Abstract

The increasing development of modern ballistic threats has encouraged the advancement of lightweight and high-performance body armor materials capable of providing effective protection without reducing user mobility. Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial derived from graphite, has attracted significant attention in defense applications because of its exceptional mechanical properties. This study aims to review graphite-derived graphene-based composites for ballistic body armor applications through relevant national and international journals. The reviewed studies were analyzed based on material characteristics, ballistic energy absorption mechanisms, hybrid composite systems, fabrication methods, and development challenges. The results indicate that graphene improves ballistic resistance through stress-wave propagation, crack deflection, and enhanced energy dissipation mechanisms. In addition, graphene-based hybrid composites demonstrate improved ballistic limit velocity and reduced backface deformation compared to conventional ballistic materials. However, challenges such as high production cost, agglomeration, brittleness, and scalability limitations still hinder large-scale implementation. Overall, graphite-derived graphene shows strong potential for future lightweight ballistic body armor applications.

Abstract

Caring is widely recognized as the essence of nursing practice and remains central to holistic patient care. Contemporary nursing literature increasingly emphasizes compassion, empathy, and spiritual care as essential dimensions of professional nursing. Within Christian nursing education, biblical narratives may provide foundational insights into caring behaviors and holistic healing. This study explores the Good Samaritan narrative in Luke 10:25–37 as a model of caring relevant to nursing practice. Using qualitative biblical exegesis and thematic content analysis, the study identifies key caring themes embedded within the narrative and relates them to Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. The findings reveal seven major caring themes: compassion, presence, caring action, holistic care, sacrifice, advocacy, and human dignity. These themes demonstrate strong parallels with contemporary nursing caring theory and support the integration of biblical perspectives into holistic nursing education and practice. Also, implementing this model requires nurses’ reflective awareness to bridge the gap between administrative demands and patients’ emotional needs. The study contributes to faith integration scholarship by providing a theological and theoretical framework for understanding caring within Christian nursing. Future research may explore other biblical healing narratives and their relevance to nursing, leadership, ethics, and spiritual care.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Financial Literacy, Lifestyle, and Digital Payment Use on the Financial Behavior of the community in Kuningan Regency, both partially and simultaneously. The research method used is quantitative with an associative design. The population of this study is the people of Kuningan Regency who use digital payment services (such as e-wallets, mobile banking, or QRIS). The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total of 150 respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire based on a Likert scale of 1-5 and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the help of SmartPLS software. The results of the outer model test showed that all indicators had loading factor values ​​above 0.7 (ranging from 0.808 to 0.914), which means all instruments were declared valid and reliable. Partially, Financial Literacy has a positive effect on financial behavior, indicating that a good understanding of risk management and financial priorities will result in more rational financial decisions. Lifestyle and digital payment usage have also been shown to significantly influence people's financial behavior patterns. Simultaneously, these three independent variables significantly influenced financial behavior. This finding underscores the importance of strengthening financial literacy in the digital age to balance the ease of digital transactions with a consumerist lifestyle, leading to healthier and more stable financial management.
Mapping the E-Government Portrait of Malang City: A Cross-Platform Meta-Synthesis of Sixty Public Administration Undergraduate Theses, 2024–2025 Bayu Indra Pratama; Muhammad Rizki Pratama

Abstract

This study proposes a qualitative meta-synthesis framework applied to sixty undergraduate theses from Universitas Brawijaya graduating in 2024–2025 that examine e-government practice in Malang City. Drawing on Noblit and Hare’s meta-ethnography, eMERGe reporting, and PRISMA 2020 corpus selection, the work maps the corpus across at least twenty-three municipal digital platforms, reads each thematic cluster substantively, and weaves seven preliminary line-of-argument patterns. Citizen-interface depth predicts platform success more strongly than architectural completeness; nationally mandated platforms yield thinner local public value than locally originated ones; and a co-production gap pervades the corpus except in the disability-inclusion cluster. The framework offers theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions.
