Abstract

This study investigated the multifaceted impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology on environmental sustainability in Abraka Metropolis within Delta State Nigeria. It analyses how AI functions as both a powerful instrument and a potential weapon to impact public comprehension and behavioural participation at the nexus of communication studies and environmental concerns. Rationale by the media ecology theory, a mixed-methods research design necessitates the application of primary and secondary data. The population of the study is Abraka Metropolis residents. A sample of 150 respondents within and around Delta State University, Abraka were tested using a purposive sampling technique to reach experts, while a random sampling technique was used for surveying the public. Data collection methods include the use of questionnaires and interviews. For deeper insight into the subject matter, Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted with communication, environmental and AI technology experts within and around Delta State University Abraka. For data analysis, descriptive statistics summarized the analysed data, and the hypothesis was tested with inferential statistics using Spearman Rank on the Software app STATA 15.0 to analyse the data. This study concludes that AI technology creates numerous prospects for environmental sustainability communication, challenges such as deep-fake technology, algorithmic bias, and misleading AI-generated content could undermine public trust in environmental sustainability messages. It is recommended that stakeholders in communication and constituted authorities should strengthen AI literacy, enhance AI regulations, improve AI accessibility, integrate AI with human-led interventions, and encourage ethical AI development to develop both information and engagement regarding the preservation of humanity

Abstract

This study aims to examine the utilization of North Sumatra local culture as a learning resource in learning biology based on 21st century competencies and skills. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews with teachers and traditional leaders, and document analysis. The results revealed that local cultural elements such as ethnobotany, traditional agricultural systems, and environmental management wisdom can be effectively integrated into biology materials to improve students' concept understanding, learning motivation, and critical thinking skills. The implementation of local culture-based learning also encourages students' active involvement as well as the preservation of social and ecological values. However, the main challenge lies in the limited competence of teachers and the availability of adequate learning resources. This study recommends the development of local culture-based teaching modules and teacher training to support the sustainability of contextualized and sustainable biology learning. The findings provide an important contribution to the development of learning strategies that integrate local wisdom and 21st century competencies

Visually impaired children is a term that refers to people with visual impairments, including children, both totally blind and very limited vision.

The uniqueness of the history that exists in the environment can also be considered as part of local wisdom, so that we can also learn from the symbolic aspects which are generally full of local historical events. And in a prophetic dimension, local history that is developed and packaged in a positive thinking dimension can be a means of a healing and self-development process. the research objective is to maintain and arouse a sense of nationalism through local history that exists in each region. This research method uses the literature review method, namely a description of the theory, findings and other research materials obtained from reference materials to be used as the basis for research activities in formulating a clear frame of mind from the formulation of the problems to be compiled and studied. The final goal of a literature review is to get an idea of what other people have done before, literature review or also known as literature review is the first step to gathering relevant information.

Abstract

Marriage legalization (iṣbat nikah) is a legal mechanism submitted to the Religious Court to obtain official recognition of a marriage conducted according to Islamic law but not yet officially recorded in state administration. This study aims to examine the juridical basis, implementation procedures, and obstacles in submitting an iṣbat nikah application at the Karanganyar Regency Religious Court. The method used is normative juridical research with a statutory and case study approach. The study results indicate that the legal basis for iṣbat nikah is regulated in Article 7, paragraph (3) of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and Law Number 50 of 2009 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 7 of 1989 on Religious Courts. The practice at the Karanganyar Religious Court shows an increase in the number of applications, especially from couples in unregistered marriages (nikah siri). The main obstacles in the implementation are the lack of public legal awareness and limitations in evidence.This research concludes the need to improve public legal literacy as well as the active role of village government officials in encouraging early marriage registration.

Abstract

Government strategy in sports development is a critical foundation for preserving public health and fitness, which in turn boosts human resource production. This process begins with culturalization through the introduction of movement from an early age, mass promotion by making sports a lifestyle, looking for superior seeds through talent scouting and strengthening sports centers through a competition system, and improving performance through coaching nationally superior sports branches so that athletes can achieve the highest achievements. Sports serve as a vehicle for physical development, but they also serve to mold the nation's identity and character by instilling qualities such as discipline, sportsmanship, dynamism, and a strong work ethic. A nation's cohesiveness, integrity, and resilience are all strengthened by sports success, which also raises the nation's prestige and dignity internationally. The concepts of efficacy and fairness are not entirely reflected in the allocation of monies. In reality, certain sports organizations with a large following and a track record of success are given fewer budgetary allotments than other organizations with less substantial contributions. In addition, excessive budget plans and insufficient organizational governance were observed in some sports that received support. These findings have strategic significance for national sports management, notably in the establishment of a performance-based funding model that can be implemented by KONI at various regional levels. This study adds to the sports management literature by presenting a complete financial evaluation framework that can be used as a resource for national sports policy reform. To ensure that available finances can support the long-term enhancement of athlete performance, financing policies must be reformulated based on performance, real needs, and institutional responsibility.

Abstract

This research study aims to investigate and analyse why English department students of FKIP UMSU are not standard enough in pronouncing the double “O” letters based on the standard of IPA (International Pronunciation Association). Pronunciation, according to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, 3rd Edition says, 1. The act or manner in pronouncing syllables, words, and phrases with regard to the production of sounds and the placing of stress, intonation etc, 2. a). Any of accepted or standard ways of pronouncing a word, etc, b). the transcription is symbol of such a way of pronouncing a word. Based on this information we can say that the pronunciations among languages are not always similar. The word /p-u-t/ as a verb in English means to drop something in a certain place while the word /p-u-t/ as a noun in Gayonese, means someone’s butt or ass. They both have the same pronunciation, but they carry different meanings. Let alone in English, say for example, the word /w-i-n-d/, even the spelling and the pronunciation is the same but they may have different words functions meanings. The noun /w-i-n-d/ means as air in motion, while the verb /w-i-n-d/ means to turn or make revolve. This research is focusing on the pronunciation of the “O-O” letters. In fact, not all “O-O” letters in English are pronounced similarly. The words; book, good, look, cook are pronounced similar, that is by using /u/, while the words: mood, moon, shoot, food, too, booth have different pronunciations, long /u:/ is applied. Then, the words; blood, flood is pronounced as /a/, door, floor, poor, is pronounced as /o/.The question is how standard can those English department students in semester III of FKIP UMSU pronounce those double “O-O” letters ? How many presents can they pronounce these double “O” letters correctly? And what causes them?
