The phenomenon of the development of digital da'wah through YouTube has become an effective means of conveying Islamic values to the younger generation, where university students play a strategic role in critically and objectively assessing the effectiveness of online da'wah. This study examines the influence of da'wah messages delivered through the Ustadz Adi Hidayat Official YouTube channel on the religious behavior of students at the Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara Medan. This research employs a quantitative method with a correlational approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 students selected using purposive sampling. The validity and reliability of the research instruments were tested using SPSS software. Hypothesis testing was conducted using simple linear regression, specifically the t-test. The results show a significant positive influence of the da'wah messages on the Ustadz Adi Hidayat Official YouTube channel on students' religious behavior. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.435 indicates that 43.5% of the students' religious behavior can be explained by the da'wah message variable. The significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05) indicates the relationship is statistically significant. Conclusion: The digital da'wah content on the official YouTube channel of the Ustadz Adi Hidayat significantly contributes to increasing students' religiosity.

Stunting remains one of the major public health issues at the national level in Indonesia. As an archipelagic country, Indonesia faces unique challenges in tackling stunting, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare services. Advances in information technology offer new opportunities to support stunting prevention efforts, including through the utilization of health data. Such data can be used to detect stunting risks early and to monitor children's nutritional status more effectively. The use of health data applications or systems by Posyandu cadres is influenced by various factors, including availability of time, cost, level of trust, and perceptions of ease of use and usefulness. This study aims to identify the determinants of health data utilization by Posyandu cadres for toddlers as a stunting prevention effort in Geneng Subdistrict, Ngawi Regency. This research is an analytical quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 80 Posyandu cadres for toddlers in Geneng Subdistrict was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression tests to identify the factors influencing the use of health data in stunting prevention. The results show that the significant determinants include the age of the Posyandu cadre, their education level, and the amount of time they dedicate to Posyandu activities. The determinants of age, education level, and time significantly influence the utilization of health data and thereby affect the optimization of stunting prevention. Strengthening cadre capacity in these aspects is necessary to support more effective stunting prevention.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death globally and is particularly prevalent in Indonesia. Early prediction of stroke is critical to reducing the risk of long-term disability and mortality. This study aims to build a stroke prediction model using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification method. The dataset used is sourced from Kaggle, containing 5,110 records with class imbalance. To address the imbalance, the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied during preprocessing. The study evaluates model performance across multiple data splits (70:30, 80:20, 90:10) and k-fold cross-validation values (k=5, 7, 10). The SVM was tested with various kernel types—linear, polynomial, and radial basis function (RBF)—along with parameter tuning for C, gamma, and degree. The results show that the polynomial kernel yielded the highest prediction accuracy of 92%. The model performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics.

Since the launch of the “Bilingual Policy for all schools supported by Yayasan Pendidikan Katolik (YPK) Don Bosco KAM in 2030,” schools have debated its impact. Teachers of non-English subject express concern about adapting, while parents fear their children may struggle with bilingual instruction. This study investigates how students, teachers, parents, and staff at Private Senior High School of Santo Yoseph Medan perceive the Bilingual education policy decided by YPK Don Bosco KAM in 2030. The research explores key concerns: the necessity of the policy, its effect on local languages, feasibility by 2030, budget sufficiency, availability of qualified teachers, and whether non-English subject teachers can teach bilingually. A questionnaire with seven questions was distributed to 40 participants in Indonesian and later translated into English. Results show 60% believe bilingual education is essential, 10% disagree, 25% are uncertain, and 5% have no opinion. While over half support the policy, challenges remain, including limited funding, a shortage of trained bilingual teachers, and the need for more English classes and learning materials. Successful implementation requires the Don Bosco Catholic Education Foundation to increase funding and address these challenges to ensure smooth integration of bilingual education by 2030.

So it is important to examine the relationship between zuhud and psychological well-being so that we can understand how spiritual teachings can support mental health amid the challenges of modern life. This study used a qualitative research method with a literature review for the research process. The results of this study concluded that Zuhud is an attitude that releases dependence from the worldly and prioritizes spirituality in the hereafter, by applying zuhud plays a very positive role in shaping inner calm, self-control, and can be grateful at all times.

The development of digital technology has driven significant changes in advertising strategies in Indonesia. However, this transformation has also brought new challenges in maintaining ethical standards in marketing communications. This study aims to examine the extent to which the Indonesian Advertising Ethics (Etika Pariwara Indonesia/EPI) is applied in digital advertising practices. Using a qualitative approach and document analysis, this research analyzes several digital advertisements suspected of violating religious, ethical, and consumer protection principles, including honesty and social responsibility. The findings reveal that despite the existence of formal regulations, violations of EPI provisions still occur—particularly on digital platforms that are difficult to monitor directly. This study highlights the importance of strengthening regulations, educating industry players, and encouraging active public participation in monitoring advertising content. Thus, advertising ethics are expected to be preserved in an increasingly fast-paced and digital communication era.
