This study is a descriptive qualitative study that aims to describe sexual education provided by parents at Taman Firdaus Christian Kindergarten, Balige, North Sumatra. Data were obtained through direct interviews with the Principal, teachers, and several parents. The results showed that teachers and parents at Taman Firdaus Christian Kindergarten had provided basic teaching about the physical differences between boys and girls. However, an explanation of the genitals and their names had not been given because it was considered inappropriate for the age of the children. The main focus of teaching was on norms of politeness and privacy, although a comprehensive understanding of sexuality had not been achieved. Understanding of boundaries and privacy was taught by emphasizing the importance of maintaining privacy, such as not showing genitals to the opposite sex and maintaining physical distance. However, there were challenges such as the limitations of school policies in separating boys' and girls' toilets. The use of appropriate language in sexual education has been carried out well, although consistency in the school environment and at home needs to be improved. Parental involvement in children's sexual education is considered important, but there are obstacles in the form of parental discomfort in discussing sexuality topics with their children at home. The descriptive approach in this qualitative study aims to describe in detail the events, phenomena, and social situations that are the focus of the study. Analysis is carried out by giving meaning, interpreting, and comparing the data obtained to gain a deep understanding of the subject being studied.

This study explores the implementation of dance learning and its impact on motor skill development in early childhood at RA Al-Ikhlasiyah 2 Medan. The research is grounded in the understanding that dance activities contribute significantly to children's gross and fine motor coordination, emotional expression, and self-confidence. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach through observations, interviews with teachers, and documentation of dance sessions. Findings revealed that dance learning was not conducted regularly, but rather situationally ahead of graduation events, with limited integration into daily curriculum. The instructional method mainly involved direct demonstration and repetitive practice, which limited children's opportunities for exploration and creative expression. However, most children responded positively, showing enthusiasm and progress in movement coordination and group participation. Teachers played a key role in motivating children, although time constraints and lack of curriculum support posed challenges. The study concludes that dance learning, when implemented as a structured and routine activity, holds great potential in supporting holistic child development. The research also suggests future efforts to design integrative thematic dance modules and teacher training for sustainable early childhood arts education.

Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing and multifaceted threats to national security across the globe, including in Indonesia. The consequences of climate change extend far beyond environmental degradation, posing significant risks to critical sectors such as food security, water resources, social cohesion, and the overall stability of national defense systems. Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events-such as floods, droughts, and storms-have direct and indirect impacts that undermine the resilience of communities and the functionality of state institutions.

This research examines the crucial role of the Holy Spirit in the spiritual growth and ministry of contemporary Christians, considering that many have not actively experienced His involvement, resulting in low spiritual quality. Its objective is to re-examine the Holy Spirit's influence for a clearer understanding. Employing a qualitative library research method with textual analysis of the Bible and theological literature (hermeneutics), this study finds that the Holy Spirit is a divine person actively guiding, transforming character, and serving as Creator, Reconciler, and Redeemer. The Pentecost event demonstrates initial empowerment. Spiritual gifts are an expression of His role, which, though debated, function to equip ministry, strengthen community, and facilitate evangelism. The Holy Spirit is also a source of character transformation and empowerment for mission. Baptism in the Holy Spirit becomes a moment of life change and sanctification. The implication is that a clear understanding and open attitude towards the Holy Spirit are essential for unity, church growth, and glorifying Christ.

Total cholesterol and HDL assessments are fundamental initial steps in evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease. The ratio between total cholesterol and HDL is considered a sensitive indicator in predicting atherosclerotic events. Screening activities were carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach in adult participants. The examination was carried out using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tool to assess total cholesterol and HDL levels from blood samples. Education was provided through leaflets containing information about lipid profiles and the importance of dietary changes. A total of 62 participants took part in this activity, with an age range of 23 to 76 years and the majority were female. Most participants had total cholesterol levels in the normal category, but almost all participants had HDL levels that were classified as low or very low. This lipid profile imbalance indicates a significant potential cardiovascular risk. The screening results underscore the need for continuous education on healthy dietary habits as a primary prevention strategy. Nutritional interventions emphasizing reduced intake of saturated fats, increased fiber consumption, and controlled sugar intake can help restore lipid balance and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and long-term cardiovascular complications.

Laboratories play a crucial role in ensuring patient safety, with approximately 80–90% of clinical diagnoses relying on laboratory test results. Despite their importance, laboratory errors are reported to occur in about 0.012% to 0.6% of all tests conducted. Patient safety is fundamentally a managerial responsibility that can be improved through the implementation of robust systems aimed at detecting and addressing quality deficiencies. A reactive approach to this involves incident reporting followed by root cause analysis, which helps uncover and rectify weaknesses in existing policies and procedures. Alternatively, a proactive strategy such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) focuses on evaluating the entire testing process, anticipating potential adverse events, and taking preventive measures before such issues arise. This method is particularly effective for prospective risk assessment in high-risk procedures, thereby minimizing the likelihood of errors within laboratories and other areas of patient care.

This study aims to examine the aspect of justice in the administration and settlement of bankrupt assets by the Curator, particularly concerning the repayment of receivables to creditors in the context of auction minutes issued by the KPKNL Samarinda. The research adopts a normative juridical method, legislation approach and conceptual approach, and is connected to a case study approach focusing on the auction process in the bankruptcy case of PT Karebet Mas Indonesia (in bankruptcy).

Such regulation is necessary to ensure justice and legal certainty for bankrupt debtors and creditors, particularly regarding the repayment of claims for concurrent creditors.
