.SOE Synergy policy has drawn significant attention over the years due to its potential to create conflicts with the principles of fair competition. However, the provision still remains, particularly regarding direct appointment as stipulated in Article 155 paragraph (2) letter j of the Minister of SOE Regulation Number PER-2/MBU/3/2023 concerning Guidelines for Governance and Significant Corporate Activities of SOEs. This doctrinal research, presented descriptively based on secondary data obtained through a literature review of various legal materials, aims to examine the perspective of competition law on the SOE Synergy policy in the context of direct appointment as stated in the aforementioned regulation. Specifically, this research seeks to analyze whether the provisions on direct procurement in the regulation comply with the provisions of Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition. The findings suggest that the direct appointment provisions in Article 155 paragraph (2) letter j of the regulation may create barriers to entry for other businesses and potentially stifle fair competition. The regulation on SOEs Synergy should be complemented by more detailed provisions on the implementation mechanism to ensure that the objectives of the policy can be achieved efficiently while maintaining a fair competition. Furthermore, a thorough cooperation between the Ministry of SOE and the Competition Commission is needed to ensure its adherence to the principles of fair competition.

This study aims to identify and analyze the factors contributing to the low learning interest of students in Christian Religious Education in Grade IV at SD Negeri Handaka, East Sumba. The background of this research stems from the phenomenon of many students showing a lack of interest in participating in the learning process, which leads to low classroom participation and suboptimal academic achievement. This issue is concerning because Christian Religious Education is not only intended to transfer religious knowledge but also to build character and instill spiritual values in students. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings reveal several key factors affecting students' low interest in learning. First, the lack of positive interaction between teachers and students leads to ineffective communication and students feeling neglected. Second, teachers’ inability to effectively use educational technology results in monotonous and conventional learning experiences. Third, the lack of varied teaching strategies fails to actively engage students. Fourth, the limited availability of learning media and tools, such as visual aids or digital devices, becomes a significant obstacle. Additionally, poor time management in classroom activities contributes to students’ boredom and disengagement. These findings highlight the need for concrete efforts from various stakeholders. Teachers must receive training in using technology-based teaching tools and in developing engaging, interactive teaching strategies. Strengthening interpersonal relationships between teachers and students is also crucial for creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. By applying contextual and constructivist-based learning approaches, it is expected that students will become more motivated and enthusiastic in learning. The implications of this study are expected to serve as a reference for teachers, schools, and policymakers to improve the quality of Christian Religious Education, making it more relevant, interactive, and enjoyable for students.

This study aims to examine the implementation of Jesus' exemplary role as a Great Teacher in the Christian Religious Education learning process in fifth grade at SDN 38 Pahauman. Jesus is seen as a teacher who not only conveys knowledge but also instills noble spiritual values, character, and integrity in His students. Jesus' exemplary role, such as compassion, patience, firmness, humility, and the ability to teach teachings with real life, is an inspiration in the world of education, especially in Christian religious learning. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection techniques through observation of the learning process, interviews with Christian Religious Education teachers and students, and documentation of learning activities. The results of the study show that teachers strive to apply Jesus' exemplary role in every aspect of learning, both verbally and nonverbally. For example, teachers demonstrate compassion and patience in dealing with students who have different backgrounds and characteristics. Teachers also instill the values of firmness in enforcing discipline and use a contextual teaching approach, so that the teaching material can be more easily understood and applied by students in their daily lives. However, the implementation of Jesus' exemplary values still faces challenges, particularly in terms of consistent teacher behavior and a lack of support from the overall school environment. Several factors, such as limited time, teacher administrative burdens, and a lack of continuing education, also hinder the deep internalization of Christian values. The implications of these findings are the importance of training and strengthening the capacity of spiritual teachers so they can continue to be true role models for students. Furthermore, creativity is needed in integrating Gospel values into the learning process to shape students' overall character in accordance with Christ's example.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Indonesia has a long history, reflecting the dynamics of social, political, and cultural changes from the colonial era to the digital era. During the Dutch colonial era, Islamic education experienced strict restrictions, while during the Japanese occupation, it was given more flexible space even though it was full of ideological interests. After independence, PAI underwent a significant transformation with its official entry into the national education system, accompanied by the formation of the Ministry of Religion as an institution managing religious education. In the digital era, Islamic education faces new challenges in the form of unverified religious information flows, so that digital literacy becomes important in maintaining the integrity of Islamic teachings. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from academic literature, regulations, and official government documents and educational archives. The analysis technique used is content analysis with a focus on identifying patterns of development of Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia from the pre-independence, post-independence, to the contemporary era based on technology. This study also examines the challenges faced in each period and how Islamic education responds to these changes adaptively and contextually. The results of the study show that Islamic Religious Education continues to evolve both in terms of policy and pedagogical approach. From traditional forms such as Islamic boarding schools that focus on teaching classical books, to a formal education system based on the national curriculum, and now towards digital technology-based innovation that supports reflective and contextual learning. Thus, Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia shows its resilience as an important instrument in the formation of relevant Islamic character and identity amidst the challenges of the times.
 
 

This study aims to analyze the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are utilized by government institutions and companies in public relations (PR) practices, and to relate these findings to crisis management strategies. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews involving 23 institutions, consisting of 19 government agencies and 4 private companies. The results show that ChatGPT is the most widely used AI tool (56%), followed by Gemini (34%) and QuillBot (14%). Most other tools showed low usage rates, with a high percentage falling under the “unknown” category, indicating limited information and awareness regarding AI technologies within PR environments. These findings have strategic implications in the context of crisis management, as the speed and accuracy of information dissemination are highly dependent on technological adaptability. The integration of AI tools into public communication systems can serve as both a preventive and responsive solution to reputational and operational crises. Therefore, policies are needed to enhance digital literacy and provide technical training on AI utilization for PR practitioners in both the public and private sectors.
