The school of jurisprudence has a crucial role in the formation of Islamic law, both in the classical and modern eras. In the classical period, schools of thought such as Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'i, and Hanbali became the main basis for formulating Islamic law through a structured ijtihad methodology. Each school of thought developed its own way of interpreting the Qur'an, Hadith, ijma', and qiyas, which then contributed to the diversity of Islamic law. In the modern era, the role of schools of jurisprudence remains relevant in responding to contemporary legal challenges, especially in economic, social, and technological issues. Islamic law reform in various Muslim countries often refers to the principles of these schools by adapting them to the national legal system. Therefore, the study of schools of jurisprudence not only contributes to the historical development of Islamic law but also serves as a foundation for formulating legal solutions that are adaptive to the dynamics of the times.  

The transformation of settlement patterns in Ciwandan District, Cilegon City, is a consequence of massive industrial expansion over the past two decades. This change has resulted in the conversion of coastal agricultural land into high-density urban-industrial areas with heterogeneous settlement characteristics. This study aims to describe population dynamics, spatial structure changes, and their impact on the quality of life of the community. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with a literature review method. The findings indicate that the increase in population, particularly the working-age population, is accompanied by the growth of informal housing and pressure on basic infrastructure such as sanitation, clean water, and green open spaces. The imbalance between industrial growth and the provision of public services has created various social and ecological challenges. Therefore, there is a need for the integration of spatial planning policies, adaptive infrastructure development, and partnerships between the government, the community, and the industrial sector to create livable and sustainable residential areas.

The selection of learning media and resources is an important aspect of the learning process. Learning media helps to convey material in a more engaging and effective way, while learning resources include a variety of references that support learning activities, such as human, print, visual, and audio-visual materials. The selection of media must be adjusted to the learning objectives, student characteristics, and availability of facilities. Learning resources, on the other hand, must meet the criteria of economy, practical, easy to obtain, flexible, and can motivate and support the learning process. By choosing the right learning media and resources, learning becomes more effective, engaging, and relevant for students. The method used by the researcher is qualitative research. And the data obtained were analyzed using the literature study method.

This literature study examines the construction of cultural identity through socio-economic practices in plantation ecosystems among the Acehnese, Malay, and Chinese communities in Indonesia. Using a systematic literature review of 42 selected sources (1990-2023), the research reveals that plantations function as sites of identity negotiation—dynamic arenas of cultural adaptation and resistance. In Aceh, the integration of Islamic values (zakat [alms] from plantations, meunasah education) and local wisdom (peusijuek rituals) mediates post-conflict reconciliation and identity transformation from "combatants" to "farmers" (Muchlis et al., 2023; Aulia et al., 2024). For the Malay community, the customary-territorial concept of bela kampung (communal defense) underpins resistance to authority fragmentation through gotong royong (mutual cooperation) and communal land allocation (Yunanda et al., 2024; Nasution et al., 2024). Meanwhile, the Chinese community develops invisibility strategies (e.g., land acquisition via family foundations, citizenship aliases) to convert legal marginalization into clan-based social capital (Irawan, 2016; Thung, 2018). Key findings highlight divergent identity sources: religiosity (Aceh), customary-territoriality (Malay), and clan social capital (Chinese). The study recommends integrating local wisdom into inclusive plantation policies and employing ethnographic approaches to examine identity intersectionality complexity.

This study aims to improve the quality of learning at SD Negeri 060915, Medan Sunggal District, through the implementation of a participatory learning approach using Participatory Action Research (PAR). The background of the study is based on the low level of student engagement in classroom activities and the teacher’s reliance on traditional lecture methods, which hinder active student participation. This classroom action research was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and formative assessments. The results showed that the participatory learning approach had a positive impact on increasing student engagement, collaboration in group work, and academic performance, as indicated by an increase in the average student score from 66.4 in the first cycle to 77.2 in the second cycle. Teachers also improved their role as facilitators, and the classroom environment became more interactive and student-centered. The study concludes that the participatory approach is effective in creating an active, collaborative, and meaningful learning environment in elementary education.

This research examines the challenges of professionalism of Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) through literature review. BK services have an important role in supporting students' academic and psychosocial development, but face obstacles such as the limited number of professional BK teachers and educational backgrounds that are not in accordance with the BK field. The non-ideal ratio of teachers to students and high workload also hamper the effectiveness of services. In addition, the management of services that are not yet based on student needs and the lack of continuous training are significant challenges. This study used a literature review method with descriptive analysis to identify these factors. The results suggest improving the quality of human resources through professional training, strengthening service management, and policy support from madrasahs and the government. The professionalism of counseling teachers has a direct impact on the quality of services that affect students' academic achievement and psychosocial well-being. The main recommendation is to increase the recruitment of qualified counseling teachers and continuous competency development to support effective and relevant counseling services in MAN.

Investment plays a strategic role in driving economic growth and job creation. However, the dynamics of investment law regulation in Indonesia still face various challenges that impact business certainty for investors. This study aims to: (1) analyze the dynamics of investment law regulations in Indonesia over time until the enactment of the Job Creation Law; (2) identify the forms of investment law regulations and the challenges of their implementation; and (3) formulate legal solutions to improve business certainty for investors. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach. Data was obtained from relevant regulations, scientific journals, and academic literature, then analyzed using descriptive-qualitative methods. The results of the study show that although regulations such as Law No. 25 of 2007 and the Job Creation Law have strengthened the legal framework for investment, their implementation is still hampered by bureaucracy, inconsistencies between central and regional policies, and weak oversight in digital investment. The conclusion of this study is that regulatory harmonization, strengthening arbitration institutions, and improving legal literacy are important steps to enhance legal certainty and investment attractiveness in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the impact of personality types—introvert, extrovert, and ambivert—on the social interaction abilities of KPI-D students within the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication. Social interaction is a crucial aspect of campus life, yet personality differences often create challenges in communication and social adaptation. Using interview methods with six respondents representing different personality types, the research found that introverted students tend to face difficulties in engaging in social activities, while extroverted students easily socialize but may lose academic focus. Ambivert students demonstrate flexibility, yet sometimes struggle with indecision in social situations. The study highlights the importance of developing social skills tailored to each personality type and fostering an inclusive, tolerant campus environment. These findings are expected to contribute to strategies for improving communication and social development among students.

Corruption in Indonesia is a serious and systemic issue. One of the legal approaches used to address this problem is the imposition of criminal fines. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fines imposed on corruption offenders. The research employs a normative approach with a juridical-qualitative method, based on literature studies of relevant laws and court decisions. The findings indicate that although criminal fines are regulated under Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001, their implementation has not been effective. Fines can still be replaced with substitute imprisonment of up to eight months under the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP), which is often preferred by convicted individuals. In addition, there is no clear system regarding the proportional amount of fines, deadlines for payment, or enforcement mechanisms. The lack of strict regulations concerning remission also weakens the deterrent effect. This study concludes that the regulation and enforcement of criminal fines in corruption cases have not yet provided optimal deterrence and still leave many legal loopholes that need to be addressed.

This study aims to analyze the urgency of revising Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages, which was amended through Law Number 3 of 2024, and its impact on village governance in Indonesia. The research focuses on comparing legal substance before and after the revision, identifying implementation problems, and reinforcing decentralization theory as a foundation for participatory and sustainable village governance. The findings reveal that the Village Law revision is a crucial step in addressing previous weaknesses, particularly in oversight, accountability in the use of village funds, gender inclusion, and the integration of technology in governance. However, several issues remain post-revision, such as limited understanding among village officials, unclear technical regulations, and insufficient community participation. This study recommends the need for extensive training for village officials, comprehensive derivative regulations, and stronger public involvement in oversight. These findings support previous literature that emphasizes the importance of structural readiness and institutional support in decentralization implementation. This research is expected to contribute academically to village policy evaluation and promote public policy reform grounded in local wisdom and participatory principles.  

The use of materials in health research requires a binding instrument to regulate the distribution of benefits. Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is an essential material transfer agreement, allowing the management of the transfer through negotiation until a mutually beneficial agreement is reached. In addition, MTA functions as a contract that protects the rights of the parties involved and ensures compliance with regulations, based on the theory of legal protection and authority. This study uses a normative legal method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The collection of legal materials is carried out through the identification of positive legal rules, as well as examining primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. The data is then analyzed from the identification of legal facts to drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that MTA regulations in Indonesia are comprehensively regulated by various levels, including Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health (Article 340 paragraph 3), Law Number 11 of 2019 (Article 76 letter h and Article 77 paragraph 1), Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024 (Articles 972, 1025–1031), and Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 85 of 2020 (Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15, and 16 paragraph 1). These national legal frameworks complement each other to ensure procedural certainty, biosafety, benefit sharing, protection of intellectual property rights, and sanctions for violators in the transfer of health materials. Although its implementation faces preventive and repressive challenges, MTA has proven essential in bridging national and commercial interests, increasing the capacity of science and technology, and protecting the sovereignty of Indonesia's genetic resources.

This study explores the role and relevance of Islamic political economy within the context of Indonesia's economic system, particularly in addressing wealth distribution inequality and the fulfillment of basic societal needs. The study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods to examine the relationship between Islamic economic principles such as justice, balance, and social responsibility and national economic policies. The findings reveal a philosophical alignment between Islamic economic values and Indonesia’s foundational principles, especially Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. However, the implementation of these principles remains limited, often confined to microeconomic aspects like Islamic financial institutions. Islamic political parties play a significant role in advocating for sharia-compliant economic policies but face challenges in reconciling Islamic values with a pluralistic democratic system. The study highlights the need for broader public education, strong political commitment, and digital innovation to fully realize the potential of Islamic economics in building a just, inclusive, and sustainable national economy.

Modernization, a global phenomenon, significantly impacts religious life, challenging religions to maintain their relevance amidst rapid social changes. This study aims to examine how religion, particularly Islam, can transform without losing its traditional essence, and to map the dynamics between tradition and modernity in religious practice. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and library research methods, data were collected through literature review and analyzed thematically.The findings reveal a tension between tradition, perceived as a sacred heritage, and modernity, often suspected of introducing secular values. However, modernization also offers opportunities for religion to adapt through innovative outreach and reinterpretation of teachings. It is found that reinterpretation of religious teachings is crucial for contextual relevance, refreshing the understanding of universal values without altering the core doctrines. Furthermore, religion is not merely an object of modernization but also a vital actor in driving just social transformation, serving as a corrective force and an agent for civilizational development.In conclusion, religious modernization is an interactive process demanding responses from religious communities. The reinterpretation of doctrines is key to religion's ongoing relevance, and the synergy between tradition and transformation allows religion to remain pertinent and a moral guide in the globalized era.

These adaptive efforts demonstrate a responsive and future-oriented local governance model supported by competent actors and agile processes. The case of Ponggok Village illustrates how dynamic capabilities can transform regulatory changes into opportunities for sustainable development.

This study analyzes how actors and structures play roles in addressing environmental issues caused by waste transportation truck activities in Dukuh Promasan, Salatiga. The findings reveal that the local community is actively involved in collective efforts, such as cleaning the roads and reporting issues related to waste management. Although the community generally tends to be passive towards government policies, this research found that residents of Dukuh Promasan actively participate in mitigating the negative impacts of waste transportation, including problems related to noise, odor, scattered waste, and leachate. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method to examine the interactions among various actors, such as the Environmental Agency (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup), the Ngronggo landfill management, truck drivers, and the Dukuh Promasan community. It explores the social dynamics resulting from these interactions, particularly how community initiatives can influence waste management policies and practices. Moreover, the study identifies the challenges faced by the Environmental Agency in managing waste, such as limited funding and facilities, which negatively affect the efficiency of waste collection and processing. These findings highlight the necessity of policies that promote active community participation in waste management. This research is expected to provide insights into the relationship between community behavior and the waste management system, and to recommend a collaborative approach to enhance environmental sustainability in Dukuh Promasan.

The transformation of Ponggok Village from an underdeveloped village to an independent village with a PADes (Village Revenue Fund) of Rp16 billion demonstrates the successful synergy between the Village Government and the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in managing local tourism potential, particularly umbul tourism. This study aims to analyze the form of synergy between the Village Government and BUMDes Tirta Mandiri in managing water tourism in Ponggok Village based on Mark Latash's synergy theory, which includes three pillars: sharing, error compensation, and task-dependence. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative method with a case study approach through field observations and in-depth interviews. The results indicate that the success of tourism management does not solely depend on the institutional capacity of each party but also on their ability to adapt and coordinate across sectors. The collaboration formed has resulted in sustainable tourism management, contributing to increased village economy, community empowerment, and environmental conservation.

This research explores the institutional capabilities of Local Government and BUMDes Tirta Mandiri in managing the tourism potential of Umbul in Ponggok Village, Klaten Regency. It aims to assess the extent to which local actors demonstrate capacity in the dimensions of thinking ahead, thinking again, and thinking across, as conceptualized within the dynamic governance framework. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research adopts a case study method through field observations, in-depth interviews, and analysis of village planning documents. The findings indicate that the success of Umbul Ponggok’s tourism development is not merely attributable to its natural endowments, but also to the capacity of the village government and BUMDes to formulate long-term policy directions, critically review and refine existing initiatives, and foster cross-sectoral collaboration. These results highlight the critical importance of strengthening village institutional capabilities and human resources as a foundation for implementing adaptive and forward-looking policies.

Along with the increasing public interest in coffee, the coffee industry in Indonesia, especially in urban areas such as Surakarta, is growing rapidly.

Domestic helpers (DWs) play a vital role in sustaining household life in urban areas, yet their legal position in the Indonesian labour system remains marginal and vulnerable, without adequate legal protection. This research aims to analyse juridically normatively the legal position of domestic workers within the framework of national labour law and identify regulatory gaps and structural barriers that hinder the protection of their basic rights. Using a literature study method and a normative juridical approach, this research examines legislation, legal doctrine, and recent scientific literature. The analysis shows that Law No. 13 Year 2003 does not recognise domestic workers as formal workers, and Permenaker No. 2 Year 2015 is non-binding, creating a legal vacuum that results in vulnerability to exploitation, discrimination, and human rights violations. The absence of special regulations such as the PPRT Bill and the non-ratification of ILO Convention No. 189 exacerbate structural injustice against domestic workers. This research concludes that the legal protection of domestic workers is very weak normatively and practically, so regulative reform is needed through the enactment of special laws and harmonisation of national laws with international human rights standards in order to create a fair, inclusive and social justice-based employment system.

The Industrial Design Rights of the Koper Generator have been revoked based on the Decision of the Central Jakarta Commercial Court No. 78/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Desain Industri/2023/PN.Niaga,Jkt.Pst. However, even though the registration of the Koper Generator Industrial Design has been revoked, the rights holder continues to exercise his economic rights, thereby causing real losses to the Plaintiff. Therefore, the Plaintiff filed a lawsuit for infringement of industrial design rights and a claim for compensation. The decision on the lawsuit basically rejected the Plaintiff's lawsuit, on the grounds that the Plaintiff did not have legal standing to file a lawsuit for infringement of industrial design rights and a claim for compensation.Based on the results of the study, it was found that legal protection for related parties or parties interested in industrial design rights is only related to filing a lawsuit for cancellation of industrial design rights, but cannot reach legal protection to file a lawsuit for infringement of industrial design rights and a claim for compensation; Legal considerations of the Panel of Judges of the Commercial Court in case No. 76/Pdt.Sus-Hki/Desain Industri/2023/PN.Niaga.Jkt.Pst, is not appropriate, because it does not consider the fact of bad faith from the Defendants who continue to exercise their industrial design rights, even though their industrial design rights (Genset Koper) have been revoked by a court decision. The fact of direct losses suffered by the Plaintiff is not taken into consideration. This can make the judge's decision based on formalistic or procedural justice.
