Abstract

This study aims to analyze the madrasah management strategies in overcoming the adaptation challenges of transfer students at MI Hijriyah 2 Palembang, to describe the supporting and inhibiting factors of the adaptation process, and to explain the roles of madrasah leadership, teachers, and the school environment in accelerating the students' academic, social, and religious integration. School transfers cause psychological stress, differences in learning cultures, and academic ability gaps that require systematic managerial handling. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the madrasah principal, homeroom teachers, religious education teachers, and transfer students. Data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation. The results indicate that the adaptation management strategies for transfer students at MI Hijriyah 2 Palembang are implemented through orientation programs, differentiated learning, individual mentoring, peer support, religious habituation, and consistent institutional coordination. These strategies are able to create a sense of psychological security, increase academic participation, strengthen social integration, and foster the students' religious discipline. The main supporting factors include adaptive madrasah leadership, an inclusive school culture, humanistic teacher involvement, and a safe learning environment. Inhibiting factors encompass differences in students' initial abilities, emotional anxiety, limited teacher mentoring time, and adjustments to the school's religious culture. Overall, structured adaptation management has proven effective in facilitating the transformation of transfer students from a phase of alienation to active involvement in madrasah life

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the differentiated learning approach on EFL students’ vocabulary acquisition at the junior high school level. Vocabulary is a fundamental component of language learning; however, many EFL students still experience difficulties due to differences in readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. Although differentiated learning has been widely discussed in previous studies, its empirical implementation in improving vocabulary acquisition in junior high school EFL contexts remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether the differentiated learning approach significantly affects students’ vocabulary acquisition. This study employed a quantitative method using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The population consisted of all ninth-grade students at UPT SMPN 3 Kelara, and the sample was selected through purposive sampling, involving two classes as the experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using statistical tests to measure the differences between groups. The findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvement compared to the control group. The mean score of the experimental group increased substantially from 30.71 in the pre-test to 65.95 in the post-test, indicating the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students’ vocabulary acquisition. In conclusion, the differentiated learning approach significantly improves EFL students’ vocabulary acquisition and provides an effective alternative to conventional teaching methods in promoting student-centered learning at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the world’s largest palm oil producer, generates significant quantities of oil palm frond (OPF) biomass that remain underutilized. This study evaluates the technical characteristics and economic feasibility of converting OPF into energy products in the form of chips and pellets. Laboratory analyses including proximate, ultimate, and calorific value tests were conducted to assess fuel quality, followed by a techno-economic evaluation using a 15-year investment horizon and an 11% discount rate. Results show that pelletization improves fuel properties, particularly by reducing moisture content and increasing calorific value under actual conditions. The higher heating value (HHV) of pellets reached 3,962 kcal/kg under air-dry conditions, compared to 1,746 kcal/kg for chips. On a dry ash-free basis, the calorific values of both products were comparable, indicating that moisture content significantly influences actual energy performance. Economic analysis indicates that pellet production under coal price equivalence schemes does not achieve attractive financial returns, with internal rates of return (IRR) below the discount rate and payback periods exceeding project lifetime. Sensitivity analysis suggests that a selling price of Rp1,000,000 per ton or a calorific value above 5,300 kcal/kg is required to reach financial feasibility. In contrast, chip production with low calorific value is economically unviable; however, improving chip quality to 4,060 kcal/kg results in a financially feasible scenario, achieving an IRR of 32.3% and payback within four years. The findings highlight that product form, energy quality, and market pricing mechanisms critically determine the viability of OPF-based bioenergy development.

Abstract

This study evaluates the feasibility of using three mining-related waste materials, namely tailings, steel slag, and fly ash, as alternative raw materials for environmentally friendly construction products. Although these wastes have been widely examined in previous studies, comparative experimental evidence under a unified testing scheme remains limited, particularly in the Indonesian construction context where material variability and standardization constraints affect field adoption. The novelty of this study lies in positioning the three waste types within the same performance framework by examining compressive strength, water absorption, and corrosion-related durability indicators against a conventional control mixture. Laboratory tests were conducted using a screening-scale experimental design. Compressive strength testing followed the principle of ASTM C39/C39M, water absorption testing followed ASTM C642, and corrosion-related mass/thickness loss evaluation was adapted from laboratory immersion corrosion principles. The results indicate that slag-based specimens showed the highest performance among the waste-based materials, with 28-day compressive strength of 42.1 MPa and water absorption of 3.7%. Fly ash-based specimens reached 36.5 MPa but showed higher water absorption of 6.8%, while tailing-based specimens reached 34.0 MPa with 4.7% water absorption. Compared with the conventional control specimen, the slag-based material achieved approximately 93.6% of the control compressive strength, suggesting its technical potential for selected construction applications after durability and environmental safety validation. The study contributes a comparative performance map and a methodological basis for further optimization of mining waste utilization in sustainable construction materials.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a local-digital business communication model for traditional culinary SMEs in Kualuh, North Labuhanbatu Regency. The study examines how local-based business communication practices are implemented and how digital communication is understood and utilized by culinary entrepreneurs in supporting business competitiveness. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-applied method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving three culinary SMEs, namely Pak Gunawan Restaurant, Kualuh Specialty Restaurant, and Zahira Restaurant. The findings indicate that business communication practices are still dominated by direct interpersonal communication that emphasizes local wisdom values such as friendliness, politeness, hospitality, and quality service. Promotional activities mainly rely on word-of-mouth communication, which remains effective in building customer trust and loyalty. However, the utilization of digital media for business communication and promotion has not yet been optimized due to limited digital literacy and the persistence of conventional communication practices. This study formulates a local-digital business communication model that integrates interpersonal communication based on local cultural values with digital media utilization as a strategy to strengthen competitiveness and maintain the cultural identity of local culinary businesses. The study contributes practically by providing an adaptive communication framework for culinary SMEs in developing market reach without neglecting local wisdom values.

Abstract

This study analyzes the spatial distribution, ecosystem dynamics, and development challenges of the creative economy sector in Magelang City using a geospatial approach. GIS, spatial cluster analysis, and the pentahelix framework were employed to examine the relationships among spatial concentration, accessibility, digital transformation, and regional competitiveness. Data were collected from 170 creative economy actors through surveys, interviews, and field observations, while spatial analysis was conducted using ArcGIS 10.8. The results show that creative economy activities are concentrated in several urban clusters, particularly in Potrobangsan, Magelang, and Kramat Utara, supported by better accessibility, infrastructure, and market connectivity. Culinary, craft, and fashion subsectors remain dominant, whereas digital-based subsectors continue to develop more slowly due to limited digital capacity and a less-developed innovation ecosystem. The study also identifies spatial disparities in digitalization, collaboration networks, business performance, and government support across regions. These findings highlight the importance of spatially informed policies, including creative hubs, digital incubation programs, and place-based development strategies, to strengthen sustainable regional competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the utilization of Instagram social media by Perumda Tirtanadi in public communication with the community in North Sumatra. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation of the Instagram account @tirtanadiprovsu, and documentation. The informants consisted of internal parties directly involved in managing Perumda Tirtanadi’s social media. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model and validated through source and method triangulation. The analysis applied Pierre Levy’s New Media Theory, particularly the aspects of social interaction and social integration. The results show that Instagram is utilized as a medium for delivering public information and facilitating two-way communication through comment features and direct messages (DM). Instagram is also used to build closer relationships with the community through the publication of service activities and social programs. However, several challenges remain, including inconsistencies in interaction management across branch accounts and the need to improve the visual quality of digital communication content. This study indicates that social media plays an important role in supporting public communication in public service institutions in the digital era.
