Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability, especially in the elderly population. The impact of stroke is not only limited to physical activity, but also greatly affects the psychosocial condition of the sufferer. From a psychological aspect, stroke sufferers often experience various complex emotional disorders. Research tends to be deep sadness, anger, disappointment, and feelings of helplessness. One of the significant psychosocial problems experienced by stroke survivors is a decrease in low self-esteem. Methods: The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. The data source in this study came from informants. This research was conducted at Royal Prima Hospital, Jambi City. Results: Based on the results of the research that has been conducted, it was found that stroke patients experience various psychological changes due to physical limitations that arise after having a stroke. Family support is the most influential factor in the psychological condition of stroke patients.  Families who always accompany patients are able to help patients accept sick conditions and increase patient morale during the rehabilitation process. However, the results of the study show that psychological support from nurses is still not fully optimal. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, stroke patients experience psychological changes such as feeling embarrassed, insecure, feeling a burden on the family, withdrawing from the social environment, and losing their zest for life due to physical limitations. This condition shows that the stroke has an impact not only on the physical, but also on the psychological of the patient. Family support in the form of attention, motivation, affection, mentoring, and medical assistance is very helpful in increasing the patient's enthusiasm and confidence during rehabilitation. Nurses also play a role in the recovery process through health education, motivation, and treatment assistance. However, emotional support and therapeutic communication from nurses are still not optimal because services are more focused on medical measures.

Taxpayer compliance is a crucial factor in optimizing state revenue to support national development financing independently. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of taxpayer compliance in Indonesia by examining two main aspects: individual awareness and the effectiveness of the tax system. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review of various national journals from the last five years. The findings indicate that taxpayer compliance is influenced not only by internal factors such as knowledge, awareness, and tax morale but also by external factors such as tax service quality, system digitalization, and regulatory complexity. Tax reforms and the implementation of digital systems such as e-filing and e-billing have been proven to significantly increase taxpayer compliance through ease of access and reporting efficiency. However, real challenges remain, such as low community tax literacy and perceptions of unfairness regarding the management of tax funds by the government. Therefore, a strong synergy is needed between increasing public awareness through continuous education and improving the taxation system to create sustainable and optimal compliance. Improving transparency and accountability in the management of tax funds is a strategic step to strengthen public trust in tax authorities in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation on employee productivity at Kerupuk Uenak Bu Rina, a home-based industry in Boyolali. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and direct observation at the business location. The results indicate that work motivation derived from internal factors such as satisfaction with received wages and a familial work environment, as well as external factors in the form of appreciation from the owner, significantly influence employee morale and work output.

This research provides practical contributions regarding the importance of paying attention to human resource aspects in managing operational risks and improving the performance of small-scale businesses.

This study aims to examine the influence of tax awareness, tax knowledge, and tax morale on the level of individual taxpayer compliance. Income tax plays a strategic role as the primary source of financing for government expenditures in supporting national development. However, the level of taxpayer compliance in submitting Annual Tax Returns (SPT) continues to show a downward trend over time. This condition indicates a problem with compliance behavior influenced by various internal factors within taxpayers. Therefore, government efforts are needed to increase tax awareness, expand tax knowledge, and strengthen tax morale among the public. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with a random sampling technique. The research sample consisted of 30 individual taxpayers registered at the Kediri Pratama Tax Service Office (KPP Pratama). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS software. The results show that tax awareness, tax knowledge, and tax morale have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously.

Tax fairness has become a central concern in improving individual taxpayer compliance in Indonesia, particularly amid increasingly complex regulations and declining public trust in fiscal institutions. This study stems from the urgent need to understand how individual taxpayers interpret the notion of tax fairness and how these interpretations shape their willingness to comply. The primary objective is to explore the underlying dimensions of tax fairness procedural, distributive, and interactional and to explain how these dimensions relate to the development of voluntary compliance. Employing an interpretive qualitative approach, this research relies on in-depth interviews with 15 individual taxpayers located in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Medan, selected through purposive sampling. The data were examined using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to uncover recurring themes and the subjective experiences shared by participants. Findings reveal that perceptions of procedural and interactional fairness exert the strongest influence on compliance behavior, while distributive fairness is often viewed negatively due to perceived inequality in public benefit allocation and the complexity of tax rules. Trust in government and social morality emerge as critical mediators linking fairness perceptions to voluntary compliance. The study contributes theoretically by integrating Equity Theory, Tax Morale Theory, and the Slippery Slope Framework within the Indonesian cultural context, emphasizing that tax fairness forms the moral foundation of voluntary compliance. Practical implications highlight the need for equitable public services, stronger fiscal transparency, and value-based tax education. Future research is encouraged to adopt mixed-methods designs to provide deeper quantitative insights into the relationship between fairness, trust, and tax compliance across diverse social settings.

Externally, the community's reliance on donations for funding leaves it vulnerable to fluctuations in contributions, and digital security threats pose risks to the integrity of the information shared across platforms.

Football supporters are often referred to as the "12th player" due to their crucial role in creating a lively match atmosphere and boosting players' morale. Nearly every province or city in Indonesia has its own football club and a passionate fanbase. Notable examples include The Jakmania (supporters of Persija Jakarta), Bobotoh (Persib Bandung), and Bonek (Persebaya Surabaya).

The results showed that work-family balance contributed 65% to work engagement in employees in LDM. These findings indicate that the higher the level of work-family balance, the higher the employee's engagement in their work. Therefore, it is important for organizations to create policies and work environments that support work-family balance, especially for employees in long-distance marriages.

This study was conducted to analyze the influence of transformational leadership and work morale on employee performance at company X, both partially and simultaneously. The study used a quantitative approach with a causal associative design aimed at testing the cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The study population consisted of 37 permanent employees who were also sampled using a total sampling technique, so that the entire population was represented in the study. The main instrument for data collection was a questionnaire using a Likert scale, which allows respondents to provide measurable answers.
