The primary goal of this Community Service Program (PKM) is to assist local farmers in utilizing rabbit urine waste—previously discarded into a value-added product in the form of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This innovation aims not only to enhance technical production skills but also to stimulate local economic growth through entrepreneurship based on local resources. The program involves several strategic steps: designing a simple fermentation device using a 20-liter bucket equipped with an airlock and digital thermometer; providing technical training in the LOF-making process, quality control, and hygiene standards; offering entrepreneurial mentoring in production management, financial recording, branding, and marketing; and developing local distribution networks through farmer groups and agricultural shops. The results show that partners can independently produce consistent-quality LOF, packaged in 600 ml bottles with simple labeling for commercial appeal. The program improves technical and entrepreneurial skills, increases farmers’ income, fosters cooperation, and supports sustainable agriculture through environmentally friendly waste utilization.

Kramat Village, located in Tlanakan District, Pamekasan Regency, is a coastal area with abundant fisheries resources, one of which is fish paste (petis ikan), a long-standing local product. However, the processing businesses in this village still face challenges, particularly in terms of simple packaging and traditional marketing patterns, making it difficult to compete in modern markets. To address these issues, the Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas Madura implemented training and mentoring focused on packaging innovation and the introduction of digital marketing strategies. The implementation methods included field observations, interviews with business actors, training to improve product quality, trial application of new packaging, and program evaluation. The results indicated significant improvements in product packaging quality, entrepreneurial skills in branding, and the utilization of social media as a promotional tool. A key achievement was the shift in entrepreneurs’ mindset from merely producing for local consumption to targeting broader markets. The program’s contribution lies in producing more competitive fish paste products, enhancing entrepreneurial literacy among the community, and strengthening the competitiveness of local MSMEs. Therefore, this KKN activity not only creates short-term impacts but also opens opportunities for sustainable community economic development.

The younger generation born in the digital age has great potential to support tax collection. However, the low level of tax compliance among the younger generation is a major concern, especially in the digital age, where the use of online tax services is not yet optimal, tax literacy is still limited, and a lack of socialization is an obstacle to utilizing digital services. This study aims to analyze the influence of preferences for digital tax services and tax literacy on tax compliance among the younger generation at the Majalaya Tax Office. The study uses a quantitative approach with surveys as the data collection method. The sample consists of young taxpayers registered at the Majalaya Tax Office, and the data is analyzed using linear regression to test the partial and simultaneous effects of independent variables on tax compliance. The results show that digitalization preferences have a positive and significant effect on tax compliance, indicating that younger generations who are more responsive to digital services tend to be more compliant. Tax literacy also has a positive and significant effect, showing that a sufficient understanding of tax rights, obligations, and regulations encourages compliance. Simultaneously, the combination of digitalization preferences and tax literacy significantly affects tax compliance, with a coefficient of determination of 0.438, meaning that 43.8% of the variation in compliance can be explained by these two variables. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of integrating easy access to digital services and improved tax literacy to encourage tax compliance among the younger generation.

This research will analyze the increase in judges' salaries and its impact on fair decisions for justice seekers. Furthermore, it also aims to analyze what aspects need to be considered to achieve the ideal goal of the criminal justice process so that judges' decisions can fulfill a sense of justice. The method used in this study is the normative juridical writing method using secondary data obtained through literature study. The results of the study indicate that with an adequate salary increase, judges can focus more on their duties to provide fair decisions and are not tempted by external factors that can affect their independence. In addition, there are several aspects that need to be considered so that the criminal justice process can produce decisions that fulfill a sense of justice, including decisions must be based on the principle of substantive justice, namely justice that considers the material aspects of the case, not just formal procedures. Then there is also consistent application of the law, transparency and accountability. And no less important is respect for human rights. Thus, increasing judges' salaries can be one effort to improve the quality of law enforcement and justice in Indonesia.

Population growth and lifestyle changes in Indonesia have led to complex waste management issues, negatively impacting social, health, and environmental sustainability aspects. To address this, a sustainable management approach that actively involves community participation is necessary. The concept of a Waste Bank, based on the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), emerges as a strategic, community-based solution. This community service program aims to encourage active community participation in the Waste Bank program in Tanjung Uban Selatan, Bintan Regency, while supporting the realization of a Smart City based on intelligent and participatory environments. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to gain in-depth understanding. Primary data collection was carried out through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. Key informants were purposively selected from various stakeholders, including Waste Bank administrators, local government representatives, and community members. The results show that, although initially challenging to increase community participation, the program has had a significant positive impact. It successfully shifted the community's view of waste as a valuable economic resource. Quantitatively, this is reflected in stable income from the sale of high-quality inorganic waste, such as metals and electronic waste. The program also led to strategic innovations, including sustainable education, waste savings incentives, social media use, and the "Dasi Umat" empowerment program. The success of this program, strengthened by awards at the district and national levels, makes it a model for sustainable waste management focused on community empowerment and supporting smart city development.

This research examines the effectiveness of using a repertoire class as a learning strategy in the Media Music course of the Film and Television Production Study Program at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta. The course, offered in the fourth semester, focuses on film music creation, mood development, and instrumental understanding. The study applies the Classroom Action Research method with the primary goal of improving students’ comprehension of film scoring components. Pre-cycle findings showed that students’ understanding was relatively low under previous teaching approaches. To address this, the repertoire class method was introduced. This strategy emphasises active learning through sound samples from various instruments, allowing students to directly experience and analyse how musical elements shape the mood of a film. The interactive design of this method provides not only theoretical insights but also practical, auditory experiences that deepen learning. The research was carried out in three CAR cycles, each evaluating student progress and adjusting strategies as needed. Results demonstrate a notable improvement in learning outcomes. The percentage of students achieving Excellent and Very Good categories increased significantly, while the number in the Poor category decreased. These findings confirm that repertoire classes, especially those incorporating instrumental sound samples, are highly effective in enhancing students’ understanding of the emotional dimension of film music. In conclusion, this approach enriches the learning experience and equips students with both technical knowledge and emotional sensitivity in film scoring. By integrating practice-based methods, the repertoire class proves to be a valuable strategy in media music education.

This study aims to examine the Islamic legal maxim al-yaqīn lā yuzālu bi al-syakk (certainty is not removed by doubt), along with its foundations, branches, and applications in the context of Islamic economics. This maxim plays a crucial role in Islamic legal rulings as it provides guidance that something already established with certainty cannot be nullified merely by subsequent doubt. This research adopts a literature review method by analyzing the Qur’an, hadiths, and various recent academic references. The findings indicate that this legal maxim safeguards legal certainty, prevents decision-making based on mere speculation, and protects individual rights in transactions. Several derivative principles, such as al-ashlu baqā’ mā kāna ‘alā mā kāna, al-ashlu barā’atu al-dzimmah, and al-ashlu fil asy-ya’ al-ibāhah, reinforce the notion that the original legal status remains valid until proven otherwise by strong evidence. Its application in Islamic economics covers trade transactions, mudharabah contracts, asset ownership, and debt settlement, all of which require valid proof before altering an established legal status. This study concludes that implementing the maxim al-yaqīn lā yuzālu bi al-syakk remains highly relevant in the context of modern economic development, as it ensures fairness, minimizes disputes, and promotes secure and sharia-compliant transactions.

This study examines how Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) resolves financing disputes internally. Employing a qualitative approach with library research, the study draws on scholarly articles, books, and related documents. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively to identify common internal settlement practices that align with Sharia principles and national law. Results indicate that BMTs typically use deliberation among parties, mediation involving management or the Sharia Supervisory Board, and restructuring of financing as primary means to resolve conflicts. These options are favored to preserve institutional-member relationships and reduce adverse financial and social consequences. When internal measures do not succeed, disputes may be referred to Sharia arbitration or to religious courts. The findings highlight the importance of blending Sharia values with positive legal frameworks to ensure dispute resolution is fair, efficient, and sustainable.
