This study aims to analyze the causes of bottlenecks in lip balm production at PT Rumah Rumput Laut by using a survey approach and fishbone diagram analysis method. The research method used is a descriptive method with survey approach which was conducted at PT Rumah Rumput Laut, Bogor Regency, West Java. Data were collected through observations and interviews with related parties in the production process based on previously identified problems. A fishbone diagram was used to identify the factors causing bottlenecks, which were grouped into six main categories, namely: manpower, machine, method, material, measurement, and environment. The results of the fishbone diagram analysis show that bottlenecks in lip balm production are caused by the irregular flow of material transfer, long waiting time for the quality control process, and limited production capacity. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to improve the operator supervision system, implement a regular machine maintenance schedule, rearrange the production space layout, and use technology to monitor machine conditions in real time.

Land law politics in Indonesia plays a crucial role in realizing social justice and sustainable development through fair and sustainable management of agrarian resources. The primary legal foundation governing land matters is Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles (UU Pokok Agraria), which asserts that all land, water, and air spaces are controlled by the state and utilized to the greatest extent for the welfare of the people. However, the implementation of land law politics faces significant challenges, including disparities in land distribution, agrarian conflicts, and misalignment between central and regional policies. Policy changes, such as the introduction of Land Management Rights and Land Banks through the Omnibus Law, add complexity and raise questions about their alignment with UU Pokok Agraria's fundamental principles. Resolving land disputes also becomes a critical issue, necessitating effective and inclusive legal mechanisms. Therefore, comprehensive reform in land law politics is required, encompassing regulatory harmonization, consistent law enforcement, and active public participation, to ensure fair and sustainable land management for the welfare of the people.

This study aims to improve mathematics learning outcomes on probability material through the application of rotating wheel media in class 6A UPT SDN Kutorejo 1. Probability material is considered difficult by students because it is abstract and requires logical thinking skills. This study uses the PTK method with two cycles involving 29 students. Each cycle consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The rotating wheel media used is in the form of a circle that can be rotated and contains pictures of typical Tuban souvenirs as objects of probability that students must calculate in groups and independently. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student learning outcomes, marked by an increase in the average score from pretest to posttest in each cycle. In addition, the rotating wheel media also increased student learning motivation and active involvement in learning. PjBL approach combined with this media makes learning more interactive, and fun. In conclusion, the use of rotating wheel media is effective in helping students understand the concept of probability, improving learning outcomes, and overcoming abstract mathematics learning difficulties. The recommendation of this study is the use of rotating wheel media as an alternative innovation in mathematics learning in elementary schools.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of project-based learning through the creation of clipping envelope(KLIPOP) of norms in the Pancasila Education subject, as well as to evaluate its impact on improving the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN Kutorejo 1 Tuban. The background of this research is the low student achievement in Pancasila Education, often caused by conventional, theoretical teaching methods that lack connection to students’ real-life experiences. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and the results of pre-tests and post-tests. The findings show that project-based learning is effective in improving students’ learning outcomes. This is evidenced by the increase in the average test score from 74.8 (pre-test) to 91.3 (post-test). Students also demonstrated greater engagement, creativity, and collaboration in understanding the norms contained in Pancasila. By involving students in contextual activities, such as collecting information and creatively designing norm envelopes, learning becomes more meaningful and applicable. Therefore, this learning model can serve as a strategic alternative to enhance students’ understanding and academic performance in Pancasila Education at the elementary level.

The role of the Women's Protection Unit of the North Gorontalo Police in overcoming violence against children consists of: Law enforcement where the PPA Unit is directly responsible for the investigation and inquiry process for reports of violence against children, Providing legal protection and escort for victims during the legal process. Prevention through education and socialization by: Conducting counseling activities in schools, villages, and places of worship about the dangers of violence against children. Providing a child-friendly playroom in the PPA Unit room to make victims feel safe when providing information. What factors influence the Women's Protection Unit of the North Gorontalo Police in handling cases of violence against children, namely: The victim is not open in providing information, The perpetrator is the victim's own family, The status of the victim's child who is still a student, The level of awareness and community participation, The facilities and infrastructure. For the PPA Unit, it is better to conduct more intensive socialization so that sexual violence crimes can be minimized and the future of children can be saved from irresponsible parties; For victims, it is better to be more open and try to adapt to the environment so that the psychological trauma experienced will be reduced compared to locking themselves away which can cause prolonged frustration. For the community, it is better to seek information more often related to acts that are prohibited or not by law. So that if in the future they experience an incident, especially related to sexual violence crimes, the community will not hesitate to report it to the authorities. This can help victims, at least the suspect can be given a punishment that is commensurate with his actions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acceptance and performance of users of the Virtual Class application in the Bali Melajah Portal using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). This study found the main components of adoption, evaluated performance disparities, and suggested ways to improve LMS adoption in secondary schools.
Methods: This study used a quantitative approach through an online survey conducted to collect data from teachers and students. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to evaluate the relationship between the variables in the research model. IPA was used to evaluate system performance and determine areas for improvement.
Results: The study showed that perceived ease of use significantly influenced perceived usefulness, which in turn affected attitudes and behavioral intentions. Meanwhile, behavioral intentions positively affected actual system use. Performance mismatch was found, with the lowest percentage of conformity of 97.76% for actual system use. Quadrant analysis highlighted that, although the system was perceived as useful and easy to use, involvement, accessibility, and institutional support were necessary for effective system use.
Novelty: This study offers a two-pronged assessment of LMS adoption in secondary schools by combining TAM and IPA. Unlike earlier studies that only evaluated user perceptions or system performance separately, this paper provides a complete approach to maximizing government-supported digital learning platforms. These findings give policymakers and application developers knowledge to improve the adoption of Virtual Classroom LMS.
