ANALYSIS OF ARABICA COFFEE CULTIVATION PRACTICES IN SIPIROK BY COFFEE FARMERS IN SIPIROK
Coffee is a major commodity in Sipirok, South Tapanuli Regency, with potential national and international markets. The implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in coffee cultivation is still limited, resulting in suboptimal quality and competitiveness of Sipirok coffee. This study aims to analyse farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards GAP and examine local government policies supporting coffee development. It also aims to identify challenges and barriers to GAP implementation. The theoretical foundations used include Pierre Bourdieu's habitus theory, the KAP model, and Rogers' innovation adoption theory. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. Data validation was performed using triangulation techniques. The study area covered three sub-districts in South Tapanuli: Sipirok, Arse, and Saipar Dolok Hole. The results showed that most farmers still rely on traditional practices passed down through generations and have not fully understood or implemented GAP. The main inhibiting factors are limited capital, limited access to information, and resistance to change. A small group of farmers and local companies have adopted GAP more effectively. Local government policies are considered suboptimal in providing farmer education and mentoring. This study confirms that the transformation towards GAP implementation requires structural and institutional support, as well as changes in farmer habits to enable Sipirok coffee to compete in the global market. This study shows that the adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) by coffee farmers in Sipirok remains low and partial. In terms of knowledge, most farmers are not yet systematically familiar with GAP and still rely on inherited traditions. In terms of attitudes, they demonstrate caution towards new practices, with doubts persisting because GAP is considered expensive, difficult to implement, and does not guarantee better prices. In practice, most farmers are still at the pre-GAP stage and are GAP literate. Comprehensive implementation is only seen in groups fostered by institutions such as the Darul Mursyid Islamic Boarding School.

ACCULTURATION OF HADRAH WITH TRADITIONAL MALAY PERCUSSION IN ARBAIN'S MAULID ACTIVITIES IN MEDAN
This research is entitled "Acculturation of Hadrah with Traditional Malay Percussion in Maulid Arbain Activities in Medan City". The main purpose of this study is to identify the form of Hadrah performance in Maulid Arbain activities, analyze the Hadrah playing technique that is acculturated with traditional Malay music, and examine the acculturation process as a whole. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation, and is analyzed based on acculturation theory. The object of the research was focused on the performance of Hadrah in the Maulid Arbain activity at the Darul Ibtihaj Islamic Boarding School, Medan City. The results of the study show that there is an acculturation process between Hadrah and traditional Malay percussion music, as seen in the similarity of musical instruments such as tambourine and marwas to Malay drums. Acculturation is also reflected in interlocking-based game techniques that combine Hadrah rhythmic patterns with the peculiarities of Malay rhythms. In addition, the involvement of participants from various backgrounds, such as entrepreneurs, students, and Malay percussion music practitioners who study Hadrah, shows that this acculturation process also forms a dynamic and inclusive space for culturalinteraction in the community. This research found that Hadrah performance art during the Maulid Arbain celebrations in Medan City has undergone a significant acculturation process with traditional Malay music. This process is evident not only in the use of instruments such as the tambourine, bass hadrah, and marwas, but also in the playing techniques, which feature rampak and interlocking rhythmic patterns synonymous with Malay percussion music. Furthermore, the involvement of participants from diverse backgrounds, including the general public, demonstrates that Hadrah has become a platform for inclusive cultural expression. This acculturation enriches the aesthetic and spiritual values ​​of Hadrah performances, without diminishing the Islamic religious identity that underpins the performances. The acculturation of Hadrah with Malay music occurs not only musically but also socially—uniting Islamic boarding schools and the community within a single, dynamic cultural space. The polyrhythms created by the interlocking techniques serve as a musical symbol of the meeting of two major traditions that complement and enrich each other. This research provides several suggestions that can serve as a foundation for various parties to support the continuity and development of Hadrah art, which has undergone a process of acculturation with local culture, particularly in Medan City. This recommendation is aimed at further researchers, artists, educational and cultural institutions, and local governments that have a strategic role in preserving cultural and religious values. Keywords: hadrah, acculturation, Malay music, interlocking, Maulid Arbain, Medan

FAMILY SUPPORT IN REDUCING EMOTIONAL STRESS FOR THE ELDERLY IN THE SOCIETY 5.0 ERA IN PEKIK NYARING VILLAGE
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape of Society 5.0, characterized by advanced technology integration into daily life, elderly individuals often face heightened emotional stress due to isolation and adaptation challenges. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in rural areas like Pekik Nyaring Village, where traditional family structures intersect with modern technological demands. Recognizing the pivotal role of family support in mitigating such stress, this study explores how familial interventions can foster emotional resilience among the elderly. This study aims to analyze the support of the family in reducing emotional stress in the elderly in Pekik Nyaring Village, Central Bengkulu Regency. The approach used was qualitative with in-depth interviews with 12 informants, consisting of 6 elderly aged 60–78 years and 6 family members who care for the elderly. This study examines four dimensions of family support, namely emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal. The results showed that families provide emotional support through regular communication and attention, instrumental support in the form of assistance with daily activities and finances, informational support in the form of advice and direction, and esteem support through motivation and recognition. These four dimensions have been shown to reduce levels of emotional stress triggered by loneliness, health problems, economic problems, and the loss of a partner. In the context of Society 5.0, families also play a role as technological mediators by introducing telephones, video calls, or simple social media to the elderly. Despite obstacles such as limited digital literacy, distance, and family busyness, adaptive strategies such as gradual teaching and empathetic communication help maintain the emotional stability of the elderly. Thus, the quality of family support is key to improving the well-being of the elderly in the digital era. Keyword: Family support; Emotional stress; Elderly; Era Society 5.0

SELF-ACCEPTANCE AMONG THE ELDERLY IN THE TRESNA WERDHA CENTER IN BENGKULU
This study aims to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of self-acceptance among elderly individuals living at Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Bengkulu, focusing on the factors that influence this psychological condition. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research involved five elderly participants who served as key informants and provided detailed explanations regarding their personal experiences, perceptions, and reflections about life in the institution. The findings show that seven out of ten identified factors contribute positively to self-acceptance. These factors include the ability to understand oneself, having realistic expectations, the absence of significant environmental barriers, the lack of severe emotional disturbances, past achievements that strengthen confidence, maintaining a stable self-concept, and experiencing positive parenting earlier in life. These positive influences are supported by healthy thinking patterns, relatively good physical conditions, and emotional resilience in managing current challenges. However, three factors were found to hinder self-acceptance: receiving positive attitudes from others, identifying with well-adjusted individuals, and having a broad self-perspective. These inhibiting factors are associated with disharmonious peer relationships and a tendency for individuals to rely primarily on personal judgment rather than external input. In conclusion, the study highlights that self-acceptance among the elderly is shaped by both internal and external factors. It is recommended that elderly care institutions strengthen social and emotional support, and that further research be conducted to explore these influences more deeply in order to develop effective interventions that improve the well-being and overall quality of life of older adults. Key words: self-acceptance, elderly, social institution

PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF THE ELDERLY IN THE TRESNA WERDA SOCIAL ASSOCIATION IN BENGKULU
This study examines the psychological well-being of elderly residents at the Tresna Werdha Social Institution (PSTW) Bengkulu using six-dimensional framework: self-acceptance, positive relations, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research involved observations and in-depth interviews with eight elderly participants selected through purposive sampling. The findings show that the overall psychological well-being of the residents is relatively good, although it varies according to individual physical conditions, social experiences, and personal histories. In terms of self-acceptance, the elderly are generally able to embrace aging-related changes and reinterpret past experiences with gratitude. Most participants maintain positive relationships, supported by warm interactions with peers and staff, despite limited contact with family members. The dimension of autonomy appears stable, as residents can make daily decisions and participate in preferred activities, even though institutional rules sometimes restrict their freedom. Environmental mastery is reflected in their ability to adapt to the physical and social environment, participate in routine programs, and maintain personal spaces. The participants also retain meaningful life purposes, expressed through spiritual aspirations, hopes for health, and desires to reconnect with family. Personal growth remains evident as many continue learning, developing patience, and engaging in new activities that strengthen emotional and spiritual maturity. Despite these strengths, several challenges—such as declining health, loneliness, rigid regulations, and limited facilities still hinder optimal well-being. The study highlights the need for enhanced supportive services and more varied activities to further strengthen the psychological well-being of institutionalized elderly individuals. Key words: psychological well-being, elderly, social institution

COPING STRATEGIES FOR THE ELDERLY IN DEALING WITH FAMILY RELATIONSHIP GAP IN PEKIK NYARING VILLAGE
The increase in life expectancy in Indonesia, including in Central Bengkulu, has caused the number of elderly people to continue to increase and their need for family social support is getting higher. In Pekik Nyaring Village, some elderly people face gaps in relationships with their families due to distance from their homes, infrequent communication, and reduced emotional attention. This situation leads to loneliness, worry, and decreased psychological well-being. This research aims to uncover the coping strategies used by the elderly in dealing with family relationship gaps. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with purposive sampling technique. Six elderly people were selected as informants, and data was collected through in-depth interviews and observations. The analysis process includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study showed that the elderly applied two forms of coping strategies, namely problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. Problem-focused coping can be seen from the efforts of the elderly to fill their time with productive activities, interact with the surrounding environment, and participate in religious activities. Meanwhile, emotion-focused coping is seen through the attitude of accepting the situation, trying to be patient, managing emotions, and strengthening spirituality through prayer, reading the Qur'an, and dhikr. These findings emphasize the importance of family support and social environment to support the emotional well-being of the elderly and serve as a reference in the preparation of more targeted social interventions.

MEDIA RELATIONS IN MAINTAINING INSTITUTIONAL REPUTATION OF THE WEST SUMATERA REGIONAL POLICE
Media relations is a central function of public relations aimed at building productive relationships with mass media to support accurate and timely information dissemination. The West Sumatra Regional Police (Polda Sumbar) has faced negative news coverage that influenced its institutional reputation, prompting its Public Relations Division to strengthen media relations practices. This study examines how Polda Sumbar implements media relations as a reputation management strategy in the context of increasingly dynamic digital media. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed within a post-positivist paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. J.E. Grunig’s Excellence Theory in Public Relations was used to understand the type of communication and relationship developed between Polda Sumbar and the media. The findings show that Polda Sumbar applies several media relations strategies, including organizing press conferences, utilizing digital communication groups, providing information verification services, and conducting informal interactions with journalists to strengthen interpersonal rapport. These practices reflect two-way symmetrical communication characterized by openness, responsiveness, trust-building, and collaboration. The institution also performs continuous media monitoring and evaluation to anticipate emerging issues that may threaten its reputation. The study concludes that media relations serve as a strategic tool for sustaining institutional reputation, enhancing public trust, and supporting organizational accountability. It recommends strengthening public relations competencies and optimizing digital communication to ensure more effective and sustainable media relations practices in the future.

PARENTING PRACTICES SELF-EFFICACY AND PEER SUPPORT ON RESILIENCE IN ADOLESCENTS
The family is the primary environment that shapes a child's physical and psychological development. However, inappropriate family conditions or structures can be a source of stress that impacts adolescent resilience in facing life's challenges. This study aims to analyse the influence of parenting practices, self-efficacy, and peer support on the resilience of adolescents from intact and divorced families. The population in this study were high school students in Bogor City, with 240 respondents consisting of 180 adolescents from intact families and 60 from divorced families. The results showed that there were significant differences in parenting practices and self-efficacy between adolescents from intact and divorced families. Self-efficacy and peer support had a positive and significant effect on adolescent resilience. In addition, parenting practices also contributed to building resilience, although the effect was smaller. These findings emphasise the important role of parents and the social environment in supporting the psychological resilience of adolescents in both intact and divorced families. Family conditions or family structure have a significant impact on parenting practices, self-efficacy, and resilience in adolescents. Adolescents from intact families receive more positive parenting patterns, such as support, warmth, and high responsiveness from their parents. These parenting patterns impact high self-efficacy, especially in academic and emotional aspects. Conversely, adolescents from divorced families show lower self-efficacy, although self-acceptance in resilience is actually higher. Peer support was found to play a significant role in strengthening self-efficacy and resilience, without significant differences between family backgrounds. This indicates that peers are a relatively stable source of support for adolescents across various family conditions. Correlation and regression tests indicate that parenting practices, self-efficacy, and peer support have a positive and significant influence on adolescent resilience. These findings also indicate that self-efficacy is the most powerful factor in shaping resilience, especially for adolescents from divorced families. Negative parenting practices such as excessive punishment can weaken adolescent self-efficacy and resilience. Therefore, social support and adaptive parenting are crucial in building overall adolescent resilience. Key words: peer support, self-efficacy, intact families, parenting practices, resilience

SOCIAL MEDIA AS SYMBOLIC SPACE: IMPLICATIONS OF SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM ON GENERATION Z SELF-IMAGE AND SELF-ACCEPTANCE
This qualitative study investigates how female Generation Z undergraduates construct self-image and negotiate self-acceptance via Instagram interactions using the theoretical framework of symbolic interactionism. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital observations, and documentation involving five purposively selected participants from Tazkia University. Findings reveal that participants strategically manage self-image by curating visual content, ensuring feed aesthetics, and applying filters/editing. A clear separation of digital identities emerged, with a public-facing first account and a more personal second account. Digital cues, such as likes, comments, and shared content posts, act as social validation, influencing self-perception and emotional well-being. Self-acceptance involves reflecting on digital experiences, embracing personal attributes, and seeking offline support. Participants also adapt to social media pressures and algorithms by restricting audiences, using 'close friends' features, and deactivating accounts for self-stability. This study confirms Instagram as a symbolic space where individuals actively shape and negotiate identity and self-worth within a dynamic social context.

PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF STATE OFFICIAL ETHICS: A CASE STUDY OF THE POST-DEMAND OF AUGUST 2025
The ethics of state officials are a fundamental pillar in building and maintaining public trust, which serves as the foundation for the legitimacy and effectiveness of governance. In Indonesia, there is a gap between public expectations of officials' integrity and the reality of political practices, which are often tainted by abuse of power, corruption, collusion, nepotism (KKN), and the degradation of communication ethics. The massive demonstrations in August 2025 acted as a marker of the crisis, reflecting the public's deep disappointment with the behavior and policies of officials. The public perceives officials' ethics not merely as formal legal compliance but more as a manifestation of moral values, honesty, and civility in political life. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach to explore the public's subjective experiences in interpreting officials' ethics following the demonstrations. This study reveals a moral dissonance between public normative expectations and the actual behavior of officials. This experience shapes a negative collective memory while also triggering a new critical awareness to conduct more active social oversight. The research findings indicate that an ethical crisis not only damages individual reputations but also systemically undermines the legitimacy of government institutions. The study concludes that without comprehensive and ongoing ethical reform efforts, the erosion of public trust will continue, widening the gap between the state and its citizens. By addressing current issues, this research is expected to serve as material for critical reflection and provide practical recommendations for researchers and policymakers in efforts to strengthen the governance of integrity.

THE POSITION OF BORU DIAMPUAN IN THE CUSTOMS OF THE BATAK TOBA ETHNIC GROUP IN SIALANGUAN VILLAGE PANGURURAN DISTRICT
This study aims to analyze the position of boru diampuan in the customs of the Toba Batak ethnicity, analyze the challenges faced by the boru diampuanin the customs of the Toba Batak ethnicity. This research uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The location of the research was conducted in Sialanguan Village, Pangururan District, Samosir Regency. The data collection technique in this study was through participant observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and field notes. The results of the study showed that the son-in-law who lived in his wife's village was caused by economic limitations while living in Perantaun so he chose to return to his wife's village. There are three positions of boru diukah in customs , namely low social status, playing the role of parhobas (servants of traditional events), and not having the right to the inheritance of the in-laws. The position of boru diampuan in customs poses several challenges faced by boru diampu, namely disadvantaged social status, psychological challenges, and conflicts in agricultural land use. The phenomenon of boru diampuan in Sialanguan Village results in gender inequality because it shows a more dominant role and requires sacrifice from the boru diampuan, namely the son-in-law of the man who lives in his wife's village. Gender inequality can be seen when prioritizing men (hula-hula) and placing boru diamukah as a member of parhobas (servants) or who are always marginalized in the in-laws' families.

PERSONAL ACADEMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AS DETERMINANTS OF PERCEIVED COMPLEXITY IN ACCOUNTING COURSES
This study aims to examine the influence of personal, academic, and environmental factors on students’ perceived complexity of accounting courses. Accounting is frequently regarded as a difficult subject due to its abstract concepts, procedural rigor, and analytical demands, which often affect students’ motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. Understanding the determinants of perceived complexity is essential for improving the effectiveness of accounting education. This research employed a mixed-method explanatory approach, in which quantitative data served as the primary source of analysis and qualitative data supported the interpretation of results. Quantitative data were collected through a survey of 260 Accounting Education students at Universitas Negeri Medan using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The sample was selected using proportionate stratified random sampling based on semester level. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. To strengthen the empirical findings, qualitative data were obtained through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with selected students and lecturers. The results indicate that personal factors—including learning motivation, academic ability, prior learning experience, and attitudes toward accounting—significantly reduce students’ perceived complexity of accounting courses. Academic factors, such as curriculum structure, teaching methods, and instructional material quality, also play a significant role in facilitating understanding and reducing cognitive load. Furthermore, environmental factors, encompassing academic, social, and physical learning environments, positively influence students’ engagement and perceptions of accounting learning. Qualitative findings confirm that interactive teaching methods and supportive learning environments enhance students’ confidence in dealing with complex accounting material. This study contributes to accounting education literature by demonstrating that perceived course complexity is multidimensional and shaped by the interaction of internal and external factors. Practically, the findings suggest that educators and institutions should adopt student-centered teaching strategies, adaptive curricula, and supportive learning environments to mitigate perceived complexity and improve learning outcomes. Key words: Personal factors, Academic factors, Environmental factors, Accounting complexity, Students’ perception

THE ALIENATION OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN TOURISM VILLAGES: A STUDY ON THE OSING COMMUNITY TOURISM VILLAGE IN BANYUWANGI REGENCY
Tourism is one of the key sectors in the local economy, especially in areas rich in culture and local wisdom like Banyuwangi Regency. Kemiren Village, inhabited by the Osing indigenous community, has been designated as a tourist village. However, the development of this tourist village often alienates the local community from the decision-making process, reducing their role and the benefits they should receive. This study aims to examine the involvement of the Osing community in the development of Kemiren Tourism Village and the impact of alienation on their economic, social, and cultural well-being. Based on Karl Marx’s theory of alienation, this study uses five indicators of alienation: powerlessness, meaninglessness, social isolation, normlessness, and self-estrangement. This theory helps to understand how communities feel disconnected from the processes and outcomes they should be involved in and benefit from. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis. The informants include the village head, traditional leaders, and community members directly involved in the development of Kemiren Tourism Village. The findings show that the Osing community in Kemiren Village experiences alienation during the development of the tourist village. Although their involvement was minimal in the planning stage, positive adaptation was observed in the implementation phase, particularly in preserving local culture and boosting the economy through tourism activities. Active participation in the implementation stage reduces the sense of alienation, but more inclusive involvement is necessary to ensure a fairer distribution of benefits. More inclusive involvement and empowerment strategies focused on the local community are essential to reduce alienation and improve the economic, social, and cultural well-being of the Osing community in Kemiren Tourism Village. These findings provide a foundation for designing more sustainable and equitable tourism village development policies.

CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN THE PRESENTATION OF SIKAMBANG ARTS IN THE SOCIETY OF SIBOLGA CITY
This study is entitled Continuity and Changes in the Presentation of Sikambang Art in the Community of Sibolga City. In this study, qualitative methods are used as a reference in conducting research. This research took place on Jalan Sisinga Mangaraja XII, Sibolga City. The purpose of this study was to determine the continuity and changes that occurred in the period before independence, after independence and the New Order era until now. In this study, researchers apply the theory of cultural change according to Herskovitz; cultural change can be seen from two points of view, namely, what happened in the past and the present. Based on the first point of view, they always use it in the term diffusion, which is defined as the transmission of culture in the process. The results achieved in this study are the dynamics of change in a period of 3 periods wherein the pre-independence stage, Sikambang art was still very simple, only played with Sikambang drums, and then in the post-independence phase, Sikambang art progressed with the addition of several instruments in its presentation. Then in the New Order phase, Sikambang art began to be eroded by the entry of new cultures, which caused a lack of interest in the new generation in maintaining Sikambang art. This can be seen from the loss of several songs in the Sikambang arts.

Suno Lowalangi means Praise the Lord, which is one of the songs in the ZinunÖ Book (songs of praise), BNKP No. 69, and is used in BNKP congregational worship using a single organ accompaniment, tempo 99-104 (moderato). Suno Lowalangi, meaning "praise God," is a song whose melody is adopted from the song "From the Islands and Continents" with translation into the Nias language (li niha). In 2013, Brian Harefa, an artist from Nias, composed the song "Suno Lowalangi" into a jazz music concept accompanied by piano, bass guitar, and drums. The musical arrangement of the song "Suno Lowalangi" by Brian Harefa makes the song a contemporary musical work that comes from the musical concept as in the Zinuno Book. This research was carried out using descriptive-analytical qualitative research methods through a transcription analysis study approach, namely an activity of changing sound (audio) signals into notational form, which is then analyzed using theories of musical structure analysis. The song "Suno Lowalangi" is one of the song titles in the Zinunö Book (hymns) used in congregational worship at the Banua Niha Keriso Protestant (BNKP) church. This song is recorded in the Zinunő Book No. 069, which is included in the theme fa'atumbu yesu (the birth of Jesus Christ), so this song is generally sung in almost every Christmas celebration service. "Suno Lowalangi," which means "praise the Lord," is a translation of the song "From the Island and the Continent," which is also a Christmas-themed song. Suno Lowalangi adopts some of the lyrics and melody that are exactly the same as the song "From the Island and the Continent," only the lyrics are translated into the Nias language (li niha). The process of translating the lyrics into the Nias language was carried out so that it could be easily accepted by the Nias people as the majority of the BNKP church congregation members.

The song "Suno Lowalangi" has a diatonic scale and is sung with a tempo of 94-104 (moderato) with a single organ accompaniment. In 2013, Brian Harefa gave a new color to the musicality of the song "Suno Lowalangi" in a form that was slightly different from the presentation of the song at the BNKP congregation's worship. The use of improvisation and syncopation in the chords and melody made the song "Suno Lowalangi" come out of its musical concept as a hymn in church worship, becoming a jazz genre song with a more modern musical concept. Some of the instruments used to accompany the song are piano, bass, and drums.
THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF ABDUL WAHAB CHASBULLAH: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT AND THE CONCEPT OF STATEHOOD
This study comprehensively discusses Abdul Wahab Chasbullah's political thought and his contribution to the national movement and the development of the concept of statehood in Indonesia. Abdul Wahab Chasbullah is one of the most important figures in the intellectual history of Islam in Indonesia, particularly through his central role in the establishment of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Islamic organization that continues to play a strategic role in the religious, social, and political life of the nation. His ideas on the relationship between religion and the state are based on moderate, open, and contextual Islamic principles, which are capable of addressing contemporary challenges without losing their fundamental values. Using a qualitative approach and literature review methods, this study examines various primary and secondary sources, including biographical books, works of thought by prominent figures, scientific journal articles, historical archive documents, and contemporary writings. This approach allows for an in-depth exploration of the dynamics of Abdul Wahab Chasbullah's thinking and how his ideas made a real contribution to the struggle for Indonesian independence and the formation of an inclusive national framework. His thoughts were not limited to religious discourse, but also included visionary socio-political strategies in fighting for independence and building a state system that respected plurality. The results of the research show that Abdul Wahab Chasbullah was a cleric who was not only fluent in religious knowledge, but also very sensitive to the socio-political developments of his time. His moderate and adaptive political views enabled him to build bridges between Islamic tradition and the growing spirit of nationalism during the colonial period. Through NU, he made Islam a moral force that helped drive the struggle for independence. He was active in various national organizations and used the media as a means of intellectual and political struggle. Thus, Abdul Wahab Chasbullah's political thought is not only an important historical legacy but also relevant as a reference for formulating policies and the direction of national development today. His inclusive attitude and contextual understanding of Islamic values serve as an important example for future generations in building a democratic, just, and culturally rooted nation.

DEVELOPMENT OF NARRATIVE ESSAY BASED ON DOCUMENTARY FILM HULA KETA AS TEACHING SUPPLEMENT TO FORM NATIONAL IDENTITY OF STUDENTS OF SMKN 3 MALANG
Abstract This study addresses the challenge of disengagement in national identity education among vocational students by developing an innovative teaching supplement combining documentary film analysis and narrative essay writing. Centered on the documentary Hula Keta: Bukan Maluku Tanpa Sagu, which explores Tidore’s sago culinary traditions and communal values, the research bridges local cultural heritage with Pancasila principles to strengthen students' national identity. Using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the researchers created a coffee table book integrating film excerpts, reflective essays, and project-based activities aligned with Civics Education competencies. Material and media expert validation confirmed the product’s high feasibility, with 60% of indicators rated “highly feasible” and Cronbach’s Alpha reliability of 0.962. Implementation involving 36 culinary students at SMK Negeri 3 Malang revealed statistically significant learning outcome improvements, with mean scores rising from 51.67 (pre-test) to 89.31 (post-test) (*p* = 0.004). The intervention’s success stemmed from vocational contextualization, anchoring abstract concepts like environmental stewardship and national unity in relatable gastronomic heritage. Qualitative analysis of reflective essays demonstrated enhanced critical thinking, with students connecting Tidore’s gotong royong practices to broader civic responsibilities. By transforming passive learning into active cultural preservation through visual storytelling and place-based pedagogy, the narrative essay fostered pride in Indonesia’s diversity as a national asset. This research contributes to educational innovation by demonstrating how multimedia tools rooted in local wisdom can revitalize civic education, particularly in vocational settings where traditional didactic methods often fail. The findings emphasize the urgency of culturally responsive curricula in nurturing socially conscious citizens, offering a replicable model for integrating regional narratives into national identity frameworks across Indonesia’s multicultural landscape.

EVALUATION OF THE USE OF THE STATE CIVIL APPARATUS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIMASGARA) AT THE MANDAILING NATAL PERSONNEL AGENCY
This study aims to evaluate the use of the State Civil Apparatus Management Information System (SIMASGARA) at the Mandailing Natal Regency Civil Service Agency. SIMASGARA is a digital system designed to manage data and personnel administration effectively. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory descriptive design, which involves in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis to obtain comprehensive data. The subjects of the study include operational employees, leaders of the Personnel Agency, and other system users related to ASN data management. The results of the study show that SIMASGARA has provided significant benefits in personnel data management, especially in simplifying administrative processes, improving data accuracy, and accelerating the preparation of reports. However, the use of this system is still not optimal. The main obstacles found include limited network infrastructure, lack of user understanding of system features, and resistance to changing from manual to digital methods. Leadership support and policies that require the use of SIMASGARA are the main supporting factors for the successful implementation of this system. This study also identifies that the success of SIMASGARA is influenced by organizational readiness, technical infrastructure, and individual competence, as explained in the theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovation. To overcome existing obstacles, the recommendations include advanced training to improve user competence, strengthening technology infrastructure, and developing a digital-based work culture. This study concludes that SIMASGARA has great potential to support bureaucratic reform, especially in personnel management. However, system optimization requires a holistic and sustainable strategy. With the right improvements, SIMASGARA can become a model for the implementation of an effective personnel information system in the public sector.
