Ambalat waters are the waters that are the center of attention on the border between Malaysia and Indonesia, have long been a source of potential conflict between the two countries. Maritime security in this region is very important, especially in the context of the defense and maritime security of the National Capital. The relocation of the National Capital of Jakarta to the National Capital of the Archipelago which has been planned by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the selection of the appropriate type of KRI to prepare for maritime defense and security in the Ambalat waters. This analysis considers various threat factors, operational patterns, and the selection of the type of KRI. We consider various technical aspects in the form of specifications, capabilities, KRI leases and are faced with the priority of High, Medium, Low threats and alternatives for selecting the type of KRI under the Escort Ship Unit (SATKOR), Fast Ship Unit (SATKAT), Submarine Unit (SATSEL). With a quantitative research method, interviews were conducted with experts to determine the threats and alternatives that were prioritized and the calculation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) using Microsoft Excel to determine recommendations for selecting the type of KRI. The results of quantitative research show the priority of criteria that will later be narrowed down to the priority of selecting the type of KRI from various alternative choices and reviewed from the degree of threat analyzed by the researcher. Theoretically, previous theories and research can be used in this study so that they can be utilized in further research. The results of this study, the criteria that are prioritized are KRI Specifications with an assessment weight of 0.3367982, while the priority of the threat that is prioritized is the High threat with an assessment weight of 0.73127143 and the alternative KRI that is the main choice is the Eskorta Ship Unit with an assessment weight of 0.556293057.

This study aims to analyze the use of Google Translate in translating Arabic text into Indonesian. The aim is to examine translation accuracy, precision, and the relationship between translation and meaning. A descriptive qualitative method was used to explore the phenomenon in its specific context. Data were taken from classical and modern Arabic texts. The findings show that although Google Translate has seen improvements, it still faces some challenges. These include word-for-word translation, lack of understanding of cultural context, and gender terminology issues. While Google Translate can be a useful tool, it cannot completely replace human translators, especially in translating adverbs and complex grammatical structures. This research emphasizes the importance of translation quality and the role of digital tools in translation. By learning to use these tools effectively, users can improve their translation skills and enhance their ability to communicate across languages. Thus, while machine translation offers convenience and speed, human insight remains essential to achieve nuance, clarity and contextually appropriate meaning in Arabic-Indonesian translation.

Data architecture is a framework that structures and manages data flows in an organization so that they can be used optimally to support data-based decision-making processes. The right design in data architecture ensures that data can be stored, accessed, processed, and analyzed efficiently. The main components in data architecture include data sources, storage systems, data processing, data integration, and analytics. In addition, aspects of security and data quality management also play an important role in maintaining data integrity and confidentiality. In the context of an ever-evolving business, data architecture must be able to adapt to changing organizational needs and existing technologies, as well as provide scalable and flexible solutions. Therefore, good data architecture management is a key factor in achieving operational efficiency and competitive advantage in the digital era.

This study examines the voluntary choice of remaining childfree from the viewpoint of Maqāṣid al-Syāri’ah to evaluate its compatibility with Islamic family law in Indonesia. Recent demographic trends indicate a rising proportion of adults opting not to have children due to economic, environmental, and personal considerations . Using a doctrinal–normative approach, the paper analyzes primary sources (al-Muwāfaqāt and Qur’ān) alongside contemporary fatwās and scholarly opinions. Findings reveal that while Maqāṣid al-Syāri’ah underscores procreation (ḥifz al-nasl) as a darūriyyah objective, exceptions emerge under medical and sociocultural exigencies (ḥājiyyah), permitting temporary or consensual contraceptive measures. However, permanent sterilization methods (vasektomi/tubektomi) largely remain impermissible except in cases of dire necessity (ḍarūrah) . The study recommends that Islamic legal institutions develop nuanced guidelines balancing reproductive rights with Shariah objectives and societal welfare.

This study explores the complexity of ikrar talak (divorce declaration) that does not comply with Indonesia's positive legal framework and its impact on the legal protection of wives and children. Although the Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) regulate the formal procedures for divorce, verbal divorce declarations outside the court remain prevalent, causing legal uncertainty and harm to vulnerable parties. This research employs a normative juridical method, focusing on legal statutes and Islamic legal principles. The findings reveal the urgent need for harmonization between Islamic law and positive law to ensure justice and optimal protection, especially for women and children. Major obstacles include low legal literacy, social acceptance of verbal talak, and limited access to judicial institutions. The study proposes strengthening the role of religious courts, enhancing public legal education, and applying the maqashid sharia approach to safeguard fundamental rights. A holistic legal reform is necessary to ensure that the ikrar talak process adheres to formal legal standards while protecting vulnerable groups.

In the digital era, marketing communication must dynamically adapt to technological developments and shifts in consumer behavior. Social media, interactive content, and data-driven marketing have become essential components of modern strategies. Social media platforms not only serve promotional purposes but also enable direct engagement, feedback collection, and the strengthening of emotional connections with consumers. Visual content such as videos and photos of urban farming activities help expand outreach and raise public awareness. This study aims to analyze the marketing communication strategies that strengthen urban farming programs in Mangunsari Village, Salatiga City, using a qualitative approach. The findings reveal that urban farming actors actively utilize multiple communication platforms—both written and digital—to promote their initiatives. Key strategies include publishing features on digital platforms such as Kompasiana.com and optimizing social media to showcase cultivation and harvest activities. Furthermore, the support from local administrative officials plays a vital role in enhancing marketing communication efforts. Policy guidance and facilitation of interactions with external stakeholders create broader networking opportunities. This success story illustrates that a synergy between creative communication strategies and institutional support can effectively promote urban farming as a community-based solution for improving local welfare through the use of local wisdom.

The growth of population and rapid urbanization in metropolitan areas have triggered a significant increase in waste volume, including in the city of Bandung. This study aims to analyze the implementation of waste management policies using the Soft System Methodology (SSM), particularly through the CATWOE analysis framework. The research was conducted in three sub-districts with distinct characteristics—Coblong, Arcamanik, and Cinambo through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and field observations. The findings reveal that programs such as Kang Pisman and TPS3R face major challenges related to public participation, cross-sectoral coordination, and limited resources. The CATWOE analysis identifies the need for system improvement by considering the perspectives of all stakeholders: the community (Customer), technical implementers (Actor), policy makers (Owner), and external environmental factors (Environment) that influence the effectiveness of waste management policies.
