Abstract

Meditation has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance cognitive function and promote mental well-being. Previous studies have suggested that meditation can lead to structural changes in the brain, particularly in regions associated with attention, memory, and emotional regulation. However, the precise impact of meditation on brain structure and cognitive function in young adults remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effect of regular meditation practice on brain structure changes and cognitive function in young adults. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess brain changes and cognitive function assessments, such as attention, memory, and executive function tests, conducted before and after a 12-week meditation intervention. The results showed significant increases in gray matter density in areas related to attention and emotional regulation, including the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Cognitive testing revealed improvements in attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. These findings suggest that meditation can induce structural changes in the brain that enhance cognitive function, particularly in domains critical for academic and personal development. The study concludes that meditation can be an effective practice for promoting cognitive health and supporting brain development in young adults, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive intervention for cognitive enhancement.

Abstract

The use of digital learning applications has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, offering a range of interactive tools designed to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. As technology continues to influence education, it is essential to explore its impact on children’s cognitive abilities, particularly in school-age children. Learning applications are believed to improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and critical thinking. However, empirical evidence regarding the effects of these applications on children’s cognitive development remains limited. This study aims to investigate the impact of using learning applications on the cognitive abilities of school-age children. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 200 school-age children aged 6-12 years. The children were divided into an experimental group, using learning applications for 12 weeks, and a control group, which continued with traditional learning methods. Cognitive abilities were assessed before and after the intervention using standardized tests measuring attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. The results indicated that children in the experimental group showed significant improvements in cognitive abilities compared to the control group, particularly in memory and problem-solving skills. The study concludes that the use of learning applications positively influences cognitive development in school-age children, providing evidence for the integration of digital tools in educational practices to support cognitive growth.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of information services in improving the understanding of reproductive health of grade IX students at SMP Negeri 6 Klaten. The background of this study is based on the low understanding of adolescents on reproductive issues, which can have an impact on increasing the risk of risky sexual behavior, unwanted pregnancy, and drug abuse. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of four information service meetings. The subjects of the study were 31 grade IX students. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The results showed that the average score of student understanding increased from 66, 60% (moderate category) in the pretest to 78.25 % (high category) in the posttest. The increase occurred in all indicators, with the highest increase in the indicator of understanding sexually transmitted diseases. These findings indicate that information services are effective as an educational strategy in equipping adolescents with healthy knowledge and attitudes towards reproductive issues. Therefore, information services can be used as a preventive approach in reproductive health education in schools.

Abstract

The working environment in factories often demands strong physical and mental strength, which often affects the psychological condition of its employees. This study attempts to see how psychological capital and self-compassion play a role in improving the psychological well-being of factory employees in Kudus. A total of 81 factory employees who have worked for at least one year became participants in this study, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through a psychological scale that measures three main variables, namely psychological capital, self-compassion, and psychological well-being. The results of the analysis show that there is a very significant relationship between psychological capital and self-compassion with psychological well-being with rx12y of 0.763 at a p level of 0.000 (p <0.01), and an effective contribution of 58.3%. This means that psychological capital and self-compassion influence psychological well-being by 58.3% while the other 41.7% is influenced by other factors not examined in other studies. These findings emphasize the importance of the role of mental strength and a positive attitude towards oneself in facing the challenges of the world of work.

Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) impacts nearly half of women worldwide, with mood changes being a primary concern. However, research on young women's subjective experiences, especially in non-Western contexts, remains limited. This qualitative study examined how young adult women experience and cope with premenstrual mood fluctuations, investigating their management strategies and influencing factors. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, six women aged 18-25 years with consistent premenstrual mood symptoms for minimum six months were interviewed. Data analysis revealed three key themes: women's experiences and perceptions of premenstrual mood changes, including identity struggles and contextual influences; diverse coping mechanisms including behavioral, cognitive, and social strategies; and the role of socioeconomic factors, education, and technology in PMS management. Participants employed various adaptive approaches, ranging from self-care routines and exercise to seeking social support and using digital resources. Results demonstrate that PMS experiences are complex and multifaceted, highlighting the importance of personalized, culturally appropriate methods for understanding and addressing premenstrual mood fluctuations in young women. These findings contribute to better comprehension of PMS management in early adulthood.

Abstract

The integration of digital media in education has become essential for enhancing students’ cognitive development and cultural awareness, particularly at the elementary level. However, the use of interactive platforms that simultaneously stimulate cognitive processes and promote local cultural literacy remains limited, especially in Islamic integrated elementary schools. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Lectora Inspire-based learning media in stimulating cognitive abilities and improving local cultural literacy among students at an Islamic Integrated Elementary School (SDIT) in Tanah Datar, Indonesia. Using a research and development approach adapted from the Borg and Gall model, the study was conducted through stages of needs analysis, product development, expert validation, small group trials, and field testing. The results show that the developed media met high validity and practicality standards, with average expert validation scores reaching 3.7 (very good category). A pretest-posttest design applied to 30 students demonstrated significant improvement in students’ understanding of local culture and indicators of cognitive engagement (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that Lectora Inspire can serve as an effective digital tool for integrating cognitive stimulation with culturally relevant content. This study contributes to innovative strategies in Islamic primary education by fostering both cognitive and cultural dimensions.
