This research examines the role of Pancasila as a philosophical pillar in strengthening Indonesian democracy and shaping just legal policies amidst the dynamics of legal changes. The research background highlights the challenges in actualizing Pancasila's values within the legal system, reflected in the incongruence of legal policies with the principle of justice, limited public participation, and obstacles in the era of globalization.

The findings indicate a mismatch between legal policies and Pancasila's values due to political factors, a lack of understanding, complex bureaucracy, and systemic injustice. Limited public participation in policy formulation also poses a constraint. The implications of this research underscore the need to enhance the understanding and internalization of Pancasila's values in the legal policy-making process, as well as to increase public participation to achieve a more just and democratic legal system in accordance with the ideals of Pancasila.  

Social media is not merely a space for entertainment. It has become part of students’ daily lives. Through these platforms, various values, ideologies, and discourses on nationalism circulate constantly. This study aims to examine how far social media contributes to the internalization of Pancasila values and the formation of nationalist character among university students. This research used a descriptive quantitative survey method. A total of 50 students from various majors served as respondents. They completed a questionnaire distributed via Google Form. The results show that 90% of students actively use social media. About 72% claim to have a nationalist attitude, and 76% show social concern. However, only 42% apply Pancasila values in their daily lives. Participation in community activities and national discussions is relatively low. Furthermore, 64% of respondents expressed disappointment toward state institutions. This disappointment is influenced by exposure to issues such as corruption allegations and controversial national policies. From these findings, it is clear that social media can serve as an educational platform, but it may also become an entry point for a crisis of trust. The internalization of Pancasila values has not yet been fully effective. There is a gap between understanding and actual behavior.

This study aims to systematically examine the influence of transformational leadership and organizational culture on nurses' performance in hospitals. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a qualitative approach. The findings indicate that transformational leadership has a significant impact on improving nurses’ performance, particularly through enhanced work motivation, job satisfaction, loyalty, and team effectiveness. Transformational leaders inspire nurses by providing a vision, encouraging innovation, and fostering a supportive environment that aligns with their values and goals. As a result, nurses exhibit increased commitment to their work, higher engagement levels, and a proactive attitude toward their tasks, leading to better overall performance. Organizational culture also plays a crucial role, especially values such as collaboration, human orientation, and integrity, which have been shown to support a positive work environment and nurse productivity. A culture that prioritizes teamwork, shared responsibility, and mutual respect enables nurses to work more cohesively and efficiently. Hospitals with a supportive and inclusive culture experience reduced turnover rates and higher job satisfaction, as nurses feel valued and respected within the organization. Additionally, when the culture encourages continuous learning and professional development, nurses are more likely to stay updated on best practices and provide high-quality care to patients. However, differences in findings across studies suggest the need for contextual understanding and consistent internalization of cultural values. Factors such as geographical location, hospital size, and leadership styles may influence the degree of impact that transformational leadership and organizational culture have on nurse performance. Therefore, it is essential to adapt leadership strategies and cultural initiatives to the unique needs and challenges of each healthcare setting.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the contextual learning model "Gratitude in Action" in enhancing the gratitude attitude of fifth-grade students at SD Islam Excellent Plus Bukittinggi. The research was motivated by observations indicating that students' gratitude practices were limited to formal rituals without deeper internalization. A quasi-experimental method with a single-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 32 students. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-intervention surveys, while qualitative data were derived from teacher observations, student journals, and interviews. The results showed a statistically significant increase in students' gratitude scores (from 2.4 to 3.5 on a 4-point scale, p < 0.05). Behavioral observations revealed improved spontaneous expressions of gratitude, increased peer collaboration, and proactive acts of kindness. The model’s four stages—contextualization, experience, reflection, and transfer—proved effective in linking gratitude concepts to real-life actions. The study concludes that contextual learning grounded in Islamic values strengthens gratitude attitudes holistically. Recommendations include expanding teacher training, integrating family involvement, and replicating the model in other Islamic elementary schools with adjustments for local contexts.
