Congenital Megacalyces is a rare anomaly of the renal pelvis-calyceal system characterized by non-obstructive calyx dilatation due to renal medulla hypoplasia. This condition is often misinterpreted as hydronephrosis, leading to unnecessary surgical interventions. Advances in genomic technology and precision imaging have opened up opportunities to understand the molecular basis and anatomical structure of this anomaly more deeply. A literature review was conducted through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, covering publications that discuss the relationship between genomics, imaging, and clinical management of congenital kidney abnormalities. The integration of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), 3D MRI reconstruction imaging, and AI-based radiomics analysis has proven to enhance diagnostic accuracy, differentiate between obstructive and non-obstructive abnormalities, and assist in determining appropriate conservative therapies. Case studies demonstrate the association between SETBP1 mutations and the development of bilateral megacalyces, as well as the effectiveness of long-term monitoring based on multimodal data. The integration of genetic, imaging, and clinical data is a strategic step toward precision medicine in the management of Congenital Megacalyces. This approach improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces unnecessary invasive interventions, and supports individualized therapy based on genetic and anatomical risk factors.

This article proposes Marketing 0.0 as a fundamental conceptual repositioning of marketing theory rooted in the Trust Economy framework. Unlike mainstream marketing theory, which positions trust as an outcome of communication, persuasion, or brand reputation, cross-disciplinary studies in economics, sociology, and neuroscience suggest that trust functions as a pre-decisional condition that precedes market exchange. This research employs a conceptual-theoretical methodology, synthesizing transaction cost theory, social capital, neuroeconomics, and contemporary trust literature. The article's primary contribution is formalizing the shift in trust's position from a dependent variable to an ontological gateway in marketing decision-making. Marketing 0.0 is positioned not as a stage in marketing evolution, but rather as a conceptual ground zero that enables continuous tactical adaptation without reliance on pseudo-novelty. The article concludes with theoretical and practical implications for the development of marketing science in an era of uncertainty and information saturation.

Cold compresses or cryotherapy are one of the non-pharmacological therapies often used in nursing practice to help reduce pain, especially in patients with fractures. Fractures are often accompanied by acute pain that can inhibit mobilization, prolong recovery time, and reduce patient comfort. Therefore, a safe, effective, and easy-to-use pain management method is needed. This article was compiled with the aim of identifying and mapping scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of cold compresses in reducing pain intensity in fracture patients. This study used the Arksey and O'Malley model in conducting the analysis, with articles searched through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for the 2021–2025 publication period. The article selection process followed the PRISMA flow. A review of ten articles showed that most studies used quantitative designs, both experimental and quasi-experimental. The results of the analysis of 11 articles consisted of 8 quantitative articles with experimental and quasi-experimental designs, while 2 articles were case studies. These articles generally discuss the effectiveness of cold compresses in reducing pain intensity in fracture patients using various measurement instruments, such as NRS, VAS, Wong-Baker Faces Scale, and Bourbanis Pain Scale. In addition to reducing pain, several studies also reported that cold compresses can reduce edema, increase mobility, and improve patient comfort. However, variations in the duration, frequency, and method of cold compress application were still found, so there is a need to develop a more standardized protocol in nursing practice.

The quality of assessment instruments plays an important role in determining the accuracy of measuring student learning outcomes in science learning in elementary schools. A good test instrument must meet certain criteria, such as validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discrimination power. This study aims to analyze the quality of daily science test items in grade VIc elementary schools based on these four criteria. The study used a quantitative. The subjects were 19 sixth-grade students, while the instrument analyzed consisted of 25 multiple-choice questions. Data processing and analysis were carried out using Microsoft Excel to calculate item validity through item correlation with total score, test reliability using internal consistency, difficulty level index, and discrimination index. The analysis results showed that 17 questions (68%) were declared valid, while 8 questions (32%) were invalid and needed to be improved. The results of the reliability test indicated that the test instrument had good reliability and was suitable for use as a measuring tool for student learning outcomes. Judging from the level of difficulty, 20 questions (80%) were moderate and 5 questions (20%) were easy, indicating a relatively balanced level of difficulty. Based on the discrimination power, 16 questions (66%) had very good discrimination power, 4 questions (16%) were good, 4 questions (16%) were sufficient, and 1 question (4%) was poor. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the quality of the sixth grade science daily test questions is classified as good and the test instrument is suitable for use, but improvements are still needed on invalid questions and those with low discrimination power so that the quality of the assessment is more optimal. This study emphasizes the importance of teachers' abilities in compiling and analyzing test items to ensure that the assessment of science learning is objective, valid, and reliable.

Science lessons in primary school significantly contribute to the early development of logical, scientific and systematic reasoning skills.   However, learning science can be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding abstract concepts and cause-and-effect interactions.   This is due to the fact that, as per Piaget's theory, primary school students are still in the concrete operational stage and have limited cognitive growth. Data regarding abstraction ability and causal reasoning in the context of science education were collected from various scientific sources using the literature review research methodology.  According to the research findings, STEAM integration, project-based learning strategies such as Project Based Learning (PBL), and the use of real and visual aids can help lower learning barriers. Successful learning is also influenced by the teacher's role as facilitator, which involves presenting the material in a relevant and contextualized way and fostering a positive learning environment. Real-world examples and exceptional examples, such as the use of worksheets based on cause-and-effect relationships and basic experiments, demonstrate how useful these strategies are for improving abstract thinking and understanding of cause-and-effect relationships. Developing innovative teaching methods based on practical, exploratory and integrative experiments is essential for maximizing the scientific understanding of primary school students.

The development of Islamic political thought cannot be separated from the historical context and social dynamics surrounding it. One significant period that influenced the direction of this thought is the era of Western colonialism in the 19th to early 20th centuries. During this period, much of the Islamic world was under Western colonial rule, which had a profound impact on the social, political, and intellectual conditions of Muslims. Within the Muslim community itself, various internal issues related to religious understanding arose, causing difficulties in facing the dominance and hegemony of the West. Islamic political thought became one of the fields of study in political science, which is not only relevant today but also gained attention during the classical Islamic period. This study is highly significant, both in the development of knowledge and as a framework for political practice. Therefore, it is important to study Islamic political thought, as it provides deep insights into political dynamics and Islam’s contribution to shaping existing political systems, as well as offering perspectives that are useful in facing contemporary global challenges.
