This study examines the influence of e-commerce developments on the consumption patterns of Generation Z in Indonesia, the first generation to grow up in the digital era with widespread access to technology, the internet, and social media. Using a literature review method and a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes various factors influencing Gen Z's consumption behavior through e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tokopedia, and TikTok Shop. The findings indicate that easy access, attractive promotions such as flash sales, and interactions through social media encourage impulsive consumer behavior. However, e-commerce also has a positive impact in the form of opportunities for the development of digital MSMEs that empower the younger generation economically. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of online shopping, changing consumption patterns and opening new opportunities for MSMEs. The main challenge faced is the risk of impulsive buying, which can lead to financial and mental health problems. Therefore, financial literacy education and digital marketing regulations are essential to shaping healthy and sustainable consumption patterns for Generation Z. This study provides insights for the government, business actors, and the public in optimizing the benefits of e-commerce while minimizing its negative impacts.  

This study aims to describe the condition of clean water access and its impact on public health in Swadaya Village. The research employed a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with household heads, community leaders, health workers, and local water managers. The findings reveal that access to clean water in Swadaya Village remains very limited. Most residents rely on dug wells and river water for daily needs, while only a small portion use water from the local water utility (PDAM) due to high installation costs and limited pipeline coverage. The water quality often decreases during the dry season, becoming cloudy, odorous, and causing skin irritation. These conditions contribute to the increasing incidence of waterborne diseases such as skin infections, diarrhea, and typhoid fever. Besides infrastructure limitations, the lack of community awareness regarding hygiene and sanitation practices worsens the situation. Although the village government has proposed clean water development programs, their implementation has been hampered by budget constraints. The study concludes that clean water problems in Swadaya Village are not only related to resource availability but also to environmental management and community behavior. Therefore, improving water infrastructure must be accompanied by community education to promote a healthy, safe, and sustainable living environment.

Social media has become an alternative space for emotional expression among university students, particularly as a medium for sharing personal problems or emotional distress. This study aims to examine the effect of social media use as a venting platform on the mental health of students at STAIN Mandailing Natal. A quantitative associative research design was employed, involving 25 fifth-semester students as respondents. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring the intensity of social media venting behavior and mental health indicators, including stress, anxiety, mood, and self-confidence. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests, including correlation and simple linear regression. The findings indicate that social media use as a place for venting has a significant relationship with students’ mental health. Positive responses received through social media tend to improve emotional well-being, while negative responses may increase stress and anxiety levels. These findings suggest that social media can function both as a supportive and risky environment for students’ mental health, depending on how it is used. Therefore, students are encouraged to use social media wisely, and educational institutions are advised to provide mental health literacy and guidance related to healthy social media use.

This study aimed to investigate the implementation of the BERDES (Bersih Desa) Program as an innovative strategy to foster environmental awareness among elementary school students at SD Negeri 2 Demulih. The program was designed using a participatory approach based on the Participatory Action Learning Sistem (PALS) method, which engaged students as active participants in identifying problems, planning, executing, and evaluating real actions in their school and local community environments. The research found that active student involvement in cleaning activities, waste management socialisation, and collective reflection significantly enhanced positive attitudes and social responsibility towards environmental conservation from an early age. Despite challenges such as limited frequency of program activities and common misconceptions about waste classification (organic, inorganic, residual), the BERDES program successfully served as an effective educational tool that embedded environmental care values among rural youth. The findings emphasised the critical role of schools as centres for environmental character education that combine theoretical knowledge with practical engagement to address real environmental issues.

This activity employed a descriptive qualitative method with a participatory approach, where the community was actively involved in all stages of implementation, from planning and execution to evaluation. The results show that the dishwashing soap training effectively improved participants’ skills and creativity in processing simple materials into marketable products with local economic potential. Meanwhile, the saving education activities successfully increased financial literacy and encouraged wise financial behavior within families. Through active community participation, this program not only provided new skills but also fostered economic independence and strengthened the spirit of cooperation as a foundation for sustainable empowerment at the village level.

Sleep quality is a crucial component of health and overall well-being among older adults, as the aging process is commonly associated with various physiological, psychological, and environmental changes that may significantly disrupt normal sleep patterns. Declining bodily functions, increased health problems, and changes in daily routines often contribute to sleep disturbances in later life. This literature review aims to analyze the factors influencing sleep quality in the elderly by synthesizing findings from relevant national and international studies published in recent years. Various factors were identified, including physiological conditions such as chronic diseases, pain, and hormonal changes; psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, stress, and cognitive decline; lifestyle-related factors such as levels of physical activity, dietary habits, medication use, and caffeine consumption; and environmental aspects including noise exposure, lighting conditions, temperature, and overall bedroom comfort. The reviewed literature consistently indicates that poor sleep quality is strongly associated with impaired physical health, reduced cognitive function, increased fatigue, and decreased emotional well-being in older adults. This review highlights the importance of comprehensive, multidisciplinary interventions that address both intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of sleep to effectively improve overall sleep quality among elderly populations.

The establishment of the age limit for children up to 18 years in Indonesian law is a normative instrument that aims to ensure legal certainty and child protection. This provision is adopted in various laws and regulations as a form of the state's commitment to fulfilling children's rights. However, in law enforcement practice, the application of this age limit often causes problems when faced with the dynamics of actual cases that reveal a discrepancy between the normative age and the social, psychological, and factual conditions of the child. This condition creates tension between the legal-formal approach that emphasizes legal certainty and the need for substantive justice oriented towards the best interests of the child. This study aims to analyze the problems of applying the age limit of 18 years in the context of actual cases and to examine how the tension between legal certainty and the reality of children is reflected in law enforcement practices in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach, as well as normative qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that the rigid application of the age limit for children has the potential to ignore the contextual aspects of children and give rise to inconsistencies in practice. Therefore, a more contextual legal approach is needed through strengthening the discretion of law enforcement officials and progressive interpretation by judges in order to achieve substantive justice and optimal protection for children.

Road preservation is a type of maintenance that keeps roads in satisfactory working order by using preventive, corrective, rehabilitation, and reconstruction methods. This approach makes sure that the road stays usable for the entire time it is planned to be used. In practice, preservation projects often run into delays that can lead to important contract conditions. To avoid this, there needs to be a structured way to evaluate things through a Show Case Meeting (SCM). This study looks at how SCM was used in the 2024 Girian–Kema–Rumbia–Buyat Road Preservation Project to find out what caused the delays and how well the agreed-upon fixes worked. The method included looking at physical progress, differences between planned and actual performance, and how well the contractor did during SCM Stages I and II. The results indicate that the contractor failed to provide enough workers and move the right equipment, which led to the critical contract condition. SCM Stage I did not meet the required test-case target, but SCM Stage II did, showing that the contractor was able to meet the required performance targets and finish the work on time. These results show that SCM is an important way to control contracts and fix problems, which helps construction projects get done on time and well.

The weakness of the scientific tradition among Muslims and the complex problems of Islamic education have left Islamic education consistently lagging behind, theoretically unable to provide answers to the demands of liberalism and humanization. A reconstruction of the epistemological structure appropriate to the current context is necessary. This paper aims to analyze and critique Ibn Rushd's epistemology. The article is a study of the figure to look specifically at his epistemology with critical reasoning to produce findings on the research questions. The results of the study show that Ibn Rushd's epistemology is a critical synthesis of Greek philosophy and Islamic religion, which places reason and revelation as complementary paths to true knowledge and happiness in the afterlife. He critiques the thought that separates the two, especially by emphasizing the importance of scientific methods and rational reasoning, and highlights its critical aspects through criticism of Al-Ghazali and the development of the theory of the unity of the intellect which has had a significant impact on philosophical thought and education. Ibn Rushd's thinking sparked the Averroist movement in Europe, which later ushered in the Renaissance. His epistemology had positive implications for the development of Islamic education, encouraging the development of reason-based knowledge and scientific analysis. His concept of the unity of philosophy and religion, along with his emphasis on the scientific method, inspired scientists in the development of general knowledge in the modern era .

Overall, this community service activity demonstrates that practical environmental education can effectively foster ecological awareness, strengthen community participation, and create opportunities for local economic empowerment through the utilization of household waste.

The advancement of information technology today has provided great benefits in the world of education. The construction of computer-based academic information system websites is part of the use of information technology. With information technology, it is possible for academic databases to be processed quickly and easily, so that in the presentation of the required academic information reports can be obtained precisely, quickly, and efficiently. SMP Negeri 2 Wewewa Utara already has sufficient information technology infrastructure, but it has not been used optimally in academic management. The school already has a computer lab and internet access, but academic data management is still carried out manually using a ledger and Microsoft Excel application. To address issues such as unintegrated student data, complex and time-consuming grade management processes, delivering academic information, and monitoring student learning progress, an academic information system is needed. The purpose of developing this system is to solve the problems contained in the previous system by creating an academic information system at SMP N 2 Wewewa Utara. With the implementation of the new system at SMP N 2 Wewewa Utara, the knowledge and skills of employees, teachers, and principals in the field of web-based academic information systems can be improved. In the development of the academic information system that will be included in the system, it includes information about students, subjects, student classes, classrooms, teachers, homeroom teachers, and student score reports. The software used is DBMS (Database Management System), while the data storage medium is MySQL and PHP as a Programming Language.

Behind the success of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG), there are several problems related to the health factors of the program targets, namely, there are several cases of allergies that occur in schools, inadequate understanding of allergen management owned by food processing vendors, and the high cost of laboratory tests and the process that takes a long time. So, to overcome these problems, an application is proposed that can help detect allergens in food products using data mining and machine learning approaches. SVM and AdaBoost algorithms each have advantages that can be used to help build an optimal allergen detection model. This research uses a cross-validation model validation method with a value of K = 10 to help improve the performance of the model built. In this study, from the entire fold, an average accuracy value of 98.74% was obtained. To evaluate the model built, this research has also conducted several new data inputs, and in each new data input, the accuracy value is obtained above 99%. This indicates that the model built, namely the combination of SVM and AdaBoost algorithms with the cross-validation model validation method, produces high accuracy, so this model can greatly assist the allergen detection process in food products.

Employment agreements are essential legal instruments that regulate the rights and obligations of workers and employers in industrial relations, aiming to ensure legal certainty and balance. In practice, however, the implementation of employment contracts often faces challenges such as differing interpretations, unequal bargaining positions, and inconsistent application of labor regulations. These issues require an effective and constructive dispute resolution mechanism that can address contractual problems while preserving employment relationships. In the Indonesian labor law system, mediation is recognized as a key non-litigation mechanism facilitated by government-appointed mediators to help parties reach mutually acceptable solutions. This study examines the mediation mechanism for resolving employment agreement disputes in Indonesia and analyzes its role as an alternative to court proceedings that emphasizes deliberation, efficiency, and cooperation. Using a normative legal research method with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study analyzes relevant labor laws, mediation regulations, and legal doctrines through a comprehensive literature review. The findings show that mediation is conducted through structured stages, including dispute registration with labor authorities, mediator appointment, facilitated negotiations, and the formulation of agreements or written recommendations. Mediation effectively promotes consensual solutions, reduces procedural complexity, and encourages cooperative communication. It also supports the preservation of harmonious and sustainable employment relationships by prioritizing consensus over adversarial processes. Strengthening mediator competence and improving legal awareness among workers and employers are therefore crucial to optimizing the effectiveness of mediation in resolving employment agreement disputes in Indonesia.
