Arum Dwi Ningsih, Rizky Meuthia Pratiwi, Lutfi Wahyuni, Binarti Dwi Wahyuningsih — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Stroke is a disease that causes neurological dysfunction, long-term disability, and death. Long-term increases in blood pressure can trigger stroke. Therefore, stroke prevention behavior needs to be improved as an effort to prevent stroke in hypertension patients. The purpose of this study is to represent stroke prevention behavior carried out by hypertension patients. The research design used is quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted in the working area of the Sooko Community Health Center with a population of hypertension patients, the number of samples was 52 respondents with a sampling technique using purposive sampling. The results showed that most of the respondents carried out stroke prevention behavior in the adequate category as many as 27 respondents (52%). Stroke prevention behavior in the sufficient category can be reflected in the respondents' efforts to control blood pressure, take antihypertensive drugs as recommended, limit consumption of foods high in salt and fat, do regular exercise, and have regular health checks, although not yet done consistently.

Fida Olivia Fairuz, Djudiyah — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) training in strengthening teamwork among vocational high school internship students at an animation company. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental method using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 13 internship students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a teamwork questionnaire administered before and after the training intervention. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test to determine differences between pretest and posttest scores. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in teamwork following the training intervention (Mdiff = −2.923, t(12) = −2.576, p = .024). Organizational Citizenship Behavior also increased significantly after the intervention (Mdiff = −9.692, t(12) = −2.646, p = .021). These results indicate that OCB training effectively enhanced participants' collaborative skills and voluntary organizational behaviors. The study concludes that OCB training can serve as an effective human resource development strategy for internship programs, particularly in project-based creative industries where teamwork and collaboration are essential for achieving organizational goals.

The rapid development of digital technology has brought significant changes to the behavior and character formation of Generation Alpha, creating challenges for Islamic character education in both formal and non-formal educational settings. As a community-based Islamic educational institution, the mosque has a strategic role in strengthening children's character through religious habituation programs. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Maghrib Mengaji Program, identify the character values developed, examine the role of the mosque in strengthening character education, and explore the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing the program at Al-Hidayah Mosque, Gandawesi Village, Ligung District, Majalengka Regency. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving mosque administrators, Qur'anic teachers (ustadz), parents, and program participants. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Maghrib Mengaji Program is implemented systematically through congregational Maghrib prayer, Qur'anic learning, tahsin, memorization of short surahs, Islamic moral instruction, and continuous religious habituation. The program successfully strengthens religious character, discipline, responsibility, honesty, independence, politeness, and social awareness among Generation Alpha. Its success is supported by collaboration among mosque administrators, teachers, parents, and the local community, while challenges include excessive digital device use, limited teaching personnel, and inconsistent participant attendance. This study concludes that the Maghrib Mengaji Program represents an effective mosque-based model of non-formal Islamic education for strengthening the character of Generation Alpha through the integration of Qur'anic learning, exemplary practices, religious habituation, and community participation.

Sagita, Paulina Maria Ekasari Wahyuningrum, Emilianus Sember Sawo — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to describe the professional competence of Catholic Religious Education (CRE) teachers in integrating Catholic’s values explicitly and in a structured manner into learning at Santo Don Bosco Catholic Elementary School, Palangka Raya. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The primary data sources were three CRE teachers, reinforced by a learning experience questionnaire administered to 18 students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and questionnaires, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through triangulation. The results show that the professional competence of CRE teachers in integrating Catholic’s values is good and developing, reflected in the dimensions of planning, implementation, and evaluation. Value integration is carried out through three domains, namely moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. The questionnaire results indicate that 66.7% of students stated that Catholic’s values were always explained in an easily understandable way, and 66.7% stated they were always given tasks to do good to others. The teachers' main challenges are being consistent role models, dealing with the diversity of student characteristics, and forming faith habits in lower-grade children, which require repeated and patient processes.

Child Protection from Online Grooming in Indonesian Criminal Law

Fadli Yasser Arafat Juanda, M Zaldy — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Online grooming of children has emerged as one of the most alarming manifestations of digital sexual exploitation, yet Indonesia's criminal law framework has been slow to address it coherently. This study examines whether four major Indonesian criminal law instruments, the Child Protection Act (Law No. 35 of 2014), the Electronic Information and Transactions Act (Law No. 19 of 2016), the Sexual Violence Crimes Act (Law No. 12 of 2022), and the National Penal Code (Law No. 1 of 2023), are adequate to criminalize and prosecute online grooming behavior against children. Employing a normative legal research design with statute and conceptual approaches, this study analyzes primary legal materials and international instruments to identify normative gaps. The findings reveal three critical deficiencies: the absence of a statutory definition of grooming, incomplete coverage of preparatory acts as independent criminal offenses, and inadequate cross-sectoral coordination mechanisms. While the Sexual Violence Crimes Act and the National Penal Code represent meaningful legislative progress, neither fully incorporates online grooming as a distinct, standalone criminal offense. This study recommends targeted legislative amendments and enhanced implementation protocols to align Indonesia's criminal law framework with its obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and international child protection standards.

The Effect Self-Efficacy and Self-Confidence on Academic Anxiety, with Extrinsic Motivation as a Mediating Variabel

Fitria Yuningsih, Muniro Tujduja, Anin Deviani, Onwardono Rit Riyanto — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the influence of self-efficacy and self-confidence on students' learning anxiety, with extrinsic motivation acting as a mediating variable among elementary school students. A quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design was used in this study. This study involved 360 elementary school students who were selected through probability sampling techniques. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that self-efficacy and self-confidence significantly affect learning anxiety. In addition, extrinsic motivation also has a significant influence on learning anxiety. However, the role of extrinsic motivational mediation in the relationship between Self-Efficacy and learning anxiety, as well as between self-confidence and learning anxiety, is not supported by data. The results showed that internal psychological factors played a more prominent role in influencing students' learning anxiety compared to external motivational factors. Therefore, strengthening students' Self-Efficacy and confidence is essential to reduce learning anxiety and encourage a more effective learning experience.

Muhammad Syah Fibrika Ramadhan, Wiwin Rosmawati — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes youth participation and leadership trends in Indonesia (2015–2023) using Youth Development Index (IPP) data from the Ministry of Youth and Sports. A quantitative, descriptive-analytical time-series approach was applied across 34 provinces. The results show youth social participation stabilized at 81.36% (2015–2020) but dropped significantly to 70.49% (2021–2022) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before recovering to 71.44% in 2023. Conversely, organizational activity and meeting attendance remained stable. Striking regional disparities emerged: West Nusa Tenggara recorded the highest rate (87.31%), while DKI Jakarta recorded the lowest (38.3%). Overall, the Participation and Leadership Indicator Index stagnated at 46.67% and fell to 43.33%, reflecting suboptimal performance. The study concludes that youth development requires differentiated policy strategies based on regional characteristics, strengthening organizational ecosystems, leveraging digital transformation, and further research for effective policy interventions.

The Relationship between Doomscrolling and Emotion Regulation with Anxiety of Adolescent Social Media Users in MAN 2 Mojokerto

Prima Permatasari, Diah Sofiah , Isrida Yul Arifiana — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to test the relationship between doomscrolling and emotion regulation and anxiety in adolescent social media users in MAN 2 Mojokerto. The phenomenon of doomscrolling, which is the habit of accessing negative information excessively, has become a concern in the context of adolescent mental health. Emotion regulation, as an individual's ability to manage emotional responses, is thought to have an important role in suppressing the negative impact of doomscrolling on anxiety. This study used a correlational quantitative approach, involving 237 3rd-grade students as participants. The instruments used included the doomscrolling scale, the emotion regulation scale (DERS), and the anxiety scale (RCMAS-2), all in Likert-scale format. The results of the data analysis showed a significant association between doomscrolling and emotion regulation and adolescent anxiety (R = 0.807; p < 0.01), with an explained variance of 65%. Partially, doomscrolling showed a significant positive association with anxiety (t = 4.115; p < 0.05), whereas emotion regulation showed a significant negative association (t = -14.433; p < 0.05). This suggests that the higher the intensity of doomscrolling, the higher the teen's anxiety levels; Conversely, the better the regulation of emotions, the lower the level of anxiety felt. These findings provide important implications for psychological interventions in helping adolescents manage healthy social media use and improve their ability to regulate emotions to reduce anxiety risk.

Oil and Gas Tower Metaphor in Bojonegoro's Creative Economy Facility

Serli Uswatun Chasanah, Mufidah, Joko Santoso — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Bojonegoro is widely known as an oil and gas producing region, marked by traditional drilling towers still standing in the Wonocolo area. This identity has not yet been developed into a city landmark supporting the local creative economy. This study formulates a concept for transforming the form and meaning of the oil and gas tower into a creative economy facility functioning as a visual icon for Bojonegoro. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied through a combined metaphor design method, merging the tower's concrete visual elements with the abstract values of productivity and communal spirit held by local miners. Data were gathered through field observation of the towers and five leading craft centers, literature review, precedent study, and visual documentation, then analyzed through element identification, abstraction, and design reinterpretation. Findings show that the tower's vertical form, cross-braced frame, and mechanical character can be translated into a landmark tower twenty to twenty-five meters tall with a frame-patterned facade, accommodating production, training, and marketing spaces for five featured crafts within a total floor area of about 4,950 square meters. The resulting concept, the Industrial Creative Tower, is expected to strengthen Bojonegoro's image while providing growth space for craft-based creative economy.

Role Structure and Rhytmic Nomenclature of Indang Music in Nagari Tandikek

Hasanul Rizki Febrian, Aditya Dwi Ananda Firdaus, Asril — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to comprehensively describe the internal role structure of performers and the local nomenclature of rhythmic patterns produced by the rapai instrument in the Indang traditional performance within Nagari Tandikek. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach with an ethnomusicological perspective, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with a maestro and tukang dikie of Indang, supplemented by direct field observations of drumming techniques. The findings reveal that Indang Tandikek possesses a highly specific and rigid role structure consisting of tukang dikie, tukang karang, tukang darak, tukang lalu, tukang apik, tukang aliah, and tukang panuruikan. Each role fulfills a distinct musical function crucial to maintaining performance continuity. Regarding organology and drumming techniques, the study identifies distinct local interlocking variations: darak panjang serves exclusively as the opening pattern, while the darak pendek group—comprising darak katereang, darak patiang jongkek, and darak tujuah—is played during vocal (dendang) pauses. Furthermore, the overall dynamics and tempo esclations are governed collectively through intuition (feeling) and technical mastery of the primary players rather than strict mathematical counts. This study concludes that the rhythmic complexity of Indang Tandikek functions not only as a visual aesthetic regulator but also as a preservation mechanism for social rhythms through a transmission system rooted in the kulipah (school lineage).

Hendra Maulana, Henni Indarriyanti, Saiful Nggufron Efendi — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The massive development of information technology has fundamentally revolutionized corporate operational governance, where business process automation through Accounting Information Systems (AIS) has become an absolute necessity to eliminate inefficiencies and improve data accuracy. Nonetheless, the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) distributor sector still faces a significant gap due to the dominance of manual or semi-digital (spreadsheet) recording methods. These conventional methods trigger delays in reporting, data entry errors, and the weakening of internal control functions. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the implementation of the goods sales AIS at PT Bersama Menuju Sukses—as a distributor of KAO products—in integrating transaction flows, increasing recording efficiency, and producing accurate and accountable financial statements. The research method employed is a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, where data collection was conducted through direct observation, in-depth interviews with management, and analysis of documents related to the company's sales cycle. The results indicate that the evaluation of the sales AIS successfully mapped internal obstacles such as human resource resistance and data integration limitations, while simultaneously identifying the potential implementation of strict control features including visit route determination (fix route) and automated reconciliation. The implementation of an integrated sales AIS is proven to be crucial as a fraud risk mitigation instrument as well as a primary fortress in presenting high-value financial information for strategic managerial decision-making

Applying the Concept of Adaptive Reuse in Changing the Function of UPT SMP Negeri 30 Gresik School Building into Elderly Service Facilities

Saidha Nur Rachmawati, Mufidah — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The increasing elderly population in Gresik Regency has created a growing demand for adequate elderly care facilities. On the other hand, the former UPT public junior high school 30 Gresik building is an underutilized public asset with the potential for functional transformation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the adaptive reuse concept in converting the former UPT public junior high school 30 Gresik building into an elderly care facility. A qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach was employed through field observations, documentation, and literature review. The results indicate that the building has significant potential for reuse through the preservation of its existing structure, spatial function transformation, and improved accessibility to meet the needs of elderly users. The implementation of adaptive reuse offers a sustainable alternative for optimizing public assets while supporting the development of elderly care facilities in Gresik Regency.

Social Comparison on Social Media and Psychological Well-Being in Emerging Adulthood

Alda Syafira, Siti Maimunah, Iswinarti — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Social comparison on social media has become an increasingly prominent psychological process during emerging adulthood, driven by growing exposure to idealized portrayals of other people's lives. This study conducted a systematic review of empirical findings on the factors associated with social comparison on social media and its impact on psychological well-being during emerging adulthood. The literature search followed PRISMA guidelines across reputable academic databases, covering publications from 2022 to 2025. Of 165 articles initially identified, 18 empirical studies met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis shows that upward social comparison is the most common form of comparison and is consistently linked to lower psychological well-being, particularly through passive social media use and exposure to idealized content. Frequently identified mediating mechanisms include reduced self-esteem, impaired emotion regulation, and fear of missing out. In contrast, downward social comparison appears far less often and shows only limited protective effects. These findings highlight upward comparison as the dominant psychological risk for well-being in emerging adulthood and point to the need for interventions that strengthen social comparison awareness and emotion regulation.

Erna Widiastuti, Tri Rijanto, Muji Sri Prastiwi — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigated the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum Foundation Phase and its contribution to enhancing collaboration and independence among children aged 5–6 years at TK Tadika Puri, South Jakarta, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with school principals, teachers, curriculum coordinators, and parents, complemented by classroom observations and document analysis. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on their direct involvement in Foundation Phase curriculum enactment. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's six-step procedure, with trustworthiness established through triangulation, member checking, peer debriefing, and thick description. Four major themes emerged from the analysis: policy communication and stakeholder understanding, classroom practices supporting collaboration, development of children's independence, and challenges and supporting factors in policy implementation. Findings revealed that effective policy communication, facilitated through iterative professional dialogue and principal leadership, progressively deepened teachers' conceptual understanding of Foundation Phase principles. Collaborative classroom practices—including cooperative play, joint problem-solving, and shared group responsibilities—produced observable improvements in children's peer interaction and cooperative behaviours. Children's independence developed along a scaffolded pedagogical pathway from teacher-directed support toward increasingly autonomous self-directed engagement, though individual developmental variability was consistently noted. Persistent implementation challenges included administrative documentation burden, variation in teacher readiness, and limited access to sustained professional development. The study contributes to educational policy implementation literature by demonstrating an empirical pathway linking policy communication processes, through classroom pedagogical practices, to observable child developmental outcomes, thereby positioning child competency development as a meaningful indicator of policy implementation effectiveness.

Ery Yurenti, Paulina Maria Ekasari Wahyuningrum, Edy Jumrio — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to describe the role of Catholic Religious Education (CRE) teachers in developing students spirit of diakonia, the implementation of diakonia values in learning, and its supporting and inhibiting factors at the elementary and junior high school levels of the Siswarta Foundation, Palangka Raya Representative. The study employed a qualitative descriptive-interpretive approach. Data were collected through non-participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving seven informants consisting of the principal, CRE teachers, and students selected purposively. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, along with triangulation. The results show that the role of CRE teachers is carried out through three channels, namely the integration of learning materials, everyday exemplary conduct, and persuasive guidance. Diakonia values are implemented explicitly in lesson plans and teaching modules using contextual methods, Problem-Based Learning, and experiential learning adjusted to each level, reinforced by routine service activities and post-activity reflection. Supporting factors include school policies, collaboration among teachers, and the personal vocation of educators, whereas the inhibiting factors are limited time, families academic orientation, and gadget dependence. The study concludes that diakonia has become a distinctive feature of Catholic schools, yet the consistency of teacher exemplarity and the equal distribution of reflection still need to be strengthened

Self-Efficacy And Social Support In Relation To Fear Of Failure Among Job Seekers

Pandi Nurhadi, Andik Matulessy, Amanda Pasca Rini — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

University graduate job seekers in Indonesia face intense labor market competition, which may give rise to fear of failure. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and social support with fear of failure among job seekers. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 314 job seekers under the age of 29 who held a university degree, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using three Likert-type scales: a fear of failure scale adapted from the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (Conroy et al., 2002), a self-efficacy scale based on the dimensions of level, strength, and generality (Bandura, 1997), and a social support scale based on the dimensions proposed by Cutrona and Russell (1987). Data were analyzed using multiple regression with SPSS version 27. The results showed that self-efficacy and social support were simultaneously and significantly negatively related to fear of failure (R = .572, R² = .327, p < .001), accounting for 32.7% of the variance. Partially, self-efficacy (t = -6.421, p < .001) contributed more strongly than social support (t = -3.473, p < .001) in predicting fear of failure. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-efficacy and social support networks as psychological intervention strategies for job seekers navigating a competitive labor market.

Integrating Local Wisdom into Twenty-First Century Curriculum Transformation: Evidence from Indonesian Schools

Sigid Budianto, Ahmad Ali Darmawan, Nanda Hasnan Fardany , Anip Dwi Saputro — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This qualitative case study examines how local wisdom has been integrated into curriculum transformation at SMK Negeri 2 Ponorogo, a vocational secondary school in East Java, Indonesia. Using semi-structured interviews (n=25), classroom observations, curriculum document analysis, and field notes, the study investigated mechanisms through which vocational schools pursue culturally responsive education while maintaining alignment with national standards. Five major themes emerged from thematic analysis: (1) local wisdom appears as contextual learning resources embedded within subjects rather than as independent curriculum content; (2) teachers actively interpret national curriculum objectives through professional judgment and contextual knowledge, producing varied curriculum enactment across programs; (3) students associate local wisdom integration with authentic learning experiences through community-based projects and apprenticeships with traditional practitioners, though without reported effects on academic achievement; (4) curriculum transformation occurs through continuous negotiation between national standards, industry competencies, assessment requirements, and cultural preservation rather than through curriculum replacement; and (5) school leadership facilitates curriculum innovation through distributed decision-making and collaborative support rather than directive mandates. The study contributes to curriculum transformation literature by positioning local wisdom as a contextual mediating resource through which national competencies can be developed, rather than as cultural content competing with standardized curricula. Findings suggest that sustainable vocational curriculum transformation in centralized education systems may occur more effectively through facilitated teacher enactment and professional agency than through top-down policy mandates. The research provides empirical evidence from Southeast Asian vocational education, a context underrepresented in international curriculum scholarship. Results may inform curriculum developers, vocational school leaders, teachers, and educational policymakers designing culturally responsive curriculum initiatives within standardized governance structures. Future research employing comparative case studies across different vocational disciplines and regions could strengthen understanding of how schools navigate tensions between standardization and cultural responsiveness.

This case report aims to describe the clinical manifestations, diagnostic process, and therapeutic response in a patient with GAD dominated by somatic symptoms. Case: A 63-year-old female patient presented with initial complaints of acid reflux sensation and epigastric pain since 2022. Medical examinations showed results within normal limits. The complaints progressed to palpitations, excessive anxiety, particularly in social situations, avoidance behavior, and sleep disturbances. The patient experienced a decline in social functioning, which subsequently improved after receiving pharmacological therapy and psychotherapy. Somatic symptoms in GAD are associated with autonomic nervous system activation and the brain–gut axis interaction. The diagnosis was established based on DSM-5-TR criteria, considering biopsychosocial aspects. Management using a combination of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) proved effective in improving the patient's symptoms and functioning.

Rahmad Akbarsyah, Siti Maimunah — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Future anxiety refers to a form of anxiety related to individuals’ concerns about an uncertain future. This phenomenon is increasingly observed among young adults, particularly university students and individuals undergoing the transition from education to the workforce. This article aims to systematically review studies that examine the concept of future anxiety, the factors influencing it, and its impact on psychological well-being. The method employed was a literature review of empirical articles published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that future anxiety is influenced by internal factors such as self-efficacy and optimism, as well as external factors including career uncertainty and social pressure. High levels of future anxiety can negatively affect individuals’ mental health, leading to increased stress and decreased psychological well-being. Therefore, special attention is needed in the development of preventive efforts and psychological interventions for groups vulnerable to experiencing future anxiety.

Seftavia Candra Kirana, Febby Rahmatullah Masruchin — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Surabaya Branch Scout Council Headquarters serves as the center for administration, training, character development, and scouting activities at the city level. However, the existing facility faces several challenges, including limited space capacity, lack of spatial flexibility, ineffective circulation, and a building image that no longer reflects the needs of contemporary scouting activities. This study aims to analyze the redesign needs of the Surabaya Scout Headquarters and develop a design concept that supports functional optimization while strengthening the identity of the Scout Movement. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through site observation, documentation, literature review, and comparative studies. The findings indicate the need for increased spatial capacity, flexible multifunctional spaces, improved zoning and circulation systems, and a stronger architectural identity. Based on these findings, the concept of “Future Scout New Image” is proposed through the application of the Coconut Shoot Metaphor Architecture approach. The redesign is expected to create a modern, representative, adaptive, and recognizable Scout Headquarters that supports the development of future generations.

Perceived Organizational Support On Civil Servant Perfomance With Career Development and Work Motivation As Mediation at The West Sumatera Regional Police

Deswita Deswita, Yunia Wardi — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived organizational support on the performance of Indonesian National Police Civil Servants (PNS) at the West Sumatra Regional Police, with career development and work motivation as mediating variables. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results showed that not all relationships between variables were positive. Several variables demonstrated a significant negative effect on employee performance. This finding indicates that increased perceived organizational support and career development do not always lead to improved performance, especially when their implementation does not align with employee expectations.

Furthermore, work motivation was shown to act as a mediating variable explaining the relationship between organizational variables and performance. This study implies that organizations need to consider aspects of fairness, transparency, and policy appropriateness in human resource management to optimally improve performance.

Increasing the Capacity of Midwives in Managing Diastasis Recti Abdominalis in Postpartum Care Based on Evidence-Based Practice

Lasiyati Yuswo Yani — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Diastasis Recti Abdominalis (DRA) is a postpartum musculoskeletal problem that is often overlooked, even though it poses a risk of reducing the quality of life of postpartum mothers. Midwives as the frontline of postpartum care need to have the capacity to detect and provide safe initial management. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve midwives' knowledge and clinical skills in DRA management through structured Postnatal Yoga technique training. The service partner is the Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI) Branch X which involves 30 independent practicing midwives. The implementation method uses interactive lectures, manual detection demonstrations, and postpartum yoga movement modification workshops. Evaluation of the activity was carried out using pre-test and post-test knowledge instruments. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the average midwives' knowledge score from 58.3 (poor category) to 87.5 (good category) after the training (p < 0.001). All participants (100%) were also able to demonstrate DRA screening and guide functional yoga movements correctly and safely. This capacity building is expected to optimize the quality of comprehensive postpartum care at the primary care level.

Employee performance is one of the primary determinants of organizational success, particularly in companies operating in high-risk industries such as electricity services. This study aims to analyze the influence of occupational safety and health and the work environment on employee performance at PT PLN (Persero) ULP Sutojayan, Blitar Regency. This research employed a quantitative explanatory approach involving all 70 employees as respondents using a census sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by validity, reliability, classical assumption, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analyses. The findings reveal that occupational safety and health significantly improve employee performance. Likewise, the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, both variables contribute significantly to employee performance improvement. These findings indicate that an effective occupational safety management system combined with a supportive work environment enhances employee productivity, work quality, and organizational performance. The study contributes empirical evidence regarding human resource management in the electricity service sector and provides managerial implications for strengthening workplace safety culture and creating conducive working conditions

Immersive Herbal Medicine Museum as Sukoharjo's Cultural Identity

Rani Nur Aini, Farida Murti — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Immersive Herbal Medicine Museum as Sukoharjo Cultural Identity is a concept for designing special museum facilities in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java, which is designed to accommodate the functions of education, cultural preservation, and recreation based on immersive and multisensory experiences. Sukoharjo Regency is known as the center of the herbal medicine industry in Indonesia, but it does not yet have integrated facilities that represent this identity architecturally. The design method uses a descriptive qualitative approach through the analysis of three main characters: object characters (documentary, educational, interactive, multisensory), character actors (tourists, students, herbal medicine communities), and location characters (strategic, local identity, herbal culture). The synthesis of the three characters results in the basic concept of Immersive Journey of Jamu, which presents a comprehensive journey experience of knowing herbal medicine starting from history, raw materials, processing processes, benefits, to modern innovations. The application of digital technology such as projection mapping, motion sensors, interactive touchscreens, and audiovisual installations is an interactive medium for conveying information. The result is a space program that integrates immersive showrooms, herbal gardens, taste laboratories, herbal medicine workshops, and other supporting facilities in one coherent and representative unit of Sukoharjo's identity as a Jamu City.

Positive Psychology-Based Psychoeducation to Improve Generation Z Self-Esteem

Alda Syafira, Djudiyah — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a positive psychology-based digital psychoeducation intervention in improving self-esteem among Generation Z individuals who experience upward social comparison on social media. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 13 participants selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was delivered digitally over four days and included gratitude journaling and character strengths components. Self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale before and after the intervention. Results showed that the mean self-esteem score increased from 26.69 at pretest to 28.31 at posttest, with a medium effect size (Cohen's d = 0.50). However, the paired sample t-test indicated that this increase was not statistically significant (t = -1.819, df = 12, p = 0.094). These findings suggest a promising, though inconclusive, direction of change, indicating that brief digital positive psychology interventions may hold potential benefits for improving self-esteem that warrant further testing with larger samples and a control group

Design of a Pyrolysis Reactor for Polystyrene Plastic Waste and Numerical Analysis of Temperature and Thermal Stress Distribution Using Ansys

Ali Syamsuddin, Moh Mufti — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The difficult to degrade polystyrene (PS) waste requires efficient pyrolysis technology to be converted into styrene fuel through a 450°C thermal process. This study designed a batch reactor with a conical cylinder (with a diameter of 30 cm, a height of 30 cm, a diameter of 5.08 cm at the base of the cone, and a height of 15 cm, with a capacity of 3 kg of polystyrene) using Ansys for steady-state thermal-structural analysis to determine the best material based on the highest safety factor. The best material was SS 316, with a heating power of 1404 W, which produced the highest temperature distribution of 564,42 ℃ at the surface near the burner. Meanwhile, the internal surface of the reactor had reached 542,88 ℃, which could degrade the polystyrene pyrolysis temperature at an operating temperature of 450 ℃, with an average temperature of 144,4 ℃. The total heat flux on this material is 0.096078 W/mm² in the area of the connection. The safety factor for the reactor with SS 316 material is 1.44 at the maximum Von Misses stress due to the actual thermal gradient of 200,32 MPa.

The Impact of Democratic Parenting on the Language Development of Children Aged 3–5 Years

Nurhuda Akbar, Nunuk Nurhayati — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The first five years constitute the "golden years" of an individual's life. This peak period of development requires appropriate stimulation to achieve optimal growth. It is also a time when intelligence, skills, language abilities, and social skills are formed. A child's growth and development are influenced by various factors, including genetics and environmental elements (biological, physical, and psychosocial factors, as well as family dynamics and cultural customs). Parenting styles significantly influence child development, particularly regarding communication. Parenting practices—such as emotional attachment, verbal interaction, and the structuring of the communication environment—play a crucial role in either supporting or hindering a child's speech development. Parenting styles that lack communication or interaction can lead to difficulties in a child's speech skill acquisition. Every child grows in a unique way. Child development encompasses four domains: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, personal-social skills, and language. This study employed a cross-sectional research design with a sample size of 25 participants. The independent variable was parenting style, and the dependent variable was the child's language development. The Spearman’s rho test results yielded a value of p = 0.05 < α = 0.018, indicating a relationship between parenting style and language development in children aged 3–5 years; specifically, children raised under a democratic parenting style demonstrated superior verbal abilities compared to those raised under authoritarian or permissive styles. Consequently, the roles of both mother and father in child-rearing have a significant impact on language development. Mothers, who typically interact more frequently with their children at home, play a key role in providing language stimulation.

This study describes the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in Catholic Religious Education at Santo Paulus Catholic Junior High School, Palangka Raya. A qualitative descriptive design was used to understand the phenomenon in its natural setting. Data were collected from three informants, two Catholic Religious Education teachers and one principal, through interviews and documentation, supplemented by a questionnaire distributed to forty-four students, then analysed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that PjBL was implemented through six systematic steps, with Catholic faith values integrated at every stage. Project forms included videos, posters, Scripture drama, wall magazines, and social and environmental action, of which the latter were most meaningful. Student involvement was generally high, with active participation and good collaboration, although roughly thirty percent remained passive. Supporting factors included adequate facilities and parental support, whereas inhibiting factors involved limited time and uneven participation
