The ability to read the Qur’an is a fundamental competence in Islamic education. However, many children still face difficulties in reading the Qur’an accurately and fluently in accordance with tajwid rules. This community service program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to improve Qur’anic reading skills of students at Asy-Syakirin Qur’anic Learning Center (TPQ) in Nibung Village, Kapuas Hulu Regency, West Kalimantan. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively involving teachers and students in all stages of the activities. The implementation consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. During the planning phase, students’ initial reading abilities were identified and grouped into basic (iqra’) and advanced (tahsin) levels, appropriate learning methods were selected, and supporting learning media were prepared. The action phase involved individual and small-group mentoring, guided Qur’an reading with direct correction of pronunciation (makharij al-huruf) and tajwid, application of memorization and dictation (imla’) techniques, and varied teaching approaches through instructor rotation. Evaluation was conducted through pre-tests and post-tests, direct observation of students’ reading performance, and assessment of participation and attendance. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ Qur’anic reading skills, particularly in fluency, accuracy of pronunciation, and basic understanding of tajwid. This program is expected to serve as a sustainable model for improving Qur’anic literacy in Qur’anic learning institutions.

These findings suggest that higher motivation, effective leadership, strong work commitment, and solid teamwork play an important role in improving employee performance. Therefore, it is recommended that the management of the BP Batam Security Directorate continuously enhance employee motivation, apply participatory leadership practices, strengthen organizational commitment, and foster harmonious teamwork to improve overall work performance.

International student enrollment is a critical driver of financial sustainability for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). While advanced forecasting is standard in the corporate sector, its application in educational planning remains limited. This study addresses this gap by comparing the predictive performance of ARIMA, Facebook Prophet, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models. Using a publicly available annual dataset from a US-based institution (2000–2022), the analysis employed a strategic partition training on 2000–2017 and testing on 2018–2019 to validate models on stable, pre-pandemic data. Empirical results revealed that the statistical ARIMA (2,1,0) model demonstrated superior accuracy, achieving a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 1.26%. Conversely, Prophet (11.81%) and LSTM (13.84%) struggled with the limited sample size, failing to generalize effectively compared to the linear approach. The findings suggest that for annual enrollment trends, parsimonious statistical models outperform complex deep learning architectures, providing administrators with a robust, accessible framework for data-driven strategic decision-making.

The shoe manufacturing industry demands a planned, integrated, and consistent production system in maintaining product quality. One of the crucial stages is the gluing process between the outsole (rubber) and the midsole (phylon), which determines the adhesive strength, comfort, and durability of the shoe. This study aims to analyze the implementation of internship activities in a series of gluing processes in the Stockfit Department of PT X. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through direct observation, involvement in production activities, and systematic field recording during the internship period. The analysis was carried out by linking the field findings with the operations management theory of Heizer and Render, the Crosby concept of quality management, and the principles of continuous improvement from Deming and Imai. The results of the study show that the gluing process has been systematically arranged, starting from material adjustment, primary application, the use of two types of glue, the rubber cutting process, to the final pasting. However, problems were found such as dependency between processes, inconsistency in glue thickness, as well as the influence of machine conditions and operator skills. These problems have the potential to reduce production efficiency and the quality of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen process control and apply the principle of continuous improvement to improve overall production performance.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of human resource management (HRM) audits in motivating employee performance at CV Cipta Alignment Constructions (CV.CLC).

Accordingly, strategic tax management constitutes a fundamental tool for ensuring fiscal resilience and promoting sustainable national development.

Students who are working on their undergraduate thesis often experience stress due to academic workload, pressure to graduate on time, and anxiety regarding their academic performance. Spirituality is considered one of the coping mechanisms that may help individuals achieve emotional calmness, life meaning, and self-acceptance, which potentially reduces stress. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of spirituality and stress among students working on their thesis. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 134 students were selected using simple random sampling. The instruments used were the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) to measure spirituality and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) to measure stress levels. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The findings indicate a significant correlation between spirituality and stress levels with a p-value of 0,002. The Spearman correlation coefficient (r = -0,264) indicates a negative correlation, meaning that higher levels of spirituality are associated with lower stress levels among thesis-writing students. There is a significant negative relationship between spirituality and stress among students working on their undergraduate thesis. Increasing spirituality may serve as an effective coping strategy to reduce stress during the thesis completion process.

Digital images often experience noise disturbances that can reduce visual quality and interfere with the image analysis process. One common type of noise is salt and pepper noise, especially in grayscale images, which is characterized by the random appearance of black and white dots. This study applied the Deep Convolutional Autoencoder (DCAE) method with a skip connection mechanism to eliminate salt and pepper noise in grayscale images measuring 256×256 pixels. The dataset used consists of 300 pairs of clean images and noisy images that have gone through the preprocessing stage, including normalization and data augmentation. The model was trained using an Adam optimizer with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss function and validated through a train-test split scheme to avoid overfitting. Model performance was evaluated using Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) metrics. The test results showed that the DCAE model with skip connections was able to effectively reduce noise while maintaining the main structure of the image based on the PSNR and SSIM values obtained, and showed better performance than conventional median filters. In addition, the model was successfully implemented into a Streamlit-based application to perform the image denoising process interactively, making it easier for users to experiment and visualize results in real-time.

This study aims to: (1) describe the Arabic learning outcomes of boarding students at MAS DDI Pattojo; (2) describe the Arabic learning outcomes of non-boarding students; and (3) compare the learning outcomes of both groups. The research used a quantitative method with sociological and pedagogical approaches. The population consisted of 77 students from grades X and XI, with a saturated sampling technique involving 45 boarding students and 32 non-boarding students. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation, while data analysis applied descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings show that both groups demonstrated relatively low performance in Arabic reading skills (mahārah qirā’ah). Boarding students achieved an average score of 30.89, while non-boarding students obtained an average score of 29.69. Furthermore, the Mann-Whitney U test revealed no significant difference between the two groups, as indicated by an Asymp. Sig. value of 0.615, which is greater than 0.05. These results indicate that the place of residence, whether boarding or non-boarding, is not a major factor influencing Arabic learning outcomes at MAS DDI Pattojo, suggesting that other educational or instructional factors may play a more significant role.

Psychology personnel in primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas) play a strategic role in delivering mental health services at the primary level; however, they are frequently confronted with complex and multifaceted job demands. This study aims to examine the effects of workload and work stress on the job performance of psychology personnel in Puskesmas in Surabaya City. A quantitative approach with a correlational cross-sectional design was employed. The study population comprised all psychology personnel working in Puskesmas in Surabaya City, with total sampling applied, resulting in 63 respondents. Workload and work stress were measured using five-point Likert scales, while job performance was assessed based on monthly psychology service reports. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the majority of psychology personnel experienced high workload levels and relatively high work stress, whereas overall job performance was predominantly categorized as good. Regression analysis revealed that workload and work stress simultaneously had a significant effect on job performance, and partially both variables exerted a negative effect on performance. These findings suggest that although psychology personnel are generally able to maintain adequate performance, excessive workload and elevated work stress may potentially undermine performance in the long term if not properly managed. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of systematic workload management and work stress intervention strategies to sustain the quality of psychological services in primary healthcare settings.

PT UVW uses jigs in the vacuum metalizing process that require washing, which is currently done manually, resulting in inefficiency and risks to operators, thus, jig washer machine was created in order to reduce the risk for operators and increasing efficiency, which based on horizontal mixer. This study analyses the effect of agitator design on fluid flow patterns in a jig washing machine to obtain an optimal design. Two agitator design alternatives were developed and tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations at rotational speeds of 70, 75, and 100 rpm, followed by prototype fabrication and performance testing. Simulation results show that the second design produces a higher fluid velocity (20.4 m/s) and a more turbulent and uniform flow pattern compared to the first design (1.7 m/s). Field tests confirmed that the second design achieves higher washing effectiveness (97.14%) with reduced water consumption and shorter washing time. The optimally designed agitator washing machine increases productivity by six times compared to manual washing and reduces operator exposure to hazardous chemicals. This study recommends the second agitator design for improving washing efficiency and effectiveness.

This research evaluates the effectiveness of human capital development policies in Indonesia within the education and health sectors during the periods of 2015–2019 and 2020–2024. The analysis focuses on strategic programs implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Health by comparing planned targets with the realization of performance indicators as stated in the Strategic Plan (Renstra) documents. The study employs a qualitative evaluative approach supported by descriptive quantitative data derived from official planning and performance reports. The findings indicate that during the 2015–2019 period, programs emphasizing the expansion of basic education and health services were relatively effective in increasing participation rates and improving equitable access. In contrast, programs aimed at enhancing the quality of human resources, particularly teacher development and institutional capacity building, showed lower levels of effectiveness due to weak performance measurement systems and inconsistent data reporting. During the 2020–2024 period, the effectiveness of most education and health programs declined significantly as a result of external shocks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, health programs with strong financial protection mechanisms, such as the National Health Insurance (JKN), demonstrated greater resilience compared to other programs. The study concludes that the effectiveness of human capital development policies is strongly influenced by the clarity of performance indicators, consistency in program implementation, institutional capacity, and the ability of policies to adapt to external disruptions.

This study aims to analyze the effects of work motivation and career development on nurses’ performance through job satisfaction among nurses at Pertamina Balikpapan Hospital. Nurses’ performance is a key determinant of service quality and patient safety because nurses interact most intensively with patients and ensure continuity of nursing care. However, prior studies on the relationships among motivation, career development, job satisfaction, and performance have reported mixed findings. Therefore, further examination is needed by incorporating job satisfaction as a mediating variable to explain the mechanism of influence more comprehensively. This research employed an explanatory design with a quantitative approach. Primary data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 165 permanent nurses selected through purposive sampling from a population of 292 nurses. Data were analyzed using variance-based SEM with SmartPLS 4, including outer model evaluation (convergent and discriminant validity) and construct reliability, as well as inner model assessment through the coefficient of determination, effect size, and hypothesis testing using bootstrapping. The results indicate that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, and career development also has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on nurses’ performance. In addition, work motivation and career development have positive and significant direct effects on nurses’ performance. Indirect effect testing confirms that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between work motivation and nurses’ performance and also mediates the relationship between career development and nurses’ performance. These findings emphasize that hospitals should strengthen strategies to enhance motivation and career development in a targeted manner while ensuring key sources of job satisfaction so that nurses’ performance improves sustainably.

Citra Jalatarangga is a karawitan composition that is contextually inspired by the duality of freshwater and seawater springs found at Geger Beach. The duality embodied in this idea serves as the fundamental concept and is subsequently implemented in the formulation and structuring of Balinese karawitan performance techniques. This paper discusses the process of creating the work, the formal structure of the composition, and the aesthetic values contained within it. The karawitan composition Citra Jalatarangga employs three theoretical frameworks as analytical tools to describe the duality of the different water sources. Transformation theory is used to determine the form and structure of the composition, creativity theory serves as a reference in the creative process, and postmodern aesthetic theory functions as a guideline for applying aesthetic nuances to the work. The creative method used in the creation of Citra Jalatarangga is the Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani method, which consists of five stages: the inspiration stage (ngawirasa), the exploration stage (ngawacak), the conception stage (ngarencana), the execution stage (ngawangun), and the production stage (ngebah). This work utilizes several instruments from the Gamelan Semara Dana as its expressive medium and is structured into three sections, each representing the duality of the water sources through different formulations and performance techniques. In addition, instrument arrangement, costume design, and lighting design also function as supporting aspects in the presentation of the work, which was staged at Wantilan Banjar Sawangan, Desa Adat Peminge.

Company value is an important indicator that reflects company performance and investor perceptions of future business prospects and sustainability. Various strategic decisions made by management, such as capital intensity management, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness policies, play a significant role in shaping company value. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of capital intensity, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness on company value through a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review by examining various relevant national and international scientific articles obtained from academic databases such as Google Scholar, Publish or Perish, and SINTA. The results of the study show that capital intensity has a positive effect on company value because it reflects long-term production capacity and operational efficiency. Investment decisions have also been proven to have a positive effect on company value because they signal management's optimism about future growth prospects. Meanwhile, tax aggressiveness can increase company value through tax savings and increased cash flow, but it has the potential to cause reputational and governance risks if done excessively. Overall, the reviewed literature shows that these three variables have an impact on company value, with the caveat that optimal and transparent management is necessary. This study is expected to serve as a reference for further research and as a consideration for company management and investors in making strategic decisions.
