This study looks at how the government isn't doing enough to watch over logging in Sumatra and how that leads to a higher chance of flooding, using the ideas from Administrative Law. Ineffective supervision, both during the licensing process and afterwards, significantly contributes to the decline of the forest's ecological functions, resulting in hydrological disasters. The study uses normative law and follows a literature review method. The data used consists of secondary data, including primary legal materials such as legislation, as well as secondary materials like textbooks, academic journals, and digital sources. Data was gathered by looking at documents and then looked at using a descriptive-qualitative approach. The research shows that the government's failure to properly carry out its responsibilities in forestry management can be considered an illegal government action, known as an 'onrechtmatige overheidsdaad'. This action goes against the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB), especially the principles of being careful with public money, being responsible, and ensuring that laws are clear and followable. This situation leads to the government being responsible, which means they must take steps to fix the environment and offer help to the communities that were affected. This study suggests strengthening the forestry oversight system by implementing regulatory improvements, improving the capacity of officials, utilizing technology, and involving the community actively to ensure transparent, accountable, and sustainable environmental management.

Correspondence management is very important in government administration because it helps all parts of the organization communicate more easily. The purpose of this study was to assess the manual mail management system at the Riau Province Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) and find barriers and conformity with applicable regulations, especially Riau Governor Regulation No. 45/2019. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, literature research, and visual documentation. The results showed that the manual system used causes recording errors, delays in letter distribution, and difficulties in archive retrieval. In addition, the current provisions have not fully digitized the official manuscript and archive classification. Limitations in budget, infrastructure and HR training lead to mismatches between practices and regulations. The results show that to increase bureaucratic efficiency and improve accountability of public information, we must shift to a digital-based mail management system. According to this study, digitization of archives through applications such as Srikandi should begin immediately. This is necessary so that BPSDM can meet the demands of fast and accurate information services in the era of information technology.

Breast cancer is a chronic disease that affects not only physical health but also psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of patients’ lives. Spiritual well-being is an important internal resource that helps patients cope with illness, maintain hope, and find meaning in life during long-term treatment. This study aimed to describe the level of spiritual well-being among breast cancer patients undergoing treatment. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 142 breast cancer patients were selected using purposive sampling at the Oncology Center of RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh. Data were collected using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), which measures religious and existential well-being, and were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a high level of spiritual well-being (66.2%), while 23.9% were categorized as moderate and 9.9% as low. These findings indicate that breast cancer patients generally have strong spiritual resources, particularly in maintaining their relationship with God and finding meaning and purpose in life despite living with a chronic illness. This study highlights the importance of integrating spiritual assessment and spiritual care into holistic nursing practice, especially in palliative and supportive care settings.

Natural Science (IPA) learning in elementary schools requires the use of learning media that is able to increase students' interest in learning, learning outcomes, and critical thinking skills. However, science learning is still often done conventionally, causing students to be less active and easily bored. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate learning media that is interactive and in accordance with technological developments. One of the digital learning media that can be used is the Quizlet application. This study aims to examine the application of digital flashcards and interactive quizzes using Quizlet learning media in learning the properties and changes of the form of objects in elementary schools. The research method used is a literature study by examining various relevant sources in the form of scientific journals, research articles, and supporting references related to the use of Quizlet in learning. The results of the study show that the use of Quizlet has a positive impact on the learning process, especially in increasing students' interest, activeness, and feelings of happiness during learning. Quizlet's flashcard and test features help students understand the material through engaging visual and audio-visual displays and varied practice questions. In addition, the use of Quizlet has also been proven to be able to improve students' critical thinking skills through question-answering activities, analyzing material, and providing opinions. Student learning outcomes showed an increase with an average score above the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). Thus, Quizlet can be concluded as an effective, engaging, and relevant digital learning medium to support science learning in elementary schools.  

Guidance and counseling constitute a crucial element in the educational structure of elementary schools, functioning to support students’ holistic development, including academic, social, emotional, and personal aspects. As students at this level are in the early stages of development, they require systematic guidance to actively adapt to the school educational context while optimizing the development of their potential to an optimal level. This study aims to examine the variety of guidance and counseling services in elementary schools and their role in addressing students’ problems through a literature review of relevant scientific sources, including national and international journals as well as reference books published after 2020. The results indicate that the implementation of guidance and counseling at the elementary school level encompasses various forms of services, such as orientation to the school environment, information services, placement and referral guidance, group guidance activities, individual and group counseling services, consultation, and mediation efforts. These services contribute to helping students overcome learning difficulties, behavioral problems, social adjustment issues, and personality development. However, their implementation still faces several challenges, including a shortage of professional personnel and teachers’ limited understanding of guidance and counseling. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen guidance and counseling programs in elementary schools in a well-planned and sustainable manner.

Expressive feelings therapy is a form of mental health nursing modality therapy that aims to help individuals express their thoughts and emotions openly without violating the rights of others. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of cognitive therapy focused on “expressing feelings” in improving emotional expression abilities among female patients in the recovery phase at the Anggrek Ward of the Aceh Government Mental Hospital. This descriptive qualitative study was conducted through group therapy activities with structured stages, using media such as emotion expression picture cards and a spin-the-bottle game as interaction stimuli. The population consisted of 18 patient in the Anggrek ward, with a sample of 12 patients who were cooperative, psychologically stable, able to communicate bidirectionally, and willing to participate in group therapy. The results showed that participants experienced an improvement in their ability to express emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and anxiety more openly, accompanied by increased social interaction and reduced emotional tension. The therapy also encouraged greater self-confidence and a sense of emotional relief. These findings support that expressive feelings therapy can be incorporated as part of routine nursing interventions for patients who experience difficulties in emotional regulation. It is recommended that further research be conducted over a longer duration and with a broader scope to strengthen the validity of the findings.

Savings and Loan Cooperatives (KSP) play a vital role in expanding community access to capital, especially within the informal sector. Nevertheless, non-performing loans remain a persistent challenge that can threaten liquidity and long-term institutional sustainability. KSP CU Mera Ndi Ate faces similar issues, which are assumed to stem not only from administrative weaknesses but also from members’ perceptions and behavioral factors. This research aims to examine the potential causes of non-performing loans through text-based sentiment analysis using an unsupervised learning approach. A quantitative method with a data mining framework was applied. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, documentation, and 200 customer opinion texts processed using the Orange Data Mining application. The analytical stages included preprocessing, corpus development, feature extraction, sentiment clustering, and visualization. Because the dataset lacked predefined labels, unsupervised learning was used to identify naturally emerging sentiment patterns. Findings reveal a predominance of critical sentiments related to credit assessment procedures and service quality. The highest sentiment score (75) concerned insufficient creditworthiness evaluation, followed by concerns about service efficiency (66.6667). These insights suggest that improving assessment accuracy and service quality may help reduce non-performing loans.

Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) are critical to the Indonesian economy because they provide jobs and boost the local economy. However, MSMEs continue to disregard the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). With assistance from the Lampung Provincial Leadership Council (DPP) of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO), this study aims to investigate the factors influencing the use of SAK EMKM in MSMEs. SAK EMKM socialization, business size, length of operation, and educational background are among the factors analyzed. Survey-based quantitative approach is used in this study. 107 MSMEs received questionnaires from APINDO DPP Lampung in order to gather primary data. Multiple linear regression analysis, validity tests, reliability tests, and traditional assumption tests were performed on the data using SPSS software. Partial tests (t-tests) and coefficients of determination were used to test hypotheses. The study's findings show that SAK EMKM use in MSMEs supported by APINDO DPP Lampung is influenced by educational background, length of operation, and socialization. Meanwhile, SAK EMKM's use is mostly unaffected by the size of the company. This finding implies that the adoption of SAK EMKM is more influenced by the socialization, business experience, and skill levels of MSME members than by the size of the firm. It is anticipated that this study would help academics and MSME participants use SAK EMKM more effectively in order to achieve sustainable MSME financial management.

The formulated leadership model is holistic-integrative, encompassing spiritual, intellectual, social, and managerial dimensions with a fluid leadership approach adaptive to dynamic contexts. This model can help church leaders transform congregations from apathetic to motivated and actively participating in church restoration.

This study explores how Eric Carle’s children’s storybook The Very Hungry Caterpillar creates depth in its narrative through visual components and tactile elements despite its limited text. Using a multimodal analysis approach, this study highlights the texture of the collage, the use of symbolic colors, and the die-cut holes as elements that can be felt. The results of this study show that the physical design of this book is not merely decorative, but functions as a key narrative guide that helps children understand the concepts of growth and change independently. The die-cut holes have a specific role as a physical symbol of hunger, allowing young readers to interact directly with the story. The combination of the book’s materials and visual storytelling has proven to transcend language barriers, making it an effective literacy tool for beginner readers. This research confirms that visual storytelling intertwined with the physical form of a book can convey complex philosophical themes more effectively than narratives composed solely of dense text. The success of this book confirms that tactile and visual elements are important literary tools in the world of children’s literature.

Youth radicalization is a serious issue that threatens social harmony, national stability, and the sustainability of nationhood in Indonesia. Various reports indicate that nearly one-third of terrorism perpetrators over the past decade have come from young people, signaling ideological vulnerability among the productive age group. This article aims to propose a youth deradicalization approach through contemporary Islamic thought, emphasizing rationality, openness of thinking, and humanism as its main foundations. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach by analyzing the works, ideas, and thoughts of contemporary Islamic scholars and examining their relevance in the context of youth development and empowerment. The findings show that contemporary Islamic approaches that emphasize critical reasoning, dialogue, and respect for humanity are effective in shaping moderate attitudes, fostering social awareness, and strengthening an inclusive and tolerant Islamic identity. Therefore, this article recommends that religious education be integrated into curricula that emphasize the values of religious moderation, respect for diversity, and the rejection of violence. This approach is expected to help young people become more tolerant, adaptive, and resilient against the influence of extremist ideologies that are harmful to society.

The prevalence of diabetic ulcers in Indonesia reaches 12-15% of all sufferers. This condition has an impact on the patient's psychological condition in the form of anxiety due to wounds that are difficult to heal, changes in body image, and concerns about the possibility of amputation. One of the nonpharmacological interventions that can help overcome anxiety is the slow deep breathing technique. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to carry out Nursing Care for Mrs. M with Diagnosis of Diabetic Ulcers using the application of slow deep breathing intervention in reducing anxiety at Az-Zahra Hospital. The writing method is a nursing care process that includes the stages of study, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The subject of care was Mrs. M, a patient with diabetic ulcers in the inpatient room of Az-Zahra Hospital. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, documentation studies, and physical examinations, and using a medical-surgical nursing care assessment format. The ethical principles applied use the principles of Nursing Ethics. The results of nursing care showed that after three days of slow deep breathing intervention, patients reported feeling calmer, sleeping better, and anxiety levels decreased from moderate to mild based on observation results and anxiety scales used. This suggests that slow deep breathing interventions are effective in helping to reduce anxiety in patients with diabetic ulcers. It is hoped that patients and families can continue these breathing exercises independently as part of stress management efforts and quality of life improvement.  

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, e-money use, and lifestyle on the financial behavior of accounting students in the context of a cashless society.
