Abstract

Apology expressions play an important role in maintaining interpersonal relationships in Japanese communication. Among the commonly used expressions, sumimasen and gomennasai perform distinct sociopragmatic functions depending on situational context and speaker–listener relationships. However, learners of Japanese often experience difficulty distinguishing the appropriate contexts for using these expressions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the sociopragmatic functions of sumimasen and gomennasai in film dialogue. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using sociopragmatic analysis. The data were collected from the animated film Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou through observation and note-taking techniques. A total of fifteen utterances containing the expressions were identified and analyzed based on their contextual functions. The findings reveal that sumimasen performs two main functions: avoiding conflict and expressing dissatisfaction (two instances) and maintaining attitudinal distance (one instance). Meanwhile, gomennasai appears more frequently and functions as a marker of attitudinal distance (six instances) and as an expression of sincere apology (six instances). These findings suggest that the choice between sumimasen and gomennasai is strongly influenced by interpersonal relationships and emotional context within the narrative interaction.

Abstract

Teaching Factory (TEFA) programs are designed to connect classroom-based vocational education with real market production, positioning polytechnics as hybrid institutional–commercial actors within regional innovation ecosystems. However, sustaining the commercial viability of TEFA products remains a structural challenge. This study investigates the role of brand identity and local cultural values in strengthening customer loyalty toward TEFA products at Politeknik Negeri Jember. Employing a quantitative explanatory design with path analysis on data collected from 215 respondents, the study examines both direct and mediated relationships among brand identity, perceived cultural values, and customer loyalty. The results indicate that brand identity significantly influences customer loyalty directly (β = 0.412, p < 0.01) and indirectly through local cultural values (β = 0.153, p < 0.01), with the model explaining 46.1% of the variance in loyalty. These findings suggest that culturally embedded branding enhances institutional credibility and supports the transition from educational production to sustainable market engagement. The study contributes to the understanding of how branding mechanisms operate within vocational innovation systems and regional knowledge-based economic development contexts.

Abstract

Sexual violence in Indonesia remains a persistent social problem rooted in structural gender inequality, patriarchal norms, and emerging forms of digital violence. This study aims to identify knowledge gaps and evaluate the effectiveness of a capacity-building intervention designed to strengthen women’s organizations in preventing sexual violence and supporting victim-centered responses. The study involved 31 women’s organizations in Klaten Regency, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed to measure participants’ knowledge across four domains: conceptual understanding of sexual violence, recognition of causal factors, victim-friendly prevention and response, and ethical digital campaigning. Data were collected using a structured 20-item questionnaire administered before and after the intervention, and analyzed using descriptive statistical comparison of response proportions. The results indicate notable improvements in several areas. Recognition of structural power imbalance as a cause of sexual violence increased from 77% to 100%, while understanding that physical injury is not a prerequisite for identifying sexual violence rose from 23% to 92%. Participants also demonstrated improved awareness of trauma-informed prevention and the importance of inclusive communication in digital campaigns. However, significant knowledge gaps persisted in recognizing verbal harassment as sexual violence and understanding the ethical implications of using victims’ images in digital advocacy. These findings reveal a persistent knowledge–norm gap, where technical knowledge improved but ethical awareness remained limited. The study highlights the need for multi-phase dialogic interventions that combine knowledge transfer with ethical reflection and cultural norm transformation. It also demonstrates the strategic role of women’s organizations as grassroots actors in collaborative and survivor-centered governance for sexual violence prevention.

Abstract

The wickerwork home industry in Jombang Regency, which utilizes screw pine and bamboo, plays an important role in local employment. However, its development remains constrained by manual production processes and limited marketing strategies. This study aims to examine the implementation of technological automation and the digitalization of promotional efforts in wickerwork home industries using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of identification, planning, action, observation, and evaluation stages. The program involved two home industries, including owners and employees, in adopting simple automation technologies and digital marketing practices. The results indicate that the application of automation technology improved production efficiency and enabled businesses to better meet customer demand. In addition, digital promotion training covering product photography, content creation, and the use of AI tools enhanced marketing reach through social media, contributing to increased national-level demand. This study highlights that integrating automation and digital marketing can strengthen the competitiveness of small-scale industries. However, sustained mentoring and multi-stakeholder support are essential to ensure long-term impact, expand employment opportunities, and promote business sustainability.

Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often face barriers to business growth due to limited access to capital and the increasing reliance on high-interest online lending. This study aims to examine the implementation and impact of a waqf-based halal financing program designed to provide sustainable and interest-free capital for SMEs. The program represents a collaboration between YEWI and Alma Ata University through the GoJariyah platform, which promotes a fair and inclusive sharia-based financial ecosystem. The program was implemented from July 2024 to August 2025 in Yogyakarta using a community-based program design that included needs mapping, outreach, transparent beneficiary selection, and periodic evaluation supported by digital technology and partnerships with local Islamic financial institutions. Through this program, a total of IDR 300 million in productive waqf funds was distributed to 30 selected SMEs. The first year of implementation demonstrated positive outcomes. Beneficiary SMEs experienced an average revenue increase of 10–15%, with several businesses expanding production capacity and creating new employment opportunities. In addition to financial access, participating SMEs also showed improvements in business management practices, readiness for halal certification, and stronger integration into the local halal economic ecosystem. Overall, the findings indicate that waqf-based financing can serve as a practical and impactful model for supporting SME development. The GoJariyah program demonstrates the potential of productive waqf to strengthen small business resilience, reduce dependence on high-interest loans, and contribute to the development of the halal economy.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the high dependence of beneficiaries on social assistance. Beneficiary Families (KPM) face mental, psychological, and social obstacles in achieving post-graduation economic independence, so that financial-based empowerment programs are considered not effective enough. This research aims to understand the role of empowerment counseling in the process of social assistance for graduates, especially in psychosocial, behavioral, and economic aspects, to support the transition process from dependence to sustainable independence. The approach of this study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological analytical framework to understand the subjective experiences of beneficiaries in the local context of Banyumas Regency. Data collection was carried out through active observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to capture the meaning, perception, and process of social assistance as experienced and interpreted by the informants. The research subjects consisted of five social companions at the sub-district level and fifty families of graduation participants from ten communities in Banyumas. Data were analyzed through the process of reduction, classification, and mapping of findings by linking field results to empowerment theory and community counseling practices. The results of the research on social assistance through community empowerment counseling for beneficiary graduates (PKH) in Banyumas indicate that empowerment counseling plays a role in supporting the independence process of participants. This research explicitly highlights women's empowerment in the transition from dependence on social assistance to economic and psychosocial independence, with empowerment counseling as a key element in the process of change. The mentoring approach through socialization, access, partnerships, and independent business development is understood as an effort to increase personal autonomy through strengthening motivation, confidence, and mindset changes. The application of cognitive restructuring techniques, motivational interviewing, support groups, and community support through KUBE and community leaders strengthens the sustainability of the graduation process

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the PRISMA-E’xi learning model—an instructional innovation that integrates a multi-representation approach with the Engineering Design Process (EDP) in a STEM framework—to enhance senior high school students’ creative problem-solving (CPS) skills in physics. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group, the research involved 350 students from five schools representing rural, suburban, and urban regions. Students in the experimental group (n = 175) received instruction using PRISMA-E’xi, while those in the control group (n = 175) experienced conventional teaching. CPS ability was assessed through pre- and posttests aligned with six indicators: objective finding, fact finding, problem finding, idea finding, solution finding, and acceptance finding. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, effect size (Cohen’s d), one-way ANOVA, and MANOVA with prerequisite tests for normality and homogeneity. Results revealed a highly significant improvement in CPS for the experimental group (t(342) = 17.8, p < 0.001) with a large effect size (d = 1.92). One-way ANOVA indicated no significant differences in n-gain across regions (p = 0.707), and MANOVA confirmed a strong multivariate effect of the learning model (Pillai’s Trace = 0.5027, p < 0.001) on all CPS indicators without regional interaction effects. Each instructional syntax of PRISMA-E’xi—problem exploration, representation structuring, investigative reasoning, scientific modelling, model assessment, and adaptive reflection—was found to foster specific CPS indicators, supporting critical and creative thinking as well as adaptive reasoning. Guided reflection, multi-representation analysis, and iterative solution evaluation promoted deep conceptual understanding and transferable problem-solving skills. The findings demonstrate that PRISMA-E’xi is an effective, flexible, and equitable model for improving students’ creative problem solving in physics, independent of geographic context. Despite limitations related to the quasi-experimental design, limited duration, and sample scope, the study provides robust empirical evidence that PRISMA-E’xi can serve as a scalable and innovative framework for 21st-century competency-based science education. Future research should employ randomized or longitudinal designs and explore cross-disciplinary applications to strengthen external validity and long-term impact assessment.

Abstract

Enhancing lecturers’ research productivity is a strategic priority in higher education, particularly in institutions where publication performance is constrained by limited research mapping skills and low bibliometric literacy. This study addresses the need to strengthen lecturers’ ability to identify research trends, position manuscripts strategically, and target reputable journals through a structured bibliometric training model. The community service program aimed to develop and evaluate a participatory bibliometric training framework to improve scientific article writing. Eight lecturers from the Diploma III Mechanical Engineering and Applied Bachelor MICE programs at PNJ PSDKU Demak were selected using purposive sampling, based on their active involvement in research activities and interest in improving publication skills. The training consisted of sequential stages: introduction to bibliometric concepts, systematic data retrieval from Scopus, article screening using PRISMA and PICOS, data visualization with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, and guided manuscript development. Participants’ cognitive improvement was measured using structured pre-test and post-test instruments assessing bibliometric understanding and research mapping skills, administered through an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the normalized gain (N-Gain) method. Results showed a significant increase in participants’ competencies, with N-Gain scores ranging from 0.72 to 0.80, indicating high improvement. The findings demonstrate that integrating bibliometric mapping into academic writing training enhances strategic research awareness beyond technical writing skills. This model reconceptualizes bibliometric tools as pedagogical instruments and provides a practical, replicable framework for improving lecturers’ publication performance and supporting sustainable quality education.

Abstract

The coastal waste problem in Pariaman City, driven by rising plastic volumes, limited infrastructure, and disposal behaviors, threatens ecosystems and the tourism sector and requires coordinated intervention. This community service aims to implement an integrated cleanup with waste sorting and initial processing, while strengthening community capacity and environmental awareness. The “Coastal Clean-Up Campaign” applied a community-based participatory approach through coordinated clean-ups, source-level sorting, and initial composting. A total of 150 participants, including lecturers, students, village officials, and tourism stakeholders, were involved across 200-meter zones, supported by student-led scientific monitoring, before–after documentation, and the handover of bins and sorted waste to village authorities. The results indicate that the program was implemented effectively, with active stakeholder participation, visible environmental improvements, and the collection of 250 kg of sorted plastic and paper, some of which demonstrated economic value. This study presents a practical and replicable participatory model that integrates mass clean-up activities with source control, local governance support, and tourism stakeholder engagement. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening technical capacity, institutional support, periodic monitoring, and circular economy pathways to ensure sustainability. The program also increased environmental awareness and fostered local waste management groups, with outcomes that can support policy development and replication in other coastal tourism areas.
