This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using short stories to enhance the writing creativity of fourth-grade elementary students through a literature review approach. It employs a qualitative descriptive method with a non-experimental design. Data were gathered from various written sources such as scientific journals, books, and relevant proceedings, focusing on the role of short stories as a medium for writing instruction. The findings indicate that short stories can stimulate students' imagination, expressive abilities, and narrative understanding through structured plots rich in emotional meaning. Short stories also support students in composing more organized, creative, and expressive narrative texts, in line with the concrete thinking stage of Piaget’s theory. This approach aligns with constructivist principles, as it encourages students to connect personal experiences with story content. In the learning process, short stories are considered more engaging than traditional methods because they create a more interactive and meaningful learning environment. Therefore, the use of short stories has the potential to be an effective instructional strategy in fostering writing creativity and building a strong foundation in literacy from an early age.

Digital transformation in Indonesia has increased dependence on digital database systems, so that personal data protection has become a crucial issue. This research aims to analyze the urgency of protecting personal data in digital database systems in Indonesia from regulatory, ethical and technical strategy aspects. The method used is literature study and document analysis of regulations, ethical practices and data protection technology. The research results show that even though Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU PDP) has been passed, its implementation still faces challenges in the form of low digital literacy, weak law enforcement, and not yet optimal monitoring infrastructure. Additionally, implementing ethical principles and technical strategies, such as encryption, access control, and privacy by design, is critical to strengthening data security. This research concludes that effective personal data protection can only be realized through synergy between strong regulations, the application of digital ethics, and adequate technical strategies, in order to safeguard individual privacy rights in the digital era.

Motivating human resources is essential for enhancing organizational performance and achieving company objectives. This study explores the influence of work motivation and organizational commitment on organizational citizenship behavior among employees at RRI Bandar Lampung. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire from 84 respondents and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings support the first hypothesis, indicating that work motivation positively and significantly affects organizational citizenship behavior. However, the second hypothesis reveals that organizational commitment has a negative and statistically insignificant impact on organizational citizenship behavior. The study recommends that organizations actively engage employees in decision-making processes and ensure equal opportunities for all. Additionally, providing employee training programs to support career development is advised. A limitation of this research is its relatively small sample and population size. Future studies should consider incorporating additional variables that could affect motivation, commitment, and citizenship behavior.

This research analyzes user sentiment reviews of the KAI Access application from Google Play Store to improve customer service at PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The study uses a Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach with the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm to extract main topics from 10,000 reviews collected from April 2024 to April 2025. Analysis results show 40.7% positive sentiment reviews and 49.3% negative. After data preprocessing through case folding, normalization, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming, seven optimum topics were found from negative sentiment with a coherence score of 0.508343 and two optimum topics from positive sentiment with a coherence score of 0.511673. Analysis based on five service quality dimensions (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy) reveals that the reliability dimension becomes the main issue, including system instability, transaction failures, login difficulties, and data inaccuracy. The responsiveness dimension is the second priority, with users expecting fast and responsive service to complaints. The results of this study provide recommendations for PT KAI to prioritize improvements in system reliability and responsiveness aspects to enhance the overall user experience, which will ultimately impact customer satisfaction and loyalty.
