The campus atmosphere significantly affects students' motivation for learning, influencing their academic experiences, mental health, and social relationships. This study explores how the campus environment impacts students' learning motivation through a literature review approach. The campus atmosphere is a multifaceted concept that includes physical, educational, and social aspects. A conducive physical environment, with well-maintained facilities and adequate learning spaces, enhances students' comfort and focus. The educational environment, particularly the interaction between lecturers and students, teaching methods, and institutional support, plays a key role in students' motivation and involvement. Additionally, the social environment, which includes friendships and a sense of belonging to the campus community, fosters intrinsic motivation and positive learning attitudes. Using a literature review approach, this study analyzes academic sources such as peer-reviewed journals, theses, and scholarly articles on the campus environment and student motivation. The findings indicate that a supportive campus atmosphere enhances students' motivation to learn, while a negative atmosphere can lead to decreased motivation and poor academic involvement. Universities should focus on creating and maintaining a supportive campus atmosphere to improve students' learning motivation and academic success.

Bullying in school environments is a crucial issue that causes physical and emotional harm to victims and perpetuates cycles of aggression, with peer pressure identified as one of the main predictors. This study aims to address gaps in the literature regarding the specific role of peer pressure in shaping bullying behavior in Indonesian schools through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, analyzing 21 research articles published between 2021 and 2026 from Google Scholar. The findings indicate that adolescents with high peer pressure are 3.48 times more likely to engage in bullying, and high peer conformity contributes to 44.4% of bullying cases. However, peer influence is dual-sided—positive interactions based on empathy and mutual respect can reduce bullying behavior. The impacts of bullying include depression, anxiety, and declining academic performance in victims, as well as legal issues and difficulties in interpersonal relationships in perpetrators. The study concludes that collaboration among various stakeholders is essential to manage peer group norms and dynamics as part of culturally contextual bullying prevention efforts in Indonesia.

Indiscipline in learning behavior is a form of problematic behavior that is commonly found in the school environment and has the potential to hinder the effectiveness of the learning process. This issue does not arise suddenly; rather, it develops gradually through processes influenced by various factors. This article aims to examine the problem of indiscipline in learning through a review and analysis of relevant research findings. The study uses a literature review method by collecting, examining, and analyzing journals and scientific references that discuss learning discipline and students’ indisciplined behavior. The results indicate that indiscipline in learning activities is influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include low interest and motivation, poor study habits, weak values and morals, as well as students’ physical and psychological conditions. Meanwhile, external factors include family situations, peer influence, the school environment, the use of technology, and inconsistent enforcement of rules. The observable behaviors include arriving late, skipping school without clear reasons, violating school regulations, and showing a lack of responsibility. Therefore, addressing the problem of indiscipline in learning requires a comprehensive and sustainable approach involving both schools and families.

This community service program was conducted by Group 7 of KKN ITB Ahmad Dahlan Lamongan in Bapuhbandung Village, Glagah District, Lamongan Regency, aiming to address environmental and public health issues through the utilization of ecobricks and the cultivation of family medicinal plants (TOGA). The main problems identified were low awareness of plastic waste management and the underutilization of home yards for medicinal plants. The program applied a participatory assistance method involving students, parents, youth, and village officials throughout the stages of observation, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed that more than 300 ecobricks were produced and assembled into an installation forming the word “BAPUHBANDUNG,” which now serves as a new village icon. In addition, medicinal plants such as ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass were planted around the installation area and residents’ yards. The evaluation indicated high community participation, good-quality ecobricks, and positive initial growth of TOGA. This program not only produced physical outputs but also increased community awareness of plastic waste management, family health independence, and the strengthening of village identity.

Patient experience reflects patient’s comprehensive perceptions of service quality, the physical environment, and communication with healthcare providers. This study was motivated by the need to foster positive patient experience in the Pharmacy Installation of Graha Sehat Hospital, Probolinggo through improvements in service quality, servicescape, and effective communication. The objective of this research was to analyze the effects of service quality and servicescape on patient experience, with effective communication serving as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS. A total of 180 outpatient pharmacy patients were selected through voluntary sampling, with the sample size determined based on Hair’s method. The findings indicate that service quality, servicescape, and effective communication simultaneously exert a positive and significant effect on patient experience. Partially, service quality has a positive and significant effect on patient experience, while servicescape does not have a direct significant effect on patient experience. Effective communication, however, demonstrates a positive and significant influence on patient experience. Furthermore, effective communication significantly mediates the relationship between servicescape and patient experience, but it does not mediate the relationship between service quality and patient experience. The managerial implications for hospital management highlight the need to strengthen service quality improvement strategies, optimize spatial layout and environmental comfort in the pharmacy setting, and establish concise communication standards that include essential medication counseling points. Such measures are necessary to ensure that communication quality remains consistent, even during peak patient volume periods with limited-service time.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is an important element in creating a safe, healthy, and sustainable work environment. PT. X as a logistics and port operations company has potential occupational hazards originating from physical, chemical, and biological factors that need to be managed optimally. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of OHS at PT. X based on the results of measurements of physical, chemical, and biological factors of the work environment and their compliance with the provisions of the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 5 of 2018.

The results show that most parameters meet the specified standards, with the exception of the generator area which exceeds the noise limit and the hot work climate which exceeds the Action Level (AL). The implementation of OHS at PT. X has been running quite well, indicated by most of the work environment parameters that meet the standards. However, strengthening risk controls, particularly regarding noise and hot working conditions in operational areas, is still necessary. This evaluation is expected to serve as a basis for continuous improvement in the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) to protect workers from potential occupational hazards and support the productivity and sustainability of company operations.

Teenage brawls have become an increasingly urgent social issue, considering the destructive impact they cause. This study aims to explore the causes and negative impacts of student brawls through a literature review. By analyzing 20 related academic articles, it was found that the triggers of brawls can be divided into two main dimensions. The internal dimension includes factors such as deindividuation, identity crisis, and low self-regulation, while the external dimension encompasses ineffective parenting styles, peer influence, and provocation through social media. The impact of brawls is significant, not only on physical aspects and fatalities but also on psychological disturbances, moral decline, stigmatization, and serious legal consequences. This study concludes that a comprehensive intervention approach is needed, involving school counseling services, education on better parenting, and community monitoring to reduce the tendency for teenage aggression. This strategy is expected to address the root causes of brawls in a more structured and effective manner, creating a safer environment and supporting positive teenage development.

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has positioned e-commerce as a primary shopping channel, with Shopee emerging as the most popular platform in Indonesia. In the context of online fashion purchases, consumers face inherent limitations due to the inability to physically inspect or try products. Consequently, product ratings and reviews function as critical forms of social proof, helping to reduce uncertainty and perceived purchasing risk. This study investigates the influence of product ratings and reviews on purchasing decisions for fashion products on Shopee, focusing on undergraduate students at Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang. Employing an associative quantitative approach, data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire distributed to 100 purposively selected respondents who had purchased fashion products on Shopee within the last three months.

Statistical analyses include validity and reliability testing, correlation analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The study’s findings are expected to offer both practical insights for e-commerce businesses in developing effective digital communication strategies and theoretical contributions to the understanding of digital consumer behavior in the e-commerce environment.

Islamic boarding schools (Islamic boarding schools) are required to integrate classical scholarly traditions and modern education, one way of doing this is through the integration of the study of yellow books (tahfidzul Qur'an) and Qur'an memorization (tahfidzul Qur'an). The Baitul Abidin Darussalam Wonosobo Tahfidzul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School implements an integrative learning system to balance Qur'an memorization and understanding of Islamic law (shari'a). However, it still faces obstacles such as a tight schedule, different methods, and weak coordination and evaluation. This study examines the implementation patterns, challenges, and impacts of this system, with the hope of serving as a reference for developing a balanced and sustainable model of Islamic boarding school education. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design to understand in-depth the implementation of the integrative learning system between Qur'an memorization and the study of yellow books (tahfidzul Qur'an) at the Baitul Abidin Darussalam Wonosobo Islamic Boarding School (PPTQ). Subjects were selected purposively, including the boarding school administrator, tahfidz teachers, yellow book teachers, and students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted interactively using the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification to obtain a holistic and contextual understanding. The discussion shows that the integrative learning system in Islamic boarding schools is implemented through a balanced daily schedule between Quran memorization and yellow book study, allowing memorization, understanding, and moral development to occur simultaneously within the students' daily routines. Integration is achieved structurally through scheduling, methodologically by linking verse memorization with book study, and culturally through the instillation of values, etiquette, and pesantren traditions. The success of integration is supported by the exemplary behavior of the kiai (Islamic teachers) and ustadz (Islamic teachers), the religious environment, and the motivation and discipline of the students, despite challenges such as busy schedules, physical exhaustion, differences in student abilities, and limited facilities. The impact of implementing this system is seen in the improved quality of contextual memorization, a more critical understanding of the scriptures, the formation of disciplined and moral character, and the holistic spiritual development of students.

UMKM Kerupuk Subur is one of the SMEs quite well-known for its cracker products and is located at Jl. Gedongkuning Gg. Nuri No.66, RT.2/RW.33, Wonocatur, Banguntapan, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Product packaging is one of the important factors in maintaining the quality of the crackers to keep them crispy and not easily soggy. Currently, UMKM Kerupuk Subur still uses ordinary plastic packaging that is only tied with a string, so its protection against physical damage and product quality deterioration is still limited. Besides functioning as a protector, product packaging also serves as a consumer attraction that can influence purchasing decisions. In 2024, UMKM Kerupuk Subur experienced a production and sales decline of 4.58 percent, which is suspected to be influenced by packaging factors. This study aims to develop Kerupuk Subur packaging based on customer criteria and needs. The Green Quality Function Deployment approach is used to obtain comprehensive information in designing packaging according to consumer needs and preferences. The results of identifying consumer needs show priorities such as packaging that is easy to open, resealable, transparent, environmentally friendly, durable, and tear-resistant. Based on these needs, packaging development alternatives were designed, including an easy-open system, durable and tear-resistant packaging, and resealable packaging to maintain product quality and crispness. Then, testing was conducted with 50 respondents to assess consumer satisfaction. The level of consumer satisfaction falls into the satisfied category, with an average score of 4.18, where 80% of respondents stated they were satisfied or very satisfied with the designed packaging prototype.

Nutritional status plays an important role in shaping body image among adolescents, particularly female adolescents who experience rapid physical and psychosocial changes. Adolescents with nutritional problems are more likely to feel dissatisfied withitheiribody shape, whichimay lead to unhealthy behaviors such as strict dieting or excessive eating to gain weight.

Wood consumption in Indonesia, which is expected to reach more than 64.84 million m³ by 2025, is putting enormous pressure on forests, as evidenced by the reduction in forest area through the clearing of 96,230 hectares of forest in 2023. To reduce dependence on wood as a building material, alternative materials with comparable physical and mechanical properties are needed. Bamboo, especially laminated bamboo, was chosen because it has high tensile strength, a short harvest time, and abundant availability. This study examines the behavior of hollow section laminated bamboo beam-column connections with a glue-in-rod-bracket system to determine the ductility of the connection under unidirectional (static) loads. An experimental method was used with the independent variables of diameter and number of bolts, while the dependent variables included the moment-rotation of the connection, stiffness, strength, and ductility. The results show that the average ductility values for 4 and 6 thread rods D6, D8, and D10 mostly meet the SNI 1729 (≥1.25) and AISC 360 (rotation >0.03 rad) standards, with classifications ranging from "partially ductile" to "fully elastic." However, the 10-diameter 6-thread rod only achieved a ductility of 1.2, thus failing to meet the SNI standard. Based on the Handbook of Structural Steel Connection Design and Details, all connections fall into the non-seismic category because their ductility values are less than 3. These findings confirm the potential of laminated bamboo as an environmentally friendly construction material, while also providing technical guidelines for the design of non-seismic beam-column connections.
