Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requires comprehensive management beyond pharmacological therapy, including sustainable lifestyle-based interventions. Yoga asana, as a form of mind–body intervention, integrates physical postures, breathing techniques, and relaxation practices that may influence metabolic and psychosocial pathways relevant to T2DM. This article aimed to synthesize evidence regarding the physiological mechanisms, clinical effectiveness, and healthcare implementation context of yoga asana in T2DM management, as well as to discuss the role of physicians in integrating this complementary therapy, including within health tourism settings. A narrative literature review was conducted using scientific databases, focusing on publications addressing yoga asana, mind–body interventions, T2DM, and clinical integration. The findings indicate that yoga asana is associated with improved glycemic control, including reductions in fasting blood glucose, postprandial glucose, and HbA1c, alongside modulation of stress-related physiological parameters and psychological well-being. Beyond clinical outcomes, yoga asana shows potential for community-based and health tourism contexts as part of chronic disease lifestyle management. Physicians play a central role in clinical assessment, patient education, coordination with complementary therapy providers, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safe, evidence-based integration. Although current evidence suggests consistent beneficial trends, methodological heterogeneity highlights the need for more standardized and mechanistic research.  

Dairy goat farming holds significant economic potential as a rural enterprise alternative, driven by increasing market demand for goat milk, which is known for being low-allergen and highly nutritious. This article presents a case study on Okane Mochi Farm, a dairy goat farming unit located in Ngaglik Village, Gebang District, Purworejo Regency. This study aims to analyze the breeding management strategies, product innovation, and economic impacts generated by the farm. The method used is field observation and descriptive study of the farm's operations. Observations indicate that the success of Okane Mochi Farm is driven by three main factors: (1) Innovation in selecting superior breeds such as Anglo Nubian and Sapera for high milk productivity; (2) Implementation of strict housing management and hygiene standards to maintain milk quality; and (3) Product diversification through flavored pasteurized milk processing and the utilization of livestock waste into organic fertilizer (zero waste). The study concludes that the upstream-downstream integration model applied by Okane Mochi Farm can serve as a reference for sustainable rural economic empowerment models.

Tegal Regency is a region in Central Java Province. Geographically, Tegal Regency is situated on a highly advantaged path. This regency, with its capital in Slawi, boasts a diverse range of economic centers spread across several regions. Dominated by small and medium-sized industries, the community can be empowered and participate in improving their well-being through job creation. Small and Medium Industry centers are highly diverse. One area we highlight in this article is the potential of metal and machinery SMEs, which are crucial commodities in the local economy. The metal industry is located around Talang District. The metal and machinery sector holds significant promise due to the potential for increased manufacturing demand, which can boost the local economy. In this study, we used field research and interviews to understand how the SME economy operates. By highlighting this, we hope that the government will focus on SMEs, particularly in the metal and machinery sector, by providing incentives for training and improving product quality and human resources. Based on the above description, local economic growth is highly possible with the support of adequate facilities and infrastructure.

Company value is an important indicator that reflects company performance and investor perceptions of future business prospects and sustainability. Various strategic decisions made by management, such as capital intensity management, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness policies, play a significant role in shaping company value. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of capital intensity, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness on company value through a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review by examining various relevant national and international scientific articles obtained from academic databases such as Google Scholar, Publish or Perish, and SINTA. The results of the study show that capital intensity has a positive effect on company value because it reflects long-term production capacity and operational efficiency. Investment decisions have also been proven to have a positive effect on company value because they signal management's optimism about future growth prospects. Meanwhile, tax aggressiveness can increase company value through tax savings and increased cash flow, but it has the potential to cause reputational and governance risks if done excessively. Overall, the reviewed literature shows that these three variables have an impact on company value, with the caveat that optimal and transparent management is necessary. This study is expected to serve as a reference for further research and as a consideration for company management and investors in making strategic decisions.

The phenomenon of homelessness and begging in public places remains a complex social problem and impacts public order and legal norms. The main problem in this study is how the criminal law is applied to homelessness and begging in public places, and how the provisions compare in the old Criminal Code and the new Criminal Code based on Law Number 1 of 2023. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and literature study. In the old Criminal Code, begging is regulated in Article 504 which threatens imprisonment for anyone who begs in public. Meanwhile, the new Criminal Code regulates similar acts in Article 425 which no longer uses the term "begging" explicitly, but regulates the prohibition against the repeated exploitation of certain activities in public places that disturb the community. The research results show that, despite substantial continuity, the new Criminal Code tends to use a more humanistic approach and emphasizes social rehabilitation. Law enforcement against vagrants and beggars still faces various obstacles, such as low public reporting, limited oversight by authorities, and a lack of rehabilitation facilities. Therefore, the main conclusion of this research is that a repressive approach alone is insufficiently effective. An integrated legal strategy is needed, combining penal and non-penal approaches with the active involvement of the government, the community, and social institutions.

Coffee husk is an agro-industrial waste with significant potential to be utilized as a renewable energy source through the fast pyrolysis process. This study aims to analyze and optimize gas production from the fast pyrolysis of coffee husk biomass using a screw reactor through single-particle-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The simulations were conducted by varying the operating temperature at 500°C, 600°C, and 700°C to examine pressure distribution, heat transfer, particle temperature, and the formation of pyrolysis products, namely bio-oil, biogas, and biochar. The modeling was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.2 with a numerical approach to represent thermal phenomena and biomass decomposition reactions during the pyrolysis process. The simulation results indicate that increasing temperature significantly affects the rate of heat transfer and the temperature distribution of coffee husk particles. At 600°C, heat transfer and temperature distribution are more uniform compared to 500°C, although heating at the particle core is not yet fully optimal. The pressure distribution shows a stable flow of pyrolysis gas from the bottom to the top of the reactor. In terms of products, increasing temperature leads to a reduction in biochar and bio-oil formation due to the occurrence of secondary reactions, while biogas production increases. The highest gas production is achieved at 700°C, indicating the most optimal condition for maximizing gas yield from fast pyrolysis. Therefore, single-particle-based CFD simulation can be used as an effective tool to understand pyrolysis mechanisms and optimize process parameters in a screw reactor.

This study discusses the judge’s considerations in granting permission for polygamy to a husband who had committed adultery, as stated in the Religious Court Decision of Tanjung Karang Number: 737/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Tnk. Generally, Law No. 1 of 1974 in conjunction with Law No. 16 of 2019 on Marriage upholds the principle of monogamy but allows polygamy under certain conditions with court approval. This case is particularly interesting because the court granted permission for polygamy to a husband who was proven to have engaged in an affair and committed adultery resulting in a child born out of wedlock. The study aims to identify the legal considerations of the judge and the legal implications regarding the marriage and joint property. The research employs an applied normative legal method with a qualitative approach, using primary data from interviews and secondary data from legislation and legal literature. The results show that the judge considered granting permission for polygamy as a means of legalizing the existing relationship to maintain public morality and prevent continuous sinful behavior, although it conflicts with moral values. Legally, the second wife has no rights over the joint property acquired before the polygamous marriage, as stipulated in Article 65 paragraph (1) letter b of the Marriage Law

This study aims to determine the relationship between low self-acceptance and the level of self-efficacy in prisoners, as well as its implications on social life after prisoners are released from punishment. The systematic review method  is used with the SPIDER approach to formulate research questions and select relevant articles. The search was conducted through the Publish or Perish, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases with keywords related to self-acceptance, self-efficacy, and inmates. Of the 100 articles identified, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results of the review showed that low self-acceptance was consistently negatively associated with self-efficacy in prisoners, which had an impact on low self-confidence to face social challenges, reintegration, and overcome societal stigma. Psychological factors such as guilt, anxiety, depression, and insecurity can exacerbate low self-acceptance, especially in female inmates. In addition, social support from family, the environment, and psychological interventions have been shown to play an important role in improving self-acceptance and self-efficacy. Interventions such as expressive art therapy, psychoeducation, counseling, skills training, and religious activities have shown effectiveness in improving psychological well-being. These findings underscore the importance of systematic efforts to improve self-acceptance and self-efficacy to support the successful social reintegration of prisoners.

Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW constitutes a fundamental source of Islamic teachings that plays a crucial role in shaping value systems, particularly in the field of education. One of the most essential hadiths in Islamic educational discourse is Ṭalabul ‘Ilmi Farīḍah ‘Alā Kulli Muslim, which emphasizes the obligation of seeking knowledge for every Muslim. This article aims to comprehensively examine the ethics of seeking knowledge from the perspective of this hadith and its relevance to academic life among university students. This study employs a library research method by analyzing hadith compilations, classical and contemporary hadith commentaries, and scholarly literature in Islamic education. The findings indicate that the hadith Ṭalabul ‘Ilmi Farīḍah ‘Alā Kulli Muslim not only establishes the obligation of acquiring knowledge but also embodies fundamental principles of academic ethics, including sincerity, perseverance, honesty, respect for educators, and responsibility in applying knowledge. These ethical values remain highly relevant in fostering an academic culture of integrity within higher education institutions.

Islamic Educational Philosophy holds a pivotal role in directing the learning process to remain consistent with Islamic principles. This article seeks to explore how the values of Islamic Educational Philosophy are implemented in the learning activities at the Institute of KH Ahmad Sanusi, with a focus on fourth-semester students. The study adopts a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical design based on library research and the examination of instructional practices. The results reveal that Islamic Educational Philosophy serves as a conceptual framework for determining and applying learning strategies, including discussion and inquiry-based learning, which foster active participation, critical thinking, and the internalization of Islamic values. Learning assessment is carried out in a comprehensive manner by addressing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains through individual assignments, collaborative tasks, formal examinations, and academic writing activities. Moreover, the emphasis on self-reflection (muhasabah) enhances students’ awareness of their moral and spiritual responsibilities in the process of seeking knowledge. The application of Islamic Educational Philosophy is therefore expected to support the development of students who are intellectually competent, morally grounded, and reflectively aware as future educators and Muslim intellectuals.

Blood sugar regulation problems such as diabetes are increasing, so sustainable management is needed. Kersen leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) are tropical plants that have potential as traditional blood sugar management through the content of phytochemical compounds contained therein. This article aims to review the potential of kersen leaves in blood sugar management and its implications in the wellness tourism approach. The method used is a literature review of scientific literature, especially the last five years related to the phytochemical content and antihyperglycemic activity of kersen leaves, as well as their implications in wellness tourism. The results of the literature review through in vivo and in vivo approaches show that kersen leaves contain potential phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins that are able to regulate blood sugar by preventing the oxidation process of important molecules by free radicals, suppressing oxidative stress, inhibiting carbohydrate enzymes, increasing insulin production, and suppressing the glycogenolysis process. In the context of wellness tourism, kersen leaves as a herbal plant can be used as a healthy drink and have the potential to be studied further in the development of wellness tourism, especially related to herbal medicine.

This article examines the handling of sexual harassment offenses within Indonesia’s criminal justice system, which faces complex challenges, particularly when restorative justice (RJ) is used as an alternative mechanism for case resolution. This study analyzes the implementation of RJ in sexual harassment cases at the Sleman Resort Police (Polres Sleman), referring to the Indonesian National Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021 on the Handling of Criminal Acts Based on Restorative Justice. The analysis focuses on how this policy is applied at the operational level and how its practice interacts with the normative provisions set forth in Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS), which explicitly prohibits non-judicial settlement for several categories of sexual violence. Using a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document analysis, the study finds that RJ continues to be applied at Polres Sleman despite its potential conflict with the prohibitions stipulated in the UU TPKS. At the operational level, the legal culture of police officers plays a significant role in encouraging the use of RJ, driven by pragmatic considerations such as efficiency in case resolution, social pressure from the community, and officers’ perceptions of the seriousness of sexual harassment cases. As a result, victims’ rights often fail to become the central focus, even though victimology emphasizes the importance of victim recovery and protection. The study concludes that regulatory harmonization, increased sensitivity of law enforcement officers toward sexual violence issues, and strengthened victim protection mechanisms are essential to ensure that the application of RJ does not undermine substantive justice.

This study examines the dynamics of public criticism of Shin Tae-yong's dismissal by PSSI as a phenomenon of digital communication that shows the tension between freedom of expression and the legal limits of hate speech. The background of this research stems from the intensity of netizens' reactions, which developed into collective moral pressure and had the potential to enter the realm of insults and hostility, as reflected in various comments, news reports, and verbal disputes involving public figures. This study aims to analyze how criticism, media framing, and netizen responses interact with the regulations of the ITE Law, particularly Article 28 paragraph (2), which is often used in reporting hate speech. The methods used are a normative juridical approach and case studies with document analysis, news reports, and academic literature techniques to identify patterns of digital expression and their legal relevance. The results of the study show that public criticism of Shin Tae-yong not only reflects performance evaluation, but also contains emotional, social identity, and moral dimensions that are reinforced by media framing and digital culture. The discussion confirms that the shift from criticism to hate speech occurs when public expression is not managed ethically, while law enforcement on hate speech articles still faces interpretation problems. In conclusion, this verbal dispute reflects the complexity of Indonesia's digital democracy and the urgency of legal reform

The concept of force majeure is essential in business agreements in Indonesia, as it regulates the release of contractual obligations that cannot be fulfilled due to events beyond their control such as natural disasters, pandemics, conflicts, or government policies. This study examines force majeure clauses in business agreements in Indonesia from a normative juridical perspective, focusing on the legal framework, its application practices, and its legal implications for contractual certainty. Using normative juridical qualitative methods, data were analyzed from the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) Articles 1244–1245 and 1444–1445, legal doctrine, and literature. The results of the study underlined that the force majeure clause has a strong legal basis in the Civil Code, which exempts the affected party from the obligation of compensation if the failure to perform the obligation is caused by events beyond his control. The application of this clause in the contract allows for the revision, postponement, or termination of a temporary contract, thereby guaranteeing legal certainty and protecting the principles of good faith and contractual fairness. In addition, the formulation of detailed clauses in the contract is crucial to prevent potential legal disputes down the road and ensure fair protection for all parties involved in the business agreement.

The phenomenon of the “Sandwich Generation” (SG) in Indonesia, where individuals of productive age (30-40 years old) bear a double financial burden—supporting the needs of their children and immediate family (furu') while also supporting their elderly parents (ushul)—has become a widespread social and financial challenge. This pressure, exacerbated by inadequate income and low financial literacy, forces 94% of SG respondents to set aside their personal interests. This dilemma calls for a clear Sharia analysis of the priority scale of financial support. This article aims to analyze the SG maintenance dilemma through the Qawa'id Fiqhiyyah (Fiqh Principles) framework to establish a hierarchy of financial obligations. The two main principles used are Al-Farḍu afḍalu mina an-Nafli (Absolute Obligation takes precedence over Sunnah) and Al-Wājib lā yutrak illā liwājibin (An Obligation cannot be abandoned except for another Obligation). Fiqh analysis shows that the resolution of priority conflicts is based on the classification of the legal status of the recipient of alms, distinguishing between absolute obligations (Adami rights, contractual) and conditional obligations (wajib zhanni, Allah's rights). Key findings establish Sharia priorities in conditions of limitation: Self, Wife and Children (Absolute Obligations), Parents (Conditional Obligations), Siblings/Relatives (Sunnah/Nafl). This priority is established to protect the nuclear family unit as the foundation of society, in line with Maqāṣid ash-Sharīʿah (Sharia Objectives).

This is related to the rights of traffic accident victims regulated in Article 240 of Law 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation "traffic accident victims have the right to receive compensation from the party responsible and are entitled to insurance compensation from the insurance company". Article 1365 of the Civil Code, every person who commits an unlawful act is obliged to compensate for the losses arising from his or her mistake. In fact, many accidents occur due to damaged roads in Samarinda City, so this is one of the factors causing traffic accidents.The aim of this research is to answer two things. First, to find out and examine unlawful acts by the authorities in cases of traffic accidents due to damaged roads. Second, we want to know and examine the legal responsibilities of road operators. In this part of the research, we review and explore the relevant laws that regulate and are relevant to claims for compensation against road operators by victims of traffic accidents due to damaged roads.The results obtained from this research are as follows: 1) In this case, the occurrence of traffic accidents in terms of the last 5 years continues to show a significant increase, which means that the government has not maximally provided the community's rights, namely to have good roads. One of the causes of accidents is damaged roads, but to date no member of the public has filed a civil lawsuit against the government for compensation for the pain they suffered. 2) The government's regulations and efforts to provide protection for road users are sufficient, but they are not implemented optimally, in fact the public has never been given an appeal to demand their rights to receive good roads.  

Contemporary Islamic law faces complex challenges in responding to rapid social change while maintaining fidelity to authoritative religious texts. This article examines the tension and interaction between textual authority (the Quran, Sunnah, ijma’, and qiyas) and the dynamics of modern socio-cultural, political, and technological developments. Using qualitative library research, this study analyzes classical and contemporary Islamic legal thought, including maqaṣid al-shariah, ijtihad, and contextual interpretation. The findings indicate that Islamic law possesses inherent flexibility through its methodological tools, enabling adaptation without undermining its normative foundations. However, challenges arise from rigid textualism, politicization of Islamic law, and epistemological gaps between tradition and modernity. This study concludes that a balanced approach integrating textual fidelity and contextual responsiveness is essential for the relevance of Islamic law in contemporary society.

This research aims to understand the representation of cooperation between the older and younger generations and work ethic in the film "The Intern" by Nancy Meyers. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic analysis in the form of a meaning triangle, namely sign, object, and interpretant. Signs are in the form of visuals, dialogue, and symbols. The object is what the sign represents, and the interpretant is the understanding derived from both the sign and the object. In this study, the researcher carried out an analysis by selecting each scene that shows generational differences, the emergence of cooperation, and the work ethic applied in the film The Intern. We collected data through library research, which included relevant books, articles, and scientific writings. The data collection techniques used are interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this research show that this film succeeded in presenting generational differences not as obstacles but as a way to work together well and develop. This film demonstrates work ethic values such as hard work, responsibility, honesty, and cooperation. This research concludes that the film The Intern is not only entertaining but also provides many social messages about cooperation and work ethic.

Islamic education plays a strategic role in promoting social transformation amid the dynamics of societal change. Islamic education functions not only as a medium for the transmission of knowledge and religious values, but also as an instrument for character building, social awareness, and the strengthening of moral and spiritual values. This article aims to examine the concept of Islamic education and its relevance to the process of social transformation, as well as to analyze the roles and challenges of Islamic education in responding to modern social changes. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through library research by analyzing relevant literature sources, including books, scholarly journals, and supporting documents. The findings indicate that Islamic education contributes significantly to the development of a moral, just, and socially responsible society. Islamic education serves as an agent of social change through the internalization of ethical values, intellectual development, and balanced spiritual guidance. However, Islamic education also faces various challenges such as globalization, modernization, and cultural change. Therefore, strengthening adaptive and contextual strategies in Islamic education is essential to ensure its continued relevance in fostering positive social transformation.

Social media, initially projected as a democratic discourse space, has instead become trapped in the echo chamber phenomenon, narrowing the intellectual horizons of its users. This research aims to analyze the echo chamber phenomenon on social media through the lens of Max Horkheimer’s critical theory, specifically the concept of the "Eclipse of Reason." The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive with a literature study and philosophical analysis approach. The results indicate that social media algorithms have shifted objective reason into instrumental reason, where truth is measured solely by efficacy and confirmation of personal beliefs. The analysis in this article concludes that social media functions as an "eclipse of reason" machine that stifles the critical reasoning abilities of individuals. This process occurs when reason is no longer used to critically dissect reality but serves merely as a technical tool to adapt to homogeneous information flows. The death of critical reason is not merely a technical byproduct of algorithms but a manifestation of the dominance of formal rationality that sidelines human values in the digital sphere.
