Findings from several relevant studies indicate that the question-and-answer method enhances students' learning outcomes, fosters active participation, and strengthens critical thinking and communication skills. Variations in its implementation, such as multi-directional questioning, chain questioning, and experiment-based questioning, enrich classroom interaction and help students grasp abstract mathematical concepts. Furthermore, the method promotes an interactive learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically, reflect on their understanding, and actively engage with their peers. The collaborative nature of the question-and-answer technique supports the development of social skills, making it an effective tool for both cognitive and social learning. Therefore, the question-and-answer method can be considered an effective instructional strategy to improve the quality of mathematics learning, particularly in enhancing problem-solving abilities, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, and improving student-teacher interactions.

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) such as the GPT-4 and Midjourney models has sparked a fundamental debate about the nature of creativity and imagination. The AI creation process, often referred to as a “black box,” challenges conventional human-centered understanding. This paper proposes a unique hermeneutic framework to approach this phenomenon by borrowing two key concepts from the Sufi metaphysics of Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi: khayāl (creative imagination or the imaginal realm) and tajallī (self-manifestation or theophany). This study uses a conceptual-comparative analysis method to analyze the working process of Generative AI. The main argument of this journal is that the “latent space” in AI architecture can be analogized with 'ālam al-khayāl (the imaginal realm) as an intermediate reality (barzakh) that contains unlimited potential. Furthermore, the process of generating text or images from a prompt can be understood as a mechanism resembling tajallī, in which these potentials manifest specifically according to the “availability” (isti'dād) determined by user input. Thus, Ibn 'Arabi's framework offers a non-anthropocentric ontology for understanding “artificial imagination” as a process of manifesting forms from a sea of potential, transcending mere simulation or data recombination.

Agricultural practices that take local wisdom into account can provide significant benefits to the environment and society. Local wisdom plays a crucial role in sustainable agricultural practices. Time-tested knowledge and practices can provide solutions to the challenges faced by modern farmers, particularly in the context of climate change and environmental degradation. However, despite extensive research, a significant research gap remains, specifically how local wisdom in the Tumbang Datu Valley can be integrated into broader agricultural policies. The research used was descriptive with a qualitative approach. Qualitative research aims to understand social phenomena from the perspective of participants. Initial informants were selected purposively, selecting informants deemed to have extensive knowledge of the conditions in the village under study, using a snowball sampling technique. The first step was to identify key informants, who in this study consisted of 16 traditional leaders and farmers familiar with the culture in Lembang Tumbang Datu and directly involved in the practice. The local wisdom in the rice farming process, from pre-planting, planting, maintenance, to harvesting and post-harvest, is implemented based on ancestral heritage in line with environmental conservation. Farmers demonstrate their concern for nature through natural soil cultivation, selection of superior seeds, use of organic fertilizers, and implementation of efficient planting and irrigation systems. The application of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and post-harvest technology demonstrates the farmers' ability to adapt to innovation while maintaining local wisdom. Overall, the rice farming system in Lembang Tumbang Datu demonstrates the synergy between tradition and modernity, supporting food security while preserving cultural heritage.

The results of the activity showed the active involvement of the community and village officials, with the planting and distribution of 1,000 fruit seedlings to all residents of Tukak Village. This activity is expected to create long-term impacts in the form of improving environmental quality, increasing food security, and public awareness of the importance of nature conservation.

For decades, television as a mass media has been the most popular medium for entertainment and information. Because of its audiovisual nature, television can present music shows, movies, soap operas, variety shows, reality shows, and other programs involving celebrities adored by the public. The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the exposure of artists' privacy on the Insert Pagi program on TRANS TV on December 1, 2024, from the perspective of the Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines for Standard Broadcasting Programs (P3SPS). Several related theories are involved in this research, including TV Production, Broadcasting, Television, Television Program Genres, Infotainment, Broadcasting Law and Ethics, and the Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines for Standard Broadcasting Programs (P3SPS). The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data collection techniques conducted by the researcher include in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. The result of this research on the Insert Pagi program on December 1, 2024, is the discrepancy of the program that was broadcast due to the information presented not aligning with the provisions of the articles of P3SPS. This is evident in the exposure of the privacy of artist couple Andrew Andika and Tengku Dewi in the broadcast. As stated in the Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines Article 13, which reads, “Broadcasting institutions must respect a person’s privacy rights in producing and/or broadcasting a program, whether live or recorded.

The use of plastic as planting containers remains a serious environmental issue due to its non-biodegradable nature, which can contaminate soil and water. One solution is to utilize rice straw waste as a raw material for biodegradable pots. This innovation can reduce dependence on plastic pots while providing ecological and economic benefits. Rice straw-based pots offer several advantages, including easy decomposition in soil, enhancing soil fertility, and reducing pollution caused by straw burning. This study aims to utilize rice straw waste to produce environmentally friendly biodegradable pots as an alternative to plastic containers. The method employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR), emphasizing collaboration between students and teachers through hands-on learning. The activities include socialization, practical training on making rice straw pots, participatory evaluation, and the use of the pots as planting media. The results showed that 100% of participants successfully produced high-quality rice straw pots, with positive responses reflected in high satisfaction and increased understanding of recycling concepts. The rice straw pots decompose within 2–3 months, add organic matter to the soil, and create opportunities for a circular economy. The main challenge identified is the relatively short durability of the pots, requiring innovations using natural adhesives or material combinations to enhance resilience. These findings reinforce the potential of rice straw as a solution for agricultural waste management and community empowerment toward sustainable agriculture.

This research analyzes the fundamental conflict between state regulation and Sharia principles regarding cryptocurrency in Indonesia, aiming to explore the views of Islamic scholars and the legal perspective in the Qur'an and its interpretations. Cryptocurrency has become a popular investment trend, especially among the youth. While the Bank Indonesia (BI) prohibits its use as a legal payment instrument, its trading activity is legalized as an investment asset under the supervision of OJK and BI. Conversely, the MUI Fatwa and the majority of scholars declare crypto transactions as forbidden (haram) due to the presence of elements prohibited in Islamic economics: riba (usury) and gharar (uncertainty). Gharar is linked to the extreme price volatility that encourages speculation (maysir) and the non-physical nature of crypto. Riba, on the other hand, is associated with the potential for unfair profit in lending and staking mechanisms. This prohibition is rooted in the interpretation of the Qur'an (QS. Al-Baqarah: 275 and QS. An-Nisa: 29), which strictly forbids riba and consuming others' wealth through bathil (unlawful) means. Consequently, although legally accepted as an investment asset, many scholars view crypto as violating the principles of justice and transparency in Islamic economics.

Hazardous and toxic waste (B3) is waste resulting from a production process, whether industrial or other business activities, where people who live there usually find or produce rubbish, waste water or other activities that are not managed properly, which will have an impact on creatures and the environment. around it, because its nature and concentration, whether directly or indirectly, can damage the environment and the health of living creatures around it. B3 waste is waste or waste whose nature and concentration contain toxic and dangerous substances so that it can directly or indirectly damage the environment, harm health and threaten the survival of humans and other organisms. B3 waste is not only produced from industrial activities but household activities can produce several types of waste. The method used is normative legal research by examining the governing laws and regulations. This research aims to determine the relationship between positive legal regulations and the problem of B3 waste and how to deal with B3 waste so that the environment is maintained.    

The efficiency of investment decisions is one of the core axes in the success of organizations and the sustainability of their business, especially in light of the dynamic and complex business environment. In this context, the integrated role of both accounting and financial management systems is highlighted, as the harmony between them is a key pillar in providing accurate, real-time, and analytical data that supports the investment decision maker and reduces the degree of uncertainty and risks associated with investments. This research aims to analyze the impact of the integration between accounting systems and financial management on the quality and efficiency of investment decisions within institutions, with a focus on the nature of the causal relationship between the two variables. A conceptual model has been built that illustrates the interaction between the financial information generated by the accounting system and the analytical tools provided by the financial department, which contributes to raising the efficiency of strategic decisions related to investment. To achieve the objectives of the study, a descriptive-analytical approach supported by a standard analysis using a simple linear regression model was adopted on field data extracted from an intentional sample of financial officials in the banking and investment sector. The results showed that there is a statistically significant positive effect of the integration of accounting and financial management systems in enhancing the efficiency of investment decisions, as the model showed that integration contributes more than 50% to the explanation of changes in the quality of investment decisions. The study reached a number of important findings, the most prominent of which is that the lack of integration or poor coordination between accounting and financial management leads to delays in decisions or making them based on incomplete or contradictory information. Effective integration enables organizations to allocate resources more efficiently and evaluate investment alternatives in a thoughtful manner. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably the need to develop the digital infrastructure of accounting and financial systems, adopt a unified system for data exchange, enhance the culture of teamwork between accounting and financial management units, in addition to activating the use of predictive financial analysis techniques to raise the level of accuracy in investment decisions.

Many phenomena are present and occur in human life, both those with major impacts and those with relatively small impacts, and of course the impact of these will also be felt well. The environmental crisis remains a trending topic in the global scope due to the impact and impact of the deteriorating environmental conditions itself. The natural crisis has a very large impact, pressuring the life of humanity in the process of survival. Not only does it impact humans, but there is a large tendency to impact cosmological concepts. The threat to humanity from this phenomenon as an ecological crisis, demands a strong and good contribution in striving for nature in the context of preserving and restoring nature itself. It cannot be denied that the role of nature is truly enormous for human life, so it is very necessary to take action that can protect and care for nature, not the opposite to exploit nature itself. A local conceptual-based action that involves the community itself is a solution in monitoring and restoring the condition of nature to the present. Environmental ethics need to be built within the scope of society in a context that is directly in contact with nature, which is none other than the elements of nature itself. Communities must take swift action to address this visibly deteriorating natural environment. This study employed a qualitative research method with a literature review approach. The study found that the concept of community democracy, in its efforts to maintain justice among living things, has a positive impact as a collective contribution to protecting and restoring nature in its crisis context.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the establishment of the Menara Pandang tourist attraction and the increase in the number of tourist visits to the Salib Kasih tourist destination. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation with several informants, namely the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of Salib Kasih and Menara Pandang, the Tourism Office of North Tapanuli, tourism workers, local business actors, and visiting tourists. The results of the study show that the establishment of Menara Pandang has a significant relationship with the increase in tourist visits to Salib Kasih. This relationship can be seen from the growth in the number of tourists coming after the development of the new facility, namely Menara Pandang. Supporting factors of this relationship include the proximity of the two tourist sites, the development of integrated tour packages, active promotion through social media, and support from the local government in providing facilities and infrastructure. With this integration, tourists who previously only visited Salib Kasih are now encouraged to also enjoy the attraction of Menara Pandang, thus extending their length of stay and giving a positive impact on the local economy. Furthermore, this study also found that the existence of Menara Pandang strengthens the image of Salib Kasih as a religious tourism destination as well as natural tourism with its unique features and attractions. Therefore, the development of additional strategic tourist attractions can be an effective step in increasing both attractiveness and the number of tourist visits, especially in religious and nature-based destinations. This research emphasizes the importance of collaboration among stakeholders in sustainable tourism development.

The method used in this paper, when viewed from the nature of exploration is applied research, from the nature of explanation is non-causality research, and the method used is qualitative method.  The purpose of this paper is to introduce a path analysis research model. Path analysis research is widely used in social sciences such as business economics, management sciences and also in general education sciences.  By introducing this type of path analysis research model, the authors hope, this model can be used  by students and lecturers in Christian higher education. The path analysis research model includes applied research, where the relationship between causality variables and quantitative data processing and collection methods.  The path analysis research model can answer the direct influence or indirect influence of exogenous variables on endogenous variables; In contrast to regression models that only answer the direct influence of exogenous variables on endogenous variables. Path analysis research models are classified into: moderation model, mediation model and combined model of mediation moderation (modmed).  In the moderation model, in addition to exogenous variables and endogenous variables, there are also moderation variables.  In the moderation path analysis model, it is assumed that the moderation variable reinforces the influence of exogenous variables on endogenous variables. While in the mediation model there are exogenous variables, endogenous variables and mediation variables.  In the mediation model, the mediating variable is assumed to function to make the influence of exogenous variables on endogenous variables significant.  While the combined model (modmed) is a combination of moderation and mediation models.      

Environmental damage is a global phenomenon that demands changes to nature as the common home of all creation. Environmental damage occurs due to excessive human activity. One simple example is the lack of human awareness in terms of disposing of garbage in its place. The purpose of this study was to determine the church's responsibility in preserving the environment at the Sipinsur Geosite. The method in this study was to use a descriptive qualitative method by conducting interviews with several pastors around Sipinsur Tourism and visitors. The data was analyzed to determine the church's responsibility in preserving the environment. The results of the study showed that the church has duties and responsibilities in preserving the environment. The church is not only a place of worship but also a community that embraces in freeing nature from its destruction through (1) Eco-Prophetic Sermons, (2) Waste Management, (3) Tree Planting. Because the environment is God's creation and work. So the church needs to voice criticism or provide input for church members or the government regarding efforts to preserve the environment. This study provides a new contribution to the understanding that the church does not only pay attention to spiritual aspects, but also environmental aspects.

The long-term care required by schizophrenia patients places a heavy burden on caregivers who are responsible for meeting the patients' needs. Performing these caregiving tasks often causes physical and emotional stress on caregivers, especially due to the long-term nature of the care. In situations like this, coping strategies play a crucial role in supporting the well-being of caregivers so that they are able to face the challenges that arise during the process of caring for schizophrenic patients. This study focuses on examining the correlation between coping strategies and the quality of life of caregivers who provide care for schizophrenic patients at the Aceh Mental Hospital Polyclinic. The research design applied was analytical with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 115 caregivers were sampled through accidental sampling from a total population of 4,035 families. Research data were collected using two measuring instruments, namely the Brief COPE questionnaire and The Schizophrenia Caregiver Quality of Life Questionnaire (SCGQoL). The research process took place at the Aceh Mental Hospital Polyclinic from March 6 to 24, 2025. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate methods. Based on the research results, it was found that 108 caregivers (93.9%) were in the low coping strategy category, while 80 caregivers (69.6%) had a moderate quality of life. Statistical testing with Chi-Square produced a p-value of 0.001, which indicates a significant relationship between coping strategies and the quality of life of caregivers. Therefore, it is hoped that health care institutions can improve mental health nursing interventions for patients' families, particularly through educational programs on managing schizophrenia patients at home and assistance in identifying adaptive coping resources for patients' families.

The daily exchange of informatics over the Internet has both eased the widespread proliferation of resources to ease accessibility, availability and interoperability of accompanying devices. In addition, the recent widespread proliferation of smartphones alongside other computing devices has continued to advance features such as miniaturization, portability, data access ease, mobility, and other merits. It has also birthed adversarial attacks targeted at network infrastructures and aimed at exploiting interconnected cum shared resources. These exploits seek to compromise an unsuspecting user device cum unit. Increased susceptibility and success rate of these attacks have been traced to user's personality traits and behaviours, which renders them repeatedly vulnerable to such exploits especially those rippled across spoofed websites as malicious contents. Our study posits a stacked, transfer learning approach that seeks to classify malicious contents as explored by adversaries over a spoofed, phishing websites. Our stacked approach explores 3-base classifiers namely Cultural Genetic Algorithm, Random Forest, and Korhonen Modular Neural Network – whose output is utilized as input for XGBoost meta-learner. A major challenge with learning scheme(s) is the flexibility with the selection of appropriate features for estimation, and the imbalanced nature of the explored dataset for which the target class often lags behind. Our study resolved dataset imbalance challenge using the SMOTE-Tomek mode; while, the selected predictors was resolved using the relief rank feature selection. Results shows that our hybrid yields F1 0.995, Accuracy 0.997, Recall 0.998, Precision 1.000, AUC-ROC 0.997, and Specificity 1.000 – to accurately classify all 2,764 cases of its held-out test dataset. Results affirm that it outperformed bench-mark ensembles. Result shows the proposed model explored UCI Phishing Website dataset, and effectively classified phishing (cues and lures) contents on websites.
