The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of microbial inoculants and nutrient levels on the agronomic performance of dry direct-seeded NSIC Rc192 rice under aerobic conditions. Six biofertilizer treatments (control, Bio-N, BioGroe, Mykovam, MykoPlus, and Avatar) were combined with four nutrient levels (0 %, 25 %, 50 %, and 75 % NP + full K). The study aimed to assess the impact of these treatments on root colonization, tiller production, and overall plant growth. Root and soil colonization at 60 days after sowing (DAS) revealed that MykoPlus facilitated more effective root colonization than other inoculants. However, unfavorable environmental conditions, including high temperatures and moisture deficits, negatively impacted tiller production and grain yield. Despite these challenges, BioGroe showed the most promise, significantly enhancing root development and tiller count, particularly when combined with 50 % NP + full K. The study concluded that microbial inoculants, especially BioGroe, can improve rice growth under aerobic conditions, but environmental factors are crucial in determining their effectiveness. Further research is needed to optimize these inoculants for varying environmental conditions to maximize their benefits in rice cultivation.

Indonesia, a leading palm oil producer, generates 1,250 tons of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) waste daily, typically disposed of through polluting combustion. This study explores repurposing OPEFB as a substrate for erythritol production, a popular sweetener with minimal impact on blood sugar. The research utilized Moniliella pollinis mutant SP5, a yeast capable of producing erythritol from various substrates. The process involved acid hydrolysis of OPEFB followed by fermentation. When fortified with 15% v/v molasses, OPEFB successfully served as an optimal carbon source for erythritol production, achieving a mass yield of 0.2878 g/g. Further improvement came through the use of ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis, with the best mutant (mutant 7) reaching a yield mass of 0.3298 g/g and volumetric productivity of 0.0534 g/L/h. This research aims to advance Indonesia's self-sufficiency in erythritol production while providing a sustainable solution for OPEFB waste reduction, simultaneously addressing economic and environmental concerns.

Hikayat Malem Diwa is one of the classic literary works in the Malay-Aceh tradition that is rich in language and cultural values. This story contains various language styles, especially euphemisms and dysphemisms, which reflect social norms, moral values, and conflict dynamics in Acehnese society. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms and functions of these two language styles, emphasizing their semantic and narrative roles. Using a semantic approach and qualitative descriptive methods, data were collected through quotations in the text with documentation techniques, then analyzed based on the context of meaning and use. The results show that euphemisms are often used to convey moral values ??and politeness, especially in terms of death, respect, and violation of norms. In contrast, dysphemisms appear in the context of violence and character conflict, strengthening the tension and emotion of the story. Overall, the use of these language styles reflects the rhetorical strategies and cultural values ??of the Acehnese people.

 In political contests, campaign visuals play a significant role in shaping public perceptions of candidates. Campaign advertisements often do not only convey messages explicitly, but also embed symbolic meanings through visual and audio elements. The problem addressed in this study lies in how visual propaganda is strategically employed in the Prabowo-Gibran campaign advertisement titled Generasi Sehat Indonesia Maju to construct a positive image of the candidate pair through the representation of children and symbols of health. This study aims to examine the use of visual and audio elements in building a political narrative that appeals to both emotional and symbolic aspects. Using a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, the research explores visual representations of healthy and joyful children, the symbolism of milk as a health icon, and the portrayal of the main figures as close to family values. The findings indicate that the visual propaganda in this advertisement effectively communicates the campaign's message by establishing a positive association with the candidates through elements of togetherness, concern for children's nutrition, and hope for a better future. In conclusion, the advertisement utilizes visual propaganda to foster the perception that the Prabowo-Gibran pair are leaders who genuinely care about the younger generation and the well-being of Indonesian families.

This study aims to analyze the impact of higher education training on labor market demand in Africa, using a documentation study approach. In an ever-evolving global context, higher education plays an important role in preparing individuals to face the demands of a dynamic labor market. However, in many African countries, there is a gap between the skills provided by higher education institutions and the needs of the labor market. Through documentation studies, this study collects and analyzes secondary data originating from various government reports, international institutions, and previous studies regarding the relationship between higher education and labor demand in Africa. The findings show that although higher education in Africa can improve the quality of human capital, there is a mismatch between the skills taught and the skills required by the industrial sector. This study also identified key challenges, such as a lack of relevant curriculum and limited educational facilities, that impact the effectiveness of training in meeting labor market needs. Therefore, this study recommends curriculum reform that is more adaptive to industry needs and increased collaboration between educational institutions and the private sector to create more relevant and quality training programs

This literature review examines the progress, challenges, and opportunities in adopting sustainable construction practices in Nigeria over the past two decades. Significant advancements have been made, particularly in the use of energy-efficient materials and Building Information Modeling (BIM), which have improved project efficiency and sustainability. Policy frameworks have evolved to support these technological innovations, but widespread adoption of sustainable practices is still hindered by economic constraints, cultural resistance, and regulatory gaps. Economic challenges, especially the high costs of sustainable technologies, are major obstacles, worsened by limited financial incentives and economic instability. Cultural factors, such as a preference for traditional construction methods, and inconsistent enforcement of building codes further complicate efforts to promote sustainability. Despite these barriers, there is growing awareness of the need to integrate sustainability into the construction sector, driven by both global environmental concerns and local development needs. The review also highlights its limitations, including a reliance on published academic literature, which may not fully capture recent industry trends or local realities. Excluding grey literature and non-English publications may omit important regional perspectives. The review recommends future research on detailed economic analyses of sustainable technologies, exploring the integration of traditional and modern practices, and comparative studies with similar countries.
