The National Food Assistance Program (Non-Cash Food Assistance/BPNT) is one of the social policy instruments designed by the Indonesian government to enhance food security and improve the welfare of poor households. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of this program by assessing its accessibility, targeting accuracy, commodity quality, and its impact on household expenditure and stability of food consumption.The research methodology uses a descriptive-analytical approach, combining secondary data from official government reports and academic literature with primary data in the form of a limited survey of beneficiaries.The results of the analysis indicate that the program is quite effective in increasing poor households' access to staple foods, primarily through the more transparent and flexible non-cash distribution mechanism. However, several constraints are still found, including inaccurate targeting of beneficiaries, variation in food quality at the e-warung level, and the limited digital literacy of some households.Nevertheless, the program is proven to be able to reduce the burden of food expenditure and improve consumption quality, thereby contributing positively to the welfare of poor households. This research suggests improving the validation of beneficiary data, supervising distribution, and expanding food and digital education for the community to further optimize the program's effectiveness.

The concept of money in Islamic economics is grounded in the understanding that money is not merely a medium of exchange but a trust that must be managed according to the principles of justice, benefit, and ethical conduct. In this perspective, money cannot be treated as a commodity traded solely for profit without supporting real economic activities, making practices such as usury (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and hoarding incompatible with Islamic values due to their potential to create inequality and economic instability. Islamic economics emphasizes that the circulation of money must be connected to the real sector to generate added value and support sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, the management of money aims to promote fairness and social balance through mechanisms such as zakat, infaq, and charity. Thus, the Islamic view of money provides an ethical foundation and practical framework for developing a financial system that is stable, inclusive, and oriented toward societal well-being.

This study aims to analyze the level of flood hazard in Baturaja Barat District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, by applying a spatial approach using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the overlay method. The analysis was carried out by integrating six main physical parameters, namely rainfall, land use, elevation, slope, river density, and soil type. Each parameter was assigned a score and weight according to its influence on flood potential and subsequently processed spatially to produce a flood hazard map. The results indicate that the Baturaja Barat District area is classified into three hazard levels: low (3.25%), moderate (70.64%), and high (25.84%). Areas with high hazard levels are predominantly characterized by densely populated settlements situated at low elevations and in close proximity to river networks, particularly in Tanjung Karang, Air Gading, Talang Jawa, Karang Agung, and surrounding villages. These findings highlight that land-use changes, topographic conditions, and the distribution of river networks play significant roles in increasing flood risk. The results of this study are expected to serve as a foundation for spatial planning, the strengthening of disaster mitigation policies, and the enhancement of community preparedness against flood hazards in the region.

This research originated from a concern about the existence of villages that are factually underdeveloped, but aren't recognized as 3T (Terdepan, Tertinggal, dan Terdepan) regions in the national regulatory framework. This research was conducted in Kabupaten Banyumas, which consists of 301 villages, with several villages indicated to be underdeveloped. Through the analysis of secondary data from BPS, Dinsospermades, and Bappedalitbang Banyumas, this study took 6 sample villages to analyze in order to understand the pattern of underdevelopment that is not covered by the formal 3T status. The purpose of this study is to highlight the reality of de facto remote areas that aren’t administratively recognized as 3T areas, and therefore don't have access to special funding schemes, and to examine the potential for replication of 3T area policies that can be adapted in Kabupaten Banyumas, with adjustments to local characteristics. Using a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews with village government officials, this research mapped the needs, barriers, and opportunities for more contextualized policy interventions. This research recommends the development of a planning and budgeting model based on local needs and a social justice approach in the distribution of development resources. Thus, Banyumas can become an alternative policy laboratory to address development inequality outside the formal framework of the 3T regions.  

The disparity in the quality of rehabilitation services across regional work units presents a significant challenge to effective public management. This study aims to bridge the gap between problem diagnosis and policy prediction by proposing a hybrid, data-driven approach. We integrate K-Means Clustering to map the current state of service quality and Stochastic Simulation to predict the impact of strategic interventions. Using the 2024 Public Satisfaction Index (IKM) dataset from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), the K-Means algorithm initially identified 26 work units (15.7%) in the "Red Zone" (critical performance), highlighting urgent areas for improvement. Next, a stochastic simulation modeling a "Directed Priority Intervention" scenario was run. The results predicted a significant structural shift in the distribution of service quality, characterized by an 80.8% decrease in critical units (down to 5 units) and a 71.8% increase in excellent performing units (up to 67 units). These findings validate that the integration of clustering and simulation provides a comprehensive framework for evidence-based decision-making, enabling policymakers to optimize resource allocation and efficiently accelerate national service standardization.

This study aims to describe the community empowerment strategy implemented by Lazis Nurul Falah in supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Ketintang, Surabaya. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach with observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Data were collected directly during the distribution of business capital assistance and mentoring of beneficiaries. The results show that the empowerment program focused on improving economic independence through financial aid, business equipment, and moral support from volunteers. Although conducted modestly, the program had a significant impact on beneficiaries’ confidence and motivation to continue their businesses. It also strengthened social and Islamic values such as ta‘āwun (mutual help) and built harmonious relations between the institution, volunteers, and the community. The study concludes that empowerment based on collaboration and social proximity can create positive change and serve as an effective model to promote community economic independence.

Corn production in the provinces of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) exhibits dynamics influenced by agro-climatic factors, the utilization of production facilities, and the welfare condition of the farmers. This study aims to analyze the impact of rainfall, solar radiation, and production inputs on corn productivity; to explain the relationship between production changes and the Farmer’s Exchange Rate (NTP) as a welfare indicator; and to evaluate the contribution of the corn subsector to the agricultural Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). The research method uses a descriptive-quantitative approach based on BPS data and official local government documents. The results indicate that NTB has more stable productivity due to relatively even rainfall and better support for production facilities, whereas NTT faces higher production fluctuations due to greater climate variability. Furthermore, the NTP in NTB tends to be better than in NTT, aligning with the stability of its productivity. Corn contributes significantly to the agricultural GRDP in both provinces, particularly in central production areas such as Dompu and Bima. Policy implications include the necessity for strengthening post-harvest infrastructure, more equitable input distribution, and climate adaptation strategies in drought-prone areas. The findings provide an empirical basis for sustainable productivity improvement and farmer welfare policies.

The strong bargaining power imbalance in the formation of sales contracts, particularly in standard contracts unilaterally drafted by business actors, undermines the principle of freedom of contract, as it is not accompanied by the principle of balance that should ensure a proportional distribution of rights and obligations. This study aims to identify legal issues arising from such imbalances and examine how the principle of balance can be effectively implemented to achieve contractual justice. Using a normative juridical method and conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches, the research finds that exoneration clauses, unilateral clauses, and “take it or leave it” practices are the primary causes of the loss of substantive consensus in standard contracts. The findings indicate that existing legal protections are still insufficient to prevent the dominance of business actors an issue increasingly evident in the rapidly growing digital sector. The study highlights the need for stronger supervisory instruments, greater transparency in contract drafting, and the reformulation of standard clauses to better reflect proportionality. It also opens opportunities for further empirical research to assess the effectiveness of applying the principle of balance in everyday contractual practices.

The research methods include observation, the implementation of interactive quizzes, and the distribution of learning-interest questionnaires administered before and after using the media. The results indicate that Quizizz creates a more enjoyable, competitive, and participatory learning atmosphere, contributing significantly to the improvement of students’ learning interest. Therefore, Quizizz can be considered an effective digital learning alternative to support the teaching and learning process in senior high schools.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is one of the main instruments of social protection policies in Indonesia that aims to reduce poverty through conditional social assistance. However, in its implementation, this program still faces various problems related to the accuracy of the aid distribution targets, especially in urban areas such as Jagakarsa District, South Jakarta. This study aims to analyze various problems in the distribution of PKH social assistance, assess their impact on the effectiveness of poverty alleviation, and identify strategies that can ensure targeted assistance. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with a case study method, through data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of PKH companions, Beneficiary Families (KPM), and village officials in Jagakarsa District. The results of the study show that although PKH has provided real benefits for most KPMs, its implementation is still constrained by inaccurate data, limited capacity of companions, low digital literacy, and weak coordination between agencies. On the other hand, targeted distribution of assistance has been proven to increase access to education and health, improve household economic conditions, and encourage behavioral changes towards independence. Therefore, an integrated strategy is needed including strengthening the capacity of social companions, digitizing the distribution system, active community participation, and local culture-based empowerment education to ensure the long-term effectiveness of PKH in reducing poverty rates.

This study aims to examine the effects of workload, job stress, and work spirit on employee performance at PT Victory International Futures Surabaya, a financial services company operating in the highly demanding futures trading industry. Employing a quantitative descriptive–correlational approach, data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression using JASP and Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using WarpPLS, which is suitable for addressing multicollinearity issues and relatively small sample sizes (n = 37). The findings reveal that workload and job stress have significant negative effects on employee performance, whereas work spirit has a significant positive effect and emerges as the most dominant predictor. These results reinforce the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) theory, which posits that job demands such as workload and stress can reduce performance when not balanced with adequate psychological resources like work spirit. Practically, the study recommends that management optimize workload distribution, implement stress management strategies, and strengthen employee motivation to improve performance sustainably. The study is limited by its small sample size and single-company focus, suggesting that future research should expand the organizational context and incorporate additional variables such as job satisfaction or organizational commitment.  

High concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) resulting from industrial activities, transportation, and land cover change can pose environmental and health risks in Grobogan District. This study uses remote sensing data and spatial analysis to map the spatial distribution of CO concentrations and forest land cover at the village level. The findings of this study show a strong and significant negative spatial correlation (Bivariate Moran's I = -0.467) between forest land and CO concentrations. There are five clusters, with the Low-High cluster (66 villages) in several subdistricts such as Godong, Penawangan, and Karangrayung requiring special attention because the low forest land in these areas is surrounded by high CO concentrations in the surrounding areas. This study makes an important contribution to adaptive environmental and spatial mapping. In addition, the results support the achievement by offering policy strategies that are in line with the principles of green development. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the important role of pentahelix collaboration in strengthening the spatial planning to environmental risks in Grobogan Regency.

Hypertension substantially increases the risk of developing secondary conditions, including stroke, renal disease, coronary heart disease, and heart failure. Early management is therefore essential to prevent complications and adverse outcomes. Evidence indicates that untreated hypertension contributes to approximately 60% of stroke cases. Public knowledge regarding hypertension-related complications remains limited, and many individuals are unable to identify early signs of stroke the most common complication associated with hypertension. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of hypertensive patients regarding stroke risk and management at Santa Elisabeth Hospital Medan in 2024. A descriptive research design was employed. The sample consisted of 67 hypertensive patients attending the outpatient clinic, selected through purposive sampling. Data were presented using frequency distribution tables. The findings revealed that 52.2% of respondents demonstrated poor knowledge, 32.8% had moderate knowledge, and only 14.9% showed good knowledge regarding stroke risk and management. These results underscore the need for patients to adopt healthier lifestyles and for the hospital to strengthen educational efforts by providing more engaging and interactive learning materials for patients and their families.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly influenced students’ learning behavior while gradually reducing their interest in local cultural education, including the study of the Javanese script. This phenomenon is evident at SDIP Haji Muhammad Subandi, where most students still struggle to recognize, read, and understand Javanese characters due to the limited use of engaging and interactive learning media. To address this issue, a 2D educational game was developed as an innovative, contextual, and enjoyable learning medium that integrates cultural elements into an interactive digital learning experience. The design and development process employed the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method, which consists of six stages: concept, design, material collecting, assembly, testing, and distribution. The game was built using Unity software to produce dynamic visuals, responsive controls, and supporting audio elements that enhance the immersive quality of gameplay. The educational game enables students to learn Javanese script through interactive play activities, including letter recognition, pronunciation practice, and quiz-based challenges. Each component was designed to strengthen cognitive understanding while increasing students’ intrinsic motivation to learn. Expert validation results indicated that the game met the “highly feasible” criteria as a learning medium, while user testing showed notable improvements in motivation, engagement, and learning enjoyment. Overall, this educational game not only enhances learning effectiveness but also contributes to the preservation and revitalization of the Javanese script as part of Indonesia’s cultural heritage in the digital era. Therefore, this game-based learning approach serves as an adaptive and culturally grounded educational innovation for primary-level students

This study aims to simulate the M/M/1 queueing system using Python through a Modeling and Simulation approach supported by the Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) method. The objective of the research is to analyze key performance indicators of queueing behavior, including arrival time, service time, waiting time, queue length, and server utilization. The methodology employs DES, which models system behavior based on discrete events such as customer arrivals, service initiation, and service completion. The simulation generates stochastic arrival and service times using Poisson and exponential distributions, respectively. The results indicate that the DES-based M/M/1 simulation accurately reflects theoretical queueing behavior, showing increases in waiting times and queue lengths when arrival rates approach service rates, while server utilization corresponds to system load intensity. The findings demonstrate that DES is an effective approach for analyzing queue performance and can be extended to more complex models such as multi-server systems, priority queues, and predictive simulations using artificial intelligence.

The development of digital technology has greatly influenced consumer behavior, particularly among Generation Z, who are dominant in Indonesia's hijab fashion market. This shift requires businesses to adapt their strategies to meet the dynamic, trend-driven, and digitally-savvy preferences of young consumers. This study examines the business development strategy of Leenavie.id, a hijab brand, and the challenges it faces in targeting Generation Z. Using a qualitative approach with case study methodology, in-depth interviews with business owners were conducted to gain insights into the business development process. The findings show that Leenavie.id focuses on product innovation, competitive pricing, social media as a primary distribution and promotion channel, and leveraging e-WOM for brand awareness and emotional connections with consumers. Success indicators include a high repeat order rate, positive market response, and external collaboration offers. However, challenges such as limited capital, small production capacity, and underutilization of the marketplace hinder scalability. The study suggests that enhancing digital adaptation, strengthening operational capacity, and fostering strategic collaborations are key to improving the competitiveness and sustainability of local hijab businesses. Future research should include consumer perspectives for a more comprehensive understanding of customer behavior and loyalty.

This study aims to analyze the importance of regulating property division agreements as a requirement in polygamy permit applications, using the approach of Aristotle's theory of justice, as well as maqā ṣ id al- syarī'ah in Islamic law. The type of research is normative, which includes conceptual and philosophical analysis of law, as well as comparative research on property regulation practices in the family law system. The study shows that the practice of polygamy tends to result in economic inequality, neglect of the rights of the first wife and children, and legal conflicts related to the ownership and division of joint property. There are two approaches to property division: equal distribution of property and division of property based on contribution. The results indicate that the contribution-based approach is fairer and more relevant to modern society, especially since women are increasingly involved in household expenses. The principle of sadd al-dzarī'ah also states that this agreement is very important as a preventive measure against possible damage that occurs in the household. Practically, this study proposes the implementation of regulations in state law to require property division agreements as a formal requirement in polygamy permit applications. Combining western and Islamic values of justice within a socially just family law framework is the main focus of this research.

Anemia is one of the most common nutritional problems in the world and is mainly caused by iron deficiency. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among adolescents remains high, especially in adolescent girls who have greater iron requirements due to growth and menstruation. Low levels of knowledge, unbalanced dietary patterns, and poor adherence to iron supplementation are the main factors contributing to anemia in this group. Therefore, efforts to increase knowledge through health education activities are needed. This Community Service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia prevention through improving iron intake and adopting a healthy lifestyle. The activity was carried out in Bongohulawa, Limboto District, Gorontalo Regency, on November 3, 2025, involving 40 adolescent girls. The methods used included health education, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and distribution of educational media. Evaluation was conducted using a pre-test and post-test. The pre-test results showed that only 25% of participants had good knowledge, while 45% had moderate knowledge and 30% had poor knowledge. After the educational intervention, the percentage of participants with good knowledge increased to 75%, moderate knowledge decreased to 20%, and poor knowledge decreased to 5%. It can be concluded that this educational activity was effective in increasing adolescent girls’ knowledge of anemia prevention and the importance of iron intake and a healthy lifestyle as early preventive measures.

This study examines the relationship between market efficiency and digital financial innovation in the context of global financial transformation over the past decade, when fintech, cryptocurrency, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) have significantly altered price formation and information dissemination mechanisms. The main issue raised is whether the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) theory remains relevant in the face of digital market dynamics characterized by high volatility, speculative behavior, and regulatory uncertainty. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of digital innovation on information efficiency, price transparency, and the stability of modern financial markets. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, examining 15 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 from various academic databases. The findings indicate that digital technology increases access and speed of information distribution, but does not always result in consistently efficient markets. Crypto and DeFi markets have been shown to exhibit fluctuating efficiency due to price anomalies, information asymmetry, and weak regulation. Overall, the literature synthesis confirms that market efficiency in the digital era is dynamic and influenced by the interaction between technology, investor behavior, and governance quality. This study concludes that the EMH remains relevant as a basic framework, but needs reinterpretation to suit the complex and rapidly changing characteristics of digital markets.
