On the other hand, Islamic law emphasizes justice and the prohibition of usury, although the practice in the field is not yet fully appropriate. The study recommends collaboration between regulators and service providers to create a fair and law-abiding system. This is expected to contribute to the development of P2P lending policies and practices that are more sustainable and in accordance with sharia principles.

Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions that aim to understand, appreciate, and practice the teachings of Islam by emphasizing the importance of religious morals as guidelines in everyday social life. In pesantren, students are expected to apply good values in interactions with fellow students. However, the understanding of the impact of bullying is still unclear for some students. Bullying behavior often occurs unconsciously as part of social interaction, for example, teasing which is initially considered a joke, but then develops into a serious problem. Through this counseling, it is hoped that students can better understand the negative impacts that may arise due to bullying. The method of implementing this community service is in the form of counseling with slide presentation media and infocus, which was conducted at one of the Islamic Boarding Schools in South Tangerang. During the education process, pesantren also face various problems, one of which is bullying which often occurs due to lack of supervision from the pesantren. With this counseling, it is hoped that students will be more aware and understand the bad consequences of bullying.

Bandung Village has strong economic potential through the development of local handicraft business units and Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), but in its financial management the village experienced a decline in Village Original Revenue (PADes) from IDR 100 million in 2023 to IDR 93 million in 2024. The decline in PADes is an important indicator that reflects possible inefficiencies or weaknesses in aspects of governance, particularly accountability. This paper aims to capture an evaluation of the accountability of the use of APBDes in Bandung Village, Banjar Sub-district, Pandeglang Regency in managing its budget. With a focus on its impact on the effectiveness of community empowerment. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research was conducted in Bandung Village, Banjar Sub-district, Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. Data was collected through interviews, observations, literature studies, and documentation using Policy Evaluation theory and Accountability theory. The results showed that from the analysis using evaluation theory, there were indicators that had not been met, namely adequacy and equity due to limited resources, namely funds provided by the central government. However, the analysis using accountability theory has fulfilled all indicators due to the strong commitment of the village government to advance the village. This accountability can be seen through reports on each program outcome and evidence of content uploaded on social media such as TikTok and Instagram.

The modulation of the structures and electronic properties of transition metal complexes by multi-ligands coordination has been widely exploited to enhance the catalytic efficiency in organic transformations. Here, we present synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pd(II) complexes of multidentate ligands- EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline and N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The Pd-NHC complex displayed the high catalytic activity for hydrogenation as well as small-molecule activation, up to 450 h⁻¹ of turnover frequency (TOF) and total conversion of styrene to ethylbenzene at room temperature, and is higher efficient than Cu-EDTA (TOF =120 h⁻¹), Ni-Phen (TOF= 85 h⁻¹). The DFT calculation with Pd-NHC system showed that the small HOMO-LUMO gap (3.2 eV) and the short Pd–C bond (1.95 Å) of Pd-NHC, which could facilitate the transfer of the growth species, contributed to the low energy of activation (28 kJ/mol). Mathematical model also discussed its high catalytic activity (TOF/Ea = 16.07 h⁻¹·kJ⁻¹·mol) due to the strong σ-donor ligands and proper geometry. These findings underscore the influence of ligand architecture to secure transition states and modulate electron density in designing efficient sustainable catalysis that is industrially relevant.

Conservation efforts remain fragmented and lack integration into broader development planning. The study recommends the implementation of sustainable spatial planning policies, stricter environmental regulations, and active community involvement. Collaborative governance between local authorities, private investors, and environmental stakeholders is essential to ensure that economic development aligns with ecological preservation. Striking a balance between investment and conservation is key to maintaining Perintis Lake as a resilient ecotourism destination for future generations.

Land degradation due to intensive agricultural practices is a serious issue threatening food security and ecosystem balance. Monoculture farming systems often lead to soil fertility decline, increased erosion, and reduced soil biodiversity. As an alternative, agroforestry has been developed to enhance agricultural productivity without compromising soil health. Agroforestry integrates agricultural crops with trees or other woody plants in a mutually beneficial system. Several studies have shown that agroforestry improves soil organic matter content, retains soil moisture, and reduces erosion and nutrient loss. This study employs a literature review method to analyze the effectiveness of agroforestry in improving soil health and agricultural productivity. Agroforestry has been found to enhance agricultural productivity through crop diversification, efficient land use, and climate change mitigation. Diversification not only strengthens food security but also increases farmers’ income by minimizing crop failure risks and enhancing nutritional value. Additionally, agroforestry optimizes land use by improving yield per unit area and reducing environmental degradation through natural resource conservation. Agroforestry also plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by increasing ecosystem resilience, sequestering carbon, and reducing extreme weather impacts. However, the adoption of agroforestry faces challenges, including a lack of farmers’ knowledge, limited policy support, and varying environmental conditions. Addressing these barriers through improved education, supportive policies, and sustainable resource management can accelerate agroforestry adoption. With broader implementation and strong policy support, agroforestry can drive agricultural sustainability and enhance community well-being.

This study aims to review the impacts of various types of mining activities such as sand, coal, and gold. Common environmental damages include deforestation, soil erosion, water, soil, and air pollution, and decreased biodiversity. Socio-economically, mining increases social conflict, health problems, and changes in people's livelihoods. Effective management efforts include law enforcement against illegal activities, implementation of reclamation and rehabilitation, application of impact mitigation technology, and active involvement of local communities in environmental management. Consistent implementation of policies and mitigation measures is key to achieving a balance between economic benefits and environmental sustainability.

The digital transformation in Indonesia's land sector is marked by the implementation of electronic land certificates as regulated under Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency Regulation No. 1 of 2021. This policy aims to enhance efficiency and legal certainty in land administration. However, its implementation raises questions regarding the legal strength of electronic certificates and the protection of third parties, particularly good faith purchasers. This study uses a normative juridical approach to analyze the legal standing of electronic land certificates and the legal protection mechanisms for third parties in land transactions. The findings show that although electronic certificates hold the same legal force as physical certificates, there are still challenges related to data integration and legal safeguards for third parties. Strengthening regulations and the role of notaries/land deed officials (PPAT) is necessary to ensure the validity and legitimacy of electronic certificates and to achieve optimal legal certainty.

This study examines the relationship between the hadith of H.R. Tirmidzi No. 1232 concerning the prohibition of selling goods that are not yet owned with Article 4 Paragraph (1) of Law No. 21/2008 concerning the intermediary function of Islamic banking in Indonesia. With a descriptive-analytical approach with a juridical-normative method, this study reveals significant gaps in the implementation of regulations. While the hadith provides theological guidelines that require actual ownership before the contract, the fragmented regulatory framework results in inconsistent interpretations by the Sharia Supervisory Board in various institutions. Analysis of SINTA indexed journals shows that many Islamic banking products still contain elements of gharar (uncertainty), especially in murabahah contracts with installment payments. This study identifies three main issues: the limited explicit regulation in the DSN-MUI fatwa regarding hybrid contracts, structural challenges in Indonesia's decentralized regulatory approach compared to Malaysia's centralized model, and the gap between theoretical discourse and practical implementation. To strengthen the synergy between religious principles and regulatory mandates, this study recommends harmonization of the regulatory framework, implementation of intensive training for supervisory boards on the contextual background of related hadiths, and development of integrated compliance audits to assess product consistency with hadith guidance and legal requirements.

This study aims to find out more specifically about the goals and functions of philosophy in the development of science. This study uses a qualitative approach to the SLR (systematic literature review) method. Literature sources are taken from the Google Scholar database of journals and books. The results of this study are the philosophy of science as an explanation of the existence of science against other sciences that require knowledge as a medium for scientific thinking. Philosophy aims to encourage scientists to study scientific developments. The philosophy of science must be integrated with the development of science in order to realize the function of science, especially moral and intellectual aspects. This is because science is independent or neutral and does not mean good or bad, the development of science also develops the philosophy of science, because the philosophy of science has a role as a manifestation of good scientific ethics. The philosophy of science is very crucial in elaborating on educational values ​​in general and specifically in education, both ontologically, epistemologically, axiologically and anthropologically.
