This study aims to describe the application of the Jigsaw Learning method in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMP 3 Sendana and to identify the advantages and obstacles encountered during the learning process. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the application of the Jigsaw Learning method can increase student activeness, strengthen group cooperation, and help understand the material more deeply and comprehensively. In this activity, students not only act as recipients of information from the teacher, but also as conveyors of material to their group mates. The process of sharing information between members encourages students to be more active in seeking out, understanding, and explaining the concepts being studied. In addition, this method also creates a collaborative and enjoyable learning atmosphere, due to the positive social interactions between students. This can increase a sense of responsibility and concern for the success of the group. However, in its implementation, several obstacles were found that require attention. Some of these include limited study time within the available lesson hours, inequality in contributions between group members which sometimes results in an uneven workload, and a lack of student readiness to understand the material independently before the group discussion process takes place. Despite the challenges, these obstacles can be minimized through effective classroom management, such as balanced group division, motivation, and intensive teacher support throughout the learning process. With the right strategy, Jigsaw Learning remains an effective and relevant method for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, as it encourages the achievement of learning objectives in a participatory, active, and enjoyable manner. Therefore, this method is a worthy alternative to cooperative learning that can improve the quality of religious education at the junior high school level.

Digital transformation in the public sector has become a strategic agenda to improve the efficiency, transparency, and quality of government services, including in regional revenue management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital transformation in the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda: Badan Pendapatan Daerah) of East Java Province, especially in the Gresik Technical Implementation Unit (UPT: Unit Pelaksana Teknis), as well as its impact on administrative efficiency, transparency, and increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD: Pendapatan Asli Daerah). This study uses a non-empirical qualitative approach with a literature study method, which involves the analysis of secondary data from scientific journals, policy documents, government performance reports, and community digitalization indicators such as the Indonesian Digital Society Index (IMDI: Indeks Masyarakat Digital Indonesia). The results show that digital transformation through e-payment systems and web-based administration has significantly accelerated the service process, improved taxpayer compliance, and reduced revenue leakage. The receipt of PAD through digital channels increased by 60% in one year, while service efficiency increased by reducing administrative process time from three days to one day. The implementation of this digital transformation is also influenced by the readiness of infrastructure, apparatus competence, and community digital literacy, as described in the theoretical framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Dynamic Capabilities, and TOE Framework. Despite positive achievements, challenges such as digital skills gaps, resistance to change, and system security issues are still obstacles in optimizing digital transformation. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the development  of e-governance literature  and digital public policy practices at the local level. These findings also provide concrete recommendations for other regions to replicate good practices of digital transformation that have succeeded in improving regional financial performance. Thus, digital transformation is not only a technological instrument, but also a governance strategy that requires synergy between technology, organizations, and society

Amal Madani Indonesia (AMI) is a zakat philanthropic institution based in Cimahi, West Java, with a vision to empower communities through professional, transparent, and accountable management of zakat, infaq, and alms (ZIS) funds. As a zakat institution, AMI focuses not only on the collection and distribution of funds but also emphasizes the importance of good governance so that the collected funds can have a real impact on improving community welfare. This study aims to analyze AMI's contribution to improving community economic empowerment, evaluate the efficiency of zakat distribution, and examine the practice of Islamic philanthropic governance in the Cimahi region. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through field observations, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews with administrators and beneficiaries. The results show that AMI has a significant role in encouraging the socio-economic development of the surrounding community. The programs implemented are not only oriented towards distributing consumer assistance, but also focus on sustainable empowerment, for example through entrepreneurship training, mentoring micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), providing access to capital, and providing educational scholarships for children from underprivileged families. This strategy demonstrates that AMI is striving to shift the paradigm of zakat from merely a means of distributing welfare to an instrument for the economic development of the community. However, research also found several obstacles faced, including the program's distribution reach which is still limited to certain areas, limited human resources in managing empowerment programs, and low levels of zakat literacy among the community. The low understanding of some communities regarding the obligation of zakat has an impact on the potential for zakat collection that is not optimal. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve zakat education, optimize digital technology in collection and distribution, and strengthen collaboration with various parties, both government and the private sector.

Human trafficking is a highly complex form of transnational crime involving transnational criminal networks. This crime generally originates from developing countries with unstable socio-economic conditions, where women and children are often the primary victims. They are forced or tricked into working in exploitative sectors, particularly sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, and other forms of oppression that benefit agents, distributors, and organized crime syndicates. In Indonesia, regulations regarding this crime are stipulated in Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. This study aims to determine the form of legal protection provided to victims of human trafficking in the jurisdiction of the Surabaya Police, as well as to understand the various obstacles faced by police officers and the efforts made to overcome them. The research method used is empirical juridical, namely examining the law in practice through primary data obtained from interviews, observations, and official documents, then combined with secondary data in the form of legal literature, laws and regulations, and tertiary legal materials to support the analysis. This study found that the Surabaya City Police have implemented legal protection measures for victims of human trafficking in accordance with applicable regulations, from handling reports and conducting investigations and inquiries, to coordinating with relevant agencies such as social services, women's and children's protection agencies, and non-governmental organizations. However, several obstacles remain, including limited police resources, low victim awareness of reporting cases, and threats from perpetrators that discourage victims from cooperating. Despite this, maximum efforts continue to be made through improved inter-agency coordination, legal and psychological assistance for victims, and firm law enforcement against perpetrators. Therefore, it can be concluded that legal protection for victims of human trafficking at the Surabaya City Police has been quite effective, although institutional strengthening and increased public legal awareness are still needed.

This study focuses on the development of an intelligent enemy behavior system in the 2D maze game Dungeon Escape by combining the A* algorithm for pathfinding and a Behavior Tree (BT) structure for decision-making. The main objective is to enhance Non-Playable Character (NPC) intelligence, enabling more adaptive and realistic interactions with players. The A* algorithm is implemented to allow NPCs to pursue players through the shortest and most efficient paths while avoiding obstacles on a grid-based map. Meanwhile, the Behavior Tree framework is designed to manage NPC actions based on dynamic conditions, such as attacking when in close proximity, chasing players within a certain detection radius, and retreating to the original guard position when the player leaves the active zone. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, system design, and implementation using the Unity game engine. Testing procedures consist of both white-box and black-box approaches to evaluate the correctness, functionality, and efficiency of the system. The results indicate that all major game features—including player navigation, combat mechanics, key collection, enemy pathfinding, and user interface interactions—operate smoothly as expected. Furthermore, NPCs exhibit adaptive behavior by dynamically switching between patrolling, chasing, and attacking modes depending on the player’s location and proximity. Performance testing shows that the integrated A* and BT system runs efficiently without significant delays or instability, even in higher-level stages with more complex layouts. The final game prototype includes seven progressively challenging levels, offering players an engaging and dynamic gameplay experience. This study demonstrates that the combination of pathfinding and decision-making algorithms provides an effective solution for designing intelligent NPCs, improving both realism and entertainment value in 2D games. The findings are expected to serve as a useful reference for future research and development in AI-based game design, particularly in the context of Unity game projects.

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving social arithmetic problems based on the Polya stages and FRISCO indicators. The research subjects consisted of three students in grade VIII R-5 MTs Nurul Jadid who were purposively selected to represent the high, medium, and low ability categories out of a total of 21 students. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with instruments in the form of two social arithmetic description questions and semi-structured interview guidelines. Data analysis was carried out by referring to the four stages of problem solving according to Polya (understanding the problem, planning the solution, executing the plan, and re-examination) as well as the six FRISCO critical thinking indicators (Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarity, Overview). The results of the study showed that students with high abilities were able to solve problems systematically through all stages of Polya and met almost all FRISCO indicators, especially in the aspects of Focus, Reason, and Clarity. Students with moderate ability show sufficient understanding but are inconsistent in planning and implementing solutions, and experience difficulties in the Reason, Situation, and Overview indicators. Students with low abilities experience obstacles from the early stages of understanding problems and do not show significant indicators of critical thinking. These findings indicate that the Polya stage and the FRISCO indicator can be used in a complementary manner to identify and analyze students' critical thinking skills in solving contextual math problems. The implication of this study is the need for a learning strategy that emphasizes strengthening the stages of problem solving and developing explicit critical thinking indicators in the mathematics learning process. This research also opens up opportunities for the development of more structured diagnostic instruments in measuring students' individual critical thinking skills.

Advances in digital technology in the financial sector have encouraged Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to shift from cash payment systems to non-cash payments through QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) as an effort to increase efficiency and modernize transactions. This research is motivated by the low level of QRIS adoption among MSMEs in Junti Village, Jawilan District, Serang Regency, Banten, most of which still rely on cash-based transactions. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of QRIS by MSMEs, identify the obstacles faced, and assess the impact of the system's implementation on daily business activities. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with MSME actors, and supporting documentation, and this research was conducted in Junti Village in July 2025. The results revealed that some MSMEs that have adopted QRIS experienced benefits in the form of ease in conducting transactions, increased efficiency, and a more professional business image. These findings also confirm that the use of QRIS contributes to the acceleration of digital transformation in the MSME sector, although not yet fully optimal. The main obstacles encountered were limited access and the quality of internet infrastructure, which is still uneven, making it difficult for some business actors to utilize QRIS optimally. Based on these results, the study recommends the importance of increasing the intensity of socialization and training on QRIS use, as well as the need for ongoing support from local governments and financial institutions so that MSMEs can adapt more quickly and comprehensively to changes in digital technology, so that MSME digital transformation can take place effectively, inclusively, and sustainably. This study recommends the need for increased socialization, training, and support from financial institutions and local governments to encourage sustainable digital transformation of MSMEs.

This community service activity was carried out with the primary objective of improving the Qur'an reading skills of the women of the Majelis Taklim (Islamic study group) through systematically designed intensive training. Reading the Qur'an properly and correctly is an obligation for every Muslim, but in reality, many people, especially the women of the Majelis Taklim (Islamic study group), still face obstacles in aspects of makhraj, tajwid, and fluency. This condition encourages the need for a targeted coaching program to improve the quality of Qur'an reading, so that the values ​​of Islamic teachings can be understood and practiced more accurately. The training was held in early July 2025 with a total of 35 participants from the Majelis Taklim (Islamic study group) with diverse reading ability backgrounds. The methods used included lectures, demonstrations, reading practice, individual guidance, and ongoing evaluation at each meeting. This approach was chosen so that participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that can be immediately applied. Evaluation was carried out through observing reading ability, courage to ask questions, and active participation in group exercises. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the participants' Qur'an reading skills, both in terms of letter pronunciation, application of Tajweed rules, and fluency in reading holy verses. The participants' enthusiasm was evident in their eagerness to participate in all sessions, their sincerity in practicing, and their active interaction during the learning process. Furthermore, this activity also fostered new motivation for participants to continue improving their reading quality independently and create a conducive learning environment in the Islamic study groups. Thus, this training proves that the right learning strategy, supported by high motivation from participants, can have a positive and sustainable impact on improving the quality of Quran reading. It is hoped that this type of program can be replicated in other Islamic study groups so that its benefits are even broader for the community.

The background of this research is based on the importance of good management of inactive participant archives to support the smooth running of administrative services, considering that inactive participant archives still have utility value, especially as evidence of claims and participant audits. This research has the objectives of (1) Knowing the principles of organizing inactive participant archives at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun. (2) Knowing the filing/storage system for inactive participant archives at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun. (3) Knowing the role of archivists/archive officers at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun. (4) Knowing the obstacles and solutions carried out in managing inactive participant archives at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, through observation, interview, and documentation study techniques. The results of this study (1) The principle used by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun is a combined principle, because the storage of active archives and inactive archives is carried out separately, active archives are in the membership room while inactive archives are in the archive room. (2) BPJS Ketenagakerjaan applies a numeric system by sorting the Company Registration Number (NPP) from the smallest to the largest so that it is easy to find archives when needed. (3) The role of archivists is very much needed, but in BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun there is a streamlining of the organizational structure resulting in the absence of archivists within it. (4) Archive management is still faced with several obstacles, such as limited storage space, still carried out manually, and a lack of workers with special competencies in the field of archiving. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun Branch has also attempted to overcome these obstacles by digitizing participant archives, although the implementation has not been fully integrated into an adequate electronic archive management system. The conclusion of this study is the need to increase the capacity of human resources in archiving, optimize storage space and facilities, and develop an integrated digital system to achieve more effective and efficient management of inactive membership records.

The purpose of this community service (PkM) is to provide Mindfulness training to ANANDA PAUD teachers in RW.19 to improve their understanding of themselves regarding their physical and psychological well-being. Mindfulness training is a meditation method used to increase empathy both affectively, cognitively, morally, intrapersonally and interpersonally. The many activities and activities of teachers both at school and at home make teachers feel very tired. Teachers often feel dizzy, physically tired and lack focus on the teaching given. To prevent these things from continuing, the PkM team of the psychology faculty provides assistance to teachers by holding Mindfulness training which aims to maintain the mental state of teachers from the pressures that arise both at work and brought from home. The lack of understanding and self-skills possessed by the teachers makes them just resigned in carrying out their daily activities. This input prompted the PkM team to help find solutions for developing the self-skills of ANANDA PAUD teachers through Mindfulness Training. The process involved gathering the teachers in the RT.01 hall and providing them with materials to understand and practice Mindfulness, including lectures, stories, and practical exercises, as well as games and group discussions. The community service team hopes that these teachers will be able to understand the results of the training. This increased understanding of Mindfulness will improve their ability to focus and better understand themselves and their surroundings, enabling them to overcome all the challenges and obstacles that arise in their daily lives.

Pesantren, as an Islamic educational institution that has long been a center of religious learning and character development, has great potential in advancing entrepreneurship based on local wisdom. The role of pesantren is not only limited to teaching religious studies, but also includes coaching students to have economic independence and competitiveness in the midst of the Times. Local wisdom that grows around pesantren can be an important capital in developing businesses that are relevant to the needs of the community. However, optimizing the function of pesantren in producing students who are independent and able to compete still faces various challenges. One of the main obstacles is the development of Human Resources (HR) which is not only oriented to mastering the theory, but also on practical skills and understanding of local values. Without the right strategy, such great potential is difficult to realize sustainably. This study aims to explore strategies that can be applied in the development of human resources in order to improve the performance of local wisdom-based entrepreneurship in the boarding school. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies on several boarding schools that have succeeded in forming productive business units by utilizing local potential, such as agriculture, fisheries, crafts, and food product processing. Research findings indicate that several crucial factors in building entrepreneurial human resources in pesantren include: strengthening character and work ethic, hands-on practice-based training in the field, collaboration with local business actors for knowledge transfer and market networking, as well as historical and philosophical understanding of local wisdom values. The success of entrepreneurship development in pesantren depends on the integration of spiritual aspects, practical skills, and knowledge about the potential of the region. Based on the results of the study, an integrated entrepreneurship training model that combines science, faith, and concrete action is recommended. This Model is expected to produce great pesantren entrepreneurs, competitive, and able to adapt and face global challenges without leaving their identity and noble values.

This research is motivated by the low level of community participation in the process of forming Village Regulations in Sukamantri Village, Ciawi District, Tasikmalaya Regency, which has resulted in less than optimal public involvement in decision-making at the village level. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of community participation in the formation of Village Regulations and to identify inhibiting factors and efforts made by the village government to increase such participation. This study uses a qualitative method with 11 informants consisting of village officials, community leaders, and villagers. Data were collected through literature studies, observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively by processing information from interviews and observations to draw conclusions. The results of the study indicate that community participation in the formation of Village Regulations in Sukamantri Village is still not optimal. The main obstacles faced include limited implementation time which results in some community members being unable to attend official forums, low legal literacy and understanding of the importance of involvement in village policy formulation, ineffective mechanisms for conveying aspirations, and the dominance of certain figures in the decision-making process which limits the representation of all elements of society. To overcome these obstacles, the village government has undertaken various efforts, including expanding outreach through neighborhood associations (RT/RW) and social media, opening additional discussion forums at the hamlet level, and involving various community groups, including women and youth, in village meetings. These efforts are expected to increase community awareness, involvement, and satisfaction with the Village Regulation drafting process, so that in the future, Village Regulation drafting can be more transparent, inclusive, and able to accommodate the aspirations of all levels of society.
