Digital transformation in the Islamic banking sector requires innovation that is responsive to user needs. The BYOND by BSI application is a form of digital transformation by Bank Syariah Indonesia in response to these dynamics. This study aims to examine customer acceptance and satisfaction with the use of the BYOND application based on five recent national studies. The research findings indicate that factors such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust, and Islamic banking features play a significant role in driving customer usage and loyalty. Challenges include low digital literacy and concerns about security. With a sustainable approach to feature development and digital education, BYOND has great potential to strengthen the digital Islamic banking ecosystem in Indonesia.

The rapid growth of urban areas has triggered the rise of unlicensed development or illegal buildings that have a negative impact on spatial planning, the environment, and the social life of the community. Controlling illegal buildings is a big challenge for local governments, especially in applying administrative sanctions effectively and fairly. This article analyzes various problems faced in applying administrative sanctions, including structural constraints, weak legal culture, and socio-economic impacts of the crackdown. Using normative and empirical juridical approaches, this research evaluates the effectiveness of administrative sanctions in a number of cities such as Surabaya, Bekasi, and Pontianak, and highlights the need for regulatory reform, strengthening the capacity of the apparatus, and participatory approaches to the community. The results show that the effectiveness of administrative sanctions is still limited due to slow bureaucracy, lack of coordination between agencies, and low public legal awareness. Therefore, a comprehensive and collaborative strategy is needed to improve administrative law enforcement that is consistent and has a real impact in creating an orderly, sustainable and socially just urban space.

This study investigates the influence of overprotective parenting on independent character development among out-of-town university students enrolled in a Home Economics Education Program. Independence in emerging adulthood encompasses emotional, behavioral, and value-based autonomy, essential for functioning as responsible adults. Using a quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis, data were collected from 103 students selected through purposive sampling. The results show a negative relationship between overprotective parenting and student independence; however, the effect was not statistically significant (p = 0.744). These findings suggest that while overprotective parenting may inhibit autonomy to some extent, student independence is more significantly shaped by broader contextual factors such as peer interaction, campus engagement, and experiential learning. Peer interaction can provide opportunities for students to practice independence in a supportive environment, while campus engagement and experiential learning can foster autonomy by encouraging students to take initiative and make decisions. The study highlights the need for holistic strategies within higher education to foster independence beyond family influences alone. Implications of this study indicate that universities should create structured programs that support student autonomy and self-regulation. At the same time, future research is encouraged to explore mediating variables that may better explain the development of independence during emerging adulthood.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the main challenges in the health sector in Indonesia, with a fairly high number of cases each year. This study aims to analyze the distribution of TB cases based on occupation and identify community groups that are at higher risk of spreading this disease. The data used in this study were obtained from estimates of the 2022 TB epidemiology report. The results of the analysis show that informal workers, such as laborers and traders, are the group with the highest number of TB cases, at 36.0%. This is followed by formal workers (21.6%), farmers/fishermen (17.3%), housewives (14.4%), students (6.5%), and unemployed or retired groups (4.2%). The high prevalence of TB in informal workers is caused by several factors, including an unhygienic work environment, limited access to health services, and unhealthy lifestyles. Based on these findings, a more effective strategy is needed in efforts to prevent and control TB, especially for groups with high levels of vulnerability. Health education, increasing access to health services, improving work environment sanitation, and early detection programs are important steps in reducing the spread of TB. With the right intervention, it is hoped that the number of TB cases in Indonesia can be reduced significantly.

The rapid advancement of digital transformation, coupled with the increasing intensity of competition in the financial industry, compels banking institutions to implement appropriate strategies to enhance their competitiveness—particularly in serving the micro and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segments. This study aims to analyze the application of the Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE) Matrix as a tool for formulating effective marketing strategies at Bank BRI Unit Sokaraja Tengah.By employing a qualitative approach through direct observation and interviews, this research evaluates four key dimensions within the SPACE Matrix framework: Financial Strength (FS), Competitive Advantage (CA), Environmental Stability (ES), and Industry Strength (IS). The analysis results indicate that FS scored 5, CA scored 4, ES scored 4, and IS scored 3. Collectively, these scores position Bank BRI Unit Sokaraja Tengah within the aggressive quadrant.These findings suggest that the bank unit possesses strong internal capabilities and significant external opportunities for continued growth and innovation. Based on this strategic positioning, the recommended strategies include: strengthening digital service innovation, enhancing customers' financial literacy, and fostering active collaboration with the SME community. The implementation of this aggressive strategy is expected to reinforce the bank's competitive position and sustainably support growth in the microeconomic sector.

Mental health disorders, particularly depression, are becoming an increasing concern among university students. This study aims to analyze the comparative levels of depression among students from the 2022 and 2024 cohorts in the Biology Department at Universitas Negeri Medan. The research employs a mixed-method approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 51 active students. The results indicate that students from the 2022 cohort exhibit higher levels of depression compared to those from the 2024 cohort, due to academic pressure, social factors, and lifestyle habits. These findings highlight the importance of preventive strategies and interventions to mitigate depression risks, such as stress management, promoting healthy lifestyle habits, and strengthening social support in academic environments. Therefore, educational institutions must prioritize student mental health to foster a more conducive learning environment.

This study aims to describe the use of the Bali map as a learning medium in Social Science (IPS) subjects at MI Al Hidayah Cipacung. The research employed a qualitative approach through participatory observation, documentation, and informal interviews. The results show that using the Bali map improves students’ understanding of geographical positions, temples, districts, and Bali’s socio-cultural elements. The map also stimulates active interaction, group discussions, and increases students’ curiosity. The teacher’s strategy of integrating maps into small project-based learning helped build students’ analytical and collaborative skills. Challenges found include limited map availability and the absence of interactive digital maps. The study recommends developing varied and contextual map media to support effective IPS learning.
