Communication is a fundamental element in the development of entrepreneurship, particularly within edupreneurship, which integrates educational innovation with entrepreneurial values to address contemporary challenges in education. In an increasingly competitive and digitally driven educational landscape, edupreneurs are required not only to possess pedagogical competence but also strong communication skills to sustain and scale their initiatives. This study aims to analyze the role of effective communication in strengthening edupreneurship competencies. The research employs a literature review method by synthesizing and analyzing relevant theories and previous studies on communication, entrepreneurship, and edupreneurship. The findings indicate that effective communication plays a significant role in enhancing key edupreneurship competencies, including negotiation skills, leadership capacity, personal branding, and adaptability to digital transformation. Communication also functions as a strategic tool for building trust, expanding professional networks, fostering collaboration, and creating supportive learning ecosystems within educational enterprises. Moreover, effective communication enables edupreneurs to articulate value propositions clearly, manage stakeholders efficiently, and respond flexibly to dynamic changes in educational markets. The implications of this study emphasize that communication competence is not a complementary skill but a core requirement for sustainable edupreneurship development. Therefore, systematic communication training and the integration of communication-based learning strategies are strongly recommended within entrepreneurship education programs, particularly for prospective edupreneurs, to support long-term innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability in the education sector.

Adolescent girls represent a population that commonly experiences primary dysmenorrhea. Inadequate dietary habits may contribute to inflammatory responses, while low levels of physical activity can reduce the body’s natural pain regulation, both of which may intensify menstrual pain. This study aimed to analyze the association between dietary habits and physical activity with the severity of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. Participants were selected using proportional random sampling, involving 71 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 6 Malang. Dietary intake was assessed using a FFQ, physical activity levels were measured through the PAL indicator, and dysmenorrhea severity was evaluated using the WaLIDD score. The results showed that nearly half of the respondents had adequate dietary habits (49.3%) and moderate physical activity levels (47.9%), while most participants experienced moderate primary dysmenorrhea (53.5%). Statistical analysis using Somers’ d and Gamma tests yielded p-values of 0.039 and <0.001, indicating significant associations between dietary habits, physical activity, and dysmenorrhea severity. Correlation analysis demonstrated a moderate inverse relationship between dietary habits and dysmenorrhea severity (r = −0.301) and a strong association between physical activity and dysmenorrhea severity (r = 0.690).

Patient safety is often viewed exclusively as the responsibility of clinical personnel. However, administrative errors occurring during the admission process and documentation stages constitute major contributors to medical risk. This study aims to explore the strategic role of administrative staff in strengthening patient safety culture and mitigating medical risks through effective communication coordination. A narrative literature review was conducted extensively using the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases, covering publications from 2014 to 2024. Data were analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach. The findings identify four main themes: administrative staff as information gatekeepers, the role of health information technologies (HIS/EMR) in bridging communication gaps, collaboration barriers arising from hierarchical structures, and the need for an Interprofessional Shared Governance framework. Administrative accuracy in the early phases of care is proven to be critical in preventing latent errors with potentially fatal consequences. Strengthening patient safety culture requires the integration of administrative staff through cross-departmental training, standardized communication protocols, and non-punitive incident reporting systems. Administrative staff are not merely bureaucratic support personnel but are key actors within the modern hospital patient safety ecosystem.

Hypertension is a condition where arterial blood pressure is persistently above normal values. Hypertension management does not only rely on pharmacological therapy, but also requires a non-pharmacological approach as a complementary effort. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used is Benson relaxation therapy and murottal Surah Al-Kahfi. Both therapies are believed to contribute to lowering blood pressure through the mechanism of reducing stress responses, increasing physiological relaxation, and achieving psychological calm. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the combination of Benson relaxation therapy and murottal Surah Al-Kahfi in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The study design used a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest approach and a control group. The study population was 40 people who participated in the prolanis program in Kedungdowo Village. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a sample of 36 respondents was taken, divided into two groups: 18 people in the intervention group who received a combination of Benson relaxation therapy and murottal, and 18 people in the control group who were not given any intervention. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test results in the intervention group showed an effect of Benson relaxation therapy and recitation of Surah Al-Kahf in the elderly (p-value 0.004). The control group showed a p-value of 0.102. The Mann-Whitney test results showed a p-value of 0.044, indicating a difference in post-test blood pressure in those with hypertension in the control and intervention groups.

The application of a uniform pattern in center-periphery relations is frequently entrapped in a rigidity of uniformity that neglects the sociological and historical complexities of Indonesian society. This study aims to analyze the juridical construction of asymmetric decentralization within the framework of the Pancasila Rule of Law, as well as its implications for the management of diversity and national integration. Employing a normative legal research method with conceptual and statutory approaches, this study reveals that asymmetric decentralization is not merely an administrative deviation, but rather an imperative manifestation of substantive justice and the politics of recognition towards regional particularities. Although this policy has been effective in mitigating disintegration potential in special regions such as Aceh and Papua, its implementation leaves residual issues regarding sharp disparities in authority, potential legal fragmentation, and inter-regional jealousy. This study concludes that the sustainability of special autonomy necessitates a governance reconstruction that is not solely oriented towards temporary political accommodation, but must be coherently integrated with Pancasila values. The theoretical implications of this study underscore the necessity for harmonization between national legal supremacy and the flexibility of regional autonomy to foster sustainable social cohesion within the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

This study is motivated by the context of religiosity in later life, which is characterized by various forms of decline, both emotional and spiritual, that may hinder the religious practices of older adults. The study aims to examine the condition of religiosity in the elderly phase. The main focus of this research is to explore and analyze the definition of old age, the characteristics of religiosity in later life, to identify religious problems commonly experienced by the elderly, and to examine the well-being of religious life during old age. This study employs a qualitative research method using a library research approach. The findings indicate that various challenges encountered in old age, such as anxiety, fear of death, and other psychological pressures, can be addressed through religious practices. Acts of worship, prayer, and spiritual reflection are able to provide inner peace, enhance the meaning of life, foster social harmony, cultivate acceptance of life’s realities, and help older adults respond to challenges in accordance with contemporary developments.

Leadership is a fundamental aspect of human life that greatly determines the direction and quality of a society. The Qur’an, as the primary source of Islamic teachings, provides clear guidance regarding the criteria of an ideal leader based on divine values. This study aims to examine leadership criteria in the Qur’an through an analysis of Q.S. Al-Anbiya verse 73, Q.S. As-Sajdah verse 24, and Q.S. Yusuf verse 55. The research employs a library research method by analyzing the lexical meanings (mufradat), the historical context of the verses, and the interpretations of prominent mufassirs such as Buya Hamka and Muhammad Quraish Shihab. The findings indicate that leadership from a Qur’anic perspective is not merely oriented toward power, but is a great trust (amanah) that requires moral and spiritual integrity, patience, faith, trustworthiness, and competence. These verses emphasize that an ideal leader is one who guides others according to Allah’s command, possesses patience and strong conviction in His revelations, and is knowledgeable and trustworthy in managing public affairs. This study is relevant to contemporary conditions, particularly in addressing the leadership crisis marked by the abuse of power and weakened integrity. Therefore, understanding leadership criteria in the Qur’an is expected to serve as a foundation for Muslims in selecting and preparing leaders who are ethical, responsible, and morally upright.

. Public understanding of discourse embedded in children’s animated film scripts and their underlying purposes remains limited, resulting in low audience awareness of the implicit messages conveyed in meaning-laden children’s animations. The Loud House, broadcast by the children’s television network Nickelodeon, presents a relatively controversial theme by incorporating homosexual discourse, which is perceived as deviant behavior by certain segments of society. Based on this premise, this study examines the process through which homosexual behavior discourse is conveyed in The Loud House, addressing the research question: How is the discourse of homosexual behavior in The Loud House constructed in terms of textual messages, social cognition, and social context based on Teun A. Van Dijk’s discourse analysis framework?* This research adopts a qualitative approach using Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis, which encompasses three analytical dimensions: text, social cognition, and social context. The findings indicate that homosexual discourse is represented through two supporting characters, Harold and Howard, depicted as a same-sex couple who adopt a young boy. These homosexual characters are deliberately framed with a positive image as caring and affectionate parents, comparable to the portrayal of heterosexual parents.

Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are a strategic instrument in promoting village economic independence and increasing Village Original Income (PAD). However, in practice, BUMDes management still faces various governance issues, particularly related to human resource capacity, business innovation, and public accountability and trust. This study aims to analyze the acceleration of BUMDes governance from a Reinventing Government perspective through a comparative study between BUMDes in rural and urban areas. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-comparative approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research locations include BUMDes in Paan Leleng Village, Kota Komba Utara District, East Manggarai Regency as a representative of rural villages, and BUMDes in Golo Bilas Village, Komodo District, West Manggarai Regency as a representative of urban villages. The research results indicate that the implementation of Reinventing Government principles in the governance of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in both villages has been successful, but not yet optimal. The BUMDes in Golo Bilas Village has advantages in market access, business potential, and innovation, but still faces challenges in accountability and public trust. Meanwhile, the BUMDes in Paan Leleng Village demonstrates strong community participation and social values, but is hampered by limited human resources, technology, and business diversification. Accelerating BUMDes governance requires institutional strengthening, increased managerial capacity, business innovation, and the implementation of governance that is oriented towards results and community needs.

Differences in students’ levels of learning interest are often associated with their understanding of religious values, one of which is the understanding of hadiths concerning the virtues of knowledge. Hadiths emphasizing the virtues of knowledge are believed to stimulate interest in the learning process. This study aims to examine the influence of students’ understanding of hadiths on the virtues of knowledge on their learning interest at STDI Imam Syafi’i Jember. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. A total of 130 students were selected as respondents using simple random sampling. The research instruments were tested for validity and reliability, yielding Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.838 for the variable of understanding the hadiths on the virtues of knowledge and 0.884 for the learning interest variable. The normality test using Shapiro–Wilk produced a value of 0.097, indicating that the data were normally distributed, while the heteroscedasticity test showed a significance value of 0.968, confirming that the regression model was appropriate for use. The regression analysis revealed a significance value of p = 0.001 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.362. This indicates that understanding the hadiths on the virtues of knowledge has a positive influence of 36.2% on students’ learning interest, while the remaining 63.8% is influenced by other factors. These findings affirm that understanding the values contained in hadiths on the virtues of knowledge plays an important role in enhancing students’ learning interest.

Having a child with an intellectual disability requires parents to face greater challenges in parenting, encompassing not only physical needs but also emotional and social aspects. This study aims to explore the resilience of parents of children with intellectual disabilities and the factors that influence it. Parental resilience encompasses the ability to survive, adapt, and thrive despite facing high levels of psychological stress. This study used a narrative literature review method, reviewing 11 international and national journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. The results indicate that psychological stress, such as anxiety, stress, and frustration, is often experienced by parents, but high resilience can mitigate the negative impact of this stress. Factors influencing resilience include the individual characteristics of parents, the characteristics of children with intellectual disabilities, and social and environmental support. Good resilience not only supports child development but also the well-being of parents. Based on these findings, this study suggests the importance of social support and the formation of a community of parents to share experiences and provide emotional support.

According to Indonesian law, marriage is a legal act that has legal consequences for the personal status, assets, and rights and obligations of husband and wife. Therefore, marriage requires the free and conscious will of both prospective bride and groom as the basis for the birth of a valid legal relationship. This study examines the importance of getting to know your partner before getting married from a legal perspective, especially as a form of preventive legal protection in marriage law. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach through literature study of statutory regulations, legal doctrine and relevant scientific literature. The research results show that although Indonesian positive law does not yet explicitly regulate the obligation to get to know one's partner before marriage, the objectives of the Marriage Law, the principle of consensualism, and pre-marital guidance policies reflect the importance of the prospective bride and groom's substantive readiness. This readiness is related to understanding the rights and obligations in marriage as well as the legal consequences that accompany them. Thus, getting to know partners before marriage has legal relevance as an effort to prevent disputes, divorce and family disputes, as well as strengthening legal protection for husbands, wives and children in the institution of marriage.  

Domestic violence (DV) is a hidden crime phenomenon with complex criminology, deeply rooted in the interaction between economic pressures and unequal social norms. Financial instability, such as unemployment and poverty, creates profound psychological stress on individuals, especially for perpetrators who fail to fulfill their breadwinner role, which is then expressed through aggressive behavior. Economic crises even causally increase stress, leading to physical or psychological violence. The dominant profile of perpetrators is men with low emotional control who are financially stressed and adhere to patriarchal ideology, while the majority of victims are women (housewives) who are vulnerable due to economic dependence and lack of access to resources, reinforcing the dynamics of economic violence as a systematic means of control. Optimizing response requires an integrated approach: strengthening law enforcement through sensitivity to non-physical violence and guaranteeing the protection of victims' assets, empowering victims economically through training and access to capital to foster independence, and transforming social norms through gender equality campaigns and deconstructing patriarchal culture that considers domestic violence a private matter.

The purpose of this study is to analyze digital transformation in notary services, namely the validity of electronic deeds and the responsibilities of notaries in the era of e-government. This study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative and conceptual approach based on an analysis of relevant regulations, scientific literature, and other legal sources. Data was obtained through literature study and analyzed qualitatively and descriptively to assess the legal certainty and responsibility of notaries in preparing electronic deeds in the era of digital transformation in notarial practice. The results show that digital transformation in the notary field is an impact of information technology developments and e-government policies that change the notary's work processes, including administration, deed preparation, identity verification, and document storage. However, digitization must still comply with the principles of authenticity, legality, data security, and legal certainty in accordance with the characteristics of the notary's position as a public official. This study also found that the implementation of cyber notary in Indonesia still faces normative, technical, and ethical obstacles, such as the absence of comprehensive regulations, limited digital infrastructure, and the risk of identity abuse. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, capacity building for notaries, technology standardization, and effective supervision are needed so that the digitization of notary services can be implemented safely while maintaining the integrity of the profession.

The development of digital technology and the demands of 21st-century learning require teachers to implement meaningful and student-centered learning through an immersive learning approach. However, many elementary school teachers still face limitations in understanding the concept of immersive learning and utilizing technology-based learning media, especially three-dimensional (3D) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based media. Therefore, this Field Study activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of teachers and students in implementing immersive learning through the use of 3D-based learning media and AI technology at the UPTD of SD Negeri 155684 Lubuk Tukko 1, Pandan District. The activity was implemented through a four-day workshop involving teachers and students, using an approach of socialization, demonstrations, hands-on practice, discussion, and reflection.

Abstract: Character education has become a critical challenge in secondary education, particularly in learning contexts that emphasize cognitive achievement over affective and behavioral development. Although Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is widely recognized for its potential to foster collaboration and responsibility, character outcomes are often treated implicitly and rarely evaluated systematically. This study aims to develop and evaluate a character-oriented Project-Based Learning framework using a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology in Islamic secondary education. The research was conducted through iterative design cycles involving problem analysis, instructional design, implementation, evaluation, and refinement. Explicit character indicators were embedded into each phase of the PjBL process and assessed using quantitative and qualitative instruments. Statistical analysis of pretest and posttest data revealed significant improvements in students’ character-related outcomes following the implementation of the proposed framework. Qualitative findings further indicated enhanced student engagement, collaboration, and social responsibility during project activities. The results demonstrate that integrating explicit character indicators into PjBL through a DBR approach enhances the effectiveness of character education beyond conventional instructional practices. This study contributes to the literature by providing a structured and empirically validated framework that bridges Project-Based Learning, Design-Based Research, and character education. The proposed framework offers practical implications for educators seeking to integrate affective learning objectives into active learning environments.

Corruption is an extraordinary crime that has multidimensional impacts on a country’s social, economic, and political life. In Indonesia, corruption cases not only cause financial losses to the state but also undermine public trust in the government and weaken the rule of law. This study examines the case of social assistance (bansos) corruption during the Covid-19 pandemic involving former Minister of Social Affairs, Juliari P. Batubara, who was proven to receive bribes from vendors providing social assistance amounting to tens of billions of rupiah. The study aims to understand the regulation of corruption under Indonesian law, the chronology of the bansos corruption case, and the criminal liability of the former Minister of Social Affairs. The analysis shows that this case not only caused financial losses to the state but also inflicted social suffering on the poor affected by the pandemic and reduced the government’s legitimacy. The prison sentence, fines, and obligation to pay state compensation imposed on Juliari affirm the principle of criminal accountability, while digital-based reform in social assistance distribution and multi-layered supervision serve as preventive measures to curb future corruption. This study emphasizes the importance of transparency, accountability, and strict law enforcement in combating corruption in Indonesia.

The rapid advancement of information technology has encouraged elementary schools to adopt digital systems for managing learning resources, including school libraries. SDN 15 Tangerang still applies a manual library management method, which leads to several issues such as poorly organized loan records, difficulties in locating book data, and low reading interest among students. This study aims to design and develop a digital library information system using the Human Centered Design (HCD) approach, which emphasizes user needs and comfort. The HCD method is implemented through four stages: understanding the context of use, identifying user needs, designing solutions, and evaluating the system. The findings indicate that the developed system improves the efficiency of library management, simplifies the book borrowing and return processes, and provides a better user experience for students and library staff. Therefore, the implementation of an HCD-based digital library information system is expected to support the improvement of literacy and reading interest among elementary school students.  

Advances in information technology have led to digital transformation in various business sectors, including small businesses such as campus canteens. Currently, the Basement 40 Canteen at Pamulang University still uses manual methods for menu selection and order analysis, which causes a number of problems, including poor service, difficulties in the recording process, and a lack of transparency in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based application that uses the Kanban method to improve operational efficiency and create clearer work processes. The methodology used is descriptive qualitative with Agile system development based on the Kanban methodology. Direct observation, interviews with canteen managers, and document analysis were used to collect data. The implementation of Kanban involves the use of visuals to display the work process in three stages: "To Do, Doing, and Done" calculating the amount of work in progress (WIP), and continuously making adjustments. The findings of the study indicate that the application created facilitates menu selection, simplifies order status monitoring, and reduces difficulties in the delivery process. The results of the evaluation regarding the use of the system indicate that this system is easy to use and can improve work effectiveness and efficiency. This research is expected to provide a practical overview of the campus digitalization process and enhance academic understanding of the application of Agile methods in small-scale business information systems.
