The Meaning of Student Experience in Service Learning-Based Learning in the Playdate Course to Foster Social Entrepreneurship in Early Childhood Education
This study aims to understand the meaning of PIAUD students' experiences in service learning-based learning in the Playdate course to foster social entrepreneurship values. A phenomenological qualitative approach was used to explore the subjective experiences of 12 students who were purposively selected based on their level of involvement and reflective articulation skills. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis identified four main themes: the transformation of understanding of social entrepreneurship from a profit orientation to a social impact orientation; the development of professional competencies through the improvement of communication and leadership skills; meaningful experiential learning through the integration of theory and practice; and the formation of a professional identity oriented towards community service. The Playdate Library Tour program, which reached 300 children from seven early childhood education institutions, provided students with authentic experiences in developing values of empathy, social responsibility, innovation, and sustainability. The Kolb experiential learning cycle has proven effective in transforming concrete experiences into deep learning through a structured reflection process. Research findings show that service learning can be an effective learning model for preparing early childhood education teachers who are not only academically qualified but also possess a spirit of social entrepreneurship for sustainable education. Further research recommendations include involving a more diverse range of participants, using a mixed methods approach for greater comprehensiveness, and conducting longitudinal studies to trace the long-term impact of service learning on PIAUD graduates.

Uncovering the Hidden Relationship Between Crypto Prices and Mining Stocks: Evidence from ANTM and TINS
The high volatility of the crypto market has raised questions about its potential impact on other financial instruments, including shares of mining sector issuers. This study aims to reveal the relationship between the price of crypto assets, especially Bitcoin, and the stock price movements of two major mining issuers in Indonesia, namely Antam (ANTM) and Tin (TINS). The analysis was carried out with a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression analysis method, to test the influence of the price of bitcoin on each stock. The results of the analysis show the direction of a positive and significant relationship between the price of Bitcoin and ANTM shares with a regression coefficient of 0.008776. This value indicates that any increase in the price of Bitcoin is potentially followed by an increase in the price of ANTM's shares, with a contribution of variation of 45% (R² = 0.45). Meanwhile, the influence on TINS shares was also positive but weaker, with a regression coefficient of 0.004999 and a contribution of variation of 28% (R² = 0.28). These findings indicate that the crypto market could be one of the external factors influencing the dynamics of real sector stocks, especially those related to metal commodities. The conclusion of this study confirms the importance of including crypto variables in the risk analysis and investment strategies of mining sector stocks due to the adoption of blockchain technology that requires such commodities.

Analysis of Factors Influencing Sleep Quality in Adolescents Using a Binary Scale
Poor sleep quality in teenagers can cause negative psychological effects such as poor concentration and irritability, making teenagers feel sad, angry or stressed more than usual. The aim of this research is to identify factors that influence adolescent sleep quality, mainly related to sleep hygiene variables, sleep disorders, physical condition, and use of sleeping pills. The sample used in the research was 884 teenagers, using a cluster random sampling technique spread across several cities in East Java. The data analysis technique used is binary logistic regression to identify factors that influence the sleep quality of teenagers on a binary scale. The results of the research show that the factors that have a significant influence on the quality of sleep in adolescents are sleep hygiene, sleep disorders, physical condition, and partial or simultaneous use of sleeping pills. The model obtained shows that increasing sleep hygiene variables and physical condition increases the chances of good sleep quality.
