This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine how key dimensions of digital service quality—namely system quality, ease of use, perceived value, and payment availability—shape customer loyalty among Generation Z culinary consumers, with customer satisfaction functioning as the mediating variable. Bibliometric mapping reveals that previous studies have predominantly focused on Millennials and Gen Y and have emphasized traditional service quality rather than digital service performance, indicating a significant research gap in Gen Z–specific digital consumption behavior. The SLR findings show that fast, secure, stable, and user-friendly digital systems strongly influence perceived value and user satisfaction, while the availability of digital payments such as QRIS and e-wallets enhances seamless transactional experiences. Customer satisfaction emerges as the primary psychological mechanism mediating the relationship between digital service quality and Gen Z loyalty, reflected in repeat purchases, positive word of mouth, and emotional attachment to digital culinary platforms. This study contributes theoretically by addressing existing research gaps and proposing a conceptual model of Gen Z loyalty grounded in digital experience.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between online shopping activities and personal financial management among university students in Indonesia. The background of this research lies in the increasing digitalization of daily consumption, which has encouraged students to engage more actively in e-commerce transactions. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 100 undergraduate students through an online questionnaire based on Likert-scale indicators. The independent variables consist of buyer characteristics (age, gender, and income sources) and online shopping activities (frequency, spending amount, and shopping motivation). Meanwhile, personal financial management is measured through financial planning and spending control. The findings show that students demonstrate very high levels of online shopping activity and acknowledge the strong influence of demographic factors on their consumption behavior. Descriptive analysis also indicates high scores for financial planning and spending control, although intensive online shopping remains a potential risk to financial stability. The implications of this study highlight the need to strengthen financial literacy among students to help them develop healthier budgeting habits and reduce impulsive buying driven by digital platforms. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of digital consumer behavior and support the development of financial education programs for young adults.

This study aims to analyze the influence of entertainment content consumption on TikTok toward the stress levels of university students. TikTok has become one of the most frequently used social media platforms among young adults, offering entertainment, distraction, and emotional relief. Meanwhile, academic stress is a common issue among students due to heavy coursework, deadlines, and pressure to perform. This research uses a quantitative method with a survey distributed to 100 active university students aged 18–24 who own a TikTok account and consume entertainment content such as comedy, challenges, and viral videos. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results show that the overall frequency of using TikTok for entertainment is very high (mean = 4.26), while the level of academic stress also falls into the high category (mean = 4.06). Regression analysis indicates that TikTok entertainment content significantly affects students’ stress levels (p < 0.001). Result found is positive, meaning higher TikTok usage is associated with higher stress. The significance value based on the simple linear regression coefficient table is 0.000 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that the variable Use of TikTok Entertainment Content (X) has an effect on the variable Stress Levels Among Students (Y).

This study aims to analyze consumer behavior towards two ready-to-drink beverage brands, Wedrink and Mixue, in Kudus Regency, as well as the psychological, social, and cultural factors that influence consumer preferences. The method used is descriptive quantitative with 26 respondents aged <18 to >27 years, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert scale questionnaire and in-depth interviews. The results show that consumer preferences are influenced by the taste of the drink, ease of access, price/promotion, as well as social and social media influence. The consumption of trendy drinks like Wedrink and Mixue not only satisfies physiological needs but also serves as a means of self-reward, relaxation, and social identity affirmation. Consumers tend to choose Mixue due to its ease of access and greater number of outlets, while Wedrink attracts attention with its distinctive flavor variants and unique experience. This study shows that the behavior of young consumers is influenced by a combination of rational, emotional, and symbolic factors, with social media playing a significant role in shaping brand perceptions and preferences. These findings provide insights for producers in designing marketing strategies that consider the social and emotional dimensions of consumers.

The increasing public awareness of global environmental issues has encouraged the emergence of the green consumerism trend, or environmentally friendly consumption behavior, across various segments of society. This shift in consumption patterns occurs in response to growing environmental sustainability challenges and climate change, which demand consumers to be more responsible in selecting, using, and disposing of products. Consumers no longer consider only price and quality, but also the environmental impact of the products they consume. This study aims to analyze the concept of green consumers, identify the factors influencing green consumption behavior, and examine its implications for the modern business environment. The research method employed is a literature study (library research) using a qualitative descriptive approach, reviewing various sources such as scientific journals, books, research reports, and recent publications relevant to the topic of green consumerism. The results indicate that environmental awareness, sustainable lifestyle values, concern for ecological impacts, as well as social influence and digital media, are the main factors shaping green consumer behavior. Furthermore, the study finds that companies capable of adapting to the green consumption trend through eco-friendly product innovation, sustainable business practices, and the implementation of corporate social responsibility will gain a positive corporate image, increase consumer trust, and create competitive advantages in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.

Power transformer theft, a pervasive issue disrupting critical infrastructure, necessitates the development of cost-effective and energy-autonomous security solutions. This paper presents the design and implementation of a detection-focused anti-theft framework that integrates a Raspberry Pi Zero W, camera module, and passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors powered by a solar system for continuous monitoring. The system is designed for remote, off-grid deployment, utilizing a headless Raspberry Pi powered by a 5V solar panel and power bank to ensure energy autonomy. Upon motion detection, captured images are processed on the edge device using OpenCV’s Haar Cascade classifier, optimized for upper-body detection to minimize false positives and verify human presence. Captured images are processed locally on the edge device using OpenCV’s Haar Cascade classifier to confirm human presence before an alert is sent to the mobile application, emphasizing real-time operation and low latency. Once an intrusion is confirmed, the images are saved locally and uploaded via the Secure File Transfer Protocol to a custom-developed Android application. The app provides a dedicated remote monitoring interface, enabling secure file transfer and system access, while providing users with immediate notifications and image management capabilities. The system emphasizes low power consumption, real-time operation, and low deployment cost. Tests over 200 triggered events under varied environmental conditions achieved 90% detection accuracy with an average latency of 4.5 s. Solar autonomy was maintained for approximately 24 h under normal operation. It is concluded that the integration of solar power, edge computing of images, and mobile monitoring provides a feasible, scalable, and financially viable framework for securing transformers, especially in resource-constrained environments.

The increasing snack consumption trend in Indonesia, along with the availability of processed snacks that are high in sugar, fat, and sodium but low in fiber, poses a significant challenge to digestive health. More than 40% of the global population experiences digestive disorders, often related to unhealthy eating patterns and low fiber intake. In response to this issue, an innovative healthy snack called TaroStik, made from taro vines (Colocasia esculenta) rich in fiber and nutrients, has been developed. This product comes in two forms, sticks and chips, with three flavor variants (salty, sweet, and spicy), offering a healthy snacking experience without sacrificing taste. Training on utilizing taro vines to create TaroStik was conducted in Banjarbaru, involving prospective entrepreneurs with a combined approach of theory, hands-on practice, and group discussions. Participants were trained from material selection, processing (peeling, soaking, steaming, frying), packaging, to social media marketing simulation. As a result, most participants were able to independently produce TaroStik, with some expressing intentions to continue production at a home scale. TaroStik not only provides a digestive health solution through natural snacks free of preservatives but also brings positive impacts in three areas: economy (creating business opportunities based on local ingredients), environment (reducing agricultural waste), and nutrition (increasing healthy food consumption). This innovation embodies the principles of green economy and sustainable entrepreneurship, opening new business opportunities and improving community welfare.

This study explores the dissemination of Sufi teachings through the TikTok account @Al.Amiin.id, highlighting how visual aesthetics, symbolism, and narrative techniques play a role in conveying spiritual messages to young audiences in the digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a critical case study strategy, this research analyses how elements such as colour, light, music, and spiritual metaphors are combined with reflective emotional narratives to preserve the depth of Sufi teachings. Drawing on Stig Hjarvard’s perspective on the mediatization of Religion, the study examines how social media not only functions as a channel for message dissemination but also reshapes religious practices and experiences. The findings reveal that @Al.Amiin.id successfully utilises the logic of digital media—such as short duration, visual aesthetics, algorithms, and trends—as instruments to present Sufism in the form of personal and easily comprehensible micro-narratives. This strategy demonstrates that Sufi preaching undergoes a process of mediatization, in which spiritual values are not merely transmitted but also reconstructed to align with the consumption patterns and cultural sensibilities of digital generations. The study further emphasises that despite the risks of commodification and simplification, Sufi preaching on social media can still preserve its spiritual depth through adaptive approaches. This research contributes to the study of how religious practices are transformed by digital media, offering a model of Sufi preaching that is communicative, inclusive, and relevant in the era of algorithms.

Minors today are increasingly involved in criminal acts, and this does not happen without reason. One contributing factor is the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Children in Ujoh Bilang Village have started consuming alcohol, influenced by several factors, despite being underage. They consume both branded alcoholic drinks and traditional beverages such as arak. Based on research conducted in Ujoh Bilang Village, Mahakam Ulu, several factors have been identified as reasons why minors consume alcohol. These include internal factors within the child, external factors such as family influence, environment, alcohol vendors, and cultural factors. These elements serve as the background for underage alcohol consumption in the village. According to the research findings, minors who consume alcohol are not subjected to criminal punishment but are instead given warnings or educational guidance and then returned to their parents. However, minors can be held criminally responsible under the juvenile criminal justice system if they are unable to control themselves due to intoxication, leading to criminal acts such as accidents, fights, or even murder. In such cases, minors may be prosecuted for their actions.

This study aims to examine the organoleptic storage life of kecicang chili sauce using vacuum storage. The research design is experimental, involving 3 trained panelists, all of whom are lecturers from the Culinary Arts Vocational Education Study Program. The data collection method used in this study was observation through organoleptic testing using a 5-point Likert scale, namely 5) Very Good, 4) Good, 3) Fairly Good, 2) Not Very Good, 1) Very Poor. Data analysis used quantitative descriptive methods. The results of this study indicate that: 1) Processing affects the quality of kecicang chili sauce, using a technique that involves grinding the ingredients using a chopper, cooking at a temperature of ±70°C, and then vacuum packing. The organoleptic test results showed that vacuum storage was able to maintain the sensory properties of the sambal, as assessed from the aspects of colour, distinctive kecicang aroma, kecicang texture, solid dough texture, and distinctive kecicang taste, which were rated “fairly good” based on colour, aroma, texture, and taste. Vacuum-sealed sambal maintained its best quality until day 3rd, with no signs of leaking. The most significant changes occurred in the flavor and aroma, rendering it unfit for consumption. The sambal packaging, which showed no signs of leaking, maintained its sensory quality until day 5.

Meeting the nutritional needs of school-age children is an important factor in supporting their health and academic achievement, especially for school children who spend most of their time at school. One form of education about balanced nutrition introduced by the Indonesian government is the Isi Piringku (Fill My Plate) program. This program serves as a dietary guide that emphasizes balanced food consumption in each serving. The main objective of this study was to understand the extent of the influence of educational media such as leaflets, audiovisual videos, and games, considering the use of flashcards in conveying the concept of balanced nutrition and encouraging healthy eating behavior changes in children. Through this approach, the study sought to identify the most effective media so that it could be used as a model for nutrition education in elementary schools. The results of this study found that there was a significant increase in knowledge between the pretest and posttest conducted on the three media (p < 0.05), while a significant change in attitude only occurred in the Leaflet and Video media (p < 0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test also showed that there was no significant difference between the three educational media (p > 0.05).

Inflation, unemployment, and deflation are three fundamental macroeconomic phenomena that are closely interconnected in influencing a nation’s economic stability. These variables illustrate the equilibrium between production capacity, consumption behavior, and government intervention in achieving sustainable economic growth. The main purpose of this study is to explore the interrelationship between inflation, unemployment, and deflation, and to assess their implications for Indonesia’s economic stability. This research applies a qualitative descriptive method, employing literature reviews, document analysis, and secondary data evaluation derived from credible institutions such as the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Bank Indonesia (BI), and the Ministry of Finance. The results suggest that a moderate level of inflation can positively stimulate economic expansion through increased consumption and investment activities. In contrast, excessive inflation tends to erode consumer purchasing power and potentially elevate unemployment rates. Meanwhile, prolonged deflationary conditions may lead to a decline in product prices, reduced business profitability, and slower economic momentum. The interaction among these three factors is complex and dynamic, necessitating a coordinated balance between fiscal and monetary policies to safeguard overall economic stability. This study concludes that effective inflation control, job creation, and deflation prevention are critical elements in strengthening Indonesia’s long-term economic resilience.

This training supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The community service activity follows the UNJ Community Service Strategic Plan (PPM Renstra) 2021–2025, focusing on education and environmental initiatives. A needs analysis conducted at SMAN 1 Muara Gembong, particularly in the school canteen, revealed that many food items sold lacked attention to health and hygiene, and did not optimize local food products. Based on this, training on personal hygiene education for the school community is needed to support school entrepreneurship programs. The training uses a practical approach integrated with digital technology through poster creation. Results showed that participants increased their awareness of health and hygiene, which improved the quality of their entrepreneurial products. The training included material on personal hygiene in entrepreneurship, with educational posters as the output. Evaluation was done using questionnaires, with data analyzed descriptively. Expected outcomes include the publication of an article, mass media exposure, YouTube video, partnership recognition, intellectual property rights registration, educational posters, and a profile of personal hygiene education for the school community in canteen management.

The advancement of digital technology has transformed children's media consumption patterns, marked by the growing use of short video content such as TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. This study aims to explore the psychological impacts of short video addiction on elementary school-aged children, focusing on cognitive, affective, and social aspects. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving 10 children, 7 parents, and 4 teachers from two elementary schools. The findings indicate that children who intensively access short videos (more than two hours per day) experience reduced concentration, emotional instability, and social withdrawal. These results were analyzed using theoretical frameworks from Piaget (cognitive), Krathwohl (affective), Erikson and Bandura (social), and Young’s digital addiction model. The main conclusion reveals that short video addiction negatively affects children's developmental tasks, including logical thinking abilities, emotional regulation, and social skills. Therefore, digital literacy-based interventions and active supervision by parents and teachers are essential to prevent the long-term detrimental impacts on children's psychological development.

Food waste generated from the household sector is one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation in Indonesia. Food waste generated from the household sector is one of the main contributors to the increasing volume of organic waste in Indonesia. This issue not only creates social and economic problems but also poses a serious threat to environmental sustainability. This study aims to analyze the contribution of household food waste to environmental degradation and to review sustainable management strategies. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA 2020 Statement to review relevant national research conducted during the period 2018-2025. The results of the literature selection show that the impacts of household food waste on environmental sustainability can be categorized into three main dimensions: (1) ecological impacts, including pollution and the increase of greenhouse gas emissions; (2) resource impacts, such as the wastage of energy, water, and land; and (3) social-environmental impacts, including the increasing burden of regional waste management and the declining quality of life for communities living near landfills. The findings emphasize that the management of household food waste plays a crucial role in achieving environmental sustainability, particularly in supporting the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, which focuses on responsible consumption and production. Therefore, it is necessary to implement strategies of reduction, reuse, and recycling of food waste at the household level to minimize the negative impacts on environmental sustainability in Indonesia.

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are religious institutions focused on education, the dissemination of Islamic knowledge, and the propagation of Islamic propagation, as well as serving as centers for the development of religious thinkers. Furthermore, pesantren also serve as platforms for human resource development and empowerment for alumni, families, and the wider community. This research aims to collect data to uncover fundamental issues arising from phenomena, realities, and experiences, thereby providing a diverse range of knowledge regarding the life and practice of pesantren-based economic empowerment. Economic empowerment is understood as both a process and a goal. As a process, economic empowerment encompasses a series of efforts to improve the economic capabilities and strengths of vulnerable communities to improve their quality of life. As a goal, economic empowerment represents the desired condition or outcome and serves as a measure of the success of the process. To realize an empowered people's economy, three main elements are required: production potential, distribution potential, and consumption potential. These three elements constitute concrete and applicable steps for effectively implementing community economic empowerment. By considering these three potentials, empowerment can be implemented in a focused and sustainable manner. Pesantren, in their historical and cultural dynamics, play a vital role in the life of the nation. Therefore, Islamic boarding schools have the capacity, both in quality and quantity, to contribute and play a significant role in efforts to empower the community's economy.

The phenomenon of fashion FOMO (fear of missing out) exerts a significant influence on fashion consumption behavior, particularly among the demographic from late adolescence to young adulthood. The fear of missing trends can lead individuals to make impulsive purchases. In contrast, the Minimalist Wardrobe concept promotes a conscious lifestyle that emphasizes functional and sustainable clothing choices. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of Fashion FoMO on purchasing decisions and to assess the role of a Minimalist Wardrobe as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing purposive sampling to collect data through surveys administered to respondents residing in Semarang City. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method with SmartPLS software. The results show that Fashion FoMO has a significant and positive influence on purchasing decisions for UNIQLO products. Meanwhile, the Minimalist Wardrobe shows an insignificant effect. These findings suggest that purchasing decisions are more strongly driven by emotional pressure from FoMO than by minimalist lifestyle considerations.

Low nutritional awareness and high consumption of unhealthy snacks remain critical issues among elementary school children, potentially affecting their growth and academic performance. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education intervention using poster media and paper-based quizzes in improving nutritional awareness among fourth to sixth grade students. The community service activity was conducted by Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) students as part of the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program in three elementary schools SD Negeri 1, 2, and 3 Kalirancang, Kebumen Regency. A descriptive-evaluative approach was employed through participatory engagement using simple, low-tech educational media to address technological limitations in the school environment. Data were collected from quiz score analyses and participatory observations during the intervention. The results showed a high participation rate (80–90%) and a substantial improvement in students’ cognitive understanding of nutrition, as indicated by the majority of correct quiz responses. However, behavioral observation revealed a noticeable gap between knowledge and practice, as many students continued to consume unhealthy snacks during school breaks. It can be concluded that poster and quiz-based interventions are effective in enhancing students’ nutritional knowledge but are insufficient to alter behavior without supportive environmental and policy interventions at the school level.

Adolescence is an important phase characterized by physical and behavioral changes, including diet and sleep, which can affect nutritional status. Frequency of fast food consumption and sleep duration are two factors that are thought to contribute to the imbalance of adolescent nutritional status. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the frequency of fast food consumption and sleep duration with nutritional status in students of SMA Negeri 6 Palu City. This study uses a quantitative approach with cross-sectional design. The population in this study active students in SMA Negeri 6 Palu city from Grade 10 to Grade 12 amounted to 841 students, with a Simple Random Sampling technique, : the results showed that most respondents were female (64.8%), age 16 years (51.7%), as many as (47.2%) students included in the category always consume fast food and (46.1%) have more sleep duration. Most nutritional Status is in the category of over nutrition (39.3%). There was a relationship between fast food consumption and nutritional status (p = 0.010) and there was no relationship between sleep duration and nutritional status (p = 0.813).
