improving the quality of education today. The process of integrating Powtoon learning media with a sense of responsibility in Gen Z students requires a comprehensive effort, considering that the assessment indicators for this attitude are crucial for learners in the modern era. Gen Z students (born 1997-2012) are digital natives who are pragmatic, creative, and highly dependent on technology for learning and personal branding. They favor visual-interactive methods, care about mental health/the environment, and focus on practical career outcomes (side hustles), but are prone to distraction and anxiety. Meanwhile, types of student attitude assessments generally include direct observation by lecturers, self-assessment, peer assessment, and daily journal entries. Aspects assessed include discipline, responsibility, honesty, cooperation, politeness, and initiative. This technique often uses a Likert scale or descriptive rubric. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to these items in the learning process at university. Powtoon is a web-based online animation and presentation creation platform that allows users to create engaging visual content, such as explainer videos, without requiring advanced graphic design skills. This application uses drag-and-drop features, ready-to-use templates, animated characters, and is supported by AI-based tools. This research uses a descriptive method, namely a research approach that aims to describe, explain, or map the characteristics of a phenomenon, situation, or population systematically, factually, and accurately based on data collected during the study. The results show the successful integration of Powtoon learning media with the responsible attitude of Gen Z students, evidenced by the existence of an orderly, understandable learning process and a high quality of understanding.
Abstract:This study analyzes the phenomenon of homophone pyramid language in the Lani Tribe of Papua Pegunungan, revealing that homophones in the Lani language are not merely linguistic coincidences but embody unique phonological…
patterns and semantic variations deeply connected to the tribe’s cultural and environmental context. Through descriptive linguistic analysis and field-based data collection, the study identifies several instances of lexical homophony such as tu (“door” / “road”), mayu (“rain” / “salt”), nengge (“eat” / “drink”), ngilu (“cucumber” / “snack”), eyo (“tree” / “barren”), kolee (“leader” / “older man”), abila (“pregnant” / “fat man”), and anuka (“head” / “Anuak tribe”). These examples demonstrate that meaning in the Lani language is primarily determined by contextual cues and pragmatic usage. The findings suggest that homophones in Lani function as linguistic features and cultural expressions that reflect the tribe’s perception of nature, community roles, and social identity. This research contributes to a broader understanding of Papuan linguistics and underscores the importance of preserving indigenous languages as repositories of cultural knowledge and intellectual heritage.
Abstract:Marriage involving pregnant women outside wedlock remains a critical socio-cultural and legal phenomenon in Indonesia, particularly in North Halmahera where family honor, religious authority, and customary law strongly influence…
nfluence communal life. This study aimed to explore how such marriages are understood, legitimized, and practiced by families, community leaders, and legal institutions. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, adat leaders, government officials, parents, and young women, complemented by participant observation and document analysis, and analyzed with an interactive model of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that marriage is primarily arranged to safeguard family honor, with communities regarding it as the only socially acceptable corrective measure, while religious leaders across traditions adopt pragmatic interpretations, invoking public interest or redemption to justify the practice, and customary rituals together with state dispensations further reinforce its legitimacy. Although marriage resolves immediate stigma and reintegrates families socially, it simultaneously generates long-term vulnerabilities, including interrupted education, economic dependence, marital instability, psychological stress, and increased maternal and neonatal health risks. This study contributes to the sociology of law and religion by demonstrating how socio-cultural confinement, Islamic legal pluralism, and adat practices converge in eastern Indonesia, while underscoring the urgent need for holistic interventions that integrate sexuality education, family communication, religious engagement, and legal reform to protect women and children more effectively.

Abstract:The use of language in society is not only limited to reflecting local wisdom, but the language features contained are able to build human character. The aim of this research is to describe the features of the Pohutu Momulanga…
omulanga language in forming the leadership identity of the Gorontalo people. Data was collected using paradox observer techniques and observation techniques. Research data was analyzed using pragmatic aspects by Leech (1983). The results of the research show that there are 5 (five) language features in Pohutu Momulanga's coronation ceremony, including: standard, literary, parable, rhyme, and archaic. Meanwhile, 5 (five) speech acts were found that were reflected in tuja'I, including: respecting, informing, promising, giving a message, and announcing.
Abstract:Idealism has made a significant contribution to the development of modern education, particularly in shaping curricula, learning orientations, and the reinforcement of moral values that foster students’ character formation.…
tion. The shift in educational paradigms that increasingly emphasizes intellectual and ethical dimensions demonstrates the relevance of idealist thought as a philosophical foundation that views reality as grounded in ideas, concepts, and rational consciousness. This study addresses the question of how the essence of idealism is philosophically understood and how its implications extend to religion, economics, politics, and education as spheres of human praxis. The research employs a literature review method through critical analysis of various scholarly articles discussing idealism as a philosophical school of thought and its contemporary relevance. The findings indicate that idealism posits ideas as the fundamental reality, while matter is understood as the outward manifestation of deeper inner dimensions such as mind, soul, and values. This perspective affirms that education should not merely focus on material and pragmatic aspects, but rather on the formation of character, morality, and spiritual awareness. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive synthesis between the metaphysical concepts of idealism and their multidimensional application in religion, economics, politics, and education, thereby offering an integrative perspective that underscores the urgency of ideal values in building a civilization grounded in thought and ethics.
Abstract:This article examines the importance of pragmatic equivalence in translating humor, a crucial yet often challenging aspect due to humor’s deep reliance on cultural context, implicature, and audience interpretation. Pragmatic…
gmatic equivalence emphasizes the conveyance of implicit meaning through communication principles such as those proposed by Grice, where coherence takes precedence over mere lexical and grammatical cohesion. In humor translation, coherence refers to the interconnectedness of meaning based on shared context and knowledge between the author and the audience, rather than simply the structure of sentences. However, humor is inherently ambiguous and open to multiple interpretations, making its meaning not always directly transferable. A single mistranslated element can alter the entire comedic effect, as humor is often highly culture-specific. In this case, the translator’s role extends beyond language transfer to bridging the knowledge gap that the target audience might have, sometimes at the cost of the humor’s spontaneity. This challenge creates a dilemma between preserving natural comedic effect and delivering accurate meaning. As a result, humor translation often leans toward either overly literal or overly liberal approaches, each with the risk of losing essential nuance. Therefore, pragmatic equivalence involves more than just finding corresponding meanings; it also requires sensitivity to the social and cultural contexts that shape audience responses. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the unique complexity of humor translation, making it a valuable contribution to the fields of literary studies, linguistics, and translation studies.
Abstract:Abstract: Digital technology has expanded the usage of mobile apps like M-Tix for movie ticket booking. The success of an app depends on its features, user experience, and technical acceptability. The User Experience Questionnaire…
stionnaire (UEQ) and Technology acceptability Model (TAM) will be used to examine how user experience affects technology acceptability and M-Tix application usage in Manokwari Regency. Quantitative methods were used with 149 respondents. SmartPLS 4 was used to analyse data using PLS-SEM. Researchers found that Hedonic Quality positively impacts Perceived Usefulness (β=0.288; p=0.005). Pragmatic Quality significantly impacts Perceived Ease of Use (β=0.651; p<0.001) and Usefulness (β=0.372; p=0.002). Additionally, Perceived Ease of Use (β=0.180; p=0.043) and Usefulness (β=0.453; p<0.001) favourably impact Behavioural Intention. However, Perceived Ease of Use does not substantially impact Perceived Usefulness (β=0.105; p=0.265). These data show that user experience is crucial to technological adoption and M-Tix application usage.

user experience across all User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) dimensions. This study aims to evaluate the user experience (UX) of SPOT UPI, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and provide recommendations for system improvement. A quantitative-dominant mixed-method design was applied, involving 81 student respondents for the UEQ survey and two participants for follow-up semi-structured interviews selected through purposive sampling. The UEQ data were analyzed to generate mean scores for six UX dimensions, while interview data were thematically analyzed to support the interpretation of quantitative findings. The results indicate that Perspicuity (1.05) and Efficiency (0.78) achieved the highest scores, reflecting adequate clarity and functionality. In Contrast, Stimulation (0.50) and Novelty (-0.15) were the lowest, indicating limited engagement and innovation. Overall, pragmatic quality (0.84) outperformed hedonic quality (0.17), suggesting that users value functionality more than enjoyment. In conclusion, SPOT UPI is generally usable but lacks aesthetic appeal, emotional engagement, and innovative features, highlighting the need for interface redesign and performance optimization to enhance the overall learning experience.

Abstrak: Perkembangan pembelajaran digital membuat mahasiswa semakin bergantung pada Learning Management System (LMS), termasuk SPOT UPI. Meski digunakan secara luas, evaluasi pengalaman pengguna secara komprehensif berdasarkan seluruh dimensi User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) masih belum banyak dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi user experience (UX) pada SPOT UPI, mengidentifikasi keunggulan dan kelemahannya, serta memberikan rekomendasi perbaikan sistem. Penelitian menggunakan desain penelitian mixed-method dominan kuantitatif, melibatkan 81 responden pada survei UEQ dan dua partisipan pada wawancara semi-terstruktur yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Data UEQ dianalisis untuk memperoleh nilai rata-rata pada enam dimensi UX, sedangkan data wawancara dianalisis secara tematik untuk memperkaya interpretasi temuan kuantitatif. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa Perspicuity (1,05) dan Efficiency (0,78) menjadi dimensi dengan skor tertinggi, mencerminkan bahwa SPOT UPI mudah dipahami dan cukup membantu dalam menyelesaikan tugas. Sebaliknya, Stimulation (0,50) dan Novelty (-0,15) memperoleh skor terendah, menandakan rendahnya tingkat keterlibatan dan inovasi yang dirasakan pengguna. Secara keseluruhan, pragmatic quality (0,84) lebih tinggi dibandingkan hedonic quality (0,17), menunjukkan bahwa pengguna lebih mengutamakan aspek fungsional daripada kenyamanan emosional. Temuan tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa SPOT UPI sudah layak digunakan secara fungsional, tetapi masih memerlukan peningkatan pada interface, pengalaman visual, dan fitur inovatif agar dapat memberikan pengalaman belajar digital yang lebih menarik dan optimal.

Abstract:This study discusses the adaptation strategies of non-Muslim MSMEs to halal certification regulations in Manado City from the perspective of Maqasid al-Syari'ah. This is a qualitative study. The research design is field…
research. The informants in this study consisted of MUI officials in North Sulawesi Province and non-Muslim MSME actors in Manado City. The results of this study indicate that: Non-Muslim SME actors have demonstrated a high level of adaptation to halal certification regulations through gradual and pragmatic strategies. They began by improving hygiene, recording raw materials, and participating in training and capacity-building programs. These strategies reflect that the actors do not reject the regulations but require an approach tailored to their capacities. In many cases, halal certification is even positioned as a branding tool and a means of market expansion, rather than merely legal compliance. This adaptation also reflects the success of a values-based approach rooted in the principles of maqasid, where regulations are accepted as meaningful and beneficial ethical business practices. Through a dialogic and contextual approach, non-Muslim SME operators have successfully transformed halal certification into an opportunity rather than a threat to their identity.
