Meanwhile, efforts to prevent degenerative diseases affecting the adolescent age group are still rare, such as the establishment of a Youth Posyandu, including in Sungai Duren Village. There is no health post that provides youth care services in Sungai Duren Village, while there are many teenagers living there (students under 21 years old) with various lifestyles that are at risk of degenerative diseases. This study aims to analyze the increase in adolescent knowledge about CERDIK between before and after the establishment of the Youth Posyandu in order to prevent degenerative diseases early. This study is a quasi-experimental study involving 30 adolescents by measuring the dependent variable of knowledge. The research instrument used is a questionnaire. Computerized data processing and analysis were conducted through descriptive statistical analysis and T-test analysis. The results showed a significant difference in respondents' knowledge of CERDIK before and after the establishment of the Youth Posyandu in Sungai Duren Village (p=0.000). This study indicates that structured health education can improve adolescents' understanding of CERDIK and can be used as an effective promotive and preventive strategy.

This study aims to analyze the marketing strategies of Islamic bank products based on sharia values implemented in Mojoarno Village (Ikhsanudin et al. 2024). The background of this research is the increasing development of Islamic banking in Indonesia which is not always followed by sucient understanding of sharia nancial products at the rural level (Qothrunnada et al. 2023). This condition requires Islamic banks to design marketing strategies that are not only focused on product promotion, but also on education, empowerment, and strengthening public trust (Damayanti 2023). This research uses a qualitative case study approach on an Islamic bank that actively conducts marketing activities around Mojoarno Village (Yin 2018). Data were collected through in-depth interviews with bank marketing sta , religious leaders, and customers, participatory observation in socialization and religious activities, as well as documentation of promotional materials and internal reports (Miles and Huberman 2014). The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with source and technique triangulation to ensure validity. The ndings show that marketing strategies integrated with sharia values—such as justice, transparency, and avoidance of riba, gharar, and maysir—combined with religious and cultural approaches through mosques and majelis taklim can increase public literacy and interest in Islamic bank products (Rahman, Aji, and Sopingi 2023). However, several challenges still remain, including low initial nancial literacy, strong informal nancial practices, and limited marketing resources in rural areas (Syifa, Nasution, and Inayah 2024). The implications of this research emphasize the importance of synergy between Islamic banks, religious leaders, and local communities to develop sustainable sharia-based marketing models in rural contexts.

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) holds a very important role in shaping children’s character, moral values, and foundational knowledge. As an effort to support the success of education, good quality learning outcomes are required as a benchmark for children’s holistic development. In this context, educator management becomes one of the keys to improving the quality of learning outcomes. PAUD Al-Qur’an (PAUDQU) is an early childhood education institution that prioritizes Al-Qur’an education and Al-Qur’an memorization (tahfidz) as its institutional uniqueness. The findings of this research show that the educator management implemented in PAUDQU in Setu Bekasi District is quite good, as almost all elements within the scope of educator management have been carried out by the school.

This management strategy emphasizes educator planning by strengthening competencies, professional learning implementation by educators, continuous educator evaluation, and providing appreciation to increase educator motivation.

This study examines the differences between Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and large corporations in utilizing e-commerce platforms for digital promotion, particularly through collaborations with influencers. The rapid development of digital technology has reshaped business competition and created unequal access to market opportunities, where corporations benefit from strong financial capacity, formal contractual structures, and comprehensive legal compliance, while MSMEs often struggle with limited resources, inconsistent product legality, and informal promotional arrangements. This research aims to analyze comparative practices in digital promotion between the two business scales and evaluate how regulatory frameworks support digital fairness for MSMEs within Indonesia’s e-commerce ecosystem. Using a qualitative method that combines literature review and in-depth interviews with three influencers, the study reveals significant distinctions in collaboration patterns, compensation systems, marketing flexibility, and legal assurance. The findings indicate that MSMEs exhibit higher adaptability and openness toward emerging creators, whereas corporations demonstrate stronger professionalism but lower responsiveness due to bureaucratic structures. The research further highlights persistent digital inequality shaped by differences in legal awareness, operational capacity, and marketing strategy. These findings imply the importance of enhancing MSME digital literacy, strengthening contractual governance, and improving regulatory responsiveness to ensure equitable participation in the digital market. Strengthening cooperative efforts between government, digital platforms, and influencer communities is essential for building a fairer and more inclusive e-commerce environment.

This study analyzes the influence of Digital Marketing Strategy and Brand Image on consumer purchasing decisions and tests the role of Brand Awareness as a moderating variable at Moringa Coffee and Eatery. Data collection was conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire and processed using SmartPLS 4.0 with a quantitative PLS method approach. The results show that Digital Marketing Strategy and Brand Image have a significant effect on purchasing decisions.

These findings emphasize the importance of optimizing digital marketing strategies and strengthening brand image, as well as the need to increase brand awareness in order to support the effectiveness of marketing strategies. Furthermore, the study highlights that consumers tend to make purchasing decisions based on the perceived value and credibility presented through digital platforms, making consistent online engagement crucial. Improving brand awareness may require more targeted promotional activities, interactive content, and customer involvement to build a stronger emotional connection with the brand. Overall, these results provide valuable insights for managers aiming to enhance competitiveness and customer loyalty in the digital marketplace.
