Pregnancy is a physiological process that involves various physical and psychological changes in women. One common psychological issue that can arise is anxiety related to body image, which can significantly influence the eating behaviors of pregnant women. This psychological challenge may lead to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and bulimia nervosa. The presence of eating disorders during pregnancy can have detrimental effects on maternal health, including nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, and an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, such as preterm birth and gestational diabetes. Additionally, these disorders can negatively impact the fetus, resulting in inadequate nutrient intake, low birth weight, and developmental delays. Therefore, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, alongside psychological support, is crucial for pregnant women. Health education, along with professional counseling and guidance from healthcare providers, plays a vital role in preventing and managing eating disorders during pregnancy. Such efforts ultimately contribute to optimal health outcomes for both the mother and the developing fetus, ensuring the well-being of both in the long term.

Social media has become a new communication space that allows for the rapid and widespread dissemination of information, including on public issues. One of the platforms that is often used is social media X (formerly Twitter), where users can express their opinions and shape public perception. This study is entitled "The Influence of Hate Speech by Admin @keretacepatid on Patrick Kluivert (National Team Coach) on the Level of Followers' Perception on Social Media X" which aims to determine how hatred influences the formation of perceptions of social media users. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method and data collection techniques through online questionnaires to followers of the @keretacepatid account. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant influence of hatred on followers' perceptions. Some respondents showed a dominant attitude, namely agreeing with the negative narrative built by the account against Patrick Kluivert, while others were in a negotiating position, namely understanding the context of the speech but still considering Kluivert's professional background as a national team coach.

The limited competence of Junior High School (SMP) teachers in Magelang City in developing contextual textbooks is a key issue hindering the achievement of locally relevant learning. Teachers primarily rely on commercial textbooks that often lack accommodation for specific regional issues and lack guidelines for independent writing. This community service aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of SMP teachers in Magelang City in compiling textbooks that meet the standards of the Merdeka Curriculum and include local content. The method employed was participatory training combined with blended mentoring over six weeks, involving 30 teachers from five schools representing various general subjects. The implementation began with a theoretical workshop on standard textbook structure, followed by intensive mentoring sessions. The results indicate a significant increase in participants' understanding of the textbook framework, with 90% of teachers independently capable of creating concept maps and chapter outlines. Crucially, 75% of participants successfully produced at least one draft chapter of a textbook rich in local content (history, culture, and geography of Magelang). This success not only increases the professional capacity of teachers but also directly impacts the availability of more relevant and specific learning resources for students, supporting the contextual implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Making lesson plans (RPPs) is an essential part of implementing the 2013 curriculum because it gives instructors a practical guidance for carrying out the learning process, which is focused on developing students' character and taking a scientific approach.  The purpose of this study is to evaluate the appropriateness and quality of the RPP that instructors created in relation to the 2013 Curriculum.  The RPP was created by teachers in several elementary and high schools using a document study approach and a descriptive qualitative research methodology. According to Permendikbud Number 14 of 2019, the majority of RPPs have incorporated the required elements, including subject identity, core and basic competencies, learning objectives, learning materials, methods, media, learning resources, learning steps, and assessment.  Authentic evaluation, literacy integration, and the application of a thorough scientific approach were nevertheless determined to have shortcomings and were not yet at their best.  These results show that in order to increase the quality of learning planning in accordance with the 2013 Curriculum's tenets, teachers' capability must be strengthened through ongoing training and professional development.

This study aims to synthesize the literature on cognitive bias in auditor decision-making from 2015–2025. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA framework, 50 scientific articles were systematically analyzed. A multi-level analysis was conducted to identify dominant types of biases, their influencing factors at the individual, organizational, and institutional levels, and effective mitigation strategies. The findings reveal four primary cognitive biases: anchoring, confirmation, overconfidence, and availability bias. Factors influencing the emergence of these biases include auditor experience and professional skepticism (micro-level), time pressure and organizational culture (meso-level), as well as professional regulations and the adoption of technology like AI (macro-level), which gives rise to automation bias. Identified mitigation strategies include bias-awareness training, the use of decision support tools, and strengthening professional skepticism through a supportive organizational culture. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of cognitive bias and offers practical implications for the development of training programs, professional policies, and audit system design in the digital era to enhance audit quality and objectivity.

Conflict management has become an increasingly important concern in various areas of life, whether in education, organizations, or society at large, especially in the face of the fast-paced dynamics of the digital age. The complexity of interactions between individuals and groups poses unique challenges that require conflict management strategies that not only focus on problem solving, but also aim to create harmony, collaboration, and increased productivity. This study aims to systematically review the literature discussing conflict management issues during the period 2020 to 2024. The two main questions asked are: (1) what are the latest trends and approaches in conflict management research, and (2) what conflict management strategies are most widely used in various social and professional contexts. The results of the review show that recent research highlights three main areas of conflict management application, namely in the context of education, the organizational work environment, and family life. Several dominant strategies that emerge include the importance of effective communication, active participation from all parties involved, the implementation of an adaptive organizational culture, and an approach based on social harmony values. Overall, this study confirms that conflict management is multidimensional and continues to evolve toward more strategic and contextual application. Future research is expected to integrate cross-disciplinary findings to develop conflict management models that are more responsive to the challenges of the digital age.

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as traditional Islamic educational institutions not only serve as places for shaping students’ character, morals, and spirituality but also hold great potential in developing community economic independence through the management of pesantren business units. These business units are a concrete manifestation of the values of independence, hard work, and responsibility taught in the pesantren’s educational process. The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the role of pesantren business units in supporting the economic self-reliance of the pesantren itself as well as their contribution to empowering the surrounding community. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach on several pesantren that have successfully developed various business units such as cooperatives, agriculture, livestock, garment production, and student shops. The results show that pesantren business units function not only as a means of entrepreneurship education for students but also as a primary source of funding to support the operational activities of the pesantren. In addition, they act as the driving force of the local economy by creating employment opportunities, increasing income, and promoting community-based economic empowerment. The success of pesantren business units is influenced by professional management, strong leadership support, and the ability to innovate and adapt to changing times.

This study aims to integrate Prophetic guidance (Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad into the development of a Maqāṣid-Based Budgeting Framework, focusing on the balance between efficiency and social responsibility in Islamic financial management. Using a qualitative thematic approach to relevant hadiths on trust (amānah), professionalism (itqān), prohibition of extravagance (isrāf), and distributive justice, the study reveals that efficiency in Islam extends beyond cost reduction toward the optimization of maslahah ‘āmmah (public welfare). Meanwhile, social responsibility serves as an ethical foundation ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in fiscal decision-making. The integration of Prophetic values with theories of Islamic Fiscal Management and Public Finance Efficiency enhances the conceptual strength of Islamic budgeting as a model of balanced financial governance. Thus, budgeting in the maqāṣid and Prophetic perspective is not merely a technical instrument but also a spiritual and social tool for achieving just, efficient, and ethically grounded financial management.
