This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of technical personnel management in handling main engine failures during extreme weather conditions at sea. The main focus of this study is to assess the extent to which technical competence, communication, coordination, and preparedness of technical personnel contribute to the effectiveness of damage management. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection through a closed-ended questionnaire based on a Likert scale. A total of 100 respondents who are ship engineering officers currently studying at a maritime campus were sampled. The results of the analysis show that the four independent variables (technical competence, communication, coordination, and preparedness) simultaneously have a significant effect on the effectiveness of handling main engine failures. From the results of the multiple linear regression test, the coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.897 indicates that 89.7% of the variation in damage management effectiveness can be explained by these four variables. This finding indicates that good technical personnel management plays a significant role in reducing the risk of engine system failure during extreme weather.

This research examines inter-ethnic marriages between Acehnese and Bugis-Makassar communities in Makassar City from 1990 to 2004, which emerged as a consequence of social mobility, cross-cultural interaction, and compatibility of religious values. The purpose of this study is to explain the factors that trigger inter-ethnic marriages, the underlying customary processes, and the socio-cultural dynamics that occur within family life. This research uses historical methods, including the heuristic stage, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, with data obtained thru in-depth interviews with four families and related documentary sources. The research findings indicate that holding a wedding requires cultural negotiation between the two groups, with some families adopting traditional Acehnese ceremonial customs, while others implement Bugis-Makassar traditions. In family life, couples face differences in values regarding communication, gender role division, and religious practices, which are then overcome thru a dialogue-based process of adaptation and compromise. This process results in the formation of hybrid cultural identities, the expansion of social networks, and the strengthening of inter-ethnic integration. Overall, intertribal marriages serve as a medium for cultural reconciliation and a means of building more inclusive social relationships in a multicultural society.

This study explores the relevance of Imam Al-Ghazali’s educational philosophy to contemporary Islamic education in responding to current moral, social, and educational challenges. Using a library research method, the study systematically examines Al-Ghazali’s views on educational goals, curriculum orientation, the role of teachers, and instructional methods, and then contextualizes these perspectives within the dynamics of modern educational systems. The analysis highlights how Al-Ghazali’s educational thought addresses issues related to moral decline, character formation, and the imbalance between intellectual achievement and ethical development in present-day education. The findings show that Al-Ghazali’s emphasis on integrating knowledge and character, balancing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, and highlighting the teacher’s role as a moral exemplar remains highly applicable today. His educational framework which prioritizes spiritual development, moral formation, self-discipline, and closeness to God offers a strong, comprehensive, and relevant foundation for renewing Islamic education in the modern era and for fostering holistic learners with intellectual competence, ethical awareness, and spiritual integrity.

This study aims to answer two questions. First, why were there only single candidates in 37 regions in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections? Second, what are the risks of single candidates to democracy and the performance of political parties? The methods used are normative juridical methods with a legislative and conceptual approach. The research focuses on the phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections and its impact on democracy and the performance of political parties in Indonesia. The results of this study show that the phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections indicates weak local democracy and poor performance of political parties in carrying out their functions of regeneration and leadership recruitment. Elite domination, high political costs, and the strong influence of oligarchs make the nomination process non-competitive and reduce the space for alternative candidates. As a result, regional elections are only procedural without substance, widening the democratic deficit and opening space for local bossism and unhealthy power consolidation. If this condition continues, local democracy will move further away from the principles of openness, accountability, and fair competition.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common chronic neuropathy of the upper limb, characterized by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. It typically results from repetitive hand movements or trauma and leads to pain, numbness, and weakness, making it a significant occupational health concern. Increased intracarpal pressure causes venous stasis, edema, and ischemic damage, which slow nerve conduction and are detectable through electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies. Recently, ultrasonographic measurement of the median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) has been proposed as a noninvasive diagnostic option. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-based CSA measurement compared with EDX findings in CTS patients. The research was conducted at Al-Imamain Al-Kadhimain Medical City in Baghdad from November 2024 to March 2025 and included 100 patients (200 hands). All individuals underwent both EDX and high-resolution ultrasonography using a 5–13 MHz linear probe, with CSA calculated by the direct tracing method. CTS was confirmed in 102 hands (51%). Affected hands demonstrated significantly prolonged distal motor and sensory latencies, reduced amplitudes, and lower conduction velocities (p < 0.001). Mean CSA was significantly larger in CTS hands (13.75 ± 3.95 mm²) than in non-CTS hands (10.15 ± 3.33 mm², p < 0.001). ROC analysis produced an AUC of 0.776 and an optimal cutoff of 11.5 mm² (72% sensitivity, 76% specificity). CSA also increased with CTS severity. Moderate accuracy was observed when differentiating mild from moderate CTS at a 12.5 mm² cutoff, and moderate from severe CTS. In conclusion, median nerve CSA measurement by ultrasound is a reliable, noninvasive, and rapid tool for diagnosing and grading CTS, complementing EDX assessment.  

This article thoroughly examines Imam Al-Ghazali's views on Islamic education and adab, with an emphasis on a holistic framework that combines knowledge, faith, charity, and morals to form an insān kāmil (perfect human being).  Al-Ghazali, a scholar from Tus, Persia, in the 11th century, defined education as a process of moral development and purification of the soul. The main goal of education is to obtain worldly and spiritual happiness. He opposes the educational paradigm of modern philosophers which focuses only on rationality. He emphasized that knowledge without adab is like fire which has no light.Adab is the main pillar of the educational process and helps children learn noble qualities such as patience, humility and honesty. This is implemented from an early age through spiritual practices such as dhikr and muhasabah.  In his great works, such as Iḥyā' 'Ulūm ad-Dīn, Ayyuhal Walad, and Tahāfut al-Falāsifah, Al-Ghazali combines rationalism with Sufism. He opposed the dichotomy between worldly knowledge (such as medicine and mathematics) and the hereafter, claiming that revelation provides a balance to prevent misguidance. His educational methods, based on internalizing values, examples, and ethical discussions, support the role of teachers as moral and spiritual role models and students as ethical learners. This thinking is highly relevant to modern education, especially in Indonesia, where a character-based curriculum is implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture and institutions such as the State Islamic University (UIN) use a holistic approach to address the moral crisis caused by technological advancements. The main challenge lies with educators who lack an understanding of Sufism, which requires intensive training.

In the context of modern organizations, performance can no longer be measured solely through short-term target achievements. A strong foundation of quality culture is required to ensure sustainable performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between quality culture and organizational performance sustainability through a modern managerial approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative, employing literature studies and conceptual analysis of theories related to quality management, organizational culture, and performance sustainability. The findings indicate that quality culture holds a strategic role in shaping work behavior, strengthening management systems, and fostering continuous innovation. The application of quality values—such as commitment to continuous improvement, customer orientation, and consistency in process control—contributes to the creation of a productive work environment that is responsive to change. Integrating quality culture into all aspects of the organization also enhances operational efficiency, reinforces teamwork, and promotes data-driven decision-making. These aspects lead to greater performance consistency, improved customer satisfaction, and long-term competitive advantage. Therefore, quality culture does not merely serve as a behavioral guideline but becomes a fundamental pillar in building an adaptive, innovative, and sustainable organization capable of navigating an increasingly complex business environment.

This study aims to thoroughly examine the triadic relationship among the Internalization of Aswaja An-Nahdliyah Values, the Pedagogic Competence of Ustadz/Ustadzah, and the Academic Supervision by the Kyai at the Salafi Sunanul Huda Islamic Boarding School in Sukabumi Regency. The research urgency is based on the vital role of the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) as a fortress of moderate ideology and the existence of a research gap that has not holistically integrated these three variables within the specific Salafi-Nahdliyyah context of the locus. The Aswaja An-Nahdliyah values central to the internalization process include Tawasuth (moderation), Tasamuh (tolerance), I'tidal (justice/firmness), Tawazun (balance), and Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar (enjoining good and forbidding wrong). This internalization is carried out through the formal curriculum (teaching Kitab Kuning using the Sorogan and Bandongan methods) and the non-curricular aspects (Kyai/Ustadz role-modeling and pesantren living values). The study utilizes a qualitative approach with a Case Study design. Data collection employs Method Triangulation involving In-depth Interviews (Kyai, Ustadz, Students), Limited Participatory Observation (learning processes and cultural activities), and Document Study (Lesson Plans, curriculum, and supervision reports). Data analysis employs the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (Data Condensation, Data Display, and Conclusion Drawing). The research findings are expected to formulate the Integrated Model of Triguna Santri in Aswaja An-Nahdliyah Internalization, which synergizes traditional pesantren methods with culture-based quality assurance. Practically, these findings will provide blueprints for quality assurance (Cultural-Authoritative Academic Supervision) and recommendations for pedagogical strategies for Ustadz/Ustadzah to enhance the transfer of values from the cognitive level to the affective and behavioral domains. This model is expected to become a benchmark for developing educator competence and strengthening religious moderation in similar pesantren.

Law Number 51 of 2009 represents a pivotal milestone in strengthening the authority of the Indonesian Administrative Court (PTUN), particularly regarding the executorial aspects of its decisions, which were previously considered weak and insufficient in providing adequate legal protection for the public. This study aims to examine and analyze the executorial power of PTUN decisions following the enactment of the regulation, with a focus on the effectiveness of decision enforcement, the obstacles encountered, and the implications for governance based on the principles of the rule of law. Employing a normative juridical approach supported by analyses of literature, legislation, and selected court decisions, this research demonstrates that Law 51/2009 has brought significant progress, especially through provisions requiring administrative officials to comply with court rulings, the introduction of administrative sanctions, and the application of dwangsom as a coercive measure. However, its effectiveness remains suboptimal due to several persistent challenges, including weak oversight of officials who fail to implement decisions, the limited application of sanctions in practice, and a bureaucratic culture that tends to be unresponsive to judicial authority. Additionally, disharmony among sectoral regulations and insufficient inter-agency coordination further hinder the executorial function of PTUN.

Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails that is often found in tropical climates such as Indonesia, including Jambi City, which has high humidity and community habits that can support fungal growth. This study aims to describe the demographic characteristics of dermatophytosis patients who received treatment at a private dermatologist and venereologist in Jambi City throughout 2023. This study used a descriptive design using secondary data from patient medical records. A total of 399 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed univariately and the results are presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The results showed that tinea corporis was the most common type of dermatophytosis, followed by tinea cruris and tinea capitis. The majority of patients were male, aged 17–25 years, had a high school education, and worked as students. The most common locations of lesions were on the trunk and groin. These findings suggest that the productive age group is more susceptible to dermatophytosis, possibly related to high physical activity, excessive sweating, and suboptimal personal hygiene. This research is expected to be the basis for planning health education regarding the prevention of fungal infections and improving clean and healthy living behavior in the community.

In this article, we explore the concept and goals of Islamic education from the perspective of Imam Shafi'i, a great scholar and founder of one of the most important schools of Islamic jurisprudence in history. Based on the Quran and Sunnah, his views offer a balanced perspective on the intellectual and spiritual aspects of the educational profession. He believed that education aims not only to increase one's knowledge but also to develop one's character, morality, and devotion to Allah SWT. He emphasized that true knowledge is knowledge that benefits individuals and society and helps them draw closer to the Creator. According to Imam Shafi'i, Islamic education must combine religious and general knowledge in a balanced way, as both complement each other to shape the whole person. He believed that an educated person must possess not only intellectual intelligence but also high moral and spiritual integrity. He emphasized that academic success is measured not only by a student's ability to understand the subject matter but also by how they apply ethical principles, social responsibility, and a sense of community service. Furthermore, Imam Shafi'i emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between cognitive, emotional, and intellectual abilities during the pursuit of knowledge. He argued that knowledge without morality loses its foundation, while morality without knowledge loses its foundation. This concept presents Islamic teachings holistically, where knowledge, ethics, and spirituality must be integrated.Imam Syafi'i's views remain relevant today. They can serve as a guide in building a character-based Islamic education system capable of adapting to changing times and addressing global challenges. The education he taught, which encompasses values ​​such as honesty, responsibility, and balance between this world and the hereafter, provides a clear path to producing a generation of educated and noble Muslims who will contribute positively to the world and humanity as a whole.

The flash floods and landslides that occurred in Central Aceh and Bener Meriah Regencies demonstrate that disaster issues are not only related to natural factors but are also influenced by community social communication patterns. This study aims to analyze disaster communication based on local wisdom to improve preparedness, emergency response, and recovery of disaster-affected communities. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, religious leaders, village officials, and affected communities, as well as field observations and documentation studies. The results indicate that the local wisdom of the Gayo community, such as the role of the village reje, mosque imam, customary deliberations, and the value of maintaining natural balance, serves as an effective and trusted disaster communication medium. However, this local wisdom has not been optimally integrated into the formal disaster communication system of the local government. This study recommends strengthening the synergy between modern communication and local wisdom as a sustainable and contextual disaster communication strategy.

The rapid development of information technology has encouraged various educational institutions, including non-formal education providers, to utilize digital media as an effective means of information dissemination and communication with the wider community. Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPQ) Jabal Annur, located in Tambun Selatan, Bekasi Regency, still experiences limitations in delivering information to the public due to the absence of a website-based information medium. Currently, information related to the institutional profile, learning activities, schedules, and official announcements is conveyed through conventional methods, which are less effective and have limited reach. Therefore, this community service activity aims to assist TPQ Jabal Annur in developing a simple, functional, and accessible information website using HTML and CSS, as well as deploying it through the GitHub Pages platform. The implementation method consists of several stages, including initial observation to identify partner needs, website interface and content design, website development, and implementation and deployment. The result of this activity is an official TPQ website that can be accessed online and functions as a centralized information medium for students, parents, and the surrounding community. The availability of this website is expected to enhance the effectiveness, accuracy, and accessibility of information delivery, as well as to support the digital transformation process in non-formal religious education institutions in adapting to the demands of the digital era.

This study aims to describe relevant digital marketing strategies to improve the competitiveness of the Rafika Dompo Banana MSME in Soguo Village, Bolaang Uki District, South Bolaang Mongondow Regency, and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing these strategies. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews with the owner, employees, and consumers, and documentation. The data analysis technique used a narrative inquiry model. The results of the study indicate that the digital marketing implementation of the Rafika Dompo Pisang MSME is still at a basic stage, utilizing WhatsApp and Facebook organically with simple content managed directly by the owner. Limited digital knowledge, minimal paid promotion budget, and suboptimal utilization of marketplace platforms are the main obstacles. Nevertheless, promotion through social media has been proven to increase product visibility and reach consumers. Supporting factors include maintained product quality, government support for licensing, and consignment collaboration. Consumer perception of the product is very positive, and existing digital promotions are considered to assist in purchasing decisions. In conclusion, the implemented digital marketing strategy is still simple but has a positive impact. Increasing competitiveness requires strategy optimization through increased digital literacy, platform diversification, and more planned resource allocation.

This study aims to explore the role of digital storytelling (DST) as a 21st-century learning strategy in strengthening character education. The rapid development of digital technology and the growing emphasis on student-centered learning have made DST a relevant pedagogical approach that integrates creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication with values-based education. Using a simple systematic literature review (SLR) approach, this study analyzed eight peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2024, obtained from international academic databases Scopus. Thematic content analysis was used to synthesize findings and map the contribution of DST to 21st-century learning competencies and character development. The results identified eight key themes: increased student engagement, improved collaboration and communication, enhanced critical thinking and decision-making, creativity and multimodal expression, self-reflection and identity building, empathy and social awareness, interdisciplinary and authentic learning, and the formation of moral values. These findings support constructivist and experiential learning theories and suggest that DST not only enhances cognitive skills but also facilitates affective and ethical development. The study concludes that DST can be a transformative instructional tool in modern education. Practical implications include integrating DST into curricula across disciplines and levels, and equipping educators with training in digital pedagogy and reflective teaching design. Further research is recommended to explore DST implementation in primary and secondary schools and to evaluate its impact using mixed methods.

Strengthening 21st century character and skill education is an important demand in today's learning transformation. Game-Based Learning (GBL)-based approaches such as Ludo are believed to present a learning process that is meaningful, fun, while forming positive values. This study aims to review and compare the results of previous studies on the application of GBL in the development of character and skills in the 21st century, especially in Arabic language learning. The method used is a simple systematic literature review of 12 scientific articles published in 2015–2025 obtained from selected scientific databases. The analysis was conducted based on three main dimensions: the game medium, the focus of learning (characters, 4Cs, vocabulary), and the method approach. The results of the study show that GBL is generally effective in improving vocabulary mastery and fostering collaboration, communication, and character values of students. Ludo media in particular has proven to be relevant as a means of value-based learning and interaction. However, studies that explicitly integrate Ludo-based GBL in Arabic language learning are still limited. This research is expected to be a conceptual basis for the development of innovative learning media that is integrative and in accordance with the challenges of 21st century education.

This classroom action research (CAR) aims to improve students’ English-speaking skills in formal communication contexts. The study focuses on second-semester students of the Business and Professional Communication Study Program at Politeknik Negeri Madiun in the 2024/2025 academic year. The main problem addressed is the students’ low ability to speak English formally and fluently. The objective is to determine whether watching YouTube videos can enhance students’ formal speaking performance. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were obtained from students’ performance scores before and during the implementation, while quantitative data were gathered through observations, questionnaires, and interviews to compare pre-test and post-test results. The intervention used several active viewing techniques, including active viewing, freeze framing and prediction, silent viewing, and reproduction activity. The findings indicate a consistent improvement in students’ speaking abilities across all research cycles. The average scores increased from 61.1 in the pre-test, to 63.6 in post-test Cycle I, 66.6 in Cycle II, and 70.0 in Cycle III. These results demonstrate that integrating YouTube videos with active viewing techniques effectively enhances students’ formal speaking competence. In conclusion, the use of interactive video-based learning can significantly support the development of English-speaking skills in formal contexts for vocational students.
