Early childhood development (0–6 years) is a critical period that shapes a child’s physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, language, and moral growth. The family, as the first educational environment, plays a vital role in shaping the child’s character and adaptive skills, particularly through parent–child interactions. In Muslim communities, child-rearing focuses on not only psychological aspects but also reinforcing religious values through Islamic Parenting, which is based on the principles of rahmah (compassion), uswah (exemplary behavior), guidance, and ‘adl (justice), as outlined in the Qur’an and Hadith. This study uses a qualitative literature review to analyze the role of Islamic Parenting in early childhood development, highlighting the significance of these values. The review shows that Islamic Parenting plays a crucial role in optimizing children’s holistic development, including cognitive, social, emotional, moral, and spiritual aspects. Key components of this model include parental exemplification, compassion, religious education, positive behavior habituation, and cognitive stimulation through educational interactions. This model can be implemented through daily practices such as prayers, storytelling, and character reinforcement. In conclusion, Islamic Parenting fosters not just biological caregiving but also character, morality, and spirituality, preparing children for contemporary challenges.

Early childhood development screening is an important effort to ensure optimal development during a child's golden age, which includes physical, motor, language, cognitive, and socio-emotional aspects. Early Childhood Education (PAUD) teachers play a key role in implementing early detection, given their intensive interaction with children during learning activities. However, early detection in PAUD institutions faces challenges such as limited teacher competencies, non-standardized screening instruments, and suboptimal cross-sector collaboration. This study aims to examine the role of teachers in early childhood development screening at RA Arrahmah using a qualitative approach and case study. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation with the head of RA and class teachers during October-November. The results show that teachers have carried out early detection in an integrated manner through continuous observations. However, the use of standardized screening instruments has not been optimal and still relies on informal observations. Major challenges include limited training, individual observation time, and the lack of a structured early detection program. This study concludes that strengthening teacher competencies, integrating early detection into institutional policies, and enhancing collaboration with parents and healthcare professionals are necessary to optimize early childhood development screening sustainably.

The development of the modern world, characterized by advances in digital technology, globalization, and complex social dynamics, has created new challenges in child-rearing practices, particularly for Muslim families. Children require not only the fulfillment of physical needs and formal education, but also balanced emotional, social, and spiritual support. This study aims to examine the concept of child-rearing based on love and compassion from the perspective of Islamic psychology, identify the core principles of Islamic parenting, and explain its implications for children’s psychological development. This research employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method with a systematic literature review design. Data sources were obtained from academic books as well as nationally accredited journals and reputable international journals published between 2020 and 2024. The data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis to identify patterns, key concepts, and relationships among variables. The findings indicate that parenting grounded in love and compassion (rahmah), combined with role modeling, justice, and wisdom in discipline, contributes positively to children’s emotional, social, moral, and spiritual development. Warm and responsive Islamic parenting supports the development of effective emotional regulation, prosocial behavior, and the internalization of faith-based and moral values in children. The results also demonstrate a strong alignment between Islamic parenting concepts and the compassionate parenting approach in modern psychology, with Islamic psychology offering a distinctive strength in its spiritual dimension. This study contributes to the reinforcement of the theoretical framework of Islamic psychology and provides practical recommendations for parents and educators in implementing balanced parenting that integrates compassion, discipline, and Islamic values in the modern era.

The increasing proportion of the elderly population in Indonesia has led to a rise in degenerative health problems, one of which is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by decreased bone density, increasing the risk of fractures, particularly among elderly women. Low calcium intake, lack of physical activity, and limited knowledge regarding osteoporosis prevention are major contributing factors. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of Aisyiyah women in Cirebon Regency regarding osteoporosis in the elderly, including its definition, risk factors, impacts, and prevention strategies through proper nutrition and regular physical activity. The activity was conducted from October to December at the Aisyiyah Study Hall in Cirebon Regency, targeting pre-elderly and elderly women. The methods used included health education through lectures and interactive question-and-answer sessions, supported by laptops, LCD projectors, and PowerPoint presentations. Evaluation of participants’ knowledge was carried out using oral pre-tests and post-tests related to the delivered material. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of osteoporosis, the importance of adequate calcium intake, and the role of physical activity in maintaining bone health. This community service program is expected to contribute to increasing health awareness and reducing the risk and prevalence of osteoporosis among the elderly.

This Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to improve the competence of mathematics teachers at Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) in Lumajang Regency in developing ethnomathematics-based teaching materials integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) technology. This program was initiated due to the minimal use of local culture in mathematics learning and the low ability of teachers to develop innovative teaching materials. The activity was carried out in four main stages: socialization, training, technology application, and mentoring and evaluation. The training included an introduction to the concept of ethnomathematics, the preparation of differentiated teaching materials, and the creation of AR-based learning media using Unity 3D, Blender, Geogebra, and Vuforia. The results of the activity showed an increase in teachers' understanding of the concept of ethnomathematics and their ability to integrate the local cultural values of Lumajang into mathematics learning. In addition, teachers successfully produced contextual AR-based interactive teaching materials in line with the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Stunting is a health issue that remains a concern for the government, particularly in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely the nutritional status of children under five. Stunting, or chronic malnutrition, causes children to fail to grow, which is influenced by mothers' knowledge of nutritional fulfillment in children, especially from the first 1,000 days of birth until the child is 2 years old. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education on parents in preventing stunting in Sumeith Pasinaro Village. The targets of this study were pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and parents who had children aged 1-5 years. This study used a One Group Pre-test-Post-test design with paired sample t-test analysis. There were 12 participants in the activity. Data were collected through a multiple-choice questionnaire administered before and after the socialization with the material “Prevent Stunting from the Heart.” The average pre-test score of the participants was 6.75 and then increased to 9.33 on the post-test, with a difference of 2.58. The paired sample t-test results showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.014 (< 0.05), indicating a significant increase in participants' knowledge after receiving education. Therefore, health education through socialization activities is effective in increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting prevention. Activities like this are important to continue as an effort to reduce the incidence of stunting in the community.

The application of Scripture Therapy, devotional counseling, and Healing Prayer Circles has proven effective in reducing anxiety levels, strengthening spiritual security, and fostering healthy social relationships. A holistic and collaborative pastoral approach involving professional support is essential for the church to create a safe environment that promotes recovery and spiritual growth among youth.

This research aims to analyze the adaptive role of a dance teacher in teaching the subject of music art at SMK Asta Mitra Purwodadi, as well as identifying the patterns of collaborative approaches and the implementation of the Deep Learning strategy in the learning process. This phenomenon attracts researchers due to the case of a teacher teaching cross-disciplinary subjects, although still within the domain of the arts. This study employs a qualitative method using observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation techniques. The main subject of this research is Bu Evi, a dance teacher who also serves as the music art instructor. The research results indicate that the non-specialist teacher (with a dance background) successfully overcomes limitations in teaching music by performing a role transformation into a facilitator focusing on expression, rhythm, and performance. The implementation of Deep Learning is realized effectively through a kinesthetic approach, where abstract music concepts (such as tempo and dynamics) are translated through body movement exploration, which is proven to increase student enthusiasm and understanding. Furthermore, the teacher implements a strategic collaborative pattern with the music extracurricular teacher, where responsibilities are divided between aspects of expression/movement and the deepening of theory/vocal technique, ensuring talented students still receive adequate technical development. Assessment focuses on performative aspects (expression, tempo, teamwork, and self-confidence). This research concludes that the teacher's professionalism and pedagogical creativity are the main keys to bridging competency gaps, while simultaneously ensuring the achievement of the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum in shaping student character and 21st-century skills.

This study aims to describe users' experiences and perceptions regarding the presence of malicious comments on social media, particularly on TikTok and Instagram. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using Google Forms containing eight open-ended questions, then analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach through thematic analysis. The results showed that all respondents had and frequently encountered malicious comments, especially on viral content or creator accounts with large followings. The most common forms of malicious comments included body shaming, insults, defamation, and belittling and demeaning comments. Respondents expressed various emotional reactions such as discomfort, sadness, anger, and pity, although a small number felt normal due to their familiarity with the phenomenon. Factors that drive someone to make malicious comments include following the crowd (FOMO), envy, personal dislike, and the ease of expressing negative opinions on social media. Malicious comments also impact user comfort, with most feeling disturbed and uncomfortable. Respondents' responses to malicious comments included ignoring, responding positively to reprimands, blocking accounts, or reporting the comments. Respondents also proposed several efforts to reduce malicious comments, such as limiting or closing the comment section and increasing education regarding social media ethics. Overall, this study confirms that malicious comments are a common phenomenon on social media and need to be addressed through better personal awareness and digital literacy.

This study examines the teacher's strategy in guiding the memorization of prayer prayers in early childhood at RA Muslimat NU Banin Banat Manyar through a qualitative case study approach. The main focus is the application of the practice (repetition) and habituation method, which was observed for 6-8 weeks in 35 children in group AB (aged 4-6 years), including participant observation, in-depth interviews with 4 teachers and 5 parents, and analysis of RPP documentation and murojaah videos. The results show that the practice method is applied rhythmically daily (3x / day, 10-15 minutes), starting from simple pronunciations such as iftitah and ruku' with 20-30 repetitions per chain cycle, resulting in an average increase in memorization from 42% to 91%, with variations in singing and movements reducing boredom by 27%. Meanwhile, integrated habituation through congregational prayer routines (Dhuha, Zuhur simulation, Ashar), independent ablution, and home supervision, achieved 89% of children's independence in becoming mini imams after 21 days consistently, supported by verbal rewards and gender row rotation. The discussion confirmed alignment with Piaget's theory (preoperational stage) and Vygotsky's (ZPD scaffolding), where drills build sensory memory schemes while habituation forms permanent religious character ala Abdullah Nasih Ulwan. Supporting factors include parental collaboration and a conducive NU environment, overcoming the obstacle of low concentration. Practical implications recommend replicating this strategy in similar RAs to optimize the golden age of Islamic early childhood, with memorization retention of 8-10 basic prayer prayers.

This study aims to identify factors associated with fast food consumption behavior among adolescents based on the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) through a literature review. A descriptive literature review was conducted using nine peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025, retrieved from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The findings indicate that adolescent fast food consumption behavior is influenced by two main components of SCT, namely personal factors and environmental factors. Personal factors were predominantly examined through the knowledge variable, which showed inconsistent associations with fast food consumption, while other personal variables, although mostly related, lacked consistent empirical support across studies. In contrast, environmental factors demonstrated more consistent associations, particularly peer influence, mass media exposure, parental influence, and pocket money, which were repeatedly identified as significant determinants of fast food consumption among adolescents. In conclusion, adolescent fast food consumption behavior is more strongly influenced by environmental factors than by personal factors, highlighting the importance of multi-level interventions that address social and environmental contexts in shaping healthy eating behaviors among adolescents.

The management of borrowing and returning goods in government institutions is still largely carried out manually, which often gives rise to various problems, such as difficulties in tracking borrowing histories, the high risk of recording errors, and the lack of transparency regarding the availability of goods. This condition indicates the need for support from an information system that is capable of assisting the recording process and inventory management in a more structured, systematic, and easily monitored manner. This research aims to design a prototype of a goods borrowing and returning application as an initial solution to these problems as well as a preliminary representation of a system that can be further developed by the institution. The research method used is a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a prototype Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model, which allows system development to be carried out gradually and flexibly in accordance with user needs. Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews to obtain an overview of the ongoing work processes and to identify the required system needs. The collected data were then analyzed as the basis for designing the system workflow, data structure, and user interface design. The results of this research are in the form of an application prototype that represents the main system features, including goods borrowing, goods returning, availability checking, goods data management, and report generation.

The development of digital technology has driven the transformation of financial services, including in Islamic microfinance institutions. One form of innovation is the implementation of mobile banking services, which aims to improve transaction efficiency and digital financial literacy among the public. This study aims to analyze customer perceptions of the Mobile UGT service program at BMT UGT Nusantara Labang Branch and its role in improving digital financial literacy among the public. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of five active customers who have used the Mobile UGT service. The results show that customers generally have a positive perception of the Mobile UGT service. The application is considered easy to use, practical, and able to facilitate various financial transactions such as checking balances, transferring funds, and making payments, without having to come directly to the BMT office. In addition to increasing transaction efficiency, the use of Mobile UGT also contributes to improving customers' digital financial literacy, as reflected in their increased understanding of income and expenditure management, budget planning, utilization of digital transaction features, and awareness of data and account security. However, this study also found several obstacles, mainly related to technical disruptions to the application and internet network limitations. Overall, the Mobile UGT service plays an important role in supporting customers' financial independence and digital financial inclusion. This study recommends strengthening technological infrastructure and continuing education programs to optimize the benefits of digital financial services in the BMT environment.

This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research synthesizes findings from five scientific articles that focus on the vital role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in overcoming the crisis and moral decadence among the Young Generation triggered by the minimal internalization of positive values in education, the lack of family roles, and the challenges of the digital era. The results of the synthesis show that overcoming the moral crisis requires a comprehensive approach, including: first, Affective Approach: PAI must transform from a cognitive focus to an Affective Approach based on the core values of the Qur'an (Ihsan, Rahmah, Tawadhu', Sabr, Amanah) to touch students' spirituality; second, Social Integration: PAI must be integrated with social reality to foster social piety through community-based programs (mosques) that ground Islamic values contextually; and third, Digital Adaptation: PAI teachers play a strategic role as moral role models and are required to adapt to the digital era through strategies for utilizing interactive technology and forming positive digital communities to overcome the influence of negative social media content. Overall, PAI is a central pillar whose effectiveness depends on strong collaboration between educational environments and the ability of teachers to be technologically literate spiritual-affective guides.

This study seeks to analyze the ideas and practices of transnational Islamic educational ideologies and their impact on Islamic educational institutions across diverse local settings. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, the research systematically reviews a range of relevant scholarly sources, including peer-reviewed journal articles, dissertations, and research reports published between 2014 and 2024. The findings demonstrate that transnational movements such as Salafism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hizbut Tahrir significantly influence curriculum design, religious orientation, and the institutional culture of Islamic education. Nevertheless, this influence does not operate in a straightforward or uniform manner; instead, it is shaped through continuous negotiation with local contexts, particularly via state regulations, sociocultural conditions, and adaptive educational practices. The study highlights that local actors actively reinterpret and mediate transnational ideological frameworks to align them with national educational policies and community needs. Overall, this research offers comprehensive insights into the complex interactions between transnational Islamic ideologies and the ongoing transformation of contemporary Islamic education in different socio-political environments.

This sociolinguistic study examines patterns of regional language interference in formal Indonesian usage across bilingual areas of Indonesia. Through a mixed-methods approach, this research analyzes oral and written data from 240 participants across three strategic bilingual regions: Javanese-Indonesian, Sundanese-Indonesian, and Batak-Indonesian. Data were collected through structured interviews, ethnographic observations, and corpus analysis of formal documents. Quantitative analysis employed linguistic corpus software to identify frequency patterns and interference distribution, while qualitative analysis applied ethnography of communication approaches to understand social contexts and functions of interference in communicative interactions. Findings reveal systematic interference typologies that vary according to linguistic domains. Phonological interference demonstrates the highest resistance to formal register constraints (78% consistency), with Batak-Indonesian speakers showing the highest interference rates (85%), followed by Javanese-Indonesian (74%), and Sundanese-Indonesian (71%). Lexical interference occurs in 65% of samples with significant variation based on communication domains, where Sundanese-Indonesian shows the highest rates (72%). Morphological interference is found in 52% of cases, particularly in affixation and reduplication systems. Syntactic interference shows the highest sensitivity to situational formality, decreasing from 45% in semi-formal communication to 28% in strict formal contexts. Research implications indicate the need for reorienting language policy from corrective approaches toward recognizing interference productivity. Language policies should develop flexible standards that accommodate regional variations and promote positive attitudes toward multilingualism. In educational contexts, integration of contrastive approaches in Indonesian language learning is required, along with development of instructional materials sensitive to students' linguistic backgrounds, and teacher training on managing productive versus corrective interference.This research contributes to Indonesian sociolinguistics through providing comprehensive empirical databases, developing innovative theoretical frameworks, and replicable methodologies for language contact analysis. Findings confirm that regional language interference in formal Indonesian constitutes a productive phenomenon reflecting Indonesia's multilingual vitality. Approaches that recognize productive aspects of interference while optimizing formal communication effectiveness become key to developing language strategies responsive to contemporary multilingual Indonesian realities.

The capital market plays a strategic role in supporting national economic growth through its function of raising funds and providing investment vehicles for the public. However, the integrity of the capital market is often threatened by the practice of insider trading, which involves securities transactions conducted using material, non-public information by certain parties for personal gain. This practice violates the principles of fairness and transparency and has the potential to harm public investors and undermine confidence in the capital market. This study aims to analyze the law enforcement mechanisms for insider trading in the Indonesian capital market and examine legal protection efforts for investors. The research method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach through a literature review of laws and regulations, scientific journals, books, and publications from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results indicate that law enforcement against insider trading is carried out through mechanisms of supervision, investigation, and the imposition of administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement still faces various challenges, particularly in proving the use of insider information and the complexity of transaction technology. Furthermore, insider trading negatively impacts investor confidence and capital market stability. Investor protection efforts are implemented through a preventative approach, including information disclosure, supervision, and investor education, as well as a repressive approach through legal sanctions, dispute resolution, and whistleblower protection. This research is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of capital market law and practical recommendations for strengthening law enforcement and investor protection in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the implementation of Law Number 16 of 2019 on Marriage and socioeconomic status with public awareness of early marriage in Wirosari District, Grobogan Regency. The phenomenon of early marriage in this area remains high despite the existence of regulations that set a minimum marriage age. A quantitative approach was used, with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research population consisted of 169 couples who married early in the last three years, with a sample of 43 couples selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using the product moment correlation test to determine the relationships between the variables. The results show that the implementation of Law Number 16 of 2019 has no significant relationship with public awareness of early marriage, indicating that despite the existence of the regulation, the public's understanding of the importance of the minimum marriage age is still not optimal. Conversely, socioeconomic status has a positive and significant relationship with public awareness, indicating that the higher the socioeconomic status, the higher the public's awareness of the negative impacts of early marriage.
