The social identity of the Osing indigenous youth in Banyuwangi faces major challenges due to the influence of globalization that often affects local culture. This study aims to explore the role of traditional schools as a political identity space in shaping and reflecting the social identity of Osing youth. Using a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods, this study explores the experiences of youth in their involvement in the Pesinau traditional school. The findings show that traditional schools function not only as a place to preserve local cultural values, but also as a forum for building collective awareness, strengthening identity, and becoming a cultural protection from global domination. Identity as Osing youth is not obtained automatically, but is formed through a process of reflection, active participation, and negotiation of meaning in daily cultural activities. Traditional schools support the transformation of local values into adaptive contemporary expressions through the use of digital media, art, and education that are appropriate to the context. In this way, traditional schools play an important role as institutions in maintaining the continuity of cultural identity while creating innovative spaces for indigenous youth to face the challenges of the modern era.

Islamic microfinance institutions (IMFIs) in Indonesia have experienced notable progress in line with the growing public interest in Islamic economic principles. However, the competition between Islamic and conventional microfinance sectors is becoming increasingly intense. The LKMS BTM Artha Surya Cooperative, located in Tegal Regency, is currently facing pressure due to this competitive environment and must formulate an effective strategy to sustain and grow its business.

A qualitative approach was employed, gathering primary data through interviews and field observations at BTM Artha Surya Tegal, supported by secondary sources from relevant literature. The findings reveal that BTM Artha Surya has undergone transformation into Baitul Tanwil Muhammadiyah (BTM) Artha Surya and now provides various Sharia-compliant financing services. This research further elaborates on the murabahah financing process, including the recognition, measurement, and disclosure practices implemented in the financial statements of BTM Artha Surya Tegal.

Microfinance institutions can enhance the standard of living in villages through principles of justice, partnership, and mutual assistance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Islamic microfinance institution managers and beneficiaries in several rural areas.

Gender socialization in the family environment plays an important role in the formation of children's gender identity from an early age. Parents as the main agents of socialization play a significant role through daily interactions, providing examples, and parenting patterns that shape children's understanding of gender roles. This study aims to determine the importance of parents' reflective awareness in supporting a more inclusive and equitable understanding of gender. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to examine how parents in Medan City introduce gender values ??and norms in daily activities. The findings show that the gender socialization process is still influenced by traditional values ??and fairly rigid gender stereotypes. The division of roles based on gender applied by parents often gives rise to the perception that gender roles are fixed and cannot be changed.

Disposable diapers are non-biodegradable waste that can pollute the environment. Disposable diapers contain super absorbent polymer (SAP) which has an absorption capacity of up to 1,000 times. SAP can be combined with activated carbon as a coating agent in urea slow-release fertilizer (SRF) production. This research aims to analyze the effect of urea SRF formulation (FA, FB, FC, and FD), with the combination of SAP and activated carbon, on the characteristics and nitrogen release behavior. SRF was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), and Water Retention (WR) testing to determine the morphological structure, functional groups, and the ability of the sample to retain water during observation. The percentage of nitrogen release from SRF was calculated using the Kjeldahl method. The results of SEM characterization show that the thickness of the layer formed is about 63.5 µm. Different sample formulations affect the intensity of the functional groups produced. From all formulations, FD showed the highest WR and the lowest nitrogen release percentage with values of 80.2% and 20.4%, respectively. In general, it can be concluded that the combination of SAP from disposable diapers and activated carbon can be used as a coating agent in SRF production.

The implications of this study highlight the importance of continuous innovation in Sharia-based products and marketing strategies to enhance competitiveness and institutional sustainability.

Personal data dissemination is a new type of crime that has emerged in the digital world. The rapid development of technology has led to various innovations in data storage, one of which is through barcode technology. Although it provides convenience, this technology also opens up new gaps in cybercrime, especially the misuse and dissemination of personal data stored in barcodes. The impacts of the spread of personal data include damage to personal reputation due to the widespread dissemination of personal data on the internet, the emergence of cyber bullying and sexual harassment, personal data that has the potential to be sold, and the distress and psychological trauma experienced by victims of personal data dissemination. The purpose of this study is to analyze how law enforcement against perpetrators of abuse of the spread of personal data stored in barcodes is reviewed from the ITE Law and the PDP Law, and identify preventive efforts that can be made to prevent these crimes. This research uses a normative juridical approach method used to examine applicable legal norms related to personal data protection. With a statute approach, books, scientific journals, and the internet. The results showed that, although the ITE Law does not specifically regulate barcode technology, the protection of personal data stored in barcodes is still subject to the provisions of the ITE Law and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in supporting regional economic development. However, inefficient inventory management remains a significant challenge in operational effectiveness. This study aims to analyze raw material inventory control at Kebab & Burger Foursist MSME in Tarakan City using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Reorder Point (ROP) methods. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing annual sales data, ordering costs, and storage costs of main raw materials. The results indicate that the implementation of EOQ and ROP effectively determines the optimal purchase quantity and reorder timing, thereby minimizing total inventory costs and reducing the risk of stockouts or overstocking. The use of POM-QM for Windows software enhances the accuracy of the analysis. The implications of this study offer practical solutions for MSME actors in managing raw material procurement more efficiently and systematically.
