This study explores the lives of Rohingya women residing in the Minaraya refugee camp, Padang Tiji Subdistrict, Pidie Regency, Aceh, through the lens of the Gender Agency Theory and Resilience Theory. It aims to understand how these women negotiate their roles within a patriarchal social structure and develop resilience amid economic, social, and cultural constraints. The findings reveal that Rohingya women live under a deeply entrenched patriarchal system in which men dominate decision-making processes, while women are confined to domestic responsibilities. However, their compliance should not be interpreted as mere submission; rather, it reflects a form of piety-based agency, a conscious act grounded in religious and moral values to maintain dignity and family harmony. Within the domestic sphere, women play an essential role in managing aid funds, distributing food, and regulating household expenditures. These actions demonstrate adaptive capacity and subtle role negotiation within the limits of gender norms. Spirituality serves as a significant source of strength; religious activities such as Qur'an recitations and collective prayers function as coping mechanisms for dealing with trauma and uncertainty. Furthermore, support from humanitarian organizations helps meet basic needs. However, the core of their resilience stems from family solidarity and deeply held religious values. Rohingya women in Aceh display strength through faith, social adaptation, and resource management, positioning themselves as active agents in sustaining dignity and survival amid adversity.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the personality assessment tools that is often used to identify individual psychological tendencies, including in the context of higher education. In the student environment, MBTI is widely used as a means of self-introduction, adjustment of learning styles, increasing the effectiveness of group work, and career planning. This article aims to examine the relevance of the application of MBTI among students using a literature study approach. The research method used is in the form of a review of various literature sources, such as scientific journals, books, and academic articles that discuss the basic concept of MBTI, its implementation in the field of education, and critical views regarding its limitations. The results of the study show that MBTI has a fairly relevant role as a non-diagnostic instrument in helping students understand their potential, learning preferences, and social and academic interaction patterns. In addition, the appropriate use of MBTI can support improved learning quality, teamwork effectiveness, and academic counseling services. However, a number of literature highlights the limitations of MBTI, especially regarding aspects of validity and reliability, so it is not recommended to be used as the sole basis for academic or psychological decision-making. Thus, MBTI remains relevant for students if used wisely, contextually, and based on a strong scientific foundation to support students' academic and personality development.

Learning media is a tool that can be used to help students learn better and more efficiently. The media used in SMP Negeri 23 Pekanbaru is a teacher-centered picture/poster media so that students quickly get bored, and because of the limited media from the school. Most students prefer learning that involves them directly such as the element of games.

The results of observations on all student learning activities showed that 79% got a good interpretation.

Information systems are an important element in the business world that helps businesses increase work efficiency and reduce human error. In practice, many businesses still produce financial reports manually. Manual preparation of financial reports is inefficient and tends to have a higher potential for delays, lateness, or errors in data entry. This makes the financial reports presented inaccurate and unreliable as a basis for making decisions. To address this problem, a community service program was implemented by designing an accounting system using Microsoft Access, which provides various features that can help users in data processing. The method carried out starts with observation, system design, and evaluation by the partner. The result of implementing this program is that the system designed in Microsoft Access successfully accelerated the work process for partners, making the preparation of financial reports more efficient and timely. The financial reports presented also became more accurate and reliable.      

Electricity dependence is increasing as people have easier access to electronic devices. However, this ease of access is not always accompanied by adequate energy literacy. In its Community Service program, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Jakarta helped to educate the residents in RW06 Kalibaru, Jakarta, about the safe and efficient use of electricity. This community service program was conducted through participatory seminar with a qualitative approach for residents. The activity used informal visual presentations and discussions in an informal atmosphere. The outreach program demonstrated residents' high enthusiasm for the efficiency of electrical equipment usage such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water pumps. Through the discussion session, residents realized that using air conditioners with too low a power consumption actually leads to higher energy consumption because the compressor runs continuously. Participants understood that investing in automation concepts, such as using water reservoirs, provides significant long-term electricity cost savings. This outreach successfully shifted residents' paradigm from just simply seeking low prices to selecting devices with optimal capacity according to their needs. This education program demonstrates the effectiveness of energy literacy in improving electricity consumption habits at the household level. Therefore, simple technical understanding can boost family economic financial advantages through sustainable effective energy consumptions.

In the era of globalization, children are exposed to a social environment influenced by external factors such as social media, advertising, and a consumer culture, all of which can promote a materialistic lifestyle. Consequently, financial literacy education has become essential to equip children with the necessary skills to manage their finances effectively. Beginning with a simple understanding of accounting, children can learn fundamental concepts of money management, financial decision-making, and planning. However, many young children still lack access to this vital education. Various learning methods and media, including loose parts, storytelling, and interactive educational tools, can be utilized to foster financial understanding. Additionally, this education promotes important social concepts like sharing, charity, and the responsibility of managing finances to help others. It integrates Islamic principles, emphasizing values such as honesty, justice, transparency, and the avoidance of usury. Through these principles, children are not only taught how to manage their personal finances but also how to contribute to society. By implementing financial literacy education at an early age, we can help children grow into informed, ethical, and responsible leaders in the future. This education is crucial for ensuring they make sound financial choices and contribute positively to their communities.

The development of Arabic learning materials requires a strong theoretical foundation so that the materials can help students understand the language effectively. This article aims to explain the role of linguistics, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics as the theoretical basis in the preparation of Arabic learning materials. The method used in this article is a literature study by reviewing various sources related to the development of language learning materials. The results of the study show that linguistics provides an understanding of the structure of the Arabic language, including sounds, word formation, sentence structure, and meaning. Psycholinguistics helps explain the process of language learning experienced by students so that learning materials can be designed according to their abilities and stages of development. Sociolinguistics explains the relationship between language and society so that learning materials can be adapted to the social and cultural context of language use. By integrating these three perspectives, Arabic learning materials can be developed in a more systematic, understandable, and relevant way to meet the needs of students.

The incidence of hypertension at the Tadoy Community Health Center reached 29.4%, with 78 cases reported among pregnant women in 2023, half of which were pregnancy-induced hypertension (HDK). Hypertension during pregnancy poses short-term risks to both mother and fetus. In addition to pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological therapies such as warm water foot soaking and Ambon banana consumption are considered beneficial. This study aimed to examine the effects of these two interventions on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach involving two pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension. The results showed that warm water foot soaking significantly reduced blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg at the first visit to 130/85 mmHg at the second visit, and further to 120/75 mmHg. Similarly, Ambon banana consumption reduced blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg, and eventually to 120/80 mmHg. Although both interventions were effective, warm water therapy demonstrated greater effectiveness in lowering blood pressure compared to banana consumption. These findings suggest that simple, non-pharmacological interventions can help manage hypertension in pregnancy. It is recommended that pregnant women apply warm water foot soaking independently to help control blood pressure and reduce pregnancy-related risks.

This study investigates the effectiveness of implementing group counseling services using self-regulation learning strategies to improve students' learning discipline. Learning discipline plays a crucial role as a determining factor of academic success; nevertheless, many senior high school students still demonstrate weaknesses in managing their time and fulfilling their academic responsibilities. This study adopted a quantitative approach through a quasi-experimental method utilizing a pre-test and post-test control group design. Subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique with low learning discipline scores as the primary selection criterion. Data were collected using a learning discipline scale that had been tested for its validity and reliability. Hypothesis testing was conducted through a paired sample t-test to detect changes occurring before and after the intervention was administered. The results demonstrated a meaningful improvement in students' learning discipline following participation in group counseling sessions incorporating self-regulation strategies. This technique proved beneficial in helping students plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning activities in a more structured manner. These findings suggest that incorporating self-regulation learning into group counseling has strong potential to become a leading strategy for school counselors in enhancing student discipline and academic achievement.

This study aims to analyze the application of reality therapy counseling in improving students’ learning motivation influenced by social and family environmental factors. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method supported by interview data as complementary information. Data were collected through the analysis of relevant scientific literature and supported by interviews with parents to describe students’ daily behavior. The results show that low learning motivation is influenced by an unfavorable social environment and lack of family supervision, leading to behaviors that do not support learning activities, such as poor time management and low engagement in academic tasks. The application of reality therapy using the WDEP technique (wants, doing, evaluation, planning) helps students develop self-awareness, evaluate their behavior, and plan more adaptive actions. The findings indicate that reality therapy contributes positively to improving students’ learning motivation through behavioral change and increased personal responsibility. This study concludes that reality therapy can be used as an alternative approach in helping students overcome learning motivation problems.

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.

Caring behavior is the core of high-quality nursing services. In practice, it is influenced by various psychological factors and work-related stress. Self-compassion and mindfulness are believed to help nurses maintain emotional balance in delivering empathetic and humane nursing care. This study aims to analyze the effect of self-compassion and mindfulness on nurses’ caring behavior, with work stress as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. Descriptive analysis employed the Three Box Method, while inferential analysis used SEM-PLS. The study population consisted of all nurses at Cilincing District General Hospital (N = 113), using total sampling. The results of the study indicate that the proposed model is considered fit (p = 0.133) and appropriate for testing the influence of self-compassion and mindfulness on caring behavior, with work stress as a mediating variable. Self-compassion has a significant positive effect on caring behavior (p = 0.000), while mindfulness does not have a direct effect (p = 0.891), but shows a significant indirect effect through the reduction of work stress (p = 0.044). Both self-compassion (p = 0.029) and mindfulness (p = 0.000) negatively affect work stress. Interestingly, work stress positively influences caring behavior (p = 0.030). To enhance the influence of self-compassion and mindfulness on caring behavior, hospitals should develop psychological intervention programs based on self-compassion and mindfulness to help nurses manage stress and strengthen caring practices. A systemic approach that considers organizational factors is also necessary to support the consistent implementation of caring behavior.
