This study evaluates the management audit of the procurement of goods and services for the 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) project managed by BAKTI Kominfo, with a primary focus on compliance with applicable regulations, the effectiveness of internal controls, and deviations at various stages of procurement. A qualitative approach was used, with analysis of documents, official news, and investigative audit findings from BPKP. The results indicate that the project procurement did not comply with Presidential Regulation No. 16 of 2018 and BAKTI Director Regulation No. 7 of 2020, with findings including tender manipulation, weak contract verification, and low levels of transparency. The planning process was also unsupported by adequate feasibility studies, while weak internal oversight exacerbated tender rigging and fund disbursements without proper verification. This study emphasizes the need for improvements in internal oversight, strengthening control mechanisms, and the implementation of e-procurement systems to enhance transparency and accountability in public procurement.

The phenomenon of broken home families among elementary school students has become a significant social and psychological issue affecting learning motivation, emotional stability, character development, and academic achievement. This study aims to analyze the relationship between incomplete family conditions and students’ learning motivation, as well as the role of cognitive resilience, social support, and the school environment in maintaining academic achievement among students at MI Al Ikhlas Ancaran. Specifically, this study examines: (1) students’ cognitive conditions and learning motivation, (2) factors influencing cognitive resilience, (3) the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in supporting learning motivation, and (4) Islamic value-based strategies to strengthen students’ cognitive resilience and learning motivation. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The participants included students from broken home families, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and homeroom teachers. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that students from broken home families generally possess relatively good cognitive resilience, enabling them to adapt to academic challenges and manage emotional stress effectively. Their learning motivation was categorized as moderate to good, reflecting strong internal encouragement to achieve despite family difficulties. The study also found that Islamic value-based strategies effectively strengthen cognitive resilience and learning motivation. Furthermore, a positive relationship exists between cognitive resilience and learning motivation, where higher resilience contributes to stronger learning motivation. Supportive family environments, madrasah settings, and positive peer relationships were identified as important factors in enhancing students’ resilience and academic motivation.

This study aims to examine the authority of Islamic Education teachers as a form of moral capital in shaping character education among elementary school students. The research employed a qualitative method using a case study approach at SD Negeri 104267 Pegajahan. The primary subjects of the study were Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, while the informants consisted of students, fellow teachers, and the school principal. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically to identify patterns related to teacher authority and character formation. The findings indicate that the authority of Islamic Religious Education teachers functions as a moral force recognized and respected by students, making it an important asset in the internalization of character values. This authority was formed through exemplary behavior, consistency in attitudes, and the establishment of humanistic pedagogical relationships between teachers and students. Through these qualities, teachers became moral role models who positively influenced students’ character development both inside and outside the classroom. The study concludes that strengthening teacher authority as moral capital is an effective strategy for realizing authentic, meaningful, and sustainable character education in elementary schools, as teacher authority should not only be viewed institutionally but also as a moral resource that significantly contributes to students’ personal and social development.

This study aims to analyze exegetically and socio-historically the text of Deuteronomy 21:10–14 concerning the treatment of female war captives in ancient Israel. This passage has often been debated as it is perceived to reflect a patriarchal system, thus requiring a comprehensive interpretation to understand its original intent. This research employs a qualitative approach based on library research, utilizing textual exegesis, historical-critical, and literary analysis of the Hebrew text, as well as an examination of the Ancient Near Eastern context. The findings reveal that the legal structure of the text is progressive and regulatory in nature, not legitimizing exploitation but rather restricting male behavior through specific procedures, including a mourning period and a process of social transition for the captive woman. The analysis of Hebrew terminology highlights symbolic meanings related to status transformation, purification, and recognition of the woman's humanity. In its socio-historical context, this law differs significantly from common practices in the Ancient Near East, which often exploited war captives, by imposing limitations on economic and social exploitation and providing a degree of protection. Theologically, the text reflects the function of the Mosaic law as a regulatory framework that introduces justice and humanity within a complex social reality. Therefore, Deuteronomy 21:10–14 is best understood as an ethical effort to limit inhumane practices rather than to endorse them.

This study examines the anthropomorphic expression “the LORD came down to see” in Genesis 11:5 through an integrated historical–grammatical exegetical approach. The main objective is to analyze the lexical meaning, grammatical structure, historical context, and theological implications of the phrase within the framework of Old Testament theology. The research employs a qualitative library method, focusing on the Hebrew text supported by lexicons, commentaries, and Ancient Near Eastern studies. The findings indicate that the verb יָרַד (yārad) does not merely denote a spatial descent but signifies divine intervention, while רָאָה (rāʾāh) conveys evaluative and judicial observation. Grammatically, the use of the wayyiqtol form followed by an infinitive construct emphasizes intentional and purposeful divine action. Historically, the expression functions polemically against Mesopotamian religious concepts, particularly the idea of ziggurats as places where deities descend. Theologically, this anthropomorphic language serves as a medium to articulate the dynamic relationship between divine transcendence and immanence. Therefore, the phrase should not be understood literally but as a theological construct that communicates God’s active involvement and sovereign authority in human history.

Background: Diffable children have a higher risk of developing caries compared to normal children. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence of caries in deaf children aged 12-18 years in Denpasar City. Method: This study design was cross-sectional analytic and the target population was deaf children in Denpasar City. The variables studied were sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, and behavior of maintaining oral health and caries prevalence. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and intra-oral examinations. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Result: The prevalence of caries in deaf children is 81.7%. There was a tendency for boys, age group 12-14 years, poor knowledge and poor behavior to experience dental caries. However, from the results of the analytical test, only gender showed a significant relationship with caries (boys had a risk of 1.3 times (CI95%=1.125-1.741) having caries compared to girls). Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries in deaf children is quite high, especially boys are more at risk than girls. Efforts are needed to increase knowledge and monitor the oral health behaviour of deaf children, especially boys, and to promote early detection of dental caries with support of parents, teachers, health services and the health office.

This study examines the practice and meaning of hijab among Muslim female students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Department to determine whether the hijab is understood more as a religious obligation or as a form of identity choice. The purpose of this study is to describe the motivations, patterns of practice, social influences, and experiences of female students related to wearing the hijab in their daily lives, both on and off campus. The study employed a quantitative-descriptive design complemented by qualitative components. A structured questionnaire consisting of Likert-scale statements and open-ended questions was distributed to 70 Muslim female students, while essay responses were analyzed thematically to gain a deeper understanding of the respondents’ perspectives. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics in the form of percentage distributions to identify response tendencies, while qualitative data were coded to present representative experiences, views, and reasons underlying the decision to wear the hijab. The results showed that the majority of female students consistently wore the hijab primarily because of religious beliefs and personal awareness as Muslim women, although cultural identity, family environment, and social acceptance also influenced the practice. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of recognizing the hijab as both a manifestation of faith and a social identity, as well as the need for a campus environment that respects individual motivations, choices, and autonomy in wearing the hijab.

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital leadership, digital transformation, and circular economy practices on the economic performance of weaving SMEs and their contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected from 98 weaving SME owners or managers through questionnaires and analyzed using validity testing, reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and linear regression analysis. The findings show that digital leadership has a positive and significant effect on the economic performance of weaving SMEs. Digital transformation also has a positive and significant effect by expanding market access, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening customer relationships. In addition, circular economy practices have a positive and significant effect through resource efficiency, production waste reduction, and the creation of added value from residual materials.

This study contributes to the development of cultural-based SME studies by positioning digitalization and sustainability as key foundations for strengthening local economic performance.

Biology learning in Indonesia is still predominantly teacher-centered, limiting students’ opportunities to actively develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and other 21st-century competencies. Students often receive information passively, resulting in low engagement and limited ability to apply concepts in real-life contexts. Therefore, innovative learning models are needed to support more meaningful and student-centered learning. This study aims to review the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in Biology education and analyze its contribution to the development of students’ 21st-century skills. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing 20 research articles published between 2022 and 2026. Articles were obtained through Google Scholar searches and selected based on relevance to Biology education, focus on PjBL implementation, and open-access availability. Data collection involved identification, screening, selection, and documentation of related studies, while data analysis used a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings indicate that PjBL effectively improves students’ cognitive achievement, conceptual understanding, scientific literacy, creativity, and critical thinking skills. In addition, PjBL enhances collaboration, communication, problem-solving abilities, learning motivation, and life skills through contextual and authentic project activities. Students become more actively involved in investigating real-world problems, designing solutions, and producing meaningful learning outputs. Furthermore, the integration of STEM approaches, digital media, blended learning, and Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) strengthens the effectiveness of PjBL in Biology learning. Overall, PjBL is highly relevant for supporting the Merdeka Curriculum and improving the quality of Biology education in developing 21st-century competencies.

The matcha cafe industry in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth in line with increasing matcha consumption and the growth of matcha-based cafe brands. This growth has led to increasingly competitive competition in the beverage business sector. Feel Matcha, as the first matcha cafe in Indonesia, faces competitive pressure from various new brands such as Uki Matcha and Matchaboy. This study aims to determine the partial and simultaneous effects of Product Quality, User Generated Content, and Brand Image on the Purchase Intention of Feel Matcha consumers in DKI Jakarta. This is a quantitative study. The technique used to determine the population is non-probability sampling. The population in this study is all Feel Matcha consumers, the exact number of which is unknown. The sample used in this study consisted of 97 respondents, with accidental sampling and using the Lemeshow formula. In this study, the data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Microsoft Excel 2021. The results of this study indicate that Product Quality, User Generated Content, and Brand Image partially influence Purchase Intention.

This study examines the dynamics of church music regulation implementation in the congregation of the Adventist Secondary School – Surya Nusantara Adventist University (SLA-UASN) Pematangsiantar (September 2022–December 2025). The goal is to describe the implementation of the regulation in worship practices, address challenges, reveal congregational responses, and align local practices with the views of Ellen G. White and official SDA documents. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method; data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 informants, participant observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically using source triangulation. The results indicate that the regulation originates from church regulations (SDA Church Guidelines) and local policies, but is disseminated orally, resulting in differing understandings. There is intergenerational tension between supporters of traditional music (hymnals) and contemporary music that has not been bridged dialogically. Resistance from music ministers arises from inconsistent implementation and minimal involvement in policy development. Communication between music leaders and ministers remains weak, with no regular evaluation forum, resulting in a continued decline in the quality of music worship. This study concludes that effective music regulation requires clear written documentation, structured intergenerational dialogue, ongoing music theology education, and inclusive and participatory pastoral leadership.

One of the most actively traded and liquid stock groups in the capital market is the LQ45 index, which consistently attracts investor attention due to its strong market capitalization and transaction volume. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial performance and financial management strategies on firm value among companies listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018–2022 period. The study population consisted of 73 LQ45-indexed companies, with purposive sampling used to select 23 companies that met the research criteria. This research employed a quantitative approach using path analysis to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings indicate that profitability and leverage have a positive and significant effect on firm value. In addition, profitability and leverage also positively influence firm size, indicating that companies with stronger profitability and effective debt management tend to expand their operational scale. However, firm size does not significantly affect firm value and is unable to mediate the relationship between profitability, leverage, and firm value. These results suggest that investors place greater emphasis on profitability and leverage indicators than company size when evaluating firm value in LQ45 companies. Therefore, effective financial performance remains the primary factor in enhancing corporate value and investor confidence.

This study aims to examine the factors that influence students’ interest in learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA Daruttaqwa Dahanrejo Kebomas Gresik. The research applies a qualitative method using a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and administrative staff, as well as direct observation of the PAI learning process. The results reveal that students’ learning interest is shaped by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include individual characteristics, intellectual ability, and psychological conditions. Meanwhile, external factors consist of the role of competent teachers, parental support, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and a supportive learning environment. The implementation of PAI learning involves various methods, such as lectures, storytelling of prophets and pious scholars, question-and-answer activities, the use of social and visual media, assignments, discussions, and role modeling. Factors that enhance learning interest include teacher motivation, family support, a conducive environment, alignment with students’ interests, and the quality of learning materials. The primary obstacle identified is the suboptimal management and scheduling of instructional time.

The discipline of Qur'anic Studies (‘Ulūm al-Qur’ān) has experienced a significant paradigm shift from the classical textual-normative approach to a modern contextual and hermeneutic framework. This systematic literature review aims to map the dynamics of this growth by evaluating the ontological, epistemological, and teleological boundaries of Qur'anic studies within contemporary Islamic scholarship. Utilizing a qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design, data were gathered from reputable academic journals published over the last decade and analyzed through thematic synthesis. The findings reveal four major transformations. First, an ontological redefinition where the Qur'an is no longer viewed merely as a static written text, but as a performative living discourse, necessitating a strict demarcation between the Qur'an and Hadith to prevent the sacralization of the profane. Second, an epistemological reconstruction that shifts the discipline from mechanistic auxiliary sciences to a holistic-interdisciplinary methodology integrating social sciences and humanities. Third, an expansion of scope beyond textual analysis into applied realities, notably the emergence of Living Qur'an and Digital Qur'an sub-disciplines responding to the disruption of religious authority. Fourth, a teleological shift where the ultimate goal of studying the Qur'an transitions from individual piety to social transformation, serving as an intellectual defense mechanism against post-truth populism and promoting emancipatory theology. The implication of this study suggests that contemporary Qur'anic studies must proactively offer ethical frameworks for global challenges rather than merely preserving historical dogma

This study aims to examine the differences in stock prices before and after the Palestine-Israel ceasefire event in fast-food restaurant companies,  Pizza Hut and KFC. International-scale events may influence investor perceptions, as reflected in stock price movements in the capital market. This study employs a comparative quantitative approach using stock price data collected over 30 days before and 30 days after the ceasefire event. The analyzed data consist of secondary data processed through descriptive statistics, normality tests, and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that the average stock price of PZZA increased after the event, whereas FAST experienced a decline in its average stock price. These results reveal differences in stock prices between the periods before and after the ceasefire event in both companies. The findings further suggest that geopolitical events are associated with changes in stock prices in the fast-food restaurant industry, although market responses differ across companies. Therefore, future studies are recommended to expand the scope of research objects and extend the observation period to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of market responses to international events.

This study examines the legal accountability of the Board of Directors of PT. Humpuss Intermoda Transportasi in relation to ultra vires conduct, with particular reference to Court Ruling No. 439/Pdt.G/2011/PN.JKT.SEL. Employing a normative-doctrinal legal methodology supported by statutory and comparative analyses, this research investigates the standard of director liability within Indonesian company law and contrasts it with the English ultra vires framework. Indonesia's Limited Liability Company Act (Law No. 40 of 2007) establishes that directors bear full accountability for corporate actions performed within the boundaries set by the Articles of Association and prevailing regulations; any action exceeding such boundaries constitutes an ultra vires act that is void ab initio and non-binding upon the company. Research findings reveal that the directors of PT. Humpuss Intermoda Transportasi overstepped their authority when they issued the Linsen Corporate Guarantee and the Nelson Corporate Guarantee without the mandatory written consent of the Board of Commissioners, thereby contravening Article 13(1) of the Company's Articles of Association and Articles 92(1) and 97(2) of Law No. 40 of 2007. The South Jakarta District Court consequently imposed joint and several personal liability on the said directors. A comparative review discloses that Indonesia maintains a more rigid application of the ultra vires doctrine relative to England, whose Companies Act 2006 introduced a good-faith-based flexibility that effectively confines ultra vires liability to situations where directors act dishonestly and cause demonstrable corporate harm. Notwithstanding this divergence, the directors' actions in the present case would equally qualify as ultra vires under English law given the verified prejudice inflicted on the company.

This research aims to examine and analyze the phenomenon of speeding and illegal racing, which poses a significant threat to traffic safety within the legal jurisdiction of the Buleleng Resort Police (Polres Buleleng). The study employs empirical legal research methods, gathering primary data through observations and interviews with traffic police officers, alongside secondary data from legal literature and previous studies. The findings indicate that the speeding phenomenon in Buleleng is predominantly carried out by teenagers and young adults, often motivated by social media trends, peer pressure, and the search for identity. This reckless behavior leads to a high rate of traffic accidents, frequently resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Furthermore, law enforcement efforts by Polres Buleleng face several challenges, including the high mobility of the perpetrators, lack of personnel during specific hours, and low legal awareness among the public. Preventive measures such as counseling in schools and repressive measures like electronic traffic law enforcement (E-TLE) and routine patrols need to be optimized. This study concludes that an integrated approach involving the police, educational institutions, and parents is crucial to mitigating the speeding phenomenon and ensuring traffic safety.

This study aims to analyze people's online shopping behavior and assess its impact on family economic conditions. The development of digital technology has transformed people's consumption habits, particularly in shopping activities, which are now increasingly practical through online platforms. Easy access, product diversity, and various payment options have made online shopping a dominant trend. However, this convenience also has the potential to foster consumer behavior that impacts financial stability. This study aims to analyze bold shopping patterns and their impact on household financial conditions. The approach used is descriptive qualitative library research, collecting and analyzing data from various scientific journals, articles, and related references. The study findings indicate that online shopping has diverse effects: on the one hand, it offers time and cost savings, but on the other hand, it can lead to waste and indiscipline in family budget management if not supported by adequate self-control. Therefore, an understanding of financial management and digital literacy is crucial to ensure optimal use of technology without harming family economic well-being. Furthermore, this phenomenon requires synergy between digital platform policies and consumer education to mitigate the risk of impulsive buying. This research confirms that psychological factors often outweigh objective needs in digital transactions. As a recommendation, adaptive financial management support strategies are needed for families in this era of disruption to maintain domestic economic resilience against the pressures of a modern lifestyle.

Floods are the most frequent hydrometeorological disasters in Indonesia and significantly contribute to increased trauma cases and disruption of healthcare services, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Aceh Province. These conditions are exacerbated by limited resources, damaged health facilities, and restricted access to referral centers. This study aims to examine the implementation of early emergency surgical management during flood disasters based on damage control surgery principles and international guidelines. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through a literature review combined with field observations conducted during the emergency response phase of flood disasters in Bireuen Regency. Data were collected from direct clinical observations, brief interviews with healthcare providers, and documentation of trauma cases requiring early surgical intervention. The results indicate that effective patient stabilization can be achieved despite limited resources through airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC) management, hemorrhage control, wound irrigation, and fracture immobilization using simple and improvised equipment. Approximately 90% of patients were successfully stabilized prior to referral to definitive healthcare facilities. In conclusion, adaptive and timely application of damage control surgery principles plays a crucial role in saving lives and strengthening emergency surgical response during flood disasters.

Vertigo is a clinical symptom that is often found and can be related to vestibular disorders or systemic conditions such as hypertension. The case report described a 58-year-old female patient who came in with complaints of dizziness that disappeared from 12 hours before admission to the hospital, accompanied by double vision, nausea, severe headache, flatulence, and stiffness of the left shoulder. Physical examination showed increased blood pressure and bidirectional nystagmus on neurological examination. Laboratory tests show mild electrolyte abnormalities and increased cholesterol. The patient was diagnosed with uncontrolled vestibular vertigo et causa hypertension and received intravenous fluid therapy, symptomatic therapy, antihypertensive therapy, and vestibular suppressants. Clinical improvements were obtained during follow-up. Education related to blood pressure control, medication adherence, and lifestyle changes such as low-salt diet settings and stress management is also provided to patients. In addition, periodic monitoring is required to prevent recurrence and further complications. This case emphasizes the importance of identifying hypertension as a contributing factor to vertigo as well as comprehensive management to improve patient outcomes and improve the quality of life of patients.
