Eating habits can influence nutritional status. The consumption of frozen food and sugar-sweetened beverages represents behaviors that contribute to nutritional status. This study was conducted to analyze the association between frozen food consumption, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, nutritional knowledge, and physical activity with the nutritional status of UHAMKA students. This research employed a quantitative approach using an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 143 students enrolled at UHAMKA. Data collection methods included the SQ-FFQ for frozen food, the SQ-FFQ for sugar-sweetened beverages, a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), interviews, and anthropometric measurements covering body weight and height. The results indicated no significant association between intake from frozen food, nutritional knowledge, and physical activity with nutritional status. However, there was a significant association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and nutritional status
PEMANFAATAN ENZIM TRANSGLUTAMINASE DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PRODUK SOSIS DARI BERBAGAI BAHAN BAKU DAGING: REVIEW
Sausage is a processed meat product widely favored by consumers due to its high nutritional value, particularly as a source of animal protein, as well as its practicality and long shelf life. However, one of the main challenges in the sausage processing industry is maintaining the product’s texture, stability, and water-binding capacity. This article aims to evaluate the effect of adding transglutaminase enzyme (TGase) on the quality of sausages in terms of physical, chemical, and organoleptic characteristics. The literature review in this article covers the protein characteristics of chicken meat, the working mechanism of TGase in forming protein cross-links, and the application of this enzyme in meat-based products. The scope of the article is limited to the use of beef, chicken, and pork as the main raw materials, allowing the results to specifically illustrate the effectiveness of TGase in improving sausage characteristics. Research findings indicate that the addition of TGase significantly enhances the compactness, chewiness, and water-holding capacity of sausages without reducing their sensory quality. It is concluded that TGase has the potential to be used as a technological innovation to improve the quality of sausages, particularly in terms of texture and product stability during storag

The findings suggest that asynchronous YouTube-based instruction provides a flexible and engaging platform for vocabulary development and recommend its integration into English language learning curricula in similar educational contexts
From Newsroom Frames to Courtroom Registers: Language as Patriarchal Legitimation in Sexual Violence Reporting
This study examines how patriarchal authority is linguistically constructed and contested across media coverage and courtroom registers in sexual violence cases. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Halliday’s transitivity framework, the researcher analyses 784 clauses from 25 online news articles and one courtroom case adjudicated at the Praya District Court in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. News reports were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on cases where perpetrators were socially significant figures such as father, lecture, and religious leader. AntConc software generated frequency and concordance lists, which were qualitatively coded in ATLAS.ti to identity patterns of agency, responsibility, and identity representation. Findings reveal that media discourse is dominated by material processes (70%), foregrounding acts of abuse and institutional responses, while relational processes assign social roles that frame cases within patriarchal and hierarchies. Courtroom discourse is characterized by relational, verbal, and mental processes, where defendant deploy relational clauses and conditional threats to normalize coercion, mask abuse as paternal care, and silence resistance. This study introduces the concept of discursive paternalism to explain how paternal identity functions as a linguistic resource that reframes coercion as moral duty. By connecting media framing and courtroom registers, the analysis demonstrates that justice is discursively produced across interconnected arena, with media narratives priming societal expectations and courtroom language either reinforcing or challenging the
Novice vs. Experienced Teachers: A Study of English Language Teaching Strategies
The strategies employed by teachers in teaching English as a foreign language play a crucial role in determining students’ success in mastering the language. Prior research has consistently indicated that teachers’ instructional strategies are influenced by their learning experiences, formal education, and length of teaching experience. Studies in language pedagogy suggest that experienced teachers tend to demonstrate greater flexibility and pedagogical awareness in selecting and implementing teaching strategies, while novice teachers often rely more heavily on prescribed frameworks. Grounded in this literature, the present study aims to examine the differences in strategy selection and implementation between novice and experienced English teachers. This study adopted a mixed-methods approach involving self-rating questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. The participants consisted of novice and experienced English teachers teaching at the secondary school level. Quantitative data from the questionnaires were supported and elaborated by qualitative data obtained from observations and interviews. The findings reveal both similarities and clear differences in the strategies used by novice and experienced teachers. Novice teachers tended to follow structured and predefined strategies aligned with their personal teaching standards, whereas experienced teachers demonstrated greater adaptability by modifying, combining, and contextualizing strategies to meet students’ needs and classroom dynamics. These findings highlight the importance of pedagogical flexibility in effective English language teaching. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for teacher education programs to emphasize reflective practice, differentiated strategy training, and mentorship to better prepare novice teachers for diverse instructional contexts
Do Dividends Always Strengthen Firm Value? Evidence of Asymmetric Moderation in the Governance–Performance Nexus
This study aims to empirically examine the effect of intellectual capital, profitability, managerial ownership, and institutional ownership on firm value, with dividend policy as a moderating variable. The research focuses on companies in the consumer non-cyclical sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2022 period. A total of 30 firms were selected using purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the assistance of EViews 12 software. The results indicate that intellectual capital and profitability have a significant impact on enhancing firm value, whereas managerial and institutional ownership have no notable impact. Moreover, dividend policy amplifies the positive effects of intellectual capital and institutional ownership on firm value but diminishes the influence of profitability and managerial ownership. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the contingent role of dividend policy in moderating governance and performance signals, providing practical insights for investors and corporate decision-makers to optimize firm valuation strategies

Peningkatan Kualitas Air di SDI As Salam Malang: Sistem Filtrasi Berlapis untuk Mengatasi Kontaminasi Besi Tinggi
The quality of water used in daily activities plays a crucial role in supporting health, comfort, and safety, particularly in educational environments. At SDI As Salam, Malang City, groundwater utilized by the school contained very high concentrations of iron (Fe), resulting in a a yellowish color, unpleasant odor, and suspended particles that reduce clarity due to oxidation of dissolved iron into brown or yellow solids, thereby significantly lowering water quality and posing health risks for students who consume it daily. To address this issue, the Doktor Mengabdi Team from Universitas Brawijaya implemented a multi-layer filtration system using affordable local materials such as silica sand, activated carbon, zeolite, and manganese greensand, designed to remove contaminants including dissolved iron, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals. The results showed that iron concentration decreased by more than 80%, turbidity reduced from 30 NTU to 2 NTU, and pH increased from 5.8 to 6.8, while microbiological testing confirmed a significant reduction in E. coli and total coliform, indicating that the filtered water is safe for use. Thus, the application of this multi-layer filtration system not only improves water quality but also creates a healthier environment that supports more effective learning activities
