The acceptance of family witnesses in divorce cases resulting from violations of taklik talak remains a subject of legal debate within the Indonesian Religious Courts. This debate arises from the normative tension between Article 145 of the Het Herziene Indonesisch Reglement (HIR), which restricts testimony from family members, and the need to uncover material truth in private domestic disputes, particularly in default judgments where the defendant fails to appear before the court. This study aims to analyze the legal basis underlying judges’ considerations in accepting family witnesses in divorce cases caused by violations of taklik talak, using Decision Number 32/Pdt.G/2017/PA.Pkl as a case study. The research employs a normative juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through library research and document analysis of relevant court decisions. The analysis links legal facts with procedural law in religious courts, the theory of rechtsvinding, and the concept of substantive justice. The findings indicate that the acceptance of family witnesses can be legally justified based on Article 76 of Law Number 7 of 1989 concerning Religious Courts as a lex specialis provision, the judges’ authority to conduct legal discovery under Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power, and principles of ushul fiqh and fiqhiyyah that support the realization of substantive justice. This study offers a reconstruction of the juridical legitimacy of family witness acceptance through the integration of positive law and Islamic law to strengthen legal certainty in religious court practices.

This study aims to examine how nepotism can manifest through the role of informal institutions and its influence on administrative integrity within the bureaucracy. The method used is literature analysis by examining various related scientific references, such as books, journal articles, and research, which are then analyzed descriptively and analytically through identification, classification, and data integration. The research findings indicate that nepotism does not only arise from weaknesses in the official system, but is also strongly influenced by the existence of informal institutions such as personal networks, social norms, and organizational culture. This practice tends to persist within a system because it gains social recognition, making it difficult to overcome solely with regulations. The consequences include a decline in employee professionalism, weak accountability, and erosion of administrative integrity, which impacts on reduced public trust in government institutions. The implications of this study indicate that a comprehensive approach is crucial in bureaucratic reform, through strengthening the official system and changing organizational cultural values ​​to produce transparent, accountable, and dignified government management.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) increasingly rely on e-commerce applications to enhance business performance and broaden market access. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of such applications is strongly determined by their usability, which reflects how easily users can interact with the system. This study aims to evaluate the usability of an MSME e-commerce application using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method. A quantitative descriptive approach was applied by distributing SUS questionnaires to 30 respondents who had previously used the application. The instrument consisted of 10 standard SUS statements measured using a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed by calculating individual SUS scores and determining the overall average score. Based on the randomized respondent data, the application achieved an average SUS score of 80,25. This score is categorized as Excellent and acceptable. These findings indicate that the MSME e-commerce application has a very good usability level and is well accepted by users. Therefore, the application has strong potential to support MSME digitalization and improve online transaction effectiveness.

This study aims to clarify the conceptual differences between measurement, assessment, and evaluation; present a comparative analysis of their characteristics; formulate concrete application examples across four Arabic language skills (istima', kalam, qira'ah, and kitabah) in madrasah; and analyze evaluation principles in creating an objective and fair assessment system. The study employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach through content analysis of relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that measurement, assessment, and evaluation form a hierarchical and mutually reinforcing relationship, yet they differ in scope, function, and purpose. Measurement focuses on quantifying learning outcomes, assessment interprets those results, and evaluation provides overall judgment for decision-making. The current imbalance in Arabic language evaluation at madrasah, which often emphasizes cognitive measurement alone, can be improved through comprehensive assessment of all four language skills. This should be grounded in principles of validity, reliability, objectivity, practicality, and positive washback to ensure a fair, meaningful, and educationally sound evaluation system.  

This study examines the interpretation of the Qur’anic verse mentioning the lion in QS. Al-Muddathir [74]: 51 through the approach of tafsir ilmi (scientific exegesis). The aim of this research is to analyze the theological meaning of the term qaswarah, explore the interpretations of classical and contemporary exegetes, and relate them to the perspective of animal science as well as the underlying wisdom. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, using primary sources from Qur’anic verses and classical tafsir works, and secondary sources from books, journal articles, and relevant scientific literature. The results show that the term qaswarah in QS. Al-Muddathir [74]: 51 has various interpretations, such as lion, hunter, or something frightening. However, most exegetes tend to interpret it as a lion due to its relevance to the context of the parable in the verse. The parable illustrates people who turn away from the truth like wild donkeys fleeing in fear from a predator. From the perspective of tafsir ilmi, this depiction aligns with scientific facts that identify the lion as an apex predator capable of triggering a fight-or-flight response in prey animals. Furthermore, the mention of the lion in the Qur’an is not merely descriptive but also contains theological, ecological, moral, and psychological values. The lion serves as a symbol to describe irrational human behavior in rejecting the truth. Thus, tafsir ilmi demonstrates a harmonious relationship between revelation and science, where natural phenomena are used as a medium to convey profound moral and spiritual messages.

This study aims to examine how student interns perceive the performance of tax services at the Mojokerto Tax Office (KPP). This study employs a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. Data were collected through interviews with interns assigned to the service division, specifically at the Integrated Service Center (TPT). The interview results indicate that the tax service framework at the Mojokerto Primary Tax Office is viewed positively, is well-organized, and is beginning to evolve toward a modern and digital service approach through CORETAX technology. The shift toward digital services is believed to improve efficiency, streamline the process of obtaining a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP), simplify annual tax reporting, and enhance access to additional tax services. Additionally, the quality of service provided by staff was rated as friendly, professional, interactive, and supportive in helping taxpayers understand the service process. Nevertheless, several challenges were noted, including a lack of general awareness among taxpayers regarding digital platforms particularly among older taxpayers increased wait times during the annual tax filing season, and occasional system disruptions that affected service delivery. Based on interview findings, the tax service framework at the Mojokerto Pratama Tax Office is considered fairly efficient, although there is still room for improvement in promoting the adoption of digital services, enhancing service facilities, and creating a more user-friendly system.

Flooding is one of the most frequent disasters in DKI Jakarta and contributes not only to physical and economic losses but also to the emergence of various psychological problems among affected communities. This study aims to analyze the psychological impacts of post-flood disasters, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly, and to examine the effects of repeated flood exposure on mental health conditions. This study employs a literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the identification and synthesis of relevant scientific sources. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis to identify patterns, relationships, and trends in research findings. The results indicate that flooding is associated with psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with varying levels of severity. Repeated exposure to flooding has been shown to increase individuals’ vulnerability to mental health problems and reduce psychological well-being. However, protective factors such as social support, religiosity, emotional regulation abilities, and adaptive coping strategies play a significant role in strengthening resilience and accelerating psychological recovery. The findings highlight the importance of a holistic disaster management approach that integrates mental health services, strengthens community capacity, and enhances preparedness education to improve the psychological resilience of flood-affected communities.

Madrasas as formal Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia have undergone a long evolution from traditional systems to modern institutions that are integrated into the national education system. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic education management in the development of madrasah history using a literature research method with an analytical descriptive approach. The results of the study show that the development of madrassas takes place through several historical phases that are mutually sustainable. In the early 20th century, madrassas emerged in response to the limitations of the traditional pesantren system. In the pre-independence period, the discriminatory policies of the Dutch colonial encouraged the birth of modern madrassas that combined religious and general sciences. Post-independence, the establishment of the Ministry of Religion in 1946 strengthened the position of madrassas in the national education system. During the Old Order period, the number of madrassas increased rapidly even though the management was still community-based. Entering the New Order, the Decree of 3 Ministers of 1975 and Law Number 2 of 1989 encouraged the formal integration of madrasas, although they tended to be centralistic. The Reform Era through Law Number 20 of 2003 provided equal recognition to public schools and encouraged decentralization based on School-Based Management. Although the quantitative and legal development of madrasas is significant, the challenges of quality, funding, and relevance in the era of globalization remain a concern so that madrasas are able to produce graduates who excel intellectually and are solid in Islamic values.

The concrete block business is one of the micro-enterprises that develops in Wairotang Village and plays an important role in fulfilling the community’s need for building materials. However, in its development, sales fluctuate from year to year, which is assumed to be influenced by the level of consumer trust and the quality of the products produced. In addition, several problems still occur, such as concrete blocks that crack easily, inconsistent sizes, and varying levels of strength, leading consumers to hesitate in making repeat purchases. This study aimed to determine the influence of consumer trust and product quality on purchasing decisions of concrete blocks in Wairotang Village. The independent variables in this study were consumer trust and product quality, while the dependent variable was purchasing decision. This study was motivated by fluctuations in concrete block sales and the persistence of consumer doubts regarding product quality, including easily cracked blocks, inconsistent sizes, and varying strength levels. These conditions resulted in suboptimal consumer trust, which in turn affected purchasing decisions. This study used a quantitative research method. The population consisted of consumers of concrete blocks in Wairotang Village, and the sampling technique was purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination ($\text{R}^2$). The results were expected to show that consumer trust and product quality have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions of concrete blocks in Wairotang Village, both partially and simultaneously. A higher level of consumer trust and better product quality lead to increased purchasing decisions. Therefore, concrete block business actors will need to maintain product quality and build good relationships with consumers in order to improve purchasing decisions and ensure business sustainability.

The participants involved were students from an Islamic boarding school environment. The findings reveal that digital media platforms, particularly podcasts and YouTube, play an important role in enhancing students’ digital literacy, especially in accessing, assessing, and critically interpreting religious materials. Furthermore, combining religious learning with digital technology increases students’ enthusiasm, involvement, and participation during the learning process. These media platforms also motivate students to become more independent and proactive in deepening their understanding of Islamic studies. Overall, digital media can function as an effective medium for supporting religious education as well as strengthening digital literacy skills. Therefore, educators are encouraged to assist students in identifying trustworthy, authentic, and reliable information sources in order to prevent misinformation and create more meaningful learning experiences.

Technological developments and globalization have brought changes to the mindsets and behaviors of the younger generation, including a declining interest in history learning and low historical awareness. Islamic Cultural History (ISH) plays a crucial role in shaping historical awareness because it encompasses values ​​of faith, scholarship, tolerance, leadership, and morals relevant to modern life. This study aims to analyze the role of ISH learning in shaping the historical awareness of the younger generation, explain its importance in understanding Islamic historical values, and examine the effective implementation of ISH learning in the modern era. This study used a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data were obtained from books, scientific journals, articles, and various other sources relevant to the research theme. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through a process of collection, reduction, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that ISH learning plays a significant role in building the historical awareness of the younger generation by instilling Islamic character values ​​and identity. Historical awareness helps students understand the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future, enabling them to draw lessons from historical events. Implementation of Islamic Education (SKI) learning can be carried out through a contextual approach, active learning methods, the use of digital technology, role models, and experiential learning. Thus, SKI serves not only as a means of transferring knowledge but also as a medium for character and identity formation for the younger generation in the era of globalization.

This study examines the implementation of speech therapy for children with speech delay at PSAA Balita Tunas Bangsa, an orphanage setting where children experience limited parental stimulation and various psychosocial challenges.

The results indicate that the integration of therapy with daily caregiver support significantly contributes to the child's language progress. These findings highlight the importance of consistent stimulation, collaborative care, and structured therapeutic programs in improving expressive language skills in institutionalized children with speech delay.

Coffee consumption among university students has increased and has become an integral part of both academic and social activities. The caffeine content in coffee is believed to improve concentration, maintain mood, and reduce drowsiness. However, repeated coffee consumption may also lead to negative effects, including mild psychological dependence in some individuals. This study aimed to explore coffee consumption and the potential for dependence among students of the Faculty of Public Health, UIN Sumatera Utara. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The participants consisted of 30 active students who regularly consumed coffee and were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview guidelines and analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that coffee consumption among students was influenced by academic demands, late-night study habits, psychological factors, social environments, and hanging-out culture. Students consumed coffee to improve concentration, maintain mood, reduce sleepiness, and support the completion of academic tasks. In addition, some students considered coffee an important part of their lifestyle and social interactions. The study also identified the potential for mild psychological dependence, characterized by decreased concentration, increased drowsiness, and reduced enthusiasm when coffee was not consumed. These findings indicate the importance of providing education regarding safe and healthy caffeine consumption among university students to prevent adverse effects associated with excessive coffee intake.

This study aims to describe the intrinsic structure and analyze the psychological aspects of the main characters in the three short stories based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data sources are texts from three satua cutet in the Nimbang Rasa anthology: I Kucil by I Komang Tri Nanda Defhayana, Idup Lara by Ni Wayan Esa Juliantini, and Pajalan Keneh by Ni Putu Ayu Ari Astiti. Results show that the intrinsic structure of all three stories employs a linear plot, with themes of diligence, perseverance, and courage. Psychological analysis based on Freud's id, ego, and superego theory reveals that I Kucil is dominated by id impulses in the form of aggressive emotion due to injustice; Ani demonstrates a strong ego in withstanding social pressure and a firm superego in upholding moral values; while Gékyu shows a balance between ego and superego when facing abuse from a teacher. This research is expected to serve as a reference in Balinese literary studies, particularly in the field of literary psychology.

This study examines the legal protection of children's rights to inclusive education and its implications for the institutional governance of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia. A normative juridical method with a descriptive-qualitative library-based approach is used to evaluate the coherence between macro-level child protection regulations and operational standards for school management. The data are entirely secondary, sourced from statutory laws, ministerial regulations, and pertinent scientific literature. The findings reveal a fundamental tension: the constitutional rights of children with special needs to access non-discriminatory ECE are robustly guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 35/2014 on Child Protection, and Law No. 8/2016 on Persons with Disabilities, yet a wide gap persists at the implementation level. This discrepancy arises because derivative ECE governance instruments including accreditation frameworks and curriculum standards still frame inclusion readiness as a voluntary component rather than a binding obligation. Consequently, ECE institutions encounter systemic barriers in human resource management, physical accessibility, and curricular flexibility. The study underscores the urgency of transitioning ECE management toward a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) and recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education reform accreditation instruments by embedding inclusive indicators as mandatory prerequisites for institutional feasibility, thereby aligning administrative governance with the fulfillment of children's constitutional rights.

The rapid development of digital technology has encouraged schools to adapt counseling services to the needs of students in the modern era. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the transformation of guidance and counseling services toward the digital era through a digital counseling audit at SMP N 18 Medan. The study used a descriptive evaluative approach with mixed methods involving guidance counselors and students as research subjects. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation related to digital counseling services. The findings showed that digital counseling services had begun to be implemented through online communication media such as WhatsApp and digital learning materials. Both counselors and students responded positively to the implementation of digital counseling because it was considered more flexible and accessible. However, the audit results indicated that the school was still in the transition category because several aspects such as digital databases, online assessment systems, and integrated counseling platforms had not been fully developed. The study implies that schools need to strengthen digital infrastructure, improve counselor digital competence, and develop more integrated counseling systems to support student needs in the digital era.

Low student discipline, such as frequenttardiness, non-compliance with rules, and negligence in completing assignments,is an important topic that needs to be studied. This study aims to analyze the influence of parental attention and learning motivation onthe discipline of high school students. The research method usedis a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from various articles, journals, and previous studiesrelevant to the topic in the range of 2012–2025. The results of the studyshow that parental attention as an external factor, throughsupervision, guidance, and emotional support, has a positive andsignificant effect on the formation of student discipline. On the other hand, learning motivationas an internal factor, both intrinsic in the form of motivation to achieve andperseverance, as well as extrinsic in the form of rewards and environmental support,has been proven to encourage students to be orderly, consistent, and responsible intheir studies. These findings confirm that the synergy between parental attention andlearning motivation contributes greatly to shaping student discipline, whichultimately has a positive impact on improving academic achievement andcreating an orderly and conducive school climate.
