This study aims to analyze the manifestation of Indonesian unity values within the local wisdom of Kresnayana in Blitar Regency, particularly through the “Hasta Brata” performance. As a multicultural nation, Indonesia possesses diversity that represents both potential and challenge; therefore, strengthening unity values through various media, including local wisdom, is essential. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the experiences and involvement of cultural actors in the Kresnayana performance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review using snowball sampling techniques, and were analyzed inductively through data reduction, triangulation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Kresnayana, which originates from the reliefs of Penataran Temple, functions not only as a medium for cultural preservation but also as a means of educating unity values. In the “Hasta Brata” performance, the value of unity is reflected in the complementary relationship between Arjuna and Kresna; the value of togetherness is demonstrated through the cooperation between Anoman and Arjuna; the value of patriotism is evident in efforts to maintain world peace; and the value of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is illustrated through the unity of characters from diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, the festival serves as a contextual learning medium in Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) and supports the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile. Thus, Kresnayana represents a concrete manifestation of the implementation of unity values in community life through a local cultural approach.

This study aims to analyze the actualization of Pancasila values in the Articles of Association and Bylaws (AD/ART) of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) in Panggungrejo District, Blitar Regency. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to understand the experiences and views of informants regarding the application of Pancasila values in organizational practice. Data were collected through structured interviews, field observations, organizational documentation, and validated using triangulation of sources, techniques, and time.

These findings confirm that the AD/ART functions as a connecting instrument that integrates material, vital, and moral values, thereby creating an organizational structure that aligns with Pancasila. This study has important implications for strengthening the character and ethics of organizations based on national values at the local level.

Generasi Muda Pembangunan Indonesia (GMPI) is a youth organization that functions as a party wing organization and plays a strategic role in providing political education for the cadres of the United Development Party (PPP). Political education is essential to improve cadre quality in terms of ideological knowledge, organizational capacity, and readiness to participate in political activities. This study aims to analyze the role of GMPI in political education, examine the institutional relationship between GMPI and PPP, and identify the challenges and obstacles faced in its implementation. This research employs a qualitative approach using primary and secondary data sources. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that GMPI actively conducts political education through cadre development programs, guidance activities, and capacity building. The political education implemented by GMPI has a positive impact on improving the quality of PPP cadres, particularly in political understanding, discipline, and participation in party activities. However, GMPI still encounters several constraints, including limited resources, program consistency issues, and internal organizational dynamics. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening the role of youth organizations as sustainable instruments of political education. The implications of this study encourage political parties to enhance youth cadre development synergy in order to produce qualified, competent, and sustainable political cadres.

Mopotilro Dance is a traditional dance originating from South Bolaang Mongondow Regency that functions as a welcoming dance for guests in customary ceremonies. Academically, this dance has not yet been examined in depth. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the Mopotilro Dance from the perspective of its performance structure, particularly as presented at the anniversary celebration of the Persatuan Relawan Muda Molibagu (PEREDAM) community. The research focuses on several aspects of the dance presentation, including: (1) movement, (2) number of dancers, (3) makeup and costume, (4) musical accompaniment, (5) floor patterns, (6) properties used, and (7) performance space. This study employs a qualitative research method with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation, which are used to describe the data and draw conclusions. The results indicate that the presentation of the Mopotilro Dance at the PEREDAM anniversary event is not found in other occasions. This condition suggests that public understanding of the Mopotilro Dance as part of local cultural heritage remains limited. The lack of academic studies on the performance structure of the Mopotilro Dance is one of the factors contributing to its rare appearance in various events.

Globalization is a term that has to do with the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence between nations and people around the world through trade, investment, travel, popular culture, and other forms of interaction, so that the boundaries of a country become increasingly narrow. The values of Pancasila, especially the values contained in the third principle, namely "Indonesian Unity," are very relevant and important to be actualized in everyday life. The author uses the Literature Study method, which is defined by Nazir (2013) as a systematic process of tracing various literature sources relevant to the research topic to obtain the necessary information and materials. The results showed that the Third Precept of Pancasila has a very strategic role in facing challenges in the era of globalization. By instilling the values of unity, Indonesia can maintain national identity, overcome economic challenges, preserve culture, increase tolerance, and strengthen political positions in the international arena

This study aims to explore the implementation of unity-based marketing management in enhancing consumer loyalty among university students at the Seblak Bujangan culinary microenterprise. As one of the local SMEs located near Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University, Seblak Bujangan integrates the value of unity—derived from the Third Principle of Pancasila—into its marketing strategy, not only to attract customers but also to create a social space that strengthens community bonds.

This approach provides new insights into value-based marketing for SMEs, showing that economic and social functions can coexist to create sustainable consumer relationships.

This study aims to examine the influence of financial literacy, financial technology, and financial behavior on investment decisions among students at the Universitas Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia Semarang. The data used in this study is primary data, obtained through the distribution of questionnaires via Google Forms to students at the Universitas Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia Semarang. The population of this study consists of students from the university, and the sampling technique used is probability sampling with purposive sampling. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%. The analysis tool used in this study is SPSS 26 to process and analyze the data. This study tests three hypotheses: H1, which states that financial literacy does not significantly affect investment decisions, H2, which states that financial technology does not significantly affect investment decisions, and H3, which states that financial behavior significantly affects investment decisions. The results of the study indicate that H1 is accepted, meaning that financial literacy does not significantly influence investment decisions. On H2, the results also show that financial technology does not significantly affect investment decisions. However, for H3, the results show that financial behavior significantly influences investment decisions. Therefore, it can be concluded that while financial literacy and financial technology do not have a significant impact on students' investment decisions, financial behavior plays a more dominant role in influencing their investment decisions. This study provides valuable insights for universities and other educational institutions to focus more on improving students' financial behavior as a strategic step in enhancing the quality of investment decisions

This study examines the practice of reciprocity within the persatuan barang (goods-sharing) group during the implementation of the rewang tradition in Desa Banglas, Kecamatan Tebing Tinggi, Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti. The main focus of the research is to identify the various forms of exchange that occur, whether in the form of money, goods, or labor. A narrative qualitative approach was used, with data collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, archival review, and documentation of bookkeeping records. The subjects of this research are members of the persatuan barang group who actively participate in social and cultural events in the village. The findings reveal three types of reciprocity: generalized, balanced, and negative. Generalized reciprocity is evident in voluntary contributions without expecting immediate return, often practiced among close kin or neighbors. Balanced reciprocity is demonstrated through exchanges of equal value with a certain expectation of timely return, particularly during communal events like weddings or funerals. Negative reciprocity, although rare, involves unequal exchanges that may lead to social tensions or perceptions of unfairness. These findings indicate that the persatuan barang group functions not only as an informal economic mechanism but also as a cultural institution that fosters mutual assistance, reinforces social cohesion, and preserves traditional values. The exchange systems operate within an implicit moral economy that prioritizes collective welfare over individual gain. Additionally, the tradition of rewang and the organizational role of persatuan barang highlight the resilience and adaptability of indigenous practices in supporting rural livelihoods amid changing socioeconomic conditions. The study suggests that such local systems of reciprocity play a vital role in sustaining social capital, strengthening community identity, and ensuring social security in the absence of formal welfare structures. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of these practices on community resilience and rural development.

The balance between the rights and obligations of husband and wife is a fundamental pillar in building a harmonious household according to Islamic teachings. However, there is still a significant lack of understanding among the community, especially among women, regarding the roles and responsibilities of each partner in married life. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of outreach activities regarding the rights and obligations of husband and wife from the perspective of Islamic Law, delivered to members of the PWBI (Persatuan Wanita Batak Indonesia)  Kwala Bekala. The method used is a qualitative-descriptive approach, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation during the outreach activity. The results of the study show that the outreach was effective in enhancing participants’ understanding of the fundamental principles of marital relationships in Islamic law, such as the concept of male leadership, consultation (shura), justice, and the importance of communication and mutual respect. The activity also had a positive impact on participants’ legal and religious awareness in managing their household lives. Such activities need to be expanded further to strengthen Muslim family resilience based on Islamic values.

This study discusses the legal consequences of the absence of a marriage agreement on marital property according to the Indonesian legal system, especially based on the Civil Code and the Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974. By default, the absence of a marriage agreement leads to the enactment of a system of property union, in which all property acquired during the marriage is considered joint property. This condition has various legal implications, such as the vulnerability of personal property to third-party claims, difficulties in proving ownership of inherited property, and potential conflicts in the division of property in the event of divorce or death of one of the spouses. This study also highlights the difference in the regulation in Islamic law that does not recognize the automatic union of property, but still has the potential to cause disputes if there is no written agreement. The research method used is empirical normative with a qualitative approach, examining positive legal provisions and practices that develop in society. The results of the study show that low public understanding and negative stigma towards marriage agreements are the main factors in the low making of these agreements. The Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015 which allows the making of agreements during the marriage period expands legal protection, but its implementation still faces challenges. This study recommends the need to increase legal education and socialization on the importance of marriage agreements to provide certainty and fair legal protection for the parties in the institution of marriage.    

The rapid changes in Indonesia's socio-political landscape have highlighted the urgency of reconstructing the governance of civil society organizations, especially in balancing the tension between the freedom of association and public order. This tension has emerged as a contemporary trend filled with controversy and civil unrest. This study aims to formulate a model of governance for civil society organizations based on Islamic values, using three theoretical frameworks: Najm al-Din al-Tufi's Maṣlaḥah Theory, Robert Putnam's Civil Society Theory, and Mark Bevir's Good Governance Theory. The methodology used is a qualitative-descriptive approach, which includes data collection through policy documentation, digital media analysis, and in-depth interviews with two key informants from religious-based civil society organizations—Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Persatuan Islam (PERSIS). Primary sources include official government documents such as Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perpu) No. 2 of 2017 and Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 57 of 2017, alongside empirical narratives from community leaders. The research findings suggest that the social legitimacy of civil society organizations is more influenced by the practical application of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah (obligatory duties) and their ability to address the real needs of society than by mere adherence to administrative regulations. These findings highlight the gap between legality and legitimacy and emphasize that integrating the values of maṣlaḥah (benefit), social capital, and transparency is essential to strengthening civil society in a democratic state. By embedding Islamic values into the governance models, civil society organizations can better serve the community while maintaining democratic principles, creating a more inclusive and beneficial governance framework that aligns with both public needs and Islamic teachings.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Civic and Pancasila Education (PPKn) in instilling the spirit of unity and integrity among elementary school (SD) students. Using a qualitative approach through a literature review method, this research examines various scholarly works and relevant studies to develop effective and contextual PPKn learning strategies. The findings reveal that PPKn plays a strategic role in shaping national character through the understanding of national values, legal norms, and national identity. Programs such as “Sahabat Pancasila” serve as successful examples of implementing unity values in real school settings. However, challenges remain, such as the lack of variety in teaching methods and the low level of students' affective engagement. Therefore, recommended strategies include value-based learning models, contextual approaches, and regular teacher training. This research is expected to contribute to the development of character education policies and strengthen the role of PPKn in nurturing a young generation that is patriotic and tolerant.

Early childhood health is an important aspect that must be maintained consistently, especially in preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

This research is entitled "Actualization of the Content and Teachings of the Principles in Pancasila to Increase Unity and Oneness in National and State Life". This study aims to analyze the problems that arise in the process of actualizing Pancasila values, especially in the context of unity amidst social diversity. Identification of problems includes low public understanding of Pancasila, minimal participation in social activities, and social injustice that hinders harmony. This study uses a qualitative approach by collecting data through literature studies and interviews. The results of the study indicate that a shallow understanding of Pancasila often causes people to emphasize differences rather than similarities, thus increasing the potential for division. In addition, the rampant inaccurate information on social media worsens the situation. This study recommends the need to increase education and socialization regarding Pancasila, as well as the development of more inclusive policies to encourage active public participation. With this, it is hoped that Pancasila can be actualized as a guideline for life that strengthens the unity of the Indonesian nation, in accordance with the spirit of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.
