The admission of patients to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or Intensive Cardiology Care Unit (ICCU) often occurs suddenly and under critical conditions, causing family members to experience psychological pressure such as anxiety, stress, and fear of losing their loved ones. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family knowledge and the level of anxiety among family members of patients treated in the ICU at Meuraxa General Hospital, Banda Aceh. The research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 114 patient families, with 35 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), which demonstrated high reliability (α = 0.897). Data were collected from June 18 to July 5, 2025, and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the chi-square test. The results showed that 19 respondents (54.3%) experienced moderate anxiety, while 14 respondents (40%) had low knowledge regarding ICU/ICCU care. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.005, indicating a significant relationship between family knowledge and anxiety levels. These findings highlight the importance of healthcare professionals in providing education to family members to improve understanding and help reduce anxiety during the patient’s treatment period in the ICU or ICCU.

The shrimp farming industry in Indonesia is predominantly dominated by Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), also known as white shrimp. This shrimp species is favored due to its fast growth rate and high economic value. However, the intensive farming practices often lead to various diseases, particularly those caused by parasitic infections. Ectoparasitic infections can create wounds on the shrimp’s body, making it easier for other pathogens like fungi, bacteria, and viruses to invade. This study aims to identify the types and levels of ectoparasite infestations on Vannamei shrimp to understand their impact on shrimp health and farm productivity. The research method used is a literature review, gathering data from various sources such as scientific journals, books, research reports, and technical notes related to shrimp farming. The findings of the study show that the presence of ectoparasites can serve as an important indicator to assess the health of the farming environment. High levels of parasitic infestations indicate suboptimal environmental conditions, such as poor water quality or improper management practices. Therefore, early identification of ectoparasites is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure the sustainability of Vannamei shrimp farming in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the improvement of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) through mathematics learning on the Three-Dimensional Geometry topic in Grade XII of Yayasan Pendidikan Al-Fattah Medan. HOTS is a crucial aspect of 21st-century education because it helps students develop critical, creative, logical, and reflective thinking skills in addressing complex problems. In the context of mathematics learning, particularly in spatial geometry, mastering HOTS not only supports students in understanding abstract concepts but also in applying them to real-life situations. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with instruments consisting of a pre-test, post-test, and an open-ended questionnaire to explore students’ understanding and learning experiences. The findings revealed a significant improvement, where the average pre-test score of 7 increased to 52.21 in the post-test. This result highlights that the implementation of HOTS-based learning strategies is effective in enhancing students’ comprehension of distance, angles, and point positions in space, while simultaneously strengthening their analytical, evaluative, and creative abilities. The study implies the importance of adopting innovative learning strategies oriented toward HOTS development to improve the quality of mathematics education and prepare students for global challenges.

Social media has become a new communication space that allows for the rapid and widespread dissemination of information, including on public issues. One of the platforms that is often used is social media X (formerly Twitter), where users can express their opinions and shape public perception. This study is entitled "The Influence of Hate Speech by Admin @keretacepatid on Patrick Kluivert (National Team Coach) on the Level of Followers' Perception on Social Media X" which aims to determine how hatred influences the formation of perceptions of social media users. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method and data collection techniques through online questionnaires to followers of the @keretacepatid account. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant influence of hatred on followers' perceptions. Some respondents showed a dominant attitude, namely agreeing with the negative narrative built by the account against Patrick Kluivert, while others were in a negotiating position, namely understanding the context of the speech but still considering Kluivert's professional background as a national team coach. This finding is the importance of ethical and responsible digital communication management in shaping public opinion in the era of social media.

Denpasar is a major fisheries hub in Bali, with Benoa Harbor serving as a docking site for large fishing vessels. The decline in catch volume and annual production has increased the urgency of implementing environmentally friendly fishing and resource management practices. Fishers in Serangan continue to use handline fishing gear, prompting the need for research to assess its environmental friendliness. This study employed a survey method, collecting data through field observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The analysis was conducted based on nine criteria of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) with a sample of 30 respondents. The results show that handline fishing has high selectivity, targets octopus (Octopus sp) as the main catch, and has minimal impact on habitats and biodiversity. The lowest score was recorded in the criterion of minimum discarded catch due to the presence of bycatch such as skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis), although these species still have market value. The total score obtained was 32.83, placing handline fishing in the highly environmentally friendly category.

This study aims to compare and analyze the accuracy levels of four financial distress prediction models—Altman Z-Score, Springate, Grover, and Zmijewski—in anticipating the potential bankruptcy of companies subjected to delisting from the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The delisting phenomenon, which is strongly linked to severe financial deterioration, provided the core motivation for identifying the most reliable predictive instrument, utilizing secondary data from the annual financial reports of delisted companies during the 2019-2023 observation period. Descriptive analysis techniques were employed to calculate the accuracy rate and Type Error for each model. The comparative results consistently indicate that the Springate Model is the most effective, consistent, and accurate model for predicting financial distress in delisted firms, achieving an accuracy rate of 89% in both the first and second years prior to delisting, while the Altman Z-Score model exhibited lower accuracy (68.75% and 62.50%). This key finding emphasizes the superiority of the Springate Model as a crucial diagnostic tool for investors and regulatory bodies in assessing corporate bankruptcy risk.

The learning medium was validated by a material expert with a score of 95 and by a media expert with a score of 90; both results fall into the category “very good.” Based on these results, the Gimkit learning medium on the topic of modal verbs is considered suitable and effective for teaching German at the A1 level in senior high schools, both for independent learning and for classroom instruction.

Solid financial performance is a crucial foundation for companies to achieve long-term success. In the banking context, financial health assessments are essential, as they directly relate to the stability of the national financial system. Therefore, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) has established standards for evaluating bank soundness using the RGEC method, which includes four key aspects: Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Earnings, and Capital. This study aims to analyze the soundness level of PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) during the 2020–2024 period using the RGEC approach. The assessment is conducted by evaluating financial ratios such as Non-Performing Loan (NPL), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). The analysis results show that BCA achieved a "very healthy" rating (PK-1) in all RGEC aspects. This reflects BCA's ability to effectively manage risk, implement sound corporate governance principles, and maintain strong profitability and capital. These findings strengthen BCA's position as one of the best-performing banks in Indonesia and demonstrate the company's commitment to maintaining financial stability and customer trust.

This study examines how Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) resolves financing disputes internally. Employing a qualitative approach with library research, the study draws on scholarly articles, books, and related documents. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively to identify common internal settlement practices that align with Sharia principles and national law. Results indicate that BMTs typically use deliberation among parties, mediation involving management or the Sharia Supervisory Board, and restructuring of financing as primary means to resolve conflicts. These options are favored to preserve institutional-member relationships and reduce adverse financial and social consequences. When internal measures do not succeed, disputes may be referred to Sharia arbitration or to religious courts. The findings highlight the importance of blending Sharia values with positive legal frameworks to ensure dispute resolution is fair, efficient, and sustainable.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the distribution of Zakat, Infak, and Sadaqah (ZIS) funds, economic growth, unemployment rate, and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) on the poverty rate in West Sumatra Province during the period 2020–2024. The data used are secondary data obtained from BAZNAS, BPS, and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), covering 12 regencies/cities in West Sumatra Province. This study employs panel data regression analysis using EViews 12 software to examine the relationships among the variables. The results indicate that, partially, the distribution of ZIS funds and PAD have no significant effect on the poverty rate. In contrast, economic growth and unemployment rate have a negative and significant effect on the poverty rate. Simultaneously, all four independent variables are found to have a significant influence on the poverty rate. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) is 0.123, indicating that 12.30% of the variation in the poverty rate can be explained by the variables in the study, while the remaining 87.7% is influenced by factors outside the model. The study provides policy implications suggesting that optimizing ZIS management, promoting inclusive economic growth, expanding employment opportunities to reduce unemployment, and utilizing PAD more effectively are crucial strategies for local governments and relevant institutions to effectively reduce the poverty rate in West Sumatra.

The level of anxiety during competition needs to be considered because it can interfere with the athlete's focus, cause difficulty in controlling movements, reduce the quality of the game, and hinder the application of strategies, which overall has a negative impact on athlete performance. This study was motivated by the observation of researchers who found that there were still many athletes experiencing symptoms of anxiety, such as cold sweaty hands and nausea. The research method used was a survey with Nyak Amir's Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS) questionnaire consisting of 22 statement items. The subjects of this study were 20 athletes who had met the criteria and were analyzed using descriptive statistics with Microsoft Excel and SPSS. The results of the research on the anxiety of Dukati Taekwondo Club athletes before the match were in the “rather low” category with an average score of 41.25. However, if analyzed further based on aspects of anxiety, there are differences in anxiety levels in each aspect. The somatic aspect has the highest anxiety with a score of 15.5, showing physical symptoms such as heart palpitations and body trembling. Motor aspects with a score of 14.75, affective with a score of 5.45, and cognitive 5.55 were mostly in the moderate category, reflecting muscle tension, feelings of anxiety, and negative thoughts before competing.

Conflict is a universal phenomenon that emerges in various aspects of life, ranging from education, social interactions, and law to ecological systems. Its complex dynamics require a deeper understanding of both the underlying sources and levels of conflict to enable constructive management. This study aims to systematically review the literature on conflict with a focus on two key aspects: *sources of conflict* and *levels of conflict*. The method employed is a literature review by searching articles through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) using the keywords “sources of conflict” and “levels of conflict.” From an initial pool of 30 articles, screening was conducted based on relevance, recency (2019–2025), and open access availability. The final selection yielded 7 articles for in-depth analysis. The findings indicate that sources of conflict include internal factors (psychological, values, communication), external factors (ecological, socio-cultural), and structural dimensions (legal, political). Levels of conflict were identified at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, and structural levels. This review highlights that conflict is a multidisciplinary phenomenon requiring integrative examination. The implications suggest the need for developing a cross-disciplinary conceptual framework to understand conflict comprehensively and to provide a stronger basis for more effective resolution strategies.
