A ruling is a decision delivered by a judge in a trial, aimed at resolving a dispute or legal matter between the parties involved. There are various types of rulings, such as Declarative Rulings, Constitutive Rulings, Condemnatory Rulings, Contradictory Rulings, and Default Rulings. Each ruling has two kinds of authority: binding authority and executive authority, which refers to the power to enforce the ruling. Judges play a central role and have a significant responsibility in upholding the law and justice. Therefore, judges' professionalism must continually be improved to ensure that rulings are fair and in accordance with applicable regulations. Not only judges, but all members and staff of the Religious Courts are also required to enhance their professionalism in performing their duties. This is particularly important considering the expanded jurisdiction of Religious Courts in handling cases in the field of Islamic economics, which is still relatively new. As a result, the application of the concept of judicial rulings in Indonesia’s Religious Courts must continue to evolve to meet the public's expectations for justice based on the law.

Female puppeteers often face various obstacles in their personal and professional development due to the limitations imposed by social constructs, which dictate that female puppeteers must resemble their male counterparts in terms of style, technique, and character. In this context, gender becomes a barrier that hinders women from fully expressing their identity and creativity freely within the world of wayang (traditional Javanese puppetry). As a result, few women dare to develop their personal perspectives and thoughts into artistic works. In fact, women possess great opportunities and significant potential to create and cultivate wayang literature in innovative and meaningful ways. Amidst these challenges and prevailing stereotypes, Nyi Lucia Siti Aminah Subanto remains consistently active in her creative pursuits, particularly in the development of wayang wahyu (a type of Christian-themed wayang). Her distinctive style and artistic approach greatly contribute to her presence in the world of puppetry and radio media. This study examines gender roles, the characteristics of her pakeliran (performance), and her contributions to the Wayang Wahyu community “Ngajab Rahayu,” using theories by Kamla Bhasin, Sunuh, Robbins, and Gibson.

This study explores the issue of misallocated zakat distribution at BAZNAS Cilegon, emphasizing the significance of trustworthiness (amanah) and accountability within the Islamic framework. Zakat serves not only as an act of worship but also as a socio-economic instrument designed to reduce inequality and improve community welfare. However, in practice, its distribution often encounters obstacles, particularly regarding transparency and the accuracy of targeting beneficiaries. Employing a qualitative approach with a library research method, this study analyzes scholarly journals, books, and official reports relevant to the topic. The findings reveal that weak beneficiary data collection, insufficient verification processes, and limited monitoring mechanisms contribute to zakat being distributed to unintended recipients. The suspected misuse of zakat funds at BAZNAS Cilegon highlights the urgent need for trustworthy and transparent governance supported by modern management systems. The implications of this study suggest that strengthening monitoring systems, implementing regular sharia-based audits, utilizing digital technology for data integration, and enforcing strict sanctions against negligent or dishonest amil are crucial steps to rebuild public trust. Ultimately, zakat can only achieve its dual function as a form of worship and as an instrument of social justice when managed with integrity, transparency, and professionalism.

The progressive dynamics of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) encourage accurate and optimized financial statement audits. Every listed company is required to prepare financial statements in accordance with accounting standards and have them verified by independent auditors registered with the capital market authority. Auditing for publicly listed companies demands high responsibility, motivating firms to improve professional standards, including maintaining timeliness in audit reporting. One of the sectors under focus is the oil, gas, and coal subsector, where some companies experience delays in financial reporting, known as audit delay. Factors influencing these delays include firm size and solvency. This study aims to analyze the effect of firm size and solvency on audit delay in companies within the oil, gas, and coal subsector listed on the IDX from 2021 to 2024. The study sample consists of 13 companies meeting the research criteria during this period. Purposive sampling was employed, and data were analyzed using classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression with SPSS version 27. Results indicate that firm size has a significant negative effect on audit delay, while solvency does not have a significant partial effect.

This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method through in-depth interviews with PAI teachers. The results revealed that teachers have begun to integrate lecture methods with more innovative learning strategies such as contextual, cooperative, and technology-based, although their implementation has not always been consistent. The main challenges faced include limited infrastructure, a lack of professional training for teachers, and low learning motivation among some students. The visible impact is increased student engagement in the learning process when innovative strategies are implemented, although their effectiveness still needs to be strengthened with support from the institution and parents. Therefore, the Islamic Religious Education teachers at the Al-Hidayah Foundation not only function as teachers, but also as motivators and facilitators in the learning process to ensure that the goals of Islamic education can be achieved properly.

This study aims to explore the meaning of hospitality as experienced by front office employees of five-star hotels in South Kuta, Bali, using a phenomenological approach. As the frontline in guest interactions, the subjective experience of employees significantly influences service quality, guest satisfaction, and the hotel's image. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 18 informants, observation, and internal documentation. Data analysis followed a descriptive phenomenological procedure to produce rich contextual descriptions. The findings indicate that hospitality for front office employees is complex and influenced by both internal and external factors, including professional identity, emotional labor, and the quality of interpersonal relations with guests. Although existing theoretical frameworks are relevant, there are gaps between theory and practice in stress management and the effectiveness of compensation. Recommendations include the development of emotional training programs, non-financial rewards, and employee involvement in job redesign and retention strategies based on competence development. These strategies are expected to improve job satisfaction, service quality, and guest loyalty.

This study thoroughly explores the role of Christian women’s fellowship as a locus of spiritual recovery for survivors of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The research was conducted through a library study of scholarly literature published in the past decade on faith-based community support, religious coping, and trauma-informed ministry. Thematic analysis indicates that women’s fellowship can provide a safe and inclusive recovery environment, facilitate faith reconstruction through positive religious coping and trauma-sensitive practices, and bridge spiritual care with professional mental health services. The novelty of this research lies in integrating recent findings from the psychology of religion with pastoral theology principles to develop a theoretical-practical framework adaptable to church contexts. The practical implications include implementing trauma-informed ministry standards, designing adaptive spiritual curricula, training facilitators, and conducting continuous evaluations. Therefore, Christian women’s fellowship has the potential to strengthen the church’s capacity as a holistic, safe, and resilient recovery community for PTSD survivors.

This study aims to examine how social interactions between stakeholders at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University (UIN) Yogyakarta affect the performance of outsourced security guards. In the context of higher education, outsourced security guards hold a strategic position in maintaining campus security, so the dynamics of social relationships involving them, both with internal and external parties, are important aspects to examine. The research approach used was qualitative, combining field observation methods, in-depth interviews with seven key informants, and documentation review. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions using the Miles and Huberman model. The results show that open communication, regular appreciation, and structured coordination contribute significantly to improving motivation, discipline, and the quality of security services. Healthy competition between members encourages increased professionalism, while conflicts that arise in daily interactions can be managed effectively through a persuasive approach and collective support from colleagues and superiors. These findings confirm that the performance of outsourced officers is not solely determined by formal work systems or hierarchical instructions, but also by the quality of social relationships established in the work environment. Thus, positive social interactions play a crucial role in creating optimal performance and can serve as a model for relevant managerial practices for other higher education institutions.

This research looks into the transparency and accountability in the promotion process for civil servants at the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) of Sidoarjo Regency as a component of the continual bureaucratic reform aimed at achieving clean and professional governance. Overall, the promotion process has embraced the digital-based Sidoarjo Smart ASN system and adheres to the merit principle, although obstacles persist in achieving completely transparent and accountable practices. The study centers on four key areas: transparency of public information, responsibility in decision-making, the validity of the merit system, and the efficiency of internal oversight and citizen engagement. A qualitative descriptive method utilizing a case study approach was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, direct observations, and the analysis of official documents. The results indicate that transparency continues to be administrative in character, accountability is focused vertically instead of being horizontally accountable to the public, and the merit system encounters challenges linked to bureaucratic culture and the integration of competency data. Additionally, internal oversight does not have enough community engagement in assessing promotion procedures. The research suggests improving transparency via interactive publishing, establishing accountability systems based on performance, boosting independent evaluation capabilities, and incorporating digital oversight tools with public engagement. These results are anticipated to provide a basis for creating a civil service management model at the regional government level that is more transparent, accountable, and grounded in integrity.

This study investigates the simultaneous and individual effects of School-Based Management (SBM), principal supervision, transformational leadership, and work culture on the performance of junior high school teachers in Serang City, Indonesia. Against the backdrop of the Merdeka Curriculum and the shift to hybrid learning in the post-pandemic era, the research addresses persistent challenges such as hierarchical school cultures and technological disparities. Employing a quantitative ex post facto approach, data were collected from 316 teachers across public and private schools through structured questionnaires, classroom observations, and document analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that SBM, principal supervision, transformational leadership, and work culture each have significant and positive impacts on teacher performance, with transformational leadership and work culture exerting the most substantial influence. The results demonstrate that 74% of the variance in teacher performance can be explained by these four organizational factors, underscoring their critical role in shaping pedagogical competence, classroom management, and professional development. The study further highlights the necessity for comprehensive managerial training, the integration of technology in supervisory practices, and the cultivation of collaborative and innovative work cultures. Practical recommendations include enhancing principal leadership capacity, fostering instructional supervision, and investing in digital infrastructure to support sustainable improvements in teacher performance. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge on educational management in Indonesia and offer actionable insights for policymakers, school leaders, and educators aiming to strengthen teacher effectiveness amidst ongoing educational reforms and digital transformation.
