Abstract:This community service program aimed to enhance the English language skills of elementary school students on Tegal Island, Lampung Province, through the implementation of a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach.…
. Limited English proficiency among local children has long hindered effective communication with foreign visitors and restricted opportunities for community-based tourism development. To address this challenge, the program incorporated basic English vocabulary related to the beach environment into interactive activities, such as songs, games, visual aids, and direct exploration of local surroundings. These methods were designed to provide authentic, engaging, and memorable language learning experiences tailored to the learners’ environment. A pre-test and post-test design was employed to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with mean scores rising from 61.36 on the pre-test to 89.73 on the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming that CTL significantly enhanced vocabulary acquisition. The normalized gain (N-Gain) indicated a high level of progress among participants, showing consistent improvement across all learners. Beyond cognitive gains, qualitative observations indicated that students exhibited greater confidence, motivation, and environmental awareness as they linked English lessons to familiar contexts. This program illustrates that CTL offers a practical, low-cost, and highly effective strategy for empowering youth in remote island communities. By contextualizing English instruction in real-life settings, CTL not only fosters academic achievement but also supports community engagement, cultural pride, and sustainable human resource development in rural tourism areas.

long-term blood glucose levels measured by Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This study aimed to explore the relationship between BMI and HbA1c levels in patients at Prima Medika General Hospital, Denpasar. A cross-sectional analytic observational design was employed, involving 30 purposively selected respondents. BMI was calculated from weight and height measurements, while HbA1c levels were assessed using the immunoturbidimetric method. Results showed an even distribution of respondents in the normal and overweight BMI categories (each 46.5%), while 50% had HbA1c levels >8%. However, Pearson correlation analysis indicated no statistically significant relationship between BMI and HbA1c levels (p=0.982; r=-0.004). The study concludes that BMI does not have a linear correlation with HbA1c levels. Other factors such as type and duration of therapy, disease progression, and patient adherence may play a greater role in influencing glycemic control and should be further investigated.

Posttest Design method. The sample in this study were 15 athletes of the Putri Angin Kuantan Singingi Club aged 10-12 years. The instrument in this study was a volleyball underhand passing skill test for ages 10-12 years. Data analysis and testing of research hypotheses using the t-test analysis technique (t-test) using the SPSS 23 program, namely by comparing the mean between the pretest and posttest with the hypothesis acceptance criteria if the t count value is greater than the t table with a significance of 5%. The results showed that: Underhand passing training using a wall as a medium on underhand passing ability in children aged 10-12 years at the Putri Angin Kuantan Singingi Club had a significant effect. These results were proven by data analysis using prerequisite tests and hypothesis testing. The results of the hypothesis testing obtained in the study were t count = 10.614> t table = 2.145 and a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. These results indicate that the t count value is greater than the t table. It can be concluded that there is an effect of underhand passing using wall media on underhand passing ability in children aged 10-12 years at the Putri Angin Kuantan Singingi Club.

cation. As consumer awareness of digital financial services continues to increase, companies are adopting strategies to strengthen user engagement and foster trust. The research highlights the critical role of financial literacy and customer satisfaction in cultivating stronger relationships between users and fintech platforms. The findings indicate that enhancing financial literacy and providing intuitive, user-friendly experiences not only elevate customer satisfaction but also encourage greater user loyalty. In light of the rising demand for informed decision-making and trust in digital financial services, fintech platforms that align with consumer expectations regarding education and service quality are better positioned to build long-term, meaningful relationships with users, thereby promoting sustained engagement and brand loyalty. Furthermore, the paper addresses the potential directions for future research focused on enhancing customer engagement with fintech platforms, particularly in the context of a highly competitive and awareness-driven market.

tative approach with data collection techniques through closed questionnaires. The sample in this study amounted to 100 respondents who were selected randomly. The results of the partial test analysis (t-test) show that self-efficacy has a significant effect on academic stress, with a significance value of 0.001 (p <0.05) and a calculated t value of 3.300 which is greater than the t table of 1.98472. This indicates a positive influence between self-efficacy and academic stress. In addition, the coefficient of determination (R square) value of 0.316 indicates that 31% of the variation in academic stress can be explained by the self-efficacy variable, while the remaining 69% is influenced by other factors outside the study. The normality test using the Monte Carlo approach produced a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.249, which means that the data is normally distributed. Thus, this study confirms the importance of the role of self-efficacy and social support in reducing students' academic stress.

measuring glomerular filtration rate, accurately reflecting kidney function. This study aims to evaluate Cystatin C levels based on gender among patients with kidney function disorders at the Prodia Cibubur clinic laboratory. The research was conducted from February to March 2023 using a descriptive cross-sectional approach. The sample comprised 120 patients with kidney function disorders selected through total sampling. The findings indicate that 16 patients (13.3%) had normal Cystatin C levels, while 104 patients (86.7%) had elevated Cystatin C levels. Notably, among males, 61 individuals (50.8%) tended to exhibit higher Cystatin C levels, suggesting a greater potential for kidney function disorders due to factors such as activity intensity, body mass influence, and hormonal factors.
