This article delves into the challenges of low reading interest and comprehension skills among primary school students, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to address these issues. Reading interest plays a pivotal role in academic development, making its enhancement a shared responsibility among students, teachers, and parents. Through a comprehensive literature review of relevant journals sourced from Google Scholar, the article identifies effective strategies to foster reading interest and improve comprehension skills. Key findings suggest that employing engaging instructional techniques can significantly boost students' reading interest and comprehension abilities. Additionally, cultivating reading habits from an early age by providing appealing reading materials has been shown to establish lasting reading habits into adulthood. Proficient reading skills not only broaden knowledge but also stimulate imagination and creativity. Consequently, educators are encouraged to actively implement effective reading strategies to support literacy development in primary schools.

This study aimed to identify the impact of designing agility ladder drills and their role in developing types of speed and improving the skill performance of the setup skill in volleyball. The researcher adopted an experimental method using pre- and post-tests over an 8-week training program, with a sample of 10 players from Al-Sahaf Al-Oula Intermediate School in Najaf Al-Ashraf. Statistical analysis (SPSS) revealed that the agility ladder drills contributed to developing specific types of speed among the research sample. Additionally, improvements were observed in speed test results and in the volleyball setup skill performance. The researcher recommends implementing the designed agility ladder exercises for their effectiveness in enhancing agility, flexibility, and coordination, as well as diversifying training methods to develop physical attributes.

This study explores various factors relating to the implementation of digital learning tools intended to inspire excitement among fourth-grade students. The motivation for this research stems from the noticeable lack of student participation, which is associated with the limited availability of diverse and stimulating educational resources. It is proposed that the adoption of digital educational tools can create a more engaging and relevant learning environment, subsequently boosting students' drive to learn. The investigation follows a qualitative framework, utilizing a case study method where data is gathered through the observation and documentation of fourth-grade students in elementary education. Findings from this research indicate that the incorporation of digital educational materials, including teaching videos, interactive assessments, and online learning platforms, markedly enhances students’ engagement and participation in their educational experience. The utilization of digital content fosters a more vibrant classroom atmosphere, aiding students in grasping the material more effectively. In summary, digital educational resources have the potential to significantly improve student motivation, especially within primary schooling.

Pimpinella pruatjan is a native Indonesian medicinal plant increasingly threatened by overexploitation and limited cultivation techniques. This study aims to systematically review the role of tissue culture in the conservation and production of its secondary metabolites. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, data were gathered from scientific literature published in the last five years through open-access databases. The findings reveal that tissue culture techniques not only effectively regenerate purwoceng but also significantly enhance the production of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, betaine, and sterols. This study demonstrates that biotechnology-based tissue culture is a strategic solution for conserving endangered medicinal plants while optimizing their utilization for biodiversity-based pharmaceutical industries.

As one of the oldest hospitals in Bekasi Regency, KM I Hospital is required to remain trusted by patients in choosing health services including inpatient care. The decline in BOR (Bed Occupancy Rate) experienced by KM I Hospital in the last 1 year indicates that hospital marketing needs to be improved.  This study aims to analyze the effect of competitive advantage and informational reference groups on patient's decision in choosing inpatient services with benevolence trust as an intervening variable at KM I Hospital. The research method uses a quantitative explanatory research approach. Respondents were 185 patients at KM I Hospital who were willing to be hospitalized. The sample collection technique was purposive sampling. Data collection used a questionnaire, and the data analysis technique used SEM-PLS. Results show that Competitive Advantage and Informational Reference Group have a direct and indirect effect on patient’s decision to choose inpatient services through benevolence trust at KM I Hospital (p<0.05). These results theoretically support previous theories and research. Managerially, it is expected to provide input for KM I Hospital management to increase competitive advantage and strengthen informational reference groups. These efforts can increase benevolence trust and ultimately increase patient’s decision to choose inpatient services.

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has opened up great opportunities in increasing the effectiveness of mathematics learning, especially in supporting students' computational thinking skills. This article presents a mini-literature review related to the use of Tibi's Mathematics Suite (TMS) as interactive software in mathematics learning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and desk research method, this study analyzes various scientific sources to evaluate the contribution of TMS to the development of computational thinking, which includes decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. The results of the study show that TMS is able to increase students' interest in learning, independence, and metacognitive awareness, although its implementation still faces challenges such as limited infrastructure and teacher training. This review recommends the need for further empirical studies and education policy support so that the integration of TMS can be more optimal in the context of the Independent Curriculum and the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile.

This research discusses the legal process against children who commit indecent crimes and the role of rehabilitation as a recovery effort based on Decision Number XXX/Pid.Sus-Anak/2024/PN Mgg. This investigation uses normative and empirical legal methods by analyzing laws and regulations and judicial practices against children. This investigation purposes to examine the role of the prosecutor in determining the boarding school as a place of rehabilitation and assess the suitability of the prosecutor's charges with the provisions of juvenile criminal law in Indonesia. The findings showed that prosecutors play an important role in determining the form of rehabilitation by coordinating with community supervisors, considering the best interests of the child as stipulated in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Child Criminal Justice System (UU SPPA). The selection of pesantren as a place for rehabilitation reflects an educational approach that not only punishes, but also shapes the morals and character of children so that they can return to society in a better condition. This rehabilitation also provides access to education and guidance in an environment that supports the mental and social recovery of children and prevents repetition of criminal acts.

This study examines the role of the Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office in developing Manggar Beach as a leading tourist destination in Balikpapan City. Using Pitana and Gayatri's theory on the role of government as a motivator, facilitator, and dynamic, this study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation.
