This study examines the level and factors influencing students’ intrinsic motivation in learning English at SMKN 1 Bukittinggi, specifically among 11th-grade students who struggled to meet academic standards and showed low interest in independent learning. An explanatory sequential mixed-method approach was employed, using questionnaires and interviews. The instruments were tested for construct validity and test-retest reliability. Results showed that the majority of students had moderate intrinsic motivation, with 12% displaying high motivation, 79% moderate, and 9% low. Key factors identified were strong character traits such as integrity and responsibility, self-awareness, mental resilience, and effective coping strategies for overcoming failures. These findings suggest that students’ intrinsic motivation is influenced by personal qualities and their ability to handle challenges, which play a crucial role in their engagement and persistence in learning English as a foreign language.

This research focuses on exchange rate fluctuations in Indonesia during the period of 2005 to 2023, influenced by various economic factors, primarily monetary policy and international trade dynamics. Exchange rate instability is a major concern because it can impact the national economy, including export competitiveness and macroeconomic stability. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to dissect the relationship between interest rates, export values, and wide money as it pertains to currency swings.  This study takes a quantitative approach by analyzing the relationship between the dependent and independent variables via multiple linear regression.  World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Statistics Indonesia yearly time series data from 2005 to 2023 is used.  The findings show that broad money, interest rates, and export values significantly impact the swings in the Indonesian currency.  According to the findings of the multiple linear regression analysis, Interest rates and broad money have a positive and statistically significant effect on changes in exchange rates, but export values have a negative and statistically significant effect. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of appropriate interest rate policies and balanced broad money management to maintain exchange rate stability. Future researchers are advised to include global variables and more complex analysis methods.

Pandemi COVID-19 memberi tantangan besar dalam upaya peningkatan derajat kesehatan masyarakat Indonesia dan berdampak terhadap sistem kesehatan di Indonesia, yang terlihat dari penurunan kinerja pada beberapa program kesehatan. Hal ini disebabkan prioritasi pada penanggulangan pandemi COVID-19 serta adanya kekhawatiran masyarakat dan petugas terhadap penularan COVID-19. Sementara itu, tingkat kerentanan masyarakat semakin meningkat yang disebabkan kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap penerapan protokol kesehatan seperti memakai masker, mencuci tangan dan menjaga jarak minimal 1 – 2 meter. Tanpa intervensi kesehatan masyarakat yang cepat dan tepat, diperkirakan sebanyak 2,5 juta kasus COVID-19 akan memerlukan perawatan di rumah sakit di Indonesia dengan angka kematian yang diperkirakan mencapai 250.000 kematian. Oleh karena itu, perlu segera dilakukan intervensi tidak hanya dari sisi penerapan protokol kesehatan namun juga diperlukan intervensi lain yang efektif untuk memutuskan mata rantai penularan penyakit, yaitu melalui upaya vaksinasi.
