Depression is one of the mental health problems that often arise in patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic kidney failure. This condition not only impacts the patient's quality of life, but also affects the treatment process and the burden on the family. However, mental health literacy in the community is still low, so targeted preventive and curative efforts are needed. The Community Service Program (PKM) aims to improve people's mental health through educational interventions with scientific booklet media that are easy to understand and apply. The activity method is carried out in a participatory manner, including the preparation stage, socialization, educational implementation, and evaluation. Education is provided to the community with a focus on preventing depression through a healthy lifestyle, stress management skills, and early intervention efforts by seeking professional support. Evaluation is carried out through pre-post tests, observations, and group discussions. The results of the activity showed an increase in public knowledge about depression, a change in attitudes to be more open in expressing feelings, as well as practical skills in relaxation, maintaining sleep patterns, and building social support. Participants also better understand the importance of seeking professional help when depressive symptoms are getting worse. The conclusion of this PKM is that the scientific booklet has proven to be effective as a preventive and curative educational intervention medium, and can be an innovative strategy in improving the mental health of people affected by chronic diseases.

This research aims to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of Grade VII B students at SMP Darul Ulum 5 Rebalas through the implementation of Madurese language-based ethnomathematics. The study is motivated by the students' difficulties in understanding mathematical concepts delivered in formal Indonesian, as their daily communication relies on the specific Madurese dialect of Rebalas Village. This study employs the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this research were 28 students from class VII B. The research instruments included test instruments in the form of group Student Worksheets (LKPD) and observation sheets for both teacher and student activities. The material focused on the topic of Lines and Angles. The results indicated an improvement in student learning outcomes from Cycle I to Cycle II. In Cycle I, the average group score was 80.2, which increased to 88 in Cycle II. Observations of student activities also showed a shift from passive participation in Cycle I to active and enthusiastic engagement in Cycle II. Furthermore, teacher observations showed significant improvement; initial issues regarding time management and excessive workloads were resolved, resulting in more enthusiastic and punctual teaching delivery. These findings demonstrate that the use of Madurese-based ethnomathematics helps students grasp mathematical terms more easily, increases discussion participation, and creates a more comfortable and interactive classroom atmosphere, thereby leading to improved learning outcomes.

This Community Intervention activity aims to optimize the identity of Ujung Piring Village through place branding, which includes creating a village logo, profile video, and designing a site plan for the village square. The main problems faced by the village are the lack of a strong visual identity to optimise its potential and structured planning of village space/facilities. The methods used in the village site plan development activity were observation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The results of the activity showed that the village logo successfully represented local values and history symbolically; the profile video was an effective medium for public communication; and the village square site plan provided direction for the development of a functional, aesthetic public space that supports social interaction. This activity proves that place branding can strengthen village identity, increase community engagement, and open up opportunities for village economic development. Further evaluation and monitoring are needed to assess the long-term impact of the implementation of this work program.

Public speaking is an essential communication skill that plays a crucial role in enhancing self-confidence, delivering ideas effectively, and fostering social participation. However, many women in rural areas still lack opportunities to develop this skill due to limited access to training, gender stereotypes, and minimal experience in public forums. These challenges lead to low levels of women’s involvement, particularly housewives who are members of PKK, in community activities and decision-making processes at the local level. This study aims to examine the impact of public speaking training on improving the knowledge, self-confidence, and social participation of PKK mothers in Nagari Sumpur Kudus. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a participatory approach through interactive lectures, speaking practice simulations, reflective discussions, participatory observations, and qualitative evaluations. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing based on field notes, observations, and participants’ feedback. The findings indicate that the training successfully improved participants’ understanding of basic public speaking techniques, including intonation, eye contact, body language, and structured idea delivery. Furthermore, the participants experienced significant growth in self-confidence, courage to speak in front of groups, and motivation to continuously practice their communication skills. The interactive and supportive learning atmosphere also strengthened collaboration and solidarity among PKK members. Thus, public speaking training not only enhances individual competencies but also contributes to women’s empowerment and their active participation in community development at the village level.  

Schools serve as environments where children receive a formal education. In addition to serving as educational institutions, schools can also pose a risk for spreading diseases. Diarrhea accounts for up to 65% of deaths, while other illnesses contribute to 26%. Healthy and clean living practices involve initiatives to offer learning experiences or establish environments for individuals, families, groups, and communities by facilitating communication, sharing information, and arranging educational opportunities to enhance knowledge, attitudes, and actions. This community service seeks to impart knowledge and awareness of clean and healthy living habits to Sekolah Dsar children, enabling them to incorporate these practices into their everyday lives. This community service is conducted through counseling delivered via lectures, interactive discussions, and simulations utilizing LCD media and instructional materials. The event was successful, and everyone involved was excited about this service project.

This study examines the role of officially appointed amil zakat in enhancing transparency and accountability in zakat governance in Mojopuro Village, Wonogiri Regency. Prior to this initiative, Mojopuro had no Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ), resulting in zakat practices that were traditional, undocumented, and lacking institutional oversight. Through a series of mentoring activities and seminars conducted from 8–18 September 2025, capacity-building efforts were directed toward prospective amil zakat, village officials, and religious leaders, focusing on zakat regulations, principles of transparency, and both vertical and horizontal accountability. The implementation methods included material delivery, group discussions, and consultative sessions, which ultimately led to the formal appointment of official amil zakat by the Wonogiri Regency BAZNAS. The findings demonstrate that the presence of official amil significantly improved the structural management of zakat, enhanced participants’ understanding of transparency and accountability, and strengthened coordination among amil, village administrators, and religious figures. These results indicate that village-based institutional mentoring can foster a transformative shift from traditional zakat practices toward professional, transparent, and accountable governance. This study thus offers a community-based empowerment model that can be replicated in other villages to improve zakat distribution effectiveness and build public trust in formal zakat institutions.

Parental involvement is widely acknowledged as a key factor in student academic success, particularly in second language acquisition. However, its impact at the university level, especially among pre-service English teachers, remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between parental involvement and English language achievement among first-year English Education students at Universitas Islam Kalimantan Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari Banjarmasin (UNISKA). Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 36 purposively selected participants using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. The instrument measured both the forms and frequency of parental involvement and students’ self-reported performance in English-related subjects. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation via SPSS 26. Findings indicate that students generally perceive moderate to high levels of parental involvement, especially in providing academic resources, financial support, and attending university-related events. However, involvement in educational decision-making and career discussions was notably low. A significant positive correlation was found between parental involvement and students' academic performance, particularly in aspects such as discipline, assignment completion, and encouragement. Emotional impacts such as increased motivation or reduced anxiety showed more mixed responses. These findings highlight the enduring influence of parental support in higher education and suggest further exploration of its emotional dimensions.

Budget efficiency is an important issue in state financial management because it is directly related to government spending priorities and their impact on public service programs. Discussions about budget efficiency policies are widespread on social media platform X, generating diverse public responses, thus necessitating an automated approach to understand public opinion trends more quickly and objectively. This research aims to analyze the sentiment of Indonesian people toward budget efficiency policies and compare the performance of the Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms in classifying sentiment. The research data used 10,909 Indonesian-language tweets sourced from a public dataset, which were then processed thru the preprocessing stages including cleaning, case folding, normalization, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming. Sentiment labeling is performed automatically using the Indonesian Sentiment Lexicon (InSet) approach to categorize data into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Feature extraction was performed using Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and then the data was divided into training and testing sets with an 80:20 ratio. Model performance evaluation was conducted using a confusion matrix and the metrics of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The research results show that sentiment distribution is dominated by negative sentiment at 56.78%, followed by positive sentiment at 37.40%, and neutral sentiment at 5.83%. In the classification stage, SVM performed best with an accuracy of 86%, while Naïve Bayes achieved an accuracy of 74%. These findings indicate that SVM is more optimal for sentiment classification on social media text data and can be utilized to more effectively support the analysis of public response to budget efficiency policies.

Islamic character education faces dual challenges: declining moral values among students and conventional teaching methods inadequate for developing higher-order thinking skills. This study examines the implementation of a smart learning environment (SLE) model to enhance metacognitive understanding in Aqidah Akhlak (Islamic Creed and Ethics) instruction among eighth-grade students at MTs Salafiyah Merakurak. Employing a mixed-methods action research design, involved 16 eighth-grade students divided into two groups. Data collection utilized classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and learning documentation. The SLE model integrated Google Classroom, interactive video content, WhatsApp Group discussions, and Google Forms assessments to create a technology-enhanced learning ecosystem. Findings revealed substantial improvements in students' metacognitive capacities: planning skills increased from 25% to 75%, monitoring abilities rose from 31% to 81%, and evaluation competencies grew from 19% to 69%. Students demonstrated enhanced learning autonomy, active participation in collaborative discussions, and improved self-reflection on content comprehension. The SLE approach successfully fostered engaging learning experiences while facilitating deeper internalization of Islamic ethical values. However, implementation encountered constraints including limited technological infrastructure and varied digital literacy levels among students. This research underscores the critical need for developing teachers' digital competencies and strengthening madrasah technological infrastructure to optimize technology-integrated Islamic education.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading infectious diseases causing morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Limited public health literacy regarding TB symptoms, prevention, and treatment adherence contributes to delayed diagnosis and poor treatment outcomes. This community service program aimed to improve public understanding and awareness of TB through interactive educational activities conducted at the Outpatient Unit and TB Clinic of UPT Puskesmas DTP Saketi, Pandeglang Regency. The activities involved 30 participants, including TB patients and their families. Interactive counseling sessions, audiovisual media presentations, and group discussions were used to engage participants actively. Evaluation results showed a 35% increase in participants’ knowledge scores, greater awareness of the importance of completing treatment, and improved communication between patients and healthcare workers. The implementation of interactive education proved effective in enhancing TB health literacy and supporting national TB elimination efforts at the primary healthcare level.

This study analyzes the implications of the slogan “returning to the Qur’an,” which is frequently understood as a call to rely directly on the Qur’an in addressing religious and social issues while neglecting essential exegetical disciplines such as tafsir, asbāb al-nuzūl, and other authoritative scholarly frameworks. The discussion is reinforced by the findings of Husnul Maab, a postgraduate student at the Institut Ilmu Al-Qur’an (IIQ), whose thesis on the textuality of Qur’anic interpretation and its relationship to religious diversity in Indonesia highlights the serious problems inherent in literalist approaches, particularly in the interpretation of verses related to jihad and politics. This research employs a qualitative library research method, using relevant literature as the primary source of data and analysis, requiring in-depth understanding and critical engagement with the subject matter. The findings indicate that the slogan “returning to the Qur’an” can function as a form of interpretive distortion when it is not accompanied by adequate scholarly competence. Attempts to deepen Qur’anic understanding without integrating the bayānī (textual), burhānī (rational), and ‘irfānī (ethical–spiritual) approaches tend to result in rigid and reductionist interpretations. Such purely textual readings represent an extreme position that may lead to harmful consequences, including the tendency to label others as unbelievers, sinners, or wrongdoers solely due to interpretive differences. Ultimately, religious understanding shaped by reactive and exclusionary interpretations poses a significant threat to religious pluralism and social harmony in Indonesia.

Among the afterlife in Islamic belief is the grave, where at the beginning of this period it is believed that the soul will be questioned by the angels Munkar and Nakir about his faith and deeds in the world. The purpose of this writing is focused on elaborating on Islamic eschatology in the story of Umar bin Khattab about post-death procedures. Literature research to find out a more in-depth discussion on the topic of post-death procedures by collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing information from books, journals, articles, and other relevant documents, was analyzed content. Findings: The story of Umar bin Khattab with the Angels Munkar and Nakir shows his concern for the welfare of the people. This reflects responsible leadership and is oriented towards the long-term good for all Muslims. Although this particular narrative is not widely documented in classical Islamic texts, it reflects a broader theme in Islamic teachings about the mercy and compassion of Allah and the angels. This story also highlights the exemplary character of Umar and his concern for the welfare of others, even in the afterlife. Conclusion: This story is about a leader who always thinks about the welfare of the people, including those who will face questions in the grave. Novelty: This finding highlights visionary leadership based on the essence of Islam that fosters true happiness in this world and the hereafter, considering the challenges of modern leadership oriented toward the afterlife.

In 2024, Indonesia’s food and beverage industry recorded IDR 110.57 trillion in investment and achieved GDP growth above the national average, highlighting its rapid development and importance for the economy. However, this growth does not automatically increase firm value, as internal factors such as solvency, firm growth, and dividend policy may play a crucial role. This study investigates how those factors affect firm value in food and beverage companies listed on IDX during 2021–2024. The research population comprises 84 companies, with purposive sampling resulting in 47 observations from 13 firms over four years. Data were collected from annual reports and analyzed applying multiple linear regression with SPSS 26. The results show that solvency and dividend policy don’t significantly affect firm value, while firm growth has a significant positive impact. Simultaneously, all three variables positively influence firm value with an adjusted R² of 11.8%. The paper enriches the academic discussion by validating the applicability of signaling theory in showing that firm growth acts as a stronger signal compared to solvency or dividend policy in the food and beverage industry, offering useful implications for investors and managers.

In accordance with Article 25 paragraph (2) of the Law on Judicial Power, the general judiciary is one part of the judicial power that has the authority to examine, adjudicate, and issue decisions in criminal and civil cases in accordance with the applicable regulations. In civil trial proceedings at the district court, there are three stages: the preliminary stage, the determination stage, and the execution stage. In civil justice, there is an effort to resolve disputes outside of trial, namely mediation, and in administrative court proceedings, there is an effort to resolve disputes outside the court, namely administrative efforts. Mediation is an effort to resolve conflicts through deliberation with the assistance of a neutral third party, known as a mediator, to reach an agreement that can be accepted by both parties. This administrative effort is a resolution process carried out internally within an agency between the government and the party filing an objection to a state administrative decision before the dispute is brought to court. The purpose of this study is to understand the differences in non-litigation efforts between civil courts and state administrative courts. The research method is normative, using a statutory approach that emphasizes the analysis of regulations related to the main discussion of this study. In civil courts, mediation aims and focuses more on efficiency, which benefits both parties and, in turn, can reduce the burden on judges in resolving disputes in court. On the other hand, the purpose of administrative measures in state administrative cases is oriented towards internal government supervision, as a last resort, and rapid correction.

Hypertension is a major public health problem with an increasing prevalence and is often undetected due to its asymptomatic nature, leading to serious complications if not properly controlled. Low levels of public knowledge and poor adherence to preventive behaviors, routine health checks, and treatment remain significant challenges in hypertension management at the community level. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness of hypertension through the implementation of the CERDIK and PATUH approaches. The program employed a community-based promotive and preventive method, including health education, blood pressure screening, and interactive discussion and counseling. The activity was conducted in RW 013, Kapuk Subdistrict, Cengkareng District, involving 60 adult and elderly participants. Knowledge levels were assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge after the health education intervention, with the mean knowledge score increasing from 35 before the intervention to 80 after the intervention. In addition, the variation in knowledge levels among participants became more homogeneous following the educational activities. High community enthusiasm and active participation during the program reflected positive acceptance and engagement with the hypertension education initiative. This community service activity confirms that community-based health education using the CERDIK and PATUH approaches is effective as a promotive and preventive strategy to enhance public knowledge of hypertension. Improved knowledge is expected to encourage healthier lifestyle behaviors and greater adherence to hypertension control practices, thereby supporting sustainable and independent blood pressure management within the community.
