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.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NURSING WORK EFFICIENCY AT KING FAHAD SPECIALIST HOSPITAL – QASSIM CLUSTER 2026

A, Hanan Saad, Alayed, Alayed, Hasan, Hafizah Che
Abstract: Improving the quality of modern healthcare services largely depends on the effectiveness and efficiency of nursing personnel as the frontline providers of patient care. The complex and high-pressure work environment of specialized&#8230; pecialized hospitals requires nurses to cope with emotional demands, heavy workloads, and rapid decision-making in critical situations. These conditions make emotional intelligence one of the important psychological factors influencing nursing performance quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and nursing work efficiency at King Fahad Specialist Hospital – Qassim Cluster, Saudi Arabia, in 2026. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all active nurses working at King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Qassim Health Cluster. A total of 312 nurses were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Emotional Intelligence Scale and Nursing Work Efficiency Scale, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results revealed that emotional intelligence had a positive and significant effect on nursing work efficiency, with a path coefficient of 0.642, t-statistics of 9.871, and p-value < 0.001. The R-square value of 0.58 indicated that emotional intelligence explained 58% of the variance in nursing work efficiency. Emotional regulation and empathy emerged as the dominant indicators contributing to improved communication quality, clinical decision-making, and patient care effectiveness. This study concludes that emotional intelligence is an important psychological resource in improving nursing work efficiency in specialized hospitals. The findings strengthen the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) Theory and Emotional Intelligence Theory in explaining the relationship between psychological resources and nursing performance. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of nursing management literature and practical contributions for hospitals in designing healthcare human resource development strategies based on psychological well-being.

STRATEGIES TO STRENGTHEN WORK CULTURE THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP AND SERVANT LEADERSHIP IN THE AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY (Case Study on PT. Mitsubishi Electric Automotive Indonesia)

Adityawati, Marlia
Abstract: This study aims to analyze strategies for strengthening work culture through the implementation of ethical leadership and servant leadership at PT. Mitsubishi Electric Automotive Indonesia, and to identify the challenges&#8230; and contributions of these two leadership styles to strengthening work culture in the automotive manufacturing industry. This study used a qualitative approach with a single case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 informants consisting of management level, supervisors, and production line employees. Participatory observation was conducted over three weeks, supported by analysis of company documents. Data analysis used direct interview methods and in-depth observation. The results of the study revealed five main implementation strategies: (1) leaders exemplifying ethical behavior; (2) employee empowerment through delegation of authority; (3) developing two-way communication mechanisms; (4) creating a supportive and family-like work environment; and (5) integrating ethical values into the performance management system. The dimensions of family atmosphere and identification with the leader were identified as key success factors in Indonesia's collectivist cultural context. Key challenges include resistance to change, measuring short-term impact, and consistency amidst production pressures. This study recommends integrating ethical values and servant behavior into recruitment systems, developing ethics-based leadership training programs, and designing performance management systems that balance quantitative targets with ethical behavior assessments. This study is the first to integrate ethical leadership and servant leadership within a framework for strengthening work culture in the automotive manufacturing industry, with specifically case study in PT. Mitsubishi Electric Automotive Indonesia and identifies the family atmosphere dimension as a novel finding within a collectivist cultural context.

CIVIL-MILITARY CORRIDOR RESILIENCE MODEL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA’S OUTERMOST BORDER ISLAND: EVIDENCE FROM MIANGAS ISLAND

G, Brantas Suharyo, Noonphakdee, Thamrongchai, Suksiengsri, Phongpincharn
Abstract: Infrastructure management in outermost border islands is not only a matter of physical development, but also a strategic issue related to sovereignty, community welfare, connectivity and national defence. This article examines&#8230; amines infrastructure management on Miangas Island, one of Indonesia’s northernmost outer islands bordering the Philippines. Although Miangas already has several basic and strategic infrastructures, including roads, an airport, a port, electricity facilities, clean water sources, telecommunications, health facilities and security infrastructure, these assets have not yet functioned as an integrated and reliable system. The main problem is therefore not the absence of infrastructure, but the gap between physical availability and functional performance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach based on field observation, semi-structured interviews and document review. Data were analysed using the Miles and Huberman model, supported by STEEP+M and SWOT analysis. The findings show that infrastructure management in Miangas is influenced by three main indicators: infrastructure availability and quality, connectivity and accessibility, and infrastructure sustainability. Internally, Miangas has strengths in its strategic geography, existing infrastructure assets, state institutional presence, social cohesion and strong national identity. However, these strengths are constrained by weak service quality, limited maintenance, unstable connectivity, a fragile local economy and inadequate maritime surveillance. Externally, Miangas benefits from national legal support, strategic policy status and Indonesia–Philippines cooperation, but faces threats from cross-border dependence, illegal fishing, border violations, environmental pressure and geopolitical sensitivity. The SWOT analysis places Miangas in the WO quadrant, meaning that external opportunities should first be used to overcome internal weaknesses. This article proposes the Civil-Military Corridor Resilience Model as an integrated framework that connects public services, logistics, energy, local markets, maritime security and territorial defence in one border resilience system.

THE EFFECT OF DEEP BREATHING RELAXATION TECHNIQUES ON BLOOD PRESSURE IN THE ELDERLY IN BATE LINTENG AND LAMBUNOT VILLAGES, ACEH BESAR

Rauzatul Jannah, Putra, Yadi, Andriani, Irma
Abstract: Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood pressure on the artery walls, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. This study aimed to determine&#8230; the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on lowering blood pressure in elderly people in Bate Linteng and Lambunot Villages, Aceh Besar. This quantitative study used a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest. The study was conducted from August 26 to August 31, 2024, with a population and sample of 16 elderly respondents with a history of hypertension. Data collection was conducted through observation using an observation sheet and the provision of deep breathing relaxation techniques. The results showed that the average blood pressure before the intervention was 148/90 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.674, while after the intervention, it decreased to 143/87 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.050. The statistical test results using the Paired Sample t-Test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect between deep breathing relaxation techniques and blood pressure reduction. The results of this study are expected to provide information for hypertension sufferers and their families that deep breathing relaxation techniques are a form of non-pharmacological therapy that can be performed independently to control blood pressure.

THE INFLUENCE OF FEAR OF MISSING OUT (FOMO) AND HEDONIC SHOPPING ON IMPULSE BUYING WITH SELF-CONTROL AS A MODERATING VARIABLE AMONG STUDENT SHOPEE USERS (A CASE STUDY OF STUDENTS FROM THE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS, UNIVERSITAS NEGERI GORONTALO, CLASS OF 2022)

Abullah, Aditya Febriansyah, Asnawi, Melan Angriani, Isa, Ramlan Amir
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), hedonic shopping, and self-control on impulse buying among students who use Shopee, as well as to examine the role of self-control as a moderating variable.&#8230; able. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, class of 2022, as respondents. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires distributed through forms and Google Forms. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS and SEM-PLS 4.1 to test the relationships among variables. The results show that Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and hedonic shopping have a positive effect on impulse buying. This indicates that digital social pressure and pleasure-driven motivation are the main factors encouraging students to engage in impulsive purchases. In contrast, self-control does not affect impulse buying, suggesting that students’ ability to regulate themselves is not yet strong enough to reduce impulsive consumption behavior. This condition is influenced by the characteristics of students who do not yet have a stable income, so self-control has not developed optimally in financial management due to the absence of income.

Abstract: This study was conducted to analyse profitability ratios as a measure of financial performance at PT Malindo Feedmill Tbk (MAIN) for the period 2021-2024. The animal feed industry faces challenges of high production costs,&#8230; s, ranging from 85-90%, as well as dependence on unstable imported raw materials. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with purposive sampling techniques on the company's consolidated financial statements. The indicators used to analyse the data include Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). In 2022, net profit fell sharply by 57% to RP 27 billion due to production cost pressures. However, in 2024, the company managed to recover with a net profit of RP 489.8 billion. This unique finding shows an increase in Return on Assets (ROA) of 9.10% in 2024 despite a decline in assets. This shows that management has succeeded in eliminating unproductive assets and optimising production efficiency. The effectiveness of cost transformation and the company's operational resilience to market fluctuations are reflected in a Return on Equity (ROE) of 18.61% at the end of the period.

Ahmad Ardi Zulkarnain, Achmad Muhyidin Arifai, Deni Priansyah
Abstract: This study aims to develop a technically compliant and economically feasible design for a Restricted Security Area (RSA) perimeter fence surrounding Substation 7, the Chiller facility, and the Ground Water Tank (GWT) at&#8230; Kertajati International Airport. These facilities constitute critical operational infrastructure supporting electricity distribution, terminal cooling systems, and water supply, including fire suppression reserves. Field observations identified the absence of a regulation-compliant perimeter protection system, exposing the utility cluster to unauthorized access and operational risk. The research employed a quantitative descriptive–analytical approach integrating field measurement, engineering design modeling, volume computation, and cost estimation based on the 2024 Majalengka Regional Standard Unit Price. Technical evaluation referred to national aviation security regulations and ICAO Annex 17 principles. A BRC (British Reinforced Concrete) fence system with a total height of 3.20 meters (2.40 m fence body and 0.80 m concertina wire) was proposed. The structural configuration includes reinforced concrete isolated footings, tie beams (sloof), and a bottom plinth beam to ensure lateral stability and anti-climb resistance. The total perimeter length of 313.74 meters ensures complete enclosure of the critical facilities. The estimated total project cost amounts to IDR 509,553,000.00, including VAT. The results demonstrate that the proposed design is structurally reliable, regulation-compliant, and economically justified within a risk mitigation framework. The study contributes a replicable engineering and financial planning model for strengthening airport critical infrastructure protection and enhancing long-term operational resilience.
