This study aims to describe the main factors causing children in Perumaan Village, East Alok District to drop out of school, as well as the efforts made to overcome this problem. A descriptive qualitative method was used. This research was conducted in Parumaan Village, East Alok District, from February 12 to February 28, 2025, because there are still children who drop out of school in Parumaan Village. The data sources in this study are primary and secondary data sources. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. After collection, the data was analyzed following these steps: Data Collection, Data Reduction, Data Presentation, Conclusion Drawing, and Verification.The results of the study show that the main causes of children dropping out of school can be divided into two factors, namely internal and external. Internal factors include lack of parental attention, economic conditions, and low interest in learning among children. Meanwhile, external factors include an unsupportive social environment, the influence of promiscuity, and low levels of parental education. These findings show that children tend to lose their educational direction when support from their families and surrounding environment is minimal. To address this issue, several efforts have been made, such as raising awareness about the importance of education by the village government, providing economic assistance such as scholarships and KIP (Indonesian Smart Card), and involving the community through mutual cooperation and mentoring. This study recommends strengthening collaboration between families, schools, the government, and the community to create a conducive and sustainable educational environment.

Hypertension remains a major health problem with high prevalence, often linked to poor lifestyle habits and low self-efficacy in managing one’s health. Effective hypertension management requires not only support from health professionals but also encouragement from family members who can remind patients to adhere to treatment and provide emotional support. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy, lifestyle, and family support with hypertension among Prolanis members in the working area of Puskesmas Oesapa, Kupang City. Using an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design, the study involved 65 hypertensive Prolanis members selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The findings showed significant relationships between self-efficacy, physical activity, and diet with hypertension status (p-value = 0.000). However, resting habits were not significantly associated with hypertension (p-value = 0.063), and family support also showed no significant relationship (p-value = 0.388). The study recommends that the Puskesmas continue to strengthen Prolanis activities and enhance health education, particularly regarding the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper dietary management and regular light physical activity tailored to the abilities of Prolanis members.

This study analyzes the legal implications of the Merauke Food Estate Project on the principles of sustainable development and Indonesia's commitment to Net Zero Emission (NZE) from the viewpoint of international environmental law. Through a normative legal approach complemented by qualitative empirical analysis, this study reveals that the realization of this project has the possibility of violating national and international environmental principles, which include sustainable development, the precautionary principle, and the polluter pays principle, due to the mass deforestation that increases carbon emissions and the absence of the implementation of the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) mechanism for indigenous peoples. The findings indicate that the legal responsibility of the state and corporations in this project is not fully aligned with Indonesia's commitments under the Paris Agreement and the NZE target. Previously, and Informed Consent (FPIC/PADIATAPA) for indigenous peoples. The findings show that the legal responsibilities of the state and corporations in this project are not completely in line for Indonesia's commitments in the Paris Agreement and the 2060 NZE target, thus requiring policy reconstruction according to a rights-based strategy to ensure a balance between food security, ecological fairness, and a healthy environment.

This study aims to find out how Instagram is used by the Demak Regency Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises Office as a source of information for employees. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach conducted from 1–30 August 2025. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation of the agency's Instagram account. The results of the study show that Instagram is used as a means of publishing official activities and information, but it is not optimal due to limited human resources, a long upload process, and monotonous content. Based on the theory of Uses and Gratifications and Media Richness Theory, the effectiveness of digital communication requires the ability to present interesting and relevant information so that the message conveyed can meet the needs of internal audiences. Other findings show that some employees have not made Instagram the main source of information due to a lack of content updates and a lack of visual variation. Therefore, it is recommended that social media management be carried out more professionally through improving admin competence, content calendar planning, and better internal coordination to ensure the consistency and quality of published information. Thus, Instagram can function more optimally as an official communication medium.

This article discusses the role of the asbabun nuzul (causes for revelation) or the reasons for the revelation of verses in connecting revelation with the social conditions that underlie it. This study aims to demonstrate that understanding the asbabun nuzul is crucial in interpreting the Qur'an so that the teachings of revelation can be applied appropriately and remain in line with current social realities. This study uses a literature study method by examining various classical and modern commentaries that discuss the relationship between revelation and social conditions during the time of revelation. The results show that understanding the context of the asbabun nuzul not only helps understand the reasons for the revelation of verses but also plays a role in linking them to the various problems and challenges faced by Muslims today. The asbabun nuzul plays a key role in interpreting revelation more flexibly, so that the teachings of the Qur'an can be used to respond to various social issues that arise in each time period. Overall, a strong understanding of the asbabun nuzul can broaden Muslims' insight into the Qur'an and support the application of the teachings of revelation in responding to ever-evolving social changes and dynamics.

This study examines the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in enhancing students’ understanding of moral values in Islamic Religious Education at the tenth grade of MA Yapina. The research is motivated by the urgent need to strengthen character education through learning experiences that are meaningful, contextual, and aligned with the challenges of contemporary moral degradation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes learning activities, instructional documents, and students’ project outputs to explore how PjBL shapes their comprehension of akhlak as both knowledge and practiced behavior. Findings indicate that PjBL encourages active participation, collaboration, creativity, and reflective thinking, enabling students to interpret moral values through real-life situations and group-based problem solving. Projects assigned to students, such as posters, videos, and thematic presentations, foster deeper understanding because they require the integration of moral concepts into practical tasks. The role of the teacher as a facilitator further supports the learning process by guiding students in inquiry and project management. Despite challenges such as variation in student discipline and time constraints, the overall implementation of PjBL demonstrates positive effects on students’ cognitive and affective grasp of moral values. This study underscores the relevance of PjBL as an innovative pedagogical model for Islamic Religious Education and highlights its potential for strengthening character formation in madrasah settings. It also suggests the need for further research involving direct classroom observations and interviews to enrich empirical evidence on the long-term impact of PjBL on student character development.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This condition includes several types, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, experiences impaired insulin function, or faces a combination of both. As a result, glucose cannot be effectively absorbed by the body’s cells and accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. If this condition persists, the buildup of glucose can cause various disorders in different organs. Without proper management, diabetes may lead to severe and life-threatening complications. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and even failure of vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. In this activity, percentage-based methods and demonstrations of blood glucose testing were used as educational tools for students. The results showed that students’ awareness of the dangers of elevated blood sugar levels remains low. Many of them are still unfamiliar with the importance of regular blood glucose monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent diabetes. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to provide education and outreach on the prevention and early management of diabetes mellitus.

This study explores the implementation of circular economy principles within Safina Quilt, an MSME in Balikpapan that transforms textile waste—such as fabric scraps and discarded clothing—into value-added products. Safina Quilt applies the concepts of reduction, reuse, and upcycling throughout its production processes using quilting techniques, while simultaneously establishing an inclusive supply chain that engages local tailors, individuals with disabilities, and homemakers. This business model not only delivers economic gains by increasing profit margins and expanding market reach but also generates substantial social benefits by empowering vulnerable community groups. Although challenges remain, including limited access to supporting materials, constraints in production capacity, and insufficient digital marketing efforts, Safina Quilt demonstrates how MSMEs can successfully integrate environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Strengthening supply chain mechanisms, enhancing production capabilities, and improving digital marketing strategies are essential for scaling up and ensuring long-term business sustainability.

State speeches in international forums are a strategic arena for the practice of diplomacy and leadership image management. This study analyzes President Prabowo Subianto's rhetorical style in his speech at the 80th UN General Assembly on September 23, 2025. Using Aristotelian theory, namely ethos, pathos, and logos, to understand how rhetoric functions in strengthening political legitimacy, humanitarian solidarity, and international policy arguments. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study examines transcripts of official speeches and identifies quotations that represent each persuasive mode. The analysis shows that Prabowo builds ethos through historical references, concrete actions of Indonesia such as the contribution of peacekeeping troops, and pathos is depicted through narratives of suffering, calls for solidarity, and an emphasis on the future of the younger generation; while logos is demonstrated through the presentation of data, policy plans such as the net-zero target, technical solutions such as sea walls, and systematic cause-and-effect arguments. This combination of ethos, pathos, and logos confirms that the speech was not simply a policy statement but also a rhetorical diplomatic tool that strengthened Indonesia's image as a constructive global actor. These findings contribute to the study of leadership communication and diplomatic rhetoric, particularly in the context of developing countries seeking to enhance the role of multilateralism and soft power.

This study examines the influence of good governance principles on village fund utilization effectiveness in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), we analyze data from 385 village officials across five provinces in Indonesia. The research integrates stewardship theory and agency theory to explain how transparency, accountability, participation, and rule of law affect village fund management performance. Results demonstrate that transparency (β=0.342, p<0.01) and accountability (β=0.287, p<0.01) significantly enhance village fund utilization effectiveness, while participation (β=0.219, p<0.05) shows moderate influence. Rule of law (β=0.156, p>0.05) does not significantly affect fund utilization, suggesting implementation challenges. The model explains 68.4% variance in village fund utilization effectiveness (R²=0.684). This study contributes to governance literature by providing empirical evidence from emerging economies and offers practical implications for policymakers to strengthen village-level financial management through enhanced transparency mechanisms and accountability systems. The findings highlight the critical role of good governance in achieving sustainable rural development goals.

Ironing activities in the laundry service industry are performed repeatedly and for long periods, creating a high potential for non-ergonomic work postures. At Laundry Cio’ta, ironing is carried out every day from 08:00 to 21:00 by two workers, which increases the risk of fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders due to continuous and repetitive movements. This study aims to analyze workers’ ironing postures using the REBA method to determine the level of ergonomic risk. Data were collected through direct observation and measurement of body posture angles during the ironing process. The assessment results showed a Score A of 4 and a Score B of 2, producing an initial REBA score of 4. With the addition of an activity score of +1, considering the repetitive nature of the task, the final REBA score increased to 5. This score indicates a moderate level of risk, suggesting that corrective actions are necessary to prevent long-term strain or injury. Based on these findings, ergonomic improvements such as adjusting the ironing table height, modifying the work layout, and encouraging workers to adopt better posture are recommended. Implementing short rest breaks and task variation can also help reduce physical strain and improve worker comfort and productivity.

This study aims to describe how Citizenship Education (PPKn) is implemented to shape the character of second-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Sukamanah in Tanggeung, Cianjur. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research gathered data through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and analysis of documentation related to learning activities. The findings show that PPKn learning delivered through teacher modeling, guided discussions, and consistent habitual practices effectively cultivates key character values, including discipline, honesty, responsibility, and tolerance. The integration of PPKn material with Islamic moral teachings further enhances students’ comprehension of their rights and obligations, while also reinforcing positive behavior in their daily routines. Despite these strengths, the study identifies several challenges, such as the limited availability of learning media and the diverse backgrounds of students, which influence the learning dynamics in the classroom. Overall, the results emphasize that PPKn serves as an essential foundation for character education, and its implementation needs to be continuously strengthened through innovative instructional approaches, supportive school policies, and active collaboration with students’ families to ensure optimal character development.

The rapid pace of housing development in Bogor has created a gap with the provision of formal infrastructure, which has encouraged the emergence of community-led self-help road initiatives. While capable of addressing urgent connectivity needs, these road formations often ignore essential design standards, particularly those related to circulation and environmental context. This study focuses on a specific challenge in Bogor, namely high rainfall ("force of nature"), which contributes to road degradation, causing flooding, and reducing user comfort. Adopting a descriptive qualitative method, this study analyzes the existing self-help access conditions through field observations and a literature review focusing on Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) principles and circulation theory. Field findings confirm that the current design fails to manage surface runoff, resulting in low infiltration and the emergence of functional space conflicts (e.g., for parking and social activities). As a solution, this study proposes an integrated design demonstration that combines porous materials and micro-drainage to manage the force of nature, thereby improving circulation comfort and supporting active living for residents.

The rapid advancement of information technology has significantly transformed accounting practices, including among student entrepreneurs. This study aims to analyze the implementation of technology-based accounting among participants of the Student Entrepreneur Development Program (P2MW) using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technology Readiness Index (TRI) frameworks. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was applied to ten informants through in-depth interviews and Likert-scale questionnaires, analyzed thematically and supported by TRI score interpretation across the dimensions of optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity. The findings reveal that technology acceptance in accounting is influenced by perceived usefulness, which includes time and cost efficiency, improved data accuracy, ease of real-time access, and accelerated strategic decision-making, as well as perceived ease of use that minimizes technical barriers. The TRI analysis indicates high levels of optimism and innovativeness, with low discomfort and insecurity, reflecting strong readiness for technology adoption. The study concludes that implementing technology-based accounting among student entrepreneurs provides tangible benefits and encourages sustainable use, with practical implications for application developers, educational institutions, and policymakers in strengthening accounting technology literacy among young entrepreneurs

Nosocomial infections, such as Surgical Site Infections (SSI), phlebitis, and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), continue to challenge hospital service quality, including at Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The performance of Infection Prevention and Control Link Nurses (IPCLNs), key in executing the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) program, remains suboptimal, with delays in reporting, inaccurate surveillance documentation, and weak coordination with the IPCN team. This study aims to analyze the effect of training and work motivation on IPCLN performance, with supervision as a moderating variable that strengthens the relationship. Using a quantitative approach, the study employed multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA) on data from 43 IPCLNs selected through total sampling. A structured, valid, and reliable questionnaire was used for data collection. The results showed that training, motivation, and supervision had a significant effect on IPCLN performance. Training and motivation had a positive impact, while supervision not only had a direct effect but also moderated the relationship between training, motivation, and performance. These findings emphasize the importance of structured training, motivation enhancement, and sustainable supervision to improve the IPC program's effectiveness. The practical implication is the need for integrated managerial strategies to strengthen the role of IPCLNs in reducing infection risks and improving hospital service quality.

Cases of sexual violence are rife in educational environments and generally happen to women. Ironically, 55% of sexual violence perpetrators are committed by teachers, in fact many cases are still unreported. Preventing sexual violence is a shared responsibility. This study aims to determine the conditions, impacts and strategies that can be used to prevent sexual violence. A qualitative analytical approach with secondary data in the form of interviews broadcast via the Narasi TV and YouTube websites (Crime Lab, COKRO TV, KAWANUATV MANADO, Tribun Health, UNPAR OFFICIAL) was used in this research. The impacts felt by victims of sexual violence include feeling afraid, embarrassed, depressed, traumatized and low self-esteem. Strategies that can be implemented include promoting social norms, implementing social emotional learning related to sexual violence, forming a task force, mentoring support in the form of counseling and medical services as well as parental supervision and assistance. Mutual cooperation and synergy need to be carried out together to create a school environment that is safe and comfortable for students and free from sexual violence.

Hypotension following spinal anesthesia is a frequent perioperative complication, particularly among pregnant patients, with an incidence ranging from 60% to 80%. This condition may compromise uteroplacental perfusion and pose serious risks to both mother and fetus. Leg elevation represents a simple, safe, inexpensive, and effective non-pharmacological intervention that functions through gravitational autotransfusion, enhancing venous return and improving cardiac output. This scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and the PRISMA-ScR framework, guided by the PICO approach. The population included adult patients undergoing spinal anesthesia, with the intervention consisting of elevating the legs at an angle of 20–30° or approximately 30 cm for 10–15 minutes, compared with the standard supine position. Literature searches were performed through PubMed  and Google Scholar, focusing on primary studies published within the last five years. Of the 130 articles identified, 10 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed descriptively. The findings demonstrate that leg elevation significantly increases systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as mean arterial pressure (MAP), while reducing the incidence of post-spinal hypotension. The technique also decreases vasopressor requirements without notable adverse effects, particularly in obstetric populations. Based on the available evidence, leg elevation is recommended as an effective and feasible initial non-pharmacological strategy for preventing hypotension after spinal anesthesia, especially in resource-limited clinical settings, with an optimal elevation of 20–30° for 10–15 minutes.

Anemia is a common condition among women of reproductive age, largely due to the monthly menstrual cycle. This condition can impair daily activities and reduce productivity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021 approximately 29.9% of women aged 15–49 years experienced anemia. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia increased from 37.1% in 2013 to 48.9% in 2018. Furthermore, around 32% of young women aged 15–24 years in Indonesia are affected, meaning that three to four out of every ten adolescent girls experience anemia. This study aimed to examine the relationship between adolescent girls’ knowledge about anemia and their adherence to consuming iron supplement tablets. An analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The research was conducted at the Al Fatih Tahfidz Islamic Boarding School in Sintang Regency in 2025. Total sampling was used, involving all 34 adolescent girls. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The analysis produced a p-value of 0.341 (p<0.05), suggesting an association between knowledge of anemia and compliance with iron supplement consumption. The obtained odds ratio (OR) of 3.629 indicates that adolescent girls with lower levels of knowledge were 3.629 times more likely to be non-compliant in taking iron supplements.
