The study critically examines the Gospel of John as a theological text integrating the incarnate Logos and sacramental symbolism. Using a qualitative, library-based approach with historical-critical and hermeneutical analysis, it shows that John’s Gospel not only narrates Jesus’ life but constructs a symbolic, existential, and transformative theological reflection. The Logos shifts from a metaphysical principle to a personal reality in history through the incarnation, enabling a concrete encounter between God and humanity. Within this framework, symbols such as water and bread function as media of revelation guiding individuals toward a living, relational faith experience. Furthermore, sacramental symbolism in the Gospel of John is ontologically grounded in the incarnation of the Logos. Faith is thus understood not merely as intellectual assent but as participation in divine life that transforms human existence. The integration of Christological and sacramental dimensions indicates that faith is holistic, encompassing spiritual, material, and relational aspects. Thus, the Gospel of John presents a theological vision of faith as a concrete and dynamic existential encounter, relevant for contemporary theological reflection.

Sukabanjar Village is one of the villages striving to improve basic infrastructure quality, particularly in drainage construction and road repair. However, limited understanding among village officials and communities regarding standardized construction cost estimation methods, specifically the Unit Price Work Analysis (AHSP), has become an obstacle in preparing accurate and efficient Budget Plans (RAB). This community service program (PKM) aims to improve the understanding of village officials, village hall staff, and Sukabanjar Village community regarding AHSP-based construction cost estimation planning as the standard reference for construction work cost calculation in Indonesia. The program involved socialization and training for 20 participants, consisting of village officials (RW/RT), village hall staff, and general public, introducing the basic concepts of AHSP, RAB component elements, and simple simulations of drainage and road work cost calculations. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests. The results of the activity showed a very significant improvement in participants' understanding. The average pre-test score was 42, which then increased to 75 in the post-test, reflecting an increase of 33 points (78.6%). In conclusion, the AHSP-based cost estimation planning socialization was effective in improving the village community's understanding of construction infrastructure budget management, although continued mentoring is still needed for optimal and sustainable implementation.

Kecurangan (fraud) di sektor perbankan daerah merupakan ancaman serius yang dapat merugikan keuangan negara dan menurunkan kepercayaan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kasus korupsi pengadaan iklan pada Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB) menggunakan pendekatan Fraud Triangle Theory yang mencakup tiga elemen utama: tekanan (pressure), kesempatan (opportunity), dan rasionalisasi (rationalization). Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus, didukung oleh studi literatur dari berbagai sumber ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kasus Bank BJB mencerminkan interaksi ketiga elemen Fraud Triangle secara simultan. Tekanan bersumber dari kebutuhan dana non-budgeter yang besar dalam pengelolaan anggaran promosi senilai Rp409 miliar. Kesempatan muncul akibat lemahnya sistem pengendalian internal, tidak adanya verifikasi dokumen yang memadai, serta penyimpangan dalam proses pengadaan. Rasionalisasi terbentuk melalui persepsi pelaku bahwa praktik tersebut merupakan hal yang lazim dalam lingkungan birokrasi dan korporasi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan pemahaman teoritis dan praktis terkait pencegahan fraud di lembaga keuangan daerah Indonesia, khususnya melalui penguatan tata kelola perusahaan dan sistem pengawasan internal.

Background: Adolescence is often characterized as a period of puberty. Early menarche is associated with increased mortality and morbidity risks in later life among girls who experience menarche at an early age. Menarche is the first menstrual event in girls, marked by the shedding of the uterine lining and vaginal bleeding. The tendency to consume unhealthy foods, particularly fast food, as well as sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), may have adverse effects on health and potentially influence the timing of menarche. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between healthy food selection, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and the incidence of early menarche. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 30 female students. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: The results showed that healthy food selection was significantly associated with the incidence of early menarche (p = 0.005) with a moderate correlation strength (ρ = 0.449). Similarly, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was significantly associated with the incidence of menarche (p = 0.000) and demonstrated a very strong correlation (ρ = 0.841). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between healthy food selection and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with the incidence of menarche. Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption showed a stronger relationship with menarche incidence compared to healthy food selection.

Humanitarian law plays a significant role in shaping military professionalism, particularly in developing leadership character that upholds human values during military operations. Marine Corps officers are frequently involved in operational assignments that directly interact with civilian populations, both in war operations and military operations other than war. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of International Humanitarian Law is essential for supporting professional and ethical decision-making. This study aims to analyze efforts to optimize humanitarian law understanding in order to develop a humanistic character among Marine Corps officer cadets. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method using observation, interviews, documentation studies, and literature reviews. Data were collected from Marine Corps educational institutions and legal experts within the Indonesian Naval Academy. The findings indicate that humanitarian law understanding among officer cadets remains constrained by limited instructional time, insufficient practical simulations, and the need for stronger curriculum integration. However, humanitarian law significantly contributes to developing integrity, responsibility, empathy, respect for human dignity, and professionalism in military leadership. Optimization efforts can be achieved through curriculum enhancement, practical case-based learning, continuous legal education, leadership ethics training, and strengthening organizational culture. The study concludes that strengthening humanitarian law education is essential for producing professional, humanistic, and globally competent Marine Corps officers.

This study analyzes the effect of logistics digitalization systems and personnel competence on the distribution of personnel uniforms (kaporlap) at Kodiklatal. The study was motivated by the fact that the distribution system had not yet operated optimally despite the implementation of digital logistics, while delays in updating the Sistem Informasi Entitas Samapta (SIMBENSAM), limited documentation of device identities, and unequal digital skills among personnel still constrained distribution performance. A quantitative approach with explanatory design was applied. The population consisted of 3,099 personnel and the sample comprised 97 respondents selected using Slovin's formula. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and internal documentation, then analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, descriptive analysis, and simple and multiple linear regression. The results show that the logistics digitalization system has a positive and significant effect on kaporlap distribution (t = 24.607; p < 0.05), personnel competence also has a positive and significant effect (t = 37.972; p < 0.05), and both variables simultaneously affect distribution performance (F = 788.285; p < 0.05) with an R square of 0.944. These findings confirm that digital systems and human competence must be strengthened in an integrated manner to support efficient, accurate, and timely distribution in a military education environment.

Food waste is still a significant problem, affecting food security, the environment, and the global economy. More than 53% of food produced becomes waste. Food waste worldwide totals 1.3 trillion annually. One of the districts with a high food waste rate is Banyumas. The most significant contributor to waste in the Banyumas region in 2021 was food waste, accounting for 39.85%, with much of it generated by restaurants. Restaurants play an essential role in managing food waste, as most food discarded at the preparation stage cannot be reused. This study aims to analyze the relationship between demographics and food waste reduction to support a digital technology approach from a restaurant perspective. This study used quantitative methods. The respondents of this study were 100 restaurants located in Banyumas, including A La Carte, Ramesan, Tegal, and Padang, and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results show that demographic factors, including income, age, restaurant opening hours, and the prices of best-selling foods, influence food waste in restaurants. The recommendation is for restaurants to prepare and plan menus. This will affect food prices, opening hours, and revenue. Some restaurants can increase their knowledge of handling food waste.

Although MSMEs are crucial to the economy, the sustainability of non-franchise micro-enterprises is often hampered by suboptimal financial governance. Low utilization of financial information, lack of separation between personal and business finances, and unstructured cash flow management are challenges that can affect long-term business sustainability. This quantitative study aims to evaluate the impact of financial record keeping, capital planning, and cash cycle management on the sustainability of non-franchise micro-enterprises in Mekargalih Village, Garut Regency. Using a survey method and saturated sampling technique, data from 70 business owners were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that financial record keeping does not have a significant impact on business sustainability, indicating that recording activities are still administrative in nature and have not been optimally utilized as a basis for business decision-making. Conversely, capital planning and cash cycle management have been shown to have a positive and significant impact on business sustainability. Business owners who are able to plan capital needs and maintain smooth cash flow tend to be more able to maintain the stability of their business operations. Simultaneously, these three variables contribute 45.2% to business sustainability. This finding confirms that the ability to allocate capital andKeywords: business continuity; financial records; capital planning; cash cycle; micro-enterprises.

Background: Stunting remains one of the public health problems that requires early prevention through health education and growth monitoring in children under five years old. Lack of parental knowledge regarding balanced nutrition, child feeding practices, hygiene, and routine physical examination can increase the risk of growth disorders in toddlers. Purpose: Physical examination in toddlers is important to identify early signs of growth and developmental problems, including body weight, height or length, nutritional status, and general physical condition. Method: This community service activity was conducted face-to-face using health education, discussion, and direct physical examination methods. The stages of activity included preparation, delivery of educational materials about stunting, physical examination of toddlers, recording the results, and providing simple counseling to parents. Results: The activity showed that mothers were enthusiastic in participating in counseling and toddler physical examination. Before the education was given, several mothers still had limited understanding about the causes, impacts, and prevention of stunting. After the activity, mothers began to understand the importance of balanced nutrition, routine weighing, height measurement, immunization, hygiene, and regular visits to posyandu or health facilities. Conclusion: Education about stunting and physical examination of toddlers can increase parental awareness regarding early prevention of growth disorders. This activity is useful in encouraging families to monitor toddler growth regularly and implement healthy childcare practices.

The study examines the symbolic meaning of the “Bread of Life” in John 6 through an exegetical-theological approach, using intertextual and narrative-semiotic perspectives. It uncovers the dynamics of Johannine Christological revelation, which moves from miracle as sign, through theological discourse, and culminates in the sacramental understanding of the Eucharist. The Gospel of John is read as a text that employs symbolism and patterns of misunderstanding to lead readers from a literal reading toward deeper faith in Jesus as the source of true life. In this framework, the “Bread of Life” functions not merely as metaphor but as a revelatory symbol integrating Christological, soteriological, and ecclesiological dimensions. Findings show that this symbol is rooted in Old Testament motifs such as manna, Exodus, and wisdom, reinterpreted Christologically in Jesus. The feeding miracle points beyond physical sustenance to divine revelation, culminating in the statement “I am the Bread of Life.” John 6:51b–58 intensifies this sacramental meaning, forming the basis for Eucharistic theology, where participation in Christ’s body and blood signifies existential communion with God. The study concludes that John integrates Christology and sacramental theology, portraying faith as movement from sign to reality, recognition to participation, and revelation to communion with Christ.

Divorce is an increasing social reality within Christian congregations, including in Indonesia, bringing profound psychological, social, and spiritual impacts while simultaneously presenting serious challenges for the church's pastoral ministry. This article examines the theological foundation and practical approaches in pastoral accompaniment for congregation members experiencing divorce, employing library research methodology within a pastoral theology framework. The study reveals that the church is called to be present not as a judge, but as a healing, supportive, and restoring community. Effective pastoral accompaniment encompasses empathetic pastoral counseling, a compassionate congregational community, intentional attention to affected children, and a long-term restoration commitment rooted in Gospel grace. The church is called to move beyond stigmatization toward genuine acceptance of wounded individuals, reflecting the redemptive love of Christ. This article concludes that the church's response to divorce must balance biblical integrity with deep compassion, affirming both the sanctity of marriage and the dignity of broken individuals. Thus, the church can become a safe space for every congregation member to experience genuine restoration and rediscover hope in Christ.

This study aims to determine the effect of assertive leadership and self-actualization on the performance of nurses at Dr. Soekardjo Regional General Hospital in Tasikmalaya. The research design used in this study is a quantitative approach using a survey method. Research subjects: All 40 nurses working in the Melati ward were included as respondents. Research data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to all respondents. The collected data were analyzed using a series of multiple linear regression tests, along with instrument validation and hypothesis testing. The results of the data analysis yielded the regression equation Y = 0.743 + 0.482X1 + 0.521X2 + e. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that assertive leadership positively contributes to improved nursing performance. Additionally, self-actualization also plays a role in supporting performance improvement. Simultaneously, both variables exert a significant influence on nursing performance. The coefficient of determination of 68.2% indicates that 68.2% of the variation in nurses’ performance can be explained by the two independent variables—assertive leadership and self-actualization—while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings suggest that strengthening a more assertive and clear leadership style and fostering nurses’ self-actualization can serve as strategies for improving the quality of nursing care.

This study is motivated by the proliferation of regulations that facilitate the exploitative extraction of natural resources in Indonesia as a consequence of the penetration of neoliberal ideology, which deviates from the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The significance of this research lies in the strategic role of Muhammadiyah through the "Constitutional Jihad" movement in restoring state sovereignty over natural resources for the benefit of the public welfare. The study aims to analyze the philosophical foundations of Constitutional Jihad in reconstructing the vision of a Progressive Indonesia (Indonesia Berkemajuan) and to examine Muhammadiyah’s legal advocacy strategies in resisting the hegemony of liberal economic policies. The research focuses on how Muhammadiyah’s philosophical framework and litigation strategies are capable of correcting national energy policies, as reflected in Constitutional Court Decision Number 36/PUU-X/2012. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, case, and theological-ideological approaches. The findings reveal that, philosophically, Constitutional Jihad represents the transformation of Al-Ma’un theology and the concept of Darul Ahdi wa Syahadah into a constitutional framework that integrates divine sovereignty with popular sovereignty. In terms of strategy, Muhammadiyah utilizes Public Interest Litigation supported by interdisciplinary expert collaboration and moral mobilization rooted in civil society. The analysis of Constitutional Court Decision No. 36/PUU-X/2012 demonstrates that Muhammadiyah’s advocacy successfully invalidated unconstitutional provisions of the Oil and Gas Law that had weakened state control, while simultaneously reaffirming the state's direct management function over natural resources. The study concludes that Constitutional Jihad constitutes an effective form of national ijtihad in reconstructing a progressive, sovereign, and socially just legal order in Indonesia.
