This study evaluates the impact of TATO, ROA, DER, stock returns, and firm size on company value (PBV) for 28 infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2023. The background to this research is the crucial role of the infrastructure sector amid government budget dynamics that affect corporate performance and investor perception. The results show that ROA, DER, and stock returns have a significant positive effect on company value. This indicates that high profitability, optimal debt management, and good stock returns send positive signals to the market. Conversely, TATO was found to have a significant negative effect, reflecting that inefficiencies in asset management can reduce investor confidence. Meanwhile, firm size had no significant impact on company value. This study recommends that investors use ROA, DER, and stock return as key indicators in decision-making. At the same time, companies are advised to optimise profitability and debt management to enhance their value in the eyes of investors.

This study aims to analyze the change in word choice in Indonesian children's songs from the classical to modern times as a reflection of the shift in the social environment in the digital era. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method on eight children's songs, consisting of four classic songs by A. T. Mahmud and four popular modern songs on digital platforms such as YouTube. The results showed that classical songs highlight concrete and local vocabulary that describe children's closeness to nature, family, and moral values, while modern songs are dominated by global, repetitive, and phonetic vocabulary that reflect the influence of globalization and the digital lifestyle of today's children. In addition, modern songs tend to contain simple expressions that are easy to remember, but have minimal educational value compared to classical songs that are more loaded with moral messages. This shift shows that the language in children's songs not only serves as a medium of entertainment, but also reflects the changing social and cultural values of Indonesian society. Therefore, the study of children's song language is important to understand the dynamics of popular cultural development that affects the process of character formation of the younger generation.

The purpose of this study is to use the Theory of Islamic Good Corporate Governance (IGCG) methodology to determine the elements that affect muzakki's faith in paying zakat through zakat institutions. Based on earlier research and literature, this study examines the relationship between the degree of muzakki trust and Islamic values such amanah (accountability), tabligh (transparency), fatanah (competence), and religiosity. Furthermore, additional elements like reputation, contentment, and service quality are examined as significant factors in establishing trust. The findings demonstrate that the majority of earlier research discovered a strong positive correlation between these factors and muzakki trust. Nonetheless, there are conflicting findings on the factors of openness and accountability, which in certain research actually indicate a detrimental impact. This discrepancy highlights the necessity for more study to reevaluate these two factors' roles in the context of zakat management. Theoretically, the adoption of Islamic Good Corporate Governance should boost muzakki involvement in zakat contributions by enhancing accountability, transparency, and public trust in zakat administration organizations.

This research investigates the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), along with Capital Intensity, Company Scale, and Profitability, on practices of Tax Evasion within energy firms registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2022 to 2024. The matter of tax evasion endures as a major concern, given its effects on government funds and business openness. By employing a quantitative method featuring a causal-associative structure, the study empirically explores the links between these factors. Information from secondary sources, including yearly reports and sustainability documents, was collected and examined through multiple linear regression analysis via IBM SPSS version 26. The findings show that CSR exerts a positive and meaningful influence on Tax Evasion, whereas Capital Intensity and Company Scale demonstrate positive influences that lack significance. In opposition, Profitability displays a negative and meaningful effect on Tax Evasion. As a whole, the independent factors together exert a significant influence on tax evasion behaviors. These outcomes strengthen agency and legitimacy theories, implying that CSR initiatives could function as a tool for securing legitimacy in handling tax duties while promoting long-term corporate adherence to fiscal obligations.

Gender mainstreaming (PUG) is a development strategy that integrates gender equality as a key principle in planning and budgeting. The city of Semarang has adopted this approach in various policy documents; however, its implementation still faces significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the achievement of the seven prerequisites for PUG according to the guidelines from the Ministry of PPPA, including commitment, policies, institutional frameworks, resources, sex-disaggregated data, gender analysis tools (GAP and GBS), and community participation. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews, document studies, and questionnaires. Key informants include local government organizations (OPDs) and civil society representatives. Data analysis is carried out using Miles & Huberman's interactive model with thematic analysis. The findings show that normative prerequisites such as policies and institutional frameworks are in place, but implementation remains weak, particularly in the use of sex-disaggregated data and the application of GAP-GBS. Supporting factors for success include leadership commitment from specific OPDs and the existence of cross-sector coordination forums, while the main obstacles are limited human resource capacity and insufficient gender-responsive budget allocation. This study reinforces the relevance of policy implementation theory in bridging the gap between normative frameworks and operational practices. Recommendations include ongoing training, mainstreaming sex-disaggregated data, and technical regulations that all OPDs must follow to enhance the effectiveness of PUG.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a metabolic disorder that is increasingly prevalent among the productive-age population and can significantly impair quality of life, particularly due to its progressive nature and often asymptomatic presentation in the early stages. Routine assessments of kidney function—such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine levels—are essential for the early detection of kidney impairment. The Community Service Program (PKM) conducted in Grogol Village aimed to raise public awareness regarding the importance of early screening for kidney dysfunction. Among the 71 participants involved in the activity, 9 individuals (12.68%) had elevated serum creatinine levels, 4 individuals (5.63%) showed evidence of stage 3a kidney function decline, and 31 individuals (43.66%) were identified with stage 2 kidney function decline. Only 36 participants (50.7%) had normal kidney function. These results underscore the necessity of early detection efforts to prevent the progression of CKD and to promote sustained public awareness on the importance of maintaining kidney and metabolic health.   Keywords: Chronic Kidney Disease, Creatinine, eGFR, Early Detection, Productive Age

This study aims to determine how effective the fermentation process is carried out by the microorganism Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a soluble sugar medium, and how the sugar concentration affects the volume of carbon dioxide gas produced. The fermentation process was observed using a balloon as a simple indicator to measure the gas produced. The study was conducted with an experimental approach at MI Jamiyatul Mubtadiin, using three variations of sugar concentration: 10%, 15%, and 20%. The results showed that the higher the sugar concentration, the more carbon dioxide gas was formed. This shows that S. cerevisiae is able to utilize sugar efficiently to produce gas in the fermentation process. In addition to providing scientific understanding, this study is also associated with legal, religious, and philosophical values, thus providing a broader perspective on the application of fermentation in everyday life and education.

The entry of the Wahabi group has an impact on various religious activities, especially the Amaliah of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah, some conditions in the affected community are their unwillingness to carry out tahlilan, maulidan, talqin and this also has an impact on the decline in public trust in religious figures who continue to uphold the aqidah of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah. Gunung Tabur District, Berau Regency is an area with a significant impact of the Wahabi group. Their lack of knowledge about the evidence or basics of the Amaliah of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah resulted in the Gunung Tabur sub-district community, which initially mostly carried out the Amaliah, decreasing drastically, one of which was the reading of the maulid, due to limited human resources to preach to fortify the community from this, reducing interest in carrying out the Amaliah above. The Arbain Assembly utilizes the moment of the month of Maulid as a moment for training and mentoring carried out by going to the community from house to house or from village to village by studying the books of scholars who explain the basics of the Amaliah of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah.

Pancasila is the foundation of the Indonesian state, therefore Pancasila is very important in everyday life, and the existence of Pancasila can make the Indonesian nation have guiding principles for recognizing and resolving social, political, legal, cultural and other problems. The values ​​that Pancasila has are good values. Therefore, the values ​​of Pancasila for Indonesian people in their activities are very important, and must be instilled into the souls of every community in Indonesia. In this era of globalization, Pancasila values ​​are starting to fade. This situation can be observed from the emergence of various kinds of problems arising from the non-application of the values ​​of Pancasila, and if they are not immediately addressed, it is possible that the values ​​of Pancasila or the meaning of Pancasila itself will disappear. This research aims to show how important it is to strengthen Pancasila values ​​in the era of globalization, and the method used in this research is the interview method or what is usually called an interview.

Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) is one of the indicators used in Indonesia to assess the risk of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in pregnant women and adult women. Chronic lack of energy for a long time causes the immune system to decrease so that the body is susceptible to infectious diseases, the decreased ability to concentrate which occurs is related to a decrease in iron stores. Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) measurement aims to analyze the relationship between Upper Arm Circumference (LILA) and the incidence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) in students at the Faculty of Public Health, Halu Oleo University. The method used is data analysis, involving measuring LILA and collecting data regarding nutritional status and factors that have the potential to influence KEK. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between LILA size and the incidence of CED. Of the 50 respondents studied, 52% experienced CED with a LILA size of less than 23.5 cm, which indicates the existence of serious nutritional problems among this population. It is hoped that this research will provide useful information for universities and health workers in efforts to prevent and treat nutritional problems among students.
