This study focuses on individuals with visual disabilities who struggle to accept themselves due to their physical limitations. This study examines self-acceptance and social interaction of people with visual disability in the context of interpersonal communication. This study aims to find out how their social interactions with the surrounding environment support this process. Through a descriptive qualitative approach. This study interviewed four informants with low vision and total blindness, as well as three key informants who work as social workers. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. The results of this study are that the five aspects of interpersonal communication, ranging from openness, empathy, supportive attitudes, positive attitudes, to equality, have an important role in the process of self-acceptance of blind people with disabilities. This study can be used as the development of communication science, especially in the field of interpersonal communication in the process of self-acceptance of people with visual disability.

This study explores women’s language features in a patriarchal context by analyzing Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper through the lens of Robin Lakoff’s (1975) framework. Focusing exclusively on the female narrator, the study examines narrative passages, sentences, and expressions to identify linguistic patterns that reflect social and ideological constraints. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, nine women’s language features were identified: lexical hedges, tag questions, rising intonation, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, super‑polite forms, avoidance of strong swear words, precise color terms, and empty adjectives. The findings show that these features serve to convey tentativeness, politeness, emotional expression, and psychological sensitivity, highlighting the narrator’s constrained agency under patriarchal and institutional control, particularly within the context of the rest cure. From a feminist literary perspective, the language simultaneously provides subtle means for resistance and self-expression, revealing how linguistic strategies negotiate power, uncertainty, and emotion. The study underscores the value of combining Lakoff’s sociolinguistic framework with feminist literary theory to examine how language reflects and contests gendered authority in literature. Limitations include the focus on a single narrator and one literary work, suggesting the need for comparative and corpus-based studies across genres and historical contexts. Future research could explore the relationship between women’s language features, narrative perspective, and character agency to further understand how literary language constructs female subjectivity and ideological critique.

Islamic education is an integral part of Indonesia’s national education system and plays an important role in shaping individuals who are faithful, pious, and possess noble character. This study aims to examine the foundations of Islamic education in Indonesia from theological and juridical perspectives, as well as to understand the objectives and functions of Islamic education within the framework of building a just and progressive nation. The method employed is library research, analyzing primary sources such as the Qur’an, Hadith, statutory regulations, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that Islamic education in Indonesia has strong legitimacy, both normatively theologically and constitutionally juridically. Islamic education is directed toward forming the insan kamil (the complete human being) who is able to fulfill the role of a devout individual with noble character and to serve as a strategic partner of the state in educating the life of the nation.

This study examines the legal foundation of Islamic education in Indonesia through an integrative approach between Islamic law (sharia) and positive law. The research reveals that Islamic education in Indonesia has a strong and comprehensive legal foundation consisting of two complementary dimensions: sharia law sourced from the Qur'an, Sunnah, and ijtihad methods (qiyas and istihsan), and positive law manifested in the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System, and Government Regulation No. 55 of 2007 on Religious Education. Using qualitative methods with normative juridical approaches, this research finds that the relationship between sharia law and positive law is not contradictory but rather synergistic and harmonious. Both legal foundations work together to achieve the ultimate goal of Islamic education: forming insan kamil (complete human beings) who are faithful, pious, noble in character, intelligent, and competent. This study contributes to understanding how Islamic education in Indonesia successfully integrates religious values with national education systems, creating a unique model that can serve as a reference for other Muslim-majority countries. The findings show that this legal integration not only guarantees the existence of Islamic education but also provides space for innovation and development while maintaining Islamic authenticity.

The rapid development of information technology (IT) in the digital era has brought significant changes to the educational landscape, including the teaching and learning of Islamic Religious Education (IRE). This research aims to examine the forms, utilization, and impacts of IT-based Islamic educational media in supporting IRE learning. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review of relevant sources discussing interactive multimedia, instructional videos and animations, e-learning platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), and social media within the context of Islamic education. The findings indicate that the integration of IT-based media enhances the effectiveness of IRE learning by providing more interactive, contextual, and learner-centered instructional experiences that align with the characteristics of digital-native students. Interactive multimedia and instructional videos facilitate the visualization of abstract religious concepts, while e-learning platforms and AI support flexible, adaptive, and efficient learning processes. In addition, social media plays a significant role in expanding access to Islamic learning and digital da’wah. However, the use of information technology also poses potential negative impacts on students’ character development and lifestyle if not accompanied by adequate supervision and digital literacy. Therefore, the utilization of information technology in Islamic education must be guided wisely to not only improve instructional quality but also strengthen Islamic values and character formation.

Islamic education in the contemporary era faces the challenge of dualism between revelation-based education and science-based education. This research aims to comparatively dissect the models of Islamic education in three countries with distinct socio-political characteristics: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey. The primary issue addressed is how curriculum integration is implemented and to what extent state authority influences the independence of Islamic educational institutions. The research method employed is qualitative with a descriptive comparative study approach through library research data collection techniques. The findings indicate that Indonesia implements a pluralistic-decentralized model through the dichotomy of Madrasahs and Integrated Islamic Schools; Malaysia applies an integrative-centralized model that rigidly incorporates religious education into the national curriculum; while Turkey utilizes a functionalist model through Imam Hatip Schools that bridge Islamic values within a secular state framework. The conclusion of this study asserts that the success of Islamic education in various countries is determined not only by curricular content but also by the system's ability to adapt to political policies and global labor market demands.

Urban private secondary schools continue to face persistent challenges, particularly related to limited financial resources and declining public trust, which directly affect student enrollment rates. This study aims to analyze how the transformation of educational human resources (HR) contributes to improving school quality and increasing student enrollment. Employing a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the school principal as the key informant. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that educational HR transformation, particularly through systematic competency mapping and the implementation of structured coaching and mentoring programs, plays a critical role in enhancing instructional quality and cultivating a professional organizational culture. Furthermore, the integration of a low-cost school policy with continuous HR quality improvement has proven effective in increasing access to education and rebuilding public trust, as evidenced by a notable rise in student enrollment. The study implies that sustainable and strategically managed educational HR transformation serves as a fundamental mechanism for improving school quality and strengthening enrollment performance in urban private secondary schools.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi implementasi Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN) pada pekerjaan elektrikal proyek konstruksi bangunan gedung pemerintah di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif–evaluatif melalui studi kasus pada delapan lokasi proyek pemerintah. Evaluasi dilakukan terhadap capaian TKDN pada pekerjaan MVMDP, LVMDP, pemasangan kabel, pencahayaan, genset, trafo distribusi, dan biaya transportasi berdasarkan dokumen kontrak dan ketentuan regulasi yang berlaku. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa capaian TKDN antar proyek sangat bervariasi, dengan kecenderungan nilai TKDN rendah pada komponen berteknologi tinggi dan proyek di luar Pulau Jawa. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa keterbatasan material lokal dan ketimpangan distribusi industri menjadi tantangan utama dalam implementasi TKDN. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi empiris dalam mengevaluasi kebijakan TKDN pada pekerjaan elektrikal serta menjadi dasar rekomendasi kebijakan peningkatan TKDN yang lebih terarah.

Career management in a global company with employees from various countries is a strategic process that manages, develops, and facilitates the professional growth of employees in a multinational environment. This process involves career planning, competency development, and adjustment to cultural and regulatory diversity in various jurisdictions. The diversity of employees from several different countries impacts the competition to fill specific positions, so transparency about employee career paths in the company is needed. Currently, no system supports career management in global companies that provides transparency of employee career paths, so employees do not know the certainty of their careers in the company. The purpose of this research is to develop a blockchain sharding model for a global company that ensures transparency in the career paths of employees from various countries. By implementing blockchain technology, every transaction related to the career paths of employees from several countries will be validated by each node on the blockchain network. Blockchain technology applies peer-to-peer validation to each transaction before storing it on the blockchain network. This research selects blockchain sharding to enhance the efficiency of the validation process, which spans multiple countries. The study employs a qualitative approach that includes a literature review and software simulation using Hyperledger Fabric. Research results show that blockchain technology can increase the transparency of information about employee career levels.
