The study critically examines the Gospel of John as a theological text integrating the incarnate Logos and sacramental symbolism. Using a qualitative, library-based approach with historical-critical and hermeneutical analysis, it shows that John’s Gospel not only narrates Jesus’ life but constructs a symbolic, existential, and transformative theological reflection. The Logos shifts from a metaphysical principle to a personal reality in history through the incarnation, enabling a concrete encounter between God and humanity. Within this framework, symbols such as water and bread function as media of revelation guiding individuals toward a living, relational faith experience. Furthermore, sacramental symbolism in the Gospel of John is ontologically grounded in the incarnation of the Logos. Faith is thus understood not merely as intellectual assent but as participation in divine life that transforms human existence. The integration of Christological and sacramental dimensions indicates that faith is holistic, encompassing spiritual, material, and relational aspects. Thus, the Gospel of John presents a theological vision of faith as a concrete and dynamic existential encounter, relevant for contemporary theological reflection.

Data security in Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is a crucial issue in health information governance in Indonesia. This study evaluates the compliance of health facility information security systems with Ministry of Health Regulation (PERMENKES) No. 24 of 2022 and Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) No. 27 of 2022, and analyzes the impact of non-compliance on service quality and patient trust. The method employed is a systematic narrative literature review on the Google Scholar database (2023–2026) using the keywords "data security and privacy," "electronic medical records," and "CIA Triad," focusing on the implementation of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. The four healthcare facilities examined have implemented controls such as role-based access control, Electronic Signatures (TTE), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), data encryption, and SSL/TLS protocols in accordance with PERMENKES provisions and Article 35 of the UU PDP. However, the effectiveness of implementation is hindered by weak authentication due to the use of simple passwords and excessively long auto-logout durations, the absence of comprehensive written standard operating procedures (SOPs), low staff compliance with security protocols, and minimal patient awareness regarding personal data protection rights. These weaknesses heighten the risk of patient data breaches as well as potential administrative sanctions and fines, and carry negative implications for service quality and public trust. Recommendations include strengthening internal security policies, developing written SOPs, providing continuous training for healthcare workers, implementing stronger authentication mechanisms (e.g., multi-factor authentication/MFA), and conducting patient awareness programs to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain public confidence.

This community service was carried out at the Abar traditional pottery craftsman studio "Titian Hidup" with the aim of strengthening business competitiveness through the development of branding strategies based on local wisdom.

The results of the service show that artisans are beginning to understand the concept of professional branding, including product differentiation, cultural narratives, and the use of digital technology to expand market access. In addition, this activity encourages the adaptation of artisans to modern market developments without losing the cultural roots that characterize the product.

This study aims to analyze the need for redesigning the visual identity of PHD (Peternakan Hijau Daun) Nusantara as an effort to strengthen the brand image as an arts and culture-based educational tourism destination.

This study aims to explore Christology in the Gospel of John, specifically the identity of Jesus as the pre-existent Word (Logos), His incarnation, the claim to divinity through the statement "ego eimi," unity with the Father, and its relevance for the early church and the contemporary church. The method used is a qualitative approach through literature study, with the primary source being the Gospel of John (especially John 1:1-18 and the statement "ego eimi"), supported by commentaries, theological journals, and the works of scholars such as Culpepper, Bauckham, and Dunn, analyzed in historical and theological contexts.

Meningkatnya ketergantungan pada sistem komunikasi digital telah memperkuat kebutuhan akan metode yang andal untuk melindungi data sensitif dari akses tidak sah. Studi ini memperkenalkan mekanisme keamanan terintegrasi yang menggabungkan enkripsi ChaCha20 dengan steganografi citra Least Significant Bit (LSB), yang menargetkan perlindungan data berbasis citra digital. ChaCha20, sebuah cipher aliran modern yang dikenal akan kecepatan dan keamanannya, digunakan untuk mengenkripsi pesan teks biasa (plaintext), menghasilkan ciphertext yang sangat aman. Data terenkripsi kemudian disematkan ke dalam citra sampul — khususnya, logo universitas — menggunakan teknik LSB, yang mengubah bit paling tidak signifikan dari nilai piksel untuk menyembunyikan informasi tanpa memengaruhi kualitas citra secara signifikan. Pendekatan dua lapis ini memastikan kerahasiaan dan penyembunyian informasi sensitif. Sistem ini dievaluasi menggunakan metrik objektif seperti Rasio Sinyal terhadap Derau Puncak (PSNR) dan Indeks Kesamaan Struktural (SSIM) untuk menilai fidelitas citra setelah penyisipan data. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa metode ini mempertahankan integritas visual (PSNR > 50 dB) sekaligus memungkinkan ekstraksi data yang akurat. Integrasi ChaCha20 dan steganografi LSB menawarkan solusi yang ringan, aman, dan efektif untuk perlindungan informasi digital, khususnya cocok untuk komunikasi akademis atau kelembagaan di mana gambar logo berfungsi sebagai pembawa konten terenkripsi yang tersembunyi.

The results show that Golden Kriuq successfully obtained an NIB, has a more consistent visual identity, and has a more professional digital presence. The program's impact is evident in increased awareness of legality, digital administration readiness, and businesses' ability to compete more professionally and sustainably.
