The development of digital technology has greatly influenced consumer behavior, particularly among Generation Z, who are dominant in Indonesia's hijab fashion market. This shift requires businesses to adapt their strategies to meet the dynamic, trend-driven, and digitally-savvy preferences of young consumers. This study examines the business development strategy of Leenavie.id, a hijab brand, and the challenges it faces in targeting Generation Z. Using a qualitative approach with case study methodology, in-depth interviews with business owners were conducted to gain insights into the business development process. The findings show that Leenavie.id focuses on product innovation, competitive pricing, social media as a primary distribution and promotion channel, and leveraging e-WOM for brand awareness and emotional connections with consumers. Success indicators include a high repeat order rate, positive market response, and external collaboration offers. However, challenges such as limited capital, small production capacity, and underutilization of the marketplace hinder scalability. The study suggests that enhancing digital adaptation, strengthening operational capacity, and fostering strategic collaborations are key to improving the competitiveness and sustainability of local hijab businesses. Future research should include consumer perspectives for a more comprehensive understanding of customer behavior and loyalty.

This study aims to analyze the quality of coal from the AR_10 borehole in Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra, based on proximate analysis. The AR_10 borehole has three coal seams (A, B, and C) that were analyzed using the standard ASTM method to determine the coal quality characteristics. The parameters analyzed include total moisture (TM), volatile matter (VM), fixed carbon (FC), ash content (Ash), calorific value (CV), and total sulfur (TS) on an as-received (AR) basis. The analysis results show that seam A has the highest moisture content (19%), seam B exhibits the optimal calorific value (6045 kcal/kg), and seam C has the highest fixed carbon content (42.63%) with the highest sulfur content (0.83%). The correlation between parameters indicates that increases in moisture and ash content negatively affect the calorific value, while an increase in fixed carbon is positively correlated with the calorific value. All three seams fall into the category of low to medium rank coal (subbituminous to high volatile bituminous) with adequate quality for power generation and industrial purposes. This research provides an important contribution to the characterization of Muara Enim Formation coal in South Sumatra for the optimization of local coal resource utilization.

This study aims to analyze the transformation process of Islamic edupreneurship values in developing an educational ecosystem oriented toward independence and blessing (barakah) within Islamic schools. The low entrepreneurial and independent spirit among students remains a major challenge for Islamic educational institutions seeking to instill spiritually grounded entrepreneurship values. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through a case study at an Islamic elementary school. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results reveal that the internalization of Islamic edupreneurship values—such as amanah (trustworthiness), shidq (honesty), jiddiyyah (diligence), ibda‘ (creativity), and mas’uliyyah (responsibility)—successfully shifted students’ mindset from consumptive to productive orientation with a focus on barakah. The transformation occurred through curriculum integration, teacher modeling, socio-economic projects, and spiritual habituation. The Islamic edupreneurship-based ecosystem strengthened students’ character, microeconomic independence, and the culture of blessed work. This study recommends developing an Integrative Islamic Edupreneurship Curriculum Model to foster a competitive and morally upright generation.
