Prayer (shalat) is the central act of worship in Islam and holds a fundamental role in nurturing the spiritual life of Muslims. However, in practice, challenges often arise within society, particularly regarding the accuracy of recitations, movements, and the cohesiveness of congregational prayer. Thus, the urgency of understanding correct fiqh shalat remains crucial to ensure the quality of worship and strengthen ukhuwah islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood). In response to this need, students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, through the National Community Service Program (KKN) in Surabaya, organized a community engagement activity under the theme of Kemuhammadiyahan, namely a congregational prayer competition involving members of ‘Aisyiyah. The aim of this activity was to internalize Muhammadiyah values, enhance the understanding of fiqh shalat according to Islamic teachings, and foster a spirit of togetherness through an educational and participatory approach. The competition was assessed based on prayer movements, recitations, and group cohesiveness. The results revealed active participation and high enthusiasm from the participants, who not only competed but also learned to improve the quality of their worship. This activity successfully created a positive religious atmosphere, strengthened bonds among community members, and affirmed the role of KKN as a medium of community service that integrates religious education, Islamic propagation (dakwah), and spiritual development rooted in progressive Islamic values.

Hypertension is a growing health problem, especially among the elderly and low-educated communities. Hypertension continues to emerge as a critical public health challenge, with increasing incidence and uneven impact, particularly affecting the elderly population and low-educated communities. In response to this situation, a community-based study was conducted in Plumpung Hamlet, Galengdowo Village, with the main objective of increasing residents' knowledge and awareness of primary prevention strategies and self-management of hypertension. The intervention method applied was multimodal, including interactive health lectures, distribution of leaflets designed with easy-to-understand language and clear visuals, and provision of free blood pressure checks that served as a screening tool and immediate awareness. This research design used a participatory approach with pre-test and post-test instruments to measure quantitative changes in participants' understanding, accompanied by blood pressure monitoring activities to evaluate the impact of education on physical health indicators. The evaluation results showed the program's significant success, marked by a 57.69% increase in comprehension scores between the pre-test and post-test sessions, while also showing an improvement trend in the blood pressure values of most participants after completing the entire education series. These findings clearly affirm the fundamental role of sustainable and accessible health education as an effective community-based intervention to mitigate hypertension risk factors and ultimately improve holistic quality of life. The implications of this study highlight the urgency of implementing regular, structured, and targeted education programs, especially those targeting the most vulnerable demographic groups, as a long-term health investment to prevent morbidity and complications from hypertension.  

value of the bankruptcy estate (boedel pailit) through the going concern principle. Law No. 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (UUK-PKPU) allows curators to continue the debtor’s business, particularly under Article 179 paragraph (1). However, the absence of clear normative parameters creates legal uncertainty and inconsistent practices. This study analyzes the application of the going concern principle in the settlement of bankruptcy estates following the annulment of homologated composition agreements and examines the urgency of technical implementing regulations. Using a normative juridical method supported by statutory analysis, court decisions, legal doctrines, and interviews, the research focuses on the cases of PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk. (Sritex) and PT Texmaco Perkasa Engineering Tbk. The findings reveal that going concern implementation depends not only on legal provisions but also on non-legal factors, such as transparency, asset control, capital availability, management credibility, and creditor support. Texmaco’s case shows approval when these conditions are met, while Sritex demonstrates rejection due to lack of transparency and unlawful activities. The study underscores the need for a Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) that establishes eligibility parameters, approval mechanisms, reporting obligations, and curator protection to ensure consistency, legal certainty, creditor protection, and greater economic benefits in Indonesian bankruptcy practice.

This study is based on the urgency of understanding assertive speech acts as part of pragmatic studies in speech acts in the movie Sweet 20 by Ody C. Harap. Sweet 20 was chosen because of its richness in dialogue and cross-generational representation, thus allowing in-depth analysis of speech acts. This research aims to identify, classify, and analyze the form and function of assertive speech acts used by the characters in the film. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a pragmatic approach. The data were obtained through listening and note-taking techniques on the characters' speech in the movie. Data analysis refers to Searle and Galassi's speech act theory, which emphasizes assertive speech acts. The results show various forms of assertive speech acts, such as stating, telling, suggesting, boasting, complaining, reporting, expressing positive emotions, self-affirmation, and expressing negative emotions, which are influenced by the social and cultural context in the movie. This research contributes to the development of pragmatics studies in linguistics, can be used as a reference in learning Indonesian, especially speaking skills, and provides further insight into the use of speech acts in audio-visual media.

This study aims to describe the lifestyle and potential participation of financial institution pension funds (DPLK) among young workers in Jakarta. The study respondents included 42 young workers with various occupational backgrounds and income levels. The results showed that 46% of young workers have a low-cost lifestyle, so they stated that preparing for retirement funds early is important. Furthermore, 46% of respondents have the ability to save in DPLK with monthly contributions between Rp100,000–Rp300,000, 28% can contribute more than Rp300,000, while 26% can only set aside less than Rp100,000 per month. This level of awareness shows variations in financial readiness influenced by several factors. First, a still dominant consumptive lifestyle causes some young workers to delay retirement planning. Second, low financial literacy regarding pension funds makes them less aware of the benefits and urgency of DPLK participation. Third, the perception that retirement is still far away encourages delays, thus reducing commitment to active participation. To increase young worker participation, several strategies can be adopted, including relevant and contextual pension fund education, providing digital platforms that facilitate access, implementing incentive systems to attract interest, and positioning Pension Funds (DPLK) as part of a modern lifestyle. Furthermore, innovative ultra-micro DPLK products can reach workers with limited financial resources. If these strategic steps are implemented consistently, young worker participation in DPLK has the potential to increase significantly. Thus, pension funds in Indonesia can enter a "dawn" era marked by early awareness, rather than being seen as a "twilight era" relevant only near retirement age.

The rapid development of information technology has encouraged government institutions to transform the way they manage data and deliver public services. The Protocol and Leadership Communication Division (Prokopim) of Situbondo Regency plays a strategic role in managing the schedules of regional leaders and documenting each official activity as a form of accountability. Currently, these processes are still managed manually, which causes obstacles in recording, searching, and reporting data. Such limitations reduce efficiency and transparency, indicating the urgency of a structured, accessible, and integrated web-based information system. This research aims to design a web-based system that integrates employee data, leadership agendas, and documentation records into a single platform. The research method combines field observations, interviews with Prokopim staff, and literature studies to analyze user requirements. The system design adopts the Waterfall model, which includes requirement analysis, database design, user interface design, and system modeling using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams such as use case, activity, and sequence diagrams. Database structures are represented through class diagrams, while user interface designs are developed using prototyping. The findings of this study produce a system blueprint that provides a structured framework for digitalizing agenda and documentation processes. The proposed design improves accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency in managing leadership activities. Furthermore, this system can be considered as a practical model for applying digital transformation in government institutions, supporting better accountability and service quality in the public sector.

Community participation in the formation of Village Regulations (Perdes) is an important indicator in realizing transparent, democratic, and responsive village governance to the needs of residents. However, in Teluk Kapuas Village, the level of community participation in the process is still relatively low. This is evident from the minimal involvement of residents and village officials in understanding the mechanisms and urgency of Perdes preparation. Based on these conditions, Community Service (PKM) activities were carried out with the aim of increasing the knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the community and village officials regarding the importance of active involvement in Perdes formation. The problems raised in this activity include: (1) the level of knowledge and understanding of village officials regarding the procedures for Perdes formation; and (2) factors that hinder the community from participating optimally. The methods used were lectures and interactive discussions involving village officials and community representatives. The results of the activities showed that the understanding of village officials and the community was still limited, so that participation in Perdes formation was not optimal. Through this PKM activity, it is hoped that there will be an increase in the understanding, awareness, and involvement of the Teluk Kapuas Village community in the Perdes formulation process so that it can produce village regulations that are more participatory and meet the needs of residents.

Basic literacy issues remain a global challenge, as evidenced by the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which place Indonesia at a low rank in reading proficiency. This condition highlights the urgency of literacy as a fundamental competency for elementary school students, particularly in Indonesia.
