RISOMA : Jurnal Riset Sosial Humaniora dan Pendidikan 2026 Asosiasi Ilmuwan Pendidikan, Sosial, dan Humaniora Indonesia

Social media is one form of technological advancement that has become an integral part of students’ lives, including university students. Its use is not limited to communication and information sharing, but it may also generate psychological effects that influence both physical and mental health. The purpose of this review is to identify and explain the psychological impacts of social media use through appropriate theoretical approaches, which serve as a foundation for discussing the research findings. This study employs a literature review method by examining various academic books and relevant scientific articles. The findings indicate that excessive use of social media has the potential to cause psychological problems among university students, such as social comparison behavior, cyberbullying, decreased sleep quality, and reduced learning productivity. These issues are influenced by several factors, including the intensity of social media use, the type of content accessed, and individuals’ ability to manage emotions and time. Furthermore, uncontrolled social media use may lead to difficulties in social relationships, increased procrastination, poor time management, and reduced self-control in using social networking platforms. Therefore, students are encouraged to develop healthier patterns of social media use to reduce the risk of psychological disturbances. This review is also expected to assist healthcare professionals in understanding the relationship between the intensity of social media use and the occurrence of depressive symptoms among university students.

Nusantara: Jurnal Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat 2026 Pusat Riset dan Inovasi Nasional

This activity was conducted in Timbang Lawan Village, located in Bahorok Sub-district, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province. The results of surveys and interviews with partners indicate that most residents, especially housewives, carry out activities at home, work as agricultural laborers, and engage in farming. This situation provides significant opportunities to train and educate them through programs aimed at improving economic conditions and financial independence. However, the main inhibiting factors identified are limited access to information, knowledge, and technology, which hinder their creativity in utilizing leisure time productively. The purpose of this community empowerment program is to provide education and socialization to inspire and empower the community in addressing economic problems through training in making dishwashing liquid. After this activity, it is expected that participants can reduce household expenses by no longer needing to purchase dishwashing liquid on a daily basis.

The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which the Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual (SAVI) learning model can improve students' understanding of Fiqh at MTs Negeri 2 Cilacap. The background of this study is the low level of student understanding, which is caused by a teaching approach that is still teacher-focused, resulting in less student involvement in the learning process. This study used a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class, each containing 31 students. The research instrument was a Fiqh understanding test whose validity and reliability had been tested. The resulting data analysis test, which was carried out using a normality test, showed that all test items were declared valid (0.101 > 0.05), as well as the homogeneity test (0.773 > 0.05) and the t-test (0.025). so that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted, meaning there was a difference between the control class and the experimental class. The results of the study show the effectiveness of the SAVI learning model on students' understanding of Islamic jurisprudence at MTs Negeri 2 Cilacap.

In the highly competitive sports equipment market, particularly for badminton items, businesses must rely not only on high-quality products but also on efficient digital media marketing techniques. Brands frequently utilize Instagram, a visual social media site, to enlighten consumers about their products and pique their interest. Yonex uses Instagram with the account @yonex_badminton. Nevertheless, a large following and frequent posting may not always indicate how well a piece of content stimulates customer interest in making a purchase. The purpose of this study is to examine how @yonex_badminton Instagram content affects consumer interest in making purchases. With the use of statistical software, this study employs a quantitative methodology that includes survey procedures and data analysis utilizing basic linear regression. 84 responders who followed the @yonex_badminton Instagram account made up the research sample. With a t-value of 13.387 and a significance value of 0.000, the results demonstrated that Instagram content had a favorable and substantial impact on customer purchase interest. Instagram content may account for 68.6% of the variance in customer purchase interest, according to the coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.686. Other factors that are not within the purview of this study account for the remaining 31.4%. This research gives a broad overview of how managing regular, engaging, and educational Instagram content may be a useful digital marketing tactic and boost customer interest in making a purchase.

Damai : Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Kristen dan Filsafat 2026 Asosiasi Riset Ilmu Pendidikan Agama dan Filsafat Indonesia

The purpose of this research is to examine how guidance and counseling instructors may help children in junior high get over their anxiety about speaking out in class. Students' lack of confidence and engagement in class might be exacerbated by the widespread problem of their fear of asking questions. In order to delve further into the issue, this study used a descriptive technique based on qualitative research. Students and instructors of guidance and counseling participated in interviews and observations to compile the data. The results highlight the important role that counseling and guidance instructors play in assisting students in coping with anxiety. Counseling sessions with individuals, group guidance exercises, and making an attempt to establish a welcoming classroom setting all contribute to this goal. Teachers also use excellent communication tactics and motivating initiatives to help pupils feel more comfortable expressing themselves. A more favorable classroom environment may also be achieved via collaboration between topic teachers and counseling instructors. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that students' anxiety of asking questions may be successfully reduced via the use of suitable counseling and guiding interventions. Consequently, students' self-esteem, classroom engagement, and academic performance are all much improved when guidance and counseling instructors are present.

ARDHI : Jurnal Pengabdian Dalam Negri 2026 Asosiasi Riset Pendidikan Agama dan Filsafat Indonesia

This article explores the meaning of human life through the lens of value, choice, and ultimate purpose. Drawing from the analogy of nature, the study argues that human existence is likewise structured around meaning rather than randomness. Human beings inevitably encounter diverse and sometimes conflicting values, requiring discernment and responsible decision-making. Not all values carry equal weight; their significance depends on their proximity to the ultimate goal of human life understood in its totality. The paper identifies three fundamental attitudes toward life: a pessimistic stance that perceives life as failure, a hedonistic stance that seeks satisfaction and pleasure, and a constructive stance that embraces life as a meaningful vocation. Through a reflective-ethical approach, the discussion highlights the importance of mission, prioritization, empathetic communication, synergy, and continual self-renewal. Ultimately, the quality of human existence is determined by the values one chooses to uphold and the orientation of life toward a higher, integrative purpose.

This study was motivated by the low level of independence among Group B children at PAUD Matahari, Tohe Village, Raihat District, Belu Regency. Initial observations revealed that most children still depended on teacher assistance in completing learning activities, particularly in puzzle-solving tasks. Independence is a crucial developmental aspect in early childhood, as it relates to children’s ability to make decisions, complete tasks independently, build self-confidence, and develop a sense of responsibility. Therefore, appropriate instructional strategies are needed to stimulate the development of children’s independence through meaningful and educational play activities. The purpose of this study was to improve children’s independence through puzzle activities. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 12 children (6 boys and 6 girls). Data were collected using observation sheets with assessment categories: Very Well Developed, Developed as Expected, Beginning to Develop, and Not Yet Developed. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods by calculating the percentage of improvement in each cycle. The results indicated a significant increase in children’s independence from Cycle I to Cycle II. Thus, puzzle activities proved effective in enhancing the independence of Group B children at PAUD Matahari.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal basis for the qualification of unlawful acts in disputes concerning the unilateral cancellation of life insurance policies by the insurer as reflected in Decision Number 5871 K/Pdt/2024. This research is a normative legal study with a prescriptive nature, employing both case and statutory approaches. The legal materials used in this study consist of primary and secondary legal materials which are analyzed qualitatively using the syllogistic method with deductive reasoning. The results of the study indicate that the qualification of an unlawful act in the a quo decision is based on a systematic interpretation of Article 1338 of the Indonesian Civil Code, which is understood in relation to the binding source of agreements under Article 1339 of the Indonesian Civil Code. Furthermore, the existence of naturalia elements also emphasizes the presence of legal obligations inherent in an agreement even though they are not explicitly stated therein. In life insurance, the obligation to pay claims after the insured risk has occurred constitutes a normative consequence inherent in the policy; therefore, the unilateral cancellation of a life insurance policy fulfills the elements of an unlawful act as stipulated in Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code.

In Indonesia, illegal gold mining (PETI) is still a persistent environmental crime, especially in resource-rich areas like Bungo Regency, Jambi Province. The efficacy of local law enforcement is still in doubt, despite the fact that Article 158 of the modified Mining Law (Law No. 3 of 2020) offers a solid legal foundation for criminal penalties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of criminal law enforcement in Bungo Regency against PETI from the standpoint of Islamic law based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This study uses a juridical-empirical approach, combining pertinent court rulings, field data from law enforcement, and normative legal analysis. The results show that although legal measures like arrests and convictions have been carried out, they have not had a major deterrent effect. The overall effect of enforcement operations is weakened by structural issues, such as the economic dependence of local populations, the scarcity of alternative livelihoods, and the difficulties of prosecuting informal financiers. According to maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, illicit mining is incompatible with the defense of basic principles, especially the preservation of life (ḥifḍ al-nafs), property (ḥifṢ al-māl), and environmental sustainability. The study comes to the conclusion that effective law enforcement necessitates an integrated strategy that combines preventive and rehabilitative tactics, such as economic empowerment, legal awareness campaigns, and regular supervision, with repressive measures. A more equitable, long-lasting, and socially conscious form of environmental criminal law enforcement is provided by combining positive law with the ethical framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.

The purpose of this scientific study is to examine the influence of review content and customer ratings on the trust of Uniwara Economics Education students in skincare products. The background of this study includes the increasing popularity of local skincare products and the shift in the behavior of young consumers who now rely more on reviews and ratings on various social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok when deciding to buy. Students, as a critical and digitally native generation, use online information as their main source for building trust in products. This study applies a quantitative method with an associative research design. The sample consists of 51 students from a total population of 105 students, determined through Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. Data for the study were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results of this study indicate that review content and customer ratings together have a positive and significant effect on student trust. In part, these two variables also significantly affect trust. The contribution of review content and customer ratings is 247% (as indicated by an Adjusted R Square value of 0.247), while the rest is influenced by other variables or factors outside the scope of this study. This research indicates that review content and customer ratings have both a partial and simultaneous effect on the trust of Uniwara Economics students in skincare products.

The development of technology in the era of globalization has brought significant changes in society, particularly through the emergence of the internet and social media such as WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and TikTok, which facilitate rapid information dissemination. This development has also given rise to a new profession, namely content creators, who produce and share content in the form of images, videos, or text for branding, professional purposes, or self-expression, often resorting to sensationalism to attract audience attention. On the other hand, the ease of access to social media has also triggered the spread of negative content, including pornography, as evidenced by Komdigi/Kominfo data showing millions of blocked negative content, with X being one of the dominant platforms. In Islamic perspective, anything that leads to adultery is prohibited as stated in QS. Al-Isra verse 32. A prominent case is Dea OnlyFans (Gusti Ayu Dewanti) who was arrested for distributing pornographic content through OnlyFans and Google Drive, charged under the Pornography Law and ITE Law, and found guilty in the Supreme Court Decision Number 2086 K/Pid.Sus/2023. This study discusses 1) How are the differences in judges' considerations at the District Court, High Court, and Cassation? 2) Can the Supreme Court judges' considerations provide a deterrent effect? This research uses a descriptive method with normative legal research based on literature study, using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials.

Proceeding. of The International Conference on Business and Economics 2026 Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang

The purpose of this study is to analyze the synergy of humanistic and transformational leadership in building adaptability and digital competence of civil servants in the era of digital transformation. The research uses a narrative literature review approach by analyzing various literature from leading academic databases. The findings indicate that humanistic leadership creates a psychological foundation through empathy, respect for individual dignity, and psychological safety that facilitates civil servants to adapt to change without fear of failure. Meanwhile, transformational leadership acts as a catalyst by providing inspirational vision, intellectual stimulation, and motivation to master digital competencies. The synergy of these two leadership styles creates a holistic development ecosystem: humanistic leadership provides psychological safety to take learning risks, while transformational leadership provides energy and direction for continuous innovation. The theoretical implications of this research enrich the treasury of leadership theory in the context of public bureaucracy by identifying the complementary mechanisms of both leadership styles. Practical implications provide guidance for agency leaders to integrate humanistic values and transformational approaches in HR development programs to prepare civil servants who are resilient, adaptive, and digitally competent in facing the challenges of technological disruption and increasingly complex public service demands in the Society 5.0 era.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Mohammed Ghaly's thoughts from a theological and legal perspective on disability and its implications for social inclusion. This research uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with in-depth analysis of primary Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, hadith, and tafsir, kalam, and fiqh literature from various periods. Ghaly seeks to reveal the normative attitude of this religion towards persons with disabilities and its implications for social inclusion. The analysis utilizes contemporary disability studies to examine Ghaly's concepts in Islamic theology and law regarding the inherent nature and fundamental rights of persons with disabilities. However, he also emphasizes the need for new interpretations and contextualizations of this textual heritage based on the values of justice, inclusion, and empowerment. The findings of this study show that there is a stigma associated with disability due to the conflict between Islamic idealism and social reality. Nevertheless, the main principles and laws of Islam provide strong normative guidance for the dignity of persons with disabilities.
