Decision Support Systems (DSS) can become inaccurate when used with imprecise, incomplete, or dynamically changing data. Fuzzy logic techniques based on conventional methodologies may be strong at handling vagueness, but are unable to adapt their behavior in response to different data distributions on their own. This paper recommends the creation of an Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Integration Framework that dynamically updates membership functions and rule weights in response to data variation to enhance decision accuracy under uncertainty. The described framework combines Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) with learning-based parameter update concepts borrowed from adaptive optimisation. The model was simulated and executed on a hybrid algorithmic platform that included gradient-based parameter tuning and iterative feedback learning. Experimental tests were conducted on uncertainty-generated data sets to compare adaptive and conventional fuzzy models in terms of ISME (Root Mean Square Error), convergence stability, and decision accuracy. Previous results show that the adaptive model achieves a 21.4% increase in accuracy and a 28% improvement in convergence rate compared to non-adaptive fuzzy systems. Moreover, the model ensures stable performance even in the presence of random data perturbations, demonstrating its ability to handle uncertainty. This book incorporates a self-tuning fuzzy decision model that converts static inference structures to dynamic evolving decision engines. The outcomes establish a foundation for next-generation smart DSS for real-time optimization in uncertainty.

The third trimester of pregnancy is a phase prone to anxiety due to physical and psychological changes and preparation for childbirth. Knowledge of pregnant women plays an important role in shaping mental readiness and reducing anxiety. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge levels and anxiety levels of pregnant women in the third trimester. The study used a quantitative correlational approach with 24 respondents selected through accidental sampling technique at Jatirogo Community Health Center, Central Kalimantan. Data were collected using a closed questionnaire and analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 41.7 % of respondents had good knowledge and 66.7% did not experience anxiety. The Chi-Square test produced a significance value of p = 0.018, indicating a significant relationship between knowledge levels and anxiety of pregnant women. In conclusion, the higher the level of knowledge, the lower the anxiety experienced by pregnant women in the third trimester.

This study aims to evaluate the Resource Development and Installation (RDI) technique to reduce symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in female victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence (which falls under the category of intimate partner violence/IPV) is a global public health problem that contributes significantly to women's mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recent systematic evidence shows a strong association between various forms of IPV and adverse mental health outcomes in women, with large variations in prevalence across contexts. Resource Development and Installation (RDI) is a psychological stabilization procedure within EMDR aimed at generating positive resources in individuals exposed to traumatic experiences. The research method used in this study was multiple baseline with a single case (single case research), namely research conducted on subjects with the aim of determining the magnitude of the effect of treatment given repeatedly over a certain period. This study involved three adult female participants who experienced trauma symptoms due to violence perpetrated by an intimate partner in a domestic context. The data analysis technique used in this study was visual inspection by comparing changes in trauma scores in respondents between the baseline and intervention phases. Trauma symptoms were measured using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ). There was a decrease in HTQ scores from an average of 2.9 (presence of PTSD symptoms) before the intervention to 2.1 (minimal). Resources Development and Installation were effective in reducing trauma symptoms in female victims of violence. This was evident in the decrease in trauma symptom scores between before and after the provision of Resources Development and Installation to female victims of violence.

Student mental health is an important issue in higher education, yet many students remain reluctant to utilize counseling services. Several factors are suspected to influence students’ willingness to participate in counseling, including stress levels, social support, public stigma, and self-stigma. This study aimed to determine the relationship between stress level, social support, public stigma, and self-stigma with students’ intention to engage in mental health counseling. The research used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 202 first-year nursing students from Campus I of Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang were selected using a total sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed that most students had a moderate level of stress (52.8%), adequate social support (58.1%), moderate public stigma (53.7%), and moderate self-stigma (55.3%). Students’ willingness to seek counseling was also in the moderate category (63.4%). Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between stress level (p=0.000), social support (p=0.002), public stigma (p=0.000), and self-stigma (p=0.000) with the intention to engage in mental health counseling. These findings highlight the importance of promotive and preventive approaches from educational institutions to enhance students’ awareness and access to mental health counseling services.

Oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and chromatin instability are usually associated with male infertility and undermine the sperm DNA integrity. Recently, Vitamin K₂ (menaquinone) became a bioactive compound whose regulation action can be found in both apoptosis and transcriptional signaling. This study examines how Vitamin K₂ can be protective in the regulation of apoptotic pathways and stability in sperm chromatin by an integrative experimental and in silico analysis. Vitamin K₂ levels, DNA fragmentation level of infertile men's serum and semen samples (Aniline Blue), and the expression levels of apoptosis-associated genes (BAX, BCL-2, and CASP-3) in the samples were examined by qRT-PCR. The characterization of Vitamin K₂ binding affinity to apoptotic proteins was done using dynamics simulations. Findings showed that high levels of Vitamin K₂ had a significant positive correlation with reduced levels of DNA fragmentation and good control of apoptotic genes with reduced BAX and CASP-3 and increased expression of BCL-2. In general, the results indicate Vitamin K₂ as a potential regulator of sperm death and chromatin integrity that provides new therapeutic understanding on how male infertile patients can be treated.

This study examines the Coldplay Gate phenomenon as a reflection of gender inequality and weak ethical relations in the workplace. The event, which began as a personal issue in the entertainment sphere, evolved into a public discourse because it revealed the vulnerability of women within organizational power structures. The workplace, which should uphold professionalism, instead demonstrates gender bias, subordination, and dysfunctional practices that undermine institutional integrity. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study as the main method. Data were collected from news articles, research reports, and official publications from both national and international institutions such as the World Bank Gender Data Portal (2024), Statistics Indonesia (BPS, 2024), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and Populix (2024). Data analysis was conducted using content analysis to identify key themes, including women’s subordination, abuse of power relations, and weak organizational ethics. The findings indicate that Coldplay Gate should not be understood merely as a personal scandal but as a reflection of unequal workplace structures. Empirical data reinforce this conclusion, such as women’s labor participation of only 55.41 percent, limited representation in strategic positions (15 percent of CEOs are women), and high levels of workplace discrimination (45 percent). These findings highlight the need for ethical awareness and gender sensitivity to be internalized within organizational culture. The study concludes that formal regulations must be accompanied by the development of a fair, safe, and inclusive professional culture, enabling workplaces to function as equal spaces for all individuals without barriers based on gender or power relations.

Dry packing with the principle of hibernation aims to suppress the metabolic processes of an organism so that it can survive under minimal environmental conditions. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the dry packing method on the survival of freshwater crayfish (Cherax quadricarrinatus) tested with dry packing for 15, 20, and 25 hours. Before packing, the crayfish were ensured to be healthy and free from deformities. The packing was carried out using styrofoam lined with cardboard and filled with dried banana leaves, with a density of 20 crayfish of 10 cm size per package. The results showed that packing with dried banana leaves for 25 hours resulted in a 100% survival rate after packing, and the crayfish were able to become active again after 3 days. The dry packing method using dried banana leaves was proven effective in maintaining the survival of freshwater crayfish under live conditions during long packing durations. This study contributes to the development of efficient packing techniques for transporting freshwater crayfish alive.

Academic planning is one form of planning the teaching and learning process in state universities, aimed at achieving educational goals based on the standards set. One important aspect of academic planning is forecasting the number of new students. This study compares two forecasting methods, Fuzzy Time Series (FTS) and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), in predicting the number of new students in the Statistics Study Program at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. Forecasting the number of new students is crucial for determining various policies, such as resource allocation and providing adequate facilities. The results of the study show that the ARIMA method produces more accurate predictions with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 0.35%, which is lower than the FTS method. This indicates that ARIMA is more effective in predicting the number of new students in the Statistics Study Program at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo and can serve as a reference to improve academic planning quality in higher education institutions.

Food security is a crucial foundation in breaking the cycle of poverty, particularly in rural areas that are vulnerable to limited food access. The Government of Bangun Purba Village has implemented a food security assistance program through the distribution of livestock and crop seedlings as a strategy to improve both food availability and community income. This study aims to describe the implementation process of the program, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and assess its impact on poverty alleviation in the village. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants include the village head, program coordinator, members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), and program beneficiaries. Data analysis is based on David C. Korten’s Theory of Successful Program Implementation, which encompasses three main indicators: the program, implementing organization, and target group. The results show that the food security program in Bangun Purba Village has contributed positively to improving food availability for some community members. However, its effectiveness has not yet reached an optimal level due to uneven distribution of aid, lack of technical assistance, limited socialization, and weak coordination among stakeholders.

Clinical practice is a crucial stage in nursing education that requires students to apply theoretical knowledge in real healthcare settings. The transition to a clinical environment often triggers anxiety, as students face competency demands, professional responsibilities, and direct interactions with patients. This study aims to determine the anxiety levels of fifth-semester nursing students prior to clinical practice at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. A descriptive quantitative design was employed with a sample of 35 students selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and analyzed descriptively with Microsoft Excel to obtain frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that most students experienced severe anxiety (31%), followed by moderate (29%), mild (23%), no anxiety (14%), and panic-level anxiety (3%). These findings indicate that the majority of nursing students experience anxiety before clinical practice, predominantly at severe and moderate levels. Therefore, psychological support and mental preparation programs are essential to help students transition optimally into the clinical environment.

This paper discusses the concept of the influence of the end times on moral behavior. Eschatology is one of the important doctrines in Christian theology that not only discusses end-time events, such as the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the Last Judgment, but also has a real influence on the moral life of believers. This study aims to analyze how the understanding of the end times affects moral behavior in daily life. Awareness of the coming of Christ and the Last Judgment encourages believers to live in faith, obedience, and love, which are reflected in concrete actions and the formation of character in accordance with Christian values. Various theological views such as premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism provide different perspectives, yet all emphasize the importance of living with an orientation toward eternity. Amid the challenges of modern times, a proper understanding of eschatology becomes an important foundation so that believers are not trapped in fear or incorrect interpretations, but are instead able to use it as motivation to live morally, faithfully, and with hope. Therefore, the concept of the end times plays a significant role in shaping moral behavior that reflects a living faith and readiness to welcome eternal life.

Digital transformation has revolutionized Islamic da'wah and counseling services, providing opportunities to reach a wider audience, especially millennials and Gen Z.

The quality of education is a crucial issue in human resource development, because the quality of educational services has a direct impact on learning outcomes, the relevance of graduates, and the competitiveness of the nation. However, the implementation of quality management in educational institutions still faces challenges in conceptual, strategic, and practical aspects. This article aims to answer the research question: how are the basic concepts of educational quality understood and implemented in the context of educational management in Indonesia? The method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from scientific articles sourced from Google Scholar and Publish or Perish with the keyword “basic concepts of quality.” Of the 22 articles found in the 2021–2025 range, five articles were selected through a screening and validation process for further analysis. The results of the study show three main themes. First, educational quality is understood as a quality standard that encompasses effectiveness, efficiency, and student satisfaction. Second, quality improvement strategies emphasize the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) and school-based management (SBM) involving all elements of educational institutions. Third, quality implementation is realized through academic management, learning quality, and a continuous monitoring system. The conclusion shows that education quality management is an integrated process, not only focusing on results but also on continuous improvement.

This study discusses the discourse of fiqh al-nawāzil which is rooted in the fundamental disparity between Islamic Family Law (classical inheritance and will law) and Contemporary Law (Hajj queue regulation Law No. 8 of 2019 and fiat of the transfer of one person to the Director General of PHU No. 130 of 2020). This background raises a normative dilemma when the right to worship (al-haq al-'ibādi) is threatened with forfeiture because classical instruments clash with the principle of lā waṣiyyata li wārith and the limits of al-thuluth. The main purpose of this research is to propose a Mandatory Will as a transformative solution of Islamic Law to provide a fair and strong sharia foundation for the existing state administrative policies. The method used is Fiqh al-Nawāzil with the approach of Istislah (Maslahah Mursalah) and Qiyās Istiḥsānī, which places the portion of Hajj as an obligation that must be fulfilled (al-wājib al-waṣiyyah) equivalent to debt, so that it can methodologically neutralize the limitation of classical inheritance. The conclusion shows that the Obligatory Will has succeeded in bridging this conflict, providing a Legal Impact in the form of modernizing Islamic Family Law, and affirming the ability of Islamic Law to realize maqāṣid al-sharī'ah (ḥifẓ al-dīn and ḥifẓ al-māl) in the contemporary era. The recommendation urges that amendments to the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and hajj regulations (including the strengthening of Kepdirjen 130/2020) be immediately carried out to institutionalize the Obligatory Will, accompanied by the DSN/MUI Fatwa to prevent the commercialization (tadāwul) of the hajj portion and ensure substantive justice for the heirs.

The advancement of information technology has profoundly transformed the criminal justice system, particularly in judicial proceedings that now utilize digital platforms such as e-court and e-litigation. Although judicial digitalization aims to enhance efficiency and transparency, it simultaneously raises critical concerns regarding judicial independence in the exercise of adjudicative authority. This study employs a normative juridical approach to examine how digital transformation affects the principle of judicial independence and to reconstruct its concept in accordance with the rule of law. The analysis is based on statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and principles governing judicial power. The findings indicate that the integration of technology into judicial processes may create administrative and technological dependencies that potentially undermine the autonomy of judges in deciding criminal cases. Therefore, a redefinition of judicial independence is necessary—one that extends beyond institutional guarantees to include ethical and personal integrity aspects through the reinforcement of judicial accountability and technological transparency. This study recommends the formulation of ethical standards and technical regulations that explicitly limit administrative or external interference with judges in the digital judicial environment, thereby maintaining a balance between technological efficiency and substantive justice.
