Abstract

The escalating global environmental crisis highlights the need for effective conservation models, a gap addressed by analyzing indigenous knowledge systems. This study’s objective was to investigate and analyze the ethnoforestry principles and practices of the Baduy community in Banten, Indonesia, focusing on their contribution to the sustainable conservation of forests and water resources. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were gathered in Kanekes village through in-depth interviews with customary leaders (Pu'un), participant observation, and documentation of customary laws (pikukuh). The findings reveal a sophisticated ethnoforestry system rooted in the pikukuh customary law, which strictly delineates forest zones into protected (leuweung kolot) and agricultural (huma) areas. This classification governs resource extraction and ensures the preservation of core ecosystem functions. Crucially, water management is intrinsically linked to forest protection, preserving the Ciujung watershed’s quality. The novelty lies in empirically documenting this successful indigenous system. The implication is that the Baduy’s integration of spiritual beliefs with ecological principles offers a proven, replicable model for sustainable development, underscoring the vital importance of incorporating local wisdom into contemporary environmental governance and policy-making.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is increasingly impacted by the pervasive use of digital technology, with rising rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. Traditional therapeutic approaches often face barriers in accessibility and engagement among adolescents. Mobile app-based therapy programs offer a promising alternative by providing accessible, scalable, and user-friendly interventions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a mobile app-based therapy program in addressing mental health challenges among adolescents. The research aimed to assess the impact of the program on reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving emotional regulation, and enhancing overall well-being. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. A total of 120 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years were randomly assigned to an intervention group using the therapy app and a control group receiving standard care. Data were collected using standardized mental health scales and semi-structured interviews. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Participants in the intervention group reported reduced anxiety and depression symptoms and increased emotional regulation scores. The study concludes that mobile app-based therapy programs are effective tools for improving adolescent mental health.

Abstract

Quantum radar is an innovative technology with great potential for detecting hidden objects with high precision. The background of this research is the need for technology that is able to detect objects behind material barriers with better accuracy than conventional radar, especially in search, rescue, and security applications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of quantum radar in detecting hidden objects based on the type of barrier material, thickness, and detection distance. The research was conducted using an experimental method with a quantum radar prototype that was tested on various types of barrier materials, such as wood, concrete, and metal, in a controlled environment. Data is collected to evaluate the detection accuracy at a specific material thickness and the detection distance is between 1 to 7 meters. Quantitative analysis is used to identify patterns of relationships between material parameters, thickness, distance, and accuracy. The results show that quantum radar has the highest accuracy in wood materials with an accuracy rate of 89%, followed by concrete (78%), and metal (65%). The thickness of the material and the greater detection distance lead to a significant decrease in accuracy. The conclusion of this study indicates that quantum radar is effective for detecting objects behind non-conductive materials, but requires further development to overcome the weaknesses of reflective and long-range materials.

Abstract

Libraries are increasingly recognized as dynamic knowledge hubs that must adapt to rapidly changing user expectations and technological advancements. The traditional service-oriented model of librarianship is no longer sufficient to address the complex and evolving needs of diverse user communities. This study aims to explore how librarians function as innovators by implementing participatory co-creation models to redesign library services. A mixed-method research approach was employed, combining a systematic review of 68 empirical studies with multiple case studies from academic and public libraries. Data were collected through document analysis, interviews, and focus group discussions, and were analyzed using thematic coding and cross-case synthesis. Findings reveal that participatory co-creation models foster a culture of innovation, enabling libraries to develop services that are user-centered, technologically integrated, and socially inclusive. The evidence demonstrates that collaborative approaches increase community engagement, enhance digital literacy programs, and expand the relevance of library services in the digital era. This study concludes that librarians, when positioned as co-creators and facilitators of innovation, can transform libraries into participatory spaces that respond effectively to local and global challenges. Recommendations highlight the need to institutionalize co-creation practices as a strategic framework for sustainable library development.

Abstract

Digital technologies have become embedded in the routines of urban life, reshaping how individuals interact, coordinate activities, and construct social meaning. Sociological analyses that focus primarily on macro structures often overlook routine practices through which technology becomes socially significant. This study aims to examine everyday digital practices in urban communities and to analyze how routine technology use contributes to the production of social meaning, interactional norms, and perceptions of belonging. The research employs a qualitative sociological design, combining in-depth interviews, observation of everyday practices, and analysis of digital artifacts to capture lived experiences of urban technology use. The findings indicate that everyday digital practices function as socially meaningful actions rather than neutral technical behaviors. Routine engagement with smartphones, social media, and digital service applications shapes expectations of availability, responsiveness, and social visibility, reinforcing hybrid forms of online and offline interaction. Digital practices are shown to strengthen social coordination while simultaneously reproducing subtle forms of exclusion within urban settings. The study concludes that social meaning in urban communities is increasingly produced through habitual digital practices that organize everyday life. Understanding technology use as a routine social practice provides critical insight into contemporary urban social transformation and underscores the relevance of sociological perspectives in digital society research.
