Large cities in Indonesia are not exempt from severe traffic congestion problems. This occurs because people feel more comfortable and dependent on using private motorcycles and cars. Public transportation in Indonesia aims to help reduce congestion, decrease pollution, and save on expenses. This type of research uses the literature study method and employs a qualitative approach because the data generated are in the form of words or descriptions. In the data collection process, researchers combine information that aligns with the topic or issue being studied, which is obtained from research reports, books, and journals. According to the theory of Donald van Metter and Carl van Horn, with six variables consisting of policy size and objectives, resources, characteristics of implementing agents, disposition of implementers, organizational communication and activities, as well as economic, social, and political environment, it can be concluded that the existence of the Suroboyo Bus as one strategy to tackle congestion in Surabaya has not yet been effective. However, there has been an increase in the number of passengers each year. It is hoped that more people will use public transportation to solve congestion issues, and that the government will further innovate the Suroboyo Bus so that people will have more interest in using this public transportation.

The integration of Sharia principles with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks presents a unique opportunity to enhance ethical accountability and sustainability in Islamic financial institutions. This study employs an analytical-descriptive research design, utilizing secondary data from annual sustainability reports, Sharia compliance documentation, and regulatory publications, to examine the adoption of ESG principles in the Islamic finance sector. Findings indicate that Islamic banks have achieved high levels of governance (90%) and social (85%) implementation, while environmental initiatives lag (62%), reflecting the need for stronger alignment with the khalifah fil ardh (stewardship of the earth) principle. The research also demonstrates a positive correlation between ESG implementation and investor confidence, with institutions exceeding 80% ESG adoption achieving an Investor Confidence Index of 92 points compared to 65 points among lower-performing banks. Despite conceptual synergy between ESG and Sharia principles centered on justice (adl), social welfare (maslahah), and environmental stewardship (khalifah) practical integration faces challenges including limited green financing instruments, regulatory fragmentation, and insufficient standardized ESG reporting tailored to Islamic finance. To address these issues, the study proposes an integrative ESG Sharia model emphasizing ethical foundations as the core of sustainable practices. Recommendations include developing Maqasid al-Shariah–based ESG indicators, expanding engagement in green financing and renewable energy projects, and adopting digital sustainability reporting. This integrative approach supports both global sustainability goals and the ethical imperatives of Islamic finance, contributing to a value-based, socially responsible, and spiritually aware financial ecosystem.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are revolutionizing transportation by relying on advanced AI techniques like deep learning and reinforcement learning for decision-making and navigation. However, concerns about the opacity of traditional AI models in safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving raise issues related to safety, accountability, and trust. This study explores the integration of Explainable AI (XAI) techniques in AV systems to enhance transparency and interpretability while maintaining high prediction accuracy. XAI methods, such as LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) and SHAP (SHapley Additive ExPlanations), provide understandable justifications for AI-driven decisions, addressing biases, fairness, and accountability. These techniques also support regulatory compliance and foster public trust in AVs. A mixed-methods approach, combining experimental simulations and user surveys, was employed to integrate XAI into AV systems and test its performance in urban traffic and highway driving scenarios. Feedback from users, collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, revealed that XAI-enhanced systems significantly improved the interpretability of AV decisions, leading to higher user trust and satisfaction. The study highlights the importance of balancing model complexity with interpretability, demonstrating that XAI techniques are crucial for building trust and ensuring accountability in autonomous driving systems.

Notary is a public official who has the authority to make authentic deeds. Authentic deeds have formal functions that cannot be carried out by other public officials, so they have strong evidentiary power. In relation to this background, the author considers the following issues: the responsibility and legal protection of notaries for the deeds they make. The method used in this research is normative research using the technique of collecting legal materials through literature study, using primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the research show that the elements of the criminal act of falsifying an authentic deed committed by a notary include fulfilling subjective elements by falsifying an authentic deed. Criminal sanctions for notaries involved in this criminal act are based on Articles 264 paragraph (1) and 266 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code, which stipulate penalties for notaries who make a deed by deliberately using the deed as if its contents were true. From this discussion, it can be concluded that deeds that do not meet the requirements set out in statutory regulations do not have strong evidentiary power and do not have binding legal force.

This research explores the role of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah in modern governance systems, focusing on its application to contemporary issues in Muslim-majority societies. The study examines the challenges posed by traditional Islamic jurisprudence and its rigidity in addressing evolving social, political, and economic conditions. Specifically, it aims to assess how Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah can enhance governance by promoting justice, public welfare, and the protection of rights, as well as offering an adaptable framework for legal reforms. The research employs a comparative literature review and thematic analysis, examining classical and contemporary texts to identify key themes related to the integration of Maqāṣid into governance. The main findings suggest that Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah provides a more flexible and responsive legal framework compared to traditional textual fiqh, especially in the context of modern governance challenges such as human rights, social justice, and public welfare. The study concludes that integrating Maqāṣid principles into contemporary Islamic governance can lead to more equitable and effective systems, enhancing social cohesion, economic stability, and the protection of human rights. Future research could explore specific case studies of Maqāṣid implementation in various governance contexts to further understand its practical applications.

The rapid expansion of digital platforms has transformed the issuance of fatwa in Southeast Asia, enabling Islamic legal opinions to be accessed widely and quickly. This shift challenges traditional patterns of religious authority, which were previously centered around formal institutions and face-to-face scholarly deliberation. While digital fatwa mechanisms enhance accessibility and responsiveness, they also raise concerns about legitimacy, legal accuracy, and public trust. This study examines the effectiveness of digital fatwa issuance mechanisms in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei Darussalam, using a qualitative comparative research approach. Data were collected through content analysis of official digital fatwa portals, focusing on accessibility, authority, validation, and legal consistency. The findings reveal that digital platforms increase access speed and broaden public reach, enabling religious institutions to address emerging legal issues more effectively. However, variations in verification procedures and legitimacy frameworks across countries reflect differences in governance and state involvement. Key challenges include the authentication of mufti authority, standardization of ijtihad methodologies, and consistency in legal substance. Digital fatwa contribute to improving Islamic legal literacy but risk authority fragmentation due to the proliferation of digital sources. The study concludes that integrating the efficiency of digital platforms with the authoritative safeguards of traditional institutions is crucial for developing an accountable model of digital fatwa governance.

The rapid spread of infectious diseases remains a major global health threat, and early detection is vital to minimize their impact. This research investigates the role of predictive modeling using big data in the early detection of infectious disease outbreaks. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of big data systems in forecasting potential outbreaks and the implications of these forecasts for public health systems. The study employs machine learning-based predictive models to process large health datasets, including electronic health records, sensor data, and social media information. The results demonstrate that the predictive model achieved an accuracy rate of 87%, significantly surpassing traditional methods in terms of early detection. By integrating various data sources such as medical records, sensor networks, and real-time digital traces, the system is capable of providing more accurate, timely predictions, which can greatly improve the ability of public health authorities to respond effectively to emerging health threats.

Thus, collaboration between government agencies, healthcare institutions, and technology developers is essential to overcome these obstacles and ensure the sustainable integration of big data into public health infrastructures. This research highlights the significant potential of big data to transform public health responses, offering valuable insights for future epidemic management strategies.  

This research describes and examines the issues arising from the secondhand clothing bazaar (thrifting) in Surakarta. The prohibition of thrifting in Indonesia is stipulated in Law Number 7 of 2014 concerning Trade in Article 47 paragraph (1). Despite the existing prohibition, the fact remains that thrifting activities are still widespread in Indonesia, attracting the interest of event organizers to host large-scale thrifting-themed events, thus leading to an increase in both traders and event organizers involved in thrifting activities in Indonesia. This study is an empirical legal research of a descriptive nature. The types and sources of research data include primary and secondary data as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data collection techniques employed include interviews, followed by qualitative data analysis methods. The research findings indicate several problems with the secondhand clothing bazaar in Surakarta, including the potential decline in public interest towards local products, with a shift towards purchasing secondhand clothing. Furthermore, secondhand clothing may potentially harbor diseases such as mold, as evidenced by tests conducted by the Ministry of Trade. The influx of imported secondhand clothing also generates textile waste, and the efforts by the Indonesian government to halt the secondhand clothing trade have not been fully effective.
