The research implications emphasise the importance of strengthening digital capabilities and business innovation to enhance the global competitiveness of Indonesian health-related SMEs

Irregular sleep patterns are a common issue experienced by university students and are often considered a normal part of academic life. However, such conditions can have negative effects on students’ learning concentration and cognitive function. Poor sleep patterns are generally influenced by various factors, including high academic workload, habitual late-night activities, poor time management, and excessive use of electronic devices at night. This study aims to examine the relationship between sleep patterns and students’ learning concentration, identify factors contributing to irregular sleep patterns, and analyze constraints as well as propose solutions to improve sleep quality in order to enhance learning concentration. The method used in this scientific paper is a literature review, which involves examining relevant scientific sources such as research journals and academic literature related to sleep patterns and students’ learning concentration. The results of the review indicate that students with poor sleep patterns tend to experience physical fatigue, decreased immune function, cognitive impairment, and difficulties in maintaining focus and concentration during the learning process. In the long term, these conditions have the potential to reduce academic achievement and learning motivation. Therefore, it can be concluded that effective time management, limiting the use of electronic devices before bedtime, creating a conducive sleep environment, and support from universities through health education play an important role in improving students’ sleep patterns. With regular and high-quality sleep, students’ learning concentration is expected to improve, allowing the learning process and academic achievement to proceed optimally.

Language is an important part of human life. Through language, humans can communicate with each other. In addition, language is used to convey ideas, thoughts, opinions, feelings, and thoughts to others. Language also serves as a tool for self-development and interaction with others. A language must have clear meaning so that when communication occurs, there is no misunderstanding in its delivery. Currently, there are several variations of language styles used in society. The existence of these variations is triggered by the rapid development of communication technology. This development has led to different language styles being used by each generation. Each generation has its own used by each generation. Each generation has its own distinctive language style. The use of proper and correct Indonesian is currently shifting and being replaced by slang, so that many people are now accustomed to using slang. This research employs a descriptive analysis and literature review method to examine this linguistic shift. The findings indicate that the high intensity of social media usage accelerates the spread of slang, which potentially diminishes teenagers' formal language skills. Consequently, effective strategies are needed to balance the use of slang as a social dynamic while preserving the Indonesian language as a vital national identity.

The study of power in higher education institutions is important because power dynamics influence not only formal organizational systems but also informal relationships within academic communities. This research aims to analyze patterns of power manifestation in higher education institutions, understand their influence on organizational behavior, and identify the structural and cultural aspects involved in the process. The method applied in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), conducted through collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing various relevant literature related to power and governance in higher education. The findings indicate that pro-social manifestations of power and structural empowerment can positively contribute to job satisfaction and create a healthier and more conducive academic climate. On the other hand, centralized authority and unequal power relations may generate various negative impacts on organizations, such as reduced participation and institutional effectiveness. Therefore, higher education institutions need to implement a more participatory and adaptive governance model to minimize the negative effects of power asymmetry while strengthening collaboration, inclusiveness, and the overall quality of the academic environment.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between caffeine consumption and sleep duration on VO₂Max levels among soccer school (SSB) students in Surabaya. VO₂Max is a key indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness and athletic performance. This research employed a quantitative cross-sectional design with an analytical observational approach. A total of 162 SSB students were included as research participants from several soccer schools in Surabaya. Data were collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to assess caffeine intake and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep duration, and were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results revealed a significant relationship between caffeine consumption and sleep duration with VO₂Max (p<0.001). Students with higher caffeine consumption (≥3.5) and adequate sleep duration (≥7 hours) tended to have better VO₂Max values compared to those with lower caffeine intake and insufficient sleep. These findings indicate that appropriate caffeine consumption and adequate sleep duration play an important role in improving cardiorespiratory fitness. Therefore, proper education on healthy lifestyle habits is essential to optimize the performance of young athletes.

This study focuses on the elements of gharar (uncertainty), tadlis (fraud), and breach of contract in examining multiple transactions of a single land object from the standpoint of Islamic economic law. The rising frequency of disagreements over land purchases and sales brought on by the same seller engaging in overlapping transactions, unclear ownership status, and a lack of transparency has prompted this research. This study aims to investigate the effects of these activities on Indonesian positive law and Islamic economic law. This case study employed an empirical legal approach and was carried out in Grogol Village, Tulangan District, Sidoarjo Regency. Data was gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation by the buyer, seller, and local authorities. The findings indicate that due to unclear land boundaries and ownership status, the transaction contained significant elements of gharar and tadlis because the seller concealed important information about the previous transaction. Furthermore, the seller's failure to fulfill obligations stipulated in the contract constitutes a breach of contract under positive law. This study demonstrates that these practices not only violate legal regulations but also contradict the principles of Islamic economic law such as justice, transparency, and good faith. According to this study, legal awareness, administrative accuracy, and institutional oversight are vital to prevent such issues in the future.

The rapid digital transformation in educational institutions demands an efficient student grade data processing system capable of handling workloads responsively. This study aims to analyze and compare the efficiency of sorting algorithms (Merge Sort and Quick Sort) and searching algorithms (Linear Search and Binary Search) on a web-based platform. The research method employed is laboratory experimental, testing algorithm performance across various data volume stratifications, ranging from 50 to 1000 entities, using the V8 JavaScript engine. Research findings indicate that Quick Sort possesses superior speed compared to Merge Sort due to its efficient in-place sorting architecture, which minimizes memory overhead and Garbage Collection activity. Furthermore, a performance anomaly was discovered where the Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler mechanism optimizes execution on large data volumes through a warm-up phase. In the searching aspect, Binary Search demonstrates superior O(log n) logarithmic stability compared to Linear Search, which risks causing interface freezing on massive data. The implication of this study is the critical importance of implementing data pre-sorting protocols to exploit logarithmic search speeds to ensure academic information system scalability. The integration of appropriate algorithms proves to be a crucial foundation in maintaining web application responsiveness amidst the ever-increasing escalation of educational data.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health problem in tropical countries, including Indonesia. The presence of Aedes aegypti larvae is an important indicator of dengue transmission risk and is influenced by environmental factors, particularly temperature and humidity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between temperature and humidity and the presence of mosquito larvae in Meteseh Village, Tembalang District, Semarang City. This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 100 households selected through quota sampling. Data were collected through direct observation and measurement of temperature and humidity using a thermo-hygrometer, then analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between temperature and the presence of mosquito larvae (p=0.000), while humidity was not significantly associated with larvae presence (p>0.05). Temperature was identified as a more influential environmental factor in supporting mosquito larvae existence than humidity in the study area. These findings highlight the importance of environmental-based vector control strategies, particularly through management of microhabitat temperature conditions, to support dengue prevention.

Food waste is a global issue that has a major impact on the economy, environment, and food security. The high rate of food waste is directly influenced by food waste behavior. Also, food waste behavior does not just appear, but it is supported by other factors such as food waste knowledge and food preferences. As an effort to prevent the increase in food waste, it is important to know the relationship between these two factors and the occurrence of food waste behavior. The method used is a literature review of open access scientific articles with English language used and published in the period 2015–2025 through the Google Scholar databases. The results of the review show that most studies found a significant relationship between food waste knowledge and food preferences with food waste behavior. However, some studies also showed inconsistent results. Although many studies support the relationship between food waste knowledge and food preferences with food waste behavior, the difference in results also indicates that there are still other factors that are strongly related to food waste behavior, so more comprehensive efforts are needed to reduce the occurrence of food waste behavior.

This study aims to examine the influence of inventory intensity, executive compensation, and sales growth on tax avoidance in non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This type of research is quantitative research using secondary data during the period 2020–2024. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, and the sample obtained consisted of 7 companies with 35 observation data points. Data processing was carried out using the E-Views 12 statistical program. Based on the results of this study, inventory intensity, executive compensation, and sales growth simultaneously affect tax avoidance. Partially, only executive compensation has an effect on tax avoidance, while inventory intensity and sales growth have no effect on tax avoidance. This study contributes to the development of accounting and taxation literature, particularly regarding the factors influencing corporate tax avoidance practices in the non-cyclical consumer sector. The findings indicate that executive compensation plays an important role in influencing managerial decisions related to tax avoidance, whereas inventory intensity and sales growth do not significantly determine tax avoidance practices individually. Therefore, companies are expected to improve governance and transparency in executive compensation policies to minimize opportunistic actions related to tax management. In addition, future researchers are encouraged to expand the research variables and increase the number of samples in order to obtain more comprehensive results regarding the determinants of tax avoidance.

This study aims to evaluate simple bookkeeping practices in traditional Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through a comparative study between Nasi Padang and Warung Madura MSMEs. The background of this study is based on the still low level of financial literacy of MSMEs, especially in terms of recording and managing business finances, which are often not done systematically. The methods used in this activity include direct observation, simple bookkeeping training, and evaluation of the implementation of financial recording. The results of the observation indicate that Nasi Padang MSMEs have not kept complete financial records and still mix personal finances with business finances. Meanwhile, Warung Madura MSMEs have kept simple bookkeeping and separated business finances from personal finances, but the records are not organized neatly and systematically. The implementation of simple bookkeeping training has a positive impact on improving business actors' understanding in recording cash inflows and outflows and preparing simple profit and loss reports. The evaluation results show an increase in the ability of MSMEs to manage business finances in a more structured manner. Thus, simple bookkeeping plays an important role in increasing financial transparency, assisting business decision-making, and supporting the sustainability of MSMEs. This study recommends ongoing mentoring so that simple bookkeeping practices can be consistently implemented by MSMEs.

Chronic kidney disease is one of the global health problems that requires long-term therapy, one of which is through hemodialysis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adherence to treatment and diet is a key factor in improving the quality of life for patients with chronic diseases. An appropriate diet plays an important role in controlling electrolyte levels, fluids, and toxic substances in the body. This study aims to describe the knowledge and dietary compliance of patients undergoing hemodialysis at Santa Elisabeth Hospital Medan in 2025.This research used a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 36 patients selected using purposive sampling techniques. The research instrument was a questionnaire developed based on dietary guidelines for hemodialysis patients according to WHO and the Indonesian Ministry of Health standards. The results showed that among the 36 hemodialysis patients, 15 respondents (41.7%) had a good level of knowledge, 14 respondents (38.9%) had a moderate level, and 7 respondents (19.4%) had a low level of knowledge. Regarding dietary compliance, 13 respondents (36.1%) were compliant, 18 respondents (50.0%) were moderately compliant, and 3 respondents (13.9%) were non-compliant. There was a tendency showing that higher knowledge levels were positively correlated with better dietary compliance, in line with WHO’s principle that health education is an essential intervention in managing chronic diseases. This study recommends strengthening ongoing educational programs by healthcare professionals, particularly in delivering accurate and easy-to-understand information about diet management for hemodialysis patients.
