Ulu script, the indigenous writing system of the Rejang people, is taught as part of the Bareang local-content subject in Kepahiang Regency, Bengkulu, yet its instruction at SD Negeri 13 Kepahiang remained lecture-based and reliant on a limited stock of shared textbooks, leaving 60% of fourth-grade students below the minimum attainment criterion and their learning motivation low. This study aimed to develop interactive multimedia for Ulu script that is valid and practical and can facilitate the learning motivation of fourth-grade students. The research used a research and development design following the 4D model of define, design, develop, and disseminate, limited in practice to the develop stage. The product was built with Google Apps Script and Google Sheets and delivered as a web application containing material menus and a group game. Participants were 31 fourth-grade students, comprising five in the limited trial and twenty-six in the field trial, together with two expert validators and the class teacher. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and analysed descriptively as percentages. Content-expert validation reached 90% and media-expert validation 88.6%, both highly valid. Student responses reached 85.4% in the limited trial and 84.02% in the field trial, and teacher responses 89.66% and 86.6%, all highly practical. Learning motivation among the twenty-six students reached 87.9%, categorised as very high. The developed multimedia is therefore valid and practical and is able to facilitate students' learning motivation

Pemanfaatan sistem informasi kasir pada apotek berperan penting dalam mendukung transaksi penjualan, pengelolaan persediaan obat, dan penyediaan laporan keuangan. Namun, peningkatan penggunaan sistem tersebut juga diikuti oleh risiko keamanan informasi, khususnya pada apotek skala kecil yang belum menerapkan pengelolaan keamanan secara terstruktur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi tingkat pengelolaan keamanan sistem informasi kasir apotek dan menyusun rekomendasi perbaikan menggunakan kerangka kerja COBIT, khususnya domain DSS05 (Manage Security Services). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah audit sistem informasi dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif melalui observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil audit menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kapabilitas pengelolaan keamanan sistem informasi kasir apotek berada pada Level 2 (Managed Process) dengan nilai rata-rata 1,9. Subproses DSS05.01 memperoleh nilai 2,0, DSS05.02 sebesar 1,8, DSS05.03 sebesar 2,1, dan DSS05.05 sebesar 1,7, yang menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan keamanan telah dilakukan namun belum terstandarisasi dan terdokumentasi secara formal. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan pengelolaan keamanan menuju Level 3 (Established Process) melalui penyusunan kebijakan, prosedur, dan pengendalian keamanan yang lebih terstruktur guna meningkatkan perlindungan data dan keandalan layanan sistem informasi kasir apotek
This study aims to analyze the optimization of arbitration as a mechanism for business dispute settlement in Bengkulu from an empirical socio-legal perspective. Although arbitration is formally recognized under Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, its practical use among local business actors remains limited. This research applies a socio-legal method combining legal-normative analysis and empirical field inquiry. The normative component examines the Indonesian legal framework on arbitration, including Law Number 30 of 1999, relevant Supreme Court regulations, arbitration principles, and alternative dispute resolution literature. The empirical component investigates how business actors in Bengkulu perceive and use arbitration in practice. Data were collected from 23 purposively selected informants, consisting of local business actors, MSME representatives, cooperative actors, legal practitioners, academics, and institutional stakeholders. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and normative legal review. The data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis combined with legal-normative interpretation. This design allows the study to distinguish between the formal legal framework governing arbitration and the practical perceptions, barriers, and dispute resolution behavior of business actors in Bengkulu. The findings show that arbitration has not yet become a dominant mechanism for resolving business disputes in Bengkulu. Its limited use is influenced by weak legal literacy, poor understanding of arbitration clauses, limited institutional access, perceived high cost, and a strong preference for informal or kinship-based settlement. Local business actors tend to prioritize negotiation and compromise because these methods are considered familiar, less confrontational, and compatible with local business culture. The study concludes that arbitration should be developed not as a replacement for local negotiation practices, but as part of a hybrid dispute resolution model supported by legal literacy, simplified arbitration clauses, transparent costs and procedures, institutional support, and consistent court enforcement.
