Postpartum depression is a postpartum mental health disorder that significantly impacts maternal well-being, infant development, and family functioning. The high prevalence of postpartum depression in Indonesia is due to limited access to health services, low mental health literacy, and social stigma in the community. This indicates a significant gap between the need for maternal mental health services and the availability of existing interventions, making education a crucial component in efforts to prevent postpartum depression early. This study aims to analyze the prevention of postpartum depression in postpartum mothers through telenursing-based education and screening using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in the community. A descriptive case study design was used, involving one respondent, a 25-year-old primigravida mother residing in the Bantul area. The intervention was implemented online via WhatsApp and video calls, including structured health education on postpartum psychological changes, adaptive coping strategies, and the importance of social support. The intervention also included daily remote monitoring of the respondent's condition via the WhatsApp mobile application. The EPDS was administered as a pre-test and post-test to evaluate changes in the respondent's psychological condition. The findings showed a significant decrease in the EPDS score from 16 (moderate depression) to 6 (minimal depression), indicating significant psychological improvement. These results imply that integrating EPDS screening, structured health education, and daily monitoring is an effective and accessible community-based approach to preventing postpartum depression, particularly for mothers with limited mobility and access to health services.

This study aims to determine the effect of tax planning and capital structure on firm value, with firm size as a moderator. The population in this study is all non-cyclical consumer companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2024 period. The type of research used in this study is quantitative associative with secondary data. The research sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique. Based on this technique, 24 companies were obtained that met certain criteria. The panel data regression technique used in this study is the Random Effect Model. Testing of panel data regression and moderation regression uses the E=views 13 application. The results of this study indicate that tax planning partially has no effect on firm value, while capital structure does affect firm value. The results simultaneously show that tax planning and capital structure affect firm value. The results of this study also indicate that firm size weakens the relationship between tax planning and firm value, and firm size is also unable to moderate or weaken the relationship between capital structure and firm value.

Education is a fundamental element in an individual's life that aims to optimize human potential across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. This research is motivated by the importance of students' ability to manage their study time effectively to support optimal learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to describe and compare students' study time management based on gender. This study used a descriptive comparative method, with a sample of several eighth-grade students at Islamic Boarding School X. Data were collected using a Likert scale instrument, then analyzed using descriptive techniques and an independent-samples t-test using the (Jeffreys’s Amazing Statistics Program) JASP application. The results indicate that several students are able to manage their study time well. Furthermore, no significant differences were found between male and female students in managing their study time. These findings indicate that the ability to manage study time is relatively even and is not influenced by gender.

Intellectual property rights (IPR) are an important legal tool for trademark ownership, protecting business quality, and protecting a company's economic interests. Consumers build trust in trademarks because they signal distinct product quality and reflect a positive and consistent corporate image. Trademark protection is regulated by national law under Trademark Law No. 20 of 2016, which provides legal certainty for trademark owners. This law stipulates that a trademark is only valid if it has distinctive elements, is not imitative, and has been officially registered with an authorized institution. The "first come, first served" principle in Indonesian trademark law can be interpreted as a mechanism that grants rights to the first party to file a valid application. However, the application of this principle in practice often raises complex legal issues, particularly when a trademark has already gained widespread public recognition prior to its formal registration. This study focuses on evaluating this legal protection through a normative legal research method by examining applicable laws, regulations, and court decisions related to trademark disputes in Indonesia. The Geprek Bensu dispute has attracted public attention because it highlights the conflict between legal provisions regarding trademark ownership and public perception. This case demonstrates that the existing legal framework still requires further refinement to balance the interests of trademark registrants with those of parties who have built public reputation through prior commercial use. Therefore, legal reform and consistent law enforcement are essential to ensure fair and comprehensive trademark protection in Indonesia.

This study aims to test the influence of digital literacy and the use of accounting applications on the effectiveness of MSME information systems with user competence as a mediating variable. The research sample amounted to 100 MSME actors in Gresik City who were selected using purposive sampling techniques according to the research criteria. Data testing was carried out using a quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method through the SmartPLS application. The results of the study show that digital literacy and the use of accounting applications have a positive effect on the effectiveness of MSME information systems. Meanwhile, user competence does not have a significant effect and is unable to mediate the influence of digital literacy and the use of accounting applications on the effectiveness of information systems. This research is expected to provide benefits for MSME actors in increasing the use of digital technology and accounting applications, as well as become an academic reference for future research. The limitations of this study lie in the scope of the MSME scale, which has not considered external factors, and the research model that has not fully explained the role of user competence as a mediating variable.

This study analyzes the Public Relations communication strategy of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Daerah Operasi 8 Surabaya in socializing the Access by KAI digital application to the Surabaya community. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with PR staff and Railfans Surabaya community members, participatory observation of socialization activities, and documentation of digital publications. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The findings reveal that PR communication strategies are implemented through a synergy of push communication, pull communication, and pass communication, supported by Two-Way Symmetrical Communication principles developed by Grunig and Hunt (1984). Push communication disseminates official information via social media platforms; pull communication attracts audiences through visually compelling and educational content; while pass communication emphasizes two-way engagement that builds public trust and loyalty. The study demonstrates that public engagement, interactive dialogue, and message adaptation to local audience characteristics positively contribute to increasing public understanding and acceptance of the Access by KAI application. The integration of these three strategies creates a holistic communication ecosystem that effectively bridges the gap between digital innovation and user behavior. Future research is recommended to examine similar strategies in other operational regions or employ quantitative approaches to measure adoption levels.

The development of information technology encourages government agencies to switch from manual systems to digital systems that are more efficient and accurate. One important aspect of office administration is recording the absence of village officials, which is often done conventionally so it is prone to errors, data manipulation, and takes longer in the recapitulation process. Based on these problems, this research designs and implements a Qr-Code based attendance system at the Palatta Village Government Office. The design of this system is to provide a faster, more accurate and transparent attendance solution by utilizing Qr-Code technology which is integrated into a web-based application. The system is built with main features such as user login, Qr-Code scanning, attendance history, as well as an admin dashboard to manage data and generate reports. The results of implementation and testing using the Black Box method show that all functions run as required. Testing on users also shows that the system is easy to use, speeds up the attendance process, and helps admins in monitoring and recapitulating data. Thus, this Qr-Code attendance system is suitable to be implemented as a substitute for manual methods to increase work efficiency and discipline in the village office environment.

Male masculinity is a common theme in advertising. These potrayals often depict men as hardworking, resilient, and physically strong, thereby shaping an ideal male identity. This study uses Sara Mills’ critical discourse analysis perspective to examine the representation of the 2023 Extra Joss advertisement “Laki Buktikan!”. A qualitative descriptive approach is used, with data in the form of visuals, verbal narratives, and slogans that appear in advertising videos accessed via the TikTok application. The analysis will focus on the subjects and objects in the advertisement, the representation of masculinity, the position of the audience, the narrative structure, and the surrounding social context and gender ideology. The result of study show that the advertisement represents masculinity as an identity that must be continuously proven through strength, physical toughness, endurance, and a never-give-up attitude. Failure, defeat, and adversity are not condition that must be passively accepted, but rather condition demanding an active response from men to take concrete action. The advertisement not only promotes product, but also reproduces the ideology oh hegemonic masculinity by linking male self-proving to consuming Extra Joss energy drinks.

This research aims to examine the provisions and status of probation as a principal punishment in the National Criminal Code, as well as its relevance to achieving the objectives of reforming the penal system in Indonesia. The research design employed is normative legal research using a legislative and conceptual approach. The data utilized consists of secondary data obtained through a literature review, analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of the research show that probation under Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code has been established as one of the principal penalties that can be directly imposed by a judge, thus no longer merely a component of conditional sentences as in the old Criminal Code. This regulation reflects a paradigm shift in sentencing from a retributive approach toward a rehabilitative and restorative approach by providing offenders with the opportunity to remain within the community under supervision. However, its implementation still faces challenges, including the absence of comprehensive technical regulations, potential conflicts of norms, and institutional limitations in carrying out supervision. Therefore, supervised probation holds significant relevance as a more humane sentencing alternative, although it requires strengthened regulations and a supervision system to ensure its effective and consistent application.

The implementation of public communication ethics codes in governmental policies encounters complex challenges in achieving optimal transparency, accountability, and responsiveness standards. This qualitative research employs library research methodology to analyze the effectiveness of public communication ethics code implementation mechanisms through normative examination of official government communication practices. Systematic content analysis of regulations, policies, and communication practice documentation reveals significant disparities between normative idealities and operational realities in field implementation. Findings indicate structural, cultural, and technological factors serve as primary determinants of implementation success. The digital era and post-truth phenomena present additional complexities in managing ethical public communication. Technological adaptation inadequacies, institutional coordination fragmentation, and organizational commitment variations influence the consistency of communication ethics standard application. A comprehensive evaluation model integrating input-process-output-outcome dimensions is essential for measuring implementation effectiveness. Recommendations encompass institutional capacity strengthening, adaptive regulatory framework reformulation, and development of communicative accountability systems responsive to contemporary dynamics. This research contributes to developing theoretical frameworks for public communication ethics code implementation within Indonesian governmental governance contexts.

Stock monitoring is a critical phase that must be performed regularly to maintain the accuracy and efficiency of inventory management. Continuous monitoring ensures that all items remain under proper oversight, thereby making stock management processes simpler, more controlled, and highly accurate. PT XYZ operates in the general contracting sector and provides a range of services, including land transportation, crude oil rental, heavy equipment and light vehicle rental, material supply, and well maintenance services. At present, stock monitoring at PT XYZ still relies on a general-purpose application designed solely for numerical calculations. This approach leads to several limitations in the current system, most notably the lack of a login feature and the requirement to recreate reports using a separate application. Based on these problems, this research aims to design a prototype of a stock monitoring information system at PT XYZ. The system is developed using the waterfall development model and documented using use case diagrams. The main output of this study is a prototype information system that allows users to change their own password, perform CRUD operations on data entities including users, items, categories, brands, units, vehicles, suppliers, incoming goods, and outgoing goods, generate various reports related to inventory/stock at PT XYZ.

Savings and Loan Cooperatives (KSP) play a vital role in expanding community access to capital, especially within the informal sector. Nevertheless, non-performing loans remain a persistent challenge that can threaten liquidity and long-term institutional sustainability. KSP CU Mera Ndi Ate faces similar issues, which are assumed to stem not only from administrative weaknesses but also from members’ perceptions and behavioral factors. This research aims to examine the potential causes of non-performing loans through text-based sentiment analysis using an unsupervised learning approach. A quantitative method with a data mining framework was applied. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, documentation, and 200 customer opinion texts processed using the Orange Data Mining application. The analytical stages included preprocessing, corpus development, feature extraction, sentiment clustering, and visualization. Because the dataset lacked predefined labels, unsupervised learning was used to identify naturally emerging sentiment patterns. Findings reveal a predominance of critical sentiments related to credit assessment procedures and service quality. The highest sentiment score (75) concerned insufficient creditworthiness evaluation, followed by concerns about service efficiency (66.6667). These insights suggest that improving assessment accuracy and service quality may help reduce non-performing loans.

Natural Science (IPA) learning in elementary schools requires the use of learning media that is able to increase students' interest in learning, learning outcomes, and critical thinking skills.
