<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the Indonesian government's strategy in countering radicalism and terrorism by highlighting inter-agency coordination, the effectiveness of counter-radicalization and deradicalization programs, and the influence of social, cultural, and economic factors on policy implementation. Qualitative methods were used through analysis of policy documents, focus group discussions (FGDs), and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders. The results indicate that although the government has designed comprehensive policies, coordination across institutions such as the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT), the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and related ministries still faces structural and communication barriers, resulting in incomplete integration of policies. Social factors such as intolerance, stigma against former perpetrators, and economic inequality also hinder the success of deradicalization programs. This study also emphasizes the crucial role of civil society, religious leaders, and the private sector in strengthening government strategies through economic empowerment, national education, and digital literacy. To increase the effectiveness of counter-radicalization efforts, it is recommended to strengthen multidisciplinary research, develop anti-radicalization education curricula, implement integrated training for officials, and utilize digital technology for early detection and counter-radicalization campaigns. A collaborative and community-based approach is key to the success of a sustainable and adaptive strategy that adapts to Indonesia's social dynamics.]]>

<![CDATA[Self-care is an activity carried out by a person to maintain their health independently. It aims to maintain health and encourage the development and prevention of disease. This study aims to determine the description of elderly knowledge about self-care at the Kayon Community Health Center in Palangka Raya City. This study uses a descriptive research type with an elderly population in the Kayon Community Health Center work area and the research sample uses a purposive sampling technique with a sample size of 55 elderly. The study shows that respondents based on age are mostly aged 60-69 years with a total of 54 respondents (98.18%), based on gender, they are dominated by men with a total of 30 respondents (54.55%), based on marital status, the majority are married with a total of 49 respondents (89.09%) and education is mostly in the tertiary category with a total of 31 respondents (56.36%). Based on knowledge, the majority of respondents had good knowledge of self-care (30 respondents (54.55%), respondents had sufficient knowledge (22 respondents (40%), and respondents had insufficient knowledge (3 respondents (5.55%). Overall, the elderly in this study had a good level of knowledge regarding self-care, which reflects an adequate understanding of how to maintain health in old age. However, efforts are still needed to improve health education for elderly with sufficient and insufficient levels of knowledge to achieve an optimal quality of life.]]>

<![CDATA[Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) play a crucial role in maintaining water quality in water infrastructure such as reservoirs and retention ponds, especially in urban areas experiencing high environmental pressures. This study evaluates the completeness of WWTP design documents, the technical suitability of planning, and the environmental risks of three water infrastructure projects in Jakarta: Aseni Reservoir, Bambu Hitam Reservoir, and Batu Bangkong Reservoir. The methods include technical document auditing (DED, RKS, technical specifications, BOQ), field inspections, and analysis of national regulations (Ministerial Regulation LHK No. 68/2016, PUPR No. 4/2017, and national standards). Results show significant nonconformities, including the absence of detailed WWTP process units, incomplete mechanical–electrical specifications, lack of commissioning procedures, and weak integration of WWTP components in contractual documents. Field observations also reveal potential increases in pollution loads due to suboptimal inlet–outlet conditions and the absence of a pre-integrated WWTP system. This study emphasizes the importance of revising planning documents, standardizing WWTP design, and applying proper commissioning and environmental monitoring procedures.]]>

<![CDATA[This study evaluated the effectiveness of behavior modification techniques to enhance assertiveness in a person with intellectual disability identified as having low assertive behavior. Using a single-subject experimental design A–B–A with quantitative descriptive methods, the intervention targeted measurable deficits identified during baseline assessment. The participant, classified as imbecile and receiving services at Sentra Terpadu Kartini Temanggung, was selected through recommendations from social workers and dormitory supervisors. Two primary techniques modelling and advice giving with instruction were implemented across the intervention phase. Assertive behavior was measured via participatory observation using a Likert scale, focusing on specific skills such as refusal of unwanted physical contact. The intervention emphasized positive support to enable the participant to express feelings and set personal boundaries assertively. Results demonstrated a marked improvement in assertive responses, notably refusal of physical touch, yielding a post-intervention score of 340. Observations indicated the participant could effectively refuse attempts by opposite-sex individuals to touch sensitive body areas. These outcomes suggest that targeted behaviour modification procedures can produce clinically meaningful gains in basic assertiveness among persons with intellectual disabilities. The study contributes empirical evidence for the application of modelling and directive advice in social rehabilitation settings. Implications include the potential adoption of these techniques by practitioners to inform individualized intervention planning and to strengthen foundational assertiveness skills based on assessment-driven priorities.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the integration of Islamic socio-cultural values within nature-based environmental education by comparing three educational models: Sekolah Alam and eco-pesantren in Indonesia, and Forest Schools in Europe. The growing global ecological crisis highlights the need for educational approaches that promote not only cognitive development but also value internalization, character formation, and ecological consciousness. Using a qualitative design with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by PRISMA 2020, this study reviewed literature from Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, Google Scholar, GARUDA, and ResearchGate published between 2019 and 2025. Of the 1,546 initial records, 30 studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesized thematically. The findings show that: (1) Sekolah Alam cultivates ecological character through experiential learning grounded in Islamic values and local wisdom; (2) Eco-pesantren integrate Islamic ecological theology, khalifah (stewardship), amanah (trust), ihsan (excellence), and ecological monotheism, into conservation practices, organic farming, and waste management; (3) Forest Schools emphasize exploration, learner agency, and wellbeing without religious foundations; and (4) all three models foster emotional and ethical connections to nature while differing in value orientations. The proposed Islamic Socio-Cultural and Nature-Based Environmental Education Model offers a framework for developing faith-based and sustainability-oriented Islamic education curricula.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to find out what steps must be taken to produce elections with quality and integrity in 2024. The research method used is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive analysis approach. Data was obtained through primary and secondary data and analyzed in depth. Based on the data obtained through literacy studies and interviews, in producing quality and integrity elections, it is not only the organizers who internalize ethics and morals, but three important elements in it, namely: the community as voters with integrity, election organizers with integrity, and election participants who integrity. Through the ethical and moral internalization of these three elements, the hope that all parties desire is the presence of a quality leader by creating a healthy, democratic political environment through the 2024 election results.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines disaster management policies through the lens of public administration by synthesizing insights from the existing scholarly literature. Using a structured literature review approach, the article systematically analyzes peer-reviewed studies on disaster management policies published in international journals. The review focuses on how administrative capacity, institutional arrangements, and governance mechanisms shape the effectiveness of disaster management policies. The findings indicate that policy outcomes are strongly influenced by coordination across government levels, inter-organizational collaboration, and the clarity of administrative roles and responsibilities. The literature also reveals persistent challenges related to fragmented governance structures, limited bureaucratic capacity, and weak accountability mechanisms. From a public administration perspective, disaster management policies are not merely technical instruments but reflections of broader administrative and political systems. The synthesis highlights that adaptive governance and institutional learning are critical for improving policy resilience in disaster contexts. The review identifies gaps in the integration of public administration theories within disaster management research. This study contributes to the literature by offering a comprehensive administrative framework for evaluating disaster management policies. The findings provide theoretical and practical implications for scholars and policymakers seeking to strengthen disaster governance through improved public administration practices.]]>

<![CDATA[Children in conflict with the law require a justice approach that prioritizes protection, rehabilitation, and social reintegration rather than punishment. In Indonesia, restorative justice has been formally mandated through Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, emphasizing the involvement of families and community institutions in resolving juvenile cases. This study aims to examine the collaboration between families and Bapas Class II Garut in strengthening restorative justice for children in conflict with the law. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted at Bapas Class II Garut, West Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Community Counselors and family members, non-participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns related to forms of collaboration, supporting and inhibiting factors, and the impact of collaboration on children’s psychosocial recovery and social reintegration. The findings indicate that family–Bapas collaboration occurs across multiple stages, including social inquiry, diversion and restorative mediation, supervision, and post-resolution guidance. Effective collaboration is supported by the commitment of Community Counselors and strong family-oriented cultural values, while social stigma, limited legal awareness, economic constraints, and institutional limitations hinder sustained engagement. Importantly, collaboration contributes positively to children’s psychosocial recovery and social reintegration. This study concludes that institutionalizing family participation is essential to strengthening restorative justice and ensuring its transformative impact within Indonesia’s juvenile justice system.]]>

<![CDATA[Press freedom, as a pillar of democracy, continues to face serious threats through practices of intimidation against journalists, both physical and digital. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to examine academic literature and reports from international institutions for the period 2021–2025 regarding the forms of threats, impacts, and strategies for protecting journalists. The study results show that intimidation occurs in the form of physical threats, symbolic terror, and digital attacks such as doxing, sexual harassment, online mobs, and hacking. These threats result in psychological trauma, self-censorship, and a decline in the quality of investigative reporting, thus eroding press freedom and, consequently, democracy. Collective coping strategies in newsrooms have proven helpful, while technological innovations based on automated detection offer preventative measures, although they still require transparency and strong regulations. In the Indonesian context, journalists face a combination of physical, digital, and symbolic threats, highlighting the high vulnerability of independent media. Thus, multidimensional protection through strong legal regulations, collective solidarity, and technological support is needed to enable the press to fulfill its function as a pillar of democracy.]]>
