The development of social media as a space for disseminating information has presented opportunities as well as challenges in religious learning for students. TikTok, as a digital platform that is popular among the younger generation, provides a variety of Islamic content with the theme of fiqh and morals that have the potential to affect users' religious understanding. This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic content on TikTok with the theme of fiqh and morals on the religious knowledge of students of the PAI Study Program UIN Palopo. The research method used a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis of 268 respondents selected through random sampling techniques. The results of the study show that the content of fiqh has a positive and significant effect on students' religious knowledge, so that content that contains explanations of the laws of worship can improve religious understanding. Moral content has also proven to be significant, especially because of the presentation of moral values that are simple and relevant to student life. Simultaneously, the two variables contributed 61.3% to the increase in religious knowledge. These findings confirm that TikTok plays a role as an effective informal learning medium, although the limitations of the duration of the content make the understanding formed not always deep. This research implies the need to strengthen digital literacy and students' critical attitudes in filtering religious content so that the understanding obtained is more comprehensive and accurate.

This study aims to analysis the impact of the presence of coal transport parking areas on the Income of the Informal Sector, identify the most dominant factors influencing Income, and examine the socio-economic impact experienced by informal sector business actors in Muara Tembesi District. This study uses a quantitative approach with Multiple Linear Regression analysis and Classical Assumption Tests to test the hypotheses. Data were obtained through surveys of informal sector business owners around the parking areas. The dependent variable is Income, while the independent variables include Age, Education, Working Hours, Initial Capital, and Distance. Comparative descriptive analysis is used to validate socio-economic changes. Data analysis shows that working hours, initial capital, and distance have a positive and significant impact on the income of informal sector business actors, whereas age and education do not significantly affect the income of informal sector business actors. Descriptively, there has been massive welfare migration, indicated by the decrease in the proportion of low-income respondents from 60 percent to only 2 percent after the intervention. The presence of parking pockets has been proven to provide a positive and transformative economic impact for the informal sector. This impact is driven by increased production inputs (Capital and Working Hours). On the other hand, logistics activities generate negative external impacts in the form of dust pollution and security risks, which require strict regulation by the Local Government.

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has significantly transformed consumer shopping behavior, including in the local skincare segment such as Scarlett, which is widely marketed through Shopee. This research is motivated by issues related to price fluctuations, inconsistent promotional activities, and consumer concerns regarding product authenticity that may influence purchasing decisions. The study aims to analyze the influence of price, promotion, and trust on the purchase decision of Scarlett skincare products on the Shopee platform, both partially and simultaneously. Using a quantitative approach with a causal design, this research involved 108 respondents who had purchased Scarlett products through Shopee. Data were collected using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through JASP, including validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that all items are valid and reliable, and the regression model meets classical assumptions. The regression equation Y = 4.145 + 0.303X₁ + 0.178X₂ + 0.178X₃ indicates significant effects of all variables with p < 0.05. Partially, price, promotion, and trust positively and significantly influence purchasing decisions, while the F-test confirms a simultaneous effect. Furthermore, the R² value of 0.607 demonstrates that the three variables explain 60.7% of the variation in purchasing decisions. The findings suggest that price is the most dominant factor, followed by promotion and trust. This study offers empirical insights into consumer behavior toward local skincare products within the e-commerce ecosystem and provides strategic recommendations for sellers and platforms to optimize pricing strategies, promotional activities, and trust-building efforts.

Good ratings can lower perceived risk, increase trust, and encourage consumers to make purchases, especially on e-commerce platforms.This research emphasizes the importance of pricing strategies, improving promotional quality, and managing product reviews and ratings as efforts to increase consumer interest and purchase decisions.

This study aims to analyze the effect of inflation, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), and the Provincial Minimum Wage (PMW) on the poverty line in 10 provinces in Indonesia. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis. The data utilized in this study consist of panel data covering a 10-year period, from 2015 to 2024, obtained from the Provincial Offices of Statistics and Statistics Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik/BPS). To examine the relationship between variables across regions and over time, the fixed effect model is applied in the analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that inflation and GRDP do not have a statistically significant effect on the poverty line in the 10 provinces examined. These findings suggest that although inflation and GRDP are important macroeconomic indicators, their variations during the study period were not sufficient to directly influence changes in the poverty line across the provinces. In contrast, the Provincial Minimum Wage (PMW) is found to have a significant effect on the poverty line. This result implies that increases in the minimum wage play a crucial role in improving household purchasing power, which can contribute to reducing poverty levels. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of wage policy as an effective instrument for poverty alleviation at the provincial level. While broader economic growth and price stability remain important, policies related to minimum wage determination appear to have a more direct and measurable impact on poverty conditions. Therefore, policymakers are encouraged to consider wage policies alongside other macroeconomic strategies to achieve more effective poverty reduction outcomes.

This research employed a quantitative approach using purposive sampling, involving 152 respondents who were active customers of USD Bundle. Data were analyzed through classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, and F-test using SPSS 25. The results indicate that brand image, location, and price each have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. Simultaneously, these variables also show a positive and significant impact, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.954, meaning that 95.4% of the variation in purchase intention is explained by brand image, location, and price. These findings highlight that a strong brand image, strategic location, and competitive pricing play essential roles in increasing customer purchase intention in thrifting businesses, particularly within urban environments such as Kediri City.

This study aims to analyze the effect of government expenditure and Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD) on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Surabaya City during the period 2014–2022. The background of the study stems from the crucial role of regional fiscal policy in promoting economic growth and the observed mismatch between the increase in regional expenditure and PAD with the development of GRDP. The research employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis based on time-series data obtained from BPS and DJPK. The findings show that government expenditure and PAD simultaneously have a significant effect on GRDP. Partially, government expenditure has a positive and significant effect, while PAD has a positive but not significant effect on GRDP. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.998 indicates that both variables can explain most of the variation in GRDP. These results confirm that government expenditure is the dominant fiscal instrument in driving economic growth in Surabaya, while the contribution of PAD still needs to be strengthened to effectively enhance fiscal capacity and stimulate productive economic activities. This study is expected to serve as a reference for local governments in formulating more targeted budget policies

This study aims to model the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in East Nusa Tenggara Province using truncated spline nonparametric regression. In this study, IMR is associated with four predictor variables: the percentage of poor people, the percentage of pregnant women under 19 years of age, low birth weight, and life expectancy. These four variables have an unpatterned relationship, indicating the presence of a nonparametric component in the model. The truncated spline regression method was chosen because of its ability to handle nonlinear relationships between variables. The results showed that the best model was obtained using three knot points, which produced a coefficient of determination (R²) of 97.47%. This indicates that the truncated spline regression model is able to explain 97.47% of the variation in IMR in East Nusa Tenggara Province. In addition, the four predictor variables have a significant influence on the model, making a significant contribution in explaining the factors that influence IMR in the region.

Partially, profitability tends to be positive, sales growth tends to be negative but not significant with respect to debt policy, while liquidity has a simultaneous negative effect. Of the four hypotheses proposed, two were accepted, and two were rejected because the direction of the influence did not match the initial assumption, and the significance value was more than 0.05.

Abstract. This study aims to determine the effect of Good Governance and Fund Management on Public Trust in the City of Surabaya, especially in the Kemayoran Village community. This study uses a quantitative method with an explanatory approach, where data are obtained through distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents who have interacted with public services. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that Good Governance and Fund Management simultaneously have a significant effect on Public Trust, as evidenced by the results of the F test with a significance value of <0.05. Partially, the Fund Management variable has a positive and significant effect on Public Trust, while the Good Governance variable has a positive but insignificant effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.658 indicates that 65.8% of the variation in Public Trust is explained by these two variables. This finding indicates that transparency and accountability in public budget management are dominant factors in increasing public trust, while the implementation of Good Governance principles has not been fully perceived as effective by the public. Thus, optimizing the quality of fund management is an important strategy to strengthen government legitimacy in the eyes of the public.
