The rapid growth of digital marketplaces has significantly reshaped consumption behavior among university students. Promotional strategies based on scarcity and urgency, such as flash sales, limited-time discounts, and countdown timers, are designed to induce psychological pressure, potentially triggering Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). This study aims to examine the relationship between self-control and FoMO among university students who use digital marketplaces. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 70 undergraduate students selected through accidental sampling. Self-control was measured using the Brief Self-Control Scale, while FoMO was assessed using an adapted Online FoMO Scale. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation after fulfilling normality assumptions. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between self-control and FoMO (r = –0.522, p < .001), indicating that individuals with higher self-control tend to experience lower levels of FoMO in marketplace contexts. These findings highlight the role of self-regulation as a protective factor against emotionally driven consumption behavior. This study contributes to the literature on digital consumer psychology by extending the concept of FoMO beyond social interaction into economic decision-making contexts. Strengthening self-control is therefore essential in helping individuals manage psychological pressure arising from urgency-based marketing strategies.

The flash flood disaster that hit Indonesia, including the devastating disaster in three Sumatran provinces in November-December 2025 which resulted in more than 900 casualties and trillions of rupiah in losses, shows a strong correlation between environmental damage caused by corporate activities and increased disaster risk. The purpose of this study is to analyze corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash flood disasters based on the Environmental Management Law (UU PPLH), examine the mechanism for proving corporate criminal liability, and evaluate the application of criminal sanctions against corporations that commit environmental damage resulting in flash flood disasters. The research method used is normative legal research with a descriptive analytical statute approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through library research and interviews with sources at the North Sumatra Provincial Environmental Service. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that: First, corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash floods has been comprehensively regulated in Articles 116 to 120 of the Environmental Management and Management Law, which recognizes corporations as subjects of criminal law and regulates the criteria for corporate crimes (committed by, for, or on behalf of a business entity), the responsible party (the business entity and/or the person giving the order/leader of the activity), a one-third aggravation of the sentence, and corporate representation in court, as reinforced by Supreme Court Regulation Number 13 of 2016. The conclusion of this study is that the Environmental Management and Management Law has provided a comprehensive legal framework for corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash floods. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement still needs to be improved through accelerating the judicial process, strengthening the capacity of law enforcement, improving inter-agency coordination, and strengthening the decision execution mechanism.

Science education in elementary schools requires the active involvement of students through meaningful learning experiences. One of the essential subjects in fourth grade elementary school is the growth and development of animals and plants. However, science education is still often conducted conventionally, so that students' scientific process skills have not developed optimally. This study aims to analyze and describe the application of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in science learning projects on the growth and development of animals and plants with the support of Seesaw and Flashcard Quizlet digital media through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The research method used SLR with a descriptive qualitative approach to relevant scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025. The results of the study show that the application of PjBL can increase student learning activity, scientific process skills, and understanding of science concepts. The use of Seesaw was effective as a medium for project documentation and reflection, while Flashcard Quizlet helped reinforce concepts and formative evaluation. Thus, the integration of PjBL, Seesaw, and Quizlet can be an innovative learning alternative that is relevant to the Merdeka Curriculum and the needs of elementary school students.

Objective: This community service activity aimed to improve knowledge and prepare mothers from an early stage to face menopausal changes and manage the associated discomfort. Methods: The activity was conducted at SDN 9 SP I Pandan and involved nine participants. The educational intervention was carried out in three stages: introduction and pre-test, delivery of material using PowerPoint and leaflets, and an interactive discussion session. The materials covered the definition of menopause, its stages, common symptoms, health risks, and preparation strategies through healthy lifestyles and medical check-ups. Results: The counseling session was conducted smoothly in the hall of SDN 9 SP I Pandan. Participants showed high enthusiasm, with five out of nine actively asking in-depth questions related to preparing for the menopausal transition. Through this educational activity, participants gained a comprehensive understanding of symptom management, including hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mental health. Conclusion: This community service activity successfully provided new insights for mothers regarding the importance of preparing for menopause. The positive response from participants indicates the need for similar educational activities to be carried out regularly to build a sustainable support system for women during perimenopause and menopause.

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. However, science learning is still often done conventionally, causing students to be less active and easily bored. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate learning media that is interactive and in accordance with technological developments. One of the digital learning media that can be used is the Quizlet application. This study aims to examine the application of digital flashcards and interactive quizzes using Quizlet learning media in learning the properties and changes of the form of objects in elementary schools. The research method used is a literature study by examining various relevant sources in the form of scientific journals, research articles, and supporting references related to the use of Quizlet in learning. The results of the study show that the use of Quizlet has a positive impact on the learning process, especially in increasing students' interest, activeness, and feelings of happiness during learning. Quizlet's flashcard and test features help students understand the material through engaging visual and audio-visual displays and varied practice questions. In addition, the use of Quizlet has also been proven to be able to improve students' critical thinking skills through question-answering activities, analyzing material, and providing opinions. Student learning outcomes showed an increase with an average score above the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). Thus, Quizlet can be concluded as an effective, engaging, and relevant digital learning medium to support science learning in elementary schools.  

This article investigates the effectiveness of cooperative learning using vocabulary flashcards in improving students’ mastery of English adjectives. The research was conducted due to students’ limited vocabulary knowledge. The objective of this article was to examine whether the implementation of a cooperative learning model supported by vocabulary flashcards could enhance students’ adjective mastery and learning engagement. A pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The participants consisted of 15 junior high school students enrolled in an English course. Data were collected through pretest, posttest, classroom observation, and a student response questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and N-Gain analysis, while qualitative data were obtained from observation sheets and questionnaire responses. The findings indicate a noticeable improvement in students’ posttest scores compared to their pretest results, with the mean N-Gain score categorized as moderately effective. In addition, observation data revealed high levels of student participation during cooperative learning activities. Questionnaire results further showed positive student responses toward the use of cooperative learning and vocabulary flashcards, particularly in terms of motivation, confidence, and ease of understanding English adjectives. These findings suggest that cooperative learning combined with vocabulary flashcards can effectively support students’ vocabulary development and active engagement. In conclusion, the study provides empirical evidence that cooperative learning facilitates meaningful interaction and knowledge construction, supporting its implementation in English vocabulary instruction. However, future research is recommended to involve larger samples and comparative research designs to strengthen the generalizability of the findings.

This study aims to determine the appropriate choice of Fiqh learning media for eighth-grade students at MTs Manbail Futuh Jenu. The background of this study is the low ability of students to remember Fiqh material due to the dominant use of lectures and textbooks. The method used in this study was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that the majority of students prefer audio-visual, visual, and interactive learning media such as videos, animations, illustrative images, flashcards, and educational games. The use of these media facilitates students' understanding and retention of practical Fiqh material, such as ablution, tayammum, and prayer. Conversely, the use of lectures without engaging media quickly causes students to become bored and struggle to retain the material. This study concludes that selecting learning media that aligns with students' preferences can improve their memory and comprehension of Fiqh material.
