Transformasi digital di sektor pemerintahan Indonesia menghadapi berbagai kesulitan dalam menggabungkan kecerdasan buatan (AI) ke dalam sistem informasi yang sudah usang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari cara-cara pengorganisasian daerah mengadaptasi diri serta tantangan yang muncul selama proses perubahan tersebut. Peneliti menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan pedoman PRISMA untuk memilih dan menganalisis 24 artikel yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2019 hingga 2025. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah daerah umumnya menerapkan strategi adaptasi campuran karena keterbatasan dana, namun metode ini sering kali memicu masalah dalam pertukaran data. Tantangan utama yang dihadapi tidak hanya terkait teknologi, tetapi juga hambatan dari struktur birokrasi, ketidakpedulian terhadap perubahan, serta ketidakmampuan sumber daya manusia dalam menghadapi kemajuan era desentralisasi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa penggunaan AI di daerah hanya bisa berhasil jika masalah teknis sistem lama dapat segera diatasi serta pemerintahan modern dan efisien sudah diperbaiki sebelum mengadopsi teknologi baru.

<p>Semiotika merupakan cabang ilmu yang mengkaji tanda dan makna, serta bagaimana realitas dikonstruksi melalui sistem tanda Bagaimana relevansi makna tersebut jika dikaitkan dengan penafsiran dalam Tafsir Al-Misbah karya Quraish Shihab, penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji makna simbolik kata ‘Arsy dalam Q.S. Thaha [20]: 5 dengan pendekatan semiotika Michael Riffaterre serta menelaah relevansinya melalui penafsiran dalam Tafsir Al-Misbah karya Quraish Shihab. Semiotika sebagai ilmu tentang tanda digunakan untuk mengungkap proses pemaknaan yang tidak hanya bersifat literal, tetapi juga simbolik dan kontekstual. Teori Riffaterre, yang terdiri dari pembacaan heuristik, hermeneutik, matriks, dan hipogram, diaplikasikan untuk menginterpretasi kedalaman makna ‘Arsy sebagai simbol kekuasaan mutlak Allah SWT. Penelitian ini merupakan studi pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif interpretatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa makna ‘Arsy tidak terbatas pada aspek linguistik sebagai "singgasana", melainkan mencerminkan kekuasaan dan pengaturan Allah terhadap alam semesta. Interpretasi simbolik ini semakin kuat ketika dikaji secara intertekstual dengan ayat-ayat lain dalam Al-Qur’an dan ditopang oleh pandangan mufasir kontemporer. Pendekatan semiotik Riffaterre terbukti mampu memperkaya pemahaman tafsir dengan membuka ruang pemaknaan yang dalam, kontekstual, dan tidak kaku terhadap teks suci.</p>

The development of a community-based education management model is not an entity separate from its community. On the contrary, Islamic educational institutions should be an integral part of society and responsive to the needs and aspirations of the community. This study aims to analyze the community-based management model in the development of Islamic educational institutions. The research method used in this study is library research. The results show that the community-based education management model is an approach in managing educational institutions that emphasizes the active role of the community in decision-making, program implementation, and evaluation of educational outcomes. The application of this model in developing Islamic educational institutions can be carried out through: community participation, involving parents in children's education activities, integrating local values and religion in the curriculum, partnerships with local communities by involving them in developing educational programs, community-based curricula through collaboration among various educational institutions, and continuous evaluation. This model is expected to serve as a foundation for the effective and efficient management of Islamic educational institutions that can address increasingly complex challenges.

This study looks at how the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model is used in Christian Religious Education (CRE) and checks how it helps students develop their critical thinking abilities. In today’s education system, students are not just expected to remember Bible stories, but also to understand what they mean, think about the moral lessons, and use Christian values wisely in their everyday lives. However, past observations show that CRE classes often use a lot of lectures and memorization, which doesn’t give students much chance to think deeply or link what they learn to real-life situations. The CTL model provides a better way for learning by using seven key parts: constructivism, inquiry, questioning, learning community, modeling, reflection, and real-world assessmen. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving CRE teachers and students selected purposively from classes that have integrated CTL in online and face-to-face settings. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and instructional documents. The analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s stages of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation to strengthen credibility. The findings reveal that CTL enhances student engagement, promotes higher-order reasoning, and supports the internalization of Christian values in real-life contexts. Supporting factors include a positive school climate, parental involvement, and teacher readiness, whereas obstacles emerge from limited facilities, large class sizes, and insufficient teacher understanding of CTL. The study underscores the need for context-based and character-oriented instructional designs in CRE.

Spiritual needs during adolescence are very important because this time in life helps shape who a person is, how they feel, and their beliefs. This study looks at the spiritual needs of teenagers and young people at GKE Betang Kahanjak Palangkaraya, and explores ways that Christian Religious Education (PAK) can help them grow spiritually. By looking at existing research and observing the local context, the study finds that young people need support in their personal spirituality, their Christian identity, building relationships, getting guidance, becoming stronger in tough situations, and making good moral choices. Good PAK approaches include mentoring that focuses on relationships, studying the Bible in a way that fits their situation, using digital tools for spiritual growth, combining service with learning, and guidance that builds strong character. Churches need to keep up with how young people are changing and create new ways of ministry that really help teenagers and young adults grow spiritually.

This article examines the issue of unequal rights between husbands and wives in Islamic family law in Indonesia, particularly as reflected in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and the practice of religious courts. Although Islamic family law aims to promote harmony and justice within the household, several provisions still reflect patriarchal biases that disadvantage women, including the doctrine of wifely obedience, unilateral divorce rights for husbands, and the legitimization of polygamy. In addition, the prevalence of unregistered marriages (nikah siri) and divorces conducted outside court procedures further weakens legal protection for women and children. Using a normative-analytical approach, this article argues that gender inequality in Islamic family law does not originate from the principles of Sharia itself, but from historical interpretations and patriarchal sociocultural structures embedded in legal norms. Therefore, reforming Islamic family law is necessary to ensure alignment with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah justice, public welfare, and the protection of human dignity. This article offers several reform strategies, including revising discriminatory articles of the KHI, strengthening marriage registration systems, improving gender-sensitive legal literacy, and increasing women’s participation in legislative and policy-making processes. Through these efforts, Islamic family law can develop into an egalitarian and contextually relevant system capable of advancing substantive justice in modern society.

Latar Belakang: Aktivitas penambangan emas skala kecil di sekitar Sungai Kahayan menyebabkan kontaminasi merkuri yang dapat masuk ke tubuh manusia melalui air atau makanan. Merkuri bersifat toksik dan dapat memengaruhi kondisi saliva, termasuk pH, yang turut berperan dalam proses terbentuknya karies gigi. Studi tentang hubungan langsung kadar merkuri dan keasaman saliva terhadap karies masih terbatas, khususnya pada kelompok penambang emas. Tujuan studi ini menganalisis hubungan kadar merkuri dan derajat keasaman saliva terhadap indeks DMF-T pada penambang emas skala kecil di Desa Ramang, Kecamatan Banama Tingang, Kabupaten Pulang Pisau.Metode: Jenis penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional study dengan 30 Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan desain cross-sectional yang dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2024. Sebanyak 30 responden penambang emas dipilih secara purposive sampling. Variabel kadar merkuri dalam saliva diukur menggunakan Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), pH saliva menggunakan pH meter digital, dan indeks DMF-T diperoleh melalui pemeriksaan klinis gigi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman.Hasil: Rerata kadar merkuri dalam saliva adalah 290,6 mg/L, yang tergolong sangat tinggi dibanding ambang batas aman dalam tubuh (20 mg/L). Rerata pH saliva sebesar 4,8 menunjukkan kondisi asam (pH < 5,5), dan indeks DMF-T sebesar 13,4 mengindikasikan tingkat kerusakan gigi yang sangat tinggi (DMF-T≥9,0). Hasil uji Spearman menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar merkuri dengan indeks DMF-T (p = 0,704) maupun antara pH saliva dengan indeks DMF-T (p = 0,403).Simpulan: Meskipun kadar merkuri dan pH saliva cukup bervariasi di antara responden, keduanya tidak memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan indeks DMF-T. Keterbatasan penelitian ini tidak memasukan faktor lain seperti pola makan dan kebersihan gigi yang dapat memengaruhi kejadian karies gigi pada penambang emas skala kecil di Desa Ramang, Kabupaten Pulang Pisau. ABSTRACT Title: Correlation between Mercury (Hg) Levels and Salivary Acidity with DMF-T Index among Small-Scale Gold Miners in Ramang Village, Pulang Pisau RegencyBackground: Small-scale gold mining activities around the Kahayan River have led to mercury contamination, which can enter the human body through water or food. Mercury is toxic and can affect salivary conditions, including pH, which plays a role in the development of dental caries. Studies investigating the direct relationship between mercury levels and salivary acidity in relation to caries are still limited, particularly among gold miners. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mercury levels and salivary pH with the DMF-T index among small-scale gold miners in Ramang Village, Banama Tingang Subdistrict, Pulang Pisau Regency.Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted in May 2024. A total of 30 small-scale gold miners were selected through purposive sampling. Mercury levels in saliva were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), salivary pH was assessed using a digital pH meter, and the DMF-T index was obtained through clinical dental examinations. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation test.Results: The average mercury level in saliva was 290.6 µg/L, which is considered very high compared to the safe threshold (20 µg/L). The mean salivary pH was 4.8, indicating an acidic condition (pH < 5.5), and the DMF-T index averaged 13.4, suggesting a very high level of dental caries (DMF-T ≥ 9.0). Spearman’s test showed no significant correlation between mercury levels and the DMF-T index (p = 0.704), nor between salivary pH and the DMF-T index (p = 0.403).Conclusion: Although mercury levels and salivary pH varied among respondents, neither showed a significant relationship with the DMF-T index. This study is limited by not accounting for other influencing factors such as dietary habits and oral hygiene, which may contribute to the occurrence of dental caries among small-scale gold miners in Ramang Village, Pulang Pisau Regency.

This study aims to investigate the relationships among investment, unemployment, inflation, quality education, economic growth, and social well-being in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, with a focus on identifying the implications for sustainable development. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 2005 to 2023 and analyzed using statistical methods to test various hypotheses related to mediation and moderation effects. The key findings indicate that none of the proposed hypotheses were accepted, revealing a complex interplay among the examined variables. Specifically, investment and economic growth did not automatically lead to improvements in social well-being, while quality education alone was insufficient to address issues of unemployment and inflation. These findings contribute to the existing literature by highlighting the need for a holistic approach to economic development that integrates social equity and community involvement. The study underscores the importance of developing inclusive investment strategies and educational reforms that align with local labor market needs. Ultimately, the research advocates for policy frameworks that address the interconnectedness of economic and social factors to achieve sustainable development in the region.

Unplanned outages in power transmission systems cause significant economic and stability challenges. Rapid and accurate fault diagnosis is critical for minimizing outage duration, yet utilities often rely on manual analysis of waveforms from Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs), a process that is time-consuming, prone to error, and inconsistent. To automate this task, this study proposes a deep learning framework for multiclass faults cause classification. Utilizing a dataset of 687 real-world fault events, comprising causes like lightning, animal contact, tree contact, and unknown factors waveform data was converted into images for processing. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on the VGG19 architecture was trained on 550 samples and validated on 137 samples. The model achieved a classification accuracy of 86%, effectively distinguishing between the four fault categories. These results demonstrate the strong potential of CNNs to automate fault analysis, thereby accelerating grid restoration, improving system reliability, and outperforming traditional manual methods.
