Mental health among Generation Z university students has become an increasingly important issue amid rising academic demands and the rapid development of digital life. Students today face various academic pressures, including competition for achievement, heavy coursework, and performance targets, which may negatively affect their psychological well-being. In addition, advances in digital technology have reshaped students’ daily lives, particularly through intensified information exposure and social comparison. This study aims to examine the influence of academic competition and digital dynamics on the mental health of Generation Z students using a literature review approach. The research employs a descriptive qualitative literature review method by analyzing 20 relevant scholarly articles published in national and international journals between 2018 and 2024. The findings indicate that academic competition is closely associated with increased levels of stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion among students. Prolonged academic pressure without adequate psychological support may lead to a decline in students’ psychological well-being. Furthermore, digital life reinforces psychological pressure through mechanisms of social comparison and self-presentation demands. However, several studies also identify protective factors, such as social support, mental health literacy, and emotional regulation skills, which help students manage academic and digital pressures more adaptively. Therefore, the mental health of Generation Z students is shaped by a complex interaction between academic competition and digital life, highlighting the need for comprehensive efforts from both individuals and educational institutions to promote students’ psychological well-being.

This study examines the integration of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a strategic legal instrument to support the development of the creative economy in Indonesia. The creative economy has become one of the main drivers of national economic growth; however, its development is often constrained by weak legal protection of intellectual property, particularly among micro, small, and medium enterprises. This research employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that the integration of IPR into CSR programs plays a significant role in enhancing legal awareness, strengthening protection of creative works, and promoting sustainable economic empowerment for communities. CSR-based IPR protection not only benefits right holders but also contributes to inclusive development and corporate sustainability. Therefore, strengthening CSR policies oriented toward IPR protection is essential to ensure balanced economic growth and legal certainty in the creative economy sector.

Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that occurs in mothers after childbirth, with symptoms that can appear from pregnancy until 4 weeks postpartum. This condition negatively impacts the psychological health of the mother and the development of the baby. This study aims to analyze factors associated with the risk of postpartum depression. The method used was quantitative with an analytical survey design through a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was carried out using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire consisting of 10 questions. The results of the validity test showed a calculated r value of > 0.3610 and the reliability test obtained a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.67. The study sample consisted of 42 respondents selected using a total sampling technique, with inclusion criteria of mothers aged ≥18 years, in the period <6 weeks postpartum, and willing to be respondents. Data analysis used the chi-square test. The results showed that all variables had a significant relationship with the risk of postpartum depression (p < 0.05). These variables include age (p=0.040), education (p=0.018), occupation (p=0.011), history of depression (p=0.024), complications (p=0.017), economic status (p=0.048), parity (p=0.016), type of delivery (p=0.006), husband's support (p=0.000), and family support (p=0.028). Therefore, it can be concluded that demographic, obstetric, and social support factors play an important role in the risk of postpartum depression. These results are expected to form the basis for prevention efforts and early intervention to improve postpartum maternal mental health.

Civil servants (ASN) entering retirement represent a strategic human resource asset for national development; however, their potential is often underutilized due to an institutional vacuum. This study identifies this fundamental problem as manifesting in two dimensions: the absence of a cohesive structure among the retired community and the lack of a structure that systematically connects them to the economic empowerment ecosystem. Consequently, the transition from active service to a productive retirement period presents a significant challenge. The purpose of this research is to design an effective institutional forum model to serve as a facilitative bridge. The analysis employs a framework integrating three pillars: Mochtar Kusumaatmadja's Development Law Theory as the philosophical foundation, Ansell and Gash's Collaborative Governance concept as the governance paradigm, and the Pentahelix model as the operational framework. This study proposes a multi-stakeholder collaborative forum designed to synergize the roles of government, industry, academia, communities, and the media. The primary recommendation is the establishment of a formal entity functioning as an incubator and accelerator. This entity is intended not only to address the economic needs of retirees but also to align with the country's constitutional mandate to achieve sustainable social welfare.

The English Fun Tales program is a community service activity aimed at improving children's English literacy through the use of picture books. This activity was carried out at Rumah Belajar Jadi Mulya, Salatiga, which serves as a non-formal learning center for children from the surrounding area. The background of this program stems from the limited access of children in the area to attractive, interactive, and developmentally appropriate English learning resources.

This study aims to identify and analyze the contribution of the Mosque Welfare Board in improving the religious attitudes of the community around Ar-Ridha Mosque, Titipapan. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews with informants and documentation studies. The results indicate that many mosques are still only used as places for ritual worship and have not been optimized as facilities for empowering the Islamic capacity of the surrounding community. In fact, mosques should not only function as places for congregational prayers but also serve as centers for social, economic, and educational development. At Ar-Ridha Mosque, the utilization of facilities and infrastructure as well as activity management has not been optimal, which affects the comfort and participation of the congregation. Therefore, greater seriousness and responsibility from the mosque administrators are needed to ensure that the mosque functions effectively as a center for fostering the community’s religious development.

The development of the digital era demands that youth possess practical and applicable information technology (IT) skills to enhance competitiveness in the workforce and entrepreneurship. However, the gap between theoretical knowledge and basic technical skills—such as computer assembly, installation, and troubleshooting—remains a real challenge among youth, particularly in community settings such as the Patitech Academy in Pati Regency. The training program was implemented using experiential learning methods and a participatory approach over three days. A total of 25 participants engaged in a series of activities, including socialization, technical training, intensive mentoring, and evaluation. Measurement instruments included written pre- and post-tests, practical performance observation, and satisfaction questionnaires. Data analysis showed a significant improvement in participant competencies. The average post-test score increased by 40.2% compared to the pre-test, with 85% of participants demonstrating mastery in assembling computers, installing operating systems, and performing basic troubleshooting independently. The troubleshooting aspect recorded the highest increase (45%). The success of the program was supported by direct learning methods, an ideal participant-instructor ratio, and a curriculum relevant to industry needs. Hands-on training proved effective in significantly improving youth technical IT competencies. The program not only built hard skills but also increased participants' self-confidence and independence. For sustainability, it is recommended to develop advanced modules, strengthen industry networking, and establish a digital alumni forum. The findings of this study can serve as a model for developing youth empowerment programs based on digital skills in other communities.

This study aims to analyze the development of marine tourism in Makassar City. The city of Makassar has rich maritime potential with a combination of coastal areas and small islands that have underwater ecosystems and beautiful beach scenery, supporting the formation of marine tourism. Although there is regulatory support from various relevant national regulations and regional policies to support the development of marine tourism, the facilitation of this development still faces several challenges, including sectoral ego, poor coordination between institutions, and inadequate participation from the local community. This research was examined through the adaptive capacity theory by Emerson and Gerlak (2014), which includes structural arrangements, leadership, knowledge and learning, and resources, while the research method used was a qualitative method examined using descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that increasing adaptive capacity through joint efforts, participatory leadership, collective learning, and effective resource management is crucial in promoting sustainable marine tourism. In this regard, the implementation of marine tourism in Makassar City needs to be formulated as a tourism management system that adapts to social, economic, and ecological changes in order to achieve sustainable regional development through marine tourism.

Artistic creativity is an essential aspect of child development, contributing to imagination, fine motor skills, and self-confidence. However, limited access to art-based activities and excessive gadget use have reduced opportunities for children to develop creativity, particularly in rural areas such as Dogang Village, Langkat Regency. This community service program aimed to enhance children’s artistic creativity through the socialization of bracelet-making using paracord as a form of simple and practical non-formal education. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving children who participated in the activity. The socialization process included the introduction of tools and materials, demonstrations of basic knotting techniques, and hands-on practice with direct assistance. The results indicated that participants were able to master several basic techniques, including simple knots, braided patterns, and double (cobra) knots, which contributed to improved creativity, precision, social interaction, and self-confidence. In addition to its educational impact, the bracelets produced demonstrated economic potential, with an affordable selling price starting from Rp.5,000 per unit. Therefore, this activity not only supports the development of children’s artistic creativity but also provides opportunities for sustainable micro-enterprise development within the local community.

The management of village development program archives plays a vital role in supporting effective, transparent, and accountable village governance. However, in many villages, including Kalembu KanaiKa Village in Wewewa Barat District, archive management is still conducted conventionally without the support of a structured information system. This condition creates several challenges, such as difficulties in accessing data, low administrative efficiency, and weak documentation and accountability of village development activities. Therefore, this study aims to examine the development of an information system for managing village development program archives based on local conditions and needs. The research seeks to identify the actual condition of archive management, analyze constraints faced by village officials, and formulate directions for developing an appropriate archive management information system in Kalembu KanaiKa Village. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving village officials responsible for archive management and development program implementation. The results reveal that archive management has not been optimal due to limited human resources, inadequate facilities, and minimal use of information technology. Despite these limitations, village officials show readiness and willingness to adopt a simple and user-friendly archive management information system tailored to the village’s social and institutional capacity. These findings indicate that the development of archive information systems requires not only technical solutions but also attention to social, institutional, and capacity-building aspects.

This study conducts a qualitative literature review on students' awareness in following school rules as a reflection of high internal motivation forming self-discipline without pressure, and examines the influence of time management discipline on the effectiveness of achieving Islamic Education learning outcomes. The analysis reveals that awareness in following rules develops through a long process of value internalization, starting from external compliance due to fear of punishment, shifting to compliance due to understanding the benefits of rules, and finally reaching a stage where rules are followed because their values have merged with self-identity. Factors such as dialogical rule socialization, teacher role modeling, conducive social environment, educational sanction systems, and consistent implementation significantly determine the success of this internalization. Meanwhile, time management discipline significantly influences the effectiveness of Islamic Education learning outcomes. Students with time management skills can organize study schedules, allocate time for reflection and appreciation of religious material, and consistently perform worship. The impact is seen not only in cognitive aspects through academic grades, but also in affective aspects through religious awareness and psychomotor aspects through regular worship behavior. These findings imply the need for schools to shift disciplinary development paradigms from authoritarian approaches focused on supervision and punishment toward humanist approaches focused on value internalization.

Social protection programs in Indonesia play a strategic role in poverty alleviation and supporting economic development. One form of social protection implementation at the regional level is the Depok Prosperity Card (KDS) Program, implemented by the Depok City Government as a means of ensuring food security for underprivileged communities. However, the program's implementation has been deemed incompletely transparent and poorly targeted, as expressed by several members of the Depok City Council (DPRD). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation of the city's food security policy through the Depok Sejahtera Card Program in Tanah Baru Village, Depok City. This study uses Charles O. Jones's policy implementation theory, which encompasses three main indicators: organization, interpretation, and implementation. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The results indicate that, from an organizational perspective, the Depok Sejahtera Card Program has been implemented quite well, characterized by a clear division of tasks among relevant stakeholders. From an interpretive perspective, the program has a strong legal basis through Depok Mayor Regulation Number 79 of 2022 and aims to reduce poverty. However, various obstacles remain in the implementation aspect, resulting in program implementation not being optimal and efficient. Nevertheless, the program is considered beneficial for recipient communities, although an increase in the amount of assistance is still needed to meet food needs for a period of one month.
