Until now, truancy behavior is still frequently found among students during school hours. This behavior is caused by various factors, such as waking up late, staying up too late at night, feeling tired or sleepy, vehicle problems such as flat tires, lack of motivation to go to school, and other reasons. This problem has become an important concern for school counselors in providing assistance, one of which is through individual counseling services. Students’ participation in the learning process greatly affects the smoothness of learning and the results achieved at school. If truancy behavior continues to be ignored, it can lead to more serious impacts and even increase the risk of students dropping out of school. Therefore, school counselors have an important role in helping overcome this problem with support from students, subject teachers, and parents. One method that can be applied is individual counseling using the behavior contract technique. This technique aims to help students change negative behavior into more disciplined behavior so that truancy habits can be reduced and not repeated again. This study used a qualitative method with interview techniques for data collection. The results of the study showed that individual counseling services using the behavior contract technique were effective in helping overcome truancy behavior among students.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) plays a crucial role in modern industrial systems by minimizing downtime, reducing maintenance costs, and optimizing asset performance. However, many predictive models operate as “black box” systems, limiting transparency and making it difficult for operators to interpret their outputs. This study aims to integrate Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques with Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction models to improve both accuracy and interpretability. Various machine learning and deep learning approaches, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), are employed to predict RUL using real-time sensor data from rotating machinery. XAI methods such as SHAP, LIME, and attention mechanisms are applied to provide human-understandable explanations of model predictions. The models are evaluated based on accuracy, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and interpretability scores. The results show that XAI-enhanced models outperform traditional approaches in predictive performance while offering greater transparency. These explanations help maintenance engineers better understand the factors influencing predictions, thereby improving decision-making and trust in the system. Nevertheless, the integration of XAI introduces additional computational complexity, which may pose challenges for large-scale industrial implementation. Overall, this study highlights the potential of combining XAI with RUL prediction to develop more reliable, transparent, and effective predictive maintenance solutions.

In the era of globalization, children are exposed to a social environment influenced by external factors such as social media, advertising, and a consumer culture, all of which can promote a materialistic lifestyle. Consequently, financial literacy education has become essential to equip children with the necessary skills to manage their finances effectively. Beginning with a simple understanding of accounting, children can learn fundamental concepts of money management, financial decision-making, and planning. However, many young children still lack access to this vital education. Various learning methods and media, including loose parts, storytelling, and interactive educational tools, can be utilized to foster financial understanding. Additionally, this education promotes important social concepts like sharing, charity, and the responsibility of managing finances to help others. It integrates Islamic principles, emphasizing values such as honesty, justice, transparency, and the avoidance of usury. Through these principles, children are not only taught how to manage their personal finances but also how to contribute to society. By implementing financial literacy education at an early age, we can help children grow into informed, ethical, and responsible leaders in the future. This education is crucial for ensuring they make sound financial choices and contribute positively to their communities.

The ability to read the Qur’an is a fundamental competence that must be possessed by every Muslim student. However, in educational practice at schools, various problems are still found, particularly the low level of Qur’an reading ability among some students, accompanied by learning boredom. One of the contributing factors to this condition is the use of a single, monotonous, and less varied teaching method.
