The effectiveness of Village Fund management is an essential indicator of good village governance in achieving accountable financial management and improving community welfare. However, its implementation continues to face various challenges, particularly regarding financial transparency and the competence of village officials. This study aims to examine the influence of transparency and the competence of village officials on the effectiveness of Village Fund management in Blubuk Village, Losari District, Brebes Regency. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The study involved 30 respondents, consisting of all village government officials, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics. The findings indicate that transparency has a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of Village Fund management. Likewise, the competence of village officials also has a positive and significant influence on the effectiveness of Village Fund management. Simultaneously, both independent variables significantly affect the effectiveness of Village Fund management, with an adjusted coefficient of determination of 88.8%, indicating that most of the variation in management effectiveness is explained by transparency and the competence of village officials. These findings imply that strengthening financial transparency and enhancing the capacity of village officials are essential strategies for improving effective, transparent, accountable, and sustainable Village Fund management.

Early Marriage in Pagar Alam City is currently still quite high, the Pagar Alam Religious Court only relies on a recap of the number of cases per year to draw conclusions about the early marriage data. This method has limitations in classifying early marriage factors, so the Religious Court has difficulty in monitoring and controlling the occurrence of Early Marriage in Pagar Alam City. The purpose of this research thesis is to produce a classification system for Early Marriage factors using the K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm to find out what factors influence the occurrence of Early Marriage, the method used in this study is the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) which has 6 stages, namely: Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Modeling, Evaluation, and Deployment. The testing stage in this study uses Confusion Matrix and BlackBox Testing. The final results of this study indicate that the system can classify Early Marriage factors. The classification model built achieved an Accuracy of 94.12% and a Precise value of 85.71% and a Recall value of 100.00%, while testing using Black Box testing in the form of alpha obtained a feasibility value of 83.2%, so this system is very suitable for use.  

Breastfeeding should ideally begin immediately after birth and be provided exclusively for the first six months of life. However, in 2022, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding among infants aged 0–6 months in Jayapura was only 21%, which remains far below the national target of 45%. Various factors contribute to this low coverage, including limited knowledge, lack of experience, insufficient support systems, and concerns among adolescent mothers that breastfeeding may interfere with their education or employment. This study aimed to explore the breastfeeding experiences of adolescent mothers in Wahno Village, Abepura Subdistrict. A qualitative research design was used, with structured interviews conducted using a questionnaire. The results indicated that the initiation of exclusive breastfeeding among adolescent mothers was generally positive. Participants reported mixed emotional experiences, including feelings of happiness, pride, stress, and discomfort. Family support, particularly from husbands, played an important role in sustaining breastfeeding practices. Most respondents also demonstrated adequate knowledge regarding how to manage breastfeeding-related challenges. Overall, adolescent mothers in Wahno Village showed a reasonable level of understanding and commitment toward exclusive breastfeeding. Continued education and support are recommended to further strengthen breastfeeding practices among adolescent mothers and their families.

Needle Stick Injury (NSI) is a serious occupational hazard among healthcare workers due to the risk of transmitting bloodborne pathogens. A preliminary study at Puskesmas X found that 60% of healthcare workers had experienced NSI. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between work standards, skills, and training with the incidence of NSI among healthcare workers (nurses and midwives) at Puskesmas X, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total sampling technique was used, resulting in 37 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using statistical tests. The results showed majority of respondents were aged 26–34 years (67.6%), female (81.1%), and had experienced NSI (73.0%). Statistical analysis showed a significant association between work standards (p = 0.018), skills (p < 0.001), and training (p = 0.014) with NSI incidence. Poor work standards, inadequate clinical skills, and limited participation in training were strongly associated with higher rates of NSI. Community health centers are recommended to implement regular occupational safety training programs to improve the technical skills of healthcare workers.

This study analyzes how digital interface design (UI/UX) and system architecture are manipulated to unethically extract user consent, resulting in personal data commercialization and massive online loan (pinjol) spam marketing. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research combines descriptive quantitative analysis of digital user perception surveys with qualitative observations involving UI teardowns, privacy policy evaluations, and extensive literature reviews. Initial findings indicate a profound crisis of genuine informed consent, exacerbated by the deployment of dark patterns such as pre-ticked checkboxes, disguised opt-out architectures, and information overload engineered into legal documents. This systematic manipulation facilitates unauthorized personal data distribution to third parties under the guise of legitimate agreement, directly triggering privacy intrusions and psychological distress, including severe anxiety among data subjects. Philosophically and morally, these practices constitute a severe breach of Information Technology Professional Ethics (EPTI). Consequently, this study highlights the urgent need for developer accountability and advocates for the implementation of proactive, transparent ethical design frameworks compliant with Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) standards to reclaim digital autonomy.

Classroom management is an important aspect of creating a conducive learning environment and supporting the achievement of learning objectives. This study aims to analyze the permissive approach and the cookbook approach in classroom management based on the results of an interview with a teacher. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with interviews used as the primary data collection technique. The findings indicate that the teacher does not fully implement either the permissive approach or the cookbook approach. The teacher provides students with freedom within limits that support the learning process while still enforcing agreed-upon classroom rules. In addition, the teacher does not rely on rigid procedures but instead adapts classroom management strategies to students' characteristics and the situations encountered in the classroom. The study reveals that the teacher tends to adopt an adaptive classroom management approach by combining firmness, empathy, and flexibility, thereby creating an orderly, comfortable, and effective learning environment that supports the achievement of educational objectives.

These efforts are expected to promote sustainable welfare improvement and strengthen maritime resilience in coastal areas.

Science and language literacy remain challenges in non-formal education, as learning often emphasizes memorization and underutilizes local contexts as learning resources. This community service program aimed to strengthen the competence of Community Learning Center (PKBM) tutors in developing science and language literacy modules based on the ethnoscience and local wisdom of Klaten. The program employed a Training of Trainers (ToT) approach involving training sessions, module development workshops, and mentoring. Participants consisted of 20 tutors from three PKBM in Klaten Regency. Competence was evaluated through pretest and posttest questionnaires covering literacy understanding, pedagogical competence, module development, and learning implementation. Results indicated a 24,61%. increase in tutor competence, with the average score rising from 63,31 to 87,92. The program effectively enhanced tutors’ capacity to design contextual learning grounded in ethnoscience and local wisdom.

Within the framework of Islamic family law (fiqh munakahat), the issue of nusyuz plays a significant role, as it is closely related to maintaining harmony and stability in the marital relationship. Generally, nusyuz is often defined as a form of a wife’s disobedience toward her husband. However, Islamic jurisprudence acknowledges that nusyuz can also be committed by a husband if he fails to fulfill the rights, responsibilities, and obligations he owes to his wife, in accordance with the principles of Sharia. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the concept of nusyuz in the context of family life, from the perspective of fiqh munakahat. The discussion covers the meaning and characteristics of nusyuz, its legal basis in Islamic sources, the factors contributing to its emergence, its various manifestations in married life, its implications for family relationships, and existing methods for addressing this issue. This study employs a literature review method supported by a descriptive qualitative approach, drawing on relevant literature from classical and contemporary Islamic legal sources. The results indicate that resolving issues of nusyuz should be approached through a gradual and constructive process, including counseling, dialogue, mediation, consultation, and reconciliation. These steps aim to restore mutual understanding and strengthen family unity. Therefore, raising awareness of each spouse’s rights and obligations is crucial to preventing nusyuz and creating a household filled with peace, love, mutual respect, and intimacy.

Jaminan sendiri memiliki makna yaitu menjamin agar dipenuhinya kewajiban yang dapat dinilai dengan uang yang timbul akibat adanya perikatan hukum. Hukum jaminan berkaitan erat dalam hubungannya dengan hukum benda-benda. Dalam Pasal 87 Peraturan Menteri Keuangan Nomor 122 tahun 2023 disebutkan bahwa “lembaga jasa keuangan sebagai kreditor dapat membeli agunanya dalam pelaksanaan lelang sepanjang diatur dan tidak bertentangan dengan peraturan perundang-undangan”. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual, Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu bahwa seyogyanya setiap orang atau badan hukum selain Lembaga Jasa Keuangan bisa melakukan pembelian jaminanya yang diterimanya karena semua orang mempunyai hak dan kedudukan yang sama dimata hukum, sehingga peserta lelang tidak hanya Lembaga jasa keuangan tetapi bisa semua orang yang dapat melakukan pembelian jaminan terhadap jaminan yang dijadikan objek dalam perjanjian dan dinyatakan jelas dalam perjanjian accessoir merupakan perjanjian tambahan terhadap perjanjian pokoknya yang dapat dilaksanakan dengan mekanisme lelang dimuka umum melalui pejabat lelang.

Hasil Focus Group Discussion (FGD) bersama bidan dan akseptor KB menunjukkan masih sering terjadi keterlambatan maupun kelalaian dalam konsumsi pil KB serta jadwal kunjungan ulang suntik, sehingga diperlukan media atau sistem pengingat yang dapat membantu meningkatkan kepatuhan akseptor.  Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menilai efektivitas aplikasi mobile “e-KABE” sebagai sarana pendukung pelayanan Keluarga Berencana di Desa Cigalontang, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, pada tahun 2021.

Gravity measurements in the Dieng geothermal area at regional and wide scales are still limited. GGMplus data provides large-scale gravity information that can be used for subsurface mapping more efficiently and at lower cost while maintaining optimal results. The GGMplus gravity acceleration data is processed into complete Bouguer anomalies, then separated using upward continuation to obtain regional and local anomalies. Both anomalies are further analyzed using the first horizontal derivative (FHD) and second horizontal derivative (SHD). The results are then used for 3D modeling using Grablox and Bloxer software. The Bouguer anomaly distribution ranges from approximately ‒70 to ‒230 mGal, with high anomalies located in the northeast of the study area, corresponding to geothermal manifestations in Dieng. FHD analysis indicates a regional anomaly source located 6.8 km northeast, interpreted as a magmatic zone. Local anomalies reveal an intrusion body about 2 km in size at a distance of 4 km in Mount Prau, interpreted as a heat source. The 3D model shows high-density values of 2.87 g/cm³ for regional anomalies and 2.8–2.9 g/cm³ for local anomalies, associated with ancient volcanic rocks and diorite intrusions acting as a heat source in the Sikidang–Merdada geothermal system.

Background: Sectio Caesarea (SC) is a surgical procedure to deliver the fetus through an incision in the abdominal and uterine wall. Patients with a history of previous sectio caesarea frequently experience acute pain, risk of infection, and lack of knowledge regarding post-SC contraception, requiring comprehensive nursing care. Objective: To describe the application of nursing care in a patient with post-operative sectio caesarea with a history of sectio caesarea indication. Methods: This study used a descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and relevant literature review. Results: Assessment of Ny. S revealed three nursing diagnoses: acute pain, knowledge deficit, and risk of infection. Interventions included pain management, family planning (KB) health education, and infection prevention through wound care. Following nursing interventions, the knowledge deficit resolved completely, while acute pain and risk of infection were partially resolved. Conclusion: Systematic nursing care can effectively address nursing problems in post-SC patients and improve patient health outcomes.

Keamanan dan kesehatan di tempat kerja adalah salah satu hal penting dalam membentuk suasana kerja yang aman, terutama bagi pekerja bongkar muat (TKBM) yang menghadapi risiko kecelakaan kerja yang cukup besar. Pemakaian Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) yang memenuhi standar merupakan salah satu langkah untuk mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan kerja di area pelabuhan. Namun, hasil pengamatan di Pelabuhan Tenau menunjukkan masih ada pekerja yang mengenakan APD tidak sesuai standar SNI dan tidak menggunakan APD secara lengkap saat bertugas. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dampak pendidikan penggunaan APD terhadap pengetahuan keselamatan kerja pada pekerja bongkar muat (TKBM) di Pelabuhan Tenau. Penelitian ini mengaplikasikan metode kuantitatif dengan desain pre-eksperimental yang menggunakan pendekatan one group pre-test dan post-test. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 28 responden dengan alat penelitian berupa kuesioner yang berisi 10 pertanyaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum mendapatkan edukasi, rata-rata responden berhasil menjawab dengan benar 6 pertanyaan (60%) dan memberikan jawaban salah pada 4 pertanyaan (40%). Setelah mendapatkan edukasi, hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan di mana sebagian besar responden dapat menjawab dengan benar sebanyak 9 pertanyaan (90%) dan jawaban salah berkurang menjadi 1 pertanyaan (10%). Berdasarkan hasil studi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan penggunaan APD berdampak pada peningkatan pengetahuan keselamatan kerja bagi tenaga kerja bongkar muat (TKBM). Sehingga, diperlukan pengawasan dan pendidikan secara berkala mengenai pemakaian APD yang memenuhi standar SNI untuk meningkatkan keselamatan kerja di area pelabuhan.  

Perceraian dalam masyarakat adat Batak Toba merupakan suatu fenomena hukum yang tidak dapat dilepaskan dari sistem kekerabatan dan nilai-nilai budaya yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Meskipun perceraian pada dasarnya dihindari, dalam praktiknya perceraian tetap dimungkinkan melalui mekanisme adat yang menitikberatkan pada musyawarah dan kesepakatan keluarga besar. Permasalahan muncul ketika perceraian yang dilakukan secara adat tersebut dihadapkan pada ketentuan hukum positif di Indonesia, khususnya Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan yang mensyaratkan perceraian harus dilakukan melalui putusan pengadilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis mekanisme perceraian menurut adat Batak Toba serta mengkaji keabsahannya ditinjau dari Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus, serta menggunakan data sekunder berupa bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier yang dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme perceraian adat Batak Toba dilakukan melalui tahapan musyawarah keluarga dengan melibatkan unsur dalihan na tolu, dan memiliki kekuatan mengikat secara sosial dalam masyarakat adat. Namun, secara yuridis formal, perceraian tersebut tidak memiliki keabsahan hukum apabila tidak dilakukan melalui putusan pengadilan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974. Oleh karena itu, perceraian adat hanya sah secara sosiologis, tetapi belum sah secara hukum negara. Diperlukan harmonisasi antara hukum adat dan hukum nasional agar tercipta kepastian hukum tanpa mengabaikan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran pengasuh dalam mengembangkan spiritualitas anak di Panti Asuhan Elim HKBP Pematangsiantar melalui pendekatan attachment (kelekatan). Latar belakang masalah menunjukkan bahwa anak panti asuhan sering mengalami trauma, kesepian, dan krisis kepercayaan kepada Tuhan akibat ketidakhadiran orang tua kandung. Menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik observasi partisipatif, wawancara semi-terstruktur kepada pimpinan dan pengasuh, serta pendekatan halus kepada anak-anak, penelitian ini mendasarkan analisis pada teori attachment John Bowlby dan konsep spiritualitas anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengasuh berperan sebagai pengganti orang tua yang tidak hanya memenuhi kebutuhan fisik, tetapi juga membangun kelekatan emosional yang aman (secure base) melalui pembagian tugas kekeluargaan, kegiatan ibadah rutin (pagi dan malam), serta pendampingan personal. Tantangan terbesar terjadi pada masa adaptasi anak baru yang sering menunjukkan perilaku menangis, menyendiri, dan keraguan spiritual. Pendekatan holistik dan konsisten berbasis kasih agape terbukti efektif menumbuhkan rasa aman, kepercayaan diri, dan nilai religius anak. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa peran pengasuh sebagai figur kelekatan sangat fundamental dalam pembentukan spiritualitas anak panti asuhan.

Dualisme yang terjadi antara iman Kristen dan adat Batak sering sekali menjadi suatu hal yang digumulkan, khususnya bagi jemaat HKBP, terkait bagaimana kehidupan sehari-hari terkait kehidupan bergereja dan bermasyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali informasi tentang bagaimana sebenarnya dualisme tersebut dialami oleh jemaat HKBP Karang Bangun Resort Dame serta bagaimana pemimpin gereja menjadi jembatan bagi ketegangan yang terjadi antara aturan gereja dan tradisi adat. Dengan pendekatan yang kualitatif yakni studi pustaka dan wawancara yang mendalam terhadap empat narasumber yaitu: Jemaat, Sintua, Naposobulung/pemudi, dan pemimpin gereja/pendeta. Data ini kemudian dianalisis secara sistematis dengan teori otoritas antara Thomas F. O'Dea dan Max Weber, serta konsep Sahala yang dikaitkan dengan budaya Batak. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dualisme yang terjadi tidak dianggap sebagai konflik di mana Gereja ditempatkan sebagai prioritas utama. Pemimpin gereja menerapkan tiga otoritas yang diungkapkan oleh Thomas F. O'Dea dan Max Weber, yaitu tradisional, kharismatik, dan legal-rasional , yang dalam tradisi atau budaya Batak seakan-akan perwujudan Sahala. Penelitian ini sendiri seakan-akan menawarkan kontribusi yang orisinal dengan menunjukkan keberhasilan pengelolaan dualisme adat dan Gereja tanpa sistem birokratis.

This study examines the concept of compassion-based education (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) from the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy and its relevance to bullying prevention in Islamic educational institutions. The study is motivated by the tendency of modern education to emphasize cognitive achievement while giving less attention to moral and affective development, resulting in the persistence of bullying behavior in educational settings. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were collected from the works of Muslim scholars, scientific journals, and relevant literature on Islamic education and analyzed through content analysis. The findings reveal that compassion-based education is built upon the integration of moral development, purification of the heart, and the cultivation of adab (proper conduct). These elements contribute to the development of empathy, social concern, and moral awareness among students. Therefore, compassion-based education (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) has strong relevance as a preventive approach to reducing bullying behavior and fostering a more humane and supportive educational environment in Islamic educational institutions.
