This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, focusing on the development of pragmatic thinking in Western and Islamic traditions and its contribution to contemporary education. Data were obtained through literature reviews from books, scientific journals, and previous research results. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques to identify similarities and differences in Western and Islamic pragmatic thinking. The results of the study indicate that Western pragmatism developed through Peirce, James, and Dewey, who emphasized truth based on practical consequences and usefulness in life. Islamic pragmatism, although not explicit, is reflected in the thoughts of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun, who combine revelation with empirical experience and public welfare. The contribution of pragmatism to contemporary education includes: (1) educational goals oriented towards social experiences and problem-solving; (2) the position of students as active subjects with growth capacity; (3) curriculum development that is flexible, experience-based, and adaptive to social changes. this research states that Western and Islamic pragmatism both provide important contributions to contemporary education, shifting the focus from knowledge transfer to the development of competencies and characters that are relevant.  

This study examines the impact of Pentagon Fraud factors on FSF, with WBS as a moderation variable, focusing on Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) from 2021 to 2024. The Pentagon’s Fraud Theory encompasses five key elements: pressure, opportunity, rationalization, competence, and arrogance, each of which is represented by financial stability, ineffective monitoring, the quality of auditors, the experience of directors, and CEO pictures. This study aims to determine how these factors affect financial reporting that contains fraud, and whether WBS can strengthen or weaken the relationship between the two. Using a quantitative approach with secondary data from the annual reports of 104 SOEs, thisi study applied panel data regression method. FSF was measured using the Beneish M-Score, while the effect of moderation was tested through moderated regression analysis. The results of this study are expected to provide deeper insights into the dynamics of fraud in the public sector and highlight the importance of WBS as a governance tool in reducing the risk of fraud. The study contributes to the previous literature by integrating a comprehensive fraud framework and testing it with moderation mechanisms, while also focusing on specific institutional contexts (SOEs), which have not been explicity explored in previous studies.

The findings indicate that Islamic Work Ethics and AKHLAK core values have a positive and significant influence on employee performance.

Currently, patients experiencing early symptoms of skin disease caused by the exanthema virus are unable to immediately consult a dermatologist due to the high cost and limited time available for specialists in hospitals. Therefore, the author needs to develop an expert system application that can address this issue. Through this application, users can consult with the system, much like an expert, to diagnose their symptoms and find solutions to their problems. This expert system is designed to provide answers based on whether the symptoms are correct or not, or to provide several recommended answer choices based on the symptoms. To diagnose skin disease caused by the exanthema virus, the author used the Case-Based Reasoning method. The CBR method is a weighting technique that compares new cases with previous cases. The diagnosis is based on data provided by the patient and expert, which is then analyzed using case-based reasoning and stored as a knowledge database in the expert system. Therefore, this expert system can help identify solutions for problems experienced by patients suffering from skin disease caused by the Exanthema Virus.

Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder that disrupts cognition, emotion, perception, and behavior, significantly affecting daily functioning and social interaction. Paranoid schizophrenia, a well-recognized subtype, is characterized by persistent paranoid delusions, frequently accompanied by hallucinations—most commonly auditory—and other perceptual disturbances, often leading to unpredictable or aggressive behaviors. A 34-year-old male patient, Mr. A, was brought to Cut Meutia General Hospital on February 9, 2024, by his father and the village chief due to episodes of aggression. The patient reported that his behavior occurred because a creature was controlling his body and disturbing him. His family indicated that he had experienced similar episodes in the past and had previously been hospitalized for the same condition. Based on established clinical guidelines, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Pharmacological management was initiated, including risperidone, clozapine, lodemer injection, diazepam injection, divalproex, and trihexyphenidyl, targeting psychotic symptoms, agitation, and behavioral disturbances, with the aim of stabilizing his mental state, preventing further aggressive episodes, and supporting overall functional recovery.

In addition, digital narratives can build emotional connectedness that strengthens moral feeling and encourages students’ moral action in daily life. These findings imply that project-based digital storytelling can serve as an innovative pedagogical strategy to reinforce character education in schools, especially in facing the challenges posed by technological development and behavioral changes in the digital generation.

This study aims to design and analyze a more effective Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning model by integrating humanistic principles with Islamic spirituality. This integration is important because traditional IRE learning has largely focused on cognitive mastery, while affective and spiritual dimensions have not been developed optimally. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research reviews books, academic journals, and previous studies relevant to humanistic and spiritual-based learning. Content analysis is then employed to identify thematic patterns that explain how both approaches can strengthen one another within the IRE learning process. The findings reveal that integrating humanistic and spiritual elements results in deeper, more reflective, and transformative learning experiences. The humanistic approach allows students to develop self-awareness, value personal experiences, and fulfill emotional needs, whereas Islamic spirituality reinforces the values of tawhid, moral character, and divine consciousness. Teachers play a crucial role as facilitators who guide students through learning experiences that combine humanistic empathy and Islamic values. Authentic assessment methods such as reflection journals, moral portfolios, and behavioral observations are used to evaluate student development. Overall, this study concludes that an IRE learning design grounded in both humanistic and spiritual approaches can foster intellectually capable, emotionally mature, and spiritually grounded learners who are well-prepared to face the challenges of the digital era.

Panorama Sileme-Leme is a tourist destination in Humbang Hasundutan Regency, specifically in Huta Sileme-Leme, Parsingguran 2 Village, Pollung District, located at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level. The beautiful natural panorama with Lake Toba as its backdrop and surrounded by expansive plantations makes it an ideal recreational spot. However, the supporting facilities in this area are insufficient to accommodate various recreational activities that could potentially be conducted there. Therefore, landscape planning and the provision of tourist facilities are necessary to make the area more attractive to visitors. The initial idea behind this concept is to plan the Sileme-leme Panorama area as an attractive tourism destination equipped with various supporting facilities for tourism activities. However, because it is located in a hilly area prone to landslides, the concept of a pine forest tourism area was implemented. In addition to enhancing aesthetics and visitor comfort, its primary function is to minimize landslides because pine trees are known as effective soil-stabilizing vegetation. In addition, the pine forest tourism landscape can also have interesting spots such as tall, shady pine trees, restaurants or cafes with views of the pine forest,  and also play areas for children. This helps enhance the visitor's tourism experience and makes them feel close to nature and the beauty of the pine forest. The planning of the Sileme-leme Panorama Area uses a semi-pine forest concept supplemented with various tourism facilities. The implementation of this concept has been considered through various analyses conducted previously. With the implementation of the semi-pine forest concept, it is hoped that the natural potential will not change significantly, and the preservation of nature in this area will remain intact. This planning is expected to make Panorama Sileme-leme a more developed tourist attraction and more appealing to visitors. Additionally, this planning is anticipated to boost the local community's economy.

This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine how key dimensions of digital service quality—namely system quality, ease of use, perceived value, and payment availability—shape customer loyalty among Generation Z culinary consumers, with customer satisfaction functioning as the mediating variable. Bibliometric mapping reveals that previous studies have predominantly focused on Millennials and Gen Y and have emphasized traditional service quality rather than digital service performance, indicating a significant research gap in Gen Z–specific digital consumption behavior. The SLR findings show that fast, secure, stable, and user-friendly digital systems strongly influence perceived value and user satisfaction, while the availability of digital payments such as QRIS and e-wallets enhances seamless transactional experiences. Customer satisfaction emerges as the primary psychological mechanism mediating the relationship between digital service quality and Gen Z loyalty, reflected in repeat purchases, positive word of mouth, and emotional attachment to digital culinary platforms. This study contributes theoretically by addressing existing research gaps and proposing a conceptual model of Gen Z loyalty grounded in digital experience.

This study aims to understand the meaning of halal lifestyle for Generation Z Muslim consumers in East Java through a phenomenological approach. In recent years, the concept of halal lifestyle is no longer limited to food and beverage consumption, but has expanded to include fashion, skincare, digital services, and even social media interactions. Generation Z, as digital natives, interprets halal not only as a religious rule, but also as an identity, a social trend, and a form of self-actualization. This study integrates the results of previous empirical studies that show that halal awareness, religious education, marketing strategies, and the influence of public figures play a significant role in shaping halal behavior among the younger generation. The results of the literature review indicate that Generation Z in East Java experiences complex dynamics in adopting a halal lifestyle, ranging from identity dilemmas, ethical challenges, to the influence of local culture. This phenomenological study confirms that halal lifestyle is a multidimensional phenomenon influenced by spiritual values, consumption rationality, and digital interactions. These findings are expected to provide a conceptual contribution to the study of Muslim consumer behavior and form the basis for developing a halal industry that is more adaptive to the characteristics of the younger generation..

This research is inspired by the extraordinary success of the domestic animated film titled Jumbo, which managed to set a new record and trigger a wave of overwhelmingly positive sentiment responses on the Instagram social media platform. Its main focus is to provide a deep qualitative interpretation of audience sentiment data that was previously collected and quantitatively evaluated by Prasetia (2025) from 764 original comments, which were then filtered down to 221 samples. The approach applied involves secondary data analysis by reviewing the frequency of Prasetia's data through the lens of social identity theory and collective efficacy theory. The results of the analysis reveal that the prevalence of positive sentiment at 68.7% does not merely reflect a simple evaluation of the film but also serves as a fundamental expression of shared pride and in-group preference. Expressions of support that emphasize appreciation for the achievement and national pride over the work of local creators act as a tool for strengthening social bonds, reinforcing the national identity linked to achievements in the film sector while also demonstrating the audience's collective belief in the potential of the domestic animation industry (mastery experience). Practically, the recommendation for local film promotion strategies is to highlight narratives about shared accomplishment and national pride to build audience loyalty and continuous interaction in the digital environment.

Self-disclosure is an interpersonal communication process in which individuals voluntarily share personal information that is typically unknown to others. This research focuses on the self-disclosure of male students to Guidance and Counseling teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Pulau Maya, aiming to explore the factors influencing their openness and its impact on their personal and emotional development. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the study collected data from 33 male students through a questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The results revealed that the students demonstrated a high level of self-disclosure with a score of 87.04%, indicating a strong sense of comfort and trust in sharing personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences with their BK teacher. The study also found that both internal factors, such as self-confidence and social acceptance, and external factors, such as supportive school environments and teacher-student relationships, significantly contributed to students' openness. The findings support previous research that self-disclosure promotes emotional well-being and stress management. Based on these results, it is recommended that teachers create a safe and supportive environment to encourage self-disclosure, helping students develop better emotional and social skills. Furthermore, more programs that facilitate open communication, such as group counseling sessions, should be implemented to support students' personal development.

Maternal knowledge of newborn care plays an important role in maintaining neonatal health and preventing early complications. Parity is considered one of the factors that affect the mother's level of knowledge, as previous childbirth experiences can improve the understanding and skills of caring for the baby. However, primipara mothers often face challenges due to limited experience. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parity and newborn care knowledge in primipara mothers at the Tumpunglaung Health Center. The research method uses an analytical quantitative design with a cross-cutting approach. The study population was mothers who had just given birth at the Tumpunglaung Health Center, with a sample of 30 primipara mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included maternal characteristics and newborn care knowledge, including breastfeeding, hygiene, thermoregulation, and red flags. Data analysis was carried out by Chi-square test using SPSS at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that most primitive mothers had moderate to low levels of knowledge, with a significant relationship between parity and newborn care knowledge. The conclusion of the study confirms the importance of strengthening education and counseling for primitive mothers to improve infant care practices and support neonatal health.

This research discusses the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 regarding the minimum age requirement for presidential and vice-presidential candidates as stipulated in Article 169 letter q of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. In that decision, the Constitutional Court ruled that the age limit of 40 years remains in effect, but with an exception for candidates who are not yet 40 years old but have previously or are currently serving as regional heads. This research employs a normative juridical method with legislative and conceptual approaches, analyzing primary legal materials such as the 1945 Constitution, Election Law, and Constitutional Court decisions, supported by secondary legal materials from academic literature and journals. The research findings indicate that the Constitutional Court's considerations are based on the principles of citizens' constitutional rights, open legal policy, and the idea of leadership experience as an alternative age requirement. This decision has positive implications, including opportunities for leadership regeneration and increased political participation by young people, but it also draws criticism for its potential to discriminate against non-regional leaders and create political suspicion. Therefore, a revision of the Election Law is needed to clarify the legal norms resulting from the Constitutional Court's decision so that it does not lead to multiple interpretations and maintains the principle of equality. This research concludes that the Constitutional Court's decision is an opportunity to strengthen democracy, but also a challenge in ensuring constitutional justice in Indonesia.

University students frequently face various academic demands, such as coursework, research, field practice, and examinations. These pressures may lead to psychological stress that can trigger anxiety. If not properly managed, anxiety can negatively affect academic performance, social interactions, and students’ psychological well-being. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the intensity of Qur’an recitation and the level of anxiety among students. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 103 students from the Department of Psychology, Padang State University as participants. The sampling technique used was nonprobability sampling with a purposive sampling approach. The instruments consisted of the Qur’an Reading Intensity Scale adapted from Pradika (2014) with a reliability coefficient of 0.721, and the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale with a reliability coefficient of 0.829. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation test. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between the intensity of Qur’an recitation and students’ anxiety levels (r = -0.801; p = 0.000 < 0.05). This indicates that the more frequently students read the Qur’an, the lower their anxiety levels, and vice versa. Categorization results further showed that most students had a high intensity of Qur’an recitation (42.7%) and experienced low to moderate levels of anxiety (78.7%). These results reinforce previous studies suggesting that spiritual practices such as Qur’an recitation can serve as an effective spiritual coping strategy to foster tranquility, regulate emotions, and strengthen resilience in facing academic stressors. Therefore, Qur’an recitation can be recommended as a complementary approach to maintaining students’ mental health in higher education settings.
