This study examines the impact of CEO education on Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure in Indonesian banks, with a focus on the role of CEO characteristics in shaping corporate social practices. Using data from banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the study explores the relationship between CEO education level, CEO background in finance, and CSR disclosure, applying the Upper Echelons Theory (UET) to explain how CEO characteristics influence corporate decision-making. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between CEO education level and CSR disclosure, suggesting that CEOs with higher education are more likely to lead firms that disclose comprehensive CSR information. Conversely, CEOs with a finance background were found to have a negative impact on CSR disclosure, indicating a preference for financial performance over social responsibility. Additionally, company size was found to significantly influence CSR disclosure, with larger companies more likely to engage in CSR reporting. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on CSR disclosure by highlighting the role of CEO education in shaping corporate transparency, particularly in the banking sector. The findings also underscore the need for a balanced perspective in leadership, where a broader commitment to social responsibility and sustainability complements financial expertise.

Noise in educational environments can affect the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes. This study aims to analyze the impact of traffic noise on teaching and learning activities in Building V of Semarang University, located along the Soekarno-Hatta arterial road. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach by measuring noise levels using a Sound Level Meter on six floors of the building. Measurements were taken during active lecture hours with time intervals of 3 x 30 minutes. The results showed that noise levels on floors 1 to 3 were above the educational environment quality standard of 55 dB according to KepMenLH No. 48 of 1996. Meanwhile, on the 6th floor, the noise level averaged around 55 dB. Excessive noise makes it difficult for students to hear lecturers' explanations, reduces their ability to capture information, and decreases learning material retention. To address these issues, sound insulation installation, spatial planning improvements by designing room layouts farther from noise sources, vegetation planting, and lecture rescheduling to avoid peak traffic times are necessary.

The new era of digitalization created by humans has touched various aspects including transaction payment methods. With digital payments, humans make payments with just one scan. Bank Indonesia, in collaboration with ASPI, launched digital payment Qris in 2020. Qris was initially a payment solution during the pandemic that was accepted by the public and is still widely used today. Including the younger generation, they often use Qris to make payments. This research aims to identify the influence of the availability, effectiveness and ease of use of Qris on purchasing decisions and its impact on the character of the younger generation. Using the quantitative SAM PLS method and qualitative literature study, the research took samples of student members of the GMNI organization who met the criteria. The results of data processing showed that the variables of availability, effectiveness and ease of use of Qris had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. The impact of using Qris for the younger generation is a shift in disciplined, independent and responsible character due to the ease of payment facilities which gives rise to consumer behavior. This can be handled with supervision and character education starting at the family, school, community and government levels. By synergizing together, a strong character can be built in the younger generation, able to answer problems and be of benefit to the wider community.

This study examines the relationship between Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM), Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB), and Employee Performance in the hospitality industry. Using data collected from 265 employees across 12 star-rated hotels in Semarang that have implemented green hotel practices, this research employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that Green HRM positively influences both PEB (β = 0.627) and Employee Performance (β = 0.341). Furthermore, PEB positively affects Employee Performance (β = 0.396) and partially mediates the relationship between Green HRM and Employee Performance. Demographic factors, including age, education level, and tenure, moderate several relationship paths, suggest the importance of a differentiated approach in Green HRM implementation. Among Green HRM dimensions, Training and Development and Employee Involvement have the strongest effect on PEB, while Performance Management and Reward Systems most directly influence Employee Performance. These results provide empirical evidence that integrating environmental sustainability into HR practices benefits not only environmental outcomes but also enhances employee performance, creating a win-win situation for hotels in their pursuit of competitive advantage while meeting environmental responsibilities.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of observational activities conducted by students of Qur’anic Sciences and Tafsir (IAT) in Qur’anic da’wah activities at Darul Ihsan Modern Islamic Boarding School. The focus of the study is directed at the forms of da’wah activities, the methods of delivering the material, and the responses of the students (santri) to the presence of university students acting as young preachers who are directly involved in the process of religious guidance within the boarding school environment. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach employing field observation techniques, in-depth interviews with relevant parties, and documentation as supporting research data.

Pregnancy is the process of fetal growth and development that occurs in the uterus from conception to the onset of labor. In the first trimester, mothers usually experience nausea and vomiting starting at around 8 weeks and ending at 12 weeks. Emesis gravidarum is nausea and vomiting that can cause discomfort and the frequency of nausea and vomiting occurs approximately 5 times a day, which occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy. This study aims to determine the Effect of Mozart Classical Music Therapy on the Level of Emesis Gravidarum in Pregnant Women in the First Trimester. The research design used in this study was pre-experimental with a one group pretest & posttest design approach. The population in this study were all pregnant women in the first trimester in the Jakenan Health Center Area, Pati Regency. The population used was 30 pregnant women in the first trimester. The number of pregnant women samples used in this study was 30 pregnant women, the instrument used was an observation sheet, the results of which will be analyzed using the Wilcoxon sign rank test method. The results showed that most of the frequency of emesis gravidarum before being given Mozart classical music intervention was in the moderate category, as many as 16 respondents (53.3%). Most of the frequency of emesis gravidarum after being given Mozart classical music intervention was in the mild category, as many as 20 respondents (66.7%) and almost some were moderate, as many as 10 respondents (33.3%). Data analysis shows that there is a difference in the level of emesis gravidarum before and after being given classical Mozart music therapy, a p value of 0.000 <α 0.05 is obtained, which means that classical Mozart music has an effect on reducing the frequency of emesis gravidarum in pregnant women in the first trimester in the Jakenan Health Center area, Pati Regency. It is hoped that health workers such as health center officers and midwives will improve their education and handling of reducing Emesis gravidarum in pregnant women non-pharmacologically.

This study explores the impact of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) on student engagement and academic performance in multicultural classrooms. As educational environments become increasingly diverse, CRP has emerged as a critical approach to meet the needs of students from various cultural backgrounds. This quasi-experimental study involved students from multicultural classrooms across multiple schools, with one group implementing CRP strategies and a control group using traditional teaching methods. Data was collected through surveys assessing student engagement and academic records to measure performance before and after the implementation of CRP practices. The findings indicate that students in CRP classrooms exhibited significantly higher engagement levels and improved academic performance compared to the control group. The increased student participation, motivation, and academic success were attributed to the integration of culturally relevant content that resonated with students’ cultural identities. The study highlights several challenges in the implementation of CRP, including the need for professional teacher training, curriculum adaptation to incorporate cultural relevance, and strong policy support. It also underscores the importance of teacher preparedness, curriculum adaptation, and institutional support in ensuring the effective implementation of CRP. The study’s results align with international best practices, demonstrating that CRP significantly enhances student outcomes, particularly among minority cultural groups. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of CRP and its scalability across various educational contexts to further understand its impact on academic achievement and engagement in diverse classroom settings.

Religious education plays a very important role in shaping the discipline and moral character of students, especially at the primary level. This community service aims to assist students of class VI A at MI Darul Ulum Palangka Raya in tadarus Juz Amma, reciting Asmaul Husna, and reciting the obligatory prayers, as an effort to improve the discipline of worship. This activity uses the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) method, which utilises school assets and the potential of students and teachers. MBKM Teaching Assistance programme students play an active role in collaboration with the VI A class teacher to accompany students during the activity. The results of this assistance show significant improvement in students, especially in the ability to read the Qur'an with tartil and correct tajweed, memorise Asmaul Husna, and recite prayer readings correctly. This activity, which is routinely carried out every morning, not only improves the understanding of worship techniques, but also familiarises students to carry out worship consistently. This assistance fosters students' sense of responsibility and discipline in carrying out worship obligations.

Fear of crime is closely linked to various factors such as education, income, race, age, and especially gender. Many studies have shown that women tend to experience higher levels of anxiety than men, thus limiting their participation in utilizing urban outdoor spaces. This condition emphasizes the need for crime prevention efforts to be integrated into urban planning, emphasizing the fulfillment of a sense of security not only physically but also psychologically. If the city fails to provide an adequate sense of security, it will lead to increased anxiety, discomfort, and ultimately limit community involvement in the use of public spaces. This study aims to identify design factors that influence women's sense of security and psychological safety in downtown areas. The research paradigm used is post-positivism with a quantitative approach, reinforced by walkthrough analysis techniques to produce more accurate findings. The results show that control factors are the most dominant aspect in influencing women's psychological security and safety, while sub-factors such as lighting, diversity of activities, availability of open spaces, and road conditions have also been shown to play a significant role in reducing women's anxiety when accessing public spaces. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of city center design that is not only oriented towards physical function alone, but also pays attention to psychological aspects in order to create a safe, inclusive, and gender-friendly urban environment so that women can feel more protected and free to participate in urban life.

Key issues identified include employees' inadequate understanding of work ethics and anti-corruption policies, along with insufficient systematic training. This research analyzes various education and training programs implemented in banks and assesses their effectiveness in enhancing employee awareness and commitment to anti-corruption practices. I highlight that comprehensive education and continuous employee training are essential for significantly mitigating the risk of corruption in banking by fostering a transparent and ethical organizational culture. It is critical for banking institutions to enhance anti-corruption awareness among their employees. Training programs should engage all employee levels and include regular evaluations to assess their effectiveness. Ultimately, the goal is to create a safer banking environment free from corrupt practices.

Muslims were created by Allah in the best possible form. Maintaining God's creation can be done with various efforts, one of which is sports which are related to regulating emotions and diet to improve physical fitness. The healthier our body is, the more comfortable it is to worship Allah. Talking about physical education, which is commonly known as physical education, is closely related to health. Health is the most precious gift from Allah because of the blessings that are needed in a person's life, including in terms of worshiping Allah. Therefore, it is very important to maintain health through exercise that can improve body fitness. So if we relate it to extracurricular activities in school, we can see how karate is able to improve the physical fitness of karateka (people who follow karate) towards their worship of Allah with the target of students in elementary schools with various age ranges. Through the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method, conclusions can be drawn that the use of karate extracurricular can fit the body and have an impact on body health and focus on worshipping Allah. This theme is interesting to explore because it is still not paid attention to and applied in school life as well as in daily life. The hope is to make yourself aware of how important the level of fitness in the body is through karate extracurricular at school and also help make school institutions and coaches who have professional abilities in the field of karate proud

The candidate threshold policy for regional heads in Indonesia aims to enhance candidate quality through significant political support. However, the implementation of this policy often negatively impacts political participation and competition at the local level. This study aims to analyze the effects of the candidate threshold policy on the number of candidates, the dominance of major parties, and the quality of local democracy. The research employs legal research methods, including literature review and policy analysis with a qualitative approach. The findings indicate that the threshold policy leads to a decrease in the number of candidates, strengthens the dominance of major parties, and reduces healthy political competition. Recommended policy reforms include lowering the threshold, providing support for independent candidates, increasing transparency, conducting periodic evaluations, and enhancing political education. The implications of these findings highlight the need for policy adjustments to create a more equitable and effective election process and to strengthen the quality of local democracy.
