This paper examined the role of social media on mental health amidst the acceleration of digital transformation. The increasing engagement of young people in social media platforms has raised major concerns regarding its impact on psychological well-being. This study investigates that there is a strong correspondence of social media consumption and the emergence of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety and social isolation among adolescents. Data shows a significant increase in screen/mobile time among Indonesian adolescents, with average daily use exceeding global recommendations and correlating with high incidence of mental health disorders. This study utilized a comprehensive review of the existing literature, as well as engaging multiple academic sources to assess the cumulative impact of the digital Effect. Key findings suggest that excessive interaction with digital platforms potentially increases risk of cyberbullying, body image problems, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal tendencies and substance consumption. Another finding, that exposure to sexual content or pornographic sites on the internet, is a predictor of increased sexual activity and premarital sex. This is an important concern, highlighting the adverse impact of prolonged digital effects on adolescents' mental resilience and life satisfaction. This research underscores the urgent need for strategic interventions and policy frameworks to mitigate the negative effects of social media on mental health holistically.

The impact of standardization on Labor Vocational High School (SMK Labor) is felt by students, teachers, and staff, particularly in all activities related to the library information system that must comply with the procedures (SOP) established in ISO 9001:2000 SOP. The current library information system has not been audited yet, and it is not known whether it has supported the achievement of the school's vision and mission. A technique is needed to control and ensure that the library information system aligns with the organization's objectives. This is the reason why an audit of the Library Information System usage at SMAN 1 Terbanggi Besar needs to be conducted. The audit of the library information system uses the COBIT 5 framework with the Delivery, Service, and Support (DSS) domain, namely DSS.1, DSS.5, DSS.11, DSS.12, and DSS.13. The research results show that there is one process with capability level 4, which is DSS02, and there are five processes with capability level 3, namely DSS01, DSS03, DSS04, and DSS05. The overall capability level obtained based on the average is 3, which means that most of the activities in the DSS domain for the library information system at SMAN 1 Terbanggi Besar have been carried out. There are standardized implementations for these processes, and they are well-documented and communicated. This study implies that through the assessment of capability levels related to the Library Information System at SMAN 1 Terbanggi Besar, it can be continued in the future development of specific business processes, especially when there is an increasing number of customer services with diverse library service products. This can be done within the COBIT 5 audit framework.

This legal writing aims to examine and analyze the inconsistency of the Supreme Court in providing protection for well-known brands in Indonesia. This research is normative legal research that is prescriptive in nature. The approaches used in this research are the statutory approach, case approach, comparative approach and conceptual approach. This research uses primary legal materials, statutory regulations and Supreme Court decisions relating to well-known trademark disputes as well as secondary legal materials in the form of research results discussing trademark disputes. The results of this research are that the Supreme Court decisions studied in this research conclude that there is inconsistency in the Supreme Court in providing protection for well-known brands. The Supreme Court has not been able to provide an appropriate protection mechanism in dealing with the legal vacuum regarding the definition of a Famous Mark. This has implications for various interpretations in considering the popularity of a brand. The considerations given by the Supreme Court have not shown justice and continuity with the ratification of international agreements regarding the legal protection of well-known marks. Where judges should be able to refer to jurisprudence in resolving famous brand disputes, this research concludes that there are inconsistencies in this matter so that legal certainty has not been created regarding the protection of famous brands.

Bacteria are microorganisms that require adequate media and nutrients to grow and develop. The media commonly used to grow bacteria is Nutrient agar media, but the price of Nutrient agar media is quite expensive. Corn cobs are lignocellulosic wastes that contain nutrients that can meet the nutritional requirements of bacterial growth media. This study aims to investigate the viability of corn cobs as a cost-effective alternative to Nutrient agar media. Specifically, we explore the variance in bacterial colony growth when utilizing corn cobs as a growth medium for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Employing a true experimental design with a posttest-only control structure, we analyze the treatment's effects using the One Way ANOVA test and Independent Sample T-test. These statistical methods enable us to discern differences between groups utilizing corncob media with and without added sugar.Our findings reveal noteworthy insights into bacterial colony growth. For Escherichia coli, the average number of colonies on corncob media with sugar was 222 CFU/ml, on corncob media without sugar, it was 164 CFU/ml, and on Nutrient agar media, it reached 361 CFU/ml. In the case of Staphylococcus aureus, colonies on corncob media with sugar averaged 871 CFU/ml, on corncob media without sugar, they averaged 657 CFU/ml, and on Nutrient agar media, they reached 942 CFU/ml.Statistical analysis using the One Way ANOVA test for both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated p-values <0.05, signifying significant differences in their growth on corncob media with sugar, corncob media without sugar, and Nutrient agar media. Furthermore, the Independent Sample T-test results for both bacterial strains yielded p-values <0.05, indicating dissimilar growth patterns on corncob media with sugar compared to corncob media without sugar.In conclusion, our study underscores significant disparities in the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria among Nutrient agar media, corncob media with sugar, and corncob media without sugar. Notably, we observed a marked increase in bacterial colony counts on corncob media with sugar and corncob media without sugar.
