This study aims to analyze the levels of work stress experienced by volunteers at the Persadabumi Buddhist organization in Medan, Indonesia. Volunteer work in religious organizations, while spiritually rewarding, can also be a source of psychological stress due to various organizational and individual factors. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, this research distributed a validated questionnaire to 36 active volunteers at Persadabumi Medan. The instrument consisted of 18 items measuring various dimensions of work stress including workload, time pressure, role conflict, work climate, and supervisory quality. Data analysis employed frequency distribution and stress level categorization. The results showed that 52.8% of respondents experienced low levels of work stress, 47.2% experienced moderate levels, and none experienced high levels of stress. Key stress-inducing factors identified included heavy and demanding workloads, time pressures in completing tasks, inadequate supervisory support, interpersonal conflicts, and unfavorable organizational climate. The study interprets these findings through a Buddhist psychological framework, explaining stress as a manifestation of dukkha arising from tanhā (craving) and avijjā (ignorance). Buddhist teachings on mindfulness practice (sati), the middle way (majjhima paṭipadā), right effort (sammā-vāyāma), and the importance of spiritual companionship (kalyāṇa-mitta) provide practical frameworks for stress management in volunteer contexts. The practical implications emphasize the importance of organizations providing emotionally and spiritually supportive environments, implementing balanced workload distribution, establishing realistic schedules, facilitating meditation and mindfulness practices, and strengthening social support networks among volunteers. This research contributes to understanding the intersection of organizational psychology and Buddhist philosophy in managing volunteer well-being.

Industrialization has helped the economic growth and progress of many countries, but it is still understood about its effects on government, power structures, and social relations. The study investigates the impact of industrialization on these three components, with particular emphasis on Indonesia. Government has changed significantly as a result of industrialization, which has played an important role in driving industrial growth. To attract foreign investment, improve infrastructure, and improve the business environment, governments have implemented several policies, but there are concerns about their ability to oversee industry and protect the interests of local communities. In addition, the power structure has undergone significant shifts, with the emergence of new social classes and the consolidation of power among certain classes. The industrial sector has also created new opportunities for social mobility, but has also exacerbated economic and social disparities. To solve this problem, this study suggests that the distribution of wealth and power must be fairer.

The rapid growth of social media platforms has generated massive volumes of unstructured textual data containing valuable information about public opinions and sentiments. Extracting meaningful insights from this data has become increasingly important for decision-making in various domains, including business, politics, and social analysis. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning techniques for sentiment analysis of social media data, focusing on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and a hybrid CNN-LSTM model. A quantitative experimental approach is employed, where datasets are preprocessed through text cleaning, tokenization, and feature representation using word embeddings. The models are trained and evaluated using standard performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results indicate that all models perform effectively in sentiment classification tasks, with the hybrid CNN-LSTM model achieving the highest performance due to its ability to capture both local textual features and long-term contextual dependencies. This demonstrates that combining CNN and LSTM architectures enhances classification accuracy compared to individual models. Furthermore, the findings confirm that deep learning approaches are more robust in handling the complexity and noisiness of social media data compared to traditional methods. This study contributes to the development of more adaptive and accurate sentiment analysis models and highlights the potential of hybrid deep learning architectures for real-world applications.
