Penelitian ini membahas relevansi integritas Kristus sebagaimana dicontohkan dalam Matius 4:1–11 sebagai dasar etika profesional dan spiritual bagi guru-guru Kristen. Dalam kisah pencobaan di padang gurun, Yesus menunjukkan keteguhan hati dan kesetiaan terhadap firman Tuhan, tanpa kompromi terhadap godaan kuasa, kekayaan, dan pengakuan. Sikap ini menjadi model sempurna integritas, yang tidak hanya bersifat moral tetapi juga spiritual. Guru Kristen sebagai pendidik dan pembentuk karakter generasi masa depan, diharapkan hidup selaras antara ucapan, prinsip, dan tindakan, sebagaimana Kristus meneladankan.Melalui pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif berbasis studi pustaka, penelitian ini menganalisis prinsip-prinsip integritas Kristus dan implikasinya dalam dunia pendidikan Kristen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integritas guru Kristen berdampak langsung terhadap efektivitas pendidikan karakter, kepercayaan peserta didik, dan kredibilitas lembaga pendidikan. Namun, tantangan besar juga diidentifikasi, seperti tekanan profesional, relativisme moral, dan godaan kompromi nilai.Strategi pembinaan integritas meliputi penguatan disiplin rohani, pelatihan etika Kristen, mentoring oleh figur teladan, serta dukungan institusional dari gereja dan sekolah. Guru Kristen dipanggil tidak hanya mengajar pengetahuan, tetapi juga menjadi pemimpin rohani yang mencerminkan kehidupan Kristus. Dengan menjadikan integritas sebagai inti dari pelayanan pendidikan, guru mampu menjadi terang dan garam bagi dunia pendidikan yang tengah menghadapi krisis moral. Oleh karena itu, implementasi integritas Kristus menjadi kebutuhan mendesak dalam membentuk guru Kristen yang profesional, beriman, dan berpengaruh secara transformatif.

Indonesia is prone to natural disasters because it is located at the confluence of three active tectonic plates. This condition causes high earthquake, volcano, and tsunami activity in Indonesia. Mount Kelud is the most active volcano in Indonesia with cycles that recur every 8 to 15 years. The community service method carried out is to collect data on the area, population, targets, capacity, vulnerability level, and empirical data on the 2014 eruption of Mount Kelud. Then conduct analysis, calculate estimates of health logistics needs, especially reproductive health, socialize the results of the analysis, and conduct disaster preparedness education. This activity was carried out for 6 weeks from March 12 to April 21, 2025. Based on the results of the risk assessment, the Ngancar District, Kediri Regency area has a score of frequent risk scale, severe impact scale, and priority and impact scale in the high category. To overcome the health crisis, a contingency plan is needed, especially for the reproductive health sub-cluster, which includes the preparedness of target data, existing capacity in the region, the level of vulnerability, and the estimated amount of health logistics needed to anticipate the eruption of Mount Kelud. Mount Kelud has a periodic eruption pattern in 8 to 15 years. The contingency plan for dealing with the health crisis of the eruption of Mount Kelud is very important for health service stakeholders because it can minimize the adverse impacts caused, increase rapid response, and ensure smooth coordination between related institutions in dealing with the natural disaster effectively and efficiently. It also supports disaster risk reduction efforts at the community level and strengthens the resilience of local communities.

The palm oil industry is a vital component of Indonesia's economy, significantly contributing to foreign exchange earnings and employment opportunities, particularly in rural and plantation-based regions where economic alternatives are limited. However, the sector is increasingly challenged by global sustainability concerns, particularly the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which poses a threat to Indonesia’s palm oil exports due to its strict environmental standards and traceability requirements. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review to explore the role of innovation and legal protection in strengthening the sustainability and global competitiveness of Indonesia’s palm oil industry. Specifically, it investigates how the development of superior plant varieties and the application of Plant Variety Protection (PVP) under the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework contribute to long-term industry resilience. The findings indicate that superior varieties such as DxP Topaz, DxP PTPN V, and Lonsum DxP have been instrumental in boosting productivity, reducing the need for land expansion, enhancing oil yield per hectare, and improving overall resource efficiency. Moreover, legal protection through PVP not only secures exclusive rights for breeders but also incentivizes further agricultural innovation and prevents the unauthorized use and duplication of valuable genetic resources. In light of international regulatory pressures, strengthening the national PVP system, promoting the registration of local superior varieties, and integrating legal instruments with research and development are essential. These efforts can safeguard Indonesia’s genetic sovereignty and support sustainable practices in compliance with international environmental standards. Ultimately, aligning agricultural innovation with a robust legal framework is key to maintaining the industry’s market access, environmental credibility, and long-term sustainability.

Gender-based violence has become a growing global problem, but in Mexico, the phenomenon of femicide has reached a concerning crisis level. Femicide, or the killing of women because of their gender identity, reflects the most extreme form of inequality and injustice experienced by women in society. This study seeks to examine the femicide crisis in Mexico as a manifestation of the state's failure to fulfill its obligation to protect women's rights. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes how weak legal institutions, high rates of impunity, and a deeply rooted patriarchal culture exacerbate the situation of violence against women. In addition, this study also examines the extent to which Mexico has implemented international standards, especially the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and how the state has failed to implement them effectively. Using the concept of state failure, this study concludes that the femicide crisis in Mexico is not only a social problem, but also reflects the state's structural inability to provide equal legal protection and justice for women. Therefore, there needs to be a comprehensive reform of the legal system and gender-responsive public policies based on human rights principles. Therefore, increasing institutional capacity and strengthening public accountability mechanisms are important steps so that the state is no longer negligent in handling femicide and is truly present for victims in a real and comprehensive manner.

Natural and non-natural disasters significantly disrupt healthcare systems, particularly obstetric and gynecological services, which are highly vulnerable to service interruptions and quality decline. Pregnant women, postpartum mothers, and newborns face an increased risk of complications and mortality without adequate medical care. Health professionals play a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of reproductive health services through the implementation of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP), emergency management, health education, and intersectoral coordination. However, challenges such as limited resources, psychological pressure, and lack of specialized training hinder optimal performance. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of healthcare workers, enhancing disaster preparedness, providing adequate logistics, and enacting supportive governmental policies are essential to maintain effective obstetric-gynecological care during crises. This literature review comprehensively discusses the role of health workers in ensuring reproductive health services in disaster settings as a strategy to improve access and service quality during emergencies.

The moral crisis and rampant corruption among Christian leaders pose serious challenges that erode the credibility and integrity of religious institutions. This phenomenon not only tarnishes the image of Christianity institutionally but also weakens the foundation of ethics and spiritual values that should guide the lives of the congregation. This issue becomes even more pressing when it occurs in the realm of Christian education, a place where future leaders should be formed. This study aims to analyze Jonathan Lamb's concept of integrity as a strategic framework for addressing this crisis, especially in the context of Christian educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach and literature review, this study highlights Lamb's holistic view of integrity, which encompasses three main dimensions: wholeness of the person (wholeness), consistency between beliefs and actions (consistency), and full accountability to God (accountability to God). Lamb's concept of integrity is highly relevant amidst the increasing need for leaders who are not only competent but also possess proven character. The findings of this study indicate that to effectively implement the concept of integrity, Christian educational institutions need to take a two-pronged approach: first, comprehensively reform the curriculum so that integrity values are not only a separate subject, but are integrated into all disciplines and learning activities; Second, building an institutional culture that emphasizes moral exemplarity from leaders, lecturers, and educational staff. Furthermore, a sustainable character development system, transparent accountability evaluation, and open ethical discussion are needed. Education is not only about knowledge transfer, but also about character transformation. Therefore, integrity must be seen as the core of Christian education, not an add-on. This study concludes that Lamb's concept of integrity can be a transformative model that encourages the formation of future leaders with strong character, prevents moral failure, and restores public trust in Christian institutions

Krisis moral yang melanda dunia pendidikan modern menuntut pendekatan pendidikan karakter yang lebih mendalam dan integral. Meskipun kebijakan seperti Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK) telah digulirkan, implementasinya seringkali hanya bersifat simbolis dan tidak menyentuh akar pembinaan jiwa peserta didik. Studi ini mengkaji konsep pendidikan karakter dalam pandangan Ibnu Miskawaih, seorang filsuf Muslim abad ke-10, yang menekankan pentingnya penyucian jiwa (tazkiyat al-nafs), pembiasaan amal saleh, dan peran akal dalam membentuk perilaku moral. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif melalui telaah kritis terhadap karya utama Ibnu Miskawaih, Tahdzib al-Akhlak, serta sumber sekunder yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa konsep karakter menurut Ibnu Miskawaih tidak hanya menekankan aspek lahiriah, tetapi juga pembentukan moral batiniah melalui integrasi spiritual, intelektual, dan etis. Pendekatannya yang menyeimbangkan akal dan nafsu menjadi sangat relevan dalam merespon degradasi moral, krisis integritas, dan pragmatisme pendidikan saat ini. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemikiran Ibnu Miskawaih dapat dijadikan fondasi bagi pengembangan kurikulum karakter yang tidak hanya mencerdaskan secara kognitif, tetapi juga membentuk manusia berakhlak dan bermartabat. Studi ini juga merekomendasikan integrasi nilai-nilai klasik Islam ke dalam sistem pendidikan nasional sebagai langkah strategis menuju pendidikan yang transformatif dan berakar pada nilai spiritual.

This paper discusses the impact of the Sudanese refugee crisis on security stability in the Chad border region. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces since April 2023 has triggered a massive wave of refugees, making Chad one of the main recipient countries. Using a regional security complex theory approach, this paper shows that the flow of refugees not only creates social and economic pressures, but also magnifies security risks such as infiltration of armed groups, tensions between communities, and weak control in the border region. Through document analysis, the paper highlights how Chad's capacity constraints exacerbate the situation, as well as the need for a long-term response involving cross-actor coordination and sustained international support.

The political crisis in Myanmar following the 2020 election and the 2021 military coup has created instability in both domestic and international security. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach to analyze the impact of the coup on regional security and ASEAN's response. The findings reveal that the coup led by General Min Aung Hlaing's military junta not only threatened Myanmar's democracy but also triggered human rights violations, economic crisis, and refugee exodus. ASEAN, through mechanisms such as the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (AIPR), has attempted to mediate the conflict using a non-interventionist approach, yet its effectiveness is considered weak compared to sanctions imposed by Western countries such as the United States and the European Union. The main challenges for AIPR include its limited mandate, divergent interests among member states, and ASEAN's principle of respecting national sovereignty. This study concludes that a sustainable solution requires a multidimensional approach involving both international pressure and inclusive dialogue with all stakeholders in Myanmar.
