In inheritance law, the Qur’an typically stipulates a 2:1 distribution, where men receive two parts and women one. This division is often justified by the idea that men are responsible for earning a living, with women not typically involved in financial support. However, feminist exegete Amina Wadud argues that this distribution is not based on justice. She emphasizes that the primary consideration in inheritance should be the benefits the heirs will receive, rather than gender. This study aims to analyze inheritance distribution in Qs. al-Nisā’ verses 11-12 from Amina Wadud's feminist perspective, specifically her critique of the 2:1 ratio. The study is a qualitative library research study titled "Inheritance in the Review of Justice and Benefit Perspective Amina Wadud." The primary source is Wadud's book Women in the Qur'an and the Qur'an According to Women, with secondary sources drawn from related articles and journals. The findings indicate that while the Qur'an generally assigns men a larger share, inheritance is not always distributed in a 2:1 ratio. The division varies depending on factors such as family relationships, with sometimes equal shares (1:1) or a different distribution (1:2), prioritizing justice and the benefits of the heirs.

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.

Education plays a crucial role in improving human resource quality, yet academic procrastination remains a challenge, as seen in students at SMK Mekar Murni who tend to delay assignments, show a decline in academic performance, and struggle with time management. This community service program aims to enhance students' time management skills through delivering materials and discussions with 25 students from 11th and 12th grades in a participatory manner. The method used is a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test–post-test, employing a quantitative approach. Evaluation was carried out using a Time Management instrument consisting of three indicators: long-term time orientation, schedule management, and daily time management. The results show an average pre-test score of 48.00 (Standard Deviation = 4.99) with the majority of students in the moderate category. After the intervention, the post-test score increased to 83.4 (Standard Deviation = 7.37). The proportion of low category students increased from 4% to 68%, moderate category decreased from 56% to 24%, and high category increased from 40% to 8%. These findings indicate that time management training can reduce academic procrastination by enhancing students' understanding of effective time management.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of assistance for issuing Business Identification Numbers (NIB) for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sukodadi District, Lamongan Regency. This assistance program is a government effort to support MSMEs in obtaining business legality regulated through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies related to program implementation. The results show that NIB assistance has a positive impact on MSMEs' understanding and awareness of the importance of business legality, which was previously neglected. However, there are several obstacles in its implementation, including limited digital literacy among MSMEs and limited internet access in some areas, which hinder the NIB registration process through the OSS system. Furthermore, although assistance has been provided by local governments and related agencies, it is necessary to increase the frequency and quality of assistance to make the NIB registration process easier and more efficient for MSMEs. Therefore, a more intensive mentoring policy based on technology empowerment is urgently needed to support the sustainability of business legality among MSMEs in Sukodadi District.

It is expected that the knowledge gained will influence their future decisions as professionals in the mining sector, promoting a more sustainable and responsible industry.

This study aims to analyze efforts to empower the village economy through the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) based on sustainable agriculture in Kudadepa Village, Sukahening District, Tasikmalaya Regency. The background of this study is the low added value of village agricultural products that have so far relied on traditional distribution systems, so that farmers tend to sell products to collectors at less profitable prices. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a field study approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research participants included agricultural MSMEs, village officials, and local consumers. The results show that strengthening the capacity of MSMEs can be done through three main strategies: improving managerial and technical skills for business actors, product innovation based on organic and environmentally friendly agriculture, and developing a broader digital marketing network. In addition, support from the village government and related institutions plays a crucial role in providing access to capital, business mentoring, and facilitating ongoing training. The conclusion of this study confirms that the development of sustainable agricultural MSMEs not only increases community income but also encourages village economic independence and environmental sustainability. Thus, the MSME-based empowerment model can be an effective strategy in building an inclusive and competitive rural economy.

Gotong royong, or mutual cooperation, is a deeply rooted local cultural value in Indonesian society that plays a strategic role in strengthening social cohesion and promoting environmental consciousness. This study aims to explore and analyze the function of gotong royong in fostering social solidarity and raising community awareness of environmental sustainability through various communal activities. These activities include neighborhood cleaning, reforestation efforts, and participatory waste management, all of which require active involvement from community members. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research was conducted through field observations and in-depth interviews with residents actively engaged in gotong royong practices. The findings reveal that gotong royong serves as a powerful social mechanism that encourages a sense of togetherness, mutual aid, and shared responsibility among community members. These interactions help to solidify social bonds and create a collective spirit that is vital for social resilience. In addition to reinforcing social relationships, the practice of gotong royong significantly contributes to enhancing environmental awareness. Communities become more proactive in maintaining cleanliness, preserving green spaces, planting trees, and managing waste sustainably. The study concludes that gotong royong is not merely a traditional cultural practice, but also an effective and relevant instrument for promoting social and environmental well-being in contemporary society. Its continued integration into community development programs could further strengthen both social solidarity and environmental stewardship, making it a vital component in sustainable development initiatives. Therefore, revitalizing and institutionalizing gotong royong is essential for fostering holistic and inclusive community growth.

Violence against children in the school environment is a serious problem that requires special attention.

Through counseling methods, interactive discussions, and documentation, the research team successfully involved 50 students, 3 teachers, and 7 parents in the activity held on February 24, 2025. The results showed a significant increase in participants' awareness of children's rights and steps to prevent violence. Students became more active in participating in discussions and more courageous in reporting cases of violence they experienced or witnessed. However, challenges such as concerns about social stigma are still barriers that need to be overcome. This activity emphasized the importance of collaboration between schools, parents and communities to create a safe and supportive environment for children's development. Thus, this counseling not only provides knowledge but also builds children's confidence in dealing with potential violence at school.

Acne vulgaris is one of the most prevalent dermatological disorders in Indonesia, often affecting adolescents and young adults. This condition not only causes visible skin lesions but also has a profound impact on psychological well-being, leading to decreased confidence and reduced quality of life. Effective management of acne vulgaris requires consistent use of prescribed medications, with doxycycline being one of the commonly recommended systemic antibiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the level of patient adherence to doxycycline therapy for acne vulgaris at Roels Clinic, Ponorogo, during the period of March to April 2025, and to identify factors that may influence this adherence. A descriptive research design was utilized, employing a structured questionnaire distributed to patients who met specific inclusion criteria. The adherence level was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale, and the average percentage was computed and classified into compliance categories. The findings revealed that among 50 respondents, 70.6% demonstrated a “fairly high” level of adherence to doxycycline treatment. These results suggest that most patients follow the prescribed regimen appropriately. High adherence is expected to improve therapeutic outcomes, accelerate recovery, and minimize the potential for antibiotic resistance, which remains a growing concern in dermatological and public health settings.

The findings reveal that the identification of HiPos is carried out through a rigorous and consistent process using the 9-box grid as a key assessment tool. The emphasis on consistency in evaluation highlights the organization’s effort to ensure fairness and accuracy. Employee development is facilitated through multiple strategies, including formal training, mentoring programs, job rotation, and other structured learning initiatives. Retention strategies focus on providing competitive compensation packages, developing financial literacy skills, and fostering a collaborative organizational culture that values employee contributions. The implementation of TMS at PT. Surya Pratista Hutama has shown positive impacts, particularly in reducing employee turnover rates and improving leadership performance. However, the study also identifies several challenges, especially related to the need for clearer procedural guidelines and more specific development strategies to optimize outcomes. Overall, this research demonstrates that a well-structured TMS can serve as an effective mechanism for building sustainable human resource capabilities in highly competitive industries such as food manufacturing.

Semarang City has experienced significant growth over the past five years (2020 – 2025). Rapid urban development has been positively correlated with increasing environmental burdens, particularly in solid waste generation. In Indonesia, the largest portion of municipal waste consists of food waste, followed by plastic waste. Among these, plastic waste is the most difficult to manage. It is estimated that around 70% of Indonesian households still burn their waste as a means of disposal. The burning of waste, especially plastics, releases toxic emissions such as dioxins, furans, and fine particulates, which pose serious health risks, particularly to the respiratory system. This practice not only worsens air quality but also threatens public health. This community service program focused on providing education about the thermal properties of waste and the negative impacts of plastic burning on both the environment and human health. The program aimed to improve public knowledge of the thermal characteristics of various types of waste and the hazards of plastic burning through accessible scientific outreach. The initiative is expected to raise awareness and understanding of environmentally friendly waste management alternatives such as waste separation, composting, and recycling. The activity was conducted in RW 01, Tugurejo Village, Tugu District, Semarang City.

This research explores the application of literary formulas in Brandon Sanderson’s novel Mistborn: The Final Empire. The research aims to identify the specific narrative formulas employed within the novel’s structure and to map the pattern by which these formulas are integrated to create its compelling narrative. Using a qualitative approach, the study applies Cawelti’s literary formulas and Vogler’s stages of the journey to analyze key scenes, dialogues, passages, and plot events. Data collection involved close reading and detailed note-taking. The findings show that Mistborn integrates three formulas: adventure, mystery, and romance, into the narrative. By mapping the protagonist’s journey onto Vogler’s twelve stages, the study shows a clear pattern where the adventure formula drives the main plot, the mystery intellectually engages the reader, and the romance provides emotional depth. These findings help explain the narrative appeal of the novel and offer a useful framework for understanding how fantasy stories are structurally composed. The study demonstrates how traditional storytelling formulas can be used to create rich and engaging narratives in modern fantasy literature.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder caused by the pancreas failing to produce insulin hormone adequately. Based on the cause, diabetes mellitus is classified into three types, including type 1 DM, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia can also occur due to food consumed that is not balanced with physical activity carried out so that fat accumulates in the body and causes blood to be unable to enter the body's cells, ultimately increasing blood sugar levels. Signs and symptoms that often appear in Diabetes Mellitus patients are polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (frequent urination due to excessive urine production), polyphagia (quickly feeling hungry even though you eat a lot and want to eat continuously) and weight loss without a clear cause. Symptoms of diabetes mellitus can be controlled by increasing physical activity, following a healthy diet, and getting enough rest. Several studies have proven that bay leaves have the potential as an antidiabetic. This study aims to determine the content of secondary metabolic compounds and the antidiabetic activity of bay leaf extract using α-amylase enzyme inhibition in vitro. This research method uses laboratory experiments. This study uses α-amylase enzyme inhibition to determine the antidiabetic activity contained in bay leaf extract. The method used is DNSA. The results of this study obtained a yield of bay leaf extract of 30%, water content of simplicia of 6.24%, drying loss of simplicia of 5.3%, ash content test of 5.6%, water content test of extract of 6.34%, drying loss test of extract of 7.03%. Bay leaf extract positively contains secondary metabolite compounds, namely saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The results of IC50 in bay leaf extract of 66.705 ppm are classified as strong antidiabetic. The results of acarbose of 56.818 ppm are classified as strong antidiabetic.
