Child marriage remains a significant issue negatively impacting the health and quality of the younger generation, particularly through the increased risk of stunting in children. This article discusses the results of an educational outreach titled “Marriage Is Not Just About Legality: Legal Education on Marriage Dispensation and Its Implications for Stunting Prevention Among Students,” conducted at SMA Negeri 3 Parepare. The outreach aimed to raise students’ awareness about the relationship between minimum marriage age, marriage dispensation, and the health impacts on children, especially the risk of stunting. The methods employed included deconstruction, brainstorming, material delivery, reconstruction, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test assessments. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ understanding from both medical and legal perspectives. The discussion focused on analyzing the contradictory legal norms regarding minimum marriage age and marriage dispensation, which frequently lead to implementation challenges. This outreach underscores the importance of integrating legal education and reproductive health as a preventive strategy to reduce child marriage and prevent stunting. Consequently, the program contributes to shaping a healthy, legally aware younger generation capable of making mature and responsible marriage decisions.

The agricultural sector is a strategic pillar of Grobogan Regency's economy; however, this significant potential has not fully improved farmers' welfare. The Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) decreased from 110.12 in 2023 to 106.85 in 2024, indicating weakening purchasing power due to rising fertilizer and transportation costs without being offset by commodity selling prices. This situation underscores the need for local government policies focused on increasing the NTP above 110 to achieve sustainable farmer welfare. This study aims to analyze the role of the Grobogan Regency Government in strengthening the agricultural sector as the main driver of local community welfare. The research employed a qualitative policy approach with a descriptive case study strategy, using triangulation of interviews, field observations, and review of policy documents such as the Grobogan RPJMD 2021–2026 and the 2024 Agriculture Office annual report. The results show that local government initiatives, such as irrigation network rehabilitation with a budget of IDR 32.5 billion, farmer group empowerment through the Climate Field School Program and Gapoktan strengthening, as well as demonstration plots of superior seed innovations, contributed to a 2.3% increase in rice productivity and a 7% increase in farmers' income. However, challenges remain regarding budget limitations and cross-sector coordination. In conclusion, strengthening policy integration, technological innovation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are key to enabling the agricultural sector to genuinely enhance community welfare inclusively and sustainably in Grobogan Regency.

This study examines the phenomenon of child marriage in Grobogan Regency by focusing on the relationship between child vulnerability and the effectiveness of child protection policies within a local context. Despite the revision of the legal minimum marriage age to 19 years through Law No. 16 of 2019, child marriage remains a persistent social issue. Data from the Religious Court of Purwodadi indicate that there were 562 cases in 2024, 463 cases in 2025, and 152 cases from January to April 2026, totaling 1,177 cases. This condition highlights a significant gap between policy formulation and its implementation at the local level. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the multidimensional vulnerability of children, particularly girls, which includes economic hardship, limited access to education, weak bargaining power within families, and strong socio-cultural pressures. The findings reveal that child marriage is not merely an individual choice but a structural outcome shaped by gender inequality and restricted capabilities. Furthermore, social norms and community influence play a crucial role in sustaining the practice, often overriding formal legal frameworks. Although various prevention efforts have been implemented through policy interventions, socialization programs, and institutional coordination, these efforts remain fragmented and insufficiently integrated. The study concludes that addressing child marriage requires a comprehensive and multisectoral approach that combines legal enforcement, economic empowerment, educational access, and transformation of social norms. Strengthening local governance capacity and community engagement is essential to ensure more effective and sustainable child protection policies.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing forgiveness therapy in enhancing the personal growth of inmates at the Tangerang Class II-A Women’s Correctional Facility. The method used was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Nine subjects aged 20-40 years were selected from 50 inmates based on low to moderate scores on the forgiveness scale and the psychological well-being scale. The intervention consisted of six sessions adapted from the forgiveness model developed by Enright and Fitzgibbons. Data analysis utilized a paired-sample t-test and the N-Gain formula. The results showed a significant increase in personal growth scores from the pretest (M = 7.00; SD = 1.225) to the posttest (M = 9.44; SD = 1.424), with t(8) = −8.315 and p < 0.001. An N-Gain value of 0.610 indicates moderate effectiveness. The follow-up measurement (M = 9.67; SD = 1.118) did not differ significantly from the post-test (p = 0.347), indicating the sustainability of the changes achieved. Forgiveness scores also increased from 65.33 (pre-test) to 86.67 (post-test) and 87.33 (follow-up), confirming the role of forgiveness as a psychological mechanism for personal growth. These findings support the integration of structured forgiveness therapy into correctional programs for women’s prisons.

The urgency of this research stems from the knowledge gap regarding contextual factors contributing to the underuse of learning media in rural elementary schools, which has not been adequately addressed in previous research, which has tended to focus on urban contexts. This study aims to examine teachers' perceptions at Sugayang Public Elementary School regarding the underuse of learning media in the learning process, as well as the factors that contribute to it. The method used was a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing in-depth interviews as a data collection technique. The data were then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques according to Miles and Huberman. The results showed that teachers experienced difficulties in using technology, difficulties in creating learning media, and the perception that using media was time-consuming. This reveals an important pattern that the underuse of learning media is a systematic problem rooted in the TPACK gap that is not supported by practical time management solutions. These findings imply that changes in learning practices will not occur simply through the provision of generic technology tools or training; rather, bottom-up and contextual solutions are needed. The novelty of this research lies in the in-depth qualitative approach applied to the under-researched context of rural elementary schools, which has not been studied before. This research contributes through recommendations for the implementation of a peer-mentoring program and the development of a ready-to-use digital learning media bank, thus offering valuable insights for future research with relevant stakeholders.

Sharia financial literacy is an important aspect in supporting inclusive and sustainable economic development. However, the level of sharia financial literacy among Indonesian society is still relatively low. This condition creates opportunities for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to play a strategic role in improving young generations’ understanding of financial management based on sharia principles. Therefore, this community service activity aimed to enhance the sharia financial literacy and inclusion of students through the SAKINAH (Santri Cakap Literasi Keuangan Syariah) Program at Nurul Abshor Islamic Boarding School, Katingan Regency. The program was implemented using a participatory educational approach through socialization, interactive discussions, simple simulations, and participant evaluations. The activity was carried out through collaboration among the Financial Services Authority (OJK) of Central Kalimantan Province, the Islamic Economic Society of Katingan Regency, PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Palangka Raya, Nurul Abshor Islamic Boarding School, the Regional Financial Access Acceleration Team of Katingan Regency, and students of Palangka Raya University. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the importance of saving, the ability to distinguish between needs and wants, sharia financial management, and knowledge of legal and trustworthy sharia financial products and services. The SAKINAH Program was also considered effective in encouraging students to become agents of sharia financial literacy within the pesantren environment and the wider community.

The Covid-19 pandemic significantly affected national economic stability, particularly the banking sector, which faced rising credit risk as debtors’ ability to meet payment obligations declined. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), as a state-owned bank focused on financing micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), is required to maintain credit quality while supporting the National Economic Recovery (PEN) Program. This study aims to analyze BRI’s credit risk management strategies in supporting national economic recovery and to examine its efforts to empower MSMEs during the pandemic. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected from relevant sources such as articles, ebooks, journals, magazines, newspapers, and other documents. The findings show that BRI supported government recovery programs through several mechanisms, including credit restructuring for Covid-19-affected debtors, MSME credit distribution, interest subsidy stimulus, government-guaranteed MSME financing, People’s Business Credit (KUR), BPUM assistance, and wage subsidy distribution. In addition, BRI empowered MSMEs through programs such as UMKM Export Brilianpreneur 2020, BRIncubator, Desa BRILian, Pengusaha Muda BRILian, and Rumah BUMN. It can be concluded that BRI helped the government support economic recovery by distributing assistance and strengthening MSME empowerment to ensure business continuity during the pandemic.

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has increased the need for data security and confidentiality in digital information exchange. Various threats, such as eavesdropping, data theft, and information manipulation, require effective security methods capable of protecting message content without attracting unauthorized attention. One of the techniques used to address this issue is steganography, which conceals secret information within digital media so that the existence of the message remains undetectable. This study aims to implement the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method on digital facial images as a medium for embedding secret messages and to evaluate the quality of the resulting stego images. The system was developed using the Python programming language with a Tkinter-based graphical user interface to facilitate the processes of message embedding and extraction. Prior to embedding, the secret message was secured using an XOR encryption operation with a specific key. The embedding process was performed by modifying the least significant bits of image pixels, resulting in minimal visual distortion. Experimental results indicate that the LSB method successfully conceals secret messages while maintaining the visual quality of the cover image. The evaluation produced low Mean Squared Error (MSE) values and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) values exceeding 85 dB, indicating a very high similarity between the original and stego images. Furthermore, the hidden message could be accurately extracted using the correct key, provided that the image had not undergone compression or manipulation. Therefore, the LSB-based steganography approach on digital facial images is proven to be an effective method for enhancing information security and confidentiality.

This study aims to analyze the impact of nickel mining activities on the religious life of the community in West Kabaena District, Bombana Regency. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to obtain an in-depth understanding of the social and religious changes occurring within the community. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving religious leaders, community leaders, youth representatives, and mining workers. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that nickel mining activities have not diminished the community’s understanding of environmental stewardship as a religious responsibility. However, increasing economic dependence on the mining sector has gradually reduced public concern for environmental preservation. In the religious sphere, mining activities have contributed positively by supporting the construction and improvement of worship facilities and religious programs. Nevertheless, work-related demands have reduced the participation of some community members in religious activities. Furthermore, mining activities have affected social solidarity within the community. Values such as brotherhood, mutual cooperation, and social care remain preserved, although changes in social interaction patterns and widening economic disparities have become increasingly apparent. The study concludes that nickel mining activities generate both positive and negative impacts on the religious life of the West Kabaena community. Therefore, balanced policies integrating economic development, environmental sustainability, and religious values are essential to promote sustainable community welfare and strengthen social harmony.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MBG policy in fulfilling nutritional needs in North Barito Regency and to identify the obstacles encountered. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with MAN Barito Utara and SMAN 4 Muara Teweh as research sites. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Edward III's policy implementation model encompassing four indicators: communication, resources, implementor disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings reveal that MBG implementation at both schools has generally been running well but not yet optimally. Communication was structured and food production quality was ensured through certified kitchens. All implementors demonstrated high commitment and enthusiasm, serving as the primary strength of the program. Key obstacles were identified in the resource dimension absence of dedicated nutrition personnel, inadequate distribution space, and minimal nutrition education for students and in the bureaucratic structure dimension, including SOPs not tailored to each school's specific characteristics, informal task divisions lacking official decrees, and the absence of systematic staff substitution mechanisms. The study recommends dedicated budget allocation for distribution facilities, issuance of official task division decrees, SOP refinement, and development of nutrition education modules integrated into teaching and learning activities.

Mental health disorders remain a significant public health concern in Indonesia due to their increasing prevalence and substantial impact on individuals, families, and communities. These disorders can impair a person's ability to think clearly, regulate emotions, behave appropriately, and interact effectively with others. Among the various symptoms experienced by individuals with mental disorders, hallucinations are one of the most common and challenging because they can interfere with daily functioning and increase the risk of relapse if not properly managed. Families play a crucial role in supporting patients through appropriate care, supervision, and adherence to treatment. Therefore, improving family knowledge about hallucination management is essential to enhance patient outcomes. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the knowledge of families and patients regarding the care and management of hallucinations at the Abepura Mental Hospital (RSK Abepura). The activity was conducted through direct mental health education and counseling sessions involving interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. A total of 63 participants, consisting of patients and their family members visiting the hospital, took part in the program. The evaluation demonstrated that approximately 75% of participants actively engaged in the educational sessions, showed high enthusiasm, and were able to correctly answer the evaluation questions, indicating an improvement in their understanding of hallucination management. These findings suggest that mental health education is an effective strategy for enhancing family knowledge and supporting better care for patients with hallucinations.

This study aims to explore the perceptions and meanings of maslahah (public welfare) values in the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) at SD Negeri 030413 Salak, Pakpak Bharat Regency, North Sumatra Province. Pakpak Bharat Regency records a stunting prevalence of 28.9% far exceeding the national average of 19.8% while most beneficiary families are low-income and lack adequate access to nutritious food. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving nine informants. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with interpretation based on the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah framework. The findings reveal five integrated dimensions of maslahah: fulfillment of ḥifẓ al-nafs through improvements in students’ physical health; strengthening of ḥifẓ al-ʿaql through increased concentration and learning readiness; preservation of ḥifẓ al-nasl through early intervention against stunting; realization of ḥifẓ al-dīn through religious practices accompanying the program; and protection of ḥifẓ al-māl through reduced household expenditure. Overall, the MBG Program functions not only as a nutritional intervention but also as a public policy aligned with maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, contributing to the multidimensional achievement of falah.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR), Human Development Index (HDI), and zakat on poverty in Mandailing Natal Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) based on quarterly secondary data from 2015 to 2025. The analytical procedures included stationarity testing, optimal lag selection, Johansen cointegration testing, VECM estimation, Granger causality testing, as well as Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Variance Decomposition (VD) analyses. The findings indicate that all variables were stationary at the second difference level, with an optimal lag length of four, and exhibited a long-run cointegration relationship. The VECM estimation reveals that, in the long run, the Open Unemployment Rate has a positive and significant effect on poverty, while zakat has a negative and significant effect in reducing poverty. In contrast, the Human Development Index does not significantly affect poverty, which may be explained by the presence of a development time lag and employment mismatch between workforce competencies and labor market demands. The Granger causality test indicates a one-way causal relationship from the Open Unemployment Rate to the Human Development Index. Furthermore, the Variance Decomposition analysis shows that poverty variation is predominantly explained by its own shocks (96.25%), reflecting the persistence of structural poverty. Therefore, policy synergy through employment expansion and the optimization of productive zakat programs based on business empowerment is recommended to accelerate poverty alleviation in Mandailing Natal Regency.

Technological advances and increasing job demands have made work stress a major concern in modern industrial environments. Noise is one of the physical workplace factors that may contribute to work stress. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between noise exposure and work stress among workers in the spinning department of PT X. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 80 workers selected through purposive sampling. Noise levels were measured using a sound level meter, while work stress data were collected through a standardized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test.Most respondents were over 35 years old (80%) and female (54%). The highest noise level was recorded in the spinning room (102.17 dBA), while the fiber preparation room had the lowest level (84.07 dBA). Most workers experienced mild work stress (86.25%), whereas 13.75% reported moderate to high stress. The Chi-Square test showed no statistically significant relationship between noise and work stress (p = 0.074). However, the Likelihood Ratio test indicated a significant positive trend (p = 0.021). These findings suggest that excessive noise exposure may increase work stress and highlight the need for effective noise control, hearing protection, and stress management programs in the workplace.
