Paradigma sains seperti yang diartikulasikan oleh Ziauddin Sardar dan Archie J. Bahm, menekankan perlunya pendekatan yang lebih inklusif dan etis untuk penyelidikan ilmiah. Perspektif Sardar menganjurkan ilmu yang mencerminkan pandangan dunia yang beragam dan mempromosikan dialog antar budaya, terutama antara dunia Islam dan Barat. Kedua pemikir menyoroti perlunya mengintegrasikan pertimbangan etis ke dalam praktik ilmiah, dengan alasan bahwa pengetahuan harus melayani umat manusia dan berkontribusi pada masa depan yang berkelanjutan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan analisis komparatif terhadap pemikiran Sardar dan Bahm terkait paradigma sains alternatif yang mereka usulkan. Artikel ini juga membahas konsep “Ilmu Postnormal” yang diperkenalkan oleh Sardar, yang mengakui kompleksitas dan ketidakpastian isu-isu kontemporer, menyerukan pendekatan pluralistik yang mengakomodasi berbagai perspektif budaya dan etika. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-interpretatif, Secara keseluruhan, pekerjaan ini menggaris bawahi kebutuhan mendesak untuk pergeseran paradigma dalam sains yang memprioritaskan inklusivitas, tanggung jawab, dan kesejahteraan semua makhluk hidup, bergerak melampaui kerangka tradisional yang sering mengabaikan implikasi sosial dari kemajuan ilmiah. 

Penelitian ini menganalisis kesenjangan realisasi anggaran pendapatan daerah (APD) di Provinsi DKI Jakarta dan Provinsi Banten pada tahun 2023. DKI Jakarta menunjukkan tingkat realisasi APD yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan Banten, yang dipengaruhi oleh kapasitas fiskal yang lebih beragam. Sebaliknya, Banten mengalami kesulitan dalam mengoptimalkan pendapatan asli daerah (PAD) karena terbatasnya infrastruktur ekonomi dan kapasitas administrasi. Faktor-faktor seperti kebijakan fiskal, basis ekonomi, dan dinamika sosial-ekonomi lokal berperan penting dalam perbedaan kinerja anggaran antara kedua provinsi. Penelitian ini menyarankan strategi pengelolaan keuangan yang lebih adaptif, peningkatan efisiensi PAD, serta pemanfaatan dana perimbangan untuk mendukung pembangunan yang lebih merata dan berkelanjutan.

The rapid development of science and technology has driven increasingly intense global competition, demanding educational institutions to play an active role in developing human resources (HR). Higher education serves as a platform to enhance students' competitiveness, not only through academic education but also through student organizations such as the Student Executive Board (BEM). This organization provides opportunities for students to develop social skills, leadership, and other soft skills that are highly essential in the professional world. STMIK Widuri, as one of the higher education institutions in Indonesia, integrates academic education with students' personal development through organizations like BEM. This study aims to evaluate the level of satisfaction among the academic community regarding activities organized by the BEM of STMIK Widuri during the 2023–2025 period using the Service Quality (SERVQUAL) approach. This method measures service quality based on five key dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangible aspects. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and literature reviews, with a total of 51 respondents comprising students, lecturers, and staff. The results of the study indicate that all data are valid and reliable based on the Cronbach Alpha test, with values exceeding 0.6. Analysis using SPSS software shows a gap between respondents' perceptions and expectations of the services provided by BEM. These findings are expected to provide insights for the BEM of STMIK Widuri to improve service quality and design programs that better align with the needs of the academic community. Thus, BEM's role as a facilitator of student potential development can be further optimized, supporting the achievement of STMIK Widuri's vision as a globally competitive educational institution.

This study examines and compares the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) with the Sharia Compliance Asset Pricing Model (SCAPM) in constructing an optimal stock portfolio based on the sharia stock index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, specifically the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), during the 2019–2023 period. The primary aim is to evaluate whether the SCAPM, which incorporates mudharabah profit-sharing returns in place of the risk-free rate, offers more relevant insights for Muslim investors compared to the CAPM. Utilizing a quantitative approach and a two-step regression method, the research develops an optimal portfolio by calculating stock betas and analyzing the relationship between systematic risk and expected returns. The findings reveal that neither the CAPM nor the SCAPM models are valid for predicting risk and expected returns for the JII's optimal stock portfolio. This study is intended to guide sharia-compliant investors in making informed decisions and assist investment managers in designing strategies aligned with Islamic financial principles.

Implementation is an activity or action to carry out a plan that has been made in detail to achieve a goal. The word implementation comes from English, namely to implement, which means to implement.

There was a significant relationship between the level of health knowledge and the use of herbal therapy. Statistical tests showed that a better level of health knowledge tended to be associated with increased use of herbal therapy, with a significant p-value (p = 0.000), which suggests that health knowledge influences patients' decision to adopt herbal therapy. Education level was significantly associated with herbal therapy use (p = 0.015), where higher education level increased the likelihood of herbal therapy use (Exp(B) = 2.034). This study shows the importance of improving health knowledge and education in influencing the use of herbal therapy among hypertensive patients.

Software testing is a critical phase in information system development to ensure the system's quality and reliability. This study aims to evaluate the reliability and functionality of PT Perta Sakti Abadi's financial information system using the black-box testing method with the Equivalence Partitioning (EP) technique. This technique allows input data to be grouped into valid and invalid categories, minimizing test cases without reducing testing coverage. The testing focuses on the login feature as the system's primary component by evaluating various input combinations. The testing scenarios include boundary conditions to ensure the system handles inputs correctly in various situations.The results indicate that the system successfully verifies valid credentials, rejects access with invalid data, and provides informative error messages. Additionally, the system demonstrates resilience in handling testing scenarios, including inputs with special characters and empty fields. Input validation mechanisms function optimally, supporting secure user access and ensuring the login feature aligns with functional specifications. This successful testing forms a strong foundation for testing other modules, such as multi-level authentication and data encryption. Thus, the Equivalence Partitioning technique within the black-box testing method proves effective in enhancing the quality of web-based financial information systems.
