Tajwid learning in rural mosque communities (DKM) is generally conventional, unstructured, and has not optimally utilized community potential, resulting in low quality of Qur’anic recitation (tahsin). This community service aims to improve the quality of santri’s Qur’anic recitation at DKM Al-Islah, Pangadegan Village, Pagelaran District, Cianjur Regency, through learning the Matan Tuhfatul Athfal using an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The method applied the ABCD framework through the stages of discovery, design, delivery/action, and reflection and sustainability, involving local ustadz, DKM administrators, and santri as key participants. The results indicate that mapping and utilizing local assets successfully established a more structured, participatory, and sustainable tajwid learning system. The integration of Matan Tuhfatul Athfal with peer learning increased active participation, self-confidence, and accuracy of Qur’anic recitation among santri. Furthermore, the program strengthened the institutional capacity of the DKM and fostered a strong sense of community ownership of the learning process. This study concludes that integrating classical matan-based learning with a community empowerment approach is an effective strategy for sustainably improving the quality of Qur’anic recitation in rural DKM settings.

This study explores the profound impact of teacher personality competence on student character formation through a descriptive narrative lens grounded in the sociology of education. Education is not merely a technical transfer of knowledge but a complex social process where the teacher acts as a pivotal moral agent and role model. By synthesizing classical sociological paradigms—Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism—with contemporary empirical evidence, this article argues that a teacher's personality is a dynamic social construct that shapes the "hidden curriculum" and the overall school climate. The narrative analysis reveals that traits such as empathy, integrity, and social justice are not just individual attributes but essential tools for moral socialization and the internalization of collective values. The study finds that teachers who embody these virtues foster a sense of social belonging and ethical responsibility in students, effectively bridging the gap between individual identity and societal expectations. The article concludes that strengthening teacher personality competence is a strategic imperative for developing a resilient and morally grounded generation, recommending integrated professional development that emphasizes the teacher's role as a moral authority in the 21st-century social landscape.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding parameter variations on the mechanical and metallurgical properties of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel, which is widely used in construction and industrial applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance and joint strength. The research focuses on identifying the optimal welding current to minimize welding defects and enhance joint structural integrity. Welding current was varied at three levels, namely 100 A, 125 A, and 135 A, while other parameters such as welding speed, argon shielding gas flow rate, and electrode type were kept constant. Mechanical properties were evaluated through Micro-Vickers hardness testing conducted in the weld metal, Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), and base metal, as well as tensile testing to determine ultimate tensile strength and elongation. In addition, non-destructive testing using the dye penetrant method was performed to detect surface welding discontinuities. Metallographic analysis was carried out using optical microscopy following an etching process to observe grain morphology, grain size, and the formation of microstructural phases. The results are expected to demonstrate a correlation between increased heat input due to higher welding current and changes in mechanical properties and microstructure, particularly in the HAZ. This study provides practical guidance for determining optimal TIG welding parameters for AISI 304 to achieve high tensile strength, homogeneous hardness distribution, and a stable microstructure resistant to intergranular corrosion.

This study was conducted to understand how parenting styles significantly influence the process of shaping children’s behavior. The method used in this research was a qualitative approach, with data collection carried out through interviews and direct observation of participants aged 10–18 years who live in Cicendo District, Bandung. Based on the results conveyed by several participants, it can be seen that parenting styles play a very important role in children’s growth and development as well as in the formation of their emotional conditions. Parents who play a positive role such as giving more attention, communicating well, and providing full support tend to build positive responses and emotional stability in children. This helps shape a healthy personality and creates a comfortable home environment that makes children feel safe. In contrast, parents who display negative roles and parenting styles such as being harsh, lacking attention, and frequently engaging in conflict tend to make children feel pressured and lack self confidence due to unmet emotional support. As a result, children may limit their relationship with their parents, which leads to emotional instability. Overall, the discussion shows that the family is the primary foundation for children, as their growth and development are strongly influenced by how parents fulfill their roles in shaping children’s personalities, which ultimately impacts their lives in the future.

Children with disabilities live with one or more conditions, physical, cognitive, sensory, or social, that limit their daily activities. These conditions necessitate specialized care and attention tailored to their specific needs. This study aims to explore how parents come to terms with their child’s condition, the factors that influence this acceptance, and its overall impact on family well-being. The results suggest that parental acceptance is rarely a straightforward process. It involves a complex emotional journey, often moving through stages of denial, anger, bargaining, and depression before reaching a point of acceptance. The speed and depth of this process are heavily influenced by both internal and external factors. Internally, spiritual values, educational background, and effective coping strategies play a vital role. Externally, the presence of social support and access to healthcare services are crucial. When parents embrace their child’s condition with unconditional love and focus on their potential, it significantly enhances the child’s developmental outcomes. Conversely, a lack of acceptance can increase the burden of caregiving and hinder the child’s progress.

Quiet quitting refers to a phenomenon in which employees do not formally resign from their jobs but intentionally limit their work efforts to the minimum required. This study aims to adapt the Quiet Quitting Scale developed by Galanis et al. (2023) into the Indonesian context. A quantitative approach was employed involving 100 respondents drawn from both private and government sectors. The adaptation process included forward translation by three linguists, synthesis of the translated versions, and cultural adjustment to ensure contextual relevance. Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) based on a three-factor model consisting of detachment, lack of initiative, and lack of motivation. The results indicate that the Indonesian version of the Quiet Quitting Scale demonstrates acceptable construct validity across the proposed factors. However, several items still require refinement, suggesting that further development and validation with larger and more diverse samples are necessary to strengthen the scale’s psychometric properties.

This condition not only affects physical health but also requires patients to make significant lifestyle changes to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Efforts to adopt a healthy lifestyle such as regulating diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress are often met with various challenges. In this context, family support plays a crucial role in helping patients adapt and remain consistent in self-management. This study aims to describe the experiences of type 2 diabetes patients in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and the forms of family support they receive. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving three participants undergoing outpatient treatment at RSUD Sultan Iskandar Muda Nagan Raya. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The findings show that patients face challenges in maintaining dietary control, consistent exercise, and emotional balance. However, family support such as reminding patients to take medication, providing healthy meals, and offering emotional motivation serves as a key factor that strengthens patients’ commitment to a healthy lifestyle. The study concludes that the success of diabetes management is highly influenced by active family involvement. Therefore, educational and health intervention programs should integrate families as essential partners in supporting patients with diabetes.

This study aims to explore the dynamics of psychological empowerment among women entrepreneurs by examining how they construct entrepreneurial identity, develop competence, cultivate independence, and generate social impact through their business activities. The background of this research stems from the need for women in micro and small enterprises to receive support that extends beyond technical skill development, emphasizing psychological aspects such as self-belief, personal control, and decision-making capacity. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study involved three women entrepreneurs selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews to capture the participants’ subjective experiences in managing their businesses. The findings reveal four central themes: entrepreneurial identity shaped by personal values and lived experiences, competence that evolves through continuous learning and problem-solving, independence reflected in decision-making and business management, and social impact manifested in the creation of economic opportunities and contributions to the surrounding community. These results illustrate that psychological empowerment among women entrepreneurs is a dynamic process formed through the interaction of personal experiences, entrepreneurial practices, and community support. The study emphasizes the importance of empowerment programs that integrate psychological strengthening alongside technical training, with communities serving as vital spaces for collective learning and mutual support. Recommendations highlight the need for holistic empowerment models that consider the sociocultural context of women entrepreneurs and foster sustainable growth in both personal and business capacities.  

Early marriage is a social phenomenon that still frequently occurs in Indonesia and gives rise to various problems, both from the perspective of state law and socio-religious aspects. From the standpoint of state regulations, early marriage is considered a violation of statutory provisions, particularly the Marriage Law, which stipulates a minimum legal age for marriage in order to protect children's rights. This practice results in various negative impacts, including increased health risks for mothers and children, disruption of educational attainment, economic instability within families, as well as high rates of divorce and domestic violence. From the perspective of Islamic law, early marriage is not absolutely prohibited; however, Islam strongly emphasizes the principles of public welfare (maṣlaḥah), physical and mental readiness, and responsibility in establishing a household. Therefore, Islamic legal solutions to early marriage as a violation of state regulations can be implemented through the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah approach, which aims to protect life, intellect, and lineage, as well as by supporting state regulations intended to safeguard the rights and welfare of children. Consequently, synergy between Islamic law and state law is essential in preventing early marriage and in creating a healthy and just family structure.

Based on article (Shelley, 2010) Human Trafficking is the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or corcecion for the purpose of exploiting them profit. This exploitation may include forced labor, sexual slavery, or other forms of commercial sexual exploitation. It is considered a serious violation of human rights and includes a form of modern slavery, a crime against humanity. Human trafficking is a global threat that requires serious attention and real action. Factors such as poverty, political instability, and lack of public awareness make human trafficking increasingly difficult to eradicate. Therefore, there is a need for international cooperation, government, and community cooperation to prevent, protect, and recover victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is a serious crime that continues to grow, including in Cambodia, which is vulnerable due to geographical and socioeconomic factors. This study aims to analyze the handling of human trafficking cases in Cambodia from the perspective of international legal policy. Sexual exploitation, forced labor, and organ trafficking are the main forms of this crime. Although Cambodia has adopted various laws, its implementation is still hampered by limited resources, corruption, and weak cooperation between countries. International community support such as the Palermo Protocol has helped, but law enforcement remains inconsistent. This study emphasizes the importance of stricter law enforcement and an adequate rehabilitation system for victims. Collaboration between governments and NGOs is urgently needed to create effective solutions and better protection for victims of human trafficking.
