Analysis of the Role of the Among System in Habituating Scout Activities at SDN 066 Halimun

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the implementation of the Among System in Scout activities at SDN 066 Halimun and explains how it contributes to elementary students' character habituation. Using a qualitative case study design, the study involved educators or Scout leaders and students who were directly engaged in routine Scout activities. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, activity observations, and documentation of Scout programs, schedules, and school records. The data were analyzed thematically by comparing evidence from different participant groups and data sources. The findings show that the Among System is implemented through three interrelated principles: Ing Ngarso Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, and Tut Wuri Handayani. These principles strengthen character habituation by modelling discipline, motivating active participation, and providing guided autonomy for students. The study also identifies technical and non-technical constraints, including limited facilities, limited guidance time, variation in student enthusiasm, and the need for consistent leader capacity. The study contributes to character education scholarship by showing how the Among System can function as a practical mentoring framework in Scout-based extracurricular learning. Practical implications include the need to strengthen school-parent-community collaboration, integrate Scout values into daily school routines, and provide continuous training for Scout leaders.

Aviation vocational education institutions must continuously adjust their programs, partnerships, and service portfolios to technological change and evolving industry competence requirements. This study analyzes the strategic development options of Politeknik Penerbangan Surabaya using the Ansoff Matrix. A qualitative case-study design was employed. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with purposively selected internal and external stakeholders, direct observation of academic and training activities, and analysis of institutional strategic plans, performance reports, accreditation records, and cooperation documents. The data were analyzed through thematic coding and subsequently mapped to the four Ansoff strategies: market penetration, market development, product development, and diversification. Triangulation and member checking were used to enhance credibility. The findings indicate that product development and market development offer the strongest medium-term combination of feasibility and strategic impact. Priority initiatives include upgrading selected study programs, developing short courses in unmanned aircraft systems, airport operations, rescue and firefighting, and aviation cybersecurity, modernizing laboratories and simulators, and expanding cooperation with aviation organizations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Diversification through applied research centers, a digital academy, startup incubation, and professional consulting offers long-term value but requires stronger governance, specialist staff, and sustainable financing. The study is novel in adapting the product-market logic of the Ansoff Matrix to an aviation vocational education context and in proposing a staged institutional growth portfolio. Practically, the findings provide institutional leaders with a risk-sensitive roadmap for strengthening graduate relevance, international reach, innovation capacity, and institutional competitiveness.

Fatigue Factors, Management, and Flight Training Safety Among Cadet Pilots at the Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi

Agung Wahyu Wicaksono, Datus, Era — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fatigue is a critical human-factors hazard in flight training because it can impair attention, procedural memory, communication, and aircraft control. This study examined the dominant causes of fatigue among cadet pilots at the Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi, the strategies used to manage it, and the institutional implications for flight training safety. A descriptive qualitative case-study design was supported by an exploratory questionnaire, direct observation of training schedules, semi-structured interviews, and a literature review. Thirty-one cadets in the CPL-IR phase with more than 50 flight hours completed a seven-item questionnaire, and four cadets representing the participating cohorts completed interviews guided by 15 questions. Questionnaire data were summarized using frequencies, while interview and observation data were analyzed through data condensation, thematic display, and conclusion verification. Twenty-nine of 31 cadets reported experiencing fatigue. The most frequently reported contributors were insufficient sleep (13 responses), high physical workload (10), and insufficient nutrition (8). Concentration and procedural disruption were the most common consequences (18 responses). Interviews further showed that compressed schedules, consecutive flight, simulator, academic, hangar, and dormitory duties created cumulative fatigue, while institutional responses to fatigue reporting were inconsistent. The study is novel in framing cadet fatigue as an interaction between individual recovery practices and institutional scheduling conditions. It recommends an academy-level Fatigue Risk Management System incorporating non-punitive reporting, schedule-risk assessment, pre-flight fitness checks, protected rest, and nutrition and hydration support.

Ego Failure and ID Dominance in Danarto’s Godlob: A Freudian Psychoanalytic Reading

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the failure of the ego to regulate id-dominated impulses in the father character in Danarto’s short story Godlob through Sigmund Freud’s structural model of personality. A qualitative interpretive textual analysis was conducted on the complete short story. Six excerpts were purposively selected because they represent instinctual demand, rationalization, moral inhibition, traumatic setting, interpersonal resistance, and social grievance. The data were coded into four analytical categories—id dominance, ego failure, superego weakening, and contextual pressure—and interpreted through repeated close reading and contextual comparison. The findings show a sequential psychological mechanism: repeated loss and wartime violence intensify the father’s demand for recognition; the ego then ceases to mediate reality and instead rationalizes the id’s destructive desire; and the superego is displaced by an ideology of heroism that converts filicide into an allegedly meaningful sacrifice. The study’s novelty lies in tracing this mechanism as a narrative process rather than merely identifying separate examples of the id, ego, and superego. Theoretically, the analysis demonstrates that ego failure in the story is both intrapsychic and socially produced. Practically, the findings support the use of psychoanalytic reading in literary education to develop critical discussion of trauma, moral responsibility, violence, and ideological manipulation.

Parents' Perceptions of Zoning-Based Elementary School Admissions: A Structured Literature Review

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The zoning-based Student Admission Policy (Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru, PPDB) was introduced to improve geographical access and reduce inequalities among Indonesian schools, yet its implementation has generated mixed responses from parents. This structured qualitative literature review examines parental perceptions, satisfaction and objections, and the effects of zoning on elementary-school choice. The analytical corpus comprised 15 topic-specific scholarly publications issued between 2019 and 2025, supplemented by two official policy and international education reports. Sources were identified through Google Scholar, SINTA, relevant publisher platforms, and official education websites using Indonesian and English search terms. Publications were included when they addressed school admissions, parental perceptions, implementation quality, school choice, or educational equity at the elementary or compulsory-education level. Data were synthesized through deductive-inductive thematic coding. Four themes emerged: perceived benefits of proximity and equitable access; restrictions on parental choice; implementation quality, information, and technical barriers; and contextual inequalities in school quality and family resources. The review's novelty lies in integrating parental perception, public-service satisfaction, and educational-equity perspectives into one conceptual model. The findings indicate that zoning is more likely to receive parental support when school quality is relatively even, procedures are transparent, and families receive accessible and personalized information. Conversely, unequal school quality and weak implementation can convert a formally equitable policy into a source of distrust and strategic behavior. The review contributes a policy-oriented framework for improving communication, complaint handling, digital registration, and quality equalization across schools.

Assessment of basic numeracy is essential for identifying students' foundational mathematical competence and for supporting instructional decisions. However, very high test scores may conceal limited measurement sensitivity when an instrument contains many low-difficulty items. This study examined an existing 25-item basic numeracy assessment by interpreting highly concentrated score distributions and proportion-correct values (p-values) as preliminary indicators of item difficulty. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied to data from 35 participants. Because the available dataset did not support formal reliability estimation, item discrimination indices, distractor analysis, or IRT/CDM modelling, the analysis was limited to total-score distribution, item-level proportion-correct values, and documentary review of item explanations. Results showed strong upper-end score concentration: scores ranged from 19 to 25 (M = 23.6, SD = 1.83), and 51.4% of participants achieved the maximum score. Items 11, 18, and 19 were answered correctly by all participants, whereas Items 24 and 10 produced the lowest correct-response rates but remained easy overall (85.7% and 88.6%). Item 17 was flagged for possible ambiguity in the answer explanation. The findings indicate that the instrument functions adequately as a baseline mastery check but has limited capacity to differentiate higher-performing students. The study contributes practical evidence for revising classroom-based numeracy instruments through more balanced item difficulty, clearer keying logic, and future validation using larger samples and stronger psychometric evidence.

Effect Of Airport Signage Quality on Passenger Satisfaction at Juanda International Airport

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Airport signage is a core wayfinding facility that can reduce uncertainty and support passenger movement in complex terminal environments. This study examined the effect of signage quality—operationalized through clarity, placement, and lighting—on passenger satisfaction in the departure area of Terminal 1, Juanda International Airport. A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied to 100 passengers using a 24-item, five-point Likert questionnaire. Twelve items measured signage quality and twelve measured passenger satisfaction. Instrument quality was assessed through item-total validity and Cronbach’s alpha, followed by normality testing, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. All items were valid; reliability was high for signage (α = 0.957) and passenger satisfaction (α = 0.936). Signage quality was strongly associated with passenger satisfaction (r = 0.959, 95% CI [0.940, 0.972], p < 0.001), and explained 92.0% of the observed variance (R² = 0.920). Lower-scoring items concerned ease of locating signs, orientation, reduction of confusion, and overall satisfaction with directional clarity. The novelty of the study lies in isolating the physical characteristics of airport signage as a specific service-quality determinant in an Indonesian terminal context rather than treating signage as a minor part of a broad facility index. The findings extend airport service-quality research by linking tangible information infrastructure with passenger satisfaction and provide a practical basis for signage audits, decision-point placement, lighting improvement, and passenger-centered terminal planning. Because both variables were measured through the same cross-sectional questionnaire, the unusually high R² should be interpreted cautiously and verified through multi-airport and multi-method studies.

Design and Development of an MQ-2 Sensor and Arduino Uno Gas Leak Detection System with Automatic Ventilation and Warning

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Gas leakage can create fire, explosion, and health hazards when it is not detected promptly. This study developed a laboratory-scale gas-leak detection prototype that integrates an MQ-2 metal-oxide sensor, Arduino Uno, 16×2 I2C LCD, audible and visual warnings, a relay, and an automatically activated exhaust fan. Prototype performance was evaluated through distance-based sensor-response tests, alarm-response-time trials, and time-resolved ventilation tests. The average MQ-2 output declined from 721.0 ADC counts at 5 cm to 150.0 ADC counts at 30 cm, indicating a consistent distance-dependent response under the reported test conditions. The warning chain activated in an average of 2.0 s. After fan activation, the average ADC response decreased by 46.7% after 30 s and 79.9% after 60 s relative to the initial reading. These percentages describe changes in relative sensor output, not calibrated gas concentration, because no certified reference-gas or parts-per-million calibration was performed. The prototype demonstrates the feasibility of combining local detection, warning logic, and automatic ventilation in one low-cost platform. It is intended as an educational and supervised proof of concept and should not be treated as a substitute for a certified combustible-gas detector or explosion-protected safety system.
