This research leads to exploring the effectiveness of active learning strategies in improving students' critical thinking skills in the modern era. By utilizing a qualitative approach and field study methods, the research was conducted at SMP IT Mutiara Ilmu Sokaraja. Data was collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of principals, teachers, and 8th grade students. The results of the study prove that active learning strategies, such as group discussions, questions and answers, and project-based learning, significantly improve students' critical thinking skills. Students are honed to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems independently, so they are better prepared to face the challenges of the 21st century. In addition, the study reveals the important role of technology as a support for active learning, although its use is still limited to simple devices such as laptops and projectors. The obstacles found include limited technology facilities, learning time, and diverse levels of student readiness. These findings support Neil Smelser's concept of social adaptation, where active learning reflects an adaptive response to modernizing changes in education. The conclusion of this study is that active learning strategies are effective in building students' critical thinking skills, but require support in the form of adequate technological facilities and intensive training for teachers. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of investment in educational technology and teacher capacity building to optimize the implementation of active learning in various educational contexts.

Normal Weight Obesity (NWO) is a condition in which an individual has a normal weight but a high body fat percentage, increasing the risk of metabolic diseases. Early detection through body composition assessments is essential to prevent health complications in individuals with normal weight but imbalanced body composition. Activities include health education, body composition assessments, and the implementation of preventive measures through healthy lifestyle changes. Assessment results indicate that some individuals have a high body fat proportion despite having a normal weight range. The education provided enhances participants' understanding of NWO risks and the importance of balanced body composition to maintain metabolic health. Body composition assessments in the productive age group enable early detection of body component imbalances not visible through weight alone. Preventive measures such as balanced nutrition and regular physical activity play a significant role in maintaining a healthy body composition and reducing the risk of NWO. Body composition assessment is an effective preventive strategy to detect NWO and promote a healthy lifestyle in the productive age group.

Mura'ah an-Nadzir is a concept in badi' science which refers to the technique of combining harmonious and appropriate meanings in one expression without containing conflict. This technique plays an important role in creating rhetorical beauty and strengthening the delivery of the message. Through examples from the Qur'an, such as the combination of Allah's attributes in the sentence " وَهوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ", it is explained how harmony between meanings can add depth and meaning to the message conveyed. Mura'ah an-Nadzir also has an aesthetic function, facilitating understanding, and emphasizing meaning in an educational context. In addition, this technique strengthens the moral message and evokes emotional interaction in the reader, making it an effective tool in spiritual communication.

The main goal of this research is to examine how interest in investing in the Sharia market is influenced by Islamic financial knowledge. A thorough grasp of financial concepts that adhere to Islamic law, such as riba, zakat, and the idea of fairness in financial transactions, is necessary for Islamic financial literacy. Islamic financial literacy may have a significant role in investing choices, as shown by the rising knowledge of halal and Sharia-compliant assets. 200 respondents—both current and potential investors in the Sharia capital market—were given questionnaires as part of this study's quantitative methodology. Higher interest in investing in Sharia capital market products like sukuk and Sharia mutual funds is positively correlated with higher levels of Islamic financial literacy, according to the study's findings. These results underline the need of more comprehensive Islamic financial education initiatives to raise public awareness and aid in the growth of Indonesia's Sharia capital market. In order to stimulate investment interest, it is also determined that improvements in Sharia investment products and supporting regulations are essential. Thus, this research comes to the conclusion that promoting a more inclusive Islamic economy and developing the Sharia capital market may both be greatly aided by increasing Islamic financial literacy. This study shows that interest in investing in the Sharia capital market is strongly influenced by Islamic financial knowledge. Sharia-compliant investment products like sukuk (Islamic bonds) and Sharia mutual funds are more likely to be chosen by investors who have a firm grasp of Islamic financial concepts like riba (usury), zakat (almsgiving), and profit-sharing. The research emphasizes the value of thorough financial education initiatives and easily available information in raising public awareness of Islamic finance. It is anticipated that these initiatives would boost more inclusive and sustainable economic development in Indonesia and raise participation in the Sharia capital market.

We as humans often skip our cell phones and use them for too long as they are always around us and a part of our lives. Excessive and improper use of cell phones, however, can cause various negative impacts, one of which is a decline in health. Cell phones emit radio frequencies when in use, which produces excessive radiation that can cause many side effects, such as disrupting sleep patterns and sleep quality. This study aims to determine how cell phone radiation affects the human body when falling asleep. This research was conducted using a qualitative method, using a descriptive approach and analyzing previous literature. The results showed that exposure to electromagnetic radiation from cell phones can affect a person's sleep quality, especially for those who use them too often. The level of influence is different for each person, but this radiation is not strong enough to cause serious effects like X-rays because it is not ionized. Nevertheless, it can cause sleep problems and headaches. It is recommended to keep a safe distance from cell phones while sleeping and limit cell phone use before bedtime to reduce the risk.
