This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) aimed at producing an Electronic Student Worksheet (E-LKPD) based on Liveworksheets on the topic of the human digestive system for fifth-grade students at SDN 114/X Pandan Jaya, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. This product was developed to address the lack of interactive teaching materials in IPAS (Science) learning and to align learning with the characteristics of 21st-century learners who are familiar with digital technology. The development model used is ADDIE, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In the analysis stage, it was found that teachers had not yet used student worksheets in the learning process, while students showed high interest in digital learning media. The product was developed in accordance with the curriculum and student characteristics, and then validated by content experts (98.26%), language experts (93.33%), and media experts (84%), all of which fall into the very valid category. The product was then tested on teachers and students. The questionnaire results indicated that the E-LKPD is practical to use, with a practicality score of 98.18% from the teacher and 86% from students. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Liveworksheets-based E-LKPD is valid, practical, and suitable to be used as an interactive teaching material in IPAS learning for fifth-grade elementary school students.

Learning media are physical tools that deliver information or learning materials to students. Educational videos have become one of the aids used in teaching and learning activities. These videos can support the learning process by conveying materials through the use of technology. Therefore, the researcher was interested in developing a medium that can be both heard and seen by students to help them better understand the subject matter. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Borg & Gall development model, which consists of ten development steps. The development process included initial information gathering, planning, initial product development, expert validation tests, initial product revisions, small-scale testing, second product revisions, large-scale field testing, final product refinement, and product dissemination. The results showed that the validity test of the learning media yielded a percentage of 94% from media experts, 96% from subject matter experts, 94% from language experts, and 94% from teachers. Meanwhile, the product effectiveness test using a Paired Sample T-Test showed a significance value of 0.000, which is lower than the threshold of 0.05. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted, proving a significant difference in student learning outcomes before and after using the educational video. Therefore, it can be concluded that the educational video on "Human Needs and Resource Scarcity" for Grade VII Social Studies is valid according to experts and effective in improving student learning outcomes.

The phenomenon of online loans has emerged as a financial innovation that transforms the pattern of access to funds within urban communities. The convenience of obtaining loans without complex requirements has contributed to the rise of a consumerist lifestyle, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the use of online loans and the dynamics of consumerist lifestyles in urban society. By employing a literature review and descriptive-qualitative analysis methods, the research reveals that low financial literacy, social pressure, and the influence of social media intensify the tendency toward instant loan-based consumerist behavior. Psychological factors such as FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and the philosophy of YOLO (You Only Live Once) further reinforce this consumerist behavioral pattern. The results of the study show that the phenomenon of online loans not only impacts financial issues but also causes psychological stress and shapes compulsive consumption patterns.

The Sedekah Serabi tradition is one of the cultural heritages that developed in Empat Lawang Regency, South Sumatra Province. This tradition reflects a combination of local wisdom, religious values, and community togetherness. Historically, Sedekah Serabi is rooted in the tradition of post-harvest thanksgiving carried out by agrarian communities as a form of gratitude to God Almighty for the abundant crops. In its implementation, the community collectively makes serabi cakes and then donates them to neighbors, relatives, and children as a symbol of sharing sustenance and strengthening friendship. Over time, this tradition has not only become a form of thanksgiving, but has also developed into an annual cultural event that strengthens social identity and solidarity between residents. This study aims to explore the history, cultural values, and role of the Sedekah Serabi tradition in building social cohesion amid the dynamics of modern society.
