Hasil analisis menunjukkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa tergolong “baik” pada setiap indikator, dengan skor tertinggi pada keluwesan (75,35%) dan terendah pada keaslian (61,27%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun siswa telah memiliki kemampuan berpikir kreatif yang cukup baik, pengembangan ide-ide orisinal masih perlu ditingkatkan. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi bahan masukan bagi guru untuk merancang strategi pembelajaran yang lebih relevan dan mendukung pengembangan kreativitas siswa

In the modern era, the need for sophisticated vehicle security systems is increasing along with the high rate of motor vehicle theft. This research designs and implements a fingerprint sensor-based vehicle security system using an Arduino Uno microcontroller. This system aims to improve security by utilizing biometric technology that can only be accessed by verified users. The fingerprint sensor is used to recognize the user's fingerprint, then activate the system through a relay instead of a conventional key. System testing shows a fast response time with an estimated rise time of about 0.5 seconds and settling time of about 2 seconds, without any misidentification (false positive or false negative). Thus, the system is proven to provide higher security, good authentication speed, and ease of use compared to conventional security systems. These results show that the implementation of biometric technology in vehicles has the potential to be widely applied.

Information systems can be technically defined as a set of interconnected components designed to support decision-making and drive organizational operations. PT Asuransi Takaful Keluarga utilizes an information system in the form of the Takaful eCard mobile application, which facilitates registration and access to outpatient and inpatient insurance services at partner hospitals. Over time, several usability issues have emerged related to the application's user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). To evaluate user satisfaction and comfort levels, usability testing was conducted using the Heuristic Evaluation method. This method assesses UI design flaws based on 10 established usability principles. The evaluation revealed design issues in (H2) question Q6, (H3) question Q7, and (H10) questions Q27 and Q28. These issues are primarily related to the absence of new feature additions, ineffective message dialog boxes, and the lack of a user guidance module. The findings highlight the need for UI/UX improvements to enhance user interaction with the Takaful eCard application.

The growing demand for affordable transportation has significantly expanded the used car market. This study aims to develop optimal sales strategies by analyzing seller types and vehicle categories through exploratory data analysis and linear regression techniques. Using a cleaned public dataset of over 150,000 used car listings in Germany, key variables such as registration year, mileage, vehicle type, and seller type were examined. Results indicate that individual sellers dominate the market, although dealers set higher and more stable prices. SUVs and limousines typically hold higher market value. The linear regression model achieved an R-squared value of 0.34, suggesting that registration year and mileage account for 34% of the price variance. These findings offer practical insights for stakeholders in the used car business to tailor pricing strategies based on vehicle attributes and seller classification

CV. Apris Expressindo is a private company engaged in the construction and distributor of U-PVC frames. In its business process activities, CV. Apris Expressindo still does not utilize technology optimally, so that the transfer of information regarding offers, sales, purchases, product stock, suppliers, customers, and financial reports is still done manually. This causes inefficient business processes including: slow fulfillment of customer orders, product pricing errors between divisions, product marketing that is not optimal, financial reports that cannot be seen and controlled by company leaders. Therefore, it is necessary to implement Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) which aims to overcome these problems. The methodology used in this study was carried out in several stages, namely, data collection: interviews, observation and literacy studies, business process analysis: activity diagrams and use case diagrams, implementation: installation, configuration and module customization, testing: blackbox and UAT (User Acception Test) . The results of this study indicate that the ERP software that has been selected and implemented, namely the Odoo application, can improve and simplify business process activities and can minimize any problems faced today. It is hoped that with this ERP system business operations can be more effective and efficient so that it is expected to provide more financial benefits for CV Apris Expressindo.

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to enhance literacy culture among students through a short story writing workshop conducted at MAN 1 Brebes. The program was initiated in response to the low interest in reading and writing among teenagers. The training was carried out intensively using a project-based learning approach, emphasizing the creative writing process from planning and drafting to revision. Participants were encouraged to choose their own story themes to foster personal and emotional engagement in writing. Evaluation was conducted through pretests and posttests to measure improvement in writing skills. The results showed that 87% of participants experienced an increase in scores, particularly in understanding story structure, diction usage, and conflict development. Each student produced one short story, which was compiled into a digital anthology as the final product of the training. This activity proved effective in fostering literacy interest and improving students' writing abilities, and it is expected to serve as a model for similar training programs in other educational settings.

Dyslipidemia is a major public health risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This condition is characterized by abnormal blood lipid levels, including LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Hypercholesterolemia is often asymptomatic, resulting in many undiagnosed cases until cardiovascular complications occur. The rising prevalence of dyslipidemia, especially in low- and middle-income countries, underscores the importance of screening and prevention to reduce the risk of long-term complications. This community service activity involved 49 adult participants in Danau Sunter, North Jakarta, with cholesterol and HDL level screening conducted through blood tests by trained health workers. The results showed that 29 participants (59.18%) had abnormal cholesterol levels, and 22 participants (44.9%) had low to very low HDL levels. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, increased physical activity, and controlling other risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption, can help lower cholesterol levels. Routine cholesterol screening is highly effective for early detection of dyslipidemia risk, enabling timely preventive interventions to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

This meta-analytic study systematically examines the transcultural validity and psychometric characteristics of various instruments employed to measure psychological trauma in the Middle East. The analysis encompasses a total of 47 studies involving 12,487 participants, originating from twelve Middle Eastern countries and published between 2000 and 2023. Data synthesis reveals a marked variation in internal reliability coefficients, with Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.73 to 0.92, and construct validity values spanning from 0.65 to 0.87. Meta-regression results indicate that the presence of rigorous linguistic adaptation processes significantly contributes to enhanced instrument validity, as reflected in a β coefficient of 0.43 with a significance level of p less than 0.001. Cross-cultural confirmatory factor analysis reveals an adequately fitting four-factor model, indicated by a CFI value of 0.92 and an RMSEA of 0.058. Furthermore, Differential Item Functioning analysis identifies item functioning imbalance in 23 percent of the total items, primarily related to differences in the conceptualization of somatic symptoms, as shown by a chi-square value of 127.84 and p less than 0.001. These findings expand upon the empirical scope of prior studies such as those conducted by Nasution et al (2025) and Nasution et al (2025), by introducing a new dimension concerning the influence of specific cultural factors on the construction and measurement of trauma symptoms in the Middle East. Additionally, unlike previous analyses by Rasmussen et al (2023), this study demonstrates that culturally adapted instruments exhibit more stable measurement invariance, as indicated by a CFI change of less than 0.01, compared to instruments that are merely translated literally. These results provide the first robust empirical foundation for the urgency of developing trauma measurement tools that are sensitive to cultural dimensions, particularly within the social and linguistic context of Middle Eastern populations.

This study comprehensively examines the impact of social media on the formation and intensification of collective trauma in the Middle East through a digital meta-analytical approach synthesizing 47 empirical studies, encompassing a total of 31,842 participants, published between 2015 and 2024. The results reveal a strong and statistically significant correlation between the intensity of social media use and levels of collective trauma, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.67 and a p-value of < 0.001, indicating a consistent and substantive relationship. Furthermore, regression analysis indicates that exposure to violent content through social media accounts for 43.2 percent of the variance in communal post-traumatic stress symptoms, affirming the role of digital media as a significant catalyst in amplifying collective psychological responses to conflict in the Middle East. Daily social media use exceeding five hours was found to significantly increase the risk of experiencing collective trauma by 2.8 times, with an odds ratio of 2.84 and a 95 percent confidence interval ranging from 2.31 to 3.49. Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter demonstrated a more substantial influence in widely disseminating traumatic experiences, with a beta coefficient of 0.58, compared to Instagram, which had a relatively lower influence with a beta value of 0.34, indicating that the structural and technological logic of each platform mediates the psychological transmission effect. Thematic analysis across studies revealed three primary mechanisms through which trauma is transmitted via social media: first, the amplification of traumatic narratives, accounting for 41.3 percent of identified patterns; second, the normalization of violence at 32.7 percent; and third, the reinforcement of collective identity based on shared traumatic experiences at 26.0 percent, thereby creating a digital ecosystem prone to the social accumulation of negative emotional states. These findings substantially expand the scope of prior research, such as that conducted by Atallah in 2017 and Nasciutti and Rahbari-Jawoko in 2021, which focused more narrowly on individual trauma, by highlighting a broader collective dimension and emphasizing the specific roles of various digital platforms in reinforcing these psychosocial dynamics. This study also identifies a novel pattern of both theoretical and practical significance, namely that algorithmic content recommendation contributes significantly to the formation of closed psychological echo chambers of trauma, intensifying exposure to traumatic content and deepening the affective impact of Middle Eastern conflict within digital spaces, with a significance level of p < 0.001. Accordingly, these findings underscore the urgent need for strategically designed and contextually grounded digital interventions to mitigate the burden of collective trauma in communities affected by protracted armed conflict in the Middle East.

This study aims to affirm the construct validity of Islamic moderation based on the tafsir of Ulul Albab through an empirical comparison between Indonesia and Syria in responding to the social polarization that divides contemporary societies. Through a comprehensive meta-analysis of 847 journal articles indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO published between 2015 and 2024, the researchers examined data from 15,428 Indonesian respondents and 12,736 Syrian respondents, integrating cross-cultural quantitative findings within a rigorous statistical framework. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated model fit (χ²/df = 2.184; CFI = 0.947; TLI = 0.932; RMSEA = 0.041), while convergent validity indicated an AVE of 0.563 in Indonesia and 0.589 in Syria, with composite reliability values of 0.891 and 0.876 respectively, underscoring the internal consistency of the instrument. Cross-national invariance testing revealed statistically significant differences (Δχ² = 47.23; p < 0.001), with the mean score of Islamic moderation in Indonesia (M = 4.12; SD = 0.67) surpassing that of Syria (M = 3.84; SD = 0.78), indicating that distinctive sociohistorical contexts influence the implementation of moderative values. Furthermore, Islamic moderation functioned as a partial mediator of the relationship between religious literacy and social tolerance (β = 0.342; p < 0.001 for Indonesia; β = 0.287; p < 0.001 for Syria), thereby enriching Pargament's (2011) findings on religious coping and Durrheim et al.'s (2016) work on intergroup prejudice. The findings reveal that Islamic moderation encompasses cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions that are theoretically distinct from generic notions of tolerance, affirming the importance of the Ulul Albab approach in addressing socio-religious tensions. Lastly, the novelty of this research lies in the development of a tailored instrument that synthesizes values derived from the tafsir of Ulul Albab, going beyond conventional tolerance scales and offering a more nuanced assessment of the moderative capacity of Muslims in both countries.
