Adolescence is a phase that is prone to experiencing FoMO behavior. FoMO experienced by adolescence has the potential to cause feelings of loss, stress, and feeling distant if they do not know about important events of other individuals or groups. The FoMO experienced by adolescence indicates that their motivational factors are not developed optimally. The motivational factor referred to is self-esteem. Someone who has high self-esteem in general will be more able to be positive in making an assessment of himself.. This research aims to find out the relationship between self-esteem and FoMO in adolescent social media users at SMA N 1 Muntilan, Magelang Regency. The population in this study is 1056 students of SMA N 1 Muntilan. From this population, the research sample was taken using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique of 286 students based on the Isaac and Michael table formula. Data collection was carried out using a modification of the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. The data was tested with product moment pearson through the SPSS 25 for windows program. The research results show that there is a significant negative relationship that is in the very weak category between self-esteem and FoMO in social media users at SMA Negeri 1 Muntilan. This means that even though adolescence have good self-esteem, it is not enough to prevent them from FoMO.

Bats belong to the order Chiroptera which is included in mammals, and which is also included in vertebrate animals that have the ability to fly. In addition, bats experience evolution, such as morphological evolution that occurs on the wings. Evolution is a change in an organism from simple to more complex. The characteristics of vertebrates are vertebrates and have symmetry, namely bilateral symmetry, and nothocord which comes from their ancestors, namely chordates. Bats are one of the most widespread mammals, although fossils of bats themselves are not widely found. Although bats are found in many other areas, molecular studies support the origin of bats from northern continents such as Asia, Europe or North America. To find out how bats can evolve and survive until now requires in-depth knowledge of theories that explain major events such as natural selection and competition by studying literature. The skull bones of bats can be distinguished based on their foods, and their echolocation abilities can also be classified into two suborders, namely Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera.

The 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election marked the fifth general election in the country, aimed at electing a new President and Vice President for the 2024–2029 term. Candidates competed to succeed the outgoing president, who had served two constitutional terms. A key aspect of this election was the candidate debates, where each candidate presented their vision, allowing the public to assess their policies. These debates were broadcast on platforms like YouTube, giving the public a space to comment. However, analyzing YouTube comments presents challenges due to the volume of data, language diversity, and informal expressions. Sentiment analysis, crucial for understanding public opinion, uses algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, which is based on Bayes' Theorem and assumes feature independence. Naïve Bayes is widely used in text analysis for its speed and simplicity. When applied to YouTube comments from the 2024 debates, the algorithm demonstrated its effectiveness, especially with a balanced dataset through random oversampling. It achieved 85.155% accuracy, high precision, recall, and an AUC of 96.8% on an 80:20 data split. Its fast classification time (0.000998 seconds) makes it suitable for real-time sentiment analysis, validating its use for political events. Future applications may incorporate advanced techniques like BERT for more sophisticated analysis.

Prior to the Third Amendment of the 1945 Constitution implemented in 2001, there were no rules governing how to resolve conflicts about the constitutional authority of state institutions in the context of Indonesian constitutionalism. In addition, there was no entity that had the authority to decide cases related to the constitutional authority of these institutions. After the Third Amendment of the 1945 Constitution, the Constitutional Court began to be used as a tool to resolve disputes related to the constitutional authority of state institutions. In the event of a dispute regarding constitutional authority, the Indonesian constitutional system provides a way to deal with state institutions when interpreting constitutional orders. In the event of such disputes, this type of research falls under the category of normative research. Constitutional disputes should always be based on the constitution as a clear and consistent source of the Constitutional Court, the public and state institutions can better understand the constitutional boundaries that apply. This is important to create a more effective legal system, where all parties, whether the government, society, or other state institutions, can carry out their roles in accordance with agreed constitutional principles. Therefore, constitutional justice upheld by the Constitutional Court does not only apply to certain cases, but also provides a clear direction for the development of state administration in Indonesia.

State-owned goods (BMN) that have been acquired must undergo proper management, which includes a series of activities such as bookkeeping, inventorying, and reporting of BMN by legal provisions. This is based on the Indonesian Minister of Finance Regulation No. 181/PMK.06/2016, Article 1, concerning the management of BMN. Optimization, in this context, refers to the goal of improving or refining existing performance to make it better than before. Therefore, the optimization of asset disposal at the AAL (Naval Academy) work unit must be implemented to ensure proper data management in Simak BMN. Over time, the value of these assets will depreciate annually, leading to the eventual disposal of BMN when they no longer hold any value or function and only incur maintenance costs compared to acquiring new BMN. At the Naval Academy, there is still a deficiency in the disposal of BMN that should have been removed from the BMN list, primarily due to insufficient coordination between work units, which results in poor reporting in the SIMAK BMN system. The researcher focuses on the Naval Academy in conducting this study within the work units in the AAL environment. This study is a qualitative descriptive research, utilizing data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that: 1) The disposal process at the Naval Academy work unit has not been carried out effectively. 2) There are still BMNs that have not been removed from the BMN list but should have been. 3) There is a lack of personnel knowledge in each work unit regarding asset disposal, disrupting the reporting process in Simak BMN.

Climate-induced migration is becoming an increasingly significant global issue, driven by environmental changes such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity. Despite its growing importance, current legal frameworks inadequately address the protection of climate migrants, leaving them vulnerable and without clear legal rights. This research aims to propose an integrated social-environmental justice framework to address the legal accountability for climate-induced migration, focusing on the recognition of migrant rights, state responsibilities, and environmental protection. The study uses a comparative legal analysis to examine legal systems across various countries and incorporates field data from climate-vulnerable coastal communities through interviews, surveys, and legal case reviews. The research finds that the proposed framework enhances migrant recognition and clarifies state responsibilities in 70% of reviewed legal cases, offering a more comprehensive solution compared to traditional environmental and human rights approaches. The framework's integration of legal, social, and environmental elements provides a holistic response to climate migration, emphasizing equity and sustainability. However, challenges such as political resistance, fragmented governance, and limited funding hinder full implementation. The study concludes by recommending that governments and international bodies adopt this framework and strengthen their commitment to legal protections and climate adaptation strategies for displaced populations. Further research should focus on refining legal frameworks, addressing implementation barriers, and expanding the scope of social-environmental justice to better support climate migrants.

The statements of Jesus on the cross represent a deeply theological aspect that must continue to be studied, understood, and applied in today’s Christian ministry. Christian ministry must not ignore the meaning of Jesus’ holy suffering as an expression of His sacrifice to redeem sinful humanity. Unfortunately, there are still some who question the authenticity of this suffering, even believing that the one who was crucified was not Jesus, but one of His disciples or another person. This perspective stands in opposition to the core teachings of the Christian faith.This study aims to narrate the peak quality of Jesus’ holy suffering through His seven last sayings on the cross. The research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach and grammatical analysis of biblical texts. Data were collected from theological literature and analyzed in light of biblical implications concerning the idea of Jesus’ suffering.The findings show that each statement of Jesus on the cross holds profound theological meaning and reflects God’s eternal plan for the redemption of human sin. A grammatical analysis of these texts strengthens the understanding that Jesus’ suffering is not only a historical event but also bears a deep spiritual significance essential for human salvation. Therefore, the teaching of Jesus’ words on the cross must become an integral part of church ministry today to strengthen the faith of believers in the truth of the Gospel.

Cyanobacteria play an important role in the evolution of the earth and biosphere. Cyanobacteria play a role in the oxygenation of the atmosphere and oceans that began since the great oxidation event. These living things are the main producers in the ocean in the past and present and are the ancestors of Chloroplasts. The morphology commonly used is still difficult to read for microfossil interpretation which makes the identification of cyanobacteria in the early fossil record still ambiguous. This study was conducted to review classical and new cyanobacterial biosignatures. In addition, this study will also analyze the fossil record of cyanobacteria mentioned earlier and the challenges of molecular approaches to modern cyanobacteria. The suggestions we provide are new calibration points for molecular clocks and strategies to increase insight into the timing and patterns of cyanobacteria evolution and oxygenic photosynthesis.

During the New Order government, Indonesia experienced a process of economic recovery after hyperinflation in the 1960s. A number of policies and programs during President Soeharto's leadership were actually successful in bringing Indonesia to a state of recovery, and they were even able to achieve various new achievements, which led to Indonesia being nicknamed the 'Asian Tiger'. However, as a result of the Asian Financial Crisis, Indonesia again fell into the abyss of an economic crisis (monetary crisis) in the 1990s. Finally, as a result of this incident, Indonesian reform occurred, marked by the fall of the authoritarian regime. From the ups and downs of the Indonesian economy during the New Order, this research reveals the influence of events and polemics that occurred at that time in relation to the current digital era. From what has been researched, it has been found that there are many positive influences, such as sustainability in managing the potential of economic resources better with the support of technology and also regarding the fact that there is a lack of digital infrastructure facilities which hinder the progress of economic productivity.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of BPOM’s mentoring programs for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the natural medicine and cosmetics sectors in navigating complex regulatory requirements to obtain product licenses. Despite the strategic role of MSMEs in supporting Indonesia’s economy, regulatory compliance remains a significant challenge, particularly due to limited resources and market access. Previous studies have highlighted the need for adaptive regulatory approaches and mentoring programs, but gaps remain in evaluating their long-term impact and inclusivity. This study offers novelty by analyzing the program’s effectiveness across diverse demographic and educational backgrounds, providing evidence-based insights into its impact. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys involving 35 MSME participants from the “Rembuk UMKM” event. The Likert-scale questionnaire assessed regulatory understanding, program effectiveness, and its impact on license readiness. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, generating insights into participant perceptions. The findings show that the mentoring program is most effective among younger participants (aged 18–25 years), scoring 4.53, while maintaining high effectiveness scores across all age groups. Educational background analysis revealed the highest scores (5.00) from vocational high school (SMK) and master’s (S2) participants, highlighting the program’s inclusivity and adaptability. However, team competence scored relatively lower (4.26), indicating the need for continuous capacity building. The study concludes that BPOM’s mentoring programs significantly enhance MSME compliance and build long-term trust, with strategic recommendations for continuous training, technology-based module development, regional collaborations, and structured feedback mechanisms. These initiatives aim to strengthen program relevance and sustainability, supporting MSMEs in achieving regulatory compliance and contributing to national economic growth.
