This study aims to examine the influence of price and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) on purchase decisions among Generation Z consumers in Campaka Subdistrict, Bandung City, with a specific focus on the TikTok Shop platform. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to Generation Z consumers in Campaka Subdistrict, Bandung City, with a total of 98 respondents to collect the data. The results of the study indicate that both price and electronic word of mouth have a significant positive effect on purchase decisions among Generation Z consumers in Campaka Subdistrict, Bandung City. Price is generally perceived as good, although aspects related to price suitability based on income levels and purchasing power still show some weaknesses. Similarly, e-WOM activity is considered positive; however, there are still relatively weak aspects regarding the diversity of consumer reviews, as not all respondents actively pay attention to the variation of opinions in reviews. The findings also reveal a significant influence of these variables, where the effect of price on purchase decisions reaches 35.4%, while electronic word of mouth contributes 29.5%, and the combined effect of price and electronic word of mouth on purchase decisions is 64.9%. This study concludes that improvements in price perception and e-WOM can enhance purchase decisions.

High feed costs remain a major constraint in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture, requiring alternative feed formulations based on local ingredients with adequate nutritional quality. This study aimed to evaluate the proximate composition of fish feed formulated from snail meal, Azolla meal, and turmeric as a phytobiotic supplement. The study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design consisting of three treatments and three replications. The feed formulations were P1, consisting of 55% snail meal, 25% Azolla meal, 5% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour; P2, consisting of 39% snail meal, 39% Azolla meal, 7% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour; and P3, consisting of 25% snail meal, 51% Azolla meal, 9% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour. The analyzed parameters included protein, moisture, fat, ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrate contents. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by the Least Significant Difference test. The results showed that feed formulation significantly affected all proximate parameters. P3 produced the highest protein content of 43.87%, fat content of 3.68%, crude fiber of 3.11%, and carbohydrate content of 7.28%, while also producing the lowest ash content of 28.46%. Moisture content ranged from 1.11% to 1.30%, indicating good feed storage stability. These findings demonstrate that the integration of snail meal, Azolla, and turmeric can improve the nutritional quality of alternative Nile tilapia feed and support locally based sustainable aquaculture feed development.

The elderly are advised to implement a healthy and balanced dietary intake.

Madrasas as formal Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia have undergone a long evolution from traditional systems to modern institutions that are integrated into the national education system. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic education management in the development of madrasah history using a literature research method with an analytical descriptive approach. The results of the study show that the development of madrassas takes place through several historical phases that are mutually sustainable. In the early 20th century, madrassas emerged in response to the limitations of the traditional pesantren system. In the pre-independence period, the discriminatory policies of the Dutch colonial encouraged the birth of modern madrassas that combined religious and general sciences. Post-independence, the establishment of the Ministry of Religion in 1946 strengthened the position of madrassas in the national education system. During the Old Order period, the number of madrassas increased rapidly even though the management was still community-based. Entering the New Order, the Decree of 3 Ministers of 1975 and Law Number 2 of 1989 encouraged the formal integration of madrasas, although they tended to be centralistic. The Reform Era through Law Number 20 of 2003 provided equal recognition to public schools and encouraged decentralization based on School-Based Management. Although the quantitative and legal development of madrasas is significant, the challenges of quality, funding, and relevance in the era of globalization remain a concern so that madrasas are able to produce graduates who excel intellectually and are solid in Islamic values.

This article reviews the history and transformation of madrasah management in Indonesia. Emerging in the early twentieth century, madrasahs developed as educational institutions that combined the traditional values of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) with the organizational structure of modern schools. This study employs a literature review method to examine the evolution of madrasah governance from the colonial era to the reform era. The findings reveal three major stages in the development of madrasah management. The first stage was the early period, during which madrasahs were independently managed by religious leaders and Islamic organizations with limited government involvement. The second stage was the post-independence integration period, characterized by increasing government intervention in curriculum development, institutional regulation, and legal recognition. The third stage was the modernization era, marked by the issuance of the Joint Decree of the Three Ministers in 1975 and the enactment of the National Education System Law of 2003, which strengthened the position of madrasahs within the national education system and placed them on an equal footing with public schools. These developments encouraged madrasahs to adopt Madrasah-Based Management (MBM) as a strategy to improve educational quality, effectiveness, and competitiveness. Overall, the transformation of madrasah management reflects an adaptive process that enables madrasahs to respond to educational reforms and societal changes while maintaining their distinctive Islamic identity and educational mission.  

The availability of a reliable backup power source is essential for supporting the operational continuity of the Indonesian National Army Fuel Filling Station (SPBT) at the Naval Academy (AAL). Interruptions in the main electrical supply can disrupt fuel distribution activities and reduce operational readiness. This study aims to determine the most appropriate emergency generator as a backup power source for SPBT AAL using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Data were collected through observations, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires administered to experts with competencies in electrical systems and operational management. The evaluation was based on three criteria: purchase cost, spare parts availability, and ease of maintenance. Five generator alternatives were assessed, namely Cummins C10D6, Yanmar YTG10S, Traknus PL15P-SS, Honda EM10000, and Yamaha EF12000E. The results indicate that ease of maintenance is the most influential criterion with a priority weight of 0.627, followed by spare parts availability at 0.280 and purchase cost at 0.094. The global priority ranking shows that Yanmar YTG10S achieved the highest score of 0.438, making it the most suitable emergency generator for SPBT AAL. Furthermore, the consistency ratio (CR) values were below 0.10, indicating that the respondents’ judgments were consistent and that the results are valid for decision-making purposes.

The increasing demand for electrical energy in military education facilities necessitates an efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy solution. This research aims to design a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) system to meet the street lighting needs in the Wangi-Wangi Complex of the Indonesian Naval Academy (AAL). The research method used is quantitative descriptive with an engineering design approach thru the stages of site survey, collection of solar energy potential data in the Surabaya area, calculation of electricity energy needs, calculation of solar panel capacity, calculation of battery capacity, and design of battery connection configuration. The research results show that the energy requirement for street lighting is 1,920 Wh/day, sourced from 8 units of 20 Watt LED lamps with an operating time of 12 hours per day. Based on the average solar radiation potential in Surabaya of 5 kWh/m²/day, the designed system requires 3 units of 200 Wp monocrystalline solar panels with a total area of approximately 4.89 m². For energy storage, 4 units of Yuasa N200 12 V 200 Ah batteries are used, configured in a series-parallel arrangement, capable of providing an effective energy of around 3,600 Wh with an estimated operating time of 22.5 hours. The research results indicate that the proposed solar power plant design is feasible to implement as an environmentally friendly, efficient alternative energy source that supports the green defense concept in the AAL environment.

This research aims to analyze the influence of education, ship machinery practice training, and learning motivation on the technical competence of Naval Academy (AAL) Corps of Engineers cadets. The research uses a quantitative approach with a causal survey design. The research sample consisted of 124 cadets selected using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out thru questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Data analysis used multiple linear regression. The research results show that education, ship engine practice training, and learning motivation, both partially and simultaneously, have a positive and significant impact on the technical competence of cadets. Ship machinery practice training is the variable that has the most dominant influence on technical competence. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.591 indicates that 59.1% of the variation in technical competence can be explained by these three variables, while the remaining portion is influenced by other factors outside the scope of the study. The research results emphasize the importance of optimizing education, improving the quality of practical training, and strengthening learning motivation to enhance the technical competence of AAL Cadets in the Technical Corps.

Female inmates are vulnerable to various psychological challenges that may affect their psychological well-being, particularly their autonomy. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy in improving the autonomy of female inmates at the Class IIA Women’s Correctional Institution in Tangerang. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–double posttest design was employed. The participants consisted of nine female inmates selected based on low to moderate levels of mindfulness and psychological well-being. Data were collected using the autonomy dimension of the Psychological well-being Scale and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). The results showed a significant increase in autonomy scores from pretest to posttest t(8) = -5.933, p < .001). The average N-Gain score was 0.50, indicating a moderate level of effectiveness. These findings suggest that mindfulness therapy was effective in enhancing the autonomy of female inmates. The results were further supported by participants’ worksheets, which indicated improvements in their ability to consider the consequences of their actions, regulate their emotions, and make decisions more independently.

Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, requiring systematic early detection and community-based interventions. This community service activity aimed to implement early stunting detection through parental health education and anthropometric measurements of children under five at Posyandu Pasir Putih, Kelurahan Baurung, Kecamatan Banggae Timur, Kabupaten Majene, West Sulawesi. A participatory approach was used, combining interactive health education sessions with standardized anthropometric screening (weight, height/length, mid-upper arm circumference, and head circumference) for 35 toddlers aged 0–59 months. Parental knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered to 38 parents. Results showed a significant increase in parental knowledge, from a mean pre-test score of 52.4 (poor category) to 81.6 (good category) on post-test. Anthropometric assessment revealed that 13 out of 35 toddlers (37.1%) were identified as stunted (25.7% stunted; 11.4% severely stunted). All identified cases were referred to the local health center (Puskesmas) for specific nutritional interventions including supplementary feeding and intensive nutrition counseling. These findings indicate that integrated anthropometric screening combined with targeted parental education is an effective strategy for early stunting identification at the community level. Posyandu plays a crucial role as a platform for translating anthropometric data into meaningful risk communication and promoting sustained community engagement in child growth monitoring

The transition toward Society 5.0 has transformed the educational landscape by requiring teachers to integrate digital technology into learning while maintaining a human-centered approach. However, preliminary observations at SMK Paramitha Bukittinggi revealed that many teachers still experienced difficulties in using digital technologies effectively, indicating challenges related to leadership support, digital competence, and self-efficacy. This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership, digital competence, and self-efficacy on teacher performance in the Society 5.0 era. The research employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The population consisted of all 35 teachers at SMK Paramitha Bukittinggi, and total sampling was applied so that the entire population served as research respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method through SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that transformational leadership had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (t = 2.407; p = 0.016), digital competence also had a positive and significant effect (t = 2.277; p = 0.027), and self-efficacy showed the strongest positive and significant effect (t = 15.658; p = 0.000). Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly influenced teacher performance (F = 378.268; p = 0.000), with an adjusted R² value of 0.859, indicating that 85.9% of the variation in teacher performance could be explained by the model. The study concludes that transformational leadership, digital competence, and self-efficacy are critical determinants of teacher performance in the Society 5.0 era. Strengthening these factors can significantly enhance teachers' ability to adapt to technological advances and improve the quality of learning processes.

The concept of naskh and mansukh is one of the most crucial methodological instruments in the discipline of Ushul Fiqh, serving to dissect the dynamics of Islamic law determination (tasyri') diachronically. This article aims to comprehensively analyze how the mechanism of naskh operates within the Al-Qur'an and Hadith and its juridical implications on the process of istinbath (deduction) of Islamic law. The urgency of this study lies in the fact that a flawed understanding of the abrogated verses can lead a mujtahid to establish laws that are juridically expired. Utilizing a qualitative-normative research method with a socio-historical approach, this article explores the classifications of naskh, ranging from the sharp debate over the Sunnah's authority to abrogate the Al-Qur'an to the fundamental differences between naskh, takhshish, and taqyid. The analysis also encompasses a comparative study of the views among the four major schools of thought (Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'i, and Hanbali) in responding to conflicting evidences. The findings indicate that naskh is not an indication of inconsistency within Divine revelation, but rather a manifestation of the principles of tadarruj (gradualism) and taysir (facilitation) that accommodate the mental readiness of the community and the welfare of human beings. Practical implications of this concept are found in the evolution of laws concerning the direction of the qiblah, the iddah period, and the prohibition of khamr. Through a profound understanding of naskh, Islamic law demonstrates its elasticity in addressing contemporary challenges without losing its divine substance. In the modern era, this principle can be actualized in national legislative drafting through gradual regulatory methods.

This study aims to (1) describe the development of Dakpin media for learning the concepts of Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM) for fourth-grade students at MI Tarbiyatul Banin, and (2) determine the validity of the developed media. The research employed the ADDIE development model, consisting of Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate stages. The study was conducted at MI Tarbiyatul Banin during the first semester, involving 11 fourth-grade students as research subjects. Data were collected through material and media expert validation questionnaires, student response questionnaires, tests, observations, and interviews. The results indicate that the Dakpin media was successfully developed through all stages of the ADDIE model and was considered highly valid for use in mathematics learning. Validation results showed an average score of 93.75% from material experts and 94.79% from media experts, both categorized as “very valid.” In addition, student responses toward the use of Dakpin media reached 91%, indicating a highly positive reception. These findings suggest that Dakpin media is appropriate and effective as a learning tool to support students’ understanding of GCF and LCM concepts in elementary mathematics learning.

The escalation of negative sentiment in the digital space towards Rohingya refugees in Indonesia throughout 2023-2026 has reflected a shift in public perspectives, from humanitarian principles to restictive rejection. This study aims to analyze how digital discourse on TikTok dan Instagram platforms frames the Rohingyan refugee issue as a national security threat through the lens of Barry Buzan`s Securitization Theory and Ruth Wodak`s Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK). This study uses qualitative methods with note-taking techniques and filtering hastag-based viral data related to refugee rejection. The results show that the securitization process was successfully driven by three main typologies of netizen narratives: domestic socio-economic jealousy, delegetimization of Internasional authorities (UNHCR) by referring to popular legal discourse on the 1945 Constitution, and demands for an active role for the military (TNI AL) and Polair at maritime borders. The accumulation of speech acts that have gone viral on social media is evidence of the creation of strong horizontal pressure, thus urging the Indonesian goverment to review its policies towards a more restrictive direction (viral-based policy) to prioritize national soverignity and security over global humanitarian commitments.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational marketing management in increasing the interest of new students at MTs Negeri 3 Bekasi City, with a focus on the application of the POAC management functions (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling). The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study design. Primary data were obtained through observation and in-depth interviews with the Madrasah Principal and the Vice Principal for Student Affairs, who serves as the Chair of the PMBM Committee, while secondary data were sourced from relevant journals and literature. The research results indicate that marketing planning was carried out systematically through the formation of the PMBM committee, academic, religious, and Quranic literacy selection processes, as well as the utilization of digital and print media. Organization involved all school components in a structured manner, while promotional activities highlighted students’ academic, non-academic, and moral achievements through social media and word of mouth. This strategy proved effective, as evidenced by the number of applicants far exceeding the admission quota. However, implementation still faces challenges related to funding, limited land availability, and public perceptions regarding the difficulty of the selection process, which are addressed through routine evaluations and collaboration with government agencies.

Abstract. This study aims to describe students’ motivation toward online learning at Universitas Negeri Medan and to identify the underlying reasons for such motivation. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design, utilizing the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) motivational model and Expectancy-Value Theory as the theoretical frameworks. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 34 English Education students and semi-structured interviews with 5 purposively selected participants. The results indicated that all four components of the ARCS model were in the moderate category, with mean scores of 3.16 for Attention, 3.29 for Relevance, 3.20 for Confidence and 3.20 for Satisfaction. While students appreciated the flexibility and accessibility of online materials (high utility value), they frequently experienced boredom and mental fatigue due to limited social interaction and the "artificial" nature of screen based learning (high cost and low intrinsic value). The study concludes that students remain motivated primarily due to professional aspirations rather than engaging instructional designs. These findings suggest that educators should implement more interactive strategies to enhance student engagement in digital environments.

Cooperatives in indonesia constitute the foundational pillar of the national economy and hold a constitutionally strategic position. However, their existence is currently under pressure from the hegemony of modern markets, which are dominated by large capital interests and the penetration of digital technology. This study aims to provide a comprehensive mapping of the internal strengths and fundamental weaknesses of cooperatives within the Indonesian market system through a systematic literature review. The analysis examines 24 selected scholarly journal articles published between 2019 and 2026 to ensure the data remains relevant to current economic dynamics. The synthesis indicates that the primary strengths of cooperatives lie in their social capital, the principle of kinship (asas kekeluargaan) which fosters member loyalty, and their potential for digital adaptation as a tool to mitigate economic recessions and the dominance of multinational corporations. Conversely, the findings confirm chronic, unresolved weaknesses, including low managerial professionalism, limited access to capital, and small economies of scale that hinder price efficiency in competitive markets. External challenges, such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution and shifting consumer behaviors, demand that cooperatives undergo immediate structural transformation. This article concludes that the key to cooperative sustainability in the face of modern market hegemony lies in the implementation of agile strategic management, service digitalization, and the strengthening of strategic partnerships. Policy recommendations are directed toward reinforcing regulations that protect the cooperative ecosystem without compromising its inherent competitiveness within the market mechanism.

The increased intake of packaged sugar-sweetened beverages among adolescents may affect health status, particularly blood glucose levels, as their high added sugar content can disrupt glucose metabolism when consumed excessively. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the consumption of packaged sugar-sweetened beverages and blood glucose levels among high school students in Tuban District. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 2,092 students from four schools. The sample was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data on beverage consumption were collected using a Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), while blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with SPSS version 24. The results indicated a significant relationship between the consumption of packaged sugar-sweetened beverages and blood glucose levels among high school students in Tuban District (p = 0.000). These findings suggest that higher consumption levels are associated with higher blood glucose levels in adolescents.

This study examines the legal protection of children's rights to inclusive education and its implications for the institutional governance of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia. A normative juridical method with a descriptive-qualitative library-based approach is used to evaluate the coherence between macro-level child protection regulations and operational standards for school management. The data are entirely secondary, sourced from statutory laws, ministerial regulations, and pertinent scientific literature. The findings reveal a fundamental tension: the constitutional rights of children with special needs to access non-discriminatory ECE are robustly guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 35/2014 on Child Protection, and Law No. 8/2016 on Persons with Disabilities, yet a wide gap persists at the implementation level. This discrepancy arises because derivative ECE governance instruments including accreditation frameworks and curriculum standards still frame inclusion readiness as a voluntary component rather than a binding obligation. Consequently, ECE institutions encounter systemic barriers in human resource management, physical accessibility, and curricular flexibility. The study underscores the urgency of transitioning ECE management toward a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) and recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education reform accreditation instruments by embedding inclusive indicators as mandatory prerequisites for institutional feasibility, thereby aligning administrative governance with the fulfillment of children's constitutional rights.
