he fatherless phenomenon in Bandung City affects family communication patterns and influences how adult women determine partner criteria. This study aims to examine the conversation and conformity orientations in the family communication of fatherless adult women when choosing a life partner. The research employed a qualitative case study approach using purposive sampling, involving four key informants and eight supporting informants. The findings indicate that conversation orientation is more focused on the mother, but is limited by feelings of awkwardness and inequality in speaking positions, reducing openness in discussing life values. The conformity orientation, centered on the mother as the dominant figure, does not always reach the child due to emotional differences and the indirect delivery of expectations, which create emotional distance and tension. The mother assumes a dual role as the source of values, moral guidance, and understanding of family life; however, communication tends to be one-sided and less balanced. The study recommends that individuals who have experienced the loss of a father figure develop self-awareness regarding the influence of past experiences in partner selection, understand the relationship values they believe in, and foster healthy communication to build more stable and meaningful relationships. In addition, the study highlights the importance of creating safe spaces for dialogue within the family, so that openness and equality in communication can emerge. Strengthening social support systems, including peer and community support, can also complement family communication, thereby helping fatherless adult women establish healthier relationship choices in the future.

Financial management in hospitals is a crucial aspect to ensure the sustainability of quality health services. However, the complexity of financial data, which involves various budget components, often creates challenges for hospital management in conducting accurate analysis and budget planning. Therefore, a data-driven approach is required to present financial information in a structured and comprehensible manner. This study examines the application of the K-Means Clustering method to classify hospital financial data based on expenditure characteristics and patterns, with a case study at RSUD Rantau Prapat as part of a community service program. The financial data were analyzed through pre-processing stages, determination of the optimal number of clusters using the Elbow Method, and the implementation of the K-Means algorithm to generate more representative budget groups. The results indicate that clustering hospital financial data into three main categories—routine operational costs, medical service costs, and administrative/personnel costs—provides clearer insights into budget distribution. This supports hospital management in identifying budget allocation priorities, detecting potential inefficiencies, and improving the overall efficiency of financial governance. The limitation of this study lies in the data scope, which only involved a single hospital, thus restricting its generalizability. Future research is recommended to expand the scope to multiple hospitals and integrate alternative clustering methods to obtain more comprehensive results.

Indonesian EFL senior high school students. Traditional EFL instruction often emphasizes lower-order cognitive skills, limiting students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and create in English.

Thematic analysis identified patterns in student experiences and perceptions. Findings reveal that students perceive PBL as significantly more engaging than traditional instruction, fostering enhanced motivation, deeper understanding, and collaborative competencies. Students demonstrated active engagement in higher-order cognitive processes through research activities, critical discussions, and creative project development. Collaborative dimensions particularly enhanced analytical and evaluative thinking as students examined diverse perspectives. Implementation challenges emerged, including time management difficulties, group dynamics issues, resource limitations, and presentation anxiety. These challenges highlight PBL's complexity and the need for comprehensive support systems. The study concludes that while PBL effectively promotes HOTS development in EFL contexts, successful implementation requires systematic support, including project management instruction, collaborative skills development, adequate technological resources, and continuous professional development for educators.  

The growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has changed consumption patterns, especially in the online purchase of skincare products. Shopee, as the largest marketplace, has become the main platform for brands such as Skintific, which has achieved high sales. This phenomenon shows the support of online consumer reviews (Electronic Word of Mouth/E-WOM) and digital shopping experiences (Online Customer Experience/OCE). This study aims to examine the influence of E-WOM and OCE on purchasing decisions for Skintific products on Shopee. This study used a quantitative method with an associative approach. The research sample consisted of 97 respondents obtained through purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed through validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results of the study indicate that E-WOM has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions (calculated t = 5.209 > table t = 1.986; sig. <.001). OCE also has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions (t-count = 7.605 > t-table = 1.986; sig. <.001). Simultaneously, both independent variables have a significant effect on purchasing decisions (F-count = 101.366 > f-table = 3.09; sig. <.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.683 indicates that 68.3% of the variation in purchase decisions can be explained by E-WOM and OCE, while the remaining 31.7% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings confirm that consumer online reviews and positive online shopping experiences play an important role in increasing purchase decisions for Skintific products on Shopee.

The Student Evaluation of Lecturers (EDOM) at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Dr. Soetomo has historically been conducted via Google Forms and processed manually, resulting in slow response times, repetitive recap procedures, and insufficiently documented reporting validity. This study aims to design, build, and evaluate a web-based EDOM system using the Prototype Model (MODEL PROTOTYPE) to improve data collection efficiency, recap accuracy, and the effectiveness of feedback for teaching quality assurance. The development method comprises requirements elicitation with the Quality Assurance Unit through a review of SPMI documents and brief interviews, architectural and interface design (Laravel, MVC pattern, and MySQL), staged prototyping, and rapid iterations based on stakeholder feedback until functional conformity is achieved. The resulting system provides authentication and role-based authorization (Admin, GPM, Lecturer, Student), odd/even period management, a question bank employing a Likert scale, anonymous questionnaire submission, score recap per lecturer and per category (pedagogical, professional, personal, social), dashboard visualizations, and report export to support governance needs. Functional evaluation was conducted through black-box testing on core scenarios (login, period scheduling, submission, recap, and export) and indicated conformance to specifications. User acceptance evaluation employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention; the results indicate positive acceptance and potential for operational adoption. Practically, the prototype approach accelerates requirement alignment, reduces the risk of mis-specification, and facilitates change control, while the Laravel-based implementation supports maintainability, role-based access security, and further feature development. The study is limited to a single faculty; future work may include SSO integration, audit trails, and longitudinal, cross-semester analytics for more comprehensive monitoring of lecturer performance.

Kampung Kelam Pagi, Dompak Village, focused on mapping the local road network as a foundation for sustainable development planning. The data collection process combined observation, interviews, and digital recording, resulting in both technical data (such as road length, width, and condition) and social data (including road naming conventions and patterns of community usage). The findings indicate notable disparities in infrastructure quality, with main roads mostly paved, while smaller neighborhood roads remain unpaved and lack adequate street lighting. This disparity in infrastructure quality highlights the need for targeted interventions to address the basic infrastructure needs of the community. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of community involvement in the mapping process, which not only strengthened the social value of the maps but also fostered collective awareness of the importance of spatial data in village development. The discussion further underscores that local data availability is crucial for more participatory, inclusive, and community-oriented village planning, where decisions are based on accurate, locally sourced information. This study demonstrates that KKN activities do more than just provide technical data; they also help reinforce social capacity, empowering local communities to actively contribute to sustainable development efforts. Ultimately, such initiatives contribute to creating more resilient and well-informed communities that can participate in and benefit from development planning.

Speech delay in children is a developmental issue commonly encountered in society, which can affect various aspects of a child's life, including communication, social interaction, and academic development. Early detection of speech delay is crucial for providing appropriate interventions to minimize its long-term impact on the child. This study aims to introduce the use of machine learning algorithms in detecting speech delay symptoms in children. Three machine learning algorithms applied in this study are Naïve Bayes, C4.5, and K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN). These algorithms are used to classify speech delay symptoms based on health data, medical history, and environmental factors such as speaking habits and eating patterns. The outreach was conducted at Puskesmas Kota Rantauprapat with the involvement of parents and healthcare providers as participants. The experimental results showed that all three algorithms performed well in terms of accuracy, though with varying error rates. Naïve Bayes achieved relatively high accuracy but had a higher false positive rate compared to C4.5 and K-NN. C4.5 provided more stable results and was easier to interpret due to its decision tree structure. Meanwhile, K-NN performed better with data that had irregular distribution. This outreach is expected to assist both the community and healthcare providers in early detection of speech delay in children, providing a more efficient and affordable means for early intervention, which ultimately leads to better outcomes for children with speech delay.

Obesity among college students is a public health issue that is gaining increasing attention because it is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart disease, and can reduce quality of life and academic productivity. College students, as a group of early adults, are in a transition phase towards independence and are therefore vulnerable to lifestyle changes, including unhealthy eating patterns, fast food consumption, low physical activity due to busy studies, irregular sleep habits, and high academic stress. This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with obesity among students at the Islamic University of Ogan Komering Ilir in 2025. This study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. A sample of 95 students was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and body mass index (BMI) measurement to determine respondents' nutritional status. Independent variables included diet, physical activity, sleep quality, stress levels, and a family history of obesity. The results showed a prevalence of obesity of 17.9%. Bivariate analysis found a significant association between obesity and unhealthy diet (p=0.002), low physical activity (p=0.000), poor sleep quality (p=0.000), and high stress levels (p=0.001). Meanwhile, a family history of obesity showed a tendency to have an effect but was not statistically significant. These findings indicate that obesity in college students is largely influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of health promotion interventions on campus, such as balanced nutrition counseling, increased access to sports facilities, stress management, and education on healthy sleep patterns. Promotive and preventive efforts undertaken from a young age are expected to reduce the risk of obesity and chronic disease in the future.

This study discusses the optimization of the allocation of productive waqf funds using MATLAB through a case study on the Waqf Board of the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta. Productive waqf has an important role in supporting socio-economic empowerment, but its management often faces challenges in determining the efficient distribution of funds. The purpose of this research is to develop a mathematical model to optimize the allocation of waqf funds in various sectors such as education, health, micro enterprises, and social programs. The research method uses a quantitative approach with optimization techniques implemented in MATLAB to simulate various fund distribution scenarios.

This study aims to understand the dynamics of children’s communication within families after parental infidelity in Subang Regency, with a focus on conflict, problem-solving strategies, and conformity. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method, with data collected through purposive sampling involving four key informants and five supporting informants. The findings indicate that post-affair conflicts often lead to children’s withdrawal from family interactions, while problem-solving efforts are not always successful in restoring trust and repairing family relationships due to unresolved emotional wounds. Children’s conformity tends to become increasingly closed and restrictive, with the family no longer functioning as a safe space to express feelings and share concerns. Parental infidelity significantly disrupts family communication, particularly in parent–child interactions, as children tend to feel insecure, lose trust, and adopt rigid or defensive communication patterns. This condition reflects a broader psychological impact in which children experience emotional distress, confusion, and difficulties in establishing meaningful relationships. Moreover, the study highlights that unresolved family communication breakdowns may contribute to long-term consequences, such as reduced self-esteem and heightened vulnerability to stress. The research underscores the importance of maintaining open, honest, and empathetic communication to support children’s emotional recovery after parental infidelity. It also recommends seeking professional assistance, such as counselors or psychologists, when families are unable to independently rebuild healthy communication patterns. This provides not only emotional relief but also preventive measures for further deterioration of family relationships.
