Umbilical cord infection remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among newborns, particularly in areas where knowledge and health practices are still limited. Padellegan Village is one of the regions where some mothers continue to practice traditional cord care methods, such as using herbal mixtures or non-sterile materials, which increases the risk of omphalitis. Initial situation analysis indicates that 40–60% of postpartum mothers are not yet familiar with the principles of clean and dry cord care (dry cord care), and access to accurate health information is still limited. Based on this condition, education on umbilical cord care is essential to improve mothers’ and health cadres’ understanding and skills in preventing neonatal infections. This community service activity focuses on providing evidence-based education regarding safe cord care techniques, infection risk factors, and danger signs that need to be recognized. Padellegan Village was selected due to the high need for maternal–neonatal health education and the low level of community knowledge related to cord care. This activity is expected to bring positive changes, such as improved maternal behavior in performing proper cord care, reduced use of unhygienic traditional methods, and strengthened roles of health cadres in monitoring neonatal health. Enhancing appropriate cord care practices can reduce the risk of infection in newborns, thereby contributing to improving the overall health status of the community in Padellegan Village.

The use of social media is no longer just for information and entertainment, but has developed into a strategic means in building a positive self-image in the eyes of the public. School students are generally active users of social media whose intensity of use is quite high in daily life. As a group of teenagers who are still in the phase of finding their identity and tend to be emotionally labile, they need the right education to be able to use social media wisely, productively, and responsibly. Community Service activities carried out for students of SMK Wiyata Satya are expected to increase understanding of the importance of personal branding from an early age. Through this activity, students are not only given socialization about the concept of personal branding and social media ethics, but also equipped with practical skills in compiling portfolios and fostering awareness of career planning and goal achievement. At the end of the activity, students presented their self-concept that had been prepared and responded through a questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of the entire series of activities.

Tawhid education is a fundamental aspect of Islamic education that serves as the foundation for the formation of faith and individual religious character. The family plays a crucial role as the primary educational environment in instilling the values of Tawhid from an early age. However, in modern social realities, the role of families in Tawhid education often faces various challenges, necessitating support from non-formal Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to describe the role of families in Tawhid education through their involvement in the Majlis Taklim ‘Izzatin Nisa Tangerang. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation of the Majlis Taklim administrators, the congregation, and ongoing learning activities. The results show that families play an active role in Tawhid education through parental role models, the habit of worship at home, and the strengthening of understanding of the faith gained from the Majlis Taklim activities. The Majlis Taklim ‘Izzatin Nisa serves as an educational tool that strengthens the congregation's understanding of Tawhid and encourages its implementation in family life. Thus, the synergy between families and religious study groups has been proven to contribute to strengthening monotheism education and building religious awareness within the community.

This research investigates competency gaps between maritime education curricula and Industry 4.0 shipping industry requirements from stakeholder perspectives within Indonesian maritime training contexts. Employing qualitative-dominant mixed methods, the study gathered insights through Focus Group Discussions, interviews, and surveys with forty-two participants comprising maritime students, lecturers, and veteran practitioners at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Pelayaran Jakarta. Thematic analysis revealed substantial competency gaps (mean gap score: 1.96/5.0) between stakeholder-perceived competency importance (4.46/5.0) and current curriculum adequacy (2.50/5.0). Cybersecurity awareness exhibited the largest gap (2.6 points), followed by data analytics (2.2 points) and AI/machine learning understanding (2.3 points).

Findings demonstrate urgent need for competency-based curriculum transformation integrating digital literacy, data analytics, cybersecurity, and adaptive learning capabilities alongside traditional maritime competencies. The research emphasizes integrated remediation strategies combining systematic curriculum reform, enhanced pedagogical approaches prioritizing practical hands-on learning, strengthened industry-academia partnerships, comprehensive faculty development programs, and strategic infrastructure investments preparing maritime graduates for technologically transformed operational environments.

Violence against children remains a serious violation of human rights that continues to occur in various social environments, including religious-based educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools, where children are in a highly vulnerable position both physically and psychologically. One case that drew public attention occurred at the Pesona Al-Qur’an Islamic Boarding School in Pesawaran Regency, which was resolved through a restorative justice approach without proceeding to court. This study aims to examine the mechanism of law enforcement against perpetrators of child abuse at the institution and to analyze the factors hindering the implementation of restorative justice in such cases. Using a normative-empirical research method, this study analyzes applicable laws and regulations supported by field data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that law enforcement was carried out through an investigation by the Pesawaran Resort Police, followed by the termination of prosecution by the Pesawaran District Prosecutor’s Office based on Regulation of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2020 concerning the Termination of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice. Case resolution was conducted through mediation involving the perpetrator, the victim, and their families, facilitated by law enforcement officers, resulting in an agreement in the form of an apology and compensation to the victim. However, the implementation of restorative justice still faces several obstacles, including limited public understanding, concerns about the loss of deterrent effects, power imbalances between victims and perpetrators, potential pressure on victims to accept reconciliation, and weak supervision of post-mediation agreements; therefore, strengthening oversight, improving the understanding of law enforcement officers and the community, and optimizing the role of child protection institutions are essential to ensure that restorative justice truly prioritizes the best interests of the child and provides substantive justice.

This study examines the phenomenon of K-Pop slang usage among young generations and its influence on lifestyle and social identity formation. The research background reveals that K-Pop culture has significantly impacted language practices, particularly through the adoption of specific terms within fan communities. The objective is to analyze how K-Pop slang functions as a linguistic creativity tool and identity marker among Indonesian youth. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from social media platform X (Twitter) through purposive sampling of posts containing K-Pop slang terms. Findings indicate that K-Pop slang encompasses semantic shifts, acronyms, abbreviations, and new terminology that strengthen community solidarity and collective identity. The implications suggest that while K-Pop slang serves as creative expression and social bonding mechanism, excessive usage may affect proper Indonesian language proficiency in academic contexts. This research contributes to understanding the balance between linguistic creativity, global cultural influence, and Indonesian language preservation.

Public service in the transportation sector plays a strategic role in ensuring public safety and comfort, particularly through roadworthiness testing (Kir) for public transportation.

This study examines the negotiation of self-loss through the denial defence mechanism in Rosé’s album Rosie (2024) using a Freudian psychoanalytic approach. Popular music is positioned as a cultural text that articulates psychological conflict and emotional vulnerability, particularly within toxic romantic relationships. Employing qualitative textual analysis and close reading, this research focuses on three selected songs namely Number One Girl, Toxic Till the End, and Stay a Little Longer to explore how denial operates as an ego defence in managing emotional pain and relational trauma. The findings reveal that denial functions through three interrelated forms: affective denial, cognitive denial, and symbolic denial. Rather than serving merely as a temporary protective mechanism, denial operates continuously to sustain emotional attachment, delay confrontation with loss, and gradually erode the subject’s autonomy and identity. This process results in a negotiated form of self-loss, in which the subject remains psychologically functional while experiencing progressive fragmentation of the self. By reading the album as a coherent psychological narrative rather than isolated songs, this study contributes a novel conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of self-loss and denial in popular music, while extending psychoanalytic approaches to the analysis of contemporary female musical texts and affective trauma.
