Knee septic arthritis is an orthopedic emergency that requires prompt and appropriate management to prevent permanent joint damage and systemic complications. Inflammatory markers such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are commonly used for diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response; however, their prognostic value after surgical debridement remains variable. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the role of ESR, CRP, and platelet count as prognostic indicators following irrigation and/or surgical debridement in patients with knee septic arthritis. A literature search was conducted in January using PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, SpringerLink, and Semantic Scholar, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Study quality was assessed using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) tools. Fifteen studies meeting the inclusion criteria were qualitatively analyzed. The findings indicate that elevated preoperative CRP levels and delayed postoperative CRP reduction are associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes, including failure of infection eradication and the need for repeat debridement. Although ESR is consistently elevated during the acute phase, its slower decline limits its short-term prognostic utility. Platelet count may increase as part of the systemic inflammatory response but shows inconsistent prognostic value.

The study highlights the importance of spirituality as a foundational framework for shaping adolescents’ life orientation in the complex digital era, marked by pervasive distractions and fragmented meaning. Ignatian spirituality, emphasizing reflection and lived experience as loci of encounter with God, provides a contextual approach to help adolescents construct deeper existential meaning. The study aims to examine how reflective practices within this framework support students of SMK Katolik St. Mikael Surakarta in internalizing spiritual values and navigating digital challenges. Using a qualitative descriptive case study design, data were collected from 195 reflective writings of twelfth-grade students and reduced to 90 representative samples. The film Hacksaw Ridge was employed as a reflective stimulus to enhance affective and existential engagement. Data analysis was conducted using the four pillars of Jesuit education: Competence, Conscience, Compassion, and Commitment. The findings reveal that all reflections contain at least one element of the 4C framework integrated with Ignatian spirituality. Reflection serves not only as a medium of self-expression but also as a transformative process fostering moral awareness, social sensitivity, and commitment to action. It effectively enables students to process both personal and digital experiences into meaningful learning. The study affirms the strong relevance of integrating spirituality, reflection, and Ignatian pedagogy in contemporary education, contributing to the formation of reflective, value-oriented individuals committed to the common good.

The concept of the natural look in facial makeup has continued to develop along with changes in beauty trends that emphasize a simple, clean, and natural appearance. The natural look is not only understood as a makeup technique involving minimal cosmetic use, but also as a representation of modern beauty perceptions that highlight authenticity and self-confidence. This article aims to examine the concept of the natural look in facial makeup through a literature review of various relevant previous studies. The method used is a literature study by analyzing scientific journals and books discussing natural makeup techniques and beauty perceptions. The results indicate that the natural look is achieved through the use of neutral colors, light application techniques, adjustment to individual facial characteristics, and the selection of cosmetics that support a natural appearance. In addition, beauty perceptions of the natural look tend to emphasize simplicity, cleanliness, and an authentic impression. Therefore, the natural look can be understood as a combination of technical approaches in makeup and social constructions of the meaning of beauty in society.

Introduction: Ramadan fasting is a religious practice observed by Muslims by abstaining from food and drink from dawn until sunset. These changes may increase the need for oral and dental healthcare. However, some Muslims still perceive that undergoing dental treatment while fasting may invalidate the fast, leading many patients to delay or avoid dental visits during Ramadan. Objective: This study aims to review and analyse various scientific literature regarding the safety and permissibility of dental procedures for patients who are observing fasting during Ramadan. Methods: This study used a narrative review method by searching scientific articles through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases using keywords relevant to the research topic. Articles were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The review findings indicate that most dental procedures, such as local anaesthesia administration, scaling, restorative treatment, and tooth extraction, generally do not invalidate fasting as long as no material or fluid is intentionally swallowed. The use of suction devices, isolation of the treatment area, and proper scheduling of dental procedures are important factors in minimizing the risk of swallowing fluids during treatment. Conclusion: Most dental procedures can be safely performed on fasting patients while still considering both medical aspects and Islamic principles. Patient education regarding the safety of dental procedures during fasting should be improved to prevent delays in treatment and complications in oral health.

Bintan Regency, as a coastal area with a strategic geographical location as an international shipping route, is vulnerable to marine pollution caused by oil spills. Repeated incidents throughout 2023-2025 show that this problem has not been resolved. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of MARPOL Annex I as a regulation that prevents pollution caused by oil spills at sea, particularly in Bintan Regency. This study identifies gaps in the implementation of regulations at the national level and formulates a more integrated form of prevention through strengthened supervision and the application of technology. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method through a literature review approach, with secondary data from scientific journals, articles, media reports, YouTube, and other supporting documents related to the incident. The results of the study show that: first, mitigation efforts are still focused on post-spill responses, such as manual cleanup involving institutions and the community. Second, weak border patrols make it difficult to find the perpetrators. Third, Bintan Regency has not utilized technology such as blockchain as a potential tool that can help prove ship compliance with MARPOL Annex I. Although MARPOL Annex I has been implemented in accordance with national regulations, its implementation has proven ineffective as spills continue to recur to this day. Therefore, changes are needed in terms of prevention through integrated maritime surveillance and the introduction of digital technology for reporting ship compliance with MARPOL Annex I in the Bintan Regency area.

The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) in the digital era presents both opportunities and challenges for the Islamic economic system. This study aims to analyze the concept of Islamic fintech, its role in digital economic transformation, and its legal review from the perspective of Islamic economic law (fiqh muamalah). Using a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach, this research examines various fintech models operating on sharia principles—including Islamic peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, digital Islamic crowdfunding, sharia payment gateways, and Islamic robo-advisory—and reviews their compliance with the principles of prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (excessive uncertainty), maysir (gambling), and the requirement of maslahah (public benefit). The results indicate that: (1) Islamic fintech represents a legitimate financial innovation insofar as it adheres to the principles of sharia; (2) the National Sharia Council–Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) fatwas, particularly No. 117/DSN-MUI/II/2018 on Information Technology-Based Financing Services, provide a regulatory framework but require continuous updating to keep pace with technological developments; (3) Islamic fintech contributes significantly to financial inclusion, particularly for unbanked communities in Indonesia; and (4) challenges related to sharia compliance, data governance, and regulatory harmonization remain critical issues requiring the joint attention of regulators, sharia scholars, and technology practitioners. This study contributes to the development of Islamic economic law theory in the context of digital transformation and provides practical recommendations for Islamic fintech stakeholders.

This study examines the legal protection of children's rights to inclusive education and its implications for the institutional governance of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia. A normative juridical method with a descriptive-qualitative library-based approach is used to evaluate the coherence between macro-level child protection regulations and operational standards for school management. The data are entirely secondary, sourced from statutory laws, ministerial regulations, and pertinent scientific literature. The findings reveal a fundamental tension: the constitutional rights of children with special needs to access non-discriminatory ECE are robustly guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 35/2014 on Child Protection, and Law No. 8/2016 on Persons with Disabilities, yet a wide gap persists at the implementation level. This discrepancy arises because derivative ECE governance instruments including accreditation frameworks and curriculum standards still frame inclusion readiness as a voluntary component rather than a binding obligation. Consequently, ECE institutions encounter systemic barriers in human resource management, physical accessibility, and curricular flexibility. The study underscores the urgency of transitioning ECE management toward a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) and recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education reform accreditation instruments by embedding inclusive indicators as mandatory prerequisites for institutional feasibility, thereby aligning administrative governance with the fulfillment of children's constitutional rights.

Flooding is one of the most frequent disasters in DKI Jakarta and contributes not only to physical and economic losses but also to the emergence of various psychological problems among affected communities. This study aims to analyze the psychological impacts of post-flood disasters, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly, and to examine the effects of repeated flood exposure on mental health conditions. This study employs a literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the identification and synthesis of relevant scientific sources. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis to identify patterns, relationships, and trends in research findings. The results indicate that flooding is associated with psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with varying levels of severity. Repeated exposure to flooding has been shown to increase individuals’ vulnerability to mental health problems and reduce psychological well-being. However, protective factors such as social support, religiosity, emotional regulation abilities, and adaptive coping strategies play a significant role in strengthening resilience and accelerating psychological recovery. The findings highlight the importance of a holistic disaster management approach that integrates mental health services, strengthens community capacity, and enhances preparedness education to improve the psychological resilience of flood-affected communities.

This study aims to examine the role of information technology (IT) professional ethics as a preventive instrument in facing the escalation of cyber crime in Indonesia. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA protocol, 17 selected scientific literature from the 2020-2026 period were analyzed comprehensively. The results of the study indicate that dominant operating modes such as ransomware on national infrastructure and mass data breaches in the banking and health sectors are rooted in the neglect of integrity and accountability principles. The discussion in this study confirms that the application of professional ethics based on the PAPA (Privacy, Accuracy, Property, Accessibility) framework is able to suppress the risk of internal threats and strengthen digital defense. The conclusion of the study shows that the synergy between the 2024 ITE Law regulations and the internalization of the professional code of ethics is the main key to data sovereignty in the digital era. The practical implications of this research recommend strengthening the ethics curriculum in IT higher education and ethical compliance audits in the public sector.

Digital transformation in Human Resource Management (HRM) has shifted the organizational paradigm from an administrative function to a strategic function focused on adaptive and sustainable human resource development. This study aims to systematically review the integration of digital technology in HRM practices with particular emphasis on inclusivity and organizational sustainability. The method employed is a literature review analyzing various studies related to the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and digital systems in recruitment, competency development, and employee performance evaluation. The findings indicate that digital transformation enhances operational efficiency, decision-making quality, and workplace flexibility. However, the adoption of digital technology also creates ethical challenges, including algorithmic bias, unequal access to technology, and concerns regarding employee data privacy. Therefore, the implementation of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) principles is essential in developing fair and inclusive HRM systems. Furthermore, continuous learning cultures and flexible work models have proven effective in supporting employee well-being while strengthening organizational resilience in facing global changes. This study emphasizes the importance of synergy between technological innovation, ethical leadership, and sustainability in building HRM systems that are responsive to the future of work.

Organizational psychology plays an important role in understanding individual and group behavior within organizations, particularly in educational contexts. Its application can help improve the effectiveness of educational institution management by strengthening key aspects such as work motivation, leadership, communication, and a conducive work environment. By understanding these aspects, educational organizations can develop more effective work systems, enhance the performance of educators, and create a positive and productive organizational culture. However, research on organizational psychology in educational settings remains fragmented and often focuses on specific variables separately. This limits a comprehensive understanding of how these factors interact to influence overall organizational performance. Therefore, a more integrative and comprehensive review is needed to synthesize previous findings. This study aims to review and synthesize existing literature on organizational psychology in educational organizations, with a particular focus on the roles of motivation, leadership, and work environment in improving organizational effectiveness. The findings are expected to provide a more holistic understanding and serve as a basis for developing strategies to enhance the performance of educational organizations in the future.

Management psychology is an approach that plays a crucial role in understanding individual and group behavior within organizations, particularly in the ever-evolving educational and work environments. The application of psychological principles to management practice is believed to improve performance, leadership effectiveness, and create a more conducive work and learning environment. This study aims to examine the development of trends, approaches, and key findings in the study of management psychology through a literature review. Furthermore, this study also seeks to answer two research questions: (1) how have management psychology research trends developed over the past five years, and (2) what are the key findings in the educational and organizational contexts. The method used is a qualitative approach by searching various literature sources through the Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) databases, using the keyword "management psychology." Of the 20 articles found between 2021 and 2026, five were selected as the most relevant for further analysis. The study results indicate three dominant themes: the role of management psychology in education, the influence of motivation and leadership on performance, and its contribution to the organizational adaptation process. The conclusions of this study confirm that integrating psychological aspects into management plays a crucial role in increasing organizational effectiveness. Therefore, further research is recommended to empirically examine the relationship between psychological variables and a broader scope.

.This study aims to analyse the role of Financial Information Systems (FIS) in supporting risk management, decision-making, and organisational performance in the digital transformation era. This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to examine articles indexed in Scopus from 2016 to 2026. The PRISMA framework is used to ensure a systematic, transparent article selection process, resulting in the selection of 37 relevant articles for further analysis. The results of the study show that Financial Information Systems make a major contribution to improving financial transparency, operational efficiency, the quality of strategic decision-making, and organisational risk mitigation. In addition, the integration of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), FinTech, big data analytics, and cloud computing further strengthens the effectiveness of financial information systems in modern organisations. This study contributes theoretically by mapping research trends and identifying research gaps, while providing practical benefits for organisations seeking to increase competitiveness through digital financial systems. For future research, it is recommended to develop a more predictive and intelligent Financial Information Systems model to address future business dynamics.

Marriage is one of the fundamental institutions in Indonesian law, regulated through Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage as subsequently amended by Law Number 16 of 2019. The practice of polygamy in Indonesia is not absolutely prohibited, yet it is subject to strict requirements, including obtaining prior permission from the Religious Court and consent from the existing wife or wives. The absence of such permission constitutes a serious violation of marital law. This study examines the juridical review of polygamy without permission under Indonesian marriage law, focusing on the high-profile case of Ahmad Dhani and Maia Estianty. Using a normative legal research method with a statutory and case study approach, this paper analyzes the legal basis of polygamy regulation, the legal consequences of unauthorized polygamy, and the legal remedies available to aggrieved parties. The findings indicate that Ahmad Dhani's marriage to Mulan Jameela without obtaining permission from the Religious Court and without the consent of his first wife, Maia Estianty, constituted an unlawful act under Indonesian marriage law. Such unauthorized polygamy renders the second marriage legally defective and potentially voidable. Furthermore, the aggrieved wife has the legal right to file for divorce and claim compensation under applicable civil law provisions. This study also reveals systemic weaknesses in the enforcement of polygamy regulations in Indonesia, particularly the lack of effective sanctions against violators. Recommendations are directed at legislative reform to strengthen existing provisions and enhance judicial oversight of polygamous marriages in Indonesia.

Non-performing loans represent one of the risks faced by banks in their lending activities, particularly in housing loan (KPR) products. This study aims to analyze the procedures for resolving problematic housing loans and to identify the factors causing the decline in debtors’ repayment ability, as well as the obstacles encountered in the implementation of such procedures at PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk, Tasikmalaya Branch Office. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through direct observation and interviews with relevant parties within the bank. The results show that the procedures for resolving problematic loans are carried out through several stages, including submission of restructuring applications, document verification, analysis of the debtor’s repayment capacity, determination of restructuring schemes, approval, agreement signing, and post-restructuring monitoring. These procedures are supported by the application of the 3R concept, namely rescheduling, reconditioning, and restructuring, which are implemented flexibly according to the debtor’s condition. The findings also indicate that the decline in debtors’ repayment ability is mainly caused by decreased income, job loss, increased living expenses, and unstable economic conditions. In practice, several obstacles were identified, such as incomplete documentation, lack of debtor cooperation, and issues related to collateral ownership that has been transferred from the original debtor. Therefore, improved supervision, better communication, and stronger coordination between the bank and debtors are necessary to ensure the effectiveness of loan resolution procedures.

Human Trafficking (TPPO) has undergone a significant transformation in its modus operandi alongside the massive use of information technology, giving rise to the phenomenon of cyber-recruitment within the online scam industry. This study aims to analyze the juridical construction of the criminal elements in the cyber-recruitment modus operandi based on Law Number 21 of 2007, and to evaluate the potential disharmony of norms between the TPPO regulation and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) regarding the regulation of digital evidence. The research method employed is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results indicate that, dogmatically, the elements of TPPO—comprising the process of virtual recruitment, the means of fraudulent job promises, and the purpose of digital forced labor exploitation—under Law No. 21 of 2007 remain relevant for prosecuting cyber-recruitment perpetrators, although it demands a broader legal interpretation of cyberspace realities. However, legal certainty issues were found due to the lack of synchronicity in the regulation of digital evidence, where differences in procedures and qualifications exist between electronic evidence in the TPPO Law and the evidentiary standards in the UU ITE, which are volatile in nature. The implications of this research conclude the need for regulatory synchronization through the establishment of technical guidelines for handling TPPO-specific electronic evidence to provide a solid legal foundation for law enforcement agencies. This step is crucial to overcome cross-border jurisdictional obstacles and to ensure substantive justice and comprehensive protection of victims' rights in the digital era.

Organizations in the digital era face rapid and unpredictable changes characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, requiring strategic adaptation and effective change management. This study aims to synthesize empirical findings on the role of change management strategies, adaptive leadership, innovative organizational culture, and employees’ psychological readiness in supporting digital transformation and improving employee performance. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analyzing 23 selected peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2026. The findings indicate that successful digital transformation is not solely determined by technological advancement but largely influenced by human-centered factors. Adaptive and transformational leadership plays a critical role in fostering trust, reducing resistance, and maintaining employees’ emotional stability during organizational change. Furthermore, an innovative organizational culture, transparent communication, and continuous training significantly enhance employee engagement, adaptability, and performance. Psychological factors such as stress and resistance can either hinder or support change outcomes depending on how they are managed. The study highlights the importance of integrating technological, structural, and human aspects to achieve sustainable organizational transformation. The implications suggest that organizations should prioritize human-centered change strategies, strengthen digital literacy, and promote adaptive leadership to remain competitive in the Society 5.0 era.

Flood disasters have repeatedly affected Aceh Tamiang Regency for over fifteen years, causing significant material and socio-cultural losses. This study aims to examine the social response of the community through a literature review approach, using Jurgen Habermas's Communicative Action Theory as the analytical framework. Data were collected systematically from national journal articles, scientific proceedings, and academic reports related to flood mitigation and community social response in Aceh Tamiang. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and thematic analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the community's response is primarily driven by local solidarity rooted in cultural values and local wisdom such as hadih maja. In Habermasian terms, this social response reflects the lifeworld domain, manifesting in voluntary collective action. However, a structural tension exists between the government's top-down system and the community's communicative rationality. Effective disaster mitigation requires the development of participatory public spaces that bridge the system and lifeworld, enabling the transformation from instrumental action to communicative action, thereby strengthening collective resilience against flood disasters.

This article explores the map of Christian education approaches from theological, pedagogical, psychological, and contextual perspectives. Christian education plays a vital role in shaping the faith, character, and spirituality of students in a comprehensive manner. Using a literature review method, the study analyzes various sources on Christian education theology. The findings reveal that the theological approach emphasizes the Bible as the primary foundation for learning, while the pedagogical approach focuses on active and participatory teaching methods. The psychological approach tailors instruction to the developmental stages of students, and the contextual approach links faith with students' real-life experiences. Each approach has its strengths and limitations, and Christian educators are encouraged to integrate these approaches to achieve holistic learning goals. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration among schools, families, and churches to create an educational ecosystem that fosters the spiritual and character growth of students. By combining these approaches, educators can better equip students for both spiritual and personal development.

In an era of increasingly competitive business competition, companies are required to improve the quality of their human resources to achieve optimal organizational performance. One approach widely used in employee development is coaching. This study aims to examine the implementation of coaching for employees in companies and its impact on employee performance and development. This study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The literature search process was conducted through several scientific databases, namely Google Scholar, Scopus, and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) with a publication period of 2021–2026. Keywords used included coaching, employee coaching, employee performance, and employee development. Based on the literature selection process, 16 articles met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. The results showed that the implementation of coaching has a positive impact on improving employee performance, work motivation, self-confidence, and individual competency development. Furthermore, coaching also plays a role in increasing employee work engagement, communication skills, and self-awareness in completing work tasks. These findings indicate that coaching is an effective strategy in human resource development and improving organizational performance if applied systematically, while also providing practical contributions for HR practitioners in designing measurable and sustainable talent development interventions.
