One of the influencing factors is nomophobia, which is impulsive behavior. This study aims to examine the influence of impulsive behavior on nomophobic tendencies of students in the pastoral counseling study program at the Kupang State Christian Institute. This research uses quantitative methods. Data collection tools used an impulsive behavior scale using the Impulsiveness Scale Version 11 (BIS-11) and a nomophobia scale using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). The respondents in this study were 89 students in the pastoral counseling study program aged 19 -21 years at the Kupang State Christian Institute. The data analysis technique uses simple linear regression analysis. The results of this study prove that there is a positive and significant influence of impulsive behavior on nomophobic tendencies with an F value = 18.782 and a p value = 0.000 at R Square = 0.401. This means that the effective contribution of the impulsive behavior variable to the tendency to nomophobia is 40.1%, meaning that the higher the impulsive behavior, the greater the tendency to nomophobia.</em></p> Yuliana Nata Fredericksen Victoranto Amseke Copyright (c) 2024 Yuliana Nata, Fredericksen Victoranto Amseke https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 14 2 151 156 10.46880/methoda.Vol14No2.pp151-156 Analisis Kecanduan Menonton YouTube pada Anak Balita Menggunakan Model SEIEdR https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methoda/article/view/2793 <p><em>In contemporary society, YouTube addiction in children under five has become an increasingly troubling problem. The purpose of this study is to solve the addiction problem and provide solutions that can be applied in the workplace. A modified SEIEdR (Suspectible-Exposed-Infected-Education-Recovered) model for YouTube watching addiction behavior is used. Identifying assumptions and parameters, creating mathematical models, finding equilibrium points, calculating the basic reproduction number (R0), conducting model stability analysis, and performing simulations using Maple software are all methodological processes. The main findings show that if R0 &lt; 1, the addictive behavior of watching YouTube will decrease over time and will become endemic. In addition, the individual rate values of active and novice viewers who are educated have a significant effect on reducing the population of novice and active YouTube viewers. These simulation results improve our understanding of the dynamics of YouTube viewing addiction and offer practical solutions to this problem.</em></p> Eko Akbar Sukmana Firmansyah Firmansyah Dedy Juliandri Panjaitan Copyright (c) 2024 Eko Akbar Sukmana, Firmansyah Firmansyah, Dedy Juliandri Panjaitan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 14 2 157 165 10.46880/methoda.Vol14No2.pp157-165 Prediksi Jumlah Produksi Kelapa Sawit di Indonesia Menggunakan Algoritma Backpropagation https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methoda/article/view/2963 <p><em>Indonesia is a country that has advantages in the agricultural sector which has the largest plantation and agricultural areas in ASEAN, one of which is oil palm plantations. Indonesia is one of the largest crude palm oil (CPO) business players in the world. More and more palm oil mills and oil palm land are being converted to oil palm cultivation, because oil palm plantations are more beneficial for farmers and palm oil processors. Palm oil plantations are still trying in several ways to maintain stable market demand, one of which is by increasing palm oil production, because palm oil is the main source of other product derivatives. Palm oil production fluctuates every month, but the ups and downs are caused by many factors, namely climate, rainfall, soil fertility, selling prices, and others. Reduced production has a direct impact on the income of farmers and workers in the sector, which in turn can cause economic instability. Actions are needed to ensure the continuity of this industry, one of which is by making predictions. One prediction technique is the Backpropagation artificial neural network. The prediction model can provide very accurate estimates of palm oil production at the provincial level. By analyzing historical data, this research can identify patterns that can help predict future palm oil production. The urgency lies in the strategic role of palm oil in the Indonesian economy.</em></p> M. Safii Ommi Alfina Copyright (c) 2024 M.

Parents also have an important role in shaping children's morals by not defending children without careful consideration. The implication of this research is the need for cooperation between teachers, parents and the community in creating a positive and inclusive learning environment in order to improve student morality. The contribution of this research lies in further understanding the challenges faced by Civics teachers in certain contexts and the importance of the role of parents in the moral formation of children, which can be the basis for developing more effective moral education strategies in the future.</em></p> Fajar Tri Kesuma Putri Arpani Aprianta Tarigan Ira Safitri Copyright (c) 2024 Fajar Tri Kesuma, Putri Arpani, Aprianta Tarigan, Ira Safitri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 14 2 175 181 10.46880/methoda.Vol14No2.pp175-181 Using Media to Stimulate Babies’ Language Activities Development https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methoda/article/view/3023 <p><em>As the digital age continues to reshape educational paradigms, it is essential to investigate the purposeful integration of media into infants’ lives to enhance language acquisition “Harmonizing Voices” explores how age-appropriate media, such as videos, apps, and interactive content, can complement traditional methods, providing infants with a multi-sensory and engaging platform for language exploration. Today, various strategies are employed to stimulate babies from pregnancy through infancy, with mothers increasingly using media as a tool. This includes playing music during pregnancy and introducing nursery rhymes through media post-birth to create a sensory -rich environment. This study investigates the synergy between the melodic allure of English nursery rhymes and intricate process of a baby’s linguistic development. Digital platforms like YouTube and Netflix offer numerous nursery rhymes, such as Cocomelon and Bebefinn, which are popular among infants. This research aims to evaluate which of these nursery rhymes programs is more effective in stimulating infants and which elicits more positive reactions. Caregivers, educators, and researchers will gain insights into the connections between musicality, language and early cognitive development through this exploration. The study addresses the identification of high quality media content, strategies for joint engagement between caregivers and infants, and the potential impact of media on various facets of language development. By fostering an environment where technology harmonizes with natural language acquisition processes, this research aspires to contribute valuable insights for educators, caregivers, and researchers. The objective of this study is to observe and compare infants’ reactions to two popular nursery rhyme programs, Cocomelon and Bebefinn. The research aims to identify which program stimulates more positive engagement, thereby providing a deeper understanding of infants’ preferences and the effectiveness of media content in early language development.</em></p> Kurnia Ulfa Copyright (c) 2024 Kurnia Ulfa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 14 2 182 188 10.46880/methoda.Vol14No2.pp182-188 Peran Pemerintah Desa dalam Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Lokal di Desa Ujung Serdang Kecamatan Tanjung Morawa https://ejurnal.methodist.ac.id/index.php/methoda/article/view/2929 <p><em>The Ujung Serdang Village Government plays a crucial role in empowering the local community, focusing on economic development and cultural preservation.

Therefore, the state as the highest organization is obliged to provide people's agrarian rights. However, until now, agrarian conflicts still haunt the affected communities. An example is Pakel Village, Banyuwangi, where most of the area is still controlled by the colonial plantation authorities and Perhutani. The conflict, which started in 1993, then re-emerged in 2012 and continued in 2017 until now. Until now there has been no clear solution and the state has not been able to fulfill its promise. Neither legally nor has it been able to provide a protective umbrella that can guarantee the Pakel community. This research aims to analyze conflict and how strategic communication can reduce agrarian disputes in Pakel Village. The research is descriptive qualitative type. Data collection techniques in this research were obtained through literature study or library research through journal research article sources and online news. The research results reveal several stages of strategic communication that can be pursued in the process of reducing agrarian conflict, namely: (1) consolidating internal parties related to conflict resolution; (2) conducting mediation involving all parties involved in the conflict; and (3) involving stakeholders in conflict resolution. Consolidation is a communication process, where all parties are involved in high intensity discussions. The mediation process is also part of the communication strategy in resolving agrarian conflicts. Through this consolidation and mediation, the government as the guarantor of law and justice or what we can call a mediator can map the point of origin of the conflict, the actors involved, the magnitude of the losses, as well as the strategies and tactics for resolving it.</em></p> Muhammad Razali Husni Muhammad Fitrah Sanggoleo Syahrial Doli H.

However, the advantage of the Fourier series is that we can decompose the function into an infinite series containing the sum of sine and cosine terms even though the function cannot be differentiated and has discontinuity at some points. The Fourier series equation of an analytical function is obtained by first finding the values ​​of the Fourier coefficients using analytical integrals.
