This research aims to analyze the contribution of credit, level of member satisfaction, and credit services to increasing business income through credit services for members of the Karya Cipta Mandiri Cooperative in Sendangwaru Village, Semarang Regency, Central Java. Using a quantitative approach and SPSS statistical tools, research was conducted on 150 cooperative members who used credit for productive activities. According to the results of descriptive statistical data analysis, member satisfaction levels, credit services, credit contributions, and income increases are all average variables. Classic assumptions such as normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and autocorrelation were tested to verify the multiple linear regression model used in the research. According to multiple linear regression analysis, credit contribution and member satisfaction levels have a positive and significant effect on increasing members' business income. In contrast, credit services are not proven to have a significant effect on increasing income. Simultaneous and partial tests show that the three independent variables influence the dependent variable simultaneously.

This article examines Paul's perspective on slavery in early Christianity with a focus on the concept of spiritual equality and views on spiritual freedom. Although Paul did not explicitly call for the physical liberation of slaves, the concept of spiritual equality in Christ became a moral basis that highlighted the dignity of every individual regardless of social status. Paul's view of spiritual freedom was interpreted as a potential encouragement to support physical and social liberation, although it did not propose direct changes in law or policy. This research also details possible responses of early Christian communities to this concept in practical contexts, including efforts to support human rights and create an ethical environment that respects the values ​​of freedom and human dignity.

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is a crucial element in ensuring worker welfare and the smooth running of company operations. Even though SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) play an important role in the economy, the work accident rate in this sector is still high compared to large companies. Limited resources and lack of management support are often the main obstacles in implementing an effective K3 management system. Objective: This literature study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the K3 management system in SMEs, identify the challenges faced, and provide recommendations for improving the implementation of K3 in this sector. Methodology: This study uses a literature study approach by collecting and analyzing various academic sources including journal articles, government reports and relevant books. The literature search focused on academic databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest, using keywords such as "OHS management system", "SME", "OHS effectiveness", and "work safety". Results: Findings show that implementing a comprehensive K3 management system in SMEs can reduce work accidents by up to 25% and increase awareness of the importance of K3. However, challenges such as limited resources, lack of management support, and loose regulations remain major obstacles. This study also found that SMEs that implement good K3 practices tend to have better financial performance. To improve K3 implementation in SMEs, increased access to K3 training and resources, ongoing education campaigns, development of a simple and effective K3 management system, as well as government support in the form of incentives and stricter regulations are needed. Conclusion: Although there are many challenges in implementing the K3 management system in SMEs, with the right approach and adequate support, SMEs can achieve a better level of work safety. This will not only improve worker welfare but also productivity and business sustainability.   Keywords: Occupational Health and Safety (K3), Small and Medium Enterprises (UKM), K3 Management System, K3 Effectiveness

Mares in the estrus cycle by the form of reproductive determine the precision of ovulating time so that efficient to the appropriate time of artificial insemination for breeding. The determination requires supporting medical equipment such as Ultrasonography during the ovulation. This research was conducted to know the ovarian follicle imaging of mares during estrus with Ultrasonography that helps through presume ovulation and the appropriate time to proceed with artificial insemination. This observation was conducted at Nirwana Equestrian Club Semarang, from October until December 2023. The sampling is collected by purposive sampling method where the sample is specifically the mares while in their estrus symptom. The collected data and information are processed descriptively using laboratory equipment such as Ultrasonography. The observation collected the mares physical estrus symptoms such as urination, vulvar pulsination, and vaginal fluid discharge. Significant development was observed from the initial follicle size of 5.34 cm to 5.61 cm in one of the samples with the examination interval within 18 hours before the occurrence of the corpus luteum. The results were proved by 9 samples of mares that had been measured with ultrasound during their estrus, and undergoing pregnancy by one attempt of artificial insemination.

Determining the relationship between environmental adaptability and milk production across various parities using HTC and THI values was the aim of this study. Purposive sampling was employed to choose thirty dairy cows of parity 1 and 2, for the study. For this investigation, a case study was employed. The temperatures and humidity of the barn environment were used to measure the THI value, which was determined by the HTC value, the milk production of mothers with varying parities, and the rectal temperature and respiratory frequency. Research results demonstrated a negative connection between the two independent variables—the THI and HTC values—and milk production at parities 1 and 2. This suggests that either environmental stressors or higher HTC or THI values resulted in lower milk production. At parity 1, there was a poor correlation, and at parity 2, a moderate correlation between the HTC value and milk production. The correlation coefficients for parity 1 and parity 2 were, respectively, r = 0.410, R2 = 0.168, and r = 0.370, R2 = 0.137. There was just a slight association observed between the THI value and milk production at parities 1 and 2. The correlation coefficient for parity 1 was (r = 0.220; R2 = 0.049), but the correlation coefficient for parity 2 was (r = 0.227; R2 = 0.51). According to the study's findings, milk production in parities 1 and 2 is only marginally correlated with HTC and THI values.

This research aimed to determine the comparison of types of battery materials for laying hens, specifically bamboo and wire, on the welfare and production performance of laying hens. The material for this research consisted of 100 laying hens of the ISA Brown strain aged 54 weeks. The variables observed included livestock welfare, which was assessed through behavioral aspects (eating, drinking, and resting), while the production performance variables observed included HDP (Hen Day Production), egg weight, egg mass, and FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio). The research method employed an experimental approach using the T-test (independent sample). Two treatments were used, each with 50 replications. The results of the research indicated that the difference in treatment using T1 (bamboo battery materials) and T2 (wire battery materials) affected livestock welfare and production performance. The research results demonstrated that the behavior of bamboo batteries was considered better in terms of livestock welfare because they were able to better prevent heat stress. In terms of production performance, wire batteries exhibited higher Hen Day Production (HDP) and were better at preventing disease than bamboo batteries. However, bamboo batteries had a higher egg weight due to the frequency of feeding chickens being higher than wire batteries. Improved sanitation management is necessary for batteries made from bamboo because they tend to more easily become a medium for the growth of germs, lice, and fungi, which can cause disease and result in decreased production performance.

Kinayah is a pronunciation of something, while what is meant is not what is said, even if that meaning is used linguistically. Example: tall stature (because the person is tall), what is meant is not just the linguistic meaning, but more than that, such as high dignity. The Qur'an was revealed in very clear Arabic and literature with very beautiful wording and was easily understood by all audiences, in fact it could beat the language of the poets of that century. Al-Qur'an al-Karim is the greatest Islamic miracle in the following centuries. The language style of the Qur'an is full of essence (original meaning), majaz (non-original meaning), isti'arah (borrowing one word for another word) and kinayah (specific allusion). During the period of ignorance, the Arabs already had a very high style of literary language because they were always trained in arguing, praising and flattering and demeaning someone using language as a medium. This can be seen from the many al-mu'allaqat hanging from the Kaaba as a tribute to poets who were instrumental in producing beautiful literary works in their poetry. On the other hand, Arabic literature at its peak had no value when compared with the Koran, so that the literary language that was famous at that time, such as mua'laqatt, felt bland when compared with the language of the Koran. He can even beat the literary language of his time until now. This is because the advantage of the language of the Koran is that it has a very selective language style in choosing appropriate, beautiful, easy and harmonious vocabulary, so that it can touch the mind and heart so that many people are interested in learning and understanding it. On the other hand, the Koran is a guide to human life because it provides clear instructions for carrying out every daily activity. The Koran includes all the rules that humans need to interact with each other, as well as the rules with the natural environment and especially the rules with the Creator. In a not too long period of time, the beauty of the language of the Koran spread throughout social life. This was acknowledged by famous Arab poets at that time, as explained in the history of Ibn Abbas, that Walid bin Mughirah came to the Prophet and the Prophet read the Koran to him. So Walid's heart softened because of it.      

The aim of this exploration is to recognize the enormous use of representation in the first verse of the Al-Qur'an Surah Ibrahim, especially the words Al-Zhulumat and Al-Nur. The main point is to interpret the task of isti'arah in giving an uncertain meaning to a part which can give rise to various translations. Using a scientific-rational approach, this research method examines the text of the Al-Qur'an through language and literature studies, with a focus on metaphors, especially relevant metaphors. This research approach is qualitative, with data collection using the Library Research method (library research). This investigation also includes interpretive efforts to better understand how isti'arah can be used as a tool of understanding, namely the translation of Fahruddin Al-Razi's Mafatih Al Ghaib. Findings (1). The study involved various translations resulting from the ideas of Intisari and Majaz in the application of isti'arah (2). Fakhruddin Al-Razi underlined that isti'arah helps Muslims understand the Al-Qur'an by explaining the meaning of complex verses, especially the terms Al-Zhulumat and Al-Nur in Surah Ibrahim verse 1. Apart from that, this study also functions as a reminder the idea of ​​content 'direction, which is not mentioned in the language of scholars but is present in the disciplines of tafsir and the Koran. Therefore, this research takes a dogmatic-ideological approach in studying the Koran while allowing for a rational-scientific approach.
