This article examines the relationship between Islam and the local traditions of the Minangkabau community in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The focus covers three main issues: the historical process of Islamization, the philosophy of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (ABS-SBK), and the coexistence of the matrilineal kinship system with Islamic inheritance law. Using a qualitative approach through systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journals published between 2020 and 2025, the study synthesizes findings from multiple academic sources. The results reveal that Islam entered Minangkabau gradually through trade and the surau educational institution, rather than through forced conversion. The resulting ABS-SBK philosophy meaning customary law is grounded in Islamic law, which is grounded in the Quran serves as a comprehensive life guide integrating religious norms with adat practices. The matrilineal inheritance system (pusaka tinggi) coexists with Islamic inheritance law (faraid) through a functional distinction: communal ancestral property follows adat, while individually acquired property follows Islamic law. Contemporary challenges such as globalization, urbanization, and weakened institutional roles of adat leaders threaten the vitality of ABS-SBK, though cultural revitalization efforts show promising resilience. This study concludes that Minangkabau represents a unique model of Islam-culture integration in the Indonesian archipelago.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has driven significant transformation in hospital management, particularly in operational efficiency, service quality, and patient safety. This study aims to analyze the implementation of AI in hospital management based on recent scientific evidence from 2020 to 2026. The method used was a systematic review guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework. Literature was retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Google Scholar, and ProQuest. From 360 identified articles, a stepwise selection process was conducted, resulting in 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that AI contributes to improved operational efficiency through patient flow optimization, operating room management, workforce scheduling, and electronic medical record management. AI also enhances service quality through predictive data analytics and supports patient safety through risk detection and early warning systems. In conclusion, AI has strong strategic potential to support modern hospital management. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, including human resource readiness, data security, algorithmic bias, system interoperability, and investment requirements. Therefore, AI implementation should be carried out in a planned, ethical manner and evaluated from a health economics perspective.

This research was conducted to examine the implementation of the Accurate system in recording cement purchase transactions at PT. XYZ and to evaluate its effectiveness in supporting the company's operational activities. A qualitative approach was employed, emphasizing the analysis of descriptive data in the form of words and documents. The study was carried out using a case study method to obtain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon being investigated. During the internship period, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation techniques. Research shows that the Accurate system helps companies record purchases in a more organised, faster and more accurate way than the manual method using Microsoft Excel. The Accurate system can automatically record purchase invoices, business debts, suppliers and the inventory of goods. This makes the accounting department more efficient. Accurate helps to reduce the risk of recording errors and makes it easier to find transaction data. However, when it is being used, there are still several problems, such as delays in entering transaction data, mistakes when entering names or account numbers, and being unable to change invoices after a certain amount of time. To get around these problems, the company checks the transaction data again and makes sure that the recording process is more consistent. Research results show that the Accurate system is effective in PT. XYZ can help make sure that the process of recording cement purchases is effective and efficient. It can also help make sure that financial information is more accurate and joined up.

This study examines the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles as a sustainability instrument for consumer cooperatives from the perspective of Islamic economics. Consumer cooperatives, as people-based economic institutions, face significant challenges in maintaining sustainability amid rapid economic transformation and increasing demands for corporate accountability. ESG, as a global framework for measuring sustainability performance, is considered relevant to the values of Islamic economics which emphasize justice, transparency, social benefit, and environmental responsibility. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature study and document analysis to formulate a conceptual model of ESG implementation in consumer cooperatives based on Islamic economic principles. The findings show that ESG dimensions are in line with maqashid al-syariah, namely the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Environmental aspects correlate with the stewardship principle of khalifah fil ardh, while social aspects align with the concept of takaful ijtima’i, and governance reflects the values of amanah and shura. This study offers a conceptual framework for integrating ESG within the cooperative institutional governance system as a strategic step toward sustainable and equitable economic development.

This study aims to examine the cyber policies implemented by the Indonesian government in light of the impact of digital technology developments on the younger generation, with a view toward achieving inclusive and youth-friendly governance. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using a critical discourse analysis approach based on van Dijk’s perspective. The research was conducted in three stages: data collection, data analysis, and presentation of results. The data source for this study is Law No. 1 of 2024. The data consists of structured documents collected using the read, observe, and record technique. The results indicate that the cyber policies in Law No. 1 of 2024 mark a shift from a reactive to a proactive approach by prioritizing child protection. This policy expands the scope of protection to include personal data, privacy, and child safety in the digital space, while also affirming the responsibilities of Electronic System Operators. The research findings are expected to enrich understanding of the importance of a policy communication model that is creative, transparent, participatory, and responsive in fostering literacy and critical awareness regarding the use of information technology. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to supporting the realization of a more inclusive digital space governance that is youth-friendly and aligned with the strengthening of moral values and social ethics in community life.  

This study examines the transformation of the authority of Islamic courts in Indonesia across the colonial and post-colonial periods and their contribution to the formation of national law. Employing a normative-juridical method with historical, statutory, and conceptual approaches drawn from library sources, the research traces how a once-autonomous Islamic judicial institution was reshaped by Dutch colonial legal politics, from the recognition implied by the receptio in complexu theory to the systematic reduction of competence under the receptie theory through Staatsblad 1882 No. 152 and Staatsblad 1937 No. 116 and 610. The findings show that the colonial intervention narrowed the jurisdiction of religious courts, particularly by removing inheritance disputes, yet did not extinguish their existence. After independence, the receptie exit and receptie a contrario theories provided the ideological basis for restoring Islamic judicial authority, institutionalized through the establishment of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Law No. 14 of 1970, Law No. 1 of 1974, Law No. 7 of 1989, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and Law No. 3 of 2006. The study implies that the religious court has become an integral pillar of the national judicial system rather than a colonial remnant.  

The Society 5.0 era brings major changes in various aspects of life, including the economic and financial systems. The integration of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and Financial Technology (Fintech) has created both opportunities and challenges for the development of the sharia economy. This article aims to: (1) analyze the challenges of the sharia economy in the Society 5.0 era, (2) identify opportunities that can be utilized to strengthen the sharia economy, and (3) formulate strategies for strengthening the sharia economy based on digital transformation and the maqashid sharia. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature study (library research) by analyzing various journals, books, reports of sharia financial institutions, and relevant official documents. The results show that the sharia economy faces challenges in the form of low sharia financial literacy, limited human resources, unequal access to technology, and regulations that are not yet fully adaptive to digital developments. However, Society 5.0 also opens up significant opportunities through the development of Islamic Fintech, the digitalization of the halal industry, the optimization of digital zakat and waqf, and the strengthening of Islamic financial inclusion. Therefore, strategies to strengthen the Islamic economy need to be implemented through increasing Islamic digital literacy, developing an Islamic Fintech ecosystem, strengthening Governance based on the principles of Islamic principles (maqasid) and synergy between the government, academia, industry, and the community.

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the way organizations conduct business activities and manage human resources. These changes require organizations to have employees who are not only competent but also possess a high level of employee engagement to adapt effectively to the dynamic work environment. This study aims to analyze the role of transformational leadership in enhancing employee engagement among employees of Ranch Market in the digital era. Transformational leadership is regarded as a leadership style that inspires, motivates, and encourages employees to develop their potential through a clear vision, effective communication, and individualized consideration. This research employed a quantitative approach by collecting data through questionnaires distributed to Ranch Market employees. Data analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between transformational leadership dimensions and employee engagement, which includes vigor, dedication, and employee involvement in their work. The findings indicate that transformational leadership plays a positive and significant role in improving employee engagement. Leaders who are able to inspire, build trust, encourage innovation, and support employee development have been proven to strengthen employees’ attachment to the organization. Furthermore, transformational leadership fosters a supportive and adaptive work environment, enabling employees to respond effectively to technological changes and evolving work systems. The results suggest that the implementation of transformational leadership can serve as an effective strategy for organizations in addressing the challenges of the digital era while promoting productivity, employee commitment, and sustainable organizational performance. Therefore, transformational leadership remains a crucial factor in maintaining a highly engaged workforce and achieving long-term competitive advantage.

Changes in work patterns driven by digital technology development and post-pandemic dynamics have encouraged organizations to implement Work From Home (WFH) as an alternative working system. This policy has attracted considerable attention because it affects employee productivity and well-being, which are essential for organizational performance. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the effectiveness of WFH. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of WFH on employee productivity and well-being. A qualitative approach was employee using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing 19 scientific articles related to productivity, job satisfaction, work-life balance, and mental health. The findings show that 89,5% of articles reported positive effects of WFH through greater flexibility, work comfort, time efficiency, and improved work-life balance, wich contribute to higher productivity and well-being. Meanwhile, 10,5% identified negative effects due to inadequate work facilities, internet disruptions, burnout, and coordination difficulties. These findings indicate that WFH effectiveness is influenced by technological support, job characteristics, and organizational culture. The study implies that organizations should adopt adaptive work policies, strengthen digital infrastructure, and provide mental health support to optimize employee productivity and well-being.

This research documents and analyzes the variations of banana (gedhang) names in the Southern Brebes dialect of the Javanese language from a sociolinguistic viewpoint. The study explores how language reflects social and cultural realities within a local community. Indonesia’s vast cultural and linguistic diversity makes the study of regional registers essential for understanding how people use language to represent their environment. The Southern Brebes area shows a wide range of banana varieties, each identified by distinct local names that convey information about their physical traits, uses, and cultural significance. These linguistic variations also have educational potential, particularly as supplementary materials for courses such as Pharmaceutical Botany. The research further examines social, cultural, and environmental factors shaping the creation and usage of these names. Findings are expected to enhance understanding of the Javanese lexical system especially the Southern Brebes dialect and to highlight the deep connection between language, culture, and identity. Ultimately, this study contributes to the preservation of local linguistic and cultural heritage.

Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of health service quality in the National Health Insurance era. Outpatient services for BPJS members still face problems regarding waiting time, communication, and facilities. This study aimed to analyze factors affecting BPJS patient satisfaction with outpatient service quality at Malahayati Islamic Hospital Medan in 2026. A cross-sectional analytic design was applied to 150 respondents selected through consecutive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire (r>0.361; α=0.876) and analyzed by Chi-square and multiple logistic regression. Results showed that waiting time (p<0.001), staff competence (p<0.001), staff attitude (p<0.001), drug availability (p=0.032), facility comfort (p<0.001), administrative ease (p=0.003), and information clarity (p=0.008) were significantly associated with satisfaction. Multivariate analysis revealed waiting time as the most dominant factor (OR=5.42; 95% CI: 2.31–12.71), followed by staff competence (OR=4.18), facility comfort (OR=2.87), and staff attitude (OR=2.42), with Nagelkerke R²=0.512. Hospital management should optimize service flow and adopt digital queuing systems to enhance patient satisfaction.

Pressure sensitive labels (PSLs) made of polyethylene (PE) white are widely used in the packaging industry due to their flexibility, moisture resistance, and ease of application on various substrates. This study aimed to examine the effect of glossy and matte lamination on the tensile strength and color difference (ΔE) of PE white PSLs. An experimental method was employed, with tensile testing conducted using a universal testing machine (UTM) in accordance with ASTM standards and color measurement performed using a spectrodensitometer based on the CIE Lab system. The samples were divided into three treatment groups, namely no lamination, glossy lamination, and matte lamination, with ink coverage controlled at two design conditions, full ink and minim ink. The results indicated that lamination type significantly affected both the mechanical and visual characteristics of the labels. In the tensile strength test, the highest mean value was obtained by one treatment group, indicating superior resistance to tensile loading. In terms of color stability, higher ΔE values indicated greater color change and lower lightfastness, whereas lower ΔE values reflected better color retention. Overall, the findings show that the combination of lamination type and ink coverage influences the performance of PE white PSLs in both mechanical strength and color stability.

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) has become an essential part of digital transformation in the healthcare sector, aiming to improve the quality, effectiveness, efficiency, and continuity of healthcare services. In Indonesia, the implementation of EMR is supported by the Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 24 of 2022, which mandates healthcare facilities to adopt electronic medical records. However, the implementation process is often challenged by various technical and non-technical factors that may affect its success. This study aims to analyze the success factors and barriers to EMR implementation in hospitals through a literature review approach. The research method used was a literature review by examining and analyzing 11 scientific articles obtained from Google Scholar and other relevant scientific sources. The findings indicate that the success of EMR implementation is influenced by three main aspects, namely human, organizational, and technological factors. Supporting factors include management commitment, user readiness, continuous training, availability of information technology infrastructure, system quality, and organizational support. Meanwhile, common barriers include limited digital literacy among healthcare workers, insufficient information technology personnel, unstable internet connectivity, system errors, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, budget limitations, and the absence of specific standard operating procedures. Furthermore, EMR implementation provides significant benefits, such as improving service efficiency, facilitating access to patient information, enhancing documentation quality, supporting communication among healthcare professionals, and increasing patient safety. Therefore, successful EMR implementation requires synergy between human resources, organizational readiness, and technological infrastructure to achieve optimal healthcare service delivery.

The development of information technology has brought major changes in government agencies managing data and information, including in the KPKNL office. Asset data management that is still done manually often causes various obstacles, such as recording errors, delays in preparing reports, and difficulties in data validation. These conditions can affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the ongoing administrative process. The development of this system is carried out by designing using UML, designing databases with ERD, and implementing web applications. The main features included in this web system are asset data, activity logs, asset monitoring, and asset reports. This web-based system makes it easier to manage asset data in the office at KPKNL. This improves employee work efficiency, reduces recording errors, and makes it easier for users to access information. With this web application, the asset data collection process runs faster, more integrated, and very well documented.

This study aims to analyze the management of young preacher (dai cilik) training in developing students’ preaching skills at SD IT Al-Washliyah Kelambir Lima Medan using a management function approach (*planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling*). This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The research informants consisted of the principal and teachers responsible for the young preacher training program. The collected data were analyzed systematically to describe the implementation of management functions in the young preacher training activities and their contribution to the development of students’ preaching skills. The results showed that planning was carried out through the development of a practice-based preaching curriculum, organizing was implemented through task allocation and regular scheduling, implementation focused on *public speaking* practice, sermon material preparation, and moral development, while evaluation was conducted periodically through student performance assessments. The implementation of this systematic training management contributed to the improvement of students’ preaching skills in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. These findings indicate that management functions applied in a structured manner play a strategic role in supporting the development of students’ preaching competencies at the elementary school level. Furthermore, continuous training provides opportunities for students to enhance their self-confidence, communication skills, and readiness to effectively deliver Islamic preaching messages

This study aims to examine the implementation of Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards (ISAK) 335 in the financial management of non-profit foundations in Tanah Datar Regency, particularly in Rambatan and Sungai Tarab Districts. The study employed a qualitative case study approach using semi-structured interviews with financial managers from four foundations: Yayasan SLB Az-Zahra, Yayasan Darul Ulum/Darul Hafazah, Yayasan Daarut Tahfidz Al-Sulaiman, and Yayasan Jabal Rahmah. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the level of ISAK 335 implementation and the factors affecting its adoption. The findings reveal that none of the foundations have implemented ISAK 335 in preparing their financial statements. The main obstacles include the limited availability of personnel with accounting expertise, simple bookkeeping practices focused only on cash inflows and outflows, inadequate understanding of accounting standards for non-profit entities, and dependence on a single source of operational funding. Consequently, the financial statements do not comply with applicable accounting standards, resulting in low levels of transparency, accountability, and financial information quality. This study recommends enhancing the capacity of financial managers through training, gradually adopting ISAK 335, utilizing digital bookkeeping systems, and diversifying funding sources to strengthen accountable financial governance and ensure organizational sustainability.

In the digital era, job-seeking mechanisms have evolved through e-recruitment platforms, particularly for Gen Z fresh graduates. However, seamless digital access does not inherently trigger a high intention to apply for jobs, suggesting a complex interplay between internal psychological states and external technical factors. Objective: This investigation empirically examines the extent to which self-efficacy and the effectiveness of e-recruitment systems influence the intention to apply for jobs among Gen Z fresh graduates in Tasikmalaya Regency. Methodology: This study employed an explanatory quantitative approach involving 80 subjects selected via purposive sampling. Data evaluation was conducted through Multiple Linear Regression analysis using SPSS software. Findings: The research data demonstrates that both self-efficacy and digital recruitment systems exert a positive and significant impact on job application intentions, both independently and simultaneously. Furthermore, self-efficacy was identified as a more dominant predictor compared to recruitment technology. An R-Square value of 0.590 indicates that these two variables account for 59% of the variation in job application intentions. Implications: Companies are encouraged to continuously modernize their recruitment infrastructure while considering the psychological readiness of applicants and strengthening corporate branding to attract high-potential new graduates.

This study aims to analyze normatively and juridically whether students in private schools are entitled to free basic education based on the Constitutional Court Decision Number 3/PUU-XXII/2024. Prior to this decision, the phrase “without charging fees” in Article 34 paragraph (2) of Law Number 20 of 2003 on the National Education System was often interpreted narrowly, applying only to public schools. This interpretation created discrimination in access to education for students in private schools, particularly those from low-income families. This research employs a normative juridical method with a statute approach and case approach. Primary legal materials include the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, Law Number 20 of 2003 on the National Education System, and Constitutional Court Decision Number 3/PUU-XXII/2024. Secondary legal materials consist of relevant scholarly literature, books, and journals. The analysis reveals that the Constitutional Court declared Article 34 paragraph (2) of the National Education System Law conditionally unconstitutional. The phrase must be interpreted to mean that the Central and Regional Governments are obliged to guarantee the implementation of compulsory basic education without charging fees, both for educational units organized by the government (public schools) and by the community (private schools). Consequently, students in private schools have the right to obtain free basic education as a constitutional right. Private schools are still permitted to charge fees from financially capable parents, but they are obligated to provide financial relief or full fee waivers for students from economically disadvantaged families. This decision has significant juridical implications for national education financing policy, particularly the need to revise derivative regulations and allocate School Operational Assistance (BOS) and Regional BOS funds to eligible private schools. This study complements previous research, which was largely empirical and regional in scope, by providing a comprehensive national normative juridical analysis.

This study aims to synthesize empirical and theoretical literature on the Planning–Organizing–Actuating–Controlling (POAC) framework in public sector management, identify asymmetries among its functions, and propose a reconfiguration of POAC that is relevant to digital and collaborative governance. The study employs an integrative literature review by examining classical management literature, peer-reviewed journals, government regulations, and official governance indicators. Data were analyzed thematically based on the four POAC functions and synthesized across themes, using Indonesia during the 2021–2025 period as the empirical context. The findings reveal that planning and organizing functions have developed relatively well, while actuating and especially controlling remain persistent weaknesses. This condition is reflected in improvements in several formal governance indicators, including the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) Index, Indonesia’s ranking in the E-Government Development Index (EGDI), Unqualified Audit Opinions (WTP), and public service compliance ratings. However, during the same period, the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) declined. These findings indicate a gap between administrative achievements and substantive outcomes, consistent with the concept of means–ends decoupling in neo-institutional theory. The study contributes by bridging classical management theory with contemporary governance paradigms and proposing a Data-driven, Networked, Adaptive, and Participatory (DNAP) model of POAC. Practically, the results highlight the need to strengthen controlling functions and adaptive leadership to foster more effective, transparent, and outcome-oriented public governance.

A crucial issue currently facing the Church is its stance on building good and harmonious relationships with all other belief systems within its own community. Although dogmatically the Church explicitly expresses its openness to all religious practices and piety lived out by the faithful according to their traditional beliefs, the Church remains cautious so that in building relationships through dialogue, the traditions of the Church are not lost. This paper aims to highlight the relationship between the Catholic faith and the traditional belief system of the Manggarai people in light of the dogmatic constitution Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate is one of the key documents resulting from the Second Vatican Council that addresses the current reality of religious diversity. Through this document, the Church seeks to declare its commitment to reflecting on the fact that all humanity shares a single origin and a single ultimate goal: God Himself. The beliefs or religious system of the Manggarai people is implicitly monotheistic, namely Mori Jari dedek Ema pu’un kuasa. On this basis, the Church sees that the same concept exists in Catholic doctrine. In this study, the author uses qualitative research with a text analysis approach. Text analysis is a methodology in qualitative research that aims to interpret and analyze texts based on their context.
