This study aims to analyze the budgeting activities of the Surabaya City Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control and Family Planning Agency (DP3A-PPKB) in supporting stunting reduction, while evaluating policy effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness, and accuracy through William N. Dunn's evaluation framework. A qualitative case study design was utilized, supported by document analysis of planning records, budget realizations, and stunting prevalence data from 2019–2024. Findings reveal that DP3A's budget allocation aligns with the regional development plan and facilitates family-based sensitive interventions. Despite the first-quarter 2025 realization reaching only 9.5% of the total IDR 58.3 billion, strategic programs persisted through cross-sectoral collaboration and adaptive implementation strategies involving multiple stakeholders. The study concludes that DP3A's contributions are indirect, contingent on inter-organizational synergy among regional apparatus units (OPD). Ultimately, stunting reduction success hinges not on budget magnitude alone, but on systemic integration, policy coordination, and sustained collaborative governance across sectors. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening institutional networks to improve program effectiveness and long-term nutritional outcomes for children.

This community service activity aims to increase the business capacity of the wood ear mushroom food MSME through integrated mentoring on business legality and access to financing. The subject of the activity was the Brother Farm MSME in Kediri Regency, which initially ran its business informally without adequate legality and had limited access to formal financing. The method used was a participatory approach with activity stages including: initial observation and problem identification, mentoring in creating a Business Identification Number (NIB), mentoring in understanding halal certification, mentoring in processing Fresh Food of Plant Origin (PSAT) permits, and education on access to financing through the People's Business Credit (KUR) scheme. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews and documentation, while data analysis used a qualitative descriptive approach by comparing conditions before and after mentoring. The results of the activity showed that the MSME successfully obtained business legality in the form of a Business Identification Number and Fresh Food of Plant Origin permits and experienced an increase in understanding regarding halal product guarantees and access to formal financing. This integrated mentoring had a positive impact on increasing consumer confidence, expanding market opportunities, and business readiness in accessing capital. Thus, this activity is able to encourage business transformation towards a more formal, structured and sustainable condition (SDG 8 and SDG 12) thereby contributing to increasing the competitiveness of food MSMEs.

Immigrant children often face challenges in adjusting and adapting to new environments. This study analyses the adaptation process of the main character, Unhei, as an Asian American immigrant child in Yangsook Choi’s picture book The Name Jar. This study examines the challenges Unhei faces in The Name Jar as she attempts to adapt and maintain her identity in a new environment in America, including language barriers, cultural differences, and social interactions with peers. This study employs a qualitative method using text and illustration analysis based on the adaptation theory proposed by Lamme et al. (2004), which consists of three stages: making transitions, making connections, and becoming American. The findings show that Unhei experiences various challenges in adapting to her new environment, including language barriers, cultural differences, and difficulties in social interaction. Unhei undergoes three stages of adaptation; making transitions, making connections, and becoming American. In the making transitions stage, Unhei experiences confusion, insecurity, and difficulty adjusting to a new cultural and social environment. In the making connections stage, she maintains connections with her Korean identity through her family, language, traditional objects, and Korean food while gradually building relationships in her new environment. In the becoming American stage, Unhei begins to adapt to American society and develops confidence in accepting her Korean identity without abandoning her cultural background. Furthermore, Unhei’s experience reflects that adaptation does not always occur smoothly, but involves a process of self-negotiation in dealing with cultural differences. The adaptation process is dynamic and influenced by both internal and external factors, and positive social interactions can help accelerate successful adaptation in a new environment.

The development of transportation technology encourages companies to improve vehicle monitoring systems to be more effective and measurable, particularly in addressing speeding violations that can increase accident risks and reduce operational efficiency. This study aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of using a buzzer integrated with the Teltonika FMB910 GPS module as a vehicle speed warning indicator at PT. Lacak Cipta Aktual. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, where data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation during a one-month industrial internship and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the system is capable of detecting overspeed conditions and automatically activating the buzzer when the vehicle speed exceeds the predefined threshold of 80 km/h. Based on logbook data, the system achieved a success rate of 93.9% in responding to overspeed conditions. The use of a buzzer is proven effective in providing immediate warnings to drivers, thereby improving driver awareness and speed control. However, the system still has limitations, particularly its dependence on GPS signal stability and vehicle electrical conditions. Overall, this study demonstrates that the integration of GPS and a buzzer provides a simple, effective, and cost-efficient solution to enhance driving safety and fleet management efficiency.

The activity began with training on the basic concepts of edupreneurship, product packaging, and marketing strategies. The exhibition showcased various creative products such as food & beverage, eco bodycare, eco living style, and fashion accesories featuring local product motifs. This activity successfully enhanced students’ capacity for critical thinking, innovation, and productive collaboration. An entrepreneurship talk show held concurrently further strengthened students’ motivation and entrepreneurial insights. The results of the activity demonstrated that the management  exhibition effectively served as a medium for transforming local product such as food & beverage, eco bodycare, ecoliving style, fashion accesories learning into a contextual, practical, and economically valuable experience through the edupreneurship approach.

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial skills on business success in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Aesesa District, Nagekeo Regency. The background of this research is driven by fluctuations in MSME performance, unstable turnover, suboptimal management, low customer satisfaction, and limited practical skills and knowledge. This study utilizes a quantitative approach with a causal associative method. The population consists of all 3,705 active MSMEs in Aesesa District. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with specific criteria, and the sample size was calculated using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error, resulting in exactly 100 respondents. Data collection was conducted via structured questionnaires with a 1–5 Likert scale. Data analysis techniques include descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests (multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and normality), multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination administered through SPSS. The multiple linear regression analysis yielded the equation Y = 12.450 + 0.412X1 + 0.385X2. The partial test (t-test) demonstrates that entrepreneurial knowledge has a positive and significant effect on business success (t count 4.120 > t table 1.984, sig 0.000). Entrepreneurial skills also exert a positive and significant impact on business success (t count 3.850 > t table 1.984, sig 0.000). Simultaneously (F-test), entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial skills have a significant combined effect on business success with F count 38.450 > F table 3.09. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) value of 0.442 indicates that the variation in business success is influenced by both independent variables by 44.2%, while the remaining 55.8% is explained by external factors outside this research model.

This program was conducted from April 10–12, 2026, in Simarmata Village, Samosir Regency, involving approximately 300 participants representing Simarmata youth and interregional youth communities from various regions in Indonesia. The activity was implemented through interactive seminars and participatory discussions focusing on the strategic role of youth in nation-building and entrepreneurship development strategies. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ awareness, motivation, and understanding of entrepreneurship as a driver of economic and social transformation. More importantly, the program successfully strengthened the identity and role of Simarmata youth as a community-based development force, fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable economic initiatives. This study highlights that community-based participatory programs are effective in empowering local youth communities, particularly in enhancing entrepreneurial capacity and strengthening their contribution to sustainable national development.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder often accompanied by auditory hallucinations and has a significant impact on patients’ psychosocial functioning. This condition can reduce medication adherence, thereby increasing the risk of relapse. In this context, the role of caregivers is crucial in supporting treatment success. This study aims to describe psychiatric nursing care for patients with auditory hallucinations in improving medication adherence through caregiver involvement. The method used is a case study with a nursing process approach, including assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Interventions focus on hallucination management, psychoeducation, and caregiver involvement in care. The results show an increase in patients’ and families’ knowledge regarding the illness and its treatment, improved medication adherence, and enhanced patient ability to control responses to auditory hallucinations. Caregiver involvement has been shown to assist in supervision and providing support to patients. Therefore, comprehensive psychiatric nursing care through hallucination management, psychoeducation, and caregiver involvement is effective in improving medication adherence and controlling symptoms in patients with auditory hallucinations.

Knowledge should not only make human beings intellectually capable, but also guide them to understand the meaning and direction of life. However, in modern education, knowledge is often reduced to an instrument for obtaining grades, degrees, employment, and material success. This condition indicates a crisis of meaning in education, where knowledge grows rapidly but is not always followed by moral awareness and spiritual maturity. This article examines the Philosophy of Unity of Sciences as an alternative paradigm to restore the meaning of knowledge in modern education. This study uses library research with a descriptive-critical approach. The primary sources include the Qur’an, Hadith, Al-Ghazali’s Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm Al-Dīn, Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas’ Islam and Secularism, and the Javanese ethical text Serat Wedhatama. This article is also strengthened by the thoughts of Muslim scholars such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Al-Biruni, Ibn Al-Haytham, Al-Khawarizmi, and Ibn Khaldun. The result of this study shows that the Philosophy of Unity of Sciences views all knowledge as originating from Allah. Therefore, religious knowledge and general knowledge should not be separated or opposed to each other. Both should work together to form human beings who are faithful, rational, ethical, and responsible. In this sense, knowledge can be understood as “a way home”, namely a way to return to God, to the self, to humanity, and to nature.

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, including the field of education, particularly Islamic Education. This study aims to explore various AI-based learning strategies that can be implemented to create a more effective, interactive, and contemporary learning process. The method employed in this study is a literature review by examining various scholarly sources, such as journals, books, and academic articles discussing the implementation of AI in education. The findings indicate that the integration of AI can be realized through personalized learning tailored to students’ needs, the use of chatbots as learning assistants, the analysis of students’ progress and learning outcomes, as well as the utilization of technology-based learning media. These strategies are not only capable of improving students’ cognitive aspects but can also strengthen the internalization of Islamic values when applied appropriately and systematically. Furthermore, this study emphasizes that teachers’ technological competence, infrastructure readiness, and the development of an adaptive curriculum are crucial factors in the successful implementation of AI-based learning within the context of Islamic Education.

The digital transformation driven by the acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally transformed leadership paradigms and the structure of the modern workplace. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the various strategic opportunities and systemic risks arising from the integration of AI into contemporary organizational leadership practices, where technology is no longer merely a tool but a collaborative partner in managerial processes. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method on 30 reputable scientific journals with publications spanning up to 2026, this article analyzes the transition of the leader’s role from a conventional hierarchical model toward the concept of Augmented Leadership. Data analysis results indicate that AI implementation offers significant opportunities through data-driven decision-making systems with high precision, intelligent resource allocation optimization, and enhanced leadership intervention effectiveness, which has been documented to reach up to 35%. However, this transformation also brings a series of complex multidimensional risks, including algorithmic biases that could trigger inequality cascades, ethical dilemmas related to operational transparency (black box), and the potential erosion of the meaning of work for employees. The discussion in this article emphasizes that the success of this transformation depends not only on technical expertise, but also on redefining leadership competencies to prioritize emotional intelligence and ethical governance frameworks such as the CARE Framework (Control, Awareness, Responsibility, and Evaluation).

This research is motivated by the increasing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in organizational transformation and the crucial function of leadership in ensuring its successful implementation. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between leadership, AI integration, and organizational performance, as well as to identify various challenges and supporting factors in the process. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) method by examining 30 relevant, reputable scientific articles from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases within the 2020–2026 timeframe through selection, evaluation, and thematic synthesis processes. The results indicate that AI integration significantly contributes to improving operational efficiency, data-driven decision-making quality, and organizational innovation. However, this success heavily depends on the role of adaptive, transformational, and digitally-oriented leadership capable of steering the technological vision. Conversely, major challenges were identified, such as employee resistance, limited digital competencies, and ethical issues surrounding data privacy. This study contributes to strengthening the conceptual understanding of leadership's role as a bridge between technology and organizational performance, while offering practical implications for management in designing effective, inclusive, and sustainable digital transformation strategies.

 Dental and oral health is an essential part of overall bodily health. The high prevalence of caries and cavities in children is generally caused by a lack of tooth-brushing skills. Incorrect techniques and improper duration cause food residue to remain, which ultimately triggers the demineralization of the tooth enamel. This socialization activity aims to provide education on the importance of brushing teeth with correct and effective techniques for elementary school students. The activity was conducted at SDIT Al-Azhar Kediri City, using a practical and interactive simulation approach; starting with a PowerPoint presentation, followed by a demonstration of proper tooth-brushing techniques using teaching aids. There were 84 children involved in this activity, and the results showed that approximately 90% of the participants could correctly answer the questions provided. Consequently, this socialization activity successfully increased the participants' knowledge and understanding of maintaining dental and oral health

This project is motivated by the increasing rate of deforestation in Indonesia, which has led to ecosystem degradation and the threat of extinction for endemic species, as well as the relatively low environmental awareness among young people due to the abstract and systematic presentation of data. The main objective of this work is to produce a 5-minute 2D animation that effectively raises awareness among adolescents aged 14–24 about the threat of environmental extinction caused by deforestation in Indonesia. This is achieved through a three-act narrative approach using a first-person perspective of the Javan surili, positioned as a narrative “lens” and a representation of a victim of a damaged ecosystem, allowing abstract issues to be understood in a more personal, emotional, and empathetic way. The method includes pre-production (research, concept development, and scriptwriting), production (development of dialogue, monologue, and visual direction based on a three-act structure), and post-production (narrative evaluation and script refinement). The result is an educational animation script titled “Jaga Alam, Cegah Kepunahan,” which integrates scientific data, visual storytelling techniques, and multimedia learning principles to deliver messages in an informative and emotional manner. The three-act structure successfully constructs a systematic storyline from introduction, conflict, to resolution with a call to action. The conclusion shows that 2D animation with a personal narrative approach is effective in transforming environmental issues into accessible messages, increasing empathy, and encouraging audience awareness and participation in environmental conservation.
