The Merdeka Curriculum policy, initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), marks a significant paradigm shift in the Indonesian educational landscape. This curriculum emphasizes student-centered learning, flexibility, and the development of competencies according to students' interests and talents. This study aims to critically analyze the relevance of the philosophy of progressivism, pioneered by John Dewey, as a conceptual foundation for the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Using a systematic literature review method on 15 Sinta indexed scientific journals (minimum Sinta 4) published between 2018-2024, this study examines the alignment between the core principles of progressivism such as experience as the basis of learning (learning by doing), the teacher's role as a facilitator, problem-solving, and democratic education and the essence of the Merdeka Curriculum policy. The analysis reveals a strong alignment between the two concepts. Project-based learning, content differentiation, and formative assessment within the Merdeka Curriculum are concrete manifestations of progressive ideas. However, this study also identifies implementation challenges, such as teacher readiness, school culture transformation, and resource availability, which can hinder the internalization of this philosophy at the practical level. It is concluded that a deep understanding of the philosophy of progressivism by stakeholders, especially educational managers and teachers, is crucial to ensure that the Merdeka Curriculum becomes not just an administrative change, but also a substantive and sustainable pedagogical transformation.

Modern education often falls short in nurturing character, as it tends to prioritize cognitive achievement over holistic development producing students who excel academically but lack independence, creativity, and moral strength. This study seeks to explore the concept of Tarbiyah Based on Khudi (Ego/Selfhood) inspired by Muhammad Iqbal, positioning it as a philosophical and pedagogical framework to address the current character crisis and cultivate Independent and Creative individuals toward the realization of Insan Kamil (the Perfect Human). Employing a qualitative method through a library research approach, this study conceptually examines the three fundamental pillars of Khudi development: Obedience (Ita’at)/Discipline, Self-Mastery (Dabt-i-Zabt)/Self-Control, and Vicegerency (Niyabat-i-Ilahiyyah)/Creativity. The findings indicate that Khudi-based Tarbiyah serves as an effective integrative framework. Genuine independence arises from self-control, fostering responsible freedom and autonomy, while creativity embodies the essence of vicegerency through a continuous spirit of Ijtihad that drives social innovation and civilizational progress. Ultimately, Khudi ensures spiritual independence and moral vitality. The study recommends adopting progressive and dynamic learning models such as project-based learning aligned with the Khudi philosophy to integrate affective and psychomotor dimensions into Indonesia’s character education.

Digital transformation has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of public service delivery worldwide, with e-government emerging as a critical mechanism for enhancing government efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of e-government implementation in Indonesia, examining the trajectory of digital transformation in public services, the institutional frameworks supporting this transition, and the multifaceted impacts on service quality and governance outcomes. Through systematic literature review and critical policy analysis, this research explores the evolution of Indonesia's e-government initiatives from early adoption to current comprehensive digital service platforms, investigating both successes and persistent challenges. The findings reveal that Indonesia has made substantial progress in developing e-government infrastructure and applications across national and local government levels, with notable achievements including integrated digital identity systems, online business licensing platforms, and citizen complaint management systems. These initiatives have demonstrably improved service accessibility, reduced processing times, minimized corruption opportunities, and enhanced government responsiveness. However, implementation remains uneven across regions and government institutions, constrained by factors including digital infrastructure disparities, limited digital literacy among citizens and officials, organizational resistance to change, inadequate interoperability between systems, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The research identifies critical success factors for effective e-government implementation including strong leadership commitment, adequate resource allocation, comprehensive capacity building programs, citizen-centric design principles, robust legal frameworks, and collaborative partnerships between government, private sector, and civil society.

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders in the elderly, characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, chronic pain, joint stiffness, and reduced functional capacity. In Indonesia, the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is notably high, affecting over 30% of individuals aged above 60 years. This condition leads to significant health burdens, impaired quality of life, and increased economic costs. Non-pharmacological management strategies such as hydrotherapy and quadriceps exercise are widely recommended to relieve pain and improve joint function. Hydrotherapy utilizes the physical properties of water including buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, viscosity, and warmth to reduce joint loading, enhance circulation, and promote relaxation. Quadriceps exercise, on the other hand, focuses on strengthening the quadriceps muscle to stabilize the knee joint, thereby reducing pain and improving functionality. The combination of these two interventions is expected to provide greater benefits than a single modality. Research Design: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post test approach on 12 elderly respondents with knee osteoarthritis at OSF Magdalena Daemen BSB Convent. Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after the intervention, which consisted of hydrotherapy and quadriceps exercise administered twice a week for four weeks. Results: The findings showed a decrease in the mean pain score from 4.42 to 3.08, with the Wilcoxon test yielding p = 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in pain levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The combination of hydrotherapy and quadriceps exercise is effective in reducing pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

This study aims to apply a simple experimental approach titled “Balloon Expands Without Being Blown” to enhance fifth-grade students’ understanding of gas concepts in science learning at MI Malik Ibrahim. The study originates from the observation that students often struggle to grasp the concepts of gases and acid–base reactions, which are typically taught in a purely theoretical manner without engaging hands-on experiences. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design following Kurt Lewin’s model, which includes four interconnected stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants consisted of 22 fifth-grade students from MI Malik Ibrahim. The findings reveal a substantial improvement in both learning achievement and classroom participation after the experimental activity was introduced. Students’ average scores increased from 62 to 85, with 82% showing measurable progress. Furthermore, inquiry and discussion activities became more frequent, and most students could correctly explain the formation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas. Overall, the results suggest that the balloon expands without being blown experiment effectively fosters scientific conceptual understanding, promotes active engagement, and stimulates motivation toward learning science.

This study explores the urgency of enacting a specific Electronic Waste Management Law in Indonesia as a legal foundation to support the achievement of net zero emissions. Using a normative juridical approach, the research analyzes existing legal shortcomings, the application of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle, and comparative insights from international e-waste regulatory frameworks. The findings indicate that current environmental regulations, such as Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management and Government Regulation No. 101 of 2014 on Hazardous Waste Management, do not explicitly regulate electronic waste. As a result, e-waste management remains fragmented and largely handled by the informal sector without adequate supervision or accountability mechanisms. Therefore, the establishment of a comprehensive E-Waste Law is crucial to enhance Indonesia’s legal structure, substantive norms, and legal culture in supporting a sustainable circular economy. Through the implementation of EPR and shared responsibility among producers, consumers, and government institutions, the law can function as a strategic tool to minimize electronic waste generation, improve recycling efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions. Such legal innovation would reinforce Indonesia’s environmental governance and accelerate progress toward its national goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2060.

This qualitative library research aims to analyze the pedagogical structure of the adapted "An-Nashor" textbook, focusing on the gradation, selection, presentation, and repetition of its Nahwu and Shorof (Arabic grammar and morphology) materials. The study was motivated by a identified research gap: despite its widespread use, there has been a lack of in-depth analysis of the textbook's pedagogical claims, particularly its systematic organization of complex grammatical concepts. Using content analysis, with the digital and print versions of the "An-Nashor" textbook as the primary data source and 15 supporting journal articles and academic publications as secondary data, this research evaluates the material against principles of learning evaluation and Arabic language material development. The findings confirm that the textbook's content is organized in a systematic and gradual sequence, progressing from fundamental rules (qawa'id) to advanced discussions across nine thematic conversation groups. The study's novelty lies in its comprehensive examination of material gradation in an adaptive Arabic textbook, contributing to the theory of Arabic learning media development by demonstrating the effective implementation of pedagogical principles in a digital format. These results provide a crucial foundation for creating more structured and effective Arabic teaching materials.

This study analyzes the implementation of Income Tax Article 21 (PPh 21) before and after changes in the Average Effective Rate (TER) and Progressive Rate based on Government Regulation (PP) No. 58 of 2023 on permanent employees of PT Federal International Finance (FIFGROUP) Lampung Branch. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the conformity of the calculation and reporting of PPh 21 with the latest regulations and to identify the impact of changes in rates on employee tax obligations. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach with primary data (interviews and observations) and secondary data (financial documents, tax regulations, and internal company reports). Comparative analysis reveals that the use of TER tends to result in higher monthly tax burdens compared to annual progressive calculations, especially in the Non-Taxable Income (PTKP) K/3 and TK/3 categories. This finding indicates the need for adjustments to the payroll system to minimize tax differences and improve the accuracy of deductions. Keywords: Article 21 Income Tax; Calculation of Article 21 Income Tax with TER and Progressive rates; PP No. 58 of 2023.

Fournier gangrene (FG) is a progressive and life-threatening necrotising fasciitis that affects the perineum, perianal region, and external genitalia. FG is a rare condition with a high mortality rate, which is significantly influenced by comorbidities such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, which acts as a major predisposing factor. Early diagnosis and aggressive management, particularly surgical debridement, are key to improving patient outcomes. This study is a case report aimed at describing the clinical findings, management, and final outcome in one patient diagnosed with Fournier gangrene. Data were collected from the patient's medical records after obtaining consent. A 52-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled DM presented with complaints of pain radiating from the scrotum to the lower abdomen and perineum, scrotal swelling, and fever, which developed over 5 days. A urological physical examination revealed scrotal oedema, crepitus, and necrotic skin accompanied by foul-smelling discharge. Laboratory results showed leukocytosis and hyperglycemia. The patient was diagnosed with Fournier gangrene and immediately underwent necrotomy debridement. Pharmacological management included aggressive fluid resuscitation, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and supportive therapy. The diagnosis of Fournier gangrene was established based on clinical findings of skin necrosis, crepitus, and severe pain in the genital/perineal area with uncontrolled DM as a predisposing factor. Rapid and integrated management, including aggressive surgical debridement, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and fluid resuscitation, is fundamental to successful treatment. The patient in this case report showed improvement and was discharged after 8 days of treatment.

The globalization era presents considerable challenges to the development of Islamic identity among university students. Technological progress, intercultural interaction, and exposure to various ideologies significantly affect students’ values and moral orientations. This study aims to analyze the Aqidah Akhlak paradigm as a framework for reinforcing students’ Islamic identity within the global context. This research applies a qualitative method through library research by examining classical and contemporary Islamic educational literature as well as relevant scholarly works. The findings demonstrate that the Aqidah Akhlak paradigm, which combines solid theological belief (aqidah) with moral character development (akhlak), plays an essential role in cultivating spiritual strength, ethical consciousness, and social responsibility. The reinforcement of Islamic identity is not limited to religious rituals, but also includes the internalization of faith-based values and the consistent application of moral principles in academic and social environments. Therefore, a contextual and integrated approach to Aqidah Akhlak education is necessary to develop intellectually competent and ethically grounded Muslim students in the era of globalization.

The Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in Tanjung Pinang, established in 2008 along with the Sabang, Karimun, and Bintan zones under Government Regulation No. 41 of 2021, offers several strategic advantages. Its presence provides attractive opportunities for investors through various incentives designed to stimulate regional economic growth. The FTZ concept encourages export-oriented foreign investment and relies on strong infrastructure development to ensure that investors receive efficient and reliable services. Tax exemptions also serve as a major incentive, motivating investors to allocate their capital and thereby contributing to economic expansion. Investment activities play an essential role in accelerating national economic development and supporting both political and economic sovereignty. Through increased investment, a country can better utilize its economic potential and transform it into real economic strength, using both domestic and foreign capital. This allows developing regions to progress toward achieving levels of economic advancement comparable to more developed areas. Ports are a key element in attracting investors, as they help reduce export-related costs, especially taxes that are often relatively high. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Based on policy indicators, the establishment of the Bintan FTZ has not yet been fully effective, as many areas within the region still require further development.

This Community Service Program (PkM) arises from the significant challenges faced by Vocational High School (SMK) students in adapting to the rapid progression of the digital era and the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI). In an environment flooded with online information, many students tend to accept and share digital content without adequately verifying its validity, leaving them susceptible to misinformation, deceptive media, and inaccurate data. Ethical risks linked to AI misuse have also surfaced, including plagiarism through automated text-generation tools, excessive reliance on chatbots without ethical consideration, and potential privacy breaches due to limited awareness of technological vulnerabilities. To respond to these issues, the PkM program adopts an educational strategy focused on critical digital literacy training and mentoring tailored for SMK students. The initiative highlights the importance of critical thinking in evaluating and validating digital information, while simultaneously promoting ethical responsibility in using AI. Through workshops, case-based simulations, group discussions, and practical content analysis, students learn to recognize digital manipulation and reflect on the social implications of AI. Expected outcomes include increased ethical digital awareness, the development of a sustainable training module, academic publications, and long-term collaboration between schools and universities, ultimately preparing students to be competent, ethical, and responsible digital citizens.

Furthermore, digital transformation and inclusive economic policies are shown to strengthen food supply chains and ensure equitable access to resources. The discussion emphasizes the interdependence between economic sustainability, social equity, and environmental stewardship as pillars of hunger reduction. The study concludes by proposing a policy framework that aligns national development strategies with sustainable agricultural innovation and resilience-based economic systems. This framework is expected to guide policymakers in strengthening Indonesia’s.

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the urgency of employing a contextual approach to the Qur’an and Sunnah as a hermeneutical framework for addressing the increasingly complex social problems in Indonesia. Based on the premise that divine revelation encompasses both textual and contextual dimensions, this research underscores the necessity of reinterpreting Islamic teachings by considering the sociocultural, economic, and intellectual transformations of modern society. Utilizing library research and extensive scholarly literature review, the study examines the contributions of the contextual approach in revitalizing maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, advancing social exegesis, promoting productive zakat models, strengthening child protection policies, developing environmental jurisprudence, and enhancing social ijtihād during crisis situations such as the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings demonstrate that a contextual approach enables Islamic teachings to be articulated into more adaptive, inclusive, and progressive ethical principles without compromising their theological foundations. This approach also reinforces the integration of social sciences into Islamic studies, thereby producing legal formulations and public policies that promote public welfare, social justice, and ecological sustainability. Overall, the study concludes that the contextual approach is not merely a method of interpretation but a civilizational paradigm essential for shaping Islam’s relevance within Indonesia’s multicultural society. By fostering a dialogical encounter between scriptural texts and empirical realities, this approach preserves the vitality of Islamic teachings while ensuring their constructive and sustainable contribution to resolving national issues.
