D Dowry (mahar) is an obligation of a groom to his bride in Islamic marriage, symbolizing respect and responsibility. In the Buton community, mahar also develops as a customary tradition known as boka, which carries both symbolic and socio-cultural meanings. This study aims to analyze the concept of mahar according to the Shafi’i school of law and its implementation in Taduasa Village, South Buton Regency. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews, documentation, and literature review. The findings show that mahar is viewed as a symbol of respect for women and is determined based on lineage and social status. According to the Shafi’i school, such practices are permissible as long as they are based on mutual agreement and do not burden the groom. However, excessively high dowry amounts in some cases may hinder marriage. This study concludes that the mahar tradition in Taduasa Village remains consistent with Shafi’i principles but should be adjusted to the Islamic values of ease and public welfare.

This study aims to analyze Catholic marriage in the perspective of Martin Buber's dialogical philosophy, particularly the concept of “I-Thou,” as an integrative and applicable approach to building family life. Catholic marriage is understood as a sacrament that is monogamous and indissoluble, based on the Holy Scriptures, Church teachings, and the Code of Canon Law. However, various contemporary challenges such as communication crises, technological developments, and internal family conflicts demand a renewal of the way of understanding husband-wife relationships in a more dialogical and personal manner. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature approach, descriptive-analytical in nature, through content analysis and hermeneutics of relevant primary and secondary sources. The results of the study show that the integration of the “I-You” concept in Catholic marriage affirms the husband-wife relationship as an encounter between subjects who are equal, dialogical, and reciprocal. This model places marriage as a responsibility for unity, a practice of dialogue for the bonum coniugum, and a communion that reaches its peak in a relationship with God, so that sacramental teachings are concretely realized in the dynamics of family life.

This study examines the eco-eschatological dimensions embedded in the myths and traditions of pante among the Manggarai people of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The pante tradition is not merely understood as an economic activity involving the tapping and processing of palm sap, but also as a cultural practice that embodies ecological, spiritual, social, and ethical values. Through this tradition, the Manggarai people maintain a harmonious relationship with nature and recognize their responsibility toward the environment as part of a sacred cosmic order. This study employs a qualitative approach based on literature review and hermeneutical-theological analysis to explore the symbolic meanings and theological implications of the pante myth. The findings reveal that the pante myth reflects the Manggarai people’s cosmological worldview, in which nature is regarded as a living and sacred reality that must be respected and protected. Furthermore, the tradition promotes an ethic of sustainability that discourages excessive exploitation of natural resources and encourages balance between human needs and environmental preservation. From an eco-eschatological perspective, the pante tradition represents a vision of hope for the restoration of relationships among humans, nature, and God, anticipating the fulfillment of the “new heaven and new earth.” Therefore, this study affirms that Manggarai local wisdom provides a valuable contribution to the development of contextual, ecological, and sustainable theology in contemporary society.

The parameters observed included nutrient content of bokashi fertilizer, namely Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), pH, C/N ratio, organic carbon (C-organic), and water content. The results showed that treatment P2, consisting of 10 kg of oil palm empty fruit bunches and 15 kg of chicken manure, produced the best quality bokashi fertilizer.  

This study aims to analyze the existence of the Manggarai-Flores mother tongue amidst the tide of modernity using Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language. The mother tongue is understood not only as a tool for communication but also as a medium for shaping meaning, identity, and the sociocultural practices of a community. The research method employed is a qualitative approach using a literature review, examining various works related to the philosophy of language, mother tongues, and the Manggarai language. The findings indicate that the Manggarai language serves a complex function as a living system of meaning embedded in the daily practices of the community. From Wittgenstein’s perspective, the meaning of language is determined by its use within the context of everyday life (language games). This is evident in Manggarai cultural practices such as traditional rituals, oral literature, and daily communication, which are rich in social and cultural values. However, technological advancements and the dominance of national and global languages have led to a shift in the use of the mother tongue, particularly among the younger generation. Thus, the Manggarai language faces not only the threat of linguistic extinction but also the potential loss of cultural identity. Therefore, the preservation of mother tongues must be achieved through their integration into education, the strengthening of cultural literacy, and the revitalization of language use in the social life of the community.

This study aims to describe the use of Powtoon media in increasing student learning motivation in narrative text learning. The location of this research took place on grade X students of SMK Negeri 1 Bokat in the 2024/2025 Academic Year. Data were obtained through observation, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the use of Powtoon media can be applied as a means to significantly increase student learning motivation. Attractive visual displays, dynamic animations, and audio support make the learning process more interactive, fun, and easy to understand. Students appear more focused, active, and enthusiastic in participating in learning activities. Before the use of Powtoon, learning narrative text tended to be monotonous and less interesting. However, after the application of this media, students showed increased interest, involvement, and understanding of the material. Thus, the use of Powtoon can be an alternative learning media that is effective in increasing student learning motivation in learning narrative text.

The Tungku Bokong ritual is a traditional practice of the Manggarai people found in Reok and West Reok Districts, Manggarai Regency. This study aims to analyze the soteriological concept within the ritual, focusing specifically on its implementation in West Reok District. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with customary leaders and a review of relevant literature. The findings reveal that Tungku Bokong literally means “reconnecting the provision (blessing),” referring to an effort to restore the flow of blessings believed to have been disrupted an interruption that is thought to cause life problems such as illness, misfortune, or nightmares. The uniqueness of this ritual lies in its understanding that suffering and life difficulties can become a gateway to blessings or restoration. The central questions guiding this research are how the Tungku Bokong ritual is regarded as an act of attaining salvation for an individual, and what meaning it holds for the people of West Reok District. The study shows that the salvation gained through this ritual is not only material but also involves the restoration of relationships with ancestors and the Creator (Mori Kraeng). Meanwhile, suffering and various life challenges are understood as consequences of a disrupted blessing and as a means of awakening individuals to return to a balanced life.

Background: Early marriage remains prevalent among adolescents aged 15–19 years, a period during which individuals are often medically and psychologically unprepared to assume marital responsibilities. Decisions to marry early are influenced by internal factors such as psychological readiness, emotional maturity, and critical thinking ability, as well as external factors including family pressure, cultural norms, and economic challenges. Objective: This study aims to explore the factors influencing adolescents' decisions to engage in early marriage and examine its impacts on their lives. Method: This research employed a qualitative descriptive design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 10 adolescents who had experienced early marriage. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document review, and analyzed thematically.

Breech presentation is a condition in which the fetus is in an elongated position with the head at the uterine fundus and the buttocks in the lower part of the uterine cavity. This condition can increase the risk of labor complications, especially if accompanied by serotinus (post-term pregnancy). Based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2021), the maternal mortality rate caused by breech presentation and serotinus in Indonesia was recorded at 1,309 cases. In Central Java, the incidence of breech presentation reached 11.5% (Central Java Health Office, 2021). This study aims to determine the implementation of comprehensive midwifery care for Mrs. D, aged 24 years, with breech presentation and serotinus at Mrs. S's PMB in the Kaliwadas Community Health Center area in 2023. The research method used a qualitative descriptive design with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, physical examinations, documentation studies, and medical record searches. The results of midwifery care showed that during pregnancy, Mrs. D had a good quality of life. Mrs. D underwent three antenatal care (ANC) visits, during which signs of pregnancy complications suggestive of serotinus were detected. Delivery was performed via cesarean section due to serotinus and breech presentation. During the neonatal period, three visits were conducted, with the baby's examination results within normal limits. During the postpartum period, four visits were conducted, during which the mother's condition was generally good, but at the third postpartum visit, problems with breastfeeding were discovered. Mrs. D was also known not to be using postpartum contraception. The results of this study emphasize the importance of early detection and appropriate management of breech presentation and serotinus pregnancies to prevent complications that endanger the mother and baby. Comprehensive midwifery care covering pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and newborn care is an integral effort to ensure the safety of mothers and babies.  

Environmental character education from an early age is a strategic step in developing a generation that cares about the natural world. Instilling this value is crucial in concrete ways so that children can understand and directly experience the benefits of protecting the environment. One effort undertaken is through a simple hydroponic learning activity involving children from TKS Kartika V 16. The activity was held once at the Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic with the support of lecturers as resource persons. Through a hands-on learning method, the children were introduced to how to grow lettuce and bok choy using a simple hydroponic system. The learning process included an introduction to tools and materials, an explanation of the planting stages, and plant care. Observations throughout the activity showed high enthusiasm among the children. They were actively involved, from preparing the planting medium, planting the seeds, to providing air and nutrients to the plants. This activity fostered a sense of care and responsibility for the plants they grew themselves. Furthermore, the children's fine motor skills were also demonstrated through activities such as arranging the planting medium, sowing the seeds, and assembling the hydroponic equipment. This activity not only developed individual skills but also taught social values such as cooperation and mutual assistance. Children learn to work in groups, help each other, and appreciate each other's roles in the planting process. This hands-on, hands-on approach has proven effective in strengthening environmental awareness in a fun and contextual way. Therefore, environmental education through hydroponics can be a practical, inspiring, and easy-to-implement learning medium for young children, while also serving as a concrete example of how character education can go hand-in-hand with the introduction of environmentally friendly technologies.

Mental health is an important indicator of the overall public health status. Mental health surveillance through screening serves as a strategy for early detection of mental disorders and continuous case monitoring. In Indonesia, approximately 630,827 individuals or about 2.0% of the population aged >15 years are reported to have mental health problems based on provincial data. This study was conducted at Cilembang Public Health Center, Tasikmalaya City, using a mixed-method approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative sample was selected using total sampling, involving 35 new cases of people with mental disorders (ODGJ) recorded in 2024. Meanwhile, qualitative subjects were selected through purposive sampling, involving surveillance officers engaged in the mental health program. The qualitative findings cover the input, process, and output components of the surveillance implementation. Results show that the mental health surveillance program at Cilembang PHC is supported by various health personnel, funding from the BOK program, and the SIMKESWA digital system integrated with the Ministry of Health. Active surveillance is carried out through community and school screenings using the SDQ and SRQ-20 instruments, followed by diagnosis, counseling, and initial management. The program exceeded the target for identifying severe ODGJ cases. However, screening among individuals aged ≥15 years has not been optimally implemented due to competing program priorities.

This analysis aims to draw attention to the necessity of improving military-civilian interactions in order to promote peace in Borno State. The information used in the paper was taken from literary works of literature. The results demonstrate the critical necessity for good ties between the military and people in order to establish mutually beneficial partnerships that could result in peace during this period of insurgency in Borno State, Nigeria.  The primary focus of modern civil-military relations is how civilian leadership manages the armed forces in democracies. Therefore, the elements that influenced the connection between Nigeria's military institution and civilian leadership (2012–2021) were evaluated in this study. The study made the assumption that, since the establishment of the elected civilian government in May 1999, Nigeria's civil-military relations have been significantly shaped by the nature of the interactions between the military and civilian leaderships, the function of civil society, and the external environment. Among the factors found are the knowledge of civilian leadership, the military's readiness to follow orders from civilian leadership, the legal and policy frameworks that governed these leaderships, the functions of international actors, particularly advanced democracies, and civil society. The following results were obtained by using the qualitative content analysis method for data collection and evaluation: The Nigerian military was easier to control thanks to the civilian leadership's understanding of military issues; civil society's role as an advocate for liberal, democratic civil-military relations was very limited; the military's willingness to submit to established authority determined civilian control ability and the role of the international community in terms of its expectations and assistance in the region reform of the security sector fueled the potential for civilian command of the armed forces. 

This study examines the effectiveness of organic fertilizers in improving the quality and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants through a comprehensive literature study. A systematic review was conducted on recent scientific publications that discuss various types of organic fertilizers, including chicken manure, bokashi, organic liquid fertilizer, and eco-enzyme. The research method used a literature study approach by analyzing articles from 2020-2024, focusing on the effectiveness of organic fertilizers in increasing the growth and productivity of cucumber plants.The results showed that organic fertilizers do not merely provide nutrients, but transform as agents of soil ecosystem regeneration. Each type of organic fertilizer has a unique mechanism in influencing plant growth, including increased microbiological activity, optimization of soil structure, and stimulation of the root system. Variations in plant responses depend on genotype, fertilizer composition and environmental conditions. The research resulted in practical recommendations for sustainable organic fertilization strategies, emphasizing the importance of a precision and holistic approach in cucumber crop nutrient management. The findings make a significant contribution in the development of sustainable agriculture.
