This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the optimization of green open space (GOS)-based tourism object development at Panatapan Panyabungan Park, Mandailing Natal Regency. This area possesses high ecological and visual potential, yet its management remains suboptimal in terms of facilities, community participation, and institutional support. The study employs a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative methods using multiple linear regression analysis on 150 respondents, and qualitative methods through in-depth interviews with key informants. The results show that simul-taneously, the four independent variables—GOS quality (X1), tourism facilities and infrastructure (X2), community participation (X3), and local government support (X4)—significantly influence the optimization of tourism development (Y). However, partially, only X2 has a significant positive effect, while X1 and X3 have significant negative effects, and X4 has no significant effect. Qualitative findings reveal that the community is not involved in decision-making, and the local government has not demonstrated concrete intervention in managing the area. These findings suggest that the strategy for developing GOS-based tourism objects should emphasize improving basic facilities, establishing participatory governance, and strengthening the structural role of local governments. A collaborative and community-based approach is key to realizing a sustainable tourism area in environmental, social, and economic aspects.

Slum settlements developing around Final Disposal Sites (TPA) represent a complex phenomenon that affects the quality of the urban living environment. In Karo Regency, the proximity of the TPA to residential areas has raised various issues such as air pollution, declining sanitation quality, and limited community participation in spatial planning processes. This study aims to analyze the influence of Distance to the TPA (X1), Length of Residence (X2), Community Participation (X3), Perception of TPA Impact (X4), and Household Income (X5) on the Quality of Slum Settlements (Y). A quantitative approach was applied using a multiple linear regression model, based on primary data from 200 respondents residing in areas affected by the TPA. The analysis revealed that, simultaneously, the four independent variables (X1–X4) significantly influence settlement quality, whereas household income does not show a significant effect. Partially, Distance to the TPA and Length of Residence have negative effects, while Perception of TPA Impact has a positive effect. Interestingly, Community Participation shows a negative influence, indicating ineffective engagement in environmental management. The R² value of 0.016 suggests that the model explains only a small portion of the variation, yet the F-test significance supports the overall model's relevance. Recommendations from this study include the importance of establishing a minimum 300-meter buffer zone between the TPA and residential areas, implementing sanitary landfill methods to replace open dumping systems, forming environmentally-based community forums with advocacy strength, and conducting community-based waste management training focusing on high-risk households. Strengthening participatory approaches through integration into village and sub-district spatial planning is essential for managing environmental impacts collaboratively and sustainably.

Pharmacist professionalism is a key component in ensuring the quality of pharmaceutical services, encompassing not only compliance with technical and scientific standards but also a deep commitment to moral and ethical principles. In the Indonesian cultural context, the concept of "medicine as a trust" (obat sebagai amanah) reflects a profound sense of responsibility, where medicine is viewed not merely as a commodity, but as a mandate that must be preserved with integrity and accountability in health care practices. This article conceptually explores the relationship between pharmacist professionalism and the moral value of trust within the framework of the Nusantara constitutional theory. This theory emphasizes the integration of legal, cultural, and moral dimensions in shaping professional conduct in Indonesia. Using a descriptive-critical approach through literature review, this study investigates how trust functions as both a legal expectation and a cultural imperative in the practice of pharmacy. The findings highlight that trust must be internalized as a core value in pharmaceutical services—manifested through ethical decision-making, transparency in drug management, and a commitment to prioritizing patient welfare. Pharmacists are not only required to uphold professional standards, but also to carry out their duties as custodians of public trust. To realize this vision, the integration of the value of trust into pharmacy education, legal regulations, and clinical practice is essential. Educational institutions, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies must work collaboratively to instill this value as part of a pharmacist’s identity. In doing so, the profession can contribute more effectively to building a health care system that is just, culturally grounded, and centered on the well-being of the people.

The practice of overclaiming in the skincare industry, particularly through e-commerce platforms, has emerged as a critical concern in the realm of consumer protection law. Misleading product claims, especially regarding active ingredients such as retinol, can not only compromise consumer trust but also pose health risks. This study aims to analyze the legal responsibility of business actors in cases of exaggerated product claims, with a focus on the ElsheSkin case, in which the retinol content was scientifically proven to differ significantly from what was stated on the product label. Employing a juridical-normative and descriptive-analytical approach, this study uses secondary data derived from relevant legislation, expert commentary, regulatory standards, and digital media content. The findings indicate that ElsheSkin’s mislabeling constitutes a violation of the principle of transparency and the right of consumers to obtain accurate product information as regulated in Indonesian consumer protection law, particularly Law No. 8 of 1999. Despite the violation, ElsheSkin displayed a degree of legal and ethical responsibility by conducting a product recall, offering compensation to affected consumers, issuing a public apology, and initiating improvements to internal quality control mechanisms. The case underscores the urgent need for stronger regulatory oversight in the digital marketplace, especially in the skincare sector, where scientific claims can be easily manipulated for marketing gain. It also emphasizes the importance of enhancing public awareness and education regarding product ingredients and their actual effects. In conclusion, while business actors are legally bound to ensure the accuracy of product information, there must also be a collaborative effort between regulators, companies, and consumers to create a more transparent and trustworthy digital commercial environment.  

In today's digital era, technology plays a crucial role in supporting innovative, interactive, and engaging learning processes. Education is no longer limited to the use of conventional textbooks and whiteboards, but has been transformed through the integration of various digital media. In this context, digital literacy has become a key competency that students must possess. Digital literacy encompasses not only the ability to access and understand information from various digital sources but also involves critical thinking and collaborative skills, as well as the wise, ethical, and responsible use of technology.

Throughout the program, participants were guided step-by-step on how to install, use, and integrate Mendeley into word processing applications for academic writing. The results of the evaluation showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge and practical skills, with an N-Gain score of 0.70, which falls into the high effectiveness category. The training not only improved the quality of reference management in scientific papers but also promoted greater professionalism and academic accountability. Moreover, it supported the broader goal of integrating technology into educational development. Overall, this initiative is expected to encourage more systematic, efficient, and digitally literate practices in academic writing among educators, ultimately contributing to improved educational quality in higher education settings.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type in science instruction for Grade V students at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, which consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles to measure progressive improvements in student learning outcomes. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects were all 20 students of Grade V at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. In the pre-cycle stage, before the intervention, only 25% of the students achieved satisfactory learning outcomes, which was categorized as "not yet meeting expectations." After the implementation of the first cycle, student achievement improved to 50%, falling into the category of "approaching fairly successful." However, this result had not yet reached the expected level of success. In the second cycle, the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model was further optimized. The results showed a significant increase, with 80% of students achieving successful outcomes, which was categorized as "approaching highly successful." This improvement demonstrates that the jigsaw model effectively enhances student engagement, individual and group accountability, and conceptual understanding in science learning. Therefore, this study concludes that the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes in science. The researcher recommends that teachers, especially in science and religious education (PAI), adopt the jigsaw learning model as a strategic alternative to foster an active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning process. The collaborative nature of the model encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and for helping their peers, creating a more supportive and productive classroom environment.
