Abstract:Romantic relationships are one form of interpersonal relationship that can influence the emotional and psychological conditions of university students. Romantic relationships can provide emotional support, comfort, attention,…
tion, a place to share problems, and motivation. However, problems within romantic relationships, such as lack of communication, dishonesty, betrayal, and lack of family approval, can also become sources of emotional and psychological pressure. This study aims to describe the dynamics of romantic relationships and their impact on the mental health of UIN Palopo students. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The informants consisted of four UIN Palopo students selected using purposive sampling. The informants consisted of one male student and three female students from the Islamic Guidance and Counseling, Islamic Religious Education, and Islamic Education Management study programs, all of whom were eighth-semester students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the dynamics of romantic relationships experienced by students developed through several stages, namely introduction, emotional closeness, commitment, conflict, and the end of the relationship. Communication, attention, trust, openness, and emotional attachment were important elements in the development and maintenance of relationships. Romantic relationships had positive impacts in the form of emotional support, comfort, attention, a place to share stories and problems, and increased motivation. Meanwhile, negative impacts included sadness, disappointment, feelings of loss, stress, anxiety, frustration, mood changes, difficulty regulating emotions, decreased appetite, loss of motivation, and reduced social interaction. Thus, romantic relationships can have both positive and negative impacts on students' mental health depending on the dynamics and experiences that occur within the relationship.
Abstract:Drug abuse is a problem that can be influenced by various interrelated factors. This study aims to apply Mamdani Fuzzy logic in predicting the level of drug abuse in Padang City based on several factors obtained from documentation…
umentation and interviews. The input variables used consist of the Age of the Perpetrator, Environment, Socializing, Gender, and Family, while the output variable is the Level of Drug Abuse with Low and High categories. The research stages include data collection, determining variables and fuzzy sets, fuzzification, forming if-then rules, inference using the minimum operator, composition using the maximum operator, and defuzzification using the centroid method. A total of 64 fuzzy rules are used to connect the combination of input variables with the output. Testing is done through manual calculations and implementation using MATLAB. The test results show that the output categories from manual calculations and MATLAB are the same in three test data, namely High, High, and Low. These results indicate that the Mamdani Fuzzy method can be used in modeling the level of drug abuse based on the variables used.

not been optimally implemented. This study implements the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm combined with Huffman compression to protect the confidentiality and integrity of student grade files in Excel (.xlsx) format, and evaluates its effectiveness through functional, performance, and security testing. The system was developed as a Python desktop application with a CustomTkinter interface, in which the encryption process runs Huffman compression before AES-128, while integrity verification uses SHA-256 hashing. Testing was conducted on seven student grade files from MA Ma'ahid Kudus. The results show that all files were successfully encrypted and decrypted without failure or data alteration, with encryption times of 0.0142-0.0828 seconds and decryption times of 0.0046-0.1417 seconds. The SHA-256 hash values of the original and decrypted files were identical for all samples, yielding 100% recovery accuracy, while the file size increase from padding and header insertion ranged only from 1,092 to 1,101 bytes. The study concludes that the combination of AES-128 and Huffman compression is an effective and efficient solution for protecting student grade data in educational institutions.
Abstract:This descriptive qualitative research analyzes the effectiveness of policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City. Four indicators from George…
orge C. Edward III's policy implementation theory—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—are employed as the analytical framework. Field data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation were systematically analyzed using the data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings indicate that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City has been running fairly well but has not yet been optimal. In the communication aspect, coordination among implementers has been functioning well; however, information dissemination to target groups and the general public remains suboptimal. In the resources aspect, policy implementation has been supported by human resources, authority, and facilities, yet is still constrained by limited personnel and underutilized facilities and databases. In the disposition aspect, officials demonstrate commitment, responsibility, and a professional attitude in implementing the policy; however, guidance programs have not been able to reach all vagrants and beggars on a sustainable basis. In the bureaucratic structure aspect, policy implementation has been supported by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), clear task distribution, and inter-division coordination; nevertheless, SOP implementation in the field still needs optimization to ensure services reach all target groups. Based on these findings, the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City needs to enhance communication and socialization to target groups, strengthen human resources and supporting facilities, optimize guidance and empowerment programs, and improve inter-agency coordination so that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars can be more effective in improving social welfare.
Abstract:This study aims to improve children's singing ability through the use of video-based learning in second-grade students at SDN 6 Kabila, Bone Bolango Regency. The research problem identified was the low singing ability of…
students due to the lack of engaging learning media. Video-based learning was employed to help students understand pitch, rhythm, and lyrics, thereby enhancing their confidence, interest, and singing skills in music education. This study adopted a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design following the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model, conducted in two cycles (Cycle I with two meetings and Cycle II with one meeting). The subjects were 21 second-grade students (9 males and 12 females). Data collection techniques included observation, tests (performance assessments), interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine improvements in students' singing ability across four indicators: pitch accuracy, rhythmic accuracy, lyric mastery, and expression with self-confidence. The results showed that students' initial singing ability was low, with only 28% achieving the minimum mastery criterion (KKM). After implementing video-based learning, students' mastery increased to 43% in Cycle I Meeting I, 62% in Cycle I Meeting II, and 90% in Cycle II Meeting I. Teacher activity improved from 60% (adequate) to 96% (excellent), and student activity increased from 59% (adequate) to 96% (excellent). These findings demonstrate that video-based learning effectively improves children's singing ability, confidence, and active participation in music education at the elementary school level.

Abstract:This study is motivated by a fundamental problem concerning how the character-education values contained in the book of Akhlāq Lil Banīn can be implemented consistently and meaningfully within Arabic language learning, amid…
amid an intense schedule, a diversity of methods, and the gap between the readiness of learners and educators in the boarding environment. This study aims to analyze and describe the implementation of character-education values from the book of Akhlāq Lil Banīn in Arabic language learning activities at the MBS Al Mujahidin Islamic Boarding School, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. The method used is qualitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation; informants were selected by purposive sampling, and data analysis comprised data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the implementation of character values takes place integratively, intensively, and contextually through a combination of formal school activities and non-formal dormitory activities such as mufrodat, hiwar, muhadhoroh, qirā’ah, muḥādatsah, and integrated Arabic learning. These activities not only develop linguistic competence but also serve as a medium for internalizing religious, disciplinary, responsibility, and social-care values through habituation and role modeling. Challenges were also found in the form of differing prior abilities among learners, a dense activity schedule, and the dynamic assignment of educators, all of which affect the absorption and internalization of values. It is concluded that the success of Akhlāq Lil Banīn-based character education depends heavily on pedagogical adaptation, differentiated learning, and management of the activity rhythm.

life. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used to reduce joint pain is a warm ginger compress because it has anti-inflammatory effects and provides warmth to the painful area. Objective: To determine the effect of warm ginger compress therapy on reducing joint pain levels in older adults. Methods: This study used a descriptive case study design involving two older adults with joint pain in Kampung Guwosari, RT 02/RW 27, Jebres, Surakarta. The intervention was conducted for 3 consecutive days, once daily for 15–20 minutes. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results: Respondent 1 experienced a decrease in pain scale from 7 to 4, while Respondent 2 experienced a decrease from 4 to 2 after receiving warm ginger compress therapy for 3 days. Conclusion: Warm ginger compress therapy can help reduce joint pain levels in older adults and can be used as a simple, safe, and affordable non-pharmacological therapy.
Abstract:The Qur'an, as the primary source of Islamic teachings, contains legal verses that require in-depth interpretation for proper application, one notable example being Tafsir al-Maraghi by Ahmad Musthafa al-Maraghi, a contemporary…
mporary Egyptian scholar known for his moderate stance and independence from madhhab fanaticism. This study aims to reveal al-Maraghi's typology of ijtihad in interpreting legal verses, identify the legal products he produced, and examine his responses to contemporary legal issues. The research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach and fiqhi tafsir framework, using Tafsir al-Maraghi as the primary source alongside various ahkam tafsir and fiqh works as secondary sources, analyzed through content analysis and comparative reasoning. The findings show that al-Maraghi developed an integrative ijtihad model combining five typologies, namely bayani, tarjihi, maqashidi, istislahi, and tajdidi, with maqashid al-shari'ah orientation as the most dominant character, spanning worship, marriage, inheritance-testament, transactions, politics, and criminal law. The study concludes that this ijtihad pattern produces moderate, contextual legal interpretations relevant to the development of contemporary Islamic law in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to apply a systematic contemporary maqashid approach.
