This study examines the effectiveness of zakat distribution during the leadership of Umar bin Abdul Aziz and its relevance to poverty alleviation models in Indonesia. Structural poverty remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia’s economic development, requiring systematic and sustainable solutions. Within Islamic economic thought, zakat functions not only as a religious obligation but also as a fiscal instrument capable of promoting social welfare and economic independence. This research employs a qualitative approach through historical and literature study methods, analyzing classical Islamic governance practices alongside contemporary zakat management in Indonesia. The findings reveal that the success of zakat distribution under Umar bin Abdul Aziz was supported by centralized governance, strong institutional reform of Baitul Mal, strict supervision, and integrity-based leadership, resulting in effective wealth redistribution and significant poverty reduction. The study further finds that productive zakat distribution, institutional integration, regulatory reinforcement, and digital transparency are crucial elements for enhancing the performance of zakat institutions in Indonesia. The implications suggest that strengthening governance, accountability, and productive empowerment programs can transform zakat into a strategic socio-economic policy instrument capable of addressing structural poverty in a sustainable manner.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Village Fund (Dana Desa/DD) Program in Tote Village, Bolangitang Barat Subdistrict, North Bolaang Mongondow Regency. The study focuses on the implementation of the Village Fund policy as viewed from several aspects, namely (a) organizational capacity, (b) information dissemination, (c) community support, and (d) the distribution of village potential This study employed a qualitative, descriptive research approach Data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews with village officials and community members, supported by observation and documentation The results showed that the implementation of the Village Fund Program in Tote Village has not been fully optimal This is indicated by the lunited organizational capacity of village apparatus, uneven dissemination of information to the community, and relatively low community participation and support in several Village Fund programs. In addition, the distribution of village potential in program implementation has not been entirely well-targeted. Nevertheless, the Village Fund Program has contributed positively to infrastructure development and the economic empowerinent of the village community. It can be concluded that improving the implementation of the Village Fund Program requires strengthening village officials capacity, enhancing transparency and information dissemination, and actively involving the community in the planning, implementation, and supervision of the program.

From the perspective of criminal liability theory, criminal policy, and Islamic law, sexual gratification is a form of corruption. According to positive criminal law, a person can only be held liable when three essential elements are fulfilled: an unlawful act, culpability (dolus or culpa), and the capacity for responsibility. However, in the context of public office, sexual gratification constitutes an unlawful act because it involves the acceptance of non-fina. Since the acceptance of sexual services within a power relationship usually indicates awareness of reciprocal policy gains, purpose (dolus) is frequently dominating. From the perspective of criminal policy, the restriction of sexual gratification reflects the growth of corruption as a white collar crime—a term coined by Edwin H. Sutherland—where abuse of power encompasses intangible rewards in addition to monetary transfers. According to Islamic law, sexual enjoyment constitutes two violations: it may be considered risywah (bribery) because of its transactional motive, and it may also be considered jarimah zina if it takes place outside of a legally recognized marriage. Such behaviors compromise the protection of property, ancestry, and religion through the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah developed by Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi in Al-Muwafaqat. The study comes to the conclusion that in order to guarantee accountability, protect public integrity, and promote social welfare, it is imperative to develop legal interpretation and evidential procedures.

Indonesia harbors extraordinary linguistic diversity with over 700 regional languages representing approximately 10% of the world's languages within 1.3% of global land area. However, this diversity faces existential threat from language shift toward Indonesian, urbanization, education policies favoring the national language, and globalization. UNESCO classifies 146 Indonesian languages as endangered, with several dozen facing imminent extinction as last speakers age without intergenerational transmission. This study documents the current vitality status of Indonesian regional languages, analyzes factors driving language endangerment and shift, evaluates existing conservation efforts, and proposes evidence-based strategies for language revitalization and maintenance. A multi-phase approach was employed: vitality assessment of 150 regional languages using UNESCO's Language Vitality and Endangerment framework with surveys involving 2,400 speakers; ethnographic case studies in 12 speech communities; policy analysis; evaluation of 25 revitalization programs; and predictive modeling of language shift trajectories. Of 150 surveyed languages, only 23 (15.3%) classified as safe with robust intergenerational transmission; 48 (32.0%) were vulnerable; 42 (28.0%) definitely endangered; 28 (18.7%) severely endangered; and 9 (6.0%) critically endangered. Key endangerment drivers included Indonesian-only education (92.3% of schools), urban migration (67.8% of youth), negative language attitudes (54.2% of parents), and lack of written traditions (73.4% of languages lacking orthographies). Modeling projected that without intervention, 40% of currently vulnerable languages will become definitely endangered within 20 years. Successful revitalization demands community-owned interventions, mother-tongue-based multilingual education, new digital language domains, and attitude change campaigns. Indonesia's linguistic diversity represents invaluable cultural and scientific heritage requiring urgent, coordinated conservation action.

Indonesian Sign Language (Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia, BISINDO) is often misunderstood as merely a gestural or simplified form of communication, undermining its linguistic sophistication and contributing to barriers to deaf inclusion in Indonesia. Approximately 2.6 million deaf individuals in the country rely on BISINDO as their primary language. This study explores the linguistic complexity of BISINDO, documenting its phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic systems. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed 150 hours of BISINDO conversations from 80 deaf signers, conducted experimental studies on phonological distinctions and syntactic complexity, and performed ethnographic fieldwork in deaf communities and schools. Comparative analysis with American Sign Language (ASL) was also conducted. Our findings demonstrate that BISINDO is a fully developed natural language, with 45 handshapes, 18 locations, 23 movements, and 4 orientations in its phonological system. It shows productive morphological processes, flexible word order, and rich semantics, including idioms and metaphors. However, there are significant barriers to inclusion: 68% of deaf students lack qualified BISINDO teachers, and 84% of public services lack sign language interpreters. Furthermore, 72% of hearing Indonesians still do not recognize BISINDO as a legitimate language. Deaf community organizations, however, report BISINDO as central to their identity. The study highlights the need for policy reforms, including BISINDO recognition as an official language, qualified interpreters, bilingual deaf education, and public awareness campaigns to combat misconceptions.

More intensive coordination is expected to minimize operational constraints and drive service efficiency within the maritime industry.

The coal loading and unloading process is a crucial stage in maritime operational activities that requires effective coordination among vessel crews, stevedoring companies (PBM), and supporting service providers such as tugboats and cargo handling equipment. This study aims to analyze the implementation of coal loading and unloading operations using the ship-to-ship (STS) method on TB. ESA III by PBM PT. Adi Guna Putera Pangkalan Susu. The research employed field observation and library research methods to obtain relevant and accurate data. The results indicate that the ship-to-ship coal handling operation conducted by PBM PT. Adi Guna Putera Pangkalan Susu improves loading and unloading time efficiency, minimizes the risk of distribution delays, and enhances communication and coordination among involved parties. However, several technical challenges were identified, including adverse weather conditions, equipment limitations, and inadequate crew understanding of STS procedures. These constraints require mitigation through improved training programs, regular equipment maintenance, and strengthened occupational safety measures. Overall, the ship-to-ship coal handling method provides a positive contribution to the effectiveness of energy distribution, provided that it is supported by competent human resources and adequate operational facilities.

This paper was written with the aim of analyzing the role of stevedoring workers (TKBM) in loading and unloading activities carried out by the Loading and Unloading Company (PBM) FT. Gelora Perkasa Belawan. In collecting data, the author utilized two approaches, namely field research and library research. Labor efficiency is a key factor in increasing operational productivity in the port sector, however, various problems are often found such as delays, low productivity, and work inefficiencies caused by weak monitoring and performance monitoring systems. In this study, a qualitative approach was used through field methods and library methods, on the operational activities of TKBM in the company. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of structured work and periodic evaluations can improve work discipline, accelerate loading and unloading times, and reduce operational costs. In addition, the role of management in providing constructive feedback and periodic training has also proven effective in supporting labor efficiency. Thus, optimizing the role of TKBM will have a direct impact on improving the performance of PBM PT. Gelora Perkasa Belawan, which ultimately contributes to the smooth flow of goods and economic growth in the Belawan port area.

Hospitalization is a condition that requires a child to be admitted to the hospital. This situation causes children to experience anxiety, restlessness, and fear. One of the nursing interventions to reduce anxiety due to hospitalization is play therapy. A form of play therapy appropriate for preschool children is puzzle play therapy. Puzzle play therapy is an activity in which children arrange pieces of pictures or specific shapes to form a complete image. This therapy encourages children to develop patience, stimulates concentration, and provides feelings of comfort and enjoyment, thereby reducing anxiety. The method used in preparing this Final Nursing Scientific Paper was a descriptive case study with the implementation of puzzle play therapy. The respondents consisted of three children experiencing anxiety due to hospitalization. Puzzle play materials and the Facial Image Scale (FIS) were used as measurement tools. The intervention was conducted over three consecutive days, with a duration of 15 minutes per session. The results showed a decrease in anxiety levels after puzzle play therapy: respondent 1 decreased from anxiety scale 5 to scale 1, respondent 2 from scale 4 to scale 1, and respondent 3 from scale 5 to scale 1. It can be concluded that puzzle play therapy is effective in reducing anxiety due to hospitalization in preschool children with dengue hemorrhagic fever. The implementation of puzzle play therapy is expected to become a routine nursing intervention to reduce hospitalization-related anxiety in preschool children with dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Sexual violence against children in Jambi City continues to show a fluctuating trend, with 32 cases in 2022, decreasing to 24 in 2023, and increasing again to 33 in 2024. This condition emphasizes the importance of strengthening cross-sector case handling between the UPTD PPA Jambi City and the Jambi Police in cases of sexual violence against children. This study aims to analyze the division of labor between the two institutions using the coordination theory according to Hasibuan (2006), which includes indicators of unity of action, communication, division of labor, and discipline. The method used is a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, documentation, and data triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The results show that coordination between the UPTD PPA Jambi City and the Jambi Police has generally been running well, especially in the aspects of unity of action and discipline, as reflected in the alignment of goals and a fairly rapid response in handling cases. Communication between the two agencies has also been ongoing through formal and informal channels to expedite case response. The division of labor has been aligned with each agency's respective authority, with the UPTD PPA focusing on victim assistance and psychological support, while the police handle law enforcement. However, the lack of formal SOPs and MoUs poses a barrier to strengthening sustainable institutional integration. The implications of this research emphasize the need to strengthen formal mechanisms, regular evaluation forums, and formal cooperation agreements to enhance effective coordination and comprehensive protection for child victims.

Social conflicts experienced by indigenous peoples in Yahukimo Regency, Papua Pegunungan, reveal the vulnerability of civilians due to violence, displacement, and weak protection of basic rights in situations of prolonged conflict. These conditions indicate a gap between conflict management policies and the real needs of indigenous peoples for justice, peace, and social recovery. This study aims to analyze the role of the church in responding to social conflicts experienced by indigenous peoples in Yahukimo Regency. This study was conducted using qualitative methods through a descriptive-analytical approach based on literature studies and analysis of the socio-religious context of Papua. This study confirms that the church has a strategic role as an agent of peace and a prophetic voice in defending the dignity and rights of indigenous peoples amid social conflict. The results of the study show that the church's involvement in pastoral counseling, humanitarian advocacy, and peace awareness building contributes to strengthening the social resilience of indigenous peoples. The study concludes that the role of the church needs to be directed in a more contextual and sustainable manner in order to promote fair and dignified conflict resolution. The recommendations of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening the role of the church in peace dialogue and cross-stakeholder cooperation for the social recovery of indigenous peoples in Yahukimo.

This study analyzes the concept of al-Kasb in the view of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani and assesses the relationship between this concept and contemporary work ethics. With the changes in the modern economic system, which emphasize efficiency, objective rationality, and the achievement of optimal results, various ethical conflicts in the professional and business world have become more apparent. The methodology applied in this study is a literature review with a descriptive-analytic approach, through the analysis of classical and contemporary texts to explore the theological, ethical, and social aspects contained in the concept of al-Kasb, and then conceptually compare it with the characteristics of modern work ethics. The findings of this study show that al-Kasb is not only understood as an economic activity aimed at accumulating wealth, but also as a normative guide that integrates the goals of worship, ethical responsibility, and social obligations in the production process. Work activities are viewed as an individual responsibility that supports the practice of worship and as a collective responsibility to maintain social-economic welfare and harmony. Therefore, al-Kasb provides an integrative ethical foundation that has the potential to enrich and strengthen current work ethics by emphasizing values of integrity, justice, and social responsibility in the economic aspects of life.

This study examines the role of local governments in improving the quality of public services as part of an initiative to achieve responsive governance that prioritizes the public interest. This study departs from the limitations of previous research, which tends to focus on the technical aspects of service quality, while the strategic role of local governments as the primary actors in improving the quality of public services remains underexplored. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of local governments in improving the quality of public services and identify factors influencing the optimization of this role. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach through a literature review analyzing various secondary sources such as scientific books, national and international journals, regulations, and reports from relevant official institutions. The study findings indicate that local governments play a significant role in improving the quality of public services through three main dimensions: a community-focused service orientation, technology-based service innovation, and strengthening inclusive and collaborative service management. The integration of these three dimensions supports more efficient, transparent, and responsive public services to community needs. This research provides a conceptual contribution to the field of public administration, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the role of local governments as a key factor in sustainably improving the quality of public services.

The IV infusion process will cause pain that can be disturbing for children. Pain is a form of uncomfortable sensation that is felt personally by each individual. In addition, there will be changes in vital signs such as increased pulse, blood pressure, and respiration so that it will be an unpleasant experience for children. Non-pharmacological therapy as an intervention to reduce pain perception in children and increase comfort during medical procedures. One form of non-pharmacological technique is audio visual distraction using a smart book. Smart books are fun and interactive play therapy that can support cognitive, fine motor, and sensory aspects in children and to divert children's attention from pain by displaying more pleasant and interesting images and musical sounds so that it can reduce the pain scale after IV installation. The design used in the preparation of this Final Scientific Paper for Nurses is a case study with an intervention in the form of audio visual distraction using a smart book for ± 10 minutes. The number of respondents was 3 people, the intervention was carried out on September 14, October 7, and November 24, 2025, located in the Theresia Charitas Hospital Palembang room. After the smart book audio visual distraction therapy, there was a decrease in the pain scale for 3 respondents, namely in An. A from a pain scale of 7 to a pain scale of 4, An. G from a pain scale of 10 to a pain scale of 4, and An. R from a pain scale of 7 to a pain scale of 4. The application of EBP smart book audio visual distraction therapy can be used to reduce the pain scale in preschoolers after IV installation.

Hypertension contributes to numerous complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and is a risk factor of disability and death. Hypertension Prevalence in Jatinangor is 37.8%, that is higher than national rate. The control of hypertension is low and the education at the primary health facility is short. Therefore, another buffer system for education such as posbindu is needed. Activities that educate people with hypertension become very important, but need to be adjusted as needs. Aim of this study is to determine form and intensity of education preferred by hypertension patients Method: Qualitative descriptive with case study approach using focused group discussion (FGD) method, led by main moderator and assisted by a second moderator. Participants consisted of 15 people with hypertension chosen purposively with the inclusion criterias female and parallel to the research objective. The discussion used semi-structured questions. This study is conducted in two villages in Jatinangor, Desa Cipacing and Desa Cilayung from February to May 2017. Results: Participants wanted education in the form of traditional learning, game simulation, written notes, and video recording. The intensity of education preferred until patients understand, it tends to be performed more than once, and preferred place are performed within Posyandu (Integrated Health and Nutrition Post) with education frequency varies from once a week to once a month. Conclusion: Hypertension patients have variable preference of education forms and its intensity. Innovations in the development of methods in accordance with hypertension patients’ needs must be continued, so that interventions can become more effective for hypertension patients.

Three-phase induction motors are essential components in industrial cooling systems that require reliable overcurrent protection to maintain operational continuity and prevent equipment damage. In the Cooling Tower Pump panel at PT DongJin Indonesia, a limitation was identified where the terminal of the Electronic Overcurrent Relay (EOCR) could not accommodate the 50 mm² power cable, preventing direct current measurement. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating a 200:5 A Current Transformer (CT) with the EOCR as an adaptive protection solution that is both safe and efficient. The research employs a case study approach through field observation, motor current measurement using a Fluke 303 Clamp Meter, and descriptive analysis of the recorded data. The results indicate that the three motors operate under stable load conditions, with current values ranging from 236.7 A to 275.7 A, while the secondary current detected by the EOCR ranges from 3.7 A to 3.9 A, consistent with the CT transformation ratio. During the starting phase, the current surged to 600.4 A without causing false tripping, demonstrating that the EOCR effectively distinguishes temporary inrush current from actual fault conditions. Therefore, the integration of CT–EOCR is proven to enhance measurement safety, maintain motor operational stability, and support efficient system maintenance in industrial environments.

This study aims to determine the application of a mind-mapping Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model to the human digestive system in improving creative thinking skills and creativity in eighth-grade students at SMP Dakwah Pekanbaru. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. The subjects consisted of eighth-grade students at SMP Dakwah Pekanbaru. The research instruments included a creative thinking skills test, a product creativity assessment sheet, and learning documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the N-gain test, the Wilcoxon test, and the Spearman correlation test. The results showed an increase in students' creative thinking skills after implementing the mind-mapping-based PjBL model, as indicated by an increase in the average posttest score compared to the pretest and a low to moderate N-gain score. Furthermore, students' product creativity was in the good category and had a significant relationship with their creative thinking skills. Thus, implementing the mind-mapping-based PjBL model is effective in improving students' creative thinking skills and creativity in the human digestive system.

Industrial development in Indonesia has significantly contributed to national economic growth; however, it also poses potential risks of environmental pollution when corporate waste management is not conducted properly. Environmental pollution resulting from corporate waste activities may cause harm to surrounding communities, including health problems, ecosystem degradation, as well as material and immaterial losses. In this context, the class action mechanism serves as a relevant legal instrument to collectively advocate for the rights of affected communities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the class action mechanism in environmental pollution cases based on Decision Number 29/Pdt.G/2023/PN.Skh and to evaluate its effectiveness in providing legal protection and restoring the rights of affected communities. This research employs normative legal research using statute approach, case approach, and conceptual approach. The findings indicate that the class action mechanism in the aforementioned decision fulfilled the requirements of numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy of representation as regulated under Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 1 of 2002. Procedurally, the class action proved effective in enhancing access to justice, ensuring judicial efficiency, and strengthening the protection of the constitutional right to a good and healthy environment. However, its substantive effectiveness remains dependent on the fulfillment of formal requirements, the quality of evidence presented, and the consistent application of environmental law principles by judges. Therefore, the class action mechanism constitutes an important instrument in environmental law enforcement, yet it requires consistent regulatory support and judicial practice to achieve optimal ecological justice.

In contemporary higher education, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is increasingly expected to prepare learners for meaningful professional participation rather than isolated linguistic performance. Nevertheless, ESP pedagogy has often remained predominantly skill-oriented, with limited conceptual integration of pedagogical innovations such as project-based learning and digital learning. This study presents a systematic literature review of 40 peer-reviewed studies examining how ESP pedagogy is being reframed as situated professional practice through the integration of project-based and digital learning. Following the process of thematic synthesis, the review provides an examination of what ESP learning is perceived to be, how it is conducted and how it is evaluated in different disciplines and countries. Results show a marked pedagogical transition from a language-centric approach to one that incorporated more authenticity, collaboration and professional concern. Reported learning attainments go beyond language to cover professional capability, digital literacy, autonomous learning and identity development. Project-based learning authenticates language use in professional workflows, and digital learning environments support multimodal communication reminiscent of the way people work today. This review contends that in combination, these perspectives re-conceptualise the pedagogical nature of ESP as a type of applied professional education ’realised’ within particular social, institutional and discipline specific contexts. By synthesizing empirical evidence across settings, the study offers a conceptual reframing of ESP pedagogy and outlines implications for curriculum design, assessment, and future research in higher education and the social humanities.
