Ujung and Kramat are beautiful. between May and June 2023. The factorial randomized block design (RAK) used in this study consisted of two treatment factors symbolized by the symbol A at three levels, namely: A1) half KL (A2) 75% KL and (A3) 100 percent KL. The next factorial is with image P which consists of 3 levels, namely; (P1) is 1 g per liter of water, P2 is 2 g per liter, and P3 is 3 g per liter of water. With the aim of obtaining 9 drugs. Each treatment is repeated several times. The perception information is then investigated using the F test for changes at the 5% level. If the problem is large then proceed with the Duncan test. From the results of the examination and discussions carried out, results were obtained, including: 1). The influence of water pressure has a significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, wet weight, and influences leaf length, leaf area and stem size of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.). 2). Giving Gandasil D at a dose of 3 g/l of water basically increases the number of plants, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, stem size, new weight per plant, and selling weight. 3). The relationship between water stress treatment and use of leaf compost fundamentally affects plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, and wet load in mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) while leaf length, leaf area and cross stem distance do not make a big difference.

Abstract
Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that often attacks the elderly and is the main cause of serious complications such as stroke and kidney failure. One of the prevention strategies recommended by the government is the implementation of CERDIK behavior (Check health, Eliminate cigarette smoke, Be diligent in physical activity, Healthy diet, Get enough rest, and Manage stress). However, not all elderly people implement this behavior optimally. This study aims to determine the factors related to CERDIK behavior in efforts to prevent hypertension in the elderly at the Lubuk Buaya Health Center, Padang City.This research is a quantitative study with a cross sectional design. The population was all elderly people aged 60-74 years and over who visited the Lubuk Buaya Health Center, Padang City with a sample of 96 elderly people selected by accidental sampling. The research was conducted in March-August. Data collection was carried out on 25 Mei – 6 Juni 2025. Data were collected using a questionnaire through direct interviews and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test.The results of the study showed that 45.8% of elderly people had poor CERDIK behavior, 37.5% of elderly people had low levels of knowledge, 47.9% of elderly people had poor access to information and 37.5% of elderly people had poor family support. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge (p = 0.000) and access to information (p = 0.026) with CERDIK behavior. However, there was no relationship between family support and CERDIK behavior (p = 0.669). Knowledge and access to information are factors associated with CERDIK behaviors in preventing hypertension in the elderly. Improved education and the provision of easily accessible health information for families of the elderly are needed as part of promotive interventions at the community health center level.
Abstract:This study explores the cultural practice of fangirling on social media platform X as a space for identity negotiation and communal solidarity in the digital era. Using a digital ethnography approach, data was collected…
through participant observation, in-depth interviews with fans, and a documentary study of the digital footprints of the informants. The results show that fangirling is not merely a form of passive consumption, but rather a communal cultural activity carried out massively and organized through fictitious kinship structures in cyberspace. This phenomenon manifests itself in the form of digital "work culture," such as the ritual of collectively streaming music and mobilizing votes to increase the symbolic capital of the idol group SEVENTEEN on the global stage. This practice confirms a shift in social interaction patterns, where group loyalty is bound by a commitment to the idol's aesthetics and achievements. Anthropologically, this activity creates a new value system that blurs the boundaries between the private space of fans and the digital public space, while simultaneously strengthening the position of social media platform X as a primary locus in the formation of contemporary popular culture.

outh Sulawesi. Using a quantitative explanatory approach and survey method, data were collected from 120 respondents and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. The study examines three leadership styles—transformational, transactional, and distributed—and their impact on teaching quality, institutional governance, student outcomes, and academic services. The findings reveal that all three leadership styles positively affect higher education quality, with transformational leadership having the most significant impact, followed by distributed and transactional styles. These results underscore the importance of visionary and participative leadership in improving institutional performance, particularly in regional universities facing resource and structural limitations. The study contributes theoretically by validating leadership models in a non-Western context and practically by offering insights for leadership development policies. It highlights the need for adaptive leadership strategies tailored to local academic cultures and institutional dynamics to enhance educational quality in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract:The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to visualize the narrative of English-language short stories offers a novel approach to enriching the interpretive and aesthetic dimensions of storytelling. Utilizing BingImage.com…
ngImage.com as an AI-based image generator, textual narratives are transformed into prompts that create visual depictions of each scene. The visuals effectively reflect the mood, emotions, and settings of the story, albeit with some inconsistencies in character depictions across scenes. This exploratory approach examines correlations between narrative and visuals, scene continuity, and aesthetic accuracy. The findings indicate that AI-based visualization can create a more immersive reading experience, enhancing the reader's comprehension through relevant illustrations. This technology also provides creative interpretations that expand the artistic dimensions of short stories. Despite its potential, challenges such as maintaining visual consistency across scenes remain. These findings provide new insights into the integration of digital technology in literary transformation, paving the way for innovative future methodologies.
Abstract:The research takes an insight look into the complicated representation of love, using the short story of The Dumb Man by Sherwood Anderson within the existentialism framework. The deaf and mute protagonist becomes a metaphor…
phor for the universal human condition in his search for love and communication amidst a society that cares less. In his tacit quest for love, Anderson exemplifies an existentialist perspective: Love is not a desire—one feels—but a highly conscious effort to assert one's existence in reality, both freely chosen and constrained by society. This analysis is conducted through qualitative method and explorative approach in unpacking meaning from the narrative, with the contention that hopes for love functions as a central vehicle for self-transformation. It is in this quest for love that this story wrestles through the tension of aloneness with man's need to connect, representative of the complex, intertwined relationship between individual independence and the world outside. Ultimately, through this story, how it unfolds existentialism culminates into the relentless, sometimes painful pursuit of love—thereby bringing out the core role of existentialism in the journey towards self-actualization and insight into the human condition.
