This study evaluates the effectiveness of AI-powered tutoring systems in enhancing personalized English language learning among students in Colleges of Education in Lagos State, Nigeria. The primary objectives include assessing the impact of these systems on students' English proficiency and evaluating their perceptions of usability and effectiveness. Guided by four research questions, the study aims to provide insights into the integration of AI in educational contexts. Employing a survey research design, the study targeted a population of approximately 50,000 final-year students across several Colleges of Education. A sample of 400 students was selected using a combination of convenience and stratified random sampling techniques, ensuring representation from two institutions: the Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka (FCET) and the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED). A structured questionnaire with 30 items was developed and validated, achieving a reliability coefficient of 0.81. Data collection methods included both in-person and online approaches, yielding a response rate of 74.5% (298 completed questionnaires). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test for hypothesis testing. The findings revealed a significant difference in English language proficiency between students using AI tutoring systems and those using traditional methods, with the AI group reporting better outcomes. Additionally, students expressed mixed perceptions regarding the usability of AI systems. Major recommendations include enhancing AI system functionalities, providing comprehensive training for users, and addressing technological barriers to ensure effective implementation. This study underscores the potential of AI in education while highlighting the need for ongoing improvements and support mechanisms.

This study aims to analyze the development strategies of business units at Pondok Pesantren Manbaul Ulum Muncar Banyuwangi in realizing the economic independence of the pesantren. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, using data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation.

Restorative justice or restorative justice, is an approach that emphasizes restoring losses experienced by victims, reintegrating perpetrators into society, and repairing social relationships damaged by criminal acts. In contrast to the retributive approach which focuses on punishment as retribution for legal violations, this research aims to analyze the concept of mediation as an alternative for resolving criminal acts from a restorative justice perspective and the effectiveness of mediation in reducing the burden on the courts and increasing the efficiency of the criminal justice system. This research is a type of normative legal research that uses a conceptual approach. The data source used in this research is secondary data. The results of this research are that mediation as an alternative for resolving criminal acts from a restorative justice perspective has great potential to create more substantive and sustainable justice. Mediation is an effective tool for reducing the burden on courts and increasing the efficiency of the criminal justice system. By providing a faster, more cost-effective and flexible dispute resolution mechanism, mediation not only helps reduce the backlog of cases in court, but also creates more satisfactory solutions for victims and perpetrators.

This study evaluates the influence of the size and rotation of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) on the Maqashid Sharia Performance (MSP) in Islamic banks in 12 member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Asia. Using data from 49 Islamic banks during the 2021-2023 period accessed through annual reports, the analysis was carried out using a Random Effect Model (REM). Independent variables include SSB size, which is measured by the number of members, and SSB rotation, which is assessed based on member turnover in a year. MSP is measured using the Maqashid Sharia Index with the Abu Zahrah approach involving the dimensions of education, community welfare, and public interest. The results showed that the size and rotation of SSB did not have a significant influence on MSP. These findings indicate weaknesses in Islamic banking governance in OIC member countries, including a suboptimal SSB recruitment system and a lack of effective supervision from high-level Islamic authorities. In addition, the contribution of independent variables to MSP performance is considered low, so it is concluded that other factors, such as SSB experience, sharia internal control system, and regulatory policies, can have a more significant influence.

Stock returns are one of the indicators in investor investment decision making. Factors that influence stock returns are internal (fundamental) factors, namely ROA, DPR and EPS. The purpose of this study was to determine: the effect of Return On Asset (ROA) on Stock Returns, the effect of Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) on Stock Returns, and the effect of Earnings Per Share (EPS) on Stock Returns in Industrial Sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. Findings: Return On Asset (ROA) has a positive and significant effect on Stock Returns, Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) does not affect Stock Returns, and Earnings Per Share (EPS) does not affect Stock Returns. The implication of this study for investors is that they can use ROA as the main indicator in analyzing potential opportunities to gain profit from capital gains from stock returns before making investment decisions. The implication for management is to focus on strategies to optimize the use of assets to generate greater profits.

This study aims to analyze the reliability and performance of Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes using the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Inherent Availability (IA) methods. The MTTR method is used to measure the average time required for repairs, while MTBF calculates the average time between failures. Meanwhile, the IA method assesses the inherent availability of the equipment based on the previous two parameters. The results indicate that some RTG units experience high MTTR, such as RTG035-12, which recorded a repair time of 124.15 hours in January, and RTG035-13 with 441.23 hours in February. On the other hand, RTG035-19 demonstrated more stable performance with low MTTR in several months. In terms of MTBF, RTG035-16 recorded the lowest value of 0 hours in July, indicating significant disruptions, whereas RTG035-12 exhibited the best performance with the highest MTBF of 614 hours in December. The IA analysis revealed that some RTGs had low values, such as RTG035-13, which only reached 0.312 in February, while RTG035-19 maintained values above 0.95 throughout the year, demonstrating high reliability. This study provides insights into the performance of RTG equipment at the Semarang Container Terminal (TPKS) and emphasizes the need for effective maintenance strategies to enhance operational reliability and efficiency.

This study aims to explore the various challenges faced by students in learning science and to analyze the internal and external factors that influence them. This research is motivated by the low success rate of students in science courses, which is thought to be due to multiple obstacles involving cognitive, affective, and learning environment aspects. The research method used is a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and surveys of students enrolled in science courses at universities. The findings show that internal factors, such as self-efficacy, basic mathematical skills, and intrinsic motivation, play a significant role in influencing students’ understanding of science material. On the other hand, external factors, including curriculum, teaching methods, environmental support, and facility limitations, also have a substantial impact. This study suggests improvements in curriculum reform at the elementary and secondary levels, more interactive teaching methods, and adequate academic support to help students overcome difficulties in science courses.
