Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered children's daily routines, particularly increasing screen time, decreasing physical activity, and changing sleep duration, which may impact their physical and mental health. It is important to know how changes in physical activity and screen time can affect children's sleep duration before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This study used a quantitative analytical observational cohort study method with 240 child samples aged 6–12 years in Semarang City. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The research instrument used the SMALLQ® questionnaire. Data analysis techniques used normality tests, Spearman-Rank tests to determine correlations, and Kruskal-Wallis tests to compare data.
Results: The correlation between screen time and sleep duration was not statistically significant (p>0.05), while physical activity showed a significant positive correlation with sleep duration (r = 0.253 on weekdays, r = 0.21 weekly, p<0.05). Significant differences were found in screen time, physical activity, and sleep duration across the three periods (p<0.001), with increased screen time and decreased physical activity and sleep duration persisting post-pandemic. 
Conclusions: The pandemic led to lasting increases in screen time and decreases in physical activity and sleep duration among children. Promoting healthier routines is essential to mitigate these impacts in the new normal era.

Technological developments and globalization encourage people to develop in the transaction process. Now, conventional technology is starting to be abandoned and switched to a digitalization system, thus strengthening the balance of trade on an international scale. As one of the global e-wallets, PayPal offers convenience in cross-border transactions, but there are not many studies that specifically evaluate the level of satisfaction of Indonesian users in the application of this service. This research focuses on analyzing the level of satisfaction of using PayPal in Indonesia in cross-border transactions and examining technology acceptance factors with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) method. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires to active PayPal users in Indonesia and analyzed quantitatively using structural regression methods (SEM/PLS). The results showed that perceived ease of use, usefulness, and trust have a significant influence on user satisfaction. In addition, UTAUT 2 variables such as performance expectations, effort expectations, social influence, and hedonic value also contribute to forming positive perceptions of using PayPal. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of an international digital payment system that is more responsive to the needs of users in Indonesia.

The existence of organizations is essential because human beings, as social creatures, cannot fulfill all of their needs individually. This study examines the fundamental concepts underlying organizations. Its primary objective is to identify and understand the key elements encompassed within the basic framework of organizational theory. Employing a qualitative methodology with a literature review approach, the research draws upon digital literacy sources and other relevant data pertinent to the topic. Through analyzing various scholarly references, particularly conceptual frameworks and the Qur'anic perspective on organizational principles, this study explores definitions, essential components, organizational management principles, structural elements, and the broader social role of organizations. The findings indicate that robust theoretical foundations support organizational theory and harmonize the spiritual values embedded in Islamic teachings. Findings from the literature also emphasize that an ideal organization is not solely built upon structural systems, procedures, and work efficiency, but also supported by rooted values of ethics, morality, and spirituality deeply. 

This research conducts a comprehensive exploration of the nuanced dimensions surrounding the role and protection of victims of sexual violence against children in Indonesia, with a specific focus on Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs, employing a normative juridical methodology. The study aims to reveal legal intricacies in victim form and protection throughout the judicial proceedings outlined in Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs, utilizing secondary sources such as laws, regulations, books, legal journal articles, and media coverage. Employing a descriptive analytical approach, the research identifies two pivotal dimensions. Firstly, victims of sexual violence against children in Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs exhibit vulnerability, easily persuadable traits, and compromised mental and physical conditions. External factors, including determinants of life, personality, and education, further contribute to the complexity of their roles. Secondly, an exploration of victim protection within the decision reveals that not all legally stipulated safeguards are embraced, with the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) providing no support due to a lack of initiative from the family or law enforcement officials. Despite this, non-juridical protections, particularly in health, were identified, such as post-mortem medical treatment. To enhance comprehensiveness, the study incorporates perspectives of advocacy and victim protection, critically examining the efficacy of advocacy initiatives and evaluating existing frameworks for both juridical and non-juridical protection. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a holistic understanding of challenges and opportunities in safeguarding victims of sexual violence against children within the context of Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs.

This research examines the relationship between stock returns and the financial performance of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) before, during, and after the Covid-19 epidemic (2018–2019, 2020–2021, and 2022–2023). Financial performance indicators are the return on invested capital (ROIC), earnings per share (EPS), working capital turnover, total asset turnover, cash ratio, debt-to-equity Ratio, debt-to-asset Ratio, Current Ratio, and cash ratio. The study's primary sources are BUMN's annual financial reports and stock price data. A multiple linear regression model examined the connection between stock returns and financial performance. According to the findings, the variables influencing stock returns varied throughout time. Before the pandemic, cash ratio and earnings per share (EPS) significantly enhanced stock returns, reflecting investor attention to liquidity and profitability during economic stability. During the pandemic, total asset turnover emerged as the key variable impacting stock returns, emphasizing the necessity for efficient asset management amidst economic uncertainty. After the pandemic, earnings per share (EPS) and return on invested capital (ROIC) became the most influential factors, indicating investors' focus on profitability and the ability to generate investment returns. The study concludes that the COVID-19 epidemic has significantly impacted the correlation between stock returns and financial performance. These results provide corporate management and investors with important information for creating flexible financial plans that adjust to shifting market conditions.
