This study analyzes the concept of al-Kasb in the view of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani and assesses the relationship between this concept and contemporary work ethics. With the changes in the modern economic system, which emphasize efficiency, objective rationality, and the achievement of optimal results, various ethical conflicts in the professional and business world have become more apparent. The methodology applied in this study is a literature review with a descriptive-analytic approach, through the analysis of classical and contemporary texts to explore the theological, ethical, and social aspects contained in the concept of al-Kasb, and then conceptually compare it with the characteristics of modern work ethics. The findings of this study show that al-Kasb is not only understood as an economic activity aimed at accumulating wealth, but also as a normative guide that integrates the goals of worship, ethical responsibility, and social obligations in the production process. Work activities are viewed as an individual responsibility that supports the practice of worship and as a collective responsibility to maintain social-economic welfare and harmony. Therefore, al-Kasb provides an integrative ethical foundation that has the potential to enrich and strengthen current work ethics by emphasizing values of integrity, justice, and social responsibility in the economic aspects of life.

In contemporary higher education, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is increasingly expected to prepare learners for meaningful professional participation rather than isolated linguistic performance. Nevertheless, ESP pedagogy has often remained predominantly skill-oriented, with limited conceptual integration of pedagogical innovations such as project-based learning and digital learning. This study presents a systematic literature review of 40 peer-reviewed studies examining how ESP pedagogy is being reframed as situated professional practice through the integration of project-based and digital learning. Following the process of thematic synthesis, the review provides an examination of what ESP learning is perceived to be, how it is conducted and how it is evaluated in different disciplines and countries. Results show a marked pedagogical transition from a language-centric approach to one that incorporated more authenticity, collaboration and professional concern. Reported learning attainments go beyond language to cover professional capability, digital literacy, autonomous learning and identity development. Project-based learning authenticates language use in professional workflows, and digital learning environments support multimodal communication reminiscent of the way people work today. This review contends that in combination, these perspectives re-conceptualise the pedagogical nature of ESP as a type of applied professional education ’realised’ within particular social, institutional and discipline specific contexts. By synthesizing empirical evidence across settings, the study offers a conceptual reframing of ESP pedagogy and outlines implications for curriculum design, assessment, and future research in higher education and the social humanities.

This study aims to analyze the fundamental role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping the noble character of students using a qualitative approach through literature review techniques. Data were collected from various scientific sources published between 2020 and 2026 and analyzed using content analysis methods, which included stages of reduction, categorization, and conceptual synthesis. The main focus of this study is to examine how PAI teachers integrate the values of tawhid and worship into the daily behavior of students, so that religious education does not merely remain at the cognitive level but manifests in noble character. The findings indicate that PAI teachers play a strategic role as murabbi, mu’allim, and muaddib, whose success is determined by the integration of pedagogical, professional, social, personality, and spiritual competencies. Amid the dynamic challenges of the digital era, teachers are required to revitalize their roles not only as educators but also as moral exemplars (uswatun hasanah) and agents of character transformation. The synergy between teachers' competencies and consistent exemplification is the key to safeguarding the students' morality and fostering a resilient personality in the school environment.

Leadership is the key to success in educational institutions, transformational leadership always emphasizes the vision, mission, and goals of the institution and motivates all school members to cooperate in advancing the institution. Transformational leadership implemented at SMAN 2 and MAN 2 Kediri City is able to bring positive changes and encourage better achievements. Educational institutions whose leaders implement transformational leadership tend to be more active and adaptive to change. This research model uses a qualitative approach with a multi-case study design. Data collection techniques use in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques use condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The findings are that the principal drives teacher professionalism by encouraging followers to imitate his positive behavior, be flexible, and form a personal commitment to organizational transformation. The principal acts as an inspiring motivator by providing inspirational motivation, building effective communication, and consolidating the strength of followers to support transformation.Principals hone teachers' intellectual abilities by involving them in decision-making, preparing them for challenges, and providing coaching, feedback, and evaluation. Principals act as role models by providing personal feedback, rewarding them, and promoting the achievement of the institution's goals.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program through a collaborative governance framework in Kendal Regency using a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design. Quantitative data collected from 34 respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis, while qualitative data obtained from five key informants were analyzed thematically. The results reveal very strong and statistically significant correlations (p < 0.001) among cross-sectoral coordination, stakeholder roles, community participation, and accountability–transparency, indicating that collaborative synergy is a decisive factor in successful policy implementation. The Kruskal–Wallis test indicates consensus across professional groups (p> 0.05). However, qualitative findings uncover a paradox of coordination without communication: implementers internalize coordination as a functional operational reality, while beneficiaries experience informational alienation. The resulting collaborative configuration can be characterized as technocratic–instrumentalist—technically effective yet weak in terms of social legitimacy. This study underscores that implementing social policy requires collaborative governance that is not only coordinative but also communicative and deliberative. Policy implications include strengthening dialogic public communication, transforming consultative participation into deliberative engagement, and promoting participatory transparency to foster shared understanding between bureaucratic systems and program beneficiaries.

The principal’s leadership plays a strategic role in determining the direction and quality of educational implementation in schools. This study aims to analyze the implementation of integrative leadership based on prophetic values through the application of transformational, instructional, and servant leadership styles at SMA Muhammadiyah PK Kottabarat Surakarta. Islamic-based schools face challenges in integrating academic excellence with the development of religious character; therefore, a leadership model is required that is not only managerially effective but also morally and spiritually grounded. This research employed a qualitative approach with a field study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using interactive analysis techniques with triangulation to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that the integration of transformational, instructional, and servant leadership forms an Islamic Integrative Leadership model that combines a vision for change, the strengthening of learning quality, and the values of service and exemplary conduct within an Islamic framework. Transformational leadership fosters a shared vision and an innovative culture; instructional leadership enhances the quality of the learning process through effective academic supervision; while servant leadership creates a humanistic and participatory school climate. This leadership model contributes to improving teacher professionalism, strengthening students’ character, and establishing a religious school culture oriented toward holistic and sustainable educational quality.

Pedagogical challenges faced by elementary school teachers remain a critical issue in classroom instruction. Teachers are expected to implement student-centered learning while addressing diverse student characteristics, increasing curriculum demands, limited instructional resources, and various classroom constraints. This study aims to understand and describe the pedagogical challenges experienced by elementary school teachers in classroom instruction through a qualitative library research approach. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last five years and relevant academic books published within the last ten years. The selected literature was analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and key issues related to pedagogical practices. The findings indicate that major challenges include classroom management difficulties, the implementation of differentiated instruction, curriculum adaptation, technology integration, and limited opportunities for professional development. These challenges reveal a persistent gap between pedagogical theories and classroom realities. The study concludes that addressing pedagogical challenges requires not only teacher competence but also strong institutional support, flexible curriculum implementation, and continuous professional development.

Social media is one form of technological advancement that has become an integral part of students’ lives, including university students. Its use is not limited to communication and information sharing, but it may also generate psychological effects that influence both physical and mental health. The purpose of this review is to identify and explain the psychological impacts of social media use through appropriate theoretical approaches, which serve as a foundation for discussing the research findings. This study employs a literature review method by examining various academic books and relevant scientific articles. The findings indicate that excessive use of social media has the potential to cause psychological problems among university students, such as social comparison behavior, cyberbullying, decreased sleep quality, and reduced learning productivity. These issues are influenced by several factors, including the intensity of social media use, the type of content accessed, and individuals’ ability to manage emotions and time. Furthermore, uncontrolled social media use may lead to difficulties in social relationships, increased procrastination, poor time management, and reduced self-control in using social networking platforms. Therefore, students are encouraged to develop healthier patterns of social media use to reduce the risk of psychological disturbances. This review is also expected to assist healthcare professionals in understanding the relationship between the intensity of social media use and the occurrence of depressive symptoms among university students.

This study explores the influence of career factors and economic independence on the phenomenon of late marriage in early adult women (aged 25-35 years) in Indonesia, especially in urban areas of North Sumatra such as Medan. Adopting a mixed-methods design, the study involved a quantitative survey of 250 career female respondents (with age criteria above 25 years old, unmarried, and a minimum income of the city UMR) using the Likert scale to measure career priorities as well as the financial independence index, complemented by logistic regression analysis to test causal relationships. Semi-structural interviews with 20 key informants uncovered an in-depth narrative about the trade-offs between professional ambitions (such as job promotion and income stability) and traditional marriage expectations. Key findings show that women with a bachelor's degree and above and an income of 1.5 times UMR tend to postpone marriage until the average age of 31.4 years, driven by the desire to achieve economic independence (regression coefficient β=0.42, p<0.01) as well as the flexibility of living without partner dependence. However, moderator factors such as Batak or Malay cultural pressures in Medan create internal conflicts, with 68% of respondents reporting social stress from family. Theoretically, the results support role conflict theory in modern family dynamics, while implications include recommendations for work-life balance-based pre-marital counseling programs and corporate policies to support high-quality marriages. This research contributes to the Indonesian family relations literature by highlighting the paradigm shift from patriarchal norms towards gender equality.

The emergence of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) represents the most disruptive technological paradigm shift in maritime operations since the transition from sail to steam, yet Southeast Asian maritime nations — including Indonesia — remain substantially unprepared to integrate autonomous vessel technologies within their regulatory, port infrastructure, and maritime education frameworks. This study conducts the first systematic readiness assessment of Southeast Asian ports, shipping companies, and maritime regulatory authorities for autonomous vessel integration, identifying critical regulatory gaps and proposing a phased adoption roadmap. Employing a qualitative research design with thematic and comparative analysis, the study engaged autonomous vessel technology specialists, port operations directors, maritime regulators, and maritime academics across five Southeast Asian nations as primary respondents. Findings reveal an overall MASS readiness composite score of 3.72 out of 5.00 — indicating moderate readiness — with regulatory framework development and port infrastructure adaptation identified as the most critical gap domains. The study contributes a MASS readiness index tool and regional policy roadmap for ASEAN maritime autonomous technology adoption, with direct implications for maritime professional education and regional maritime governance.

Indonesia's territorial waters, encompassing the world's most strategically significant maritime chokepoints including the Malacca, Sunda, and Lombok Straits, face acute and escalating marine pollution threats from the dense vessel traffic that transits these corridors daily. This study evaluates the effectiveness of MARPOL Annex I–VI compliance enforcement in Indonesian waters, identifying systemic implementation gaps and proposing an optimized enforcement and early warning response model. Employing a qualitative research design with thematic analysis and documentary review, the study engaged marine environmental inspectors, port state control officers, maritime law academics, and environmental scientists as primary respondents. Findings reveal an overall MARPOL implementation effectiveness composite score of 3.89 out of 5.00, with Annex I (oil pollution) and Annex VI (air pollution) enforcement identified as the most critically deficient implementation domains. The research demonstrates that Indonesian MARPOL enforcement is constrained by inspection capacity limitations, inter-agency coordination failures, and inadequate pollution response infrastructure across outer island port jurisdictions. The study contributes an enforcement optimization model and early warning pollution response system framework for Indonesian maritime environmental governance, with direct implications for maritime professional education at STIP Jakarta.

Port State Control (PSC) compliance remains one of the most critical determinants of vessel safety performance and international maritime trade competitiveness. This study conducts a comparative analysis of PSC detention rates and deficiency patterns among Indonesian-flagged vessels relative to selected ASEAN counterparts, identifying systemic root causes of non-compliance and proposing an institutional improvement model. Employing a qualitative research design with thematic analysis, the study engaged PSC officers, maritime safety inspectors, shipping company technical managers, and maritime law academics as primary respondents. Findings reveal an overall compliance readiness composite score of 4.19 out of 5.00, with structural management deficiencies and crew certification irregularities identified as the most prevalent root causes of PSC detentions. The research demonstrates that Indonesian-flagged vessel PSC performance, while improving, continues to lag behind Singaporean and Malaysian benchmarks due to inadequate safety management system implementation and inconsistent flag state oversight. The study contributes a compliance improvement model for Indonesian maritime administration and shipping companies, with direct implications for maritime professional education at STIP Jakarta.

Healthcare service quality is an important indicator of hospital performance and is influenced by the availability of medical equipment, healthcare worker competency, and effective hospital quality management. This study aimed to analyze the effects of medical equipment availability and healthcare worker competency on healthcare service quality, with hospital quality management as a mediating variable, among inpatients at a Type C hospital in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan. This research employed a quantitative explanatory approach with a causal associative design. Data were collected from hospitalized patients using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that medical equipment availability, healthcare worker competency, and hospital quality management had significant positive effects on healthcare service quality. In addition, medical equipment availability and healthcare worker competency significantly influenced hospital quality management, which also served as a significant mediating variable in improving healthcare service quality. These findings suggest that enhancing healthcare service quality requires an integrated strategy involving adequate medical equipment, competent healthcare professionals, and a well-implemented hospital quality management system. Strengthening these aspects is expected to improve service performance and patient satisfaction, particularly in Type C hospitals.

Medical personnel compliance in prescribing drugs according to the National Formulary (ForNas) is essential to ensure rational therapy, improve service quality, and enhance efficiency in health financing at government health facilities. However, compliance remains a challenge at Johar Baru Regional General Hospital, Central Jakarta. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing medical personnel compliance with ForNas-based prescribing, including drug availability, management policies, and the knowledge, attitudes, norms, and perceptions of medical staff.A qualitative approach was used through in-depth interviews with medical personnel, heads of supporting service sections, and pharmacy unit leaders. The study also involved observation and review of hospital formulary documents, minimum service standards reports for 2024, and monitoring and evaluation reports on prescribing compliance for 2024 and January June 2025. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by NVivo software.The findings indicate that compliance is influenced by medical personnel’s understanding of ForNas policies, clinical experience, and professional attitudes toward prescribing standards. Management factors such as supervision, technological support, and procurement systems also play important roles. Limited drug stocks and suboptimal control systems were identified as major obstacles.The hospital is recommended to strengthen compliance by updating clinical practice guidelines, developing a ForNas-based hospital formulary, improving management support, optimizing information technology systems, ensuring drug availability, and proposing additional ForNas drugs to the Ministry of Health.

This research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the complex dynamics termed the "Digital Bureaucracy Paradox," a phenomenon that emerged significantly following the implementation of the Work From Anywhere (WFA) policy within the Regional Secretariat of Sorong City. The primary focus this study lies in the strategic dilemma faced by visionary leadership in balancing modern flexible work patterns with the obligation to enforce Civil Servant (ASN) discipline, which has historically been conventional and rigid. Amidst massive digital transformation, local-level bureaucracy is forced to adapt to work models requiring high agility, while simultaneously remaining bound by formalistic disciplinary regulatory standards. Quantitative findings indicate that although digital platforms have been effective as instruments for work instructions, the effectiveness visual supervision remains irreplaceable in maintaining the integrity of working hours, particularly regarding low scores in separating personal and professional matters during WFA. Conversely, submissions the E-Kinerja (E-Performance) system show very high level of administrative compliance, yet do not fully guarantee the quality of substantive outputs. Statistical analysis confirms that adaptive digital leadership has decisive influence on the successful implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). These findings offer  theoretical contribution to the study of bureaucratic behaviour within digital ecosystems and provide practical recommendations for redefining the ASN discipline from formalistic patterns toward a result-based substantive discipline. The synergy between visionary leadership and the strengthening of bottom-up accountability mechanisms through public participation is expected to realise a governance framework that is not only technologically modern but also functionally accountable in the post-pandemic era.

Educational institutions increasingly face competitive pressures in attracting and maintaining student enrollment, particularly within the private school sector. This study examines educational marketing strategies implemented to increase student enrollment in Catholic private schools. The research focuses on two institutions, namely SMA Strada Santo Thomas Aquino and SMA Katolik Lia Stephanie, which demonstrate different enrollment trends and marketing approaches. A qualitative exploratory method was employed to understand institutional strategies and marketing practices in their natural contexts. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation conducted between August and December 2025. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, while analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that both schools implement educational marketing strategies based on the marketing mix framework (7P), including product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence. SMA Strada Santo Thomas Aquino applies a community-relational approach that emphasizes Catholic values, alumni loyalty, school reputation, and word-of-mouth communication within community networks. SMA Katolik Lia Stephanie adopts a differentiation-professional approach by offering flagship academic programs, modern facilities, and structured promotional strategies coordinated by a dedicated marketing team. The effectiveness of these strategies is supported by church networks, alumni engagement, foundation support, and consistent educational service quality. Several challenges were identified, including limited marketing resources, insufficient digital marketing competence, and increasing competition among private schools. Strengthening adaptive and innovative marketing strategies is essential for maintaining institutional competitiveness and sustaining student enrollment in Catholic private educational institutions.

This study examines inclusive education for children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), who often experience significant challenges in social interaction and academic adaptation. The primary objective is to evaluate existing educational approaches and strategies implemented in Indonesia, while also identifying gaps in current research and practice. This study employs a literature review method, analyzing 20 relevant scientific articles to synthesize key findings and trends. The results indicate that structured approaches such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) have proven effective in improving students’ behavioral outcomes, emotional regulation, and academic performance. These approaches emphasize proactive strategies, skill development, and supportive learning environments. However, several persistent challenges hinder optimal implementation, including limited teacher knowledge and training in inclusive practices, insufficient institutional support, and a lack of access to professional psychological services. Additionally, inconsistencies in policy implementation across regions contribute to unequal educational experiences for children with EBD. Based on these findings, the study highlights the importance of strengthening teacher capacity through continuous professional development and increasing access to multidisciplinary support systems. Furthermore, effective collaboration among teachers, parents, schools, and the wider community is essential to foster inclusive, adaptive, and responsive educational environments that can meet the diverse needs of all learners.

This community service program aims to strengthen high school graduates’ understanding of the architectural profession, educational pathways, and legal qualifications required to become a professional architect under the Indonesian Institute of Architects (IAI). The online outreach was held on November 27, 2025, featuring two licensed architects from IAI and attended by 97 participants. The activities included interactive presentations, discussions, and an evaluation through a five-item pretest and post-test. The results show an overall improvement in participants’ comprehension of architects’ roles, responsibilities, and professional legality, with an average accuracy above 90%. The greatest improvement occurred in the legal aspect, where participants recognized the importance of the Surat Tanda Registrasi Arsitek (STRA) as a legal credential for professional practice. This program effectively increased prospective students’ awareness of professionalism, ethics, and regulatory understanding in architectural practice. It also served as an academic promotion platform that bridges architectural education with society’s demand for competent and ethical architects.

Microteaching is an innovative educator training method aimed at developing basic teaching skills and fostering student self-efficacy through a micro-scale approach. This study describes how teaching simulations with limited duration, audience size, and material focus can facilitate the transformation of pre-service teachers' pedagogical competence. Using a qualitative approach, the research found that microteaching functions as a "safe laboratory" for students to explore teaching creativity without the risk of systemic failure. The skill development process includes mastering stimulus variation techniques through the use of visual and audiovisual media, such as PowerPoint and instructional videos, as well as strengthening instructional communication styles. Furthermore, students' self-efficacy increases significantly through a cycle of constructive feedback from peers and supervisors, enabling reflection-on-action. The results conclude that the re-plan and re-teach mechanisms are crucial in shaping professional and permanent teaching behaviors before students enter actual classroom environments. These findings highlight the importance of microteaching in developing both the technical and reflective skills necessary for effective teaching practice.
