Muthia, Gina, Syofiah, Putri Nelly, Lifaniura, Lushiana, Irawan, Ade Ayu
Abstract: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem influenced by various direct and indirect factors, including maternal knowledge of nutrition, maternal education, and family income. This study aimed to determine the relationship… p between family characteristics and the incidence of stunting among children aged 24–59 months in Nagari Sinuruik, within the working area of Talu Public Health Center. This study used a quantitative descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted from February to August 2024, with data collection carried out from June 26 to 30, 2024. The study population consisted of 85 children aged 24–59 months, with a sample of 46 respondents selected using random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 26 toddlers (56.5%) experienced stunting, 28 respondents (60.9%) had poor nutritional knowledge, 28 respondents (60.9%) had a lower educational level, and 24 respondents (52.2%) had low family income. There were significant relationships between maternal knowledge and the incidence of stunting (p=0.007), maternal education and the incidence of stunting (p=0.012), and family income and the incidence of stunting (p=0.009). The study concluded that maternal knowledge, maternal education, and family income were associated with the incidence of stunting among children aged 24–59 months. Public health center staff are expected to continue monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers and improve nutrition education for mothers, adolescents, and prospective brides and grooms.

Syofiah, Putri Nelly, Primasari, Eka Putri, Muthia, Gina, Hayati, Masni, Trisdawati, Tiya
Abstract: Early childhood development is influenced by nutrition, health, caregiving, and opportunities for age-appropriate stimulation (World Health Organization, 2020). This study examined the association between maternal knowledge… dge of early stimulation and developmental screening outcomes and compared developmental outcomes between stunted and non-stunted toddlers. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 125 mother–toddler pairs in the working area of Balaiselasa Public Health Center, Pesisir Selatan Regency, Indonesia. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire, developmental status was screened using the Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP), and stunting was determined from length/height-for-age according to age and sex. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Chi-Square test. Moderate maternal knowledge was found in 59 mothers (47.2%). Developmental screening outcomes were appropriate in 68 toddlers (54.4%), questionable in 48 (38.4%), and deviant in 9 (7.2%). Maternal knowledge was associated with developmental screening outcomes (χ²=10.187; df=4; p=0.037; Cramer’s V=0.202). Stunting status was also associated with developmental category (χ²=6.279; df=2; p=0.043). Because some expected cell counts were below five, the chi-square findings should be confirmed using an exact or Monte Carlo test. The findings support integrated maternal education, developmental screening, growth monitoring, and nutritional follow-up in primary health services.

Widianto, Brian Kurniawan, Mahendra, Rezza Adiluhung Prasetya, Subekti, Anjas Asmara, Sutrisno, Tri, Prasetyo, Koko
Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship between cardiorespiratory endurance and the attention and learning focus of Physical Education Study Program students. Cardiorespiratory endurance is a component of physical&#8230; fitness that plays an important role in supporting physical activity and cognitive function. The ability of attention and learning focus is an important aspect in the learning process because it affects the understanding of material and student learning outcomes. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research sample consisted of 20 Physical Education Study Program students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Cardiorespiratory endurance was measured using the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT) to obtain an estimated VO₂max, while attention and learning focus were measured using a Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between cardiorespiratory endurance and student attention and learning focus (r = 0.587; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that students with better levels of cardiorespiratory endurance tend to have higher levels of focus and attention during the learning process.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTING STYLES AND CHILDREN'S NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN KUTA BARO DISTRICT

Putra, Yadi, Mustafa, Muhammad Fendra, Sakdah, Nurul, Yusrika, Yusrika, Daud, M.
Abstract: The issue of nutritional status among toddlers in Aceh Province, particularly in Kuta Baro Subdistrict, remains a serious concern due to the high prevalence of undernutrition and stunting. This study aims to determine the&#8230; e relationship between parenting practices and children’s nutritional status in Kuta Baro Subdistrict. A descriptive-correlational method with a quantitative approach was used. The study population consisted of all 2,132 toddlers in Kuta Baro Subdistrict, with a sample of 96 toddlers selected using simple random sampling. Data on parenting practices were collected via a questionnaire, while nutritional status was measured using the weight-for-age indicator. Data analysis was conducted using a correlation test to determine the relationship between parenting practices and children’s nutritional status. The results indicate a significant relationship between parental child-rearing practices and children’s nutritional status (p=0.000). Positive and attentive child-rearing practices are correlated with optimal nutritional status, whereas inappropriate child-rearing practices are associated with poor to very poor nutritional status. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Department of Health and educational institutions enhance parenting education and support programs for parents to improve children’s nutritional status in the region. Future research is expected to examine other factors influencing children’s nutritional status using more comprehensive methods.

INTEGRATING AI-ASSISTANT (COPILOT) TO IMPROVE LEARNERS’ AUTONOMOUS LEARNING OF ACADEMIC ENGLISH TEXTS

Ardiansah, Dian
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) integration in language education offers new opportunities to address challenges in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This study examines the effectiveness of Copilot in enhancing&#8230; academic English literacy among Indonesian undergraduates. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group, 60 students were divided into experimental and control groups. Instruments included comprehension tests, learner autonomy questionnaires, and rubric-based writing assessments. Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group. Academic text comprehension increased, particularly in vocabulary mastery (+12%), rhetorical structures (+15%), and recognition of formal registers (+10%). Copilot usage positively predicted learner autonomy, with gains in goal-setting (+14%), strategy selection (+11%), and self-evaluation (+13%). Writing performance also improved, especially in coherence (+13%), argumentation (+16%), and adherence to conventions (+12%). The findings confirm Copilot’s role as both corrective aid and developmental partner, fostering academic literacy and learner autonomy. Implications suggest integrating AI tools into EFL curricula to strengthen academic discourse and independent learning.

THE SCIENCE OF ABROGATION (ABROGATION): MODERN CRITIQUE

Muhammedh, Dheen
Abstract: Abrogation (abrogation) holds a central, vexed position in Islamic legal-theological hermeneutics. Classical uṣūl al-fiqh elaborated a technical theory of abrogation that attempted to mediate the diachronic process of revelation&#8230; revelation and the demands of fixity of legal judgment (ḥukm). Tradition receipts that later scripture abrogates earlier scripture wherever actual, unavoidable contradiction is found, classically expressed as "al-nāsikh wa-l-mansūkh.". Pre-modern thinkers classified modes and cases of abrogation, inferred them from revelational phases, and counted suspected cases throughout the Qur'an and Sunna. Modern scholarship avoids both epistemic pretensions and hyperbolic earlier assertions of abrogation. The article tracks early meanings, introduces intratraditional caution that moderated abrogation, and evaluates recent re-analyses based on coherence theory, maqāṣid (purposes), historicization in context, and ethics. It argues that abrogation was included in pre-modern dogmatics as a component of a package of other hermeneutical strategies (specification, restriction, prioritization, suspension) and that available resources allow for a less ambitious, economy-of-means approach. A renovated dogma leaner, evidence-based, and syncretized with maqāṣid and semantics can ensure the normativity of revelation and make the law more attentive to modern moral concerns, such as gender justice, religious pluralism, and violence. The paper reaches its climax with the proposal of a "manifest conflict resolution" regime. where abrogation is held in reserve as a last resort and not the initial starting point and has ramification for legal rulings (fatwā), legal codification and education more widely.

Abstract: Kematangan karier merupakan salah satu aspek penting yang perlu dimiliki peserta didik sebagai bekal dalam menentukan pilihan pendidikan lanjutan maupun pekerjaan di masa depan. Salah satu faktor yang diduga berhubungan&#8230; dengan kematangan karier adalah keikutsertaan siswa dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kematangan karier antara siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dengan siswa yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Kota Serang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode komparatif. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 404 siswa yang berasal dari MAN 1 Kota Serang dan MAN 2 Kota Serang, yang dipilih menggunakan teknik stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan angket kematangan karier yang disusun berdasarkan enam aspek kematangan karier yaitu orientasi karier, informasi dan perencanaan karier, konsistensi pilihan karier, pemantapan karakteristik diri, kemandirian dalam memilih karier, serta kebijaksanaan dalam memilih karier. Data dianalisis melalui uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, dan uji komparatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kematangan karier siswa secara umum berada pada kategori baik dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 194,16. Namun demikian, hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dan siswa yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler (Sig. = 0,347 > 0,05). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa keikutsertaan dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler bukan merupakan faktor yang membedakan tingkat kematangan karier siswa. Kematangan karier diduga lebih dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor lain, seperti pemahaman diri, dukungan keluarga, pengalaman belajar, layanan bimbingan karier, dan akses terhadap informasi karier. Career maturity is an important aspect that students need to develop in preparing for future educational and occupational choices. One factor that is assumed to be related to career maturity is participation in extracurricular activities. This study aimed to examine the differences in career maturity between students who participated in extracurricular activities and those who did not in State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in Serang City. This study employed a quantitative approach using a comparative research design. The sample consisted of 404 students from MAN 1 Serang City and MAN 2 Serang City selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a career maturity questionnaire six dimensions of career maturity: career orientation, career information and planning, consistency of career preferences, crystallization of self-characteristics, career independence, and wisdom in career choice. Data were analyzed using normality testing, homogeneity testing, and comparative analysis. The results indicated that students' career maturity was generally at a good level, with a mean score of 194.16. However, the hypothesis testing revealed no significant difference in career maturity between students who participated in extracurricular activities and those who did not (Sig. = 0.347 > 0.05). These findings suggest that participation in extracurricular activities is not a distinguishing factor in students' career maturity. Career maturity is likely influenced by other factors, including self-understanding, family support, learning experiences, career guidance services, and access to career information.
