The ability to read the Qur’an is a fundamental competence that must be possessed by every Muslim student. However, in educational practice at schools, various problems are still found, particularly the low level of Qur’an reading ability among some students, accompanied by learning boredom. One of the contributing factors to this condition is the use of a single, monotonous, and less varied teaching method. This article aims to examine the problems related to students’ ability to read the Qur’an and the learning boredom that arises due to the implementation of a single method in instruction, as well as to offer practical solutions that can be implemented by educators. The writing method of this article uses a literature review approach and reflection on teaching practice. The results of the study show that a single teaching method tends to reduce students’ learning motivation, hinder active engagement, and slow down the improvement of Qur’an reading skills. Therefore, it is necessary to implement more varied, interactive, and contextual teaching methods, such as game-based learning, group work, and the use of innovative instructional media. Thus, it is expected that students’ ability to read the Qur’an can improve and learning boredom can be effectively minimized.

The moral crisis continues to be a concern for Indonesian society today. Therefore, reading literacy in elementary schools is an appropriate strategy that is not only oriented towards the ability to understand texts but also plays an important role in the formation of students' morals and character. The selection of literacy reading materials needs to be adjusted to the stage of moral development of students so that the values contained in the reading can be understood and internalized optimally. This article aims to examine the criteria for literacy reading materials based on the moral development of elementary school students based on Banten Province folklore. The method used is a literature study by analyzing the theory of children's moral development, criteria for selecting literacy reading materials, and moral values contained in Banten folklore. The results of the study indicate that Banten Province folklore has great potential as literacy reading materials that are appropriate to the moral development of  elementary school students because they contain values of honesty, responsibility, hard work, courage, leadership, empathy, social concern, and religiosity. Thus, Banten folklore is relevant to be used as literacy reading materials that support character learning in elementary schools.

Patient-Centered Care (PCC) is a healthcare approach that places the patient at the center of every interaction and clinical decision-making. However, a preliminary study at Tarumajaya Hospital showed that 58% of healthcare workers had not yet optimally implemented the PCC approach. This study aimed to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and social support on the implementation of Patient-Centered Care, with safety culture as a mediating variable, at Tarumajaya Hospital. The research method used was quantitative analytic with a cross-sectional design. The study sample used a saturated sampling technique of 132 healthcare workers, consisting of doctors, nurses, and medical support staff. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that self-efficacy and social support had a positive and significant effect on safety culture and PCC implementation. Safety culture also had a positive and significant effect on PCC implementation. Furthermore, safety culture was shown to mediate the influence of self-efficacy and social support on PCC implementation. The coefficient of determination value indicates that the model has strong ability to explain variations in PCC.

The research findings confirm that job satisfaction has a significant influence on employee performance, which in turn impacts customer satisfaction and business sustainability. Therefore, management needs to maintain and improve factors supporting job satisfaction to maintain service quality and business competitiveness.

This community service program aims to strengthen legal awareness among Kodingareng fishers through community-based legal education tailored to their social characteristics and work structures. The program was implemented through initial mapping, participant segmentation based on local fishing typologies—papekang, papattek, and pagae—and dialogical legal education linked directly to everyday fishing practices. The educational content focused on clarifying categories of prohibited acts, legal consequences, and individual responsibility within both independent fishing and vessel-based collective work. The results indicate an improvement in participants’ ability to articulate legal boundaries, assess legal risks based on specific actions, and understand the relationship between legal compliance, resource sustainability, and household livelihood stability. Although economic pressure, long working hours, and patron–client relations remain significant constraints on rapid behavioral change, the enhancement of legal awareness represents a meaningful outcome within the framework of community service. The findings suggest that community-based legal education can function as an effective preventive strategy against fishing-related crimes and provide a foundation for sustained legal empowerment initiatives in small island communities.

The community service program conducted by students during the Field Work Practice (PKL) at TPQ Nurul Huda, Riam Mengelai Village, is implemented as a tangible contribution to student guidance, focusing on enhancing religious competence, discipline, and worship skills. This program was motivated by the need to improve the quality of religious education systematically and according to the skill level of each student, making learning more effective and targeted. The objective of this service is to optimize student guidance by improving Quran reading skills, daily prayer memorization, moral development, and active participation in religious activities according to each class’s ability. The implementation method includes initial observation, planning a guidance program based on skill levels, direct teaching and learning, individual and group mentoring, and periodic evaluation. Students are divided into four classes according to their ability: Class 1 for students at IQRA’ levels 1 and 2, Class 2 for IQRA’ 3 and 4, Class 3 for IQRA’ 5 and 6, and Class 4 for students who can read the Quran fluently. Each class receives materials tailored to their level, ranging from introduction to Arabic letters, Quran reading, daily prayer memorization, to moral development and worship practices. This class-based guidance approach allows PKL students to provide focused attention, ensuring optimal learning outcomes. The results show significant improvements in students’ discipline, learning motivation, Quran reading skills, prayer memorization, and moral understanding. Class-based guidance according to skill levels provides each child with an appropriate learning experience, enabling maximal development. PKL students gain practical experience in early childhood religious education, lesson development, and classroom management. This program is expected to serve as a systematic, effective, and sustainable model for student guidance at TPQ Nurul Huda.

Furthermore, performance appraisal has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, whereas training does not have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Work ability is proven to have a significant effect on employee performance. The results of the indirect effect analysis show that work ability is not able to mediate the effect of performance appraisal on employee performance; however, it is able to mediate the effect of training on employee performance. Thus, work ability plays an important role in improving employee performance, particularly through the effective implementation of training.

This article explores inconsistencies in employee performance within small, project-oriented service sectors, where quality depends on daily tasks, punctuality, and adherence to procedures. Since skill development relies largely on informal workplace learning, differences in worker competencies often lead to rework, customer complaints, and safety issues. The study investigates how skills and competencies affect employee performance, illustrating how individual abilities translate into observable performance through the ability–motivation–opportunity (AMO) framework and experience-based learning. A qualitative case study at Rajasa Teknik included interviews and observations to examine project coordination, quality standards, and supervision practices. Results indicate that competencies and skills primarily influence ability, but sustained motivation- driven by realistic goals and fair feedback- along with ample opportunities such as smooth material flow, clear roles, and on-site decision support, enhance performance. The findings underline the importance of a cohesive work system (task division, quality control, communication), a consistent safety culture (K3), and straightforward, repetitive HR practices that facilitate tacit knowledge transfer into routines. Improvements suggested involve mapping core competencies, brief mentoring sessions, quality-focused standards, and evaluation systems to minimise service variation and promote sustainable performance in similar businesses. Overall, this research broadens the understanding of performance management in small enterprises and offers practical guidance for interventions.

Adolescence is often faced with various challenges from the community, school, and family environment. Adolescents from underprivileged families are often overshadowed by economic limitations that hinder access to quality education and skills development. One way to address this is by empowering adolescents through non-formal education by honing skills to improve their quality when entering the world of work. This study aims to determine the implementation of empowerment of underprivileged adolescents in increasing independence at the Information and Communication Technology Islamic Boarding School (PeTIK) in Depok using qualitative methods and data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data are presented in the form of descriptions and written reports, as well as drawing conclusions. The results show that PeTIK significantly helps underprivileged adolescents to gain education and real-world experience in the world of work. This empowerment is an effort made so that adolescents have the ability to develop their academic and non-academic potential. In addition, PeTIK has succeeded in increasing adolescent independence such as emotional independence, social independence, intellectual independence, and economic independence.

This study aims to examine the legal certainty of ownership of works produced by artificial intelligence (AI), specifically ChatGPT, from the perspective of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. The main focus of this research is to answer the question of whether works produced by AI can be copyrighted and to identify the legal challenges arising from the absence of explicit regulations in the Indonesian positive legal system. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach and analysis of primary and supplementary legal materials. The study's findings indicate that, to date, there are no national regulations explicitly governing copyright recognition for works produced autonomously by AI systems. Based on the provisions of Article 1 number 3 of Law Number 28 of 2014, works must arise from human intellectual ability, therefore, AI products do not qualify as works potentially entitled to copyright protection. Therefore, legal reformulation through regulatory updates is needed to provide legal certainty and address challenges in the digital era, as well as prevent potential disputes in the national creative industry.

Musical modality, professionalism, and work quality in everyday musical practice constitute the main analytical framework of this study. This research departs from the view that musical professions are often reduced to hobby-based activities, whereas in practice they involve work strategies, professional attitudes, and negotiation between artistic idealism and market demands. This study employs a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with two musicians in the city of Solo, Aditya Ong and Indra Permana, who represent different backgrounds, professional roles, and musical orientations. The findings indicate that modality comprising experience, musical skills, and professional networks forms the foundation of musicians’ professionalism. Professionalism is reflected not only in technical competence, but also in work ethics, responsibility, and the ability to position oneself within various musical work contexts. Work quality is not understood normatively as good or bad, but as the outcome of how musicians manage their modality and professionalism in specific working situations. This study concludes that musical practice in Solo is shaped through continuous negotiation between artistic orientation, market demands, and the pursuit of livelihood stability. Musical modality, professionalism, and work quality are interconnected in forming musicians’ strategies to sustain their musical practices amid the dynamics of the local music industry.

Pregnancy complications remain a major health problem contributing to high maternal morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia. Factors influencing the occurrence of pregnancy complications include the level of maternal knowledge and advanced maternal age. Advanced age increases the risk of pregnancy disorders due to decreased reproductive function, while low knowledge limits a mother’s ability to recognize danger signs and take appropriate preventive measures. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge level and advanced maternal age and the occurrence of pregnancy complications in the working area of Bonebobakal Public Health Center, Banggai Regency. This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 41 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge level and maternal age with the occurrence of pregnancy complications. Health education and regular pregnancy monitoring are necessary to reduce the risk of complications and improve maternal and fetal safety..

Personal hygiene is an essential factor in maintaining the health and quality of life of the elderly, as aging is often accompanied by a decline in physical strength, mobility, and cognitive function that can reduce the ability to maintain personal cleanliness independently. Limited understanding of the importance of personal hygiene may increase the risk of infections, skin disorders, and other health complications, making education and awareness crucial for promoting better hygiene behavior. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 204 elderly individuals residing at the Pucang Gading Elderly Social Service Home in Semarang and Wening Wardoyo Ungaran, with 135 respondents selected using a non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires measuring the level of understanding and personal hygiene practices and were analyzed using the Somers’d statistical test. The results showed that most respondents were female (60%) and aged between 70–79 years (48.9%). The level of understanding of personal hygiene among the elderly was predominantly in the moderate category (72.6%), and their personal hygiene practices were also mostly categorized as moderate (72.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.472, indicating a positive and significant relationship between the level of understanding and personal hygiene practices. These findings suggest that improving knowledge through continuous education and guidance from health workers is necessary to enhance awareness, independence, and hygiene behavior among the elderly.

This research explores the meaning of leadership in employee experiences at Ayam Uleg Cak Abit outlets in Malang City using a transcendental phenomenological approach. In the context of culinary organizations operating 24 hours without formal managerial structures, leadership is understood not merely as a structural position but as relational experiences shaping daily work life. This study involves six participants (two leaders and four employees) selected through purposive sampling, with data collected through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observations, and documentation. Data analysis follows Moustakas' (1994) four stages: epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of meanings and essences. Findings reveal that employees perceive meaningful leadership through leader's direct presence, involvement in operational work, emotional support during high-pressure situations, and creating work environments valuing each employee's contribution. Leadership essence emerges through authentic relationships, consistent exemplary behavior, and sincere care in daily interactions rather than formal authority or hierarchical position. This research contributes to leadership theory by providing phenomenological perspectives and offers practical implications for developing more humanistic leadership practices in informal organizations. The study concludes that meaningful leadership in culinary outlets is built through trust, open communication, and ability to build significant relationships with employees.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation on employee productivity at Kerupuk Uenak Bu Rina, a home-based industry in Boyolali. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and direct observation at the business location. The results indicate that work motivation derived from internal factors such as satisfaction with received wages and a familial work environment, as well as external factors in the form of appreciation from the owner, significantly influence employee morale and work output. Employee productivity levels are reflected in the consistency in meeting production targets for two types of crackers and the ability to adapt to demand fluctuations. These findings suggest that improving productivity in micro-enterprises like this one depends not only on technical operational aspects but is also greatly influenced by how work motivation is managed. This research provides practical contributions regarding the importance of paying attention to human resource aspects in managing operational risks and improving the performance of small-scale businesses.

In the rapidly evolving digital economy, the ability to anticipate transaction surges is a strategic asset for marketplace platforms to maintain operational efficiency. This research aims to build an accurate daily transaction volume forecasting system thru the implementation of an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) pipeline and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) predictive modeling. The dataset used is sourced from dataset_olshop.csv, which includes transaction history for the entire year of 2025. The ETL stage focused on data cleaning and handling missing values, while time series analysis began with the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) stationarity test, which yielded a significant p-value of 0.000006. The parameter model was optimized using the auto_arima algorithm, which determined the ARIMA(2,0,0) configuration as the best model. The evaluation results of the model show fairly stable performance with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) value of 2.002 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 1.704 on the test data. Research findings reveal a consistently higher purchasing pattern during the mid-month and end-of-month periods, with an average of 5.52 daily transactions, compared to the beginning of the month, which saw 5.48 transactions. The 30-day forecast results provide valuable insights for online store managers to proactively adjust inventory and logistics workforce allocation strategies. This research concludes that integrating data engineering techniques and statistical analysis can provide predictive solutions for the dynamics of the digital market.

The competitiveness of gig workers in the digital economy era raises issues such as competency gaps with market needs and instability in the quality of gig workers' work. This study explains the influence of training, work skills, and independent learning on the performance of gig workers who participate in training programs at the Central Java Province Cooperative and SME Training Center. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of each variable partially and simultaneously. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to the entire population or using a saturated sample of 50 gig workers participating in training at BALATKOP UKM. The data was obtained using a Likert scale questionnaire instrument compiled based on the operational definitions of the variables and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis to test the influence of training (X2), work skills (X2), and independence (X3) on performance (Y). The results of the study show that training, job skills, and independent learning each have a positive and significant effect on gig worker performance, and simultaneously, these three variables have a 66.5% effect on performance. This synthesis of findings confirms that gig worker performance is not only determined by the quality of training programs and technical skill mastery, but also by the ability to manage the learning process independently. Therefore, the conclusion is that the development of training programs at BALATKOP UKM needs to be designed in an integrated manner to simultaneously strengthen training, work skills, and independent learning as a strategy for improving the sustainable performance of gig workers.

At the age range of 11–12 years, children enter the final phase of primary school which is marked by rapid development in various aspects, including cognitive, psychomotor, social, and moral, all of which are interrelated in the educational process. The development of elementary school-age children is the main foundation for the formation of personality, intelligence, and social-moral skills in the future. This study aims to analyze and describe the developmental analysis of aspects (cognitive, psychomotor, social, and moral) in children aged 11–12 years. This study uses a qualitative and descriptive approach, where data is collected through observation, interviews and documentation to understand behavior in depth. The results of the case study on the subject of Syifa Khairunnisa show that the development of these four aspects is well internalized in daily life. Syifa's cognitive development can be seen from her ability to understand material through repetition, awareness to adjust the way of learning when difficult, and the ability to explain lessons to friends in simple language. Psychomotor development is seen in good coordination of movements (e.g. in sports), fine motor skills, and self-control. In the aspect of Social Development, Syifa shows the ability to interact positively, work together, and choose peaceful ways to resolve differences of opinion. Lastly, Syifa's moral development is reflected in the attitude of caring, honesty, responsibility, obedience to school regulations, and the practice of religious values. Overall, this case study confirms that the development of children at the end of primary school is a holistic process that requires integrated support from the school environment and family.
