ery of literacy greetings to visitors. In practice, greetings are commonly delivered manually or through conventional bells, leading to inconsistency and dependence on staff availability. This study was conducted at the Amir Machmud Library, Ministry of Home Affairs, Jakarta, Indonesia, aiming to design and evaluate a Python-based scheduled audio alarm system for automated literacy greetings. An applied experimental method was employed, including system design, Python script development, scheduling configuration using Windows Task Scheduler, and direct system testing on a library computer connected to ceiling speakers. The system requires initial execution via Command Prompt (CMD) when the computer is powered on, after which it operates automatically according to predefined schedules. Testing results demonstrate that the system performs scheduled audio playback accurately and operates stably without further manual intervention. The findings indicate that the proposed system provides a practical and efficient solution to enhance service consistency and support a structured and conducive literacy environment in the library.

Abstrak: Perpustakaan tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai pusat informasi, tetapi juga sebagai ruang literasi yang memerlukan suasana layanan yang tertib dan komunikatif. Salah satu bentuk dukungan layanan tersebut adalah penyampaian sapaan literasi kepada pengunjung. Dalam praktiknya, penyampaian sapaan masih dilakukan secara manual atau menggunakan bel konvensional sehingga kurang konsisten dan bergantung pada petugas. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Perpustakaan Amir Machmud, Kementerian Dalam Negeri, Jakarta, Indonesia, dengan tujuan merancang dan menguji sistem alarm audio terjadwal berbasis Python sebagai media penyampaian sapaan literasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental terapan melalui tahapan perancangan sistem, pengembangan skrip Python, konfigurasi penjadwalan menggunakan Windows Task Scheduler, serta pengujian langsung pada komputer perpustakaan yang terhubung dengan speaker plafon. Sistem bekerja dengan mekanisme inisialisasi awal melalui Command Prompt (CMD) saat komputer dinyalakan, kemudian selanjutnya berjalan otomatis sesuai jadwal yang telah ditentukan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem mampu memutar audio secara konsisten dan stabil pada waktu yang telah diatur tanpa intervensi lanjutan dari petugas. Dengan demikian, sistem ini dapat menjadi solusi sederhana dan efisien untuk mendukung terciptanya suasana literasi yang lebih terstruktur dan kondusif di lingkungan perpustakaan.
Kata kunci: alarm audio terjadwal; otomasi perpustakaan; python; sapaan literasi.
Abstract:This study investigates the communicative practices of youth volunteers involved in Surabaya’s Kelurahan Bersinar anti-drug initiative, highlighting the role of grassroots messaging in shaping public health discourse. Grounded…
Grounded in framing theory, narrative theory, and social capital theory, the research explores how volunteers construct persuasive anti-drug messages through culturally rooted storytelling, emotional framing, and symbolic communication. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, focus groups, observations, and campaign materials with 18 youth volunteers. The findings reveal that volunteers effectively used personal experiences and local narratives to foster trust and collective identity, transforming individual challenges into shared stories of hope and resistance. Emotional strategies, such as gain-framed and fear-based appeals, were deliberately crafted to trigger empathy and promote behavioral change. Volunteers also capitalized on their deep integration within community networks to enhance message credibility and reach, cultivating both bonding and bridging social capital. The study challenges top-down approaches in health campaigns, illustrating the power of peer-led, culturally resonant communication. It contributes a layered communication model for grassroots health advocacy and underscores the transformative impact of narrative-driven volunteer engagement. The study recommends integrating cultural framing in training programs and exploring digital channels to scale grassroots messaging in future research.

pertinent research articles and scholarly publications. The results show the importance of English language instruction in schools and the widespread use of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach because of its efficiency in the teaching and learning process. The CLT method helps students improve their communication abilities by inspiring them to see English as a useful instrument for efficient conversation. The communicative approach, or communative language teaching (CLT), involves teaching language through communication. This type of language instruction positions communication as both a purpose and a means of learning English. The improvement of students' communication and interpersonal skills is a priority in communicative language instruction. Through contact between students and between students and teachers, it is made sure that students are capable of speaking clearly and confidently in real-life circumstances. CLT fundamentally seeks to have pupils learn a new language by having them to interact with others in that language.

Abstract:This study investigates the rhetorical and discourse functions of repetition in the English translation of Surah Al-Mursalat by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem, focusing on the refrain “Woe on that Day to those who denied the truth.”…
h.” Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in stylistics and discourse analysis, the study explores how this fixed phrase, repeated ten times across the chapter, operates at multiple linguistic levels. The analysis reveals that the refrain serves three interrelated functions: stylistically, it foregrounds divine warning and creates rhythmic cohesion; structurally, it segments the surah into thematic units and signals discourse boundaries; rhetorically, it intensifies condemnation and engages the reader emotionally through cumulative repetition. Abdel Haleem’s consistent rendering of the refrain retains these functions effectively, unlike other translations that introduce lexical variation. The findings demonstrate that repetition in Qur’anic translation is not merely ornamental but performs essential linguistic and communicative roles. This study contributes to Qur’anic stylistics, translation studies, and discourse analysis by showing that sacred texts, when translated with rhetorical sensitivity, can preserve the stylistic integrity of the original.
