This research employedia quantitativeiapproachiwith aicross-sectionalidesign. Aitotal ofi169 femaleistudentsiwere selected using stratified random sampling. Body image data were collected using the Body Self Relation Questionnaire–Appearance Scale, while nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index for Age (BMI-for-Age) and Height for Age (HFA). Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results indicated that there was no significant relationship between nutritional status based on BMI-for-Age and body image, with a p-value of 0.329. Similarly, no significant relationship was found between Height-for-Age and body image among female adolescents, with a p-value of 0.892. Most respondents were aged 16–17 years, had a negative body image perception, normal BMI-for-Age nutritional status, and normal Height-for-Age category. These findings suggest that body image among female adolescents is not solely influenced by nutritional status but may also be affected by other psychosocial and environmental factors. Therefore, future research is recommended to apply a cohort study design and explore other determinants of body image, such as social media exposure, peer influence, and infectious diseases, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of factors affecting adolescent body image.

Cultural traditions play a vital role in sustainable tourism by shaping social values, collective identity, and long-term cultural continuity. Caos Dahar, a Javanese practice involving communal food preparation and sharing, serves as an expression of gratitude, spirituality, and social cohesion. Despite its cultural significance, it has been rarely examined from a management perspective, particularly in relation to its integration into sustainable tourism systems. This study analyzes Caos Dahar as a form of cultural tradition management and explores its contribution to sustainable tourism. The research highlights the lack of management-oriented studies combining cultural traditions with sustainability frameworks. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, using secondary qualitative data from documented practices and relevant academic literature. Data were analyzed using thematic categorization and interpreted through a multi-theoretical framework, including motivation theory (ERG), social network theory, and cultural philosophy. The findings reveal that Caos Dahar functions as a managed cultural practice, involving implicit management processes such as planning, coordination, and role distribution. The tradition fulfills existential, relational, and growth-oriented needs, sustains social networks, and exhibits adaptability across various cultural dimensions. These characteristics enable Caos Dahar to contribute to the social, economic, and cultural aspects of sustainability within tourism. The study concludes that cultural traditions can be viewed as intangible strategic resources when properly managed. This research expands management and tourism studies by offering a management-oriented interpretation of cultural traditions and moving beyond outcome-based sustainability perspectives toward process-oriented cultural tradition management.

The strict and binding nature of customary sanctions has significantly increased legal awareness and minimized social conflicts within the village.

Information technology (IT) infrastructure planning plays a strategic role in supporting organizational performance and achieving business objectives. However, many organizations experience misalignment between IT infrastructure planning and organizational needs, leading to inefficiencies, limited system integration, and suboptimal utilization of IT investments (Maulana, 2024; Njanka et al., 2025). This study aims to analyze the suitability of IT infrastructure planning with organizational needs using a quantitative approach. The research framework integrates the Strategic Alignment Model (SAM), Strategic Alignment Maturity Model (SAMM), and COBIT 2019 governance principles. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to IT managers and system users. A total of 85 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and gap analysis. The results indicate that IT infrastructure planning is moderately aligned with organizational needs, particularly in supporting operational activities. Nevertheless, significant gaps were identified in system integration, scalability, and long-term infrastructure planning. These findings highlight the importance of continuous evaluation and governance-based IT planning to enhance alignment and ensure sustainable organizational performance.

This study explores the use of English movies as an alternative approach to English language learning for university students, examining its impact on language skills, learning motivation, and cultural awareness. A qualitative narrative inquiry method was employed to capture students' experiences and perspectives on learning through films. The research involved eight university students, selected purposefully, and data was gathered through in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that watching English movies significantly improves students' listening and speaking skills, vocabulary, fluency, and real-world language usage. English subtitles were found to play a critical role in enhancing students' understanding of sentence structures, spelling, and contextual meanings. Additionally, films were perceived as an engaging learning tool that reduced monotony and boosted motivation compared to traditional methods reliant on textbooks and grammar exercises. Moreover, students reported an increased understanding of cultural nuances, as films exposed them to authentic communication styles, expressions, and social contexts. However, the effectiveness of film-based learning depends on its consistent integration, the careful selection of films that match students' language proficiency levels, and structured pedagogical support. This study concludes that films, when systematically implemented, offer a dynamic and relevant method to engage students and enhance their language learning experience, making it a promising educational tool in higher education.

This article explores the concept and implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia, an approach currently at a crucial crossroads within the criminal justice system. Rather than solely focusing on punishment, restorative justice offers a path towards repairing relationships between victims, offenders, and the community, seeking solutions oriented around conflict resolution. Through comprehensive analysis, this paper identifies the philosophical foundations and regulations supporting the adoption of restorative justice, while dissecting the dynamics of its application across various levels of legal processes in Indonesia. However, this noble endeavor is not without its challenges, ranging from institutional resistance and uneven understanding to harmonization with the conventional criminal law framework. Behind every case lies a human story yearning for more substantive justice. Therefore, this article argues that the success of restorative justice does not merely lie in its legal umbrella, but in our ability to understand and embrace the human dimension in every dispute resolution process. Consequently, this paper recommends adaptive and collaborative strategies to strengthen the role of restorative justice, ensuring it can guide our criminal justice system towards a more just and dignified future for all parties.

Health services in Indonesia are no longer positioned solely as social services but have also developed into business activities managed professionally. This development gives rise to legal consequences that necessitate the regulation of health business law in order to ensure the quality of health services and to protect patients’ rights as consumers of health services. This study aims to analyze the role of health business law as an instrument in ensuring the quality of health services in Indonesia, particularly following the enactment of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. The research method employed is normative legal research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Primary legal materials include Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, Law Number 44 of 2009 concerning Hospitals, and Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. Secondary legal materials are obtained from textbooks and scientific journals relevant to business law and health law. The results of the study indicate that health business law plays a strategic role in controlling health service business practices through the regulation of licensing, service quality standards, patient safety, legal liability of business actors, and consumer protection mechanisms. The consistent and equitable implementation of health business law is able to ensure the quality of health services without disregarding humanitarian values, professional ethics in health services, and the objectives of national health development.

Financial literacy plays a vital role in enhancing family well-being, particularly in the management of household income and expenditures. As the primary managers of household finances, homemakers need to possess a sound understanding of prudent financial management. This educational program was designed to provide and enhance financial literacy for homemakers who are members of the PKK organization in Mijen Village, Kebonagung District, Demak Regency. The implementation methods included the delivery of financial literacy materials accompanied by relevant examples, interactive discussions and question-and-answer sessions, as well as the provision of financial strategy recommendations aimed at achieving household financial well-being. The results of the program indicate that the core materials can be categorized into financial literacy enhancement, effective financial management, and investment (saving). The majority of participants allocate approximately 70% to 80% of their income to routine expenditures, while the remaining portion is used for non-routine needs and investments or savings.

Technology-based information systems play an important role in financial management to enhance transparency. Financial transparency is a crucial factor for the sustainability of financial institutions and for building members’ trust. This study aims to analyze the implementation of a technology-based information system in financial management to improve transparency at the Credit Union Savings and Loan Cooperative Bahtera Sejahtera. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that financial management at Credit Union Bahtera Sejahtera has been conducted online using the ESCETE application. Through this application, members are able to independently access financial data, while the financial reporting process is carried out transparently and can be accounted for. Furthermore, financial management is implemented through several stages, including planning and budgeting, recording and processing financial transactions, internal control, reporting and accountability, as well as the application of financial governance and compliance. The implementation of a technology-based information system has proven to enhance transparency, strengthen accountability, and support increased member trust in cooperative management.

The role of accounting in supporting the smooth execution of management tasks is very prominent, particularly in the planning and control functions. Accounting is able to provide financial information that is presented in the form of financial statements. Financial statements are considered fairly presented when they are prepared in accordance with the provisions of PSAK; the characteristics of such financial statements must be understandable, relevant, reliable, and comparable. In the preparation of financial statements, there are rules for recording transactions, which are known as the double-entry bookkeeping system. This system is commonly and widely used in the preparation of financial statements. However, financial statements in restaurant businesses in the city of Surabaya are prepared using a single-entry bookkeeping system. Theoretically, when financial statements are prepared using a single-entry system and the existing records do not show a complete summary of transactions, many specific difficulties will be encountered in preparing accurate financial statements. In addition, there is no direct way to determine whether the balances are correct, thus posing the risk of bias, inaccuracy, and misinterpretation, resulting in financial statements that do not comply with financial accounting standards. This condition motivated the author to conduct research on restaurant businesses in the city of Surabaya. In this study, the researcher restated the financial statements of restaurant businesses in Surabaya for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025 using the double-entry system, and presented them in accordance with the provisions of PSAK No. 1 concerning the Presentation of Financial Statements. 

Students in multilingual higher education contexts often face linguistic and identity challenges when engaging with formal and normative academic Indonesian. In such settings, translanguaging emerges as a natural and strategic practice that allows students to draw on their full linguistic repertoires, including local languages, to construct meaning and negotiate academic understanding. This study aims to examine students’ translanguaging practices and their contribution to the formation of academic identity in Indonesian language learning at the university level. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with students and lecturers, and document analysis of learning materials and students’ academic assignments. The findings reveal that translanguaging functions as both a cognitive and affective strategy that facilitates conceptual understanding, enhances participation, and strengthens students’ academic confidence. Moreover, translanguaging plays a crucial role in shaping an inclusive and hybrid academic identity, positioning local languages as legitimate pedagogical resources rather than obstacles. These findings highlight the need to recognize translanguaging within language policy and curriculum design to support equitable and context-sensitive academic learning in multilingual higher education.

This study investigates the role of local language integration as a pedagogical strategy in strengthening academic literacy and shaping students’ identities in multilingual higher education contexts. The study is grounded in the sociolinguistic reality that many students continue to use local languages in their daily lives, while academic learning predominantly relies on formal Indonesian, which is often abstract and normative. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with lecturers and students, and document analysis. The findings reveal that local language integration functions as a cognitive, affective, and cultural bridge in academic learning. Local languages are employed as a medium for initial meaning-making, conceptual discussion, and cultural reflection before students develop ideas in academic Indonesian. This practice enhances student participation, strengthens academic literacy, and reinforces local identity within academic spaces. The study concludes that local languages are not obstacles but valuable pedagogical resources. Therefore, their integration should be systematically incorporated into higher education curricula to promote inclusive, contextual, and linguistically just learning environments.

The mental health crisis in Indonesia is increasingly alarming, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, social stigma, and unequal access to professional services. A clinical approach alone is not enough to address this complex problem. This study offers a novelty in the form of an integrative approach: revitalizing the role of families and communities based on Islamic values (rahmah, ta'awun, shabr, syura, tarbiyah ruhiyah) combined with the use of digital social communities as a medium for education, discussion, and support systems. The research method used is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach, reviewing national and international literature, social support theory (Cohen & Wills, 1985), religious coping (Koenig, 2012), and Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory (1979). The results of the study show that families play a strategic role in the prevention, assistance, and referral of mental health cases, while digital communities are effective as spaces for education and emotional validation, with scalability and anonymity as their main strengths. Concrete strategies offered include family education, stigma-free campaigns on social media, spiritual care hotlines, and cross-sector collaboration. This approach is in line with the collectivist culture of Indonesian Muslim society and is more adaptive in the digital era. This research is expected to serve as a conceptual foundation for practical programs, public policy, and further research to create a more caring, stigma-free, and resilient society in the face of mental health crises.

The rapid development of social media has made fashion brands, especially modest fashion, increasingly collaborate with influencers to increase brand awareness. This study discusses the role of influencer credibility in increasing brand awareness of the brand @zaskiasungkarjakarta through Instagram content. The method used a case study with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that influencer credibility plays a significant role in maintaining brand awareness. There are three main dimensions that are visible: expertise, trustworthiness, and attractiveness. Trustworthiness is evident from the honesty and consistency of influencers when showing or reviewing products. Meanwhile, attractiveness arises from the match between the influencer's lifestyle and image with the brand, making the audience feel more relatable and trusting. Overall, influencer credibility helps increase brand awareness from the brand recognition stage (people start to recognize), brand recall (people can remember again), until the brand finally becomes top of mind in the minds of the audience.

Evaluation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning plays a strategic role in assessing the achievement of educational goals while supporting the character development of students. The evaluation process not only considers cognitive aspects but also includes affective and psychomotor aspects, such as the appreciation of religious values, noble morals, and the ability to perform religious services. This study aims to describe the relationship between the scope of PAI evaluation and the process of character development of students. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with the research location at SDN Ngebel, Kasihan, Bantul. The research subjects included PAI teachers, students in grades I, V, and VI, and several parents. Data were collected through interviews with teachers, students, and guardians, observations of learning activities and religious practices, and documentation, including records of grades and religious activity agendas. Using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, data analysis included the stages of presentation, reduction, and drawing conclusions. Triangulation methods and sources ensured the validity of the data. The results showed that the implementation of a comprehensive PAI evaluation, which included academic assessment, religious practices, and moral behavior, had a significant impact on the development of student character. This is especially true in terms of religiosity, discipline, and responsibility. Therefore, the broader and more integrated the scope of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) evaluation, the greater its contribution to the overall character formation of students.
