Instagram has become a strategic medium for government institutions in delivering public information, particularly weather and disaster-related information that requires speed, clarity, and ease of understanding. The BMKG of Gowa Regency utilizes digital communication innovations through the use of informative memes and a virtual character named Shinna as a visual communication strategy to enhance the effectiveness of information dissemination to the public. This study aims to analyze the influence of meme usage and the virtual character Shinna on the information satisfaction of Instagram users of BMKG Gowa Regency by employing the Stimulus–Response (S–R) theory perspective, which views visual messages as stimuli capable of eliciting cognitive and affective responses from audiences. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through an online questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale administered to followers of the BMKG Gowa Regency Instagram account who had viewed or interacted with meme content and the virtual character Shinna. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The results indicate that the use of memes and the virtual character Shinna has a positive and significant effect on users’ information satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. Meme usage shows a more dominant influence compared to the virtual character Shinna, while the coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.834 indicates that both variables explain 83.4% of the variance in users’ information satisfaction. These findings confirm that public communication strategies based on memes and virtual characters are effective in enhancing audience understanding, comfort, and satisfaction with disaster-related information.

The rapid development of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology offers significant efficiency opportunities across various sectors; however, empirical research within the local Indonesian context, particularly in Batam City, remains scarce. This exploratory study aims to analyze the influence of positive perception, negative perception, and AI regulation understanding on technology adoption trends, as well as productivity and product innovation opportunities among creative industry players. The creative industry is a focal point due to the inherent tension between technological efficiency and the preservation of human originality in the creative process. This research employs a quantitative causal approach, utilizing a sample of 30 respondents reached through snowball sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that only positive perception has a significant direct impact on product innovation (p=0.004), while AI regulation and technical adoption do not show significant effects. This suggests that a positive technology mindset is a more decisive factor for innovation than technical mastery or current regulatory compliance. These results underscore the urgent need for local government socialization of AI policies and enhanced digital literacy for Batam's creative practitioners to transform them from mere users into strategic AI-driven innovators.

This study aims to analyze the Islamic conception of science and its relationship with science, and examine the urgency of integrating the two in facing the challenges of modern science. The research method applied in this study is a literature study with a qualitative approach, through descriptive and interpretive analysis of various relevant literature sources. The research findings indicate that the integration between Islamic science and science plays a strategic role in overcoming the scientific dichotomy, strengthening the ethical foundation of science, and building a scientific paradigm oriented towards the values ​​of monotheism and humanity. Thus, the Islamic conception of science and science offers an alternative, holistic and sustainable scientific framework.

This study investigates how faith-based giving can be transformed into measurable development impact in the education sector, focusing on the Global Muslim Philanthropy Fund for Children (GMPFC) established by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) in partnership with UNICEF. Traditional Islamic philanthropic instruments, such as zakat and sadaqah, often provide short-term relief but lack structured governance, limiting their long-term impact on educational outcomes. Using a qualitative-explorative, this research analyzes secondary data from 2021–2025, including institutional reports, program documents, and peer-reviewed literature, to assess how GMPFC operationalizes faith-based resources through pooled, multilateral, and impact-oriented mechanisms. The findings indicate that GMPFC strategically funds education-enabling conditions, including child health, nutrition, psychosocial wellbeing, and youth empowerment, which are empirically linked to school readiness, retention, and learning quality. Comparative analysis shows that GMPFC outperforms traditional philanthropy and conventional aid by combining cultural legitimacy, institutional rigor, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its governance model ensures standardized monitoring, fiduciary oversight, and cross-sectoral integration, addressing longstanding limitations of fragmented philanthropic delivery. Despite its effectiveness, the study highlights a lack of longitudinal learning outcome data, limiting precise quantification of educational impact beyond enabling conditions. Nonetheless, GMPFC exemplifies a hybrid development-finance model, demonstrating how Islamic philanthropic values can be operationalized to generate sustainable, measurable contributions to child education and human capital formation. These findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and faith-based organizations aiming to scale philanthropic resources for education in vulnerable contexts.

This study aims to analyze human resource management (HRM) based on Islamic boarding school values ​​in strengthening educator professionalism and sustaining academic performance at MA Al-Amiriyyah Blokagung. The study focuses on the process of internalizing Islamic boarding school values ​​in HRM policies and practices and their implications for educator professionalism and the sustainability of the institution's academic quality. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with madrasah leaders and educators, observations of institutional practices, and documentation studies of policies and human resource development programs. Data analysis was conducted thematically through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that Islamic boarding school values ​​such as sincerity, service, discipline, exemplary behavior, and moral responsibility have been internalized normatively and practically in HRM policies, particularly in aspects of human resource planning, recruitment, coaching, and evaluation of educator performance. These values ​​shape educator professionalism that is not only based on pedagogical competence, but also an ethos of devotion and moral integrity. The human resource development and coaching system contributes to maintaining work motivation and consistent academic performance among educators. However, the internalization of Islamic boarding school values ​​still tends to be cultural and person-centered, and has not been fully institutionalized in written policies, standard procedures, and long-term strategic planning. Therefore, its sustainability remains dependent on leadership figures. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening the institutionalization of Islamic boarding school value-based human resource management (HRM) through formal policies, a sustainable human resource development system, and systematic managerial governance to ensure the sustainable maintenance of educator professionalism and the institution's academic performance.

The economic valuation of natural resources (NR) is an important instrument in supporting evidence-based decision-making, particularly in sustainable environmental management. Cost–Benefit Analysis (CBA) serves as a primary approach to assess the economic feasibility of programs or policies by integrating all benefits and costs, including non-market values. This article presents a systematic literature review of studies employing CBA for NR valuation during the period 2010–2024, based on searches in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar, using stringent selection criteria. The review findings indicate that CBA has been widely applied in forest management, biodiversity conservation, land rehabilitation, water and air pollution control, and ecotourism development, providing a quantitative depiction of economic feasibility through indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit–Cost Ratio (BCR), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Key challenges were identified in non-market valuation, long-term uncertainty, data limitations, and sensitivity to discount rate assumptions. These findings underscore the importance of integrating environmental valuation methods, conducting comprehensive sensitivity analyses, and adopting multidisciplinary approaches to strengthen the application of CBA in sustainable NR management, while also offering strategic recommendations and directions for future research for policymakers and environmental economics scholars.
