berlangsung melalui internet, media sosial, aplikasi pesan instan, surat elektronik, konferensi video, dan berbagai platform digital. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dalam mendukung komunikasi digital serta mengidentifikasi manfaat, perubahan pola komunikasi, dan tantangan yang muncul dalam penggunaannya. Penelitian menggunakan metode kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif. Literatur diperoleh dari artikel ilmiah, laporan lembaga resmi, serta regulasi yang relevan, dengan prioritas pada publikasi dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir. Literatur dianalisis melalui tahap identifikasi, seleksi, klasifikasi, analisis, dan sintesis berdasarkan tema penelitian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa teknologi informasi telah berkembang dari sekadar perangkat pengolahan data menjadi infrastruktur komunikasi yang menghubungkan individu, kelompok, organisasi, pemerintah, dan masyarakat secara lebih cepat dan luas. Teknologi digital meningkatkan kecepatan penyampaian informasi, interaktivitas, aksesibilitas, dokumentasi, serta kemampuan melakukan komunikasi lintas ruang dan waktu. Namun, perkembangan tersebut juga diikuti persoalan berupa misinformasi, disinformasi, pelanggaran privasi, keamanan data, cyberbullying, ujaran kebencian, tekanan untuk selalu terhubung, dan kesenjangan digital. Oleh karena itu, efektivitas komunikasi digital tidak hanya ditentukan oleh ketersediaan teknologi, tetapi juga oleh literasi digital, etika komunikasi, kemampuan mengevaluasi informasi, dan kesadaran terhadap keamanan data. Kajian ini menghasilkan model integratif yang menempatkan literasi digital, etika digital, kemampuan berpikir kritis, dan keamanan informasi sebagai faktor penguat pemanfaatan teknologi informasi untuk menciptakan komunikasi digital yang efektif dan bertanggung jawab.

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…
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.

llenges, such as separating text from practice and neglecting indigenous from outsider views. This article tries to show that these discourse and debates reveal a bigger issue where there is no clear way to examine how research methods influence our understanding of Islam. This study employs a qualitative method, conceptual approach to review relevant key words in Islamic studies and related fields, such as Orientalism, discursive tradition, lived religion, cosmopolitanism, and self-reflexity method. Instead of commenting methods as appropriate or not, the analysis looks at what each approach helps scholars notice, what it overlooks, and how it fits into larger systems of knowledge and power. Drawing on this analysis, the article introduces a self-reflexive framework with three main parts: epistemological reflexivity, positional reflexivity, and dialogical reflexivity. This framework is meant to help researchers plan and review Islamic studies projects, especially in Muslim-majority and less-explored areas, by encouraging them to consider texts, practices, and local ideas without making them too simple. The article contributes to ongoing debates by offering a new approach that moves beyond basic divisions and encourages a more open and thoughtful study of Islam.

Abstract:Women engaged in marine product processing play a crucial role in the national fisheries value chain, yet this strategic contribution has not been matched with formal recognition, access to resources, or decent welfare levels.…
evels. This study aims to analyze the influence of religiosity and social factors on the empowerment and welfare of marine product processing women at the National Fisheries Port (PPN) Karangantu, Serang City, Banten, as well as to formulate a development strategy based on the synergy of these two factors. This research employs a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative methods through PLS-SEM analysis on 235 respondents, and qualitative methods through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The results show that religiosity and social factors have a positive and significant effect on women’s empowerment, which in turn impacts welfare improvement across economic, social, and psychological dimensions. Findings also reveal that religious values which currently focus mainly on ritual aspects, alongside patriarchal social norms, serve as key barriers; meanwhile, community support and the integration of religious values into economic activities act as major reinforcing factors. Based on SWOT analysis, this study proposes strategies for strengthening local value-based institutions, integrating empowerment programs with religious activities, and advocating for policies that support coastal women. This research contributes new insights by presenting an integrated model of religiosity and social dimensions in the empowerment of women in the fisheries sector, an area that has not been widely explored in previous studies.

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.
