This study aims to explore the influence of religiosity on depression levels among working women in Indonesia, using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2007-2014. With the increasing participation of women in the workforce, the challenge of maintaining mental health, particularly depression, becomes increasingly relevant. Employing a quantitative approach and logistic regression analysis, this study examines the relationship between religiosity, socioeconomic variables, and depression levels. The results show that religiosity has a significant positive effect on the probability of not experiencing depression, while age, education, and income also exhibit significant positive influences. Conversely, living in urban areas is found to have a significant negative impact. These findings highlight the importance of religiosity and socioeconomic factors in shaping the mental well-being of working women in Indonesia.

In the era of globalization, the internet and social media play an important role in many ways. The rise of various social media platforms has paved the way for preachers to preach virtually, with target audiences such as Generation Z teenagers. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of digital da'wah in shaping religious understanding and awareness for Generation Z teenagers. Digital da'wah, which involves platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Spotify, is the main channel in spreading religious messages to Generation Z teenagers. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach and in-depth interviews with Generation Z teenagers who actively access social media. The results showed that digital da'wah plays a major role in improving adolescents' religious understanding, providing easy access to religious materials, and shaping positive behavior in accordance with Islamic values. However, challenges such as content that is not in accordance with religious teachings, as well as the influence of social media that can affect the mindset of teenagers, also need attention.

This study analyzes social media comments related to a controversial incident involving Gus Miftah and a street vendor, using Edward T. Hall's theory of High- and Low-Context Communication. The goal is to identify the degree of context in each comment and explore how cultural and social values shape online discourse. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on 9 user-generated comments from a social media platform. The comments were categorized as either High-Context or Low-Context based on the use of cultural references, implicit meanings, and the need for shared cultural knowledge to understand the message. The analysis found that 5 out of 9 comments (55%) were Ligh-Context, while 4 comments (45%) were How-Context. High-context comments often utilized religious symbolism, cultural idioms, and implicit moral critiques, reflecting Indonesia’s deeply rooted religious and moral values. In contrast, low-context comments relied on direct language, explicit criticism, and factual storytelling, making them universally understandable across cultures. The study highlights how local cultural norms, religious values, and moral expectations influence the nature of public discourse online. This approach demonstrates Hall's framework's relevance in cross-cultural communication studies while also providing insights into how Indonesian social media users engage in moral and religious criticism. This analysis can be used as a basis for future research on the intersection of culture, religion, and digital discourse.

This study aims to analyze students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in the topic of Systems of Three Linear Equations (SPLTV) at SMA PGRI 4 Jakarta. The research employs a qualitative method with an approach that includes interviews and written tests. The subjects of the study consist of eleventh-grade students selected purposively. The results indicate that students have varying levels of understanding regarding SPLTV problems, with some students facing difficulties in comprehending word problems and applying appropriate solving methods. Nevertheless, most students are able to utilize substitution, elimination, and combination methods in solving problems. The study also finds that students tend not to check their answers, which can affect the accuracy of their results. Therefore, it is recommended that students adopt a more systematic approach in problem-solving and perform checks to enhance their confidence and answer accuracy.

This study aims to explore how the integration of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma', and Qiyas becomes the main foundation in building a sharia economic framework that is relevant to modern challenges. The Qur'an, as the main source of Islamic law, provides holistic and transformative guidelines, while the Sunnah serves as an explanation and reinforcement of the principles contained in the Qur'an. On the other hand, Ijma' and Qiyas play a crucial role in formulating new laws that are not explicitly mentioned in the sacred texts, thus enabling the application of sharia in the context of contemporary economic problems that continue to develop. This study uses a literature study approach to analyze various theoretical and empirical perspectives related to the application of the four sources of law in sharia economics. The research findings show that the integration of the four sources of Islamic law not only forms a strong normative basis but also provides an understanding in responding to the needs of modern society. In this way, sharia economics can accommodate the principles of justice, poverty, and inclusiveness, which are the essence of building an economic system oriented towards collective welfare. In addition, this study critiques the challenges in implementing sharia principles, especially in the process of interpretation and adaptation to global dynamics. The limitations of conventional methodologies in integrating legal sources often become obstacles in creating solutions that are appropriate to local and global contexts. Therefore, this study suggests the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration between scholars, economists, and policy makers to ensure that sharia economics can develop consistently and relevantly to the needs of the times. These findings not only enrich academic discourse but also provide practical contributions in efforts to build a more just, sustainable, and Islamic-value-based economic order.  

This study aims to examine the implementation of teaching strategies and methods at SDN 1 Gobras using a qualitative approach supported by NVivo 15 software.

This article examines two significant linguistic phenomena in Arabic: Ta'kid Al-Madh Bima Yusybih Al-Dzamm and Ta'kid Al-Dzamm Bima Yusybih Al-Madh. Both are rhetorical techniques that enrich the meaning of praise and insult, by presenting conflicting nuances. Ta'kid Al-Madh Bima Yusybih Al-Dzamm describes the way praise is conveyed by inserting elements that contain insults, creating irony and complexity in the message. For example, expressions that appear positive can contain deep innuendo. In contrast, Ta'kid Al-Dzamm Bima Yusybih Al-Madh shows how insults can be framed with nuances of praise, turning criticism into something more subtle and open to acceptance. The research method used by researchers in this research is a qualitative research approach with a descriptive method approach. This research used data collection by searching in journals and books as well as previous research literature related to this research. Through analysis of linguistic structures and examples from literary works and everyday conversations, this article aims to explain the emotional and social impact of both techniques. With a deeper understanding of Ta'kid Al-Madh and Ta'kid Al-Dzamm, readers are expected to be able to appreciate the uniqueness and complexity of the Arabic language as well as the rhetorical implications that exist in everyday communication.
