Bullying in schools is a serious issue that affects students’ mental health and therefore needs to be addressed through specific programs that create a safe, comfortable, and healthy environment. Increasing public awareness of the dangers of bullying has encouraged the emergence of anti-bullying programs in schools, including at SMA Dharma Karya UT. This study aims to analyze the implementation of such a program with four main objectives, namely to understand its execution, assess its effectiveness, identify existing obstacles, and provide relevant recommendations for improvement. The research method employed is quantitative with a descriptive approach using questionnaires developed based on program implementation and mental health indicators, tested for validity and reliability, and analyzed with SPSS version 25. The research sample involved 98 students from grades X, XI, and XII, selected through a representative quota sampling technique. The results show a significant relationship between the anti-bullying program and students’ mental health, with a correlation coefficient of 0.760 indicating a strong relationship. The program explains 57.8% of the variance in mental health, while 42.2% is influenced by other external factors. Simple regression analysis produced a constant of 43.783 and a coefficient of 1.814, meaning improvements in program implementation are directly proportional to improvements in mental health. Hypothesis testing confirmed significance with a value of 0.000 < 0.05, thus accepting the alternative hypothesis. The anti-bullying program has proven to be effective and can serve as a reference for other schools.

This study aims to analyze the influence of using non-digital or “traditional” learning media on the learning concentration of Grade X students in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of increasing student distractions caused by the use of gadgets and digital media, which often reduce focus during the learning process. Therefore, alternative learning strategies are needed by utilizing simple media that emphasize direct interaction between teachers and students. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach through questionnaires distributed to Grade X students as respondents. The study population consists of all Grade X students at one senior high school, with the sample determined using Slovin’s formula to ensure representativeness. Data were analyzed using simple regression techniques to measure the extent of the influence of non-digital learning media on students’ concentration levels in PAI learning. The results of the study show a positive and significant effect, where non-digital learning media such as blackboards, flashcards, and simple teaching aids were proven to help increase focus, reduce distractions, and strengthen comprehension of religious subject matter. In addition, the use of traditional media encourages active student participation through discussions and hands-on activities, making the learning process more interactive. Thus, this study concludes that non-digital learning media remain relevant as effective alternatives, particularly in PAI learning for Grade X students, and can serve as a practical solution in addressing the challenges of the digital era, which is filled with potential distractions.

Patriarchy in the modern era still persists despite continuous efforts to achieve gender equality across various aspects of life, including education, the workplace, and social interactions. Its presence is often reinforced through mass media, particularly in television series. The drama series “Bid’ah” vividly portrays the impact of patriarchy on women’s lives, both in domestic settings and in the public sphere. This study aims to examine the extent to which exposure to the series “Bid’ah” influences viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This research employed a quantitative approach involving 100 undergraduate students from the Communication Science program at Universitas Bina Bangsa. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where participants were selected based on specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale to measure the respondents’ perceptions. The data were then analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The findings indicate a significant influence between exposure to the series and viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This is evidenced by a correlation coefficient of 0.405 (p-value 0.000) and a coefficient of determination of 0.164. These results suggest that 16.4% of the variance in perceptions of patriarchy can be explained by exposure to the “Bid’ah” series, while 83.6% is influenced by other factors beyond this study. These findings highlight the important role of media in shaping social perceptions, particularly regarding gender norms and patriarchal values. This study contributes to the understanding of how media, especially television dramas, can both reinforce and challenge gender stereotypes, while also providing insights into the potential influence of media content on audiences’ attitudes toward gender equality.

This research aimed to determine the effect of behavioral accounting implementation on the financial performance of the St. Gabriel Maumere Foundation. The data collection techniques used in this research were questionnaires and documentation. This research was quantitative research with an associative approach. The data analysis techniques used in this research were research instrument testing, classical assumption testing, simple regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination (R2) testing. The results showed that there was a partial effect of the implementation of behavioral accounting on financial performance. This can be seen from the t-value, which was greater than the t-table value, namely 3,767 > 2,032, and the significance value was smaller than the alpha level used, which was 5% or 0.05, namely 0.00 <0.05, so H0 was rejected, which means that the implementation of behavioral accounting (X) had a significant effect on financial performance (Y).  

This study examines the impact of workload and work stress on employee job satisfaction at PT Inhutani I UMI Gresik, a wood-processing company operating under Perum Perhutani. The research employed a quantitative design with an associative (causal) approach to identify the extent to which workload and stress contribute to variations in job satisfaction. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 48 employees selected using a simple random sampling method. The analytical process involved validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, as well as t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that workload and work stress, when considered simultaneously, have a significant influence on job satisfaction. However, partial testing revealed that workload did not exert a significant effect, while work stress had a statistically significant negative impact on satisfaction. Regression analysis further demonstrated that work stress emerged as the dominant predictor, accounting for a larger proportion of variance compared to workload, as reflected by the higher beta coefficient and partial determination value. These findings suggest that while workload may serve as a motivator when maintained within reasonable limits, unmanaged stress arising from role ambiguity, conflicting demands, and organizational pressures significantly undermines job satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of stress management strategies within organizations, particularly in high-demand industries such as forestry and wood processing. Practical implications include the need for supportive leadership, effective communication, realistic target-setting, and the implementation of employee assistance programs. By addressing stress more effectively, organizations can enhance employee well-being, foster greater job satisfaction, and ultimately improve overall organizational performance.

Football supporters are often referred to as the "12th player" due to their crucial role in creating a lively match atmosphere and boosting players' morale. Nearly every province or city in Indonesia has its own football club and a passionate fanbase. Notable examples include The Jakmania (supporters of Persija Jakarta), Bobotoh (Persib Bandung), and Bonek (Persebaya Surabaya). The challenges faced by these supporters extend beyond organizational involvement and relate closely to their ability to manage and allocate time effectively between work and non-work domains. For members of The Jakmania who are also employed, balancing professional responsibilities, personal life, and supporter-related activities has become a significant issue. This study aims to examine the influence of Motivation (X1) on Work-Life Balance (Y), as well as the influence of Organizational Culture (X2) on Work-Life Balance (Y) among working members of The Jakmania Ciledug, Tangerang City. The research utilized probability sampling through a simple random sampling method to ensure randomness and avoid selection bias, thereby enhancing the representativeness of the sample. The total population consisted of 112 members, and using the Slovin formula, a final sample of 53 respondents was determined. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression, assisted by SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel 2017. The findings reveal that Motivation (X1) has a positive and significant influence on Work-Life Balance (Y), and Organizational Culture (X2) also has a positive and significant influence on Work-Life Balance (Y).

This study aims to determine the contribution of work-family balance to work engagement in employees in long-distance marriages (LDM). The phenomenon of LDM is becoming increasingly common in the modern workplace, especially for couples who must live apart due to work demands in different locations. This condition can pose challenges in maintaining a balance between work and family life demands, which in turn can affect individual engagement in their work. Therefore, this study is important to understand the extent to which work-family balance plays a role in increasing the morale and work engagement of employees in LDM. This study involved 41 employees in LDM, with ages ranging from 24 to 50 years. The data collection method used two measuring instruments: the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) developed by Schaufeli and Bakker (2004), and the work-family balance scale developed by Carlson et al. (2009). Data analysis was conducted using simple regression analysis techniques to determine the contribution of the independent variables to the dependent variable. The results showed that work-family balance contributed 65% to work engagement in employees in LDM. These findings indicate that the higher the level of work-family balance, the higher the employee's engagement in their work. Therefore, it is important for organizations to create policies and work environments that support work-family balance, especially for employees in long-distance marriages.

Before entering marriage, a person will generally choose a partner who meets their criteria. Choosing a partner is not something to be done carelessly, as this decision has a significant impact on the journey of the household and the harmony of the relationship in the future. Factors influencing partner selection can be very diverse, ranging from personal values, social environment, to the influence of developments in the times and mass media. One popular cultural phenomenon that also influences is K-Pop. For some people, a deep interest in K-Pop idols or artists can form certain standards or criteria in choosing a life partner. This study aims to determine the influence of idol worship on partner selection preferences among early adult female K-Popers in West Sumatra. The study subjects were 120 people selected using a snowball sampling technique. The study used a quantitative method, with instruments in the form of an idol worship scale and a partner selection preference scale compiled by researchers based on the dimensions of idol worship by Cheung and Yue (2018) and aspects of partner selection preferences by Townsend and Roberts (1993). The results of a simple linear regression analysis indicate that, in general, idol worship has no significant effect on partner choice preferences (sig = 0.405 > 0.05). However, when examined by dimension, attachment (sig = 0.002 < 0.05) and idealization (sig = 0.001 < 0.05) significantly influence partner choice preferences. This finding indicates that emotional aspects and idealization of idols can shape the criteria or ideal image of a desired partner, although idol worship does not have a direct effect overall.

This study aims to determine the relationship between the number of incoming letters and outgoing letters in the form of Assignment Letters (SPT) and Official Travel Orders (SPPD).

The findings can be used as a basis for developing strategies to optimize employee productivity in similar organizational settings. 

Elderly individuals are at risk of developing hypertension due to physiological changes, decreased body function due to aging, and past lifestyle factors such as salt consumption and physical activity. Furthermore, non-modifiable factors such as age, gender, and genetics contribute to the development of hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at Bhayangkara Hospital Tk. II, Jayapura. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using a questionnaire. A total of 83 respondents were selected using simple accidental sampling. The data were statistically analyzed using chi-square analysis and multiple logistic regression. Based on the analysis results, it was found that factors that were not related to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at Bhayangkara Hospital Tk. II Jayapura, namely age (p-value 1.000 > α (0.05), gender (p-value 0.356 > α (0.05) and history of hypertension (p-value 0.451 > α (0.05). Factors related to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at Bhayangkara Hospital TK. II Jayapura are salt consumption patterns (p-value 0.020 < α (0.05), physical activity (p-value 0.001 < α (0.05) and nutritional status (p-value 0.042 < α (0.05). The most dominant variable influencing the incidence of hypertension in the elderly is physical activity (p value = 0.001 < α 0.05; OR = 4.196; CI 95% 1.258-13.996) and salt consumption patterns (p value = 0.020 < α 0.05; OR = 6.111; 95% CI 2.015-18.535). Physical activity and salt consumption patterns have a significant influence on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly.

The Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) play a strategic role in enhancing the village economy by utilizing the potential within the village. One of the main challenges faced by BUMDes is the issue of capital, which affects the ability of businesses to grow and achieve their shared goals. This study aims to analyze the effect of emotional bias on investment decisions with reward-based investment balance as a mediating variable. This study used a sample of 108 BUMDes scattered across six regions in Central Java. The sampling method employed was a combination of purposive sampling and cluster sampling, where the selected BUMDes represent specific regions and involve investors from the community or community groups. Data were collected from BUMDes in six regions (administrative areas) in Central Java. The analysis tools used in this study include simple regression, multiple regression, and the Sobel test for mediation, supported by normality tests, classical deviation tests, and coefficient of determination. The results showed that emotional bias significantly affected the investment decisions of the community (t = 3.034; sig = 0.000) and also influenced the reward-based investment balance (t = 4.256; sig = 0.000). Additionally, the reward-based investment balance variable was proven to have a direct impact on investment decisions (t = 3.190; sig = 0.000). This study also found that the reward-based investment balance variable partially mediates the effect of emotional bias on investment decisions, meaning that this effect can still be mediated by other variables. The Sobel test indicated a significant result (t = 3.104; sig = 0.000), showing that the effect of emotional bias on investment decisions can be mediated through reward-based investment balance.

Malaria is a global health problem, particularly in tropical countries like Indonesia. Papua has 374 endemic districts/cities, with the highest number of malaria cases, with 14,586 cases, and Jayapura Regency in 2024 with 50,529 patients and 6,213 relapses. The high number of cases is due to the geographical conditions that favor mosquito breeding and the dormant state in the body. If treatment is not carried out correctly and thoroughly, it can lead to malaria relapse. The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with relapse in malaria patients in the Harapan Community Health Center (Puskesmas) area, Jayapura Regency. This research was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. A total of 88 respondents were recruited using simple accidental sampling. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using chi-square and binary logistic regression. Based on the analysis, it was found that factors that were not related to recurrence in malaria patients in the Harapan Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency were age (p-value 1.000 > α 0.05), gender (p-value 0.855 > α 0.05), and education (p-value 0.124 > α 0.05). Factors related to recurrence in malaria patients in the Harapan Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency were occupation (p-value 0.032 or p < α 0.05), nutritional status (p-value 0.000 < α 0.05), and medication adherence (p-value 0.000 < α 0.05). Medication adherence was the dominant factor in recurrence in malaria patients at the Harapan Community Health Center (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). Malaria patients who do not comply with taking their medication cause the malaria parasite to become dormant in the body which can at any time cause malaria relapses and resistance to malaria drugs.
