This research is expected to provide educational institutions with a basis for designing mental health support policies and programs to improve student academic quality.

A traffic accident is a social risk event that causes serious losses, either in the form of injury, loss of property, or death of a family member. The State provides protection through the Road Traffic Accident Fund as stipulated in Law Number 34 of 1964 and Government Regulation Number 18 of 1965. However, in practice, the regulation of the status of victims and the coverage of the heirs of the beneficiaries still raises juridical and social problems because they do not fully reflect substantive justice. This study aims to analyze the concept of victims and heirs in the applicable Road Traffic Accident Fund regulations, as well as formulate a more equitable reconstruction of the regulation. This research is normative legal research with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. Analysis is carried out on positive legal norms and social realities that develop in society. The results of the study show that the definition of victim and the limitation of the coverage of heirs in the current positive law are narrow and administrative, so they are less responsive to the complexity of social relations and the economic dependence of the families of traffic accident victims. The mismatch between normative boundaries and social realities has implications for the non-achievement of the goals of social protection and substantive justice. Therefore, this study offers a reconstruction of the interpretation of the concept of victims and an expansion of the coverage of heirs that is more responsive, inclusive, and oriented towards social protection.

Suboptimal breast milk production during postpartum is a reason for formula feeding, thus preventing exclusive breastfeeding targets. According to the WHO, the global coverage of exclusive breastfeeding should reach 68% by 2023. Non-pharmacological efforts can be implemented by administering moringa leaf tea, which contains flavonoids, phytosterols, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins, which function as lactogogues to stimulate the hormones prolactin and oxytocin. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of administering moringa leaf tea to breastfeeding mothers at the Fitriatul Laili Rejoagung Banyuwangi TPMB in 2025 on their ability to increase breast milk production. This study involved 30 postpartum mothers: 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. The study used a two-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. Five grams of moringa leaf tea, 200 milliliters daily for seven days, was administered to the intervention group. The control group received normal postpartum care. The sampling method used was sequential sampling. Ten breast milk production indices were used as instruments. A t-test was used for data analysis. This study has been ethically reviewed. According to the findings, the average breast milk production in the intervention group increased from 5.87 to 8.87, while in the control group it increased from 6.00 to 6.60. The intervention group's averages differed from the control group by 3.00 and 0.6, respectively. The p-value was 0.000, indicating that tea made from moringa leaves can increase breast milk production. Therefore, this tea is recommended as a natural substitute for breast milk production.

The thinking process carried out by teachers occurs in three phases, namely before learning, during learning, and after learning. The results of the analysis of these processes have the potential to produce innovative didactic designs, and these three processes can be formulated as a series of steps to produce new didactic designs. This series of activities is formulated as Didactic Design Research (DDR). Didactic Design Research basically consists of three stages, namely: (1) analysis of the didactic situation before learning which is in the form of a Hypothetical Didactic Design including ADP, 2) metapedidactic analysis, and 3) retrospective analysis, namely an analysis that links the results of the analysis of the hypothetical didactic situation with the results of the metapedidactic analysis. From these three stages, an Empirical Didactic Design will be obtained which is not closed to being continuously refined through the three stages of DDR.

The extruder-type floating pellet machine is a form of appropriate technology that works by using a screw system to push the raw material while applying pressure to form dense pellets. The main source of raw material for making these pellets comes from trash fish, which are small fish caught by fishermen that are unfit for consumption and have low economic value. Trash fish are relatively cheap because they are classified as non-economical, but they have great potential for use as fish feed. Their distinctive strong aroma can stimulate fish appetite, while their relatively high protein content makes them an ideal source of nutrition. Before use, the trash fish are first dried and then ground using a flour machine to achieve a fine texture. The floured material is then mixed and the moisture content is adjusted to around 42%, so that the extrusion process can run optimally when using the extruder-type pellet machine. The material formulation consists of 70% trash fish meal, 15% corn meal, and 15% wheat flour. The resulting pellets are then tested in a feed laboratory and show protein levels ranging from 30-40%, depending on the quality of the trash fish raw material used. This community service activity involves fish farmer groups in the Beji area, East Ungaran District, which is expected to increase fish farmer insight on how to make floating pellets using an extruder type pellet printing machine.

State revenue holds a vital position in sustaining national development and the functioning of government, with taxation serving as the primary contributor to Indonesia’s State Budget (APBN). The substantial reliance on tax income obliges the government to manage the taxation system in an optimal, efficient, and sustainable manner. Nevertheless, the attainment of tax revenue targets in practice remains challenged by various issues, including structural, administrative, and strategic limitations. This study seeks to examine the role of strategic tax management in supporting the achievement of state revenue objectives. The research adopts a literature review approach by analyzing textbooks, national and international scholarly journals, official government publications, and relevant regulatory frameworks. The data are analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method through processes of classification, comparison, and synthesis of findings from previous studies. The findings reveal that strategic tax management has a crucial influence on enhancing state revenue performance through coherent policy formulation, flexible strategy execution, and ongoing performance assessment. The integration of information technology, the reinforcement of tax administration, and the improvement of taxpayer compliance emerge as key determinants in achieving revenue targets. Accordingly, strategic tax management constitutes a fundamental tool for ensuring fiscal resilience and promoting sustainable national development.

Teaching plane geometry often faces challenges due to the abstract nature of geometric concepts, which are often detached from students’ real-life contexts. This study is a development research (Research and Development) using a modified 4D model reduced to 3D (Define, Design, Develop) aimed at producing and testing the validity of a Student Worksheet based on ethnomathematics with Batik Sekundang motifs on plane geometry material oriented toward Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL).

Based on these results, the ethnomathematics-based student worksheet with Batik Sekundang motifs is declared suitable to be used as a supporting teaching material for contextual and meaningful plane geometry learning for students in South Bengkulu.

Globalization has brought significant impacts across various sectors of life, including language and literature. Rapid flows of information, intercultural interactions, and the dominance of international languages such as English have triggered changes, adaptations, and even identity confusion in the use of local languages and the development of literary works. This paper explores the influence of globalization on the evolution of language and literature, both in the context of preservation and creativity. Language undergoes modifications in structure and vocabulary as a result of cultural interaction and technological advancement, while literature evolves in terms of genres and media, as reflected in the emergence of digital literature and literacy phenomena on social media platforms. On the other hand, globalization also provides opportunities for local literary works to reach international audiences through translation and digital media. Using a descriptive and analytical approach, this paper highlights the challenges and opportunities arising from the intersection of globalization, language, and literature, as well as their significance in formulating strategies to maintain cultural identity through language and literary expression.

The global tourism industry is experiencing significant growth with a contribution of USD 11.1 trillion to the world's GDP by 2024. Maluku Province has extraordinary natural tourism potential, one of which is the Waai Tree House in Central Maluku Regency which offers a glamorous camping (glamping) concept with the natural beauty of the mountains. Despite having natural advantages, this tourist attraction faces problems of damaged access roads, lack of supporting facilities, and not optimal promotional strategies. This research aims to identify strategic factors through SWOT analysis and formulate effective development strategies to increase the competitiveness of Waai Tree House tourism in a sustainable manner. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with managers and visitors, visual documentation, and literature studies. The data is analyzed using SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, then formulated into four development strategies. The results show the main strengths in the form of natural beauty, unique glamping concepts, and personal service, while the critical weaknesses are damaged road infrastructure and limited facilities. Opportunities include digital promotion and collaboration with governments, while threats include limited accessibility and competition for new destinations. The strategy formulation resulted in four approaches: SO (intensive digital promotion), WO (priority infrastructure improvement), ST (service differentiation), and WT (consistent facility updates) strategy. The implementation of the WO strategy is a top priority with a gradual roadmap of 6-24 months. This research contributes to a contextual strategic framework for the development of glamping tourism in the remote archipelago of Eastern Indonesia.

Citra Jalatarangga is a karawitan composition that is contextually inspired by the duality of freshwater and seawater springs found at Geger Beach. The duality embodied in this idea serves as the fundamental concept and is subsequently implemented in the formulation and structuring of Balinese karawitan performance techniques. This paper discusses the process of creating the work, the formal structure of the composition, and the aesthetic values contained within it. The karawitan composition Citra Jalatarangga employs three theoretical frameworks as analytical tools to describe the duality of the different water sources. Transformation theory is used to determine the form and structure of the composition, creativity theory serves as a reference in the creative process, and postmodern aesthetic theory functions as a guideline for applying aesthetic nuances to the work. The creative method used in the creation of Citra Jalatarangga is the Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani method, which consists of five stages: the inspiration stage (ngawirasa), the exploration stage (ngawacak), the conception stage (ngarencana), the execution stage (ngawangun), and the production stage (ngebah). This work utilizes several instruments from the Gamelan Semara Dana as its expressive medium and is structured into three sections, each representing the duality of the water sources through different formulations and performance techniques. In addition, instrument arrangement, costume design, and lighting design also function as supporting aspects in the presentation of the work, which was staged at Wantilan Banjar Sawangan, Desa Adat Peminge.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Islamic Character Education Program at RA Al-Mu’minin Atula using the Goal Oriented Evaluation model. Islamic character education in early childhood education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ religious attitudes, moral values, and noble character through the internalization of Islamic values from an early age. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected from the head of the institution, classroom teachers, and students through observation and in-depth interviews. The Goal Oriented Evaluation model was applied to assess the achievement of program objectives by comparing predetermined goals with the actual implementation and outcomes in the field. The findings indicate that the Islamic character education program at RA Al-Mu’minin Atula has been implemented fairly effectively, particularly through routine religious activities such as reciting Iqra before learning sessions, collective prayers, and habituation of discipline and polite behavior. The program positively contributes to the development of students’ religious character. However, several aspects require improvement, especially in formulating more measurable indicators and establishing systematic evaluation documentation. In conclusion, the Goal Oriented Evaluation model is appropriate for evaluating Islamic character education programs in early childhood education institutions and provides valuable recommendations for continuous program improvement.

This study aims to determine the relationship between low self-acceptance and the level of self-efficacy in prisoners, as well as its implications on social life after prisoners are released from punishment. The systematic review method  is used with the SPIDER approach to formulate research questions and select relevant articles. The search was conducted through the Publish or Perish, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases with keywords related to self-acceptance, self-efficacy, and inmates. Of the 100 articles identified, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results of the review showed that low self-acceptance was consistently negatively associated with self-efficacy in prisoners, which had an impact on low self-confidence to face social challenges, reintegration, and overcome societal stigma. Psychological factors such as guilt, anxiety, depression, and insecurity can exacerbate low self-acceptance, especially in female inmates. In addition, social support from family, the environment, and psychological interventions have been shown to play an important role in improving self-acceptance and self-efficacy. Interventions such as expressive art therapy, psychoeducation, counseling, skills training, and religious activities have shown effectiveness in improving psychological well-being. These findings underscore the importance of systematic efforts to improve self-acceptance and self-efficacy to support the successful social reintegration of prisoners.

This research seeks to examine the influence of taxpayer knowledge, taxpayer awareness, and tax sanctions on the compliance of motor vehicle taxpayers in Boyolali Regency. Motor vehicle tax constitutes a significant component of regional original revenue; however, the level of revenue realization has not yet fully met the established targets, indicating the presence of compliance-related challenges. The study adopts a quantitative explanatory design. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 motor vehicle taxpayers registered at the Boyolali Samsat Office, with respondents selected through accidental sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software, following preliminary tests of validity, reliability, and classical assumptions. The findings demonstrate that taxpayer knowledge and taxpayer awareness exert a positive and statistically significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. In addition, tax sanctions are also shown to have a positive and significant impact and represent the most dominant factor influencing compliance. These results are consistent with Attribution Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, which highlight the importance of both internal and external determinants in shaping taxpayer compliance behavior. This study is expected to provide empirical support for research on regional tax compliance and offer practical insights for local governments in developing strategies to improve motor vehicle tax compliance.

This study aims to determine the influence of price, product quality, and service quality on customer satisfaction at Salon Natayu.

The concept of force majeure is essential in business agreements in Indonesia, as it regulates the release of contractual obligations that cannot be fulfilled due to events beyond their control such as natural disasters, pandemics, conflicts, or government policies. This study examines force majeure clauses in business agreements in Indonesia from a normative juridical perspective, focusing on the legal framework, its application practices, and its legal implications for contractual certainty. Using normative juridical qualitative methods, data were analyzed from the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) Articles 1244–1245 and 1444–1445, legal doctrine, and literature. The results of the study underlined that the force majeure clause has a strong legal basis in the Civil Code, which exempts the affected party from the obligation of compensation if the failure to perform the obligation is caused by events beyond his control. The application of this clause in the contract allows for the revision, postponement, or termination of a temporary contract, thereby guaranteeing legal certainty and protecting the principles of good faith and contractual fairness. In addition, the formulation of detailed clauses in the contract is crucial to prevent potential legal disputes down the road and ensure fair protection for all parties involved in the business agreement.

The Community Forestry Program (HKm) aims to empower communities around forest areas through sustainable forest management while improving local welfare. However, in Londerang Village, Kumpeh District, the program faces challenges, particularly regarding the limited attention from village government in managing the Bumi Indah Sejahtera Farmer Group Association (KTH). This study examines the role of village government in HKm governance using qualitative methods with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with village officials, KTH members, community representatives, and UPTD KPHP XIII Muaro Jambi, complemented by observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that village government plays four key roles based on Ryaas Rasyid's theory: as regulator through policy formulation and supervision, as dynamizer by encouraging community participation and resolving conflicts, as facilitator by providing access to permits and infrastructure, and as catalyst by initiating program development and innovation. However, coordination between village government and KTH remains suboptimal, limiting program effectiveness. This research contributes to understanding local governance in natural resource management and provides practical recommendations for strengthening village government capacity in implementing community-based forestry programs.

Faith education for children in contemporary Christian families is experiencing a crisis as many parents completely hand over the responsibility of faith education to schools and churches. This study aims to analyze the principles of faith education in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and formulate strategic roles for Christian Religious Education teachers in empowering parents to implement faith education at home. The research method used is qualitative with a library research approach and hermeneutical analysis of Deuteronomy 6:4-9. The results show that Deuteronomy 6:4-9 emphasizes the importance of parental role modeling, repetitive teaching, integration of faith in daily life, and creation of a faith-rich home environment. Christian Religious Education teachers play a strategic role in empowering parents through theological training, provision of practical materials, continuous mentoring, partnership with churches, and exemplary living. Collaboration between Christian Religious Education teachers and families is essential to build a holistic faith education ecosystem so that children grow with a strong faith foundation from home.

The concept of human nature occupies a fundamental position in the philosophy of Islamic education, as it serves as the foundation for formulating educational goals, curriculum design, teaching methods, and the overall direction of education. Islamic education is not merely oriented toward the transfer of knowledge but is directed toward shaping the whole human being in a balanced manner, encompassing physical, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions. This study aims to examine the concept of human nature from the Islamic perspective and the views of Islamic philosophical figures, as well as to analyze its philosophical and practical implications for the implementation of Islamic education. This research employs a library research method by reviewing primary and secondary sources, including the Qur’an, classical Islamic texts, and relevant scholarly literature on human nature and Islamic education. The findings indicate that Islam views human beings as multidimensional creatures endowed with fitrah, intellect, spirituality, and social responsibility as servants and vicegerents of God on earth. The Qur’anic concepts of humanity, reflected in the terms al-insān, al-basyar, and al-nās, emphasize the complexity and uniqueness of humans as biological, rational, spiritual, and social beings. The perspectives of scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, and Hasan Al-Banna further reinforce the view that Islamic education must integrate intellectual, moral, and spiritual development in a balanced manner. The implications of this study highlight the necessity of designing Islamic education in a holistic and humanistic framework to produce insan kamil—individuals who are faithful, knowledgeable, possess noble character, and demonstrate social responsibility in communal life.
