Abstract

Background. Children with special needs (ABK) are children who are in several ways different from other children in general. Among the crew members are Special Children (ALB), which consists of children who are blind, deaf, mentally retarded, quadriplegic, mentally disabled and double disabled. Some of the main things that need to be considered in the learning process for ALB are teachers, learning methods, learning approaches, infrastructure and learning support media (teaching aids). Purpose. The purpose of this community service activity is to solve the problems faced by partners in the English learning process, namely when a disorder results in disruption in daily functioning, especially in learning, the student requires special services (children with special educational needs) and requires specific learning methods in addition to appropriate and interactive learning media. Method. The solution offered to overcome this problem is the optimization of teaching methods. The recommended approach in the English language assistance activities for the Cilacap State Polytechnic PkM Team is in the form of prompts and demonstrations. Meanwhile, teaching English can use total physical response (TPR) by maximizing lip reading technique in addition to maximizing the use of flash cards to attract students' interest and focus. Results. The results obtained from this community service activity are increasing the ability of children with special needs to say a few simple words in English. The growth and development of children with special needs increase after the community service activities are completed. This is shown from the evaluation results carried out by the service team by conducting a post-test on ABK. Conclusion. To get significant results, namely increasing the growth and development of ABK, especially in the pronunciation of words in English, it is better if this activity is carried out regularly in the future.

Abstract

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a serious threat to computer network security. This study offers a comprehensive evaluation by considering accuracy, detection time, and model complexity in simulation scenarios. Using the CICDDoS2019 dataset, which includes modern attack variations and complete features, this research compares the effectiveness of Naïve Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), and Decision Tree (DT) algorithms in detecting DDoS attacks. The results show that RF achieves the highest accuracy (99.95%), while DT excels in recall (99.83%). These findings provide a foundation for developing hybrid ML-DL models to enhance real-time attack detection. However, limitations such as using a single dataset and offline simulations restrict the generalizability of results to real-world network conditions. This study highlights opportunities for more comprehensive future research in real-world scenarios.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation challenges faced by students enrolled in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs at polytechnic institutions. Recognizing that translation tasks demand both linguistic and technical competencies, this research aims to assess students’ translation performance across four key criteria: accuracy, grammar, fluency, and adherence to meaning. Employing a mixed-methods approach, fifteen students were assigned to translate technical and narrative texts commonly found in ESP curricula. Their translations were evaluated using a rubric-based system to identify patterns in performance and recurring issues. The results show that while most students demonstrated high levels of accuracy and adherence to meaning, several faced difficulties in grammar and fluency, particularly when translating culturally rich or narrative content. These findings highlight the importance of integrating targeted translation training into ESP courses, with a focus on enhancing grammatical precision and natural language flow. The study contributes to a better understanding of how polytechnic students translate specialized texts and offers practical recommendations for improving translation instruction within ESP frameworks.

Abstract

This study explores gendered communication patterns on X by examining tweet length, sentiment expression, and lexical choices in 20.050 tweets across 26 variables. Through sentiment analysis using the Bing Lexicon and word frequency analysis, the research investigates how male and female users differ in their digital communication styles. The study also incorporates non-parametric statistical tests, such as the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon rank sum tests, to assess significant differences in tweet length and sentiment scores between genders. Results show that women tend to write shorter, more positive tweets, often reflecting a more personal and relational communication style. In contrast, men’s tweets are generally longer, incorporating more action-oriented language and a broader range of topics. While sentiment analysis revealed a trend of more positive tweets from women, the lack of statistical significance in sentiment differences highlights the complex nature of gendered expression in digital spaces. This research contributes to the understanding of gendered communication on social media and suggests the need for future studies to examine the intersectionality of gender with other social factors.

Abstract

This study investigates the specific moments and conditions that trigger speaking anxiety among engineering undergraduates in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course at a Politeknik Negeri Cilacap. Drawing on open‐ended responses from 101 students, the primary goal was to uncover the classroom scenarios—beyond general anxiety scales—that most disrupt learners’ oral performance. Narrative data were repeatedly reviewed following Braun and Clarke’s inductive thematic analysis procedures; provisional codes for anxiety‐provoking incidents (e.g., more comfortable in a small group, fear of being laughed at, nervous when unprepared) were generated and organized into coherent themes. It is anticipated that speaking anxiety will be found at a moderate level, with the greatest distress being associated with lexical retrieval under time pressure and unprepared, impromptu speaking tasks. Secondary triggers are expected to include concerns about grammatical accuracy and pronunciation, while social factors—such as instructor scrutiny or mixed‐gender audiences—will likely play a smaller role. These predicted patterns underscore the dual burden of technical content mastery and language production in ESP contexts. By pinpointing discipline‐specific anxiety triggers, this work aims to inform targeted pedagogical interventions—like scaffolded vocabulary drills, brief planning aids, and supportive feedback practices—to help ESP instructors foster more confident, resilient speakers.
