Abstract

Humour has varied functions in teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly in enhancing classroom instruction. This study investigates EFL students' perspectives on their lecturers' use of humour, focusing on students from private universities. The study employed a mixed-method approach, gathering data through questionnaires from 122 students and conducting in-depth interviews with 5 students. This diverse sample included learners aged 18 to 45 years, offering insights into a broad age range. Findings indicate that humour in the EFL classroom positively influences students' learning experiences. It contributes to a relaxed learning atmosphere, fosters closer connections between students and lecturers, and enhances engagement with the material. However, it's crucial that the humour aligns with the adult status of the students, indicating a need for sensitivity and appropriateness. The study underscores humour's dual role in EFL education, akin to a double-edged sword with both positive and negative impacts. From the perspective of private university students, appropriate humour is key to effective learning, particularly for adult learners. The findings suggest that while humour can be a powerful pedagogical tool, it must be employed judiciously, considering the varied age and backgrounds of the learners. The implications extend to the broader context of EFL education in higher learning, highlighting the importance of lecturer-student dynamics and the careful integration of humour in educational settings.

Abstract

This study examines the financial management of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia and Malaysia which are the drivers of the economy in both countries, but this sector has not been able to become an independent sector and become the foundation of the national economy in both countries. The problem is that financial management in Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) ignores the importance of financial management standards, the problem is that poor financial management makes Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) insignificant in advancing the economy. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained from MSME actors by distributing questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study indicate that MSME financial management in Indonesia is not as good as Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia, meaning that Malaysia has better MSME management, this can be seen from various research indicators, namely: planning indicators, budget use, recording, reporting and controlling. Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia and Malaysia when compared to Indonesian Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) do not have good planning, have not carried out standard records, standardized reporting, are not concerned with standard financial statements, balance sheets, profit and loss, cash flow, do not have or install systems in their business units, such as control of systems and procedures, billing records of sales notes, it is very clear that Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia have not done so. Meanwhile, from the other side, when compared to Indonesian MSME respondents, the level is very small, more so for micro cart businesses, small shops that are not in the form of their own buildings, the context is very small. In Malaysia, micro, small and medium enterprises are not comparable to the conditions in Indonesia, while in Malaysia, the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) already have a more appropriate place. Thus, it is easier for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia to get banking support, while Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia are still difficult to upgrade and are still difficult to enter the bank compared to Malaysia.

Abstract

One of the successes of elections is the high level of participation. High participation guarantees the legitimacy of the government and protects the voting rights of citizens, including groups of people with disabilities. The research method used was a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and the technique for determining informants used a purposive technique. Based on research results, it shows that the Riau Province KPU has made efforts to increase the participation of disabled voters in the 2024 elections. However, these efforts have not been optimal. In carrying out its efforts, the Riau Province KPU still has obstacles so that the participation rate of disabled voters in Riau Province is still very low. The roles that have been carried out by the Riau Province KPU are conducting outreach to disabled voters, coordinating between agencies, forming democracy volunteers, opening up opportunities to organize general elections for people with disabilities, and creating accessible general elections. The obstacles faced by the Riau Province KPU in increasing the participation of people with disabilities in the 2024 elections are influenced by family factors, economic factors, and finally budget factors.

Abstract

Cyberbullying telah menjadi masalah serius, terutama di kalangan remaja yang aktif menggunakan media digital. Seiring perkembangan teknologi, platform online dan media sosial membuka peluang baru untuk perundungan, sehingga penting dilakukan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan bahaya ini dan melatih literasi digital. Literasi digital mencakup pemahaman terhadap hoax, sementara literasi non-digital menekankan pada sikap menghadapi perundungan. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui sosialisasi, sesi tanya jawab interaktif, pelatihan literasi digital, serta simulasi dan role playing. Sebelum pelatihan, 80% siswa tidak mengenal istilah cyberbullying meskipun mereka akrab dengan gawai. Sebagian kecil siswa yang memahami istilah tersebut mengetahuinya melalui media sosial seperti Instagram (65%), Facebook (10%), dan game online (3%). Setelah pelatihan, seluruh siswa memahami konsep cyberbullying dan bahayanya. Cyberbullying berdampak serius, termasuk meningkatkan risiko kecemasan, depresi, dan stres pada korban. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, diperlukan pendekatan multifaset yang mencakup pendidikan, legislasi, dan keterlibatan masyarakat. Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran siswa tentang bahaya cyberbullying dan pentingnya literasi digital. Upaya berkelanjutan harus dilakukan untuk menciptakan lingkungan digital yang aman dan inklusif

Abstract

This study discusses changes in the coalition pattern of political parties in the leadership period of President Joko Widodo who was elected in 2014 and 2019, this research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature/literature study approach, so the results show that in the first period the coalition pattern that was built was an ideological coalition pattern, but this pattern changed to transactional pragmatism, because the Coalition of political parties pro-president Joko Widodo's government experienced successive defeats in parliament, One of the defeats did not get a leadership seat in parliament because it lost the number of votes in parliament, so the ideological coalition pattern turned into a transactional pragmatic coalition, where President Joko Widodo attracted opposition parties, namely PPP, Golkar and PAN, to join the pro-government coalition, by sharing ministerial seats, with the aim that the government coalition could win in parliament in determining policies. In the second period of Joko Widodo's presidency, he became more pragmatic because Prabowo, who was Joko Widodo's rival, was drawn into a coalition with the government by giving Prabowo the position of Minister of Defense, so that the impact caused by democracy became unstable, because opposition parties were getting weaker and many policies in their determination were controversial, including the Job Creation Law, revision of the KPK Law, the IKN Law and the dissolution of organizations considered radical by the government.

Abstract

This research examines the adoption of SIMOLEK in changing the culture of public services. Licensing and non-licensing services at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office of Pekanbaru City use the SIMOLEK application as a medium to facilitate service access. However, problems arise when the infrastructure in the application is not supportive, such as wifi errors or unstable data networks in cards that have implications for the processing process slowing down. Finally, people who are processing their business licenses still have to come to the Pekanbaru City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office. By coming to the location, the government's readiness to change the culture of public services looks mature in planning but mental in implementation.  The method used in this research is through descriptive analysis which seeks to describe existing data from various sources and relate it to social phenomena and trace all the facts related to the problem of this title.The theory used in this research is Rogers' theory. The results show that the adoption of SIMOLEK has not been optimally implemented in changing the service culture but SIMOLEK is believed to be able to change the service culture from conventional face-to-face to online service processes
