Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder that disrupts cognition, emotion, perception, and behavior, significantly affecting daily functioning and social interaction. Paranoid schizophrenia, a well-recognized subtype, is characterized by persistent paranoid delusions, frequently accompanied by hallucinations—most commonly auditory—and other perceptual disturbances, often leading to unpredictable or aggressive behaviors. A 34-year-old male patient, Mr. A, was brought to Cut Meutia General Hospital on February 9, 2024, by his father and the village chief due to episodes of aggression. The patient reported that his behavior occurred because a creature was controlling his body and disturbing him. His family indicated that he had experienced similar episodes in the past and had previously been hospitalized for the same condition. Based on established clinical guidelines, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Pharmacological management was initiated, including risperidone, clozapine, lodemer injection, diazepam injection, divalproex, and trihexyphenidyl, targeting psychotic symptoms, agitation, and behavioral disturbances, with the aim of stabilizing his mental state, preventing further aggressive episodes, and supporting overall functional recovery.

Stress among early adolescent girls in junior high school is an increasing health concern due to academic demands, social pressure, digital exposure, and menstrual related discomforts. Complementary interventions such as deep-breathing techniques offer a simple method that can be implemented in school settings to rapidly reduce stress. This study aimed to examine the effect of deep-breathing techniques on menstrual related stress among ninth-grade female students at SMPN 2 Rambutan, Banyuasin Regency.  A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used. The sample consisted of 60 students selected from the ninth-grade population. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) focusing on stress during menstruation before and after a single deep-breathing session. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant reduction in stress scores after the intervention (p < 0.001). The proportion of students in the high-stress category decreased from 20% to 6.7%, while those in the low-stress category increased from 10% to 30%. The mean stress score decreased from 21.35 ± 4.82 to 15.42 ± 4.11. This study concludes that deep-breathing techniques are effective in reducing menstrual-related stress in female students within a single session and can be recommended as a complementary strategy that is easy to implement in schools for adolescent menstrual stress management.

The development of information technology has encouraged various organizations, including cooperatives, to digitize their service systems. The Credit Cooperative (Kopdit) CU Mera Ndi Ate is one of the cooperatives that still uses a manual system in managing savings and loans, which causes the service process to be slow, inaccurate, and has a high risk of recording errors. This study aims to design and build a web-based savings and loans system that can be used by members of Kopdit CU Mera Ndi Ate. This system allows members to conduct transactions online, view transaction history, and monitor savings or loan balances. The research methods used are observation, interviews, and literature studies. The system development process uses a waterfall model with stages of analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The result of this study is a prototype of a web-based savings and loans information system that has main features such as member registration, transaction recording, financial data management, and automatic financial report generation. With the implementation of this system, it is hoped that the cooperative can improve work efficiency, speed up services, and provide easy access to information to all members.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the unemployment rate on economic growth in Riau Islands Province in 2024 using a descriptive–quantitative approach based on official data published by Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The analysis was conducted through year-on-year and quarter-to-quarter measurements of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), as well as the dynamics of the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) throughout the year. The findings show that the average economic growth of the province in 2024 reached 5.02 percent, while the unemployment rate decreased from 6.94 percent in February to 6.39 percent in August. Pearson correlation analysis resulted in r = –0.98 (p < 0.05), indicating a very strong negative relationship between unemployment and GRDP growth. Meanwhile, the simple linear regression model produced the equation Ŷ = 5.45 – 0.22X with an R² of 0.96, implying that 96 percent of the variation in economic growth can be explained by changes in the unemployment rate. These findings are consistent with Okun’s Law, suggesting that increased industrial and trade activities in the province contribute to reducing unemployment. The study concludes that strengthening sectoral job creation, improving labor productivity, and enhancing labor market monitoring are crucial to support inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the Riau Islands Province.

Ontology is the philosophical foundation that determines the way reality is understood in the development of science. Differences in ontological assumptions will have implications for the way science is constructed, developed, and interpreted. This article aims to philosophically analyze the ontology of science in Western and Islamic perspectives by highlighting its fundamental similarities and differences. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with descriptive-analytical and comparative methods. The results show that the ontology of Western science tends to emphasize empirical and rational reality as the main object of science, while the ontology of Islamic science is based on the principle of monotheism which looks at reality holistically, including physical and metaphysical dimensions. Although paradigmatically different, the two perspectives have a common point in the recognition of the order of nature and the role of reason in understanding reality. This article affirms the importance of ontological dialogue between the West and Islam in formulating a scientific paradigm that is not only technically advanced, but also philosophically and ethically meaningful.

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of company size and Good Corporate Governance (Institutional Ownership, Independent Board of Commissioners, and Audit Committee) on Company Value in energy sector issuers listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. The research method applied in this study is a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from company annual reports. The population includes energy companies operating in the Oil, Gas, and Coal sub-sectors. The sample was determined through purposive sampling, resulting in 60 data observations consisting of 15 companies over four consecutive years. The analytical technique employed utilizes SPSS software version 55 with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationships among variables. The results indicate that company size significantly influences company value. Good corporate governance proxied by institutional ownership shows a negative effect on firm value, while independent commissioners and audit committees have no significant effect. Simultaneous findings confirm that company size and good corporate governance together influence firm value.

In 2024, Indonesia’s food and beverage industry recorded IDR 110.57 trillion in investment and achieved GDP growth above the national average, highlighting its rapid development and importance for the economy. However, this growth does not automatically increase firm value, as internal factors such as solvency, firm growth, and dividend policy may play a crucial role. This study investigates how those factors affect firm value in food and beverage companies listed on IDX during 2021–2024. The research population comprises 84 companies, with purposive sampling resulting in 47 observations from 13 firms over four years. Data were collected from annual reports and analyzed applying multiple linear regression with SPSS 26. The results show that solvency and dividend policy don’t significantly affect firm value, while firm growth has a significant positive impact. Simultaneously, all three variables positively influence firm value with an adjusted R² of 11.8%. The paper enriches the academic discussion by validating the applicability of signaling theory in showing that firm growth acts as a stronger signal compared to solvency or dividend policy in the food and beverage industry, offering useful implications for investors and managers.

In the face of global economic uncertainty and property market fluctuations, companies in the property and real estate sector are required to maintain profitability. This sector contributes significantly to the national GDP, but it has also faced pressure due to declining demand and instability in the growth of the real estate sector's GDP from 2021 to 2024. Profitability is a key indicator of a company's sustainability, influenced by various internal factors such as liquidity, firm size, and gender diversity in leadership. The target population of this inquiry encompasses property and real estate enterprises enumerated on the Indonesia Stock Exchange throughout the 2021–2024 interval. Through the application of purposive sampling, a total of 52 data observations were delineated as the empirical sample. The dataset was subjected to scrutiny employing multiple linear regression procedures facilitated by SPSS software version 26. The empirical outcomes substantiate that liquidity, firm size, and gender diversity simultaneously influence profitability. Partially, liquidity has a positive and significant effect on profitability, while gender diversity has a negative and significant effect. In contrast, firm size does not have a significant influence on the profitability of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Current Ratio (CR), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), and Return on Equity (ROE) on the stock prices of healthcare companies classified as sharia-compliant on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020–2024 period. The background of the study is motivated by notable stock price fluctuations among sharia healthcare issuers, such as the sharp decline in PT Kimia Farma Tbk and price dynamics of other issuers including KLBF, MIKA, PEHA, and SIDO. The analysis uses a quantitative approach applying Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) implemented in WarpPLS 8.0. The results indicate that CR does not have a significant effect on stock price (p = 0.174), while DER has a negative but not statistically significant effect (p = 0.484). In contrast, ROE has a positive and significant effect on stock price (p < 0.001), making ROE the dominant factor influencing investor interest. Simultaneously, the three independent variables explain only 20.2% of stock price variation, while the remaining 79.8% is influenced by factors outside the research model. The Tenenhaus goodness of fit (GOF) value of 0.450 suggests the research model has good overall quality despite the limited explanatory power of the tested financial variables.

This study examines the influence of work discipline, training, and motivation on employee performance at PDAM Tirta Ayu, Tegal Regency. In a public service organization such as PDAM, employee performance is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction and strengthen institutional competitiveness. A quantitative survey method was used with questionnaires distributed to all 115 employees using a saturated sampling technique, as the entire population was included. The independent variables analyzed were work discipline (attitude, compliance with rules, responsibility), training (materials, methods, instructor competence, duration, facilities), and motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic). Employee performance, as the dependent variable, was measured using indicators of work quality, work quantity, teamwork, and problem-solving ability. The data were processed through multiple linear regression to assess simultaneous and partial effects. The research findings revealed that work discipline, training, and motivation each have a positive and significant impact on employee performance, but for training has a positive and insignificant effect, this is shown by the significant results of each significant level for work discipline sig value = 0.000 (<0.05), training sig value = 0.632 (>0.05) and motivation with sig value = 0.000 (<0.05). These results highlight the importance of strengthening employee discipline, implementing well-structured and sustainable training programs, and fostering sustainable motivation strategies. This research provides practical implications for PDAM Tirta Ayu management in designing policies to improve overall employee performance, thereby improving service quality and organizational competitiveness.  

This study aims to analyze the management process of the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate by PT. Putra Andalas Samudera at the Port Authority and Harbormaster Office (KSOP) Class I Dumai. This certificate is a vital document to ensure ship seaworthiness in accordance with the standards of the Directorate General of Sea Transportation. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies during the internship period.

Although the system aims for efficiency, several main obstacles were found, namely: data entry errors by staff, excessive digital document file sizes that hinder system verification, and internet network instability causing disruptions to the central server. Optimization efforts carried out by the company include increasing the accuracy of document validation before uploading and strengthening coordination between the agent, ship owner, and KSOP authorities. This study concludes that optimal certificate management is crucial to prevent financial losses due to ship operational delays and to ensure the safety of the crew and cargo.

The cigarette industry in Dawe District, Kudus, has been the backbone of the local economy for decades. However, this heavy dependence on a single industrial sector creates economic vulnerability, especially when production fluctuations or policy changes affect the tobacco industry. An economic empowerment program through agricultural entrepreneurship skills is highly relevant in this context. Modern agriculture using wick hydroponic technology and mini Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) offers an appropriate solution because it has characteristics that are suited to the geographic and socioeconomic conditions of the Dawe community. This PKM program has proven that economic empowerment through technology and skills transfer can be an effective strategy for increasing community income. Based on the results achieved, it is recommended to replicate similar programs in other areas with similar characteristics. Furthermore, ongoing monitoring and evaluation are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the businesses pioneered by participants. Collaboration with relevant agencies and microfinance institutions can strengthen participants' access to capital for broader business development.
