Human resource management (HRM) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of da’wah programs in mosques. This study aims to analyze the implementation of HRM in managing da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar, as well as to identify obstacles and solutions to improve the effectiveness of da’wah activities. The research used a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Informants consisted of mosque administrators, preachers (da’i), and active congregants. The results showed that HRM in the da’wah programs already has a fairly clear organizational structure, but several aspects still need improvement. The recruitment of preachers is still conducted informally without clear competency standards, and there are no specialized training programs for preachers. Congregational participation also remains fluctuating. Another weakness is the minimal use of technology in disseminating da’wah information, as promotion is still carried out conventionally without optimizing digital platforms. In addition, limited funding and the lack of professional management personnel are major challenges. Solutions that can be implemented include improving preacher recruitment and training systems, utilizing technology in da’wah dissemination, and optimizing financial management through effective fundraising strategies. With better HRM implementation, da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar are expected to operate more professionally and provide broader positive impacts on society

This study aims to analyze the comparison of equity-based financing decisions and sukuk from the perspective of Sharia principles in companies in Indonesia. The development of the Islamic capital market in Indonesia shows a significant increase in the use of financing instruments that comply with Islamic principles, thereby encouraging companies to consider funding alternatives that are not only financially efficient but also Sharia-compliant. In the framework of Sharia financial management, capital structure decisions must consider the prohibition of usury, the principle of risk sharing, fairness in risk distribution, and contract certainty. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method thru the analysis of various scientific journals, regulations, and academic sources related to capital structure theory, the concept of Sharia equity, and the characteristics of corporate sukuk in Indonesia. The study results indicate that equity-based financing provides flexibility in capital structure and reflects a risk-sharing mechanism, but it has the potential to cause ownership dilution. Meanwhile, sukuk offers asset-based financing with a clear contractual structure and does not dilute company ownership, although it requires an underlying asset and a more complex issuance process. Comparatively, both instruments have Sharia legitimacy as long as they meet the screening requirements and contract structures applicable in Indonesia. This research emphasizes that corporate financing decisions in Indonesia need to consider the balance between financial efficiency and compliance with Sharia principles.

Financial literacy is an essential aspect in supporting community financial management, particularly in rural and indigenous communities such as Kanekes Village (Baduy). Although the community has begun to access financial services and digital technology, their ability to manage finances remains limited. Therefore, this community service activity aims to identify the level of financial literacy and to encourage public awareness of better financial management. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and field observations. The results show that the community, especially in Baduy Luar, has utilized social media such as TikTok Live and Instagram for product marketing and has adopted digital payment systems such as QRIS through Bank BRI, although cash transactions still dominate. The main sources of income come from micro-enterprises based on local potential, including handicrafts, traditional clothing, accessories, and food products. However, the community generally lacks financial recording practices and structured financial planning, causing income to be directly spent on daily needs. The activity also indicates the emergence of initial awareness regarding financial management and highlights the role of youth as local leaders in adopting digital technology. Therefore, strengthening financial literacy is crucial to improving financial behavior and supporting sustainable economic transformation within the community.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure and financial performance on firm value at PT Elang Mahkota Teknologi Tbk during the period 2015–2024. Capital structure is proxied by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), financial performance is measured by Return on Equity (ROE), and firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV). This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The data analysis techniques used include multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results show that capital structure (DER) has a positive and significant effect on firm value, as indicated by a t-statistic of 3.302, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.365, with a significance level of 0.013 (< 0.05). Financial performance (ROE) also has a positive and significant effect on firm value, with a t-statistic of 2.638, exceeding the t-table value of 2.365, and a significance level of 0.034 (< 0.05). Simultaneously, DER and ROE have a significant effect on firm value, as evidenced by an F-statistic of 6.384, which is greater than the F-table value of 4.737, with a significance level of 0.026 (< 0.05). The coefficient of determination indicates that 64.6% of the variation in firm value can be explained by capital structure and financial performance, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other variables outside the research model.

This study analyzes the effect of capital structure and firm growth on firm value with dividend policy as a mediating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019-2024. The volatility of the property sector influenced by global and domestic economic conditions encourages the importance of understanding firm value formation mechanisms. The research method uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling technique resulting in 66 observations from 11 companies during the research period. Data analysis uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling through SmartPLS application to test relationships between variables. The results show that capital structure and firm growth have no direct significant effect on firm value, but have a significant negative effect on dividend policy. Dividend policy has a significant positive effect on firm value and is able to fully mediate the effect of capital structure and firm growth on firm value with Variance Accounted For values of 151.6% and 90.4% respectively. These findings confirm the importance of dividend policy as a credible signaling mechanism regarding the company's ability to generate sustainable cash flows in creating value for shareholders amid the volatility of Indonesia's property sector.  

This study examines the anthropomorphic expression “the LORD came down to see” in Genesis 11:5 through an integrated historical–grammatical exegetical approach. The main objective is to analyze the lexical meaning, grammatical structure, historical context, and theological implications of the phrase within the framework of Old Testament theology. The research employs a qualitative library method, focusing on the Hebrew text supported by lexicons, commentaries, and Ancient Near Eastern studies. The findings indicate that the verb יָרַד (yārad) does not merely denote a spatial descent but signifies divine intervention, while רָאָה (rāʾāh) conveys evaluative and judicial observation. Grammatically, the use of the wayyiqtol form followed by an infinitive construct emphasizes intentional and purposeful divine action. Historically, the expression functions polemically against Mesopotamian religious concepts, particularly the idea of ziggurats as places where deities descend. Theologically, this anthropomorphic language serves as a medium to articulate the dynamic relationship between divine transcendence and immanence. Therefore, the phrase should not be understood literally but as a theological construct that communicates God’s active involvement and sovereign authority in human history.

West Sumatra is one of the Indonesian regions with high exposure to natural hazards, making fast, accurate, and accessible disaster information essential. This study aims to analyze the role of the Instagram account of the West Sumatra Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in disseminating disaster information, examining both institutional management practices and public interpretation of the messages. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten external informants and six internal BPBD informants, supported by observation and documentation of Instagram-based disaster communication. The data were analyzed through reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Instagram functions as a channel for early warning, emergency updates, disaster education, documentation, and public interaction. Internal informants described content production through field documentation, editing, 5W+1H-based narration, verification, and coordination with related agencies. Public informants perceived BPBD information as clear, credible, and useful for daily preparedness, although they expected faster updates, simpler visuals, and more interactive content. The study implies that disaster communication through Instagram needs to strengthen verification procedures, real-time updates, human resources, and two-way engagement.

This study examines the practice and meaning of hijab among Muslim female students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Department to determine whether the hijab is understood more as a religious obligation or as a form of identity choice. The purpose of this study is to describe the motivations, patterns of practice, social influences, and experiences of female students related to wearing the hijab in their daily lives, both on and off campus. The study employed a quantitative-descriptive design complemented by qualitative components. A structured questionnaire consisting of Likert-scale statements and open-ended questions was distributed to 70 Muslim female students, while essay responses were analyzed thematically to gain a deeper understanding of the respondents’ perspectives. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics in the form of percentage distributions to identify response tendencies, while qualitative data were coded to present representative experiences, views, and reasons underlying the decision to wear the hijab. The results showed that the majority of female students consistently wore the hijab primarily because of religious beliefs and personal awareness as Muslim women, although cultural identity, family environment, and social acceptance also influenced the practice. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of recognizing the hijab as both a manifestation of faith and a social identity, as well as the need for a campus environment that respects individual motivations, choices, and autonomy in wearing the hijab.

This article examines marriage law within Indonesian customary law communities and its interaction with national legal regulations. In customary societies, marriage is not merely a personal bond between a man and a woman, but a social institution involving extended families and the wider community. The study aims to describe the various forms of customary marriage, the requirements for its validity, and the procedures for legalization, including the recognition of marriages among adherents of indigenous belief systems. This research employs a normative juridical approach using statutory and conceptual analysis based on relevant legal provisions and customary practices. The findings show that customary marriage systems in Indonesia are strongly influenced by kinship structures such as patrilineal, matrilineal, and parental systems, resulting in diverse forms including bridewealth marriage, semenda marriage, independent marriage, mixed marriage, and elopement. The validity of marriage in customary law is closely connected to religious or belief-based rituals and community acknowledgment. Furthermore, developments in national law, particularly Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage and Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016, have strengthened legal recognition for followers of indigenous beliefs in marriage registration. The study concludes that customary marriage law remains relevant and continues to coexist with national law, reflecting Indonesia’s legal pluralism and cultural diversity.

Digital transformation in the public sector encourages civil servants to utilize technology not only for administrative purposes but also to improve efficiency, accuracy, and work performance. This study examines the influence of Intelligent Learning-Based Training and Digital Training Components on the Digital Productivity of civil servants at the Bureau of Economic Affairs of the Regional Secretariat of Lampung Province, with Adaptive Competence serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach with a non-experimental survey design was applied, and data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to employees engaged in digital-based work activities. The data were analyzed using structural model testing procedures. The findings reveal that Intelligent Learning-Based Training does not significantly influence Adaptive Competence or Digital Productivity. Conversely, Digital Training Components positively and significantly affect both Adaptive Competence and Digital Productivity. Adaptive Competence also has a positive impact on Digital Productivity and mediates the relationship between Digital Training Components and Digital Productivity. However, Adaptive Competence does not mediate the relationship between Intelligent Learning-Based Training and Digital Productivity. These results indicate that civil servants’ digital productivity is more effectively improved through practical, relevant, accessible, and well-evaluated digital training programs than through intelligent learning systems alone. Therefore, public institutions are encouraged to develop digital training initiatives that align with employees’ daily work demands while strengthening their adaptive competence in responding to technological changes.

This article examines needs analysis and curriculum analysis as the foundational bases for developing effective teaching materials. Using a library research method, this study reviews various scientific journal articles, reference books, and relevant official documents. Needs analysis is a systematic process conducted to identify the gap between students' current conditions and the competencies they are expected to achieve, serving as the most critical stage in determining the direction of teaching material development. Meanwhile, curriculum analysis is carried out to ensure that the teaching materials developed remain aligned with competency standards, learning outcomes, content structure, and applicable educational policies. The integration of both analyses produces teaching materials that are not only contextually relevant to students' real conditions but also consistent with curriculum demands. Systematic steps in this integration including learner characteristic analysis, curriculum document review, material priority mapping, and authentic assessment design significantly contribute to improving the quality, effectiveness, and meaningfulness of learning. This article concludes that needs analysis and curriculum analysis are inseparable and must be conducted systematically before the development of teaching materials begins.

Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse on youth participation in tourism, while practically providing recommendations for village governments and stakeholders.

Nutritional problems among children under five, particularly stunting, remain a significant public health challenge associated with inadequate nutrient intake and unfavorable eating behaviors such as picky eating, poor appetite, and feeding difficulties. These conditions may lead to imbalanced macronutrient and micronutrient intake, which adversely affects child growth and development. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to improve parental knowledge and skills in fulfilling child nutritional requirements through education and training on innovative food processing based on local ingredients, namely mandu formulated with anchovy (Stolephorus spp.) and yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis). The methods included educational sessions, hands-on training, mentoring, and evaluation using a structured questionnaire. The evaluation involved 18 participants, where 83.3% achieved an excellent category and 16.7% a good category.The practice-based educational approach combined with the utilization of locally available nutrient-dense ingredients was effective in enhancing community capacity and shows potential as a preventive strategy to reduce the risk of stunting at the household level.

Chili (Capsicum annuum L) ) is one of the most important horticultural commodities widely consumed in Indonesia and has high economic value. To maintain productivity and prevent pest attacks, farmers commonly apply chemical pesticides intensively. However, excessive and improper pesticide application can leave harmful residues on the surface and within the tissues of chili fruits. The accumulation of these residues not only poses health risks to consumers but also contributes to environmental pollution, particularly in wastewater generated from chili washing activities. This study aims to reduce pesticide residues of Cherizeb and Emacel in chili washing water using the photolysis methodassisted by a ZnO/zeolite catalyst. Zinc oxide (ZnO) acts as a photocatalyst activated by ultraviolet (UV) light to produce reactive hydroxyl radicals (•OH) capable of decomposing complex organic compounds into simpler compounds such as CO₂ and H₂O. Meanwhile, zeolite is used as a catalyst support due to its large surface area and high adsorption capacity, allowing adsorption and photocatalytic processes to occur simultaneously. The results showed that the photolysis method using the ZnO/zeolite catalyst significantly reduced pesticide residues, with optimum degradation efficiencies of 85.66% for Cherizeb using 0.8 g ZnO/zeolite under UV irradiation for 60 minutes, and 83.97% for Emacel using 0.8 g ZnO/zeolite under UV irradiation for 75 minutes. The samples were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify functional groups, indicating the disappearance of specific organic functional groups. Pesticide residues on chili samples were analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to determine concentrations before and after treatment. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the crystalline structure of the catalyst remained stable after the photolysis process. Based on these findings, the ZnO/zeolite catalyst is proven to be effective in reducing pesticide residues through photocatalytic degradation and has the potential to be applied as a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly post-harvest technology to improve the quality of agricultural products.

Adolescence is an important transitional period characterized by the maturity of the reproductive organs.In coastal areas such as Suppa District, lack of access to scientific information increases the risk of inappropriate sexual behavior among adolescents.The PkM aims to increase students' understanding of reproductive anatomy and physiology, provide prevention education related to sexually transmitted diseases,early pregnancy, promiscuity, and encourage the implementation of a clean and healthy lifestyle.The target of this activity was students in grades VIII and IX of SMP Negeri 2 Suppa, Pinrang Regency,South Sulawesi Province, with the number of participants reaching 60 people.The implementation method was carried out with an active participatory approach, including filling out a pre-test questionnaire,delivering material through interactive lectures with the help of multimedia presentation slides and booklets, Focus Group Discussion  to overcome participants' awkwardness,and ending with filling out a post-test.The success of the program was evaluated based on knowledge improvement through a structured questionnaire instrument.The results of the evaluation showed a significant increase in the average student understanding by 45.0%,from the average pre-test score of 43.3% to 88.3% in the post-test. The highest increase in knowledge was recorded in the STD prevention and promiscuity categories, from 35.0% to 85.0%.This activity has proven effective in improving students' objective medical understanding and correcting false myths in society.As a further tactical step, it is recommended that schools activate School Health Unit  in collaboration with local health centers and form peer counselors guided by BK teachers to maintain the sustainability of the positive impact of the program.
