This community service activity aims to foster the religious character of the community in Timbang Langkat Village through an Islamic literacy program. This program is implemented as a form of contribution from the Real Work Lecture (KKN) students in strengthening religious values in the community by increasing interest in reading, understanding, and practicing Islamic teachings contextually. The activity method is carried out with an approach implemented through counseling, religious studies, group discussions, and relevant, good and correct worship guidance according to the sunnah. The results of the implementation of the activity show a sense of enthusiasm from the community in participating in the literacy activities carried out, as well as the emergence of positive changes in the religious nature and behavior of children and the surrounding community, such as increased awareness of worship, social concern, and enthusiasm for learning worship such as prayer and tilawah. In addition, this activity also fosters a sense of togetherness between students and the community in building an environment with an Islamic character. The continued impact of this activity is seen from the formation of small study groups that independently continue Islamic literacy activities after the program ends. Thus, this Islamic literacy-based community service has proven effective as a means of developing sustainable religious character in the community, while strengthening the synergy between the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra and the Timbang Langkat Village community in developing local potential based on Islamic values.

This study aims to investigate the impact of Instagram social media use on deviant behavior among students at Campus 3 of Mercu Buana University in Yogyakarta. The phenomenon of increased intensity of social media use among students is the main basis of this study, in which Instagram not only functions as an instrument of communication and self-expression, but also as a medium that has the potential to trigger various forms of deviant behavior, such as cyberbullying, self-image manipulation, and social norm violations. The research method used integrates quantitative methods with descriptive design and simple linear regression analysis. Data was collected through a survey distributed to 100 active student participants, whose sample was determined using a simple random sampling method. Validity and reliability tests showed that all research instruments met the criteria for validity and reliability, as reflected in a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.946. The relationship between Instagram and deviant behavior among students is represented by the regression equation Y = 2.300X + 0.641. These findings indicate that an increase in the frequency of Instagram use correlates with an increase in the potential for students to adopt deviant behavior. It is hoped that this study can serve as a basis for improving digital literacy and educating students on the ethical use of social media in a university environment.

The flipped classroom model emerges as an innovative pedagogical approach that fosters active student participation and cultivates personal responsibility for learning, particularly within the context of distance education. This method presents a valuable alternative for delivering practical-oriented courses such as Applied Ethnomusicology. In practice, the instructor’s role shifts from a traditional knowledge transmitter to a learning facilitator whose responsibilities include guiding, inspiring, and supporting students in achieving optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the flipped classroom model in the online learning of the rapa’i musical instrument at the Department of Performing Arts, Syiah Kuala University. Additionally, it seeks to describe the subjective perceptions and responses of both students and lecturers toward this instructional approach. Online learning was conducted using Zoom Meeting as the primary platform for synchronous interaction, supported by WhatsApp for content distribution and communication. A formative research methodology was employed, involving 20 students enrolled in the Applied Ethnomusicology course. Qualitative data were collected through observations of each flipped classroom phase and in-depth interviews with participants. Quantitative analysis was conducted to assess effectiveness via N-gain calculations. Results indicate that all stages of the flipped classroom model were successfully implemented, and the online learning process proceeded adequately despite challenges such as limited internet access and the scarcity of personal rapa’i instruments. Quantitatively, the model demonstrated moderate effectiveness, with an N-gain value of 0.3. Overall, students displayed high levels of enthusiasm and consistent engagement during each learning session, reflecting a significant increase in learning involvement.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the intensity of playing the online game Mobile Legends and the consumptive behavior of university students at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban. The research was motivated by the growing phenomenon of digital consumption among students, particularly through virtual item purchases via microtransactions. A quantitative correlational approach was employed, using purposive sampling involving 40 active student players of Mobile Legends. Research instruments consisted of Likert-scale questionnaires measuring two main variables: gaming intensity (frequency and duration) and consumptive behavior (impulsive buying, wastefulness, and non-rational consumption). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test, revealing a positive and significant relationship between gaming intensity and consumptive behavior (r = 0.558; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher gaming intensity increases students’ tendency toward hedonic and symbolic digital consumption. The study highlights that students’ consumptive behavior in the digital era is shaped not only by economic factors but also by social influence, self-control, and emotional gratification. The research implies the need for enhanced digital financial literacy and self-regulation awareness among students to mitigate excessive consumptive behavior.

The Teaching Campus Program provides students with direct experience in collaborating with teachers and principals to improve the quality of learning, particularly in literacy, numeracy, and technology adaptation.

This study uses a program evaluation research type with a quantitative approach. The research population consisted of 35 students, all of whom were sampled using total sampling technique. The research variable was the evaluation of the implementation of the Campus Teaching Program based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Based on the results of the study, the evaluation of the implementation of the Campus Teaching Program among FT UNP students was overall “Fairly Good”. This provides learning experiences outside the campus and improves student skills. However, efforts to improve the quality of each evaluation dimension, especially in terms of student placement relevant to their study programs, clarity of guidelines, and preparatory curriculum, are necessary to achieve the “Very Good” category and maximize the program's contribution.

Rapid developments in information technology have made laptops an essential device for students, especially those in their final year of study. Choosing the right laptop plays an important role in supporting academic productivity, such as writing theses, analyzing data, and developing software. This study aims to classify the preferences of mathematics students at Gorontalo State University in choosing laptops based on usage characteristics and factors that influence purchasing decisions. The method used is Kernel Discriminant Analysis (KDA) with a Gaussian kernel function and an optimal bandwidth of 0.8. The research data involved 268 respondents divided into training and testing data. The analysis results show that the KDA model has an accuracy rate of 60% on the training data and 52% on the testing data, which indicates the model's ability to recognize student preference patterns despite a decrease in accuracy on new data. Based on the kernel density estimation results, Acer is the most widely used laptop brand, while Zyrex and Apple are rarely chosen. The most influential factor in purchasing decisions is processor specifications, with a contribution of 35.739%, followed by brand, warranty, and price. These findings indicate that hardware characteristics are the main consideration in laptop selection, with most students choosing laptops with Intel Core i5 processors, a minimum of 8GB of RAM, and SSD storage. The results of this study can also be used by universities to provide recommendations for selecting laptops that suit students' academic needs.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2019 that 40 million people worldwide require palliative care, including those with cardiovascular disease (38%), cancer (34%), chronic lung disease (10.3%), AIDS (5.7%), and diabetes (4.6%). Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients and families facing life-threatening illnesses by managing pain and physical, psychological, social, and spiritual problems. The main goal of this care is to reduce suffering and help patients cope with the limitations imposed by illness. The principles are to respect life, consider death a normal process, neither hasten nor delay death, and provide support until the end of life. This study aims to determine whether knowledge can influence the level of self-efficacy of nursing students at Awal Bros University. Using a correlational quantitative method, data were collected through the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing and Self-efficacy Palliative Care Scale questionnaires. The results of the study show a significant relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy among students with p<0.005. These findings can be used as a basis for learning to improve the understanding of nursing students, especially in the context of palliative care, which is important for the quality of health services in the future.

In human life, sports play a very important role as they can influence both physical and psychological conditions. Through regular physical activity, individuals not only achieve physical fitness but also maintain mental and emotional balance. One type of exercise that is interesting to study is slow running, which involves running at a steady but gentle pace. This study focuses on examining the effectiveness of group slow running on levels of happiness. The subjects of this research were students from the Psychology Department at Universitas Negeri Padang, class of 2021, aged between 18 and 21 years old. The study employed a quantitative method with an experimental approach using a pretest-posttest control group design. Two groups were involved in this research—an experimental group and a control group—each receiving different treatments. Measurements were conducted before and after the intervention to observe changes in happiness levels. The results of the independent sample t-test analysis showed a significance value of 0.003, which is smaller than α = 0.05. This indicates a significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that group slow running is effective in increasing happiness among adolescents, particularly university students, as it fosters feelings of relaxation, enthusiasm, and togetherness.

This study aims to analyze the role conflict experienced by PGSD (Elementary School Teacher Education) students at the University of Riau between academic and organizational activities, as well as to examine its impact on students’ self-development. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 30 active students engaged in both academic and student organization activities. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire based on three dimensions of role conflict proposed by Greenhaus and Beutell (1985): time-based, strain-based, and behavior-based conflicts. The results show that the level of role conflict among PGSD students is categorized as moderate, with an average score of 64.61. This indicates that most students are able to balance academic and organizational roles, although they face challenges in time management and role pressure. Furthermore, role conflict contributes positively to self-development, as students enhance their time management, responsibility, leadership, and communication skills. Therefore, role conflict can serve as a learning medium if managed adaptively. This study recommends that universities provide training in time management and organizational guidance to help students achieve a balanced integration between academic and extracurricular commitments.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent a prevalent health issue among clinical medical students, with global studies reporting incidence rates of 73% in India and 81.9% in Saudi Arabia. Pain is most frequently reported in the neck, lower back, and shoulder areas. However, similar data from Indonesia, particularly Papua, remains limited. This study aims to identify the prevalence and risk factors of MSDs among clinical medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Cenderawasih University. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 78 clinical students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection utilized the Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) to measure prevalence and the Nordic Body Map to localize pain. Data analysis used Chi-Square test to evaluate the relationship between risk factors (such as Body Mass Index/BMI and physical activity) and musculoskeletal complaints. Results showed the majority of respondents were female (74.4%) and aged ≥25 years (51.3%). Most respondents experienced pain at the "moderate pain" level (57.7%), with the most frequently reported pain areas being the back, waist, calves, knees, shoulders, and wrists. There was a statistically significant relationship between BMI and pain complaints (p=0.035), but no significant relationship was found between physical exercise and musculoskeletal complaints (p=0.129). This study concludes that BMI is a risk factor for MSDs in the studied population. Evidence-based recommendations are needed to reduce MSD risk and improve students' quality of life during clinical education.
