Abstract

Purpose: designing a small-scale solar power plant system that suits the solar potential in coastal areas to meet the lighting needs of docks and public facilities. Method: this research uses descriptive-quantitative methods through field measurements, engineering calculations, and system design to produce a small-scale solar power plant design that meets the lighting needs of docks and public facilities in coastal areas. Findings: research has found that Kuala Tungkal has significant solar energy potential for solar power plants. A 200 Wp panel produces 730–970 Wh per day, and for a typical home, 16 solar panels and 13 batteries are required. However, weather and cost are significant constraints. Implications: solar power plants have significant development potential in coastal areas and can increase community energy independence. However, they require appropriate design, sufficient batteries, and financial and technological support to address weather and initial investment challenges. Originality: providing field data on solar radiation in Kuala Tungkal, modeling the design of a small-scale solar power plant based on real conditions, and producing practical calculations of panel and battery requirements specifically intended for piers and coastal public facilities, which has not been widely studied before.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of understanding, environment, service, and performance on the interest of ethnic Chinese individuals in using Islamic banking products. Method: The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach. The data consist of primary data obtained through questionnaires and secondary data gathered from literature studies. The population of this study comprises customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia's Selatpanjang Branch Office in Meranti Regency, Riau. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling, with the criterion being active customers of Chinese ethnicity. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regressions, along with validity, reliability, classical assumption, and hypothesis testing. Findings: The results indicate that understanding, service, and performance have a positive effect on the interest of ethnic Chinese individuals in using Islamic banking products, whereas the environment has a negative effect. Implications: Theoretically, the findings of this study complement existing theories and support the Theory of Planned Behavior, Cognitive Theory, and Social Influence Theory. Practically, the results serve as a reference for Islamic banking institutions to improve service quality, performance, and public understanding. Originality: The originality of this research lies in its focus on ethnic Chinese individuals as a non-Muslim group in the context of Islamic banking, the discovery of negative environmental effects, and the development of an integrative model that combines the variables of understanding, environment, service, and performance in relation to interest in using Islamic banking products.

Abstract

Purpose: to present a comprehensive and integrative analysis that explains how evolutionary changes shaped human cognition, behavior, and social complexity. This article examines the historical development of early human evolution as a multidisciplinary inquiry into biological transformation, technological progress, and cultural emergence from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach is used, supported by a systematic literature review, drawing on paleoanthropological findings, the archaeological record, and interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks. Findings: human evolution was not linear but dynamic, influenced by environmental adaptation, migration patterns, controlled fire use, lithic technological innovation, and the development of symbolic thought and language. These findings highlight the gradual emergence of cultural intelligence as a defining feature of modern humans. Implications: understanding human evolutionary pathways provides valuable insights into contemporary scientific discourse on identity, civilisation, and humanity's adaptive characteristics in facing future global challenges. Originality: lies in its integrative synthesis, connecting biological evolution with cultural and cognitive dimensions to offer a holistic perspective rarely emphasised in conventional discussions of human origins.

Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the level of digital literacy among students of the Biology Education Study Program and to examine its implications for technology-based learning. Method: this research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with purposively selected participants. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire covering five dimensions of digital literacy: information, communication, content creation, social-emotional, and problem solving. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics by calculating mean scores and categorizing literacy levels. Findings: the results indicate that students' overall digital literacy was at a moderate level, with high proficiency in the information and social-emotional dimensions, moderate communication and content-creation skills, and very high problem-solving ability, highlighting the need to strengthen academic digital communication and content creation for learning. Implications: this study implies the need for comprehensive digital literacy development of Biology Education students, including communication skills, content creation, and digital information evaluation, as a basis for strengthening the curriculum and technology-based learning to improve the readiness of prospective biology teachers. Originality: lies in the analysis of digital literacy among Biology Education students based on five DigComp dimensions, which are directly linked to the needs of technology-based biology learning, thereby revealing gaps between technical skills, communication abilities, and academic content creation.

Abstract

Purpose: this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the jarimatika "fingermath" method in improving multiplication skills and learning interest in mathematics among third-grade elementary school students. Method: this research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental, one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 17 third-grade students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments of multiplication skills and analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired-samples t-test, and effect size (Cohen's d). Findings: show that the jarimatika method can improve multiplication calculation skills and foster interest and engagement in learning mathematics among third-grade elementary school students. However, the increase in learning outcomes is not yet statistically significant. Implications: this research theoretically strengthens mathematics learning through a concrete approach, while also practically demonstrating that the jarimatika method can increase student activity, interest, and understanding, and can serve as a basis for developing innovative learning media. Originality: lies in the application of the jarimatika method, which simultaneously examines the improvement of multiplication calculation skills and the learning interest of third-grade students in madrasah ibtidaiyah, with a concrete learning approach that is in accordance with the characteristics of the Merdeka Curriculum.
