Empowerment of Cassava Leaf Silkworm Cultivation Groups Through Processing of Ceara Rubber Tree (Manihot Glaziovii) as Local Food Potential
Full text linkFood security has become an increasingly urgent global issue as the impact of climate change and the global food crisis intensify. Indonesia, as an agrarian country, has great potential to strengthen its food system to be self-sufficient and sustainable, one of which is through the empowerment of local farmer groups. This article discusses efforts to enhance food security through agricultural product diversification by leveraging untapped local potential, specifically the processing of rubber tree (Manihot glaziovii) tuber skins. Empowerment activities were conducted with the Sutra Alam Gunung Sewu group in Gunungkidul Regency, DIY, which had previously only utilized the plant's leaves as silkworm feed. The tubers and bark of this tree, which are nutrient-rich but contain high levels of cyanide acid, have the potential to be developed as an alternative food source if processed properly. The empowerment program was implemented to enhance the group's capacity to process the tuber bark into useful products. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments to measure improvements in members' knowledge and skills. The results showed a 120% increase in general knowledge and an 84% increase in understanding of information regarding the potential of local food and the processing of risky materials into safe consumption. This initiative contributes to food diversification and the economic empowerment of local communities in supporting national food security
Implementasi Metode Ishihara Untuk Aplikasi Tes Buta warna pada Siswa SMK [Implementation of the Ishihara Method for Color Blindness Test Applications for Vocational High School Students]
No full textAbstract. Color blindness poses a barrier for vocational students in programs requiring visual accuracy, such as design, animation, electricity, and fashion. Students are typically required to submit Ishihara-based test results from clinics, yet schools often revalidate them manually. This manual process is inefficient, subjective, and lacks documentation. This program developed a digital Ishihara-based application containing 24 test slides with automated evaluation, operable offline. Trial results show consistency with medical tests and ease of use for teachers. The application improves efficiency, accuracy, and trust in student selection. Theoretically, the program aligns with the Technology Acceptance Model and a community-based technology empowerment approach. It is expected to serve as a practical and sustainable solution for visual assessment in vocational school admissions. Abstrak. Buta warna menjadi hambatan bagi siswa SMK yang menempuh jurusan berbasis keterampilan visual seperti desain, animasi, listrik, dan busana. Umumnya, siswa diwajibkan menyertakan hasil tes buta warna menggunakan metode Ishihara dari puskesmas, namun guru tetap melakukan verifikasi ulang secara manual. Proses ini dinilai tidak efisien, subjektif, dan tidak terdokumentasi. Kegiatan ini mengembangkan aplikasi digital berbasis metode Ishihara yang memuat 24 slide uji dan memberikan evaluasi otomatis tanpa koneksi internet. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan kesesuaian dengan hasil tes medis dan kemudahan penggunaan oleh guru. Aplikasi ini tidak hanya mendukung efisiensi, tetapi juga meningkatkan akurasi dan kepercayaan dalam proses seleksi siswa. Secara teori, program ini relevan dengan Technology Acceptance Model dan pendekatan pemberdayaan komunitas berbasis teknologi. Aplikasi ini diharapkan menjadi solusi praktis dan berkelanjutan dalam pemeriksaan visual siswa SMK secara digital

A Phenomenological Inquiry into Discipline Formation among Early Childhood Learners: Islamic Parenting Practices in a Pesantren Setting
Full text linkDespite the growing prominence of Islamic parenting literature, few studies have empirically explored how consistent Islamic parenting is practiced and experienced in pesantren-based early childhood education settings. This study aims to fill this gap by systematically investigating the lived experiences of parents and teachers at PAUD Az-Zikro Islamic Boarding School in shaping young children's discipline through Islamic parenting principles. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected from four key informants—including parents, teachers, and caregivers—via in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, with rigorous validation through member checking and triangulation. The results reveal that the formation of discipline in early childhood is fostered by four interconnected components: adult exemplary behavior, consistent alignment of home–school rules, habituation of worship and daily routines, and ongoing value internalization through gentle reminders. Indicators of discipline observed include independence, responsibility, voluntary obedience, time management, and self-awareness. The unique pesantren environment, characterized by strong value alignment and integrated religious-social routines, reinforces the effectiveness of these strategies, although challenges remain from media and peer influences. This study advances theoretical understanding and provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to implement holistic character education strategies in both Islamic and broader early childhood contexts
Loneliness and its impact on the psychological well-being of Indonesian students abroad: A cross-cultural perspective
Full text linkThe increase in the number of international students from Indonesia continues. Cultural and environmental differences between home countries and study destinations present significant challenges, one of which is loneliness, which is a common problem among students. Studies show that loneliness affects the mental and academic health of international students, including those from Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of loneliness on psychological well-being and its six dimensions in Indonesian students studying abroad. This study used a quantitative correlational approach, with the research instruments being the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Psychological Wellbeing Scale. A total of 214 participants were selected through purposive sampling and analysed using multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results showed that the majority of participants had low levels of loneliness (79.4%) and high psychological well-being (69.2%). Furthermore, loneliness had a negative role on each dimension of psychological well-being and overall psychological well-being with a range of 0.232-0.518. Thus, it can be concluded that the lower the loneliness of university students, the higher their psychological well-being and conversely. The findings imply the need to increase students' awareness of psychological health and the active role of student organisations in facilitating self-adjustment and strengthening social relationships to maintain the psychological well-being of Indonesian students abroad
Frontlines of Fear and Healing: COVID-19 Community Quarantine Narratives of Filipino Community Health Workers
No full textAlthough Filipino community health workers (CHWs) played a critical role during the COVID-19 community quarantine, many of them carried physical and psychological burdens. While various studies have indicated the negative experiences of healthcare workers during a health crisis, limited studies have explored the fear-related experiences of Filipino CHWs and their coping strategies to navigate these emotional challenges. Through a phenomenological study, this research gathered the narratives of seven female CHWs, including five Barangay Health Workers, one Municipal Midwife, and one Municipal Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit officer, assigned to three different barangays in Bay, Laguna. A semi-structured interview allowed the participants to share their fear and healing experiences during community quarantine. The results revealed that Filipino CHWs endured fear and anxiety about their health, as well as the well-being of their family members and the vulnerable population. Hence, they distanced themselves from their families by living in the workplace during the quarantine period. Despite these fear-related experiences, the families of the participants remained supportive, standing by their side even as they maintained distance. Coworkers also acted as a second family, offering emotional and practical support. These meaningful relationships helped them endure the challenges of the pandemic and continue their service to the community. These findings called on policymakers to empower the healthcare sector by not only prioritizing the physical well-being of CHWs but also their psychological welfare. Furthermore, support groups and health professionals may consider the role of family members in addressing the mental health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
How Romantic Relationships Shape Self-Worth: A Qualitative Exploration of Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem in Early Adulthood
Full text linkRomantic relationships in early adulthood have been shown to have a significant impact on an individual's sense of self-worth, particularly when self-esteem becomes dependent on relational dynamics. This study explores the manifestation and impact of Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem (RCSE) on psychological well-being among young adults in Padang, Indonesia. A qualitative survey approach was utilized to collect data from 200 participants (75 males and 125 females) through open-ended questionnaires designed to capture personal experiences and perceptions related to self-worth in romantic contexts. Thematic analysis was conducted using MAXQDA software in three stages: open coding to identify key concepts, axial coding to uncover patterns, and selective coding to synthesize overarching themes. The findings of the present study indicate that external validation from romantic partners plays a pivotal role in shaping self-evaluation and emotional states. Dependence on partner approval has been demonstrated to correspond with fluctuations in self-esteem, which in turn has been demonstrated to impact overall psychological well-being. The findings underscore the importance of addressing emotional vulnerabilities in romantic relationships. The necessity for targeted interventions, such as psychoeducational programs and emotional regulation training, is also suggested. The purpose of these interventions is to foster emotional resilience and promote healthy relational development during early adulthood
Praktek dan perkembangan hukum islam pada masa modern (Sejarah Hukum Islam di Indonesia) [Practice and Development of Islamic Law in the Modern Era (History of Islamic Law in Indonesia)]
No full textAbstract. This study reviews the practice and development of Islamic Law in the Modern Era (History of Islamic Law in Indonesia). The aim of this research is, firstly, to provide both academic and practical benefits. Academically, the research is not only useful for the development of the author’s knowledge but can also benefit future researchers. The importance of this research for future researchers lies especially in the availability of initial data, characteristics, and issues that have not yet received focused analysis. Practically, this research serves as both an information source and a solution offered for the development of Islamic family law in Indonesia. This study is a library research, qualitative, and descriptive-analytical in nature. The results of this research indicate that changes and developments in Islamic law are an inseparable part of the effort to adapt Islamic law dynamically. Therefore, with every change in conditions and situations in a particular region, there should be efforts to harmonize the application of Islamic law, without forgetting the values contained in the Qur'an. For this reason, the process of ijtihad must continue to be encouraged, especially when encountering new problems or different conditions. Otherwise, Islamic law will stagnate and be unable to respond to the challenges of the times. Abstrak. Penelitian ini mengulas tentang praktek dan perkembangan Hukum Islam pada Masa Modern (Sejarah Hukum Islam di Indonesia). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk pertama, Dari hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberi kegunaan secara akademis dan praktis, dari sisi akademis kegunaan penelitian di samping berguna bagi pengembangan ilmu penulis juga dapat bermanfaat bagi peneliti-peneliti yang akandatang. Pentingnya hasil penelitian ini bagi peneliti-peneliti yang akandatang terutama terletak pada sisi ketersediaan data awal, karakteristik termasuk masalah-masalah yang belum mendapatkan analisis yang fokus. Secara praktis penelitian ini berguna bagi informasi dan sekaligus solusi yang ditawarkan bagi perkembangan hukum keluarga Islam di Indonesia. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian pustaka (library research), bersifat kualitatif, deskriptif analitis. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini Perubahan dan perkembangan hukum Islam itu merupakan bagian yang tak terpisahkan dalam upaya penyesuaian hukum Islam yang dinamis tersebut. Karena itu, maka setiap perubahan kondisi dan situasi wilayah tertentu hendaknya ada upaya untuk saling tarik-menarik kesesuaian pemberlakuan hukum Islam, tetapi tidak melupakan nilai-nilai yang telah terkandung di dalam al-Quran. Untuk itulah, proses ijtihad harus terus digalakan, jika mendapatkan permasalahan baru ataupun kondisi yang berbeda. Jika tidak, hukum Islam akan mandeg, ajeg dan tidak bisa menjawab tantangan zaman
