“Hallyu” (the Korean Wave) refers to the popularity of everything originating from Korea. Aims to examine the description of students’ K-Pop celebrity worship behavior before and after receiving group counseling with the Cognitive Restructuring technique, analyze the differences in students’ behavior, and test the effect of the counseling on reducing celebrity worship tendencies. The findings are expected to provide theoretical contributions to the field of guidance and counseling, particularly regarding the application of Cognitive Restructuring to mitigate obsessive behaviors, as well as practical benefits for school counselors and institutions in helping students reduce celebrity worship tendencies so they can remain focused on academic and social development. The research employed an experimental method with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest design. The subjects consisted of eight tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Kuantan Mudik who were identified as having a high level of K-Pop celebrity worship. The instrument used was a 19-item K-Pop celebrity worship scale that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and N-Gain calculations to determine treatment effectiveness. The results showed that prior to receiving group counseling with Cognitive Restructuring techniques, most students were categorized as having high or moderate levels of celebrity worship. After the intervention, all students experienced a decrease in celebrity worship behavior, falling into the low category. This demonstrates that group counseling using Cognitive Restructuring is effective in helping students shift irrational thinking patterns toward more rational ones, enabling them to control excessive celebrity worship behavior.

ABSTRACT Background: Pregnancy complications are one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in women. Data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI) showed that 28% of pregnant women in Indonesia are at risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is a condition characterized by the onset of hypertension followed by organ dysfunction either with or without proteinuria at a gestational age above 20 weeks. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and outcomes of neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia. Method: This type of research is a quantitative descriptive study using secondary data and using a total sampling of 261 medical records. Results: The results of the study were as follows: preeclampsia occurs mostly in young adults 73.95%, Primigravida 60.15%, Islam 50.50%, working mothers 62.45%, secondary education 80.07%, and first marital status 76.62%. The description of neonatal outcomes in mothers giving birth with preeclampsia was obtained with neonatal outcomes in good condition, namely 47.14% born at term gestational age with 43.67% non-LBW conditions, experiencing asphyxia 37.94% and being treated without respiratory support 65.52%. Conclusion: the outcomes of neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia quite often experience asphyxia. Early detection, prevention and treatment of complications, especially in cases of preeclampsia, are necessary so that neonatal outcomes can be maintained without complications and produce a good level of health for both mothers giving birth and newborns.

Expansive clay soil is soil that can expand and contract significantly in response to changes in soil moisture content. This study used an experimental method to stabilize expansive clay soil using a mixture of gypsum waste powder, which was tested using the Atterberg test, the Unconfined Compression Strength test, and the California Bearing Ratio test with mixture variations of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%. The results showed that the addition of gypsum waste powder could reduce the expansivity level of the soil from a very high level of 42% to a moderate level of 20%, increase the value in the Unconfined test at a maximum mixture of 10%, and increase the value in the CBR test at a maximum mixture of 30%. Based on the above description, this study aims to determine the extent of the effect of gypsum waste powder on expansive clay soil on the bearing capacity and compressive strength of expansive clay soil.

This study aims to examine learning typologies in Arabic language instruction and analyze how differences in learning styles influence the effectiveness of the learning process. The study focuses on identifying the characteristics of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning types and how these variations can serve as the basis for designing more adaptive and meaningful Arabic teaching strategies. The method employed is a literature review, involving the examination of books, journal articles, previous research findings, and other relevant scientific documents. The analysis was conducted through the collection of references, in-depth review, critical evaluation, categorization of findings, and theoretical synthesis, resulting in a comprehensive description of learning typologies within the context of Arabic language learning. The findings indicate that Arabic language learning is influenced not only by variations in learning typologies but also by fundamental conceptual foundations of learning, which include philosophical, psychological, sociological, and communicative aspects. Learning typologies visual, auditory, and kinesthetic play a significant role in determining how learners understand and respond to Arabic material. Furthermore, learning success is strongly shaped by the application of active learning principles and the learners' cognitive processes. The cognitive domain, which refers to mental abilities to think, establish associations, understand, and analyze knowledge, becomes a crucial element in optimizing language comprehension. These findings affirm that Arabic language learning will be more effective when teachers are able to integrate fundamental learning concepts and adapt teaching strategies to learners' typologies and cognitive abilities.

This community service program was carried out to strengthen the ability of lecturers, students, and practitioners in understanding the role of data and statistics as the foundation for constructing scientific arguments in quantitative research. The activity originated from the limited understanding of some participants regarding the correct logical flow of research, starting from problem formulation, hypothesis development, data processing, to drawing conclusions based on analytical results. Through case-based training and interactive discussions, participants were introduced to key concepts in research methodology, such as determining variables, sampling techniques, developing measurement instruments, and applying parametric and non-parametric statistics to test hypotheses. The training emphasized that data provide factual descriptions of a phenomenon, while statistics serve as analytical tools that answer research questions objectively. The activity was conducted online with 73 participants from Universitas Pancasakti Bekasi, representing various academic backgrounds. The results indicated an improvement in participants' ability to understand statistical outputs, interpret significance levels of tests, and prepare research conclusions in a logical and structured manner. In addition, the activity contributed to enhancing methodological literacy within the academic community, encouraging a strong research culture, and maximizing the use of statistics in scientific analysis as well as professional practice. Therefore, this program has a positive impact on improving the quality of research in higher education.

This study aims to determine the effect of digital media use on children's academic achievement. Rapid technological developments have made digital media a crucial part of the modern educational process. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study provides an in-depth description of how digital media is used in learning activities and its impact on student learning outcomes. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation of students, teachers, and parents involved in the technology-based learning process. The results indicate that digital media plays a significant role in increasing children's interest and motivation in learning, enriching their knowledge base, and helping them understand the material more effectively.
