This study aims to analyze the denotative and connotative meanings found in the lyrics of the song “Mangu” by Fourtwnty using a qualitative semantic approach. The song was selected due to its rich lyrical structure, filled with symbolism, emotional depth, and spiritual reflection, making it a compelling subject for linguistic analysis. The data was obtained through the documentation of the song’s lyrics and then analyzed by identifying, classifying, and interpreting words or phrases that potentially carry dual meanings. The findings indicate that the lyrics of “Mangu” contain denotative meanings that refer to the literal definitions of words, as well as connotative meanings that imply emotional, symbolic, and spiritual messages. Several phrases, such as “arah kiblat” (direction of prayer), “cara berdoa” (way of praying), and “kumadah” (I offer), carry deep connotations reflecting differences in life perspectives and spiritual values within a relationship. The analysis reveals that the conflict in the song is not merely romantic but also existential, highlighting a separation driven by differing beliefs and life interpretations. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding connotative meaning in interpreting song lyrics as a form of complex language expression and contributes to the enrichment of semantic studies in popular literary works.

This study aims to analyze the operational conditions of the raw material warehouse at PT Nutrition And Special Foods Division and evaluate the potential implementation of an Internet of things (IoT)-based warehouse management system (WMS) to improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse management. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, including field observations and interviews with several operators and warehouse staff. The findings indicate that the currently used manual system causes various obstacles, such as input errors, slow picking processes, and limited stock tracking capabilities. A simulation of WMS implementation using RFID and barcode technology showed significant improvements, including approximately 40% increase in picking  efficiency, around 90% improvement in stock recording accuracy, and a reduction of input errors by up to 85%. The application of this technology also supports real-time tracking using FIFO/FEFO methods and enhances visibility and decision-making in logistics operations. Thus, the integration of RFID, barcode, and QR code in WMS proves effective in transforming warehouse management into a faster, more accurate, and responsive system aligned with supply chain dynamics.

Results showed that most complaints occurred in the right hand, back, and neck, with risk levels ranging from moderate to very high. Based on these findings, recommendations include workstation redesign, use of assistive tools, and ergonomic training to help reduce MSD risks and improve workplace safety. This study contributes practical insights into ergonomic applications, particularly in the aircraft maintenance industry.

The development of the digital economy in Indonesia, particularly through social media and digital platforms, presents new challenges in the national taxation system. This study aims to review the digital taxation policies that have been implemented, identify challenges and opportunities, and analyze their impact on tax compliance and revenue. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 25 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024. The study results show that Indonesia has implemented digital tax policies through regulations such as Income Tax and VAT on digital transactions as well as self-assessment and withholding reporting systems. Key challenges include low tax awareness and compliance, lack of education, regulatory complexity, and limited oversight. Nonetheless, there are great opportunities to increase state revenue through the use of technology, broadening the tax base, and international collaboration. The impact on tax compliance is not optimal, but can be improved with the right strategies, including education and administrative reform. This study recommends strengthening the regulatory framework, inter-agency synergy, and technology utilization as strategic steps to support the successful implementation of digital tax in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the contribution of Abu Yusuf's thoughts in public financial governance and its relationship with the state financial system in Indonesia. In his famous work, Kitab al-Kharaj, Abu Yusuf revealed the principles of public economy based on Islamic values, such as justice in the distribution of wealth, transparency in tax management, and the responsibility of the state in ensuring the welfare of the people. This research approach is qualitative with a literature study method, utilizing classical and contemporary literature sources that discuss financial ideas according to Abu Yusuf and compare them with the Indonesian system. The analysis shows that Abu Yusuf's ideas, such as the proportional tax system (muqasamah), the prohibition of corruption in tax management (taqbil), and the state's responsibility in development, are still relevant to the principles of Indonesian public finance today. Therefore, his thoughts can be used as a normative reference in building a fair, open, and welfare-oriented state financial system.

This study aims to provide an overview of the consumption patterns of Generation Z and how they relate to inflation from an Islamic economics perspective. A library research strategy is used in this investigation. Information was gathered from a number of sources, such as books, journals, and other problem-related scientific resources. The results indicate that Gen Z's consumption habits could lead to demand-pull inflation, or an increase in inflation. Prices rise when the supply cannot keep up with the substantial increase in demand for products and services brought on by consumer behavior. When Gen Z consumes technology, fashion, entertainment, and food items all of which are frequently popular and seasonal this issue becomes more noticeable. Consumption is controlled in Islamic economics to avoid becoming wasteful (tabzir) or excessive (israf). Needs (maslahah), not only wants or carnal emotions, must be the basis for consumption. The primary remedy, according to Islamic economics, is to emphasize beneficial consumption, Islamic-based money management, and bolstering social and spiritual values in order to curb consumption and prevent detrimental effects on people or the economy.

The stability profile of suspension formulations is a critical factor in determining the shelf life, efficacy, and safety of pharmaceutical products. This review compares the stability of suspensions based on natural extracts and those formulated with synthetic chemicals. The objective is to explore the physicochemical behavior of both types, with attention to sedimentation rate, particle size distribution, viscosity, and pH variation over time. This literature-based analysis employs a comparative method using previously published experimental data on various suspension formulations. The findings indicate that while synthetic-based suspensions often demonstrate superior stability due to controlled formulation variables, natural extract-based suspensions can achieve acceptable stability through the use of proper suspending agents and preservation techniques. The implication of this comparison is to provide formulators with a balanced perspective when choosing between natural and synthetic ingredients for suspension development, especially in the context of clean-label and green pharmacy trends.

Speaking skills are one of the fundamental aspects of language competence that play a central role in interpersonal communication, learning, and individual self-development in society. In the context of language learning, speaking skills not only reflect a person's linguistic ability, but also demonstrate maturity of thinking, social skills, and the capacity to participate actively in various communicative situations. UNESCO (2023) emphasizes that strengthening oral communication skills among students is very important to prepare them to face the challenges of the increasingly complex and dialogue-based world of work and global society. This teaching material development model is also driven by the use of technology and interactive multimedia, such as animated videos, to web-based e-modules. Recent studies have shown that teaching materials like this have been proven to improve students' maharah kalam (speaking), reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills in understanding Arabic texts more comprehensively

This study aims to determine students' understanding of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) material and its implications for the ease of practicing religious values among students at SMP Negeri 3 Limboto Barat. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that students' understanding of IRE material is quite good, particularly in aspects of worship they experience in their daily lives, such as prayer and fasting. IRC teachers play a central role in the learning process by applying interactive methods, hands-on practice, and setting a good example. The implications of this understanding are evident in students' practice of religious values, such as increased awareness of performing Dhuha prayer and congregational prayer voluntarily, as well as their active participation in religious activities at school. Supporting factors in PAI learning include the role of teachers as role models, adequate school facilities, and parental involvement. The inhibiting factors are time constraints, differences in students' learning styles, and a lack of support from the environment outside of school. However, teachers are able to overcome these obstacles with creative and adaptive learning strategies.

Article 31 Paragraph 3 of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, which states that "the husband is the head of the family and the wife is a housewife," raises concerns regarding gender equality and contemporary social dynamics. This provision is considered to reflect a patriarchal legal construction that fails to respond to the evolving gender roles in modern society, where women also actively contribute as breadwinners and decision-makers within the family. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Article 31 Paragraph 3 through a normative, contextual, and inclusive juridical approach. The findings indicate that this provision has the potential to perpetuate gender discrimination and contradicts the principles of justice enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia as well as the CEDAW Convention, which has been ratified by Indonesia. Therefore, a reinterpretation of Article 31 Paragraph 3 is necessary to ensure it aligns with contemporary values of equality and current social realities. Reformulating this provision is essential to establish an inclusive and just family law system that keeps pace with societal developments.
