This research aims to design a prototype of a landslide early warning device based on mechanical motion with an automatic displacement detector. The displacement of the soil pulls the rope and rotates the spool connected to the rotary encoder. The encoder pulse is processed by ESP32 into a linear displacement, displayed on a 16 × 2 I2C LCD, and used to activate the buzzer. The moisture sensor and MPU6050 function as supporting parameters. Seepage observations for 10 minutes produce a final value of 52 mm in loose soil, 28 mm in white or chalky soil, and 16 mm in clay. The system divides the prototype displacement range into Safe, Alert, Standby, and Caution from less than 1 mm to at least 9 mm. These thresholds have not yet become field hazard standards and still require calibration, documented repeated testing, and validation on actual slopes. The research methods include literature study, design, construction, programming, and testing on loose soil, clay, and white or chalky soil. The prototype uses a multi-level glass container measuring 85 cm × 35 cm × 60 cm with a media slope of 18.4°. The research results in a mechanical-electronic system designed to classify conditions based on shift values, ranging from safe, alert, standby, to caution. At the prototype scale, the warning range is set from shifts below 1 mm to at least 9 mm, with a continuously active buzzer at Warning III level. This threshold value is the prototype's operational threshold and still requires calibration and field testing before being used on actual slope conditions. This tool is expected to be an affordable alternative early warning system to help increase community awareness in landslide-prone areas.

Ethnomathematics research requires research instruments that can accurately describe cultural phenomena while generating valid data. Instruments with insufficient validity may produce biased information and consequently affect the quality of research findings. This highlights content validity as a crucial stage before an instrument is used for data collection. This study aims to describe the application of Aiken’s V method in assessing the content validity of research instruments developed for an ethnomathematics study on data and probability concepts in Buddhist temple tourism sites in Klaten Regency, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative–qualitative approach in which the analyses were conducted sequentially and interpreted jointly. Quantitative data were analyzed using Aiken’s V method, while qualitative data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative analysis. The research object consisted of four research instruments: an ethnomathematics interview guide, a data and probability interview guide, an ethnomathematics observation guide, and a data and probability observation guide. The instruments were evaluated by three expert validators with expertise in mathematics education, statistics, and ethnomathematics. The validation process used a five-point Likert scale covering relevance to the research objectives, alignment with the instrument blueprint, language appropriateness, clarity of wording, and suitability to the ethnomathematics context and the concepts of data and probability. Content validity was measured using Aiken’s V index for each instrument item. In addition to the quantitative analysis, the validators’ comments and suggestions were analyzed descriptively to provide a basis for revising the instruments. The application of Aiken’s V method provided objective information regarding the validity level of each item and identified parts of the instruments that required refinement. The results showed that, overall, the research instruments achieved content validity ranging from valid to highly valid. The qualitative analysis further revealed that all three validators consistently recommended revising several abstract terms, such as acquisition, accumulation, epistemological, and historical, into more operational indicators that would be easier for informants to understand. Therefore, the validation results indicate that the research instruments are suitable for use in ethnomathematics research after refinement of the item wording, thereby improving data credibility and the quality of research findings.

The increasingly complex phenomenon of fraud in the banking sector requires effective and sustainable prevention measures. This study aims to describe the implementation of a whistleblowing system at Bank Jabar Banten Syariah (BJBS) Pelajar Pejuang Branch Office in Bandung, analyze its role in building a culture of transparency and preventing fraud, identify obstacles encountered, and provide recommendations for optimizing the system. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data obtained through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and internal documentation review. The findings show that the whistleblowing system has been implemented through various official reporting channels and has contributed to increased ethical awareness and the formation of a culture of transparency. However, its effectiveness is still hampered by a lack of socialization, a culture of hesitation, and limited protection for whistleblowers. The research recommendations emphasize the need to strengthen socialization, utilize more secure digital technology, and ensure management commitment to strengthening whistleblower protection so that the system can function optimally as a governance and fraud prevention instrument.

Social media functions as a medium for information dissemination and networking while also impacting interpersonal communication in real life. The phenomenon of social media use contributes to individual perceptions and has implications for offline interpersonal communication patterns This study aims to describe the role of social media use and its impact in offline interpersonal communication based on usage intensity, ease of communication, interaction quality, relationship closeness, and the impact on face-to-face communication. A descriptive qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing data collection methods that included a literature review and non-participant observation. The findings indicate that instant messaging platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram) tend to foster strong ties through in-depth dialogue and practical coordination. Visual and entertainment-oriented platforms (e.g., Instagram, TikTok) result on or weak ties because encourage superficial and performative interactions aimed at digital identity curation. In offline interpersonal communication, social media acts as a double-edged sword. It facilitates the initiation of physical meetings, but excessive use triggers phubbing behavior which degrades the quality, empathy, and non-verbal cues associated with face-to-face interaction. The study concludes that the effectiveness of social media in supporting offline interpersonal communication depends heavily on self-control and an individual's ability to balance their online and offline presence.

The system was developed to improve cutting accuracy and efficiency compared to the manual method currently used by PT. PLN (Persero), Bogor Barat Customer Service Unit. The device utilizes a Delta DVP14SS211R PLC as the main controller, a DOP-103BQ HMI for inputting the cutting length, a proximity sensor to detect cable movement, and a pneumatic actuator for the cutting mechanism. The test results show that the automatic cutting system provides better accuracy than the manual method. For a target length of 1600 cm, the automatic system produced an average cut length of 1640 cm (+2.5% deviation), while the manual method produced 1680 cm (+5% deviation). Thus, the automatic system reduced material waste by 2.5%. In terms of processing time, the automatic cutting process required 800 seconds for 1600 cm and 2177 seconds for 3200 cm, whereas the manual method required only 10 seconds and 20 seconds, making the automatic process 78–105 times slower. Electrical energy consumption, calculated using the formula W = V × I × t ranged from 740,960–769,120 Joules (0.206–0.214 Wh) for 1600 cm and 2,016,337–2,092,968 Joules (0.560–0.581 Wh) for 3200 cm.

Essential oil distillation is one of the local economic activities developed by the Bunga Tani Group in Wayame Village, Ambon City, Maluku. However, the group still faces challenges in optimizing local resources, developing value-added products, utilizing distillation by-products, strengthening institutional capacity, and expanding market access. This study aims to analyze the local potential-based community empowerment model implemented through the Atsiri Duskar Wangi Program, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative of Pertamina Patra Niaga Integrated Terminal (IT) Wayame. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and document review. The results indicate that the empowerment process strengthened the group’s existing assets and capacities through capacity development, product diversification, supporting production facilities, by-product utilization, institutional strengthening, market access development, and monitoring and evaluation. The intervention increased production capacity from 200 kg to 515 kg per production cycle and increased group income from approximately IDR 24,000,000 to IDR 55,000,000 per production cycle. The program also supported the development of derivative products and the conversion of distillation by-products into compost fertilizer. These findings demonstrate that an integrated, asset-based empowerment approach implemented through a corporate CSR program can enhance the economic value of local resources while strengthening community self-reliance and sustainable livelihoods.
