Abstract:Indonesia memiliki potensi energi panas bumi yang sangat besar karena berada pada jalur Cincin Api Pasifik (Ring of Fire). Salah satu daerah yang memiliki potensi tersebut adalah Desa Tawa, Kecamatan Bacan Timur Tengah,…
Kabupaten Halmahera Selatan. Namun, hasil observasi awal menunjukkan bahwa peserta didik di SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa masih memiliki pemahaman yang terbatas mengenai potensi dan pemanfaatan energi panas bumi sebagai sumber energi terbarukan. Selama ini, pembelajaran di sekolah lebih banyak berfokus pada konsep-konsep umum sehingga belum memanfaatkan potensi lokal sebagai sumber belajar yang kontekstual. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan peserta didik belum mampu menghubungkan materi yang dipelajari dengan potensi sumber daya alam yang ada di lingkungan sekitar. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi energi panas bumi, menumbuhkan kepedulian terhadap lingkungan, serta memperkuat pemahaman peserta didik tentang pentingnya energi terbarukan dalam mendukung pembangunan berkelanjutan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 23 Maret 2026 di SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa dengan melibatkan 32 peserta yang terdiri atas 26 siswa dan 6 guru. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif-edukatif melalui tahapan persiapan, penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif, tanya jawab, observasi, dan evaluasi menggunakan angket. Materi yang diberikan mencakup konsep dasar energi panas bumi, potensi panas bumi di Indonesia dan Desa Tawa, manfaat energi panas bumi sebagai energi terbarukan, serta kontribusinya terhadap pelestarian lingkungan dan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan pemahaman peserta didik mengenai potensi energi panas bumi di daerahnya. Peningkatan tersebut terlihat dari partisipasi peserta yang lebih aktif selama diskusi, kemampuan mengaitkan konsep energi terbarukan dengan kondisi lingkungan sekitar, serta tumbuhnya kesadaran untuk menjaga dan memanfaatkan sumber daya alam secara bertanggung jawab. Selain itu, kegiatan ini turut memperkuat pembelajaran kontekstual melalui kolaborasi antara perguruan tinggi dan sekolah dalam mengembangkan pendidikan berbasis potensi lokal. Dengan demikian, sosialisasi energi panas bumi berbasis potensi lokal menjadi salah satu strategi yang efektif untuk meningkatkan literasi energi, memperkuat kepedulian terhadap lingkungan, dan mendukung terwujudnya pembangunan berkelanjutan di kalangan generasi muda.
Indonesia has enormous geothermal energy potential due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. One of the regions with this potential is Tawa Village, East Central Bacan District, South Halmahera Regency. However, preliminary observations revealed that students at SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa had limited understanding of the potential and utilization of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source. Learning activities at the school have primarily focused on general theoretical concepts and have not optimally integrated local potential as a contextual learning resource. Consequently, students have not been able to relate the knowledge acquired in the classroom to the natural resources available in their surrounding environment. This Community Service Program aimed to enhance students' geothermal energy literacy, foster environmental awareness, and strengthen their understanding of the importance of renewable energy in supporting sustainable development. The program was conducted on March 23, 2026, at SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa and involved 32 participants, consisting of 26 students and 6 teachers. The program employed a participatory-educational approach through preparation, material presentation, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, observations, and questionnaire-based evaluations. The learning materials covered the basic concepts of geothermal energy, geothermal potential in Indonesia and Tawa Village, the benefits of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source, and its contribution to environmental conservation and sustainable development. The results demonstrated an improvement in students' knowledge and understanding of the geothermal energy potential in their region. This improvement was reflected in more active participation during discussions, a greater ability to relate renewable energy concepts to their local environment, and increased awareness of the importance of protecting and utilizing natural resources responsibly. Furthermore, the program strengthened contextual learning through collaboration between the university and the school in developing education based on local potential. Therefore, local potential-based geothermal energy outreach can serve as an effective strategy for improving energy literacy, promoting environmental awareness, and supporting sustainable development among young generations.

so raises critical concerns regarding epistemological inequality, technological dependency, and the marginalization of indigenous knowledge systems. This study aims to critically examine digital learning in Ghana through a decolonial perspective by exploring the relationship between artificial intelligence, local knowledge, and future educational transformation. The study employed a qualitative conceptual approach based on critical literature review and decolonial theoretical analysis. Data sources consisted of scholarly articles, academic books, policy reports, and international publications related to digital learning, AI in education, indigenous knowledge systems, and postcolonial educational transformation. The findings reveal that contemporary digital learning systems frequently reproduce colonial epistemologies through linguistic dominance, curriculum standardization, algorithmic bias, and dependency on externally developed technological infrastructures. Indigenous languages and local knowledge systems remain underrepresented within mainstream educational technologies, limiting epistemic inclusivity and cultural relevance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies the transformative potential of culturally responsive AI, multilingual digital learning environments, and indigenous knowledge integration in constructing more equitable educational futures. The study concludes that decolonizing digital learning in Ghana requires the reconstruction of educational technologies grounded in epistemic justice, cultural dignity, local participation, and technological sovereignty. This article contributes to contemporary discussions on decolonial education, ethical AI, and digital transformation within the Global South by positioning digital learning as both a technological and epistemological arena of struggle.

Abstract:The rapid expansion of digital communication technologies has transformed the structure of human interaction within hyperconnected societies. This study examines the emergence of digital intimacy and its implications for…
the decline of authentic human presence in contemporary communication practices. Using a qualitative conceptual approach grounded in communication theory, media ecology, existential philosophy, and critical digital studies, this article explores how social media platforms, algorithmic systems, and virtual interaction reshape intimacy, identity, and relational experience. The findings reveal that hyperconnectivity produces a paradoxical condition in which individuals remain continuously connected yet increasingly experience emotional fragmentation, loneliness, performative communication, and communicative fatigue. The study introduces the concept of “presence erosion” to explain the weakening of embodied interaction and existential closeness caused by excessive technological mediation. Furthermore, the article argues that digital capitalism commodifies emotional expression and social interaction through engagement-driven communication systems that prioritize visibility over authenticity. Although digital technologies provide opportunities for global connectivity and social participation, they simultaneously threaten the depth of human relationships by replacing direct presence with symbolic and algorithmic interaction. This study contributes to global communication scholarship by offering an interdisciplinary theoretical framework for understanding the crisis of presence in digital civilization. Ultimately, the article emphasizes the importance of reconstructing communicative ethics grounded in empathy, attentiveness, and authentic human engagement within increasingly mediated social environments.

e area. This study uses a qualitative approach with strategic case studies to collect data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving five key informants from the Regional Police. The theoretical framework used is Grindle's theory and the concept of institutional capacity building that includes the dimensions of individuals, organizations, and systems. The results showed that the individual dimension had been effective with a good work culture and smooth communication, although some members still felt that they lacked relevant training. In the organizational dimension, the decision-making structure is democratic with strong synergy between the National Police, the community, and the government, but the increase in member participation in decision-making still needs to be considered. In the system dimension, rules and SOPs are clear, but periodic evaluations and internal supervision need to be improved to prevent deviations and increase transparency. The conclusion of this study shows that although many aspects have been effective, there is still room for improvement that can improve the overall performance in the implementation of Operation Mantap Brata Tinombala.

n agenda setting, this study highlights the urgency of understanding its broad influence on democracy and public policy. Journalistic media, which has transformed from a passive information provider to an active opinion shaper, plays a crucial role in this fast-paced and widespread information era. Therefore, a deep understanding of how media shapes political narratives is essential to maintaining the integrity of the democratic process. The methodology used in this research is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves the collection and analysis of data from previously published sources to build a comprehensive understanding of the media's role in politics. This approach allows for the identification of trends, challenges, and the broader impact of media on politics. Additionally, this study employs theoretical analysis by combining Media Dependency Theory and Agenda Setting Theory to examine how public dependence on media and media's power in setting the agenda influence political dynamics. The results of the study indicate that media often leverages its strategic position to direct public opinion, which can significantly impact election outcomes and public policy. The high public dependence on media for information makes the media a powerful tool in shaping the political agenda, often benefiting media owners or specific interest groups. Based on the findings and discussion, this article recommends the need for stricter media oversight and increased media literacy among the public to reduce bias and ensure that the media plays its role as an effective watchdog rather than a biased opinion shaper. These recommendations aim to support policies that promote transparency and integrity in journalism, ensuring that the media can continue to be a pillar of healthy democracy without compromising objectivity or accountability.
