This study aims to examine business models in the gypsum sector by utilizing the Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework. The gypsum business is one of the fields that is growing rapidly in line with the increasing need for residential construction, building renovation, and aesthetic and functional interior design. However, to be able to survive and compete in an increasingly competitive market, gypsum business actors are required to have a business model that is structured, adaptive, and value-oriented for customers. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type of research. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and direct observation of Nury Gipsum's business located in Klaten Regency. The results show that all nine elements in the Business Model Canvas, namely key partners, key activities, key resources, value offerings, customer relationships, distribution channels, customer segments, cost structure, and revenue streams, have been optimally implemented. Thus, the Business Model Canvas has proven to be effective in providing a comprehensive overview of business operations and can be a strategic basis for decision-making and gypsum business development in the future.

Customer satisfaction has become a major focus in the development of modern services as the role of the service sector in the regional economy increases, including in the city of Balikpapan. However, the literature discussing customer satisfaction models shows conceptual and methodological fragmentation, requiring a systematic synthesis to identify theoretical patterns and current research developments. This study aims to map customer satisfaction models in the service industry through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach using the PRISMA guidelines. A total of 20 articles selected from the last five years were analyzed to identify dominant constructs, methodological approaches, and relevant research trends. The review results show that customer satisfaction models have evolved from traditional service quality-based approaches to models that integrate customer experience, perceived value, trust, and digital dimensions such as personalization and AI-based services. The findings also emphasize the importance of local context, especially in the service sector in Balikpapan, where cultural factors, customer behavior, and the dynamics of city growth influence the structure of satisfaction models. Overall, this study provides a synthesis framework that can be used as a theoretical and practical foundation for designing service quality improvement strategies and developing a further research agenda in the service sector.

The homicide arising from the victim’s refusal to terminate her pregnancy presents a crucial issue regarding how the element of intent is constructed within Indonesian criminal law. This study originates from the need to examine the extent to which the offender’s motive triggered by anger after the victim declined his request for an abortion may influence the classification of dolus in the act of killing. The objective of this research is to describe the characteristics of intent in the perpetrator’s actions, determine whether the incident meets the criteria of dolus directus, dolus indirectus, or dolus eventualis, and assess the role of motive in shaping criminal liability. The method employed is normative legal research using a case approach and a statute approach, supported by the analysis of comparable court decisions and criminal law doctrines concerning the element of intent. The research findings indicate that the perpetrator’s deliberate assault on the victim after she rejected the request to terminate the pregnancy can be categorized as dolus directus, as he both realized and desired the lethal outcome of his conduct as an expression of anger. The motive related to the refusal of pregnancy responsibility does not negate intent; rather, it merely serves as a trigger for the criminal act. Thus, the element of intent in this case can be firmly constructed through an assessment of the perpetrator’s will, awareness, and conduct, thereby ensuring the accurate application of homicide provisions and providing legal certainty regarding the limits of criminal liability in pregnancy-related conflicts.

The revitalization of the Rukun Masyarakat (Parukmas) Market through innovative Instagrammable photo spots is a strategic effort to develop the potential for creative tourism in Yosodadi Village, Metro Timur District. The market, which previously served only as a center of local economic activity, is being revitalized into a public space-based tourist destination that is aesthetic, educational, and attractive.

This research aims to design and implement Instagrammable photo spots that can enhance the appeal of Parukmas Market and evaluate their impact on increasing visitor numbers and empowering the surrounding community economically. The research method used is participatory, involving the community, vendors, and local stakeholders in the planning, design, and construction of the facility. Evaluation is conducted through direct observation of market activities and visitor satisfaction surveys to assess responses and perceived benefits. The expected outcome of this activity is the creation of a creative space that can enhance social interaction, strengthen local identity, attract tourists, and open new business opportunities for the community, thereby strengthening the local economy and increasing vendor income.

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting real wages of construction workers across provinces in Indonesia from 2010 to 2023 using panel data analysis. The independent variables include Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Open Unemployment Rate (TPT), and Performance Pay (Balas Jasa). A panel dataset of 476 observations from 34 provinces over 14 years was analyzed using three model approaches: Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM). The best model was determined through Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test, which confirmed that the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is the most appropriate for analyzing this research data. FEM estimation results show that simultneously, all independent variables (UMP, CPI, TPT, and Performance Pay) have a significant effect on real wages with an F-statistic value of 436,465.9 (p-value = 0.0000 < 0.05), indicating that the model as a whole is highly valid and capable of explaining the variation in real wages collectively. However, partial tests reveal that only the Real Wage variable has a positive and statistically significant effect on Performance Pay (coefficient = 106.3320; t-statistic = 1276.083; p-value = 0.0000), while UMP (p-value = 0.1472), CPI (p-value = 0.6460), and TPT (p-value = 0.6934) show no significant effects at the 5% significance level. The research model demonstrates very high predictive ability with an R-squared value of 0.999735 (99.97%), indicating that the variables studied can explain nearly all variation in real wages of construction workers at the provincial level. This research provides policy implications that improving real wages in the construction sector requires an integrated approach that focuses not only on minimum wage setting but also on regional inflation control, human capital quality improvement, and creating conducive labor market conditions through unemployment reduction

This study explores how Generation Z constructs work values and meaning in modern organizations shaped by digitalization and social transformation. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach under a social constructivist paradigm, the research investigates the lived experiences of young professionals in the digital, creative, and startup sectors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participant observation and analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Moustakas, 1994). Findings show that Generation Z defines work through three interrelated dimensions: (1) intrinsic motivation grounded in personal purpose and self-expression, (2) redefined productivity emphasizing creativity and emotional balance rather than quantitative output, and (3) job satisfaction derived from inclusive culture and adaptive leadership. These results support Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) and Social Constructionism (Berger & Luckmann, 1966), showing that work meaning is socially constructed rather than objectively given. Overall, the study concludes that for Generation Z, work represents not merely economic activity but a medium for identity, contribution, and personal growth, urging organizations to embrace meaning-centered and value-driven leadership to enhance engagement and fulfillment.

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 research examines the implementation of the Deep Learning approach in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMAN 61 Jakarta and its contribution to the development of students' critical thinking skills. This study was conducted due to the need for a learning model that encourages students to understand religious concepts through active, reflective, and meaningful learning experiences. The purpose of this research is to describe the implementation of Deep Learning in PAI learning and its influence on the development of students' critical thinking skills. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive research design, using interviews, classroom observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that the Deep Learning approach supports students in participating more actively in discussions, analyzing religious issues related to real-life situations, and constructing arguments based on their own understanding. Students also demonstrate improvement in evaluating information, considering diverse perspectives, and providing more reflective responses to classroom problems. The study further identifies several challenges, including limited digital facilities, varying levels of student participation, and teachers’ readiness in managing diverse learning strategies and media. These findings suggest that Deep Learning has strong potential to enhance students’ critical thinking skills when applied systematically and designed to foster active participation and meaningful exploration during the learning process.

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.

This study examines how integrating local ecological wisdom and eco-literacy education fosters environmental awareness, behavioral transformation, and health outcomes among Indonesian primary school students. The research responds to the ecological paradox of rapid technological growth amid worsening environmental degradation, where youth eco-literacy remains below 45%, indicating a gap between environmental knowledge and sustainable action. The study aims to develop a culturally responsive model of sustainability education that connects environmental ethics, cultural identity, and public health. Using a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted at SD Islam Kreatif Mutiara Anak Sholeh, Sidoarjo, East Java, from July to August 2025, involving 60 students and six teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. Four major themes emerged: (1) cultural narratives as catalysts for environmental awareness, (2) eco-literacy as experiential and behavioral transformation, (3) collaborative learning as collective environmental agency, and (4) eco-health as psychosocial and physical well-being. Findings show that integrating Majapahit-era ecological values and local storytelling into eco-brick and composting projects enhanced students’ responsibility, cooperation, and emotional balance. The study synthesizes Eco-pedagogy, Constructivism, and Eco-health frameworks into a Culturally Responsive Eco-Health Pedagogy, demonstrating that sustainability learning rooted in culture and participation promotes both environmental and health outcomes. This model contributes to the global Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) 2030 agenda by linking culture, ecology, and well-being in primary education.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Innovative Work Behaviour, Upskilling, and Work Ethic on the Health Workers Performance with Intention to Stay as an intervening variable at RSUD Sumberrejo. The background of this research stems from challenges in improving service quality, high workload, and the need to strengthen competency and retention among health workers. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires, with data analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS version 4.0. The population consists of 216 employees, and the sampling technique used is non-probability sampling, resulting in 140 respondents. The findings reveal that Innovative Work Behaviour, Work Ethic, and Intention to Stay have a significant positive effect on the performance of health workers. In addition, Innovative Work Behaviour and Work Ethic significantly influence Intention to Stay. However, Upskilling shows a positive but non-significant effect on both Intention to Stay and Performance, indicating that skill enhancement requires managerial support and motivation to contribute effectively to employee performance. Intention to Stay serves as a mediating variable in several relationships among the constructs. Strengthening innovative behaviour, work ethic, and competency development, accompanied by appropriate retention strategies, is essential for improving the performance of health workers in regional hospitals. Future studies are recommended to develop the research model by incorporating additional variables that may have stronger effects on Intention to Stay and Performance.

The development of digital technology has brought about significant changes in the way society constructs identity and interprets culture. This study aims to examine how cultural literacy and social media use influence each other in the process of cultural transformation in Indonesia. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through a review of various relevant literature sources. The results indicate that the flood of unfiltered digital information often leads to misunderstandings, shifts in cultural values, and the weakening of local identity. On the other hand, social media continues to provide significant opportunities to preserve traditions and promote local culture through various forms of digital content. This study also found that digital literacy including the ability to think critically, understand visual context, and assess the credibility of information is key to society's wise use of social media. The younger generation plays a crucial role in this process as they are the largest users of social media and the primary producers of cultural content. The synergy between cultural literacy, digital literacy, and responsible use of social media plays a role in guiding the nation's cultural transformation in a more positive direction.

The implementation of the eighth-grade Christian Religious Education teaching module on the topic "Love as the Foundation of a Believer's Life" was carried out as an effort to provide an active, reflective, and contextual learning process in accordance with the principles of the Independent Curriculum. Learning is designed through an interactive approach with discussion activities, analysis of biblical texts, case studies, problem-solving, and personal reflection that provide opportunities for students to construct understanding independently. Through these activities, students are guided to understand the concept of agape love as sincere love, giving without expecting anything in return, and is manifested in concrete actions towards others. The implementation results show that this teaching module is able to improve students' conceptual understanding of the meaning of love from a biblical perspective and its relevance in modern life. Students appear to be increasingly confident in expressing opinions, are able to work together in groups, and are actively involved in learning activities. In addition, the emergence of attitudes of empathy, tolerance, and habits of helping each other are indicators that the value of love is not only understood cognitively, but also internalized in behavior. This teaching module also contributes to improving students' critical thinking skills and spirituality through reflection activities that invite them to evaluate acts of love in daily life at school, family, and society.

Recommender systems play a critical role in shaping user decisions across digital platforms; however, the increasing complexity of recommendation algorithms has raised serious concerns regarding transparency, trust, and accountability. This study focuses on enhancing the transparency of recommender systems by integrating Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques within a MovieLens-based recommendation framework. The primary problem addressed is the opacity of conventional recommendation models, which limits user understanding of why certain items are recommended and may reduce trust, perceived fairness, and system acceptance. Accordingly, the main objective of this research is to design and evaluate a hybrid explainable recommender system that balances predictive accuracy with human-understandable explanations. The proposed approach combines Matrix Factorization, feature-importance-aware neural networks, and knowledge graph embeddings to construct a robust recommendation model. To enhance explainability, multiple XAI strategies are integrated, including model-agnostic methods (LIME, SHAP, and CLIME), argumentation-based explanations, and context-aware personalized explanations. A comprehensive evaluation framework is employed, incorporating algorithmic metrics (accuracy, fidelity, robustness, counterfactual consistency, and fairness) alongside human-centered evaluations measuring trust, transparency, cognitive load, and perceived usefulness. Experimental results demonstrate that the knowledge graph–enhanced hybrid model achieves superior recommendation accuracy compared to baseline approaches. Moreover, context-aware explanations consistently outperform other methods in terms of fidelity, robustness, and user-perceived transparency, while argumentation-based explanations are found to be the most persuasive. CLIME offers a strong balance between technical stability and interpretability. The findings indicate that no single explainability technique is universally optimal; instead, hybrid and adaptive explanation strategies are most effective. In conclusion, this study confirms that human-centered, context-adaptive XAI significantly improves transparency and user trust in recommender systems, highlighting explainability as a fundamental component rather than an optional enhancement.

This study critically reassesses Islamic economic law in response to the accelerating digital transformation reshaping global financial ecosystems. Drawing on classical jurisprudential sources, international Sharia standards, and contemporary literature on Islamic fintech, the research employs a qualitative library-based methodology to evaluate how digital innovations—particularly AI, blockchain, digital assets, and Islamic fintech platforms—challenge existing regulatory structures across Muslim jurisdictions. The findings reveal substantial fragmentation in Sharia governance, inconsistencies in regulatory interpretation, and limited technical capacity, which collectively hinder the development of a cohesive global framework. The study argues that the integration of Maqasid al-Shariah offers a robust ethical and legal foundation for constructing a global Sharia-compliant regulatory architecture capable of addressing cybersecurity risks, algorithmic bias, consumer protection gaps, cross-border inconsistencies, and the complexities of emerging technologies. The analysis highlights the need for harmonized standards, AI ethics protocols, enhanced RegTech adoption, and dynamic regulatory sandboxes to balance innovation with Sharia compliance. Ultimately, the research proposes a forward-looking model that embeds Islamic ethical principles within contemporary digital governance, ensuring that Islamic finance remains resilient, transparent, and socially responsible in the digital age.

This study critically reassesses Islamic economic law within the rapidly expanding digital economy, emphasizing the necessity of a globally coherent Sharia-compliant regulatory architecture. Using a qualitative library research method, the paper draws from classical jurisprudence, contemporary fintech literature, and international Sharia standards to examine the tensions emerging from technological innovations such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital assets, and Islamic fintech platforms. Findings reveal significant regulatory fragmentation across Muslim jurisdictions, inconsistencies in Sharia interpretation, and gaps in digital literacy, which collectively hinder harmonized governance. Moreover, emerging digital financial instruments raise pressing ethical concerns related to transparency, algorithmic bias, cybersecurity, and compliance with prohibitions against riba, gharar, and maysir. The study argues that Maqasid al-Shariah—particularly the principles of ḥifẓ al-māl, maslahah, and harm prevention—provides a holistic framework for balancing innovation with ethical integrity. It also identifies the urgent need for cross-border regulatory harmonization, AI ethics protocols, enhanced Sharia governance structures, and tailored regulatory sandboxes for Islamic fintech. Ultimately, the research offers a conceptual foundation for constructing a future-ready, inclusive, and ethically resilient global Islamic digital finance system.

Social conflict within labor collectives represents a recurrent phenomenon shaped by contradictions in interests, goals, and authority relations. Drawing on classical and contemporary sociological perspectives, this study examines how conflicts emerge, evolve, and can be effectively resolved in modern enterprises. This research employs a qualitative, literature-based approach through comprehensive analysis of theoretical writings by Parsons, Coser, Dahrendorf, Simmel, and Boulding, complemented by documented organizational studies such as the Hawthorne experiments. The method emphasizes conceptual interpretation, comparative theoretical analysis, and synthesis of conflict dynamics. Findings show that conflicts originate from both structural and psychological factors, including material dissatisfaction, violations of labor norms, personality differences, and unequal authority relations. Interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup conflicts follow identifiable stages—from latent tensions to escalation and resolution. Trade unions play a critical role in mediating disputes and promoting social partnership. Theoretical convergence indicates that conflict is multifactorial and inherent within organizational systems. When constructively managed, conflict can enhance group cohesion, clarify values, and contribute to organizational development. This highlights the necessity of socio-psychological awareness in modern management.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally transformed civil legal interactions, making electronic documents such as instant messages, online transactions, and digital contracts primary forms of evidence in many civil disputes. However, their admissibility in judicial proceedings remains fraught with challenges concerning formal and material validity. This study aims to identify juridical and technical obstacles in digital evidence and to formulate an ideal model for civil procedural law that ensures reliable electronic proof. A normative-juridical approach with qualitative analysis was employed, combining doctrinal research through legislative review, jurisprudence, and scholarly literature with case studies of court decisions involving electronic evidence, particularly in divorce disputes. The findings reveal that inconsistent judicial treatment stems from the absence of specific procedural rules in Indonesia’s civil procedure framework still rooted in colonial-era HIR and RBg alongside limited digital infrastructure and low technological literacy among judicial actors. In response, the study proposes an integrated legal construction model featuring explicit provisions in the upcoming Civil Procedure Code, adoption of the functional equivalence principle, institutionalization of digital forensic experts in litigation, and procedural safeguards for vulnerable parties. The research concludes that only through holistic reform of the evidentiary paradigm can Indonesia’s civil justice system guarantee fairness, legal certainty, and relevance in the digital era.

The agrarian conflict in the Kendeng Mountains, Central Java, arose due to the construction of a cement factory by PT Semen Indonesia, which was supported by the state through the issuance of environmental permits, even though several permits had been revoked by court decisions. The local community rejected the project because it threatened their water sources, environment, and livelihoods. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the state, corporations, and civil society in the agrarian conflict in Kendeng, as well as the role of civil society movements in responding to this conflict. The research uses qualitative methods with a literature study of journals and related news reports. Using Karl Marx's theory of conflict and Charles Tilly's theory of social movements, the study finds that the state tends to side with corporate interests, while civil society continues to build resistance through collective action, legal advocacy, public campaigns, and ecofeminist movements. The Kendeng conflict reflects the imbalance of power relations and the weakness of substantive democracy in natural resource management. The need for increased transparency in licensing, community participation, and ecological protection are the main solutions.

The revision of the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Law fundamentally changes the concept of SOE losses by emphasizing that losses incurred in SOE operations constitute corporate losses, not state financial losses. This change has a direct impact on the construction of directors' accountability, which has often been associated with corruption when companies experience losses. This study aims to analyze the provisions of SOE directors' responsibilities based on Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles within the new regulatory framework, as well as to examine the application of sanctions against directors who violate these principles and cause corporate losses. The study uses normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches. The analysis was conducted by examining the provisions of the Limited Liability Company Law, the revised SOE Law, related implementing regulations, and several important decisions, such as those concerning Jiwasraya, Asabri, Garuda Indonesia, and Pertamina-TPPI. The results show that the principles of GCG, fiduciary duty, and the Business Judgment Rule are the primary instruments in assessing directors' actions. Civil and administrative sanctions are the first line of defense for assessing directors' accountability, while criminal sanctions can only be imposed if there is an element of abuse of authority, conflict of interest, or other fraudulent acts. This research emphasizes the need for a clear distinction between business risks and unlawful acts to prevent directors from being criminalized for business decisions made in good faith and in accordance with good corporate governance principles. These findings are expected to serve as a reference in formulating state-owned enterprise policies and promoting more proportionate law enforcement against directors.
