Injustice against women in contemporary Islamic law practice is still a serious problem, especially in cases of divorce, child custody, and the division of common property, which are often decided textually without considering the social, economic, and psychological aspects of women. This phenomenon shows that the application of Islamic law is still normative and does not fully reflect substantive justice as the purpose of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. This research aims to analyze the nature of justice for women in the modern era, identify the steps needed to realize this justice, and formulate Islamic legal solutions based on maqāṣid al-syarī'ah that can be applied contextually in the religious justice system. The research method used is qualitative with a normative-empirical approach through literature analysis, case studies, and empirical data from religious court decisions and reports of official institutions such as Komnas Perempuan. The results of the study show that justice for women can only be achieved through a dynamic maqāṣid approach, by placing the interests of women and children above the legal-formalities of classical fiqh. The efforts needed include the integration of empirical data in judges' decisions, reform of religious justice policies, increasing the capacity of judges in understanding maqāṣid, and empowering women through legal literacy.

Queueing systems play an important role in evaluating service performance, especially in small-scale businesses such as barbershops, where fluctuating customer arrival patterns and limited service capacity often lead to long waiting times. This study aims to analyze the performance of barbershop services using the M/M/1 queueing model and an analytical approach based on experimentally tested arrival (λ) and service (μ) rates. The model was selected because it represents a single-server system with Poisson arrivals and exponentially distributed service times, closely matching real barbershop operational characteristics. Using assumed realistic parameters, the analysis shows that when λ = 12 customers per hour and μ = 6 customers per hour, the system becomes unstable with a utilization rate (ρ) exceeding 1, indicating continuous queue growth. Further simulations with increased service rates demonstrate significant improvements: at μ = 15, the system achieves ρ = 0.8 with an average waiting time of 16 minutes, while at μ = 13, the system remains stable but experiences a long waiting time of approximately 55 minutes. These findings emphasize that barbershop performance is highly sensitive to service speed and that even small increases in μ can produce substantial improvements in queue stability and customer waiting times. The study concludes that barbershops must ensure adequate service capacity—either through optimizing service duration, improving worker efficiency, or adding servers—to maintain service quality and enhance customer satisfaction.

Historically, water resource management in Indonesia has faced significant complexities, often dominated by commercialization and investment-oriented policies that threaten the fundamental rights of farmers. The Constitutional Court’s decision to annul the previous Water Resources Law marks a crucial turning point, demanding a comprehensive policy reformulation. This entails a shift from a market-based paradigm to one grounded in human rights and social welfare, reaffirming state sovereignty over water for the prosperity of the people. The urgency of this reformulation is compounded by the imminent threat of climate change, which introduces high uncertainty into the hydrological cycle—manifesting as extreme droughts and floods—thereby directly impacting the agricultural sector. This research aims to formulate a climate-adaptive water resource management policy that secures the priority rights of farmers. Employing a Normative Legal Research Method with Statutory and Conceptual Approaches, the findings present a new, holistic legal and institu-tional framework. This framework centers on two pillars: first, the firm assertion and absolute legal protection of irrigation water allocation for farmers, even during periods of scarcity; and second, the adoption of a Climate-Adaptive Governance Model. This governance model integrates a unified climate monitoring system, resilient water infrastructure, and the empowerment of Water User Associations (P3A) at the grassroots level to independently respond to shifting climate patterns. This reformulation is essential for achieving water management that is just, sustainable, and effective in maintaining national food security

This community service program aims to develop an empowerment model for Etawa goat milk micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Kepuh Klagen Village, Wringinanom District, Gresik Regency through an Islamic Social Entrepreneurship (ISE) approach. Kepuh Klagen Village has significant economic potential in Etawa goat farming; however, MSME actors face several challenges, including limited halal-thayyib-based production capacity, low literacy in Islamic business management and finance, weak branding and marketing strategies, and the absence of sustainable collaboration among farmers. This program employed a participatory approach through mentoring, training, and capacity building activities. The implementation stages included identifying potentials and problems, providing training on Islamic Social Entrepreneurship values and Islamic business ethics, improving production quality based on halal-thayyib standards, strengthening Islamic financial management practices, and developing digital marketing capabilities. The results indicate an increase in MSME actors’ understanding of Islamic social entrepreneurship, improvements in production hygiene and product quality, and the emergence of collaborative awareness among Etawa goat milk entrepreneurs. The ISE approach proved effective not only in enhancing economic value but also in strengthening social responsibility, spiritual values, and business sustainability. This empowerment model is expected to be replicable for other local commodity-based MSMEs in rural areas.

This study examines the role of officially appointed amil zakat in enhancing transparency and accountability in zakat governance in Mojopuro Village, Wonogiri Regency. Prior to this initiative, Mojopuro had no Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ), resulting in zakat practices that were traditional, undocumented, and lacking institutional oversight. Through a series of mentoring activities and seminars conducted from 8–18 September 2025, capacity-building efforts were directed toward prospective amil zakat, village officials, and religious leaders, focusing on zakat regulations, principles of transparency, and both vertical and horizontal accountability. The implementation methods included material delivery, group discussions, and consultative sessions, which ultimately led to the formal appointment of official amil zakat by the Wonogiri Regency BAZNAS. The findings demonstrate that the presence of official amil significantly improved the structural management of zakat, enhanced participants’ understanding of transparency and accountability, and strengthened coordination among amil, village administrators, and religious figures. These results indicate that village-based institutional mentoring can foster a transformative shift from traditional zakat practices toward professional, transparent, and accountable governance. This study thus offers a community-based empowerment model that can be replicated in other villages to improve zakat distribution effectiveness and build public trust in formal zakat institutions.

This research describes the role of the Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) in community empowerment in Mojopuro Village, Jatiroto District, Wonogiri Regency. The background of this study lies in the condition of the UPZ, which had been established yet was not optimal in its management and functional capacity for zakat administration. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through observations, interviews with BAZNAS and mosque administrators, as well as documentation of seminars and the inauguration of zakat administrators. The findings reveal that the establishment and inauguration of the UPZ by BAZNAS marked the beginning of strengthening village-level zakat institutions. Seminars for mosque administrators improved their understanding of zakat management in accordance with Islamic law and fostered collective awareness of the importance of zakat for economic empowerment. The UPZ plays a role in identifying mustahik, managing funds transparently, and distributing them through community-based productive programs. The UPZ, guided by BAZNAS, holds a strategic role in reinforcing the zakat management system at the village level and has the potential to become an effective instrument for community economic empowerment.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the implementation of a simplified Mini-QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, Environment) system in improving working conditions at the Syams Handicraft woven craft MSME in Pati Regency, Central Java. The study used a quantitative method with a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 47 workers as respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and observations before and after the twelve-week intervention. The results showed that the implementation of the Mini-QHSE system was able to significantly reduce the level of occupational safety and health risks and significantly improve worker welfare. Further analysis revealed that the Mini-QHSE system made a significant contribution to variations in OHS risks and worker welfare. The dimension of safe work procedures proved to be the most influential factor in reducing work risks, while the training aspect was the main factor in improving worker welfare. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Mini-QHSE system designed according to the capacity and characteristics of MSMEs is effective in creating a safer and more prosperous work environment. This model has the potential to be applied to similar MSMEs with contextual adjustments as a practical solution in managing quality, safety, and occupational health in the micro-business sector.

Increasing traffic activity at unsignalized intersections often results in congestion and delays. The intersection of Jl. Imam Bonjol and Jl. Daya Nasional experiences these conditions, making performance evaluation necessary. This research tends to scrutinize the intersection performance under existing conditions and five-year projected conditions and to identify appropriate improvement measures. The analysis was carried out using the 2023 Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI 2023) and PTV VISSIM microsimulation software. Data on intersection geometry, vehicle speed, and traffic volume were collected through CCTV observations on weekdays and weekends. The results show that under existing conditions, the degree of saturation reached 1.170 with an average delay of 33.75 seconds (LOS D). In the five-year projection, the degree of saturation increased to 1.239 with an average delay of 53.69 seconds (LOS E). These findings indicate a decline in intersection performance, highlighting the need for alternative traffic management measures to improve operational performance and service levels.    

This study aims to analyze the major challenges in regional financial management that affect the quality of the implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia. Regional financial management plays a crucial role in achieving fiscal independence and ensuring the effectiveness of local governance. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a literature review approach by examining various scholarly sources, legal regulations, policy reports, and relevant previous studies. The analysis reveals three recurring and interrelated issues: the high level of fiscal dependence of local governments on the central government, the limited capacity and competence of regional financial management personnel, and the persistence of budget misuse reflecting weak governance and oversight mechanisms. These challenges form structural barriers to the realization of fiscal self-reliance and accountable local governance. The study emphasizes that improving regional financial management cannot be carried out in a partial or fragmented manner but requires a comprehensive approach involving the enhancement of human resource capacity, reform of budgeting systems and mechanisms, and the strengthening of transparency and public accountability. Therefore, improving regional financial governance is a strategic step toward achieving effective, sustainable regional autonomy that is oriented toward public welfare.

Sambofuar Village in Samofa District, Biak Numfor Regency, faces various maternal health challenges due to limited access to healthcare services, low socioeconomic conditions, and inadequate capacity of posyandu cadres in supporting pregnant women with high-risk conditions. With a population of 954 people and 228 households, only 64% of pregnant women received antenatal care during the second trimester, while 18% did not undergo any pregnancy check-up. To address these issues, the Student Creativity Program was implemented using a community-based cadre empowerment approach. The program was carried out from October 11 to December 9, 2024, involving five posyandu cadres, most of whom were 50–59 years old, had an elementary school education, and had more than five years of experience. The intensive training provided resulted in a significant increase in knowledge, where pre-test scores ranging from 30–50 improved to 70–90 in the post-test. Mentoring activities at the posyandu also showed that all cadres (100%) were able to perform their duties effectively, including providing health education and independently assisting high-risk pregnant women. This program has contributed positively by improving cadre competency, strengthening maternal health literacy, and potentially reducing the risk of pregnancy complications. Overall, cadre empowerment through training and education has proven effective and should be continued to strengthen the maternal health system in Sambofuar Village.

The dynamics of student organization structure have significant implications for talent retention and student career development. This study aims to comparatively analyze the influence of centralization and decentralization structures in the Information Technology Study Program Student Association on the effectiveness of talent retention strategies and career development capacity. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a comparative design involving 120 respondents selected through purposive sampling technique with criteria of at least one period of organizational experience. Data collection instruments use structured Likert scale questionnaires that have been tested for validity and reliability with Cronbach's Alpha values above 0.80. Data analysis uses Structural Equation Modeling and independent sample t-test to compare both structural models. The results show that the decentralization structure has a strong significant effect on talent retention with a path coefficient of 0.628 compared to centralization of 0.312. Comparative analysis identifies substantial differentiation in all dimensions of career development with the decentralization structure consistently outperforming centralization, especially in the aspect of decision-making autonomy. The findings confirm that the distribution of authority in decentralization creates a learning ecosystem that facilitates diversification of leadership experiences and strengthens students' organizational commitment through participatory empowerment mechanisms.

This study investigates the impact of board characteristics on the financial performance of non-financial companies listed in the JII70 index in Indonesia. Motivated by the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms in enhancing firm outcomes, particularly within Sharia-compliant markets, this study focuses on three key board attributes: board size, board independence, and female representation on the board. Using a quantitative causal approach and panel data from 25 companies over the period 2020–2023, the study employs a fixed effect model to evaluate the relationship between board structure and financial performance measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The results show that board size has a positive and significant effect on firm performance, indicating that larger boards may enhance oversight capacity and provide broader resources beneficial to strategic decision-making. Conversely, board independence and board female representation do not exhibit significant effects on financial performance, suggesting that their roles may be more symbolic or constrained by institutional and contextual factors in the sampled companies. These findings highlight the importance of understanding corporate governance not merely in structural terms, but in relation to functional effectiveness and contextual maturity. The study offers implications for regulators, companies, and governance reform initiatives, particularly regarding strengthening substantive roles of independent and female commissioners in improving firm performance within Sharia-compliant markets.

Physical fitness is a fundamental determinant of athletic performance and is strongly influenced by dietary intake and lifestyle behaviors. Adequate protein consumption is essential for muscle development and energy metabolism, whereas smoking has detrimental effects on lung function and aerobic capacity. This study aimed to explore the relationship between protein intake and smoking habits with physical fitness, measured by maximal oxygen uptake, among athletes of Persela Football Academy under-eighteen. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was applied, involving adolescent male athletes. Protein intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, smoking habits were obtained through structured interviews, and maximal oxygen uptake was measured using the multistage fitness test. Findings revealed that the average daily protein intake of athletes was relatively high, while the mean maximal oxygen uptake score fell within the good category. Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant association between protein intake and aerobic fitness, as well as between smoking habits and aerobic fitness. The results indicate that lower protein intake and higher smoking frequency are linked to reduced physical fitness capacity. This study highlights the importance of nutritional interventions and healthy lifestyle promotion as integral components in the development of youth athletes to optimize performance and prevent decline in fitness.

This study discusses the role of the Kupang City Council in carrying out its supervisory function on gender-responsive maternal and child health policies, with a case study focus on Oebobo District. The background of this study stems from the high maternal and child mortality rates and the suboptimal implementation of Kupang City Regulation No. 7 of 2013. This study uses a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques, and involves informants from DPRD members, health workers, posyandu cadres, and community leaders. The results show that the DPRD, particularly through Commission IV, has carried out its supervisory function through regulatory support, budget allocation, program evaluation, and field visits. Some of the programs supervised include Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), strengthening Posyandu, and basic health services at Puskesmas. However, the effectiveness of supervision still faces various obstacles, including the lack of female representation in the DPRD, strong patriarchal culture, lack of socialization of local regulations, weak cross-sector coordination, and low community participation. The conclusion of this study confirms that the success of gender-responsive maternal and child health policies is greatly influenced by the capacity of the DPRD in oversight, political and budgetary support, and community involvement.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in Indonesia's economic development, particularly in developing products based on local wisdom. Toko Jayabaru is an MSME that markets Maumere's signature souvenirs made from traditional ikat woven fabric, facing various challenges and opportunities amid business and tourism dynamics. This study aims to identify internal and external factors affecting Toko Jayabaru's performance and formulate appropriate business development strategies through SWOT analysis. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through in-depth interviews with the owner and management of Toko Jayabaru. Data analysis uses the SWOT framework (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) to identify the business's strategic position and formulate alternative development strategies. Toko Jayabaru's main strengths lie in strong local cultural identity, authentic product quality, and adequate business experience. Weaknesses include limited digital marketing, restricted production capacity, and lack of derivative product variations. Opportunities encompass Flores tourism sector growth, increasing interest in local products, and potential strategic collaborations. Main threats are competition from similar products, influx of imitation products, and dependence on tourism sector fluctuations. Recommended development strategies include strengthening branding through storytelling, diversifying woven derivative products, optimizing digital marketing, strategic collaboration with tourism stakeholders, enhancing human resource capacity, and implementing customer loyalty programs. Implementation of these strategies is expected to increase MSME competitiveness while preserving Maumere's local culture.

The issue of street vendors (PKL) in Sidoarjo Regency, particularly in the Gading Fajar area, has become a significant concern as it relates to public order, the use of public space, and the economic dynamics of small communities. To address these challenges, the Sidoarjo Regency Government enacted Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2016 as the legal basis for structuring and empowering PKL. This study examines how the regulation is implemented in practice and evaluates its effectiveness using a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observations, and documentation, analyzed with Leo Agustino’s policy evaluation model, which assesses five key aspects: administrative resources, institutional coordination, infrastructure and technology, financial support, and regulatory adequacy. The findings show that the implementation of the regulation has not yet reached optimal performance, as limited socialization, insufficient personnel, weak coordination among agencies, inadequate supporting facilities, and low compliance with zoning rules hinder the achievement of policy objectives. These issues are reflected in the continued presence of PKL operating in non-designated areas despite clear regulatory provisions. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, improving facilities, enhancing enforcement consistency, and developing more operational technical guidelines are essential to ensure more effective and sustainable management and empowerment of street vendors in Sidoarjo Regency.

This study aims to analyze the role of the Makmur Mandiri Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSP) in supporting the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). KSP Makmur Mandiri serves as a microfinance institution providing financial access and business mentoring for MSME actors. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a Group Investigation approach, involving group discussions to gain deeper insights from relevant literature sources such as journals and books. The theoretical review supports understanding the cooperative’s role in improving member welfare and the obstacles faced in managing and developing MSMEs. The findings show that KSP Makmur Mandiri has succeeded in providing continuous capital and support, helping MSMEs to survive and grow despite economic challenges, especially after the pandemic. However, the cooperative faces various internal and external obstacles that require strategic collaboration for sustainable development. The implication of this study is to encourage enhanced managerial capacity of cooperatives and the need for stronger government policy support to optimize the cooperative’s role as a strategic partner for MSMEs.
