Micro businesses play an important role in increasing and equalizing community income so as to realize national stability, because this business can expand employment opportunities. However, micro businesses are not free from various obstacles, especially obstacles in the management of business finances that are not yet effective. Many micro businesses have not been able to implement 4 indicators of financial management, namely planning, recording, reporting and control. This study aims to determine the Financial Management of Micro Business Ampera Restaurant in Simpang Baru Village, Pekanbaru City. This type of research is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data sources were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation involving 10 informants. The results of the study indicate that Financial Management at Ampera Restaurant in Simpang Baru Village, Pekanbaru City is not optimal. Of the 4 indicators of financial management, only the planning indicator can be said to be good. This is due to the lack of knowledge and limited human resources in recording, reporting and controlling. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information to improve financial management for micro-entrepreneurs.

Communication within the family is an important foundation in shaping children's character and mindset, especially when facing conflicts or sensitive issues such as teenage pregnancy. The film Dua Garis Biru by Gina S. Noer realistically depicts the dynamics of communication between family members when faced with surprising and stressful situations. This study aims to examine how family communication patterns are represented in the film, and how these communication messages reflect the social conditions of Indonesian society. This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, especially in scenes showing interactions between the main characters and their respective parents. The results of the study show that this film represents a family communication pattern that is authoritative, closed, but slowly develops into a more open and empathetic one along with the ongoing conflict. The film Dua Garis Biru not only presents teenage conflicts, but also reflects the importance of openness and emotional support in family communication. This representation can be a reflection for parents and teenagers in building healthy and solution-oriented communication within the family.

The implementation of police discretion in the process of investigating criminal defamation cases shows that discretion is an important instrument for police officers in assessing, determining, and following up on a criminal report based on urgency, public interest, and the principles of proportionality and professionalism. In cases of defamation, which are often subjective and private, discretion allows investigators to consider various factors such as motive, impact, and the possibility of resolution outside the criminal path. Factors Affecting the Implementation of Police Discretion in the Process of Investigating Criminal Defamation Cases show that discretion is not carried out absolutely, but is influenced by various internal and external factors, namely: Legal and Regulatory Aspects, Case Characteristics, Professionalism and Ethics of Investigators, Social and Environmental Pressure, Facilities and Resources. Police Discretion should be regulated more clearly in positive law other than Law Number 2 of 2002 and the Criminal Procedure Code so that the principles of Legal Certainty and Respect for Human Rights are more apparent. Police offices need to provide special facilities such as mediation rooms that are neutral, comfortable, and support the creation of a dialogical atmosphere between the disputing parties. Increasing the number of investigators and managing a more balanced workload will provide space for investigators to consider the discretionary path more seriously without sacrificing work efficiency. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for discretion at the Polres level needs to be adjusted to local socio-cultural characteristics. In Gorontalo, for example, a legal approach that is sensitive to family values and customs must be officially accommodated in work procedures.

Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in global economic growth. However, not all entrepreneurs achieve success. This study aims to deeply examine the mindset and character that serve as the fundamental basis for entrepreneurial success, as well as the influencing factors and strategies for fostering these qualities based on a literature review. Through a literature review method, it was found that successful entrepreneurs possess a growth mindset, are solution-oriented, and adaptive, supported by specific thinking methods like BETSCA (Bricolage, Effectuation, Think Structurally, Cognitive Adaptability). Furthermore, key characters such as commitment, creativity, resilience, risk-taking propensity, and networking ability are crucial elements. The study also identified various driving factors and types of motivation (intrinsic-extrinsic) in entrepreneurship. Another important finding is that the entrepreneurial spirit and character can be learned and developed through personal commitment, a supportive environment, education, and continuous learning processes. The conclusion of this study asserts that the combination of the right mindset and strong character, along with the ability to continuously develop both, is essential for increasing the chances of success in the world of entrepreneurship.

In the era of Industry 4.0, optimizing fluid flow systems in smart factories is essential to improve energy efficiency and operational stability. Traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations provide accurate fluid flow analysis but require extensive computational resources and long processing times, making real-time applications challenging. To address this limitation, this study aims to develop an AI-based predictive model for CFD simulations, utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) to accelerate the estimation of fluid flow characteristics in industrial environments. The research methodology involves generating CFD simulation datasets, preprocessing data, and training AI models to predict key fluid parameters such as pressure, velocity, and temperature. The evaluation results show that CNN achieves a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.0025 and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.05, outperforming XGBoost, which records an MSE of 0.0030 and an RMSE of 0.055. Moreover, CNN predicts fluid dynamics in just 15.2 seconds, while XGBoost achieves results in 10.5 seconds, compared to the 1200.5 seconds required by traditional CFD simulations. These findings highlight the potential of AI in reducing computation time by over 98%, making real-time fluid flow analysis feasible in industrial settings. This study contributes to the advancement of AI-integrated CFD modeling, demonstrating that AI can significantly enhance the efficiency of fluid dynamics analysis without compromising accuracy. Future research should focus on expanding AI models to handle more complex flow conditions and integrating AI with smart factory design tools for real-time optimization

Black rice (Oryza sativa L.) contains nutrients and bioactive compounds with potential application in health, including antimicrobial properties. To date, the application of fermentation to black rice to enhance its bioactivity, particularly as an antimicrobial, remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of solid fermented black rice against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. Black rice was fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae under solid-state conditions. Extraction was carried out by maceration using 96% ethanol. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using the well diffusion test method, agar dilution, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fermented black rice extract showed antimicrobial activity against all tested microbes. The minimum inhibitory value obtained was 20% against all microbes, but the minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC) could not be determined. The SEM analysis showed morphological changes in microbes exposed to fermented black rice extract, including cell shrinkage, elongation, and lysis in Bacillus cereus, fragmentation and irregular cell shape in Escherichia coli, cell size reduction in Staphylococcus aureus, and bleb formation in Candida albicans. These changes indicate the mechanism of microbial growth inhibition. We found that fermented black rice (EFBR) extracts produce different effects from unfermented black rice extracts (EUBR), which tend to induce biofilm formation. We propose that EFBR functions as an antimicrobial by rupturing cell walls, preventing cell division and DNA synthesis. This research provides new insights into natural antimicrobial mechanisms at the cellular level and offers a potential alternative for addressing antimicrobial resistance. Solid fermented black rice may serve as a valuable source of antimicrobial compounds for developing health products or natural preservatives.

This systematic review aimed to contribute to insights into the vital role of implementing independent ICT tools in teaching with video-conferencing (VC). The study focused on what technological tools EFL teachers’ use in VC-based contexts, how and why teachers use these tools, and the impact of the tools on the development of students’ language skills. The analysis of 64 studies published between 2010 and 2022 indicated that teachers mostly use learning management systems and various additional tools such as PowerPoint slides, websites, and online quizzes. The results also indicate that the number of studies that targeted speaking skills was higher than those that focused on other skills, with reading being investigated by very few studies. Concerning the challenges, a lack of digital preparedness on the part of both students and teachers was reported. The impact of these tools was mostly positive in terms of raising the interaction and communication elements along with skills improvement. The findings can be beneficial for EFL teachers, course designers and EFL trainers in VC-based contexts by developing their awareness of the necessity of implementing specific technological tools to gain the expected skills-related outcomes.
