Sharia financial literacy is an important aspect in supporting inclusive and sustainable economic development. However, the level of sharia financial literacy among Indonesian society is still relatively low. This condition creates opportunities for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to play a strategic role in improving young generations’ understanding of financial management based on sharia principles. Therefore, this community service activity aimed to enhance the sharia financial literacy and inclusion of students through the SAKINAH (Santri Cakap Literasi Keuangan Syariah) Program at Nurul Abshor Islamic Boarding School, Katingan Regency. The program was implemented using a participatory educational approach through socialization, interactive discussions, simple simulations, and participant evaluations. The activity was carried out through collaboration among the Financial Services Authority (OJK) of Central Kalimantan Province, the Islamic Economic Society of Katingan Regency, PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Palangka Raya, Nurul Abshor Islamic Boarding School, the Regional Financial Access Acceleration Team of Katingan Regency, and students of Palangka Raya University. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the importance of saving, the ability to distinguish between needs and wants, sharia financial management, and knowledge of legal and trustworthy sharia financial products and services. The SAKINAH Program was also considered effective in encouraging students to become agents of sharia financial literacy within the pesantren environment and the wider community.

This community service study investigates a marketing training program implemented by theology students of STT Kadesi Bogor at the GPIA Sidoasri congregation in Sumbermanjing Wetan District, Malang Regency, East Java. The program targeted eighteen women members of the congregation to improve their economic capacity through the marketing of low-cost everyday clothing via three channels: door-to-door sales, a small storefront at the church, and online commerce through TikTok. The study applied a pre- test/post-test design evaluated using the Normalized Gain (N-Gain) method to measure changes in knowledge and skill across five indicators: marketing knowledge, selling skills, online media usage, basic financial recording, and entrepreneurial motivation. Results indicated a moderate-to-high N-Gain across all measured indicators, with an average N-Gain score of 0.656 (moderate category), and the highest individual gain in entrepreneurial motivation (0.76, high category). Sales data over the three-month period (January–March 2025) recorded a total profit of Rp1,967,500 across 345 garments sold, representing an income supplement of approximately 27–35% relative to participants' baseline household income for the most active participants. A marked sales decline in February and March was attributed to seasonal demand shifts ahead of Eid al-Fitr, as consumers redirected purchases toward formal Muslim attire. The program demonstrated that congregation-based economic empowerment rooted in a biblical theology of work, stewardship, and the dignity of labor can yield measurable and holistic socioeconomic outcomes for Christian women in rural communities.

Penelitian ini mengkaji upaya pemberdayaan terhadap kaum muda remaja di GPT Kristus Kasih Ukui, Kabupaten Pelalawan, Riau, melalui tiga dimensi utama, yaitu pendampingan pastoral, pembinaan rohani, dan pembekalan pelayanan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memahami sejauh mana gereja lokal memberdayakan kaum muda remaja bukan hanya sebagai objek pelayanan, melainkan sebagai subjek yang dipanggil untuk bertumbuh, melayani, dan berpartisipasi dalam misi Allah. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan jenis kajian teologis deskriptif-analitis. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara purposif terhadap lima kelompok narasumber, pencatatan kehadiran ibadah selama Agustus 2024 sampai Agustus 2025, dan studi kepustakaan. Analisis data mengikuti model interaktif Miles dan Huberman, sedangkan triangulasi sumber digunakan untuk menjamin keabsahan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 46 kaum muda remaja yang terdaftar, hanya 15 orang (32%) yang terlibat aktif dalam pelayanan, sementara 31 orang (68%) belum terlibat sama sekali. Pendampingan pastoral, pembinaan rohani, dan pembekalan pelayanan telah berjalan, tetapi masih bersifat insidental dan belum terintegrasi dalam kerangka pemuridan yang sistematis dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pemberdayaan kaum muda remaja harus dipahami sebagai panggilan teologis gereja dalam terang Efesus 4:11–16, konsep tubuh Kristus, dan missio Dei. Karena itu, gereja perlu menyusun kerangka pemuridan berjenjang yang memadukan ketiga dimensi tersebut secara utuh.

This research is motivated by the reality of ethnic and cultural diversity in congregation life which reflects the dynamics of a multicultural society, where differences in cultural identity have the potential to cause social friction if not managed wisely. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with normative studies, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation of informants consisting of pastors, congregation councils, and presbyters. The theory used is Ralph Linton's role theory which explains how individuals carry out social functions according to their status in society. The results of the study indicate that the life of the GMIT Sion Oepura congregation is characterized by multicultural dynamics as seen from the diversity of ethnicities such as Timor, Rote, Sabu, Flores, and Alor which not only enriches church life through cultural expressions in worship and church activities, but also gives rise to symbolic friction between ethnic groups, such as the tendency for the dominance of certain cultural symbols and the emergence of group ego attitudes in several worship activities, for example in the celebration of Language and Culture Month. In this situation, religious leaders play a role as leaders who embrace diversity, mediators in managing potential conflicts, and social and moral role models for the congregation through sermons, pastoral guidance, and various service activities that involve the entire congregation without differentiating cultural backgrounds. Despite the existence of cultural differences and the tendency for certain symbolic dominance, religious leaders are able to manage this diversity normatively so that it does not develop into open conflict. This study concludes that the role of religious leaders is very important in strengthening social solidarity and maintaining harmony in multicultural congregations.

Restricting judicial review (peninjauan kembali) for state administrative officials through Constitutional Court Decision No. 24/PUU-XXII/2024 represents a pivotal shift in Indonesia’s administrative justice framework. This study critically examines the constitutional, theoretical, and comparative dimensions of that decision, situating it within the principles of equality before the law and due process enshrined in the 1945 Constitution. Employing a normative-qualitative design grounded in doctrinal analysis and comparative law methods, the research analyzes primary sources including the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 5 of 1986 on State Administrative Courts, Law No. 14 of 1985 on the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Court’s decision and is supplemented by relevant academic literature. Findings reveal that the decision undermines procedural equality by asymmetrically restricting state entities’ access to extraordinary remedy mechanisms without addressing systemic enforcement deficiencies. Comparative analysis with French, German, and Thai administrative law systems demonstrates that modern rechtsstaat states preserve substantive justice through inclusive access to judicial review while enforcing robust procedural safeguards. The study concludes that targeted institutional reforms such as establishing an autonomous executorial agency, enacting contempt-of-court legislation, strengthening ombudsman oversight, and enhancing judicial education offer more constitutionally sound solutions to improve compliance with administrative court rulings. It further underscores the crucial role of rechtsvinding and proportionality in reconciling procedural limitations with constitutional mandates for substantive justice and legal certainty.

Pushover analysis is a procedure to determine the collapse behavior of a building in an earthquake. The pushover analysis method is widely used by high-level building planners who rely on performance-based planning. The aim of this research is to become a reference in evaluating the collapse performance and behavior of buildings. This research was carried out using SAP2000 software where the structure was modeled in three dimensions. After carrying out the initial load analysis and stress examination, the analysis results showed that the behavior of the building structure was non-linear. This occurs under conditions of higher loads or significant deformation. So the results obtained in the X direction, the maximum displacement value obtained is 0,014410 m achieved with a base shear of 64.746,662 kN. In step 7, collapse (C) occurs in one of the structures marked with a yellow dot. Meanwhile in the Y direction, the displacement obtained is 0,15 m with a base shear of 58.897,495 kN. Based on the structural performance classification according to ATC-40, both in the X direction and Y direction, the building structure is included in the "Immediate Occupancy" category. This means that the structure is able to maintain its function without experiencing significant damage at the given load level. This level of performance is still well below the “Collapse Prevention (CP) limit, meaning that the structure is considered safe under these conditions.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between macrozoobenthos Gafrarium pecinatum density and water quality at two water stations determined based on the turbidity of the research location on Sunday, May 26, 2024 in Pengudang waters and Monday, May 27, 2024 in Dompak waters. Field data analysis was carried out in the Marine Biology laboratory of the Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries UMRAH. This study used a random sampling method with sample collection carried out at two predetermined research stations. The results showed that Gafrarium pecinatum is a macrozoobenthos species found in both research locations, with differences in the number of individuals between stations. Evaluation of water quality showed that most of the chemical and physical parameters were still within the established quality standard limits, but the temperature parameter at station 2 slightly exceeded the quality standard limits. Nonetheless, the water conditions at both sites can still be considered suitable to support the life of marine biota. Further monitoring is required to maintain the sustainability of the coastal ecosystem.
