The wound healing duration in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients is influenced by factors such as age, nutritional status, blood sugar levels, diet adherence, physical activity, and medication compliance. In diabetic foot ulcer cases, healing is often impaired, increasing the risk of amputation if not properly managed. This study investigates factors affecting wound healing duration in DM patients at Hanifah Pratama Clinic, Tangerang City. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, with a sample of 40 DM patients with diabetic foot ulcers selected through total sampling. Instruments included weight scales and height meters for nutritional status, Easy Touch® GCU for blood glucose levels, the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) for medication compliance, and the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) for wound assessment. Data analysis utilized the Chi-Square bivariate test and backward logistic regression multivariate test. Results showed that nutritional status significantly influenced wound healing duration (p < 0.05), with an OR of 28.884 (95% CI 2.760-302.240), indicating that patients with good nutritional status are 28.884 times more likely to heal faster. In conclusion, nutritional status is the dominant factor affecting wound healing duration in DM patients at Hanifah Pratama Clinic. This study highlights the importance of improving treatment quality and wound care while encouraging better nutritional interventions in diabetic foot ulcer management.

Aqidah, sebagai pokok ajaran dalam Islam, berperan penting dalam membentuk pandangan hidup dan perilaku seorang Muslim. Di sisi lain, filsafat ilmu merupakan cabang filsafat yang mengkaji hakikat, metode, dan batasan ilmu pengetahuan yang berbasis rasionalitas dan empirisme. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau hubungan antara aqidah dan filsafat ilmu dengan mengeksplorasi potensi integrasi keduanya. Dalam kajian ini, aqidah dipahami sebagai bentuk pengetahuan yang bersumber dari wahyu, sementara filsafat ilmu memberikan kerangka analitis untuk memahami pengetahuan berdasarkan logika dan pengalaman. Meskipun tampak bertentangan, aqidah dan filsafat ilmu dapat bertemu melalui pengakuan terhadap peran akal dan wahyu dalam pencarian kebenaran.

Corruption crimes are not only committed by civilians, but can be committed by military soldiers, namely the TNI who are educated with discipline. The handling of corruption cases committed by TNI soldiers together with civilians is handled through a connexity trial regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code. Although there are rules governing, there are still discrepancies in law enforcement. The main problems in this study are: (1) Is it appropriate for corruption cases committed by military officials to be tried in the Military Court? (2) What are the obstacles in law enforcement against high-ranking military officials who commit corruption crimes?This research is normative legal research, namely by examining literature or legal materials consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. Normative legal research is a scientific research procedure to find the truth based on the logic of legal science from its normative side. The results of this study indicate that: (1) is it appropriate for corruption cases by military officials to be tried in the Military Court: The handling of corruption cases in Basarnas involving active military personnel who are tried in military courts is considered inappropriate because it will create an impression of inconsistent law enforcement, because it contradicts the provisions of Law No.8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code and Law No.48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. (2) Obstacles in law enforcement against high-ranking military officials who commit corruption crimes: Corruption crimes involving active military members stem from disharmonization of laws in the provisions of the Military Justice Law, Corruption Court Law, TNI Law, KPK Law, and Criminal Procedure Code. The researcher's suggestion is that to minimize the differences of opinion that continue to emerge, an extensive regulation on connexity should be made so that it can serve as a guideline in handling corruption cases involving military personnel and civil society.

This abstract will discuss the three main currents in modernism that emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, namely Rationalism, Empiricism, and Materialism. These three schools have had a major influence on the development of philosophical and scientific thought in the modern era. Rationalism pioneered by René Descartes emphasized that reason (ratio) is the main source of valid knowledge. Rationalist philosophers argue that truth can be achieved through deductive reasoning and innate ideas that exist in the human mind. They believe that mathematics and logic are ideal models for achieving definite knowledge. Empiricism developed by John Locke and David Hume holds that sensory experience is the main foundation of knowledge. Empiricists reject the concept of innate ideas and assert that the human mind is initially a "tabula rasa" (blank slate) which is then filled in by experience. They developed an inductive method of gaining knowledge through observation and experimentation. Materialism promoted by philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes views that reality is basically material or physical. This school rejects mind-body dualism and assumes that mental phenomena can be explained through material processes. Modern materialism developed in line with advances in science and provided the basis for a mechanistic understanding of nature and humans. These three schools have shaped the modern perspective on knowledge, scientific methods, and the nature of reality. Although each has limitations, their contributions remain relevant in philosophical discussions and contemporary scientific developments.

In the era of globalization that is full of challenges, the ability to think critically is becoming increasingly relevant. This research aims to examine how the integration of the trilogy of soul aspects (rasa, cipta, and karsa) in the learning process can foster critical thinking character in the younger generation. Through literature review and case studies, this research will identify learning strategies that are effective in stimulating students' critical thinking skills, as well as analyze their influence on overall character development. The results of the research are expected to contribute to the development of a more holistic curriculum and teaching practices, so as to produce a young generation that is not only intellectually intelligent, but also has a strong and competitive character. The formation of critical thinking character does not only involve the teaching and learning process in the classroom, but also needs to be balanced with real experiences outside the academic environment. Through a holistic approach, it is hoped that the younger generation will be able to develop critical thinking skills that are not only useful in the context of education, but also in everyday life. Education based on this trilogy of aspects of the soul will provide a strong foundation for young people to face global challenges and contribute positively to society. This trilogy includes intellectual understanding, emotional and values development, and practical skills that support each other. By integrating these three aspects, education will not only shape individuals who are intellectually intelligent, but also have social awareness and adaptability in a changing society. Character education has become a central issue in education today. This research proposes that integrating the trilogy of aspects of the soul can be an effective approach in building critical thinking character in the younger generation. By stimulating the trilogy aspects in a balanced manner, it is expected that they will be able to develop critical thinking skills that are not only logic-based, but also based on moral values and empathy. This research will test this hypothesis through experiments or case studies at an educational institution.

PT Jadi Kaya Raya Bersama, founded in 2024 in Banyumas, Indonesia, focuses on providing reliable financial recording solutions for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through fintech-based applications. The platform is designed to support transaction recording, financial monitoring, and reporting processes to improve MSME financial management. Despite its significant potential, several technical issues have hindered the application’s performance and service quality. Key problems identified include disruptions in the WhatsApp Bot API, user authentication errors, and the lack of integration with banking systems and digital wallet services. These challenges affect transaction recording accuracy, operational efficiency, and the security of user financial data. To identify the root causes of these issues and propose appropriate solutions, a system audit was conducted using the COBIT framework as a governance and management evaluation tool. The audit process involved assessing system performance, control mechanisms, and IT service management practices. The results indicate that API disruptions were primarily caused by network instability and configuration errors, which led to interruptions in automated transaction recording services. Meanwhile, authentication problems were associated with weak login mechanisms and insufficient identity verification processes. In addition, the application’s inability to integrate with banking and e-money services created limitations in transaction synchronization and reduced overall user convenience. Based on these findings, several strategic recommendations are proposed. These include optimizing API performance, strengthening authentication systems through the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and developing integration capabilities with banking institutions and digital wallet platforms. The implementation of these improvements is expected to enhance system efficiency, data security, and service quality. Ultimately, strengthening the fintech application’s performance will support MSMEs financial management and contribute to sustainable digital economic growth in Indonesia.

This article discusses the application of deductive and inductive methods in management, which are relevant in facing modern business challenges. Deductive methods, which move from general principles to specific cases, are used to confirm decisions based on established theories, whereas inductive methods, which move from specific observations to generalizations, allow the formation of new theories based on empirical data. These two methods have complementary advantages and disadvantages; deductive excels in efficiency and systematic logic, but is limited to initial premises, while inductive offers flexibility in understanding complex situations, although it risks producing less valid generalizations. The integration of deductive and inductive methods can provide a holistic approach, helping organizations make decisions that are evidence-based, adaptive, and relevant to specific contexts
