This research aims to determine the types of language styles used by the main female character in the novel "Mariposa" by Luluk HF and to analyze the meaning and function of these language styles in building character characterization. The problem that will be raised in this research is the form and variations of language styles that appear in the dialogue and monologue of the main character, as well as the role of these language styles in revealing the psychological dimensions of the character. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method with a stylistic approach, where data is collected through reading and note-taking techniques for quotations that contain language styles in the novel. The results of the analysis show that there are five dominant language styles used by the main character, namely metaphor, hyperbole, personification, simile, and repetition. This language style functions to describe the character's feelings, strengthen the delivery of the message, and build an atmosphere in the story. This research has the potential to become a reference for the development of stylistic studies of contemporary Indonesian literature and can be used as learning material for stylistic analysis at the tertiary level as well as for similar research with a focus on other linguistic aspects.

This research aims to analyze the comparison of using contextual learning media (concrete) involving technology in improving the mathematics learning outcomes of first-grade elementary school students.  The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach.  Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation to understand students' interactions with creative learning media and its impact on their understanding of basic mathematical concepts.  The results of this study indicate that the use of learning media, both contextual (concrete) and involving technology, such as visual aids and educational games, can increase students' interest in learning, help them understand the material more easily, and have a positive impact on their mathematics learning outcomes.  It is hoped that the use of innovative and creative learning media can continue to be applied in mathematics education to support the cognitive development and interest of students in mathematics from an early age.  However, the use of concrete learning media involving counting boards and jumping frogs is hindered by time efficiency.

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.

This study aims to describe the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in optimizing soil health management through a systematic literature review. This research compares various IoT implementations for monitoring soil moisture, pH, and nutrients based on previous studies, and identifies differences in technological approaches, sensors used, and automation levels. The review results indicate that although IoT technology is proven effective for real-time soil condition monitoring and supporting precision agriculture, its implementation varies significantly between advanced systems with full automation developed internationally and simpler, local monitoring systems in Indonesia. The comparison shows that wireless inductive moisture sensors are superior in accuracy and corrosion resistance compared to conductive sensors. A TDS sensor-based hydroponic nutrient monitoring system demonstrated high accuracy with an average error of 4.7468% , while soil pH monitoring achieved an accuracy with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.14. Furthermore, automated watering systems proved to reach a success rate of up to 93.75%. This review concludes that adapting low-cost wireless sensor system models has great potential for improving the efficiency of soil management in Indonesia, despite facing challenges in infrastructure and digital literacy.
 

The Ritel business in Indonesia is growing and increasing every year because it is considered a promising investment with great potential for significant profits. This study aims to understand and evaluate the layout of Retail Lestari's business. The method used in analyzing the data is the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) method. Based on the results of the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) analysis of Ritel Lestari, the facility prioritized for first construction is the cashier, as the cashier has the highest Total Closeness Rating (TCR) value of 76. Therefore, to facilitate the operational process, the placement of other facilities is prioritized based on their highest relationship values to the warehouse to be in close proximity.

This study aims to analyzes the management of beef cattle maintenance in Pematang Sijonam Village, Perbaungan District, using a survey method through interviews and observations of farmers. Data includes maintenance techniques, feed quality, livestock health, and management practices that affect productivity. The results show that farmers are still using traditional techniques and facing obstacles in providing quality feed and managing livestock health. Factors such as farmer knowledge, skills, resource availability, and government support greatly affect the success of maintenance management. To increase the productivity and welfare of farmers, it is necessary to increase knowledge and skills through training, as well as government support in providing adequate resources and maintenance facilities.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using the Kahoot! application as a tool for student learning evaluation at the elementary school level. Using a literature review method, the researchers analyzed various relevant journals and scientific articles to assess the advantages, limitations, and impacts of Kahoot in the evaluation process. The findings indicate that Kahoot effectively enhances student motivation and participation, improves learning outcomes, and facilitates teachers in conducting interactive and enjoyable assessments. This application also supports the integration of online learning and can be flexibly used across multiple platforms. However, several challenges remain, such as limited internet access and the lack of ICT competence among teachers. Therefore, institutional support in the form of training and infrastructure provision is necessary to optimize the use of Kahoot in the learning process.
