Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is essential for infant growth and immunity during the first six months of life. Despite its benefits, many primiparous mothers face challenges in maintaining EBF due to lack of experience, stress, and insufficient support. Husband support has been identified as a crucial social factor that can influence a mother’s confidence and success in breastfeeding. This study aimed to examine the relationship between husband support and the success of exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous mothers in the Kalibaru Public Health Center area. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed, with 90 primiparous mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring husband support, including emotional, informational, and instrumental dimensions, and exclusive breastfeeding practice, following the World Health Organization (WHO) definition. Descriptive statistics summarized participants’ demographic characteristics and levels of support, while inferential analysis using the Chi-square test and Pearson correlation determined the association between husband support and EBF success. The results indicated that higher levels of husband support were significantly associated with successful exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous mothers (p < 0.05). Among the types of support, emotional and informational support were particularly influential in enhancing maternal confidence and overcoming breastfeeding challenges. These findings suggest that encouraging husband involvement through prenatal education, counseling, and family-based interventions can improve EBF rates. In conclusion, husband support plays a vital role in the successful practice of exclusive breastfeeding among first-time mothers. Health programs should actively involve fathers to provide emotional, informational, and practical support, thereby promoting optimal breastfeeding outcomes and infant health in the community.

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has become a critical requirement in cybersecurity due to the high-stakes nature of security decision-making and the limitations of black-box learning models. This study investigates the construction of an explainable cybersecurity knowledge representation by leveraging standardized terminology from the NIST cybersecurity glossary. The primary problem addressed is the lack of transparent and semantically grounded reasoning mechanisms in existing AI-driven cybersecurity systems, which limits trust, accountability, and analyst adoption. To address this challenge, we propose a NIST-based semantic knowledge graph that embeds explainability directly into its ontology structure and reasoning process. The proposed framework systematically extracts definitional entities and relations from NIST glossary entries to construct a domain ontology and a multi-relational knowledge graph. A rule-based semantic relation extraction method is employed to ensure faithful, interpretable, and reproducible reasoning paths. The resulting knowledge graph contains over 3,000 cybersecurity concepts and approximately 27,000 semantic relations, covering hierarchical, associative, dependency, and mitigation semantics. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves a high level of explainability, with 92.4% of reasoning outcomes being fully traceable and only 1.4% classified as non-traceable. Most explainable reasoning paths are limited to two or three hops, indicating an effective balance between inferential depth and human interpretability. Structural analysis further confirms the presence of meaningful hub concepts that support multi-hop semantic inference. These results confirm that ontology-driven, standard-based knowledge graphs provide a robust foundation for explainable cybersecurity intelligence. The study concludes that explainability-by-design, grounded in authoritative standards, offers a viable and trustworthy alternative to opaque AI models for cybersecurity applications.

High-dimensional clinical data exhibit complex and non-linear relationships among patient attributes, where outcomes are often influenced by feature interactions rather than isolated variables. However, many existing machine learning models prioritize predictive performance while providing limited interpretability and insufficient insight into interaction structures. This study aims to address this limitation by developing an interpretable and robust framework for feature interaction mining in clinical data. We propose a hybrid tree–neural modeling framework that explicitly captures and ranks feature interactions while maintaining stable predictive performance. Tree-based ensemble models are employed to identify non-linear interaction patterns, while neural representations enhance learning flexibility and generalization. The framework integrates interaction importance analysis, cross-validation–based stability assessment, and evaluation across multiple data splits to ensure robustness and interpretability. Experiments conducted on a real-world high-dimensional clinical dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves consistent predictive performance, with AUC values ranging from 0.628 to 0.641 across five cross-validation folds (mean AUC ≈ 0.633). Performance remains stable under varying train–test splits, indicating strong generalizability. Interaction analysis reveals that a small number of dominant feature interactions—such as age combined with length of hospital stay and medication count combined with diagnostic information—consistently contribute to model predictions, appearing in over 80% of validation folds. Ablation studies further confirm that removing interaction-aware components leads to noticeable performance degradation, highlighting their importance.  In conclusion, this study demonstrates that explicit feature interaction modeling enhances interpretability, stability, and generalization in clinical prediction tasks. The proposed hybrid framework provides a reliable foundation for developing trustworthy and transparent clinical decision-support systems

The principal’s leadership plays a strategic role in determining the direction and quality of educational implementation in schools. This study aims to analyze the implementation of integrative leadership based on prophetic values through the application of transformational, instructional, and servant leadership styles at SMA Muhammadiyah PK Kottabarat Surakarta. Islamic-based schools face challenges in integrating academic excellence with the development of religious character; therefore, a leadership model is required that is not only managerially effective but also morally and spiritually grounded. This research employed a qualitative approach with a field study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using interactive analysis techniques with triangulation to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that the integration of transformational, instructional, and servant leadership forms an Islamic Integrative Leadership model that combines a vision for change, the strengthening of learning quality, and the values of service and exemplary conduct within an Islamic framework. Transformational leadership fosters a shared vision and an innovative culture; instructional leadership enhances the quality of the learning process through effective academic supervision; while servant leadership creates a humanistic and participatory school climate. This leadership model contributes to improving teacher professionalism, strengthening students’ character, and establishing a religious school culture oriented toward holistic and sustainable educational quality.

This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping adolescent personality at SMA Negeri 1 Sragen. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. The findings indicate that personality development strategies were carried out in a planned, systematic, and collaborative manner through five main approaches: role modeling, religious habituation, integration of values into classroom instruction, personal mentoring, and collaboration among teachers. Role modeling emerged as the most dominant strategy, as students tend to imitate teachers’ behavior in daily interactions. Religious programs such as congregational prayer, Qur’anic recitation, Islamic student organization activities, and Friday religious programs function as instruments for internalizing religious and social values. These findings affirm that adolescent personality development requires an integrated strategy embedded within school culture and supported by a conducive educational environment.

This study aims to describe the form of multi-stakeholder collaboration in the management of the Bojonegoro Geopark using the Pentahelix approach. This study employed a qualitative method with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, while informants were selected purposively to represent the government, academia, business actors, community groups, and media. The findings indicate that although the five helixes are involved, their roles have not yet been integrated into a systematic collaborative framework. The government contributes through infrastructure provision and regulatory support but lacks a coordinating institution dedicated to geopark management. Academics provide research input, yet it has not formed a comprehensive basis for geosite interpretation. Business actors grow predominantly in recreational destinations, while community groups play essential operational roles but with uneven capacities. The media participates in promoting activities, although it has not succeeded in building a consistent geopark identity. Overall, this study concludes that weak inter-helix integration remains the primary challenge in developing the Bojonegoro Geopark. Therefore, strengthening institutional coordination, improving community capacity, and establishing an integrated communication strategy are essential for achieving sustainable geopark governance.

Emotional development is a crucial aspect of character formation, emotional regulation, and children’s social skills in daily life. The research method employed is a literature review, which involves examining relevant sources such as academic journals, books, and research The methodology utilizes a synthesis of peer-reviewed journals and relevant publications concerning the impact of caregiving styles on early childhood emotional maturity The reviewed literature was analyzed descriptively to identify patterns and trends in previous research findings. The results of the literature review indicate that parenting styles have a significant influence on children’s emotional development. Democratic (authoritative) parenting is consistently found to have the most positive impact on children’s emotional development, including better emotional regulation, self-confidence, independence, empathy, and social competence. Children raised with democratic parenting tend to express their emotions in a healthy manner and adapt well to social environments. In contrast, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting styles are often associated with emotional difficulties, such as low social skills, poor self-control, and challenges in managing emotions. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that democratic parenting plays a vital role in supporting optimal emotional development in early childhood

The phenomena of cyberbullying and digital intolerance among young people are increasingly alarming in the era of technological disruption, and Christian Religious Education (CRE) is called to provide an adequate pedagogical response to this ethical crisis. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Emmanuel Levinas's ethics of responsibility toward the Other for the formation of students' digital character within CRE, and to formulate a pedagogical framework capable of transforming students' digital behavior from egocentric tendencies toward persons who uphold human dignity. A qualitative method with a library research design was employed, utilizing thematic content analysis of relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that Levinas's concepts of the face (le visage) and asymmetrical responsibility hold profound relevance for CRE, as they directly challenge the egocentric logic underlying destructive behavior in digital spaces. The pedagogical framework of CRE is formulated through three pillars: face-to-face pedagogy, alterity-based digital ethics literacy, and spirituality of responsibility as the foundation of transformation. The implications of this study affirm that CRE holds strategic potential to become a space for cultivating digital moral resilience, grounded in the affirmation of imago Dei and a transformative relational ethics.

This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Village Operational Funds (VOF) distribution policy as an instrument for realising good governance principles in the Government of Sorong City. The research focuses on the implementation of fund distribution and the application of transparency, accountability, participation, and effectiveness in managing Village Operational Funds. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to 20 respondents and in-depth interviews with five key informants, including village officials and local government representatives. Additional data were obtained through observations of planning and fund utilisation processes, as well as through analysis of regulatory documentation and accountability reports. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Village Operational Funds distribution policy in Sorong City has not been carried out in accordance with existing regulations, particularly regarding administrative procedures and fund disbursement mechanisms. This condition is primarily caused by the absence or non-disbursement of operational funds at the village level. Furthermore, the application of good governance principles has not been fully optimised due to limited human resources, weak supervision, and low community participation in planning and evaluation. The study concludes that Village Operational Funds have strategic potential as an instrument for promoting good governance if managed transparently and accountably. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, supervision systems, and community participation is essential to support effective village governance in Sorong City.
