Contemporary hadith thought emerged as an attempt to address the challenges of modernity, which demands a more contextual understanding of Islamic teachings. Various new approaches, such as historical-critical, hermeneutics, and the maqasid al-shari'ah (the principles of Islamic jurisprudence), have been developed to connect hadith texts with modern social, political, and scientific realities. This article examines critiques and reflections on contemporary hadith thought through an interdisciplinary approach. The results show that although contemporary approaches make significant contributions to revitalizing the relevance of hadith, they have weaknesses such as potential relativism, deconstruction of hadith authority, and a disconnect with the classical tradition of hadith scholars. Interdisciplinary reflection offers a middle ground by integrating hadith studies with the social sciences, humanities, and sciences, allowing understanding of hadith to continue to develop without losing its normative authority. This article emphasizes the importance of dialogue between classical traditions and modern approaches in maintaining a balance between fidelity to the text and contextual needs. An interdisciplinary approach to hadith studies can bridge these gaps by fostering dialogue between traditional Islamic scholarship and modern academic fields such as social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. By combining these disciplines, scholars can explore how hadith texts can be interpreted in ways that are both faithful to their original meaning and responsive to contemporary challenges. This integration can help preserve the normative authority of hadith while addressing modern issues such as ethics, politics, and technology. Ultimately, the interdisciplinary approach provides a framework for reconciling the classical and modern understandings of hadith, ensuring that the teachings of Islam remain relevant and authoritative in today’s rapidly changing world.

This study investigates the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) based activities in supporting vocabulary retention, motivation, and engagement in foreign language learning. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test control group was employed, involving university students enrolled in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) courses. The experimental group engaged in AR-supported vocabulary learning, while the control group used conventional methods such as flashcards and text-based materials. Data were collected through vocabulary tests, motivation and engagement questionnaires, and classroom observations. The findings indicate that AR significantly enhanced vocabulary retention, with students in the experimental group outperforming those in the control group. AR also increased learners’ motivation by providing immersive and enjoyable learning experiences, and it fostered greater engagement as students actively interacted with digital media. These results support the integration of AR into language learning as an effective instructional approach that combines contextualization, interactivity, and gamification. The study contributes to the growing body of research on technology-enhanced learning and highlights the pedagogical potential of AR in modern language education.

Abstract. The advancement of broadcasting technology has driven the demand for reliable and efficient automation systems, particularly in managing the transition from broadcast content to advertisement segments. In this context, the present study proposes the application of the Single Tone Trigger (STT) method as an automatic triggering mechanism to systematically regulate content switching. This method utilizes a single-frequency audio signal embedded within the primary broadcast, which can be detected by the receiving system. The detection of this signal initiates an automatic content transition without requiring intervention from playout operators. A key advantage of this approach lies in its ease of integration with conventional broadcasting systems and its ability to reduce manual involvement that has traditionally been essential in broadcast content management. Through a series of tests, the system demonstrated high signal detection accuracy, low latency, and optimal operational reliability. These findings indicate that the Single Tone Trigger method can significantly enhance workflow efficiency within the broadcasting industry. Overall, this approach presents substantial potential for broad implementation as an automation solution that is not only stable and cost-effective, but also adaptive to the operational demands of modern broadcasting.   Keywords: Automatic Transition, Broadcast Automation, Single Tone Trigger (STT).

This community service program aims to increase the digital capacity and leadership of Indonesian Berkebaya Women (PBI) members through an approach that integrates traditional values with modern technology. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), with the subject of service as many as 13 members of the Banyumas branch of PBI. The activity was carried out in the form of an intensive workshop for three days at the Green Valley Hotel Baturraden, which included three main sessions: Digital Transformation Workshop, Leadership Development, and Content Creation Workshop. The results of the program showed significant achievements, where 80% of participants were able to actively master at least three social media platforms. In addition, 15 quality digital content was created that reflects the organization's cultural identity and values. The digital engagement rate increased from 15% to 50%, demonstrating the effectiveness of training strategies and active participation of participants. As an indicator of the program's sustainability, a Digital Task Force was formed and a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was prepared for the management of the organization's digital media. The theoretical findings of this program show that the integration between cultural values and digital capabilities is not contradictory, but rather mutually reinforcing in forming an organizational identity that is adaptive to changing times. This approach has succeeded in creating a culturally based empowerment model that can be replicated in other communities or organizations with similar characteristics. The emphasis on cultural sensitivity in the design of community service programs is the key to success, especially in the context of inclusive and sustainable digital transformation. This program makes a real contribution to strengthening women's capacity based on cultural communities, as well as opening up space for the development of relevant empowerment strategies in the digital era. Thus, this model can be a reference in designing social interventions that respect local wisdom while encouraging digital innovation.

This article examines Herbert Marcuse's thoughts in One Dimensional Man as a critique of the dominance of technology and capitalism in shaping the one-dimensional consciousness of modern humans. Using a critical philosophical approach, this study examines how digital technology, which was originally projected as an instrument of liberation, has actually transformed into a subtle means of oppression through the mechanisms of false needs and irrational rationality. Instead of opening up a space for emancipation, technological developments often deepen human attachment to the logic of the consumption-oriented digital capitalist system. The main goal of this research is to reawaken critical awareness and human negation in the midst of virtual reality that increasingly dominates life in the Society 5.0 era. The results of the study show that digital humans tend to experience existential alienation, where deep reflection and authentic freedom are reduced by the flow of instant information, pseudo-entertainment, and consumptive lifestyles. This condition makes individuals trapped in a cycle of obedience to a system that seems rational, when in fact it covers structural dominance. The discussion emphasized the importance of emancipation efforts through the rejection of the dominant system and the reactivation of critical potential as a path to true freedom. Emancipation is understood not only as a release from the shackles of technology, but also as an effort to revive reflective consciousness that is able to negate false values. Thus, Marcuse's thought remains relevant to reading the crisis of contemporary human consciousness while providing a philosophical foundation for the formation of a reflective, independent, and autonomous subject.

Indonesia has a rich cultural heritage, one of which is batik, which has become a national cultural heritage and is recognized by UNESCO as a world intangible cultural heritage. Along with the development of digital technology and the increasingly dynamic needs of society, innovations in the form of digital batik have emerged, opening new opportunities in the preservation and development of traditional batik motifs. Digital batik not only allows efficiency in the production process but also expands the reach of creative expression through the exploration of new, more modern forms, colors, and media. This creative research aims to explore the shape and color of the female beetle (Coccinellidae) as inspiration in creating digital batik motifs that are then applied to mugs using digital printing techniques. The method used is exploratory with an artistic practice approach, involving stages ranging from visual concept design, digital sketching, color exploration, to the printing process on ceramic media. The design process was carried out digitally using the Ibis Paint application on a mobile device, which demonstrates that batik works can be created flexibly with the help of simple technology. The results of this creation are 15 digital batik works with the visual character of the female beetle that have been artistically modified without losing their distinctive shape and striking color. Each design measures 20 x 8 cm and is printed on a cylindrical mug with a curved surface. This research demonstrates that natural elements such as insects can be a rich source of aesthetic inspiration for developing contemporary batik motifs. Furthermore, this work demonstrates that modern technology can play a crucial role in maintaining the relevance and appeal of traditional arts like batik in the era of globalization and digitalization.

This research aims to design and implement a website-based E-Presence information system with geolocation integration in the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of the Situbondo Job Training Center (BLK). This system was developed as a solution to problems that arise in the manual attendance mechanism, which is prone to recording errors, data manipulation, and delays in recapitulation of the attendance of trainees.

The results of the implementation show that the E-Attendance system is able to provide several significant benefits, including increasing the accuracy of attendance data, reducing the potential for fraud, accelerating the recapitulation process, and supporting decision-making in training activities. In addition, this system also provides added value in the form of increased trust in attendance administration management because the transparency of the data produced can be monitored directly. Thus, the design of a website-based E-Presence information system with geolocation integration at BLK Situbondo has proven to be effective in overcoming the problem of manual attendance, while contributing to improving service quality, technological innovation, job training governance, and strengthening digital transformation in the education and training sector.

The crime of fraud is a form of crime that not only causes material loss, but also has an impact on the intangible losses experienced by the victim, such as loss of sense of security, trust, and social stability. Fraud also has the potential to disrupt public order and reduce public trust in the legal system. Therefore, law enforcement against this criminal act is an important aspect in maintaining legal certainty and a sense of justice. This study aims to analyze the form of law enforcement against perpetrators of fraud crimes by focusing on the factors that cause perpetrators to commit fraud and the judge's considerations in imposing judgments. The case studied refers to Decision Number: 99/Pid.B/2024/PN.Tjk. The research method uses a normative juridical approach, by examining laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and case studies through the analysis of court decisions. The results of the study show that the legal provisions regarding fraud have been regulated in Article 378 of the Criminal Code (KUHP). However, implementation in the field is often constrained by limited evidence, the increasingly diverse modus operandi of perpetrators, and low legal awareness of the public. The judge in considering the verdict not only pays attention to the juridical aspect, but also takes into account the social and psychological impact on the victim. As a recommendation, this study emphasizes the importance of increasing coordination between law enforcement officials to strengthen the investigation and evidence process. The use of digital technology, especially in the collection of electronic evidence, is a strategic step in dealing with modern fraud modes. In addition, legal education to the public needs to be improved to foster legal awareness and prevent fraud crimes in the future.

This research was conducted with the main purpose of examining and analyzing the specific needs of elementary school teachers in designing and implementing a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model that is grounded in the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, with the ultimate goal of enhancing students’ critical thinking skills as a crucial competency in the 21st century. The study is rooted in the understanding that critical thinking is not only a fundamental learning outcome but also a key skill for students to thrive in modern society, while at the same time recognizing the current limitations in technology integration within elementary-level PBL practices. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving a purposive sample of 100 elementary school teachers who provided data through structured questionnaires and interviews. The analysis focused on five core indicators, namely teachers’ initial knowledge of TPACK-based PBL, the availability of facilities to support its implementation, teachers’ participation in relevant professional training, the degree of TPACK integration in classroom learning, and the actual application of PBL in teaching practice. Findings revealed that only 36% of teachers possessed sufficient awareness of TPACK-based PBL, 40% reported having adequate facilities in their schools, 40% had previously joined related training, 36% had integrated TPACK into their instruction, and 50% had applied PBL in their classrooms. These results clearly demonstrate a significant gap between existing practices and the ideal conditions needed for maximizing the potential of TPACK-based PBL. Consequently, the study emphasizes the urgency of developing and strengthening this model by improving teacher knowledge, ensuring continuous professional development opportunities, and promoting the effective use of technology to foster innovative, contextual, and student-centered learning that can systematically nurture critical thinking abilities in elementary school students.

Three training modules were implemented in stages: (1) Rooted in God's Word in the Digital Age, which encourages the use of Bible applications and digital devotionals; (2) Growing in Christ's Character Amidst Worldly Temptations, which emphasizes the values of integrity, faithfulness, and holiness; and (3) Serving with Creativity and Relevance in the Digital Age, which invites young people to produce digital content with spiritual value. The results of the study showed significant success, with 95% achieving “rootedness,” 80% achieving “growth,” and 86% achieving “serving.” In fact, 63.6% of participants experienced spiritual transformation and are now active as digital ministry drivers. These findings confirm that digital media, when utilized strategically and in harmony with Christian values, can be an effective tool in fostering the faith of the younger generation. Therefore, the church needs to develop a sustainable and contextual digital training model to strengthen the role of young people in current and future ministry.

Advances in digital technology in the financial sector have encouraged Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to shift from cash payment systems to non-cash payments through QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) as an effort to increase efficiency and modernize transactions. This research is motivated by the low level of QRIS adoption among MSMEs in Junti Village, Jawilan District, Serang Regency, Banten, most of which still rely on cash-based transactions. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of QRIS by MSMEs, identify the obstacles faced, and assess the impact of the system's implementation on daily business activities. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with MSME actors, and supporting documentation, and this research was conducted in Junti Village in July 2025. The results revealed that some MSMEs that have adopted QRIS experienced benefits in the form of ease in conducting transactions, increased efficiency, and a more professional business image. These findings also confirm that the use of QRIS contributes to the acceleration of digital transformation in the MSME sector, although not yet fully optimal. The main obstacles encountered were limited access and the quality of internet infrastructure, which is still uneven, making it difficult for some business actors to utilize QRIS optimally. Based on these results, the study recommends the importance of increasing the intensity of socialization and training on QRIS use, as well as the need for ongoing support from local governments and financial institutions so that MSMEs can adapt more quickly and comprehensively to changes in digital technology, so that MSME digital transformation can take place effectively, inclusively, and sustainably. This study recommends the need for increased socialization, training, and support from financial institutions and local governments to encourage sustainable digital transformation of MSMEs.
