Marriage has an important role in shaping the family structure in society. However, in recent years, the marriage rate in Indonesia has experienced a significant decline, reaching 7.51% in 2023. This decline is caused by various factors, one of which is the increase in cases of Domestic Violence (KDRT), which gives a negative image to the institution of marriage. This article aims to examine the stigma of violence and the fading of the institution of marriage. This research aims to analyze the views of employees of PT. Sicepat Express Indonesia from 2018 to 2023. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method to understand employees' views on this issue.  Based on data, in 2023 there will be 289,111 cases of violence against women and 351,828 divorces, of which domestic violence is the main factor. The results show that many individuals feel worried and reluctant to get married due to the growing negative stigma. These findings reveal that domestic violence not only has a direct impact on victims, but also affects the way people, especially the younger generation, view marriage as an institution that ideally brings happiness.

This study was motivated by the important role of the school community in supporting the successful implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile as part of the Merdeka Curriculum. The purpose of this study was to analyze how principals, teachers, students, parents, and school committees contribute to the development of the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies conducted at a secondary school during the period from August to October 2025. The results showed that the development of all dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile was greatly influenced by the quality of collaboration within the school community. The principal plays a role in strengthening school policies and culture, teachers become facilitators in project-based learning, students take an active role as drivers of collaborative activities, while parents and committees provide moral support and program facilities. These findings imply that the success of strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile does not only depend on the curriculum structure, but also on the synergy of the school ecosystem that is created in a sustainable manner.

The activity was implemented among parents of kindergarten pupils. The findings indicated a notable improvement in participants’ understanding of parental mental health, increased awareness of stress management in parenting contexts, and an enhanced capacity to apply simple strategies to maintain emotional regulation. Moreover, participants demonstrated active engagement and positive responses throughout the programme. This initiative contributes to strengthening parental mental health awareness as a preventive measure to support healthier and more adaptive parenting practices within the family setting.

This research aims to analyze the implementation of the Protection and Rehabilitation Service Program for Juvenile Delinquents in Surabaya City, conducted by the Social Service of East Java Province. Juvenile delinquency remains a significant social problem requiring comprehensive intervention through protection and rehabilitation approaches rather than punitive measures. Drawing on George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory, this study examines four critical factors: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This qualitative research employs a descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation at the Social Service of East Java Province during June-August 2025. Informants include program managers, social workers, psychologists, beneficiaries of the juvenile delinquency program, and their families. The results indicate that the program has successfully served 1,247 juvenile delinquents through integrated services, including psychological counseling, skills training, family therapy, and social reintegration support. The communication dimension shows effective coordination between provincial and city-level agencies, though information dissemination to communities needs improvement. Resource adequacy is generally sufficient with 35 certified social workers, adequate facilities, and an annual budget of Rp 3.2 billion. The disposition of implementers demonstrates a strong commitment to child-centered approaches. Clear SOPs and inter-agency collaboration protocols support the bureaucratic structure. The program achieves 72% successful rehabilitation rate with 68% of beneficiaries returning to formal education or productive activities. Challenges remain in stigma reduction, family involvement, and post-rehabilitation monitoring. This study recommends strengthening community-based prevention, expanding vocational training options, developing peer support networks, and establishing sustainable aftercare mechanisms.

This study aims to analyze the management of educational facilities and infrastructure planning at Pesantren Miftahul Ulum Subang and its contribution to learning effectiveness. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, using in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 19 participants, including the boarding school leader, teachers, students, and facilities managers. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of facilities management and their impact on the learning process. The findings indicate that the needs analysis for facilities is not yet systematic and largely relies on informal reports. Facilities procurement is carried out gradually based on priority needs and available financial resources. Several facilities are underutilized due to the absence of standard operational procedures and limited supervision. The study also shows that the quality of facilities has a direct influence on learning effectiveness by enhancing classroom comfort and supporting instructional methods. It is concluded that structured and data-driven facilities planning is essential for improving the quality of learning in Islamic boarding schools.

The fundamental issue in sustainable tourism management that remains less than optimal can be seen from the limited involvement of local communities and the lack of integrated management of tourism potential in the Pura Maduwe Karang area. The purpose of this study is to analyze sustainable tourism management in the management of Pura Maduwe Karang. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method through observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation. The theoretical foundations used include the concepts of Sustainable Tourism, the Triple Bottom Line, and Tourism Impact Theory.The results show that the implementation of sustainable tourism management at Pura Maduwe Karang is still basic and has not been structured professionally. The socio-cultural aspect is relatively well preserved through customary roles and ceremonial activities; however, the economic aspect has not provided significant benefits for individuals in the local community, as contributions remain limited to collective interests of the traditional village. The environmental aspect is currently well maintained due to the temple’s sacred status but may decline if tourist numbers increase without proper management. The main constraints lie in the lack of promotion, facilities, and human resource capacity in management. This study emphasizes the importance of tourism management strategies that balance the dimensions of profit, people, and planet, and encourages collaboration among traditional villages, local governments, and communities to maintain the sustainability of the temple as both a cultural heritage site and a tourist destination.

This study aims to analyze the inventory management practices of qurban cattle at Purnomo Sapi Mulyo Farm in Boyolali, Central Java, particularly in facing the surge in demand prior to Eid al-Adha. The research is motivated by the unique characteristics of qurban cattle inventory, which involves living assets, seasonal demand, and biological risks that differ significantly from conventional inventory management. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed to capture in-depth information regarding inventory planning, procurement, storage, and sales practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the business owner as the key informant, direct observation of operational activities, and documentation review. The findings reveal that inventory management at the farm is conducted in a responsive manner based on consumer orders, enabling the business to minimize overstock risks and operational costs. However, inventory recording remains manual and unstructured, potentially limiting the accuracy of cost calculation and long-term planning. Price fluctuations and supply availability are strongly influenced by the Eid al-Adha momentum, while cattle health and lead time are critical factors affecting inventory effectiveness. From a theoretical perspective, the study extends inventory management concepts to the context of live and seasonal inventory. Practically, the findings suggest that implementing a simple yet structured inventory recording system could enhance operational efficiency and decision-making accuracy in local qurban cattle farms.

Literature is not only a source of entertainment, but also a tool for contemplating human life that is full of internal conflicts and psychological issues. Short stories as a type of literature often present the realities of life in a concise yet meaningful way, making them interesting to analyze with a variety of scientific methods. This research focuses on the short story "Happiness That Kills" by applying two main approaches, namely the analysis of intrinsic elements and literary psychology. This story depicts a happy state that appears from the outside, but actually hides the emotional burden experienced by the main character, Malla. The method applied in this study is qualitative descriptive with literature study techniques, which is oriented towards the introduction of themes, plots, characters, settings, and mandates, as well as exploring the psychological dynamics of characters using Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The results of the study show that the internal conflicts in this story arise from the battle between the id, ego, and superego, especially when Malla struggles to maintain harmony in her family at the expense of herself. Overall, this short story shows that forced happiness can lead to suffering. By combining structural and psychological analysis, this study reveals the deep meaning related to social pressures, inner struggles, and humanitarian messages that the author seeks to convey. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute to the study of literature, especially in understanding the relationship between story structure and the psychological condition of characters in contemporary literary works.

These findings confirm the relevance of implementing SMART Goal Setting in high school entrepreneurship education as a practical strategy that can support the emergence of aspiring young entrepreneurs.

Attention span and cognitive focus in young minds these days are increasingly structured by the growing influence of digital distractions. Drawing from the ideas of Foucault and Nietzsche, this paper examines how technology molds behavior and, at the same time, is used as a tool of control through power relations. This digitally fosters a form of nihilism, the sense life has no purpose. By using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines the surveying and in-depth interviewing of students and instructors about how technology influences attention, learning, and academic performance. Results indicate that while technology brings many benefits, it also provides significant challenges-most notably via social media and smartphone distractions. These distractions reduce attention spans, decrease deep learning, and contribute to cognitive overload. This study therefore calls for the integration of technology into education in a balanced way, highlighting digital literacy, mindful use, and distraction-reduction strategies. In the process, self-awareness, self-regulation, and responsible use will allow people to use its benefits rather than fall into disengagement and cynicism. Technology should serve as a tool for learning and growth-not a barrier to focus and intellectual development.

This study investigates how faith-based giving can be transformed into measurable development impact in the education sector, focusing on the Global Muslim Philanthropy Fund for Children (GMPFC) established by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) in partnership with UNICEF. Traditional Islamic philanthropic instruments, such as zakat and sadaqah, often provide short-term relief but lack structured governance, limiting their long-term impact on educational outcomes. Using a qualitative-explorative, this research analyzes secondary data from 2021–2025, including institutional reports, program documents, and peer-reviewed literature, to assess how GMPFC operationalizes faith-based resources through pooled, multilateral, and impact-oriented mechanisms. The findings indicate that GMPFC strategically funds education-enabling conditions, including child health, nutrition, psychosocial wellbeing, and youth empowerment, which are empirically linked to school readiness, retention, and learning quality. Comparative analysis shows that GMPFC outperforms traditional philanthropy and conventional aid by combining cultural legitimacy, institutional rigor, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its governance model ensures standardized monitoring, fiduciary oversight, and cross-sectoral integration, addressing longstanding limitations of fragmented philanthropic delivery. Despite its effectiveness, the study highlights a lack of longitudinal learning outcome data, limiting precise quantification of educational impact beyond enabling conditions. Nonetheless, GMPFC exemplifies a hybrid development-finance model, demonstrating how Islamic philanthropic values can be operationalized to generate sustainable, measurable contributions to child education and human capital formation. These findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and faith-based organizations aiming to scale philanthropic resources for education in vulnerable contexts.

Furthermore, it is hoped that the use of this technology will also increase the participation and involvement of the entire academic community in managing information more effectively.

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has encouraged businesses to adopt digital marketing strategies supported by effective information management. Marketplace platforms such as Shopee provide extensive marketing data with strategic value; however, its utilization requires a structured system. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Marketing Information Systems in supporting digital marketing strategies on the Shopee e-commerce platform. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review and indirect observation using internet-based scholarly sources. Data were collected from relevant national and international journals and analyzed descriptively to identify the roles, components, and influencing factors of Marketing Information Systems. The results indicate that Marketing Information Systems play a significant role in supporting digital marketing decision-making through the management of internal records, marketing intelligence, marketing research, and decision support systems. Furthermore, the implementation of Marketing Information Systems on Shopee is influenced by information technology development, company size and scale, consumer behavior, competitive environment, and corporate strategy and objectives. This study is expected to contribute theoretically to the development of digital marketing studies and provide practical references for e-commerce businesses in optimizing data-driven marketing strategies.

This study examines the implications of the micro-shopping phenomenon and omnichannel integration for market structure and competitive dynamics in Indonesia’s retail sector from an industrial organization perspective. The transformation of modern retail is characterized by a shift toward small-value, high-frequency transactions alongside increasing integration between physical stores and digital channels. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, this study utilizes secondary data on market shares and the number of retail outlets operated by major firms during the 2022–2024 period. Market structure is assessed through market share distribution, outlet ownership ratios, the four-firm concentration ratio (CR4), and the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI). The results indicate that Indonesia’s retail market exhibits a highly concentrated, network-based oligopolistic structure. The dominance of large retail firms is reflected not only in their substantial market shares but also in their dense outlet networks, which enable the aggregation of dispersed micro-shopping transactions. Furthermore, omnichannel integration reinforces these structural advantages by enhancing logistical coordination and distribution efficiency. Overall, the findings suggest an increasing tendency toward market consolidation and a declining competitive space for small and traditional retailers, highlighting important implications for competition policy and the long-term sustainability of retail market structure.

Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in Indonesia, impacting the quality of human resources. One important factor contributing to stunting is child feeding practices, especially during the First 1,000 Days of Life. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between child feeding practices and stunting in toddlers. Method: This study used a cross-sectional design conducted in the Oesao Community Health Center (Puskesmas Oesao) working area. The sample was 30 toddlers aged 6–59 months selected using a purposive sampling technique. Child feeding practices were measured using a structured questionnaire, while stunting status was determined based on the WHO standard length/height-for-age (PB/U or TB/U) index. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that most toddlers with inadequate feeding practices experienced stunting. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between child feeding practices and stunting (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Child feeding practices are significantly associated with stunting in toddlers. It is necessary to increase nutritional education and support families in feeding children as an effort to prevent stunting.

This study evaluates the legal perspective concerning business competition in Indonesia regarding alleged abuse of dominant power in the competition between digital platforms TikTok Shop (including the acquisition of Tokopedia) and Shopee. The method applied is normative juridical with a case study approach, referring to Law Number 5 of 1999, particularly Articles 19–21 related to market control and Article 20 concerning below-cost selling practices. The analysis focuses on inter-platform integration, aggressive discount strategies, use of cross-platform data, as well as post-acquisition behavior that may hinder healthy competition. The assessment is conducted by considering market structure, business actors' behavior, and law enforcement efforts by the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU). Research findings indicate that although TikTok Shop has strong competitiveness following the acquisition, proving the existence of abuse of a dominant position requires meeting legal and economic provisions rigorously. Therefore, the implementation of conditional approval and remedial measures by the KPPU is considered a reasonable step to maintain a healthy business competition environment in the digital era.
