The waste problem in Tamanan village is an issue that needs serious attention because of its impact on environmental pollution and public health. One of the main challenges is the low awareness of residents, especially elementary school children, in terms of good and correct waste management. A lot of waste is thrown carelessly without sorting, which results in a decrease in the quality of cleanliness and health of the village environment. This community service program aims to improve students' understanding and skills in waste management through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach for 40 days. This program involves students of MI Nurur Rahman and SDN Tamanan 1 as the main subjects. The activities carried out include socialization about the importance of waste management, the delivery of material on types of waste, as well as the practice of sorting organic, inorganic, and B3 waste. In addition, the installation of educational media in the school environment and evaluation monitoring were also carried out. The results of the evaluation showed that 73% of students were able to answer the quiz questions correctly ≥70%, which indicates their good understanding of waste management. Some students also began to implement the habit of separating waste at home and inviting families to participate. Support from village officials and the existence of educational media are expected to strengthen the sustainability of this program. Participatory approaches have proven to be effective in raising environmental awareness and can be implemented sustainably through collaboration between schools, communities, and village governments.

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are medical records compiled and stored through an electronic system used to support the provision of healthcare services. The implementation of EMR facilitates faster, more practical, and integrated patient data recording. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are designed to improve the efficiency, accessibility, and accuracy of patient information within healthcare institutions. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design through interviews to assess the readiness of EMR implementation in terms of the 5M management aspects (Man, Money, Material, Machine, Method) at Muhammadiyah General Hospital, Ponorogo Regency. The study sample consisted of 27 healthcare workers selected using a purposive sampling technique. The case study design allowed researchers to capture in-depth insights from healthcare workers directly involved in EMR implementation. The results showed that from the Man element, most healthcare workers were ready to use EMR, as indicated by their comfort and skills in operating the application. In the Money element, there is a system maintenance budget and support for EMR development in the inpatient unit and the Emergency Room. The Material element indicates the availability of adequate software, while the Machine element includes computer devices, internet connections, and a stable server to support users. These technological resources ensure a user-friendly and reliable system. The final element, Method, is demonstrated by the existence of clear SOPs and workflows, enabling healthcare workers to understand and effectively follow the EMR implementation process. Overall, the findings indicate that the hospital is institutionally prepared for EMR adoption.    

The development of information technology that is booming in Indonesia makes a lot of people interested in using gadgets, especially among school-age children. The existence of positive and negative impacts caused by the use of gadgets becomes a warning to always be vigilant in using gadgets. The study was motivated by a desire to find out whether gadget exposure in elementary school students has a relationship with diet, whether gadget exposure in elementary school students has a relationship with memory, and whether gadget exposure in elementary school students has a relationship with their physical activity. By using a quantitative correlation approach that seeks to ascertain the degree of relationship between variables. Random sample selection with the number of samples used as many as 62 fifth graders from SDN Kludan were selected to participate in this study. The data were collected using smartphone addiction index-short version (SAS-SV), semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), Digit span test, and Physical activity questionnaire for older children (PAQ-C).  The results of the study explain that there is a significant relationship between exposure to gadgets with diet evidenced by the significant value of 0.000<0.05, and there is no significant relationship between exposure to gadgets with memory and physical activity with significant values of 0.124>0.05 and 0.157>0.05.

In the Indonesian economic system, cooperatives play a crucial role as one of the pillars of the national economy, as mandated in Article 33 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This article emphasizes that "the economy is structured as a joint venture based on the principle of kinship," which serves as the constitutional basis for the existence and development of cooperatives in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is normative juridical, focusing on legal frameworks and regulations related to cooperatives. The results of the study indicate that the government holds an important and strategic role in regulating and supervising cooperatives to ensure the protection of the rights and obligations of cooperative members. Through regulatory instruments such as Law Number 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives, the government establishes cooperative principles, good governance standards, and oversight and development mechanisms. The government’s efforts are aimed at ensuring the operation of cooperatives is transparent, accountable, and beneficial to all members. Furthermore, the study found that despite these regulatory efforts, significant challenges remain in the cooperative sector. These include issues such as weak financial reporting, low literacy rates among cooperative members, and the dominance of local elites, which can hinder the equitable distribution of benefits. These challenges need to be addressed to ensure that cooperatives can fulfill their role as economic agents that contribute to national development in line with the principles of kinship and mutual benefit.

Agreements are an important instrument in everyday life, both in the social and economic spheres. In practice, agreements are not always made in written form, but are often made orally. This phenomenon raises legal questions about whether oral agreements have valid legal force and can be used as a basis for dispute resolution. This study aims to analyze the legal status of oral agreements from the perspective of Indonesian civil law by referring to Article 1320 of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), which regulates the requirements for a valid agreement. The research method used is normative juridical with an approach to relevant laws and legal doctrines. The results of the study indicate that oral agreements remain legally valid as long as they meet the four requirements for a valid agreement: agreement of the parties, capacity to enter into an agreement, the existence of a specific object, and a lawful cause. However, the main problem arising from oral agreements is the difficulty in proving them when disputes arise, given the lack of written evidence that can be used as a basis before the law. Therefore, although civil law does not require a written form for the validity of an agreement, writing an agreement is still recommended to provide legal certainty, facilitate proof, and protect the interests of the parties. This finding underscores the importance of public legal awareness in choosing a form of agreement that is safer and has stronger evidentiary force.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of low self-esteem experienced by some students of Sufism and Psychotherapy at UIN Raden Intan Lampung, particularly due to feelings of insecurity regarding their physical appearance. This condition often stems from a lack of self-confidence that arises from the beginning, especially related to the chosen study program. Students who feel insecure about their academic choices tend to experience feelings of insecurity that impact various aspects of life, particularly physical appearance. They feel different and less confident, which ultimately affects their self-acceptance and self-esteem. Consequently, this condition contributes to a decline in low self-esteem. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on criteria of low self-esteem related to feelings of insecurity about appearance. The results of the study indicate that the understanding of gratitude is not merely an expression of outward thanks, but it forms a deep inner awareness of divine wisdom in various circumstances. Students who internalize the understanding of gratitude tend to be more capable of self-acceptance, reducing feelings of insecurity, and building a positive outlook on their existence. The understanding of gratitude strengthens inner peace, enhances self-confidence, and motivates comprehensive self-improvement. These findings affirm that the understanding of gratitude is an effective spiritual approach to addressing low self-esteem and can serve as a relevant mentoring model for students.

Divine love is the ultimate goal of human life and occupies the highest maqam in the spiritual journey. This love begins from self-love that grows because it always remembers the Creator (Allah), then dissolves in dhikr and deep spiritual contemplation, until a person begins to let go of his attachment to the world and prefers closeness to Allah. Love for Allah is a deep mental condition, in which the beloved (human) is willing to open the veil of his ego in order to welcome the presence of the true Lover (Allah). In this context, Jalaluddin Rumi's thinking is particularly relevant, especially when viewed philosophically as to how Divine love becomes possible to grow in a person. It can also be seen as an answer to the disruptive attempts of Western thought that tend to separate spirituality and human existence. Morality is a principle that is closely related to good and bad in human behavior. Human actions are inseparable from moral judgment, whether they are right or wrong, good or bad. Humans as spiritual beings have an awareness of the meaning and purpose of life, different from other beings who, although intelligent, do not have an existential dimension and transcendent consciousness. This awareness is the basis for the emergence of moral responsibility and the search for the true meaning of life. 

The Atur Dahar tradition is a ceremony to feed supernatural beings by leaving food overnight in a room, some are also drowned in the river. This tradition has become a hereditary custom by their ancestors. The existing actions are considered tabzir/wasteful and shirk. This study uses a normative empirical research type, the focus of this research is the views of religious leaders on the Atur Dahar tradition in Pait Village, Long Ikis District. The data analysis technique is carried out using a qualitative descriptive method, namely describing, explaining, and analyzing the results of the study by reviewing the study of 'urf. The procession of the Atur Dahar tradition in the celebration of the Banjar community in Pait village is divided into two implementations, namely dishes provided for ancestors, some are left overnight in the corner of the house and some are drowned in the river, but now the Atur Dahar tradition has been changed from food to which prayers are read and some have not changed, namely in the procession such as leftover food that becomes waste, and food that is less suitable or dirty is given to the community. Ten religious leaders agreed on the existence of the Atur Dahar tradition in celebrations if it complies with Islamic law. The Atur Dahar tradition is part of 'Urf Amali' because it is an act carried out by the community, especially the Banjar tribe in Pait village. This tradition is included in 'Urf Khash' because it is a custom of the Banjar tribe in Pait village. In terms of law, it is included in 'Urf Sahih', because some of the procession is in accordance with Islamic law, such as praying to Allah SWT and sharing food as alms with others. This tradition can also be included in 'Urf Fasid' because it is wasteful.

The rapid development of digital technology has had a significant impact on various aspects of human life, including the distribution and consumption of entertainment content. One form of entertainment that has undergone a major transformation is film, where the existence of digital platforms has made access to various film titles increasingly easy, fast, and practical. The presence of official, legal streaming services offers a comfortable viewing experience and supports the sustainability of the film industry. However, on the other hand, this phenomenon has also given rise to a new problem, namely the increasing practice of accessing films through illegal streaming sites that are easily found on the internet. The use of illegal streaming sites certainly has various consequences, both legal, ethical, and economic. From a legal perspective, such actions clearly violate copyright, which should be protected by law. From an economic perspective, this illegal practice is detrimental to many parties, from film producers and distributors to the state, which loses potential revenue. However, the reality on the ground shows that the majority of the public, especially students, still frequently use illegal sites due to considerations of free access, the availability of the latest films, and ease of use. Based on this phenomenon, this study focuses on evaluating the perceptions of students at the Indonesian Computer University (UNIKOM) regarding the legality of using illegal streaming sites. The research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative approach, with primary data obtained through questionnaires distributed to 30 students from various study programs. The results are expected to provide insight into students' level of legal awareness and the factors influencing their choices regarding accessing films through legal and illegal channels. These findings are also expected to provide input for stakeholders in formulating educational and outreach strategies regarding the importance of respecting copyright.

Child marriage remains a serious problem in Indonesia despite the revision of the Marriage Law, which raised the minimum age for marriage to 19 for both men and women through Law No. 16 of 2019. This practice remains widespread, especially in rural areas with a high prevalence due to economic and cultural factors, the existence of marriage dispensation mechanisms, and low legal literacy. The phenomenon of child marriage has multidimensional impacts, including reproductive health risks, high school dropout rates, low quality human resources, economic vulnerability, and psychological problems that can ultimately lead to high divorce rates and intergenerational structural poverty. Through Community Service Activities (PKM), prevention efforts are carried out by providing legal education and outreach regarding the risks of early marriage. Methods used include lectures, presentations, modeling, role plays, and small group discussions involving teenagers, parents, traditional leaders, and religious leaders. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in legal understanding, where 85% of participants were aware of the minimum age for marriage according to the latest regulations. Furthermore, there was increased awareness of the negative impacts of child marriage and a growing commitment from community leaders to continue ongoing outreach. The conclusion of this activity confirmed that marriage law education is an effective strategy in raising public awareness. However, preventing child marriage cannot rely solely on legal outreach; it needs to be strengthened through cross-sector collaboration, integration of materials into the school curriculum, family economic empowerment, and strengthening the role of religious and traditional leaders in shaping social opinion. Therefore, efforts to prevent early marriage require a more holistic, participatory, and sustainable strategy to protect children's rights and realize the development of a quality future generation.

The Mataram High Court Decision Number 183/PDT/2023/PT MTR, which upheld the Selong District Court Decision Number 59/PDT/2023/PN SEL, stated that the Appellants' (formerly the Plaintiffs) lawsuit was inadmissible because there were parties who had not been involved in the case (lack of parties). The legal fact regarding this lack of parties had actually emerged since the on-site examination stage conducted by the Panel of Judges at the first instance. In fact, this had also been expressly conveyed by the Appellees (formerly the Defendants) through an exception. However, the Panel of Judges rejected the exception and ultimately contradictorily declared the lawsuit inadmissible. This study emphasizes the urgency of considering the results of the on-site examination in relation to the lack of parties and its implications for the ownership status of the disputed object after the decision. The research method used is a normative juridical approach, with analysis referring to statutory provisions, legal doctrine, and civil law principles. Specifically, this study highlights the law of evidence and the position of on-site examination in the judicial process. The research results show that on-site inspections actually play a crucial role in assessing evidence and witness statements related to the existence of parties who should be called into the lawsuit. However, this urgency is lost because the panel of judges' considerations are inconsistent with the provisions regarding the strength of evidence as stipulated in Article 284 of the RBg. Furthermore, the exception regarding the lack of parties whose substance is similar to the results of the on-site inspection is actually set aside. A further implication of this decision is that the ownership status of the disputed object does not change. After the decision is rendered, the object remains in the possession of the Respondents, without legal clarity regarding who the party legally has authority over it.

Gunungsari Village, Windusari District, is one of the areas facing quite serious challenges in efforts to develop basic literacy in school-age children. The main problems faced are low interest in reading, limited access to adequate reading materials, and learning methods that are still conventional. These conditions have implications for many children who are not able to read and write fluently despite having received an elementary school education. In response to this situation, the community service team took the initiative to implement a literacy program that uses an interactive learning approach through the development of a literacy park. This program is not only designed to be a learning platform, but also to create a learning atmosphere that is fun, contextual, and involves the active participation of children. Various activities are implemented, including storytelling, the provision of a reading corner, educational games such as math games, vocabulary quizzes, and the provision of simple rewards to maintain high learning motivation. This program activities are carried out periodically with the involvement of the school, the surrounding community, and also the village government, so that its sustainability has the support of various parties. The results of the implementation show a significant increase in children's literacy skills. Not only are they reading more fluently, but they are also better able to comprehend story content and write simple ideas. Furthermore, the children appear more confident in expressing themselves, are more active in every learning activity, and are beginning to demonstrate positive reading habits. A culture of literacy is also slowly growing through the existence of child-friendly and inclusive literacy parks. This proves that a fun, community-based literacy approach is highly relevant in rural areas with limited resources and can be a simple yet impactful means of educational transformation for children's futures.

This study aims to analyze the framing of heritage tourism news in the online media DetikJatim.com during the period of July to December 2024. The research uses a qualitative method with Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis approach, which includes four elements: define problem, diagnose causes, make moral judgment, and treatment recommendation. A total of 28 news articles were analyzed and classified into six categories of heritage tourism. The findings show that DetikJatim frames the main issue as the lack of historical preservation and the weakening of the meaning of heritage areas amid modernization. The highlighted causes include weak historical literacy, dominance of folk narratives without academic support, and the repurposing of historical spaces. Morally, the media views historical preservation and the strengthening of local identity as a collective responsibility, encouraging the public to understand and appreciate history. The suggested solutions include reintroducing historical knowledge, educating through narratives of struggle, revitalizing sites, or simply highlighting their existence

This study examines the empowerment of civil servants and its contribution to improving the quality of public services in Southwest Papua Province, with particular focus on the Human Resources Development Personnel Agency (BKPSDM: Badan Kepegawaian Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia). The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to capture and analyze empowerment practices as well as their supporting and inhibiting factors. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation, involving key informants such as the Head of BKPSDM and relevant staff members. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which consists of three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings reveal that empowerment practices at BKPSDM encompass structured recruitment policies for both Indigenous Papuans (OAP) and non-OAPs, systematic career development, provision of education and training programs, and implementation of fair compensation mechanisms. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing civil servants’ competencies, professionalism, motivation, and accountability, ultimately contributing to better service delivery to the public. Supporting factors identified include the existence of strong regulatory frameworks, leadership commitment, competency-based training opportunities, high internal motivation, and the establishment of a collaborative work culture. On the other hand, several inhibiting factors persist, such as limited and unequal access to training, inadequate infrastructure, frequent changes in regulations, discriminatory practices, and low levels of digital literacy among some employees. The study concludes that civil servant empowerment represents a strategic pathway to building a professional, accountable, and responsive state apparatus capable of delivering high-quality public services. To strengthen these efforts, recommendations highlight the importance of expanding training access, improving digital skills, ensuring infrastructure readiness, and maintaining inclusive and transparent policies. By addressing these challenges, civil servant empowerment can be optimized to achieve sustainable improvements in public service performance across Southwest Papua Province.

In the digital era, conventional media such as radio face significant challenges due to shifts in media consumption behavior, particularly among urban youth who prefer digital platforms and social media. Jak 101 FM has adapted by utilizing Instagram digital media in an off-air program titled “Jak After School” to reach a broader audience and build a positive image. This study examines the public relations strategy of Jak 101 FM in managing Instagram as part of promotion and image enhancement using descriptive qualitative methods and Chris Heuer's 4C theory (context, communication, collaboration, and connection). Research findings show that Jak 101 FM's public relations strategy involves creative content production, utilization of Instagram's interactive features, collaborating with local communities and influencers, and building emotional connections with audiences. The “Jak After School” program become an effective medium that strengthens audience loyalty and maintains Jak 101 FM's existence amid digital media industry competition.

Happiness is the ultimate goal of every human aspiration. To achieve it to the fullest, humans strive to utilize all their potential. However, in practice, conflicts often arise between personal interests and the interests of others. The desire to realize all dreams becomes problematic when carried out without regard for moral values, especially in a household life built through the sacred bond of marriage. Many married couples fail to create domestic happiness due to uncontrolled ambition. This ambition, when not balanced with ethics and morals, has the potential to cause domestic conflict that results in the neglect of children's education in the family. A current widespread phenomenon shows that married couples spend more time outside the home for work reasons. This opens up opportunities for promiscuity in public spaces and reduces attention to family. If this phenomenon continues, serious problems in the family will become increasingly apparent. The rights and obligations of husband and wife are neglected, affection for children is diminished, and ultimately children feel more comfortable seeking environments outside the home. This condition becomes the entry point for negative speculation from society about married couples who are considered negligent in their household obligations. This research is expected to provide a significant contribution to understanding how families should function optimally. By placing religion as a foundation and making ethics and morals the foundation of social interactions, families can return to their true nature as the birthplace of quality generations with character, ethics, and spiritual values.  

The compensation system is an important element in human resource management, because it plays a direct role in influencing employee motivation, performance, and job satisfaction. In human resource management, the existence of human resources plays a vital role that must be considered by the company, including in terms of compensation. The ideal compensation system is one based on the principles of fairness and appropriateness, which can be directly felt by employees. The assessment of fairness and appropriateness can be seen from several dimensions, namely the internal dimension relating to the suitability of workload and rewards received, the external dimension considering company policies and market standards, and the individual dimension relating to the ability of compensation to meet employee living needs. Based on this, this study focuses on the compensation system implemented at the Double-Tree By Hilton Bintaro Jaya Hotel, specifically for banquet kitchen staff consisting of contract staff and daily workers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that the compensation system for contract staff has been running optimally. From the internal side, the workload is considered commensurate with the rewards received. Externally, the compensation provided is competitive compared to competing companies. Furthermore, from an individual perspective, employees' living needs are met, even supported by a substantial service charge that exceeds their base salary. However, for daily workers, the compensation system is deemed suboptimal. Although their workload is equivalent to that of contract staff, their compensation is not the same, and they do not receive a service charge. Based on these findings, this study recommends optimizing the compensation system, particularly for daily workers, to ensure fairness and equity across all staff levels, thereby increasing work motivation, loyalty, and overall performance.
