Correctional institutions impose sustained psychological burdens on inmates, including social isolation, fractured family bonds, and disrupted identity development, which collectively heighten the risk of mental health deterioration. Unlike preventive psychoeducational approaches, group counseling operates as a curative, therapeutically structured service that enables participants to process shared difficulties through interpersonal dynamics. This community service study implemented group counseling within a Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework involving 50 early adult inmates at Lapas Kelas III Rangkasbitung. PAR was operationalized as an implementation framework in which each counseling cluster cycle followed the Plan-Act-Observe-Reflect sequence, enabling iterative refinement of therapeutic content. Pre-service needs assessment using the Alat Ungkap Masalah (AUM) Umum Masyarakat instrument identified dominant problems in family relations (13.33%), personal self (12.97%), and social relations (10.76%). Group counseling was conducted across three thematic clusters. Program evaluation revealed improvements in social interaction, self-acceptance, and emotional regulation among participants, with the PAR reflective cycle enabling context responsive adaptation of each session. These findings affirm that PAR-grounded group counseling constitutes a contextually adaptive model for psychosocial rehabilitation in correctional settings.

Judicial digital transformation through the implementation of e-Court and e-Litigation represents a strategic initiative of the Supreme Court of Indonesia to establish a modern, effective, and efficient judiciary. These innovations have successfully transformed various stages of civil case administration and litigation into faster and more transparent processes. However, the success of digitalization in case examination has not been accompanied by similar reforms in the execution of court judgments. This study aims to analyze the regulation of civil judgment execution following the implementation of e-Court and e-Litigation, identify challenges encountered in practice, and formulate a concept of execution digitalization as part of judicial reform. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The legal materials consist of primary legal sources in the form of legislation and Supreme Court regulations, as well as secondary legal sources including scholarly literature and previous studies. The findings reveal that although e-Court and e-Litigation have accelerated dispute resolution processes, the execution of civil judgments remains largely conventional. Consequently, several challenges persist, including delays in execution, lack of transparency, and limited supervision by litigating parties. Therefore, the development of an integrated Digital Execution System linked to existing electronic judicial platforms is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of judgment enforcement and ensure greater legal certainty for justice seekers.

Nutritional problems among school-age children remain an important challenge in human resource development in Indonesia. Adequate nutritional status is essential for supporting physical growth, cognitive development, learning achievement, and future productivity. Schools play a strategic role in promoting children's health through nutritional monitoring and educational interventions, particularly during the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG). This community service activity aimed to monitor students’ nutritional status and strengthen awareness of the importance of nutrition as a foundation for human resource development. The activity was conducted on April 5–6, 2026, at SD Negeri 09 Jambi City and involved 261 students from grades I to III. A school-based assistance approach was implemented through anthropometric measurements, including body weight and height assessments, followed by balanced nutrition education. The findings revealed that 77.0% of students had normal nutritional status, while 8.8% were undernourished, 9.6% were overweight, and 4.6% were classified as obese. The activity also increased school awareness regarding the importance of continuous nutritional monitoring and evidence-based health management. These findings suggest that school-based nutritional monitoring can support the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program and serve as an initial effort to strengthen human resource development by fostering healthier, more productive, and higher-quality future generations.

One key measure of a region's economic growth is the employment rate, as it reflects the ability of the economy to absorb labor and improve community welfare. In Jambi Province, employment opportunities are influenced by several factors, including Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population growth, and the Human Development Index (HDI). This study aims to analyze the effects of GRDP, population growth, and HDI on employment growth rates across regencies and cities in Jambi Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis covering 11 regencies and cities during the period 2017–2023. The findings indicate that GRDP growth, population growth, and HDI simultaneously influence employment levels. Partially, population growth and HDI have significant effects on employment, indicating that improvements in human development and demographic dynamics contribute to labor absorption. Meanwhile, economic growth, as measured by GRDP, has a relatively small negative effect on employment. This suggests that economic expansion does not always generate proportional employment opportunities, possibly due to structural changes and technological developments. Therefore, policies aimed at improving human capital and labor market conditions are essential to support sustainable employment growth in Jambi Province.

This study aims to examine the role of teachers in developing emotional intelligence among adolescent students at SMP Kesatrian Surakarta. Emotional intelligence is an essential aspect that supports academic achievement, social relationships, and character development. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 teachers teaching grades VII to IX, participant observations in classroom settings, and analysis of relevant school documents. The findings reveal that teachers play a strategic role in fostering students’ emotional intelligence through three primary approaches: emotional modeling by demonstrating appropriate emotional management (45%), facilitating emotion-based learning activities (30%), and evaluating students’ emotional intelligence development (25%). These roles significantly contribute to improving students’ self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills. Supporting factors include emotional intelligence training programs provided by the local education authority and the school’s commitment to creating a supportive learning environment. However, major challenges consist of high administrative workloads among teachers (70%) and limited counseling facilities (50%). This study recommends continuous teacher training, the integration of emotional intelligence modules into lesson plans, and collaboration with school psychologists to ensure long-term monitoring and development of students’ emotional competencies. The findings contribute to the enrichment of emotional intelligence literature within the context of Indonesian secondary education.

This study aims to determine the effect of career development and compensation on employee turnover intention at PT X  Merak–Cilegon. The phenomenon of high turnover intention among employees at the Operator/Clerk/Technician to Supervisor levels has highlighted the need to investigate the factors influencing employees' intentions to leave the company. Career development and compensation were selected as the independent variables because the results of the preliminary survey indicated that these factors were the most dominant determinants affecting turnover intention This study employed a quantitative research method with a survey approach. The population consisted of employees of PT X at the Operator/Clerk/Technician to Supervisor levels. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling, resulting in a sample of 170 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results of the study indicate that career development has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention. Compensation also has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention. Simultaneously, career development and compensation have a significant effect on employee turnover intention. These findings suggest that the better the career development opportunities provided by the company and the fairer and more adequate the compensation received by employees, the lower the level of employee turnover intention.

This study aims to analyze the role of talent management and employee experience in enhancing employee loyalty in the e-commerce industry through a non-empirical, conceptual approach. The study employs a qualitative design with a mixed-methods literature synthesis to construct a model of the relationship between talent management, work experience, and digital workforce loyalty. Data were obtained through a review of reputable international and national scientific literature addressing talent management, employee experience, employee engagement, retention, and employee loyalty in the digital and e-commerce sectors from 2020 to 2026. Analysis was conducted using thematic synthesis and comparative conceptual analysis, with the high turnover rate in the e-commerce industry serving as the primary interpretive context. The research findings indicate that employee loyalty is fostered through the integration of competency development, career development, rewards and recognition, employer branding, work flexibility, organizational communication, and psychological safety. Employee experience strengthens employee engagement and organizational commitment, while talent management enhances perceptions of organizational support and professional career sustainability. The study’s conceptual model demonstrates that the integration of these two variables contributes to workforce retention, organizational stability, productivity, and the enhancement of e-commerce companies’ competitiveness in a competitive digital business environment

This study analyzes the effect of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) and Village Original Revenue (PADes) on village expenditure in the villages of Bone Raya District, Bone Bolango Regency. The research was motivated by two fiscal phenomena: PADes remained very small and unequal across villages, while relatively similar ADD allocations did not produce similar development expenditure outcomes. A quantitative causal-associative approach was applied using secondary data from APBDes realization reports for four villages—Alo, Bunga, Mootayu, and Mootinello—during 2023–2025. The data consisted of 36 quarterly observations and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The regression result shows that ADD has a positive and significant effect on village expenditure, with a coefficient of 0.844 and a significance value of 0.000. PADes has a positive but insignificant effect, with a coefficient of 0.065 and a significance value of 0.064. Simultaneously, ADD and PADes significantly affect village expenditure, explaining 56.7% of its variation. These findings indicate that village expenditure in Bone Raya District remains highly dependent on government transfers, while PADes has not yet become a decisive source of village fiscal capacity. Strengthening local revenue generation, asset management, BUMDes development, and participatory budgeting is therefore essential to improve fiscal independence and expenditure effectiveness.

Income inequality is a structural development problem that can trigger social conflict, affect long-term economic growth, and hinder the achievement of SDGs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that contribute to income inequality in East Java Province by combining demographic, social, and economic factors. The data used includes panel data from 38 districts and cities in East Java Province between 2017 and 2023 period. The analysis method used is panel data regression with a fixed effect model. To measure the effect of variables on income inequality, the testing was conducted partially and simultaneosly. The individual test results show that elderly dependency and poverty have a positive and significant relationship, while the human development index and economic growth are proportional but not significantly, and the open unemployment rate is not significant negative. Simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect on income inequality of 55.67 percent, with the remaining 44.37 percent influenced by variables outside the scope of this study.

The rapid development of information technology drives various business sectors, including the beauty and health industry, to adopt digital systems in their operational management. A Beauty Clinic, a medium-scale aesthetic clinic, faces significant operational challenges in managing human resources, finance, and digital marketing in an integrated manner. This study aims to analyze the existing manual operational system of A Beauty Clinic using the PIECES framework (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Service), design and configure an Odoo ERP Community Edition implementation integrating the HR, Invoicing/Point of Sale, and Social Marketing modules, and evaluate the operational efficiency improvements achieved. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method and Rapid Application Development (RAD) as the system development methodology. Data was collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews. The results show that the manual system experienced critical problems across all six PIECES dimensions. Post-implementation evaluation indicates an estimated 80% reduction in the secretary's administrative workload (from 20–25 hours to 3–5 hours per month), over 90% reduction in payroll error frequency, and an 87% reduction in transaction processing time per cashier transaction. The implementation of role-based access control and complete audit trails fundamentally addressed the security vulnerabilities identified in the as-is analysis. This study demonstrates that Odoo Community Edition is an effective, comprehensive, and cost-efficient ERP solution for small and medium-scale beauty clinics seeking to transform from fragmented manual systems to integrated, data-driven information systems.

The development of social media has significantly changed human communication patterns. On the one hand, digital media provides a space for freedom of expression, but on the other hand, it has also given rise to digital judgmental cultural phenomena such as Cancel culture and cyberbullying. These phenomena often give rise to verbal violence, public humiliation, and massive social exclusion in cyberspace. This article aims to analyze the phenomena of Cancel culture and cyberbullying from a Christian ethical perspective. The research method used is a literature review with a theological-ethical approach. The results of the study indicate that the digital judgmental culture contradicts the principles of love, respect for human dignity as the Imago Dei, and Christian communication ethics taught in the Bible. Christian ethics views every individual as having value before God, so the practices of humiliation, digital bullying, and public judgment are unjustifiable. The church and believers are called to present constructive, loving, communication in the digital space.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Large Language Models such as ChatGPT, has changed the paradigm of creative writing learning in secondary schools. However, empirical evidence regarding the relationship between the intensity of this technology utilization and the quality of students' literary works is still limited. This study aims to examine the relationship between AI utilization and the poetry writing skills of grade XI students at Karya Budi Putussibau Senior High School. The method used was a quantitative correlational method with a sample of N = 27 students selected through a random sampling technique. Data were collected using an AI utilization questionnaire (30 valid and reliable statements, (α= 0.975) and a poetry writing test assessed with an analytical rubric. The results of descriptive statistical analysis showed that the level of AI utilization was in the high category (M =    3.70) and students' poetry writing skills were in the good category (M =  78.41). The Pearson Product Moment correlation test showed a very strong and significant positive relationship between the two variables (r = 0.978; p < 0.01). These findings confirm that proper AI integration acts as a creative catalyst that helps students explore diction and imagery structure in the poetry writing process.

Package C equivalency education is a strategic non-formal education policy designed to provide senior secondary education access for citizens who are not served by the formal schooling system. This study evaluates the implementation of the Package C Equivalency Education Policy at the Non-Formal Education Unit Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar in Batudaa District, Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. The study addresses the gap between the policy objective of expanding equitable access to secondary education and the practical constraints found in local implementation. Using a qualitative evaluative case study design, the research applies the Context, Input, Process, and Product evaluation model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving program managers, tutors, learners, parents, alumni, and non-formal education supervisors. The findings show that the policy is contextually relevant to learners who face economic barriers, employment demands, age constraints, and limited access to formal schooling. However, input capacity remains insufficient due to limited tutor availability, inadequate andragogical competence, insufficient learning media, and learning modules that are not yet fully contextualized. The process dimension reveals inconsistent learning schedules, lecture-dominated instruction, weak adult-learning practices, and suboptimal monitoring. Product evaluation indicates positive outcomes in graduation, academic confidence, and access to administrative requirements for work or further study, but practical skills and socio-economic impacts remain limited. The study concludes that Package C policy implementation requires stronger socialization, tutor capacity development, contextual learning resources, flexible learning management, and local policy support to generate sustainable public value.

This study examines how tax knowledge, the use of e-filing systems, and the enforcement of tax penalties influence individual taxpayers’ compliance in filing annual tax returns. Tax compliance is a critical factor for the sustainability of government revenue, yet public compliance rates remain suboptimal. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative causal design, involving 131 respondents in West Jakarta selected through convenience sampling. The instrument, consisting of a questionnaire with 34 items, was tested for validity and reliability and then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS. The results of the analysis indicate that tax knowledge, the use of e-filing, and tax penalties have a positive effect—both partially and simultaneously—on compliance with annual tax return filing. These findings underscore the need to improve tax literacy, strengthen the e-filing system, and ensure consistent enforcement of penalties to encourage compliance. This study provides an empirical basis for the development of more inclusive and efficient tax policies and supports the government’s strategy to optimize state revenue by raising taxpayer awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility.

This paper discusses the implementation of regional autonomy and its impact on Islamic education in Indonesia, focusing on the challenges and opportunities faced. Although educational decentralization is considered a strategic step to improve the quality of education, there are various obstacles that must be addressed, including the development of regional capacity, the availability of educational resources, and effective leadership. This study aims to explore how regional autonomy can provide flexibility in educational management while identifying issues arising from the lack of coordination between regional and central governments, especially in the management of Islamic educational institutions. The method used is a normative legal approach with descriptive analysis. The research findings indicate that despite efforts to enhance Islamic education, there remain significant gaps in funding, facilities, and educational quality compared to general education. The conclusion drawn is the need for more inclusive and responsive policy reforms to local diversity, as well as the importance of collaboration among government, society, and educational institutions to create a more equitable and quality education system.
