Political communication based on Pancasila values serves as a crucial foundation for developing ethical and effective digital campaign strategies in Indonesia. The advancement of technology has transformed political campaigns from face-to-face interactions into digital engagements through social media, websites, and messaging applications. This study aims to analyze the application of Pancasila principles in digital political campaigns and evaluate their effectiveness in fostering ethical, people-centered political communication. Using a qualitative approach, this research employs content analysis of digital campaign materials from various political parties. The findings indicate that campaigns emphasizing values such as unity, humanity, social justice, and deliberation can enhance public participation, particularly among younger voters. Key success factors include information transparency, open dialogue, polite language use, and the provision of objective political education. Pancasila-based digital campaigns also help mitigate social polarization and strengthen public trust in the democratic process. Therefore, this model of political communication is worth adopting as a campaign approach that not only seeks electoral support but also reinforces a substantial and dignified democracy.

Results indicated a decline in responsible behavior from baseline 1 (A1) to baseline 2 (A2). However, from treatment 1 (B1) to treatment 2 (B2), there was an increase in responsible behavior. In conclusion, the economic token technique proved effective in improving the initiative to brush teeth in children.    

  Abstract. This study aims to determine how effective the Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) model is in increasing critical thinking in elementary schools. The Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) learning model is a way of learning that focuses on the use of critical thinking and social complexity to identify and resolve dilemmas. Critical intelligence means cognitive skills that demonstrate a high level of thinking skills, involving analysis, drawing conclusions, and assessing the problem-solving process, which is one of the important competencies in the 21st century. This study uses a quantitative approach using the Pratung Pre-Experimental design. The design applied is the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. After the treatment was given, the average homogeneous value obtained was 78.11, while the t-test results gave a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.00 with a significance level of 5%. These results indicate that sig (2-tailed) is less than 0.05, so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. This means that there is a significant disparity between the pretest and posttest. The conclusion of this study is an example of Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) learning that has effectiveness in improving critical thinking skills of students in PPKn subjects at Elementary School 1, class V, Natar District. In addition, the analysis with the n-gain test produced an n-gain of 0.511 which is classified as moderate, which strengthens the acceptance of the other method hypothesis (Hα). This confirms that there has been a significant disparity between the pretest and posttest, regarding the effectiveness of the Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) learning model on students' thinking skills in PPKn subjects at SDN 1, class V, Natar District.

Timbulan sampah di Kabupaten Bone Bolango menunjukkan tren peningkatan yang signifikan dari tahun ke tahun, seiring dengan pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk, ekspansi kawasan permukiman, dan aktivitas ekonomi masyarakat. Berdasarkan data dari Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Sampah Nasional (SIPSN), terjadi lonjakan volume sampah harian dari 2022 hingga 2024. Namun, peningkatan ini tidak diimbangi dengan kapasitas pengelolaan yang memadai, baik dari sisi infrastruktur, kelembagaan, maupun partisipasi masyarakat. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji model pengelolaan sampah berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Bone Bolango melalui pendekatan sistem, dengan merujuk pada literatur dan data sekunder. Metode analisis menggunakan pendekatan Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) dan Stock Flow Diagram (SFD) untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan kausal dan dinamika sistem pengelolaan sampah di daerah ini. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa akar permasalahan terletak pada lemahnya sinergi antar-pemangku kepentingan, kurangnya regulasi lokal, serta keterbatasan sarana pengolahan. Solusi strategis yang diusulkan meliputi pembangunan fasilitas TPS3R, penyusunan kebijakan persampahan daerah, pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui edukasi lingkungan dan bank sampah, serta penguatan kemitraan dengan sektor swasta dan lembaga non-pemerintah. Diharapkan, pendekatan integratif ini dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan model pengelolaan sampah yang efektif dan berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Bone Bolango.

Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan properti dan real estat mungkin menggunakan strategi alternatif untuk manajemen utang dan pertumbuhan aset tanpa menggunakan manipulasi laporan keuangan. Penelitian di masa depan harus mengeksplorasi faktor risiko penipuan tambahan dan mempertimbangkan periode pengamatan yang lebih lama untuk menangkap pola siklus potensial. Badan pengatur harus meningkatkan mekanisme pemantauan di luar persyaratan kepatuhan formal, sementara investor harus memasukkan model deteksi penipuan yang komprehensif saat mengevaluasi keputusan investasi di sektor properti.

This study examines how effective group counseling is in improving career maturity and decision-making of students and college students. Approaches such as Trait and Factor, CBT, and CIP as well as creative media such as career bags and IT support the service. The method used was a literature review. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze how effective group counseling services are in improving career readiness and maturity, as well as to determine its effect on learners' self-efficacy, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. The results showed that group counseling improved participants' career maturity, self-efficacy, and future planning, with a significant increase from pretest to posttest. The use of media and technology encouraged creativity and effectiveness of the services, although privacy and ethical issues still need to be addressed, especially for online services. In addition, external elements such as family and social environment influence. Therefore, group counseling-if conducted in a planned, flexible, sustainable, and appropriately evaluated manner-helps participants prepare for their careers.      

One of the causes of the high Maternal Mortality Rate (AKI) is long childbirth. If the delivery process lasts a long time, it can cause the mother to be exhausted because she runs out of energy. This results in inadequate uterine contractions (his) so that it can cause failure in the progress of labor. In addition to the inadequacy of uterine contractions (his), psychological conditions are also one of the factors that affect the length of labor progress. The psychological condition in question is the mother's perception of anxiety and pain during the childbirth process. One of the non-pharmacological therapies is self-healing , which is one of the methods used to manage emotions in order to avoid things that cause stress. This study aims to analyze the Effectiveness of Self-Healing to Reduce the Intensity of Pain in Maternal Mothers at PMB Winda Nainggolan, Hutabayu District, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra Province in 2024. This research method uses a quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental design research method in one group (one group prestest posttest). The research will be conducted in May 2024-July 2024. The sample size was 16 people with nonprobability sampling techniques. The data analysis used was using the Pairet t Test with an error value of α 0.05. The results of the study based on the output test statistics obtained a significance value of 0.000 which is smaller than the significance level of 5% (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). The conclusion of the study is that Ha is accepted, which means that there is an effect of self-healing on the reduction of Period I labor pain in Primigravida mothers at PMB Winda Nainggolan, Hutabayu District, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra Province in 2024. It is hoped that health workers can improve the quality of service, self-healing can be an intervention as one of the non-pharmacological therapies for maternal mothers.

The study presents 20 citations from scholarly journal articles as the basis for analysis. A descriptive qualitative literature study method was used. The findings indicate that both lobbying and negotiation contribute to the creation of more inclusive, efficient, and adaptive decisions in strategic environments.

This research examines the influence of effective communication on the success of lobbying and negotiation. Lobbying and negotiation, although differing in their approaches (lobbying is one-way persuasive, negotiation is interactive and involves bargaining), both aim to influence decisions or reach agreements. The success of both heavily relies on effective communication, which includes building relationships, understanding the interlocutor, and overcoming communication barriers. Effective communication strategies involve thorough planning, persuasive communication, conflict management, and understanding the context and interests of all parties. Literature studies show that effective communication is a key success factor, building trust, delivering persuasive messages, managing conflicts, building consensus, and understanding the needs of other parties. Persuasive, assertive, and nonverbal communication also play a crucial role in reaching mutually beneficial agreements. In conclusion, effective communication increases the chances of successful lobbying and negotiation.
