Teacher leadership is critical in shaping the educational environment and promoting positive change within schools. Teacher leadership fosters educational innovation and creates supportive learning environments. This study investigates the self-perceived leadership qualities of pre-service teachers, focusing on essential domains of teacher leadership, including self-awareness, leading change, communication, diversity, instructional proficiency, continuous improvement, and self-organization. Utilizing a structured survey instrument adopted and adapted from TLSA (Teacher Leadership Self-Assessment) by Katzenmeyer and Moller (2009). Data was gathered from a sample of teacher candidates to assess their competencies in these domains. The teacher candidates were the final-year Primary Teacher Education Program students at Esa Unggul University.  The findings indicate varying levels of readiness among the participants. The categorical analysis provides insights into specific areas where future teachers demonstrate potential and highlights domains where further development may be beneficial. This research contributes to the understanding of teacher leadership in the context of teacher preparation programs and underscores the importance of targeted support in nurturing well-rounded teacher leaders. Implications for curriculum adjustments and the integration of leadership training in teacher education programs are discussed.

Diaconal ministry is one form of church service that embodies the love of Christ in serving others. However, in practice, this ministry is often carried out in a charitable manner and has yet to fully address comprehensive and sustainable empowerment of the congregation. This study is driven by the urgent need to develop a diaconal service that not only provides temporary assistance but also effectively enhances the socio-economic independence of the congregation, particularly within the context of Gereja Isa Almasih Pringgading, where some Christian members face economic challenges due to limited access, resources, and institutional church support. The objective of this study is to analyze and describe the role of the Church Council in developing reformative and sustainable empowerment-based diaconal ministry. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with Church Council members and service recipients, direct observations of diaconal activities, and documentation of church archives and social service reports. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of service, empowerment strategies, and socio-economic impacts on the congregation. The study's findings reveal that the Church Council plays a strategic role in transforming diaconal ministry from mere charitable assistance into a structured empowerment program. Successfully implemented programs include entrepreneurial skills training, micro-business mentoring for congregation members, internal church cooperative development, and the establishment of local economic partnership networks. The impacts of these programs are reflected in increased household incomes, improved economic independence for some members, and strengthened social solidarity within the congregation. This study produces a conceptual model of empowerment-based diaconal ministry that can be replicated by other local churches to sustainably enhance congregational welfare.

Education is a learning process both through formal and informal activities whose aim is none other than individual self-development. As an effort to master various aspects, both cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Sharia economics in the current modernization context, especially in the concept of the Indonesian state, does not only focus on Muslims. Indonesia's multicultural society with various cultures, languages and religions is a very important market in the development of sharia economics. Likewise in educational institutions.  This research was conducted with the aim of observing the extent of the role of education in increasing Sharia Economic Awareness. The research methods used are observation and interviews. Observing and distributing questionnaires to be filled out by STAI Nurul Falah Airmolek students, especially the Sharia Economics Study Program and several other study program students.The results of this research show that students have a strong interest in sharia economics. They realize the importance of the understanding of Sharia Economics that they obtain to convey to society. However, it is a challenge for students because there are still many students who are not yet literate or aware of the presence of Sharia Banking. Social life and the environment are one of the factors that they consider that they don't really need banking services. Even though times have changed digitally.

This article aims to analyze Semarang's city diplomacy in solving environmental problems. Cities have an increasingly large role to play in this globalization era due to complex global issues, especially environmental issues. Cities are also having difficulty dealing with globalization due to the speed of population growth, economic pressures, excessive land use, and the increasing use of motor vehicles that release pollutants into the air. To address these issues, cities around the world are doing their best to find cooperative solutions through diplomacy. In addition, many national capitals cannot handle multiple tasks and, therefore, need to delegate some of their burden to other cities. In line with these objectives, this study utilizes an exploratory and descriptive qualitative research method, focusing on Semarang's diplomacy efforts. This study found that the Semarang city government has been perceived as an institution with clear political objectives that is fully committed to the practice of city diplomacy to engage directly, albeit in a limited way, in multilateral and bilateral international cooperation to find solutions to its environmental problems. The city government is no longer seen as an object of implementation of program plans formulated at the central level but also has the opportunity to formulate strategic plans or bottom-up procedures based on the needs of local communities and the suitability of the model with environmentally sustainable urban development.

Ethics in face-to-face discussion learning for accounting students finds new challenges when AI has been widely used. This study aims to determine the dimensions of legality, ethics, and behavior of AI use in accounting students' discussions. This study is exploratory descriptive. Primary data were collected through interview methods. Secondary data was obtained through a literature study. Respondents were 3rd-semester students of the accounting study program who had not taken the Professional Ethics course. The findings from the legal aspect show that there is a legal vacuum related to the results of AI's work. Therefore, the results of AI's work are owned by users who download it and agree to the terms and conditions that apply to the AI ​​installed on their devices. In this regard, we recommend the implementation of the Work Made For Hire Doctrine. The Ethics Aspect is still related to the legal vacuum aspect, so students need rules or initial agreements in using AI in face-to-face discussion activities. The result strengthens the evidence of deontological ethics in Accounting students. The benefits of using AI from the results of this study are to increase class activity, so that lecturers are expected to elaborate on the use of AI in their lecture methods. Another positive side of using AI is because the answers are too broad and often inconsistent, this condition triggers students’ critical thinking. On the other hand, students generally use AI to save time. Therefore, it is recommended that accounting student lecturers provide a different perspective on the importance of studying lecture material, and emphasize the assessment of each individual based on the process, not on the result.

This study analyzes the differences between the neoliberal and social democratic paradigms in poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia, by adding an Islamic Economic perspective as an alternative. The neoliberal paradigm focuses on free market mechanisms, deregulation, and minimizing the role of the state, but often exacerbates social inequality. In contrast, the social democratic paradigm balances the role of the market and state intervention through resource redistribution and protection of vulnerable groups through sustainable social programs. Islamic economics offers a complementary approach oriented towards the principles of distributive justice, balance, and solidarity, by integrating spiritual values ​​into socio-economic policies. A qualitative approach is used in this study, with policy analysis of programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and the National Health Insurance (JKN). The results show that the social democratic paradigm is more effective in reducing poverty systemically than neoliberalism, especially through increasing access to education, health, and social protection. However, budget constraints, corruption, and infrastructure gaps remain significant challenges. The Islamic Economic perspective emphasizes the importance of zakat, waqf, and infaq as instruments of wealth redistribution that have the potential to strengthen inclusive and sustainable poverty alleviation policies. This study recommends strengthening the synergy between the paradigm of social democracy and the values ​​of Islamic Economics to create policies that are more effective, equitable, and oriented towards the welfare of society holistically.  

This study examines the sustainability of religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque before and after the establishment of the West Sumatra Grand Mosque, as well as the contributing factors from mosque administrators and congregants in maintaining these activities despite the presence of the new mosque. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a fieldwork approach. Data collection techniques include direct observation, in-depth interviews with mosque administrators and congregants, and documentation of religious activities. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion/verification, with source, technique, and time triangulation employed to ensure data validity.The results indicate that religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque continue consistently in various forms, such as congregational prayers, Qur'anic studies, and other religious-social programs. In fact, new services have been added, such as funeral management, which originated from the initiative of the mosque administrators rather than being influenced by the presence of the Grand Mosque. However, a technical disturbance was identified—namely, the disruption of prayer concentration due to overlapping use of loudspeakers (microphones) from the West Sumatra Grand Mosque when activities occur simultaneously.The sustainability of religious activities at Al-Irsyad Mosque is supported by three main factors: effective and visionary leadership, a strong sense of ownership among congregants, and innovative programs tailored to community needs. The firm commitment of the mosque administrators and the active participation of the congregants are key to ensuring the continued role of Al-Irsyad Mosque as a center for religious life amidst external challenges.

The Naval Academy (Akademi TNI Angkatan Laut) is one of the units under the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) with a direct command line to the Navy Chief of Staff (Kasal). The academy has subunits responsible for secretarial duties, administration, and archive management, specifically the Secretariat (Bagset) and Administrative Office (Tata Usaha). The objective of this research is to examine how to optimize the storage and disposal of letters and archives to ensure the smooth operation of general administration and secretarial affairs at the Naval Academy. It explores the issues and analyzes the requirements for the storage and disposal of letters and archives at the Naval Academy. The research employs a qualitative method. The study concludes that the suboptimal management of letters and archives at the Naval Academy is due to the lack of directives on the disposal of letters and archives, inadequate infrastructure for archive destruction, and the absence of an electronic application program that qualifies letters and archives based on their validity period and stores archives in softcopy form. For the optimization of archive management to ensure smooth general administration and secretarial operations at the Naval Academy, the researcher proposes several recommendations for Bagset and the administrative offices of each unit at the Naval Academy. These include increasing the number of personnel in the archival section with formal education in archiving, improving archive destruction facilities, and developing an electronic application that can automatically classify archives.

This study examines the role of the school committee in improving the quality of education services in elementary schools and Islamic elementary schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah). The research findings identify six main indicators that play a role in assessing the quality of school services: learning services for students, student management and services, facilities and infrastructure, programs and funding, community participation, and school culture. Learning services for students, which aim to provide the best learning process, involve the crucial role of teachers in realizing this goal. This study also highlights how school committees are involved in various quality improvement programs such as full-day school, team teaching, and teacher training programs. Managing student comfort is seen as key to improving achievement, with the school implementing several supporting programs. Adequate facilities and infrastructure are recognized as important factors in supporting quality teaching and learning processes. Although funding issues are often an obstacle, through effective fundraising from parents, the government, and the community, schools are able to carry out their programs. Community participation, reflected in the role of the school committee, has proven successful in fostering harmonious relationships between schools and the community. Strengthening these relationships is essential to improving parental understanding of education and supporting school programs. Overall, the role of the school committee is significant in enhancing the quality of education services through intensive collaboration between schools, parents, and the community.
