This study aims to identify and evaluate the cultural tourism potential of Kalurahan Grogol in Gunungkidul Regency to inform the development of a community-based cultural tourism village. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach supported by quantitative scoring techniques using a 1–5 Likert scale across four assessment dimensions: cultural value, physical value, tourism value, and experiential value. The analysis applied Du Cros and McKercher’s Market Appeal–Robusticity Matrix to map the market attractiveness and cultural robustness of each cultural asset. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation studies of 46 tangible and intangible cultural assets in Kalurahan Grogol. The findings reveal that most cultural assets exhibit moderate to high cultural robustness, indicating that local cultural practices remain active and socially sustained within the community. Prominent cultural assets such as Rasulan, Karawitan Lestari Budoyo, Reog Sedyo Laras, Gejlok Lesung, Sega Berkat, and Tempe Godhong are positioned in Quadrant A1, characterized by high market appeal and high robustness, making them highly potential as leading cultural tourism attractions. Meanwhile, assets in Quadrants B and C present opportunities to develop creative, educational, spiritual, and wellness-based experiential tourism products. The study also finds that several sacred traditions categorized in Quadrant D are more appropriately preserved through non-commercial approaches. The absence of cultural assets in the D3 category indicates that the cultural system of Kalurahan Grogol remains adaptive and regenerative amid modernization. This research contributes theoretically by extending the application of the Market Appeal–Robusticity Matrix into the context of community-based cultural tourism villages. It provides strategic recommendations for sustainable cultural tourism development that remain sensitive to local cultural authenticity.

Background: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is an abnormal cell growth in the liver characterized by increased number of dividing liver cells accompanied by malignant transformation. A common paraneoplastic phenomenon in HCC patients is hypoglycemia, which arises due to hepatic dysfunction impairing gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, as well as tumor-mediated IGF-II production. This condition causes hypoglycemia as a primary nursing problem requiring comprehensive nursing care. Objective: To describe the nursing care process for a patient with HCC focusing on blood glucose instability management and knowledge deficit intervention. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative method through a case study approach. Data were collected through interview, observation, documentation study, and literature review. Results: Two nursing diagnoses were identified: blood glucose instability related to hepatic dysfunction and knowledge deficit related to lack of information exposure. Nursing interventions performed included hypoglycemia management and disease process education. After 2x24 hours of nursing implementation, both diagnoses were partially resolved, as GDS values remained fluctuating and behavioral change had not been fully achieved. Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing management through routine blood glucose monitoring, dextrose administration, nutritional modification, and health education can improve blood glucose stability and patient knowledge in HCC patients.

This study examines the application of the professional code of ethics for Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers in building student integrity in secondary schools during the digital era. The primary issues discussed include the extent to which the code of ethics is implemented, its impact on students’ moral-spiritual standards, and the challenges of aligning professional ethics with a ministry calling. Using a library research approach, this study analyzes biblical texts, ethics textbooks, and scientific journals published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that the professionalism of CRE teachers must be grounded in Kingdom of God values by integrating pedagogical competence with theological calling through In-Persona Christi theory and the concept of vocatio. Authentic teacher exemplarity is identified as the most effective instrument for adolescent character formation amid the post-truth era, where digital information often blurs moral judgment. This study recommends a kenosis pedagogy approach, requiring educators to be authentically present, humble, and free from intellectual arrogance in order to achieve meaningful transformation of student character, integrity, and moral-spiritual maturity within contemporary Christian educational practice and school life contexts.

The development of information technology and the use of social media have increased the potential for defamation against various institutions, including educational institutions. The reputation of schools or educational institutions is an important social asset because it is directly related to public trust, institutional credibility, and the continuity of the educational process. However, the Indonesian legal system still places greater emphasis on protecting individual reputation than institutional reputation, creating a need to reexamine the legal position of educational institutions in responding to attacks on their good name. This study aims to analyze legal protection for the reputation of educational institutions within the Indonesian legal system and to formulate a more comprehensive reconstruction of legal protection that is relevant to the development of digital spaces. This research uses a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches. Data sources consist of primary legal materials, including Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of legal literature and educational theory. The results show that defamation provisions in the Criminal Code and the ITE Law have not explicitly provided adequate protection for the reputation of educational institutions. Therefore, legal protection reconstruction is needed through affirming educational institutions as legal subjects whose reputation deserves protection, strengthening reputation recovery mechanisms, and integrating educational ethics perspectives into legal regulation.

This study aims to analyze the role of parents in fostering adolescents' moral development and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in this process in Karya Jaya Village, Buton Regency. This research is motivated by the importance of adolescence as a critical developmental stage that is highly vulnerable to environmental influences, thus requiring optimal moral guidance, especially from the family as the first and primary educational institution. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects consist of 30 parents and adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain in-depth and comprehensive data. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that parents play a significant role in moral development through role modeling, habituation of moral and religious values, effective communication, and supervision of adolescents' behavior in daily life. Parental role modeling is a key factor in shaping adolescents’ moral behavior, as adolescents tend to imitate what they observe within the family environment. Supporting factors include harmonious family conditions, active parental involvement, and a positive social environment. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include parents' busyness, lack of supervision, and the influence of technology and peer environment. Therefore, the role of parents is crucial in shaping positive moral behavior among adolescents.

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) provides short-term income for rural communities but frequently creates environmental, safety, and governance problems when it operates outside formal control. This study aimed to analyze the existing condition of ASGM, identify the driving and inhibiting factors of its arrangement, describe the perceived impacts, and formulate strategic directions for ASGM arrangement in Karang Jaya District, North Musi Rawas Regency, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied using semi-structured interviews supported by secondary data on the study area, population, and agricultural land use. Twenty-two informants represented district officials, village officials, technical agencies, company representatives, community leaders, nearby residents, and ASGM actors. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that ASGM development is driven by gold potential, mining history, household economic pressure, limited alternative employment, and weak field control. The main impacts include land degradation, open mining pits, landslide and occupational accident risks, and mercury-related water and soil contamination. The recommended strategy combines alternative livelihood development, skills training, local economic institutional strengthening, gradual area monitoring, land rehabilitation, and mercury-risk education.

This study aims to reconstruct a Greek Exegesis learning model based on formative hermeneutics by integrating syntactic analysis with the spiritual transformation of theology students. Traditional Greek instruction often emphasizes technical grammar and textual translation, thereby creating a gap between academic rigor, interpretive sensitivity, and spiritual formation. To address this issue, the present research develops and evaluates an instructional model that positions grammatical inquiry not merely as a linguistic exercise, but as a formative process for understanding Scripture responsibly. This research employs a quantitative descriptive-correlational design involving 30 theology students as participants. Data were collected through syntactic analysis tests and Likert-scale instruments measuring hermeneutical awareness and spiritual disposition. The results show that the implementation of the formative hermeneutical model achieved a high effectiveness level of 81.7%. Students’ syntactic competence reached 78%, which falls into the good category, while spiritual transformation attained 84.8%, categorized as very good. These findings indicate that the model significantly improves both analytical competence and spiritual development. This study proposes an integrative pedagogical framework in which syntactic analysis functions as a formative hermeneutical practice that shapes theological virtues, interpretive responsibility, faith maturity, and holistic ministerial readiness among theology students within diverse contemporary theological education contexts and ministries.

Vector-borne infectious diseases remain a public health concern, particularly in tropical regions such as Indonesia. Sanitation clinics at public health centers (Puskesmas) play a role in identifying environmental risk factors and planning interventions to support vector-borne disease control. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of sanitation clinics in environmental intervention planning. The method used was a literature review of scientific articles, journals, and related documents published between 2015-2025. Data were analyzed descriptively to identify forms of environmental interventions and their effectiveness. The results showed that sanitation clinics play an important role in environmental health counseling, sanitation inspections, health education, and environmental intervention planning. However, their implementation still faces challenges, including limited numbers of sanitarians, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and suboptimal environmental interventions. Nevertheless, sanitation clinics continue to contribute to the prevention of environment-based diseases and vector control. Therefore, strengthening resources and improving the quality of intervention planning are necessary to enhance the effectiveness of sanitation clinic programs.

This study investigates the development of Indonesian language literacy among third-grade elementary school students. The primary problems identified were acute classroom passivity and low reading comprehension, evidenced by an initial learning mastery of only 45.16%, which were largely driven by conventional teacher-centered pedagogy. The objective of this research is to enhance early-grade reading literacy and active participation through an innovative instructional intervention. The proposed method employed a two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) design at SDN Jrebeng Kulon 1, integrating the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by serial picture media. This approach utilizes chronological visual scaffolding to facilitate narrative comprehension for students in the concrete operational stage. The results demonstrated a highly significant academic progression: classical learning mastery increased to 70.97% (mean score: 80.80) in Cycle I and culminated in an absolute 100% mastery rate (mean score: 94.51) by the end of Cycle II. The synthesis of these findings reveals that transitioning from static visual aids to serial visual stimuli within a problem-oriented framework effectively mitigates cognitive dissonance and eradicates classroom passivity. In conclusion, the integration of the PBL model with serial picture media serves as a comprehensive pedagogical solution that not only maximizes cognitive reading comprehension but also reconstructs students' verbal articulation and social-collaborative skills, offering a highly scalable strategy for early primary education.

This study aims to analyze in-depth cognitive learning theory and its implications for improving the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching at the elementary school level. The adopted methodological approach is qualitative through library research, with the application of content analysis and theoretical synthesis techniques. Primary data sources were obtained from academic literature including textbooks, scientific journals, and the latest empirical research relevant within the last decade. The results of the analysis indicate that cognitive learning theory positions cognitive processes as the core of learning activities, allowing students to function as active agents in constructing knowledge through understanding, analysis, memory representation, and integration with pre-existing cognitive schemas. In the context of PAI, this approach enables meaningful learning through interactive pedagogical strategies such as collaborative discussions, problem-solving, case studies, and metacognitive reflection, which are empirically adapted to the stages of students' cognitive development. The implementation of cognitive theory significantly contributes to strengthening conceptual understanding, increasing learning engagement, developing critical thinking skills, transferring knowledge, and internalizing Islamic values. Thus, cognitive learning theory makes a substantial contribution to optimizing the effectiveness of PAI teaching in elementary schools through an interactive, systematic, and understanding-oriented approach.

Multicultural education offers hope in addressing various social tensions that have emerged in recent times, as it is an educational approach that consistently upholds values, beliefs, heterogeneity, plurality, and diversity in all aspects of education. This study aims to describe the implementation of multicultural inclusive learning in developing students’ moral character and to identify the challenges of its implementation at MIN 2 Gunungkidul Yogyakarta. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students as sources of information. The data were analyzed through data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings show that multicultural inclusive learning was implemented through the habituation of the 5S values (smiling, greeting, addressing, politeness, and courtesy), inclusive classroom arrangement for students with special needs, and the strengthening of discipline, responsibility, independence, care, and religious activities within the madrasah environment. These practices contributed to a warmer learning atmosphere, acceptance of differences, and social interaction between regular students and students with special needs. The main challenges included the limited availability of special assistant teachers, teachers’ limited competence in handling students with special needs, and insufficient inclusive learning facilities

This study aims to analyze the role of kenotic Christology as a theological foundation for spiritual formation and non-dominative leadership in undergraduate theological education at STT Kerusso Indonesia. A quantitative survey design was employed, involving 26 students as respondents through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The results indicate that all measured variables are in the high category, with mean scores for kenotic Christology ranging from 4.10 to 4.30, spiritual formation at approximately 4.20, and non-dominative leadership at approximately 4.25. Correlation analysis shows strong positive relationships between kenotic Christology and spiritual formation (r≈0.65), as well as between spiritual formation and leadership (r≈0.70). Regression analysis further reveals a significant simultaneous contribution of 55%, indicating that the variables collectively support the formation of servant-oriented leadership. These findings confirm that kenotic Christology functions as a meaningful theological foundation in shaping spiritual habits, humility, self-emptying attitudes, and leadership practices that avoid domination. The study concludes that theological education should intentionally integrate kenotic values to strengthen spiritual maturity and servant leadership among future church leaders within academic communities that prepare students for humble ministry in diverse ecclesial contexts.
