Wayang kulit rose and became the prima donna through the play of the character Bagong by Ki Seno Nugroho on social media. This article aims to analyze the role and meaning of Bagong in the play of wayang kulit by Ki Seno Nugroho through a semiotic approach. Ki Seno Nugroho can bring the character of Bagong to life, not only playing a comedic role but also voicing social criticism and the values of people's wisdom. Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method examines data in the form of signs and meanings formed in dialogues, gestures, expressions, and scenes involving Bagong. This method consists of two levels, namely denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (cultural and ideological meaning). The semiotic approach was chosen because of its relevance in unraveling the layers of meaning of a cultural text to reveal deeper cultural and ideological implications as well. The data source was taken from the video documentation of Ki Seno Nugroho's performance on the Dalang Seno YouTube channel with the plays Bagong Ratu and Semar Mbangun Kayangan. The results of the analysis show that (1) Bagong plays a role as a representation of the common people, (2) Bagong serves as a medium of symbolic resistance to social inequality, and (3) Bagong serves as a communicative and entertaining conveyor of local wisdom. This study confirms the position of Punakawan as an important narrative device in the play of Javanese puppetry.

The ability to write clear and descriptive texts is an essential skill in a variety of academic and professional contexts. From designing compelling narrative essays in literature class to crafting clear and concise reports in the workplace, effective descriptive writing allows individuals to communicate their ideas and engage audiences with vivid imagination and sensory detail. However, the development of these skills often requires intensive practice and constructive feedback. Traditional writing instruction often relies on human feedback from teachers and lecturers. Therefore, this study aims to compare the feedback ability generated by generative artificial intelligence on the ability to write in descriptive texts. This study uses a quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental design. This study involved 58 students of Civil Engineering Vocational Education Program. The non-equivalent control group design was used to compare the results of the experimental class and the control class. Based on the results of data analysis using the Wilcoxon test, there were 29 positive ranks, this means that there were 29 students who experienced an increase in scores at the time of the posttest with an increase of 18.38% from the pre-test score. The average Gain Score = 0.4933 with a maximum value of 0.7272 and a minimum score = 0.28. It can be concluded that the use of generative artificial intelligence in providing feedback on students' descriptive texts is a medium or quite effective.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh serta efektivitas penggunaan jobsheet terhadap hasil belajar kognitif siswa pada materi waterpass. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian eksperimen semu dengan desain penelitian nonequivalent control group design. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas X Desain Pemodelan dan Informasi Bangunan SMK Negeri 5 Semarang yang mengikuti mata pelajaran Teknik Pengukuran Tanah sebanyak 107 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel yang diperoleh sebanyak 71 siswa. Metode pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini menggunakan pre-test dan post-test berupa soal objektif yang telah di uji validitas, reliabilitas, tingkat kesukaran dan daya pembeda soal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang diperoleh, nilai rata-rata post-test kelas eksperimen sebesar 80,95 dan nilai rata-rata post-test kelas kontrol sebesar 60,56.  Dengan analisis uji independent sample t-test diperoleh thitung 7,576 > ttabel 1,667 dengan nilai signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05. Selain itu, hasil penelitian menggunakan perhitungan N-Gain pada kelas eksperimen yang menggunakan media jobsheet diperoleh persentase sebesar 51,99% yang termasuk ke dalam kategori kurang efektif dan perhitungan N-Gain pada kelas kontrol yang tidak menggunakan media jobsheet diperoleh sebesar (-6,93%) yang termasuk ke dalam kategori tidak efektif. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan jobsheet memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar kognitif siswa, namun media tersebut masih tergolong kurang efektif digunakan pada pembelajaran praktik waterpass di kelas X Desain Pemodelan dan Informasi Bangunan SMK Negeri 5 Semarang.

Servicing on 2-wheeled vehicles is needed so that the condition remains prime and minimizes the symptoms of component damage. Motorcycle service activities have an impact on the automotive world, especially in the City of Kudus. There are also many motorized vehicle users who do not know the closest route to the nearest Authorized Motorcycle Workshop in the holy city and choose Engine Fuel (BBM) that is in accordance with the type of vehicle they have. shorter service life because the RON (Research Octane Number) or octane number for each motorized vehicle is different, the octane number represents the resistance of the fuel to engine compression. With the development of information science in the current era, an Android-based application was created to search for the closest route to an official motorcycle repair shop in the Kudus City using the Djikstra Algorithm and having a BBM recommendation feature that is suitable for motorbike users' vehicles in the Kudus City.

The ability to produce a scientific work both journals, scientific articles and thesis is needed to support the competence of undergraduate students in a university. The existence of a thesis course in a number of universities is one of the efforts to train students in producing a scientific work. To arrive at the stage of making a thesis, a student must first study various kinds of courses in each study program. Choosing a thesis topic is one of the most difficult stages in the preparation of a thesis. This is because there are still many students who do not understand and know their interest and ability in one of the courses which will later be used as a topic in thesis preparation. The focus of this research is a decision support system that is able to answer student problems in determining thesis topics according to their abilities. The method used is a waterfall within the SDLC (system development life cycle) framework starting from system requirement, data collection, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The result of this research is the ability of the decision support system to provide recommendations for thesis topics according to the abilities of students. The greatest weight is for A5 students for Computer Networking interest of 1,410 while the smallest weight is for A4 students for Multimedia interest of 0.080.
