Gadget Use and Islamic Education Achievement among Elementary School Children
The rapid expansion of digital technology has intensified concerns regarding children’s gadget use and its implications for learning outcomes, particularly in religious education contexts. In elementary education, inappropriate gadget exposure is often associated with declining academic performance, while guided use may offer educational benefits. This study aims to examine the relationship between gadget use and learning achievement in Islamic Religious Education among elementary school children. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 20 elementary school students aged 6–11 years. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring gadget use, academic documentation of learning achievement, parental interviews, and structured observations. Statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson product–moment correlation with the assistance of SPSS. The results reveal a statistically significant and positive relationship between gadget use and Islamic education learning achievement, indicated by a perfect correlation coefficient (r = 1.000, p < 0.05). These findings suggest that gadget use, when regulated and supervised by parents, can support cognitive development and enhance learning outcomes in religious education. The novelty of this study lies in its community-based focus, integrating home supervision, village context, and religious learning achievement rather than school-centered analysis alone. The findings contribute to the growing literature on digital technology in education by highlighting the conditional benefits of gadget use in elementary Islamic education. Practically, the study underscores the importance of parental guidance and balanced digital engagement to optimize educational outcomes, while theoretically reinforcing the role of contextual and social factors in technology-supported learning.

Qori-khona Architecture of the 18th Century as the Naqshbandiya Museum
This study examines the architectural and cultural significance of the 18th-century Qori-khona in Kagan, currently functioning as the Naqshbandiya Museum, within the framework of Islamic educational architecture and Sufi traditions in Central Asia. The research addresses a critical gap in existing scholarship, which has predominantly focused on monumental madrasas and earlier historical periods while overlooking smaller-scale religious-educational structures and their contextual integration within the Naqshbandiya spiritual tradition. The investigation employed a qualitative methodology combining architectural analysis, field documentation, spatial surveys, and critical examination of historical and visual sources to evaluate the building's design principles, spatial organization, and adaptive reuse as a museum facility. Findings reveal that the Qori-khona exemplifies the Bukhara architectural school through its modest peshtaq, inward-oriented courtyard layout, minimalist ornamentation, and compact hujra configuration, all reflecting Naqshbandiya values of spiritual discipline, modesty, and contemplative concentration. The architectural composition demonstrates deliberate restraint in decoration and proportional harmony aligned with Sufi educational practices rather than syncretic or symbolic interpretations previously suggested in literature. The novelty of this research lies in establishing the Qori-khona as a coherent Islamic educational space rooted specifically in 18th-century Sufi architectural conventions, challenging generalized or chronologically imprecise characterizations. These findings contribute theoretical understanding of later-period Sufi architecture in Central Asia and provide practical implications for heritage conservation, demonstrating how adaptive reuse can maintain architectural integrity while extending the educational mission of religious monuments through contemporary museological frameworks. Keywords: Qori-khona architecture; Naqshbandiya Sufism; Bukhara architectural school; Islamic educational buildings; Central Asian heritage preservation; 18th-century religious monuments Highlight : div]:bg-bg-000/50 [&_pre>div]:border-0.5 [&_pre>div]:border-border-400 [&_.ignore-pre-bg>div]:bg-transparent [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8"> _*]:min-w-0 standard-markdown"> The Qori-khona demonstrates coherent 18th-century Islamic educational architecture aligned with Naqshbandiya Sufi principles. Architectural features reflect intentional design emphasizing modesty, discipline, and inward spiritual focus through spatial organization. Museum adaptation successfully maintains architectural integrity while continuing the building's original educational purpose effectively.

Results: Qualitative data (interviews, observation, documents) show effective communication and commitment (disposition), concrete infrastructure investments (~Rp 262,000,000 in 2024), but limitations in sustained training and full operationalization of LP2B (land protection) regulations. Novelty: Provides empirically grounded account of a village-level LP2B response combining engineering and institutional measures. Implications: Policy should pair infrastructure investments with capacity-building, clearer LP2B regulation, and institutional support to convert investment into reliable increased yields.

Youth-Led Catfish Farming for Village Empowerment
General background: Rural communities face uneven development and limited livelihood opportunities, increasing the need for local empowerment initiatives. Specific background: In Banjarkemantren Village, Karang Taruna (youth organization) initiated catfish (lele) cultivation using biofloc systems to strengthen food security and incomes. Knowledge gap: Despite activities and infrastructure, harvests have not consistently reached targets and barriers in marketing, technical skill, and facilitation remain. Aims: This study describes and analyzes Karang Taruna’s role (motivator, facilitator, mobilizer) in empowering the community through catfish farming. Results: Qualitative findings (observations, interviews, documentation) indicate strong motivator activity, ongoing innovations as mobilizer, but limited facilitation in marketing networks and technical dissemination—yielding increasing but subtarget harvests across three cycles. Novelty: The paper documents a youth-driven, biofloc-based empowerment model in a village context and empirically maps its three-role performance to observed production gaps. Implications: Strengthening technical capacity, formal market linkages, and active facilitation by Karang Taruna can improve yields and scale local livelihood outcomes.

Optimizing Early Childhood Growth and Development through Health Screening, Dental Examination, and Interest-Talent Counseling: KKN-T UMSIDA Community Service Work Program in Pangkemiri Village
The 2025 KKN-T Program Group 4 Pangkemiri Village carries the theme "Optimizing Early Childhood Growth and Development" through health screening activities, dental examinations, and psychological counseling related to the recognition of children's interests and talents. This activity was carried out at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 3 Pangkemiri Kindergarten and Baiturrohim Mosque by involving medical personnel, psychologists, teachers, and parents. The results of the activity showed that around 15% of children had nutritional problems and 40% of children had dental problems, so follow-up in the form of referrals and education was needed. In addition, psychology counseling helps parents and teachers understand the importance of recognizing children's potential from an early age. The evaluation of the activity showed an increase in the awareness of parents (85%) and children (70%) towards physical and psychological health. Overall, this program has succeeded in providing real benefits and emphasizing the importance of cross-sector collaboration in supporting children's growth and development holistically. Highlights: 15% of children had nutritional issues, 40% had dental problems → follow-up needed. Counseling improved parents’ and teachers’ understanding of children’s potential. Awareness increased: parents (85%) and children (70%) on health and development. Keywords: Child growth and development, health screening, dental examination, interests and talents, KKN-T, Pangkemiri Village.

Education for Pregnant Women with Malocclusion in Their First, Second, and Third Trimesters Regarding the Risk of Gingivitis and Periodontitis
Background: During pregnancy, physiological hormonal changes increase inflammatory responses, particularly in gingival tissue, making gingivitis and periodontitis more likely to occur, which can lead to pregnancy complications such as premature birth and low birth weight. This risk is even higher in pregnant women with malocclusion, especially during the first, second, and third trimesters. Therefore, appropriate and continuous education is crucial for pregnant women with malocclusion to enhance awareness of oral hygiene and health, as well as early detection during pregnancy. Objective: To implement preventive educational efforts targeting the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis among pregnant women with malocclusion who visit the Sedati Sidoarjo Health Centre, regardless of whether they are undergoing orthodontic treatment or not. Method: Interactive education and question-and-answer sessions based on extraoral and intraoral photographs and oral cavity examinations were conducted on 51 pregnant women who came for check-ups at the KIA clinic. All of the pregnant women had malocclusion, and 10 of them wore braces. The examination was conducted to assess the condition of the gums, teeth, and periodontal tissues. Results: The pregnant women enthusiastically participated in the activity, becoming familiar with the terms gingivitis, periodontitis, and malocclusion, and understanding the importance of maintaining oral hygiene, especially during pregnancy. The examination results showed that dental plaque (86.27%) and red gums (54.9%) were most prevalent among women aged 20–35 years and in the second and third trimesters. Conclusion: Interactive education combined with extraoral and intraoral examinations is highly effective in improving oral health during pregnancy and serves as an early detection method for gingivitis, periodontitis, and malocclusion. Most pregnant women with malocclusion in their reproductive years experienced gingivitis, and some also had periodontitis. Highlights: Hormonal changes increase gingivitis and periodontitis risk during pregnancy. Malocclusion worsens oral health issues, especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Interactive education and examinations improve awareness and early detection. Keywords: reproductive age of pregnant women, trimester of pregnancy, gingivitis, periodontitis in pregnant women, malocclusion in pregnant women
