The moral crisis and rampant corruption among Christian leaders pose serious challenges that erode the credibility and integrity of religious institutions. This phenomenon not only tarnishes the image of Christianity institutionally but also weakens the foundation of ethics and spiritual values that should guide the lives of the congregation. This issue becomes even more pressing when it occurs in the realm of Christian education, a place where future leaders should be formed. This study aims to analyze Jonathan Lamb's concept of integrity as a strategic framework for addressing this crisis, especially in the context of Christian educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach and literature review, this study highlights Lamb's holistic view of integrity, which encompasses three main dimensions: wholeness of the person (wholeness), consistency between beliefs and actions (consistency), and full accountability to God (accountability to God). Lamb's concept of integrity is highly relevant amidst the increasing need for leaders who are not only competent but also possess proven character. The findings of this study indicate that to effectively implement the concept of integrity, Christian educational institutions need to take a two-pronged approach: first, comprehensively reform the curriculum so that integrity values are not only a separate subject, but are integrated into all disciplines and learning activities; Second, building an institutional culture that emphasizes moral exemplarity from leaders, lecturers, and educational staff. Furthermore, a sustainable character development system, transparent accountability evaluation, and open ethical discussion are needed. Education is not only about knowledge transfer, but also about character transformation. Therefore, integrity must be seen as the core of Christian education, not an add-on. This study concludes that Lamb's concept of integrity can be a transformative model that encourages the formation of future leaders with strong character, prevents moral failure, and restores public trust in Christian institutions

Background: Islamic inheritance law represents a critical component of family law systems that extends beyond religious obligations to encompass significant socio-economic implications for asset distribution and intergenerational justice. While Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam have both incorporated Islamic law into their national legal frameworks, their implementation approaches demonstrate fundamental structural and procedural differences that warrant systematic comparative analysis. Objective: This study examines the institutional frameworks and implementation effectiveness of Islamic inheritance law systems in Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, analyzing how constitutional arrangements and governmental approaches influence the practical application of faraid principles. Methods: This research employs a normative legal methodology utilizing comparative analysis of legal frameworks, institutional structures, and judicial decisions. The study analyzes primary legal sources including constitutional provisions, statutory laws, court decisions, and administrative guidelines from both jurisdictions. Data collection encompassed library research examining fiqh literature, national legislation, official documents, scholarly articles, and religious legal opinions. Theoretical frameworks of legal pluralism (Romano-Gierke), Maqasid al-Shariah, and Hartian legal positivism provide analytical foundations for institutional effectiveness assessment. Results: Malaysia's dual legal system creates jurisdictional tensions between Syariah and civil courts, particularly regarding immovable property administration, resulting in administrative complexity and legal uncertainty that undermines Islamic law effectiveness. Conversely, Brunei's centralized Islamic legal framework demonstrates superior institutional coherence through exclusive Syariah court jurisdiction, enabling direct faraid implementation without inter-court conflicts. The study reveals that approximately RM42 billion in Muslim inheritance remains undistributed in Malaysia due to systematic administrative failures, while Brunei's unified approach achieves greater legal certainty and administrative efficiency. Conclusions: Institutional structures fundamentally determine Islamic inheritance law implementation effectiveness in contemporary Muslim societies. Successful Islamic law implementation requires comprehensive institutional support aligning legal structures with religious objectives rather than mere constitutional recognition. Malaysia's fragmented system inadvertently undermines Islamic law's divine authority through secular intervention, while Brunei's unified approach enhances religious legitimacy and community compliance.

A landslide that occurred on May 24, 2024, in Pekon Datarajan, Ulubelu District, Tanggamus, Lampung, caused significant disruption to provincial road access and resulted in material losses. This study aims to assess the post-failure slope stability through field geotechnical investigation and numerical analysis using the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM), and to propose immediate countermeasures. The slope materials consist of MH (inorganic silt) and ML (elastic silt) with high moisture content and moderate to high swelling potential. The lithology is dominated by montmorillonite clay, which has hygroscopic characteristics, making it highly vulnerable to water infiltration that reduces shear strength and increases the risk of slope failure. Stability analysis indicates a post-failure factor of safety (FoS) of 1.36 (static loading) and 1.03 (dynamic loading), which decreases to 1.07 beneath raised groundwater conditions. Recommended immediate mitigation includes surface runoff control, the construction of impermeable drainage systems, the sealing of cracks using impermeable materials, and the installation of temporary slope reinforcements such as sheet piles. The implementation of these measures increased the FoS to 1.61 (static loading) and 1.16 (dynamic loading). This study provides a technical basis for the rapid and effective mitigation of landslides in areas with similar geological and hydrological conditions.

Machine translation (MT), especially neural machine translation (NMT) technology, has made significant progress in producing more natural and fluent translations. However, this technology still faces major challenges related to cultural sensitivity, where idiomatic, philosophical, and social contextual meanings often fail to be captured accurately. Through a qualitative literature review, this article examines the main challenges faced by machine translation in understanding and reproducing cultural nuances. The analysis shows that NMT systems have limitations in translating philosophical terms and idioms, tend to be biased due to the dominance of English-language data, and ignore the metalinguistic awareness of humans. Failure to capture these cultural dimensions not only risks losing the authentic meaning of the message but can also accelerate the loss of local languages. This study concludes that the role of humans remains irreplaceable in translating highly cultural texts. Therefore, a hybrid approach that combines technology with human intervention ( human-in-the-loop ) and the development of models trained with more culturally diverse data is recommended to produce inclusive and ethical translations.  

Putra Muba Coal is one of the subsidiaries under the MNC Group, operating in the coal mining sector with an IUP (Mining Business Permit) area covering 2,947 hectares. During its mining operations at the Pandu Pit, PT. Putra Muba Coal experienced a landslide incident on the highwall side. Therefore, a back-analysis using the deterministic method was conducted to determine the material property values that led to the slope failure in the mining area. The slope material consists of claystone and siltstone layers, each with a cohesion value of 192.3 kN/m² and 157.0 kN/m², and internal friction angles of 25.3° and 24.4°, respectively. Based on the back-analysis results, it was found that there was a decrease in material property values, with cohesion reduced by 91% and the internal friction angle reduced by 29%. This reduction in material properties suggests that the decrease in cohesion was the primary factor causing the highwall slope failure, as indicated by the back-analysis of slope stability which resulted in a safety factor of (SF = 1.008).

An open pit exploitation activity will become less effective and cause production to not run well, resulting in the failure to meet production targets at PT. Indominco Mandiri. Therefore, to achieve production targets and obtain more optimal results, we need to plan the Design Pit Limit. The purpose of this research is to optimize the pit, find the BESR value, and compare the differences between two methods. The Lerch Grossman 2D algorithm method is believed to be able to determine the optimal pit boundary quite quickly, while the Minescape with its triangle method can calculate some unreadable sides quite accurately. The Lerch Grossman method with its economic blocks indicates that an elevation of 72 mdpl is the outer boundary of the pit that has the potential to generate a profit of $20,194,836.59, with the best consideration being a Stripping Ratio of 1:21.08. With that lower limit, an optimal pit design was created using minescape software, resulting in a coal reserve value of 1,581,870.42 tons with a profit of $14,590,646.75, which is larger and with a smaller SR of 1:19.06.

Digital transformation of government has become a priority agenda in smart city development in Indonesia. This study analyzes the digital transformation strategies implemented by various local governments in adopting smart city technology through a comparative study approach. Using a qualitative methodology with multi-case analysis, this study examines five cities in Indonesia that have implemented smart city initiatives: Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Makassar. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, field observations, and policy document analysis. The findings show that the success of smart city implementation is influenced by transformational leadership factors, digital infrastructure readiness, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and human resource capacity. Implementation failures are mainly caused by budget constraints, resistance to organizational change, and lack of system integration. This study provides theoretical contributions in the development of a digital transformation framework for government and practical contributions in the preparation of a smart city roadmap in Indonesia.

Entrepreneurs in the digital era face constant challenges that require adaptation and innovation. Although economic and managerial factors are often the focus, the role of psychological dimensions such as resilience and creativity in entrepreneurial success has not been widely reviewed in depth. This study aims to examine relevant theories and findings on psychological resilience and creativity in the context of entrepreneurship, and to build a conceptual framework to support entrepreneurial innovation. Using a qualitative literature study method, this study systematically searches, analyzes, and synthesizes scientific literature from various databases. The results of the synthesis indicate that psychological resilience is crucial for entrepreneurs to recover from failure and adapt to change. Characteristics such as optimism and emotional regulation are the pillars of mental resilience. Meanwhile, creativity is an innovation engine that facilitates the identification of new opportunities and the development of unique solutions. A synergistic relationship between resilience and creativity is also found: resilience provides a psychological buffer for taking creative risks, and the creative process can strengthen self-resilience. The theoretical implication is the need for a more holistic entrepreneurship model. In practice, this study recommends educational institutions, especially the Faculty of Psychology, to integrate the development of resilience and creativity into the entrepreneurship curriculum.

The viral phenomenon of #IndonesiaGelap on social media in early 2025 reflects symptoms of socio-political disorganization in Indonesia. This hashtag symbolizes public and student unrest concerning the crisis of institutional legitimacy, weakened regulatory functions, and the erosion of public trust. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, focusing on student protests at Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ) as a response to perceived political injustice. Using the framework of structural functionalism and Émile Durkheim’s concept of anomie, the movement is interpreted as an adaptive response to systemic failure in providing legitimate channels for justice and democracy. Although it has not resulted in direct policy change, the movement has raised collective awareness, expanded public discourse, and reaffirmed the role of students as agents of change in the digital age. The study recommends collaboration among students, government, and civil society to create a more inclusive and responsive socio-political system.

The results of the study indicate that business incubators play an important role in reducing the failure rate of digital startups, increasing competitiveness, and accelerating the commercialization process of digital products and services. An effective incubator is characterized by the ability to provide relevant mentoring programs, mentoring from industry practitioners, and access to funding sources. The conclusion of this study states that the existence of business incubators significantly supports the growth and sustainability of digital startups, but their success still depends heavily on the quality of incubation services and the internal readiness of startups to receive coaching.

Since the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) at the end of 2015, all economic actors—including SMEs and microenterprises—are expected to improve and adapt in order to enhance the quality of both goods and services. Failure to do so may result in Indonesia becoming a "soft target" market for other ASEAN countries, given its status as the most populous country in the region with over 270 million people. SMEs and microenterprises, which represent the embodiment of people-based economic democracy, would be particularly vulnerable if goods and services from various ASEAN countries continue to flood the Indonesian market. Recognizing this situation, empowering SMEs and microenterprises is not only necessary but inevitable to help the nation discover its identity through the development of comparative and competitive advantages. This activity began by identifying existing problems, followed by determining suitable solutions. The method used involves training and mentoring.The outcome of this initiative is the improved capability of the traditional cake microenterprise to optimize its sales by using locally sourced raw materials. As a result, the "Puji Lestari" Traditional Cake Microenterprise has successfully enhanced its production capacity and business management.Financial reporting is also a crucial aspect of business development. A well-maintained financial report reflects the progress of the business, particularly through the net profits it generates. These outcomes serve as indicators of increased empowerment and the strengthening of the enterprise.

Passenger safety in ferry transportation is a crucial issue in Indonesia's sea transportation system, especially due to the high rate of accidents caused by the negligence of port managers. This study aims to analyze the form and limit of port manager's legal responsibility for passenger safety based on national regulations and international legal instruments. This research uses a normative method with the approach of legislation, legal doctrine, and court decisions. The results of the study show that port managers have administrative, civil and criminal responsibilities for passenger safety, including moral and social responsibilities. Failure to carry out these obligations can lead to legal sanctions. It is recommended that port managers strengthen safety management systems, improve inter-agency coordination, and adopt technology and good governance principles to ensure optimal legal protection for passengers. Regulatory updates and continuous supervision are also indispensable.

This study aims to describe the reasons and experiences of Indonesian youth who choose to work abroad as a response to domestic employment conditions. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, four key informants who have worked abroad for two years were interviewed online. The results show that young people experience obstacles in obtaining decent work, such as a non-transparent recruitment system, the dominance of nepotism practices, low professional recognition, and limited space for development. The decision to work abroad is a form of resistance to an unfair social system, as well as an effort to build a better identity and future. These findings are analyzed using Ulrich Beck's risk society theory, which explains that individuals in the modern era face social risks due to the failure of the modernization system. This study recommends the need for reform of the employment system in Indonesia to be fairer, more inclusive, and pro-young generation.  

This research explores the key challenges in child protection efforts carried out by UNICEF in armed conflict areas, focusing on the case of the Central African Republic (CAR). It adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, drawing on a literature review of UNICEF reports, UN documents, academic publications, and other credible sources. The analysis reveals that child protection failures stem not only from technical obstacles in the field but also from deeper structural problems, including the state’s weak presence, political compromises with armed groups, and limited institutional capacity. Three major categories of barriers are identified: structural and access-related obstacles, socio-cultural and political constraints, and institutional and operational limitations. UNICEF faces significant challenges in reaching high-risk areas, gaining community trust, and ensuring program sustainability amid high dependence on external funding. Using the human security framework, this research highlights the need to understand child protection in conflict zones as a multidimensional issue requiring a long-term, contextualized approach that strengthens state structures and empowers local communities.

Patients who have undergone odontectomy surgery are at risk of respiratory failure due to decreased oxygen saturation. Good handling is needed to overcome this, especially by placing the patient in the 60° Fowler position for 10 minutes, which facilitates breathing because gravity pulls the diaphragm down, increasing lung expansion. The purpose of this study was to determine how giving the 60° Fowler position to post-odontectomy patients affects their oxygen saturation levels. This study used a pre-experimental design using the pre-experiment one group pre-post test methodology. The sampling technique used purposive sampling of 36 respondents with an instrument in the form of an observation sheet. The statistical test used the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test to determine the effect of the fowler position variable on changes in oxygen saturation in post-odontectomy patients. The majority of respondents before being given the 60⁰ fowler position had oxygen saturation in the mild hypoxemia category of 25 respondents (69.4%). After being given the 60⁰ fowler position intervention, all respondents experienced a very significant average increase of 6.3%. The Wilcoxon test results obtained a result of 0.000 (p <0.05). There is a significant effect of giving the 60˚ fowler position on changes in oxygen saturation in post-odontectomy patients at IBS RSUD Dr. Tjitrowardojo Purworejo.  

Draft Sizing quality is a crucial issue in the sizing department. There were 14,881 total warp breaks woven during the November to December period. This led to low draft sizing quality. This research aims to improve the quality of draft sizing by applying Grey Theory in traditional FMEA. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, observations and interviews at PT Delta Merlin Dunia Tekstil V. The data processing method in this study uses Grey Theory and FMEA methods. The results of this study indicate that from the sizing process flow there are 7 sizing areas that are potential failures of draft sizing and show that out of 26 priority sequences there are 10 different priorities and 16 the same priority. Determination of improvement priorities is based on the value of the smallest degree of relationship, namely Potential causes PIV is not stable in the size box area with the result of the degree of relationship value of 0.356, Potential causes PIV is not stable in the head stock area with the result of the degree of relationship value of 0.382, Potential Causes Kampas wear in the creel beam stand area with the result of a degree value of 0.477, Potential Causes Gear and Chain wear in the dryer cylinder area with the result of a degree value of 0.453 and Potential Causes The break regulator hole is not symmetrical (pneumatic piston is not aligned) in the creal beam stand area with the result of a degree value of 0.466. This research can recommend the sizing improvement process based on proposed improvements or maintenance schedules on the sizing machine, using Grey Theory in the FMEA method to improve the quality of the sizing draft.
