In the learning process, there are various important aspects that must be considered, especially by teachers as transmitters of knowledge. The success of learning depends heavily on the teacher's ability to manage the classroom to create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Therefore, teachers need to choose the right learning method so that learning objectives can be achieved effectively. One method that can be used is Outdoor Learning, which is learning outside the classroom that provides opportunities for students to develop talents and creativity more broadly through direct experience in the open air. Management of the learning environment is also a crucial factor in supporting learning success. Several things that need to be considered include understanding the nature and development of student intelligence, getting to know students individually, utilizing student behavior in organizing learning, and developing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. In addition, teachers need to create an attractive classroom, utilize the environment as a learning resource, provide constructive feedback, and differentiate between students' physical and mental activities. The learning environment itself consists of indoor and outdoor environments. The indoor environment includes school facilities such as classrooms, libraries, laboratories, and auditoriums. Meanwhile, the outdoor environment includes places outside the school that can be used as learning resources, such as museums, mosques, monuments, and fields. Prospective teachers need to understand the importance of managing the learning environment and understand the various types and benefits of learning environments to support an effective learning process.  

This study aims to identify the forms of code-mixing present in the speech videos of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming, with the KOMPASTV YouTube channel serving as the data source. This phenomenon is interesting to examine because the use of code-mixing by state officials can influence public perceptions of the use of Indonesian in formal contexts, particularly in official speeches. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using the observation and note method as the data collection technique. Data analysis was conducted through several stages, namely observing, noting, and then presenting as well as describing the forms of code-switching in Vice President Gibran Rakabuming’s speech videos. The results show that the type of code-mixing that occurs is outer code-mixing, characterized by the insertion of English vocabulary. The first video contained 9 instances of code-mixing, the second video 5 instances, the third video 4 instances, the fourth video 15 instances, and the fifth video 9 instances. These findings indicate that code-mixing is a phenomenon within the field of sociolinguistics and is commonly found among bilingual and multilingual communities.

Manifest is a list of cargo contents carried by a ship, which contains the type of goods, cargo number, sender's name and recipient's address at the destination port also called a bill of lading. When handling manifest documents in the shipping world, it requires the issuance of manifests as a condition for transporting goods and the obstacle is that the cargo shrinks too much during ullage so that the final result of the load causes delays in processing manifest documents. In the research paper made by the author using the field method (Field Search) and also with the research method of library study (Library Study) obtained from references from the library of the Indonesian Maritime Polytechnic Adiguna Medan (Poltek AMI) the purpose of writing this paper is to find out how to handle liquid bulk cargo manifest documents. As well as efforts made so that the handling of manifest documents runs with smoothly organized procedures at PT Seroja Jaya Agensi Kuala Tanjung. As for efforts to run smoothly when handling manifest documents, Among them shipping instructions must be sent on time by the Shipper when the ship has not docked and before the ship loads palm oil products at jetty A Multi Nabati Asahan.

Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders in children. Long-term use of antiepileptic drugs carries the risk of Drug Related Problems (DRPs) such as drug interactions, inappropriate dosing, and untreated indications. This study aimed to identify the types and incidence of DRPs in pediatric epilepsy outpatients at Embung Fatimah General Hospital, Batam. This was a descriptive, non-experimental study with a retrospective design. Data were collected from pediatric medical records (<18 years) between January–December 2024, with a total of 45 patients. DRPs were identified using the American Society of Hospital Pharmacist (ASHP) classification. Of 45 patients, the majority were aged 1–5 years (38%) and female (53%). The most frequently used antiepileptic drug was sodium valproate (56.36%). Identification DRPs included drug interactions (63.16%), untreated indications (5.26%), and inappropriate drug selection (5.26%). No cases of overdose or failure to receive medication were found. The most dominant DRP in pediatric epilepsy patients was drug interactions, particularly between valproic acid and folic acid.

This study aims to determine and analyze the comparison of authority and characteristics between the Nusantara Capital Authority and the Labuan Bajo Authority in the administration of the Indonesian government. The type of research used in the research on the comparison of the authority of the Nusantara Capital Authority Authority and the Labuan Bajo Authority in the Implementation of Indonesian Government is still the same as the initial research proposal, namely using the type of normative law research (normative law research) which is carried out by examining library materials or secondary data.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM type 2) is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood glucose due to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. Its prevalence continues to rise worldwide, including in Indonesia. Psychological stress is known to worsen glycemic control by activating the sympathetic nervous system and increasing cortisol levels, which can cause fluctuations in blood glucose. This case report aims to describe the effect of combining Benson relaxation techniques with warm foot soaking on blood glucose regulation in a type 2 DM patient. The subject was Mrs. M, a 52-year-old woman diagnosed with type 2 DM. The intervention was conducted for seven consecutive days and consisted of daily Benson relaxation followed by warm foot soaking for 15–20 minutes. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after each session using a glucometer and analyzed descriptively. After seven days, the patient’s blood glucose level decreased from 248 mg/dL to 186 mg/dL. She also reported improved relaxation, better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and decreased fatigue. These findings suggest that Benson relaxation helps activate the parasympathetic response and reduce stress hormones, while warm foot soaking supports improved circulation and metabolic processes. In conclusion, the combination of Benson relaxation and warm foot soaking is a simple, safe, and effective complementary therapy to support blood glucose regulation in type 2 DM patients. This intervention can be integrated into self-care routines and community nursing practice as part of evidence-based non-pharmacological management.

The rapid development of communication technology has driven high demand for smartphones, including among students. Based on this, this study was formulated to answer the question: "Does brand image influence OPPO smartphone purchasing decisions among students in the Sharia Business Management Study Program at STAIN Mandailing Natal?". This study aims to analyze and measure the extent of brand image's influence on purchasing decisions. This study used a quantitative approach with a questionnaire method of 75 student respondents from the 2021-2024 intake. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, documentation, and a Likert-type questionnaire. The primary theories used were brand image theory and purchasing decision theory. Data analysis techniques used included validity, reliability, normality, heteroscedasticity, simple linear regression analysis, partial t-test, coefficient of determination (R²), and correlation tests, all using SPSS version 25.The results showed that brand image had a positive and significant effect on OPPO smartphone purchasing decisions among college students, with a calculated t value > t table (17.504 > 1.666). This means that the more favorable students' perceptions of OPPO's brand image, the higher their likelihood of purchasing the product.

Intraoperative hypotension, particularly during spinal anesthesia in cesarean sections or major surgeries, is a common complication that can adversely affect maternal hemodynamics and organ perfusion, including fetal circulation. Vasopressors such as norepinephrine, phenylephrine, and ephedrine are widely used to manage this condition. This study employed a scoping review, defined as a type of research synthesis aimed at mapping the literature on a specific topic or field, providing an opportunity to identify key concepts, research gaps, and types and sources of evidence to inform clinical practice, policy-making, and further research. A systematic search was conducted across 10 recent experimental and clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness and safety of vasopressors in adult patients, particularly ASA I–II parturients, during surgical procedures. The results indicate that norepinephrine tends to maintain blood pressure with a lower incidence of tachycardia compared to ephedrine, while phenylephrine effectively prevents systemic vascular resistance decline but may reduce heart rate and cardiac output in a dose-dependent manner. Effects on fetal cerebral perfusion and cerebral oxygenation were generally similar across vasopressors. No significant differences were observed in neonatal Apgar scores or maternal complications. In conclusion, norepinephrine and phenylephrine are effective alternatives for managing intraoperative hypotension, whereas ephedrine increases cardiac output but may elevate the risk of tachycardia. Selecting the appropriate vasopressor is crucial to ensure maternal and neonatal safety.

Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails that is often found in tropical climates such as Indonesia, including Jambi City, which has high humidity and community habits that can support fungal growth. This study aims to describe the demographic characteristics of dermatophytosis patients who received treatment at a private dermatologist and venereologist in Jambi City throughout 2023. This study used a descriptive design using secondary data from patient medical records. A total of 399 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed univariately and the results are presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The results showed that tinea corporis was the most common type of dermatophytosis, followed by tinea cruris and tinea capitis. The majority of patients were male, aged 17–25 years, had a high school education, and worked as students. The most common locations of lesions were on the trunk and groin. These findings suggest that the productive age group is more susceptible to dermatophytosis, possibly related to high physical activity, excessive sweating, and suboptimal personal hygiene. This research is expected to be the basis for planning health education regarding the prevention of fungal infections and improving clean and healthy living behavior in the community.

Toddlers are a vulnerable age group to various types of diseases due to their immune systems that are still developing. Limited utilization of medical record data and the lack of structured information regarding disease patterns in toddlers based on age and causative factors have resulted in suboptimal prevention and treatment efforts. Therefore, an approach is needed to systematically classify toddler disease data. This study aims to apply data mining techniques using the clustering method with the K-Means algorithm to group types of diseases in toddlers based on age and causative factors. The variables used in this study include toddler age, type of disease, and causative factors. The data were obtained from RSUD Dr. R. M. Djoelham Binjai and processed using MATLAB software with three clusters. The results show that the K-Means algorithm successfully groups toddler disease data into three clusters with different characteristics. The first cluster is dominated by toddlers aged 0–11 months with appendicitis caused by genetic factors. The second cluster is dominated by toddlers aged 1–3 years with diarrhea caused by environmental factors and has the largest number of members. Meanwhile, the third cluster is dominated by toddlers aged 0–11 months with sore throat caused by environmental factors. The clustering results indicate a relationship between toddler age, disease type, and causative factors, which can be used as supporting information for decision-making in the prevention and treatment of toddler diseases.

Legal protection for consumers is a crucial element in the legal relationship between business actors and the public, particularly in high-risk service sectors such as gas stove repair services. In practice, many consumers still experience losses due to negligence by service providers, whether caused by inadequate technical handling or insufficient information regarding the condition of the stove after repairs. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of legal protection available to consumers who suffer losses as a result of such negligence, as well as to determine the types of legal liability that may be imposed on gas stove repair service providers. Using a normative legal research method, this study applies both legislative and conceptual approaches. The legislative approach examines relevant laws and regulations concerning consumer protection, while the conceptual approach analyzes legal principles and expert doctrines related to liability. The findings indicate that consumer protection is provided in two forms: preventive protection, which ensures product and service safety in accordance with Indonesian National Standards (SNI), and repressive protection, which is implemented through enforcement mechanisms such as claims for compensation or dispute resolution through the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK) or the courts. Business actors who commit negligence in providing repair services can be held legally responsible based on the principles of negligence or strict liability. To strengthen consumer protection, the study recommends the establishment of derivative regulations concerning technician certification, standardized repair service procedures, and integrated supervision of safety compliance within the gas stove repair service industry.

This article examines the conceot of knowledge (ilmu) within the Islamic perspective, which holds a highliy privileged position, ranking second only to the word Tauhid (Monotheism) in Islamic teachings. his paper employs a Library Research methodology (kajian pustaka). his approach involves the assimilation, study, and in-depth analysis of various readings utilized by the author. he presence of knowledge and education profoundly influences the development of human life concepts. In the Qur'an, the word "ilmu" (knowledge/science), in its various forms, in Quran, testifying to the distinctiveness of humans as caliphs on earth. Literally, "ilmu" is defined as knowing or to know, while technically it means understanding the reality of something or the rule governing it. The ultimate source of knowledge is Allah SWT. The process of teaching knowledge from Allah can be direct (revelation/inspiration or wahyu/ilham) or indirect (through the medium of natural phenomena He created). Knowledge acquisition can be achieved through several approaches, including: practice (pengamalan), experience (pengalaman), rational (rasional using intellect/reason), emotional, and habituation (pembiasaan). Islamic scholars have classified knowledge based on its object of study and source. For instance, Ibn Sina categorized knowledge into three types: al-‘ilm al-ilahi (divine and metaphysical knowledge), al-ilm al-riyahi (mathematics), and il-‘ilm tabi’I (natural sciences). Al-Ghazali classified it into ilmu shariah and ilmu gayr al-shari’ah, which aligns with Ibn Khaldun’s division of ilmu naql (transmitted knowledge) and ilmu aqal (intellectual knowledge). This division is based on the object of study, not meant to be contradictory.
