This study examines in depth the concepts of maysir, gharar, and riba as three practices that are prohibited in sharia economics because they are considered to cause injustice and imbalance in economic activities. Through an analysis of the postulates of the Qur'an and Hadith, this study confirms that the prohibition of maysir is based on the element of excessive speculation that harms one of the parties, gharar is rejected because it contains ambiguity in the object and contract, while riba is prohibited because it creates an unequal addition in financial transactions. In addition, the study highlights how other religions and various modern economic systems have paid attention to the principles that are in line with the prohibition of these three concepts, especially related to business ethics, social justice, and economic risk mitigation. A cross-faith perspective shows that universal values such as honesty, transparency, and balance are essential foundations for building a sustainable economic order. By combining normative perspectives and cross-tradition comparisons, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dangers of maysir, gharar, and usury, as well as the implications of the implementation of their prohibition in modern economic life. The results of the study are expected to be a reference in formulating economic practices that are fair, stable, and able to be widely applied in various communities.

This study aims to explore the role of digital storytelling (DST) as a 21st-century learning strategy in strengthening character education. The rapid development of digital technology and the growing emphasis on student-centered learning have made DST a relevant pedagogical approach that integrates creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication with values-based education. Using a simple systematic literature review (SLR) approach, this study analyzed eight peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2024, obtained from international academic databases Scopus. Thematic content analysis was used to synthesize findings and map the contribution of DST to 21st-century learning competencies and character development. The results identified eight key themes: increased student engagement, improved collaboration and communication, enhanced critical thinking and decision-making, creativity and multimodal expression, self-reflection and identity building, empathy and social awareness, interdisciplinary and authentic learning, and the formation of moral values. These findings support constructivist and experiential learning theories and suggest that DST not only enhances cognitive skills but also facilitates affective and ethical development. The study concludes that DST can be a transformative instructional tool in modern education. Practical implications include integrating DST into curricula across disciplines and levels, and equipping educators with training in digital pedagogy and reflective teaching design. Further research is recommended to explore DST implementation in primary and secondary schools and to evaluate its impact using mixed methods.

Public relations in schools plays a crucial role in building effective communication between the school and the community. Its primary functions include disseminating information, building a positive image, and establishing cooperation with external parties. This study aims to assess the implementation of the Public Relations function as a functional position in improving public communication at SDN Sempusari 01 Jember. The approach used was descriptive qualitative with data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that although the Public Relations function has been implemented, its implementation is still not optimal. Communication activities such as publications and community engagement have been carried out, but are not well structured. The main obstacle lies in the lack of functional staff and understanding of the role of public relations. Therefore, improving the competence of teaching staff is necessary for a more optimal role of Public Relations in strengthening public communication in elementary schools.

Rapid global population growth has led to climate change and agricultural land degradation, posing significant challenges to the stability of global food security. The traditional livestock sector is known to absorb high levels of greenhouse gas emissions that can accelerate natural resource degradation and require innovative and sustainable approaches to meet the demand for animal protein. This study aims to analyze the contribution of cultured meat technology as an ethical and environmentally friendly alternative to improving global food security. This study uses a desk study method that addresses the technical, social, economic, and ethical aspects of cultured meat production. The analysis results indicate that the application of this technology has the potential to reduce land use and carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to conventional livestock systems, in addition to reducing animal suffering and the risk of zoonotic disease transmission. However, its application still faces several obstacles, such as high production costs, dependence on whey-based culture media, and difficulties in halal certification and public acceptance. These findings underscore the importance of synergy between scientists, governments, and religious authorities to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and equivalence of technology with ethical principles and socio-cultural values. With strong regulatory support and ongoing research, cultured meat technology has the potential to be a strategic solution for building a resilient, equitable, and environmentally responsible global food system.

The activities focused on a one-day face-to-face workshop for representatives from 30 clubs, utilizing interactive lectures, local case studies, targeted discussions, and the distribution of practical handouts including organizational structure templates, code of conduct, one-page financial reports, content calendars, and matchday checklists. The core materials covered five areas: governance & legal, planning & OKR, finance & accountability, marketing & sponsorship, and operations & safeguarding. The program concludes that a brief, capacity-building workshop can trigger the initial professionalization of amateur football clubs through measurable, easy-to-adopt, and replicable minimum viable governance practices. These findings are relevant as a model for strengthening governance and management of amateur clubs in Indonesia, while also supporting a more professional, accountable, and sustainable community sports ecosystem.

The use of Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) for optimizing software architecture has evolved from fully automated to interactive approaches, integrating human expertise. However, current interactive tools face limitations: they typically support only single decision-makers, confine architects to passive roles, and induce significant cognitive fatigue from repetitive evaluations. These issues disconnect them from modern, team-based software development, where collaboration and consensus are crucial. To address these shortcomings, we propose "ArchEvolve," a novel framework designed to facilitate collaborative, multi-architect decision-making. ArchEvolve employs a cooperative coevolutionary model that concurrently evolves a population of candidate architectures and distinct populations representing each architect's unique preferences. This structure guides the search towards high-quality consensus solutions that accommodate diverse, often conflicting, stakeholder viewpoints. An integrated Artificial Neural Network (ANN) serves as a preference learning module, trained on explicit team feedback to act as a surrogate evaluator. This active learning cycle substantially reduces the number of required human interactions and alleviates user fatigue. Empirical evaluation on two industrial case studies (E-Commerce System and Healthcare Management System) compared ArchEvolve to a state-of-the-art interactive baseline. Results indicate that ArchEvolve achieves statistically significant improvements in both solution quality and consensus-building. The preference learning module demonstrated over 90% accuracy in predicting team ratings and reduced human evaluations by up to 46% without compromising final solution quality. ArchEvolve provides a practical, scalable framework supporting collaborative, consensus-driven architectural design, making interactive optimization a more viable and efficient tool for real-world software engineering teams by intelligently integrating cooperative coevolutionary search with a preference learning surrogate.

Mathematics learning demands optimal student activity, concentration, and participation. However, many students still exhibit a passive attitude during the learning process, resulting in learning outcomes that have not reached the expected level. This article aims to analyze various effective classroom management strategies for fostering enthusiasm for learning and increasing student participation in mathematics learning. This study uses a library research method by reviewing various scientific sources, such as journals, academic books, and relevant research reports. The results of the study indicate that effective classroom management plays a crucial role in creating a conducive, interactive, and student-centered learning environment. Teachers function not only as transmitters of material but also as facilitators and administrators capable of building positive social relationships and motivating students to actively think and participate. Preventive, curative, and repressive classroom management strategies have been proven to improve student focus, motivation, and learning outcomes, especially when integrated with learning approaches such as discovery learning, teacher-centered learning, and the use of creative methods like squad games and block systems. Thus, adaptive and innovative classroom management is key to realizing participatory, enjoyable, and meaningful mathematics learning for the development of students' overall potential.

Islamic economic instruments in the Indonesian economic system play an important role, such as waqf which can provide many benefits to society. Waqf instruments continue to innovate, where previously they were limited to land or buildings, now there are waqf instruments in the form of money. However, cash waqf is considered to be still not optimal because the potential of existing waqf is very far from the waqf that can be collected. This study aims to determine whether there is an influence of attitudes, subjective norms, performance expectations and social influences on intentions to endow money. The population of this study is the Muslim community in the city of Semarang. By taking a sample of 150 respondents by purposive non-random sampling. The data collection used a Googleform questionnaire, the data analysis method used SEM (Structural Equation Model) based on the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results showed that the research model used was valid and reliable so that it was used properly. Based on the hypothesis test, the result is that attitude has a positive and significant direct effect on the intention of cash waqf. Subjective norms have a positive and not significant direct effect on cash waqf intentions. Performance Expectation has a positive and significant effect on cash waqf intentions. Social influence has a positive and insignificant effect on cash waqf intentions. The conclusion from this study is that the higher the attitude factor in a person which comes from beliefs in behaviour, the higher the intention of cash waqf, and the higher the performance expectation factor which comes from the level of confidence in obtaining profits in behaviour, the higher the intention of cash waqf. Likewise, subjective norm factors originating from social pressure have no influence on cash waqf intentions and social influence factors originating from social pressure in perceiving the use of the system have no influence on cash waqf intentions.

Delays in high-rise building construction projects in Surabaya are a crucial issue as they can significantly affect cost, quality, and project completion schedules. This reserach intends to identify the dominant factors contributing to project delays using the Relative Importance Index (RII) method, considering both frequency and impact aspects. Data were obtained from 80 valid respondents who hold strategic roles in construction project implementation, such as Project Managers, Site Managers, Site Engineers, Estimators, Field Supervisors, General Managers, and Company Directors. The analysis results indicate that in terms of frequency, the dominant factors are unfavorable weather conditions (RII = 0.750), labor shortages (RII = 0.743), and design changes during construction (RII = 0.735). Meanwhile, in terms of impact, the dominant factors are delays in material delivery (RII = 0.780), labor shortages (RII = 0.770), and substandard material quality (RII = 0.740). These findings emphasize that labor shortage consistently influences project delays in both frequency and impact, while weather and material factors show different patterns between occurrence and consequence. All dominant factors were classified into the High-Medium category, indicating that they should be prioritized in project risk management.

Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) serves as a vital instrument in supporting regional independence and public welfare. For decades, the Land and Building Tax (PBB) has been one of the primary sources of local revenue; however, excessive dependence on PBB is considered less effective in promoting equitable economic development and enhancing citizens’ economic rights. Forcing PBB increases of hundreds of percent, as has recently occurred in a number of regions such as Pati Regency, Central Java, and dozens of other regions amid the current difficult economic situation, has invited criticism and protests. This policy has been accused of violating human rights. For this reason this study aims to analyze the urgency of exploring alternative local revenue sources beyond PBB, such as local taxes, public service retributions, management of regional assets, and innovative revenue models based on local potential. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature review and fiscal policy analysis at the regional level. The findings indicate that diversification of local revenue sources can strengthen regional fiscal capacity, improve public service delivery, and foster broader community economic participation. By sustainably and transparently developing local potential, local governments can not only enhance community welfare but also uphold the principle of economic justice as mandated by the Constitution. Therefore, optimizing local revenue sources beyond PBB represents a strategic step toward inclusive and equitable regional economic independence.

The halal cosmetics industry in Indonesia has grown rapidly in recent years in line with the increasing awareness of Muslim consumers regarding product safety, cleanliness, and compliance with Islamic law. However, this industry still faces several challenges, particularly related to the availability of halal-certified raw materials, production process standardization, and coordination among key stakeholders. This study aims to analyze the synergy between the government, business actors, and halal certification institutions in the development of the halal cosmetics cluster in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, this research draws on literature analysis and applies the concepts of halal industry clusters and the triple helix model. The results indicate that collaboration among cosmetic manufacturers, government institutions, and certification bodies such as BPOM and LPPOM-MUI has strengthened consumer trust and legal assurance regarding halal products. Nevertheless, barriers remain, including limited knowledge among producers about halal standards and uneven support infrastructures across regions. Therefore, strengthening policy integration, capacity building for industry players, and institutional support is necessary to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the halal cosmetics industry in accordance with the principles of Maqashid Sharia.

This study aims to analyze the role of Public Relations in establishing partnerships with the press to increase publicity at SMPN 12 Jember. The background of this study is influenced by the importance of positive media publications in building a school's reputation and competitiveness amidst intense competition among educational institutions. The research method used is a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies of public relations staff and media partners. The results show that the role of public relations has evolved from an administrative function to a strategic spearhead that manages two-way communication, fosters relationships, and builds reputation. The strategies implemented include the use of convergent media, by combining traditional media (such as school magazines and brochures) with digital media (such as websites, Instagram, and YouTube) to expand the reach of messages. In addition, adaptations to local culture, such as the use of polite Javanese language and a family-like approach, have proven effective in building public trust. This study also emphasizes the importance of systematic and participatory evaluation to improve program effectiveness. The implications of this study suggest that schools design measurable and contextual public relations strategies with local values ​​to increase the school's visibility and positive image.

This research reveals that elementary schools can adopt modern public relations principles. The study implies the need to strengthen two-way symmetrical communication, optimize digital media utilization, and develop measurable evaluation indicators for school public relations programs.

An organization's inability to build employee loyalty amidst competitive business pressures can have a direct impact on productivity, operational efficiency, and the retention of key talent. This study aims to analyze the role of job satisfaction as a key mediator in increasing employee loyalty at PT. Dua Kelinci. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to a total of 190 active employees of PT. Dua Kelinci. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that Motivation, job stress, and job satisfaction were proven to have a significant effect on employee loyalty, while the work environment, workload, and work rewards did not have a significant direct effect. However, the job satisfaction variable was able to significantly mediate the relationship between Motivation, job stress, work environment, and workload on employee loyalty, but did not significantly influence employee loyalty through job satisfaction. These findings confirm that job satisfaction is not only the result of good working conditions, but also a key factor in building and strengthening employee loyalty indirectly. Practically, this study provides an important contribution to companies in designing strategies to increase employee loyalty. Theoretically, this study enriches the literature on mediation mechanisms in employee behavior models, particularly in the context of the manufacturing industry.
