This study investigated the performance optimization of photovoltaic system (PV) systems installed on an ellipsoidal rooftop at the Politeknik Balikpapan Building, addressing the unique challenges posed by curved surfaces, such as uneven irradiance distribution and shading effects. This research aims to evaluate and compare the performance of monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV modules using Helioscope software, with a focus on two key metrics: Performance Ratio (PR) and Energy Density Ratio (EDR). Simulations were conducted by segmenting the rooftop into distinct areas based on azimuth angles, allowing a detailed analysis of the shading impact. The results showed that monocrystalline PV modules achieved a PR of 71.5
Transformasi pendidikan pada era globalisasi dan digitalisasi menuntut organisasi pendidikan memiliki tata kelola yang adaptif tanpa kehilangan relevansi sosial dan identitas budaya. Namun, praktik manajemen pendidikan di Indonesia masih didominasi pendekatan administratif dan teknokratis yang cenderung mengabaikan dimensi nilai serta konteks sosial-budaya masyarakat. Artikel ini bertujuan mengonstruksi strategi pengelolaan organisasi pendidikan berbasis kearifan budaya Nusantara sebagai alternatif kerangka tata kelola yang kontekstual, partisipatif, dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kepustakaan (library research). Analisis dilakukan melalui content analysis dengan tahapan identifikasi, kategorisasi, interpretasi, dan sintesis tematik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai kearifan budaya Nusantara, yaitu gotong royong, musyawarah, kebersamaan, tanggung jawab sosial, dan penghormatan terhadap keberagaman, memiliki relevansi sebagai fondasi pengelolaan organisasi pendidikan. Nilai-nilai tersebut terintegrasi dalam enam dimensi strategis, yaitu perencanaan partisipatif, kepemimpinan berbasis budaya, pengembangan sumber daya manusia kolaboratif, penguatan budaya organisasi, kolaborasi pemangku kepentingan, dan transformasi digital beridentitas kultural. Kajian ini menghasilkan model konseptual pengelolaan organisasi pendidikan yang berorientasi pada pembentukan institusi yang adaptif, berkarakter, inklusif, dan berkelanjutan. Hal ini dapat memperkaya diskursus manajemen pendidikan melalui penguatan perspektif budaya sebagai landasan tata kelola yang relevan dengan konteks Indonesia.
This study examined the effectiveness of phonics-based structured activities in enhancing young learners’ pronunciation in an extracurricular EFL setting. Pronunciation remains a challenging aspect of English learning, particularly for young learners in EFL contexts where exposure to authentic spoken English is often limited. To address this issue, this study implemented a series of phonics-based structured activities designed to improve learners’ pronunciation accuracy, clarity, and word stress. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants were 18 elementary students in Grades two and three enrolled in an extracurricular English program at SDN 24 Palu. The intervention was conducted over eight meetings, including one pre-test session, six treatment sessions, and one post-test session, with each session lasting 60 minutes. Data were collected through an oral pronunciation assessment consisting of 12 vocabulary items evaluated across three pronunciation dimensions: accuracy, clarity, and stress. The findings indicated a substantial improvement in students’ pronunciation performance. The mean pre-test score was 62.69, while the post-test mean increased to 85.69. Statistical analysis using a paired-sample t-test revealed that the improvement was significant, t(17) = 8.39, p < .001. These findings suggest that phonics-based structured activities can effectively support pronunciation development among young learners in extracurricular EFL contexts. The study offers practical implications for English educators seeking developmentally appropriate pronunciation instruction for young learners.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is an essential aspect of creating a safe working environment in hospitals. However, the reporting of occupational accidents remains suboptimal. This study aimed to analyze the determinants influencing awareness of occupational accident reporting at the Technical Implementation Unit of Madani General Hospital, Palu. Method: This research employed a quantitative method with a cross- sectional design. The study population consisted of all medical and non- medical health workers totaling 753 individuals, with a sample of 289 respondents selected using a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Google Form–based questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Result: The results showed a significant relationship between coworker support (p=0.000) and knowledge of OHS reporting procedures (p=0.000) with awareness of occupational accident reporting. Meanwhile, basic knowledge of OHS was not associated with reporting awareness (p=0.862). The variable of OHS training history could not be analyzed because all respondents (100%) had never attended OHS training. Multivariate analysis indicated that coworker support was the most dominant variable influencing awareness of occupational accident reporting, with an Exp(B) value of 68.178. Discussion: In conclusion, coworker support and knowledge of OHS reporting procedures significantly influence awareness of occupational accident reporting, with coworker support identified as the most dominant factor. Hospital management is recommended to enhance workplace support, strengthen the dissemination of OHS reporting procedures, and conduct regular OHS training to improve awareness of occupational accident reporting.
The screening policy for prospective brides and grooms is a strategic intervention to prevent stunting from upstream. This research aims to evaluate the implementation of the prospective bride and groom screening policy in Dolo District, Sigi Regency, in 2025. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The informants were determined purposively, consisting of 11 people including Community Health Center officers, KUA, cadres, and prospective brides and grooms. Analysis uses the Miles & Huberman model. The research results show that policy implementation is not optimal. The six variables of the Van Meter & Van Horn model are the main findings: (1) policy standards experience a reduction in meaning to administrative formality; (2) resources experience systemic deficits in medical logistics and budget; (3) the characteristics of implementing agents are characterized by procedural informality without local SOPs; (4) the implementer's attitude is positive but the workload is pressured; (5) fragmented interorganizational communications without fixed protocols; (6) socio-cultural conditions in the form of "good day" traditions are the main obstacle. The conclusion of this research is that the policy is administratively successful but not optimal in clinical substance. Strengthening regional regulations, data interoperability and incentives for officers is needed.
