Politeness, for Javanese people is very important. Javanese culture highly upholds politeness or Eastern customs. A person's manners can be seen and assessed from their behavior (patrap) and speech (subasita/unggah-ungguh). So there is a proverb that says "Ajining raga tumata ing busana, ajining dhiri gumantung kedaling lathi", this expression implies that whether someone is good or not can be assessed from the way they dress and speak. Along with the development of the era of globalization today, Javanese cultural values ​​are increasingly being degraded. . The younger generation who are reluctant to apply the manners of Javanese language which are considered complicated, they also have difficulty using polite and respectful language (ragam krama). The reason is that manners are considered difficult so that they (especially young people today) are afraid that if they apply the correct manners incorrectly, they will be considered impolite or arrogant; the second reason is that Javanese language (ungguh-ungguh) is perceived as not bringing progress to their future ideals. Thus, socialization of Javanese politeness was held for elementary school students, with the aim of improving students' character and instilling politeness from an early age. Socialization was carried out for students in grades 5 and 6 at SDN 01 Kayumas and SDN 02 Kayumas. The delivery of simple materials and direct practice made it easier for students to understand the politeness material.

Behçet's disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. This study conducts a meta-analysis aimed at elucidating the effects of social anxiety on treatment outcomes for Behçet's disease through a comprehensive synthesis of existing literature. Initially, a systematic search was performed across major electronic databases to identify relevant studies published between 2014 and 2024. Out of 1,253 initially identified articles, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 2,487 Behçet's disease patients. The meta-analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between social anxiety levels and treatment adherence for Behçet's disease (r = -0.42, p < 0.001), which was positively associated with disease symptom severity (g = 0.58, 95% CI [0.41, 0.75]). Moderator analysis indicated that the effect of social anxiety on Behçet's treatment outcomes was more pronounced in patients with mucocutaneous manifestations (Q = 7.23, p = 0.007). Additionally, social anxiety showed a strong negative correlation with patients' quality of life in health (r = -0.53, p < 0.001), with the most substantial impact observed in the social functioning domain. Furthermore, thematic analysis of the potential mechanisms underlying the relationship between anxiety and Behçet's treatment outcomes confirmed the mediating roles of patient-doctor communication barriers, increased stigma perception, and avoidance behaviour. These findings underscore the importance of assessing and addressing social anxiety in the comprehensive management of Behçet's disease. The researchers suggest that these findings could have implications for improving patient treatment and quality of life. Finally, the study supports the integration of targeted psychological interventions into standard care protocols for Behçet's disease and emphasizes the need for a biopsychosocial approach to managing this condition.
