Communication is a fundamental element in the development of entrepreneurship, particularly within edupreneurship, which integrates educational innovation with entrepreneurial values to address contemporary challenges in education. In an increasingly competitive and digitally driven educational landscape, edupreneurs are required not only to possess pedagogical competence but also strong communication skills to sustain and scale their initiatives. This study aims to analyze the role of effective communication in strengthening edupreneurship competencies. The research employs a literature review method by synthesizing and analyzing relevant theories and previous studies on communication, entrepreneurship, and edupreneurship. The findings indicate that effective communication plays a significant role in enhancing key edupreneurship competencies, including negotiation skills, leadership capacity, personal branding, and adaptability to digital transformation. Communication also functions as a strategic tool for building trust, expanding professional networks, fostering collaboration, and creating supportive learning ecosystems within educational enterprises. Moreover, effective communication enables edupreneurs to articulate value propositions clearly, manage stakeholders efficiently, and respond flexibly to dynamic changes in educational markets. The implications of this study emphasize that communication competence is not a complementary skill but a core requirement for sustainable edupreneurship development. Therefore, systematic communication training and the integration of communication-based learning strategies are strongly recommended within entrepreneurship education programs, particularly for prospective edupreneurs, to support long-term innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability in the education sector.

The purpose of this study is to analyze digital transformation in notary services, namely the validity of electronic deeds and the responsibilities of notaries in the era of e-government. This study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative and conceptual approach based on an analysis of relevant regulations, scientific literature, and other legal sources. Data was obtained through literature study and analyzed qualitatively and descriptively to assess the legal certainty and responsibility of notaries in preparing electronic deeds in the era of digital transformation in notarial practice. The results show that digital transformation in the notary field is an impact of information technology developments and e-government policies that change the notary's work processes, including administration, deed preparation, identity verification, and document storage. However, digitization must still comply with the principles of authenticity, legality, data security, and legal certainty in accordance with the characteristics of the notary's position as a public official. This study also found that the implementation of cyber notary in Indonesia still faces normative, technical, and ethical obstacles, such as the absence of comprehensive regulations, limited digital infrastructure, and the risk of identity abuse. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, capacity building for notaries, technology standardization, and effective supervision are needed so that the digitization of notary services can be implemented safely while maintaining the integrity of the profession.

This research examines law enforcement against immigration violations and the factors influencing the effectiveness of border crossing inspection at the Immigration Checkpoint (TPI) of Tanjung Perak, Surabaya. Immigration inspection plays a vital role in safeguarding national sovereignty and monitoring cross-border human movement. Using a normative juridical approach with statutory and conceptual approaches, the findings demonstrate that enforcement procedures include document verification, identification of violations, administrative actions, and deportation in accordance with Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration. Common violations found include misuse of stay permits, travel document forgery, unauthorized border crossers, and illegal activities by foreign nationals beyond visa provisions. However, implementation still faces challenges such as limited human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and weak inter-agency coordination. Several factors affect the effectiveness of inspections, including personnel quality, technological support, legal frameworks, infrastructure capacity, traveler volume, inter-agency cooperation, political and international relations factors, socio-cultural dynamics, financial and logistical support, as well as internal supervision and accountability systems. The research concludes that institutional capacity building, policy integration, regulatory harmonization, and strengthened internal supervision are essential to ensure optimal immigration control at TPI Tanjung Perak in facing global challenges.

Phishing constitutes a form of cybercrime that continues to proliferate alongside the rapid advancement of information technology, causing significant impacts on data security and financial losses. This study aims to analyse the forms of criminal liability applicable to phishing perpetrators under Indonesian criminal law and to identify the challenges and solutions in its enforcement. The research employs a normative juridical approach utilising literature review methodology. The findings demonstrate that criminal liability for phishing perpetrators can be established through provisions in the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) as amended by Law Number 1 of 2024, the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP), and related regulations. However, law enforcement faces numerous obstacles, including inadequate specific legal regulations, limited digital forensic technology, low public legal literacy, and cross-border jurisdictional barriers. In judicial proceedings, evidentiary processes are frequently hindered by the complexity of electronic evidence and the limited technical understanding among law enforcement officers. This study recommends regulatory reform, capacity building for human resources, international cooperation, and public education to strengthen the effectiveness of law enforcement against phishing crimes.

This study examines and critically analyzes speaking tasks in Netzwerk Neu A1.1 (Chapters 1–6) by evaluating their alignment with principles of German as a Foreign Language (DaF), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Using qualitative content analysis, 26 speaking tasks were identified, coded, and categorized based on task type, CEFR communicative activity (spoken interaction or spoken production), interaction mode, and levels of learner output. The findings show that template-based tasks dominate the textbook, accounting for 69.2% of activities, while guided and free production tasks are relatively limited. Spoken interaction is the most prevalent communicative activity (76.9%), reflecting an emphasis on dialogic formats such as short exchanges and role plays. Although this design provides appropriate structural support for beginner learners, the limited use of open-ended and autonomous tasks may restrict the development of fluency, communicative flexibility, and strategic competence. Interviews with seven learners and two instructors reveal that while tasks are generally perceived as accessible and confidence-building, they are also considered repetitive and insufficiently authentic. The study underscores the need to balance structured support with opportunities for spontaneous language use in beginner DaF textbooks.

The use of laminated bamboo columns as alternative building materials has attracted increasing attention, particularly as a substitute for wood in construction. Bamboo lamination techniques enable the production of structural materials with tailored mechanical properties. Numerous previous studies have investigated the compressive strength of laminated bamboo short columns subjected to various treatments. This study aims to evaluate the compressive strength and failure patterns of laminated bamboo short columns under compression loading. The experimental program included physical and mechanical characterization of bamboo, followed by compression testing of laminated bamboo short columns with dimensions of 10 cm × 10 cm × 30 cm. Three treatment variations were examined: untreated laminated columns, epoxy resin–coated columns, and steel plate–reinforced columns. The results indicate that untreated laminated bamboo columns exhibited an average compressive strength of 28.044 MPa, with cracking concentrated at the top of the column. Epoxy resin–coated laminated bamboo columns achieved an average compressive strength of 28.774 MPa, showing crack formation distributed across several regions of the column. Steel plate–reinforced columns demonstrated the highest average compressive strength of 31.138 MPa, with failure localized in the region between the steel plates. These findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of different treatment methods in enhancing the compressive performance and failure characteristics of laminated bamboo columns.

This study examines the intellectual footprint of Nusantara scholars in the tradition of Qur'anic interpretation from classical to contemporary times. This study is motivated by the importance of understanding the role and contribution of Nusantara scholars in building a distinctive and contextual style of interpretation with local culture. The purpose of this study is to trace the development of methods, styles, and approaches to interpretation used by scholars from time to time. The method used is qualitative with a literature study approach through analysis of exegetical works such as Tarjuman al-Mustafid by Abdur Rauf as-Singkili, Tafsir Al-Munir by Nawawi al-Bantani, Tafsir Al-Furqon by Al-Hasan, Tafsir Al-Qur'an Karim by Prof. Dr. H. Mahmud Yunus, Tafsir Al-Azhar by Hamka, to Tafsir al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab. The research results show that during the classical period, interpretation focused on spirituality and spirituality, while in the modern and contemporary eras, interpretations have developed that emphasize the maqasid al-shari'ah (purpose of law). They focus not only on literal meaning but also on universal wisdom and objectives. This development reflects the continuity between the global Islamic scholarly tradition and the local socio-cultural realities of the Indonesian archipelago. Interpretations of the Quran by Indonesian scholars not only enrich the global Islamic heritage but also demonstrate that Islam is capable of dialogue with cultural and contemporary contexts without losing its universal values.

This study aims to analyze in depth the moral values ​​contained in Surah Luqman verses 14–15 based on M. Quraish Shihab's Tafsir Al-Mishbah and their relevance in shaping the character of adolescents in the modern era. The research method used is library research with the tafsir munasabah approach, namely examining the relationship between the meanings of verses contextually and thematically. The main data source comes from Tafsir Al-Mishbah, supported by relevant tafsir literature and character education studies. The results of the study show that in Tafsir Al-Mishbah, Surah Luqman verses 14–15 contain six main moral values, namely birrul wâlidayn (devotion to parents), an attitude of gratitude to Allah and both parents, proportional obedience and not violating the principle of monotheism, gentleness and ethics in responding to differences, orientation to the afterlife, and exemplary behavior. These values ​​have strong relevance to efforts to shape the character of adolescents, especially in facing moral challenges in the digital era. The implementation of this teaching is considered strategic as a fundamental solution to overcome various youth problems, such as cyberbullying, ethical crises, and moral decadence, by instilling religious attitudes, empathy, and social responsibility.

This study explores the role of the Holy Spirit as the main actor in spreading the gospel according to the Book of Acts and its relevance to the church's current mission strategy. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach with literature review, this study examines biblical texts and theological literature that emphasize that since the events of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit has been the main initiator of the church's mission movement. In Luke's narrative, the Holy Spirit not only empowers the disciples to witness, but also leads the direction of ministry, selects and sends missionaries, opens and closes mission paths, and affirms the inclusiveness of the gospel for non-Jewish nations. The Holy Spirit acts as a catalyst that transforms a weak community of disciples into a church that boldly proclaims the gospel, as seen in Peter's sermon and the rapid growth of the congregation. In addition, the Holy Spirit preserves the purity of the church, unites the congregation, and gives spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ. The results of this study confirm that the success of the early church's mission did not depend on human strategies, but on obedience to the Holy Spirit's leadership. The implication for the church today is the need to depend on the work of the Holy Spirit in evangelism, fellowship, and the development of the congregation's gifts, so that the church is able to respond to the challenges of the times with divine power and wisdom.

This study traces the historical and intellectual processes that enabled Plato's ideas to enter the tradition of Islamic philosophy and subsequently influence Islamic boarding school education in Indonesia. Starting from the increasing openness of Islamic boarding schools to classical humanities, this study aims to understand how Plato's ideas were transferred from the context of Ancient Greece, reinterpreted by Muslim philosophers, and integrated into traditional learning practices. Using a library-based qualitative approach with hermeneutic, historical-intellectual, and thematic methods, this study analyzes the transmission pathways that include the Abbasid translation movement, the interpretive contributions of figures such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, and Ibn Sina, and the absorption of concepts through literature on ethics, logic, and adab. The findings show that Islamic boarding schools did not inherit Plato's ideas directly, but rather through the Islamic philosophical tradition that reshaped Platonic elements to fit the Islamic intellectual framework. Concepts related to spiritual education, character building, and ethical rationality are in line with the orientation of tazkiyah al-nafs, which is the foundation of Islamic boarding school pedagogy. This study confirms that the relationship between Plato's ideas and Islamic education emerged through a long creative process, not merely a transfer of texts. Practically, these findings highlight opportunities to develop a more reflective, critical, and virtue-centered pesantren curriculum, while encouraging further ethnographic research to explore how the classical philosophical heritage is reinterpreted in contemporary santri learning practices.

Pancasila, as the foundation of the state and the nation's philosophy of life, plays a crucial role in building the character of the younger generation, including students as agents of change. This study aims to analyze how the application of Pancasila values ​​is manifested in student behavior on campus. The method used is library research, examining various journal articles, books, and academic references related to student behavior and the practice of Pancasila values. The research findings reveal that students generally have a good understanding of Pancasila values. Values ​​such as respect, mutual assistance, equality, religiousness, and unity are recognized and accepted as guidelines for behavior on campus. However, the level of implementation is still not optimal and tends to vary between universities. Therefore, universities need to make continuous efforts to instill Pancasila values ​​through academic and non-academic activities that can strengthen students' understanding of Pancasila and strengthen its application in campus life to be more optimal and equitable.

A descriptive qualitative method was applied with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies conducted over three months. The results show that the home visit programme, conducted regularly every three months, has succeeded in building effective collaboration between educators and parents in supporting student learning. Home visits not only strengthen the emotional bond between the school and families, but also enable teachers to understand the learning conditions of students directly in their home environment. This programme has had a significant impact on improving student motivation, attendance, and discipline. Despite facing obstacles such as scheduling difficulties and ethical challenges for female teachers in visiting the homes of male parents, the personalised approach applied in this programme proved to be capable of creating a more inclusive and sustainable educational environment. The home visit programme has become an effective mentoring model for improving the holistic academic and character development of students based on Islamic values.

The rapid development of digital technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has significantly influenced educational practices, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). A major issue lies in how AI can be implemented effectively without undermining the spiritual, moral, and character-building values that are central to Islamic education. This study aims to examine the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Religious Education learning in the era of school digitalization, focusing on its concepts, forms of application, teachers’ roles, benefits, as well as challenges and ethical considerations. This research employs a qualitative library research method. Data were collected from reputable academic journals, scholarly books, proceedings, and relevant official documents, and analyzed using content analysis techniques through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that AI has substantial potential to enhance PAI learning through personalized learning systems, adaptive learning media, and data-driven assessments. However, its implementation requires strong teacher supervision, adequate digital literacy, and alignment with Islamic values to prevent the marginalization of teachers’ moral and spiritual roles. In conclusion, Artificial Intelligence serves as a supportive tool in Islamic Religious Education and must be applied wisely, ethically, and in accordance with the fundamental objectives of Islamic education.

This research aims to explore the function of the church in improving the understanding of the congregational environment through an eco-ecclesiology perspective. Eco-ecclesiology places the church as an integral part of God's creation that has a spiritual responsibility to protect, protect, and care for the environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation from church ministers and congregation members. The results of the study show that the church has contributed to building concern for the environment through preaching, education, and social activities related to nature conservation. However, this role is not fully optimal because there is still limited awareness among the congregation and there is no structured and sustainable environmental program. These findings affirm the need for churches to integrate eco-ecclesiological principles more systematically into the ministry and daily life of the church. Thus, the church functions not only as a spiritual center, but also as an agent of social transformation that encourages the creation of ecological awareness and concrete actions in preserving the environment.
