This programme confirms that social media–based digital business education can function as an effective instrument for empowering rural communities in responding to digital economic transformation.

Child grooming is a form of non-physical sexual abuse that involves gradual emotional manipulation, often making it difficult to detect. It typically begins with the abuser gaining the child’s trust and gradually introducing inappropriate behavior, with the goal of sexual exploitation. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of child grooming and the crucial role of guidance and counseling in preventing and managing such cases. The method employed is a literature review, analyzing various relevant scientific articles and research studies. The findings indicate that child grooming is influenced by several factors, including individual traits, family dynamics, and the use of digital media, which has become an increasingly prevalent platform for such abuse. Victims of grooming often experience significant psychological and social consequences, including trauma, emotional distress, and difficulty in forming healthy relationships. Guidance and counseling services are essential in the prevention, early detection, and intervention in grooming cases. These services provide support for both potential victims and their families, helping them understand and recognize the signs of grooming. Additionally, counseling plays a key role in victim recovery, offering psychological support to overcome the lasting impacts of abuse. This research underscores the need for proactive measures and comprehensive guidance and counseling strategies to address child grooming effectively.

The phenomenon of digital da'wah has significantly transformed the ways religious knowledge is accessed, interpreted, and disseminated in contemporary society. This study aims to analyze the patterns of actions and perceptions of TikTok and YouTube users toward religious content delivered by Gus Baha within the context of the digital religious space. Using Max Weber’s theory of rationalization as an analytical framework, this research explores how religious authority, knowledge transmission, and user interpretation undergo processes of rationalization on digital platforms.This study employs a qualitative approach using virtual ethnography, content analysis, and in-depth interviews with users of both platforms. Data were collected through observation of uploaded content, analysis of user interactions and comments, and examination of engagement dynamics.The findings indicate that user responses to Gus Baha’s content reflect Weber’s four types of social action. Instrumentally rational actions are evident in the use of short videos as practical and efficient learning tools. Value-oriented rational actions appear in users’ consistent efforts to deepen religious understanding. Affective actions emerge from emotional attachment to Gus Baha’s communicative style, while traditional actions are reflected in the perception of digital da'wah as a continuation of established religious learning traditions. Furthermore, digital rationalization through algorithms, short-video formats, and platform accessibility, shapes how religious knowledge is selected, interpreted, and circulated.This study concludes that digital religious spaces function not only as channels of dissemination but also as arenas for the transformation of religious authority, meaning construction, and religious practice in the digital era.

Digital transformation has significantly altered early childhood learning patterns. Platforms such as YouTube have become dominant media consumed by preschool children. Exposure to digital content during the golden age potentially affects moral development, as children remain in a critical phase of imitation and value internalization. This study aims to conceptually analyze the role of parents in assisting early childhood moral development amid YouTube exposure from an Islamic education perspective. The research employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review of reputable national and international journals published between 2020–2026. The analysis involves identification, inclusion-exclusion selection, thematic categorization, and critical synthesis. Findings reveal that effective moral development is strongly influenced by parental mediation patterns, including active mediation, screen-time limitation, Islamic value-based content selection, reflective dialogue, and digital role modeling. The study proposes an integrative Islamic-based digital parenting model combining modern moral development theory and Islamic tarbiyah principles. Theoretically, this study contributes by integrating family digital literacy with Islamic moral education within contemporary educational discourse.

Social media is one form of technological advancement that has become an integral part of students’ lives, including university students. Its use is not limited to communication and information sharing, but it may also generate psychological effects that influence both physical and mental health. The purpose of this review is to identify and explain the psychological impacts of social media use through appropriate theoretical approaches, which serve as a foundation for discussing the research findings. This study employs a literature review method by examining various academic books and relevant scientific articles. The findings indicate that excessive use of social media has the potential to cause psychological problems among university students, such as social comparison behavior, cyberbullying, decreased sleep quality, and reduced learning productivity. These issues are influenced by several factors, including the intensity of social media use, the type of content accessed, and individuals’ ability to manage emotions and time. Furthermore, uncontrolled social media use may lead to difficulties in social relationships, increased procrastination, poor time management, and reduced self-control in using social networking platforms. Therefore, students are encouraged to develop healthier patterns of social media use to reduce the risk of psychological disturbances. This review is also expected to assist healthcare professionals in understanding the relationship between the intensity of social media use and the occurrence of depressive symptoms among university students.

Nevertheless, the initial implementation of digitalization through the use of social media and online sales platforms has had a positive impact in the form of expanding market reach and increasing ease of communication between producers and consumers. Thus, the digitalization of corn coffe MSME products has great potential to increase competitiveness and business sustainability if implemented gradually and continuously. .

This study aims to demonstrate that a lack of curiosity is a fundamental factor influencing adolescents’ preference for social media over traditional news outlets. To examine this issue, the research employed a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative data gathered through questionnaires. A total of 30 informants participated and were categorized into two developmental groups: early adolescents aged 12–14 and middle adolescents aged 15–17. The questionnaire explored respondents’ curiosity levels, information-seeking habits, and motivations for choosing certain media platforms. The findings indicate that low curiosity significantly contributes to the preference for social media among early adolescents. At this stage, their interest in deeper information is still limited, making them more inclined toward fast, simple, and entertaining content. However, the hypothesis is less applicable to middle adolescents. Although they also frequently use social media, their media choices are influenced by additional factors such as peer dynamics, a growing sense of autonomy, and broader exposure to information from various sources. This difference suggests that the relationship between curiosity and media preference becomes more complex as adolescents mature. Overall, the study highlights that strategies to encourage critical information-seeking behavior must be tailored to adolescents’ developmental stages.

This study examines the implementation of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) at NailedShape, a Bali-based nail art micro-enterprise, as a strategy to foster customer loyalty. NailedShape operates under a home-service and home studio model, primarily using Instagram for promotion and customer engagement. The study utilizes a descriptive qualitative method, collecting data through interviews and observations with the owner, customers, and micro-influencers. The research findings show that NailedShape successfully employs IMC techniques, such as visual content, customer testimonials, and collaborations with digital influencers, to capture attention and create strong emotional connections with customers. This integrated approach helps in building a positive brand image and maintaining customer engagement. However, the study also highlights challenges, such as limited resources and frequent changes to social media algorithms, which hinder consistent communication and marketing efforts. Despite these obstacles, the study concludes that a well-executed IMC strategy remains effective in enhancing customer loyalty, reinforcing the importance of an integrated communication approach for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the beauty industry. By utilizing digital platforms effectively, NailedShape can compete in a highly dynamic market. The findings suggest that beauty-based MSMEs can benefit greatly from IMC in the digital era, as it not only enhances brand perception but also helps in building lasting customer relationships.

This study explores the integration of community driven learning practices in the adoption of educational technology and its impact on sustainability. With the rapid advancement of digital tools and platforms, higher education institutions have increasingly adopted online and hybrid learning models to enhance teaching and learning. However, despite the potential benefits, aligning institutional goals with community needs remains a significant challenge. This research utilizes a mixed methods approach, combining stakeholder surveys, policy analysis, and comparative case studies to evaluate the effectiveness of both top down and community aligned adoption models. The findings reveal that community driven models, which involve local stakeholders in the decision making process, lead to higher engagement, better adoption rates, and greater long term sustainability compared to top down approaches. Stakeholders, including educators, students, and administrators, reported that participatory decision making fostered a sense of ownership and ensured the relevance of adopted technologies. The study also identifies key sustainability factors, including participatory decision making, long term community engagement, and contextual relevance, which are crucial for ensuring that educational technologies remain effective and beneficial over time. However, challenges such as resistance to change, lack of resources, and unequal access to technology were found to hinder the successful implementation of sustainable models. The research concludes with practical recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers to adopt community aligned models and ensure equitable access to technology. Future research directions are suggested to further explore the balance between institutional innovation and community driven learning, with a focus on long term outcomes and the adaptability of these models across different educational contexts.

This study aims to analyze legal protection for lenders in the terms and conditions clauses of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending platforms in Indonesia, particularly regarding the risk of default or breach of contract. The background of the study is based on the rapid growth of the P2P Lending fintech industry accompanied by an increase in the risk of default, as well as the potential imbalance in the lenders' bargaining position due to the use of standard clauses that are often detrimental. The results of this study reveal that of the 10 P2P Lending platforms that the author studied, none of the platforms can be said to have completely fulfilled all components of preventive and repressive protection as regulated by POJK No. 40 of 2024. This problem is exacerbated by the existence of exoneration clauses prohibited by POJK No. 22 of 2023 Article 46 paragraph (2), where platforms often unilaterally limit their responsibilities by transferring the risk of default entirely to lenders, thereby reducing consumer rights and violating the principle of consumer protection in Law No. 8 of 1999 Article 18 paragraph (1).

The purpose of this scientific study is to examine the influence of review content and customer ratings on the trust of Uniwara Economics Education students in skincare products. The background of this study includes the increasing popularity of local skincare products and the shift in the behavior of young consumers who now rely more on reviews and ratings on various social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok when deciding to buy. Students, as a critical and digitally native generation, use online information as their main source for building trust in products. This study applies a quantitative method with an associative research design. The sample consists of 51 students from a total population of 105 students, determined through Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. Data for the study were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results of this study indicate that review content and customer ratings together have a positive and significant effect on student trust. In part, these two variables also significantly affect trust. The contribution of review content and customer ratings is 247% (as indicated by an Adjusted R Square value of 0.247), while the rest is influenced by other variables or factors outside the scope of this study. This research indicates that review content and customer ratings have both a partial and simultaneous effect on the trust of Uniwara Economics students in skincare products.
