This study aims to interpret the Prophetic hadiths related to mental health and examine their relevance to modern neuropsychology. It employs a qualitative approach using library research with a thematic (mawdu’i) method. The data were collected from hadiths contained in the Kutub al-Sittah, classical hadith commentaries (sharh), and relevant literature on psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroscience. The analysis involved takhrij of the hadiths, interpretation based on the explanations of classical scholars, and integration with contemporary neuropsychological theories. The findings reveal that hadiths concerning anger regulation, optimism, patience, remembrance of Allah (dhikr), and husn al-zhann (positive expectation toward Allah) embody principles of mental health that are consistent with psychological and neurobiological mechanisms. Anger regulation is associated with self-regulation and reduced amygdala activity; patience strengthens resilience by lowering cortisol levels; gratitude and optimism enhance positive emotions through dopamine activation; tawakkul reduces anxiety by optimizing prefrontal cortex function; while dhikr induces relaxation through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. These findings indicate that the values embedded in the hadiths transform religious understanding into positive cognitive patterns and adaptive behaviors, which subsequently influence brain activity through neuroplasticity and promote mental well-being. This study concludes that hadiths serve not only as normative and spiritual guidance but also as scientifically relevant sources for the development of mental health from a neuropsychological perspective, thereby reinforcing the integration of hadith studies with modern neuroscience.

Character building of children is one of the main objectives of Sunday School ministry which is greatly influenced by teacher competence in implementing the learning process. Sunday School teachers are required to have pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competence in order to be able to instill Christian values ​​​​effectively to children. This study aims to analyze the influence of Sunday School teacher competence on the character building of children at the Elim Christian Church of Indonesia (GEKI) MRC Marelan. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey design and a positivistic paradigm. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to respondents consisting of parents and children who actively attend Sunday School at GEKI MRC Marelan. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, correlation analysis, and coefficient of determination. The results showed that Sunday School teacher competence had a positive and significant effect on the formation of children's character with a correlation value (R) of 0.609 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.370. These findings indicate that teacher competence contributes 37% to children's character formation, while the remaining 63% is influenced by factors outside the research model. This study concludes that improving Sunday School teacher competence through training, coaching, and professional development is a strategic step to increase the effectiveness of Christian education services and support the formation of children's character in accordance with biblical values.  

Discipleship is one of the church's main strategies in shaping the spiritual maturity of the congregation amidst the challenges of modern life that can cause stagnation in faith growth and weaken spiritual commitment. Through a continuous process of development, discipleship is expected to help the congregation grow in their knowledge of Christ, character, and the practice of living faith in accordance with biblical teachings. This study aims to analyze the influence of discipleship on the spiritual maturity of the congregation at the Shalom Belawan Gospel Spreading Church. The study used a quantitative method with a survey approach. The study population consisted of 40 congregants consisting of 18 men and 22 women aged 17–55 years. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that discipleship had a positive effect on the spiritual maturity of the congregation with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.339. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.115 indicated that discipleship contributed 11.5% to the spiritual maturity of the congregation, while 88.5% was influenced by other factors outside the study. These findings indicate that discipleship plays a role in supporting spiritual growth through ongoing teaching, character development, and faith mentoring. Therefore, churches need to develop planned and systematic discipleship programs to improve the quality of congregational development while strengthening their spiritual maturity.

Nutrition is crucial for children's growth and development. Protein Energy Deficiency (PEM) is a common nutritional problem among elementary school-aged children and can impact their health, growth, and cognitive development. The prevalence of PEM among toddlers in Indonesia reached 17.9% in 2013. Palm Mushrooms, which are rich in macronutrients, can be a solution to this problem. Therefore, efforts are needed to address PEM through the consumption of nutritious foods, such as tortilla chips supplemented with palm mushroom flour. The purpose of this study was to analyze the acceptability and nutritional content of tortilla chips supplemented with palm mushroom flour (Volvariella volvacea) as an alternative snack for school-aged children. This study used an experimental design with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method, involving three treatments and two replications. The results of the organoleptic test showed that formulation 2, namely tortilla chips supplemented with palm mushroom flour, received a significant value (p<0.05) for color, aroma, taste, and texture, indicating a significant effect of the addition of palm mushroom flour on tortilla chips. Laboratory and organoleptic tests showed significant values ​​(p<0.05) for moisture, ash, carbohydrate, and protein content, indicating a significant effect of the addition of palm mushroom flour. Future researchers are expected to test the shelf life of tortilla chips made from palm mushroom flour.

Lifting is a common activity in fabrication and construction processes. It is a hazardous activity; failure during the lifting process can cause permanent damage to the products or structures being worked on. Furthermore, failure during the lifting process can endanger worker safety and even jeopardize the entire project. Lifting operations require not only calculations of the lifting equipment’s capacity—such as cranes and supporting tools like slings and shackles—but also an assessment of structural strength. Therefore, structural analysis under lifting conditions is essential; errors in planning can have severe consequences for the project. The planning stages are carried out using STAADpro software, starting from geometric modeling through to inputting parameters in accordance with applicable standards and regulations, such as the load magnification factor specified in DNVGL-ST -N001 Marine Operations and Marine Warranty, and the results of the analysis using STAADpro are re-verified through manual calculations in accordance with SNI 1729-2020 Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings. This verification process is carried out to ensure that the numerical analysis results obtained meet the requirements for strength, stability, and structural performance in accordance with design standards.

In the era of globalization, language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a medium for negotiating identity and representing culture. This study examines the relationship between language use and cultural identity in No Na’s bilingual song “Rollerblade.” It aims to identify the types and communicative functions of code-switching based on Hoffmann’s framework, the types of code-mixing based on Muysken’s framework, and the ways in which these linguistic choices construct a cultural Third Space through Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial theory. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data consisted of selected lyrical expressions containing Indonesian and English linguistic elements. The data were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed by classifying the forms of code-switching and code-mixing, identifying their communicative functions, and interpreting their relationship with Third Space dynamics. The findings reveal inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag code-switching, as well as insertion and congruent lexicalization in code-mixing. These linguistic strategies function to express group identity, provide interjections, clarify intentions, discuss particular topics, and emphasize statements. Their interaction reflects cultural mimicry, ambivalence, and subaltern agency. The findings indicate that No Na does not merely imitate Western popular culture but actively negotiates local and global identities by normalizing Indonesian cultural expressions within a global musical context. Thus, “Rollerblade” demonstrates how young people can participate in global culture while maintaining and reconstructing their local cultural identity.

This study examines the effects of competence, work motivation, and work environment on employee performance in financial service companies in Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach with a descriptive and verification survey design was employed. The study population consisted of 145 permanent employees, from whom 100 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26. The analytical procedures included validity and reliability testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression, partial t-tests, simultaneous F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results demonstrate that competence has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Work motivation and work environment also positively and significantly influence employee performance. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect employee performance, explaining 72.6% of its variation, while the remaining 27.4% is associated with factors outside the research model. Competence is identified as the most dominant predictor of employee performance. These findings indicate that employee performance can be improved through integrated human resource policies that strengthen professional competence, enhance work motivation, and create a safe, supportive, and conducive work environment. This study provides practical evidence for financial service company management in designing employee development, reward, and workplace improvement programs.

This research aims to find the impact of human activity and interaction with their surrounding nature as well as to illustrate how anthropocentrism is portrayed in the Dune movie. This research applied descriptive qualitative method, while the data collected by observing the scene and dialogue that contains ecocriticism and anthropocentrism in the movie Dune. This research applies the theory of Greg Garrard and Cheryll Glotfelty for ecocriticism. This research also applies the theory of Bryan Norton for anthropocentrism types and its impact. Based on the result of selected data, the types of anthropocentrism depicted in the movie are 12 strong anthropocentrism and 5 weak anthropocentrism. As for the impact of anthropocentrism found in the movie are 5 anthropocentrism impact. All of the anthropocentrism types depicted in the movie are basically an implementation of human thought which considers human to be the center of the universe and justifies all action to achieve what one’s desired. Based on the data, strong anthropocentrism tends to exploit nature, dominate nature, and oppress other living creature for human interest. Weak anthropocentrism tends to preserve nature due to human’s dependency with nature. Anthropocentrism caused the impact on environment and living creature including human.

The escalation of digital risks confronting children has prompted the issuance of Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Operation in Child Protection (PP TUNAS). Nevertheless, its field effectiveness remains hindered by challenges in information dissemination and the technical readiness of digital platforms. This study aims to explore in depth the perceptions, experiences, and practices of urban communities in conceptualizing PP TUNAS, while identifying the discrepancy between regulatory frameworks and the reality of child protection from a policy communication perspective. To analyze this phenomenon, a qualitative approach utilizing an interpretive case study design was employed. Primary data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews with key informants—comprising parents, educators, and digital literacy advocates in urban areas—and complemented by observation alongside secondary survey data from the Evident Institute for methodological triangulation. Thematic analysis reveals that while urban communities overwhelmingly support the age-restriction mandate, their understanding remains superficially normative due to an underlying policy communication gap. Furthermore, a structural implementation gap emerged, as platform age-verification mechanisms are perceived as highly susceptible to bypass. In response to these technical shortfalls, parents and schools have independently adopted localized digital parental mediation strategies, despite lacking formal integration with the legal framework. This study concludes that the success of PP TUNAS cannot rest solely on judicial enforcement; rather, it necessitates robust platform technical infrastructure, comprehensive public policy communication strategies, and an integrated orchestration of multi-stakeholder governance.

The massive development of digital technology expands children's access to information while simultaneously escalating cyber risks such as online exploitation and cyberbullying. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning Electronic System Governance for Child Protection (PP TUNAS) in the digital space, focusing on the technical challenges of age verification and the strengthening of digital literacy. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using qualitative content analysis of relevant regulatory documents, methodologically triangulated with secondary questionnaire data from the EVIDENT Institute involving 1,050 urban respondents in DKI Jakarta. The analytical framework is examined through Edwards III's Policy Implementation Theory, which measures four main variables—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—supported by Ayres and Braithwaite's Responsive Regulation Theory. The findings indicate a wide operational gap between normative regulatory texts and the reality of digital platform architecture. First, in the technical resource dimension, the age verification mechanisms of most platforms still rely on vulnerable self-declaration methods, deemed ineffective by 59.3% of respondents. Second, in the communication dimension, a substantial information asymmetry emerges, with 45% of respondents in a state of pseudo-awareness. Third, there is an imbalance between the domestic parental supervision burden and the fragmentation of the educational bureaucracy, reflected in 31.8% of educational institutions that have not facilitated digital literacy socialization for the parent community. This study concludes that strengthening PP TUNAS implementation requires integrating verification systems based on national population data (NIK) and standardizing a national digital citizenship curriculum to close the digital loophole.

The escalating access of children to social media has significantly broadened their exposure to cyber risks, a pressing phenomenon to which the government responded by enacting Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Governance of Electronic System Operation for Child Protection (PP TUNAS). This study aims to analyze the innovation diffusion process of the PP TUNAS policy within the broader social system by applying Everett M. Rogers’ theoretical framework. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, descriptive quantitative data derived from an EVIDENT Institute survey of 1,050 urban respondents serve as the foundational baseline layer. The robustness of this study relies on a qualitative approach using an interpretive policy discourse analysis grounded in Lasswell’s Communication Model (who, says what, in which channel, to whom, with what effect). This qualitative method critically deconstructs the official regulatory text of PP TUNAS and the respondents' thematic narratives to uncover the root causes of dissonance underlying the statistical figures. The findings indicate that PP TUNAS has successfully progressed through all stages of innovation diffusion. During the knowledge and persuasion phases, the public demonstrated substantial affective support (96.1%), which was followed by autonomous protective measures taken by parents in the implementation stage (91%). Nevertheless, the confirmation stage revealed distinct dissonance regarding the perceived ineffectiveness of digital platforms' age verification systems (59.3%). The qualitative analysis acutely reveals that this dissonance stems from a rupture in the communication chain at the channel level (the platform's technical delivery), even though the policy message (says what) was well-received by the communicants (to whom). The study concludes that the long-term success of PP TUNAS heavily depends on structural rectifications of the platform's technical channels alongside the reinforcement of humanistic family digital literacy programs.

Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health problem in Indonesia. One of the contributing factors is inadequate maternal knowledge regarding iron (Fe) tablets, which may affect adherence to supplementation and increase the risk of anemia. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge of iron (Fe) tablets and the incidence of anemia at PMB Shinta, Medan Polonia District, North Sumatera Province, in 2025. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. The study involved all 30 pregnant women attending antenatal care at PMB Shinta, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and hemoglobin examination. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test. Findings: The results showed that 56.7% of respondents had poor knowledge and 60.0% experienced anemia. A significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and the incidence of anemia, with a p-value of 0.013. Pregnant women with poor knowledge had a 10.5-times higher likelihood of experiencing anemia than those with good knowledge (OR = 10.5; 95% CI: 1.889–58.359). Implications: The findings indicate the need to strengthen health education during antenatal care, particularly regarding the benefits, dosage, timing, and proper consumption of iron tablets. Improved maternal knowledge is expected to support adherence to iron supplementation and reduce the incidence of anemia during pregnancy. Originality: This study provides recent empirical evidence from a primary midwifery practice in Medan Polonia by directly examining the relationship between maternal knowledge of iron tablets and anemia incidence. The findings offer practical value for developing targeted, community-based maternal health education strategies.

Character education based on religion is highly needed to cultivate a generation that is both intelligent and noble in character. An Islamic school culture serves as a means of instilling values through habits, rules, and traditions. The thoughts of Al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun, Ki Hajar Dewantara, and Thomas Lickona emphasize the need to combine knowledge, deeds, exemplary behavior, and collaboration among schools, families, and communities. Previous research indicates that routine religious activities strengthen religious awareness, discipline, honesty, responsibility, and tolerance. The challenges include differences in value application at home, diverse student backgrounds, time constraints, and the negative impacts of the external environment and digital media. The novelty of this study lies in the comprehensive mapping of the relationship between Islamic culture, character, and its supporting and inhibiting factors within a single framework. The method used is library research, which is described descriptively.

Digitalization has brought significant transformations to the interaction patterns between consumers and traditional market merchants, triggering a shift from conventional face-to-face meetings toward a combination of direct and digital-based communication such as social media and instant messaging applications. This phenomenon in Sukosari Market, Bondowoso demonstrates that technology utilization accelerates the processes of promotion, communication, and non-cash transactions, thereby increasing trade efficiency without eliminating the core social values that characterize traditional markets. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, it is revealed that merchants adapt by utilizing digital devices to retain customers, while consumers benefit from flexible access to price information and stock availability. Nevertheless, challenges such as low digital literacy and limited technological devices are still faced by some senior merchants. Personal relationships, emotional closeness, and the bargaining tradition are maintained as foundations that preserve the existence of traditional markets amidst the currents of modernization. The integration between digital technological advancements and social relationships proves that digitalization is not merely a substitute, but a complementary means that reinforces the sustainability of modern economic interaction spaces.
