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.

This study aims to analyze the collective kiai leadership policies in enhancing the quality of madrasah education at Bahrul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Tambakberas, Jombang. Using a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, the study collects data through in-depth interviews, structured observation, and documentation. The data analysis process involves three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals that the formulation of collective leadership policies is based on the need to achieve religious goals, legal foundations, and community needs. These policies are oriented toward problem-solving and continuity, formulated through deliberation and consensus involving all kiai leaders of both formal and non-formal educational institutions within the pesantren. The implementation of these policies emphasizes scholarly sanad and intellectual tradition across all educational institutions. Key aspects include educational administration, human resource development, strengthening formal education based on national accreditation standards, providing entrepreneurship education, and participating in faith-based as well as science and technology competitions at national and international levels. The evaluation of these policies is carried out collectively by all caretakers and leaders in alignment with established policies to ensure quality improvement across the pesantren’s formal and non-formal educational institutions.

This study was motivated by the low levels of student motivation and cognitive learning outcomes in the Islamic Education (PAI) subject at SMK Pasundan 1 and SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. The phenomenon was identified through preliminary observations showing that 45% of students scored below the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) and demonstrated low engagement during the learning process. The school’s efforts to improve student motivation and learning outcomes have not been optimal, as teaching methods and media are still largely limited to conventional approaches. Therefore, innovation in learning through the use of technology-based interactive multimedia such as Google Classroom, YouTube, and Quizizz is needed to create more engaging and effective learning experiences. The objectives of this study were to identify: (1) the implementation of Google Classroom, YouTube, and Quizizz multimedia in PAI learning; (2) students’ learning motivation; (3) students’ cognitive learning outcomes; (4) the influence of multimedia implementation on students’ learning motivation; (5) the influence of multimedia implementation on students’ cognitive learning outcomes; and (6-8) the qualitative findings that expand and deepen the quantitative results regarding multimedia implementation, learning motivation, and cognitive learning outcomes at SMK Pasundan 1 and SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. This research employed a Mixed Methods approach using a sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods in sequence. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and document analysis.

Limited access to adequate housing remains a major challenge for low-income households in Indonesia, including in Banyumas Regency. The subsidized housing program has been implemented as a public policy instrument to improve housing affordability while enhancing social and economic welfare. This study aims to analyze the role of subsidized housing in improving housing access and the economic conditions of low-income communities in Banyumas Regency. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a documentation study method by collecting and analyzing policy documents, official government reports, scholarly journal articles, and relevant publications related to subsidized housing and the socio-economic conditions of low-income households. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis to interpret the role of subsidized housing based on indicators of housing affordability and household economic impacts. The findings indicate that subsidized housing significantly reduces the housing cost burden of low-income households from levels exceeding the affordability threshold to a more economically manageable range. The reduction in housing expenditure contributes positively to household economic stability by allowing savings and reallocation of income toward productive needs such as education, healthcare, and financial security. However, the effectiveness of subsidized housing in improving economic outcomes is still influenced by location and accessibility of housing areas. This study concludes that subsidized housing plays a crucial role in expanding housing access and improving the economic conditions of low-income communities, while requiring integrated and sustainable policy support to maximize its long-term benefits.

This study aims to examine the effect of creative dance activities on the self-confidence of children aged 4–5 years at TK Pertiwi, Buluh Kasab Village. The background of this study is the low level of children’s self-confidence, which is reflected in passive behavior, reluctance to perform in front of the class, and a lack of courage to express themselves in front of others. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. Data were collected through structured observation, while data analysis was conducted by calculating pretest and posttest scores, which were then analyzed using a paired sample t-test and effect size calculation to determine the strength of the treatment effect. The creative dance activities were implemented over six sessions by integrating elements of music, movement, and expression using two children’s songs, namely “Percaya Diri” by Abita and “Aku Bisa” by AFI Junior. The results indicated a significant improvement in children’s self-confidence, as shown by an increase in the mean score from 15.08 in the pretest to 32.75 in the posttest. The t-test results revealed a t-value of −31.006 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05). An effect size value of 6.43 indicated a very strong effect. Therefore, creative dance activities have a significant impact on enhancing early childhood self-confidence and are recommended as an effective learning strategy.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a promotive and preventive effort aimed at improving the level of public health. The Baduy indigenous community in Leuwi Damar, Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Banten Province has local wisdom and traditional lifestyles that influence daily health practices. However, limited access to information and health services is a challenge in implementing PHBS optimally. This article aims to describe the implementation of PHBS education in the Baduy Leuwi Damar community and its impact on community knowledge and attitudes. The method used is a descriptive approach with educational activities through counseling, discussion and simple demonstrations adapted to local culture. Educational material includes personal hygiene, clean water management, environmental sanitation, and healthy living behavior in daily life. The results of the activity showed an increase in public understanding regarding the importance of personal and environmental hygiene, as well as the emergence of a positive attitude towards implementing PHBS without eliminating the traditional values adhered to. PHBS education carried out using a simple cultural and communication approach is considered effective in increasing the health awareness of the Baduy community. Therefore, health education programs based on local wisdom need to continue to be developed as a strategy to improve the health of indigenous communities. .(Riset Kesehatan Dasar,2019).

This research aims to design and develop a decision support system to determine the recipients of assistance in the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Pogo Tena Village. This system uses the (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method which aims to assist decision-makers in selecting families who meet the criteria to receive social assistance based on several predetermined factors, such as income level, number of family dependents, health conditions, and education. The method used in this study is a qualitative and quantitative method with a case study approach on PKH Pogo Tena Village. Data was obtained through interviews with related parties, field observations, and data collection from existing documents. In this system, the assessment is carried out by comparing alternative performance values based on pre-established criteria, and then using the TOPSIS method to determine the families who are eligible for assistance. The results of this study show that the designed decision support system can provide more objective and transparent recommendations for aid recipients. Using the TOPSIS method, the system can prioritize beneficiaries based on their proximity to the ideal solution, which helps minimize subjective errors in the beneficiary selection process. This research is expected to contribute to increasing the effectiveness and efficiency in the implementation of the Family Hope Program in Pogo Tena Village, as well as as a reference for other agencies that want to apply similar methods in social assistance programs.

The rapid growth of internet access and digital device usage in Indonesia has made gadgets an inseparable part of students’ daily lives. While smartphones facilitate communication and access to information, excessive use—particularly before bedtime—has been associated with poor sleep quality. This quantitative correlational study aimed to identify the relationship between gadget use before sleep and sleep quality among students of SMK Yapim Sibiru-biru. A total of 110 students were selected purposively and asked to complete a structured questionnaire measuring gadget use duration, activity type, use of “Night Mode,” and various aspects of sleep quality. Data were analyzed using descriptive and Pearson correlation tests at a 0.05 significance level. Results showed that 87.5% of students used gadgets before sleep, with smartphones being the most common device. The majority (46.88%) reported using gadgets for 1–2 hours before bed, primarily for social media and entertainment. Most respondents slept between 10:00 p.m. and midnight, with an average sleep duration of 4–6 hours, lower than the recommended 7–9 hours. Statistical analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between gadget use duration and sleep quality—longer use was associated with poorer sleep. Additionally, low awareness of blue light filtering features exacerbated sleep problems such as insomnia and fatigue. These findings highlight the importance of behavioral interventions and sleep hygiene education to mitigate the adverse effects of nighttime gadget use. Recommended strategies include limiting screen time one hour before sleep, enabling “Night Mode,” and engaging in relaxing pre-sleep activities to promote better sleep quality and overall well-being

This study examines the effectiveness of problem-solving skills in enhancing decision-making processes among teachers at State Junior High Schools in Jambi Province. The research was motivated by the increasing demands placed on educators to make timely, accurate, and contextually appropriate decisions in academic, administrative, and student-related matters. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method, involving teachers from several public junior high schools across the province. Data were collected through validated questionnaires measuring levels of problem-solving competence and decision-making quality. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between problem-solving skills and decision-making effectiveness. Teachers with higher levels of analytical thinking, alternative evaluation, and solution implementation were found to make decisions more systematically, responsively, and with greater accuracy. Moreover, the findings reveal that problem-solving skills contribute not only to improving daily pedagogical decisions but also to enhancing school governance and conflict resolution. This research highlights the importance of continuous professional development programs aimed at strengthening teachers’ cognitive and strategic abilities. The study concludes that integrating structured problem-solving training into teacher development initiatives can substantially improve decision-making quality in junior high schools, ultimately supporting better educational outcomes in Jambi Province.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing prevalence in Indonesia. 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 examine the effect of students’ organizational involvement on public speaking skills among students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember. Public speaking skills are essential soft skills required by students in both academic and professional settings, particularly for those who actively engage in public and organizational activities. This research employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The independent variable in this study was students’ organizational activeness (X), while the dependent variable was public speaking skills (Y). The research sample consisted of 169 students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using a Likert scale, which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results showed that the organizational activeness instrument had a high level of reliability, while the public speaking skills instrument demonstrated a moderate level of reliability. Overall, students’ involvement in organizations plays an important role in developing public speaking skills through communication experiences, active participation, and increased self-confidence. This study is expected to serve as a reference for higher education institutions and student organizations in designing programs that support the development of students’ soft skills, particularly public speaking abilities.

This study critically examines the halal product certification process conducted by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) of South Sulawesi from the perspective of maslahah (public interest). The research is grounded in the urgent need to protect Muslim consumers, particularly in light of the growing consumption of both local and imported products that often lack clear halal status. While numerous studies have explored halal certification at the national level, there remains a significant gap in examining the regional dynamics and implementation of MUI fatwas, especially in South Sulawesi. This study aims to analyze the approaches employed by MUI South Sulawesi in determining halal certification and assess the extent to which maslahah serves as the guiding principle in their process. The research adopts a field research methodology with a descriptive qualitative approach and uses ushuliyyah (Islamic legal methodology) as its analytical framework. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that MUI South Sulawesi consistently upholds the principles of Islamic law in the halal certification process, emphasizing critical ingredients, production processes, and the cleanliness of facilities. Although the use of additives such as coloring and preservatives is permitted, it is contingent upon their halal status and freedom from impurities (najis). This approach reflects a moderate application of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, demonstrating adaptability to industrial developments while maintaining a cautious and principled stance. The study underscores the importance of transparency and education for business actors, and recommends further research focusing on post-certification supervision or comparative studies across regions. These findings offer valuable contributions to strengthening Indonesia’s halal assurance system based on the principles of public welfare.

This study examines the influence of the MUI Fatwa Number 83 of 2023 concerning the Legal Ruling on Supporting the Palestinian Struggle on the purchasing interest in Israeli products among the Muslim community in Makassar City, from the perspective of Islamic economic law. The main issue addressed is the low level of public awareness and understanding of the fatwa, amid challenges in identifying products affiliated with Israel and the dominance of global consumer culture. Using a quantitative method within the framework of Islamic economic law, this research involved 156 respondents selected through purposive sampling and analyzed using a Likert scale questionnaire, validation and reliability tests, and regression techniques. The findings indicate that the MUI Fatwa Number 83 of 2023 has a positive and significant effect on purchasing interest (p = 0.000); however, the positive direction of the effect reveals a contradiction between the substance of the fatwa which calls for a boycott and the community’s consumption behavior, which continues to maintain an interest in Israeli-affiliated products. This condition reflects a weak awareness of Islamic economic law among the Muslim community in Makassar City. These findings underscore the need to strengthen education, socialization, and the provision of Sharia-compliant product alternatives to enhance the fatwa’s implementation. Thus, the study concludes that the effectiveness of the fatwa in influencing consumer behavior remains suboptimal and requires ongoing strategic support so that the principles of maslahah, hisbah, and Islamic consumption ethics can be realized in community economic practices.

Trust among educators constitutes a critical social capital that underpins organizational effectiveness in higher education institutions. This study investigates the impact of trust erosion among educators on the decline in the achievement of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs/IKU) in higher education. The central problem addressed in this research is the weakening of academic collaboration, reduced engagement in the tridharma of higher education, and the emergence of latent conflicts that negatively affect KPI achievement, particularly in lecturer performance, research collaboration, and the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of trust among educators and institutional KPI performance, as well as to identify the organizational and social mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. A mixed-methods explanatory design was employed, combining quantitative survey data with in-depth interviews and institutional performance document analysis. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between trust erosion and KPI achievement. The study concludes that strengthening organizational trust is a strategic prerequisite for sustaining and improving higher education performance.

This study aims to: (1) describe the implementation of local wisdom–based learning in the teaching process of Grade VII B at UPT SMP Negeri 4 Kelara Jeneponto; (2) determine the improvement of students’ social awareness after the implementation of local wisdom–based learning; and (3) identify the enhancement of students’ learning culture through the application of this learning model. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 25 seventh-grade students, focusing on two main variables: social awareness and learning culture. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that the integration of Jeneponto cultural values Tabe’ Karaeng, Sipakatau, Sipakalabbiri, Sipakainga, Siri’ na Pacce, Akbulo Sibatang, and empo sipitangari was implemented effectively and became more optimal in Cycle II after improvements were made through Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and the use of more contextual local cases. Students’ social awareness increased from an average of 63.13% in Cycle I (categorized as Fair) to 80.42% in Cycle II (categorized as High). Similarly, students’ learning culture improved from 69.69% (Fair) in Cycle I to 82.66% (High) in Cycle II, meeting the classical mastery criteria. The study concludes that integrating local wisdom into classroom instruction not only strengthens students’ understanding of social studies content but is also effective in shaping their social character and learning habits. This model is recommended for development in other subjects and educational levels.

The waste problem is still an environmental issue that requires serious attention, especially regarding the low level of public awareness in sorting organic and inorganic waste at its source. Environmental education needs to be given from an early age to form attitudes and behavior that care for the environment in a sustainable manner. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding and awareness of grade III–IV elementary school children towards sorting organic and inorganic waste through a game-based learning approach. The activity was carried out in the Bojongsari area, Depok, involving 10 children as participants. The methods used include delivering interactive material, waste sorting competitions through the Eco-Race Little game, and making mini posters with environmental themes. The results of the activity showed that around 90% of participants were able to differentiate and sort organic and inorganic waste correctly. Apart from increasing cognitive understanding, this activity also fosters an attitude of cooperation, creativity and concern for the environment. Thus, the Little Eco-Race activity is considered effective as a fun and applicable environmental education model for elementary school age children.

Low levels of political literacy and political participation awareness among female university students remain a challenge for strengthening democracy at the local level. This condition is also found among female students in East Lombok, who tend to perceive political participation narrowly and lack the skills and confidence to engage actively as citizens. This community service program aims to enhance political literacy, participatory awareness, and the capacity of female students to understand and practice political participation in a critical and responsible manner. The program was implemented at the Institut Teknologi Sosial dan Kesehatan Muhammadiyah Selong using a community organizing approach integrated into the academic learning process. The methods included participatory discussions, mentoring, simulations, and critical reflection, positioning female students as active subjects throughout the activities. The results indicate an improvement in participants’ understanding of the meaning and forms of political participation, increased confidence in expressing opinions, and the emergence of new awareness regarding their roles as democratic citizens. In addition, a female student discussion group was formed as a space for collective learning and an early platform for local leadership. This program highlights the role of higher education institutions in promoting social transformation and strengthening women’s political participation at the local level.

This research aims to analyze the implementation of the Protection and Rehabilitation Service Program for Juvenile Delinquents in Surabaya City, conducted by the Social Service of East Java Province. Juvenile delinquency remains a significant social problem requiring comprehensive intervention through protection and rehabilitation approaches rather than punitive measures. Drawing on George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory, this study examines four critical factors: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This qualitative research employs a descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation at the Social Service of East Java Province during June-August 2025. Informants include program managers, social workers, psychologists, beneficiaries of the juvenile delinquency program, and their families. The results indicate that the program has successfully served 1,247 juvenile delinquents through integrated services, including psychological counseling, skills training, family therapy, and social reintegration support. The communication dimension shows effective coordination between provincial and city-level agencies, though information dissemination to communities needs improvement. Resource adequacy is generally sufficient with 35 certified social workers, adequate facilities, and an annual budget of Rp 3.2 billion. The disposition of implementers demonstrates a strong commitment to child-centered approaches. Clear SOPs and inter-agency collaboration protocols support the bureaucratic structure. The program achieves 72% successful rehabilitation rate with 68% of beneficiaries returning to formal education or productive activities. Challenges remain in stigma reduction, family involvement, and post-rehabilitation monitoring. This study recommends strengthening community-based prevention, expanding vocational training options, developing peer support networks, and establishing sustainable aftercare mechanisms.

The quality of educational human resources (HR) is a key factor in determining the quality and success of educational implementation in schools. However, many schools still face problems of low performance, motivation, and professionalism among teachers and educational staff due to leadership that is not responsive to the diversity of conditions and human resource needs. This study aims to examine situational leadership as a strategy employed by school principals to improve the quality of educational human resources. The study adopts a literature review approach with qualitative content analysis of books, scholarly journal articles, and relevant previous research. The findings indicate that situational leadership enables school principals to adjust leadership styles directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating according to the levels of readiness, competence, and motivation of teachers and educational staff. Adaptive and participative leadership contributes positively to improved performance, work commitment, professionalism, and the creation of a conducive organizational climate and school culture. Therefore, situational leadership can be used as a strategic approach in planning, implementing, and evaluating sustainable educational quality improvement programs.

Early childhood growth and development detection is an important process to identify potential physical, cognitive, emotional, and social developmental disorders in children before the age of six, which can help prevent long-term health and educational problems. Developmental screening is an initial assessment activity conducted to determine a child’s level of development according to their age. This screening aims to detect early whether a child’s development is within normal limits or if there is a possibility of developmental delay. This study aims to examine the developmental screening of children aged 5–6 years at RA Bunayya II. The research method used is qualitative research. Data were collected through observation and interviews. The results of the study indicate that all children are in the category of Developing as Expected. This is shown by the predominance of “Yes” responses on the indicators of the Pre-Developmental Screening Questionnaire (KPSP), which include aspects of speech and language, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, as well as social-emotional development and independence.
