This article examines the concept of wisdom in Proverbs 1:7 as an ethical guideline for the growth of Christian faith. In the midst of modern challenges such as moral relativism, secularization, and the crisis of spiritual authority, a re-understanding of Biblical wisdom becomes a significant theological urgency. Through a hermeneutical-theological approach, this study integrates exegesis of the text of Proverbs 1:7 with contextual analysis and ethical reflection to show that the “fear of the LORD” is the epistemological and moral foundation of the believer's life. Wisdom, in the biblical sense, functions not only as a rational faculty, but also as a divine gift that shapes character, deepens relationship with God, and enables believers to live ethically in society. The results show that the growth of true Christian faith is reflected in an active spirituality and ethical actions that are rooted in a God-fearing relationship. Thus, Proverbs 1:7 is not only a theological basis, but also relevant as a practical principle in shaping an authentic and transformative Christian life in the contemporary era.

This study examines the strategic role of collaborative learning in strengthening students’ faith and character within the context of Christian Religious Education (CRE). In the face of globalization and the rapid development of digital technology, CRE is increasingly expected to go beyond the transmission of theological knowledge and actively nurture the application of Christian values in daily life. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research includes classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving both teachers and students engaged in collaborative learning. The results show that collaborative learning fosters active student engagement, character formation, improved social interaction, and a deeper understanding of spiritual values. Teachers are shown to play a critical role as facilitators, cultivating an inclusive and dialogical classroom environment. The study finds that this learning model effectively integrates faith development with critical thinking and interpersonal skills. The findings also underscore the importance of pedagogical innovation in CRE to better respond to the educational needs of a younger generation living in a diverse and digitally connected society. Therefore, collaborative learning can be viewed as a relevant and impactful strategy for renewing Christian education in today’s complex educational landscape.

The partners for this community service activity are UMKM which are engaged in goat slaughtering. One of the problems faced is that the process of removing goat skin is still manual, that is, it still uses human labor, where using human power for the goat skinning process requires less efficient time. Therefore, these UMKM really need a touch of technology related to the goat skin removal method to overcome the problems of UMKM engaged in the business of slaughtering goats and selling goat meat. Therefore, in community service activities, goat skin pulling machines will be handed over to partner entrepreneurs, namely MSMEs. Mak Ngat at the Rasmala market in the Srondol Wetan housing complex, Banyumanik sub-district, Semarang city. Impact After using a goat skin pulling machine for Mak'Ngat UMKM, the goat skinning process is more economical, namely when done manually it can skin 12 goats in one hour, but when done using a machine, 12 goats can be done in 15 minutes and this number has increased drastically

Knee osteoarthritis is a global health issue with increasing prevalence, particularly among the elderly population. This condition is characterized by primary symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, and reduced physical function, which significantly limit the patient's daily activities. One promising non-pharmacological approach to managing knee osteoarthritis is Home-Based Resistance Training (HBRT). HBRT combines the effectiveness of resistance training with the convenience of being performed at home and is increasingly supported by advancements in telerehabilitation technology. This study is a systematic review conducted based on the PRISMA-P guidelines, with literature searches from PubMed, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases. The included articles were English-language publications from 2019 to 2024 that evaluated the effectiveness of HBRT in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The findings indicate that HBRT is significantly effective in reducing joint pain, with a decrease in WOMAC scores ranging from 24.78% to 29.64% (p < 0.001), and improving physical function by 21.54% to 30.2%. These improvements meet the Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) criteria, indicating clinically significant benefits. Furthermore, the effectiveness of HBRT is comparable to machine-based training, particularly in patients with high baseline severity. With standardized exercise protocols and adequate technological support, HBRT can be considered a feasible and effective intervention strategy in the rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis patients, especially in the digital era and in contexts where access to conventional healthcare facilities is limited.

Sola fide is the main Reformed teaching that salvation is only obtained through faith alone, not through charity or good deeds. in the 16th century the practice of indulgences and the Catholic church's emphasis on good works gave rise to doubts in the faith, which later gave rise to the Reform Movement. In response, the reformers restored the principle of sola fide to protect believers in the Lord Jesus from doubts about their Faith. The aim of this research is to analyze the role of sola fide in strengthening believers' faith before reform skepticism, through a literature review of the writings of reformer figures. The results show that emphasizing God's sovereign grace, the sufficiency of faith for forgiveness of sins and assurance of salvation, and sola fide can strengthen believers' faith against attacks of skepticism. This understanding provides important insight for believers today about how to strengthen their faith in the face of increasing skepticism. Overall, this research shows the central role of the principle of sola fide in the history of Christian thought.

This study aims to identify and address the challenges of early childhood character education in facing the digital era full of exposure to inappropriate content. Through a qualitative approach with the Community-Based Research (CBR) method, this study involved early childhood, teachers, parents, and religious/community leaders in designing practical solutions. The identification results showed several challenges, such as exposure to inappropriate content, lack of parental supervision, and dependence on digital technology.

By implementing a community-based faith and piety strengthening program, through religious value story activities, role-playing, and discipline activities, it is hoped that there will be an increase in understanding, positive behavioral changes in children, and more targeted use of digital technology. Recommendations include increasing parental digital literacy, compiling an educational curriculum that supports character strengthening, and providing a safe and child-friendly educational space. This study contributes to the understanding of the importance of strengthening the faith and piety of early childhood in the digital era and provides practical guidance for parents, educators, and the community in guiding early childhood towards the formation of good character according to religious values.

This study investigates the interplay between linguistic relativity and cultural schemata, examining how language encodes culturally salient concepts and shapes cognitive frameworks across diverse communities. Through ethnographic and psycholinguistic approaches, the study collects data from 12 different language communities with varied cultural backgrounds. Cross-linguistic and cross-cultural analyses reveal significant correlations between linguistic structures—such as grammatical categories, lexical distinctions, and metaphorical expressions—and culturally specific schemata in spatial, temporal, and social domains. Perception and cognitive reasoning experiments were conducted with 450 participants to test linguistic relativity hypotheses in cultural contexts. Quantitative and qualitative findings demonstrate that linguistic patterns both reflect and reinforce cultural norms, influencing perception and cognitive strategies. Analysis of cultural text corpora shows how linguistic categories serve as vehicles for internalizing cultural values and worldviews. Specifically, the study finds systematic variations in spatial information processing, time conceptualization, and social event interpretation that correlate with language features of respective communities. These results underscore the co-constitutive relationship between language and culture in shaping human thought, providing important implications for cross-cultural education, intercultural communication, and cognitive theory.

The development of language skills in children is an important factor in their growth. However, not all children experience language development appropriate for their age, one of which is speech delay. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence speech delay in children at RA Nurul Iman School, Beringin Jaya Village. The method used was direct observation of children experiencing speech delay, along with the delivery of educational materials to parents and teachers regarding the importance of verbal stimulation and the regulation of gadget usage. The research results show that the main factors causing speech delay in children at this school are excessive use of gadgets and a lack of verbal stimulation from parents. The study concludes that regulating gadget usage and increasing verbal stimulation from parents can help address speech delay issues in children and support their language development optimally. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness among parents about their role in supporting their children's speech development

Ready-to-drink (RTD) chocolate beverages are increasingly popular, yet traditional formulations often contain dairy components while some consumers are lactose intolerance. The primary challenges in RTD chocolate beverages include achieving acceptable flavor profiles and managing cocoa powder precipitation. This study aimed to formulate a non-dairy ready-to-drink chocolate beverage using a hedonic test and  enhance its physical stability through varied xanthan gum concentrations applying Completely Randomized Design (CRD).A hedonic test involving 30 untrained respondents determined the most preferred formula with the highest preference level (3.7), which consisted of 40% local cocoa powder from Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, 15% commercial cocoa powder, and 45% castor sugar. Stability analysis involved incorporating xanthan gum at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.15%, and 0.2% (w/v). Results demonstrated that 0.2% xanthan gum concentration yielded the highest viscosity (98 N.s/m²), significantly differing from the control. The lowest precipitation was observed at 0.2% concentration (p-value 0.048). Particle size analysis revealed progressive reduction from 21 μm to 5 μm with increasing xanthan gum concentration. The study conclusively identified 0.2% (w/v) xanthan gum as the most effective concentration for improving chocolate beverage stability, offering a promising approach for developing innovative, dairy-free RTD products.

The addition of probiotics such as Lactobacillus sp to fermented feed is expected to improve nutrient digestibility, suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, and improve feed conversion efficiency, thereby promoting optimal shrimp growth. This study used an experimental method on vannamei shrimp doc 80 using a complete randomized design (RAL) with four treatments: P0 (feed without fermentation as a control), P1 (feed fermentation for 0 hours 10ml/100g with Lactobacillus sp), P2 (feed fermentation for 24 hours with 10ml/100g Lactobacillus sp), P3 (feed fermentation for 48 hours 10ml/100g Lactobacillus sp), P3 (feed fermentation for 72 hours 10ml/100g Lactobacillus sp) by doing 6 repetitions which were carried out for 1 month/30 days in the maintenance tub. The results showed that Treatment A without fermentation gave absolute growth with an average of 1 gr, Treatment B with no fermentation gave absolute growth with an average of 1.89 grams, Treatment C with a fermentation time of 48 hours gave absolute weight growth with an average of 2.15 grams, Treatment D with no fermentation gave absolute growth with an average of 0.74 grams. Meanwhile, the water quality parameters during the study were obtained with water temperature ranging from 28.3-29.6o C, pH ranging from 7.8-8.0, and dissolved oxygen ranging from 4.03-4.66 mg/l. With the anova test, the absolute weight growth showed that with different fermentation time differences, there was a real effect on the growth of vannamei shrimp in C treatment, which was 2.15 gr. And in the results of the anova test, the four water quality parameters were not different between the treatments and were in the optimal range in the life of vannamei shrimp. Based on this study, it can be suggested that the optimal fermented feed is in the time range of 48 hours and there is further research for doc 80 and above.

Aloe vera gel contains antioxidative phenolic compounds. Fresh aloe vera gel is less accepted by the community due to its bitter taste from its latex. An acceptable alternative to aloe vera products is an aloe vera gel beverage because people of all ages currently favor light drinks. This study aims to produce aloe vera gel beverages with high antioxidant content by varying the gel size and boiling duration for easy consumption and preference by panelists. This research employed a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatment factors, namely variations in gel size (0.5x1 cm, 1x2 cm, 2x3 cm) and boiling duration (10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes). The obtained data were subsequently analyzed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If differences were found, Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was conducted at a significance level of 5%. The research results indicate that variations in gel size and boiling duration affect antioxidant activity, moisture content, total sugar content, gel texture, and preference level. The acceptable aloe vera gel beverage, preferred by the panelists which made with a gel size of 0.5x1 cm and a boiling duration of 10 minutes, with exhibited the highest antioxidant activity 6.72% RSA, moisture content 94.15%, total sugar content 13.35%, hardness (6.25 g/cm2, and deformation 2.81 mm.

Notaries have a crucial role in making the deed of establishment of a limited liability company which is the basis for the existence of a legal entity. However, in practice, deeds containing false data are often found, causing legal problems related to the liability of the parties involved. This research aims to analyse the application of the piercing the corporate veil doctrine to limited liability companies established with false data as well as the notary's responsibility in such cases. The research method used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil can be applied when there is evidence of abuse of the legal entity, so that the responsibility shifts to the owner or management. In addition, notaries who are negligent or intentionally allow forgery can be held civil, administrative, and criminal liabilities. Therefore, notaries must apply the precautionary principle in making deeds to avoid legal consequences.

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by Orthopoxvirus, presenting clinical challenges due to its visual similarity to other dermatological conditions. Early and accurate detection is crucial to prevent further transmission, yet conventional diagnostic methods are often resource-intensive and time-consuming. This study proposes a deep learning-based classification model by integrating Xception and InceptionV3 using feature fusion to enhance performance in classifying Monkeypox skin lesions. Given the limited availability of annotated medical images, data augmentation was applied using Albumentation to improve model generalization. The proposed model was trained and evaluated on the Monkeypox Skin Lesion Dataset (MSLD), achieving 85.96% accuracy, 86.47% precision, 85.25% recall, 78.43% specificity, and an AUC score of 0.8931, outperforming existing methods. Notably, data augmentation significantly improved recall from 81.23% to 85.25%, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing sensitivity to positive cases. Ablation studies further validated that augmentation increased overall accuracy from 82.02% to 85.96%, emphasizing its role in improving model robustness. Comparative analysis with other models confirmed the superiority of our approach. This research enhances automated Monkeypox detection, offering a robust and efficient tool for low-resource clinical settings. The findings reinforce the potential of feature fusion and augmentation in improving deep learn-ing-based medical image classification, facilitating more reliable and accessible disease identification.
