This community service activity aims to improve basic accounting literacy for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through financial recording training and simple financial report making. Many MSME actors do not have a neat bookkeeping system, making it difficult to find out net income and access financing from financial institutions. Therefore, the introduction of simple accounting is a strategic step to encourage more professional and sustainable business management. This activity was carried out by a team of lecturers accompanied by students, with a participatory approach and based on direct practice. The training material includes basic understanding of accounting, recording daily transactions, preparing income statements, and simulating the use of financial statements for working capital submissions. Through this method, it is hoped that there will be an effective and applicable transfer of knowledge from academics to the public. The results of the activity showed that participants were able to understand the importance of financial recording and began to implement a simple bookkeeping system in their business operations. In addition, participants also showed increased confidence in compiling financial statements that can be used as supporting documents in applying for financing to cooperatives, banks, or other financial institutions. This activity not only provides practical benefits for MSME actors, but also strengthens the role of universities in community economic empowerment. In the future, similar activities can be developed with the integration of digital technology to support more efficient and accurate financial recording.

This research study examines the dynamics of organizational communication and public communication in the recruitment process in State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), with a particular focus on the tension between transparency efforts and the ongoing practice of entrusting positions. Despite the government's introduction of the Joint Recruitment of SOEs (RBB) program, which aims to digitize and standardize the selection of employees, a discrepancy emerges between the program's stated objectives and the perceptions of both the government and the public. The prevalence of complaints pertaining to the absence of information transparency, the lack of feedback mechanisms regarding unsuccessful outcomes, and the emergence of the term "insider" within the digital domain are indicative of deficiencies in two-way communication and a decline in public trust in the BUMN recruitment process. The present research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method and thematic analysis. The data presented herein were obtained through meticulous documentation studies of official documents from the FHCI, the Ministry of SOEs, and online media, as well as netnographic observations of public interactions on social media such as Instagram and Twitter. The analysis focused on public narratives, institutional communication patterns, and their impact on institutional reputation and legitimacy. The findings indicate that organizational communication within the RBB process remains hierarchical, failing to align with the ideal of reciprocal communication. The absence of information disclosure and the lack of a designated public forum for clarification engender significant discord between the assertions of institutional entities and the actual experiences of participants. This research recommends the implementation of measures to enhance the effectiveness of the aforementioned processes.

Islam entered Malaysia through trade, especially by Arab, Indian and Chinese traders since the 7th century, but wider spread occurred in the 13th century through the Kingdoms of Samudera Pasai and Melaka. The Islamization process became stronger with the role of the Malay kingdoms in making Islam the official religion, establishing a sharia-based government system, and introducing Jawi writing as the main medium in education and administration.The development of Islamic education in Malaysia began with the Islamic boarding school and madrasa system which emphasized traditional religious teachings. In the colonial era, Islamic education underwent changes with the establishment of folk religious schools and modern madrasas which combined religious and academic curricula. After independence, the Malaysian government introduced a more formal Islamic education system through national religious schools, tahfiz institutions, and Islamic universities. This development was strengthened by the introduction of JAKIM, the Malaysian Ministry of Education, as well as an educational foundation that supports the integration of Islamic values ​​in the national education system. Today, Islamic education in Malaysia continues to develop through technology and innovation, ensuring it is relevant in the modern world while preserving Islamic scientific traditions.

Digital transformation in health services faces significant challenges, particularly the gap between rapid technological advancements and the readiness of institutional work culture.

This study examines the legal conflict between workers' wage claims and state tax obligations in bankruptcy proceedings under Indonesian law, focusing on the constitutional imperative to prioritize workers' rights. The Introduction contextualizes the tension between Article 95(4) of the Labor Law, which mandates wage prioritization, and tax legislation granting precedence to state claims, highlighting the landmark Constitutional Court Decision No. 67/PUU-XI/2013 that affirmed workers' constitutional rights to timely wages. Employing a Method of normative legal research, the analysis integrates statutory and case approaches, reviewing laws on bankruptcy (UU No. 37/2004), labor rights, and taxation, alongside judicial decisions and international frameworks like ILO Conventions No. 100 and 111. Results reveal that while the Constitutional Court’s decision established workers’ absolute priority over tax claims, regulatory disharmony persists due to conflicting provisions in the Tax Law (UU KUP) and the 2020 Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja), which ambiguously subordinates tax claims only to secured creditors. Discussion underscores the necessity for legal synchronization to align labor and tax regulations, ensuring compliance with Gustav Radbruch’s principles of legal certainty and Hans Kelsen’s normative hierarchy. The study advocates legislative reforms to codify workers’ priority in bankruptcy, drawing parallels with Malaysia’s Employment Act 1955 and France’s AGS system, which institutionalize wage protection. By addressing regulatory contradictions, Indonesia can harmonize constitutional mandates with fiscal policies, balancing social justice and economic stability.
