The Node-RED dashboard display was considered informative and helpful for users in monitoring and analyzing PV performance. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the IoT-based electrical energy monitoring system designed in this study functions well and is feasible for application in residential or educational-scale PV installations. The system still has the potential for further development through cloud service integration, the addition of environmental sensors, and enhancements to data analysis features and user interface design.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran simbol keagamaan dalam merefleksikan maupun menutupi kesenjangan kelas sosial di masyarakat perkotaan, dengan menggunakan perspektif teori Karl Marx mengenai agama sebagai ideologi dan alat legitimasi kekuasaan. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, melalui wawancara semi-struktural terhadap warga kota dari kelas sosial menengah ke atas dan kelas menengah ke bawah, serta tokoh agama setempat. Data dianalisis dengan teknik analisis tematik untuk melihat pola relasi antara simbol agama, posisi kelas, dan akses terhadap kekuasaan sosial-ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simbol agama kerap digunakan oleh kelas atas sebagai sarana pembentukan citra, legitimasi status, dan penguatan struktur sosial, sedangkan bagi kelas bawah agama berfungsi sebagai sumber harapan dan solidaritas sosial, namun tidak selalu membuka akses terhadap mobilitas ekonomi. Secara umum, agama dapat berfungsi ganda: menjadi media pemersatu sosial sekaligus cermin ketimpangan kelas yang tersembunyi dalam praktik keagamaan sehari-hari. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya membaca agama tidak hanya secara teologis, tetapi juga sebagai fenomena sosial yang berkaitan dengan produksi makna, kekuasaan, dan distribusi sumber daya.

This study explores ethical investment practices among Catholic institutions in Indonesia. As a relatively rare area of inquiry, the research investigates the extent to which Catholic institutions have sought to translate the principles of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) into the field of investment. Data were collected through interviews with key participants from three dioceses and six congregations. The findings reveal that these institutions have endeavored to implement ethical principles derived from CST. Due to limitations in their capacity to conduct screening and analysis of various investment options, they have adopted a strategic approach by utilizing the services of an investment consultancy team from the Indonesian Bishops’ Conference (KWI). Drawing on Max Weber’s theoretical framework, this practice is interpreted as a form of social action grounded in “value-rationality.” Thus, investment activities pursued rationally for financial gain are framed within the values of CST. In this way, Catholic institutions have sought to establish faith-based ethical investment practices.

Tourism is one of the sectors that plays an important role in boosting economic growth through travel activities and destination exploration. Tourists' preferences for nature-based tourism options, such as mountain hiking or beach tourism, are influenced by various factors, ranging from personal experiences and recreational interests to social characteristics. Therefore, a technology-based approach is needed to predict destination choice tendencies more accurately. As artificial intelligence technology develops, deep learning methods have been widely used in classification processes due to their ability to process large amounts of data and recognize complex patterns. In this study, a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model is used to classify tourists' preferences between mountain or beach destinations based on a survey dataset. The research stages include data processing, data splitting using a train-test split, model training, and performance evaluation using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The test results show that the MLP model is capable of achieving an accuracy rate of 99%, confirming that deep learning methods are effective in automatically mapping tourism preference trends. This research is expected to serve as a basis for the development of more personalized travel destination recommendation systems, as well as to support tourism management in formulating targeted promotional strategies.

Partial Denture (GTSL) is an ideal option for patients with missing teeth, with various materials such as thermoplastic nylon (flexible denture), acrylic resin, and metal. Heat-cured acrylic resin and thermoplastic nylon are the two most commonly used materials for denture bases. Denture bases must have sufficient mechanical strength to withstand chewing forces. Acrylic resin, made from polymethyl methacrylate, has become the gold standard in prosthodontics due to its affordability, ease of fabrication, and satisfactory functional results. However, acrylic resin tends to be rigid, brittle, and may cause soft tissue irritation. As an alternative, thermoplastic nylon offers high physical strength, resistance to heat and chemicals, as well as plastic and flexible properties. However, thermoplastic nylon tends to absorb water, change color, and is difficult to repair. Thermoplastic nylon-based dentures provide comfort, aesthetics, and good marginal adaptation, with less soft tissue irritation compared to acrylic resin dentures. Although both materials have comparable characteristics in terms of retention, stability, and durability, flexible dentures are more attractive to patients who prioritize comfort and aesthetics.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium commonly found in the environment and serves as an important indicator of microbiological contamination in cosmetic products. Its ability to survive in low nutrient conditions and its resistance to various preservatives make it a microorganism frequently found in water-based products. Contamination can occur during production, storage, and use, and has the potential to cause irritation or infection, especially in individuals with low immunity. This literature review was compiled based on data searches on PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and Scopus with inclusion criteria of original studies from 2015 to 2025 that reported the detection of P. aeruginosa in cosmetic products. The results of the review show that P. aeruginosa is not only found in new products but also in used products, mainly due to unhygienic usage practices. Although some products are declared free from contamination, monitoring of the production process and consumer education on how to use and store cosmetics are still necessary. Thus, the detection and control of P. aeruginosa are important aspects in ensuring the safety of cosmetic products on the market.

This study explores the persuasive linguistic techniques used in 50 Instagram advertisements by Anomali Coffee, a prominent Indonesian specialty coffee brand. The research aims to identify and analyze the linguistic strategies embedded in captions, hashtags, slogans, and textual elements in promotional visuals using Lamb’s (2011) 21 category persuasive language framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted for this purpose. The analysis reveals 46 instances of persuasive techniques, with the most common being inclusive language, imagery, hyperbole, connotation, and colloquial expressions. These findings suggest that Anomali Coffee strategically employs emotional engagement, community oriented language, and sensory appeals to strengthen brand identity and resonance. Additionally, credibility enhancing strategies such as expert opinion and evidence are also evident. The study contributes to the application of Lamb’s taxonomy in Indonesian digital marketing, particularly in the specialty coffee industry, showing how linguistic persuasion can amplify consumer interaction on social media platforms. However, the study’s focus on a single brand and textual features limits its generalizability. Future research should consider cross brand comparisons, multimodal analyses, and consumer response studies to further explore the effectiveness of persuasive techniques. Overall, the findings offer valuable insights into the role of persuasive language in shaping digital marketing strategies for local coffee brands in Indonesia.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) have the potential to be recognized as an object of Rahn Tasjily collateral because they meet the criteria of property that can be transferred in accordance with the principles of muamalah in Islamic banking. However, its implementation faces legal challenges, particularly related to the dualism between the provisions of Fiduciary Guarantee (UUJF), which contains potential riba and gharar, and the DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 68/2008, which rejects such non-Sharia elements. This study aims to analyze the position of IPR as marhun according to the principles of muamalah and to identify substantial barriers in its application in Islamic Financial Institutions (LKS), particularly in the aspects of valuation and execution. The method used is normative law with an approach to regulations and concepts, analyzed descriptively and qualitatively using secondary data. The study concludes that the conflict between UUJF and Rahn Tasjily, the high risk of gharar in valuation, and the delays in execution due to the Constitutional Court's decision, highlight the urgent need for OJK and DSN-MUI to issue technical regulations to harmonize and mitigate risks in accordance with Sharia principles.

This research examines the legal vulnerability of Foundation assets whose land title certificates (SHGB) are still registered under the name of the founder or management, which can lead to disputes after the founder's death. The case of Vihara Thien En Thang reflects this issue, where conflict arose when the founder's heirs claimed the land as part of the inheritance. Through false statements, they successfully issued a Replacement HGB Certificate, while the original certificate was still held by the Foundation. The main objective of this research is to analyze the legal status of the deed of gift made by the founder to the Foundation and the legal implications of issuing the Replacement HGB Certificate based on false data. This study uses a normative legal method (juridical normative), with a statute approach and conceptual approach. Secondary data, consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources, was collected through literature study and analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. Thus, this research aims to provide an understanding of its vulnerabilities and offer recommendations for protecting the legitimate assets of the Foundation.

This Community Service Program (PkM) was carried out at PT Golden Visalux with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of the company’s operational cost budget control.
