Pregnancy is a physiological process that involves various physical and psychological changes in women. One common psychological issue that can arise is anxiety related to body image, which can significantly influence the eating behaviors of pregnant women. This psychological challenge may lead to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and bulimia nervosa. The presence of eating disorders during pregnancy can have detrimental effects on maternal health, including nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, and an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, such as preterm birth and gestational diabetes. Additionally, these disorders can negatively impact the fetus, resulting in inadequate nutrient intake, low birth weight, and developmental delays. Therefore, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, alongside psychological support, is crucial for pregnant women. Health education, along with professional counseling and guidance from healthcare providers, plays a vital role in preventing and managing eating disorders during pregnancy. Such efforts ultimately contribute to optimal health outcomes for both the mother and the developing fetus, ensuring the well-being of both in the long term.

The development of digital technology has significantly changed the way organizations manage human resources (HR), both in the public and business sectors. Organizations are now required to transform from an administrative HR management system to a technology-based strategic role to improve efficiency, competitiveness, and economic productivity. The results show that HR management transformation plays a significant role in improving organizational performance through the implementation of digital technologies such as Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), people analytics, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI). This transformation can improve work efficiency, accelerate decision-making processes, and encourage innovation and collaboration. In the public sector, human resource digitalization supports bureaucratic reform towards transparent and accountable governance, while in the business sector, it strengthens employee competitiveness and creativity. However, key challenges identified include the digital competency gap, resistance to change, and limited technological infrastructure, particularly in public organizations and developing regions. The study concluded that the success of human resource transformation depends not only on technology adoption but also on organizational cultural readiness, visionary leadership, and the continuous development of digital competencies. Synergy between people and technology is key to achieving sustainable economic productivity in the digital era.

Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to help lower blood pressure, such as the use of acupressure, herbal remedies, relaxation breathing exercises, meditation, aromatherapy, and reflexology on the soles of the feet. The focus of this study is to examine the effects of reflexology on the soles of the feet on blood pressure dynamics in individuals with hypertension in Gue Gajah Village, Darul Imarah District. The methodology applied was quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design, and the data collection pattern was a single group with pre- and post-treatment measurements (one group pretest-posttest). From a total of 328 hypertensive patients in the area, 15 research participants were purposively selected as samples. The study process took place from May 2 to 28, 2025. The results of the analysis using a paired t-test showed a significant change in blood pressure between before and after the foot reflexology treatment, both in systolic pressure (p-value = 0.000; p < 0.05) and diastolic pressure (p-value = 0.000; p < 0.05). Based on these findings, it can be stated that foot reflexology massage therapy has an effect on lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for health workers to expand the use of non-pharmacological interventions in the management of hypertension and open opportunities for further research with larger sample sizes and designs.

This study examines the concept of the Great Filter as a metaphor to explain why only a few Islamic missionary organizations and startups are able to survive amidst digital disruption, while many others fail. Disruption, characterized by rapid changes in technology, regulations, and societal behavior, creates significant pressure that demands high levels of adaptability and innovation. This study uses a qualitative method based on a literature review by analyzing various literature related to entrepreneurship, digital missionary work, and dynamic capabilities. The results show that the success of Islamic missionary organizations in facing disruption is determined by a combination of visionary leadership, continuous innovation, mastery of digital technology, and the organization's ability to learn and adapt. Conversely, failure is often caused by limited funding, minimal innovation, and weak digital strategies. Thus, the Great Filter can be understood as a natural selection process that only resilient, adaptive organizations can overcome, and is able to combine spiritual values with entrepreneurial innovation.

Learning quadratic functions in high school still faces various challenges, primarily due to the abstract nature of the concepts, which require students to have strong analytical thinking skills. These difficulties often result in low student understanding of the relationship between quadratic equations and parabola graphs, as well as limitations in applying these concepts to mathematical problem-solving. GeoGebra, as a technology-based learning tool, offers interactive visualizations that allow students to observe the real-time changes in the shape of a parabola when the coefficients in a quadratic equation are modified. A literature review of recent studies reveals that the use of GeoGebra significantly enhances conceptual understanding, mathematical representation skills, and student motivation. Its effectiveness further increases when combined with appropriate teaching strategies, such as the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), which encourages active involvement and concept exploration by students. However, several challenges remain, including limited access to devices, teachers’ readiness to utilize technology, and suboptimal infrastructure support. Therefore, the integration of GeoGebra into quadratic function learning requires careful planning, teacher training, and adequate facility support to maximize its benefits and improve the overall quality of mathematics education.

Wildfires in Los Angeles are a phenomenon that can be analyzed from two main perspectives: science and religion. From a scientific standpoint, these fires are triggered by a combination of natural factors, such as the Santa Ana winds that bring hot and dry air, and climate change, which extends drought periods and increases temperatures. However, human activities, including environmental exploitation, deforestation, and inadequate fire mitigation efforts, have exacerbated the situation. From an Islamic perspective, natural disasters can be seen as tests, warnings, or consequences of human negligence in maintaining environmental balance, as mentioned in the Qur'an (Surah Ar-Rum: 41). This study highlights that wildfires are not merely natural occurrences but also have spiritual dimensions. Islam emphasizes that humans are entrusted as stewards of the earth, responsible for preserving nature rather than passively accepting disasters. Therefore, the best approach to addressing wildfires is to integrate scientific understanding with religious values. Proposed solutions include science-based prevention efforts, such as sustainable forest management and fire mitigation policies, as well as spiritual awareness to appreciate and safeguard nature as a divine trust. By understanding the relationship between science and religion, humanity can take greater responsibility in disaster response and establish a more balanced and sustainable way of life.

This research seeks to examine how changes in citizenship influence the legal validity of marriage, emphasizing both juridical aspects and practical implications. In an era of globalization and increased international mobility, the phenomenon of changing or losing citizenship has become more frequent. The legal consequences of such changes for marital validity represent a crucial area that demands comprehensive analysis, particularly in relation to national and international marriage laws. The study combines an international literature review with empirical data and legal analysis derived from the works of Mr. Mustain, a lecturer at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta. Findings reveal that a shift in citizenship can alter the legal standing of a marriage, generate legal ambiguities, and influence family rights such as child custody and inheritance. To address these issues, regulatory harmonization, the proactive engagement of religious authorities, and legal reform at the national level are essential to ensure adequate legal protection for couples undergoing citizenship transitions. Employing a library research method with a qualitative-normative approach, this study analyzes statutory provisions, judicial rulings, and relevant scholarly sources. The findings underscore that citizenship alteration may impact the legality of marriage, particularly when legal systems differ between the country of origin and the newly acquired nationality. In summary, citizenship changes can lead to legal uncertainty regarding marital validity, underscoring the need for legal harmonization and clear protective frameworks for affected couples. This research thus contributes significantly to the discourse on marriage law and citizenship policy development.

In the digital age, information travels quickly, which has made it easier to learn new things but also made it easier for false information to spread. In Indonesia, fact-checking efforts by online news sites like Kompas, Tempo, and Liputan6 have become very important in dealing with this problem. This study examines the linguistic and discursive strategies utilized in fact-checking articles published from 2022 to 2024 to foster critical literacy among readers. Utilizing the principles of Critical Literacy and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study examines five fact-checking texts addressing political, health, and social matters. The results show that all the articles follow the same story structure: they start with claims, then go into detail about the investigations, present evidence, and give final judgments. At the micro level, hedges, boosters, and evidential markers are used on purpose to change how certain and credible something is. At the meso level, discourse structures and intertextual references bolster institutional authority, whereas at the macro level, fact-checking serves as an educational instrument that promotes critical and contemplative reading habits. Overall, the study shows that fact-checking serves two purposes in Indonesia: it helps people check the accuracy of information and it helps people build their resistance to false information.
