A Semiotic Study the Oral Tradition of the Penganjak Kuda Sitajur in Kulcapi Accompaniment in Karo Society
No full textThe study examines the oral tradition of "Penganjak Kuda Sitajur," prevalent in the
Karo community, with a focus on the semiotics of narrative and the role of the
musical instrument kulcapi as a supporting medium in storytelling. This tradition
reflects the cultural, social, and religious values of the Karo community through the
heroic tales of the Sitajur character, narrated musically. Using a qualitative
approach with ethnographic methods, the research relies on primary data from
interviews, observations, and direct documentation in the field. The semiotic
theories of Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes are employed to decode denotative,
connotative, and mythical meanings conveyed in this tradition. The findings reveal
that "Penganjak Kuda Sitajur" is not merely an oral narrative but a cultural
expression imbued with values of character education and local wisdom. The
kulcapi plays a vital role in enhancing emotional depth and narrative structure,
making this tradition unique among other forms of oral traditions. The study
highlights that despite changes in form and medium, the essence and moral
messages of the tradition remain preserved and continuously revitalized by the Karo
society.193 PagesTesis Magiste
Between Expectations and Reality: A Case Study of the Ria-ria Village Community Affected by Agrarian Conflict through the Lens of Relative Deprivation Theory
No full textThe National Strategic Program of the Food Estate in North Sumatra, located in Ria-ria Village, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, was initially promised to improve community welfare but instead triggered agrarian conflicts in the form of horizontal disputes, uncertainty over customary land rights, and social tensions. These have become the primary reasons for the emergence of relative deprivation among the community. Relative deprivation is a psychological condition caused by the disparity between expectations and reality, which can lead to dissatisfaction, protest actions, and even frustration. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, employing in-depth interviews and field observations, with purposive sampling as the sampling technique. Findings reveal that the conflict began with overlapping land claims between Ria-ria Village and the neighboring village, Parsingguran I, due to the involvement of the neighboring village as the manager of Ria-ria’s customary land, which had been recognized in the Decree of the Regent of North Tapanuli No. 138/Kpts/1979. The people of Ria-ria responded with collective actions in the form of protests, which escalated into violent clashes in 2024. Inequality in legal resolutions, unequal treatment between villages, and minimal participation in decision-making processes gave rise to relative deprivation as a reaction to perceived injustice. The findings indicate that participants exhibit characteristics of relative deprivation, including fraternalistic, decremental, and aspirational types. This research is not intended to generalize the findings to a wider population.149 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
The Relationship between Work Environment and Motivation with Nurse Performance at Mitra Medika Amplas Hospital
No full textNurse performance is one of the critical factors in determining the quality of nursing services in hospitals. A supportive work environment and high motivation can influence the quality and effectiveness of nurses in carrying out their duties. This study aims to determine the relationship between work environment and motivation with nurse performance at Mitra Medika Amplas Hospital. This research employed a quantitative method with a correlational approach, conducted at Mitra Medika Amplas General Hospital from January to April 2025. The population consisted of all inpatient nurses, with a sample of 73 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product–moment correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the Pearson correlation test indicated a significant relationship between work environment and nurse performance at Mitra Medika Amplas Hospital with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05, and a significant relationship between motivation and nurse performance with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the most influential variable on nurse performance was motivation (β = 0.608).212 PagesTesis Magiste
Analysis Of Bureaucratic Culture In The Communication And Informatics Office Of Pematangsiantar City In Realizing Smart City.
No full textThis study examines the influence of bureaucratic culture in the Pematangsiantar
City Communication and Informatics Office on the implementation of the smart city
program, particularly how internal bureaucratic values support or hinder digital
transformation. A qualitative ethnographic approach was used through in-depth
interviews, participant observation, and field documentation within the office. The
results show that a familial culture strengthens cooperation and technology
adaptation, but there is a dependency on leadership figures, political influence in
appointments, and inequality between permanent employees and contract workers.
The monitoring system is implemented through leaders, technology, and digital
complaint channels, although its effectiveness is not optimal. These findings
emphasize that the success of a smart city depends not only on technological
readiness, but also on changes in values, work patterns, and bureaucratic structures
to be more adaptive and accountable.122 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Various Forms of Human-Animal Co-Existence Practice cases for Adaptation to Tapanuli Orangutan Habitat (Pongo tapanuliensis)
No full textThe Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) is a Critically Endangered species. During certain seasons, this species often forages and nests on community lands. Conflicts that arise can cause economic losses for the community and also threaten the conservation of the Tapanuli orangutan, whose population is very limited. The involvement of all parties is necessary to mitigate and manage conflicts in a sustainable manner. The study of various practice case bentuks of human-orangutan co-existence can be a strategy in minimizing conflict and providing economic opportunities for the community. One of the strategies to minimize conflict is by studying various practice case bentuks of human-orangutan co-existence. This study aims to identify locations where there are human-orangutan co-existence practice cases to be adapted to the Tapanuli orangutan habitat and to study various bentuks of human-orangutan co-existence to be adapted to the Tapanuli orangutan habitat.
Using field survey and interview methods, this study analyzed that orangutans, although often perceived as a threat to society due to their interaction with agricultural land, actually have significant benefits for nature and the surrounding ecosystem. The results showed that the human-orangutan co-existence practice case locations to be adapted to the Tapanuli orangutan habitat are the Sumatran orangutan in Bukit Lawang and the Sumatran orangutan in Ketambe village because these two locations are located in Sumatra and Aceh with tropical forest ecosystems that have similarities to the Tapanuli orangutan in Batang Toru. In addition, Bukit Lawang and Ketambe have relatively good human-orangutan co-existence practices, involving local communities in habitat conservation and management. In addition, the human-orangutan co-existence bentuk that can be adapted to the Tapanuli orangutan habitat integrates three main aspects, namely orangutan habitat conservation, sustainability-based ecotourism development, and the establishment of animal corridors to maintain ecosystem connectivity.95 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

The Use of Brown Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus cystidiosus) in Fermentation to Improve the Nutrition of Azolla pinnata as Animal Feed
No full textAzolla pinnata is a plant that usually grows on the surface of the water. Azolla is often found in rice fields and calm water surfaces. This plant is rich in protein and easy to digest, making it an affordable and sustainable feed alternative. The inhibiting factor in the use of azolla as animal feed is the high crude fiber content, so it is necessary to process it in the form of fermentation. This study aims to determine the content of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat, ash and BETN of azolla flour fermented using brown oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus cystidiosus). This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications. The added treatments were the addition of brown oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus cystidiosus) as much as 0% (P0), 3% (P1), 5% (P2) and 8% (P3). The results showed that the treatment had a very significant effect (P <0.01) on the content of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat, ash and BETN. The conclusion of the study was that fermentation of azolla flour with the addition of Pleurotus cystidiosus by 8% increased the quality of the nutritional content of crude protein, dry matter and extract without nitrogen and reduced the content of crude fiber, crude fat and ash content.51 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Constructing a Non-Formal Education Network for the People's School in Medan City: A Qualitative Study Based on Actor Network Theory on the Experiences and Challenges According to Stakeholders
No full textThis study aims to understand how Sikkola Rakyat functions as a form of
community-based non-formal education in Medan City. Sikkola Rakyat is present
as an alternative education for people who are not served by the formal education
system, especially children from underprivileged families. The results of the study
indicate that Sikkola Rakyat carries out its function through the collective work of
various actors and actants who are members of the social network. This study
uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, which focuses on
an in-depth understanding of the direct experiences of stakeholders, including
facilitators, teachers, students, and the community involved. Data collection
techniques are carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and
documentation. The research location includes three central points of Sikkola
Rakyat activities: Starban, Bandar Khalipah, and Jalur Hijau. Using the Actor-
Network Theory (ANT), it was found that the success of this program is influenced
by human and non-human involvement (such as curriculum, learning spaces, and
digital media), as well as the translation process that creates agreement and
collaboration between parties. However, Sikkola Rakyat faces challenges such as
limited funds, dependence on volunteers, and minimal formal policy support.162 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
Desain Baru Regale International Convention Center Medan dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Neo-Vernakular
No full textMedan City has been designated by the government as a MICE
destination, requiring further development to enhance its potential in this
sector. The MICE industry plays a crucial role in boosting national revenue and
stimulating Medan’s regional economy.
As Indonesia’s third-largest city, Medan is a key hub for business,
industry, and trade, making it highly attractive for national and international
MICE investments. To support these activities, the city needs a convention and
exhibition center equipped with comprehensive facilities to accommodate
various MICE events within a single, dedicated venue.
A Convention Center is a viable solution, offering meeting spaces that
cater to the MICE industry as well as business and industry professionals,
facilitating knowledge exchange through meetings, incentives, exhibitions,
conferences, and conventions. The proposed design will adopt a NeoVernacular Architecture approach, integrating local elements shaped by
tradition while incorporating modern innovations. This architectural style will
be reflected in the building’s form, façade, materials, and interior design. The
planned convention center will be the city’s only international-scale facility, with
approximately 80% of its design representing Medan’s rich cultural heritage.184 PagesSkripsi Sarjan
