This study explores the significance of suprasegmental features in English phonology, focusing on prosodic hierarchy and intonation patterns. The analysis delves into how these features play a crucial role in structuring spoken language, particularly in conveying nuances, emotions, and pragmatic information. The study highlights the importance of understanding suprasegmental features in enhancing speaking proficiency in English and their relevance to English language curriculum development. Further research opportunities in English phonology, such as investigating other suprasegmental features and adopting an interdisciplinary approach, are suggested to deepen the understanding of English phonological structures and improve the quality of teaching speaking skills in English. This study emphasizes the valuable insights gained from a deeper understanding of the role of suprasegmental features in English phonology for teaching, research, and overall understanding of oral language

Zina and accusations of adultery (qadzaf) are two central themes in Islamic criminal law. This research examines the definition, proof, and sanctions of zina and qadzaf from the perspective of Islamic criminal law using the literature method. Zina is defined as sexual intercourse outside a legal marriage, while qadzaf is accusing adultery without sufficient evidence. In Islam, adultery is proven by four witnesses, confession of the perpetrator, or other supporting evidence. The punishment for muhsan adulterers (married) is stoning, while ghairu muhsan (unmarried) are flogged 100 times. Meanwhile, qadzaf can be proven by four witnesses, confession of the perpetrator, or an oath (according to Imam Shafi'i). The punishment is 80 lashes and the testimony of the perpetrator is not accepted. Islamic criminal law strictly regulates adultery and qadzaf with high evidentiary requirements and severe sanctions. This type of research is a qualitative literature study and uses a descriptive analysis method, namely by analyzing various sources and relevant data. The existence of this prohibition of adultery and qadzaf aims to prevent harm, maintain honor, and uphold the benefit (maqashid sharia).

We will analyze the various factors that can influence the acceptance and implementation of curriculum change. This research is motivated by the existence of curriculum change at the school level, which in its implementation is often faced with complex challenges. So it is necessary for schools to know, then analyze these challenges that are likely to arise. After that, it is necessary for schools and educators to create and carry out effective strategies to overcome these challenges. This research uses a literature study research method in which the data collected and analyzed are secondary data derived from research results such as books, articles, journals, internet sites, and others relevant to this research.  The conclusion in this study is that curriculum changes in schools bring many challenges for teachers and students. Challenges and strategies in dealing with curriculum changes in schools can be understood through the theoretical basis of change management and learning theory. Effective strategies are needed to overcome complex challenges in implementing curriculum change in schools.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan bahwa terdapat pengaruh dari koneksi politik terhadap manajemen laba riil (real earnings management). Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya menemukan bahwa koneksi politik dianggap dapat memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap tingkat manajemen laba, namun beberapa penelitian lain menyatakan hal yang sebaliknya. Koneksi politik pada penelitian ini diukur menggunakan jumlah dewan direksi dan dewan komisaris terkoneksi politik untuk menunjukkan tinggi atau rendahnya pengaruh. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Indonesia dengan menggunakan sampel perusahaan manufatktur yang terdaftar di BEI. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 297 firm years. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak mendukung hipotesis yang telah dikembangkan. Penelitian kali ini menunjukkan hasil bahwa penerapan dewan direksi terkoneksi politik dan dewan komisaris terkoneksi politik tidak berpengaruh terhadap praktik manajemen laba riil. Hal ini bisa dikarenakan jumlah dari dewan direksi dan dewan komisaris yang belum signifikan dalam sampel sehingga belum dapat menjadi prediktor dari praktik manajemen laba.
