This study examines the intellectual footprint of Nusantara scholars in the tradition of Qur'anic interpretation from classical to contemporary times. This study is motivated by the importance of understanding the role and contribution of Nusantara scholars in building a distinctive and contextual style of interpretation with local culture. The purpose of this study is to trace the development of methods, styles, and approaches to interpretation used by scholars from time to time. The method used is qualitative with a literature study approach through analysis of exegetical works such as Tarjuman al-Mustafid by Abdur Rauf as-Singkili, Tafsir Al-Munir by Nawawi al-Bantani, Tafsir Al-Furqon by Al-Hasan, Tafsir Al-Qur'an Karim by Prof. Dr. H. Mahmud Yunus, Tafsir Al-Azhar by Hamka, to Tafsir al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab. The research results show that during the classical period, interpretation focused on spirituality and spirituality, while in the modern and contemporary eras, interpretations have developed that emphasize the maqasid al-shari'ah (purpose of law). They focus not only on literal meaning but also on universal wisdom and objectives. This development reflects the continuity between the global Islamic scholarly tradition and the local socio-cultural realities of the Indonesian archipelago. Interpretations of the Quran by Indonesian scholars not only enrich the global Islamic heritage but also demonstrate that Islam is capable of dialogue with cultural and contemporary contexts without losing its universal values.

This study explores how Generation Z constructs work values and meaning in modern organizations shaped by digitalization and social transformation. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach under a social constructivist paradigm, the research investigates the lived experiences of young professionals in the digital, creative, and startup sectors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participant observation and analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Moustakas, 1994). Findings show that Generation Z defines work through three interrelated dimensions: (1) intrinsic motivation grounded in personal purpose and self-expression, (2) redefined productivity emphasizing creativity and emotional balance rather than quantitative output, and (3) job satisfaction derived from inclusive culture and adaptive leadership. These results support Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) and Social Constructionism (Berger & Luckmann, 1966), showing that work meaning is socially constructed rather than objectively given. Overall, the study concludes that for Generation Z, work represents not merely economic activity but a medium for identity, contribution, and personal growth, urging organizations to embrace meaning-centered and value-driven leadership to enhance engagement and fulfillment.

This study is grounded in the Marketing Mix Theory (4P) proposed by McCarthy, which explains that marketing performance is influenced by the effective integration of product, price, place, and promotion strategies. The purpose of this study is to analyze and empirically examine the effect of the 4P marketing mix—product strategy, pricing strategy, place strategy, and promotion strategy—on increasing sales of mobile coffee businesses using electric bicycle carts in Semarang City. A quantitative research approach was employed using an accidental sampling technique, with respondents consisting of consumers who met the research criteria and were encountered directly in the field. Primary data were collected through questionnaire distribution, resulting in 85 valid respondents. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, including validity tests, reliability tests, and classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity). Hypothesis testing was performed using multiple linear regression analysis, partial tests (t-test), simultaneous tests (F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that product strategy and pricing strategy have a positive and significant effect on increasing mobile coffee sales. Place strategy also shows a significant influence on sales performance, highlighting the importance of mobility and strategic selling locations. Furthermore, promotion strategy has a positive and significant effect on sales increase. Simultaneously, the F-test results confirm that product, price, place, and promotion strategies collectively have a significant effect on increasing mobile coffee sales using electric bicycle carts in Semarang City. These findings support the applicability of the Marketing Mix Theory (4P) in explaining sales performance in mobile and small-scale coffee businesses.

Advances in in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology have expanded the scope of reproductive interventions, from simply addressing infertility to enabling genetic selection of embryos through preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). This advancement not only enables the detection and prevention of severe genetic diseases, but also opens up opportunities for the selection of non-medical traits such as intelligence potential, physical characteristics, or specific polygenic scores, giving rise to the phenomenon of “designer babies.” This development presents complex bioethical issues related to human dignity, social justice, biological safety, and the right of children to have an open future. This paper aims to analyze the ethical issues of selecting non-medical characteristics of embryos in modern IVF through a literature review using a biomedical ethics framework, including the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The findings show that the application of technology for non-medical purposes is still fraught with scientific risks, biological uncertainties, the potential for commercialization of humans, and the threat of socio-biological inequality. This analysis emphasizes the need to restrict the use of technology to clear medical indications, increase regulation and governance, and involve the public in policy formulation. Thus, advances in reproductive technology must be accompanied by strict ethical considerations so as not to sacrifice individual dignity and the value of justice in society.

This article theologically analyzes the Christian doctrine of creation, highlighting the nature of God as Creator and its implications for human understanding of the world, the self, and the relationship with God. Creation is understood not merely as the initial event of the cosmos but also as God’s continuous act of sustaining, preserving, and directing all creation toward His divine purpose. Through a study of biblical texts and the reflections of classical theologians such as Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin, this paper explores the concepts of creatio ex nihilo, the orderliness of creation, and the dignity of humanity as the image of God (imago Dei). This article also outlines how the doctrine of creation provides an ethical foundation for ecological responsibility, the sanctity of life, and respect for others in the context of contemporary challenges marked by moral crises and environmental degradation. The analysis shows that the doctrine of creation remains relevant for today’s faith, emphasizing that the world derives its meaning from God and that humanity is called to participate with God in caring for creation. Thus, this study offers a comprehensive understanding of the significance of the doctrine of creation for Christian faith and ethical practice in contemporary life.  

Using a systematic literature review approach to various previously published studies, this research investigates the influence of consumer nationalism on the intention to purchase domestic products. The purpose of this study is to find patterns of results, influencing components, and the impact of consumer nationalism on their behavior when purchasing local products. Data were collected from articles in relevant national and international journals, particularly those discussing ideas about consumer nationalism, consumer ethnocentrism, and factors determining purchase intention. The findings of the study indicate that consumer nationalism has a positive and significant effect on consumers' intention to purchase domestic goods. A number of variables, including product quality perceptions, price sensitivity, cosmopolitanism levels, and consumer demographics, especially Generation Z, who tend to be involved in the digital world, influence this effect. In addition, this study found that customer awareness, attitudes, and preferences towards local products are influenced by social media and digital campaigns such as the Bangga Buatan Indonesia (Proudly Made in Indonesia) program. The results of this study provide strategic benefits for businesses when they develop marketing plans based on the value of nationalism. These results can also be used as a reference for public policies aimed at increasing consumption and competitiveness of domestic products through the implementation of such policies.

The purpose of this study was to examine how problem-based mathematics learning affected the learning interest of 5- to 6-year-old students at the Ki Hajar Dewantara State Kindergarten in South Jakarta. To compare problem-based mathematics learning and conventional learning, this study used a quantitative method and a quasi-experimental design. Problem-based learning is intended to use mathematical problems in children's daily lives. Children in group B were divided into experimental and control groups. To collect data, structured observations were conducted on elements of children's interest in learning. These included enjoyment, focus, activity, and willingness to participate in learning activities. To determine the difference in the level of interest in learning between the two groups, the data obtained was analyzed statistically. The results showed that, compared to conventional learning, problem-based mathematics learning had a significant effect on increasing children's interest in learning. Children showed more enthusiasm, better concentration, active involvement in activities, and critical thinking skills in solving mathematical problems. The results showed that effective problem-based mathematics learning made learning meaningful, enjoyable, and appropriate for the characteristics of early childhood development.

The purpose of this study was to determine how puzzle games affect the problem-solving abilities of early childhood children. This study used quantitative methods and a quasi-experimental design. The study involved children aged 4 to 6 years from various early childhood education institutions (PAUD). Purposive sampling was used to collect samples. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests of problem-solving abilities and observations of children's behavior while playing puzzles. Logical thinking, creativity, concentration, focus, use of problem-solving strategies, and willingness to learn were all metrics used for assessment. To determine the differences in abilities before and after treatment, the collected data were analyzed statistically. The results of the study showed that puzzle game intervention improved children's problem-solving abilities. Children learned to identify problems, make plans for solutions, and work independently. In addition, it was proven that puzzle games as a learning medium were more effective with the help and guidance of teachers and parents. According to this study, puzzle games are an effective tool for developing the cognitive, social, and emotional abilities of early childhood.

One of the most profitable horticultural crops, but it spoils quickly due to its high water content. Processing chili peppers with a disc mill into chili powder is a great way to increase the added value of the product while extending its shelf life. The purpose of this study was to determine how the blade rotation speed and amount of material affected the production time of chili powder in an FFC15 Disc Mill. The blade rotation speed varied between 2100 rpm and 3500 rpm, and the amount of material varied between 5% and 500 g. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis to determine the effect of each component and their relationship with each other. The results showed that the blade rotation speed and the amount of material had a significant effect on the production time of chili powder. However, the relationship between these two factors did not have a significant effect. The best operating conditions were achieved with 500 grams of material and a speed of 3500 rpm, which resulted in the fastest production time of 4.367 minutes.

This study examines the modern Islamic thought developed by Amin Abdullah, particularly through the concept of integrative and interconnective Islam. The main issue discussed is the fragmentation between religious sciences (naqliyah) and modern sciences (‘aqliyah) in the contemporary Islamic knowledge corpus. The purpose of this research is to analyze Amin Abdullah’s efforts in reconstructing the epistemology of Islamic knowledge through the integration of these two domains of knowledge. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a literature study method, analyzing Amin Abdullah's key works and relevant academic discourses. The results show that the integrative-interconnective paradigm offered by Amin Abdullah provides a holistic framework for understanding Islam in the modern era. This approach encourages a dialogical relationship between religion, science, and social reality, ensuring that Islamic thought remains relevant and dynamic amidst global changes. The study concludes that Amin Abdullah's perspective makes a significant contribution to the renewal of Islamic scholarship by bridging tradition and modernity. Thus, this integrative-interconnective perspective is expected to enrich the development of Islamic thought in a more inclusive and open manner.

Narcotics are a frightening scourge on society. Drug use is a pathological behavior that is harmful both to the individual and to society. The widespread use of drugs in Indonesia prompted the government to issue Law No. 35 of 2009 on narcotics, which includes provisions for the rehabilitation of individuals who abuse drugs. Rehabilitation is an effort to enable a person to function normally without addiction to addictive substances. One of the institutions that carries out rehabilitation related to addictive substances is the Sahabat Sehat Rekan Sebaya Jakarta Foundation. This foundation uses art therapy as a rehabilitation method. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the art therapy process as a rehabilitation effort at the foundation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, document reviews, and observations using purposive sampling as the informant selection technique. The results of this study show that the rehabilitation process begins with assessment, detoxification, and art therapy, both primary and re-entry, as well as aftercare or monitoring. The results show that rehabilitation using the art therapy method has successfully restored the physical, psychological, and social conditions of former drug users. They are physically fit, not easily tired, and able to control their sleeping hours. Psychologically, they are not anxious and are able to express themselves and their feelings through art, and socially, they began to reconnect with people they had previously cut off due to feelings of shame and lack of confidence.

Ecclesiology and the church's calling amidst the development of the times marked by increasingly dynamic social, cultural, technological, and lifestyle changes. The background of the problem in this paper departs from the fact that the church often faces challenges in maintaining its theological identity while responding to the demands of the modern era, so that a contextual and relevant understanding of ecclesiology is needed. The research method used is a qualitative method with a library research approach, namely reviewing and analyzing various library sources such as the Bible, theological books, scientific journals, and church documents related to ecclesiology and the role of the church. The purpose of writing this article is to re-examine the nature of the church from a theological perspective and formulate the church's calling to remain faithful to God's mission amidst the changing times. The benefits of this paper are expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of church theology studies and become material for practical reflection for the church in carrying out its duties of fellowship, service, witness, and diakonia in a relevant, contextual, and responsible manner in modern society.

This study examines the role of social media, particularly Twitter, as a digital da’wah medium that is fast, interactive, and easily accessible to users. However, the extent to which the use of Twitter can enhance communication confidence among students still requires empirical validation. The focus of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of Twitter use in influencing students’ communication abilities, especially in delivering da’wah messages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of Twitter usage on the communication confidence of students from the 2020 cohort. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. Data were collected through a structured, scale-based questionnaire, in accordance with the positivistic research paradigm that emphasizes objective and measurable hypothesis testing. The research population consisted of 62 students, from which 38 respondents were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling to ensure representation across all population strata. The findings reveal that the use of Twitter has a significant effect on the communication confidence of KPI IAI Al-Azis students from the 2020 cohort in delivering da’wah messages. Regression analysis results show a significance value of 0.050 < 0.05, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.614, indicating a strong relationship. These results suggest that the more frequently students engage with Twitter, the greater their confidence in expressing and disseminating da’wah messages through various digital formats such as text, images, and videos. Twitter thus provides an expressive platform that fosters interaction, encourages participation, and strengthens students’ digital da’wah communication skills.

This study is entitled "The Role of the Indonesian Transport Workers Federation (FSPTI) in Defending the Rights of Stevedoring Workers (TKBM) in Padangsidimpuan City". The background of this study is based on the importance of the existence of trade unions as a forum for workers' struggle in protecting and fighting for the normative rights of workers as guaranteed in Law Number 21 of 2000 concerning Workers' Unions/Labor Unions. In practice, many workers still face employment problems due to their weak bargaining position, lack of legal awareness, and low protection from employers. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the role of the FSPTI of Padangsidimpuan City in defending the rights of Stevedoring Workers, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of Law Number 21 of 2000 on the implementation of trade union functions at the regional level. The research method used is empirical juridical, with a qualitative approach that combines primary data through interviews, as well as secondary data through literature reviews of laws and regulations and related legal literature. The research results indicate that the Padangsidimpuan FSPTI plays a strategic role in advancing the interests of TKBM workers through advocacy, legal assistance, and negotiations with employers and local governments. However, the implementation of Law Number 21 of 2000 has not been fully effective due to challenges such as limited resources, low participant participation, and weak enforcement of labor laws. Overall, the FSPTI has made maximum efforts to advocate for the rights of TKBM workers, but further government support and organizational capacity building are needed to further optimize the union's function.

Land registration is a crucial mechanism in realizing legal certainty over land rights, particularly land with ownership status (hak milik). The Basic Agrarian Law (Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria/UUPA) Number 5 of 1960 explicitly regulates land registration as an effort to provide legal protection and certainty of rights for landowners. The purpose of this study is to understand the procedures of land registration for ownership rights to ensure legal certainty for landholders, as well as to identify the obstacles encountered in the registration process that hinder the achievement of such certainty. This study employs a normative legal research method by examining primary and secondary legal materials. The research focuses on analyzing regulations related to land registration to provide legal certainty, in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960 and its implementing regulations, such as Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. The findings of this study indicate that the procedures for land registration both sporadic and systematic (through the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program or PTSL) function to ensure legal certainty and protect ownership rights. However, several challenges arise in its implementation, including low public awareness, land disputes or overlapping ownership claims, limited resources at land offices, and financial and time constraints. Therefore, to achieve the intended objectives, improvements in the administrative system of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) are required, along with increased public awareness regarding the importance of land certification.

This study is motivated by the increasing dynamics of criminal activity within the jurisdiction of the East Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (Polda NTT), characterized by regional variations and complex causal factors. Conventional crimes such as assault, theft, and mob violence dominate the crime landscape and significantly affect social stability. The purpose of this research is to analyze the patterns, causes, and crime control strategies implemented by Polda NTT in maintaining public security and order. The study employs an empirical legal approach using a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative analysis of crime statistics with qualitative interviews involving police officers. Data were obtained from the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimum) of Polda NTT and cover all police jurisdictions, including one city police department and twenty-one district police offices. Findings reveal that crime rates in NTT are strongly influenced by social, economic, cultural, and geographical factors. The most prevalent crimes include assault, ordinary theft, traffic accidents, and mob violence. Major contributing factors consist of a local culture of violence, alcohol consumption, economic hardship, and low legal literacy. Polda NTT’s strategies involve preventive measures (routine patrols and public legal education), repressive actions (law enforcement and offender guidance), and humanistic approaches such as the Jumat Curhat program, which facilitates direct dialogue with the community.

The study concluded that there is a relationship between maternal nutritional status and menarche history with early menarche. It is recommended that SDN 01 Nagrak Gunung Putri Bogor collaborate with the nearest community health center and the Health College to conduct outreach activities on reproductive health.

Outpatient services at community health centers experience a high and dynamic service burden influenced by evolving disease patterns in the community. However, the use of disease pattern data to support outpatient service management remains limited and is often restricted to administrative reporting purposes. This community service activity aimed to enhance the capacity of health workers and managers at Darussalam Community Health Center to utilize disease pattern data as a basis for managing outpatient service burden. A community-based participatory approach was applied through mentoring, training, and hands-on practice in data analysis using routine data from the Integrated Recording and Reporting System of Community Health Centers (SP2TP). The subjects of the activity were health workers and managerial staff at Darussalam Community Health Center. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ understanding and ability to analyze disease pattern data, reflected by an increase in average knowledge scores from a moderate to a high category. Behavioral changes were also observed, including increased data-based discussions, the emergence of internal change agents (local leaders), and the development of collective awareness regarding the importance of data-driven outpatient service management. This community service activity contributed to strengthening outpatient service management and fostering a data-driven work culture at Darussalam Community Health Center.
