This research was conducted to systematically examine scientific evidence regarding the mechanisms and synergistic impacts of PGPR and intercropping on Water Use Efficiency (WUE) and Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) in drylands. The method used was a systematic literature study with a search for peer-reviewed articles and strict selection of research evaluating WUE and NUE parameters in intercropped crops and crops inoculated with PGPR. The results showed that intercropping systems can increase soil water retention, improve microclimate conditions, and optimize the utilization of space and nutrients between plant species. PGPR contributes to improving plant growth through nitrogen fixation mechanisms, phosphate dissolution, phytohormone production, and strengthening tolerance to drought stress. The synergy between these two approaches enhances the plant's ability to utilize water and nutrients more efficiently, thereby implying an increase in productivity and sustainability of dryland agricultural systems. These findings emphasize the need for verification through field trials, development of adaptive local PGPR isolates, and institutional and policy support to expand the application of this technology to drylands.

PT Salam Pacific Indonesia Lines Medan branch is a large-scale domestic shipping company that provides logistics and sea transportation services, particularly inter-island container shipping throughout Indonesia. This paper discusses how efficiency is applied to direct container activities at the Medan branch. The work stages begin with the accurate identification of tentative cargo. Direct officers first obtain data on the number of containers from the depot head, including the prefix, condition (grade), and size of the containers to be processed. After that, officers check the completeness of documents and conduct physical checks in accordance with company operational regulations. If all requirements are met, containers are directed for direct shipping based on Customer requests and the tentative ship loading schedule that has been set. Next, officers issue an SP2 or Container Delivery Letter as a requirement for entering the port gate. With this flow, the process can support the efficiency of the container cycle in the empty container handling system. However, obstacles are still found, such as complex administrative processes, missing documents, and information that has not been communicated properly. Therefore, intensive coordination with the authorities is needed so that direct activities run smoothly. This paper uses field observation and literature study methods to obtain relevant data.

N the rapidly evolving digital era, decision-making has become a critical aspect across various fields, including education, where choices such as selecting an Islamic boarding school (pondok pesantren) are often influenced by complex and subjective factors. This study addresses the dilemma faced by Diyah, a junior high school student, in determining the best reasons for choosing Pondok Pesantren Darularafah Raya, highlighting the limitations of manual, personal-based processes that fail to systematically consider measurable criteria like educational quality, learning environment, facilities, discipline, and instilled religious values. The advancement of information technology provides a solution through Decision Support Systems (DSS), utilizing the ORESTE (Organization, Rangement Et Synthèse De Données Relationnelles) method, which effectively processes ordinal data to produce objective rankings based on subjective yet structured preferences. Unlike other methods such as SAW or AHP that rely on numerical data, ORESTE emphasizes relative preference weights, making it suitable for individual decision-making contexts like educational choices. The novelty of this research lies in applying ORESTE in a DSS focused on analyzing an individual's best reasons for selecting a pesantren, aiming to reduce subjective bias and enhance rationality. The primary objective is to develop a DSS using the ORESTE method to analyze and determine Diyah's optimal reasons for choosing the pesantren. Through this, the system is expected to accelerate evaluation processes, improve objectivity, and identify dominant factors influencing educational decisions. Findings from the implementation demonstrate accurate rankings that prioritize key criteria, leading to more efficient and data-driven outcomes. Implications include aiding students, schools, and educators in understanding influential factors, fostering objective assessment systems, and serving as a reference for future studies integrating MCDM methods with computer-based systems in personalized educational decision-making.

Human mobility between countries has become an inevitable phenomenon in an increasingly open era of globalization. One of the tangible consequences of this mobility is the increasing number of mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals. Although mixed marriages are a great way to interact across the globe, they often cause difficult legal problems, especially regarding the citizenship status of children born from these marriages. Children may be at risk of statelessness, or without citizenship, if the legal systems and principles between countries differ. This contradicts the principle of protection of human rights in international law. The purpose of this study is to examine the regulation of citizenship for children born to mixed marriages from an international law perspective. In addition, this study also investigates its relationship with Indonesian national law, particularly Law No. 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia and other related legal instruments. To gain a better understanding of the compatibility between national legal practices and international standards, a legislative, case, and comparative approach was used in this study. The results of the study show that, although Indonesia has adopted several principles of international law to prevent loss of citizenship and grant limited dual citizenship recognition to children born of mixed marriages, there is still a gap between the normative and its implementation. This discrepancy can lead to legal uncertainty and reduce the protection of children's rights. In conclusion, this study emphasizes that national and international law in the field of citizenship must be harmonized to build a legal system that is responsive, fair, and in line with global societal progress, as well as to protect children's rights at the international level.

Illegal mining activities in Sebulu District have become a serious issue as they not only violate the law but also cause significant damage to public infrastructure such as village roads, bridges, and drainage systems, which are deteriorating due to heavy trucks transporting mining materials. Although Article 158 of Law Number 3 of 2020 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining stipulates strict sanctions, law enforcement remains weak. The main contributing factors are local community involvement, inadequate supervision by authorities, and social legitimacy that perceives mining as a normal activity. This study aims to analyze criminal liability for illegal mining offenders and to identify its social and environmental impacts in Sebulu District. The research applies a socio-legal approach that combines normative and empirical methods. The normative approach examines applicable legal provisions, while the empirical approach includes field observations, interviews with local officials and residents, and documentation of relevant regulations and events. The findings indicate that the most severe impacts are the deterioration of village roads and bridges and environmental degradation, such as changes in water color in nearby drainage channels. These conditions cause public concern and disrupt daily life. Weak law enforcement allows illegal mining to persist. Therefore, synergy among law enforcers, local government, and communities is needed to strengthen regulation enforcement and develop sustainable economic alternatives.

This study examines the intellectual contributions of Ibn Sina (980–1037 AD) to the development of Islamic philosophy and modern science.

This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach, focusing on primary and secondary sources related to Ibn Sina's works and their historical impact. The results of this study show that Ibn Sina's works, particularly Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb and Al-Syifa, have not only been the main references in the fields of medicine and philosophy for centuries, but also laid the foundation for the development of modern science. The implication of this research is that Ibn Sina's intellectual legacy remains relevant in today's academic discourse, emphasizing the importance of integrating philosophy, science, and religion in building human civilization.

This study explores the intellectual and thematic evolution of green sukuk research within Islamic sustainable finance from 2015 to 2025. Using a hybrid methodological design that integrates the PRISMA-guided Systematic Literature Review with Watase Uake network analysis, the study identifies 17 core Scopus-indexed articles that collectively define the field’s conceptual and empirical development. Results reveal a three-phase evolution: (1) a formative stage emphasizing ethical legitimacy and Sharia compliance; (2) a transitional phase integrating pricing efficiency, market risk, and policy frameworks; and (3) a maturity phase characterized by econometric modeling, behavioral-finance integration, and sustainability governance. Thematic clusters extracted from bibliometric mapping include financial performance and market dynamics, institutional legitimacy and policy frameworks, behavioral intention and investor psychology, and technological innovation and ESG disclosure. Despite methodological advancement, the literature remains geographically concentrated in Malaysia and Indonesia and exhibits theoretical fragmentation across behavioral, financial, and institutional models. Findings highlight key research gaps involving contradictory evidence on yield–risk relationships, inconsistent behavioral determinants of investment intention, and insufficient integration of moderating or mediating mechanisms. The study advances theoretical pluralism by connecting the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Institutional and Legitimacy Theory, and Resource-Based View (RBV) into an integrated model explaining how legitimacy, behavior, and strategic capability jointly drive green sukuk adoption. Policy implications emphasize the need for harmonized regulation, behavioral incentives, and digital transparency to strengthen credibility and accelerate sustainable-finance transformation in line with SDGs 7 and 13.

The 2024 simultaneous regional elections reaffirm the persistent underrepresentation of women in local politics, despite a gradual rise in female political participation. Amid the dominance of patriarchal political structures, the victory of Dilla Hich as Regent of Tanjung Jabung Timur emerges as a significant phenomenon that reflects a shift in local electoral dynamics while opening broader opportunities for women’s political representation. This study aims to analyze the political strategies employed by Dilla Hich and examine how her identity and social positioning as a woman contributed to her electoral success. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation from official sources. The findings indicate that Dilla Hich’s success was not solely rooted in her social capital and extensive political networks but also in the adaptive combination of offensive and defensive political strategies she implemented. Offensive strategies were reflected in the expansion of new voter bases and the strengthening of her personal image, while defensive strategies focused on maintaining loyal supporters and consolidating internal networks. Additionally, the strategic use of gender identity enhanced public acceptance of her leadership. This study concludes that Dilla Hich’s victory demonstrates how structured, inclusive, and adaptive political strategies can challenge patriarchal dominance and create greater opportunities for women in local electoral politics.
