Learning media has an important role in increasing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. This study aims to analyze the use of podcasts as a learning medium in the Media and Educational Technology course at the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, Primagraha University. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects are students who take the course, selected purposively based on the criteria of active users of social media and digital software. The results of the study show that podcasts are an effective learning medium in increasing students' interest and motivation to learn. Although the majority of students are used to using platforms like YouTube and Instagram, they don't have any experience in producing and distributing podcasts. The implementation of podcasts not only provides a new learning experience, but also encourages creativity and improves students' digital literacy. Group-based learning projects such as Ngajak Podcast show positive responses from students and show increased engagement in exploring educational materials independently. Thus, podcasts can be an alternative learning media that is relevant to technological developments and students' digital habits today.

Ibn Khaldun is recognized as a prominent Muslim thinker who made significant contributions to the fields of economics, sociology, and politics. In his seminal work Muqaddimah, he introduced economic ideas that were far ahead of his time, including the concepts of national wealth, wage theory, market mechanisms, and the role of the state in fiscal policy. This study aims to examine the core economic thoughts of Ibn Khaldun and their relevance to current economic dynamics. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature review, the study finds that many of Khaldun's ideas remain highly relevant, particularly regarding the importance of productivity, fiscal justice, and the integration of social and economic aspects in building a sustainable system. Most people know that Ibn Khaldun is one of the most famous Muslim thinkers, and he did a lot in the fields of politics, economics, and sociology.  In his monumental work, Muqaddimah discusses various long-established economic concepts, such as the market mechanism, wage theory, national wealth, and the role of the state in fiscal policy.  The purpose of this research is to study Ibn Khaldun's ideas on economics and evaluate how these impact contemporary economic developments.  The study found that many of Khaldun's ideas are still relevant today thanks to the use of descriptive qualitative methodology based on literature study. A sustainable and inclusive economic system relies on the idea of productivity as the source of economic growth, fiscal justice in the taxation system, and integration between social and economic aspects.  The results show that classical economic thought not only has historical value, but also offers solutions to many modern economic problems such as inequality, productivity stagnation, and institutional crisis.

Disparity in wealth distribution is a fundamental problem in the modern economy that causes social injustice and economic inequality. Islam offers a solution through the concept of equitable wealth distribution through the instruments of zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf. This study aims to analyze Abu Ubaid's thoughts on wealth distribution in Islam and explore its relevance as a solution to economic inequality in the contemporary era. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to Abu Ubaid's work, Kitab Al-Amwal, as well as related literature on Islamic economics and wealth distribution. The results show that Abu Ubaid emphasizes the importance of the state's role in managing public wealth through Baitul Mal to ensure fair and equitable distribution. In addition, he rejects the exploitative accumulation of wealth and asserts that fiscal policy must be flexible for the benefit of the people. Theoretically, this research enriches Islamic economic studies by integrating Abu Ubaid's principles as a guide to fair and sustainable policies. Practically, the results of this study can be a reference for policy makers in designing a social justice-based wealth distribution system that is relevant today. By understanding the concept of wealth distribution according to Abu Ubaid, this research is expected to contribute to the development of a more inclusive and equitable Islamic economy.

Moral education in Indonesia today faces serious challenges, particularly as many educators place greater emphasis on conceptual aspects rather than real-life exemplification. In fact, moral education plays a central role in shaping students’ character, as taught in Islam and exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This study aims to emphasize the importance of the teacher's role not only as a transmitter of knowledge but also as uswah hasanah (a good role model) for students. Through a literature review of the thoughts of figures such as Imam Al-Ghazali, Ki Hajar Dewantara, KH. Ahmad Dahlan, and the interpretation of Surah Ali-Imran verse 164, it is found that exemplification holds a strategic position in the process of character education. These figures stress the importance of integrating knowledge, attitudes, and behavior in moral education. The interpretation of the Qur'anic verse also shows that the Prophet's mission included not only conceptual teaching but also practical application through exemplary conduct. Therefore, the success of moral education depends heavily on the teacher’s ability to integrate cognitive, affective, and psychomotor approaches in a balanced manner. Real-life role modeling by teachers serves as an effective means of transmitting moral values to students in a holistic and sustainable way.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest infectious diseases that has existed throughout the history of human civilization and remains a major public health problem in the world today. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis which can result in TB Pleuritis, which is inflammation of the pleura, both the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura, manifested by accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. A 20-year-old man came with complaints of coughing for the past 1 month, white phlegm, shortness of breath felt worse for the past 2 days, fever not too high for the past 1 week accompanied by cold sweats at night. The patient feels that it is difficult to gain weight and tends to lose weight this month. Chest X-ray show left massive pleural effusion. Acid fast baccili sputum was negative. USG Thorax show pleural fluids approximately 1600 cc.  Tuberculosis (TB) can cause TB pleutiritis with symptoms of shortness of breath and sometimes chest pain on the side of the pleural cavity where there is fluid.3 Treatment of TB Pleuritis is the same as the treatment of pulmonary TB in general with the 2RHZE/4RH combination. Optimal fluid evacuation is carried out according to the patient's condition.

Free association is one of the major challenges faced by teenagers today. Changes in the era and technological advances have made the boundaries of social norms increasingly blurred. Many teenagers are trapped in a free lifestyle due to lack of supervision from parents, peer influence, and uncontrolled use of social media. This has an impact on declining academic achievement, even causing them to drop out of school. In conditions like this, the role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers is greatly needed. BK teachers are expected to be able to provide individual and group counseling services, deliver material on moral and ethical values, and work together with parents in guiding students. With the right approach from various parties, teenagers are expected to be able to protect themselves from the bad influence of association and grow into responsible and characterful individuals.    

This study aims to examine the historical development of the science of shorof with a focus on the contribution of classical scholars to the systematics of Arabic morphology, especially in the infaʽala verb pattern. Using a qualitative approach and literature study methods, this study traces the linguistic thoughts of figures such as Sībawayh, al-Mubarrid, Ibn Jinnī, to al-Raḍī. The results of the study show that the majority of classical scholars determine the infaʽala pattern as a non-transitive verb (lāzim) that contains the meaning of muṭāwaʽah, and is closely related to the basic pattern of faʽala. In addition, there were restrictions on certain letters as basic letters in this pattern to avoid sound assimilation (idghām). This study confirms that the Arabic morphological system is built on regular and logical rules, and the contribution of classical scholars is very significant in laying the scientific foundations of the science of shorof which are still relevant today

In today’s global economy, accurately predicting foreign exchange rates or estimating their trends correctly is crucial for informed investment decisions. Despite the success of standalone models like ARIMA and deep learning models like LSTM, challenges persist in capturing both linear and nonlinear dynamics in highly volatile exchange rate environments. Motivated by the limitations of these individual models and the need for more robust forecasting tools, this study proposes a hybrid ARIMA-LSTM model that integrates ARIMA’s strength in modeling linear trends with LSTM’s capability to capture nonlinear dependencies, using historical USD/NGN exchange rate data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) spanning 2001 to 2024. The research hypothesis posits that the hybrid ARIMA-LSTM model will significantly outperform standalone models in forecasting accuracy. By comparing these models against state-of-the-art approaches, the study highlights the advantages of hybridizing statistical and deep learning methods. The findings demonstrate that the hybrid model achieved the lowest Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 2.216 and the highest R² of 0.998, indicating superior forecasting performance. This study fills a critical research gap by demonstrating the effectiveness of hybrid deep learning in financial time series forecasting, providing valuable insights for investors, policymakers, and financial analysts. Future research will extend this work by incorporating the latest dataset and evaluating model robustness during the recent surge in the Naira/Dollar exchange rate from 2023 to 2024.

This study aims to explore innovative learning strategies in fostering students' critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are increasingly essential in today’s complex and challenging era. Approaches such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), as well as open discussions and debates, are capable of encouraging students to think analytically, logically, and reflectively. These strategies emphasize the active role of students in the learning process—not merely as recipients of information, but also as seekers and processors of knowledge. Teachers serve as facilitators who create a learning environment that supports exploration and problem-solving. The evaluation of critical thinking skills is conducted through instruments such as rubrics, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions, and analytical essay tests, which allow for an in-depth assessment of students' abilities. The findings show that innovative learning is more effective than conventional methods in developing critical thinking skills. Therefore, these strategies are worth implementing widely in the education system to prepare students to face future challenges critically, creatively, and adaptively.

The research aims to identify the factors affecting human resources accounting and their impact on profitability and performance improvement, as there is still limited evidence regarding the factors that play a role in determining the level of disclosure of information related to human resources in the financial reports of these banks, as well as providing an indicator to measure the level of disclosure of human resources, which enables bank departments to assess the level of this disclosure in their reports mechanism. The research was applied in your State Company for Engineering Industries, a public company affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Industry, and the research was applied for the period (2021-2024). The study came to a number of conclusions, chief among them that business organizations' financial reports do not disclose human resources, which means that these reports do not contain a significant portion of the information that would aid the various groups of users in making informed decisions about these organizations.  Given the growing significance of innovation, creativity, and the intensity of competition in today's world, modern organizations are depending more and more on human resources to accomplish their objectives and obtain a competitive edge. This calls for the provision of pertinent information.

Christology is a branch of theology that studies the person and work of Jesus Christ. In the Reformation tradition, Christology plays a very important role because the teachings about Christ are the main foundation in understanding the salvation of mankind. The Reformation that began in the 16th century in Europe, pioneered by great figures such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Huldrych Zwingli, not only brought major changes in the structure of the Church, but also in the way Christians understand and interpret the teachings of Scripture, especially about Christ. This study aims to explore more deeply the understanding of Christology in the Reformation tradition, as well as its impact on the teachings of Christian theology that are developing today. Through a deeper understanding of Christology in the context of the Reformation, it is hoped that readers can gain clearer insight into the differences in views about Christ that exist in various Christian traditions, as well as the contribution of the Reformation in shaping the understanding of modern Christian theology. .

This study discusses the history and development of the number system in India and its influence on the evolution of mathematics worldwide. The Indian number system has evolved since the Indus Valley Civilization and has undergone significant innovations, such as the invention of the number zero by Brahmagupta and the development of the place value system, which forms the basis of the modern decimal number system. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, involving the analysis of various written sources, such as books, academic journals, and historical articles on the Indian number system. The findings indicate that the Indian number system has had a profound impact on the advancement of mathematics, particularly after it was introduced to the Islamic world by scholars such as Al-Khwarizmi, who later disseminated it to Europe, making it the foundation of the numerical system used today. Additionally, the Indian number system contributed to the development of various branches of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, and number theory, and served as the foundation for modern technology, including computers and calculators. Therefore, understanding the history of the Indian number system should be reinforced in mathematics education, accompanied by further research on its applications in contemporary science and technology.
