The use of Paylater as a means to achieve a desired lifestyle, especially among the younger generation, is the highlight of this research. With a focus on psychological and financial impacts, this study combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate the complex interactions between demographic factors, motivations, and the consequences of using Paylater for prestige. Through data collection using questionnaires and interviews with samples covering various age groups, education levels, and income levels, the research results highlight interesting findings. The main motivation for using Paylater was revealed as a drive to achieve a prestigious image and keep up with emerging digital consumption trends. The psychological impact cannot be ignored either, with some respondents admitting to the financial stress associated with this habit. Data analysis shows that education level plays an important role in an individual's ability to manage Paylater debt. Respondents with a higher level of education tend to be more aware of risk and have better debt management strategies. The implications of the results of this research include challenges in financial literacy and psychological well-being in the digital era. A more targeted approach is needed to educate young people about the financial risks associated with using Paylater for prestige. Nonetheless, this study acknowledges limitations in the generalisability of the results and suggests further research to investigate alternative financial management strategies and the long-term impact of this phenomenon

Pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period can all be more hazardous for the health of the mother and fetus in high-risk pregnancies. By doing a thorough literature analysis, this study seeks to determine the contributing factors to high-risk pregnancies. Methods: A systematic review of the literature utilizing ten national journals from PubMed and ten foreign journals from Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria were observational and cohort research articles published between 2020 and 2024, as well as systematic reviews of research articles with their determinants found in databases like PubMed and Google Scholar. Maternal factors (age <20 or >35 years, history of chronic diseases, and maternal health condition), obstetric factors (pregnancy spacing too close, multiparity, or history of previous pregnancy complications), and socioeconomic factors (low education, limited access to health services, and poor economic status) are the factors that contribute to high-risk pregnancies, according to the analysis. Furthermore, bad lifestyle choices like drinking alcohol, smoking, and not eating enough food all play a big part. The study's findings emphasize the value of multifaceted initiatives that include education, better access to healthcare, and a comprehensive approach to policy in order to lower high pregnancy risk.

Rhinitis is one of the health conditions commonly found in the community, with a high prevalence both globally and in Indonesia. These disorders have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life, interfere with daily activities, and have the potential to lead to complications such as sinusitis and asthma.

This study discusses the phenomenon of increasing consumptive behavior among Muslim communities due to the influence of social media, technology, and e-commerce. This behavior is considered contrary to Islamic teachings that emphasize balance, simplicity, and social responsibility. Therefore, this research aims to formulate the concept of Islamic consumption that not only fulfills physical needs, but also considers spiritual values, ethics, and social justice. Using a qualitative approach through literature study, this research examines consumption principles in Islam such as halal-thayyib, maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, and ethical rationality as an alternative to conventional consumption that is materialistic. The results show that consumption in Islam is part of worship that includes spiritual, social, and environmental dimensions. Islamic consumption encourages frugal, selective, and responsible behavior, and strengthens social solidarity through zakat and alms. This research produces an integrated Islamic consumption framework that can serve as a guideline for Muslim consumers, policy makers, and da'wah institutions in building a more ethical, sustainable, and Islamic-compliant consumption lifestyle in the modern era.

The rising trend of halal lifestyle has significantly impacted various sectors, including tourism. Bandung has emerged as a promising halal tourism destination in Indonesia. This study investigates the influence of Islamic Attributes, Destination Image, and Tourist Experience on Tourist Satisfaction and Revisit Intention.

This research contributes to the literature by exploring these relationships within the halal tourism context in Greater Bandung, a topic that has received limited academic attention. Future studies are encouraged to examine other destinations or include additional variables to broaden understanding of Muslim tourist behavior in halal tourism.
