This study aims to compare the dynamics of Islamic economic institutions in Saudi Arabia and Singapore to understand the challenges, strengthening strategies, and their implications for Islamic economic development in Indonesia. The scope of the study covers geographic conditions, economic characteristics, institutional models, and regulatory and innovation strategies for Islamic finance in both countries. The results show that Saudi Arabia developed Islamic economic institutions based on sharia legitimacy and national integration, while Singapore adopted a flexible model oriented towards global markets and innovation. These differences in approach result in their respective strengths and limitations. The study concludes that Indonesia can adopt a combination of the Saudi and Singaporean models through strengthening regulations, harmonizing sharia standards, digital innovation, and improving human resource quality to build competitive and sustainable Islamic economic institutions.

This study aims to identify the influence of mathematical understanding and mathematical connection skills on students' mathematical representation skills. This study is motivated by the low level of students' mathematical representation skills, which is thought to be influenced by limited conceptual understanding and by difficulties connecting mathematical ideas. This study uses a quantitative, correlational design with a sample of class X-1 students at SMA Negeri 1 Arjawinangun. A total of 30 students were selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a validated essay test to measure mathematical understanding, mathematical connection, and mathematical representation skills, and analyzed using multiple linear regression after meeting the classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The results show that mathematical understanding and mathematical connection skills have a positive and significant influence on students' mathematical representation skills, both partially and simultaneously, where mathematical understanding (β = 0.484, p < 0.05) and mathematical connection (β = 0.298, p < 0.05) significantly contribute to the dependent variable. Furthermore, the two variables simultaneously explained 99.6% of the variance in students' mathematical representation skills (R² = 0.996), indicating a very strong predictive relationship. This finding highlights the importance of strengthening students' conceptual understanding and their ability to connect mathematical ideas to improve mathematical representation skills.

One of the ways to reduce greenhouse gases can be done through waste management from the source, because organic waste is one of the sources of methane gas that causes the greenhouse effect. The lack of education at the community level about efforts to reduce waste thrown away by processing waste is one of the causes of waste accumulation in landfills. This research aims to train the community to make an independent Vertical Composter Garden (VCG) in order to reduce organic waste in their area. The training was held in Cengkuang Village, Palimanan District, with a total of 16 participants. The method used is periodic training and mentoring followed by a final evaluation. The result obtained was that the level of understanding of participants increased after being given an explanation of waste management materials and how to make VCGs. The planting period depends on the type of plant. The fastest harvest period is only 14 days for chives, while the longest is for chili plants, which takes about 3.5 months from seeding to harvest.

The architecture of cultural heritage buildings not only represents historical and aesthetic values but also exhibits a regularity in form that can be studied through mathematical approaches. This research aims to examine the application of the concept of geometric transformation in the architectural patterns and proportions of the cultural heritage of the Cirebon Kejaksan Office Station and to uncover its relationship with local cultural values through an ethnomathematical perspective. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with visual observation and photographic documentation of the building's front appearance components, including doors, windows, vents, arches, and ornaments. The analysis is focused on identifying geometric transformations in the form of reflection, shift, and magnification based on patterns of repetition, symmetry, and scale variation of architectural components. The results of the research show that the front view of the Kejaksan's Station reflects strong bilateral symmetry, shifts through the consistent repetition of door and window modules, and enlarges through variations in component dimensions that maintain the harmony of shape. In addition, the geometric patterns observed are consistent with the principles of repetition and balance in Cirebon culture, thereby reflecting the acculturation of colonial architecture with local values. These findings confirm that the Kejaksan Station has the potential to serve as a source of contextual learning in transformation geometry.

This research is motivated by the rapid development of scientific publications in Indonesia, which requires systematic mapping to understand the direction of global scientific development. The main objective of this study is to map the bibliometric landscape of research in Indonesia through the Web of Science (WOS) database to identify annual trends, dominant themes, and future research directions. The method used is descriptive bibliometric analysis and network visualization using VOSviewer software on publication data for the period 2004-2026. The research findings indicate a highly exponential growth of publications, reaching a peak in 2025 with a contribution of 35.6% of the total literature. Dominant themes are concentrated in the management, economics, and education clusters, with sustainability and digital innovation emerging as the latest research trends. The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) emerged as the most productive institution, while the field of financial management recorded the highest citation impact. The study's conclusions confirm that research in Indonesia has transformed towards an internationally competitive multidisciplinary approach. Going forward, it is recommended to explore thematic areas with low density to fill the remaining research gaps.

The development of digital transformation has increased the demand for talent in the technology field, leading to stronger competition among talent service providers and the need for more targeted marketing strategies. This research aims to analyze Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing strategies at Upscale, focusing on the application of Segmenting, Targeting, Positioning (STP), Marketing Mix (4P), and email marketing as the main promotional channel. This study employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation during the internship period at Upscale. The results show that the STP strategy is implemented by segmenting the market based on recruitment activities on online portals to target credible companies in need of technology talent, while positioning Upscale as an integrated service provider. The marketing mix is executed through talent solution and infrastructure setup offerings, flexible pricing based on project complexity, service distribution without geographical limitations, and digital promotion primarily relying on email marketing. The email marketing strategy is carried out through stages of identification, verification, and the delivery of personalized mass messages; however, its implementation is still constrained by the quality of contact data and the high volume of promotional emails.

The Indonesian law on interfaith marriage does not explicitly prohibit it, but it also lacks clear legal clarity, leading to confusion and gaps in its implementation. This study employed a qualitative, literature-based research method based on both legislative and comparative approaches. This study compares Indonesia's legal approach with other countries, based on existing laws and community practices. The legal vacuum surrounding interfaith marriage often leads Indonesians to circumvent domestic legal limitations by marrying abroad and re-registering them in Indonesia. Another approach is to marry twice, with each bride and groom representing their respective religions. This reflects the inability of national law to accommodate increasingly pluralistic and cross-border social realities. Strong religious identities, such as Malaysia, explicitly prohibit interfaith marriage through its Islamic family law framework. Conversely, countries with high levels of religious tolerance and strong cultural ties, such as Ethiopia, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, tend to allow freedom of interfaith marriage on the basis of human rights. Indonesian legal policy needs reform to provide legal clarity and be based on community culture, so that community attempts to circumvent the law can be overcome.

The State Administrative Court is one of the executors of judicial power for people seeking justice regarding State Administrative disputes. Settlement of disputes in the general election of village heads through a State Administrative Court lawsuit is the appropriate legal action because the PTUN has the authority to decide and adjudicate disputes at the election stages. This research aims to review the execution process of decision Number 57/G/2020/PTUN.BDG. The method used in this research is qualitative with a normative juridical approach. The data collection used is literature. The results of this research show that the decision letter in question has been decided to be valid and declared to remain in effect since the PTUN decision has permanent legal force and the Regent of Cirebon did not make a new decision because the person who received the most votes in the process of recounting the votes at the Court regarding the elected Kuwu did not change. even though there were additional votes for all candidates from votes that were previously considered invalid.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas metode tanya jawab dan penggunaan media visual dalam meningkatkan penghayatan nilai-nilai uluhiyah pada pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak siswa kelas VII MTs Assunnah Cirebon. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari fenomena rendahnya implementasi nilai-nilai akidah dalam perilaku siswa, yang antara lain dipengaruhi oleh metode pembelajaran yang masih bersifat konvensional dan kurang variatif. Nilai-nilai uluhiyah merupakan inti ajaran tauhid yang meliputi ilmu, keyakinan, ketundukan, penerimaan, dan keikhlasan, sehingga penting untuk ditanamkan melalui strategi pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan sampel sebanyak 54 siswa. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket yang telah melalui uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Analisis data dilakukan melalui uji normalitas, regresi linear berganda, uji t, dan uji F. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media visual berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan penghayatan nilai uluhiyah siswa (p = 0,004), sedangkan metode tanya jawab tidak menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan (p = 0,649). Secara simultan, kedua variabel memberikan pengaruh sebesar 19,4% terhadap penghayatan nilai uluhiyah (R² = 0,194), dengan kontribusi utama berasal dari media visual. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa media visual lebih efektif digunakan dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak untuk membantu siswa memahami konsep tauhid secara lebih konkret, menarik, dan kontekstual. Dengan demikian, guru disarankan untuk mengoptimalkan penggunaan media visual dan mengombinasikannya dengan strategi interaktif lain agar pembelajaran nlai-nilai uluhiyah berlangsung lebih bermakna dan aplikatif.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi Manajemen Berbasis Sekolah (MBS) dalam upaya meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di satuan pendidikan. MBS merupakan pendekatan manajemen yang memberikan otonomi lebih besar kepada sekolah untuk mengelola sumber daya dan pengambilan keputusan secara mandiri, dengan tetap mengacu pada kebijakan nasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, dengan metode studi kasus pada beberapa sekolah yang telah menerapkan MBS. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi MBS memberikan dampak positif pada mutu pendidikan, khususnya dalam peningkatan kinerja guru, pengelolaan sumber daya sekolah, dan partisipasi masyarakat. Faktor utama yang mendukung keberhasilan MBS adalah kepemimpinan kepala sekolah yang efektif, kolaborasi dengan pemangku kepentingan, dan penggunaan teknologi dalam pengelolaan pendidikan. Namun, penelitian juga mengidentifikasi sejumlah tantangan, seperti keterbatasan sumber daya finansial, kurangnya pelatihan bagi guru dan staf, serta resistensi terhadap perubahan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa MBS memiliki potensi besar untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan jika diimplementasikan secara efektif dengan dukungan yang memadai dari semua pihak terkait. Untuk memaksimalkan hasil, perlu dilakukan penguatan kapasitas kepala sekolah, penyediaan pelatihan berkelanjutan bagi guru, serta peningkatan partisipasi masyarakat dan pemangku kepentingan lainnya dalam pengelolaan sekolah. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan strategi implementasi MBS yang lebih efektif di masa mendatang.
