This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of podcast-based learning media through the Spotify application in improving listening skills (Maharah al-Istima’) of 8th-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 06 Dau. A quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental approach was employed, involving two groups: the experimental class using podcast media and the control class using conventional methods. Data were collected through observation and tests (pretest and posttest), and analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t-test with SPSS 26. The results revealed that the use of podcasts significantly enhanced students’ listening skills. Students in the experimental class demonstrated higher enthusiasm, independence, and active participation compared to those in the control class. Thus, Spotify podcasts can be considered an effective and engaging alternative learning medium for Arabic language education. The study also recommends further research on a broader scale to examine long-term impacts and other influencing variables.

Political leadership in Islam is closely related to the exemplary behavior of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, who was not only a messenger of revelation, but also a leader of the people in all aspects of life, including politics. The Hadith of Ummul Hadith, namely the hadith "Indeed all deeds depend on the intention ..." is an important foundation in forming leadership values ??that are oriented towards integrity and noble goals. This article aims to examine the concept of the Prophet's political leadership through an analysis of the values ??in the Hadith of Ummul Hadith and their correlation with the Prophet's leadership practices in the context of statehood. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach to the hadith literature and the history of prophecy. The results show that the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad SAW is based on the values ??of sincere intention (ikhlasiyyah), responsibility (mas'uliyyah), justice ('adalah), and exemplary (uswah hasanah) which can be used as guidelines in forming ethical political leadership that is oriented towards the welfare of the people.

The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of policies related to Functional Expert Positions at the Constitutional Court still faces regulatory inconsistencies, especially in the selection mechanism, which does not fully adhere to the established rules. Additionally, competency development for PPPK employees is not supported by systematic planning, which risks creating skill gaps. This situation may lead to uncertainty in career progression and reflects that the management of PPPK still encounters several fundamental challenges in its implementation.
 

Petrochemical-based synthetic plastics pose significant environmental concerns due to their non-biodegradable nature. Bioplastics, particularly those derived from corn starch, offer a promising alternative because of their biodegradability and renewable origin. This article presents a narrative review analyzing the effects of various additives on the characteristics of corn starch-based bioplastics, including tensile strength, water absorption, and biodegradability. The review focuses on scientific publications from 2015 to 2025.  Three types of additives were examined: cellulose fibers, graphene oxide (GO), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The results show that the combination of starch and PVA with glycerol yields the best overall performance, achieving the highest tensile strength (1.8 MPa), moderate water resistance 60%, and rapid biodegradation within 6–10 days. While cellulose improves mechanical properties, it tends to slow down the degradation rate. GO provides only slight enhancements in mechanical and water-resistant properties. Overall, the starch–PVA blend appears to be the most promising formulation for developing eco-friendly and applicable bioplastics in the future.
