Osamu Dazai’s No Longer Human is one of the most devastating Japanese literature that portrays the inner turmoil of human beings in a very emotional way. The main character, Oba Yozo, is characterized by alienation, despair and identity crisis. This study is meant to identify the types of emotional expressions that appear in the original text and trace the translation techniques used in the two translated versions. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a comparative approach utilizing Molina & Albir’s translation technique theory and Nababan’s translation accuracy indicators. The analysis results show that Keene tends to use literal and amplification translation techniques to preserve the psychological depth of the characters, while Hanafi is more frequently employs modulation and reduction techniques with the aims of simplifying the language style. Some quotations also highlight differences in accuracy levels that impact the conveyance of emotions to readers. The conclusion of this study affirms that translation techniques not only influence sentence structure but also determine how readers interpret the internal conflicts of characters and the atmosphere of the story in the target text

Tourism plays a vital role in Indonesia's economic development, particularly through the advancement of marine ecotourism. Smiling Coral Indonesia (SCI) is a community-based organization focused on sustainable marine tourism and environmental conservation on Pramuka Island, Thousand Islands. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of SCI's digital marketing strategies in enhancing tourist appeal and visit intention. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, direct observation, and content analysis of SCI’s Instagram account. The results show that SCI effectively utilizes visual content, interactive features, and strategic collaborations with influencers to increase digital engagement. Collaborative content and tourist experiences were found to generate the highest engagement levels, while conservation content strengthened brand consistency. Instagram serves as a primary source of information for potential visitors and influences their travel decisions. Furthermore, digital marketing has a positive impact on the local economy by increasing visitor numbers, promoting local products, and improving community welfare. The study concludes that integrating social media strategies with conservation values can significantly enhance the appeal and sustainability of marine ecotourism destinations.

This study aims to examine the compatibility of the classical fiqh muamalah contract (akad) concepts with contemporary Islamic financial products in Indonesia. Employing a normative qualitative approach, the research draws upon secondary sources including classical Islamic legal texts, DSN-MUI fatwas, regulations issued by OJK and Bank Indonesia, and related academic literature. The findings reveal that the essential elements of Islamic contracts such as ijab-qabul (offer and acceptance), clarity of the contract object (maḥal al-‘aqd), and the principles of justice and transparency are preserved in the design of modern Islamic financial products. Instruments such as murabahah, musyarakah mutanaqisah, and hybrid contracts like murabahah-wakalah and qardh-ijarah represent adaptive applications that meet market and regulatory needs while remaining within the ethical and legal framework of Islamic law. DSN-MUI fatwas serve as normative references to ensure shariah compliance, while OJK regulations provide the legal-operational framework. Nevertheless, challenges remain, particularly in the uneven capacities of shariah supervision between large banks and smaller financial institutions, as well as in the low level of public literacy regarding Islamic contracts. The study recommends strengthening the synergy between fatwa bodies and regulators, enhancing training and certification for shariah supervisory boards (DPS), and standardizing contract documentation to uphold the integrity of Islamic principles in the evolving financial landscape.

Prayer constitutes the essence of worship in Islam and serves as a profound expression of faith, resilience, and spiritual submission. This study aims to unveil the multifaceted dimensions of the prophets’ prayers in the Qur’an by integrating the ad?bi ijtim??? approach of Tafsir Al-Azhar (Buya Hamka) and the lugh?w? approach of Tafsir al-Kashsh?f (Mahmud al-Zamakhshar?). Employing a qualitative descriptive design with library research and content analysis (tahl?l?-muna??bah-semantik), primary data comprised Qur’anic verses featuring prophetic supplications. Analysis focused on etymological, morphological, rhetorical, and socio-cultural aspects, as well as the ethical etiquette (adab) and pedagogical functions embedded in each prayer. Findings reveal that prophets’ prayers encapsulate layers of linguistic eloquence, spiritual resilience, and communal guidance, while divine corrections within certain supplications underscore the pedagogical nature of revelation. This integrative tafsir framework offers a holistic model for incorporating Qur’anic supplications into contemporary character and academic education, fostering both linguistic insight and social relevance

Pharmaceutical packaging plays an important role in maintaining the stability, safety, and effectiveness of drug products during storage and distribution. Drug stability can be affected by various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, oxygen, and light. Therefore, packaging innovation is a crucial strategy to extend the shelf life of drugs and maintain product quality, especially for sensitive preparations such as injections, transdermal patches, and biologics. This study is a literature review that aims to evaluate the impact of packaging innovation on the physical and chemical stability of pharmaceutical products. This study confirms that packaging selection is not just a technical aspect, but a vital strategy in ensuring pharmaceutical quality. Further research is needed to integrate smart packaging and advanced barrier technologies into modern pharmaceutical distribution systems.

Taxes are the primary source of state revenue, and the Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) is one of the regional taxes that contributes significantly to Regional Original Revenue (PAD). However, taxpayer compliance in the city of Medan remains suboptimal. This study aims to analyze the effect of awareness and education level on taxpayer compliance in paying motor vehicle taxes in Medan. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a survey technique involving 75 taxpayers. Data analysis includes validity and reliability tests, normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that both awareness and education level have a significant partial effect on taxpayer compliance, supported by significance values less than 0.05. Simultaneously, the two variables also have a significant influence, with an R Square value of 0.471. This means that 47.1% of the variation in taxpayer compliance is explained by awareness and education level. These findings indicate that improving taxpayer awareness and education is a crucial factor in increasing compliance with motor vehicle tax payments in Medan.
