The number of students arriving late often disrupts the classroom atmosphere and disrupts adherence to school rules. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the behavioral contract technique in changing this habit. Using a qualitative approach focused on literature review, this study found that internal factors within students and environmental factors are the main causes of their tardiness. Behavioral counseling can help change behavior through reinforcement and habit training, while the behavioral contract technique provides clear rules and agreements that make students more responsible. Behavioral changes occur gradually and are more effective if students are involved and there is a balance between rewards and punishments. Therefore, this technique is suitable for use as a practical way to train student discipline in the school environment.

This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidence on the influence of financial performance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in healthcare companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020-2024. This quantitative research employs a descriptive explanatory causality approach to examine the relationships between variables. The sample consists of 19 companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 95 observations. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Classical assumption tests indicate that the data are normally distributed, while initial autocorrelation issues were addressed using the Cochran Orcutt approach, after which no violations of autocorrelation, multicollinearity, or heteroscedasticity were detected. The results show that return on assets (ROA), current ratio (CR), and net profit margin (NPM) simultaneously influence CSR. Partially, ROA has a negative and significant effect, while CR and NPM have positive and significant effects on CSR. This study contributes to legitimacy theory by providing empirical evidence of the role of financial performance in CSR disclosure within the Indonesian healthcare sector, while the negative effect of ROA offers additional insight into going concern theory. Practically, companies are advised to maintain liquidity levels between 150%-300% and optimize profit margins to support CSR strategies, while investors may use financial ratios as indicators to predict CSR performance.

Immature permanent teeth with open apices and pulpal necrosis present a significant challenge in endodontic treatment. Apexification procedures have been developed to stimulate the formation of a hard tissue barrier at the apex, thereby allowing adequate obturation. Objective: This case report aims to describe the evaluation of apexification treatment based on radiographic findings. Case Report: An 8-year-old boy accompanied by his mother presented to PKU Muhammadiyah Surakarta Hospital with a history of a fall one week earlier. The affected tooth had previously received a temporary restoration from another dentist. According to the patient’s mother, medication had been placed in tooth to devitalize the pulp prior to temporary filling. Clinical examination revealed that tooth 11 exhibited a fracture involving approximately half of the crown and extending into the pulp chamber. Discussion: Initial radiographic examination in 2018 indicated that immature teeth have lower structural resistance compared with mature teeth; therefore, endodontic intervention such as apexification is required to establish apical barrier and adequate obturation. The material used for apexification in this case was a combining calcium hydroxide and iodoform. In contrast to the initial stage, radiographic evaluation in 2024 demonstrated that root development had progressed to stage V. According to Cvek’s classification of root development, stage V (Cvek stage V) represents a condition in which root development is fully completed. Conclusion: Based on long-term clinical and radiographic evaluation in this case, apexification treatment proved effective in stimulating the formation of an apical barrier and supporting root maturation in immature permanent teeth.

The circulation of narcotics as a serious crime in Indonesia faces the reality that some types of narcotics have medical benefits when used in limited quantities and under strict supervision, while cannabis plants remain classified as Class I Narcotics in Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, thereby prohibiting their use in health services. This situation raises legal issues regarding the basis for classification, legal qualifications, and the possibility of updating norms so that cannabis can be used for medical purposes. This study aims to analyze the historical and legal basis for the classification of cannabis, its qualification in the national legal system, and to formulate a normative regulatory concept that allows its use for health services. The method used is normative legal research with a historical and comparative approach, through a literature study of primary and secondary legal materials, which are analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study show that the classification of cannabis is rooted in international commitments through the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which was later ratified and adopted into national law, so that legally cannabis is only permitted for research purposes. however, considering the development of science and practice in various countries, it is necessary to update the norms through the formation of a Ministerial Regulation as mandated by Article 6 paragraph (3) of the Narcotics Law as a limited and controlled first step to open up the use of cannabis in health services without neglecting the principle of preventing abuse.

The debate concerning the relationship between faith (īmān) and deeds (ʿamal) constitutes one of the central issues in the history of Islamic theology, generating diverse perspectives among theological schools. This study aims to comparatively analyze the epistemology of deeds in three classical Islamic theological traditions: Khawarij, Murji’ah, and Ahlussunnah. The research employs a qualitative approach using the integrative literature review method, examining classical works of ʿilm al-kalām alongside contemporary academic studies. The data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, and comparative analysis to identify differences in the epistemological frameworks used to understand the relationship between faith and deeds. The findings indicate that the Khawarij developed a textual–legalistic epistemology that considers deeds an essential component of faith, thereby viewing perpetrators of major sins as having exited the state of faith. In contrast, the Murji’ah developed a theological–rational epistemology that separates faith from deeds and postpones judgment regarding major sinners to God’s ultimate decision. Meanwhile, Ahlussunnah formulated an integrative epistemology that combines belief in the heart, verbal affirmation, and deeds within the structure of faith without declaring major sinners as unbelievers. This study highlights that differences in the concept of deeds in Islamic theology are not merely doctrinal but also reflect distinct epistemological frameworks in interpreting religious sources. The findings contribute conceptually to the study of ʿilm al-kalām by offering a comparative mapping of the epistemology of deeds across three major theological traditions in Islam.
