This study aims to analyze and compare the financial performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks in Indonesia using library research methods. Data sources come from related literature such as scientific journals, articles, previous research reports, and relevant online sources. Bank financial performance is measured through several ratios including capital ratio (CAR), asset quality (NPL), liquidity (LDR), profitability (ROA and ROE), and efficiency (BOPO) which are calculated based on the bank's financial statements. The results of the analysis show that in general the financial performance of both types of banks is in a healthy condition and meets regulatory standards. However, there are differences in performance in several ratios individually. Conventional banks tend to have better performance in CAR, NPL, BOPO, and ROA ratios, indicating better capital quality, assets, operating costs, and profitability. Meanwhile, Islamic banks show better liquidity performance (LDR) and asset growth. However, the difference in performance is not yet fully statistically significant. In general, the financial performance of conventional banks is superior. However, the performance of Islamic banks also experienced an annual increase. To improve competitiveness, Islamic banks need to continue to make improvements, especially in terms of capital, cost management, credit quality, and increasing fee-based products. Both types of banks have developed and operated harmoniously without causing significant financial turmoil. The results of the study are expected to provide a stronger picture of the comparison of the financial performance of Islamic and conventional banks in Indonesia.

Work-life balance is a condition where an individual is able to maintain a balance between the world of work and personal life in a sustainable manner. This balance is something that is expected by every employee, including non-managerial employees of the HCGA division of PT XYZ. The main objective of this study is to determine the achievement of employee work-life balance as reviewed from three aspects, namely time balance, involvement balance, and satisfaction balance. In addition, this study also identifies factors that support and inhibit the achievement of work-life balance in employees. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, namely by describing and analyzing the problems that arise. Qualitative research is based on primary data and secondary data. Primary data in this study were obtained by conducting observations, interviews, and documentation, while secondary data were obtained through books, previous research, and articles related to the research. The results of the study indicate that not all employees are able to achieve optimal work-life balance. Some employees, especially those from the recruitment and general affairs departments, feel that they have a good work-life balance thanks to work flexibility and the ability to manage time. However, employees from the people development and administration departments of HCGA actually experience difficulties due to excessive workload, additional tasks outside of their job descriptions, and lack of team management from superiors. The support of coworkers who help each other and create a supportive work environment is one of the main supporting factors in achieving work-life balance. On the other hand, work pressure outside of working hours and ineffective communication are obstacles that are often faced. This study only uses one variable so that it cannot fully describe the relationship with other aspects such as work stress or job satisfaction. Therefore, further research is recommended to explore more variables in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of work-life balance in the work environment.

Consequently, it can be applied in education to provide an engaging and enjoyable visual experience. This research aims to develop an educational application for introducing computer components using augmented reality technology, which is expected to assist teachers in delivering the material effectively to students. The research employs a Research and Development methodology, with application testing conducted using Alpha testing. The result of this study is an educational media application for learning about computer components using augmented reality technology, which is engaging and adds a new dimension to the teaching and learning process.    

This research discusses the effectiveness of law enforcement against fiduciary crimes in Gorontalo City and the factors that influence its enforcement. The method used in this research is empirical, using field data and facts, and analyzed descriptively qualitatively. Based on the research results, law enforcement against fiduciary crimes in the city of Gorontalo has not been effective, this is due to a trend of increasing and increasing cases from year to year (from 2022 to 2023). Based on the existing case data regarding fiduciary crimes from year to year, where in 2020 there were 17 cases and in 2021 there were 45 cases, it can be said that this has increased by almost 300% (percent). Meanwhile in 2022 there will be a decrease from 45 cases to 30 cases. This means that it only experienced a decrease of around 35% (percent) compared to the previous large increase. However, this number then increased again to 54 cases in 2023 (until August), so that the upward trend this year is around 95% (percent). Based on this, law enforcement against this criminal act has not been effective because it has not completely decreased every year but instead there has been a significant increase. Factors that influence law enforcement for fiduciary crimes at the Gorontalo City Police Department are the identity of the perpetrator being unclear and running away, collateral objects that are difficult to trace, as well as inadequate human resources and infrastructure.
