Internship programs represent one of the implementations of the Kampus Berdampak policy aimed at enhancing students’ competencies, work experience, and readiness to enter the professional workforce. The success of such programs is highly dependent on effective governance through the application of the management functions of Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC). This study aims to analyze the implementation of POAC functions in the governance of student internship programs conducted outside Universitas Bina Darma. The research was carried out at the Kampus Berdampak Service Center of Universitas Bina Darma using a quantitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation involving 23 students participating in off-campus internship programs. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics based on the mean scores of each research indicator. The findings indicate that the implementation of POAC management functions in internship governance was categorized as very good, with an overall mean score of 4.29. The planning variable achieved the highest mean score (4.39), followed by organizing (4.30), actuating (4.27), and controlling (4.21). These results demonstrate that the internship program has been managed systematically and effectively. Nevertheless, monitoring and follow-up mechanisms require further improvement to support a more optimal and sustainable implementation of the program.

This study investigates why applicants who have passed the initial admissions stage do not proceed to final enrolment in an Indonesian private higher education context. While student recruitment is often measured by the number of applications received, institutional sustainability depends on the ability to convert applicants into enrolled students. This study employed a descriptive survey design supported by thematic analysis of open-ended responses. Data were collected from 179 applicants who had participated in the admissions process but did not complete final re-registration. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and thematic categorization. The findings show that conversion failure is influenced by several factors, including waiting for public university admission results, financial constraints, postponement of study plans, family considerations, uncertainty about the institution or study programmed, preference for other institutions, and campus accessibility. A key finding reveals that 58.1% of respondents would reconsider enrolment if scholarships, tuition discounts, or other financial assistance were available. These findings highlight the need for a conversion management strategy through targeted financial aid, transparent cost communication, family engagement, and proactive applicant follow-up.

The crisis of student morality and etiquette in higher education institutions has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in the modern era. Social changes, the rapid development of digital technology, and the weakening The crisis of student morality and etiquette in higher education institutions has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in the modern era. Social changes, the rapid development of digital technology, and the weakening internalization of religious values have contributed to a decline in students' moral character, which is reflected in poor communication ethics, lack of respect for lecturers, plagiarism practices, individualistic attitudes, and weak academic responsibility. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic values in addressing the crisis of student etiquette at UIN Walisongo Semarang. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through literature review, observation, and data collection from various scientific journals. The findings indicate that the implementation of Islamic values, such as akhlaq al-karimah (noble character), trustworthiness (amanah), discipline, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), and responsibility, can serve as effective solutions in developing students' religious and ethical character. These values are implemented through spiritual development programs, an Islamic academic culture, lecturers' role modeling, Islamic student organization activities, and character education based on Islamic principles. This study emphasizes that the integration of Islamic values into the campus education system constitutes a strategic step in shaping a generation of Muslim intellectuals who excel not only academically but also possess strong morality and ethical conduct.

Sufism as a spiritual approach has a great potential to prevent mental health problems among Generation Z students at UIN Walisongo Semarang. This is because Sufism focuses on inner balance, self-awareness, and strengthening spiritual values that can be a source of psychological resilience. This study aims to investigate how Sufism practices such as dhikr, self-reflection, and spiritual guidance can help prevent mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety, and loneliness among Generation Z students. The method used in this study is a qualitative study with a phenomenological design. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews with students, observations of religious activities on campus, and focus group discussions, then analyzed thematically. Interviews were conducted with three students: Wilda Ismatus Sarifah (Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training), Sinta Wahdatul Khusna (Faculty of Tarbiyah of Social and Political Sciences), and Umi Fathonah (Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training). The study found that regular Sufism practice guided by experienced individuals helped students feel more meaningful, more socially connected, and develop coping strategies. This was associated with reduced symptoms of stress and anxiety, as well as improved well-being. The study recommends integrating Sufism-based spiritual programs into campus counseling services and character development activities. It also recommends training spiritual mentors and fostering collaboration between student welfare units and religious institutions on campus to support the mental health of young people.

The drainage system is critical infrastructure for managing stormwater runoff in densely built urban areas, including higher education institutions. This study aims to evaluate the capacity performance of the existing drainage channels in the UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur campus area. The evaluation was conducted through two main stages: hydrological analysis using the rational method to estimate the design runoff discharge for a 10-year return period, and hydraulic analysis using Manning's equation to calculate the channel cross-sectional capacity in accordance with Permen PU No. 12 of 2014. Based on the assessment of 43 drainage channels, the results showed that 33 channels (76.7%) are still functioning optimally and capable of accommodating the design discharge. Conversely, 10 channels (23.3%) were identified as having insufficient capacity. This capacity deficit was triggered by initial designs that did not accommodate the 10-year return period flood discharge, increased runoff coefficients due to massive pavement development, and effective cross-section narrowing caused by sedimentation. To mitigate inundation issues, this study recommends redesigning the failing channels using an economical hydraulic cross-section, accompanied by periodic normalization and dredging for functional channels. The findings of this study are expected to serve as technical guidelines for the optimal and sustainable management of campus drainage infrastructure.

The area and distance between buildings at POLINELA Campus make the presence of adequate connector roads an important necessity to support the mobility of the academic community. This study aims to optimize the scheduling of flexible pavement construction for the POLINELA Connector Road using the Critical Path Method (CPM) based on Microsoft Project 2021. The research method used is descriptive quantitative by processing the Budget Plan (RAB) data into a project schedule consisting of 11 main activities. CPM analysis is used to determine the sequence of work, dependencies between activities, the critical path, and project completion time. The results show that the total project duration is 23 calendar days (May 11–June 6, 2026). CPM analysis identified 10 activities on the critical path with zero float, while embankment work is a non-critical activity with time flexibility. Applying a Start-to-Start (SS) relationship with a 3-day lag between excavation and embankment work allows parallel implementation, reducing the project duration by 4 days (14.8%) compared to the conventional Finish-to-Start (FS) scenario. These results indicate that implementing CPM through Microsoft Project 2021 can increase execution time efficiency, simplify schedule control, and support decision-making in road construction project management.

Evacuation planning in spatial networks requires the identification of critical nodes that maintain connectivity, accessibility, and flow distribution during emergency situations. Existing approaches often rely on individual centrality measures, which capture only a single structural dimension of node importance and may therefore produce incomplete or biased prioritization. To address this limitation, this study proposes a Composite Centrality Framework for identifying critical nodes in meso-scale spatial networks with semi-structured connectivity. The network is modeled as a weighted undirected graph, and Degree, Betweenness, and Closeness Centrality are integrated into a unified composite index to capture complementary structural roles. The framework is implemented in MATLAB and evaluated using a real-world campus spatial network consisting of 30 nodes and a synthetic network comprising 16 nodes with comparable structural characteristics. The results reveal a highly uneven distribution of node importance, with a small set of structurally dominant nodes consistently identified across both networks. In the campus network, node P1 achieves the highest composite centrality score (0.2195) and ranks first across the individual centrality measures, indicating its dominant role in maintaining network connectivity, accessibility, and flow distribution. Quantitative evaluation demonstrates strong agreement between the composite ranking and the individual measures, with Spearman rank correlation coefficients of 0.94, 0.89, and 0.91 for Degree, Betweenness, and Closeness Centrality, respectively. However, only one node (P1) appears simultaneously in the top five of all rankings, highlighting the complementary nature of the individual centrality measures and supporting the need for multi-criteria integration. Sensitivity analysis across three weighting scenarios yields rank correlations exceeding 0.97, confirming ranking stability and methodological robustness. Overall, the proposed framework provides a balanced and reliable approach for identifying critical nodes and demonstrates potential applicability to evacuation planning and spatial network analysis in semi-structured environments.

Ecology is the study of the relationship between living organisms and their environment, including the interactions that occur within an ecosystem. This study examines the utilization of the “DPR (Di Bawah Pohon Rindang)” area as a form of ecological interaction among students at Universitas Indraprasta PGRI. The research aims to understand how green open spaces on campus support students’ social and ecological interactions. This study employed a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 10 student informants. The findings show that the “DPR (Di Bawah Pohon Rindang)” area is actively used for academic and non-academic activities such as discussions, studying, resting, and social interaction. The presence of shady trees and a comfortable environment encourages students to interact more actively and creates a conducive learning atmosphere. In addition, the green open space provides ecological benefits by reducing heat exposure and improving air quality around the campus environment. However, several negative impacts were also identified, including littering and noise caused by overcrowded activities. Therefore, collective awareness is needed to maintain the cleanliness, comfort, and sustainability of the area so that it can continue to function optimally as a space for ecological interaction within the campus environment.

The study aims to analyze the influence of consumption behavior, projected through cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors, through Generation Z's decision to use the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS). The focus subjects were taken from undergraduate students of Economics at Surabaya State University from 2021 to 2024 who are active users of QRIS. Using an associative quantitative approach using primary data to be collected using an online questionnaire distribution. The data analysis technique applied Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 4 software. The results of the study showed that four factors of consumption behavior, namely cultural factors, social factors, personal factors, and psychological factors, have a positive and significant impact on students' decisions to use QRIS. Evaluation of the F-square value F2 shows that psychological factors (internal motivation, perceived ease, security, and trust) are the most dominant predictors with the largest effect value of 0.434 in influencing the decision to adopt this digital payment system technology. These findings indicate that a combination of students' internal motivation, the digital culture inherent in the campus environment, and the demands of practicality in Generation Z's lifestyle strengthen the decision to use QRIS in daily economic activities.

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is known for its high congestion levels. Data from the TomTom Traffic Index shows that Jakarta ranked 30th in the world in 2023 as one of the most congested cities, with a congestion level reaching 53% during peak hours. Pisangan Lama in East Jakarta is one of the densely populated areas, adjacent to busy roads. The main campus of STIKOM CKI, also located in East Jakarta, is situated along a route prone to heavy traffic. Given the congestion issues and the lack of information on the nearest routes, this study aims to implement the A* algorithm to find the shortest route from Pisangan Lama, East Jakarta, to the main campus of STIKOM CKI. The A* algorithm is chosen for its optimal routing capabilities. Based on research on three routes (Jl. I Gusti Ngurah Rai, Jl. Basuki Rachmat, and Jl. Raya Kalimalang), the results show that the route via Jl. Basuki Rachmat is the shortest, with a distance of 7.7 km. The implementation of the A* algorithm is expected to provide an efficient solution for the community in finding the nearest route.

Interpersonal problems within peer groups often become serious obstacles to the psychological and academic development of college students. This study aims to empirically examine the effectiveness of individual counseling services using cognitive restructuring techniques in reducing withdrawal behavior among college students experiencing peer conflict. The research method employed is a quantitative experiment with a Single-Subject Design approach, specifically utilizing an A-B design. The research subject  was a 6th-semester female college student, initialized as N, who experienced cognitive distortions in the form of feelings of exclusion by her five-member peer group, which triggered acute social withdrawal behavior (isolating herself in her boarding house). Data collection was conducted through a validated withdrawal behavior scale instrument, supported by clinical observations and in-depth interviews during the baseline phase (A) and the intervention phase (B). The results of the visual analysis within-conditions and between-conditions indicated a significant decrease in withdrawal behavior scores after the implementation of 4 intervention sessions. The subject was able to identify negative automatic thoughts (arbitrary inference), replace them with rational mindsets (positive thinking), feel more relieved, and commit to self-improvement. The implications of this study prove that individual counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques can be an effective intervention strategy for campus counselors to overcome cognitive distortions and interpersonal communication barriers in college students.

Financial information systems in higher education institutions manage highly sensitive assets, including tuition payments, scholarships, payroll, vendor transactions, budgeting, and institutional financial reporting. Although ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides a risk-based foundation for establishing an Information Security Management System, its implementation in universities is frequently constrained by fragmented governance, limited resources, complex asset environments, inconsistent managerial commitment, cultural resistance, and limited real-time monitoring capability. This study aims to develop an integrated security evaluation model for campus financial information systems by combining ISO/IEC 27001:2022, Zero Trust Architecture, AI-driven threat detection, security maturity assessment, and human-factor analysis. The study adopts a mixed-method sequential explanatory design integrated with Design Science Research. Quantitative stages include asset identification, risk scoring, ISO 27001 control gap analysis, maturity assessment, Zero Trust readiness assessment, and AI-driven detection readiness assessment. Qualitative stages include document analysis, semi-structured interviews, observation, expert judgment, and thematic analysis to examine organizational, cultural, and behavioral factors influencing security control effectiveness. The proposed outcome is the HEFIS-ISMS Model, an integrated framework consisting of seven layers: ISO 27001 control compliance, risk-based asset protection, security maturity, human and organizational factors, Zero Trust readiness, AI-driven detection readiness, and improvement roadmap. The model is expected to address the static and compliance-oriented limitations of conventional ISO 27001 assessments by introducing adaptive access control, continuous monitoring, anomaly detection readiness, and phased implementation guidance. The study contributes theoretically to cybersecurity governance in higher education and practically to risk-prioritized security improvement for resource-constrained universities.

Amid the accelerating rhythm of digital culture, academic competition, and the changing patterns of student life in higher education, the formation of Muslim student character has become an increasingly urgent concern. A campus mosque can no longer be viewed merely as a place of worship; it must also be understood as a strategic nonformal Islamic educational space that nurtures spirituality, morality, social awareness, and student identity in a more contextual way. This study aims to analyze the role of the campus mosque as a space for shaping Muslim student character through the Islamic mentoring program at Masjid Syamsul Ulum, Telkom University. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on document study and thematic analysis of scholarly articles, mentoring program documents, and relevant works on campus mosques, religious moderation, and student character education. The findings show that the mentoring program at Masjid Syamsul Ulum is systematically designed through a clear structure, curriculum, methods, evaluation tools, and mentor regeneration, all of which are integrated with the institutional values of Harmony, Excellence, and Integrity. Socioculturally, the program functions not only as a medium for religious instruction but also as a process of value internalization, habituation of religious practice, strengthening of moderation, and construction of Muslim student identity within a technology-oriented university environment. This study proposes a conceptual understanding that the campus mosque can serve as a strategic space for shaping Muslim students who are religious, moderate, collaborative, and adaptive in the digital era.

The search and booking of boarding houses (kost) remain a significant challenge for newcomers in campus areas, particularly in Kelurahan Samata, home to UIN Alauddin Makassar, which admits approximately 15,000 new students annually. Many of these students come from outside the region and require temporary accommodation near the campus. This issue is primarily caused by limited access to information and the lack of an optimal system to support the search and booking process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the level of user acceptance of the developed system. This study aims to analyze user acceptance of a boarding house search and booking information system in the case of Kelurahan Samata using the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) method. UAT is a testing approach used to determine whether a system meets user requirements, is accepted according to expected standards, and to identify the need for further improvements to ensure its feasibility for use. The UAT was conducted by end users, namely boarding house seekers and property owners/managers, by responding to 10 evaluation indicators: (1) ease of search, (2) time efficiency, (3) booking process, (4) geospatial search features, (5) completeness of information, (6) availability of suitable boarding houses, (7) accuracy of information, (8) ease of payment process, (9) check-in scheduling, and (10) navigation features for directions. The results of the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) indicate that the system achieved an average score of 87.77, suggesting that the system is highly acceptable and significantly facilitates users. These findings demonstrate that the system is well received by users, confirming that it functions effectively and is capable of accommodating all required functionalities.

This study aims to examine the relationship between doom scrolling behavior and social anxiety among psychology students at Campus V, Universitas Negeri Padang. Doom scrolling refers to the habitual consumption of negative information through digital media, which is increasingly prevalent in the context of intensive social media use. This research employed a quantitative correlational design with a sample of 205 students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through Likert-scale instruments measuring doom scrolling behavior and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A). Statistical analysis using Pearson correlation revealed a significant positive relationship between doom scrolling and social anxiety (r = 0.324, p < 0.01), indicating a low to moderate correlation. These findings suggest that higher engagement in doom scrolling is associated with increased levels of social anxiety. The results support previous studies highlighting maladaptive patterns of social media use as a contributing factor to psychological distress. This study underscores the importance of digital literacy and self-regulation in media consumption, particularly among students, to mitigate the negative psychological impacts associated with excessive exposure to distressing online content.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-control and the moral development of students at Medan State University. Self-control is an individual's ability to control emotions, impulses, and behavior to align with prevailing moral norms and values ​​in both academic and social settings. This study employed quantitative methods, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to students. The research instrument was used to measure students' levels of self-control and their moral development, as reflected in their attitudes of responsibility, honesty, discipline, and ethical behavior on campus. The data obtained were analyzed to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that students' levels of self-control were considered good and had a positive relationship with moral development. This suggests that students with better self-control tend to display behaviors consistent with prevailing moral values ​​and norms. Therefore, self-control plays a crucial role in the moral development of students, necessitating ongoing efforts by universities to support the development of self-control through character development and academic activities oriented toward moral values.

Modern higher education faces significant challenges regarding character crisis and moral degradation amidst mass digitalization. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of internalizing ethical values from Ibn Jama’ah's book Tadzkirat al-Sāmi‘ wa al-Mutakallim among STIT Riyadhussholihiin students as a response to contemporary moral issues]. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, combining field research and library research through content analysis, observation, and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that the internalization process occurs systematically through stages of value transformation, transaction, and transinternalization. Key ethical values internalized include soul purification (tazkiyatun nafs), sincerity of intention, time management, and adab toward educators. The success of this internalization relies heavily on the synergy between students' intrinsic awareness, lecturers' role modeling (uswah hasanah), and a conducive campus ecosystem. The implication of this study is the provision of a practical strategy for Islamic higher education institutions to produce graduates who are khair al-barīyah—individuals who possess broad knowledge, fear of Allah, and leadership integrity.

This study examines the practice and meaning of hijab among Muslim female students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Department to determine whether the hijab is understood more as a religious obligation or as a form of identity choice. The purpose of this study is to describe the motivations, patterns of practice, social influences, and experiences of female students related to wearing the hijab in their daily lives, both on and off campus. The study employed a quantitative-descriptive design complemented by qualitative components. A structured questionnaire consisting of Likert-scale statements and open-ended questions was distributed to 70 Muslim female students, while essay responses were analyzed thematically to gain a deeper understanding of the respondents’ perspectives. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics in the form of percentage distributions to identify response tendencies, while qualitative data were coded to present representative experiences, views, and reasons underlying the decision to wear the hijab. The results showed that the majority of female students consistently wore the hijab primarily because of religious beliefs and personal awareness as Muslim women, although cultural identity, family environment, and social acceptance also influenced the practice. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of recognizing the hijab as both a manifestation of faith and a social identity, as well as the need for a campus environment that respects individual motivations, choices, and autonomy in wearing the hijab.
