WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging platforms, offering fast and simple communication. Among its active users are students from Islamic boarding schools (santri), including those involved in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, despite its convenience, many users lack awareness regarding digital safety and privacy, exposing them to cyber risks such as phishing, scams, and identity theft. In Nusukan, Surakarta, this issue is particularly relevant for santri who rely on WhatsApp for both academic and business communication. This community service initiative was conducted at Al-Mukminun Islamic Boarding School in Nusukan, Surakarta, with the aim of increasing awareness and understanding of safe WhatsApp usage among MSME santri. The program consisted of counseling sessions, which included lectures and interactive discussions tailored to the participants’ needs. Key topics included how to adjust privacy settings, identify suspicious links and messages, protect personal data, and recognize common cyber threats. Participants responded positively to the training. Feedback showed that 80% of them reported they would avoid clicking unknown links in messages. Another 80% stated they would refrain from sharing personal information with strangers. Furthermore, 80% expressed their commitment to regularly updating the WhatsApp application to ensure optimal security features are in place. This program successfully raised awareness and empowered santri with essential knowledge about digital communication safety. It highlights the importance of integrating communication psychology and practical digital literacy into community education to support secure online behavior for young entrepreneurs. Overall, this training shows that a contextual and applicable communication psychology approach is very effective in forming positive digital awareness and behavior in religious-based communities such as MSME students.

Wayang kulit rose and became the prima donna through the play of the character Bagong by Ki Seno Nugroho on social media. This article aims to analyze the role and meaning of Bagong in the play of wayang kulit by Ki Seno Nugroho through a semiotic approach. Ki Seno Nugroho can bring the character of Bagong to life, not only playing a comedic role but also voicing social criticism and the values of people's wisdom. Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method examines data in the form of signs and meanings formed in dialogues, gestures, expressions, and scenes involving Bagong. This method consists of two levels, namely denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (cultural and ideological meaning). The semiotic approach was chosen because of its relevance in unraveling the layers of meaning of a cultural text to reveal deeper cultural and ideological implications as well. The data source was taken from the video documentation of Ki Seno Nugroho's performance on the Dalang Seno YouTube channel with the plays Bagong Ratu and Semar Mbangun Kayangan. The results of the analysis show that (1) Bagong plays a role as a representation of the common people, (2) Bagong serves as a medium of symbolic resistance to social inequality, and (3) Bagong serves as a communicative and entertaining conveyor of local wisdom. This study confirms the position of Punakawan as an important narrative device in the play of Javanese puppetry.

Menjadi seorang pecandu bukanlah sesuatu yang diinginkan bagi setiap orang termasuk menjadi pecandu alkohol. Alkohol adalah barang minuman yang mudah didapat sekaligus dapat memberikan kelegaan meskipun sesaat. Tidak adanya manfaat jangka Panjang membuat setiap individu yang meminumnya akan memaknai apa fungsi dan manfaat untuk dilakukan dalam jangka Panjang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap makna hidup pada pecandu alkohol melalui pendekatan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Sebanyak enam informan yang memiliki pengalaman sebagai pecandu alkohol diwawancarai secara mendalam untuk menggali pengalaman subjektif mereka terkait pencarian makna hidup. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alkohol digunakan tidak hanya sebagai media dari tekanan hidup, tetapi juga sebagai bentuk pemenuhan kebutuhan emosional akibat rasa hampa, kesepian, konflik keluarga, lingkungan sosial permisif, serta keterbatasan dukungan positif. Beberapa informan menyadari bahwa konsumsi alkohol hanya memberikan kelegaan sementara dan tidak mampu mengisi kekosongan makna hidup secara dalam. Adanya keinginan untuk berhenti dan membangun kehidupan bermakna muncul pada sebagian informan, meskipun masih dihadapkan pada hambatan lingkungan baik internal maupun eksternal.

PLN as an electricity provider that serves all regions in Indonesia certainly always wants to provide the best service to its consumers, including PT. PLN Persero UP3 Gresik. Along with the increase in consumers, the company continues to develop distribution lines, however, because the addition of more and more lines makes the distribution cables longer and the load becomes greater, resulting in voltage drops and power factors decreasing in several feeders, including in the feeder network. LOWAYU, causing poor power quality.This research aims to find and obtain the magnitude of the power flow which includes active power, reactive power, apparent power and the magnitude of the power losses (losses) contained in the LOWAYU feeder network, the magnitude of the voltage and voltage drop on each bus on the network. LOWAYU feeder using the backward-forward method. And determine the value of reactive power required for the capacitor on each bus that experiences a voltage drop. Then a comparison will be made between the results of manual calculations using the backward-forward method and the results of simulation data using ETAP Power Station 19.0.1 software.From this research, it can be seen that the safe limit for the voltage drop value is still below 5% or above 5%, so it is necessary to add capacitor banks to improve the power factor and reduce the voltage drop value on distribution network buses that experience voltage drops.
