Science and the scientific method are two closely related concepts that support the development of research. The scientific method provides a systematic framework for acquiring, validating, and organizing knowledge, while science serves as the theoretical foundation for further exploration. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to evaluate the relationship between science and the scientific method in advancing research. By analyzing recent literature, this article identifies patterns, challenges, and opportunities in the application of the scientific method across various disciplines. The findings reveal that the scientific method not only acts as a tool for validation but also as a mechanism for fostering innovation in multidisciplinary research. This highlights its critical role in ensuring the reliability and relevance of scientific advancements.

Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) has been socialised in the digital age, which has informed their social interactions and cultural awareness. This study assesses the role of Generation Z in maintaining national identity in the context of globalisation, employing a Likert-scale interview methodology with university students aged 18–22 at Universitas Gadjah Mada. The results indicate that the majority of respondents exhibit a robust sense of patriotism (53.6% strongly agree) and express support for the preservation of national identity (70% agree/strongly agree). However, a small percentage of respondents express doubt (18.4%) or disagreement (5.2%). Generation Z proactively employs social media to advance local culture, address social issues, and reconcile global influences with local values. Despite the challenges posed by globalisation, they demonstrate a commitment to maintaining Indonesia's cultural heritage. This study recommends culturally relevant education tailored to the digital era to support Generation Z in preserving national identity while adapting to global developments.
 
 
 

The cultural heritage of the Malay community encompasses various significant aspects that reflect its richness, values, and identity, from social systems to festivals celebrating tradition. The Malay community is known for its egalitarian approach, evident in their language, social interactions, and open markets where nobles and commoners could mingle freely. Traditional arts and crafts, performing arts, and cuisine showcase the unique and rich cultural heritage passed down through generations. Pulau Penyengat, as a cultural and historical symbol, holds deep historical significance with landmarks like the Sultan Riau Grand Mosque and literary works by Raja Ali Haji, demonstrating its role in the spread of religion and culture. Events such as the Malay Cultural Festival and the Lampu Colok Festival play crucial roles in strengthening social bonds and introducing Malay culture to a wider audience. Preserving these elements is essential not only to maintain identity but also to inspire future generations to continue the traditions and noble values of the nation.

Pada saat ini, teknologi informasi mengalami perkembangan yang sangat cepat. Pengguna dapat mengakses data atau informasi secara cepat, efisien, dan akurat. Pengolahan data merupakan proses untuk mengumpulkan, memproses, dan mengelolah data menjadi informasi yang dapat digunakan untuk pengambilan keputusan. PT. Subur Sedaya Maju Prabumulih, sebuah perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang jasa service, sewa-menyewa, dan perawatan alat-alat berat, telah menggunakan komputer sebagai alat bantu dalam pengolahan kas. Namun, bagian keuangan yang mengolah penerimaan dan pengeluaran kas tetap menggunakan Ms. Excel, yang memerlukan waktu dan tenaga yang relatif lama.

Aplikasi tersebut harus terintegrasi dengan database agar dapat mempercepat pekerjaan bagian keuangan dalam membuat pelaporan bulanan dan update data kas masuk maupun kas keluar setiap hari

The aim of the research is to build a monitoring system prototype that can provide notifications in the system for collateral items that are lost or out of range within the monitoring distance of the RFID reader. so that each officer can know when the item is lost or out of reach based on the time recorded in the monitoring system. This is different from CCTV AI which can only record overall conditions and movements, but does not provide notification of loss or removal of collateral from the range of the RFID reader.
Keywords: Collateral Goods, Reader RFID, Tag RFID, Cctv AI, Notification

Electricity theft is an activity that is detrimental to the state where PLN as the party that distributes electricity has unknowingly lost its main commodity without any reciprocity in the form of payment. To overcome electricity theft, Execution of Electricity Use (P2TL) is carried out. Implementation of Electric Power Use (P2TL) is an activity to control electricity users who do not comply with installation standards. P2TL activities include planning, inspection, technical and/or legal actions and settlements carried out by PLN on PLN installations and/or Electric Power User installations. P2TL activities carried out in the Koba area from October to December 2023 found 3 violations in the area. The kWh saved as a result of P2TL from October to December was 21,480 kWh. From the kWh savings obtained, the highest loss was in October of 0.47% and the loss obtained without P2TL kWh savings was 0.48%. So that the kWh savings obtained from P2TL can reduce Non-Technical Losses. The more P2TL violations are found, the higher the reduction in losses obtained by PT PLN (Persero) ULP Koba.

This study analyzes variation skills as a strategy to improve the effectiveness of learning in early childhood. Early childhood has unique characteristics, such as short attention span and high curiosity, so variation in learning is essential to maintain their interest and engagement. Variation includes the use of various methods, media, teaching styles, and activities, which are adjusted to the developmental needs of children. Through a qualitative approach based on literature studies, this study found that variation in learning can improve children's learning motivation, concentration, and social and emotional skills. Variation also supports multisensory-based learning that strengthens conceptual understanding. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of training for teachers to master variation skills in learning, in order to create meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences for early childhood.

The results of Location Quotient (LQ) analysis show that there are 3 basic sectors or leading sectors in Riau Province for the 2018-2022 period. It is known that there are 3 basic sectors or leading sectors in Riau Province, the 3 sectors are the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries sector, the Mining and Quarrying sector, and the Manufacturing Industry sector with LQ analysis values of 2.15, 2.23, and 1.52, respectively. While the other 14 sectors are non-base sectors. For this reason, the government must better understand what sectors need to be improved and the need for cooperation from many parties so that these leading sectors can be maintained and further developed in the following year.
