This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Palangka Raya City Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2024 concerning Tourism Villages at the Sei Batu tourist attraction in Sei Gohong Village, with a primary focus on facility maintenance and the development of the local community’s creative economy. In addition, this study seeks to understand the extent to which the policy is able to encourage community participation in managing tourism potential in a sustainable manner. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with informants purposively selected from management, local government, and community elements. The results indicate that the implementation of the policy has not been optimal, as reflected in weak communication among stakeholders, limited human and financial resources, low commitment among implementers, and ineffective institutional coordination. Furthermore, the lack of regular monitoring and evaluation has also slowed the achievement of policy objectives. This condition has led to neglected tourism facilities and the underdevelopment of local creative economy products as part of community empowerment efforts. These findings indicate a gap between the formulated policy and the reality of its implementation in the field. Therefore, comprehensive improvements are needed in aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, accompanied by enhanced collaboration among relevant stakeholders, so that the objectives of community-based tourism development can be achieved sustainably and provide tangible benefits to the local community

Medication adherence among the elderly is an important factor in achieving successful therapy, particularly during the month of Ramadan when changes occur in meal patterns and medication schedules. Elderly patients with chronic diseases often experience difficulties in adjusting their medication timing, which may lead to poor adherence. This study aimed to implement a smart pill boxwith educational labels to improve knowledge and medication adherence among elderly individuals during fasting. The study involved 40 elderly respondents in a social care institution. The intervention consisted of training on the use of the smart pill box, educational labeling, and evaluation through observation, interviews, and checklist forms. The results showed that most respondents took medication twice daily (42.5%) and adjusted their medication schedules to sahur and iftar (45%). Before the intervention, 57.5% of respondents had not received information about medication use during fasting. The implementation of the smart pill boxwith educational labels improved the elderly’s understanding of medication use and supported better medication adherence during Ramadan.

Bronchopneumonia is a type of infection of the lower respiratory tract that often occurs in children, especially toddlers. This disease is characterized by inflammation of the bronchioles and lung tissue which triggers increased production of secretions in the airways. The buildup of secretions often causes nursing problems in the form of ineffective airway clearance, which is indicated by ineffective coughing, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, and the appearance of additional breath sounds such as rales. Chest physiotherapy in children was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the clapping technique in helping to clear the airway in bronchopneumonia patients. The method applied in evidence-based practice (EBP) uses case studies with a nursing care approach. Intervention was given to three patients with a diagnosis of bronchopneumonia for three days, with a duration of approximately 1-2 minutes in each area of ​​the chest. Evaluation is carried out using a stethoscope and measuring time (clock), with the results recorded on an observation sheet. After chest physiotherapy (clapping), the three patients showed improvement in airway clearance, which was indicated by respiratory frequency returning to normal, no additional breath sounds (ronchi), and reduced secretion production. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the application of EBP through chest physiotherapy is effective in increasing airway clearance in bronchopneumonia patients.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in supporting local and national economic development, particularly through employment generation and income distribution. Seasonal religious events such as Ramadan significantly influence consumption patterns and market dynamics, creating both opportunities and challenges for MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the “Seri Ramadhan” phenomenon within the strategic management practices of MSMEs in Martapura, focusing on the periods before and after Ramadan. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with field study methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving selected MSME actors in the culinary, fashion, and retail sectors. The findings indicate that prior to Ramadan, MSMEs emphasize strategic planning through product innovation, stock preparation, promotional intensification, and operational adjustments. After Ramadan, they conduct performance evaluations, inventory control, and strategic realignment to maintain business sustainability. The study highlights that Ramadan is not merely a short-term sales opportunity but also a strategic momentum integrated into broader business planning cycles. The implications suggest that adaptive and cyclical strategic management enhances MSME resilience and competitive advantage in seasonal markets.

The internationalisation of SMEs in the era of the global economy is still faced with low strategic readiness, limited innovation capacity, and sub-optimal digital transformation. This study aims to test a model of SME internationalisation strategy based on innovation and digital transformation. The study employs a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey design involving 200 owners or key managers of SMEs in East Java, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using SEM-PLS through measurement model evaluation, structural model evaluation, and bootstrapping tests. The results indicate that innovation has a positive effect on digital transformation and internationalisation strategy, whilst digital transformation has a positive effect on internationalisation strategy. The indirect effect of innovation on internationalisation strategy via digital transformation is also significant, indicating partial mediation. These findings confirm that the internationalisation of SMEs becomes more effective when innovation and digital transformation are coherently integrated into business models and external market orientation. Implicitly, strengthening the global competitiveness of SMEs requires simultaneous intervention in business model renewal, digital capabilities, and policy ecosystem support.

This study is motivated by the importance of the effectiveness of the Indonesia Smart Card for Higher Education Program (KIP-K) in expanding access to higher education for students from low-income families at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the KIP-K Program based on the aspects of goal attainment, integration, and adaptation. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. In terms of goal attainment, the program helps students continue their education, although several challenges remain, including limited quotas, inaccurate targeting, and suboptimal on-time graduation. In terms of integration, coordination among program administrators, faculties, departments, students, and banking partners has functioned quite well, although academic services for recipients have not been entirely equal. In terms of adaptation, the program has shown the ability to adjust to policy changes and students’ needs through periodic evaluation and adjustments to the disbursement mechanism. The implication is that stronger targeting accuracy, academic assistance, service quality, and evaluation systems are needed to ensure more optimal and sustainable program implementation.

This literature study examines the process of self-regulation in transforming compliance with school rules originating from external pressure into behavioral regularity emerging from personal awareness, and its impact on the effectiveness of student learning outcomes. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis method, this study synthesizes relevant literature to build a theoretical framework on how self-regulation facilitates the internalization of disciplinary values. The findings reveal that self-regulation occurs through a series of interconnected stages including goal setting, strategy planning, self-monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment. The success of this process is determined by internal motivation, appropriate environmental support, positive direct experiences, and healthy emotional management. Strong self-regulation directly impacts learning outcome effectiveness through improved cognitive strategies, strengthened intrinsic motivation, enhanced time and environment management, and developed capacity to constructively cope with failure. Learning outcomes achieved through self-regulation processes are characterized by lasting understanding, knowledge transfer ability, and the formation of lifelong learning dispositions. Schools and teachers play strategic roles in strengthening self-regulation through curriculum design that supports autonomy, formative feedback, role modeling, and collaboration with parents. This study contributes theoretically by positioning self-regulation as the central mechanism bridging external influences and internal disposition formation.

The Amaliyah Ramadhan Program is a religious activity carried out to instill spiritual values ​​while increasing the social awareness of students. This activity serves as a means of character development through various worship and social activities during the month of Ramadan. The implementation of a targeted program is expected to be able to form an attitude of empathy, togetherness, and concern for the surrounding community. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Amaliyah Ramadhan Program in increasing the social awareness of students at Pondok Trensami Kwangsan Sedati, Sidoarjo. The method used is the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach by utilizing the potential and assets owned by the Islamic boarding school community. The stages of the activity include discovery (identifying potential), dream (formulating program expectations), design (planning activities such as tadarus, studies, sharing takjil, and charity), and destiny (program implementation and evaluation). The results of the activity indicate that the Amaliyah Ramadhan Program is able to increase the social awareness of students as demonstrated through active participation in sharing activities, attitudes of mutual assistance, and increased awareness to care for the surrounding community. This program also strengthens the values ​​of togetherness and social responsibility within the Islamic boarding school environment.

Digital evolution in the pattern of social interaction of the community also has a significant influence on the dynamics of the national judicial system. The transformation covers all judicial sectors, both religious and public, especially related to the technique of presenting evidence in the litigation process. This research is carried out with normative legal methods and is descriptive analytical. The author utilizes secondary data obtained through library search, which is then processed with qualitative normative analysis techniques. The legitimacy of screenshots as evidence has been explicitly regulated in applicable regulations. Referring to the renewal of the ITE Law in Law Number 1 of 2024, Article 5 paragraph (1) affirms that electronic information and its printed results are recognized as valid evidence before the law. This study shows that normatively, screenshots have a strong legal position in the civil system. However, in the reality of the trial, this instrument is positioned as a free evidence (vrij bewijs), which means that the weight of the evidence is not absolute and depends on the judge's evaluation and conviction.

Transparency in human resource management has become a strategic issue in modern organizations, particularly through the implementation of salary transparency as part of the broader concept of radical transparency. This study aims to analyze the psychological and managerial impacts of salary information disclosure and its implications for human resource leadership within organizations. The research employs a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review by examining relevant scholarly articles published within the last five years. The findings indicate that salary transparency contributes positively to enhancing employees’ perceptions of fairness and trust; however, it may also generate negative consequences such as social comparison, interpersonal conflict, and decreased job satisfaction if not properly managed. From a managerial perspective, salary transparency promotes greater accountability, strengthens performance evaluation systems, and encourages more open and participative leadership practices. This study contributes by integrating psychological and managerial dimensions into a comprehensive conceptual framework and highlights the importance of organizational readiness in strategically managing transparency policies to achieve effectiveness and sustainability.

This research is motivated by the importance of strengthening a professional public service culture through the integration of public administration values, norms, and ethics. Although various regulations and codes of ethics have been established in public organizations, gaps remain between formal norms and service practices in the field, such as low levels of responsiveness and professionalism among civil servants. This study aims to analyze the relationship between values, norms, and ethics in shaping public service culture, and to examine the role of organizational ethics and codes of ethics in strengthening public administration professionalism. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through a literature review of relevant journals, books, and policy documents. Content analysis techniques were used to identify patterns of relationships between concepts. The results indicate that the internalization of ethical values ​​such as integrity, accountability, and transparency significantly influences the quality of public services. An organizational code of ethics serves as a formal instrument that clarifies standards of conduct for civil servants and strengthens a professional work culture. Consequently, public organizations need to strengthen ethics training, oversight mechanisms, and the integration of ethical values ​​into performance evaluation systems to build responsive and public-interest-oriented services.

Activities included the delivery of educational materials on functional foods and the health benefits of probiotics, as well as a practical demonstration of yogurt preparation. Program evaluation was carried out through observation of participant engagement and interactive discussions. The results indicated that participants were able to successfully follow all stages of yogurt production and demonstrated high enthusiasm for the use of local ingredients as healthy food alternatives. The resulting product exhibited acceptable sensory characteristics and an appealing appearance. This activity contributed to improved nutritional literacy and food processing skills and demonstrated potential to support household-level food self-reliance.  

Abstract: Lesson Study is a collaborative process where teachers identify learning problems, plan improvements, implement instruction with one teacher teaching and others observing, evaluate, revise, re-teach, re-evaluate, and disseminate results. This method serves as a reference for HOTS-based classroom instruction aimed at enhancing learning motivation, student achievement, and critical thinking. The community service was conducted at the Tadris Social Sciences Study Program, FTIK, UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah, and MI Podorejo, Sumber Gempol, Tulungagung, through planning, implementation, and reflection stages. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a sequential design covering preparation, micro-teaching training, school mentoring, Lesson Study implementation, and comprehensive final evaluation. Observations from this Lesson Study revealed that students demonstrated critical thinking and active participation in learning. This activity is expected to foster synergy among lecturers, teachers, and pre-service teachers in designing, implementing, and evaluating teaching-learning activities, making instructional methods more creative, innovative, and adaptive to technological advancements.

This study aims to explore the shift in students' ethical paradigms regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its relationship to the phenomenon of plagiarism. Using a qualitative approach with the theoretical frameworks of Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Pierre Bourdieu's Habitus, this study examines how AI technology is changing the nature of scientific work. The results show the normalization of AI use as a new "digital habitus," where 83% of students consider AI a legitimate research tool, but on the other hand, it creates a condition of "Aesthetics Without Substance." The main findings reveal a reduction in originality where academic honesty is only measured through technical scores (such as Turnitin), rather than intellectual depth. The comparison between authentic and AI-based writing indicates the risk of systemic intellectual atrophy. In conclusion, this study recommends the need for a redesign of educational evaluation systems that focus on processes and verbal dialectics to mitigate the impact of pseudo-competence on college graduates.
