Auditory hallucinations are one of the main symptoms experienced by patients with schizophrenia. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as spiritual therapy, serve as important alternatives to support treatment. One increasingly used method is the recitation of Qur’anic verses (murottal therapy), which provides psychological and spiritual calming effects.  To determine the impact of murottal audio therapy of Surah Ar-Rahman on the intensity of auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia at Gramesia Nursing Home, Cirebon.  This scientific paper is presented in the form of a nursing care report focusing on the application of murottal audio therapy using Surah Ar-Rahman as an intervention.  Before the therapy, the patient experienced moderate auditory hallucinations, accompanied by intense emotional reactions and difficulty controlling behavior. After undergoing murottal audio therapy, there was a decrease in hallucination intensity and improvement in the patient’s emotional condition. Murottal audio therapy of Surah Ar-Rahman is effective as a non-pharmacological approach to reduce auditory hallucinations and support psychological recovery in patients with schizophrenia. Following the intervention, patients reported a significant decrease in the intensity of their hallucinations. Emotional reactions were notably less intense, and patients displayed improved emotional regulation and greater behavioral control. The results suggest that murottal audio therapy using Surah Ar-Rahman is an effective non-pharmacological intervention that not only reduces the intensity of auditory hallucinations but also plays a supportive role in the psychological recovery of patients with schizophrenia. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating spiritual therapies into comprehensive treatment plans, as they offer a holistic approach to managing schizophrenia. This intervention can complement traditional pharmacological treatments, providing patients with a sense of spiritual calm and emotional stability, which can enhance their overall mental health and well-being.

Digital transformation in education demands a fundamental shift in the role of teachers from traditional instructors to modern learning facilitators who are adaptive, creative, innovative, and responsive to the latest technological developments. This research aims to explore in depth the multidimensional role of economics teachers in optimizing visual learning media to increase students' interest in learning in the digital era, especially at SMAN 1 Lewolema in the 2024/2025 academic year. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved one economics teacher and 23 students of class X through observation, interviews, and comprehensive documentation. The results show that teachers play the role of innovative learning designers, interactive facilitators who encourage active participation, motivators who arouse the spirit of learning, and innovators who make effective use of visual media. The integration of visual learning media is carried out with a contextual and interactive approach, so that it is able to transform the student learning experience holistically. The positive impacts identified include an increase in the affective dimension through a sense of pleasure, a cognitive dimension through a better understanding of the material, and a conative dimension through increased focus, interest, and motivation of students to learn. However, the implementation of the use of visual learning media cannot be separated from various challenges. Obstacles that arise include the limitations of technology infrastructure in schools, the gap in teachers' digital competencies, and the diversity of students' psychological characteristics that affect acceptance of new methods. This research makes a theoretical contribution to understanding the dynamics of educational technology integration in Indonesia, as well as offering a practical blueprint for schools with limited resources.

Job satisfaction is a crucial indicator in achieving optimal employee performance. Satisfied employees tend to be more productive and perform better in their roles. Various factors affect job satisfaction, including career development and work-life balance. Career development provides direction and motivation for employees to reach higher career levels, enhancing their sense of achievement and attachment to their work. Meanwhile, work-life balance plays an essential role in maintaining a balance between work responsibilities and personal life. A good balance helps prevent stress, burnout, and improves overall employee well-being. This study aims to examine the impact of career development and work-life balance on job satisfaction among production employees in the Speaker Department at PT X. The research used a quantitative method with a causal associative approach. Total sampling was applied, involving 71 respondents from the department. Data were collected through direct observation and questionnaires focusing on employees' perceptions of career development and their work-life balance. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 with various statistical tests, including validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, f-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that both career development and work-life balance positively and significantly influence job satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. These two factors collectively impact the job satisfaction levels of employees in the company. These findings offer strategic insights for human resource management, which can be used to design better policies that support employee satisfaction and performance.

This study examines the application of the ultra petita principle in decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, focusing on the case study of Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. The ultra petita principle is classically understood as a prohibition for judges to rule beyond what is explicitly requested by the parties to the case. However, in practice, the Constitutional Court often uses this principle flexibly to ensure substantive justice and the effective protection of citizens' constitutional rights. This shows how constitutional adjudication in Indonesia tends to prioritize substantive justice over procedural limitations. This thesis aims to analyze the legal basis used by the Constitutional Court when deciding ultra petita cases, while also examining the resulting legal implications for the administrative system of lawmaking in Indonesia. Using a normative legal approach, this study finds that the Constitutional Court positions itself as the sole interpreter of the constitution with progressive authority. In this sense, the Court's decisions may expand its role beyond the traditional boundaries of judicial authority. However, the Constitutional Court's ultra petita practice has the potential to raise concerns about judicial overreach. Ultra petita decisions not only resolve constitutional disputes but also have the potential to create new legal norms that can directly influence the legislative process and even change the structure of national law. Such outcomes raise the question of how to maintain a balance between judicial activism and legislative supremacy. Therefore, it is crucial to establish clear legal boundaries to ensure the Court remains within the constitutional framework, upholds the principle of checks and balances, and prevents conflicts of authority between branches of state power. Therefore, this research contributes to the academic understanding of the dynamics of the Constitutional Court's authority and the urgency of strengthening the rules of the game in maintaining harmony in the Indonesian state system.

Stunting remains a significant health problem in rural areas, particularly due to the lack of father involvement in child care. The “Bapakku Hebat” program initiated by the Omben Health Center emerged as a breakthrough to strengthen the role of fathers in stunting prevention efforts through family health posts. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate the implementation, effects, and barriers of the program. The research findings indicated an increase in father involvement in health post activities, nutrition counseling, and child health monitoring. The program successfully reduced the prevalence of stunting risk by 10% in a year by increasing health post coverage and changing family behavior in providing nutrition. Key driving factors included inter-sectoral collaboration with village governments, health cadres, and farming communities that strengthened social networks and local resources. However, challenges remain, such as budget constraints, a lack of male cadres, and the influence of cultural norms that consider childcare as a woman’s responsibility. The “Bapakku Hebat” program shows that active father involvement can increase family awareness of the importance of fulfilling children’s nutrition. These findings emphasize the importance of gender-sensitive family health policies and cross-sectoral support to ensure the sustainability of the program. This research is expected to be a reference for other regions in implementing similar innovations to reduce the prevalence of stunting and improve the quality of child care. Furthermore, the success of the "My Great Father" program also demonstrates the importance of a community-based approach in public health interventions. The direct involvement of community leaders, religious leaders, and farmer groups in the program's outreach and implementation has proven effective in building a sense of ownership and increasing active community participation, particularly among fathers.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in science education on students’ environmental literacy and science communication skills at SMK Negeri 3 Pekanbaru, focusing on the topic of disaster mitigation. The research employed a causal comparative approach with a post-test only design, comparing two student groups: an experimental class using the PBL model and a control class using conventional teaching. The results revealed a significant difference in environmental literacy, with the experimental class achieving a higher average score (81.86) compared to the control class (62.05). This indicates that the PBL model is effective in enhancing students' understanding, awareness, and environmentally responsible behavior. The PBL approach encourages active student engagement and the application of knowledge to real-world scenarios, which is particularly beneficial in the context of environmental issues and disaster mitigation. By working through problems related to environmental challenges, students are likely to gain a deeper understanding of the topic, which fosters a sense of responsibility towards environmental sustainability. In terms of science communication, although the experimental class showed a higher average score (75.78) than the control class (72.92), the difference was not statistically significant. This may be due to a lack of intensive training in scientific discussions and presentations. While PBL encourages collaborative problem-solving and idea-sharing, students may still require more structured practice in presenting and communicating their findings clearly and persuasively. The integration of more structured activities focusing on science communication skills could further enhance the effectiveness of the PBL model. Overall, the PBL model demonstrates positive potential in improving both environmental literacy and science communication. However, to achieve its full impact, its implementation must be consistent, with a focus on providing students with additional opportunities to develop their communication skills.

This study aims to analyze the effective role of the Al-Qurtuby Islamic Boarding School in shaping the character of students. As one of the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, the Islamic boarding school holds a very strategic position in developing the morals and ethics of the younger generation, especially amidst the increasing moral crisis that is occurring in the modern era. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation so as to be able to describe the reality of the character formation of students in depth. The results show that the Al-Qurtuby Islamic Boarding School has three main functions: as a transmission of Islamic knowledge, a preserver of Islamic traditions, and a center for the development of prospective ulama (Islamic scholars). These three functions contribute significantly to fostering a character of peace, tolerance, independence, and a sense of responsibility in students. The character formation process is carried out through various methods, including the exemplary behavior of kyai (Islamic clerics) and ustaz (Islamic teachers), habituation in daily activities, and the provision of educational advice and sanctions. Supporting factors for the formation of students' character at this boarding school include the students' high internal motivation to learn, maintained discipline, and a conducive Islamic boarding school environment full of religious values. However, this study also identified inhibiting factors, such as student boredom due to busy schedules, limited facilities, and the challenge of adapting to changing times that demand innovation in teaching methods. The implications of this research are that it provides information for Islamic boarding school administrators in designing more effective strategies for developing character education, while also serving as a reference for other Islamic educational institutions wishing to adopt a similar approach. Thus, Islamic boarding schools remain relevant in producing a generation with noble character capable of facing future social and moral challenges.

This study discusses the implementation of consumer law in the context of gold investment through PT X's digital application and the consumer protection guarantee mechanisms presented in the system. The research method used is normative juridical, namely a method that emphasizes the study of applicable positive legal norms, legal doctrine, and the application of relevant legal principles. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of consumer law in digital-based gold investment has been carried out in accordance with contractual principles as stipulated in civil law and in line with the provisions of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. In practice, gold investment transactions through the X application are carried out with a mixed agreement containing elements of sale and purchase, deposit, and pawn. This is an important basis because the legal relationship between consumers and companies is not only a single transaction, but a combination that requires guaranteed protection of consumer rights. The legal basis for this mechanism is reflected in the X Digital Application Operational Guidelines Number 28 of 2024, which detailed administrative procedures, application usage requirements, and the implementation of consumer protection principles as stipulated in Articles 4, 7, 18, and 45 of the Consumer Protection Law. Thus, the implemented system not only emphasizes commercial aspects but also ensures a balance between the rights and obligations of consumers and businesses. This study highlights how digital transformation in financial services requires a robust legal framework to protect consumers from potential risks. Therefore, internal company regulations and guidelines play a strategic role in ensuring fairness and providing a sense of security for people investing in gold through digital applications.  

This study aims to analyze the influence of content marketing and live streaming on purchasing decisions for fashion products among Generation Z users of the TikTok platform. In the era of digitalization and social media dominance, TikTok has emerged as one of the most influential platforms shaping consumer behavior, particularly for the younger generation. The research adopts an associative quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey distributed to 102 respondents who actively use TikTok for fashion-related content. The collected data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 4 to test the hypothesized relationships between variables. The results indicate that both content marketing and live streaming significantly and positively affect purchasing decisions. The path coefficients of 0.361 for content marketing and 0.521 for live streaming demonstrate their substantial contribution. Furthermore, the research model yields an R-squared value of 0.640, suggesting that these two independent variables collectively explain 64% of the variance in purchasing decisions among Generation Z. In addition, the validity and reliability tests confirm that all constructs fulfill the eligibility criteria, reinforcing the robustness of the measurement model. These findings emphasize that content-based marketing strategies, when designed to be engaging, interactive, and visually appealing, are highly effective in fostering consumer interest and driving purchase intention. Live streaming, in particular, serves as a powerful marketing tool by offering real-time interaction, product demonstration, and a sense of authenticity that resonates strongly with Generation Z’s consumption patterns. The implications of this research highlight the strategic importance for fashion brands to optimize their digital marketing practices by integrating creative content marketing and live streaming features on TikTok.

This article examines the crucial role of spatial communication, particularly through signage systems, in the effective implementation of functional zoning in academic libraries. Using a comparative case study method at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and Telkom University Libraries, this research analyzes how different visual communication strategies influence students' perceptions, behaviors, and sense of place formation.The findings indicate that the explicit and strategic visual communication approach at Telkom University successfully creates high spatial legibility and strengthens collective place identity. In contrast, the weak and ambiguous visual communication at the ITB Library causes users to rely more on personal habits, intuition, or previous experiences in accessing and utilizing the space. This not only hinders the formation of a coherent sense of place but also creates confusion that potentially degrades the quality of the user experience. The mismatch between spatial functions and user expectations leads to inefficiencies in facility utilization and disrupts user comfort within zones that should have clear functional boundaries, such as quiet zones, collaborative zones, and discussion zones. Furthermore, this article highlights the importance of integrating graphic design and architecture in creating a cohesive spatial experience. A consistently designed, informative, and aesthetically pleasing signage system not only enhances users' spatial orientation but also becomes a crucial element in shaping perceptions of the institution's character.

The research approach used is qualitative with case study design, which allows researchers to understand the phenomenon in depth in a real context. The Data was collected through in-depth interviews with eight informants, consisting of directors, field heads, room heads, and implementing staff, so that diverse perspectives were obtained from various levels of management and implementers. The data analysis process is carried out through three main stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion/verification. The results showed that transformational leadership strategies in Masohi hospital include exemplary, inspirational motivation, innovative thinking encouragement, and attention to individual employee needs. Implementation of this strategy can improve discipline, work ethic, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility of employees in providing services to patients. In addition, it was found that the work culture built through transformational leadership can strengthen organizational commitment and improve overall service quality. However, the implementation of this strategy is not free from challenges. The obstacles that arise include complex bureaucracy, managerial competence gaps between units, as well as resistance to change among staff. This challenge requires an adaptive approach and effective communication so that the strategy can run optimally. Overall, the findings of this study confirm that transformational leadership has a positive impact on strengthening work culture and improving service quality in regional hospitals. This research is expected to be a valuable input for the development of leadership and HR management policies, not only in Masohi hospital, but also in other regional hospitals that face similar challenges.

This study discusses how the application of media wealth by MTA TV's public relations in delivering da’wah messages through Instagram flyers on @mtatv_official in the period of 2021-2025. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, focusing on denotation, connotation, and myths. The findings reveal that MTA TV has effectively implemented four key elements of media wealth—signal diversity, language variations, personal sources, and regardless—through its use of Instagram flyers. These elements are designed to enhance the communication process, making the messages more engaging and accessible to the audience. The da’wah messages conveyed through the flyers are interpreted by the audience in three primary categories: invitation (76.67%), motivation (16.67%), and solidarity (6.67%). The majority of the audience interprets the messages as invitations to join or engage in religious activities, highlighting the importance of outreach and engagement in MTA TV's approach. The motivational aspect encourages positive actions and attitudes towards religious teachings, while solidarity, though less prevalent, emphasizes the sense of community and support within the Muslim audience. The use of media wealth on social media platforms like Instagram is shown to increase the effectiveness of da’wah messages by making them more visually appealing, interactive, and relatable to a wide audience. This study suggests that employing rich media content, such as Instagram flyers, can play a vital role in enhancing the reach and impact of religious communication. It also underscores the importance of understanding the semiotic elements in shaping how messages are interpreted by different segments of the audience, making it a valuable tool for religious organizations aiming to modernize their communication strategies.

This community service has the main purpose of building community character through sports activities in commemoration of the Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia (HUT RI) in Gatak Gede Hamlet. The commemoration of the Indonesian Independence Day is not just an annual ceremony, but a momentum to foster a sense of love for the homeland and strengthen social ties between citizens. The background of this activity is based on the importance of instilling character values such as sportsmanship, togetherness, discipline, and the spirit of nationalism. These values are believed to be developed effectively through enjoyable physical activities, involving all levels of society, and having a positive impact on social life. The method of implementing the activity was carried out in a healthy way which was followed by participants from various circles, ranging from children, adolescents, to adults who live in Gatak Gede Hamlet, Kateguhan, Sawit, Boyolali. Healthy walking was chosen because it is a simple sports activity that is easy to do, can reach a wide range of ages, and has great benefits both physically and socially. In addition, healthy walks are a means of joint recreation that can give rise to positive interactions between residents, thereby fostering a sense of togetherness. The goals to be achieved through this activity are to strengthen social relations, strengthen the spirit of mutual cooperation, and instill the value of togetherness in the community. Healthy walks carried out in the framework of the Indonesian Independence Day have proven to be an effective means to build positive character, foster a sense of unity, and improve physical health.

The crime of fraud is a form of crime that not only causes material loss, but also has an impact on the intangible losses experienced by the victim, such as loss of sense of security, trust, and social stability. Fraud also has the potential to disrupt public order and reduce public trust in the legal system. Therefore, law enforcement against this criminal act is an important aspect in maintaining legal certainty and a sense of justice. This study aims to analyze the form of law enforcement against perpetrators of fraud crimes by focusing on the factors that cause perpetrators to commit fraud and the judge's considerations in imposing judgments. The case studied refers to Decision Number: 99/Pid.B/2024/PN.Tjk. The research method uses a normative juridical approach, by examining laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and case studies through the analysis of court decisions. The results of the study show that the legal provisions regarding fraud have been regulated in Article 378 of the Criminal Code (KUHP). However, implementation in the field is often constrained by limited evidence, the increasingly diverse modus operandi of perpetrators, and low legal awareness of the public. The judge in considering the verdict not only pays attention to the juridical aspect, but also takes into account the social and psychological impact on the victim. As a recommendation, this study emphasizes the importance of increasing coordination between law enforcement officials to strengthen the investigation and evidence process. The use of digital technology, especially in the collection of electronic evidence, is a strategic step in dealing with modern fraud modes. In addition, legal education to the public needs to be improved to foster legal awareness and prevent fraud crimes in the future.

This study examines the institutional discourse and administrative practices of the Secretariat of the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) in the newly established province of Southwest Papua, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative content analysis approach, the research analyzes a corpus of official documents produced between 2022 and 2025, with particular attention to how the principles of good governance—transparency, accountability, participation, and effectiveness—are reflected and operationalized in a transitional bureaucratic setting. The findings reveal that while procedural transparency and organizational effectiveness are relatively well-articulated in formal documents, mechanisms for accountability and citizen participation remain underdeveloped and largely symbolic. This indicates that the new administrative structures are still in the process of consolidating practices that meaningfully incorporate civic engagement. The study further identifies significant patterns of institutional isomorphism, wherein bureaucratic templates, legal frameworks, and administrative routines from older provincial governments are mimicked and reproduced. Although such imitation provides a sense of stability and legitimacy, it may come at the expense of local relevance and the incorporation of context-specific innovations. In particular, reliance on inherited bureaucratic models risks marginalizing indigenous governance traditions and community-driven practices that could enhance inclusivity and responsiveness. The analysis underscores the performative and symbolic dimensions of governance during periods of institutional formation, highlighting the tension between adopting established administrative norms and fostering context-sensitive practices tailored to the realities of frontier provinces. Methodologically, the study demonstrates the value of document analysis in capturing governance dynamics where field access is limited, politically sensitive, or constrained by security issues. The study concludes by offering practical recommendations: strengthening participatory frameworks to ensure more substantive public involvement, integrating indigenous governance values to enhance legitimacy, and designing flexible policy models that can adapt to the unique sociopolitical challenges of Southwest Papua. In doing so, the research contributes both to the broader scholarship on governance in post-conflict and frontier regions and to the practical debates on institutional development in Indonesia’s newest province.

This study aims to describe the application of the Jigsaw Learning method in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMP 3 Sendana and to identify the advantages and obstacles encountered during the learning process. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the application of the Jigsaw Learning method can increase student activeness, strengthen group cooperation, and help understand the material more deeply and comprehensively. In this activity, students not only act as recipients of information from the teacher, but also as conveyors of material to their group mates. The process of sharing information between members encourages students to be more active in seeking out, understanding, and explaining the concepts being studied. In addition, this method also creates a collaborative and enjoyable learning atmosphere, due to the positive social interactions between students. This can increase a sense of responsibility and concern for the success of the group. However, in its implementation, several obstacles were found that require attention. Some of these include limited study time within the available lesson hours, inequality in contributions between group members which sometimes results in an uneven workload, and a lack of student readiness to understand the material independently before the group discussion process takes place. Despite the challenges, these obstacles can be minimized through effective classroom management, such as balanced group division, motivation, and intensive teacher support throughout the learning process. With the right strategy, Jigsaw Learning remains an effective and relevant method for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, as it encourages the achievement of learning objectives in a participatory, active, and enjoyable manner. Therefore, this method is a worthy alternative to cooperative learning that can improve the quality of religious education at the junior high school level.
