Danianti, Djuni, Saputra, Ady, Bua, Mety Toding
Abstract: Diagnostic assessment tests for students entering elementary school were conducted once, focusing solely on letter reading. However, teachers did not assess syllable, word, paragraph, or reading comprehension, leading to… ongoing issues in early reading ability among students. This study aimed to describe the early reading ability of the first-grade students at SDN 014 Tarakan through diagnostic assessment in terms of five key aspects: reading letters, reading syllables, reading words, reading paragraphs, and comprehending information from reading. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this study. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings revealed that in the letter reading aspect, 34 out of 55 students were fluent, while 21 were not. In the syllable reading aspect, 27 students were fluent, and 28 were not. In the word reading aspect, 21 students read fluently, while 34 did not. In the paragraph reading aspect, 15 students read fluently, and 40 struggled. In the comprehension aspect, 16 students could understand the content, whereas 39 had difficulties with comprehension. The study also identified several challenges faced by students with reading difficulties. These included poor memorization of letter shapes, frequent errors such as changing, omitting, or misplacing letters, difficulty with long words, limited vocabulary, and lack of concentration while reading.

Pendekatan Feminis terhadap Narasi 2 Samuel 13:1-39 dan Implikasinya terhadap Kekerasan Seksual di Lingkungan Keluarga

Liandra Yolanda Camerling, Alelen Darmas Singerin
Abstract: Sexual violence can occur in any environment, including the family. Most victims of sexual violence are women. One narrative depicting violence in a family context is the story of Tamar and Amnon in 2 Samuel 13:1-39, which… ch is part of King David’s family history. The family, which should be a place of refuge, instead becomes an unsafe place. The patriarchal system that gives power to men and places women in a subordinate position is one of the causes. The text of 2 Samuel 13:1-39 is implied in the modern context because the problem of sexual violence in private spaces such as the home is also experienced by women today. A feminist approach is used to draw out women’s values and analyze the structure of the Davidic Kingdom family, identifying the causes and impacts, and how Tamar, as a woman, faced and overcame the moral crisis and sexual violence she experienced. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a hermeneutic approach, focusing on literature review to discuss related topics. The author found that Tamar, who experienced sexual violence in the family environment, did not receive justice. The cause of violence is the patriarchal system.  Power struggles and invalid laws. Tamar did not remain silent but sought justice for herself by communicating her experiences to the public through religious and social symbolism. Learning from Tamar teaches modern women how to speak out about the injustices they experience.

Rekonstruksi Eksistensi Perempuan melalui Kritik Sastra Feminis terhadap Kidung Agung 3:1-5

Geret Paulus Laritmas
Abstract: The participation of women in various spheres of life has witnessed significant progress; however, it is undeniable that patriarchal culture remains deeply entrenched and continues to reproduce discriminatory practices and… nd violence against women, including through religious interpretation. In many instances, religion inadvertently reinforces gender inequality through scriptural interpretations that are predominantly shaped by male perspectives and patriarchal structures. Therefore, a hermeneutical approach is required, one capable of deconstructing such biases and rearticulating the voices of women in a just manner. This study aims to interpret Song of Songs 3:1-5 through the lens of feminist literary criticism, specifically employing the “woman as reader” approach developed by Elaine Showalter. This approach emphasizes the experiences, voices, and agency of women as subjects within the text. Through the stages of interpretation, narrative deconstruction, and critical evaluation, the analysis reveals that the female character in this passage is portrayed as an autonomous individual who demonstrates initiative and actively expresses her love and longing. This representation subtly challenges patriarchal constructions that traditionally position women as passive objects in gender relations. On the other hand, the text also opens a reflective space to examine how women, consciously or unconsciously, may contribute to the perpetuation of systems that oppress them. Consequently, a feminist reading of Song of Songs not only unveils the emancipatory potential within the biblical text but also offers a critical and transformative hermeneutical framework. This represents an effort to reclaim a gender-just theological space and to reimagine sacred scripture as a site of both spiritual and social struggle toward justice and equality.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OPTIMIZED NEURAL NETWORK AND LARGE-SCALE LANGUAGE MODELS FOR MUSIC GENRE CLASSIFICATION

Marzuqi, Ahmad Naufal Luthfan, Nastiti , Vinna Rahmayanti Setyaning
Abstract: Abstract: The rapid growth of the digital music industry requires accurate music genre classification systems to enhance user experience in streaming services. This study compares a domain-specific Long Short-Term Memory&#8230; (LSTM) network with three Large Language Models (LLMs)—HuBERT, WavLM, and WAV2Vec 2.0—for Music Genre Classification (MGC). The LSTM model was trained using Mel-spectrograms transformed from the GTZAN dataset, while the LLMs were fine-tuned using a smaller set of raw audio samples due to computational constraints. All models were tested on datasets with identical genre labels to ensure a fair evaluation. Results show that the LSTM model achieved the highest accuracy of 97.10%, outperforming HuBERT (86.00%), WavLM (83.00%), and WAV2Vec 2.0 (80.00%). The LSTM demonstrated superior generalization and stability without overfitting, while the LLMs struggled to differentiate between genres with similar acoustic characteristics. These findings indicate that general-purpose pre-trained models, although powerful, are less effective in music-specific tasks due to domain mismatch. Therefore, incorporating music-specific features and architectures remains essential for achieving higher accuracy and reliability in automatic genre classification systems. Keywords: audio large language models; comparative deep learning; music genre classification.   Abstrak: Pertumbuhan industri musik digital yang pesat menuntut sistem klasifikasi genre musik yang akurat untuk meningkatkan pengalaman pengguna dalam layanan streaming. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh perkembangan pesat model pembelajaran mendalam, khususnya jaringan LSTM dan model bahasa berskala besar LLM seperti HuBERT, WavLM, dan WAV2Vec 2.0, yang telah menunjukkan kemampuan representasi audio yang kuat. Tujuan penelitian ini ini membandingkan jaringan Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) khusus domain dengan tiga model Large Language Models (LLM)—HuBERT, WavLM, dan WAV2Vec 2.0—untuk tugas Klasifikasi Genre Musik (MGC). Metode penelitian melibatkan pelatihan LSTM menggunakan data Mel-spectrogram hasil transformasi dari dataset GTZAN, sementara LLM disesuaikan (fine-tuning) menggunakan data audio mentah dalam jumlah lebih kecil karena keterbatasan komputasi. Seluruh model diuji pada dataset dengan label genre yang sama untuk memastikan evaluasi yang adil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model LSTM mencapai akurasi tertinggi sebesar 97,10%, sedangkan model HuBERT, WavLM, dan WAV2Vec 2.0 masing-masing memperoleh 86,00%, 83,00%, dan 80,00%. Model LSTM menunjukkan kemampuan generalisasi yang lebih baik tanpa overfitting, sedangkan model LLM cenderung kesulitan membedakan genre dengan karakteristik akustik yang mirip. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah ketidaksesuaian domain secara signifikan membatasi performa model umum saat diterapkan pada tugas berbasis musik. Oleh karena itu, penggunaan fitur dan arsitektur khusus musik sangat penting dalam membangun sistem klasifikasi genre yang lebih akurat. Kata kunci: klasifikasi genre musik; model bahasa besar; perbandingan pembelajaran mendalam.
