The era of digital disruption marked by the massive spread of hoaxes and disinformation presents a serious challenge for the church in maintaining the unity and purity of teaching. The gap between the need for a relevant leadership response and the lack of practical models that can be applied is a key problem that this study seeks to answer. This study aims to (1) analyze the essential components of an adaptive model of Christian leadership in responding to these challenges, and (2) formulate a practical framework that blends spiritual and educational strategies for church leaders. Using qualitative research methods with a literature review approach, secondary data from various scientific literature are analyzed through qualitative content analysis to build a conceptual model. The results of the study conclude that an effective leadership model is built on three main foundations: the character of a leader with integrity, in-depth knowledge of the digital and theological landscape, and practical skills in communication and education. The most effective framework is one that synergizes a spiritual approach to build the resilience of the faith of the congregation from within, with an educational approach to equip the congregation with digital literacy in the face of external threats.

Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common types of lung cancer, especially in non-smoking women. This disease can develop progressively to cause complications such as pleural effusion and hydropneumothorax. Risk factors involved include exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, radon, and a history of previous tuberculosis. A 61-year-old woman came with complaints of right chest pain radiating to the back, shortness of breath, dry cough, weakness, and weight loss. The medical history showed that the patient had undergone chemotherapy for lung cancer and had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis that had been resolved. Supporting examinations such as CT-scan, bronchoscopy, and cytology showed a mass in the right lung inferior lobe and massive pleural effusion leading to a diagnosis of stage IVA right lung adenocarcinoma (T3N1M1A) complicated by hydropneumothorax. The patient underwent management in the form of chemotherapy, supportive therapy, and symptomatic care.

Public awareness is needed to reduce the use of single-use plastics. One effort to reduce plastic waste is by replacing chemical-based materials with natural alternatives. This study aims to analyze the effect of beeswax thickness on the type of fabric used. A quantitative method was applied by measuring the thickness of each material sample with beeswax mass variations of 10 grams, 15 grams, and 20 grams. The results showed that blacu fabric with 15 grams of beeswax had a “very good” coating thickness. Blacu fabric with 10 grams of beeswax had a “good” thickness, while 20 grams resulted in a “fair” thickness. The thickness of the fabric material varied according to the beeswax mass and affected the coating uniformity of beeswax applied to the fabric surface.

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.

The political transformation in post-New Order Indonesia has opened up space for public participation and press freedom in democratic life. In this context, mass media and social media play an important role in shaping people's political awareness. They also influence political behavior. This research aims to analyze the contribution of print and digital media in delivering political messages. The media also plays a role in building public opinion and shaping the political image of certain actors. This research examines various political communication literature and theories as well as the involvement of actors such as politicians, media professionals, and activists with a qualitative method through a literature study approach. The research proves that the media has the ability to shape socio-political reality through agenda-setting mechanisms in addition to being a means of disseminating information. Social media is now an effective campaign tool as well, with a significant influence on people's political attitudes, depending on the credibility of the political communicator, the background of the audience, and the quality of the message. That the media is a strategic instrument in modern political communication and helps determine the direction of democratic dynamics in Indonesia has been confirmed by these findings.

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.

This article discusses the poem “Sajak Suara” by Wiji Thukul through a structural approach that emphasizes the analysis of intrinsic elements of the text, such as diction, imagery, figurative language, typography, and the poem’s inner structure. This poem was chosen because it contains a strong ideological message related to the struggle against oppression and the silencing of freedom of expression, particularly in the context of the New Order regime. The analysis shows that the poem’s formal structure both in form and content, actively reinforces the spirit of resistance and freedom. The use of direct diction, rhetorical language, and free typography reflects an expression of tension and determination. Thus, the structural approach is able to reveal how the poem’s form itself becomes a crucial instrument in conveying socio-political messages. This study is expected to broaden appreciation of poetry as a medium of critique and collective awareness.

Political advertising is one of the efforts to "market" themselves and political messages from candidates for power. As a candidate, Budi Rustandi (Budi) carries out propaganda by advertising with the aim of gaining power in Serang City in collaboration with Nur Agis Aulia (Agis). The purpose of the study in this article is to explain how the political advertisements of the Budi Agis pair that were broadcast in the mass media in Banten during the 2024 Serang Mayor and Deputy Mayor election succeeded in becoming a reliable strategy in achieving the goal of winning and being elected as Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Serang for the 2024-2029 period. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method, focusing research on the mass media advertisements of the Budi Agis pair accompanied by analysis using the concept of political communication. The results show that the political advertisements distributed by Budi-Agis have succeeded in forming a positive image. With political advertisements, they raise public awareness of their existence in the world of politics. In addition, Budi Agis' political advertisement also aims to strengthen the loyalty of members and sympathizers of the Gerindra Party and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) towards them while inviting non-party communities to vote for them.

Corruption is a structural problem that continues to hamper development and equitable welfare in Indonesia. The data sources used consist of 13 national scientific journals, 3 reports from non-governmental organizations (ICW, KPK, TII), and 4 credible mass media outlets (Kompas, Tempo, CNBC Indonesia, and BBC Indonesia) published between 2019 and 2025. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the consistency and institutional challenges in anti-corruption efforts, as well as to recommend strengthening the integrity system in public policy governance in the future. Based on an analysis of three strategic cases—e-KTP, COVID-19 social assistance, and the free lunch program—the role of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) shows a transformation from a repressive approach to a more preventive and systemic one. In the e-KTP and social assistance cases, the KPK emphasized its strong law enforcement function, while in the free lunch program, the KPK positioned itself as a strategic supervisor from the planning stage to prevent potential irregularities.

This study aims to analyze the impact of layoffs (PHK) on the decline in people's purchasing power and Indonesia's economic growth in 2025. Layoffs are predicted to increase due to various factors such as tax hikes, subsidy restrictions, and decreased purchasing power. The study uses a quantitative method with secondary data from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, Bank Indonesia, and other relevant institutions, as well as consumer survey data to measure the decline in purchasing power. The results show that layoffs significantly reduce people's purchasing power, which in turn negatively affects household consumption and national economic growth. The MSME and informal sectors are also affected by this decline in purchasing power. The study recommends policies that support industries prone to layoffs, revise layoff requirements, and maintain macroeconomic stability to prevent mass layoffs and minimize their impact on Indonesia's economy.

The transformation of settlement patterns in Ciwandan District, Cilegon City, is a consequence of massive industrial expansion over the past two decades. This change has resulted in the conversion of coastal agricultural land into high-density urban-industrial areas with heterogeneous settlement characteristics. This study aims to describe population dynamics, spatial structure changes, and their impact on the quality of life of the community. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with a literature review method. The findings indicate that the increase in population, particularly the working-age population, is accompanied by the growth of informal housing and pressure on basic infrastructure such as sanitation, clean water, and green open spaces. The imbalance between industrial growth and the provision of public services has created various social and ecological challenges. Therefore, there is a need for the integration of spatial planning policies, adaptive infrastructure development, and partnerships between the government, the community, and the industrial sector to create livable and sustainable residential areas.

Indonesia's biodiversity holds great potential for drug development, including through the use of traditional medicinal plants such as tapak liman (Elephantopus scaber L.), suruhan (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth), and temu ireng (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.). These plants have been used in traditional medicine and are known to contain bioactive compounds with potential anticancer properties. Tapak liman contains compounds capable of inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Suruhan is known to have cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects, while temu ireng contains compounds with antioxidant and anticancer activity. This study aims to identify and quantify the bioactive compounds in these three plants using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and to explore their therapeutic potential in cancer treatment. The results of GC-MS analysis successfully identified six main compounds that have potential as anticancer agents, namely Phytol, Caryophyllene, Apiol, Germacrone, Germacrene B, and one additional compound. Temu ireng contains Germacrone, Germacrene B, and Caryophyllene, while suruhan contains Caryophyllene, Apiol, and Phytol. Meanwhile, tapak liman shows the presence of bioactive compounds that support cytotoxic activity. The focus of this study is on the interaction of bioactive compounds with the Bcl-2 protein, which plays a role in inhibiting apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, molecular analysis revealed that Germacrone, Germacrene B, Caryophyllene, and Apiol can also bind to the p53 protein, known as a guardian of the genome and a trigger for apoptosis. These findings suggest that the three plants have high potential as natural sources of anticancer agents. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are recommended to test the biological efficacy of these compounds in the context of cancer therapy, thereby bridging traditional knowledge with modern scientific approaches in the development of natural-based medications.

Plastic waste is currently still a serious problem for society due to the lack of sensitivity to environmental problems and the impact of careless disposal of plastic waste in many places. The injection molding process on industry scale often faces obstacles such as machines that have not worked efficiently, injection capacity that is unable to fill the mold completely, and the emergence of product defects due to plastic flow that begins to freeze before the entire cavity is completely filled. This study aims to design and simulate a prototype injection molding machine with a capacity of 4 tensile test specimens (total volume 28.5 cm³) in order to overcome these problems and to adjust the practicum needs of mechanical engineering students. The design process is carried out with SolidWorks software for 3D design, as well as flow simulation using SolidWorks Plastics and Flow Simulation with recycled Polypropylene (PP) material at melting temperature ± 230 ° C and injection pressure ± 5.3 MPa. The design results in a machine with dimensions of 1273 × 400 × 826 mm equipped with main components in the form of a frame, electric motor and gearbox, hopper, body safety, wheels, piston cylinder, control panel, heater, screw with barrel, and mold. SolidWorks Plastics simulation shows that the plastic flow fills the mold evenly with a filling time of 10.93 seconds, cycle time of 83.94 seconds, and maximum pressure of 5.38 MPa in the gate area, while Flow Simulation simulation shows a spiral flow pattern from the hopper to the end of the mold without backflow, with a mass flow rate of 0.0227 kg/sec and an average pressure of 97.765 Pa. These results prove that the design and simulation can improve process efficiency and mold quality

This study examines the poem  "Peringatan" ("Warning") by Wiji Thukul using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The aim of the research is to uncover the meaning of resistance implied in the poem through three layers of meaning: denotative, connotative, and myth. The poem was written in a repressive socio-political context, in which freedom of expression was silenced by those in power. Through a Barthesian approach, the lines of the poem are analyzed as a system of signs that symbolically represent resistance against authoritarian rule. The analysis reveals that the poem not only conveys an aesthetic message but also constructs a counter-discourse to the dominant ideology. The poem becomes a site of resistance, urging the people not to submit to oppression. This study reinforces the view that literature, particularly poetry, holds great potential as a medium of struggle and freedom.
