Selecting a faculty that aligns with students’ interests and talents is a strategic step in determining the success of higher education and future career paths. However, most vocational high school (SMK) students still face difficulties in identifying the most suitable faculty due to the lack of data-driven analysis. This study implements the C4.5 classification algorithm within data mining techniques to build an automatic and measurable faculty recommendation system. The dataset consists of attributes such as SMK major, interest level, aptitude test results, academic grade average, and gender, with the output being the recommended faculty. The C4.5 algorithm was chosen for its ability to generate a transparent and interpretable decision tree, which helps both guidance counselors and students understand the rationale behind the recommendations. The experimental results show that the constructed classification model achieved an accuracy rate of 88%, based on cross-validation testing using data from 12th-grade students. The implementation of this system is expected to serve as an objective tool in the faculty selection process and to promote a data-driven decision-making approach in secondary education environments.

One of the factors that determine the success of a character-based language learning process is the interaction between teachers and students. Polite language from students can show that they have the expected character, in addition to showing that teachers have helped students behave with polite language. Classes often do not meet expectations. Many students are still unable to pronounce good words. In the last two decades, there has been a significant decline in the implementation of polite language originating from Brebes Regency. Children believe that using impolite language is acceptable to their friends and following trends in their environment because of the abundance of impolite language in society. This causes people to use Indonesian less. The purpose of this study is to determine the politeness of Indonesian language students in interacting with teachers in grade IV SDN 1 Karangdempel. This study uses a qualitative research type. The approach used in this study is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The location of this research is SDN 1 Karangdempel, Losari District, Brebes Regency, Central Java, Indonesia 52212. Based on research that has been done on the analysis of the form of politeness in Indonesian language in interacting with teachers in the learning process is polite. Because, in the implementation of the learning process can include several maxims including: Maxim of wisdom/wisdom, maxim of generosity, maxim of praise/appreciation, maxim of humility/simplicity, maxim of agreement/agreement, and maxim of sympathy. From several existing maxims it can be concluded that the maxim of humility/simplicity is the one most frequently found in the data of politeness in Indonesian language in class IV SDN 1 Karangdempel, Brebes Regency, because that maxim is the one that occurs most often in learning activities.

This study aims to analyze the role of mass media in influencing the escalation of social conflict in society. Mass media, both conventional and digital, have significant power in shaping public opinion and influencing public perceptions of sensitive social issues. In the context of Indonesia's pluralistic society, non-objective and provocative reporting can accelerate the rise of social tensions and exacerbate intergroup conflict. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review method, drawing on sources from various scientific journals, books, and previous research reports. The results indicate that media can act as both a trigger and a mitigator of conflict, depending on how information is presented to the public. Media that prioritizes the principles of peace journalism can help create cross-group communication, foster empathy, and strengthen social solidarity. Conversely, biased and sensational media can exacerbate differences and lead to social disintegration. Therefore, media practitioners require moral responsibility, professional ethics, and social awareness to ensure their function remains oriented toward truth, justice, and peace. Thus, mass media holds a strategic position in building social harmony amidst the diversity of Indonesian society.

This study aims to describe the role of digital media in the dynamics of teaching and learning interactions in educational environments. The development of information and communication technology has brought about significant changes in the learning system, where digital media has now become an integral part of teaching and learning activities. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through journals and books related to digital-based learning. The results indicate that digital media plays a significant role in increasing the effectiveness and flexibility of the learning process. Digital media helps teachers deliver material more engagingly, facilitates two-way communication between teachers and students, and supports faster and more efficient learning evaluation. However, the use of digital media also creates new dynamics, such as reduced direct social interaction and the emergence of challenges in maintaining student learning motivation. The effectiveness of digital learning is greatly influenced by teachers' digital literacy readiness, student discipline, and the support of school infrastructure and policies.

Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are among the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. This condition results from the immaturity of organ systems, including thermoregulation, making infants vulnerable to hypothermia. One non-pharmacological intervention to maintain body temperature stability is the nesting technique, which positions the baby in a flexed posture similar to the intrauterine condition using soft rolled cloths as a “nest.” This case study aimed to determine the effect of nesting on body temperature changes in LBW infants in the perinatology room of RSUD Batang. The study used a descriptive case study with a nursing process approach involving five LBW infants (<2500 g, spontaneous breathing). The intervention involved applying nesting for 30 minutes daily over three consecutive days. Body temperature was measured before and after the intervention using a digital thermometer. The results showed an increase in body temperature in all subjects. The average temperature before intervention was 35.9°C and increased to 36.6°C after three days of nesting therapy. This indicates that nesting effectively helps maintain body temperature stability in LBW infants by providing comfort, reducing stress, and conserving body energy. In conclusion, nesting is an effective evidence-based nursing intervention for improving body temperature in LBW infants and is recommended for perinatology care settings.

Postpartum anxiety is a psychological problem that often occurs after childbirth and can have a direct impact on decreased breast milk production. Non-pharmacological efforts that can help overcome this are Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) therapy and Endorphin, Oxytocin, and Suggestive Massage Stimulation (SPEOS). This community service activity aims to improve comfort, calmness, and increase breast milk production through the application of a combination of SEFT and SPEOS therapy to postpartum mothers in the Sambau Community Health Center, Batam City. The activity method is carried out through education, demonstrations, and direct practice with postpartum mothers given to 48 postpartum mothers. The results of the activity showed an increase in mothers' knowledge about SEFT and SPEOS relaxation techniques, about managing anxiety, and how to increase breast milk production as obtained from the results of qualitative evaluations through interviews and group discussions. This activity received a positive response from participants and local health workers, and is recommended for routine implementation in community midwifery services.

Economic forecasting is becoming increasingly important year after year, especially during crises such as the pandemic of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. Its development can be seen from the use of basic statistical models to the increasingly widespread use of machine learning technology. Economic forecasting plays an important role in helping to formulate policies and is also a reliable tool for researchers in dealing with uncertainty. Global crises, such as inflationary pressures due to the pandemic and supply chain disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have prompted increased research in this field in an effort to anticipate economic shocks and emphasize the urgency of forecasting to prepare strategies for dealing with future uncertainty. This literature review uses the Scopus database with 2561 publications from 2020 to 2025, analyzed using R Studio with a bibliometrix approach (specifically biblioshiny) and VOSviewer to map relevant thematic connections. This analysis shows that economic forecasting is greatly influenced by market uncertainty and geopolitical factors, and at the same time influences public policy formulation and financial stability. Research contributions from Indonesia are still limited, with only 40 documents, thus emphasizing the need to strengthen economic forecasting studies in Indonesia to support monetary policy and national financial stability.

Business entities often face bankruptcy risks due to various factors, including accounting errors, limited experience, or small-cap transactions. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated financial conditions for many companies, such as PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk., which experienced a significant revenue decline. Additionally, individuals may face bankruptcy due to reasons like job termination or business failures. The primary cause of bankruptcy lies in the imbalance between debt and income, often worsened by poor financial planning. Government regulations can help mitigate bankruptcy risks, such as through health insurance and credit restrictions. The bankruptcy process aims to provide fair resolutions between debtors and creditors while safeguarding public interests. Bankruptcy can also offer debtors the opportunity to restructure their debt, maintain economic stability, and prevent social loss. In practice, bankruptcy involves the management of the debtor's assets by a trustee and the proportional distribution of proceeds to creditors. The application of freedom of contract and legal certainty principles in debtor-creditor relationships is crucial to ensuring a transparent, efficient, and equitable process.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that not only causes physical disorders, but also has an impact on the patient's psychological condition, especially increased stress levels. Unmanaged stress can worsen medical conditions, decrease adherence to treatment, and negatively impact the patient's quality of life. Social support is known to have an important role as a protective factor in helping patients cope with psychological burden. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between social support and stress levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The research design used was descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional approach, involving [number of respondents] patients selected with the [mention sampling technique]. The research instrument used a validated social support questionnaire and stress scale. The data were analyzed by the Pearson/Spearman correlation test according to the data distribution. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between social support and stress levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (p < 0.05), with a negative correlation direction, which means that the higher the social support received by the patient, the lower the level of stress experienced. These findings confirm the importance of the role of family, health workers, and the social environment in supporting patients to manage stress and improve quality of life. This study recommends the need for social support-based interventions in diabetes management programs in health services.

This study aims to determine the effect of digital media use on children's academic achievement. Rapid technological developments have made digital media a crucial part of the modern educational process. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study provides an in-depth description of how digital media is used in learning activities and its impact on student learning outcomes. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation of students, teachers, and parents involved in the technology-based learning process. The results indicate that digital media plays a significant role in increasing children's interest and motivation in learning, enriching their knowledge base, and helping them understand the material more effectively.

It is acceptable and effective for the demands of children's spiritual growth and development when a mature and proper technique is used.

Self-care independence is an essential aspect that must be developed so that children can live more independently and achieve a better quality of life. This is based on the vital role of the family in facilitating growth, development, and the formation of independence, especially for children with special needs such as those with intellectual disabilities. Children with intellectual disabilities often experience limitations in adaptive and intellectual abilities, making family support a key factor that helps them learn to perform daily activities independently. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and self-care independence among children with intellectual disabilities at SLB Bukesra Banda Aceh. The research used a quantitative method with a descriptive-analytic design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 40 children with intellectual disabilities selected through purposive sampling from a total of 69 registered students. The research instruments were family support and self-care independence questionnaires using the Guttman scale. The study was conducted from June 1 to June 7, 2025. The results showed that most children received good family support (82.5%) and demonstrated good self-care independence (60%). The bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test indicated a significant relationship between family support and self-care independence (p-value = 0.001, p < 0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that family support plays a crucial role in improving the self-care independence of children with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, parents are encouraged to provide consistent emotional, appreciation, instrumental, and informational support to help their children learn to care for themselves independently.

Sectio caesarean (SC) is a major surgical procedure performed to save the mother and baby when normal delivery is not possible. However, this procedure may cause postoperative complications such as impaired physical mobility due to pain, muscle weakness, and anesthesia effects. These limitations can delay the healing process, increase the risk of infection, and reduce the mother's self-care ability. One effective non-pharmacological intervention to accelerate recovery is early mobilization through Range of Motion (ROM) exercises. This case study aims to analyze the effectiveness of early mobilization (ROM) intervention on improving mobility and reducing pain in post-sectio caesarean mothers. The study was conducted in June 2025 at RSUD Kajen with three respondents who underwent SC for different obstetric indications (postterm, CPD, and severe preeclampsia). The research design used a descriptive case study with pre–post intervention approach. The results showed that after performing ROM exercises gradually from six hours post SC, pain intensity decreased from a scale of 7–8 to 1–3 within three days. Mobility ability improved from only being able to turn sideways to sitting and walking with assistance. Respondents also showed increased motivation and independence in self-care activities. In conclusion, early mobilization (ROM) intervention is effective in accelerating recovery for post-sectio caesarean mothers. This intervention helps reduce pain, improve circulation, strengthen muscles, and enhance psychological adaptation. Early mobilization should be applied as part of routine nursing interventions in the postpartum ward.

Exclusive breastfeeding ensures the optimal development of children's potential intelligence. Babies without complete exclusive breastfeeding are more vulnerable to malnutrition. They face risks of both under-nutrition and over-nutrition. This study aims to determine the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and nutritional status among infants in Kuta Cot Glie Public Health Center, Aceh Besar. This research was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 74 infants aged 0-6 months, selected using a Total Sampling technique. The study was conducted from May 1st to 23rd, 2025. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test. Of the total 74 respondents, 44 respondents (59.5%) had a normal nutritional status. Additionally, 43 respondents (58.1%) were exclusively breastfed. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value = 0.001 < 0.05. The findings indicate a correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and nutritional status in infants. This study suggests that mothers exclusively breastfeed their babies. Therefore, mothers should also increase their knowledge by seeking information from various sources, such as clinics and professionals. This can help them understand the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and how to prevent malnutrition in infants.
