Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face unique challenges in building attachment relationships, due to ASD children experiencing impairments in communication, social interaction, and emotional regulation. This study aims to identify effective intervention strategies to improve the quality of attachment between parents and children with ASD through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review findings indicate that several interventions have proven effective in enhancing attachment between parents or primary caregivers and children with ASD, including the following interventions: DIR/Floortime, Focused Playtime Intervention (FPI), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Circle of Security (COS), Positive Behavior Support (PBS), play training, massage therapy, and psychoeducation. The results of these interventions show that changes occur before and after the intervention, including strengthening two-way communication, increasing parental sensitivity, and improving the child's emotional responses. These findings have practical implications for parents, educators, and therapists in designing attachment-based approaches to support the social and emotional development of children with ASD. Responsive and supportive designing attachment-based approaches to support the social and emotional development of children with ASD. Responsive and supportive relationship-based interventions can build secure attachments between children with ASD and their parents and serve as an important reference in attachment-based parenting and therapy practices.

Background: Work-life balance is an essential issue for all employees, especially nurses and healthcare organizations. Nurses face high role demands, particularly female nurses, who must juggle multiple responsibilities simultaneously, often leading to an imbalance in their personal lives. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between social support and work-life balance among female nurses in hospitals. Results: This correlational study used a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 92 female nurses selected through cluster random sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman’s Rho test. The study results indicated that the majority (70.7%) of female nurses experience low social support, and most (68.5%) also had poor work-life balance. Based on the ordinal scale analysis using the Spearman’s Rho test, the study found a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) and a correlation coefficient (r?) of -0.610, leading to the acceptance of H1. This confirms a significant relationship between social support and work-life balance among female nurses in hospitals. Conclusion: It can be concluded that social attention and support are crucial for female nurses in carrying out their duties. With this support, female nurses can perform better and more effectively, and balance their work and personal lives.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment on employee productivity at PT Harmoni Reka Cipta. The research employs a descriptive c method using Spradley’s approach, which includes place, actor, and situation. Informants were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in one key informant and four main informants relevant to the data requirements. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations. The research findings, based on NVIVO analysis visualized through a word cloud, indicate that the most dominant aspect in discussions of the work environment is workplace facilities, followed by work relations, work atmosphere, and operational constraints. Interviews revealed that lighting and coworker relationships are generally in good condition; however, challenges remain, including limited workspace, insufficient facilities, and suboptimal air circulation, especially in the production area. These conditions affect employee comfort, focus, and work effectiveness. NVIVO results related to productivity show that quantity, quality, and timeliness are influenced by a work environment that is not yet fully supportive. Some delays occur due to high production intensity, heavy workloads, and inadequate facilities. This study concludes that improving facilities, reorganizing workspace layouts, and enhancing physical comfort are necessary to support optimal employee productivity

The creation narrative in Genesis 1–2 serves as an essential theological foundation for understanding the origin of the world and the nature of humanity. This text not only describes God’s creative acts but also affirms the unique dignity of human beings. This study aims to examine the meaning of the creation narrative in Genesis 1–2 and its relevance to the concept of human dignity in the modern era. The method employed is a literature study using exegetical and theological approaches, through analysis of biblical texts and relevant scholarly sources. The findings indicate that Genesis 1 emphasizes order, the goodness of creation, and the creation of humans in the image and likeness of God (imago Dei), while Genesis 2 highlights the relational and existential dimensions of humanity, including relationships with God, others, and nature. The concept of imago Dei affirms that humans possess intrinsic value, freedom, reason, and moral responsibility. In a contemporary context, this narrative remains relevant as an ethical foundation to reject violations of human dignity such as discrimination, violence, and exploitation, while also encouraging ecological awareness and responsibility toward the environment. Therefore, the creation narrative holds not only theological significance but also contributes meaningfully to the development of humane, dignified, and sustainable values.

The rapid development of modern science and technology has brought major transformations to various aspects of human life, including education, communication, economics, health, and social interaction. Nevertheless, this progress often creates a gap between scientific advancement and spiritual or moral values, particularly when viewed from an Islamic perspective. This study aims to analyze the relationship between modern science and Islamic teachings, while also exploring relevant forms of integration between the two in responding to contemporary life challenges. The research employs a qualitative approach through a comprehensive literature review of books, scientific journals, and other academic sources related to science and Islam. The findings indicate that Islam is fundamentally not opposed to science; instead, Islamic teachings encourage critical thinking, intellectual development, and the pursuit of knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Furthermore, the integration of scientific knowledge and Islamic values is considered essential in maintaining balance between technological progress, ethical responsibility, and human morality. Therefore, continuous and contextual efforts are needed to harmonize science and religion so that both can contribute optimally to the development of a more humane, ethical, and spiritually grounded civilization.

 The phenomenon of identity crisis in the era of social media has become an increasing evident existential problem in contemporary human life. Individuals tend to construct their identities based on external recognition, such as social validation, popularity, and digital representations that are often unstable. This article aims to examine this identity crisis trough a medieval perspective, particularly the thought of Agustine of Hippo. Using a qualitative method, this study explores the concept of inquietum cor (the restless heart) and the idea of human beings as creatures who find their fulfillment only in relation to God. The findings show that the identity crisis in the social media era can be understood as a form of human alienation from the true source of meaning. When identity is built upon temporal and external elements, individuals experience restslessness, dissatisfaction, and a loss of life direction. Agustine’s thought offers a reflective framework in which true identity is transcendent and rooted in a relationship with God as the highest good (summum bonum). Thus, Agustine’s philosophy remains relevant as a critique of the shallow construction of modern identity, as well as a proposed solution for building a more authentic and meaningful identity amid the currents of digitalization.

Discussions regarding the origins of the universe have been a focus in philosophy and science, particularly regarding the relationship between the concept of God and modern cosmology. The concept of God as the prima causa is considered the core of classical cosmology, while modern cosmology posits that the universe has a beginning of time. This study aims to observe and analyze the comparison of the concept of God as the first cause by Thomas Aquinas and the Big Bang theory of modern cosmology. The method used is a literature study by examining various philosophical and scientific sources. The results of this study will emphasize the fundamental differences between Thomas Aquinas's approach to God as the first cause metaphysically and the approach of the theory of the origin of the universe (Big Bang theory) which focuses on the physical processes of the universe. Although there are different approaches, there are points of dialogue that open up space for integration between philosophy and modern cosmology. Abstrak. Diskusi berkaitan asal-usul alam semesta sudah menjadi sorotan dalam filsafat dan sains, khususnya mengenai hubungan antara konsep ketuhanan dan kosmologis modern. Konsep ketuhanan sebagai causa prima dinilai sebagai inti kosmolgis klasik sedangkan kosmologis modern mengangkat bahwa alam semesta ada permulaan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat dan menganalisis perbandingan konsep Tuhan sebagai penyebab pertama oleh Thomas Aquinas dan teori Big Bang dari kosmologis modern. Metode yang digunakan ialah studi kepustakaan dengan mengkaji berbagai sumber filsafat dan sains. Hasil penelitian ini akan menekankan perbedaan fundamental berkaitan pendekatan Thomas Aquinas mengenai Tuhan sebagai penyebab pertama secara metafisik dengan pendekatan teori asal-usul alam semesta (teori Big Bang) yang berfokus pada proses fisik alam semesta. Walaupun ada pendekatan yang berbeda namun ada titik dialog yang membuka ruang integrasi antara filsafat dan kosmologi modern.  

This research investigates the concepts of heaven and hell within Nias culture and compares them with Catholic Church teachings, exploring their implications for Catholic Religious Education (PAK). Driven by the disparity in eschatological understanding between local culture and Catholic doctrine, and the crucial role of inculturation in faith life, a qualitative approach employing literature review was adopted. Data sources included Church documents, books, and relevant scholarly journals. Findings reveal that Nias culture perceives post-mortem existence not as a dualistic heaven or hell, but as a continuation in the spirit world, influenced by social status and adherence to tradition. In contrast, Catholic teachings define heaven and hell as outcomes of humanity's relationship with God. The inculturation process highlights a dialogue between cultural values and Christian faith, demonstrating that integrating local cultural values into PAK can enhance students' faith experience, making learning more relevant and transformative within their contexts.

Background: Work stress is one of the most significant issues faced by healthcare professionals, particularly among nurses. Resilience can help individuals mitigate the negative impacts of working in high-pressure environments. A resilient person is able to manage stress and emotions effectively. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between resilience and work stress among nurses at RSUD Dr. Soegiri Lamongan. Methods: The research employed a cross-sectional approach, with a sample of 135 nurses selected using cluster random sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire instrument. Result: The study results indicated that the majority (74.8%) of nurses had a moderate level of resilience, while most (52.6%) experienced mild work stress. Based on Spearman’s Rho test analysis, the study found a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) and a correlation coefficient (r?) of -0.500, leading to the acceptance of H1, which confirmed a relationship between resilience and work stress among nurses at RSUD Dr. Soegiri Lamongan. Conclusion: Nurses who have a high level of resilience have low work stress because the level of resilience that each individual has can reflect their ability to maintain balance when life is unstable. .

Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit caused by multiple factors, characterized by the presence of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. This condition commonly affects adolescents and often leads to psychological impacts, particularly decreased self-confidence. During adolescence, sensitivity to physical appearance tends to increase, making facial changes such as acne influential on social interactions, self-esteem, and even academic performance. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the severity of acne vulgaris and the level of self-confidence among students of SMA Al Irsyad Surabaya in 2025. Methods: The research employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach and involved a population of 90 students, from which 73 were selected as samples using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The severity of acne vulgaris was assessed using an observation sheet based on the Lehmann classification, while self-confidence levels were measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: The findings showed that most students experienced mild acne vulgaris (49.3%) and had a high level of self-confidence (64.4%). There was a significant relationship between acne severity and self-confidence (p = 0.008), indicating that the more severe the acne, the lower the level of self-confidence. Conclusion: This study is expected to serve as a basis for schools and healthcare providers in developing educational programs and psychological support for adolescents

The rapid development of digital media, particularly YouTube, has encouraged personal branding practices among content creators in the gaming sector. This study analyzes how Tobias Justin constructs his personal branding through the Jess No Limit YouTube channel using Montoya's (2002) eight-component personal branding theory, namely specialization, leadership, personality, distinctiveness, visibility, unity, persistence, and goodwill. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, data were collected through online observation of 15 videos published between 2023 and 2025, digital documentation, and digital footprint analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's (1994) interactive model. Findings reveal that Tobias Justin's personal branding is built through consistent specialization in Mobile Legends gameplay, an authentic and humble personal narrative, a relaxed yet persuasive communication style, and sustained positive audience engagement. Audiences actively reinforce his image as a professional, inspiring figure, demonstrating that personal branding is a dialectical process involving creator presentation and collective audience validation. This study concludes that effective digital creator branding is shaped by value consistency, technical competence, and strategic audience relationship management, not mere popularity. Comparative research across gaming creators or platforms is recommended to extend generalizability.

The rapid development of digital media has increased the complexity of health information flows and triggered the spread of misinformation, thereby requiring service personnel to be prepared to manage information critically. However, studies specifically examining the relationship between digital media literacy and readiness to handle health hoaxes among non-medical frontliner staff remain limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between digital media literacy and readiness in handling health-related hoaxes among frontliner staff at RSUD Welas Asih Bandung. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, involving 243 respondents selected through a census sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity, reliability, and Spearman’s Rank correlation tests. The results indicate that digital media literacy is at a high level, with digital safety (85.2%) and digital ethics (82.3%) as dominant indicators. Readiness in handling health hoaxes is also high, with gathering (78.6%) and planning (76.1%) as the highest indicators. The correlation test shows a positive and significant relationship with a coefficient of 0.794 (p<0.001), indicating a strong association. These findings suggest that improving digital media literacy significantly contributes to enhancing readiness in handling health hoaxes. Therefore, strengthening digital literacy is an important strategy to improve communication effectiveness and healthcare service quality.

This study analyzes the effect of capital structure and firm growth on firm value with dividend policy as a mediating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019-2024. The volatility of the property sector influenced by global and domestic economic conditions encourages the importance of understanding firm value formation mechanisms. The research method uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling technique resulting in 66 observations from 11 companies during the research period. Data analysis uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling through SmartPLS application to test relationships between variables. The results show that capital structure and firm growth have no direct significant effect on firm value, but have a significant negative effect on dividend policy. Dividend policy has a significant positive effect on firm value and is able to fully mediate the effect of capital structure and firm growth on firm value with Variance Accounted For values of 151.6% and 90.4% respectively. These findings confirm the importance of dividend policy as a credible signaling mechanism regarding the company's ability to generate sustainable cash flows in creating value for shareholders amid the volatility of Indonesia's property sector.  

A scriptwriter is the individual responsible for organizing and designing the storyline as the foundation for the documentary video production process. In the production of the documentary video “Bisakah Aku Kembali?”, the scriptwriter plays a crucial role in processing facts and research data into a structured narrative, thereby delivering messages informatively while building emotional resonance with the audience. The purpose of this report is to explain the narrative script planning process and describe the application of the three-act structure as the primary approach in building the storyline. The writing method used is descriptive through the stages of research, observation, and interviews, processing field facts into a structured narrative. Synthesis of the work was carried out by applying the three-act structure, consisting of Act I (setup) to introduce the issue and context of rehabilitation, Act II (confrontation) to develop conflict through medical realities and animal behavior during rehabilitation, and Act III (resolution) to present the conclusion and reflection on the relationship between humans and nature. In conclusion, documentary script planning using a narrative approach and a three-act structure is capable of producing a coherent, informative, and reflective storyline in conveying conservation messages regarding the rehabilitation of the Javan Slow Loris as a protected species.

A faith-based marriage strengthening program is essential for building family resilience in urban congregations facing high divorce rates and declining marital quality. This community service activity aimed to revitalize the marital bonds of 22 couples in the Pria Sejati Bandung community and GPPS Agape Bandung congregation through the "Reborn Marriage" program. Using a participatory action research approach, a team of 12 facilitators implemented three main stages: initial coordination to identify needs and plan together with the community; an intensive one-day intervention consisting of teachings on grace, agape love, and divine purpose of marriage, along with testimony sharing, footwashing ritual, and gift giving; and a marriage commitment renewal ceremony. The results showed 100% attendance rate of all registered couples, active participation in every coaching session, and qualitative findings from focus group discussions including renewed spiritual intimacy, mutual forgiveness between spouses, and alignment of marital visions based on divine values. A total of 86% of couples expressed willingness to participate in regular follow-up mentoring, and local leaders emerged among participants who are ready to facilitate small groups after the program. Discussions confirmed that combining biblical teachings on agape love with experiential symbolic rituals can holistically transform marital relationships. This community-based intervention proves replicable in other local communities and churches in urban settings, especially those seeking to strengthen family resilience through integrated pastoral care and participatory action.

Syndicated credit serves as a response for banks in extending loans as an alternative financing mechanism when constrained by the legal lending limit. Syndicated loans have a distinctive characteristic, namely the requirement for collective decision-making among creditors to reach a resolution. Consequently, collateral execution is often delayed or not carried out optimally to recover bank receivables, resulting in participating banks bearing losses for a relatively long period. This research employs a normative juridical approach with descriptive-analytical research specifications using qualitative methods based on relevant legal norms and theories. The results show that the legal relationship between the bank agent and the syndicated creditors constitutes an agency relationship, namely a special power of attorney as regulated under the Civil Code. The Bank Agent, consisting of the Facility Agent, Security Agent, and Escrow Agent, acts according to their respective duties for the benefit of the syndicate within the scope of authority agreed upon in the credit agreement. The resolution of non-performing loans in syndicated credit schemes should be carried out by referring to credit rescue and settlement mechanisms as regulated in the OJK Regulation concerning the Asset Quality Assessment of Commercial Banks through the prudential principle. The legal liability of the Bank Agent or Security Agent arises only when it can be proven that the agent has acted beyond the authority granted to it.

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the residential spatial system of the Marori and Mengge ethnic groups in Wasur Village, Merauke, South Papua, in the context of their involvement in the eucalyptus oil industry as a leading tourism product of Wasur National Park. A rationalistic qualitative approach is used with the main theory of behavioral setting to examine the relationship between behavior, local culture, and spatial structure. The results of the study indicate that houses not only function as domestic spaces, but also as places for the production of eucalyptus oil, especially at the packaging stage. The overlapping use of space causes space invasion, changes in function, and the emergence of high spatial flexibility. The space of the house undergoes a temporal functional transformation, adjusting to the intensity of economic activities and cultural rituals of the community. Private, semi-public, and spiritual spaces experience shifting boundaries, which have an impact on social relationship patterns and living comfort. This study also found that social structure, customary values (Boan/marga), and division of customary areas play an important role in the formation of the spatial system. These findings are expected to be an important contribution to the development of residential architecture based on behavior and local wisdom, as well as community-based conservation area management. This study also highlights the urgency of preserving the culture and existence of indigenous tribes amidst the current of modernization and the threat of extinction.

The accelerating global ecological crisis, manifested in deforestation, biodiversity collapse, and extreme climate change, fundamentally reflects a deep-rooted moral and spiritual deterioration within modern humanity. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) holds a unique strategic position to address this crisis by systematically integrating naturalistic intelligence, the eighth dimension of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, into the character formation process of students. This qualitative library research employs content analysis and conceptual analysis techniques applied to relevant primary and secondary academic sources published between 2019 and 2026. The study pursues three objectives: (1) to examine the conceptual and theological foundations of naturalistic intelligence within the Islamic educational framework; (2) to identify the reciprocal relationship patterns between naturalistic intelligence and the formation of religious-ecological character in students; and (3) to formulate integrative Islamic education management strategies for optimizing naturalistic intelligence. Findings reveal that naturalistic intelligence possesses robust theological grounding in Islamic tradition, anchored in the concepts of tafakkur, ayat kauniyah, khalifatullah fil ardh, and scientia sacra, none of which are peripheral but rather central to the Islamic worldview. The relationship between naturalistic intelligence and religious-ecological character is bidirectional and mutually reinforcing, operating through three sequential pathways: from naturalistic intelligence to theological consciousness, from theological consciousness to intrinsic ecological motivation, and from intrinsic motivation to consistent religious-ecological behavior. Islamic education management can optimize naturalistic intelligence development through four strategic pillars: reconstruction of the PAI curriculum based on ayat kauniyah, development of innovative eco-theological pedagogy, construction of an eco-conscious school culture, and strengthening of school-family-community partnerships. This study advances the concept of "Spiritual Eco-Literacy" as an original paradigmatic contribution to 21st-century Islamic education.

Lumbar flexibility refers to the maximum capacity of the muscles in the lumbar spine to move freely. Impairment in functional movement may lead to restricted mobility, which can be influenced by disruption of biomotor components, particularly lumbar spinal flexibility. Flexibility may be affected by both internal and external factors, including age and duration of sitting during work. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sitting duration and age with lumbar flexibility using the Modified Schober Test among employees of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, Lhokseumawe City. This study applied a cross-sectional design and was conducted in December 2023 in the prayer room area of the PT Bank Syariah Indonesia branch office. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique involving 46 respondents. Data collection was performed by measuring lumbar flexibility using the Modified Schober Test method. The results showed that the highest proportion of respondents had limited lumbar flexibility, accounting for 24 respondents (52.2%). The majority of respondents had a sitting duration of 7–9 hours, totaling 26 respondents (56.5%), while the largest age group was 26–35 years, consisting of 23 respondents (50%). Spearman-Rank correlation analysis demonstrated a relationship between sitting duration and lumbar flexibility measured by the Modified Schober Test (r = 0.662). In addition, the relationship between age and lumbar flexibility also showed a correlation based on the Spearman-Rank test (r = -0.321). The study concluded that longer sitting duration and increasing age were associated with greater limitation in lumbar flexibility among employees of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, Lhokseumawe City.

One of the most actively traded and liquid stock groups in the capital market is the LQ45 index, which consistently attracts investor attention due to its strong market capitalization and transaction volume. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial performance and financial management strategies on firm value among companies listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018–2022 period. The study population consisted of 73 LQ45-indexed companies, with purposive sampling used to select 23 companies that met the research criteria. This research employed a quantitative approach using path analysis to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings indicate that profitability and leverage have a positive and significant effect on firm value. In addition, profitability and leverage also positively influence firm size, indicating that companies with stronger profitability and effective debt management tend to expand their operational scale. However, firm size does not significantly affect firm value and is unable to mediate the relationship between profitability, leverage, and firm value. These results suggest that investors place greater emphasis on profitability and leverage indicators than company size when evaluating firm value in LQ45 companies. Therefore, effective financial performance remains the primary factor in enhancing corporate value and investor confidence.
