Sharia financing is a key instrument that Islamic banks must promote in channeling third-party funds. This aligns with the basic principles of Islamic banking, which emphasize fairness, partnership, and business sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to examine how various Islamic financing schemes impact Islamic bank profitability. This study focuses on Bank Mega Syariah, using secondary data sourced from quarterly financial reports for the period 2017 to 2024. The financing variables analyzed include musyarakah, mudharabah, murabahah, and ijarah, while profitability is measured using relevant financial performance indicators. The analysis method used is a quantitative approach using regression techniques to examine the effect of each type of financing on bank profitability. The results show that musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah-based financing have a positive and significant impact on profitability, meaning that the higher the distribution of these three types of financing, the greater their contribution to increasing bank profits. These findings indicate that the business partnership model, profit-sharing system, and profit margin stipulated in the murabahah contract significantly contribute to maintaining profit growth. Conversely, ijarah financing did not significantly impact profitability. This may be due to the characteristics of ijarah, which tends to be oriented towards fixed assets or leases, resulting in a relatively limited contribution to increasing short-term profits. Overall, this study provides important implications for Islamic bank management to further optimize the proportion of musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah financing as a strategy to boost financial performance and maintain business continuity amidst the competitive Islamic banking industry.

Hairstyling is a crucial aspect of enhancing one’s aesthetic appearance and self-expression, with the Hollywood Wave being one of the most iconic and classic styles. Characterized by large, shiny, and neatly arranged “S”-shaped waves, this style requires accuracy in both technique and tools. One of the most influential factors in achieving the desired look is the diameter of the curly iron used. Observations during an internship at a national television station revealed that different curly iron diameters, specifically 28 mm and 25 mm, produce varied results when applied to long straight hair. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of using 28 mm and 25 mm diameter curly irons in creating Hollywood Wave styles. The research employed a quantitative method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The independent variable was the Hollywood Wave styling technique, while the dependent variable was the styling result measured across three indicators: wave shape, wave durability, and wave volume. The sample consisted of students who had completed the Hair Styling course and had long straight hair, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, followed by normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing to ensure validity. The findings demonstrate that the 28 mm curly iron performs more effectively than the 25 mm in producing Hollywood Waves that are neater, longer-lasting, and more voluminous. Statistical analysis confirms a significant difference between the two diameters in achieving optimal styling results. This suggests that the larger diameter curly iron not only provides a smoother and more polished wave pattern but also improves the durability and overall quality of the style. The study contributes to hairstyling practices by offering evidence-based insights into tool selection for professional styling, particularly for achieving the Hollywood Wave look.

The phenomenon of increasing sexual violence crimes committed by children in Indonesia poses a dilemma for law enforcement. Children as perpetrators are legally responsible subjects, but they still require special protection. This study analyzes the dualism in the regulations of Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice Sistem (UU SPPA) and Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. A normative and empirical legal approach is used to assess the substance, philosophy, and implementation of both laws. The results indicate inconsistencies in the application of restorative justice principles (diversion) and repressive sanctions. It is recommended that regulations be harmonized and the capacity of law enforcement officials be strengthened to achieve a fair and recovery-oriented sistem.

In general, attacks on hospitals are prohibited under international humanitarian law (IHL), which aims to protect the life and health of civilians during armed conflicts. However, in certain circumstances, hospitals may lose their protection and thus become legitimate targets in warfare if they are considered to be involved in military activities or supporting the parties to the conflict. This brings into question the application of the principle of proportionality, which is an essential element of IHL. The principle of proportionality seeks to balance military necessity with the protection of civilians, requiring that the harm caused by military operations should not be disproportionate to the military advantage sought. This principle demands that military operations be conducted carefully to minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects, including hospitals. However, its application raises significant ethical questions regarding the moral justification of such actions, especially when hospitals are targeted in attacks. One prominent example that raises ethical concerns about this justification is the destruction of Al-Shifa Hospital in Northern Gaza. The hospital was destroyed in an airstrike during the conflict, causing severe harm to the civilian population that relied on this facility. While the principle of proportionality is designed to limit damage, attacks on hospitals such as Al-Shifa raise questions about whether the actions taken were truly consistent with this principle, particularly when the military gain achieved does not seem to outweigh the damage caused to human life and vital infrastructure. This article aims to explore the conventional moral justification of the principle of proportionality in international humanitarian law and evaluate its application in the case of Al-Shifa Hospital, challenging the boundaries of the principle in practice.

Vocational education in Indonesia faces a serious challenge in the form of a gap between the competencies of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the evolving needs of the workforce. Timika City, despite having the largest number of vocational high schools (SMK) in Papua, has not yet fully demonstrated optimal educational management quality, particularly in the aspect of school administration. This condition has resulted in low effectiveness in data recording, documentation of industrial work practices, and reporting and evaluation of partnerships with the business and industrial world (DUDI). This study aims to explore and analyze administrative management strategies that can improve educational quality while strengthening the work readiness of vocational high school students in Timika City. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis of secondary data, including government policy reports, educational statistics, and the latest scientific literature. The results show that weaknesses in the administrative system are one of the factors inhibiting the achievement of competitive vocational education quality. The implementation of management strategies based on Total Quality Management (TQM) principles, particularly through the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle, data-driven decision-making, and the involvement of all school elements, has proven effective in increasing the efficiency and accountability of administrative services. The discussion also emphasized the importance of transformational leadership from school principals, developing the competencies of administrative staff, utilizing information technology in administrative systems, and strengthening strategic partnerships with the industrial and industrial sectors (DUDI). Therefore, it can be concluded that school administrative management is not merely a technical function, but rather a strategic component in building a vocational education ecosystem that is adaptive, relevant, and oriented to the needs of the workplace. This research recommends that school policymakers and local governments strengthen administrative governance systems to support educational quality and improve the job readiness of vocational high school graduates.

Human trafficking is a highly complex form of transnational crime involving transnational criminal networks. This crime generally originates from developing countries with unstable socio-economic conditions, where women and children are often the primary victims. They are forced or tricked into working in exploitative sectors, particularly sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, and other forms of oppression that benefit agents, distributors, and organized crime syndicates. In Indonesia, regulations regarding this crime are stipulated in Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. This study aims to determine the form of legal protection provided to victims of human trafficking in the jurisdiction of the Surabaya Police, as well as to understand the various obstacles faced by police officers and the efforts made to overcome them. The research method used is empirical juridical, namely examining the law in practice through primary data obtained from interviews, observations, and official documents, then combined with secondary data in the form of legal literature, laws and regulations, and tertiary legal materials to support the analysis. This study found that the Surabaya City Police have implemented legal protection measures for victims of human trafficking in accordance with applicable regulations, from handling reports and conducting investigations and inquiries, to coordinating with relevant agencies such as social services, women's and children's protection agencies, and non-governmental organizations. However, several obstacles remain, including limited police resources, low victim awareness of reporting cases, and threats from perpetrators that discourage victims from cooperating. Despite this, maximum efforts continue to be made through improved inter-agency coordination, legal and psychological assistance for victims, and firm law enforcement against perpetrators. Therefore, it can be concluded that legal protection for victims of human trafficking at the Surabaya City Police has been quite effective, although institutional strengthening and increased public legal awareness are still needed.

UD. Indokarya Brass is a company engaged in the brass handicraft industry with its main products being door handles and bells. The main raw materials used in the production process include brass, copper, tin, and aluminum, which are obtained from suppliers both within and outside the city. On average, raw materials are received weekly with quantities of 50–100 kg of brass, 7–10 kg of copper, 10–15 kg of tin, and 3–5 kg of aluminum. In addition, the company also uses additional materials in the form of thinner and epoxy purchased from nearby hardware stores with less frequent purchases, namely 5–10 liters of thinner every month and around 5 kg of epoxy every two months. To date, the company has not had a structured policy for procurement and control of raw material inventory. This condition results in excess inventory of several types of raw materials which actually incurs high costs, both in terms of storage costs and warehouse maintenance costs. This excess inventory ultimately has an impact on reduced efficiency and decreased company profits. This study was conducted to analyze the existing inventory system and compare the company's current policy with a proposed method for more optimal inventory control. The calculation results show that the proposed method is able to provide significant inventory cost savings, namely 83.25% in brass raw materials, 15.28% in copper, 14.6% in tin, 43.37% in aluminum, 4.66% in epoxy, 4.2% in thinner, and 40.7% in other raw materials. Thus, the implementation of the right inventory control method can improve operational efficiency and help companies reduce cost burdens, so that profits can be more optimal.

Traffic congestion in Jakarta has become a serious problem, affecting various aspects of life, such as time efficiency, environmental quality, and economic productivity. As one solution to overcome this problem, the Jakarta government is developing a mass public transportation system, including the Light Rail Transit (LRT). The LRT is expected to reduce congestion by providing a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation alternative. In the process of planning and optimizing the LRT system, discrete mathematics, particularly graph theory, plays a very important role. Graph theory is used to model the LRT station network and track, with vertices representing stations and edges representing connecting lines between stations. With this model, various analyses can be performed to optimize the LRT line, such as finding the shortest path between two stations or evaluating the connectivity between existing stations. The use of graph theory allows the identification of more efficient routes, resulting in faster travel and reduced passenger waiting times. In addition, graph theory also plays a role in optimizing the LRT route by minimizing the number of transfers between stations or avoiding passenger congestion at certain stations. With proper route and network optimization, the LRT can make a significant contribution to reducing traffic congestion in Jakarta. Furthermore, the development of an efficient public transportation system also supports improved air quality and reduces reliance on private vehicles. Overall, the application of graph theory in LRT system planning is a strategic step towards creating more efficient and sustainable transportation in large cities like Jakarta. Beyond route optimization, graph theory is also very useful in analyzing route capacity and passenger distribution along the LRT system.

Fish bekasam is one of Indonesia's traditional fermented products that involves the activity of microorganisms, especially lactic acid bacteria (LAB), to produce unique organoleptic, chemical, and microbiological characteristics. The fermentation process of bekasam plays a significant role not only in extending the shelf life of fish but also in creating a distinctive sour taste and texture that differs from other fish products. This study aims to analyze the microbiological community involved in the fish bekasam fermentation process through observation and identification of bacteria using Safranin Violet and Iodine staining techniques. This study employs a literature review approach, examining various references related to the fermentation process, the dominant bacteria species, and the environmental factors that affect the quality of bekasam. The analysis revealed that lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, and Pediococcus spp. play an important role in the fermentation of bekasam fish. These bacteria produce lactic acid, which contributes to the sour taste and plays a role in forming the product's texture. The Safranin Violet and Iodine staining techniques were effective for identifying bacteria based on their cell wall characteristics, with Gram-positive bacteria dominating the fermentation process. Environmental factors such as the fermentation time, salt concentration, and the addition of ingredients like carbohydrates or turmeric extract influence the dynamics of bacterial populations in the fermentation of bekasam. This study also emphasizes the importance of controlling pathogenic bacterial contamination, such as Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli, to ensure food safety in bekasam products. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the microbiological dynamics in fish bekasam fermentation and the relevance of staining techniques in microbiological analysis, which can be used to improve the quality and safety of traditional fermented products. This study also opens opportunities for developing safer and higher-quality bekasam products.
