In the context of modern education, performance assessment is a crucial instrument for measuring the effectiveness of the learning process. Unlike test-based assessments that generally focus on cognitive aspects, performance assessment highlights students' abilities in applying the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they have learned in various real situations. This is very relevant to the multidimensional characteristics of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, including cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes and values), and psychomotor (practice of worship and skills) aspects. This study aims to: 1) To determine the concept and implementation of performance assessment in the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. 2) To identify the types of performance assessments that are relevant and can be applied effectively in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. 3) To examine the effectiveness of implementing performance assessments in improving understanding, practice, and character building. This study uses a qualitative approach with the model used being library research. The results of the study indicate that performance assessment in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning is a form of authentic evaluation that is very important to be applied in the learning process. Unlike traditional assessments, which emphasize cognitive aspects, performance assessments provide balanced attention to cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. These assessments assess not only what students know, but also who they become. Therefore, it is crucial for teachers and educational institutions to optimally integrate performance assessments to shape a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent but also spiritually and socially mature.

One of the main sunnah prayers is the night prayer (Tahajud), because the night prayer is one of the mustajab prayers offered by a servant to the Creator, namely those who can wake up at night and pray at night and then perform the prayer service, because the night is the most appropriate time for someone to pray and munajat to perform prayers at night with the highly recommended prayer, namely the Tahajud prayer. The research method used in this article is a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. This approach is used to examine and analyze various relevant scientific sources regarding the Tahajjud Prayer in a Psychological and Health Perspective. The results of the study show that the Tahajud Prayer has a significant positive impact on psychological and physical health. Psychologically, Tahajud can increase calm, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-confidence and enthusiasm. From a physical health perspective, the Tahajud prayer can help increase endurance, improve blood circulation, and even help overcome digestive disorders.

The study of usury in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) of muamalah maliyah is crucial as it helps determine whether a transaction is permissible in Islamic business and finance. If a transaction involves elements of usury, it is considered prohibited (haram) under Islamic law. This research uses a library research method, analyzing secondary data from books, articles, and journals to review the dangers of riba from an economic perspective. The study reveals that riba occurs in sale and purchase transactions when goods or prices are manipulated, leading to unfair advantages for one party. Riba includes both usury fadl (excessive goods) and nasi'ah (delayed payment) and is prohibited in Islam, as stated in the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Ijma'. Allah's prohibition of usury aims to protect the welfare of society, and violating this law brings harm not only in this world but also in the afterlife. The widespread practice of usury contributes to economic inequality, inflation, economic stagnation, crises, and increasing debt burdens.

This article discusses the concept of acquiring wealth through wrongful means from an Islamic perspective through an interdisciplinary study approach. In Islam, wealth is viewed as a trust that must be acquired and utilized in accordance with sharia provisions, so that any form of acquisition carried out through unlawful means is viewed as an act that damages the public interest and violates religious provisions. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze the forms of acquiring wealth through wrongful means, such as usury, gharar, risywah, tadlis, and maysir, and their impacts on various aspects of life. The analysis is conducted through the perspectives of Islamic law, economics, psychology, and socio-culture. The results of the study indicate that acquiring wealth through wrongful means not only harms individuals but also affects the social, economic, and moral stability of society. In addition, this practice is viewed as a form of deviation from the essential function of wealth in Islam, namely as a means to realize the common good. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing sharia values in economic and social practices as a preventive measure against injustice and injustice in society.

This study aims to analyze the difference in the volume of motorcycle traffic in the morning and evening on Jalan Dahlia which leads from the Square. The data was collected through direct observation methods during a specific period during morning and evening rush hours, then analyzed to determine vehicle flow patterns, traffic density levels, and significant differences between the two time periods. In addition, this study also considers supporting factors such as community activities, working hours, and daily travel patterns of road users that affect traffic intensity. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in vehicle volume, where the volume of motorcycles in the morning tended to be higher than in the afternoon due to the dominance of trips to work and school. On the other hand, in the afternoon the traffic volume is relatively more spread due to variations in the return time of road users. These findings are expected to be a reference for related parties, especially local governments and transportation agencies, in traffic management planning, transportation operational timing, and efforts to improve the safety and comfort of road users in the area.

Indonesia is one of the countries with abundant availability of palm fiber composite, yet its application in advanced material technology remains limited. On the other hand, most motorcycle helmets available in the market are made from ABS plastic, which has limitations in impact energy absorption and may increase the risk of head injuries during accidents. This study aims to develop helmet composites based on palm fiber and epoxy resin by varying the fiber volume fractions (15%, 25%, and 35%) and alkali soaking durations (75, 150, 225, and 300 minutes). The impact strength test results showed that the combination of 35% fiber volume and 225-minute alkali soaking produced the highest specific impact energy (SIP) of 0.142 J/mm². As a comparison, SNI-compliant helmets made from ABS plastic only reached an EPS value of 0.00972 J/mm², indicating that palm fiber-based composite helmets could improve impact energy absorption efficiency by more than 14 times. The results conclude that increasing the fiber volume fraction and optimizing the alkali treatment duration significantly enhances the impact resistance, making ijuk-based composite helmets a promising alternative for safer and more eco-friendly protective gear.

This study aims to analyze production performance and the factors influencing the productivity of mining operations at PT. XYZ during August 2025. The evaluation covers production achievement against the corporate work plan (RKAP) and the owner’s operational plan, equipment availability (Physical Availability), the productivity of loading and hauling units, and various types of loss time that reduce effective working hours. The results indicate that production realization reached only 65% of the RKAP target, while achieving 102% of the owner’s plan for total material. Low equipment availability, high loss time such as no hauler, wait operator, and front preparation, as well as the underperformance of 80-ton and 100-ton units, were identified as the main contributors to production deviation. Additional influencing factors include unit reassignment, suboptimal haul road conditions, and insufficient operational fleet numbers. The study recommends optimizing fleet management, enhancing preventive and predictive maintenance programs, reorganizing hauling workflows, and controlling dominant loss time sources to improve operational efficiency and production target achievement in future periods.

Many used ABS plastic wastes have problems in their management. The aim of this research is to obtain a prediction of the fatigue life of a mixture of ABS plastic and used ABS as an injection molding product. The research method is carried out through the stages of mixing used ABS with a volume of 10%, 20%, and 30% in ABS grade A and grade B; making fatigue test specimen molds according to R. R. Moore standards, injection molding of a mixture of used ABS and ABS grade A and grade B, checking the straightness and smoothness of the specimen surface, fatigue testing with increasing serial loads, analysis and making a graph of bending stress (S) against fatigue life (N) (S-N Curve). The results of the study showed that the addition of used ABS had an effect on the fatigue life of both grade A and grade B of ABS, where the fatigue life of grade A of ABS increased with the addition of the volume percentage from 0% -30% of used ABS with the highest value at the addition of 30%, namely 43698.9 cycles, while in grade B of ABS, the fatigue life decreased with the increase in volume from 0% -30% with the highest fatigue life in grade B of ABS plastic without a mixture or 0%, namely 41377.5 cycles, the implication of which is that the addition of 0% -30% of used ABS in grade A can increase the fatigue life, but grade B of ABS actually decreases its fatigue life.

A decline in performance in automatic motorcycles that have been used for a long time is a common problem caused by wear and tear on the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system. This condition results in a reduction in the clamping force of the V-belt on the pulley, causing slippage and a decrease in transmission capacity. Based on the manufacturer's specifications, the torque is 8.32 Nm at 5500 rpm, while the test results show a torque of 7.41 Nm at 6500 rpm, a decrease of 10.9%. The study aims to analyze the effect of variations in pulley angle and surface roughness on the torque value of a 108 cm³ automatic motorcycle as a method to restore transmission performance without replacing the main components. The pulley angles tested were 14°, 13.8°, and 13.5°, while the surface roughness was varied based on the turning process with cutting inserts having nose radii of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.8 mm. The testing was conducted using a dynamometer at an engine speed range of 6000 – 9000 rpm. The results showed that the combination of a 13.8° pulley angle with a 0.2 mm cutting insert nose radius produced a torque of 7.41 Nm at 6500 rpm, an increase of 8.2% compared to the standard 14.5° configuration, which only produced 6.85 Nm. Modifying the pulley angle and surface roughness was proven to increase the V-belt clamping force, thereby improving transmission performance.  

In the development of a construction project, cost control is very important in the process of managing project costs. Many problems will be encountered in a construction project such as wasteful use of materials, unskilled labor and late completion of the project. This causes waste of costs that do not match the specified budget. In the construction project of the Rectorate of the Sorong City Health Polytechnic building, a budget of Rp. 36,570,996,788.55 is required. This study aims to make savings on previously planned costs, in addition to knowing the comparison of total project costs after analysis. The method used in this study is the Value Engineering method. The Value Engineering method is a method used to identify and eliminate unnecessary activities or reduce costs without reducing function. There are 4 stages of the work plan in this method, namely: Information Stage, Creative Stage, Analysis Stage, and Recommendation Stage. After conducting the Value Engineering analysis, savings of Rp. 654,875,786.25 or 1.79% of the total project cost were obtained. The analysis was conducted on the two highest-cost work items: wall and floor work. For the wall work, it was recommended that the HPL wall covering be replaced with plasterboard, while for the floor work, it was recommended that the 60x60 granite be replaced with 60x60 ceramic tiles.

Denny's house is one of the houses that uses a minimalist architectural concept. The minimalist concept has become a trend in the world of architecture, because of its simple yet effective concept, minimalist design has become one of the most preferred styles by graphic design professionals, architects, and artists (Aliwafa, 2023). The actualization of the Vitruvius architectural concept is based on Vitruvius's theory of Utility (Function Aspect), Firmitas (Strongness and Structure Aspect), and Venustas (Beauty). By comparing Vitruvius's theory with Henry Wotton's Theory, the aim is to actualize the architectural concept in the contemporary design of Denny's house as well as become a case study that can be accepted by the reader's audience. This case study uses descriptive qualitative techniques of data processing that aim to achieve study results on a comprehensive phenomenon. The application of the Vitruvius architectural concept is the focus of discussion in the contemporary design of the facade of Denny's house which becomes a reference for the discussion to examine with an architectural approach. The house becomes the initial locus of discussion by prioritizing the function of beauty, the function of strength or structure, and the function of venustas or beauty. Vitruvius is a theory used to examine the application of design theory by providing a precedent study of Denny's architectural work, which uses a minimalist functionalist theme. This study examines Vitruvius' theory regarding the relevance of design to Denny's home.

The demand for lightweight materials with high mechanical strength has driven the development of aluminum alloys, particularly Al-Mg-Si, through deformation processes such as cold rolling. This study aims to analyze the effect of varying degrees of cold rolling deformation on the grain aspect ratio and macrohardness of homogenized Al-Mg-Si alloys. Deformation was applied at three thickness reduction levels—5%, 10%, and 20%—followed by microstructural characterization using optical microscopy and macrohardness testing in accordance with ASTM E-18 standards. The results show that increasing deformation levels lead to elongated grain morphology, with the grain aspect ratio rising from 1.16 to 2.07 and macrohardness increasing from 46.64 HRE to 62 HRE. The emergence of slip lines and grain flattening indicates the occurrence of intense plastic deformation, while work hardening results from dislocation accumulation that impedes further slip motion. These findings confirm a strong correlation between microstructural evolution and mechanical property enhancement in cold-deformed Al-Mg-Si alloys. This research contributes to the optimization of cold rolling parameters to produce engineering materials with a desirable balance of strength, formability, and fatigue resistance for applications in the mining and heavy manufacturing industries.

Overburden removal is a critical phase in coal mining operations, as it directly affects production continuity and operational efficiency. However, production realization often deviates from the mine plan due to various operational constraints. This study, conducted at Pit K1 Mahakam of PT. Insani Baraperkasa, evaluates the causes of underachievement in overburden stripping targets using the Six Big Losses framework, which classifies inefficiencies into Breakdown Losses, Setup and Adjustment Losses, Idling and Minor Stops, Reduced Speed Losses, Process Defect Losses, and Reduced Yield Losses. The analysis revealed that the dominant losses were Reduced Speed Losses (26%) and Setup and Adjustment Losses (10%), primarily caused by disposal congestion, shift changes, and repairs at the loading and disposal areas. Minor contributions were found from idling (3%), production losses (5%), while breakdown losses showed negligible impact. These factors led to increased standby time and reduced equipment cycle effectiveness. Improvement strategies are recommended through optimized disposal allocation, reduction of waiting time, and stricter control of external operational disruptions to enhance stripping efficiency and achieve production targets.

This study aims to analyze the effect of blasting geometry on drilling and blasting costs in mining operations at PT Unggul Dinamika Utama, Kutai Timur Regency, East Kalimantan Province. The research focuses on comparing two operational areas, namely PIT Tempudo 6 and PIT East, which apply different blasting geometries: a burden of 7 m and spacing of 8 m at PIT Tempudo 6, and a burden of 8 m and spacing of 9 m at PIT East. The research method involved collecting primary data from actual field drilling and blasting activities, as well as secondary data from the company. The parameters analyzed included blasting geometry, explosive consumption, and operational costs of drilling and blasting. The results show that the total drilling cost at PIT Tempudo 6 was Rp. 215,689,696, while at PIT East it was Rp. 162,177,899. The total blasting cost at PIT Tempudo 6 reached Rp. 3,023,066,977.60, while at PIT East it was Rp. 1,780,839,602.80. Thus, the total operational cost of blasting activities at PIT Tempudo 6 amounted to Rp. 3,238,756,673.60, and at PIT East amounted to Rp. 1,943,017,501.80. It can be concluded that differences in blasting geometry significantly affect operational cost efficiency. Larger burden and spacing values lead to more efficient costs by reducing the number of drill holes and explosive consumption per blasted rock volume.

The success of a production process is highly dependent on effective quality control. In this study, the focus is directed toward Pc Slab Type A products manufactured by PT. XYZ, a precast concrete company for highways and building structures. The evaluation emphasizes efforts to reduce chipping defects. Improvement priorities were determined using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method based on the Risk Priority Number (RPN). Root Cause Analysis (RCA) was applied to identify the underlying problems. The analysis revealed that the dominant factor comes from the human aspect, with the highest RPN value of 294, namely the lack of regular supervision. Additional contributing factors include improper mold opening methods (RPN 216), inconsistent worker performance (RPN 175), inter-division transfers (RPN 125), and delayed maintenance schedules (RPN 120). All causes were elaborated using the 5W+1H approach, covering reasons, locations, timing, implementation, and proposed corrective actions.

This research addresses the low student learning outcomes and the lack of facilitation of 4C competencies (Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Creativity) in the Industrial Machine Electrical Systems (SKMI) subject for Grade XI TMI 1 students at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman. The teacher-centered learning approach has led to passive student participation, low critical thinking, varying academic abilities, and difficulty in connecting theoretical concepts to real-life applications. The aim of this study is to improve students' 4C competencies and learning outcomes through the implementation of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) cooperative learning model. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the study was conducted in three cycles: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 30 students from Grade XI TMI 1. Data collection included learning outcome tests and 4C competency observation sheets, with descriptive and quantitative data analysis. The results showed significant improvements: classical mastery increased from 27% to 90%, average learning scores rose from 67 to 81, and 4C competency mastery improved from 34% (low) to 82% (high). The study concludes that the TAI model effectively enhances both 4C competencies and learning outcomes in SKMI at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman.

Rock stability and service life in geotechnical and mining engineering are highly dependent on the rock's mechanical and physical parameters, where the variation in sandstone grain size is a crucial intrinsic factor. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the correlation between sandstone grain size with uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and resistance to weathering (Slake Durability Index) in samples taken from the Balikpapan and Pulau Balang Formations in the Samarinda area, East Kalimantan. The research methodology involved a series of standard laboratory tests, including rock physical properties analysis, grain size distribution analysis, UCS testing, and slake durability testing through three cycles. The test results show a significant correlation: sandstone with finer grain sizes and higher density consistently demonstrates greater UCS values and a higher Durability Index, indicating superior mechanical and physical resistance. Specifically, the Pulau Balang Formation exhibits a more compact structure and finer grain size, resulting in better durability values compared to the Balikpapan Formation. These findings are important as a geomechanical data basis for slope design planning, rock mass stability analysis, and material selection in infrastructure projects or mining operations involving both formations.
