This study analyzes advertising ethics violations in Hanasui’s Instagram advertisement, which claims its serum product as the “No.1 Serum in Indonesia” without adequate data substantiation. The digital era and the high penetration of social media have transformed the advertising landscape but have also opened up opportunities for practices that violate the Indonesian Advertising Ethics (EPI). This research uses a qualitative approach with content analysis and case study methods to examine Hanasui's Instagram advertisements. The analytical framework is based on EPI articles related to honesty, responsibility, and substantiation of advertising claims. The findings indicate that the superlative claim “No.1 Serum in Indonesia” violates fundamental EPI principles, particularly in the aspects of honesty and responsibility, due to the absence of clear supporting data or methodology. This violation not only misleads consumers but also creates unfair competitive advantages and risks eroding consumer trust in the local cosmetics industry. The study also reveals challenges in implementing EPI in the context of social media, where the unique characteristics of digital platforms require adaptations to the existing regulatory framework. Recommendations include strengthening EPI enforcement mechanisms for digital advertising, developing specific social media guidelines, enhancing coordination with digital platforms, and implementing a peer-review mechanism within the advertising industry. This research contributes to the literature on communication ethics and provides practical insights for regulators, advertising practitioners, and academics in addressing advertising ethics challenges in the digital era.
 

The 2024 General Election in Indonesia marked a significant shift in the landscape of political communication from conventional media to the digital sphere. Political campaigns conducted through social media and online platforms have opened new opportunities for persuasive effectiveness but also introduced serious challenges in terms of communication ethics, particularly in advertising. This study aims to analyze digital political campaign practices during the 2024 election through the lens of the Indonesian Advertising Ethics Code (Etika Pariwara Indonesia/EPI), which serves as a self-regulatory standard in the advertising industry. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, supported by documentation analysis, digital observation, and literature review. The findings reveal that many digital political advertisements violate key EPI principles, including honesty, transparency, and social responsibility. The most prominent violations include negative campaigning, the use of religious symbols to construct candidate images, and undisclosed endorsements by political influencers. Weaknesses in digital monitoring systems exacerbate these issues, allowing unethical content to spread massively and uncontrollably. This study concludes that the implementation of EPI in digital political campaigns remains weak and requires a more adaptive, collaborative, and technology-based monitoring approach to safeguard democratic integrity in the digital communication era.

Christian religious education has undergone significant transformations throughout church history. From the apostolic era to the modern age, Christian religious education has evolved and adapted to social, cultural, and theological changes. This article will examine the transformation of Christian religious education throughout church history, focusing on changes in the goals, methods, and content of Christian religious education. The transformation of Christian Religious Education (PAK) is a historical and theological process that takes place along with the church's journey in responding to the social, political, and cultural contexts throughout the ages. This study aims to trace significant changes in PAK from the Early Church era to the contemporary era. With a qualitative, historical, and theological approach, this study explores the dynamics of Christian faith education through a review of primary and secondary literature, as well as an analysis of church history documents. Each period in church history brings different educational models and approaches. The Early Church emphasized oral tradition and living communities, the Middle Ages emphasized church authority and clerical education, the Reformation opened access to Scripture and general literacy, while the modern and contemporary eras face the challenges of secularization and digitalization. From this journey, it can be seen that relevant PAK is one that is rooted in the Gospel and at the same time responsive to changes in the times.  As stated by Dr. Jan S. Aritonang, "Church history is a reflection of how believers struggle to shape spiritual life, including in faith education in the midst of a changing world." Therefore, this study aims to Research Objectives, Analyze the development of PAK from the early church era to the modern church. Identifying internal and external factors that influence the transformation of PAK. Developing practical implications for the development of contemporary PAK based on church history.

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.

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.

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.

This study aims to examine the implementation of innovative learning strategies in improving the literacy skills of first-grade elementary school students in the subject of Indonesian language. Early literacy serves as a crucial foundation for students’ academic development; however, many lower-grade students have not yet reached the minimum standards in reading and writing. To address this challenge, innovative learning strategies such as shared reading, storytelling, the use of visual and digital media, as well as contextual and simple project-based approaches were employed. This research utilized a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method over two cycles, involving 20 first-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literacy skill assessments. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ reading, writing, listening, and speaking abilities. The learning process became more enjoyable, participatory, and suited to the cognitive developmental stage of young children. In addition, students' motivation and confidence in using language also increased. The teacher’s role as a facilitator and instructional designer was essential in ensuring the success of these strategies. Therefore, innovative learning strategies have proven effective in enhancing the literacy skills of first-grade students and are recommended for broader implementation.
