For photography, they picked still life combined with the 45-degree angle and high-key lighting. Properly lit product photos attract consumers’ attention and show the professionalism of the brand. The website, attracting users without borders, became a successful digital promotion platform to open new markets.

This study aims to analyze the effect of nutrient types on kombucha fermentation using Sosro Tea as a medium. The practicum was conducted with two variations, namely honey as a natural nutrient and Tropicana Slim as a low-calorie sweetener. Parameters observed included color changes, aroma, SCOBY layer formation, pH, and microbial contamination. The results showed that fermentation using honey produced the best combination, which was characterized by a brighter color change, a stable sour aroma, the formation of a thick and pure white SCOBY, and a stable pH of around 4. In contrast, fermentation using Tropicana Slim failed to achieve optimal results. This low-calorie sweetener cannot be metabolized by microbes, resulting in a thin SCOBY and the appearance of green-black mold. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the success of kombucha fermentation is greatly influenced by the availability of simple sugars, which are the main energy source for the SCOBY. In addition, the culture's resistance to microbial contamination also plays an important role in the fermentation process.

This study aims to analyze the legal consequences arising from changes to personal data made by data subjects on the validity of collateral that has been used as security for credit, as well as to examine the forms of legal protection that may be granted to creditors. Changes to personal data such as identity, address, and the debtor’s legal status may lead to legal uncertainty regarding the validity of credit security agreements, particularly those involving Hak Tanggungan (mortgage rights). In this research, the author employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings of this study show that changes to personal data without notification or updates to the security documents have the potential to create administrative discrepancies and legal risks for creditors during the execution of the collateral. Legal protection for creditors needs to be strengthened through the regulation of the debtor’s obligation to report any changes in personal data, updates to the security certificates, and clear provisions outlined in the credit agreement. Accordingly, legal certainty between the creditor and the debtor can be maintained in line with the implementation of Law Number 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection.

Islamic education has a strategic role in shaping the character, morality, and spirituality of students, but it is faced with complex challenges in the era of social, cultural, and technological transformation.

This study was conducted to evaluate the level of conformity between actual mining activities in March 2025 and the monthly sequence design plan at PT Tama Raya's P3000BK14 pit. The evaluation focused on geometric deviations, volume achievement, and changes in field conditions that influenced these discrepancies. The data used included the sequence design, actual topography from the TLS (Low-Scale Land Survey), and weekly production realizations. The results showed significant discrepancies between the planned and actual operations in weeks 2 and 4, primarily in the form of overcuts, undercuts, non-designed contour changes, thinning of the coal seam, and hydrological obstacles such as ponding and unstable drainage. The R2 sequence redesign in week 4 proved to improve the overburden excavation flow but did not fully restore coal access due to persistent geological and water conditions. These findings emphasize the need for more rapid topographic updates, more intensive water handling, and interdepartmental coordination to ensure better synchronization of plans and operations.

Panorama Sileme-Leme is a tourist destination in Humbang Hasundutan Regency, specifically in Huta Sileme-Leme, Parsingguran 2 Village, Pollung District, located at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level. The beautiful natural panorama with Lake Toba as its backdrop and surrounded by expansive plantations makes it an ideal recreational spot. However, the supporting facilities in this area are insufficient to accommodate various recreational activities that could potentially be conducted there. Therefore, landscape planning and the provision of tourist facilities are necessary to make the area more attractive to visitors. The initial idea behind this concept is to plan the Sileme-leme Panorama area as an attractive tourism destination equipped with various supporting facilities for tourism activities. However, because it is located in a hilly area prone to landslides, the concept of a pine forest tourism area was implemented. In addition to enhancing aesthetics and visitor comfort, its primary function is to minimize landslides because pine trees are known as effective soil-stabilizing vegetation. In addition, the pine forest tourism landscape can also have interesting spots such as tall, shady pine trees, restaurants or cafes with views of the pine forest,  and also play areas for children. This helps enhance the visitor's tourism experience and makes them feel close to nature and the beauty of the pine forest. The planning of the Sileme-leme Panorama Area uses a semi-pine forest concept supplemented with various tourism facilities. The implementation of this concept has been considered through various analyses conducted previously. With the implementation of the semi-pine forest concept, it is hoped that the natural potential will not change significantly, and the preservation of nature in this area will remain intact. This planning is expected to make Panorama Sileme-leme a more developed tourist attraction and more appealing to visitors. Additionally, this planning is anticipated to boost the local community's economy.

This article discusses the role of the asbabun nuzul (causes for revelation) or the reasons for the revelation of verses in connecting revelation with the social conditions that underlie it. This study aims to demonstrate that understanding the asbabun nuzul is crucial in interpreting the Qur'an so that the teachings of revelation can be applied appropriately and remain in line with current social realities. This study uses a literature study method by examining various classical and modern commentaries that discuss the relationship between revelation and social conditions during the time of revelation. The results show that understanding the context of the asbabun nuzul not only helps understand the reasons for the revelation of verses but also plays a role in linking them to the various problems and challenges faced by Muslims today. The asbabun nuzul plays a key role in interpreting revelation more flexibly, so that the teachings of the Qur'an can be used to respond to various social issues that arise in each time period. Overall, a strong understanding of the asbabun nuzul can broaden Muslims' insight into the Qur'an and support the application of the teachings of revelation in responding to ever-evolving social changes and dynamics.

The digital era demands that organizations be fast-moving, adaptable, and innovative. With the advancement of information technology, changes in work methods, global competition, and stakeholder demands are becoming increasingly complex. Knowledge Management (KM) plays an important role as a strategic mechanism for identifying, acquiring, storing, sharing, and utilizing knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness and efficiency. In this context, knowledge management becomes one of the important elements for organizations to enhance performance. Knowledge management is not just about collecting data or information, but how organizations can store, share, create, and utilize knowledge to gain a competitive advantage. This article aims to analyze the importance of knowledge management for organizational performance in the digital age, including how the digital era changes the dimensions of knowledge management, how knowledge management contributes to organizational performance, the challenges faced, and their implications. The data obtained for this study were gathered from observations thru interviews with relevant parties and a literature review study by examining the results of empirical research from the past five years (2020–2025). The method used was descriptive literature analysis of 15 scientific articles from accredited national journals. The analysis focuses on the relationship between knowledge management dimensions (knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and application) and organizational performance indicators (financial performance, innovation, productivity, and customer satisfaction). The study results show that the implementation of knowledge management significantly contributes to improving organizational performance, both directly thru increased efficiency and effectiveness of work processes, and indirectly thru strengthening a culture of innovation and organizational learning. This article asserts that an organization's success in the digital age is not solely determined by its ability to adopt technology, but also by its ability to manage and leverage knowledge as a strategic resource. Therefore, knowledge management needs to be systematically integrated into the organization's digital strategy, accompanied by strengthening a learning culture, human resource training, and adaptive information technology systems.

Adolescence represents a transitional phase characterized by complex biological, psychological, and social changes, during which insufficient understanding of reproductive health can lead to risky behaviors such as premarital sexual activity, unintended pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The purpose of the activity titled “Reproductive Health Knowledge Socialization among Adolescents at SMAN 37 Central Maluku in 2025” was to enhance adolescents’ knowledge and awareness regarding reproductive health. This community service program employed a cross-sectional design and involved 54 students from grades X to XII, selected purposively. Data were collected through online pre-tests and post-tests using Google Forms, and the results were analyzed with Microsoft Excel to evaluate changes in participants’ knowledge levels. The findings revealed a notable increase in the average knowledge score from 76% to 89.8%, with the most significant improvements observed in aspects related to reproductive hygiene and understanding of STI risks. The activity proved effective in improving adolescents’ reproductive health literacy and strengthening their awareness of responsible reproductive behavior. Therefore, face-to-face interactive socialization serves as a strategic approach to reinforce healthy understanding and behavior among adolescents in archipelagic regions. Moreover, it can be adopted as a model for developing sustainable health education programs in schools across Eastern Indonesia.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a strategic effort to improve public health from an early age. Elementary schools are ideal environments to instill PHBS values because children are at a developmental stage where habits are easily shaped. However, observations show that many students still have poor hygiene habits, such as not washing hands properly, consuming unsafe snacks, and neglecting school cleanliness.This PHBS education activity through the School Health Program (UKS) aims to improve students’ knowledge, attitudes, and healthy living practices. The implementation methods include interactive health education, handwashing demonstrations, environmental cleanliness simulations, and classroom cleanliness competitions. The evaluation results show a significant increase in students’ PHBS knowledge from 56% to 92%, accompanied by positive behavioral changes such as regular handwashing and proper waste disposal. This program demonstrates that an educational approach through UKS is effective in fostering clean and healthy living habits among elementary school students. It is expected that similar programs will continue sustainably with the involvement of teachers, health workers, and parents to create a healthy and supportive school environment for children’s growth and development.
