Hikmat Ramdan, Arfian, Wulandari, Fitri, Fajri, Cholida Nur, Herningtyasari, Gadis, Wulandari, Cok Istri Agung Sri, Situmorang, Lidya Cristina Febriani
Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate: (1) the application of the Community Language Learning (CLL) model on students’ speaking competence, (2) the students’ speaking competence before and after the implementation… ion of the CLL model, and (3) whether there is a significant effect of the CLL model on students’ speaking competence.  The population of this study consisted of 248 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan. Using systematic sampling, a total of 35 students were selected as the sample. This research employed an experimental method. Data were collected through observation and speaking tests, and the results were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed that the application of the CLL model on students’ speaking ability scored 3.6, categorized as “Very Good”. The students’ mean speaking score before the implementation of CLL was 78.51 (“Good”), which increased to 83.42 (“Very Good”) after the treatment. The t-test calculation yielded a t-value of 7.15, which exceeds the critical t-value of 2.03 at a 5% significance level (df = 35). Therefore, it is concluded that there is a statistically significant effect of the Community Language Learning model on students’ speaking competence among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan.

VOLUME GAINS, MARGIN COSTS: PANEL EVIDENCE ON THE COMPOSITION EFFECTS OF A UNIFORM SALES INCENTIVE IN B2B LIGHTING DISTRIBUTION

Syarippudin, Syarippudin, Hasbi, Imanuddin, Hidayat, Agus Maolana
Abstract: Direct incentive programs from a brand manufacturer to a distributor's sales force are uncommon in the Indonesian B2B lighting sector, and their consequences for portfolio composition and distributor profitability have not… ot been empirically tested. This study examines whether a flat 3 percent quarterly bonus, applied uniformly across a portfolio of more than three hundred products spanning a 600-fold price range, produces unintended consequences beyond its stated goal of volume growth. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design is used. The quantitative phase analyses 781 product-quarter observations covering 326 products over eleven quarters from mid-2023 through end-2025. The qualitative phase uses confirmatory interviews with seventeen informants from distributor management and sales teams. The incentive program successfully drives all four sales performance dimensions measured in the study, covering volume growth, revenue share, transaction frequency, and a cumulative growth index, all of which are statistically significant. However, higher-priced products attract significantly fewer transactions per quarter and grow more slowly over time. Seven of eight hypotheses are supported. Qualitative findings confirm that the incentive effect adds to total selling activity rather than redirecting it, but transaction attention consistently concentrates on lower-priced products across the eleven-quarter period. The study extends agency theory to a three-party setting and provides the first panel-level evidence of composition effects from a uniform sales incentive in Indonesian B2B distribution.

HOSPITAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDONESIAN CRIMINAL LAW

Kamri, Andi Khaedhir
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the concept and application of hospital criminal liability in cases of medical malpractice in the Indonesian criminal law system, as well as examine the relationship between the individual responsibility… onsibility of medical personnel and the responsibility of hospital institutions. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study methods and a juridical-normative approach enriched with empirical data. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with legal practitioners, medical personnel, and hospital managers, accompanied by a documentary study of laws and regulations, court rulings, and related literature. The results of the study show that criminal liability in cases of medical malpractice is generally still focused on individual medical personnel as direct perpetrators, while the accountability of hospital institutions has not been optimally applied in criminal law enforcement practices. In addition, it was found that there is a complex relationship between the professional responsibilities of medical personnel and the institutional obligations of hospitals in ensuring health service standards, including aspects of supervision, risk management, and medical service systems. This study concludes that it is necessary to strengthen the concept of corporate criminal liability for hospitals in cases of medical malpractice in order to create legal certainty and more balanced protection for patients, medical personnel, and health service institutions. The findings of this study contribute to the development of health law studies and become a basis for consideration for policymakers in formulating more effective regulations and law enforcement mechanisms.

THE QURAN AND THE DOWRY-GIVING TRADITION: A RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE ANALYSIS

Munadir, Rahmat
Abstract: This study aims to reveal the relationship between the values contained in the Qur'an and the traditional practice of dowry (mahr) giving, viewed from both religious and cultural perspectives. Using a qualitative approach… h based on the textual analysis of Qur'anic verses and in-depth interviews with experts in religious studies and cultural anthropology, this research integrates the frameworks of maqasid al-sharia and cultural anthropology theory to analyze the historical and contemporary transformation of dowry practices. The study also explores the symbolic meaning of dowry, not merely as an obligation but as a form of recognition of women's dignity and rights within the family. Furthermore, it examines the socio-economic factors influencing the amount of dowry and how these factors affect social structures and gender relations within society. In addition, comparisons are made with dowry practices in various other cultures and religions, enabling a deeper understanding of both the unique and shared aspects of universal human values. This comprehensive analysis seeks to provide new insights and a concrete contribution to contemporary discussions on the role of religion in social and cultural life, as well as the challenges of integrating tradition with the needs of modern society. The findings indicate that the practice of dowry giving, as prescribed in the Qur'anic verses, possesses profound normative and strategic values in ensuring justice and social balance within the family structure. Every element of the dowry is not merely symbolic but also embodies meanings that reflect responsibility, respect, and commitment in married life. Over time, the understanding and implementation of this tradition have undergone significant changes, influenced by evolving social, economic, and cultural conditions. This highlights the importance of not only preserving the tradition but also adapting it to meet the demands of contemporary society.

Ismawatie, Emma, Jimat, Resi Tondho, Putri, Arum Kusuma, Kurniawan, Adi
Abstract: Blood group examination is a blood grouping system based on the type of antigen. Examination of blood groups with antisera reagents, namely examination of blood groups with antisera reagents obtained from in vitro supernatant… atant cultures derived from mouse cell immunoglobulin hybridization. Examination of blood type with serum is an examination that uses blood type A as anti-B, blood type B as anti-A, and blood type O as anti-AB. The purpose of this study was to determine the profile of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera reagents and serum slide method. The research method used was descriptive with samples of the ABO system blood group using antisera and serum reagents for 30 respondents using probability sampling technique. The materials used are human blood groups A, B, AB and O and anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB reagents. Data analysis was descriptive in the form of a profile table of the results of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera and serum reagents. The results of the study revealed that the results of blood group A were 7 (23%), blood group B were 7 (23%), blood group AB were 8 (27%), and blood group O were 8 (27%). The results obtained showed that the antisera and serum reagents had differences in the blood group examination results, namely the grade of agglutination produced by the serum was different from that of the antisera. It can be concluded that the results of blood grouping with antisera and serum reagents can be used for blood group examination. However, compared to antisera reagents, the results are better using antisera reagents compared to serum.

SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYSIS OF PANGASIUS (PATIN) FISH USING THE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK (FSCN) APPROACH AND COST-PLUS PRICING IN SAGULING VILLAGE

Maharani, Nadiya, Abdullah, Fadil, Mahyudi S, Indra
Abstract: This study aims to determine the optimal strategy for managing the supply chain of Pangasius (catfish) in Saguling Village, West Bandung Regency. The study applies the Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) approach and Cost Plus… lus Pricing to evaluate supply chain effectiveness and determine appropriate product pricing. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 50 respondents, consisting of fish farmers, middlemen, wholesalers, and market traders. The results indicate that the Pangasius distribution system still involves multiple intermediaries, resulting in relatively weak bargaining power for fish farmers. The distribution process takes approximately 1–2 days and is constrained by limited cold storage facilities, which affects product quality. Cost analysis shows that the cost of production is IDR 20,239.15 per kg, while the ideal selling price is IDR 22,263.06 per kg, with a profit margin of 10%. Improvements in the distribution system, better access to market information, and enhanced logistical support are necessary to increase distribution efficiency and improve farmers’ profitability.

Lathifah, Inayatul, Pamungkas, Joko
Abstract: This study aims to describe the professionalism and roles of shadow teachers in supporting inclusive education services at Butterfly Learning Center (BLC). As an institution dedicated to transitioning children with special… al needs (CSN) into formal schooling, BLC implements an intensive one-to-one accompaniment system. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation of accompaniment activities, and document review. The findings indicate that shadow teachers at BLC fulfill multifunctional roles, including identifying each child's specific needs, designing intervention programmes, developing basic independence skills, and providing evaluations and progress reports to parents and classroom teachers. The professionalism of shadow teachers is demonstrated through their ability to adapt instructional strategies in accordance with each child's concentration level, as well as their physical and cognitive limitations. Furthermore, teachers engage in ongoing collaboration with parents to monitor and evaluate children's progress through regular daily reports. This study concludes that the competence and dedication of shadow teachers are critical factors in the successful transition of children with special needs into broader educational settings. An effective shadow teacher does not only focus on academic readiness, but also place equal emphasis on developing independence as a necessary foundation for children's social integration in the future.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN CHILDREN’S ORAL LANGUAGE LEARNING: A CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW OF TEACHER PRACTICES, PEDAGOGICAL CHALLENGES, AND INSTRUCTIONAL RESPONSES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD AND PRIMARY EDUCATION

Kurnia, F. Devi, Pamungkas, Joko
Abstract: Children’s oral language development is a fundamental component of early literacy, classroom participation, social communication, and later academic achievement. The growing use of digital technologies in early childhood… od and primary education has created new opportunities for supporting children’s speaking, listening, vocabulary development, storytelling, expressive language, and communicative confidence. However, the pedagogical contribution of digital technologies remains dependent on how teachers design, mediate, assess, and respond to children’s language learning. This article presents a conceptual narrative literature review that maps, integrates, and critically describes theoretical perspectives and empirical findings on the use of digital technologies in children’s oral language learning. The review draws on selected Scopus-indexed studies and relevant theoretical literature on sociocultural theory, scaffolding, pedagogical content knowledge, TPACK, digital play, professional vision, and formative assessment. The analysis identifies four major themes: digital technologies as mediational tools, teacher practices in digitally mediated oral language instruction, pedagogical and institutional challenges, and instructional responses for meaningful digital integration. The findings suggest that digital technologies such as video-recorded performance, SMART boards, e-storybooks, digital drama, robotics-based storytelling, language screening applications, and virtual interactions can support oral language development when embedded in active, dialogic, and teacher-mediated pedagogy. The review concludes that a pedagogy-first approach is needed to ensure that digital technologies are used not as isolated tools, but as resources for scaffolding, dialogue, play, feedback, formative assessment, and children’s active language participation.
