Abstract

The advent of social media has transformed the way adolescents communicate and interact with one another. While social media provides a platform for social connection, its influence on the quality of interpersonal relationships, particularly among adolescents, remains a critical area of study. In Indonesia, where social media usage among adolescents is high, understanding its impact on relationships is crucial for promoting healthy social interactions. This study investigates the influence of social media on the quality of interpersonal relationships in adolescents in Indonesia. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 300 adolescents aged 12-18 years. The survey measured the frequency of social media use and the perceived quality of relationships with family, friends, and peers. The qualitative interviews provided deeper insights into adolescents’ experiences with social media and its role in shaping their social interactions. The results indicate that excessive social media use is associated with lower quality in face-to-face interactions, leading to weaker emotional bonds with family and friends. However, moderate use of social media was linked to enhanced peer connections and better communication skills. The study concludes that social media can both positively and negatively affect interpersonal relationships, and suggests that balanced usage should be encouraged to foster healthier social dynamics.

Abstract

The development of entrepreneurial character in high school students is essential in preparing them for future challenges in an increasingly dynamic world. Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as an effective pedagogical strategy to foster various skills, including problem-solving, teamwork, and entrepreneurial thinking. However, its application specifically to build entrepreneurial character has not been sufficiently explored in the context of high school education. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning in enhancing entrepreneurial characteristics such as creativity, risk-taking, leadership, and innovation in high school students. A mixed-method research design was employed, involving both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with students and teachers. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ entrepreneurial skills, particularly in their ability to think critically, take initiative, and collaborate effectively in a team setting. Students also demonstrated greater confidence in pursuing entrepreneurial ventures after participating in PBL activities. The findings suggest that integrating PBL into the curriculum can significantly contribute to the development of entrepreneurial character in high school students, which is essential for fostering future entrepreneurs. This research provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers in rethinking educational practices to better equip students for the challenges of the 21st century.

Abstract

Influenza virus remains a significant global health challenge, causing seasonal epidemics and potential pandemics with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims to develop a recombinant vaccine as a safer and more effective alternative to traditional influenza vaccines, which often suffer from limited efficacy and lengthy production timelines. Utilizing a recombinant DNA technology approach, this research employed the baculovirus expression system to produce hemagglutinin (HA) antigens derived from the influenza A virus. Experimental methods included antigen purification, immunogenicity assays in murine models, and neutralizing antibody titration. Results revealed that the recombinant HA vaccine elicited a robust immune response, with a significant increase in hemagglutination inhibition titers compared to control groups. Furthermore, the vaccinated subjects exhibited substantial protection against viral challenge, evidenced by reduced viral load and minimized lung pathology. The findings suggest that recombinant vaccine platforms offer promising avenues for rapid and scalable vaccine development. This study underscores the potential of recombinant influenza vaccines in mitigating future influenza outbreaks with improved safety, efficacy, and production agility.

Abstract

Indigenous knowledge has long been a cornerstone in the management of natural resources, particularly in the sustainable use and conservation of forests. With increasing pressure on forests due to climate change and human activities, there is a growing interest in integrating indigenous practices with modern forest management strategies. Despite its significance, the role of indigenous knowledge in promoting sustainable forest management (SFM) remains underexplored in contemporary research. This study aims to explore the contributions of indigenous knowledge to sustainable forest management practices, particularly in the context of biodiversity conservation, forest regeneration, and the resilience of forest ecosystems. The research focuses on identifying how traditional ecological knowledge can complement scientific forest management techniques to foster more effective and culturally appropriate solutions to forest conservation. A qualitative research approach was used, employing semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with indigenous communities in forested regions. Secondary data from government reports and local conservation organizations were also analyzed. The study was conducted in three distinct forest regions, each with a different indigenous culture and forest management tradition. The study found that indigenous knowledge systems contribute significantly to the maintenance of biodiversity, the prevention of deforestation, and the sustainable harvesting of forest resources. Traditional practices such as rotational farming, sacred groves, and community-based monitoring systems play a crucial role in preserving forest ecosystems and ensuring their long-term health. Indigenous knowledge is an invaluable resource in the effort to achieve sustainable forest management. The integration of traditional ecological practices with modern conservation strategies can enhance the effectiveness of forest management, promoting both ecological sustainability and community well-being.
