The empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a strategic effort to enhance the capacity and independence of business actors in supporting sustainable economic development. However, based on data from Rumah BUMN Aceh Utara, out of a total of 413 assisted MSMEs, only 9.16% have successfully upgraded their business status, while 90.84% have not yet done so. This study aims to describe MSME empowerment through the assistance program of Rumah BUMN Aceh Utara and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving Rumah BUMN managers and MSME actors, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The results show that MSME empowerment in Rumah BUMN Aceh Utara is based on Suharto’s theory, which consists of three main approaches, namely empowering through training and mentoring that contributes to the improvement of business actors’ capacities, protecting through business legality facilitation, and supporting through the provision of production facilities, packaging machines, access to capital, promotion, and MSME gallery facilities, although these have not yet been fully optimized. The supporting factors of MSME empowerment include institutional support, technological development, and MSME participation, while the inhibiting factors include limited human resources, limited funding, and low participation of some MSME actors. This study emphasizes the importance of improving the quality of mentoring, optimizing the utilization of facilities, and increasing MSME participation to support the sustainability of empowerment programs.

Birth certificate ownership is a fundamental right of every citizen and an essential requirement for accessing various public services. However, the coverage of birth certificate ownership in North Central Timor Regency has not yet reached the national target. To address this issue, the Department of Population and Civil Registration of North Central Timor Regency implemented the Mobile Service Program (Jemput Bola) as an initiative to bring civil registration services closer to the community.

Sharia financial literacy is an important aspect in supporting inclusive and sustainable economic development. However, the level of sharia financial literacy among Indonesian society is still relatively low. This condition creates opportunities for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to play a strategic role in improving young generations’ understanding of financial management based on sharia principles. Therefore, this community service activity aimed to enhance the sharia financial literacy and inclusion of students through the SAKINAH (Santri Cakap Literasi Keuangan Syariah) Program at Nurul Abshor Islamic Boarding School, Katingan Regency. The program was implemented using a participatory educational approach through socialization, interactive discussions, simple simulations, and participant evaluations. The activity was carried out through collaboration among the Financial Services Authority (OJK) of Central Kalimantan Province, the Islamic Economic Society of Katingan Regency, PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Palangka Raya, Nurul Abshor Islamic Boarding School, the Regional Financial Access Acceleration Team of Katingan Regency, and students of Palangka Raya University. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the importance of saving, the ability to distinguish between needs and wants, sharia financial management, and knowledge of legal and trustworthy sharia financial products and services. The SAKINAH Program was also considered effective in encouraging students to become agents of sharia financial literacy within the pesantren environment and the wider community.

Mental health disorders remain a significant public health concern in Indonesia due to their increasing prevalence and substantial impact on individuals, families, and communities. These disorders can impair a person's ability to think clearly, regulate emotions, behave appropriately, and interact effectively with others. Among the various symptoms experienced by individuals with mental disorders, hallucinations are one of the most common and challenging because they can interfere with daily functioning and increase the risk of relapse if not properly managed. Families play a crucial role in supporting patients through appropriate care, supervision, and adherence to treatment. Therefore, improving family knowledge about hallucination management is essential to enhance patient outcomes. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the knowledge of families and patients regarding the care and management of hallucinations at the Abepura Mental Hospital (RSK Abepura). The activity was conducted through direct mental health education and counseling sessions involving interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. A total of 63 participants, consisting of patients and their family members visiting the hospital, took part in the program. The evaluation demonstrated that approximately 75% of participants actively engaged in the educational sessions, showed high enthusiasm, and were able to correctly answer the evaluation questions, indicating an improvement in their understanding of hallucination management. These findings suggest that mental health education is an effective strategy for enhancing family knowledge and supporting better care for patients with hallucinations.

This study aims to explore the perceptions and meanings of maslahah (public welfare) values in the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) at SD Negeri 030413 Salak, Pakpak Bharat Regency, North Sumatra Province. Pakpak Bharat Regency records a stunting prevalence of 28.9% far exceeding the national average of 19.8% while most beneficiary families are low-income and lack adequate access to nutritious food. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving nine informants. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with interpretation based on the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah framework. The findings reveal five integrated dimensions of maslahah: fulfillment of ḥifẓ al-nafs through improvements in students’ physical health; strengthening of ḥifẓ al-ʿaql through increased concentration and learning readiness; preservation of ḥifẓ al-nasl through early intervention against stunting; realization of ḥifẓ al-dīn through religious practices accompanying the program; and protection of ḥifẓ al-māl through reduced household expenditure. Overall, the MBG Program functions not only as a nutritional intervention but also as a public policy aligned with maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, contributing to the multidimensional achievement of falah.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) orientation program at the Jambi Province Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM).

These obstacles affect the optimization of the learning process and the effectiveness of the online orientation activities. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the quality of program implementation through the development of more interactive learning methods, the provision of adequate facilities, and further evaluation and mentoring to improve the competence and professionalism of ASN.

This study aims to describe Sundanese language learning discourse in the eleventh grade at SMA Negeri 8 Bandung city based on the components of learning discourse. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation using the non-participatory observation method (SBLC) and recording techniques. The data consisted of recorded utterances during Sundanese language learning activities, which were then transcribed into written form. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and hermeneutic techniques. The results showed that the learning process consisted of opening, core, and closing activities using the Cooperative Learning model. The components of learning discourse identified included opening and closing conversations, participant cooperation, speech acts, and the nature of utterance sequences. The interaction demonstrated the use of quantity and quality maxims, locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts, as well as chained utterance sequences in the form of question-and-answer interactions between teacher and students. The findings also revealed that the learning process tended to be teacher-centered, as the teacher was more dominant in directing classroom interaction, although the communication remained interactive and supported the achievement of learning objectives.

This study aims to describe the level of understanding of grade IV students of SD HKBP Perdamean regarding environmental pollution. The research method used is descriptive with a focus on depicting student understanding based on the indicators that have been set. The research data shows that students' understanding is in the category quite well, although it is not even in every indicator. Students better understand aspects of direct action such as keeping the environment clean, planting trees, and saving on the use of plastic. However, understanding of the causes and impacts of environmental pollution, such as littering, river pollution, waste incineration, and air pollution, is still relatively low. In general, the results of the study show that students' understanding is still dominant in simple practical knowledge, so it does not fully cover the concept of environmental pollution and causes. These findings underscore the need for more contextual, student-centered, and hands-on learning that integrates real-world experiences with scientific concepts. Thus, a more interactive and environment-based learning strategy is expected to improve students' overall understanding of environmental pollution and its impact on life.

Implications emphasize the importance of adequate technological facilities and teacher training to utilize digital media and discussion methods to create enjoyable and interactive learning.

Collaboration between classroom teachers and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers constitutes an essential strategy for instilling religious moderation values in elementary schools. This study aims to: (1) describe the forms of collaboration developed between classroom teachers and PAI teachers; (2) assess the effectiveness of such collaboration in inculcating religious moderation values; (3) identify changes in students' attitudes as tangible outcomes of collaboration; and (4) analyze supporting and inhibiting factors of collaboration at SDN 3 Wanamekar. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied using field study methods. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document review. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data credibility was ensured through source triangulation and technique triangulation. Findings indicate that collaboration occurs in two primary forms: reactive collaboration as a spontaneous response to students' intolerant behavior, and planned collaboration involving curriculum coordination, partial co-teaching, and joint evaluation. Collaboration was assessed as sufficiently effective yet suboptimal due to time constraints and excessive administrative burdens. Positive changes in students' tolerance and inclusive attitudes were identified as concrete outcomes. Supporting factors include favorable interpersonal communication, principal support, and moderation value integration in the Merdeka Curriculum. Main inhibiting factors are time limitations, administrative burdens, shallow conceptual understanding of religious moderation, and the absence of a standardized collaboration model. The study recommends establishing structured collaboration schedules and religious moderation training programs for all teachers.

Learning planning is a strategic component of instructional management because it guides teachers in linking objectives, materials, learning strategies, media, and assessment with students' characteristics. In practice, however, learning plans are often prepared individually and tend to be administrative, so teachers have limited opportunities to reflect on pedagogical decisions with colleagues. This study aims to describe and analyze collaborative-based learning planning management in improving teachers' pedagogical competence at SD Negeri Batujaya. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study strategy. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The field data show that SD Negeri Batujaya has nine educators and education personnel consisting of one principal, six classroom teachers, and two subject teachers. The school also holds a teacher learning community twice a month. The findings indicate that collaborative planning is supported by the principal's academic leadership, the small number of teachers that enables intensive coordination, and the existence of a routine learning community. Collaboration helps teachers discuss teaching modules, student characteristics, learning strategies, media, and assessment. The main constraints are limited time, unequal teacher participation, and limited learning facilities. The study implies that a structured learning community can serve as a practical managerial strategy for strengthening teachers' pedagogical competence in elementary schools.

The wave of digitalization triggers a severe morality crisis among the younger generation through constant exposure to negative content, cyberbullying, and global communication ethics degradation. This descriptive qualitative study aims to analyze the specific internalization of Christian values at GPIB Harapan Kasih Congregation Bekasi to shield youth morality amidst ongoing technological disruption. Employing intensive in-depth interviews and participatory observations, data were analyzed interactively through systemic reduction, structured display, and final verification. The results indicate that the digital morality crisis explicitly manifests as pornography normalization, virtual toxicity, and the severe erosion of academic honesty. In response, pastoral strategies utilizing highly contextualized digital ethics sermons and youth cell groups prove thoroughly effective. The deep internalization of self-control and integrity successfully stimulates a holistic self-censorship mechanism across the youth's cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains. This study concludes that consistent accountability-based mentorship effectively transforms Christian youth from passive digital victims into active agents of change within global cyberspace.
