In recent years, the Iran–United States conflict has not only unfolded within the geopolitical arena but has also been intensively constructed through international media framing that shapes how global audiences understand this reality. In the context of the digital information overflow, media no longer function merely as conveyors of facts; rather, they act as agents that construct meaning, evoke emotions, and shape the social perceptions of audiences. This study aims to analyze how international media framing constructs representations of the Iran–United States conflict and how audiences interpret such discourse within their social experiences. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) design. Data were collected through document analysis of 25 news articles from both Western and non-Western media, as well as exploratory interviews with nine participants from academic backgrounds. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach based on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model. The findings reveal three main patterns: the construction of threat through media language, moral polarization that produces a dichotomy of “us versus them,” and the negotiation of meaning by audiences, which is reflective and not always linear. These findings indicate that audiences are not entirely passive; rather, they actively interpret and, at times, question media framing. Theoretically, this study extends Critical Discourse Analysis by incorporating the dimension of audience experience into the discursive process. Practically, it underscores the importance of critical media literacy in navigating the complexity of global information and opens avenues for further exploration of the relationship between discourse, power, and social experience.

This community service activity aims to improve the competency of Regional Apparatus Work Unit (SKPD) personnel in preparing monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with Government Accounting Standards (SAP). This activity uses a participatory approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 95 participants consisting of Financial Administration Officers and expenditure treasurers from various SKPDs in the Semarang City Government. The evaluation indicators included participant participation, improvement of understanding, identification of reporting problems, and formulation of follow-up actions. The finding, based on the results of the post-test, an average of 80% of participants showed improvement, particularly in account classification, transaction recording, and periodic report preparation. The FGD identified four major issues: limited mastery of financial information systems, data input errors, insufficient competent human resources, and weak inter-unit coordination causing delays in report submission. As post-FGD outcomes, participants agreed on the need for continuous technical training, standardized operating procedures, optimization of information system integration, and the establishment of a reporting coordination forum. These results provide evidence that FGD was effective not only in evaluating participants’ competencies but also in generating practical solutions to enhance transparent and accountable regional financial governance.

Counseling etymologically derives from the noun counsel, which originates from the Latin consilium, rooted in consilere, meaning “to consult,” or to seek the views and advice of others as guidance for consideration and decision-making. As a verb, to counsel or counseling refers to the act of providing advice, guidance, warnings, encouragement, and instruction aimed at fostering self-surrender in addressing problems and managing negative behaviors among students. Educational guidance and counseling aim to strengthen Christian students to live victoriously in the Lord Jesus Christ by bringing them to an understanding of the light of God’s Word and the acceptance of themselves as God’s grace. This Classroom Action Research was conducted to address and resolve the problems of Christian students based on the research formulation, particularly through the application of intellectual, moral, and social approaches as strategic steps to enhance educational counseling services. The study employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and field notes. Data analysis was carried out by categorizing findings to generate emerging themes. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with three teacher participants and two student participants. The findings revealed that several students required special attention due to tendencies toward delinquent behavior, while one case indicated a student’s involvement in narcotics. These findings demonstrate that student-related issues require special intervention efforts to improve their spiritual and mental well-being, leading them to a deeper knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The ultimate goal is the salvation of students’ souls and the glorification of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium is a sports complex covering an area of 6.4 hectares. This facility is located on Jalan Almamater, Padang Bulan, Medan Baru, Medan City, North Sumatra. Various sports activities are facilitated in this area, including volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, taekwondo, rock climbing, archery, and soccer, all of which are integral parts of the facilities and infrastructure available at the Mini Stadium. In addition to the main stadium, the University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium complex is equipped with various supporting buildings and fields. These facilities serve as a means for developing and channeling students’ interests and athletic talents, as well as a public space that can be utilized by the people of Medan City for sports activities. However, functionally, the University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium complex is considered suboptimal in effectively accommodating and supporting sports activities. The non-compliance of installations with applicable standards, as well as the condition of a number of facilities that no longer meet suitability criteria and tend to be neglected particularly the soccer field and its supporting facilities are the main problems at the University of North Sumatra Mini Stadium complex. Therefore, the redesign of the University of North Sumatra’s mini stadium, using a structural architecture approach as an aesthetic element, is expected to result in a building that is not only structurally sound but also aesthetically pleasing.

Biology learning in Indonesia is still predominantly teacher-centered, limiting students’ opportunities to actively develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and other 21st-century competencies. Students often receive information passively, resulting in low engagement and limited ability to apply concepts in real-life contexts. Therefore, innovative learning models are needed to support more meaningful and student-centered learning. This study aims to review the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in Biology education and analyze its contribution to the development of students’ 21st-century skills. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing 20 research articles published between 2022 and 2026. Articles were obtained through Google Scholar searches and selected based on relevance to Biology education, focus on PjBL implementation, and open-access availability. Data collection involved identification, screening, selection, and documentation of related studies, while data analysis used a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings indicate that PjBL effectively improves students’ cognitive achievement, conceptual understanding, scientific literacy, creativity, and critical thinking skills. In addition, PjBL enhances collaboration, communication, problem-solving abilities, learning motivation, and life skills through contextual and authentic project activities. Students become more actively involved in investigating real-world problems, designing solutions, and producing meaningful learning outputs. Furthermore, the integration of STEM approaches, digital media, blended learning, and Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) strengthens the effectiveness of PjBL in Biology learning. Overall, PjBL is highly relevant for supporting the Merdeka Curriculum and improving the quality of Biology education in developing 21st-century competencies.

This study discusses the dialogue between Christian faith and Karl Marx’s atheism as well as its relevance to the lives of contemporary Christians. The rise of atheism in modern society is closely related to secularization, scientific progress, social inequality, and criticism of religious institutions that are considered unable to answer humanitarian problems. Karl Marx viewed religion as an ideological instrument that often legitimized oppression and alienated humans from their true existence. Through his famous statement that “religion is the opium of the people,” Marx criticized forms of religiosity that merely comfort human suffering without striving for social liberation. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach by examining various philosophical, theological, and social sources related to Marx’s atheism and the Catholic Church’s teachings. The findings reveal that Marx’s criticism of religion should not merely be understood as a rejection of God, but also as a moral challenge for the Church to continuously renew itself in carrying out its mission amid social realities. In response, the Catholic Church, especially through the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, views atheism not only as a doctrinal challenge but also as an opportunity for dialogue and self-reflection. The study concludes that authentic Christian faith is not an escape from worldly realities but a spiritual force that encourages believers to uphold justice, solidarity, and human dignity. Therefore, Marx’s criticism can become a reflective instrument for Christians to embody a more contextual, humanistic, and socially engaged faith in the modern world.

This study aims to analyze the legal protection of women's inheritance rights from the perspective of Indonesian civil law. The problems studied focused on the position of women as heirs and the extent to which the legal system provides guarantees of justice and equality. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative and conceptual approach. Data was obtained through a literature study of legal regulations, doctrines, and court decisions relevant to inheritance issues. The results of the study show that normatively, civil law provides equal recognition of women's inheritance rights, especially in the Civil Code. However, in practice, there are still obstacles influenced by patriarchal culture and customary law that tend to place women in subordinate positions. This condition causes women to often experience difficulties in claiming or obtaining the proper share of inheritance. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, harmonize national laws with the value of gender equality, and increase public legal awareness to ensure effective and fair protection for women in obtaining their inheritance rights.

Environmental damage caused by human activities has become an increasingly pressing global issue. Poetry as a literary work has the power to represent ecological problems symbolically and critically. This study aims to describe the representation of the impact of the environmental crisis in Taufiq Ismail's poems, namely "Menengajah Ke Atas, Merenungi Ozone yang Tak terlihat" and "Membaca Tanda-Tanda." The analysis is based on Greg Garrard's ecocritical study. This study uses a qualitative method with content analysis techniques. There are two stages of analysis, namely the literal and symbolic meaning of the poems, then an ecocritical interpretation is carried out based on Garrard's categories which include pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and earth. The results of the study indicate that both poems represent the impact of the environmental crisis through health problems due to pollution and radiation, damage to water and forest ecosystems, climate change, threats to human living space, and the decline in biodiversity. The research findings also show that the most dominant categories are pollution and apocalypse, which confirms that the environmental crisis in Taufiq Ismail's poems is the result of human behavior that ignores nature. Thus, Taufiq Ismail's poems not only function as aesthetic works, but also as cultural criticism and moral warnings for humanity.

Academic stress is one of the common problems students face due to various learning demands, such as piling up assignments, pressure to achieve, and difficulty managing study time. This study aims to describe the concept of handling academic stress in students at SMA Negeri 1 Panyabungan through Islamic guidance and counseling. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with teachers involved in guidance and counseling services at the school. The results of the study show that academic stress in students is marked by decreased concentration in studying, frequent lateness, not completing assignments, and a lack of motivation to study. The dominant contributing factors are lack of rest, academic pressure, and suboptimal self-management skills. Handling this is done through giving Islamic advice, study motivation, religious coaching, as well as guidance from both guidance counselors and teachers. The handling is done through giving Islamic advice, study motivation, religious guidance, and support from school counselors and religious teachers. The Islamic guidance and counseling approach is considered able to help students gain peace, increase study motivation, and form more positive behaviors in facing academic demands.

This study aims to evaluate the application of environmental management accounting in the management of work programs at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. The research is motivated by increasing environmental problems, particularly waste volume and limited management facilities, while environmental management accounting has the potential to assist agencies in identifying, measuring, and reporting environmental costs as a basis for decision-making and public accountability. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that the Environmental Agency has implemented environmental management accounting, but its recording is still manual and does not separate environmental costs from general operational costs. This condition complicates cost evaluation and program impact assessment. Work program management has been structured and evaluated regularly, but performance measurement still focuses on output, not long-term environmental impact. Information transparency is also still limited to activity publications. Overall, the application of environmental accounting is at a basic stage and has not been fully integrated into the work program planning and evaluation process. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical implications in the form of strengthening understanding of the role of environmental management accounting and the need to improve the work program recording and evaluation system at the Bangkalan Regency Environmental Agency.

Industrial dust exposure is a hazardous work environment that can potentially cause respiratory problems in workers, particularly in industrial sectors with production activities that generate high levels of dust particles. This study aims to examine the relationship between industrial dust exposure and respiratory problems in workers through a systematic review. The method used was a qualitative descriptive literature study of scientific articles from 2021-2026 obtained through Google Scholar based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, then systematically analyzed. The results of the study indicate that most studies found a significant relationship between dust exposure and respiratory problems, especially in work environments with dust levels exceeding the threshold limit (TLV). Common symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, phlegm production, and decreased lung function. In addition to dust levels, other factors such as duration of exposure, length of service, smoking habits, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) also play a role in increasing the risk. However, several studies showed insignificant results, which are suspected to be influenced by the use of proper PPE and an effective work environment control system. These findings confirm that dust exposure is a significant, multifactorial risk factor, necessitating comprehensive control efforts through a hierarchy of controls, environmental monitoring, and regular health checks to prevent long-term impacts on worker health.

The Village Fund Policy is a state instrument in realizing village-based national development as mandated by Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. The Village Fund was designed as a form of state affirmation for villages that have experienced development inequality for years. However, in practice, the policy of cutting or reducing the allocation of the Village Fund resulting from changes in national fiscal policy, budget refocusing, and state economic pressures has created serious problems for the direction of the legal politics of village development. This study aims to analyze the legal politics of cutting the Village Fund and its implications for the principle of social justice as contained in the fifth principle of Pancasila and Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a philosophical approach. The sources of legal materials consist of primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations, secondary legal materials in the form of books, journals, and scientific articles, and tertiary legal materials in the form of legal dictionaries and encyclopedias. The results of the study indicate that the cutting of the Village Fund in legal politics indicates a shift in the state's orientation from the welfare state concept to a more centralized and pragmatic fiscal approach. This policy has hampered village development, increased social inequality, weakened village community empowerment, and potentially violated the principle of distributive justice. Therefore, fiscal policy regarding Village Funds should maintain villages as the primary subjects of national development by strengthening the principles of fiscal decentralization and social justice. Keywords: Legal Politics, Village Funds, Social Justice, Welfare State, Fiscal Decentralization..

The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is still a public health challenge because it has a direct impact on infant health. Factors that cause low coverage of breastfeeding include problems in the breastfeeding process, economic conditions, environmental support, and socio-cultural aspects. Milk production is influenced by the hormone prolactin, while milk production is influenced by the hormone oxytocin. One of the interventions that has been proven to help with breast milk production is oxytocin massage. Based on this, this community service activity was carried out as an effort to increase breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. The method of the activity is in the form of health counseling to pregnant women in the third trimester with educational media in the form of presentation materials. The activity was complemented by discussions, questions and answers, and demonstrations of the right oxytocin massage techniques to strengthen participants' understanding. The implementation of the activity went well and received enthusiasm from the participants. The results of the activity showed an increase in pregnant women's knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and skills in performing oxytocin massage. Thus, this activity is expected to support the increase in exclusive breastfeeding coverage through the empowerment of pregnant and lactating women, as well as a promotive-preventive strategy in maintaining the health of babies in a sustainable manner.

Religious culture that is still quite strong in the community is an important capital in the implementation of youth development programs. However, the influence of social media, promiscuity, and the lack of religious activities that are attractive to the younger generation have led to a decrease in adolescents' interest in religious activities in mosques. Therefore, this research aims to form the character of discipline, responsibility, and cooperation in the group through Islamic hadrah art activities. This study uses the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method, which is a community empowerment approach that focuses on the strengths and potentials possessed by the community, not on existing shortcomings or problems. In this approach, the community is invited to identify various assets they have, such as human resources, local institutions, cultural values, and social networks that can be used to overcome the problems they face. The results of the study showed that the adolescent participants experienced improved skills in playing hadrah and understanding of religious values. In addition, there has been a change in behavior towards being more disciplined, active, and caring for religious activities in the mosque environment.

Bullying and child harassment in the school environment are serious problems that can negatively affect students’ mental health, self-confidence, and academic achievement. Therefore, preventive efforts are needed through educational activities to increase students’ knowledge and awareness about the dangers of Bullying and child harassment. This activity aims to improve students’ understanding of Bullying and child harassment prevention through the Community Service Program (KKN) at SMAN 1 Koto Kampar Hulu. The method used was a descriptive quantitative approach with a one group pre-test post-test design involving 54 students as participants. The instrument used was a questionnaire administered before and after the educational session. The educational materials included the definition, types, impacts, and prevention efforts related to Bullying and child harassment in the school environment. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of preventing Bullying and child harassment in schools. Therefore, educational programs conducted through the KKN activity can be one of the efforts to create a safe and Bullying-free school environment.

This study is motivated by the importance of psychological readiness of students in the Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Universitas Jambi in facing various academic and non-academic demands. Problems commonly experienced by students include decreased motivation, feelings of hopelessness, and the risk of dropping out due to the inability to cope with academic pressures. Grit is a combination of perseverance and consistency of interest in achieving long-term goals. Meanwhile, resilience is the ability of individuals to bounce back from difficulties and adapt positively to pressure. This study is limited to two main variables, namely grit and resilience among active students of the Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Universitas Jambi. The indicators of grit include consistency of interest and perseverance of effort. The indicators of resilience include emotional regulation, impulse control, optimism, causal analysis, empathy, self-efficacy, and reaching out. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of grit, the level of resilience, and the relationship between grit and resilience among active students of the Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Universitas Jambi. This study uses a quantitative correlational research design. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling with a total sample of 211 respondents. The instrument used in this study is a Likert scale.The results show that the level of grit is in the high category with a percentage of 76%. The level of resilience is also in the high category with a percentage of 76%. The results of hypothesis testing using Spearman’s Rho correlation technique show a correlation coefficient value of r = 0.439 with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. This indicates a significant positive relationship between grit and resilience, which falls into the moderate correlation category
