In a study conducted at MIN 25 Aceh Besar, it was found that dental caries problems often occur in class IV students, with a significant influence from the lack of adequate knowledge, attitudes, and actions related to oral health. This cross-sectional analytic design study involved all fourth grade students as samples, totaling 72 people. Data were collected on May 2 and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the chi square test. The results showed that most of the respondents had dental caries, where 39 out of 72 students (54.2%) suffered from the condition. The majority of respondents' knowledge about oral health was in the poor category, where 28 out of 72 students (38.9%) showed a low level of knowledge. This also applies to respondents' attitudes and actions, where 42 students (58.3%) have attitudes that are less supportive of good dental health and 46 students (63.9%) show ineffective actions in maintaining their oral health. Based on these data, there is a significant relationship between behavior (knowledge, attitude, and action) and the incidence of dental caries among these students, with the ρ value for knowledge being 0.003, attitude being 0.006, and action being 0.001. This shows that effective education and counseling on oral health is needed. As a recommendation, it is advisable for schools to collaborate with the local Health Office and Puskesmas to hold regular oral health counseling programs. In addition, establishing a healthy canteen at school can be another preventive measure so that students can choose healthier snacks that support good oral health.

Asy-Syifa Regional General Hospital in West Sumbawa Regency, as a public health service institution, should have employees who are enthusiastic and motivated to work effectively and efficiently. The salaries and wages given need to be adjusted to the profession, education, and length of service of employees so that they are able to demonstrate high productivity in order to achieve the mission and goals that have been set.

Study explores the integration of eco theology into Christian higher education curricula, focusing on the role of faith based environmental education in fostering environmental stewardship. Introduction: As the global ecological crisis intensifies, there is a growing need to incorporate ecological ethics into religious education, preparing future leaders to address environmental challenges. By integrating eco theology with sustainability practices, students are encouraged to view environmental stewardship as a spiritual responsibility grounded in biblical teachings.

Eco theology combines theological principles with environmental ethics, offering a holistic perspective on sustainability. Materials and Method: This study employs a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data from interviews, surveys, and focus groups with students and faculty members at Christian institutions that integrate eco theology into their curriculum. The research examines changes in students' attitudes toward sustainability before and after participation in eco theology courses, focusing on practical applications of creation care. Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that the integration of eco theology significantly enhances students' ecological awareness and commitment to sustainability practices. Students report an increased understanding of the ethical and moral responsibility to care for creation, as well as greater engagement in community based conservation efforts.

This study aims to identify the influence of religiosity on customer decisions in choosing Islamic banks using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The SLR process includes the stages of identification, assessment, and interpretation of literature, which resulted in 18 articles from 18 journals published between 2015 and 2022, indexed by SINTA, and have E-ISSN. The results of the study indicate that the influence of customer religiosity still has opportunities and challenges to be improved. This can be seen from the low level of customer religiosity, which is indicated by the lack of religious calling that influences their attitudes and behavior, as well as limited understanding of the prohibition of usury and the use of Islamic banks only for profit. Indicators of religiosity that play a role in influencing customer decisions to choose Islamic banks include the quality of Islamic products, avoidance of usurious transactions, profit sharing principles, and Islamic features. There is a gap in results between the samples studied, which can be a research gap for further studies. Recommendations for improving customer decisions include increasing religiosity, fulfilling customer needs, and the effectiveness of Islamic financial literacy. This study can be used as a reference for further research on the role of religiosity in influencing customer decisions in choosing Islamic banks.    

Public service delivery in taxation is a vital function of government in fulfilling citizens' administrative rights, particularly through the issuance of the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP). The quality of this service directly influences taxpayer satisfaction, understanding, and trust in tax institutions.

This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with tax officers and taxpayers, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The assessment of service quality was based on the SERVQUAL framework developed by Zeithaml and Parasuraman, encompassing five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The results show that NPWP issuance services at KPP Pratama Dumai City are generally well implemented. Adequate facilities, adherence to standard operating procedures, responsive officers, data security assurance, and courteous service attitudes support service quality.
