Tobacco use remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia. Adolescents are considered capable of making their own decisions, including the choice to smoke. According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) 2021, the smoking prevalence in Indonesia is 33.5%, equivalent to 68.8 million people. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing smoking behavior among adolescents. The results of this study emphasize the importance of greater attention and action to smoking prevention efforts among adolescents, especially among males and those in the older age group. The interventions focused on health education and raising awareness of the dangers of smoking which need to be enhanced, as well as involving family and schools to create a supportive environment therefore the adolescents can make healthier decisions. Furthermore, these results can serve as a basis for the development of more effective policies to address the issue of smoking among adolescents in Indonesia. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 5,181 respondents were selected using simple random sampling, and data were collected using a questionnaire. The findings reveal that daily smoking behavior among adolescents is still relatively high, with 11.7% of respondents smoking every day. The majority of respondents were male (70.78%), with the largest age groups being 15 years (21.3%) and 14 years (20.6%). Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test indicated a significant relationship between smoking behavior and both age and gender, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These results suggest that male adolescents and older age groups are more likely to engage in smoking behavior than their counterparts.

This study analyzes the function of deixis in building emotional relationships between characters in the short film "Seutas Kenangan" using a sociopragmatic approach. Besides being a medium for communication, language also functions as a medium for expressing distance, closeness, and social relationships that impact the emotional relationships that occur. Therefore, this study aims to examine how various types of deixis play a role in building emotional relationships between characters. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data in the form of dialogues obtained through listening and note-taking techniques. This analysis was conducted by identifying the types of deixis, analyzing sociopragmatic aspects, and then interpreting the emotional relationships created. Based on the results of the study, there are deixis of person, time, place, social, and discourse that are related in representing emotional relationships. The emotional relationships found in this analysis include affection, longing, inner conflict, avoidance, and emotional stress due to prevailing social norms. The relationship between the function of deixis and the sociopragmatic approach shows that the function of deixis is not merely a referent indicator, but can also be a strategy for representing emotional relationships influenced by social and cultural conditions.

This study focuses on the historical dynamics of the Qur’anic revelation process to examine in greater depth the relationship between the gradual nature of the revelation process and the social conditions of Arab society, particularly during the Mecca and Medina periods. The method used in this study is library research, utilizing sources such as scientific journals, books, and articles relevant to the research topic. The findings indicate that revelation was received gradually over 23 years, in accordance with the development of Islamic da’wah and the social dynamics of the time. During the Mecca period, the revelations focused on the teachings of tawhid, creed, and ethics, as Arab society was still in a state of jahiliyyah. In the Medina period, the focus shifted to the rituals of worship and Islamic law as the Islamic community in Medina grew. Furthermore, some verses of the Qur’an were revealed in response to issues within society. This indicates a connection between revelation and the socio-historical context during the process of revelation. A deeper understanding of the process of revelation requires further study, and this research is expected to provide a more profound understanding of the Qur’anic revelation process through a historical approach.

This study analyzes how Abuela Alma Madrigal's behaviors toward her family in Disney's Encanto (2021) are influenced by Jungian archetypes. The psychological analysis of matriarchal characters in animated films has received little attention, despite the widespread usage of Jungian theory in film analysis. The aim of this study is to identify the Jungian archetypes that Abuela embodies and analyze how they influence her relationships with the Madrigal family. Data was gathered by repeatedly watching the movie using a qualitative, descriptive approach. Jung's archetypal theory (1959) served as the main framework for the analysis of a selection of dialogues that were transcribed and classified based on specific archetypes. The results show that Abuela's behavior is greatly influenced by five archetypes. She is motivated by the persona archetype to maintain a public persona of magical perfection, valuing each family member according to how they contribute to this image. The trauma of losing her husband Pedro is the source of the Shadow archetype, which takes the form of denial and blame projection until Mirabel confronts it. The Great Mother archetype illustrates how her parental love turned into conditional acceptance and overprotection. The Wise Old Woman archetype highlights the difference between her appearance of authority and the personal doubt she carries. Finally, the Self archetype signifies her psychological transformation as she completely accepts the value of each family member and integrates her suppressed fears, completing Jung's individuation process. These results validate that Jungian theory provides a useful framework for analyzing matriarchal characters in animated films and show how universal psychological patterns associated with trauma, authority, and family dynamics can be meaningfully reflected in modern animated films.

Background: Diffable children have a higher risk of developing caries compared to normal children. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence of caries in deaf children aged 12-18 years in Denpasar City. Method: This study design was cross-sectional analytic and the target population was deaf children in Denpasar City. The variables studied were sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, and behavior of maintaining oral health and caries prevalence. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and intra-oral examinations. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Result: The prevalence of caries in deaf children is 81.7%. There was a tendency for boys, age group 12-14 years, poor knowledge and poor behavior to experience dental caries. However, from the results of the analytical test, only gender showed a significant relationship with caries (boys had a risk of 1.3 times (CI95%=1.125-1.741) having caries compared to girls). Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries in deaf children is quite high, especially boys are more at risk than girls. Efforts are needed to increase knowledge and monitor the oral health behaviour of deaf children, especially boys, and to promote early detection of dental caries with support of parents, teachers, health services and the health office.

This study aims to analyze the digital communication strategy implemented by the Jakarta Communication, Informatics, and Statistics Office (Diskominfotik) in the dissemination of public information through the @katakotajakarta Instagram account. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and literature studies. The results of the study show that there is a shift in communication patterns from one direction to a more interactive two-way, characterized by the use of visual content, the use of casual language, and systematic content planning. The use of the Reels feature has proven to be effective in increasing audience reach, especially from non-followers. However, the challenges faced include fluctuations in engagement and the risk of information overload that can reduce the effectiveness of communication. This study concludes that adaptive and data-based digital communication strategies are able to increase the effectiveness of public communication and strengthen the relationship between the government and the community. These findings provide practical implications for the management of public communication in the digital era, especially in utilizing social media as an interactive means that support transparency and public participation.

This study aims to analyze the effect of product bundling strategies, countdown timer urgency, and social proof on the interactive responses of Generation Alpha consumers toward Scora skincare products in Bandar Lampung, with live streaming as a moderating variable. Interactive responses in this study include comments, questions, likes, and purchase actions during live streaming sessions. This research employs a quantitative approach, with data collected through ques-tionnaires. The sample consists of 300 Generation Alpha respondents in Bandar Lampung who have watched Scora’s live streaming promotions. Data analysis techniques include multiple linear regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that product bundling strategies, countdown timer urgency, and social proof have a positive and significant effect on interactive responses, both partially and simultaneously. However, the moderation test results reveal that live streaming does not moderate the relationship between product bundling strategies, countdown timer urgency, and social proof on interactive responses. These findings suggest that although live streaming serves as a primary promotional medium, it does not necessarily strengthen the influence of marketing strategies on Generation Alpha’s in-teractive responses. This study is expected to provide practical insights for local skincare brands in developing more effective digital marketing strategies through live streaming commerce.

Online games are one of the digital entertainment activities widely favored by adolescents; however, high-intensity use can lead to psychological impacts, one of which is anxiety. Anxiety in adolescents is characterized by feelings of restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances, especially when they are unable to play online games or when they experience defeat in the game. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the intensity of online game use and the level of anxiety among adolescents. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 113 respondents selected using a cluster sampling technique. The research instruments used were the DASS questionnaire and an online game usage intensity questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The respondents in this study were adolescents from SMAN 1 Wanadadi, most of whom were 16 years old (49.6%) and predominantly female (61.9%). The intensity of online game use was mostly in the moderate category (55.8%), while the level of anxiety was mostly in the mild category (89.0%). The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of online game usage intensity and a mild level of anxiety. Bivariate analysis indicated that there was no significant relationship between the intensity of online game use and the level of anxiety among adolescents, with a p-value of 0.425 and a contingency coefficient value of 0.076. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between the intensity of online game use and the level of anxiety among adolescents.

The research instruments used were a closed-ended questionnaire to measure the PJOK learning implementation variable and report card documentation to measure students’ learning outcomes. Data analysis was conducted using statistical techniques to identify the relationship between variables. The results of this study are expected to provide an empirical overview of the extent to which PJOK learning contributes to improving students’ overall learning outcomes, including cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Furthermore, this study is expected to serve as a reference for improving the quality of PJOK learning in schools.

This study discusses the application of the fiduciary duty doctrine in Indonesian corporate law and its relationship to the legal liability of the President Director in Decision Number 80/Pid.Sus-TPK/2024/PN.Jkt.Pst in the case of PT Timah Tbk. This study uses a normative juridicial method with a statutory regulatory approach and a case approach, namely by examining law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies and relevant court decisions. The results of the study indicate that fiduciary duty is a basic obligation that must be carried out by directors in managing the company, which includes good faith, prudence, and loyalty to the interest of the company. However, in the case of PT Timah Tbk, the former President Direktor was proven not to have carried out these obligations properly. This is seen from the abuse of office, involvement in illegal mining practices, and the formation of shell companies that ultimately resulted in state losses. Violations of these principles not only have an impact on civil aspects, but also have criminal consequences. Therefore, strengthening the principles of fiduciary duty and Good Corporate Governance is very necessary to increase the accountability of directors.

The research employs a qualitative approach using library research and thematic analysis of relevant Qur’anic verses, combined with a descriptive-analytical method for data interpretation. The findings indicate that rahmah encompasses spiritual, psychological, and social dimensions that play a vital role in strengthening inner resilience, emotional balance, and a positive perspective toward life’s trials. The novelty of this study lies in linking rahmah as a manifestation of divine compassion with the enhancement of the Adversity Quotient within the framework of Islamic psychology. Practically, a deep understanding of rahmah can serve as a foundation for moral education, Islamic counseling, and spiritual development oriented toward resilience and human dignity.

This study aims to examine the role of management psychology in improving work motivation in organizations through a literature study approach. Data were obtained from various scientific sources relevant to the topics of management psychology, work motivation, and organizations. The results of the study indicate that management psychology plays a significant role in understanding individual and group behavior in the workplace through psychological aspects such as needs, attitudes, emotions, and personality. Work motivation is a key factor influencing employee performance, which is influenced by both internal and external factors, including rewards, work relationships, environmental conditions, and opportunities for self-development. Various motivational theories such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Alderfer's ERG, Mcclelland's Needs, And Vroom's expectancy theory provide a foundation for understanding the dynamics of work motivation. In addition, the implementation of the performance management cycle, which includes planning, monitoring, evaluation, and rewarding, has proven effective in improving employee morale.

This study aims to analyze the impact of middlemen on the price of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) of oil palm received by farmers in Lambur I Village, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, from a sharia economic perspective. This study also examines the FFB marketing patterns carried out by farmers and the factors that influence farmers in choosing where to sell their harvest. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study research type. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation to understand FFB marketing practices and the socio-economic relationships between farmers and middlemen. The results show that FFB marketing in Lambur I Village is carried out through three main channels: middlemen, the Marketing Chain of Trust (RAM), and palm oil processing factories. Most farmers choose to sell FFB to middlemen because the transaction process is easier, payments are fast, and transportation costs are not required. In addition, urgent financial needs, limited transportation facilities, and long-standing socio-economic relationships also influence farmers' dependence on middlemen. In practice, middlemen play a dominant role in determining prices, deducting approximately Rp 250–Rp 300 per kilogram from the factory price. From a sharia economic perspective, marketing practices through middlemen are essentially permissible as long as they are carried out with mutual consent and do not contain elements of usury, gharar, or injustice. However, the dominance of middlemen in determining prices indicates a bargaining imbalance that could potentially harm farmers, thus not fully reflecting the principle of justice in sharia economics

Bullying is a common occurrence in schools and public settings, often affecting children. However, this issue often goes unnoticed because it is considered commonplace, despite the significant impact it can have on victims. This study aims to determine the impact of bullying on a child's personality and educational process. The impact of bullying on children who are victims of bullying is that victims experience physical and non-physical violence. These include frequent social isolation, a lack of close friends, poor relationships with parents, and declining mental health. The worst impact for children who are victims of bullying is depression and even suicide. This can lead to prolonged trauma for children who are victims of bullying. Furthermore, a child who is a victim of bullying will also experience learning and academic difficulties. One action that can be taken for a child who is a perpetrator or victim of bullying is to provide affection, trust, involve them in positive activities, and educate them about the negative impacts of bullying. Therefore, collaboration between schools, teachers, and parents is needed to address bullying against children.

Adolescent mental health is a crucial factor in supporting students’ academic success, social interactions, and personal development within the school environment. The various pressures faced by adolescents such as academic demands, developmental changes, and the influence of social and digital environments can increase the risk of mental health issues. Therefore, effective protective factors are needed, one of which is social support. This study aims to examine the relationship between social support and adolescent mental health in the school environment using a qualitative method with a literature review approach. Data were obtained from relevant, openly accessible national journals published between 2020 and 2025. Analysis was conducted using content analysis on 14 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study indicate that social support has a positive and significant relationship with adolescents’ mental health. Support from family, peers, and teachers has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels, as well as improve students’ psychological well-being, resilience, and coping abilities. Conversely, low levels of social support contribute to an increased risk of mental disorders among adolescents. Thus, social support serves as an important protective factor in maintaining and improving students’ mental health. The implications of this study underscore the importance of the involvement of families, schools, and the social environment in building a sustainable support system for adolescents.

This study aims to examine the effect of the use of the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) as part of digital payment instruments on the personal financial management of employees at PT. Alkana Diza Nusantara in the era of a cashless society. The rapid development of financial technology has encouraged a shift in transaction behavior from cash to cashless systems, making it important to understand its impact on individual financial management more comprehensively. This study employs a quantitative approach with a causal associative research design to analyze the relationship between variables. The population consists of 42 employees, with total sampling used as the sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis techniques include classical assumption tests, simple linear regression analysis, t-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²) to measure the extent of the independent variable’s influence on the dependent variable. The results show that the use of QRIS has a positive and significant effect on personal financial management. This is evidenced by a regression coefficient of 0.923 and a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.735 indicates that QRIS usage explains 73.5% of the variation in personal financial management, while the remaining 26.5% is influenced by other variables outside the scope of this study. These findings suggest that digital payment usage can enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and discipline of individual financial management

Technological advancements and the rapid growth of globalization have fundamentally changed the way organizations conduct business activities, creating increasingly complex challenges and opportunities in both local and international markets. Organizations are now required to adapt quickly to changing consumer preferences, technological innovation, market competition, and economic uncertainty. In this environment, economics, management, and accounting have become three essential disciplines that play a crucial role in determining organizational effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Economics helps organizations understand market behavior, pricing strategies, supply and demand conditions, and macroeconomic factors that influence business performance. Management focuses on planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources to ensure operational efficiency and goal achievement. Accounting provides reliable financial information through systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of transactions, enabling organizations to evaluate performance and maintain accountability. This study aims to analyze the relationship between these three disciplines in supporting organizational decision-making processes and improving overall performance. The research employs a literature review method by examining various recent academic books and journal articles. The findings reveal that the integration of economics, management, and accounting strengthens strategic planning, improves resource allocation, enhances financial transparency, and supports sustainable organizational growth in a highly competitive global environment.

This study aims to determine the relationship between body shaming and students’ self-confidence at SMPN 22 Kota Jambi. This research used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population consisted of 508 students, with a sample of 224 students selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability.
