The purpose of this study is to explain the development of the history of Islamic culture in the Barzanji tradition and its relationship to the spread of Islam in the Labuhanbatu area. The Barzanji tradition has been practiced in Indonesia since the beginning of Islam. It is undeniable that the arrival of Islam has had a significant impact on culture. The same situation is observed in the tradition of reading barzanji in Labuhanbatu residents. This research method is a qualitative study using historical methods. Therefore, the following steps were taken during this study: methodological (data collection), verification (critical analysis of sources), interpretative and historiographical. In the data collection method, the author collected data from two sources: primary and secondary, after collecting data, analyzing and interpreting the results according to the sources and data obtained. Reading Barzanji in the community generally occurs at certain times, such as during the Hajj. However, the Barzanji tradition is not only carried out on this memorable day, but also on many other occasions as a commitment to achieve something greater, for example in the Labuhanbatu community when giving birth, aqiqah, circumcision, marriage, and other ceremonies.

Students in higher education are an important target audience for AI education because they need to develop the skills needed to effectively handle AI in their careers. Before we can provide appropriate AI teaching or education to students, data is needed to determine the extent of students' knowledge about AI. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of students' knowledge about AI and what variables could be related to it. The research method used a cross-sectional study design with 132 students and the data were analyzed using the Chi Square test, Mann Whitney, and logistic regression. The results showed that 66.7% of students had high AI knowledge. The results of the bivariate test showed that the independent variable related to the level of AI knowledge in students is the status of AI use. While in the multivariate test, the variables related to the level of AI knowledge are gender and major.

Rapid technological developments have made internet access easier and increased smartphone use, including in Indonesia which occupies fourth place in the world with 160.23 million users.  One of the negative impacts is the increase in online gambling which can now be accessed easily.  This research aims to explore differences in levels of impulsivity in individuals with various levels of severity of online gambling addiction, using Whiteside and Lynam's (2001) theory of impulsivity.  The research method used is descriptive quantitative with data collection techniques using a questionnaire in the form of a Likert scale.  The research sample was Padang State University students who were addicted to online gambling, selected using a purposive sampling technique.  Data analysis was carried out using the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test.  The results showed that there was no significant difference in the level of impulsivity between individuals with mild, moderate and severe levels of gambling addiction (p > 0.05). 
 
 

This study aims to analyze promotional strategies for new student admissions at SMK IPTEK Cilamaya. Data were obtained through observation, interviews and questionnaires. This type of research is a qualitative analysis of the data available at the school.

College students are in early adulthood, a critical developmental stage marked by physical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes that can significantly impact dietary behaviors, including fruit and vegetable consumption. Adequate intake of fruits and vegetables is essential for maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, evidence indicates that fruit and vegetable intake among college students often falls below the levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). This study aimed to validate a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) for assessing total fruit and vegetable intake among college students in Surabaya City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 active university students. The SQ-FFQ method produced higher intake estimates compared to the Estimated Food Record. A statistically significant and strong correlation was found between the two methods (p < 0.001, r > 0.7), indicating strong agreement. These findings support the SQ-FFQ as a valid tool for measuring total fruit and vegetable intake in this population.

Ports are critical infrastructure in maritime transportation, facilitating the movement of goods and people while serving as hubs for economic activities. The Tanjung Pakis Class III Harbormaster and Port Authority Office (KSOP) utilizes the Electronic Reporting Information (SIRANI) application for reporting loading and unloading data. However, challenges such as discrepancies, technical disruptions, and delays in data processing often arise. This study aims to describe the loading and unloading data processing and the efficiency of reporting time on the SIRANI application at KSOP Class III Tanjung Pakis. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation, the research finds that data processing is less effective due to low data validity and errors in the Inaportnet platform. Reporting to SIRANI is also inefficient due to delays in data handling and technical issues with the application. Corrective measures, such as early data verification and manual data handling by reporting officers, have improved effectiveness by reducing the process from five to three steps and cutting reporting time from 6 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes. The study concludes that optimizing data processing and inter-unit coordination can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of reporting. Recommendations for future research include real-time integration and the development of backup mechanisms to address technical disruptions.

The purpose of this research is to learn how certain students in Medan City are influenced to buy Azarine sunscreen products by influencer marketing and brand image. More and more people, particularly students, are realizing the need of preventing sun damage to their skin, therefore sunscreen solutions have quickly become an integral part of skin care regimens. Researchers in this research used a quantitative approach by surveying people who had used Azarine products. Using SPSS software version 29, the data that was obtained was examined. The findings show that consumers are influenced by both favorable brand image and influencer marketing, which has a major impact on their purchase choices. There is a significant relationship between the dependent variable and each of the independent variables.

The distribution of goods and services is a vital component of the Islamic economic system, emphasizing the principles of justice, transparency, and divine blessings. In Islamic thought, distribution is not merely an economic activity but also a means to ensure social welfare and equitable asset ownership. This article explores the concept of distribution from an Islamic economic perspective based on sharia principles such as justice (`adl), trustworthiness (amanah), and the prohibition of usury (riba) and hoarding (ihtikar). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes relevant scholarly literature to understand the role of Islamic distribution channels in building an inclusive and fair economic system. It also highlights the influence of Islamic business ethics, maqasid al-shariah, and the concept of khalifah (stewardship) in promoting a distribution process that is just, transparent, and accountable. The findings reveal that Islamic distribution systems are not only economically efficient but also enriched with spiritual and social values rooted in justice and solidarity.

Break Even Point (BEP) analysis is a method to determine the point where total revenue equals total costs, which is the basis for business decision making. This study examines BEP at PT Maju Bersama, a palm oil plantation company. The definition of BEP includes fixed costs and variable costs associated with production. Assumptions in determining BEP include stability of selling price per unit, consistency of production costs, and no significant changes in market demand. The calculation results show that PT Maju Bersama needs to produce a certain number of units to reach the break-even point. Thus, this analysis provides valuable insight for management in planning production strategies and cost control, as well as increasing the company's profitability in the future.

This study aims to analyze the level of understanding of PSPK 23 B students at Medan State University on atomic theory questions. With a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through multiple-choice tests filled out by 30 students. The results showed an average understanding of 75.33%, which is quite good. However, there was significant variation where some students mastered basic concepts (eg Dalton and Thomson's atomic models), while others had difficulty with abstract topics (eg Bohr's model and quantum mechanics). This finding is in line with previous studies on misconceptions in atomic structure. This study emphasizes the importance of innovative learning strategies, such as visual media and conceptual approaches, to improve student understanding. Periodic evaluation is needed to detect learning gaps and adjust teaching methods. The results of this study can be a basis for developing more effective chemistry education practices.
