This research analyzes the role of priests in social dialogue related to the implementation of the Public Housing Savings Program (TAPERA) in Riam Batang Parish and its impact on the lives of the people. TAPERA, as an Indonesian government initiative, aims to facilitate livable house ownership for low-income people through savings and financing schemes. In Riam Batang Parish, priests not only function as spiritual leaders, but also as facilitators of social dialogue and agents of change. This research uses a qualitative approach with case studies, collecting data through in-depth interviews with priests and congregation. The research results show that imams play a key role in increasing people's awareness and understanding of TAPERA, as well as helping overcome bureaucratic and economic obstacles. The Imam plays an active role in providing education and outreach regarding this program, helping the congregation access its benefits, and being a mediator between the congregation and government agencies. However, several challenges such as lack of understanding of the people, complicated administrative processes, and economic limitations are still significant obstacles. This research highlights the importance of effective social dialogue built by priests in supporting the implementation of TAPERA, as well as the need for collaboration between the church, government and local communities to overcome these challenges. Thus, the role of the priest in a social and economic context becomes essential in improving the welfare of the people and achieving the goals of a more inclusive and sustainable public housing program.

One of the main objectives of economic development in many nations, including Indonesia, is to improve societal welfare. Within this framework, zakat and waqf have great promise as Islamic social financial tools that alleviate poverty and inequality in society. With their solid theological and historical roots in Islamic tradition, zakat and waqf have long been employed to promote social and economic prosperity. Nonetheless, there are a number of obstacles facing the collection and administration of zakat and waqf in Indonesia, including poor public confidence in zakat management organisations and a lack of public awareness of the duties associated with zakat and the advantages of waqf. Using a SWOT analysis, this study intends to examine the roles that zakat and waqf play in enhancing societal wellbeing. The strengths, limitations, possibilities, and dangers encountered in the management of zakat and waqf are identified in this analysis, which also offers strategic recommendations to maximise the potential of zakat and waqf in promoting social and economic development. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will significantly aid in the creation of zakat and waqf management methods and policies that are more effective and efficient.

This study focused on assessing the conformity of sharia to kafalah contracts in Hasanah Card products. The main findings show that the implementation of kafalah contracts on Hasanah Cards still does not fully meet the required Sharia criteria. The majority of scholars are of the view that the agreement related to ujrah for kafalah services falls into the category of riba qardh, so it is forbidden. Therefore, it is important to keep the kafalah in its purity context as a form of aid and almsgiving without any element of imbalance or compensation that is not under the principles of Shariah. This research is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of Islamic financial products that are more in line with Islamic teachings. By highlighting shortcomings in the implementation of the kafalah contract in the Hasanah Card product, it is hoped that it will encourage better improvement and innovation efforts to ensure Sharia compliance in Islamic finance practices. In addition, this research is also expected to increase public awareness of the importance of applying sharia principles in every aspect of finance, to create a more transparent, fair, and under Islamic values.

Temporary blood sugar is the level of glucose in the blood that measured without considering the time of the last meal, and often used to detect diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance. This community service activity aims to describe the distribution of blood sugar levels in 68 men and women of productive age at  Kalam Kudus II High School, Jakarta. This community service activity is carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Action method. The results showed that the majority of respondents had normal fasting blood sugar levels (97.1%), with an average of 113.26 mg/dL and a median of 104 mg/dL. Lifestyle factors, nutrition, genetics, and chronic medical conditions can affect blood sugar levels at any time. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential for early detection and management of diabetes mellitus, which can prevent serious complications such as cardiovascular disease and nephropathy. Prevention strategies include a healthy diet, physical activity, patient education, and appropriate medical interventions. Comprehensive public health programs are needed to increase awareness and management of diabetes, as well as improve the quality of life of individuals affected by this disease.

The issue of plastic bags continues to be a significant topic globally in waste management. Their relatively low cost, ease of use, and accessibility have made plastic bags an integral part of human life. With increasing plastic bag usage, inevitably comes an increase in plastic waste. Moreover, the rapid usage cycle of plastic bags, as they are typically single-use items used only temporarily, exacerbates the problem. If plastic waste is not optimally managed, it will have negative environmental impacts. To address this, the retail company Alfamart has begun employing green marketing strategies to promote the "Plastic Bag Diet" by offering environmentally friendly shopping bag products (Eco Bags). This aims to raise awareness and concern among the public for environmental sustainability by reducing plastic bag usage during shopping. Apart from Alfamart, other competing retail companies have also adopted similar strategies and offer eco-friendly bag products. The intensifying competition among retail companies forces managers to reconsider their strategies to win market share. The issuance of the Bali Provincial Regulation on Limiting Single-Use Plastic Waste is based on Article 12 paragraph (3) and Article 13 paragraph (2) of Bali Provincial Regulation Number 5 Year 2011 concerning Waste Management. This reflects the negative impacts that can arise if waste is not properly managed. The enactment of local regulations prohibiting the use of single-use plastic indicates a legal policy direction towards environmental conservation. The research method used in this study is a juridical normative method with a literature review approach, focusing on legal norms including principles, norms, rules, regulations, agreements, and doctrines. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects of green marketing on attracting purchasing interest and persuading the public to make purchasing decisions on Eco Bag products at Alfamart as alternatives to plastic bags.

This study aims to determine the nusyuz behavior of husbands to wives in the dynamics of contemporary community marriage. By using literature research and descriptive qualitative methods, the researcher seeks to understand the various aspects that contribute to the emergence of nusyuz behavior. Based on the results of the study, the researcher found several factors at play, including economic problems that burden the family, differences in socio-cultural values that may not be aligned, psychological issues that affect relationship dynamics, lack of deep religious understanding, and the influence of a less supportive family and social environment. Overcoming this problem requires strategic and collaborative measures involving various parties. The government and related institutions must take the initiative to create programs that educate the public about the importance of understanding and practicing Islamic teachings in accordance with the current context. Educational and religious institutions must be active in spreading the values of love, compassion and harmony taught by Islam. In addition, increasing public awareness about rights in marriage and the importance of gender equality is also key to preventing nusyuz.
