This study aims to examine in depth the factors that drive Bukittinggi City to become one of the leading tourist destinations in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach through direct observation methods and semi-structured interviews with tourism industry players, local communities, and tourists, this study explores the contribution of socio-cultural characteristics of communities, geographical conditions, and the role of government to strengthening tourism attractions. The results of the study show that the character of the people of Bukittinggi who are friendly, communicative, and have a collective spirit in welcoming tourists gives a deep impression and creates a positive experience. In addition, the physical beauty of the city surrounded by mountains, valleys, and historical relics is the main attraction that other cities are difficult to match. Iconic places such as Jam Gadang, Sianok Gorge, and the historical site of Lobang Japan add educational and visual value to the city's travel experience. Good accessibility and supporting infrastructure that continues to be developed by the government, such as adequate roads, tourist information centers, and tourist-friendly accommodation, further strengthen Bukittinggi's position in the national tourism map. The study also highlights the importance of digital and social media promotion strategies in reaching younger generations of travelers, especially millennials who are looking for authentic and sustainable travel experiences. The combination of local cultural richness, natural beauty, active community participation, and supportive government policies makes Bukittinggi not only a tourist destination, but also an example of an adaptive and innovative community-based tourist city. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration if Bukittinggi is dubbed as one of the best and most potential tourist destinations in Indonesia.

Language is closely related to social and cultural aspects, including in the process of learning foreign languages such as Mandarin. Effective Chinese language learning does not only focus on linguistic aspects, but also requires an understanding of the culture of origin of the language. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the application of culture-based learning in increasing motivation to learn Chinese. The method used is literature study or library research, with documentation technique as data collection method and content analysis technique as data analysis method. Based on the analysis of twelve research articles, it was found that the integration of cultural elements such as traditional games, visual media, and Chinese pop culture can create a learning experience that is fun, interesting, and encourages students' curiosity towards Chinese. In conclusion, culture-based learning is proven to have a positive influence on motivation to learn Chinese and can be used as an alternative teaching strategy that is more contextual and fun.

The objective of this study is to design an appropriate strategy in instilling character values ??in grade 5 students of SDN Walikukun, with an emphasis on strengthening the values ??of responsibility, discipline, honesty, and cooperation. The study employed literature studies and qualitative data analysis, which resulted in the conclusion that it is very important for character building in elementary schools to be implemented systematically and sustainably. These efforts need to involve the active role of various parties, such as teachers, parents, schools, and the surrounding environment. The implementation strategy includes integrating character values ??in the teaching and learning process, habituating positive daily actions, role models from teachers, and monitoring student development through behavioral documentation. In addition, democratic and communicative parenting patterns greatly influence children's character formation, especially if adjusted to the child's innate personality type which can be recognized through approaches such as genetic personality. Simple digital technology can also be used as a supporting medium for character education, although there are still obstacles in the form of limited facilities and infrastructure. The results obtained from this study are hoped to be used as a reference in the implementation of relevant and effective character education at SDN Walikukun.

This literature review examines the effectiveness of Brain Gym as an intervention to improve children's learning concentration. Brain Gym is a series of physical movements developed to enhance brain function. Several studies in the last decade have suggested that Brain Gym activities can positively influence children's attention span and cognitive performance, particularly in educational settings. Through a review of 20 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2024, this study finds consistent evidence of improved focus and academic engagement among children who participated in regular Brain Gym exercises. The findings suggest that Brain Gym can serve as a complementary approach to conventional teaching strategies, especially for elementary-level learners. Implications for educators and future research are discussed.

Chronic disease caused by increased blood sugar levels and potentially causing many complications especially when uncontrolled conditions are known as diabetes mellitus. Glycosylated hemoglobin examination is a reliable method in evaluating long-term glycemic control because it is not affected by daily fluctuations and reflects glucose levels for 120 days. The province with the 10th highest number of diabetes mellitus cases in 2018 was Aceh. One of the districts in Aceh, namely North Aceh, is the area with the highest incidence of cases. This study aims to describe HbA1c levels and characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Cut Meutia Regional Hospital, North Aceh in 2023. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, 77 patients were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from laboratory results and MMAS-8 and MIAS-8 questionnaires. The results showed that most patients had uncontrolled HbA1c levels (90.9%), uncontrolled HbA1c men (91.7%), 56–65 years old (40.3%), had pre-hypertension blood pressure (83.1%), and medication compliance in the moderate category (54.5%). This can be concluded that cases of diabetes with uncontrolled glycosylated hemoglobin levels are men.

Coconut shell is an organic waste that has the potential to be used as fuel, activated carbon, and pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredients because it has good thermal diffusion properties due to its high cellulose and lignin content. This study aims to produce a heterogeneous catalyst based on activated carbon activated with H?PO? and KOH and to determine the effect of concentration and activation time. The method used is coconut shell pyrolysis at a temperature of 500°C for 2 hours, followed by activation using acids and bases. A total of 20 grams of activated carbon was calcined at a temperature of 500°C for 3 hours. Catalyst characterization was carried out using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze functional groups and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the crystallinity of the resulting biochar.

Planning effective English reading lessons is a complex task for teachers because of challenges such as variations in student ability levels, limited resources, and time constraints. This research aims to identify the main challenges teachers face in planning reading lessons, including improving students' reading comprehension, adjusting the level of support to students' abilities, and implementing reading strategies.  The research method used is qualitative, with data collection through semi-structured interviews with teachers from various levels of education. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify main patterns and themes.  The research results show that teachers face challenges in managing the diversity of students' reading abilities, selecting reading materials that are interesting and culturally relevant, and integrating technology into learning. Additionally, appropriate assessments for English Language Learners (ELL) students and the need to provide emotional support to students are also challenges. Limited professional training and resources contribute to this situation.  This research also concludes that successful learning to read English requires a multifaceted approach that includes learning adjustments, teacher training, collaboration, and access to a variety of reading materials. By providing adequate support for teachers, these obstacles can be overcome, so that reading learning becomes more effective and inclusive.
