Adzkia Rizkianisa Awira Siregar — 2025-08-31

Education plays a crucial role in developing the Golden Generation 2045 who excel in literacy and numeracy. Unfortunately, PISA 2018 revealed that Indonesian students' literacy and numeracy skills are still below the OECD countries' average. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) presents a new approach in developing evaluation instruments that not only assess academic abilities but also build sustainable awareness. This research used a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data was analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This article explores the application of ESD concepts in developing literacy and numeracy questions and the obstacles faced by educators. The results of this study indicate that most teachers still have difficulty developing HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) questions with stimuli related to ESD. Therefore, training programs and strategic approaches are needed to help teachers create more contextual questions and encourage students' critical thinking skills.

Cut Salwa Alifia Zahra — 2025-08-31

This study examines lobbying and negotiation strategies within the development of the Waterfront City project in Karangria Beach, Manado City, which sparked conflict between the government and coastal communities.

Nasir Nasir — 2025-08-31

The management of school-owned assets is an important part of education management which aims to support the effectiveness of the learning process. Administration as an administrative implementer has a strategic role in ensuring that school assets are properly recorded, monitored, and reported. This study aims to describe the role of administration in asset management at SMAN 3 Takalar and identify the obstacles faced in its implementation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consist of administrative staff, principals, and teachers.

Strategi Pengelolaan SDM pada UMKM Berbasis Teknologi Digital

Merry Moy Mita — 2025-08-31

This qualitative case study explores human resource management (HRM) strategies implemented by digital-based creative micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Medan, Indonesia. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, the research identifies key themes emerging from thematic analysis. Four major themes were found: (1) recruitment through personal networks, prioritizing trust over formal assessment; (2) informal competency development through learning-by-doing and internal mentoring; (3) adaptive performance management that relies on project outcomes rather than structured evaluation systems; and (4) employee retention strategies based on emotional bonds, flexible working arrangements, and creative freedom. While these approaches reflect the flexibility and interpersonal nature of creative MSMEs, they also reveal limitations, including the absence of structured HR systems, minimal investment in continuous training, and limited financial incentives to retain top talent. These findings indicate that it's necessary to balance the inherent flexibility of creative MSMEs with more systematic HR practices to sustain competitiveness in a rapidly changing digital environment. The study contributes to the literature by contextualizing the Resource-Based View (RBV) and dynamic capabilities theory within the creative MSME sector of a developing country. Practical implications include recommendations for MSME owners, policymakers, and support institutions to design integrated programs that combine technology adoption with human capital capacity building.

Manusia Menurut Teologi John Wesley dalam Membangun Toleransi dan Solidaritas Gereja Methodist Indonesia (GMI) di Wilayah I

Runggu Hutauruk — 2025-08-31

The doctrine of the Imago Dei is a fundamental Christian concept regarding human beings, which can be generally divided into three categories: capacity, function, and relationality, which distinguishes them from other creation. Capacity concerns the inherent abilities of humans, such as reason, emotion, and will. Function concerns humans as social beings and as stewards of themselves, others, and other creations. Relationality addresses the relationship with God as the source of life, both physical and spiritual. In relation to other creations, the Bible teaches that humans are noble creatures, given the image of God and stewardship over nature and other creations. Human dignity and worth are due to the image of God within them. This is a crucial concept for human dignity and human rights. In John Wesley's doctrine, man as the Imago Dei consists of a natural image; a political image; and a moral image. The natural image of God in man includes free will, intellect, and eternity. God gave man free will, but this free will is responsible, unlike the free will of animals, where humans can distinguish between right and wrong while animals cannot. Therefore, human freedom of will demands responsibility. Then, humans are given an intellect that exceeds that of other creations of God on earth. Humans with their intellect (reason) can understand the truth.

Bioelectric Potential of Phaleria Macrocarpa (Mahkota Dewa) Fruit

Refa Rahmaddiansyah — 2025-08-31

The use of electrical energy from year to year is increasing, but the source has limitations. This electrical energy crisis must be addressed immediately, one way of which is using environmentally friendly and renewable fuels. One of the environmentally friendly sources of electricity is the fruit of the mahkota dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa). The purpose of writing this paper is to investigate the benefits of the crown of the gods as an alternative source of electrical energy. The subject of this research is the crown of the god fruit, specifically those that are ripe and marked by a red color, which will be used as an alternative source of electrical energy to replace batteries. In addition to its medicinal properties, the results of this study indicate that the crown of the god fruit contains alkaloid compounds (bases) that can generate electricity. The electric voltage generated by the four pieces of the crown of the god can reach 1.8 V. Meanwhile, the current generated from one crown of the god is minimal and only produces a voltage of 0.9 V. The crown of the gods offers several advantages as a source of electrical energy, along with some disadvantages. Based on the research results regarding the power source from the crown of the god, it can be concluded that the hypothesis stating there are benefits to using the crown of the god as an alternative source of electrical energy is valid.

Histopathological Transformation in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) with Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma (PDTC)

Juli Jamnasi — 2025-08-31

Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a type of thyroid cancer originating from C cells, while Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma (PDTC) is a more aggressive form with poor differentiation. The transformation between these two types can affect prognosis and treatment strategies. This study analyzes an 18-year-old female patient presenting with neck swelling and difficulty swallowing. The initial diagnosis of MTC was established through fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), and after surgical resection, histopathological analysis was conducted to evaluate any transformation to PDTC. Histopathological findings revealed MTC areas with high calcitonin-producing C cells. However, there were also areas exhibiting characteristics of PDTC, including increased mitotic activity, necrosis, and loss of calcitonin expression. This transformation indicates a shift from a more indolent cancer form to a more aggressive one. The transformation from MTC to PDTC in a young patient illustrates the value of careful monitoring and thorough histopathological evaluation. Appropriate management and understanding of these changes are crucial for improving treatment outcomes. Further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying this transformation.
