Corruption is a serious crime that has a significant impact on the government, the economy, and public welfare. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), an independent organization charged with combating corruption, plays a crucial role in the Indonesian legal system and is empowered to carry out investigations, inquiries, and prosecutions against corruption crimes to uphold the supremacy of the law and create a clean government. However, along the way, the KPK's performance has experienced various challenges, both regulation, politics, and technicalities in carrying out its duties. Changes in regulations, especially through the revision of Law Number 30 of 2002 enacted in 2019, are one of the factors that influence the effectiveness of this institution in carrying out its duties. This study strives to analyze the performance of the KPK in enforcing the law on corruption crimes in Indonesia. The main focus of this study includes an evaluation of the effectiveness of the KPK in handling corruption cases, the challenges faced, and strategies that can be applied to improve the performance of this institution. The methods used in this study are normative and empirical juridical methods. The examination of various laws and regulations applying normative legal approaches governing the eradication of corruption, and investigating official documents such as the KPK's annual report. Meanwhile, the empirical approach is carried out by analyzing case data handled by the KPK. The research results are expected to provide an overview of the effectiveness of the KPK in enforcing the law against criminal acts of corruption and provide constructive recommendations for efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia.

This study explores the semantic fields of love and loss in Lord Huron’s song "The Night We Met," using a lexical semantics framework. Song lyrics, known for their emotional depth, serve as a rich source for analyzing affective meaning, particularly through word selection and repetition. The primary research question addresses how semantic fields are constructed within minimalist lyrical compositions to convey complex emotional states. In this analysis, a qualitative descriptive method is applied to examine the song's lexical items and group them into thematic semantic fields. The study finds that the song uses a concise set of lexemes connected to themes of memory, temporal disorientation, grief, and love. These thematic fields intertwine, interacting to depict a narrative that encapsulates unresolved emotional pain. Love and loss are not presented in isolation but are embedded in a broader emotional context, where words evoke both the sweetness of past affection and the sorrow of its absence. The overlap of these semantic fields reflects the internal conflict experienced by the narrator, torn between cherished memories and the painful realization of loss. The study concludes that despite the song’s brevity, the lyrics effectively evoke profound emotional responses through a meticulous choice of words and thematic consistency. The semantic fields constructed within the song illustrate how even minimal language can convey intense emotional content, providing valuable linguistic insight into the function of lyricism in popular music. The research demonstrates the ability of short, poignant lyrics to engage listeners emotionally, revealing how lyricists use limited language to encapsulate complex feelings of love and loss.

The background of this research is the importance of pursuing knowledge based on good morals. The formation of Islamic character based on good morals is an important aspect that needs to be emphasized in students' lives, both in the school environment and in society. This is because good character is a reflection of the success of education, especially education based on Islamic values. However, at SMP Ma'arif NU 2 Kemranjen, several student behavioral problems were still found that indicate the suboptimal formation of Islamic character. Some students appeared unprepared when submitting memorization targets (deposits), were still outside the classroom when learning began, and arrived late to participate in the 0-hour habituation program. These problems indicate the importance of evaluating the effectiveness of the 0-hour habituation program that has been implemented by the school as an effort to form Islamic character. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether there is an effect of the 0-hour habituation program on the formation of students' Islamic character. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method. The population in this study were all 107 eighth-grade students of SMP Ma'arif NU 2 Kemranjen from three classes. Data collection techniques were conducted through documentation of the 0-hour habituation program scores given by teachers and the Islamic character formation questionnaire completed by students. The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistics, with the calculation of averages, percentages, and data categorization. The results of the study indicate that the 0-hour habituation program did not have a significant impact on the formation of students' Islamic character. Nevertheless, this program is still being implemented because it is believed to have various benefits that can support the long-term character education process. This research contributes to schools in evaluating and developing more effective strategies for forming students' Islamic character.

Money laundering is a serious crime that has a significant impact on economic and social stability, as well as the integrity of the financial system. This crime is often associated with serious crimes such as corruption, narcotics, and terrorism. Money laundering poses a major threat to national security, conceals the origin of illicit funds, and undermines a healthy economic system. To combat this crime, Indonesia has imposed criminal sanctions based on Law Number 8 of 2010, which aims to provide a deterrent effect on perpetrators and prevent similar crimes from occurring in the future. However, the effectiveness of these criminal sanctions remains a critical challenge, given the various difficulties in their enforcement, such as the complexity of tracking the flow of funds, limited law enforcement resources, and the increasingly sophisticated modus operandi of perpetrators who often work together with international networks. This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of criminal sanctions in combating money laundering and identify obstacles in their implementation. The research method used is juridical-normative research with a legal regulatory framework. Primary data was obtained through literature review and examination of legal documents, while secondary data came from relevant literature, reports, and academic studies. The urgency of this research stems from the importance of evaluating and strengthening the application of criminal sanctions to protect the national financial system from the risk of money laundering. Without concrete steps to increase the effectiveness of sanctions, money laundering crimes will continue to proliferate and pose a threat to the national economy, weaken the legal system, and erode public trust in efforts to combat economic crime.

This study aims to examine the influence of financial performance ratios—namely, the liquidity ratio (Current Ratio/CR), solvency ratio (Debt to Asset Ratio/DAR), and activity ratio (Total Asset Turnover/TATO)—on the return on assets (ROA) of companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020–2023. Employing a quantitative research approach with purposive sampling, the study focuses on automotive sector companies that met specific criteria over the observed time span. Data analysis was conducted using EViews version 13 software, and the methodology included descriptive statistics, panel data estimation, classical assumption tests, panel data regression analysis, t-tests (for partial effects), F-tests (for simultaneous effects), and coefficient of determination (R²) tests. The partial test results reveal that the liquidity ratio (CR) has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that higher liquidity does not necessarily enhance profitability. Similarly, the solvency ratio (DAR) demonstrates a negative and insignificant effect on ROA, suggesting that increased debt levels are not significantly associated with lower returns. In contrast, the activity ratio (TATO) has a positive and significant effect on ROA, implying that better asset utilization contributes positively to profitability. When tested simultaneously, the combination of CR, DAR, and TATO shows a positive and significant influence on ROA, indicating that these financial ratios collectively impact the profitability of automotive companies. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how internal financial indicators relate to profitability in the automotive sector and can inform management decisions and investor evaluations.

Financial statements play an important role in providing relevant, reliable, and trustworthy financial information to stakeholders. Although auditors are responsible for ensuring the fairness of these statements, cases of undetected financial fraud still occur. This research seeks to empirically examine the effect of experience and time budget pressure on the auditor’s ability to detect fraud, with an understanding of red flags as a moderating variable. The research was conducted on auditors who work in Public Accounting Firms (PAFs) in Bali. The sample was determined using purposive sampling technique and 94 auditors were obtained as a sample. Data was collected through a survey method using a structured questionnaire distributed to respondents. The analytical methods used include multiple linear regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results showed that experience has a positive effect, and time budget pressure has a negative effect on the auditor’s’ ability to detect fraud. Furthermore, red flags strengthen the effect of experience and time budget pressure on the auditor’s ability to detect fraud. The findings provide valuable insights for auditors to manage their work focus effectively and for public accounting firms to allocate audit time proportionally, ensuring optimal awareness of red flags even under high time pressure.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of stock price fluctuations in manufacturing companies, which reflect market instability, both internal and external to the company. These volatile stock price changes create uncertainty for investors, particularly when financial performance indicators such as Return on Assets (ROA), Current Ratio (CR), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) show varying results across companies and time periods. Strong financial performance is usually a positive signal for investors, but inconsistencies in these indicators raise doubts in investment decision-making. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of ROA, CR, and NPM on stock prices in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2024. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal research type, where the data used are secondary data obtained from the companies' annual financial reports. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with certain criteria, resulting in a sample of 85 companies. With an observation period of four years, a total of 340 observations were analyzed. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 30 software. The results of the analysis indicate that, partially, ROA and CR have a significant influence on stock prices. This means that increasing the efficiency of asset use and the company's ability to meet short-term obligations are important factors considered by investors. However, NPM does not have a significant influence partially on stock prices. Nevertheless, all three variables simultaneously have a significant influence on stock prices. This finding has important implications for company management, namely that increasing asset efficiency and optimal liquidity management can strengthen a company's attractiveness to investors by improving credible financial performance.

Food and beverage companies play a vital role in the Indonesian economy, despite facing various challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices and intense market competition. Return on Assets (ROA) is used as an indicator to assess a company's profitability performance, which is crucial for determining the extent to which a company can generate profits from its assets. This study aims to analyze the effect of three financial variables, namely the current ratio (CR), debt to equity ratio (DER), and working capital turnover (WCT), on return on assets in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020-2024 period. The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach with data analysis techniques that include classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination tests. The sample used in this study was 31 food and beverage companies selected using purposive sampling techniques based on certain criteria. The results of the study indicate that (1) debt to equity ratio and working capital turnover partially have a significant effect on return on assets, while the current ratio does not have a significant effect on return on assets. (2) Simultaneously, the current ratio, debt to equity ratio, and working capital turnover have a significant effect on return on assets in food and beverage companies listed on the IDX. The findings of this study state that the DER and WCT variables have a strong influence on ROA, which means that both are important factors in improving the profitability performance of companies in the food and beverage sector. Thus, the results of this study can provide insight for company managers and investors in making decisions related to financial management to maximize company profitability.

This study explores the impact of organizational commitment, rewards, and punishment on employee performance at Perum DAMRI Bandar Lampung, a branch of the state-owned enterprise specializing in land transportation services for passengers and cargo. The research arises from the necessity to improve employee performance by leveraging both internal and external motivational factors, including employee loyalty, reward systems, and disciplinary actions. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected through a structured survey distributed to 168 active employees of the organization. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression through SPSS version 24. The study found that organizational commitment and rewards have a significant and positive influence on employee performance. These findings support the proposed hypotheses and highlight the importance of fostering employee loyalty and implementing an effective reward system to boost performance outcomes. In contrast, the analysis revealed that punishment does not have a significant positive effect on employee performance. This suggests that punitive measures alone may not be effective in encouraging desired work behaviors or improving overall performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that Perum DAMRI Bandar Lampung prioritize initiatives that strengthen organizational commitment and develop a fair, transparent, and performance-based reward system. Such efforts are likely to enhance employee motivation and productivity. Additionally, the current approach to punishment should be critically evaluated to determine its role and effectiveness in supporting performance goals. A more constructive disciplinary framework may be needed to align with modern human resource management practices. This study contributes to the broader understanding of performance management in state-owned enterprises, especially in the transportation sector.

The war between India and Pakistan has had a devastating impact on the economies of both the countries directly involved and those indirectly affected. The economic impacts of this armed conflict include significant infrastructure damage, reduced production capacity, soaring inflation, rising unemployment, and reduced investment flows. This geopolitical instability has also fueled uncertainty in global financial markets, triggering a "flight to safety" phenomenon, a shift in capital and investment to countries or instruments perceived as safer, such as US government bonds or gold. For Indonesia, this situation has the potential to significantly disrupt national economic stability. One impact is a reduction in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, as investors tend to hold back or relocate their investments to more geopolitically stable countries. Furthermore, pressure on the rupiah exchange rate could increase due to global financial market volatility and a decline in international investor confidence. The conflict could also hamper Indonesia's export traffic, particularly to countries with close trade ties with India and Pakistan. Furthermore, these tensions could disrupt global supply chains, particularly for energy and food commodities, many of which pass through strategic trade routes. If the conflict drags on, the price of crude oil and other raw materials could potentially rise sharply, which in turn would increase domestic production costs. This would have a direct impact on inflation and public purchasing power. This situation further complicates the management of Indonesia's monetary and fiscal policies, which currently face significant challenges, such as the imminent maturities of large government debt and a still-widening state budget deficit. The government must take strategic steps to maintain domestic economic stability, strengthen foreign exchange reserves, and encourage export market diversification to reduce over-reliance on conflict-prone countries.

The Cargo oil pump is one of the auxiliary units on board a ship, used to transfer cargo from one location to another during loading and unloading operations. On the MT Pangrango vessel, an issue occurred with the cargo oil pump: its performance declined, resulting in slow suction during the unloading process. This problem hindered efficient cargo operations, as the pump was not functioning properly.This study aims to identify the contributing factors, impacts, and countermeasures for the decreased performance of the cargo oil pump. The research methodology applied in this thesis involved a descriptive approach combined with Miles and Huberman’s analytical method, with data validity tested via triangulation. Data collection techniques used to identify the problem included observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review.The results revealed that the pump’s shaft was worn due to excessive friction, and the ball bearing s exhibited wear and disintegration caused by lack of lubrication (grease). The recommended corrective actions were to add material to the shaft , perform realignment to correct any shaft misalignment, and implement routine maintenance—specifically, monthly grease lubrication. These measures, when properly applied, can significantly reduce the risk of Cargo oil pump damage.

This study aims to improve ground handling personnel to support operational safety in the airside area of Yogyakarta International Airport. The main focus of this study is the level of compliance with the technical provisions stipulated in SKEP 140/VI/1999. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through direct field observation, interviews with competent parties, and review of related documents. The results of the study indicate that there are still many violations of standard operating procedures (SOPs), especially related to the use and placement of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) that does not comply with standards and the operation of vehicles that do not reach properly. Some of the main causes identified are weak supervision, low work discipline, limited understanding of safety procedures, and a lack of routine training for officers. This has the potential to increase safety risks and disrupt smooth operations at the airport. As a solution, this study recommends corrective measures that include strengthening field supervision, ongoing training to improve understanding of safety procedures, implementing strict sanctions for violators, and reorganizing equipment storage and use areas. In addition, it is important to develop a stronger safety culture among officers and utilize technology to improve operational oversight. These measures are expected to create a safer and more efficient environment in the airside area of Yogyakarta International Airport. This study also identified the need for regular evaluation and updating of existing procedures to align with technological developments and international standards. By paying attention to safety aspects, operational efficiency can be maintained and the risk of accidents or incidents can be minimized. By strengthening safety management and work discipline, better performance levels and improved service quality in the aviation sector can be achieved.

This study aims to analyze the influence of learning interest, learning discipline, and critical thinking skills on student learning outcomes in the Simple Financial Processing subject for class XI MPLB at SMK PGRI 2 Sidoarjo. Learning outcomes are understood as skills or abilities acquired by students after participating in the learning process, the success of which is measured through scores in the form of numbers, symbols, or letters. Three factors selected in this study as independent variables are learning interest, learning discipline, and critical thinking skills. This type of research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach, which aims to explain the cause-and-effect relationship between these variables. The population in this study were all 102 class XI MPLB students. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling with a total sampling type, so that the entire population was sampled. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to students. The data obtained were then analyzed using SPSS version 27 software. Before conducting multiple linear regression analysis, validity and reliability tests were first conducted to ensure that the instruments used were appropriate and consistent in measuring the variables studied. The analysis results show that the three independent variables—learning interest, learning discipline, and critical thinking skills—have a significant influence on student learning outcomes. Therefore, it can be concluded that improvements in these three aspects will positively impact student learning outcomes in the subjects studied.

The transition of children from early childhood education to elementary school (SD) is a critical phase in their psychological and academic development. During this phase, children face significant challenges, including changes to a more structured learning environment and increasing academic demands. At SDN 055991 in Langkat Regency, this phenomenon is reflected in the difficulties experienced by some students, particularly with basic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as with socializing with peers. These difficulties can impact children's long-term academic and social development. This study aims to identify the key factors influencing children's learning readiness during this transition period, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Specifically, this study uses Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Decision Trees as tools to analyze the data obtained. The use of this data-driven approach allows for a more in-depth analysis of the complex patterns and relationships between various variables that influence children's learning readiness, such as family factors, social environment, and students' basic skills. This study also references various previous studies demonstrating the effectiveness of backpropagation and Deep Learning algorithms in the context of education and student performance prediction. This approach is expected to provide more precise solutions for understanding children's learning readiness and provide a more accurate picture of the factors contributing to difficulties experienced by students in the transition to elementary school. The results of this study are expected to provide relevant recommendations for parents, educators, and education policymakers to support children's learning readiness and strengthen basic education policies that are adaptive to the needs of students in this digital era.

Nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy are common physiological symptoms that may interfere with maternal comfort and nutritional intake. One widely accepted non-pharmacological therapy to reduce these symptoms is ginger decoction, due to its antinausea properties derived from active compounds such as gingerol and shogaol. This study aims to determine the relationship between pregnant women's level of knowledge and their attitudes toward the use of ginger decoction to alleviate nausea and vomiting in the first trimester. This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive-analytic design. The population included all first-trimester pregnant women visiting Pratama Madina Clinic during January–February 2024, totaling 47 respondents selected using total sampling. Data collection used a structured questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate techniques, with the Chi-square test applied. The results showed that 75% of respondents had good knowledge and demonstrated a positive attitude toward using ginger decoction. The Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude (p = 0.000). The study concludes that knowledge level influences pregnant women's attitudes toward herbal therapy, and ginger decoction is well-accepted as a non-pharmacological option to reduce pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. Further health education is recommended to enhance awareness of safe and effective natural therapies for pregnant women.

The maternal mortality rate remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Timely detection of obstetric emergencies such as preeclampsia, sepsis, and postpartum hemorrhage is crucial to reducing delays in treatment. This literature review aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of the Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (MEOWS) in primary healthcare settings. The review included 22 articles published between 2016 and 2023, identified through databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Findings indicate that MEOWS is effective in detecting early signs of maternal deterioration, improving clinical decision-making, and preventing severe complications. However, challenges remain in adopting MEOWS in primary care due to limited training, lack of standardized protocols, and inadequate resources. The results highlight the need for capacity building, policy support, and contextual adaptation of MEOWS to optimize its use in community-based maternal care. This review suggests that the integration of MEOWS can strengthen obstetric triage systems and contribute to lowering maternal mortality rates in low-resource settings.

Shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) is a horticultural plant that holds significant economic value and therapeutic potential. This study aims to examine the potential of shallots as an immunomodulatory and anticancer agent based on a literature review of various experimental studies. The main bioactive compounds in shallots, such as quercetin, flavonoids, saponins, and sulfur-containing compounds, have been shown to modulate the immune system and inhibit cancer cell growth. As an immunomodulator, shallot extracts have been found to enhance phagocytic activity, stimulate immune cell proliferation, and balance the Th1/Th2 immune response. On the other hand, its anticancer activity is realized through cell cycle inhibition, apoptosis induction, and cytotoxic effects on various cancer cell types, including breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. This review was conducted by analyzing experimental in vitro and in vivo studies published between 2014 and 2024. The synthesis results indicate that shallots hold strong potential as a supportive therapy for immune-related diseases and cancer. However, further clinical trials and toxicological studies are needed to confirm their efficacy and safety as a natural-based therapeutic agent.

This study examines social ecology from the perspective of hadith science (‘ulum al-hadith), with the aim of exploring the environmental and social values contained in prophetic hadiths. The main focus of this study is the methodological analysis of hadiths related to ecological issues, such as environmental conservation, social justice, and natural resource management. This study uses a hadith criticism approach, namely by examining aspects of authenticity through analysis of sanad (chain of narrators), criticism of matan (the content of the hadith), and contextual and semantic interpretation of hadiths relevant to environmental themes. In this study, the hadiths analyzed were selectively selected based on their relevance to the principles of Islamic social ecology. The analysis process was carried out thoroughly to assess the validity of the hadith and understand its meaning and normative objectives. This approach integrates classical evaluation methods of hadith science with a contemporary ethical perspective, resulting in a comprehensive framework for formulating hadith-based environmental ethics. Research findings indicate that many authentic hadiths contain strong social ecological principles, such as the concept of caliphate (human leadership over the earth), mizan (balance), and distributive justice. These values emphasize the importance of human responsibility in preserving nature and creating harmony between humans and their environment. These hadiths also demonstrate the close relationship between the spiritual dimension and socio-ecological responsibility. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of hadith-based Islamic environmental jurisprudence. With a methodological and academic approach, this study enriches understanding of Islamic ecological ethics and opens up opportunities for integrating religious values into just and sustainable environmental management.

Honesty (ṣidq) is a core value in Islamic teachings that not only shapes individual behavior but also plays a vital role in establishing a just, trustworthy, and moral society. In various authentic hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized that honesty leads to righteousness (al-birr), and righteousness leads to Paradise. Conversely, lying leads to wickedness and Hell, and is one of the signs of hypocrisy. This study aims to explore the significance of honesty in Islam based on the Prophet’s hadiths and the explanations of classical scholars. The research method used is qualitative with a library research approach. Primary data sources include authentic hadith compilations such as Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, while secondary data are drawn from relevant scholarly literature. The analysis applies a thematic approach by grouping hadiths on honesty into sub-themes and interpreting their contexts and meanings. The findings show that honesty must be cultivated continuously, is a sign of true faith, and a condition for attaining divine blessings in all aspects of life, including economic transactions (mu‘āmalāt). Scholars such as Imam al-Nawawī, Ibn Rajab, and Ibn Ḥajar unanimously affirm that honesty is the root of all virtue and a source of spiritual light. Thus, honesty in Islam is not merely a social ethic but a spiritual path to divine pleasure and salvation in both this world and the hereafter. The analysis follows a thematic approach, categorizing the hadiths related to honesty into sub-themes and interpreting their contexts and deeper meanings. The findings emphasize that honesty is an essential part of true faith, continuously cultivated by believers, and a necessary condition for receiving divine blessings in all areas of life, including economic transactions (mu‘āmalāt). Scholars like Imam al-Nawawī, Ibn Rajab, and Ibn Ḥajar unanimously assert that honesty is the foundation of all virtues and a source of spiritual enlightenment. Therefore, in Islam, honesty is more than just a social ethic; it is a spiritual path that leads to divine pleasure and salvation in this life and the hereafter. This study underscores the central role of honesty in both personal morality and broader social harmony within Islamic teachings.
