This community service activity was carried out in the form of the Studi Al-Qur’an Intensif (SAINS) program as an effort to empower Qur’anic literacy among students of Universitas Negeri Makassar. The program focused on improving the ability to read and write the Qur’an, considering that some students still lacked the skill to read properly and correctly according to the rules of tajwīd. The implementation methods included a preliminary test of Qur’anic reading and writing skills, intensive mentoring through study groups, the application of the talaqqī method, and periodic evaluation through a final test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ ability to read and write the Qur’an, a strengthened understanding of basic tajwīd, and an increased spiritual motivation to become closer to the Qur’an. In addition, the program successfully fostered a collaborative and sustainable Qur’anic learning atmosphere within the campus environment. Thus, SAINS proved to be an effective means of empowering students’ Qur’anic literacy while instilling religious values as a provision for both academic and social life.

The digital era requires companies to adapt to modern, efficient, and accurate taxation systems. This study aims to analyze the implementation of an integrated system to optimize tax administration processes in a port service company in Indonesia. The focus of this research is to examine how the integration of systems such as SAP, Coretax, Microsoft Excel, and digital banking platforms is utilized to manage Income Tax Article 23 (PPh 23), Value Added Tax (VAT), and the tax reimbursement process. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design, conducted through participatory observation, document analysis, and informal interviews with employees directly involved in tax administration. The results indicate that the integrated system positively impacts the efficiency, consistency, and reliability of tax administration processes. It helps streamline workflows and accelerate tax reporting, particularly in managing PPh 23 and VAT. However, weaknesses remain in the manual data recap stage using Microsoft Excel, which is prone to human error due to the absence of automatic validation mechanisms. Therefore, this study recommends developing a standardized Excel template equipped with automatic validation features and providing training for staff to enhance data accuracy and administrative effectiveness. These findings are expected to serve as a practical reference for other companies in implementing an integrated taxation system that is optimal and sustainable, as well as encouraging increased efficiency and compliance with tax administration in the corporate environment.

This study explores the integration of Islamic business management principles, blue economy concepts, and innovation strategies in the shrimp farming industry of Sidoarjo, Indonesia, to enhance global competitiveness. The research adopts a qualitative approach through literature review and thematic analysis of relevant sources, aiming to formulate a sustainable business model that harmonizes ethical, environmental, and economic dimensions. Findings reveal that applying sharia-based management—including mudharabah and musyarakah contracts, halal certification, and social responsibility through zakat and waqf—creates an equitable business ecosystem. Simultaneously, blue economy practices such as biofloc technology, waste utilization, and mangrove rehabilitation strengthen environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. Additionally, technological innovation through IoT-based monitoring, digital marketing, and traceability systems significantly improves productivity and market access.

This study suggests policy support for sustainable financing, technology adoption, and certification to scale up implementation and recommends future research to quantify its economic and ecological impacts.

The fashion industry is experiencing continuous acceleration. Increased social and economic competition is occurring in society to expand the boundaries of consumer demand. Fast fashion companies have successfully built this business model by relying on cheap labor and the resulting social, economic, and environmental impacts. The method used in this study is qualitative research with a literature study approach and an understanding of the meaning of social or humanitarian phenomena examined through descriptive analysis using the Islamic economic theory framework. The results show that the fast fashion industry has exploited the environment and even labor rights, which has had an impact on the economy, society, and health. Based on Islamic production ethics, it is clearly explained in the Qur'an that production practices must bring benefits to humans without causing harm, based on the four main principles of the Islamic economic system, namely, monotheism, balance, free will, and responsibility. Meanwhile, Islamic consumption ethics avoid wastefulness (tabzir) and unnecessary spending (isyraf), so that consumption behavior can provide long-term benefits for both worldly and afterlife. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the government, stakeholders, and the community in creating a sustainable production system in accordance with Islamic values.

This community service aims to implement recycling activities for children as an educational strategy to foster environmental awareness from an early age. In the context of increasing environmental challenges, environmental education is an urgent need to shape a caring and responsible character for environmental sustainability. The method used is participatory learning with direct practice of recycling waste that actively involves children, accompanied by education on waste management, sorting, and the reuse of used materials into useful products. This approach uses observation, and documentation as data collection techniques to evaluate children's understanding and behavior. The results of the community service show a significant increase in children's awareness and concrete actions in protecting the environment after participating in the recycling activity. Children not only understand the concept of environmental conservation theoretically, but also practice it in their daily lives, such as sorting waste and reducing plastic waste. This community service's contribution to the development of science in the field of education lies in the successful implementation of an experiential learning model that integrates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects in instilling environmental values. This educational model enriches an effective and contextual approach to environmental education, while also providing a strategic alternative for fostering environmental awareness among the younger generation. Thus, this community service makes a significant contribution to the development of educational methods that can strengthen sustainable development through the active participation of children from an early age.

This study aims to analyze the effect of sustainable business practices, as measured through the disclosure of economic, environmental, and social aspects based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards 2016, on the profitability of companies participating in the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating (ASRRAT) during the 2018–2024 period. The growing awareness of sustainability has encouraged companies not only to pursue profit but also to consider their impact on the environment and society as a form of legitimacy and accountability to stakeholders. The study population comprises all companies participating in ASRRAT from 2018 to 2024, with samples selected using a purposive sampling method. The final sample consists of 8 companies, yielding 56 observations. Data were obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports published on the official company websites and the National Center for Corporate Reporting (NCCR). The results reveal that environmental disclosure has a significant positive effect on company profitability, while economic and social disclosures show no significant effect. These findings reinforce both legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory, suggesting that companies can gain social legitimacy and stakeholder trust through genuine environmental commitment.  

Ecofeminism encompasses a broader perspective, linking environmental issues with social issues. Previous research has shown that environmental discourse generated by various actors, including the government, NGOs, and the media, plays a significant role in shaping public awareness and behavior. However, the phenomenon of women often being excluded from decision-making regarding environmental policies requires special attention. In this digital era, women can share stories, adaptation strategies, and sustainable practices in addressing environmental issues through various platforms. This study aims to analyze the ideology of the women's community embodied in eco-discourse on the Modern Women Bali magazine. The research method applied is a qualitative method with data in the form of eco-discourse on the Modern Women Bali magazine. Results show that the ideologies of ecofeminism found in the media include women’s environmental care, women’s support for local sustainability, women’s role as guardian of nature, and women’s growth through nature.

Environmental sustainability has become an essential approach for companies to enhance their competitive advantage and reputation. This study examines the effect of ownership structure on sustainability performance and firm value. This study uses data from state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Ownership structure is proxied by institutional ownership, management ownership, and public ownership; sustainability performance is proxied by the total economic score, environmental score, and social score; and firm value is proxied by Tobin's Q. Our results reveal that ownership structure (management ownership, institutional ownership, and public ownership) have a direct effect on firm value, but indirectly do not have an indirect effect on firm value through CSR does not mediate the relationship between management ownership and institutional ownership with firm value. The unique findings of this study indicate that CSR mediates the relationship between public ownership and firm value. Public ownership partially mediates the relationship between firm type and firm value. The implications of this study will be significant for policymakers, corporate management, academics, and investors in considering the adoption and importance of corporate environmental practices.

The integration of green marketing into corporate strategies represents a paradigmatic shift in responding to global sustainability issues while enhancing competitiveness and socio-ecological commitment. With the rapid growth of literature in this field, a systematic analysis is required to map its conceptual evolution and strategic directions. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of global research trends in green marketing, aiming to identify the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and knowledge development over the period 2017–2024. Using the Scopus database and the Biblioshiny and VOSviewer tools, 275 peer-reviewed articles were examined through quantitative bibliometric mapping techniques. The analysis reveals an annual publication growth rate of 15.27%, with dominant themes such as “sustainability,” “green marketing,” and “sustainable development.” Thematic mapping visualizations indicate a shift in research focus from product-related technical issues to strategic, social, and consumer behaviour dimensions. Five major thematic clusters were identified, reflecting interdisciplinary approaches encompassing digital marketing strategies, consumer behaviour, corporate social responsibility, supply chain management, and environmental ethics. These findings underscore the significance of integrating green marketing as a sustainable business strategy, not only to enhance corporate image but also to foster more environmentally responsible consumer behaviour. The study provides a conceptual foundation for future inquiries and strategic implications for business practices, affirming the role of green marketing as a catalyst for organizational transformation toward environmental and social sustainability.

The current global environmental crisis is not only caused by technical and economic factors, but also reflects a spiritual and ethical crisis in the modern human view of nature. Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a contemporary Islamic philosopher and thinker, offers an environmental ethics approach based on Islamic spirituality that emphasizes the sanctity of nature and the relationship between humans and God as the center of ecological morality. This study aims to examine in depth the concept of environmental ethics according to Nasr, as well as its relevance in responding to contemporary ecological challenges. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature study of Nasr's works, this study found that Nasr's concept of environmental ethics is based on the principles of monotheism, trust, and the ontological relationship between humans and the universe. Nasr criticized the Western secular and anthropocentric paradigm that objectifies nature and called for the restoration of the sacred relationship between humans and the environment as the basis for sustainable ecological ethics. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of holistic and spiritual environmental ethics in global and local contexts.

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is a major constraint in chili (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivation due to its severe impact on plant health and yield. Excessive use of synthetic fungicides to control this disease has resulted in environmental pollution and the development of resistant pathogens. This study aimed to identify endophytic fungi from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and evaluate their antagonistic potential against F. oxysporum as an eco-friendly biological control strategy. The novelty of this research lies in the exploration of endophytic fungi from black pepper, a crop not commonly studied as a microbial reservoir for chili disease control, providing new insight into cross-host endophytic interactions and their potential application in sustainable plant protection. Endophytic fungi were isolated from the stems, roots, and leaves of healthy black pepper plants, while F. oxysporum isolates were obtained from diseased chili plants. All isolates were cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and tested using a dual culture assay under a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and six replications. Inhibition percentage and colony growth were observed for seven days, and antagonistic mechanisms such as competition, antibiosis, and parasitism were examined microscopically. Four endophytic fungi—Trichoderma sp., Gliocladium sp., Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flavus—showed antagonistic activity against F. oxysporum. The highest inhibition rates (60–75%) were observed in Gliocladium sp. and Trichoderma sp., primarily through competition and antibiosis mechanisms. These results demonstrate the potential of black pepper-derived endophytic fungi as novel, effective, and environmentally safe biocontrol agents, offering an innovative approach to developing sustainable alternatives to synthetic fungicides in integrated plant disease management systems.

The implementation of educational policies in schools plays a pivotal role in improving the quality of teaching and learning processes. The success of these policies is determined by the readiness of educational institutions, the professional competence of teachers, and the active involvement of various supporting stakeholders. Each of these elements significantly contributes to the effectiveness of learning outcomes in the classroom. However, policy implementation often faces challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of comprehensive teacher training, and a mismatch between national policies and the specific needs of local educational contexts. In this regard, schools must be able to adapt policy frameworks to suit their unique environments, ensuring that the goals of the policy are effectively aligned with students’ learning needs. Teachers play a central role as key implementers who are not only required to understand the substance of educational policies but also to apply them creatively and contextually in their classrooms. Their ability to interpret and operationalize these policies directly affects the quality of educational delivery. Furthermore, continuous evaluation is essential to measure the extent to which policies have been effectively implemented. This evaluation process serves not only as a feedback mechanism but also as a basis for future policy adjustments and improvements. It enables stakeholders to identify gaps, assess outcomes, and refine strategies to ensure sustainable educational development. In conclusion, effective policy implementation requires a holistic approach that involves institutional preparedness, teacher capability, stakeholder support, contextual adaptation, and ongoing evaluation. Without these elements working in synergy, even well-formulated policies may fall short in achieving their intended impact on educational quality and student success.

Sanitation facilities are a fundamental element that contributes to creating a healthy, comfortable, and productive learning environment in higher education institutions. This study aims to describe the availability of sanitation facilities in the Office Administration Management Study Program, analyze the factors that influence their condition, and explore the perspectives of the academic community regarding their quality and usefulness. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The informants of this study consisted of students, lecturers, administrative staff, and facility managers. The findings reveal that sanitation facilities such as toilets, sinks, and trash bins remain inadequate in terms of quantity, physical condition, and distribution within the campus area. Several key challenges were identified, including limited financial resources, suboptimal management practices, low awareness and discipline among users, and the absence of clear and strict institutional policies related to sanitation standards. The academic community generally perceives that the available sanitation facilities do not meet the expected standards of comfort and hygiene, which may negatively affect the quality of learning experiences and academic activities. This study highlights the importance of strategic planning, adequate budget allocation, and supportive institutional policies in improving the quality of sanitation facilities. The implications of the study are expected to provide valuable input for higher education managers in formulating policies and planning facilities that are more responsive to the needs of the academic community, thereby supporting effective, professional, and sustainable educational governance.

The global environmental crisis is increasingly alarming, with deforestation and resource exploitation severely impacting ecosystems and local communities. In Indonesia, Flores Island has become a strategic site for geothermal projects, including the planned drilling in Poco Leok, Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara. This project has provoked strong resistance from local communities due to ecological threats such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and water scarcity, all of which exacerbate social vulnerability, particularly among women. This study employs a qualitative literature-based analysis using Taoist philosophy as an interpretive framework. The principles of Yin–Yang, Wu Wei, and Ziran are applied as reflective lenses to identify the root of the crisis: the imbalance in human–nature relations caused by exploitative and dominant development models. The findings demonstrate that economy-driven development undermines ecological harmony and local wisdom, thereby deepening social hardship. In contrast, Taoist philosophy offers an alternative paradigm that emphasizes balance, harmony, and respect for the natural order. Addressing the Poco Leok conflict therefore requires not only a reassessment of policy but also a paradigm shift in development toward ecological justice and inclusive, sustainable well-being.

Effective waste management is a crucial challenge in maintaining environmental cleanliness and sustainability, especially in rural areas. This study aims to analyze the development of waste banks as a sustainable waste management solution in Jl Sosro GG 1001 Village. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through field observations, in-depth interviews with residents and waste bank managers, and documentation of activities. The results of the study show that the existence of waste banks is able to increase public awareness in sorting and managing household waste. In addition, the social and economic impacts caused are quite significant, such as the formation of work groups, increased additional income, and strengthening the value of mutual cooperation. However, there are a number of challenges that hinder program optimization, including limited operational facilities, lack of continuity of community participation, and lack of technical support from local governments. To overcome this, a capacity building strategy is needed through continuous training, provision of supporting facilities, and cross-sector collaboration. The waste bank in Jl Sosro GG 1001 Village has great potential to be used as a model of sustainable community-based waste management, if supported by a joint commitment between residents, the government, and other stakeholders.

This study explores the urgency of enacting a specific Electronic Waste Management Law in Indonesia as a legal foundation to support the achievement of net zero emissions. Using a normative juridical approach, the research analyzes existing legal shortcomings, the application of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle, and comparative insights from international e-waste regulatory frameworks. The findings indicate that current environmental regulations, such as Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management and Government Regulation No. 101 of 2014 on Hazardous Waste Management, do not explicitly regulate electronic waste. As a result, e-waste management remains fragmented and largely handled by the informal sector without adequate supervision or accountability mechanisms. Therefore, the establishment of a comprehensive E-Waste Law is crucial to enhance Indonesia’s legal structure, substantive norms, and legal culture in supporting a sustainable circular economy. Through the implementation of EPR and shared responsibility among producers, consumers, and government institutions, the law can function as a strategic tool to minimize electronic waste generation, improve recycling efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions. Such legal innovation would reinforce Indonesia’s environmental governance and accelerate progress toward its national goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2060.

Youth empowerment is an effective strategy for improving the quality of community-based public health. As the nation's next generation, adolescents have great potential to become agents of change, including in the health sector. This study aims to develop a model for empowering adolescents as agents of public health leadership at the community level. The method used is a community-based participatory research approach involving adolescents, community leaders, and health workers. The results show that leadership training, health education, and social activities can increase the capacity of adolescents to lead and educate the community about clean and healthy living behaviors. The implementation of these activities also shows increased community participation and changes in health behaviors in the target environment. In conclusion, empowering adolescents as agents of community leadership can be a sustainable strategy for strengthening a public health system based on active participation.

The family is the first environment that shapes a child's personality and social behavior. However, in broken homes, emotional conditions and parenting patterns are often disrupted due to separation or the absence of one parent. This has an impact on the process of shaping children's social behavior in their daily lives. This study aims to analyze the social behavior of children from broken homes in Kampung Aur, Kelurahan Aur, Medan City. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used. The main informants consisted of five children from broken homes who were selected using the snowball technique. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The results of the study showed that the children's social behavior had not developed optimally in most indicators, namely cooperation, sharing, competition, empathy, sympathy, imitation, social support, and social acceptance. The main obstacles arise from inconsistent parenting patterns, lack of emotional support, and an unsupportive social environment. Therefore, the active involvement of parents, guardians, and the community is essential to shape and nurture children's social behavior in a sustainable manner.

This research aims to examine the impact of integrating cleaner production practices with green supply chain technologies as a comprehensive approach to achieving environmental sustainability. The study highlights that cleaner production and green supply chain management represent advanced, innovative strategies that have emerged as a response to the growing environmental challenges caused by the rapid expansion and diversification of industrial activities. These technologies are not only environmentally oriented but also carry significant economic implications for organizations. The findings emphasize that adopting cleaner production involves minimizing waste generation, improving production efficiency, and ensuring that processes are designed to have minimal adverse effects on the environment. On the other hand, green supply chain technologies focus on integrating environmental thinking into every stage of the supply chain—ranging from product design, material sourcing, and manufacturing processes to logistics, product delivery, and end-of-life management. The study concludes that the synergy between these two approaches provides multiple benefits. From an environmental perspective, they contribute to reducing carbon emissions, particularly from fuel-powered machinery and transportation systems. They also promote the rational use of resources, including energy, water, and raw materials, thereby helping to preserve natural resources for future generations. From an economic perspective, their implementation leads to reduced operational costs by enhancing efficiency, decreasing waste disposal expenses, and optimizing resource usage. Furthermore, the integration of cleaner production and green supply chain technologies supports compliance with environmental regulations and enhances the corporate image of economic units, enabling them to gain competitive advantages in increasingly eco-conscious markets. Overall, the research affirms that these practices are essential tools for confronting and mitigating the environmental pollution challenges of modern industries, while simultaneously fostering sustainable economic growth and long-term environmental protection.
