Risk perception is a key predictor of the preceptors' intention to evaluate risk, treat and reduce risks, and adopt protective behavior. Using the photovoice method, this study examines risk perception among junior and senior high school students in three schools regarding their experiences with disasters. The thematic analysis found that children experience affective responses such as trauma, fear when alone, and feeling secure when their parents are around during a disaster. Schools and disaster advocates need to understand children's risk perception to enhance existing disaster education and preparedness strategies.

This article analyzes the long-term relationship between Islam and media in Indonesia through the lens of mediatization. While most research on the mediatization of religion is grounded in Western secular contexts, this study examines how the process unfolds in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, whose religious life and cultural dynamics differ significantly from the Arab world. Using a historical approach, this study traces the evolution of Islamic media from the early twentieth century to the digital era, encompassing prints, broadcast programming, and social media platforms. The findings show that the interaction between Islam and media in Indonesia is a gradual, negotiated transformation shaped by political shifts, technological change, and evolving religious authority. Instead of producing secularization, successive media formats have enabled the continual rearticulation and popularization of Islamic values. New actors such as televangelists and digital preachers have emerged, challenging traditional authorities and prompting adaptations in religious practice to fit media formats and audience expectations. Although commercialization and algorithms sometimes result in a banalized expressions of religion, media developments also create new participatory spaces for religious engagement and personal piety. The study offers a non-Western model of mediatization grounded in Indonesia’s unique media and religious landscape.

The important role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is well recognized, yet many struggle to sustain their operations. This study aims to identify factors influencing SMEs’ performance by combining the resource-based view (RBV), resilience theory, and dynamic capability. A quantitative study involving 251 SMEs in Indonesia was conducted. Smart-PLS was used to analyze the measurement model of constructs and the structural model. This study revealed that digital capability, innovation capability, and organizational resilience strongly influence SMEs’ performance in Indonesia. Meanwhile, transformational leadership strongly and positively influences digital and innovation capabilities, as well as organizational resilience. This study also supports the positive influence of digital and innovation capabilities on organizational resilience. Furthermore, it reveals that digital capability has a positive association with innovation capability. However, this study fails to confirm a significant relationship between transformational leadership and firm performance. This study brings theoretical significance through the integration of RBV, particularly dynamic capability and resilience theory, providing insights into the complex factors affecting SMEs’ performance. It expands the existing literature by clarifying the interrelationships among digital capability, innovation capability, organizational resilience, and transformational leadership. From a practical standpoint, the study offers valuable guidance for SMEs, policymakers, and practitioners. Policymakers can develop targeted strategies to assist SMEs in cultivating digital and innovation capabilities, while practitioners can capitalize on the positive impact of transformational leadership in bolstering digital capability, innovation capability, and organizational resilience.

While Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are foundational to digital transformation, their success is often challenged by implementation complexity, particularly in multi-business environments. This study evaluates an internally developed ERP Accounts Payable (AP) module using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitatively, the DeLone and McLean Model was applied via PLS-SEM to analyze users across varying implementation stages. Qualitatively, operational pain points were diagnosed using the PIECES framework to develop targeted UI/UX design recommendations. The structural model demonstrates substantial explanatory power, with User Satisfaction explaining 72.2% of the variance in Net Benefits (R2 = 0.722). A pivotal finding is the emergence of a "Maturity Shift": early-phase users are hindered by Efficiency bottlenecks and manual entry friction, whereas mature users prioritize Service Quality and flexible authorization workflows. Across all stages, Information Quality remains the primary systemic barrier. To address these gaps, this research proposes design-based improvements, including a Dynamic AP Dashboard and a Smart Bill Entry interface. This study provides contextual strategic insights for optimizing financial management modules in comparable multi-industry corporate structures.

Animation as an art medium comprises many important elements, including the environment. The environment is used to visualize the condition, background, time, location, culture, mood, and atmosphere of certain aspects of animation. Environment design is crucial in creating ‘realistic’ animation; realistic in terms that it is believable through the viewer’s perspective. This article aims to explain the design process of environmental aspects in the “Lost Steps” short animation. “Lost Steps” tells the story of Rahel, a grieving young woman, who lost her steps in the painting world because of her grandmother’s death. This movie focuses on how Rahel goes through her grief to release the emotional baggage that’s eating into her life. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the importance of good interior environment design in order to convey emotions through visuals. In order to explain all of these, the writer decided to use an embodied visual metaphor. This paper uses qualitative analysis techniques in its writing to discuss the environmental aspects of the movie. The result achieved through this paper is that visual metaphor is used in terms of creating layers of meaning, while mise-en-scène is applied through the use of property set, asset design, color, and lighting to visualize these layers of meaning.
