This study examines Ad-Dakhil in Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, focusing on Israiliyyat narrations found in the interpretation of Qur’anic narrative verses in Juz 1–10. The research is motivated by the position of Israiliyyat as a form of infiltration (ad-dakhil) in Qur’anic exegesis that may affect the objectivity of interpretation, particularly in contemporary tafsir works. This study aims to identify the distribution of Israiliyyat narrations, classify their thematic patterns, and determine the status of each narration based on the critical framework of ad-dakhil fi at-tafsir. This research employs a qualitative library-based approach. The primary source is Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka (Gema Insani, 2017), supported by classical and contemporary tafsir literature as well as scholarly works on Israiliyyat. Data were analyzed using the theory of ad-dakhil fi at-tafsir, classifying narrations into three categories: accepted (maqbul), rejected (mardud), and suspended (tawaqquf). The findings reveal seventeen Israiliyyat narrations scattered throughout Juz 1–10, originating from the Old Testament, the New Testament, Wahb bin Munabbih, ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir. These narrations fall into nine major themes, including the creation and origin of humanity, the story of Prophet Adam and his descendants, Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Ya‘qub, Prophet Musa and Bani Israil, Prophet Sulaiman, Prophet Zakariya, Prophet ‘Isa and his people, as well as accounts of previous nations. Of these seventeen narrations, eleven are classified as rejected (mardud), five as tawaqquf, and one as accepted (maqbul). These results emphasize the necessity of critical engagement with Israiliyyat narrations in tafsir literature to preserve the integrity of Qur’anic interpretation.

First-year university students undergo a transitional phase from the school environment to the academic, social, and emotional demands of higher education. This transition often triggers stress when not supported by an adequate social environment. Peer support plays an essential role in this adaptation process by providing emotional support, information, and a sense of belonging. Positive peer relationships can help students manage academic pressure, whereas poor peer interactions may increase the risk of stress. Therefore, peer support serves as a protective factor in maintaining the psychological well-being of first-year students. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using the Peer Support Questionnaire (PSQ) and the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) from 130 first-year students of the Faculty of Pharmacy, UNISSULA. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Gamma correlation test to determine the relationship between the variables. The Gamma test revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted, meaning there is a significant relationship between peer support and stress levels among first-year students. The correlation coefficient of –0.737 indicates a strong negative relationship, suggesting that higher peer support is associated with lower stress levels. There is a significant and strong relationship between peer support and stress levels among first-year students at the Faculty of Pharmacy, UNISSULA.

Hypertension is a significant global health problem, especially in specific groups such as pregnant women. The high incidence and potential for serious complications demand non pharmacological management efforts and innovative use of local foods. This study examines the potential of local functional foods such as Ambon bananas, banana blossoms, and bamboo shoots as alternatives for health management and product development, particularly those related to hypertension in pregnant women. The method used was a systematic literature review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, which encompasses four main stages: identification, screening, feasibility assessment, and analysis of results.The study results showed that the Ambon banana diet significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Factors such as age, family support, stress levels, and fast food consumption were shown to be significantly associated with the incidence of hypertension in pregnant women. Furthermore, bamboo shoot consumption significantly reduced blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure. In terms of product innovation, the fish floss formulation combined with banana blossoms or bamboo shoots received positive feedback from the panelists. The fermentation process of bamboo shoots is known to produce flour with a very high crude fiber content. Therefore, this local food has significant potential as a source of additional fiber and a raw material for value-added processed products to support food security and improve public health.

MMP is a metal manufacturing company engaged in casting, forging, and machining processes with a three-shift work system, including night shifts that may increase mental and physical workload due to disruptions in workers’ biological rhythms. This study aims to analyze the mental and physical workload of die casting machine operators during the night shift and to propose improvement measures using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method. The study involved 23 operators, with mental workload assessed using NASA-TLX and physical workload measured using CVL. The results indicate that mental workload falls into high to very high categories, with WWL values ranging from 46.6 to 97.3, where 12 operators experienced very high mental workload. The dominant contributing dimensions were effort, physical demand, and temporal demand. Meanwhile, physical workload ranged from 19.48% to 36.36% CVL, with most operators not experiencing fatigue. Although physical workload remains within acceptable limits, the high mental workload indicates the need for improvements. FTA analysis identified key contributing factors, including work methods, work systems, ergonomics, machine conditions, and the work environment. Proposed improvements include job rotation, improvements in work methods and task distribution, adjustments to the work system, enhanced machine maintenance, and ergonomics-based workplace improvements.

The increasing demand for housing in tropical regions requires building materials that are fast to apply, environmentally friendly, and resilient to extreme climate conditions as well as disaster risks. Conventional interlocking bricks are often chosen for their ease of construction, yet they still face challenges such as moisture and early cracking. This study proposes the innovation of the Hybrid Living Green Brick, a combination of lightweight bricks made from rice husk ash and fly ash waste (FRCB) with a biological layer of cyanobacteria. FRCB improves compressive strength by approximately 30% with the addition of 5% rice husk ash, achieving 65 kg/cm², thereby meeting Class 50 requirements (≥50 kg/cm²) according to SNI-15-2094-2000. The incorporation of 3% cyanobacteria provides an additional though not significant strength improvement, while still within the Class 50 category. It also reduces brick weight by 4.3%, with further optimization potential through cyanobacteria integration, and lowers carbon emissions from the firing process. Cyanobacteria induce the formation of CaCO₃ layers that seal pores, reduce water absorption by an average of 10%, and provide self-healing properties for microcracks. Preliminary observations indicate that FRCB offers stable mechanical performance, while biological activity was observed on the 7th day with the formation of pale-white mineral layers continuing until the 28th day. This hybrid innovation shows potential to support sustainable and disaster-resilient tropical construction by combining the mechanical strength of waste-based materials with the biological durability of cyanobacteria against extreme climates. Despite challenges related to moisture control and production standardization, the Hybrid Living Green Brick concept opens new pathways for developing environmentally friendly construction materials that are more adaptive to disaster-prone tropical conditions.

Social change in Indonesia has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, one of which is reflected in the emergence of the Sole Proprietorship Company concept under Law No. 6 of 2023 on Job Creation. This framework allows individuals to establish a Limited Liability Company, particularly to support micro and small enterprises (MSEs). The innovation is not merely an adaptation of global practices but also a response to the need to strengthen economic independence. This study applies an interdisciplinary method with normative and socio-legal approaches to examine the provisions of the Sole Proprietorship Company by integrating social change factors underlying its necessity, despite substantive differences from conventional Limited Liability Companies. The analysis explores legal legitimacy and social readiness, concluding that social transformation drives the demand for this concept. Thus, regulations should be refined to remain simple and effective while encouraging MSEs to use it as a legal safeguard.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia's economy with a contribution of more than 60 percent to the Gross Domestic Product and the absorption of 97 percent of the national workforce, but their participation in international trade is still low with only 14 percent involved in export activities. This research aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by MSMEs in accessing the global market and identify adaptation strategies developed by entrepreneurs. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was applied through in-depth interviews with 18 export-oriented MSME owners and managers in East Java who were selected by purposive sampling. Thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti revealed seven main challenges including limited access to capital, complexity of export regulations, constraints on production capacity and quality consistency, language and cross-cultural communication barriers, lack of international market information, logistics infrastructure problems, and intensive competition. On the other hand, four strategic opportunities were identified, namely increasing demand for sustainable authentic products, accelerating digitalization and e-commerce, utilizing free trade agreements, and ethical consumerism trends. MSMEs develop effective adaptation strategies in the form of strategic collaboration, product differentiation with  premium positioning, the use of digital technology, and a focus on  specific market niches. The research emphasizes that the successful internationalization of MSMEs requires a holistic approach integrating internal capacity building with the support of a conducive external ecosystem.

The shoe manufacturing industry demands a planned, integrated, and consistent production system in maintaining product quality. One of the crucial stages is the gluing process between the outsole (rubber) and the midsole (phylon), which determines the adhesive strength, comfort, and durability of the shoe. This study aims to analyze the implementation of internship activities in a series of gluing processes in the Stockfit Department of PT X. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through direct observation, involvement in production activities, and systematic field recording during the internship period. The analysis was carried out by linking the field findings with the operations management theory of Heizer and Render, the Crosby concept of quality management, and the principles of continuous improvement from Deming and Imai. The results of the study show that the gluing process has been systematically arranged, starting from material adjustment, primary application, the use of two types of glue, the rubber cutting process, to the final pasting. However, problems were found such as dependency between processes, inconsistency in glue thickness, as well as the influence of machine conditions and operator skills. These problems have the potential to reduce production efficiency and the quality of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen process control and apply the principle of continuous improvement to improve overall production performance.

Academic stress is a psychological pressure commonly experienced by final-year university students, particularly during the process of completing their undergraduate thesis. High academic demands, limited time, pressure to graduate on schedule, and various obstacles encountered during research may intensify students’ emotional burden. When left unmanaged, academic stress can escalate into more serious psychological problems, including suicidal ideation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic stress levels and suicidal ideation among final-year students at Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang. This research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 180 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments consisted of the Perceived Academic Stress (PAS) scale to measure academic stress levels and the Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ) to assess suicidal ideation. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of students experienced high (49.4%) and very high (47.8%) levels of academic stress. Meanwhile, suicidal ideation was most commonly found in the mild category (42.8%), followed by the no-risk category (28.9%). The statistical test indicated a significance value of p = 0.021 with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.172, demonstrating a positive and significant relationship between academic stress and suicidal ideation. These findings indicate that higher levels of academic stress are associated with an increased likelihood of suicidal thoughts among final-year students. The study highlights the importance of mental health support, academic guidance, and accessible counseling services to mitigate psychological distress and reduce the risk of suicidal ideation during the thesis completion period.

Ideally, final-year undergraduates are expected to demonstrate psychological maturity and a clear sense of future direction. However, the pressure of academic demands and social expectations often precipitates a "quarter-life crisis," triggering profound anxiety during this transitional phase. This study investigates the relationship between religiosity and the quarter life crisis among final-year students at Universitas Ibrahimy Situbondo. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 149 students selected via convenience sampling from a population of 237. Data were collected using the Religiosity Scale and the Quarter-Life Crisis Scale, then analyzed using simple linear regression with JASP version 0.19.1.0. Contrary to common assumptions in religious settings, the findings revealed that religiosity was not significantly associated with the quarter life crisis (p = .105 > .05). The effective contribution of religiosity in explaining the variance of the crisis was minimal (R2 = 0.018 or 1.8%), indicating that 98.2% of the phenomenon is driven by factors outside the scope of this study. These results suggest that religiosity is not a sole predictor capable of buffering against quarter life crisis. Consequently, further research should explore other potential mitigating variables, such as social support, self-efficacy, or career adaptability, particularly within Islamic boarding school-based university environments.

Psychology personnel in primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas) play a strategic role in delivering mental health services at the primary level; however, they are frequently confronted with complex and multifaceted job demands. This study aims to examine the effects of workload and work stress on the job performance of psychology personnel in Puskesmas in Surabaya City. A quantitative approach with a correlational cross-sectional design was employed. The study population comprised all psychology personnel working in Puskesmas in Surabaya City, with total sampling applied, resulting in 63 respondents. Workload and work stress were measured using five-point Likert scales, while job performance was assessed based on monthly psychology service reports. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the majority of psychology personnel experienced high workload levels and relatively high work stress, whereas overall job performance was predominantly categorized as good. Regression analysis revealed that workload and work stress simultaneously had a significant effect on job performance, and partially both variables exerted a negative effect on performance. These findings suggest that although psychology personnel are generally able to maintain adequate performance, excessive workload and elevated work stress may potentially undermine performance in the long term if not properly managed. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of systematic workload management and work stress intervention strategies to sustain the quality of psychological services in primary healthcare settings.
