Sargassum crassifolium is a nutrient-dense brown macroalga with significant potential as a functional food ingredient, yet its utility is often constrained by its capacity to bioaccumulate contaminants in anthropogenically stressed coastal environments. This study evaluates the proximate composition, macro-mineral profiles, and heavy metal concentrations of S. crassifolium flour harvested from Kaisomaru, Tomini Bay, to determine its safety and nutritional viability for industrial applications. Nutritional composition was analyzed using AOAC-standardized methods, while spectrophotometric techniques were employed to quantify essential minerals (Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe) and toxic heavy metals (Cd and As). Results indicate that the seaweed is rich in dietary fiber and ash with low lipid content, confirming its status as a promising source of essential minerals, particularly calcium. However, the heavy metal assessment reveals a critical safety breach regarding arsenic (As) concentrations, which consistently exceed maximum residue limits established by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 2690:2015). This bioaccumulation is driven by the structural "egg-box" configuration of the alginate-rich cell wall matrix, which facilitates the non-selective binding of both essential and toxic ions. Consequently, the study concludes that direct use of this raw biomass is restricted due to food safety risks. These findings establish that standardized post-harvest detoxification benchmarks, such as selective leaching or ionic pre-treatment, are mandatory to mitigate toxic metal burdens while preserving the nutritional integrity of the biomass, providing a necessary baseline for future functional food development.

The skin functions as the primary barrier against environmental stressors, where ultraviolet radiation and pollutants induce oxidative stress and accelerate premature aging. Although Sonneratia alba leaves possess considerable antioxidant potential, information regarding their application in moisturizer gel formulations remains limited. This study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of S. alba leaf extract on the antioxidant activity and physical properties of a moisturizer gel. A completely randomized design was employed using extract concentrations of 0% (control), 10%, 15%, and 20% (w/w) incorporated into a Carbopol-based gel formulation. Antioxidant activity was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, while viscosity and spreadability were evaluated as physical quality parameters. The results showed that antioxidant activity ranged from 72.41% to 73.11% inhibition, with no significant differences among extract concentrations (p > 0.05), indicating that antioxidant capacity was maintained after gel formulation. In contrast, increasing extract concentration significantly reduced viscosity (p < 0.05) and significantly affected horizontal spreadability, whereas vertical spreadability remained unchanged. These findings suggest that S. alba extract modified the rheological characteristics of the gel without compromising its antioxidant activity. The formulation containing 20% extract exhibited the highest mean antioxidant activity while maintaining acceptable physical characteristics, indicating its potential as a natural active ingredient for antioxidant moisturizer gel formulations.

The tradition of Qur’anic khataman in Muslim communities represents not only a practice of completing Qur’anic recitation but also a cultural expression through which religious values are interpreted, maintained, and transmitted. In the perspective of the Living Qur’an, the presence of the Qur’an in society can be observed through various forms of reception, including rituals, social practices, and material expressions. This study aims to analyze the tradition of yellow glutinous rice (pulut kuning) as a form of material reception of the Qur’an within the khataman tradition at Tahfidz Syahbaina House, Padang Mahondang.This research employs a qualitative approach using the Living Qur’an perspective combined with a religious materiality approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving nine informants selected through purposive sampling, including tahfidz caregivers, teachers, students, parents, religious leaders, cultural figures, and community members. Data analysis was conducted through thematic analysis involving transcription, coding, categorization, interpretation, and theoretical analysis.The findings reveal that pulut kuning functions not merely as a ceremonial food but as a material medium that represents respect for the Qur’an, strengthens the memory of Qur’anic memorization, and transmits religious values within the community. The texture, color, and arrangement of material elements construct symbolic meanings related to perseverance, blessing, purity, and collective responsibility in preserving Qur’anic knowledge. This study introduces the concept of material-mnemonic reception to explain how cultural objects participate in maintaining Qur’anic memory and sustaining religious values through everyday social practices. The research contributes to the expansion of Living Qur’an studies by demonstrating the role of food and material culture as important dimensions of Qur’anic reception.

This study examines the prophecy of Roman victory as an eschatological argument in the Tafsir Al-Mizan by Muhammad Husain Tabataba'i regarding Q.S. Al-Rum:1 - 6. The study aims to analyze the relationship between the Roman victory, the fulfillment of God's promise (wa'd Allah), al-mi'ad, and Sunnatullah in the construction of Tabataba'i's interpretation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research design. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with a descriptive-analytical pattern through the stages of text identification, categorization of arguments, reconstruction of relationships between concepts, and synthesis. The results show that the Roman victory in Tabataba'i's interpretation is understood not only as the historical realization of the Qur'anic announcement, but also as part of a theological argument that links history with eschatological matters. The realization of the Roman victory becomes a concrete experience of the fulfillment of God's announcement, while wa'd Allah provides the foundation of certainty that God does not break His promise. Meanwhile, Sunnatullah functions as a framework for understanding the change in Rome's condition from defeat to victory within God's decree and power. Thus, the prophecy of Roman victory functions as an argumentative bridge between historical reality and the certainty of the matters promised by God, including al-mi'ad. This study affirms that the eschatological function of this prophecy does not lie in regarding the Roman victory as an end-times event, but in its capacity to direct understanding toward the certainty of God's promise and the reliability of revelation.

Character education is a crucial non-academic component in shaping professional and principled human resources for air transportation. This study aims to describe and compare the achievement of seven character dimensions among cadets (Religiosity and Morality, Integrity and Discipline, Responsibility and Work Ethic, Innovation and Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Collaboration and Leadership, and Adaptability) based on the Non-Academic Assessment System (Sistem Penilaian Non Akademik/SPNA). The study employed a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach using individual scores of 159 cadets (population/census) across nine courses, extracted from the institution's official electronic assessment worksheets with institutional permission and data anonymization. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric difference tests (Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis) due to the skewed score distribution resulting from a ceiling effect, complemented by comparative parametric tests (Welch's t-test, ANOVA, Cohen's d) and Spearman correlation. The results show that the average character achievement of cadets was generally high, with Effective Communication and Collaboration and Leadership as the dimensions with the highest achievement, while Integrity and Discipline showed the greatest variation among cadets. The TPPU group (n = 52; M = 81.34), a priori grouped by study program, showed significantly lower achievement than the non-TPPU group (n = 107; M = 98.63) across all seven dimensions (p < .001; Cohen's d = 4.38, a very large effect). Semester level was significantly positively correlated with character achievement in both groups; however, the TPPU-non-TPPU gap remained substantial even at the highest available TPPU semester, indicating that course-specific factors also play a role beyond education duration alone. These findings recommend a more intensive evaluation of character-based cadet mentoring patterns in the TPPU course, particularly in the Integrity and Discipline and Responsibility and Work Ethic dimensions.

Safety Management System (SMS) training is essential for developing airport personnel’s competencies to support safe airport operations. However, conventional training often emphasizes theoretical knowledge rather than analytical skills needed to identify hazards and make appropriate safety decisions. This study examined the effectiveness of Case-Based Learning (CBL) in enhancing safety awareness and Safety Analysis Competency among airport personnel participating in SMS training. A mixed-methods approach with an embedded one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 20 participants in a four-day training program. Quantitative data were collected using a 15-item Safety Awareness Questionnaire administered before and after the training and analyzed with descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Qualitative data were obtained from case analysis worksheets and reflective responses, analyzed using analytical rubrics and thematic analysis. Results showed a slight but statistically non-significant increase in safety awareness (p = 0.129), indicating that participants already demonstrated a high level of awareness before the intervention. In contrast, participants achieved high performance in Safety Analysis Competency, including Hazard Identification (81.8%), Root Cause Analysis (95.0%), Risk Assessment (81.8%), and Risk Mitigation (90.8%). Reflective responses confirmed improvements in systematic hazard analysis, proactive safety reporting, and evidence-based decision-making. These findings indicate that CBL is particularly effective in strengthening higher-order analytical competencies and should be integrated into SMS training to improve airport personnel’s operational safety performance.

Mental health among Generation Z has become an increasing public health concern, while most previous studies have primarily focused on improving classification accuracy without explaining the factors influencing model predictions. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with mental health risk among Generation Z using an Explainable Machine Learning approach. Methods: A quantitative study was conducted using machine learning on data collected from 733 Indonesian Generation Z respondents selected through purposive sampling. Independent variables included demographic characteristics and all questionnaire items from DASS-21, STAI-T, and ACE, while the dependent variable was mental health risk status. Data preprocessing involved feature leakage removal, categorical encoding, missing value imputation, SMOTE-based class balancing, and feature standardization. Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest models were developed using hyperparameter optimization with Stratified 5-fold Cross Validation. Model interpretability was performed using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Results: Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine achieved the best performance with 93.6% accuracy, 100% recall, precision above 80%, an F1-score of 0.90, and ROC-AUC greater than 0.99. SHAP analysis identified the twenty most influential predictors, dominated by Adverse Childhood Experiences (45%), followed by DASS-21 (35%), STAI-T (15%), and demographic factors (5%). Conclusion: Logistic Regression was the most appropriate model for identifying mental health risk among Generation Z. Adverse childhood experiences were the strongest predictors, highlighting the importance of integrating early-life experiences into explainable machine learning-based mental health screening systems.

Passenger transportation between Tanglok Port and Gili Mandangin Island is currently dominated by traditional wooden boats that were not specifically designed to provide adequate passenger comfort, safety, or operational efficiency. This study aims to develop a preliminary design of a catamaran passenger vessel that meets local transportation demands, the operational characteristics of the route, and the technical requirements for high-speed craft. The research methodology consisted of field observations, interviews with local vessel operators, a comprehensive literature review, principal dimension determination using comparable vessel data and linear regression analysis, hull form development with Maxsurf Modeller, general arrangement design, and performance evaluation through speed, resistance, and propulsion power analyses. The proposed vessel is designed to accommodate 40 passengers with principal dimensions of 14.34 m length overall (LOA), 4.45 m breadth, 0.90 m draft, and 1.64 m depth, resulting in a displacement volume of 15.946 m³. The design service speed is 12 knots, satisfying the high-speed craft criteria stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 12 of 2022. Resistance analysis using the Fung method predicted a total resistance of 28.3 kN at the service speed, corresponding to an effective power requirement of 538.56 HP. Considering propulsion efficiency and an appropriate power margin, the vessel is equipped with two 300 HP Yamaha F300 outboard engines. The proposed catamaran design provides a feasible and technically sound alternative for improving passenger transportation on the Sampang–Gili Mandangin route by enhancing safety, comfort, and operational performance.

Indonesian national costumes have become prominent visual representations of cultural identity in international beauty pageants. However, existing studies tend to emphasize nationalism, aesthetics, or promotional value while giving limited attention to the representational processes through which regional cultural resources become nationally recognizable images. This study investigates how Indonesian national costumes translate the archipelago's cultural diversity into visual narratives for global pageant audiences. Using a qualitative multiple-case visual research design, the study comparatively analyzes costumes by five Indonesian designers through official photographs and videos, designer-produced documentation, institutional archives, contextual cultural sources, and Stuart Hall's theory of representation. The analysis followed six iterative stages: corpus familiarization, visual coding, contextual interpretation, representational analysis, within- and cross-case comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings identify four interconnected processes: visual translation of regional cultural heritage, negotiation between regional and national identities, cultural hybridization, and visual cultural diplomacy. Rather than reproducing tradition literally, designers reinterpret mythology, ritual traditions, architecture, maritime heritage, and indigenous philosophies through contemporary fashion practices that balance authenticity and innovation as well as cultural specificity and global readability. The study extends Hall's representation theory into fashion studies, demonstrates the analytical value of qualitative multiple-case visual research, and proposes the Indonesian National Costume Representation Framework (INCRF). The framework explains how regional cultural resources move through designer interpretation, visual translation, representational negotiation, and international circulation to form nationally recognizable visual identities.
