The village is a government unit that often receives negative opinions from the public. These opinions include the lack of quality human resources, frequent practices of corruption, collusion and nepotism such as extortion, government officials who are often absent from their places and so on. This study is to determine the extent of the commitment of the Bitung Barat Satu village government in creating Good Government in its area and also to determine the impact of Good Government in providing excellent services in the Bitung Barat Satu village. The sample in this thesis is the Village Head and Village Apparatus totaling 32 (thirty-two) people. Sampling in this study was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. By using data collection analysis techniques including observation, questionnaires, interviews and also stechniques. The Bitung Barat Satu village government has a strong commitment in efforts to achieve Good Government in its area. This is inseparable from the role of the Village Head as a leader who reprimands his subordinates if they do not serve the community well. Apart from that, the village officials and neighborhood heads also strive to provide excellent service to the community in accordance with the principles of Good Government.

Insurance is a service designed to prevent or mitigate various potential risks. The Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK) is authorized to resolve consumer disputes through three alternative methods: arbitration, conciliation, and mediation. This study aims to analyze the legal force of mediation outcomes and to identify and examine the obstacles encountered in the implementation of insurance dispute resolution through BPSK mediation. This research employs a normative legal method with a statutory approach through literature review. The analysis is conducted qualitatively based on legal regulations and principles. Data is sourced from primary, secondary, and tertiary materials, and the process consists of three stages: formulation, analysis, and conclusion. The findings indicate that although BPSK’s authority is limited, its decisions are final and binding, and mediation agreements remain legally valid. If no objection is filed, the agreement must be implemented, with criminal consequences for non-compliance. However, the effectiveness of consumer dispute resolution remains hindered by weak legal force, limited regulatory framework, institutional capacity constraints, and potential external intervention.

This study provides a detailed equity analysis of the Deli Serdang Regency local government by evaluating its financial statements from 2020 to 2023 and interpreting results through the lens of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and public sector accounting principles. The analysis examines trends in assets, liabilities, and equity, computes key financial ratios, and discusses implications for fiscal sustainability, transparency, and governance. The study combines quantitative ratio and trend analyses with a qualitative review of notes to the financial statements and a reconciliation exercise mapping local government reporting (SAP/APBD disclosures) to IFRS/IPSAS concepts. Findings (illustrative data) show a positive but modest growth in equity, persistent dependence on intergovernmental transfers, and opportunities to improve asset valuation and liability recognition practices. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for policy-makers and local finance managers and suggests a road map for incremental IFRS-aligned reporting in the local government context.

This study examines Indonesia's national interests in BRICS membership for the national economy in 2023–2024. Indonesia has officially announced its readiness to join BRICS, which emphasizes the principles of free and active participation and a multipolar orientation in the global economy. This study aims to analyze how Indonesia's involvement in economic cooperation forums for developing countries such as BRICS can influence the direction of development and national economic interests, both in terms of opportunities and risks. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach using literature study and interviews. The theories used are Neoliberal Institutionalism, Regional Economic Integration, and National Interest as the basis for explaining Indonesia's involvement in international cooperation. The results show that Indonesia's membership in BRICS has the potential to expand access to development financing through the New Development Bank (NDB), strengthen trade and investment with BRICS member countries, and enhance leading sectors such as the manufacturing industry and agriculture, which have shown significant export increases, especially to BRICS member countries. However, there are risks that must be anticipated, such as the dominance of large countries in BRICS, the potential for new economic dependencies, and geopolitical friction with Western countries. BRICS membership can be an opportunity for Indonesia's national development if managed carefully, selectively, and with a focus on long-term interests.

The formation of manners from an early age is crucial in building children's character with noble morals. Children at the Al-Quran Educational Park (TPA) often face challenges in understanding and applying adab values ​​in everyday life. This service activity aims to implement the Five Basic ABC Media as an intervention effort to increase understanding and application of etiquette among TPA children. This media is based on five main principles: Accept, Belief, Confidentiality, Empathy and Respect. The method used in this service is an interactive learning method involving 12 TPA children as subjects. Intervention is carried out through various educational activities, such as interactive games, manners simulations, discussions that focus on building positive character. The results of this service activity show that the application of the Five Basic ABC Media can provide practical understanding and ethical behavior to children, which is demonstrated through FGD activities. The conclusion from this service activity is that the Five Basic ABC Media is a fairly effective method in guiding TPA children to understand and apply etiquette in everyday life. It is hoped that this media can be a guide for TPA educators in developing character education based on Islamic values ​​in a comprehensive and enjoyable manner

For individuals and legal entities, land registration serves as the sole method to protect land ownership and ensure legal certainty. The foundation of land rights is based on Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Agrarian Principles, which recognizes several types of land rights, including Ownership Rights (Hak Milik), Building Use Rights (Hak Guna Bangunan), Cultivation Rights (Hak Guna Usaha), and Use Rights (Hak Pakai). The primary objective of this Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat or Abdimas) is to educate the public and clarify misinformation circulating on social media. The educational initiative focuses on Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021, which ensures that long-standing land rights can still be registered through the “Recognition of Rights” mechanism. This discussion activity was initiated by the Faculty of Law, Universitas Pancasakti Tegal, which felt compelled to engage with the community in addressing issues related to land ownership and registration. Through this initiative, is hoped that public awareness and understanding of land law can be significantly improved.

Indonesia's rapid population growth, particularly among adolescents, has raised concerns regarding its social and reproductive health implications, including rising rates of unintended pregnancies, premarital sexual activity, and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In response to these issues, the government issued Government Regulation (GR) No. 28 of 2024 as a derivative of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health. One of its provisions regulates the provision of contraceptives for school-aged children and adolescents. This study aims to examine the implications of this provision in relation to religious values, social morality, and the direction of national health policy. The research employs a normative qualitative approach using juridical-philosophical analysis, along with an assessment of public responses, religious leaders’ perspectives, and the views of state institutions regarding the regulation. The findings indicate that Article 103 paragraph (4) letter e has sparked controversy due to the use of the term "provision," which is perceived as ambiguous and contradictory to religious norms particularly Islamic teachings and is viewed as potentially legitimizing premarital sexual behavior among students. These findings highlight the necessity for the government to reassess regulations that conflict with religious and local cultural values. Furthermore, the study advocates for strengthening preventive reproductive health education grounded in religious and moral principles, rather than directly providing contraceptives within school settings.

This study examines the role of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia (Mahkamah Konstitusi/MK) as a positive legislator through the lens of the living constitution approach, which conceptualizes the constitution as a dynamic and evolving document responding to social and political change. The main problem addressed is the extent to which the MK’s judicial activism in interpreting and even creating new legal norms aligns with constitutional principles, democratic legitimacy, and the balance of powers between the judiciary and the legislature. The objective of the research is to analyze how the MK’s progressive interpretations have transformed it from a negative legislator—which merely annuls unconstitutional laws—into a positive legislator that effectively fills legal gaps and constructs new constitutional meanings. Using a normative juridical method combined with case study analysis, this research explores key constitutional decisions, focusing on cases where the MK extended its interpretive authority beyond mere judicial review. The findings reveal that the MK, through the living constitution approach, justifies its role as a positive legislator by invoking principles of constitutional morality, justice, and responsiveness to societal evolution. However, this judicial creativity also generates tension with legislative supremacy and may risk overstepping the boundaries of judicial function. The synthesis of findings suggests that the MK’s transformation embodies the dynamic interplay between constitutional text and social context, reinforcing the adaptability of Indonesian constitutionalism. The study concludes that while the MK’s position as a positive legislator under the living constitution paradigm strengthens constitutional justice and protects citizens’ rights, it must remain anchored in checks and balances to prevent judicial overreach and preserve democratic legitimacy.

Islamic financial institutions have emerged as an alternative within the modern financial system, founded on Islamic values and principles. Their main objective is to realize justice, sustainability, balance, and collective welfare in economic activities. This study aims to provide an in-depth explanation of the Sharia principles underlying the operations of Islamic financial institutions, including the prohibition of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation), as well as the implementation of profit-sharing, justice, transparency, and trustworthiness in all business activities. The research employs a library study method with a qualitative-descriptive approach by analyzing relevant primary and secondary literature sources. The findings indicate that the implementation of Sharia principles not only differentiates Islamic financial institutions from conventional financial systems but also adds significant value through Islamic business ethics, social responsibility, economic sustainability, and protection of customer and community interests. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of Sharia principles is essential to maintaining the integrity, public trust, and long-term sustainability of Islamic financial institutions in today’s era of global economic development.

This study aims to examine the role of implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in supporting the transition toward a green economy in Indonesia from the perspective of Islamic banking. The research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, reviewing academic literature published between 2020 and 2025. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis to identify the alignment between ESG dimensions and maqashid shariah, as well as the challenges and opportunities of ESG implementation within Islamic banking institutions. The findings reveal that ESG application in Islamic banking remains partial, with greater emphasis on the environmental dimension through instruments such as green sukuk and green financing. The social and governance aspects have not yet been fully integrated into sustainability strategies. Nevertheless, integrating ESG with maqashid shariah strengthens the role of Islamic banks as agents of change in sustainable development. The study highlights the importance of establishing specific regulations, transparent reporting systems, and sharia-compliant green financial innovations to enhance the contribution of Islamic banking to Indonesia’s green economy.

Sharia based financial technology (fintech) that integrates educational features and securities crowdfunding is considered a strategic approach to address the low levels of Islamic financial literacy and inclusion in Indonesia. This article aims to examine how the integration of Islamic financial education and the use of sharia-compliant securities crowdfunding platforms can serve as an effective model to enhance public participation especially among MSMEs and younger demographics in the Islamic financial ecosystem. The study employs a literature review and case analysis based on recent scholarly works and industry reports. Findings indicate that fintech platforms equipped with interactive financial education modules and sharia investment simulations can significantly improve public understanding of Islamic financial principles and products. Moreover, sharia-based securities crowdfunding offers participatory investment opportunities while promoting ethical and halal economic activities. Nonetheless, challenges remain in regulatory alignment, sharia compliance verification, and public trust. Therefore, collaboration among regulators, industry players, and educational institutions is essential to foster an inclusive, transparent, and sustainable Islamic fintech ecosystem. This model is expected to be an innovative solution to expand access to Islamic financial services while strengthening public literacy and confidence in Islamic finance.

The Industrial Revolution marked a significant milestone in the transformation of the workplace, creating a need for efficiency and more systematic structures within organizations. This development led to the emergence of various management theories, including Frederick W. Taylor's scientific management theory and Henri Fayol's general administrative theory. This study aims to examine the relationship between the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of these two theories, as well as to examine their relevance and application in the context of modern management. The method used was a descriptive qualitative literature review, reviewing various classical and contemporary literature covering three main topics. The results indicate that Taylor's theory emphasizes work efficiency through standardization and scientific supervision, while Fayol's theory highlights the importance of managerial functions and structured organizational principles. Both responded to managerial challenges during the Industrial Revolution and remain relevant today, particularly in human resource management and organizational structure. The implications of this study demonstrate the need for a historical understanding of classical management theories in order to adapt these principles to address managerial challenges in the digital era and Industry 4.0.

This research uses descriptive qualitative methods to describe and understand Indonesian historical phenomena, especially the values ​​of Pancasila during the Sriwijaya and Majapahit kingdoms. During the Srivijaya kingdom, the values ​​of Pancasila were reflected, such as divinity with harmony between religions, humanity with good relations between Sriwijaya and India, and unity in a wide area. During the Majapahit era, the principles of Pancasila were also reflected, especially in divine and humanitarian values ​​which were reflected in religious tolerance and good international relations. Apart from that, popular principles and social justice are visible through a government system that prioritizes deliberation and the welfare of the people. This research reveals how these principles have become the basis of the Indonesian state which has been reflected since the kingdom era.

Islamic economics is an economic system based on the principles of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, with the aim of providing benefit (maslahah) for humanity. Conceptually, Islamic economics is fixed, but in practice, depending on certain situations and conditions, it may change or be applied more broadly. The main principles of Islamic economics consist of four elements: tawhid (monotheism), balance, freedom of will, and responsibility. Production is not only about creating goods from materials that do not exist, but also about producing goods that are useful and beneficial. The goal of production is to achieve happiness in both the worldly life and the hereafter, based on the principles of maqasid al-shariah. Production must be in accordance with Islamic values, so that it does not conflict with the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth. Production priorities should follow basic needs, secondary needs, and complementary needs, while taking into account justice and social aspects such as zakat and charity. Production must be carried out optimally, and the results should be distributed fairly among owners, managers, administrators, and workers. Factors of production such as natural resources, labor, capital, management, technology, and raw materials are also inseparable from the production process.

The phenomenon of using non-Hajj visas for pilgrimage has deprived many pilgrims of legal protection, with numerous cases of arrests by Saudi authorities resulting in deportation and even a ten-year ban on entering Saudi Arabia. This study adopts a qualitative case study design with an empirical legal research approach. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis at PT Mirbath Tour and Travel Palu. The primary data source was an interview with the Director of PT Mirbath, while secondary sources included the Qur’an, Hadith, legislation, journals, articles, theses, dissertations, and reference books. Data analysis employed reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings highlight three key points. First, PT Mirbath facilitated Hajj departures using multiple-entry visas with significant limitations, such as the absence of tents in Mina and Muzdalifah, restricted access to facilities, and alternative routes from Riyadh to bypass checkpoints. Second, the use of non-Hajj visas indicates that the implementation of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 8 of 2019 on the Administration of Hajj and Umrah has not been effectively enforced, with policy gaps and weak operational oversight remaining apparent. Third, although the contractual arrangements applied appear consistent with the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh muamalah), they conflict with the foundations of sharia economic law, as the use of non-Hajj visas involves elements of gharar (uncertainty), lack of transparency, and contractual objectives inconsistent with maqasid al-shariah.

This article analyzes the fundamental differences between the mechanisms of fund collection and fund distribution in Islamic banks and conventional banks in Indonesia, based on DSN-MUI Fatwas and banking regulations. In general, both types of banks serve the same function—to collect and distribute funds to support economic activities. However, the main distinction lies in their operational principles. Conventional banks operate using a fixed interest system, establishing a creditor–debtor relationship. In contrast, Islamic banks operate based on Sharia principles that prohibit riba (usury). In fund collection, conventional banks use interest-based savings and deposit products, while Islamic banks apply Wadiah (safekeeping) and Mudharabah (profit-sharing investment) contracts. Regarding fund distribution, conventional banks provide interest-bearing loans, whereas Islamic banks offer financing through Sharia contracts such as Murabahah (cost-plus sale), Musyarakah (partnership), Mudharabah (profit-sharing), and Ijarah (leasing), emphasizing cooperation and risk-sharing. Although Islamic banking is regulated under Law No. 21 of 2008 and DSN-MUI Fatwas, it still faces several challenges, including the dominance of Murabahah financing and the low level of public literacy regarding Islamic financial systems.

Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid and dynamic development, especially in the field of Sharia insurance. Sharia insurance has become an increasingly important and strategic sector in the Indonesian financial industry. This significant development is clearly reflected in data showing notable and consistent growth in the contribution of Sharia insurance to the overall insurance industry in the country. Sharia insurance is an economic activity that aims to help (ta'awun) and share risks (sharing of risk) among fellow participants in a mutually beneficial manner. Optimizing Sharia operational systems is a both a concept and practical approach to managing the operations of financial institutions or businesses based on Islamic or Sharia principles. The research method used in this study is a descriptive method based on a qualitative approach. The type of research undertaken is literature research, conducted by utilizing literature (references). This research aims to identify various challenges faced in Sharia insurance operational systems.

Sharia-based Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in supporting national economic growth and developing a competitive halal value chain, yet they still face challenges such as limited digital literacy, restricted access to halal certification, and insufficient marketing strategies aligned with sharia principles. This study aims to analyze the readiness of Sharia MSMEs in utilizing e-commerce platforms as a medium for halal product marketing through a systematic literature review of 50 articles from accredited national journals and reputable international publications. The findings reveal that Sharia MSME readiness is influenced by internal factors, including digital literacy, halal certification, branding strategies, and sharia compliance, as well as external factors such as government policies, digital ecosystem support, and consumer trust. The study highlights the importance of accelerating halal certification, strengthening human resource capacity, and implementing value-based marketing strategies to enhance competitiveness. The implications suggest that synergy among MSMEs, government, and digital platform providers is essential to create an inclusive and sustainable halal ecosystem, enabling Sharia MSMEs to compete effectively in both local and global markets.

The Continental European legal system and the Anglo-Saxon legal system, particularly in the context of jury application, by exploring the philosophical, procedural, and normative implications of each system. The Continental European legal system, rooted in the civil law tradition, emphasizes the codification of laws as the primary source of legal rules, often sidelining the role of juries in the judicial process. On the other hand, the Anglo-Saxon legal system, which adheres to common law, places the role of the jury as a crucial element in determining facts and delivering verdicts in trials. This research utilizes a comparative approach to identify fundamental differences between the two systems, with an emphasis on the role and authority of juries in the context of law enforcement and judicial processes. This analysis includes a study of the role of juries in each legal system, their impact on procedural justice, as well as the shortcomings and advantages that arise from the implementation of both systems in the context of community life. Using a normative qualitative research method, this study concludes that although there are significant differences in the application of the jury system, both systems contribute importantly to the development of justice principles within the broader framework of international justice. This research also presents recommendations regarding the potential integration of positive elements from each system to enrich legal practices in Indonesia.
