This study aims to analyze the integration of administration, state property management, human resources, and finance in supporting a facilitative immigration system. These four aspects are essential pillars for maintaining efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency in public service delivery within immigration institutions. However, their implementation often operates separately, causing inefficiency and delays in administrative decision-making. Using a descriptive-analytical approach based on literature review and regulatory analysis, this study finds that structured collaboration among administrative units strengthens internal coordination and improves service quality for the public. Administration functions as the foundation for documentation and record management, state property supports operational infrastructure, human resources drive organizational performance, and finance ensures program continuity and budget accountability. The integration of these components creates a more adaptive, transparent, and accountable work system to face global challenges, especially in the era of digital public services. The study recommends implementing an integrated information system, enhancing personnel competencies, and optimizing budget planning and supervision to achieve professional and competitive immigration governance.

Thus, ijtihad is expected to contribute to producing laws that are relevant and responsive to the dynamics of society.  

Social changes driven by globalization and advancements in digital technology have led to a shift in the values surrounding human sexuality, from being sacred to becoming increasingly liberal and permissive. This phenomenon has triggered an identity crisis, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to explore the meaning of self-control as presented in Sirach 5:2 and to evaluate its relevance as an ethical and theological foundation in addressing the contemporary crisis of sexuality. The method employed is a literature study using a qualitative-theological approach and textual analysis of Sacred Scripture. The findings indicate that self-control in Sirach 5:2 is not merely the suppression of desire but an expression of moral and spiritual maturity grounded in wisdom and divine grace. In light of Christian ethics, this virtue shapes responsibility, chastity, and fidelity within human relationships. Thus, self-control becomes a fundamental basis for building personal integrity and a dignified direction of life amidst a permissive cultural current.

Sustainable tourism aims to maximize the potential of travel destinations while maintaining a careful balance between social, economic, and environmental factors, and coastal tourism such as that found at Mutun Beach in Lampung illustrates both the promise and the urgency of this approach. Coastal tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments of the global travel industry, offering visitors natural beauty, recreational activities, and cultural experiences that generate significant income for local economies. In Indonesia, beaches are major attractions that can boost regional development through job creation, small business opportunities, and improved infrastructure. Mutun Beach, a well-known coastal destination on the southern coast of Sumatra, contributes greatly to the Regional Original Income (PAD) of Lampung Province and provides livelihoods for surrounding communities. Yet despite its popularity, the area continues to face persistent problems such as weak administrative management, limited community participation, inadequate facilities, and signs of environmental degradation, all of which threaten its long-term sustainability. This service project therefore focuses on designing a comprehensive plan for sustainable tourism growth at Mutun Beach for the 2025–2030 period. A participatory strategy is employed through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving local government, tourism stakeholders, community members, academics, and potential investors to ensure inclusive decision-making. The resulting five-stage roadmap emphasizes strengthening tourism regulations, constructing eco-friendly infrastructure, empowering residents with training and entrepreneurial opportunities, creating tourism products that highlight environmental and cultural values, and adopting digital marketing to reach broader audiences. Success indicators include increased regional revenue, rising visitor numbers, higher tourist satisfaction, and measurable improvements in coastal environmental health. Implementing this roadmap is urgent because coastal tourism directly supports economic growth, provides steady employment, and safeguards natural resources, ensuring that Mutun Beach remains both competitive and environmentally resilient for generations to come.

This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of three primary organizational structures—functional, product-based, and geographic—in facilitating global marketing strategies. Employing a qualitative methodology through in-depth case studies of six multinational corporations across the technology, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods sectors, the research highlights the nuanced interplay between organizational design and strategic marketing execution. Findings indicate that no single structure universally outperforms the others; rather, effectiveness is contingent upon specific contextual factors such as product complexity, market diversity, and the degree of global integration versus local responsiveness required. Functional structures tend to support centralized control and efficiency, while product-based structures enhance innovation and brand focus. Geographic structures, on the other hand, offer adaptability to regional market dynamics. The study underscores the importance of strategic alignment between organizational form and marketing objectives, suggesting that hybrid or flexible configurations may offer optimal outcomes in dynamic global environments. These insights provide actionable guidance for decision-makers in selecting or adapting organizational structures to better support international marketing efforts. Ultimately, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of how structural choices influence global competitiveness and responsiveness, offering a framework for organizational design that aligns with evolving market demands and strategic priorities.

This study aims to examine how the concept of deliberative democracy is perceived and constructed within the intellectual discourse of Indonesian Muslim scholars. Employing a qualitative approach through literature analysis, data were gathered from academic works, including books, journal articles, and relevant conference proceedings. The analysis was conducted thematically to identify key patterns, categories, and overarching themes. The findings reveal three main points. First, the literature highlights the compatibility between Islam and deliberative democracy through the reinterpretation of shūrā, which is framed as a normative foundation aligned with modern practices of consultation. Second, the study identifies structural and cultural barriers—such as political polarization, elite dominance, and limited public space—that hinder substantive deliberation. Third, it highlights the potential for strengthening deliberative democracy through the integration of Islamic values, particularly by emphasizing maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the ethics of justice, and the recognition of pluralism. In addition, the research introduces new categories, namely ethical deliberation and the rise of digital deliberation, both of which enrich the Indonesian model of deliberative democracy. Ultimately, the study concludes that deliberative democracy grounded in Islamic ethics is not merely a localized adaptation of Western theory but also makes a significant theoretical contribution to the broader development of deliberative democracy in the global context.

Competition in recruiting high-quality talent has intensified due to the advancement of digital technology, globalization, and the shifting preferences of younger generations in choosing their workplace. Traditional recruitment models are no longer sufficient, requiring companies to integrate employer branding with recruitment marketing strategies to attract potential candidates effectively. This study aims to analyze how PT Surya Pratista Hutama (SUPRAMA), a food manufacturing company, implements employer branding to strengthen its corporate image and enhance recruitment effectiveness. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, and documentation studies with the Human Capital and Corporate Communication Division. The findings reveal that SUPRAMA’s employer branding strategy is carried out through organizational culture strengthening, the use of digital platforms, consistent visual identity, and collaboration with educational institutions. The integration of these strategies has proven to increase the number of qualified applicants, improve candidate experience, and enhance the company’s reputation as an employer of choice. However, challenges remain in maintaining consistent branding communication and developing innovative digital content. This study concludes that employer branding is not merely a communication tool but also a long-term investment in human resource management.

This study aims to determine the effect of training and competency development on the improvement of competencies among Papuan students in the YPMAK – Binterbusih Scholarship Program. The research is based on the importance of training and development in preparing high–quality and competitive human resources from Papua. A quantitative research method with a survey approach was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to recipients of the YPMAK – Binterbusih scholarship. The results of the analysis indicate that the training variable has a positive and significant effect on student competency improvement, with a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Likewise, the competency development variable also shows a significant influence with the same level of significance. Simultaneously, the two independent variables contribute 79.3% to the improvement of student competencies, while the remaining 20.7% is influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study.

Therefore, it is recommended that YPMAK continue to enhance structured and sustainable training programs to develop a generation of Papuans who are competent and ready to compete at national and global levels.

Febrile illnesses can be caused by a wide variety of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogenic microbes, and their production originates from outside the body. These substances, known as exogenous pyrogens, can enter the human system through contaminated water, food, or direct human-to-human transmission. Once inside the body, exogenous pyrogens stimulate the immune system by triggering the release of endogenous pyrogens such as cytokines, which in turn act on the hypothalamus to increase body temperature as a defense mechanism. This physiological response, while protective, can also indicate an underlying infection that may need prompt medical treatment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, the number of fever cases worldwide reached approximately 11–20 million people annually, with an estimated 128,000–161,000 deaths each year due to complications from febrile illnesses (Meirita et al., 2024). The global burden of fever varies by region; for example, in the United States, South America, and Western Europe, the incidence of fever is estimated to reach 4–5% of the population. In contrast, several Asian countries report higher prevalence rates, such as Japan with 6–9%, India with 5–10%, and Guam with 14% (Ulum et al., 2024). These statistics highlight the ongoing public health challenge posed by febrile illnesses, emphasizing the need for improved surveillance, prevention strategies, and treatment protocols worldwide.

Low English proficiency remains a problem for the younger generation in Mimika Regency, particularly in speaking skills. Additionally, the flow of modernization influences the low appreciation of society, especially the younger generation, towards local culture, with the emergence of popular culture. This community service activity offers an English Storytelling Competition as a creative and innovative educational medium to integrate English competency and the preservation of the local culture of indigenous communities in Mimika Regency. This program used a collaborative approach/community-based participatory approach (CBPA) through community involvement in the planning, script preparation, workshops, competitions, and reflection stages, together with the utilization of existing local strengths and wisdom. The main purpose of this program is to encourage social change in the community, which includes: (1) increasing oral English skills in the young generation in Mimika. (2) the presence of awareness and pride in the importance of preserving local culture, and (3) the creation of a community environment that provides appreciation for local cultural products that grow together with global challenges. The results of the activity showed an increase in English communication skills, growing self-confidence in students, and the presence of creativity in interestingly packaging Amungme-Kamoro folklore. In addition, this activity brings a new awareness of the importance of preserving local culture, potential leaders who dare to appear in public, and presents a new institution in the form of a space competition that combines aspects of language and cultural education.

This study analyzes the dynamics of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in the Indonesian banking sector by examining both internal and external factors affecting financial stability. The variables included in the research are NPL, Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), lending interest rate, inflation, Household Debt to Income (HDTI), fintech lending, and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). Using annual secondary data from 2005 to 2024, sourced from the World Bank and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the study employs a Vector Autoregression (VAR) method. This method includes stationarity tests, optimal lag selection, cointegration tests, Impulse Response Function (IRF), and Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD). The results show that most variables demonstrate a dominant contribution from their own shocks, although interactions between variables remain significant. The IRF analysis reveals that CAR and HDTI are relatively stable and quickly return to equilibrium, while fintech lending, inflation, and NPLs show more volatile responses, making them more susceptible to external shocks. LDR and lending interest rates are sensitive in the short term but tend to stabilize over the long run. FEVD further indicates that inflation plays a significant role in driving NPL variations, while fintech lending is closely associated with CAR in the long term. The study concludes that the stability of Indonesia’s banking sector is influenced by both internal factors like CAR and LDR, as well as external factors such as inflation, fintech lending, and household debt. Thus, a coordinated approach involving monetary policy, macroprudential measures, and financial supervision is crucial to enhance the resilience of the banking sector against global and domestic economic shifts.

This study aims to analyze the financial risk management strategy of PT. Chandra Asri based on the company's 2024 annual report. As the largest petrochemical company in Indonesia, PT. Chandra Asri faces multiple financial risks including market volatility, credit exposure, liquidity constraints, operational disruptions, and systemic shifts due to global energy transitions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in the ISO 31000 framework, the study examines how the company identifies, assesses, responds to, and monitors each risk category. The findings reveal that while hedging, credit controls, and liquidity management systems are in place, the decline in net income and working capital indicates areas that require stronger adaptation. Additionally, the study highlights the company's strategic shift toward sustainable practices in response to systemic risks. PT. Chandra Asri's integration of sustainability into its risk management strategy showcases a forward-thinking approach, acknowledging the importance of both financial resilience and environmental responsibility. This research contributes to the understanding of risk management practices in the petrochemical sector and provides valuable insights for developing resilient financial strategies amidst global economic uncertainty. It also offers practical recommendations for improving risk management frameworks, ensuring long-term growth and stability in an increasingly volatile global market

In the era of globalization, the widespread use of digital gadgets has significantly influenced students’ daily lives, including their learning processes. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of gadget addiction among students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTS) and to examine its potential impact on their ability to recite the Qur’an. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed to identify the association between gadget addiction and Qur’an reading proficiency. The participants consisted of 122 students selected through convenience sampling from one MTS institution in Cirebon Regency. The instrument for measuring gadget addiction contained 11 items, while the Qur’an reading ability test consisted of 12 items, with a reliability coefficient of 0.593. Data analysis included descriptive statistics to describe the distribution of scores and inferential statistics, specifically the correlation test, to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results revealed that 77% of students experienced a high level of gadget addiction, while 15% demonstrated low levels, and 8% fell into the moderate category. In terms of Qur’an recitation ability, 63% of the students were classified in the low category, 35% in the moderate category, and only 2% in the high category. The correlation analysis produced a coefficient of -0.544**, indicating a moderately strong negative relationship between gadget addiction and Qur’an reading ability (range 0.400–0.599). The two-tailed significance value (p = 0.000 < 0.05) confirmed the statistical significance of this finding. Overall, the study highlights that greater gadget addiction is associated with lower Qur’an reading proficiency, whereas lower levels of gadget use are linked to improved recitation skills. These findings suggest the urgent need for educational interventions and parental guidance to balance gadget usage and ensure the strengthening of Qur’anic literacy among students.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a major tropical commodity in Southeast Asia that plays an important role in the global economy, especially as a raw material for the food, cosmetics, and bioenergy industries. West Kalimantan Province is one of the regions with the largest oil palm plantations in Indonesia, where its area increased from 1,166,282 Ha in 2020 to 1,449,274 Ha in 2022. Landak Regency contributes 119,326 Ha, but its productivity is still relatively low with a total production of 184,592 tons or around 1.54 tons/Ha.

The data analysis technique used in this case study is analysis on multiple linear regression. The results of the study concluded that the productivity of oil palm harvesters in PTPN IV Ngabang averaged 1200,71 kg/day. Simultaneously, age, family dependents, working period, mileage, and education affect the productivity of oil palm harvester labor at PTPN IV Ngabang. Partially, the factor that greatly affects the productivity of the oil palm harvester workforce at PTPN IV Ngabang is the age factor of the worker and working period. Meanwhile, the factors of family dependents, distance traveled and labor education partially did not have a significant effect.

Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases, with a high incidence rate that has become a major global health concern. It is often referred to as a “silent killer” because many patients are unaware of their condition until serious complications arise. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension is relatively high, yet many sufferers remain undiagnosed or do not receive proper medical treatment. Several risk factors contribute to hypertension, including age, heredity, high-salt diet, obesity, lack of physical activity, and unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Without proper management, hypertension may lead to severe complications such as stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Management of hypertension generally involves pharmacological therapy, such as the administration of antihypertensive drugs, as well as non-pharmacological interventions through lifestyle modifications. Nurses play a crucial role in patient education, monitoring, and preventing complications through comprehensive nursing care. The purpose of this study is to describe the nursing care provided to Mr. R, who experienced a cardiovascular system disorder, namely hypertension, in the Dahlia Ward of RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency. The research method used was descriptive with a case study approach, allowing for a systematic and clear presentation of the patient’s condition. The case findings showed that the patient’s main complaint was a headache radiating to the nape of the neck. Based on nursing assessment, two nursing diagnoses were identified: acute pain and lack of knowledge regarding the disease and its management. Interventions were determined using national standards such as SDKI, SLKI, and SIKI, which are expected to reduce symptoms and improve the patient’s understanding of hypertension.

This study examines the influence of globalization on the YOLO (You Only Live Once) culture and hedonistic behavior among students at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta and offers solutions based on Islamic values. Globalization, fueled by technological and social media developments, has accelerated the spread of consumer culture. This encourages students to prioritize immediate pleasure without considering the long-term impact.The research method used was descriptive qualitative, using interviews and literature analysis. The results show that social pressure, the influence of digital trends, and easy access to a consumer lifestyle play a significant role in the rise of hedonistic behavior among students. This phenomenon indicates a shift in mindset that tends to prioritize instant gratification. From an Islamic perspective, this lifestyle is inconsistent with the principle of wasathiyah, or balance, which emphasizes simplicity, responsibility, and a meaningful life orientation. Therefore, the solutions offered include strengthening character education based on Islamic values, developing a da'wah community close to the realities of students, and providing alternative programs that can channel the energies of the younger generation toward productivity and spirituality.Through this approach, students are expected to be able to act more wisely in facing the strong currents of globalization and adopt a balanced lifestyle, not get caught up in hedonism, and still adhere to Islamic teachings
