This study identifies and validates critical risk factors in storage tank construction projects through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and expert judgment using Aiken’s V method. Initially, 103 journal articles were screened, with 43 selected for in-depth analysis, revealing 33 causal factors and six key risk categories. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving industry professionals (project managers, QA personnel, safety officers) enriched the findings by incorporating practical insights missing in academic literature. Eight experts then evaluated these factors using Aiken’s V, validating 13 causal factors and four risk factors as highly significant. Key causal factors included Structure Design, Material Delivery, and Foundation Design, while major risk factors were financial loss, non-compliance, workplace accidents, and poor-quality outcomes. The study establishes a structured risk model for storage tank projects, supporting future quantitative risk analysis and mitigation strategies.

Article 31 Paragraph 3 of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, which states that "the husband is the head of the family and the wife is a housewife," raises concerns regarding gender equality and contemporary social dynamics. This provision is considered to reflect a patriarchal legal construction that fails to respond to the evolving gender roles in modern society, where women also actively contribute as breadwinners and decision-makers within the family. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Article 31 Paragraph 3 through a normative, contextual, and inclusive juridical approach. The findings indicate that this provision has the potential to perpetuate gender discrimination and contradicts the principles of justice enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia as well as the CEDAW Convention, which has been ratified by Indonesia. Therefore, a reinterpretation of Article 31 Paragraph 3 is necessary to ensure it aligns with contemporary values of equality and current social realities. Reformulating this provision is essential to establish an inclusive and just family law system that keeps pace with societal developments.

This research evaluates the direction of Indonesia's defense policy under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto, taking the Indonesia-Turkey strategic partnership as the main case study. Using a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study method, this research analyzes the dynamics of military cooperation that includes key projects such as the development of the Bayraktar drone, involvement in the KAAN fifth-generation fighter jet, and collaborative submarine construction plans. The results show that these partnerships represent a strategy of defense equipment diversification and strengthening the domestic defense industry, and reflect a shift in Indonesia's strategic orientation from dependence on Western countries towards a more balanced partnership with the Global South. The findings confirm that Prabowo's defense policy shows continuity from the previous period, but also brings innovation through a more pragmatic, independent and responsive approach to regional and global security challenges.

This study examines how colonial power is articulated through the form, spatial layout, and symbolism of Bogor Palace, and how post-independence transformations in function and discourse shape its new identity. As a colonial architectural legacy, Bogor Palace holds historical significance and reflects power dynamics, cultural representation, and spatial acculturation in both colonial and postcolonial contexts. The research highlights the importance of reassessing colonial architecture as a medium for representing power and ideology, especially in buildings that remain national symbols. Using a qualitative approach with literature review and visual analysis, the study applies Michel Foucault’s theory of power and discourse to reveal embedded power structures, and Erwin Panofsky’s iconography and iconology to decode visual symbols and meanings. Findings show that the neoclassical European style of the palace reflects colonial dominance, yet its adaptation through local materials, construction techniques, and climate-responsive elements indicates a complex process of acculturation. Initially marginal, local culture becomes integrated into the building’s design. After independence, the palace was resemanticized from a colonial icon to a national emblem, illustrating a shift in identity and power narratives. Today, restoration efforts not only preserve its historical value but also reaffirm role as a dynamic cultural space shaping Indonesia’s collective memory.

The Idrisid dynasty played a crucial role in the spread of Islam in Morocco during the late 8th century CE. Founded by Idris I, the dynasty successfully unified various Berber tribes under Islamic rule. Through political consolidation, social integration, and cultural development, the Idrisids strengthened the foundations of Islam in the region. They established key urban centers such as Fez, which became a major hub for Islamic scholarship and missionary activities. Their support for education, the construction of mosques, and the promotion of the Zaidi Shia school of thought significantly accelerated the Islamization process among the local population. This article examines the process of Islamic dissemination in Morocco by the Idrisid dynasty, the factors contributing to its success, and the religious and cultural legacy it left behind. Using a historical-analytical approach, the study highlights how the Idrisids not only facilitated the Islamization of Morocco but also laid the groundwork for the broader development of Islamic civilization in the Maghreb region.

The South China Sea is a strategic water area connecting East Asia, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, and is the main route for around 30 percent of international trade shipping. This area is also rich in energy resources, such as natural gas and petroleum. However, in recent decades, the South China Sea has become the center of territorial disputes due to unilateral maritime claims by China through the Nine Dash Line principle which covers up to 90 percent and is contrary to the Law of the Sea. China even builds artificial islands equipped with military infrastructure, which increases tensions in the region. Through the approach of the realism paradigm, as well as the theory of complex regional security and maritime security as well as literature analysis, this article discusses the implications of China's artificial island construction on maritime security in Southeast Asia, especially for countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam. This article emphasizes that China's actions have implications that greatly disrupt the stability of maritime security for countries in the region located in the South China Sea waters.

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) plays a crucial role in shaping the moral character of students at the elementary school level. However, learning methods used in IRE classrooms often remain conventional and teacher-centered, resulting in low student engagement and limited understanding of religious material. In response to the educational demands of the 21st century, a transformation in learning strategies is necessary. This study explores the implementation of active learning methods Card Sort, The Power of Two, and Snowballing as innovative approaches to revitalize IRE instruction. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were gathered through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and supporting documentation. The findings reveal that Card Sort enhances students’ ability to visually organize and connect religious concepts, The Power of Two facilitates deeper comprehension through peer discussion, and Snowballing promotes collaborative knowledge construction in stages. These methods contribute to a more interactive, student-centered, and meaningful learning process. Moreover, the integration of these strategies helps improve students' critical thinking, communication, and social-emotional skills while strengthening their internalization of Islamic values. Despite challenges such as instructional planning and classroom management, active learning techniques offer promising potential to transform IRE learning into a dynamic and participatory experience. The study provides practical recommendations for educators and school administrators to develop more effective and engaging IRE strategies.

The rapid advancement of technology today encourages every human being in matters related to the field of industrial or machinery needs, which has a function as a power transfer from the driving force (diesel engine or electric motor dynamo) to the engine to be driven, Gearbox is a component of a machineconsisting of a house for gears, In one of the uses of machine construction and in some components often involves professional welding techniques, one of which is welding using electric arc / Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), the selection of appropriate welding current parameters affects the strength and changes in the mechanical properties of a metal.

In the Im test test, the results of the NDT test were obtained.

This study investigates the effects of liquidity, activity, capital structure, and profitability on sustainable growth and firm value in heavy construction and civil engineering companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using data from 18 companies (2021–2023) and applying SEM-PLS analysis, results show that activity and profitability positively and significantly influence sustainable growth, while liquidity and capital structure do not. Sustainable growth significantly mediates the impact of activity on firm value but does not mediate the effects of capital structure or profitability. The study suggests that effective management of operational activities and profitability supports sustainable growth, which in turn enhances firm value. These findings offer insights for managers and investors to focus on sustainable growth strategies for long-term value creation in the Indonesian construction sector.

This study aims to evaluate the toll road development policy in Mojo, Kediri, and Tulungagung sub-districts, and analyze the social, economic, and environmental impacts caused. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study type. The results show that toll road development has a positive impact on the local economy, especially in improving connectivity and encouraging investment in the industrial and tourism sectors. However, social impacts such as community dislocation and accessibility inequality are significant challenges. In addition, environmental impacts such as ecosystem damage and air pollution also need more attention. While this policy is effective in achieving economic objectives, post-construction toll road management and maintenance still need to be improved.

This study examines the construction of adolescent identity in Falistiyana's novel Argantara through a sociological literary approach. Adolescent identity is the result of a process of searching for identity that takes place during the transition to adulthood and is greatly influenced by social factors, such as family, school, peers, and community norms. The Argantara novel depicts the complexity of adolescent life through its characters who experience social pressure in various forms, ranging from family expectations, social competition in the school environment, to stigma against differences in social background. This study found that social pressure is a significant factor in shaping and often limiting the expression of adolescent identity. However, the characters in the novel also show various resistance strategies, such as symbolic rebellion, selective adaptation, and the search for meaning through emotional relationships. Using Erikson's identity theory and Pierre Bourdieu's habitus concept, this study concludes that adolescent identity in Argantara is formed through the dialectic between social structure and individual agency. Literature, in this context, not only reflects the social reality of adolescents, but also becomes a medium to criticize the social pressures faced by the younger generation.

This study analyzes Red Bull advertisements as a form of visual propaganda that effectively constructs a brand image associated with extreme sports, bravery, and extraordinary achievement. The background of this research lies in the phenomenon of the increasing prevalence of visual content in modern marketing strategies, which not only sell products but also embed ideologies and social identities. Red Bull was selected as the object of study due to its consistent use of visual elements rich in symbolic and connotative meaning. This research employs a qualitative approach using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method, along with theories of visual propaganda and social identity. The findings reveal that Red Bull communicates its message not merely through images and slogans, but also through the construction of deep connotative meanings. The slogan “Red Bull Gives You Wings” instills a sense of hope in surpassing one's limits, while the use of extreme sports figures as testimonials reinforces the product's image as a symbol of high performance. These advertisements create a modern myth in which Red Bull is associated with courage and freedom, transforming it from a mere energy drink into a lifestyle identity. In the context of social identity, consumers are not only purchasing a product but also affirming themselves as members of an adventurous, active, and daring community. Thus, Red Bull successfully builds brand loyalty through a strong and symbolic visual narrative. This research emphasizes that today’s advertisements are inseparable from ideological functions and the social constructions they visually shape.  

This study aims to analyze the effect of investment decisions, capital structure, company size on profitability and Sustainable Growth, with profitability as a mediating variable and Financial Flexibility as a moderating variable. Data is obtained from secondary sources, namely audited financial reports from heavy construction and civil engineering subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2019-2023 period. The analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that investment decisions, capital structure, and company size have a significant effect on profitability. However, only company size has a significant effect on Sustainable Growth. Investment decisions and capital structure have no significant effect on Sustainable Growth. Profitability also has an insignificant effect on Sustainable Growth and does not mediate the relationship between variables. In addition, financial flexibility does not moderate the relationship between profitability and sustainable growth. This finding indicates that increased profitability is more influenced by investment strategy, capital structure, and firm scale, but does not necessarily translate directly into Sustainable Growth.

Islam prescribes marriage as a sacred and fundamental institution in human life, aiming to preserve dignity, lineage, and to build a harmonious (sakinah), loving (mawaddah), and compassionate (rahmah) family. In Islamic teachings, marriage can be conducted either monogamously or polygamously, with specific conditions. In Indonesia, polygamous practices are strictly regulated by various legal provisions, such as Law Number 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law. Nevertheless, polygamy remains a controversial issue in society, often carried out without fulfilling legal requirements, such as through unregistered (sirri) marriages. This phenomenon reflects a legal dualism between religious norms and state regulations. Furthermore, the social construction of polygamy shows that it is not merely a religious or legal issue, but also a product of social, cultural, economic dynamics, and the evolution of modern values. This study aims to explore how social construction shapes the perception and practice of polygamy and its implications for household harmony. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relevance of polygamy in contemporary society and its impact on family structure and child welfare.

Housing in the BSB (Bukit Semarang Baru) area, located right in front of the lake, offers an architectural idea that combines the comfort of modern housing with a natural touch. In this analysis, several important architectural elements such as the use of foot plate foundations, construction time, and the use of wood planks on the building facade are explored to understand how this design combines functional and aesthetic aspects. This study aims to analyze these elements, especially in relation to spatial planning, functionality, and aesthetics, as well as how the integration between building architecture with the elements of the lake and the surrounding green space. Through a qualitative approach and direct observation, this paper offers a critical view of the concept of sustainability applied in the design of this area.

This research conducts a juridical analysis of the problematic implementation of income tax on digital economic activities within Indonesia's taxation system. Digital transformation has altered the global economic landscape, yet the existing tax system has not fully accommodated the specific characteristics of the digital economy. This study aims to identify weaknesses in the income tax legal framework within the digital economy context and formulate an ideal construction for income tax regulation that can optimize tax revenue without impeding digital economic growth. The research employs a normative juridical methodology with statute approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. The findings indicate that current income tax provisions are ineffective in addressing digital economy challenges, particularly concerning concepts of income sources, permanent establishment, and monitoring mechanisms. The study recommends comprehensive reforms including redefinition of fundamental tax concepts, strengthening of the withholding tax system, development of tax information technology infrastructure, and harmonization with international standards. The ideal construction of income tax regulation must consider principles of legal certainty, fairness, administrative efficiency, and economic neutrality to create a taxation system adaptive to digital economic developments.

This research aims to analyze the construction of women's roles in the novel Gadis Kretek from a feminist perspective, while simultaneously identifying the representation of silenced women's voices. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data in the form of novel text excerpts were analyzed in depth using qualitative content analysis. The novel Gadis Kretek served as the primary data source, with data collection conducted through documentation, involving intensive reading and textual analysis. The researcher acted as the main instrument in this process. Data analysis was performed interactively following the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The research findings reveal diverse structures of silenced women's voices, including patriarchal structures in business and family spheres, social and cultural structures that reinforce women's subordination, narrative and historical structures that disregard women's contributions, and the silencing of emotions, self-agency. This analysis is expected to provide a critical understanding of feminist issues in Indonesian literature.

Determining the working and operational areas of a fishing port is very important because it strengthens the existence of a fishing port while supporting port operations. The purpose of this study is to determine the working and operational areas of the Untia fishing port based on the ratio of space utilization in land and water areas.

This study aims to identify and analyze syntactic errors made by students in their academic writing. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores in depth the forms of errors that appear and the general patterns formed in students' sentence structures. Data were obtained from various documents of students' academic writing, such as essays, papers, and observation reports. The results of the study indicate that the dominant syntactic errors include incomplete sentence construction, inappropriate use of conjunctions, the influence of regional languages in sentence structures, inaccuracy in phrase formation, and errors in the structure of subjects, predicates, and objects. These findings reflect students' weak mastery of Indonesian language syntax rules. Therefore, more effective learning strategies are needed, such as the use of discovery-based learning methods and providing direct feedback, to improve students' syntactic competence. Syntactic error analysis not only functions as an evaluation of language skills, but also as a basis for developing contextual and relevant teaching materials.
