Education plays a crucial role in shaping students' character based on Pancasila values. However, in the era of globalization, these values are increasingly eroded by external cultural influences. To address this, Islamic-based schools integrate Pancasila values into school culture through various religious activities. This study aims to analyze how the Islamic-based school culture at SMA Islam Al Ulum Terpadu Medan contributes to strengthening Pancasila values. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a quantitative approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews with teachers and student organization leaders (Rohis), and questionnaires distributed to 40 students from grades X, XI, and XII. The findings indicate that various programs, such as Tadarus before lessons, Hafalan Tahfiz, Tarbiyah Ramadhan, and Pesantren Kilat, help instill discipline, teamwork, and social awareness among students. Approximately 75% of students reported that these activities enhanced their understanding and practice of Pancasila values in daily life. However, the study also identified several challenges, including a lack of variation in teaching methods and the need for innovation to make activities more engaging for students. Therefore, developing more interactive and innovative methods is necessary to improve the effectiveness of these programs in shaping students' character based on Pancasila.

Manga, or Japanese comics, are becoming increasingly popular among Indonesian boys and can be easily found online. Fujoshi refers to female fans and fundashi refers to male fans of the “boys love” genre, which is characterized by romantic comedies involving male protagonists in media such as literature, anime, and video games. The intensity of reading a particular “boys love manga” genre and a favorable view of homosexuality are the focus of this study. A correlation coefficient of 0.227 was obtained, indicating a weak but positive relationship of 22.7%, between the two variables in this study using a quantitative correlational method. A total of 351 participants in this study were tested for their hypotheses using the Pearson Product Moment correlation. Individual attitudes can be shaped by many factors, including their own life experiences, the opinions of influential people in their lives, cultural norms, the media, the education system, religious organizations, and even their own emotions.

This study aims to explore the integration pattern between Science and Islam in the context of the Integrated Madrasah Science Competition (KSM) for Biology at MAN 1 Wonosobo. The research specifically seeks to: (1) identify the conceptual pattern of Science–Islam integration in Biology learning, (2) examine the implementation of this integration in the KSM preparation process, and (3) analyze the factors influencing its effectiveness. This research adopts a qualitative approach, employing field research and descriptive analysis to capture a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The findings reveal that the integration pattern in Biology learning within the KSM context is characterized as integrative–interconnective, where scientific concepts are interconnected with Islamic values and perspectives. Supervisory teachers with a strong background in pure Biology tend to be more active in developing discussion themes, conducting in-depth dialogues, and organizing studies that merge scientific and religious viewpoints. The effective implementation of this integration is supported by optimal utilization of learning resources, particularly Biology textbooks, as a source of pure scientific material enriched with Islamic insights. Such integration is further strengthened by collaborative discussions between teachers and students, fostering deeper understanding and critical thinking. Several factors contribute to the effectiveness of Biology KSM learning. These include the existence of a curriculum and learning materials that intentionally integrate Science and Islam, as well as the interdisciplinary competencies of teachers who not only master Biology content but also possess the ability to connect it with Islamic principles. Additionally, institutional support from all components of the madrasah—administrators, fellow teachers, and students—plays a crucial role in creating a structured, motivating, and inspiring guidance environment. In conclusion, the integration of Science and Islam in the Biology KSM at MAN 1 Wonosobo represents an effective educational model that promotes both scientific literacy and religious understanding, contributing to holistic student development in madrasah education.

This research examines the impact of digital literacy module implementation on Buddhist extension effectiveness through the UTAUT model analysis. Using a mixed-methods approach with 144 respondents from Buddhist communities and extension officers in Wonogiri, Pati, and Temanggung, the study measures implementation impact on extension effectiveness across several dimensions. The results demonstrate that the digital literacy module implementation significantly improved extension effectiveness with a 37% increase in religious literacy, 42% increase in community participation, and 53% improvement in extension officers' confidence. The UTAUT model path analysis revealed that Age (Beta = 0.549) and Social Influence (Beta = 0.208) were the strongest factors affecting behavioral intention to use the modules. The modules' impact was moderated by implementation context, with better outcomes in areas with adequate technological infrastructure. The study concludes that digital literacy modules positively impact Buddhist extension effectiveness when supported by appropriate implementation strategies that account for user characteristics and contextual factors. For optimal impact, implementation strategies should be age-differentiated, leverage social influence networks, ensure user-friendly design, emphasize concrete benefits, and provide adequate infrastructure support. Further research should explore long-term sustainability of digital practices in religious extension and develop more targeted interventions for different demographic segments of the Buddhist community.

The diversity of schools of jurisprudence in Islam, such as Hanafi, Maliki, Syafii, Hanbali, and Shia, reflects various legal approaches that develop according to their respective social, cultural and historical contexts. The four Sunni schools of thought have different methodologies, but are still based on the Koran and Hadith. The Hanafi school of thought is known to be flexible in its legal interpretation, while the Maliki school prioritizes the practices of the people of Medina. Syafii stands out for his systematic use of hadith, while Hanbali is more strict in following authentic hadith. The Shia school of thought with its distinctive characteristics also enriches the understanding of Islamic jurisprudence. This diversity shows that Islamic law is dynamic and contextual, allowing adaptation to changes in time and place. Therefore, Muslims need to prioritize tolerance and respect differences. The diversity of sects is not a cause of division, but rather a means of deepening religious understanding and practice. Dialogue between schools of thought is the key to strengthening unity, increasing mutual understanding, and creating harmony in social life.
