Social loans are an important tool for developing local economies, especially in remote areas such as rural areas. The Indonesian Village City Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) is one of the business entities that provides loan capital to its members. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanism of social loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City and to determine the perspective of Islamic Economic Law on loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City. This research method uses a descriptive research type with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews with the Management and members of the Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian City Village. The results of the study show that first, the loan application procedure involves several steps such as becoming a member, filling out forms, completing documents and the approval stage. The maximum loan provision is 80% of the savings balance with a loan tenor of 12 months and 18 months. The payment system is made in installments through salary deductions and is subject to a 5% interest. For borrowing members who are late, there are no sanctions or fines but there is a time dispensation. Second, the loan application and management mechanism at the Multipurpose Cooperative has met sharia principles through transparent and structured governance, such as deductions from salary installments and a guarantee policy provided in the form of the amount of member savings balances. However, social loans at the Multipurpose Cooperative contain an element of benefit (profit) of 5%, which according to some scholars can be classified as usury because of the addition of value to the principal loan, even though the benefit is returned to members through the Business Result Remainder (SHU).

As the business and technological environment evolves, modern accounting is no longer limited to recording historical transactions, but has developed into a strategic information system that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and the use of technology and integrated reporting to create long-term value. From a theoretical perspective, the development of accounting is closely related to agency theory, which explains the relationship between principals and agents. Unlike agency theory, stewardship theory assumes that management is motivated by the interests of the organization and principals rather than the personal goals of managers. The conceptual differences between agency theory and stewardship theory also influence modern accounting practices. This study was conducted to analyze the conceptual differences between agency theory and stewardship theory, the factors that distinguish the two theories, and the relevance of both theories in accounting practice. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach or comparative literature study. Empirical research results show that both theories have their own relevance according to the context of the company, so neither is completely superior. Agency theory and stewardship theory also offer different but complementary perspectives in explaining the relationship between owners and managers in modern accounting practices.

From a practical perspective, the study highlights the importance of greater community participation, stronger policy commitment from the government, and increased green innovation by corporate entities. Theoretically, the results support existing economic and sustainability theories that emphasize the role of green economy strategies in fostering resilient, inclusive, and equitable economic growth. Overall, this study reinforces the relevance of green economy initiatives as a viable pathway toward sustainable national development.

Ontology is the philosophical foundation that determines the way reality is understood in the development of science. Differences in ontological assumptions will have implications for the way science is constructed, developed, and interpreted. This article aims to philosophically analyze the ontology of science in Western and Islamic perspectives by highlighting its fundamental similarities and differences. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with descriptive-analytical and comparative methods. The results show that the ontology of Western science tends to emphasize empirical and rational reality as the main object of science, while the ontology of Islamic science is based on the principle of monotheism which looks at reality holistically, including physical and metaphysical dimensions. Although paradigmatically different, the two perspectives have a common point in the recognition of the order of nature and the role of reason in understanding reality. This article affirms the importance of ontological dialogue between the West and Islam in formulating a scientific paradigm that is not only technically advanced, but also philosophically and ethically meaningful.

The discourse on the attributes of God has developed to include the issue of His physical attributes, as described in the texts, which state that God has hands, a face, a chair, a throne, and so on. This article employs a literature study as its method. Literature data are secondary sources, meaning the researcher obtains material indirectly and not from original, first-hand sources. Such sources may contain the biases or perspectives of their authors, and the researcher does not always have full control over how the data were collected or organized according to their original purpose. The results of this study indicate that the existence of God’s attributes is clearly explained by Abduh: the attributes that must be believed by the faithful are derived from the guidance of reason and the information provided by Islamic law. Regarding the classification of God’s attributes, there are 20 attributes that are obligatory for God, 20 that are impossible for God, and attributes that are jaiz (possible) for God. Summarizing the attributes of God mentioned in Surah Al-Qashash verses 68–70: God is the Creator, God is free to choose, God is Most Holy, God is All-Knowing, God is One, God is worthy of praise, God is Most Wise, and to God all things will return. One of the characteristics of a believer is to affirm and have certainty in the existence of God while distancing themselves from ideologies that negate or oppose God.

This study examines the impact of Market Value Added (MVA), Economic Value Added (EVA), and Financial Value Added (FVA) on stock returns in energy-sector mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2018–2023. A quantitative approach with multiple linear regression was applied to 23 purposively selected firms based on data availability. Secondary data were obtained from annual reports and stock prices published on the IDX website. The findings show that EVA has a significant effect on stock returns (p = 0.048 < 0.05), while MVA (0.075) and FVA (0.080) are not significant individually. However, the three variables collectively influence stock returns (p = 0.031 < 0.05). The adjusted R² of 0.396 indicates that 39.6% of return variability is explained by the model, with the rest influenced by other factors. Overall, EVA emerges as the key indicator for investors in evaluating return potential, while market-based measures such as MVA are less decisive, and historical value indicators (FVA) are less statistically relevant as predictors of stock returns. From a managerial perspective, firms are encouraged to focus on capital efficiency and sustainable economic value creation to enhance their investment appeal.

This work offers valuable insights into the ongoing integration of AI in the banking sector and its potential to shape future financial services, emphasizing its relevance to both global and regional markets.

The enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP Nasional 2023) has brought significant changes to the national penal system, particularly in the regulation of sanctions imposed on children who commit criminal offenses. Children as offenders constitute a special legal subject who require a sentencing approach oriented toward protection, guidance, and rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the regulation and concept of sentencing for children under the perspective of the KUHP Nasional 2023 and to assess its conformity with the principles of child protection and the objectives of the juvenile justice system in Indonesia. This research employs a juridical descriptive method using statutory and conceptual approaches through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings indicate that the KUHP Nasional 2023 normatively accommodates a more humane sentencing approach by emphasizing the objectives of punishment and providing non-custodial sanctions and rehabilitative measures. However, these provisions remain general and have not been explicitly integrated with restorative justice principles as stipulated in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Act. Therefore, regulatory harmonization and consistent implementation are necessary to ensure that sentencing for children truly reflects the best interests of the child and the rehabilitative goals of the juvenile justice system.

This study examines the factors that cause fraud in financial reporting. The study analyzed 195 data points from 39 financial institutions listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019 to 2023 using a purposive sampling technique. The research applied multiple linear regression analysis to analyze the impact of governance independence and performance variables on the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting. The independent variables include financial targets assessed by profitability (return on assets [ROA]), financial stability measured by changes in assets, external pressure measured by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER), and the proportion of independent commissioners as a measure of good corporate governance. The study proves that financial targets affect fraudulent financial reporting, while financial stability, external pressure, and independent commissioners do not influence fraudulent financial reporting. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for regulators, investors, and management to enhance oversight and reduce the risk of fraud in the banking sector.

This study explores how nascent entrepreneurs in Indonesia can improve their business innovation performance by utilizing volunteerism and digital competencies, particularly in the context of financial and technological limitations. These challenges significantly hinder their capacity for effective innovation, especially in resource-limited settings where access to tools and expertise is often scarce. A quantitative approach was employed, using data from 156 nascent entrepreneurs, which was analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that the voluntary exchange of ideas and competences, framed through the Service-Dominant Logic (S-DL) perspective, plays a critical role in overcoming resource constraints and enhancing innovation outcomes. By facilitating collaboration and knowledge-sharing via volunteerism, nascent entrepreneurs can strengthen their digital and managerial capabilities, which are essential for driving innovation. The study highlights the importance of creating ecosystems that support stakeholder-driven volunteer initiatives, which help develop strategic digital competencies among emerging entrepreneurs, thereby fostering greater innovation capacity and ensuring long-term business sustainability.

Islamic entrepreneurship education integrates ethical, moral, and spiritual values with practical business practices. This study examines the perspective of the Prophet Muhammad’s hadith on entrepreneurship, emphasizing principles such as honesty, independence, creativity, risk-taking, and social responsibility. Using a qualitative approach, primary hadith sources and scholarly interpretations are analyzed to identify both values and practical implementations of entrepreneurship education in Islam. Findings reveal that the Prophet emphasized self-reliance, productive work, and ethical business conduct, providing practical guidance such as utilizing available resources, step-by-step mentoring, and progressive skill development. Additionally, Islamic entrepreneurship education prioritizes character formation, integrity, and social contribution alongside economic gain. Practical examples from hadith illustrate methods for instilling entrepreneurial values, including prohibitions against unethical transactions, encouragement to work with one’s own hands, and support for independent income generation. The study shows that integrating moral guidance from hadith with business training produces competent, responsible, and ethically grounded entrepreneurs. This framework offers a comprehensive model for modern entrepreneurship education, balancing profitability, ethical conduct, and societal welfare. The research contributes to understanding how Islamic values can form the foundation of sustainable and morally conscious business practices, providing educators and practitioners with actionable insights for cultivating entrepreneurship aligned with Islamic teachings.

This qualitative study, using a phenomenological approach, aims to uncover, study, and deeply understand students' perspectives regarding the curriculum transformation for 21st-century learning they experience in elementary schools. The phenomenological approach was used to explore students' direct experiences as the primary subjects in the learning process, thus gaining a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of curriculum change from their perspectives. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with upper-grade students in elementary schools in Jambi City. The results indicate that the curriculum transformation has a significant impact on students' learning styles, particularly through the implementation of project-based learning that integrates the use of digital technology. This learning model encourages students to be more active, creative, and collaborative in completing learning tasks. Furthermore, student-centered learning makes them the primary actors in the learning process, while teachers act as facilitators. This curriculum transformation also helps develop 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and digital literacy in elementary school students.

General education at Islamic Religious Higher Education Institutions (PTKI) plays an important role in developing students’ critical thinking skills so they can analyze religious and social issues reflectively and contextually. However, learning practices in PTKI are still dominated by teacher-centered approaches and low cognitive achievement, which limits the development of analytical, evaluative, and problem-solving abilities. Meanwhile, studies show that integrating digital media, particularly video, can improve conceptual understanding, motivation, and cognitive engagement, yet a digital video-based meaningful learning model specifically designed for the PTKI context remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to formulate a Digital Video-Based Meaningful Learning Model (MPBBVD) to enhance students’ critical thinking skills. This research employed a literature review method by analyzing books, scientific articles, research reports, and digital sources related to meaningful learning, constructivism, multimedia learning, digital video use, and critical thinking development. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively to identify the theoretical foundations, learning syntax, and design principles of the model. The findings indicate that MPBBVD integrates Ausubel’s Meaningful Learning theory, constructivist perspectives from Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner, Mayer’s Multimedia Learning theory, and the critical thinking framework of Facione and Ennis. The model uses digital video as the main learning medium and applies the ACTIVE stages (Attend, Connect, Think, Interpret, Verify, Evaluate) to promote contextual and interactive learning. Integrating pre-, during-, and post-video activities supports knowledge construction, reduces cognitive load, and increases student engagement, contributing theoretically and practically to improving critical thinking in PTKI in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era.

This study examines the bioethical and Sharia dilemmas arising from the production of slaughter-free meat through animal cell culture as a modern food innovation. Concerns regarding the halal status of the cell source, the use of culture media such as Foetal Bovine Serum, and ethical issues related to animal welfare necessitate an in-depth analysis of the halal status and moral implications of this technology. The research method employs a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach, reviewing journals, books, and contemporary fatwas related to cultured meat, bioethics, and Islamic law. The results indicate that the Sharia aspect heavily depends on the cell source, the medium used, and the culture process, while the bioethical perspective highlights animal welfare, scientific transparency, and the moral responsibility of researchers. Furthermore, the acceptance among Muslim communities is significantly influenced by trust in halal certification bodies and the availability of transparent information. This study affirms the need for biotechnology-based halal standardization and the development of fully halal media and supporting materials to ensure the widespread acceptance of cultured meat in the future.

The development of philosophy from the classical to the contemporary era shows fundamental changes in the way humans understand reality with the emergence of various schools of thought that address epistemological, ontological, and ethical issues in an increasingly complex social context. This study aims to examine the contributions of key concepts from rationalism, empiricism, idealism, materialism, positivism, pragmatism, phenomenology, existentialism, Marxism, Islamic existentialism, and neopositivism, as well as assess their relevance to modern dynamics such as identity crises, technological advances, and changes in socio-economic structures. Using a conceptual approach to literature review, various previous studies were analyzed to build an integrated understanding of the position of each school of thought in the development of science and social practice. The findings show that rationalism and empiricism continue to underpin scientific methods, idealism and materialism offer different perspectives on social construction, phenomenology and existentialism deepen the understanding of subjective experience, while Marxism and pragmatism provide an analytical framework for power relations and practical action. Neopositivism continues to influence quantitative methodology, while Islamic existentialism provides a contextual moral perspective. This study emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach because no single philosophical school of thought is capable of explaining reality in its entirety.
