Background: Pargarutan Julu Village, East Angkola District, South Tapanuli does not yet have a waste disposal site (TPS), causing residents to habitually dump waste into rivers and burn it around residential areas. In addition, the lack of knowledge about natural disaster mitigation is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently. Objective: This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge and awareness through education on waste management (sorting organic and inorganic waste, impacts of river pollution, and the 3R principle: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and natural disaster preparedness (floods and fires). Methods: The activity was conducted outdoors in the village at night using lecture, PowerPoint presentation, and interactive discussion methods, involving 35 participants consisting of children and village residents of Pargarutan Julu. Results: The activity showed high enthusiasm from participants, with many questions raised during the interactive discussion sessions. There was an increase in community understanding of the importance of waste sorting, the dangers of dumping waste into rivers, the application of the 3R principle, and steps for preparedness against flood and fire disasters. Conclusion: The participatory outdoor educational approach effectively improved knowledge and awareness of Pargarutan Julu Village residents regarding proper waste management and natural disaster preparedness, and encouraged sustainable behavioral change in the community.

Corporate insolvency regimes have long been designed around efficiency, creditor recovery, and procedural certainty, frequently marginalizing the human, social, and distributive consequences of corporate failure. This qualitative literature review seeks to reconceptualize insolvency as a multidimensional institutional process by integrating the principles of humanity, resilience, and equity, with the objective of developing fairness metrics for more inclusive insolvency systems. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship from insolvency law, corporate governance, economic sociology, and normative political theory, this study systematically synthesizes peer reviewed literature published between 2000 and 2024 using a structured qualitative thematic analysis. The review identifies three interrelated dimensions shaping inclusive insolvency outcomes. First, humanity-oriented approaches emphasize stakeholder vulnerability, dignity preservation, and procedural justice, particularly for employees, involuntary creditors, small suppliers, and local communities affected by corporate collapse. Second, resilience based perspectives frame insolvency not merely as an endpoint of failure but as an adaptive governance mechanism that enables organizational recovery, institutional learning, and broader systemic stability. Third, equity focused frameworks highlight the importance of proportional and context sensitive loss allocation, stakeholder participation, and intertemporal fairness in distributing the economic and social costs of insolvency. By integrating these dimensions, the study develops a conceptual framework of fairness metrics that extends beyond traditional efficiency-driven indicators, offering normative and analytical tools for evaluating insolvency systems in a more holistic manner. The findings contribute to insolvency scholarship by bridging fragmented theoretical strands and advancing a human-centered and resilience oriented understanding of corporate failure. The review further suggests that insolvency regimes embedding humanity, resilience, and equity are more likely to enhance institutional legitimacy, stakeholder trust, and long term economic sustainability, thereby providing a robust foundation for future empirical research and policy reform.

The development of information and communication technology has significantly transformed the field of education. Teachers no longer depend only on lectures to deliver learning materials but also use various learning media to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. One of the most widely used innovations is interactive learning media, which combines text, images, audio, video, and other interactive features to support student learning. Interactive learning media can create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment. Through this media, students actively participate in learning activities rather than simply receiving information passively. As a result, their attention, motivation, and understanding of the learning materials can improve. However, low student learning outcomes remain a challenge in education. Limited student involvement in the learning process often affects their ability to understand lessons and achieve learning objectives. Previous studies have indicated that interactive learning media can enhance both the quality of learning and student achievement. Therefore, examining the influence of interactive learning media on student learning outcomes is important to support the development of more effective, innovative, and technology-based learning processes in the digital era.

One of the most significant foods for the people of Indonesia, tempeh is made mostly from soybeans. Soybean quality selection is still mostly done by hand, relying on eye inspection and the expertise of business actors. This may cause subjective evaluations, lengthy decision-making processes, and uneven outcomes. With the TOPSIS technique as its foundation, this project intends to construct a Decision Support System (DSS) for selecting high-quality soybeans. Color, texture, price, scent, and flavor are some of the evaluation criteria. Observations and interviews were conducted in Rumah Tempe A-Zaki Padang to gather data for the research. Ranking the options according to how close they were to the positive ideal solution and how far away from the negative ideal solution was done using the TOPSIS approach. In terms of preference values, the Green Soybean option came out on top with 0.9692, followed by Black Soybeans with 0.2335, Yellow Soybeans with 0.1516, and Brown Soybeans with 0.1181. Based on these outcomes, it seems that TOPSIS can indeed provide objective suggestions for soybean selection according to a number of different standards. Business players in the tempeh industry may benefit from this decision support system by using it to choose high-quality soybean raw materials more efficiently and accurately.

This study explores the role of Islamic economic law in promoting sustainable development by establishing an integrated relationship between ethical values, legal frameworks, and public policy. Although sustainable development has emerged as a major global agenda, its implementation continues to face challenges due to the limitations of conventional economic and legal systems, which often prioritize efficiency and economic growth while overlooking ethical and social dimensions. Employing a qualitative research approach through content analysis, this study examines classical Islamic jurisprudence, contemporary scholarly literature, and relevant policy documents to analyze the alignment between Islamic economic principles and sustainability frameworks. The findings demonstrate that Islamic economic law provides a comprehensive and ethically oriented framework based on fundamental principles, including tawhid (unity), adl (justice), maslahah (public interest), and maqasid al-shariah (objectives of Islamic law). These principles are manifested through various institutional and legal instruments, such as zakat, waqf, and risk-sharing financial mechanisms, which contribute to social justice, economic inclusion, financial resilience, and environmental sustainability.

This study contributes to the advancement of Islamic social finance discourse by developing a conceptual framework for a digitally integrated zakat governance model within the agricultural sector. The study addresses a critical gap between productive zakat practices and the emerging landscape of digital agricultural transformation. While previous research has largely focused on the redistributive function of zakat as a mechanism for poverty alleviation, limited scholarly attention has been directed toward its potential transformation into a technology-enabled and productivity-oriented instrument that supports sustainable development objectives. Employing a qualitative research approach through content analysis, this study synthesizes interdisciplinary perspectives from Islamic economics, zakat governance, agricultural technology innovation, and digital sustainability studies. The study proposes a Digital Farming Zakat Platform framework consisting of five interconnected dimensions: geospatial-based beneficiary identification, smart farming empowerment, sharia-compliant financial mechanisms, agricultural market integration, and data-driven monitoring systems.

This study investigates the practice of the accounting profession with the aim of identifying the key threats and challenges that hinder its development in Nigeria. To achieve this objective, three hypotheses were formulated and tested using the chi-square statistical technique to examine the relationship between identified challenges and the development of accounting practice in the country. The study drew on the perceptions of key stakeholders in the accounting field, namely academic accountants, professional accountants, and accounting regulators. Primary data were collected and analyzed, and the results revealed that the accounting profession is confronted with significant challenges that negatively influence its growth and development. The study concludes that these constraints may pose serious risks to the future advancement of the profession in Nigeria. It therefore recommends that academic and professional accountants should remain committed and proactive in advancing accounting knowledge and practice, while regulatory bodies should ensure objectivity, transparency, and fairness in the formulation and enforcement of accounting standards and regulations

Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) has become a key objective of English language education; however, its implementation in Indonesia remains insufficiently understood. This study investigates the alignment between ICC expectations in the Kurikulum Merdeka, English textbooks, and classroom practices in Indonesian senior high schools. An exploratory sequential mixed methods design was employed, involving document analysis of four government-issued English textbooks for grades X–XII, classroom observations in 15 schools across three provinces, a survey of 87 English teachers, and in-depth interviews with 18 teachers and 36 students. The findings reveal a three-level gap. First, the curriculum acknowledges ICC but lacks clear and measurable operational guidelines. Second, textbooks predominantly emphasize Anglo-American culture (64.8% of cultural content) while providing limited representation of Indonesian and global cultures. Third, 78.2% of teachers reported not explicitly integrating cultural dimensions into English instruction, resulting in stereotypical and culturally limited classroom practices. To address these issues, the study proposes the Triangulated Cultural Literacy (TCL) framework, integrating reflection on learners’ own culture, balanced exploration of target cultures, and intercultural negotiation. The findings highlight the need to operationalize ICC in the curriculum, improve textbook cultural representation, and strengthen teachers’ intercultural pedagogical competence.

Teacher performance evaluation is a crucial factor in improving educational quality, but many schools still conduct it manually and subjectively, resulting in less transparent, time‑consuming, and error‑prone outcomes. This study aims to design and develop a web‑based decision support system using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method for selecting the best teacher at MTs Mambaul Ulum. The system was developed using the Waterfall model with the Laravel 12 framework and MySQL database, incorporating two evaluator roles: the principal (assessing 5 criteria: teaching hours, responsibility, mastery of material, personality, and attendance) and the vice principal (assessing 4 criteria excluding personality). Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document review. System testing employed Black Box Testing and accuracy validation by comparing system outputs with manual Excel calculations. The results show that the SAW method effectively ranks teachers objectively, with Kusyanti achieving the highest score of 0.9450. The system attained 100% accuracy, as no difference was found between manual and system calculations. Moreover, the system reduced evaluation time from days to seconds and provides well‑documented results, thus supporting more transparent and accountable decision‑making. Therefore, this system proves to be reliable, objective, and efficient in assisting school administrators in evaluating teacher performance in a structured and fair manner.

This study examines plant water requirement management in urban farming using an automatic drip irrigation system. The system consists of 20 reused 1.5-liter bottles as water reservoirs and 20 emitters as drip control valves. The experiment was conducted on two planting beds, namely basil and mustard greens, with drip settings of 60, 125, and 180 drops. Before operation, calibration and correction factors were applied to ensure that the design discharge matched field conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the drip irrigation layout model and plant water requirements over 37 days. The layout used a parallel arrangement of three rows of plants with two rows of irrigation devices placed between them. Water demand was calculated using the radiation method based on daily evapotranspiration (ETo), considering latitude, altitude, temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity data. The results showed that ETo ranged from 8.51 to 8.84 mm/day, equivalent to 38.937 to 40.094 liters/day. After applying correction factors for each drip setting, the actual water requirement indicated surplus water stored in the soil and used for plant growth. The study concludes that drip irrigation management must account for residual soil water so that evapotranspiration demand during sunlight exposure is continuously met

This study discusses the concept of polygamy from the perspectives of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia, focusing on the principles of justice and its impact on women and families. Polygamy is one of the issues in fiqh munakahat that continues to generate debate because it is considered closely related to patriarchal culture, gender inequality, and violence against women. This study aims to analyze the legal basis of polygamy in the Qur’an, the views of scholars of tafsir and fiqh regarding polygamy, as well as the regulation of polygamy in Indonesian legislation. This study employs a library research method with a normative-sociological approach. Data sources were obtained from books of tafsir, fiqh, hadith, Islamic legal literature, and laws and regulations related to marriage in Indonesia. The findings indicate that Islam permits polygamy under very strict conditions, particularly regarding the husband’s ability to act justly both materially and emotionally. However, justice in emotional aspects and affection is considered very difficult for ordinary people to achieve, as emphasized in Qur'an Surah An-Nisa verse 129. In Indonesian positive law, the primary principle of marriage is monogamy, while polygamy is only permitted under certain circumstances with administrative requirements and court approval. This study concludes that the practice of polygamy in the modern era should be understood contextually by considering aspects of public welfare (maslahah), the protection of women’s rights, family justice, and the primary objectives of Islamic law in establishing a harmonious family characterized by sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah.

Evaluating food portions and types in the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program is generally still performed manually, which is time-consuming and potentially subjective. This study aims to develop an automated deep learning-based system to efficiently detect food types and estimate their nutritional value. The method used is a quantitative experiment integrating the YOLOv11m architecture for real-time object detection and the Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Large Language Model (LLM) for contextual nutritional estimation reasoning. The model training utilized a dataset of 2,630 food tray images categorized into five classes (fruit, side dish, staple food, vegetable, milk) that had undergone an augmentation process. The results showed that the YOLOv11m model achieved excellent performance with a mean Average Precision (mAP@0.5) of 0.9727 and the highest F1-score of 0.9522 at a confidence threshold of 0.1. Furthermore, validation of the LLM integration demonstrated a high prediction agreement rate of 85%. In conclusion, the combination of the YOLOv11m algorithm and LLM reasoning is capable of detecting and validating nutritional classification quickly and precisely, showing strong potential as an objective nutritional evaluation monitoring solution for large-scale MBG program implementation.

Background: Adolescence is often characterized as a period of puberty. Early menarche is associated with increased mortality and morbidity risks in later life among girls who experience menarche at an early age. Menarche is the first menstrual event in girls, marked by the shedding of the uterine lining and vaginal bleeding. The tendency to consume unhealthy foods, particularly fast food, as well as sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), may have adverse effects on health and potentially influence the timing of menarche. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between healthy food selection, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and the incidence of early menarche. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 30 female students. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: The results showed that healthy food selection was significantly associated with the incidence of early menarche (p = 0.005) with a moderate correlation strength (ρ = 0.449). Similarly, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was significantly associated with the incidence of menarche (p = 0.000) and demonstrated a very strong correlation (ρ = 0.841). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between healthy food selection and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with the incidence of menarche. Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption showed a stronger relationship with menarche incidence compared to healthy food selection.

The optimization of road alignment has become increasingly important due to the continuous growth in traffic volume and the rising demand for efficient travel time. Road optimization considers several key factors, including traffic volume, population growth, and regional development, to ensure that transportation infrastructure remains functional and capable of meeting future mobility demands. The Malang–Batu corridor is characterized by mountainous terrain and hilly topography, requiring an appropriate geometric road design to determine the shortest feasible route while maintaining compliance with the Indonesian Bina Marga geometric design standards. This study developed a geometric road alignment model by applying Bina Marga specifications, in which the first horizontal curve was designed using the Spiral–Circle–Spiral (SCS) configuration, the second curve employed the Spiral–Spiral (SS) configuration, and the third curve utilized the Spiral–Circle–Spiral (SCS) configuration. The primary objective of this study was to determine the minimum achievable route length through variations in horizontal alignment parameters. The modeling results indicate that the shortest route length obtained was 1,101.17 m. The optimal horizontal alignment consisted of an SCS curve at Point A, an SS curve at Point B, and an SCS curve at Point C, whereas the vertical alignment followed the existing terrain conditions, incorporating both crest and sag vertical curves. These findings demonstrate that optimizing horizontal alignment parameters can effectively minimize route length while satisfying the geometric design requirements established by the Bina Marga standards.

Introduction: The Beyond Use Date (BUD) is the expiration date for a drug product after its primary packaging has been opened, mixed, or prepared. The BUD differs from the expiration date printed on the manufacturer's packaging and is not always listed on the drug, so many people still don't fully understand this concept.Objective: To evaluate the level of knowledge of Prolanis patients regarding the Beyond Use Date (BUD) at the Purwokerto Utara I Community Health Center before and after being given counseling. Methods: A quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional design was used on 20 Prolanis patient respondents. Primary data collection consisted of questionnaires administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the lecture-based counseling using flyers. Data analysis was performed using univariate analysis. Results: The level of knowledge of Prolanis patients regarding Beyond Use Date before counseling showed that the majority were in the poor category with 16 respondents (80.0%) and the sufficient category with 4 respondents (20.0%). After being given counseling, there was an increase in the good category with 6 respondents (30.0%), but the majority were still in the poor category with 14 respondents (70.0%).Conclusion: The level of knowledge of Prolanis patients regarding Beyond Use Date (BUD) at Purwokerto Utara I Health Center before counseling was mostly in the poor category, and after counseling there was an increase although most were still in the poor category.

This study investigates the role of Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT) in empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through the integration of Maqashid Sharia principles and financial inclusion strategies. Despite the strategic importance of MSMEs in economic growth and poverty reduction, many face challenges in accessing formal financial services. BMT, with its dual function of social (maal) and commercial (tamwil) activities, offers a unique platform to bridge this gap. Using a qualitative systematic literature review guided by PRISMA, this study analyzes 30 relevant articles to examine BMT operational models, implementation of Maqashid Sharia objectives, financial inclusion practices, and their impact on MSME performance. Findings indicate that BMT effectively supports MSMEs in capital access, income generation, and business resilience, but inconsistencies in balancing social and commercial objectives limit. holistic empowerment. Integrating Maqashid Sharia principles enhances ethical and sustainable outcomes, while financial inclusion expands outreach to underserved entrepreneurs. Optimization strategies, including strengthening institutional capacity, combining financial and non-financial support, and context-specific interventions, are essential for maximizing BMT effectiveness. This study contributes a comprehensive framework linking ethical, financial, and empowerment dimensions, offering practical guidance for policymakers and BMT managers in promoting inclusive and sustainable MSME development.
