This research examines the governance of the National Amil Zakat Agency of Barito Kuala Regency as an effort to optimize transparent, professional, and sharia-compliant zakat management. Although South Kalimantan has the highest zakat potential in Kalimantan Island, its zakat realization is still far from the target, reflecting the challenges of public trust and the effectiveness of the institution's governance. This study aims to evaluate the governance of Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency using three main indicators: Zakat Core Principles Index, Sharia Compliance Index of Zakat Management Organization, and Financial Ratio Analysis. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data was collected through observation and internal document analysis. The result shows that the implementation of Zakat Core Principle scores 0.44 (good enough category), while sharia compliance scores 0.72 (good category), and financial ratio shows high efficiency and effectiveness in collecting and distributing zakat. Important findings reveal that the suboptimal documentation of Operational Procedur Standard, absence of internal audit, and high operational burden become obstacles to ideal governance. Although the management of zakat in Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency has been running according to regulations and sharia principles, improvement of institutional structure, documentation, efficiency of human resources, and transparency of financial statements are needed. This research provides a practical contribution as an internal evaluation of the institution and a scientific contribution in the development of accountable and sustainable zakat management in Indonesia.

In the face of an increasingly competitive landscape, culinary MSMEs in Indonesia are required to not only offer quality products, but also create interactive and emotional consumer experiences. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of loyalty programs in influencing the relationship between gamification and relationship marketing on Gen Z consumer loyalty. Using a quantitative approach through online questionnaire distribution to 385 Gen Z respondents on social media, the results show that both gamification and relationship marketing have a significant direct influence on consumer loyalty, as well as an indirect influence through the mediation of loyalty programs. The findings confirm that the integration of gamification elements-such as challenges, point systems, and leaderboards-in loyalty programs can generate intrinsic motivation that strengthens consumers' emotional engagement. Meanwhile, a relationship marketing approach based on trust and personalization encourages long-term commitment. This research extends the application of the Commitment-Trust and Self-Determination theories in the digital-native context, and makes a conceptual contribution to the strategic design of experiential loyalty programs for culinary MSMEs targeting Gen Z consumers. The practical implication is that business owners need to build a loyalty ecosystem that is not only functional, but also fun and emotionally meaningful.

This study shows that the contribution of Regional Original Income (PAD) has a significant positive effect on the level of financial independence of provincial regions in Indonesia in 2019-2023. This means that the greater the contribution of PAD, the higher the level of regional financial independence. On the other hand, the General Allocation Fund (DAU) and the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) have a significant negative effect on regional financial independence, indicating that dependence on transfer funds from the central government can hinder regional efforts to increase their fiscal independence. Meanwhile, the Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) does not show a significant effect on the level of regional financial independence, indicating that although this fund is important, it does not directly contribute to increasing regional financial independence.

Communication within the family is an important foundation in shaping children's character and mindset, especially when facing conflicts or sensitive issues such as teenage pregnancy. The film Dua Garis Biru by Gina S. Noer realistically depicts the dynamics of communication between family members when faced with surprising and stressful situations. This study aims to examine how family communication patterns are represented in the film, and how these communication messages reflect the social conditions of Indonesian society. This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, especially in scenes showing interactions between the main characters and their respective parents. The results of the study show that this film represents a family communication pattern that is authoritative, closed, but slowly develops into a more open and empathetic one along with the ongoing conflict. The film Dua Garis Biru not only presents teenage conflicts, but also reflects the importance of openness and emotional support in family communication. This representation can be a reflection for parents and teenagers in building healthy and solution-oriented communication within the family.  

This study aims to determine the Marketing Communication Strategy for Teman Bus Mamminasata Transportation Services on Social Media in Makassar City. The method used is the Qualitative Method using data collection techniques through interviews and documentation, while the targets of this study are the transportation agency, passengers, and the community. The results of this study indicate that the application of Communication Strategy to Teman Bus Maminasata transportation services through social media has not been carried out systematically. It can be seen in several posts on Teman Bus Mamminasata social media accounts that were updated 2 years ago, although the marketing strategy carried out by the transportation agency is in the form of public socialization through forums, visits and events, but this does not affect public interest in using Teman Bus Mamminasata. Therefore, the application of marketing strategies through social media can help managers to easily disseminate information related to tutorials on using Teman Bus Maminasata, as well as the routes taken by this public transportation.

The problem of election violations in the form of money politics continues to be a challenge in the democratization process in Indonesia, including in Gorontalo Regency. Although regulations have been strictly regulated in Law Number 7 Year 2017, the implementation of law enforcement against money politics still faces various obstacles. This study aims to analyze the obstacles faced by law enforcement officials, especially the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), in taking action against money politics violations during the implementation of the General Election in Gorontalo Regency. This type of research is empirical juridical research, with a qualitative approach and using interview techniques with Bawaslu commissioners as the main data source. The main findings show that the main obstacles come from weak evidentiary instruments, a deeply rooted transactional political culture in the community, and Bawaslu's limited authority in the law enforcement process. In addition, the lack of public participation in reporting violations is a factor that contributes to weakening the effectiveness of law enforcement. The conclusion of this study confirms that the success of law enforcement against money politics is largely determined by the synergy between strong regulations, independent and professional supervisory institutions, and public political awareness. Therefore, it is recommended that strengthening the institutional capacity of Bawaslu, reformulating regulations regarding the proof of money politics violations, and increasing public political education be prioritized in the electoral reform agenda in the regions.

This research adopts a normative juridical approach, focusing on legal norms, doctrines, and principles related to the Inspectorate's responsibility in supervising problematic BUMDes management from a criminal law perspective. Supervisory planning begins with the Regional Inspectorate preparing an Annual Supervisory Work Plan (RKPT), which outlines oversight activities for the year. Internal supervision and criminal law serve different but complementary roles: the former is preventive, aiming to detect irregularities early, while the latter is repressive, addressing legal violations. The synergy between both mechanisms is essential for transparent and efficient BUMDes financial management. Strengthening the Inspectorate’s role requires improving its institutional capacity and enhancing the competence of its personnel. This includes developing technical auditing skills and a deep understanding of criminal law related to village fund misuse. Professional auditors with legal insight are crucial for early detection of fund misappropriation, thereby fostering integrity and accountability in village financial governance.

This research is empirical in nature, involving direct field observations through interviews with authorized police officers of Bone Bolango who are responsible for handling traffic violations. The findings indicate that the role of the police is crucial in fostering traffic order through comprehensive and adaptive approaches. The strategies required by law enforcement to combat traffic violations emphasize the importance of holistic and contextual methods. Effective strategies must integrate strict law enforcement with public legal education and awareness-building, along with the use of modern technologies such as electronic traffic law enforcement (e-TLE) to enhance monitoring and transparency. The proposed recommendations highlight the need to improve the capacity of police personnel in both quantity and quality through continuous training focused on enforcement techniques and humanistic approaches. A more comprehensive approach is necessary, integrating enforcement, education, and community guidance simultaneously. These strategies must be supported by enhanced infrastructure and technology, such as the development of the e-TLE system and the installation of CCTV at high-risk violation points to improve monitoring effectiveness.

This study aims to examine the effect of Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) on stock prices of agro-industrial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the post-Covid-19 economic recovery period, specifically from 2021 to 2023. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a causal associative type. The data used are secondary data from annual financial statements and year-end stock prices. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with classical assumption tests to ensure model validity. The results indicate that ROA and ROE have both simultaneous and partial effects on stock prices. ROA demonstrates a stronger influence compared to ROE, suggesting that asset management efficiency is a key determinant of stock value in agro-industrial firms during the economic recovery period.

Islam after the death of the Prophet Muhammad SAW experienced a golden age. The peak of this glory was not seen from the size of its territory, but from the progress of various sectors such as art, culture, building architecture, and education. All of this success was achieved during the Abbasid Dynasty. This dynasty was different from the previous empire, namely the Umayyad, which focused more on expanding the territory of da'wah. In this short and simple article, the development of art, especially architecture, during the Abbasid Dynasty is discussed, which is one indicator of the progress of the Baghdad Caliphate. Architecture is the work of an architect designed to build spaces in a building with certain functions and purposes. The royal palace building is an architectural design that is formed according to the development of the times and contains certain meanings in each of its arrangements. This article aims to explain the architectural style of the Abbasid Caliphate palace, including its types and the influence of other architectural styles in its construction. The method used is a literature study (library research) by collecting data from various relevant literature. The results of this writing are expected to provide a general description of the characteristics of palace architecture during the Abbasid Dynasty.

The current criminal law system is still oriented towards the perpetrator, with minimal protection for victims. Ideally, the law should prioritize justice for victims through a criminological and victimological approach. Therefore, legal reform, officer training, and integrated services are needed so that crime prevention is more effective and just. This study aims to explore the transformation of criminological and victimological perspectives that can be the basis for developing a crime prevention strategy based on victim protection.method uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the transformation of criminology and victimology perspectives in crime prevention strategies based on victim protection. Data were collected through literature studies and analyzed thematically. The results are expected to provide conceptual and practical recommendations to strengthen the legal system and social policies that are responsive to victims.The results of this study show that the transformation of criminological and victimological perspectives reflects a shift from a perpetrator-centric legal approach to a more holistic and victim-centric one. This integration strengthens the legal system and social policies to better protect, restore and empower victims, and to develop effective crime prevention strategies. With a more humane and restorative justice approach, this transformation becomes an important foundation for reducing crime rates and forming responsive and sustainable public policies.

The development of technology in the field of fisheries is very rapid along with facilitating human work in the field. Human work can be done by tools such as feeding catfish in ponds automatically. This job is easy to do, but problems will arise when catfish are not fed at night or are fed too late, then the catfish will eat smaller catfish so that it can be detrimental to catfish farming owners. With this background, the author created a "Catfish Feeding Control System Based on the Internet of Things (IoT) Using the Fuzzy Sugeno Method". This testing and discussion was carried out by functionally testing each component, testing the program using simulation and testing it as a whole. The results of testing the tool and taking data are expected to obtain valid data and the tool works according to its function and purpose as expected. From the results of the analysis and discussion of the research entitled "Internet Of Things (IoT) Based Catfish Feeding Control System Using the Fuzzy Sugeno Method" it can be concluded as a process of automatic fish feeding using the RTC module as a reference for catfish time three times a day with good results and the process of calculating the amount of fish feed 3 to 8% with fish weight from LOW to HIGH using Fuzzy Sugeno has worked well compared to the results of the BLYNK application.
