The dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia over the islands of Sipadan and Ligitan continued throughout the years until 1997. The issue of Sipadan and Ligitan islands was resolved by international law through the International Court of Justice. The two islands located in the middle of Indonesia, precisely in the Makassar Strait, were finally won by the Malaysian side on December 17, 2002. The theory used in this research is the theory of legal protection. The theory of legal protection is very relevant to the research made here, because there is a need for legal protection regarding territorial boundaries in the territorial sovereignty of the State of Indonesia. The research method used regarding international legal protection of the Sipadan-Ligitan island dispute is carried out by means of qualitative descriptive research. The technique or instrument of data collection used is library research by studying various books as literature, official documents, laws and regulations, results of previous research, and other literature sources related to the problems studied. The decision of the international court on December 17, 2002 in its decision gave sovereignty over the islands of Sipadan and Ligitan to Malaysia, the international court declared Malaysia as the most entitled party to the two islands based on three main statements that were used as the basis for claims by both countries.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the financial performance of Bank Syariah Indonesia based on profitability, liquidity and solvency ratios. The research method uses a quantitative descriptive approach with data analysis from Bank Syariah Indonesia's financial reports for the 2021-2022 period.

The purpose of this article is to determine the forms of leadership in the elderly. The elderly group is the last stage of maturity in a person's life, which requires some kind of Christian education or church teachings, but not everyone reaches that age, so this age is often called the golden age. Most people think they don't need special education as they get older. What is meant by elderly is a person who has reached the age of 60 years and whose physical strength has weakened to such an extent that they are no longer able to earn a living. their strength or endurance and work are already limited. Spiritual formation for the elderly is very necessary to strengthen the faith of the elderly in their old age, whose physical abilities are increasingly decreasing, causing many problems for the elderly. Therefore, by using qualitative methods and a literary approach it can be concluded that the forms of spiritual education given to the elderly are: visits to nursing homes, counseling, worship/fellowship for the elderly, catechism before death, visits to nursing homes. leading prayer and meditation, involving the elderly in services and helping the elderly when they are sick. That's what coaches really need to give to seniors.
 
 

This research aims to analyze learning difficulties in the mathematical reasoning subtest for students taking the Computer-Based Writing Examination (UTBK). The mathematical reasoning subtest is an important part of measuring students' abilities in solving high-level mathematical problems. The research method used was quantitative analysis of UTBK results data as well as in-depth interviews with a number of students.The results of the analysis show that the majority of students have difficulty understanding the mathematical concepts underlying the reasoning subtest. Factors such as a lack of understanding of basic concepts, less effective learning methods, and exam anxiety may be the main causes of these difficulties. Apart from that, these findings also indicate that there is a gap in students' preparation for the types of mathematical reasoning questions tested in UTBK. Developing more interactive and in-depth learning strategies, providing intensive academic guidance, and improving metacognitive skills can be a solution to overcome these learning difficulties. In addition, this research suggests that UTBK administrators and educational institutions pay special attention to understanding basic mathematical concepts at the upper secondary education level in order to increase students' readiness for exams. By understanding the difficulty of learning the mathematical reasoning subtest, it is hoped that it can make a positive contribution in formulating more effective educational policies, as well as providing direction for teachers and educational institutions in improving the quality of mathematics learning at the high school level.

This article aims to examine the principle of French religion being secular, or laïcité. France adopted this principle in 1905. This principle separates religious and state affairs, including state interference in religious worship. This principle also aims to protect the freedom of French people to adhere to or not adhere to religion and prevent religion from entering state institutions, one of which is education. The method used in this research is library research, namely a method of collecting data by understanding and studying theories from various literature related to the research.

Utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the formation of laws and regulations and its implications for ethics and security. This article highlights the limitations of AI in interpreting data and forming algorithms, which can lead to bias and discrimination. This article also discusses the role of legal experts in ensuring the ethical and safe use of AI within statutory regulations. The article provides examples of countries that have implemented AI in their legislation, such as Canada and the European Union. The article concludes that although AI has the potential to improve the efficiency, accuracy and quality of legislation, it should be used as a tool and not replace the role of lawmakers.

Angka kejadian stunting di Kabupaten Lombok Tengah masih di atas batas yang ditetapkan WHO. Salah satu cara untuk mencegah stunting yaitu dengan memenuhi kebutuhan gizi balita, salah satunya melalui asupan protein. Keong sawah merupakan sumber pangan lokal tinggi protein yang mudah ditemui di Kabupaten Lombok Tengah, namun masyarakat belum memanfaatkannya dengan maksimal. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai stunting, meningkatkan keterampilan masyarakat dalam membuat olahan pangan berbahan dasar sumber pangan lokal yaitu nuget keong sawah, dan meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai cara pengemasan produk. Kegiatan diadakan di Desa Jelantik dengan jumlah peserta 18 orang. Tingkat pengetahuan ibu mengenai stunting diukur menggunakan kuesioner pre test dan post test yang diuji menggunakan uji Wilcoxon dengan nilai α = 0,05. Hasilnya yaitu 11 orang mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan. Hasil ini secara statistik memiliki nilai p = 0,005. Dengan kata lain, terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan ibu setelah diberikan penyuluhan. Selama kegiatan berlangsung peserta terlihat sangat antusias yang ditandai dengan peserta dapat menjawab pertanyaan pemateri dengan baik dan adanya umpan balik berupa beberapa pertanyaan dari peserta. Pada sesi demo masak nuget keong sawah, peserta diminta untuk memberi penilaian mengenai warna, aroma, tekstur, dan rasa nuget keong sawah. Rata-rata masyarakat suka terhadap warna, tekstur, dan rasa nuget keong sawah, namun agak suka pada bagian rasa. Dari kegiatan tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan penyuluhan dan demonstrasi dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat mengenai stunting dan pengemasan produk, dan pemanfaatan sumber pangan lokal untuk mengatasi stunting.
