Sepak takraw merupakan cabang olahraga yang ditandai oleh gerakan eksplosif tungkai bawah, perubahan arah yang cepat, dan tuntutan presisi teknik yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji perubahan power tungkai dan kelincahan kaki setelah penerapan program latihan plyo-agility selama 12 minggu pada atlet sepak takraw Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan eksperimen lapangan kuantitatif dengan desain one-group pretest-posttest yang melibatkan 20 atlet, terdiri atas 10 atlet putra dan 10 atlet putri. Intervensi dilakukan tiga kali per minggu dengan mengombinasikan latihan plyometric dan drill yang berorientasi pada agility. Power tungkai diukur menggunakan digital vertical jump test, sedangkan kelincahan kaki diukur menggunakan T-test agility. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan skor pada kedua variabel setelah intervensi. Performa agility secara keseluruhan membaik, yang ditunjukkan oleh penurunan rerata waktu T-test dari 11,45 detik menjadi 10,60 detik, atau setara dengan perubahan sebesar 7,45%. Power tungkai juga meningkat, dengan rerata performa vertical jump naik dari 48,20 cm menjadi 52,82 cm, atau setara dengan perubahan sebesar 9,61%. Atlet putra dan putri sama-sama menunjukkan perubahan positif, meskipun atlet putra tetap memiliki nilai performa absolut yang lebih tinggi pada agility maupun explosive power. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa latihan plyo-agility berpotensi mendukung peningkatan efisiensi gerak multidireksional dan performa eksplosif ekstremitas bawah secara bersamaan. Sebagai kesimpulan, latihan plyo-agility merupakan pendekatan pengondisian fisik yang praktis dan relevan untuk atlet sepak takraw. Penelitian ini memberikan dukungan empiris awal bagi integrasi komponen plyometric dan agility dalam program pengembangan atlet serta menambah bukti ilmiah yang masih terbatas mengenai pengondisian fisik spesifik pada cabang olahraga sepak takraw. Penelitian terkontrol lebih lanjut tetap diperlukan untuk memperkuat inferensi kausal dan menyempurnakan rekomendasi program latihan. The Effect of Plyo-Agility Training on Agility and Explosive Power in Sepak Takraw Athletes in South Sulawesi Abstract Sepak takraw is a sport characterized by explosive lower-limb actions, rapid changes of direction, and high demands on technical precision. This study aimed to examine changes in lower-limb power and foot agility following a 12-week plyo-agility training program in South Sulawesi sepak takraw athletes. A quantitative field experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed involving 20 athletes, consisting of 10 males and 10 females. The intervention was conducted three times per week and combined plyometric exercises with agility-oriented drills. Lower-limb power was measured using the digital vertical jump test, while foot agility was assessed through the T-test agility protocol. The results showed improved scores in both variables after the intervention. Overall agility performance improved, as indicated by a reduction in mean T-test time from 11.45 s to 10.60 s, representing a 7.45% change. Lower-limb power also increased, with mean vertical jump performance rising from 48.20 cm to 52.82 cm, equivalent to a 9.61% change. Male and female athletes both demonstrated positive changes, although male athletes maintained higher absolute performance values in both agility and explosive power. These findings indicate that plyo-agility training may help support improvements in multidirectional movement efficiency and explosive lower-extremity performance simultaneously. In conclusion, plyo-agility training represents a practical and sport-relevant conditioning approach for sepak takraw athletes. The study provides preliminary empirical support for integrating plyometric and agility components in athlete development programs and contributes to the still limited evidence base on sport-specific conditioning in sepak takraw. Further controlled research is needed to strengthen causal inference and refine training recommendations.

Sementara itu, dalam pendidikan formal, orang tua berperan melalui pendampingan belajar, pemenuhan kebutuhan sekolah, komunikasi dengan guru, penanaman nilai moral dan religius, serta kerja sama dengan pihak sekolah. Dengan demikian, peran sosial orang tua pada keluarga nelayan berkontribusi penting dalam mendukung perkembangan karakter, keterampilan sosial, dan keberhasilan pendidikan anak secara menyeluruh. The Social Role of Parents in Children's Education (Case Study of Fishermen's Families in Kuranji Dalang Village, Labuapi District, West Lombok) Abstract This study aims to examine the social role of parents in children’s education among fishing families in Kuranji Dalang Village, Labuapi District, West Lombok Regency, covering informal, non-formal, and formal education. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. The data consisted of primary and secondary data obtained from research subjects and informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that parents’ social role in informal education is carried out through role modeling, habituation, the internalization of character and moral values, and the development of responsibility, discipline, cooperation, and social awareness. In non-formal education, parents play a role by encouraging children to participate in learning activities outside school, developing their social skills, fostering independence, and helping them adapt to their social environment. Meanwhile, in formal education, parents contribute through learning assistance at home, fulfillment of school needs, communication with teachers, the internalization of moral and religious values, and collaboration with schools. Therefore, the social role of parents in fishing families makes an important contribution to supporting children’s character development, social skills, and overall educational success.

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis posisi ekonomi politik Indonesia dalam Global Value Chain (GVC) jasa haji dan umrah, khususnya pasca-implementasi Visi Saudi 2030. Dengan mengadopsi metode kualitatif Neuman dan berlandaskan lensa interdependensi asimetris, studi ini mengupas fenomena yang dikenal sebagai ATM Religi atau kebocoran devisa nasional. Hasil studi mengindikasikan bahwa Indonesia berada di posisi konsumen hilir dan hanya merealisasikan investasi langsung Badan Pengelola Keuangan Haji (BPKH) secara marginal, yaitu 0,24% dari total aset hingga Juni 2025. Hambatan utama upgrading fungsional Indonesia adalah ketidakseimbangan resiprositas dan ketergantungan energi, yang menjadikannya tertinggal dibandingkan model kemandirian aset Tabung Haji Malaysia. Oleh karena itu, studi ini merekomendasikan perlunya "penyambungan ulang" (rewiring) rantai nilai. Hal ini dapat diwujudkan melalui akselerasi investasi langsung BPKH pada aset-aset produktif di Arab Saudi. Selain itu, diplomasi haji Indonesia harus bertransformasi dari sekadar urusan administrasi kuota menjadi diplomasi ekonomi transaksional demi mengamankan kedaulatan ekonomi Indonesia. Kata kunci: Global Value Chain, Value Capture, BPKH, Saudi Vision 2030, Interdependensi Asimetris. Political Economy Analysis of the Global Hajj and Umrah Value Chain: Indonesia’s Value Capture Strategy in Saudi Vision 2030 Abstract This study aims to analyze Indonesia's political economy within the Global Value Chain (GVC) of Hajj and Umrah services, particularly after the implementation of Saudi Vision 2030. Adopting Neuman's qualitative method and based on the lens of asymmetric interdependence, this study examines the phenomenon known as Religious ATM (ATM Religi), or national foreign exchange leakage. The study's results indicate that Indonesia is a downstream consumer and has only realized marginal direct investment from the Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH), amounting to 0.24% of total assets by June 2025. The main obstacles to Indonesia's functional upgrading are reciprocity imbalances and energy dependence, which leave it lagging behind Malaysia's Tabung Haji asset self-sufficiency model. Therefore, this study recommends the need for a "rewiring" of the value chain. This can be achieved through accelerating BPKH's direct investment in productive assets in Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, Indonesian Hajj diplomacy must transform from merely quota administration to transactional economic diplomacy to safeguard Indonesia's economic sovereignty. Keywords: Global Value Chain, Value Capture, BPKH, Saudi Vision 2030, Asymmetric Interdependence

Setelah perang dingin usai dinamika politik di kawasan Timur-Tengah mulai berubah. Hal ini berimplikasi terhadap nilai strategis negara anggota NATO khusunya negara yang berbatasan langsung dengan Uni Soviet salah satunya Turki. Kebijakan politik luar negeri Turki pasca perang dingin secara bertahap berubah terutama pada masa kepemimpinan Perdana Menteri Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Pada awalnya Erdogan mengakomodasi kebijakan para pendahulunya khusunya yang berkaitan dengan hubungan strategis dengan negara barat. Namun pada akhir dekade 2010an kawasan Timur tengah dihantam oleh gerakan revolusi yang memberikan efek domino terhadap stabilitas politik negara Arab yang berujung pada perang sipil. Hal tersebut menjadi salah satu penentu kebijakan politik luar negeri Turki yang mulai mengalami pergeseran dan mulai menerapkan otonomi strategis dalam kebijakan luar negerinya. Artikel ini menjelaskan dinamika politik di kawasan Timur Tengah yang berimplikasi terhadap interaksi Turki dengan negara hegemon seperti Amerika Serikat dan Rusia. . Kata kunci: Separatis Kurdi, Ketahanan Energi, Integritas Kedaulatan, Operasi Militer, Otonomi Regional Strategic Autonomy of Turkey’s Foreign Policy Amid the Competition for Influence between the United States and Russia in the Middle East Abstract After the cold war is over the political dynamic in middle east has changed. This has strategic implication for NATO member countries, especially those who directly border with Soviet Union. Turkish post cold war foreign policy took gradual shifting especially during Erdogan administration. Initially Erdogan accommodate the policies of his predecessors especially those related to strategic relations with western countries. However, in the late 2010s, the Middle East was hit by revolutionary movements that had a domino effect on the political stability of Arab countries that lead to civil war. This became one of the determining factors in Turkey's foreign policy, which began to shift and implement strategic autonomy in its foreign policy. This article explains the political dynamics in the Middle East that have implications for Turkey's interactions with hegemonic powers such as the United States and Russia.

Reward and punishment strategies are widely applied in EFL classrooms to manage student behaviour and enhance motivation, yet their combined motivational dynamics in the context of junior high schools remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate how systematically applied reward and punishment strategies affect students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, habitual behaviour, and learning interest. This study uses a Classroom Action Research design with a mixed approach. Qualitative data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with teachers, while quantitative data were obtained from 33 ninth-grade students using a validated questionnaire to measure students' motivation and learning behaviour. Content validity was confirmed by two expert validators. The results of the questionnaire analysis show that the provision of rewards has a positive impact on students' emotional conditions and learning motivation, with 84.8% of respondents reporting increased happiness and motivation after receiving rewards. In the context of punishment, 57.6% of students reported an improvement in behaviour. Additionally, it is indicated by classroom observations and teacher interviews that student engagement and confidence can be enhanced through direct verbal praise. On the other hand, student behaviour can be managed through the application of fair and constructive punishment, whereby reflection is encouraged rather than fear being instilled. The integration of proportional and education-based reward and punishment strategies has a positive impact on students' learning behaviour and motivation in the EFL classroom environment. These findings suggest that teachers should prioritise non-material rewards and restorative forms of punishment to encourage long-term intrinsic motivation and behavioural development.

Keterbatasan ketersediaan air pada musim tanam kedua (MT 2) menjadi kendala utama budidaya padi di wilayah semi-arid seperti Kabupaten Lombok Tengah. Berbagai teknologi pengelolaan air, seperti Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), embung, dan Internet of Things (IoT), telah dikembangkan, namun umumnya masih dikaji secara terpisah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menyusun model integratif pengelolaan air berbasis AWD–Embung–IoT serta merumuskan implikasi kebijakan untuk mendukung penerapannya pada budidaya padi di wilayah semi-arid. Kajian menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) terhadap artikel yang diperoleh dari Google Scholar melalui Publish or Perish (PoP), ScienceDirect, dan Web of Science pada periode 2020–2025. Proses seleksi mengikuti pedoman PRISMA dan menghasilkan 25 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria sintesis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa AWD dilaporkan mampu menghemat penggunaan air irigasi sebesar 25–70%, embung berperan sebagai penyedia cadangan air selama periode defisit, sedangkan IoT mendukung pemantauan dan pengambilan keputusan irigasi secara real-time. Berdasarkan sintesis literatur, integrasi ketiga komponen tersebut berpotensi membentuk sistem pengelolaan air presisi yang menghubungkan aspek demand, supply, dan control dalam suatu closed-loop adaptive system. Kontribusi utama penelitian ini adalah pengembangan kerangka konseptual demand–supply–control sebagai dasar pengelolaan air presisi pada budidaya padi di wilayah semi-arid. An Integrative Model of Precision Water Management Based on AWD Reservoir IoT for Dryland Rice during the Second Cropping Season: A Systematic Literature Review and Policy Implications in Central Lombok Abstract Limited water availability during the second cropping season (MT 2) is a major constraint to rice production in semi-arid regions such as Central Lombok Regency, Indonesia. Various water management technologies, including Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), farm ponds, and the Internet of Things (IoT), have been developed to improve water-use efficiency; however, these approaches are generally studied separately. This study aimed to develop an integrated AWD–Farm Pond–IoT water management model and formulate policy implications to support its implementation in semi-arid rice production systems. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using articles retrieved from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish (PoP), ScienceDirect, and Web of Science published between 2020 and 2025. The selection process followed PRISMA guidelines and resulted in 25 articles that met the synthesis criteria. The review found that AWD has been reported to reduce irrigation water use by 25–70%, farm ponds function as water storage facilities during deficit periods, and IoT supports real-time monitoring and irrigation decision-making. Based on the literature synthesis, integrating these three components has the potential to establish a precision water management system linking demand, supply, and control within a closed-loop adaptive system. The main contribution of this study is the development of a conceptual demand–supply–control framework as a foundation for precision water management in rice cultivation under semi-arid conditions.

Hipertensi merupakan masalah kesehatan global yang berkontribusi terhadap tingginya morbiditas dan mortalitas serta membutuhkan pengelolaan jangka panjang melalui kemampuan perawatan diri. Rendahnya pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat menjadi salah satu penyebab belum optimalnya pengendalian hipertensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai efektivitas edukasi berbasis media digital berupa video terhadap kemampuan self-care penderita hipertensi di UPTD Puskesmas Gandapura, Kabupaten Bireuen. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pre-eksperimental one-group pretest-posttest. Sebanyak 174 responden dipilih melalui purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Kemampuan self-care diukur menggunakan Hypertension Self-Care Profile. Intervensi berupa video edukasi berdurasi empat menit disampaikan melalui WhatsApp selama periode observasi delapan minggu. Data dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test karena data tidak berdistribusi normal. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor self-care dari 2,32 pada pretest menjadi 3,29 pada posttest. Uji statistik menghasilkan nilai Z sebesar −11,428 dengan p-value 0,000, yang menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Dengan demikian, video edukasi melalui media digital efektif meningkatkan kemampuan self-care penderita hipertensi. Pemanfaatan media digital dapat menjadi strategi promosi kesehatan yang inovatif, mudah diakses, dan berkelanjutan untuk meningkatkan kemandirian pasien serta mencegah komplikasi hipertensi. Strategi ini dapat melengkapi konseling langsung dan mendukung pelayanan hipertensi yang lebih responsif terhadap kebutuhan pasien di tingkat primer. Effectiveness of Digital Media-Based Education in Improving Self-Care Abilities among Patients with Hypertension in Bireuen Regency Abstract Hypertension is a major global health problem that contributes to high morbidity and mortality and requires long-term management through effective self-care. Limited public knowledge and awareness are among the main causes of suboptimal hypertension control. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital media-based education using an educational video in improving self-care among patients with hypertension at Gandapura Public Health Center, Bireuen Regency. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. A total of 174 respondents were selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Self-care ability was measured using the Hypertension Self-Care Profile. The intervention consisted of a four-minute educational video delivered via WhatsApp during an eight-week observation period. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. Because the data were not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was applied. The results showed an increase in the mean self-care score from 2.32 at pretest to 3.29 at posttest. Statistical analysis yielded a Z-value of −11.428 and a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference before and after the intervention. Therefore, educational videos delivered through digital media were effective in improving self-care among patients with hypertension and may support sustainable hypertension management overall.

This research is motivated by the low activity of students in learning Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) in grade VII students of SMPN 8 Banjarbaru which can be seen from the lack of participation, cooperation, courage, and enthusiasm of students during the learning process. Although cooperative learning and play-based approaches have been widely used in physical education, limited classroom action research is still examining how modified invasion play can support increased student activity, cooperation, courage, and enthusiasm in grade VII PJOK learning. This study aims to describe the increase in student activities through the application of the invasion game-based cooperative learning model. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) with 32 research subjects of grade VII SMPN 8 Banjarbaru. The sampling technique uses total sampling. The research instrument is in the form of student activity observation sheets which are compiled based on indicators of student participation, cooperation, courage, and enthusiasm. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation and documentation, while data analysis uses quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study showed a gradual increase in student activity, namely by 57% in the pre-test stage with the sufficient category, increased to 72% in the first cycle with the good category, and reached 85% in the second cycle with the very good category. The findings of the study show that the application of cooperative learning through invasion games supports the improvement of student activities in the observed classroom context. Thus, this learning model can be used as an alternative learning strategy to support the quality of the PJOK learning process.

This research against the background of low student learning outcomes on nutritious food materials shows the need to implement more interesting and meaningful learning strategies. Although audio-visual media has been widely used in learning, classroom action research examining its use in nutritious food materials by integrating problem-based LKPD, group discussions, and collaborative learning activities is still limited. This study aims to describe the improvement of student learning outcomes through the application of learning that utilizes audio-visual media on nutritious food materials. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method which is carried out in two cycles with 25 research subjects in class VIII F SMP Negeri 8 Banjarbaru. Data was collected through learning outcome tests, observation sheets of learning activities, and learning motivation questionnaires. The data was analyzed in a quantitative descriptive manner by calculating the percentage of learning completeness, learning activities, and learning motivation of students in each cycle. The results showed that the learning completion percentage increased from 40% in the pre-cycle, to 68% in the first cycle, and 88% in the second cycle. The average grade point of the class also increased from 71 pre-cycle, to 76 in cycle I and 80 in cycle II. Students' learning activities have increased, which is marked by an increase in the percentage of students in the good and excellent categories from 20% in the pre-cycle to 48% in Cycle I and 80% in Cycle II. Learning motivation as supporting data also increased from 38.00% in pre-cycle to 56.00% in Cycle I and 71.33% in Cycle II.The findings of the study indicate that the use of audio-visual media supported by problem-based LKPD, group discussions, interactive quizzes, and teacher assistance during the learning process contributes to improving students' learning outcomes, motivation, and learning activities on nutritious food materials.
