MSMEs Traditional culinary MSMEs play a vital role in the Indonesian economy through job creation, income equality, and preservation of local culture. However, limited capital, raw materials, and labor, as well as unsystematic production planning, mean that MSME production decisions are still intuitive, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal profits. A case study of MSME Sostang Tijang Bruno, a Sundanese cireng producer, shows that cireng production is still based on experience without clear calculations, resulting in a mismatch between production and demand and waste of raw materials. This study aims to optimize cireng production volume using the Graphical Linier Programming method to maximize profits by considering constraints on raw materials, working time, and market capacity. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The decision variables were the production volume of original chicken-filled cireng and spicy chicken-filled cireng. The analysis results showed an optimal production combination of 2.93 kg of original chicken-filled cireng and 0.53 kg of spicy chicken-filled cireng with a maximum profit of Rp499,000 per day. This method is expected to help MSMEs make more efficient and rational production decisions

This study examines students’ understanding and application of Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah in their daily muamalah practices and its implications for their ethical behavior. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved twenty students who provided data through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations. The findings indicate that most students possess a solid understanding of the function of legal maxims as general principles guiding Islamic legal reasoning and as analytical tools for addressing contemporary issues. They are able to apply Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah in various modern activities, such as digital transactions, social interactions, and financial management, which helps them act with greater caution, fairness, and responsibility. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including difficulties in understanding Arabic terminology, limited contextual examples, and environments that do not always support consistent application. This study concludes that strengthening practical understanding and contextual learning is essential for Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah to function effectively as a moral and Sharia-based guide for students navigating the complexities of modern life.

This study investigates the effect of role stress and job resources on emotional exhaustion, with work-family conflict as a mediating variable among higher education personnel. Employing a quantitative research design with a causality analysis approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. The sample consisted of 200 educational staff at XYZ institution in Bogor Regency, including civil servants, permanent employees, and contract workers. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) technique with SmartPLS 3 software. The findings revealed that role stress has a positive and significant impact on emotional exhaustion, indicating that increased stress from role demands contributes to higher levels of emotional fatigue. Conversely, job resources were found to have no significant direct effect on emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, work-family conflict significantly mediated the relationship between role stress and emotional exhaustion, suggesting that stress from conflicting work and family demands intensifies emotional exhaustion. However, work-family conflict did not mediate the relationship between job resources and emotional exhaustion. These results emphasize the critical need for effective stress management strategies and support systems that can help reduce work-family conflict to maintain the emotional well-being of education personnel.
