Abstract

The Laboratory and Workshop Information System named SIABEL at Politeknik Negeri Madura has been operational since January 2024, providing five core modules: Catalogue, Usage, Procurement, Inventory Verification, and Reporting. Despite more than one year of operation, active adoption remains at approximately 40% of institutional laboratory and workshop units. This study evaluates the factors influencing system adoption using the HOT-fit (Human, Organization, Technology–fit) framework, identifies functional and structural gaps, and proposes a phased system development plan grounded in evaluation findings. Data were collected via a structured five-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 119 respondents across four role groups — Students (74.8%), Laboratory Technicians (10.9%), Laboratory and Workshop Heads (8.4%), and Supervising Lecturers (5.9%) — drawn from four academic departments. The 44-item instrument was confirmed valid (r = 0.793–0.921) and reliable across all nine HOT-fit constructs (Cronbach's ? = 0.901–0.937). Descriptive analysis shows all constructs scored in the Good category (overall means 3.74–3.83), establishing that the adoption gap is not attributable to system quality failure but to three structural conditions: a configuration mismatch between the system and the Department of Health's laboratory workflows, functional gaps that reduce the net benefit perceived by Laboratory Technicians, and weak institutional governance. A 14-initiative, three-phase development plan is proposed, prioritizing a health laboratory configuration module, an automated notification engine, and a structured onboarding program as immediate interventions.

Abstract

Birds (avifauna) play an essential role in maintaining ecosystem balance as seed dispersers, insect predators, and pollinators. However, anthropogenic pressures in production forests threaten their habitats, including in Aceh Besar Regency. This study aims to assess avifaunal diversity, conservation status, and ecological roles in production forest areas. This study was conducted in Kota Jantho, Kuta Cot Glie, and Seulimum at elevations ranging from 250 to 1,700 meters above sea level. Observations were carried out using the line transect method across 10 transects (30 plots, 50 × 50 m). Avifaunal diversity was analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H’), while conservation status referred to the IUCN Red List (2025) and Indonesian regulation (Permen LHK No. P.106/2018). The results recorded 26 bird species, consisting of 22 species categorized as Least Concern (LC) and 1 species as Vulnerable (VU), while 3 species are listed as nationally protected. The diversity index indicated a moderate level of diversity. The presence of frugivorous, insectivorous, and nectarivorous birds highlights their ecological roles in forest regeneration, pest control, and pollination. Lower species richness compared to conservation areas is likely associated with habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic pressures such as shifting cultivation and illegal logging. These findings indicate that production forests still function as important habitats, although they are under ecological pressure. Conservation strategies should include community-based monitoring, biodiversity-based spatial planning, law enforcement, and environmental education.

Abstract

This study examines the knowledge of constellations and cardinal directions among the Malay coastal community in Medan as part of a traditional knowledge system (Ilmu Falak) used in maritime activities and sea-based livelihoods, particularly in the context of climate change. Drawing upon the cultural framework proposed by Koentjaraningrat, Ilmu Falak is understood as an element of a knowledge system transmitted across generations and serving both practical and symbolic functions. The Malay astronomical tradition is historically connected to the development of Islamic astronomy, which flourished during the era of scholars such as Al-Khwarizmi, Al-Farghani, and Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, and was documented in classical manuscripts such as Sulalatus Salatin. This research employs a qualitative method with historical and ethnographic approaches through literature studies, interviews with coastal fishermen in Medan, and comparison with contemporary meteorological data. The findings show that Malay coastal communities utilize the positions of constellations, seasonal wind directions, lunar phases, and natural signs as guides for navigation and weather prediction. However, shifts in seasonal patterns caused by global climate change have affected the accuracy of several traditional indicators. Nevertheless, Malay astronomical knowledge still possesses adaptive value, particularly when integrated with modern scientific data. This study emphasizes that Malay Ilmu Falak is not merely a cultural heritage but also a form of ecological wisdom that remains relevant in contemporary contexts. The integration of local knowledge and modern science is essential to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities facing increasingly unpredictable climate dynamics.
