Purpose of the Study: This study examines the relationships among Digital Self-Learning (DSL), Institutional Support (IS), Professional Development (PD), and Technology Integration (TI) among Indonesian teachers. Specifically, the study investigates how teachers' autonomous digital learning behavior contributes to classroom-level ICT integration beyond formal institutional and training mechanisms.Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 221 Indonesian in-service teachers. The study applied Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data, examine relations among the proposed constructs, and explore the mechanisms underlying technology integration.Main Findings: Digital Self-Learning is the strongest predictor of both Professional Development and Technology Integration. Institutional Support significantly influences Digital Self-Learning but does not directly affect Technology Integration, suggesting that institutional conditions primarily contribute through enabling teachers' self-directed learning behavior. Professional Development further strengthens Technology Integration, whereas demographic variables such as age, gender, and educational level exert little influence. Although the proposed model confirmed substantial explanatory power, its out-of-sample projecting performance was limited. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted primarily from an explanatory rather than a predictive perspective.Novelty/Originality of this Study: The novelty of this study lies in its reconceptualization of ICT integration as a behaviorally driven process in which Digital Self-Learning functions as the central mechanism linking institutional conditions, professional growth, and classroom technology integration. The findings contribute to the growing discourse on teacher digital capability and offer practical insights for developing more adaptive and sustainable ICT integration strategies in educational settings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) programs are now being widely used and their impact has been proven to enhance student achievement. The aim of the study is to observe the use and impact of AI on students’ achievement in Mathematics and Statistics courses. The population in this study was all students of the Faculty of Information Technology, Universitas Advent Indonesia, taking or have taken Mathematics and Statistics courses from the lecturer (the first author of this paper), totalling 191 students. The study showed that 48% of students admitted that AI could improve their academic performance, while around 44% of students became more active and satisfied in learning mathematics and statistics. However, the students’ achievements were not permanent, as 71.3% of students admitted that their achievements were not lasting. The results indicate, based on experimental research comparing the results of quizzes (which were discussed after the tests) with mid or final exam results (derived from quizzes), that there was no improvement in test scores and even no significant impact (and correlation) between quiz results and mid or final exams. In fact, the majority (60.6%) of students were unsure, disagreed, or even strongly disagreed whether the impact of AI is more positive than negative on their learning. The results of this study suggest that AI is best used as a learning tool not merely to achieve learning outcomes, but assist deep learning to improve critical thinking.

Ecclesiastical leadership is essentially a spiritual calling that models the character of Christ, rather than merely holding administrative authority. However, contemporary pastoral reality often reveals gaps where structural and administrative aspects become more prominent than the pastoral dimension of care. This study aims to analytically investigate the phrases "humility" (tapeinophrosunē) and "not seeking self-interest" (eritheia and kenodoxia) in Philippians 2:3-4 and articulate their theological implications for church leadership principles. The method employed is a qualitative library research with a historical-grammatical hermeneutical approach. The literature analysis demonstrates that Philippians 2:3-4 was Apostle Paul’s ethical-theological response to the threat of church disintegration caused by the surrounding Roman honor-shame culture. Biblical humility is not a state of psychological passivity, but an active spiritual strength that empties self-ambition to prioritize others' needs (skopeō). This study concludes that the textual integration of Philippians 2:3-4 underscores a servant leadership framework that prioritizes church unity and pastoral care relations without overemphasizing organizational managerial boundaries.

Perkembangan yang cepat dari platform media sosial telah menyebabkan meningkatnya penggunaan media sosial pada kalangan mahasiswa. Intensitas penggunaan media sosial yang berlebihan dapat menimbulkan berbagai dampak negatif, salah satunya adalah burnout akademik. Mahasiswa keperawatan termasuk kelompok yang rentan mengalami burnout akademik karena tingginya tuntutan pembelajaran, praktik klinik, dan tekanan akademik selama masa pendidikan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi korelasi antara kecanduan terhadap media sosial dengan burnout akademik di kalangan mahasiswa Keperawatan tingkat 2 di Universitas Advent Indonesia. Metode yang diterapkan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif korelasional serta pendekatan cross-sectional. Responden penelitian ini menggunakan sampel yang diambil dengan melakukan total sampling yaitu melibatkan 87 mahasiswa.. Penelitian ini menggunakan Instrumen berupa kuesioner untuk mengukur kecanduan media sosial dan Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS). Dalam melakukan analisis data, Peneliti menggunakan uji Spearman Rank. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden berada dalam kategori kecanduan media sosial tingkat sedang, dengan 43 responden (49%) dan burnout akademik juga sedang dengan 40 responden (46,0%). Hasil uji mengindikasikan adanya korelasi signifikan antara kecanduan media sosial dan burnout akademik, dengan nilai ρ = 0,249 dan p-value = 0,020 (<0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah jika tingkat kecanduan media sosial yang dialami semakin tinggi, maka tingkat burnout akademik pada mahasiswa Keperawatan tingkat 2 di Universitas Advent Indonesia juga semakin tinggi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengendalian penggunaan media sosial dan meningkatkan manajemen stres akademik di kalangan mahasiswa.

Penyakit gagal ginjal kronis telah menjadi masalah global yang terus-menerus mengalami peningkatan baik nasional maupun global. Pasien penderita gagal ginjal kronis yang menjalani prosedur hemodialisa mengalami beban yang sangat berat, baik dalam aspek fisik, emosional, maupun sosial yang dapat memengaruhi kualitas hidup. Berdasarkan beberapa hasil penelitian, faktor sosiodemografi dapat memengaruhi kualitas hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kualitas hidup pasien yang menjalani hemodialisa berdasarkan jenis kelamin, status pernikahan dan status pekerjaan. Penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif komparatif ini dilakukan pada 63 pasien gagal ginjal di salah satu rumah sakit swasta di Bandung dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan uji statistik Mann-Whitney dan Kruskal-Wallis. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengukur kualitas hidup pasien adalah WHOQOL (BREF), yang terdiri dari 24 pertanyaan yang mengukur domain fisik, psikologis, hubungan sosial dan lingkungan. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan kualitas hidup pasien berdasarkan jenis kelamin (p-value = 0,413), status pernikahan (p-value = 0,337), dan status pekerjaan (p-value 0,681). Namun, nilai rata-rata menunjukkan bahwa kualitas hidup wanita yang menikah dan bekerja lebih tinggi pada domain fisik, psikologis, hubungan sosial dan lingkungan. Untuk itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian yang lebih lanjut untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor lain yang memengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien gagal ginjal yang menjalani hemodialisa.
