This work was created based on the author's interest in ants, starting from their lifestyle, how they find food, size, and most importantly their shape. The author likes the shape of an ant's body which, when observed closely, turns out to have its own uniqueness in each type that is often forgotten due to its small size. The author is interested in raising the object of ants as a work of creation because the author wants to reveal the shape of ants that other people rarely realize. The work that the author created was made using the cross contour and pointillist techniques. The author uses a combination of these two techniques because these two techniques are very flexible for the author to use in drawing the shape of an ant's body, without the effects of color, only pure black and white shapes. The author created 15 works of art that display realistic shapes of 15 types of exotic ants in the world.

The development of modern Muslim fashion has significantly transformed the way Muslims express their identity, especially in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population. However, the growing popularity of “modest wear” fashion does not always align with Islamic principles as taught in the Hadiths. This study aims to explore the Islamic dress code based on thematic Hadith analysis (maudhū’ī), identify core dressing principles in Islam, and evaluate their implementation within the modern Muslim fashion culture. This research applies a qualitative method through library research, employing the thematic approach to collect and analyze Prophetic traditions related to clothing. The findings reveal that Islamic principles of dress include covering the ‘awrah (private parts), avoiding excessive adornment (tabarruj), refraining from imitating the opposite gender or non-Muslim cultures, and upholding modesty and dignity. These hadiths offer ethical guidance that is not only normative but also practical in the modern socio-cultural context. The study concludes that modern Muslim fashion can serve as an effective medium for visual da'wah if it remains aligned with Hadith-based values. The synergy between religious principles and creative design can form a relevant and dignified Islamic lifestyle rooted in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad saw.

This paper examines the influence of financial education on personal financial management practices of Generation Z. A quantitative method with a survey approach was used, involving 30 Generation Z respondents (aged 17-25 years) through questionnaires and simple linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate a significant influence of financial education on wise financial management practices. Generation Z with adequate financial education tends to be more able to budget, save, invest, and avoid impulsive debt. Conversely, the lack of financial education makes them vulnerable to unwise financial decisions. This paper highlights the importance of integrating financial education into the curriculum and self-development programs to improve literacy and healthy financial practices among Generation Z. This study also discusses the challenges faced by Generation Z in managing finances in the digital era, such as a consumptive lifestyle influenced by social media and e-commerce.

The development of e-commerce and digital technology has changed the consumption patterns of students, especially through live streaming features and twin date events on Shopee. This study aims to analyze the role of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in mediating the influence of live streaming and twin-date events on the consumption behavior of students at Yogyakarta State University. A quantitative approach was used with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). The research sample consisted of 315 student respondents who had used the live streaming feature and participated in Shopee's twin-date events. The results showed that twin-date events had a positive and significant effect on FOMO and consumer behavior, while live streaming only had a significant effect on consumer behavior but not on FOMO. FOMO itself significantly influences consumer behavior and mediates the influence of the twin date event on consumer behavior. However, FOMO does not mediate the influence of live streaming on consumer behavior. This finding indicates that the urgency of time and exclusive promotions during the twin date event are more effective in triggering FOMO than live streaming. This study recommends the importance of digital consumption literacy for students and the development of emotion-based marketing strategies by e-commerce platforms. This study has limitations in terms of sample scope and variables used, so further research is recommended to include additional variables such as lifestyle or financial literacy, and to expand the sample to other universities.

Design in the perspective of Hadith encompasses not only visual and physical aspects but also incorporates moral, social, and spiritual values taught in Islam. In everyday life, Islam encourages its followers to create an orderly, clean, and beneficial environment and lifestyle in accordance with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This study employs a thematic Hadith approach by collecting and analyzing Hadiths related to the theme of design, such as cleanliness, simplicity, beauty, social balance, and sincere intention. The Hadith sources used include authentic collections such as Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and Sunan Abu Dawood. The findings reveal that design, according to Hadith, is a comprehensive effort to shape a life aligned with Islamic values, emphasizing ethics, usefulness, and balance between worldly life and the hereafter. Thus, the concept of design in Hadith is not merely a matter of aesthetics but also a form of worship that reflects noble character and brings individuals closer to Allah SWT.

Colorectal cancer (Ca Colon) is a malignancy originating from abnormal neoplastic masses in the epithelial tissue of the colon and rectum. It primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the proximal colon and the distal rectum. The incidence of colorectal cancer has significantly increased since the 1900s due to economic and industrial advancements, making it the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women in the United States. In Indonesia, colorectal cancer ranks second and third among cancer cases in men and women, respectively. This malignancy often manifests in the rectosigmoid region of the colon. Epidemiological data highlight geographical variations in colorectal cancer incidence, with higher rates observed in developed countries compared to developing nations. The etiology of colorectal cancer involves genetic and environmental factors, including dietary habits, lifestyle, and age. The pathophysiology involves genetic mutations leading to uncontrolled cell growth. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, histological examination, and imaging techniques. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the stage and location of the tumor. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improving prognosis and reducing mortality rates associated with colorectal cancer.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), once primarily affecting adults, is now increasingly prevalent among adolescents due to lifestyle changes. Adolescents represent a critical age group for the development of healthy behaviors, making it essential to identify factors influencing T2DM preventive behavior. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, conducted in Ciledug District, Tangerang City, from April to June 2025. A total of 224 adolescents aged 15–24 years were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 49.1% of adolescents exhibited poor preventive behavior against T2DM. Gender and perceived barriers were significantly associated with preventive behavior (p < 0.05), whereas other factors such as age, family history, and other Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs were not significantly related. In conclusion, adolescents’ preventive behavior toward T2DM remains relatively low and is influenced by perceived barriers. Therefore, interventions should focus on reducing perceived barriers while enhancing environmental support and self-motivation. Active involvement from schools, governments, families, and communities is crucial to foster positive behavioral change.

Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems experienced by people in various age groups and work backgrounds. This complaint can be acute, subacute, or chronic, with various causes ranging from mechanical, degenerative, to psychosocial factors. This study aims to examine the characteristics of LBP through a literature review of several previous studies that focus on prevalence, risk factors, and their impact on patients' daily lives. The method used is a narrative literature review, with data sources coming from national and international journals, research reports, and academic repositories. The results of the study show that the prevalence of LBP is very high, with a significant percentage of occurrence in the elderly, pregnant women, administrative workers, and individuals with a sedentary lifestyle and non-ergonomic work posture. In addition to age, female gender, non-ideal body mass index, and long work duration, it was also found that psychosocial characteristics such as low social support and high work pressure play a role in triggering or worsening LBP. A study at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar showed that most LBP patients were elderly women with acute pain and radiological results showed lumbar spondylosis as the most common diagnosis. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of prevention through ergonomic education, work stress management, and early intervention based on a healthy lifestyle. These findings are expected to be the basis for designing promotive and preventive strategies for high-risk groups.

Social media has become a new cultural space for teenagers to express themselves, interact socially, and form a self-image online. Trend culture on social media has become an important phenomenon in the dynamics of digital communication, especially among teenagers and the younger generation. Trend culture is a fluid cultural space where values, norms and identities are constantly negotiated through virtual interactions. Rapidly evolving trends through platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube not only reflect lifestyle changes, but also become a means of self-expression, identity formation, and the search for social validation. This research aims to analyze how adolescent identity is represented through trend culture on social media in interaction patterns, meaning construction, and user self-representation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of digital observation of active teenage users of the Instagram and TikTok platforms. The theory used is Stuart Hall's representation theory. The representation is not singular, but rather fluid and performative, depending on social dynamics, recognition needs, and symbolic interactions in digital space. The results show that cultural trends, such as viral challenges, clothing styles, the use of visual filters, and the use of certain captions, become an important medium in the construction and representation of teenage identity.

This study aims to analyze the influence of social media and social environment on the hedonistic lifestyle among contemporary adolescents. A hedonistic lifestyle, which prioritizes the pursuit of personal pleasure and material satisfaction, has become increasingly prevalent among adolescents with the rapid development of technology, especially social media. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and case studies involving adolescents who are active social media users in several major cities in Indonesia. The results indicate that social media plays a significant role in shaping ideal life standards that emphasize luxury, social status, and instant gratification, which influences adolescents to pursue similar lifestyles. Additionally, the social environment, particularly family and peer groups, further strengthens adolescents' desire to gain recognition and social status through a consumerist lifestyle. The study also finds that although a hedonistic lifestyle provides momentary satisfaction, its long-term effects can be detrimental both psychologically and financially, and can worsen self-image and emotional well-being among adolescents. Therefore, it is important to provide more comprehensive education to adolescents on the wise use of social media and support the development of healthier life values within family and school environments.
