A Tolerant and Moderate Attitude Towards Differences in Fiqh: A Study of Students at The Bondok Buntet Islamic Boarding School
This research examined the levels of tolerance and moderation among pesantren (Islamic boarding school) students regarding differences in madhhab (schools of thought) and scholarly opinions within fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), while also analyzing the factors influencing these attitudes. The research was motivated by the urgency of addressing the increasing phenomena of intra-Islamic intolerance and sectarianism related to madhhab differences in Indonesia. Although studies on tolerance in Islamic contexts have generally focused on interfaith relations, research specifically examining intra-Islamic tolerance regarding fiqh schools of thought within pesantren communities remains limited in methodological and empirical aspects. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 320 students from Buntet Islamic Boarding School, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire with verified validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that 67.2% of students demonstrated high levels of tolerance and moderation. Comparative fiqh literacy (? = 0.412; p < 0.001) emerged as the strongest predictor of cross-madhhab tolerance, followed by the quality of kitab kuning (traditional Islamic texts) instruction (? = 0.318; p < 0.001) and the pesantren social environment (? = 0.241; p < 0.01). The study concluded that comparative fiqh curricula and the tradition of kitab kuning study contributed significantly to shaping students’ tolerance toward madhhab differences. These findings support efforts to strengthen religious moderation within pesantren institutions.

Evaluation of Road Pavement Conditions Using The Surface Distress Index (SDI) as A Basis for Determining Maintenance Priorities (Case Study: Guru Bangkol Road, Mataram City)
The condition of road pavement that continues to experience degradation due to traffic loads and environmental factors requires regular evaluation to determine appropriate maintenance priorities. This study aims to evaluate the pavement condition of Jalan Guru Bangkol, Mataram City, using the Surface Distress Index (SDI) method as a basis for determining road maintenance priorities. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach through a visual survey of the road surface condition. The 1.25 km road section was divided into 13 observation segments with 100-meter intervals. Primary data were obtained through direct observation of the parameters of crack area, crack width, number of potholes, and wheel groove depth (rutting), then analyzed based on the SDI guidelines of the Directorate General of Highways. The results showed that of the 13 observed segments, 10 segments (76.92%) were in good condition, 1 segment (7.69%) was in moderate condition, and 2 segments (15.39%) were in a condition of slight damage, while no segments were found with severe damage. Based on the SDI value classification, most road sections are recommended for routine maintenance, while one segment requires periodic maintenance and two segments require road rehabilitation. The research results show that the SDI method is able to provide a systematic evaluation of pavement conditions and supports the determination of more objective and effective maintenance priorities as a basis for decision making in urban road infrastructure management.

The Effect of Perceived Parental Support and Perceived Peer Support on Psychological Well-Being Among Adolescents Through Self-Esteem
This study examined the influence of perceived parental support and perceived peer support on adolescents’ psychological well-being, with self-esteem as a mediating variable. A quantitative correlational approach was employed involving 122 high school students aged 15–18 years in Bekasi Regency, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using four adapted psychological instruments and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results showed that both parental support (O = 0.545, p < 0.05) and peer support (O = 0.435, p < 0.05) had positive and significant direct effects on psychological well-being and self-esteem. Self-esteem was also found to significantly mediate the effects of parental support (O = 0.115, p < 0.05) and peer support (O = 0.122, p < 0.05) on psychological well-being. Notably, within the urban-industrial context of Bekasi Regency, peer support demonstrated a slightly stronger role in shaping self-esteem (O = 0.498) compared with parental support (O = 0.470). These findings highlight that the internalization of social support into positive self-esteem represents an important mechanism for improving adolescent psychological well-being. The findings also provide practical implications for parents, educators, and policymakers in developing effective support interventions to promote adolescent mental health.

The Relationship Between Pregnant Women Exposed to Secondhand Smoke and The Incidence of Low Birth Weight Infants (LBW) in The City of Semarang
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between secondhand smoke exposure among pregnant women and the incidence of low birth weight (LBW) in Semarang City. This study employed a quantitative observational analytic approach using a case-control design. A total of 282 respondents, consisting of 141 cases and 141 controls, were selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire adapted from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) and analyzed using the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression. The results showed that 76.6% of pregnant women were exposed to secondhand smoke during pregnancy, while the prevalence of low birth weight was 5.7%. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between secondhand smoke exposure and low birth weight (p < 0.001). The Odds Ratio (OR) indicated that pregnant women exposed to secondhand smoke had approximately 9.52 times higher odds of delivering a low birth weight infant than those who were not exposed. Multivariate analysis revealed that household income and maternal occupation remained significant factors associated with low birth weight after controlling for potential confounding variables. This study concluded that secondhand smoke exposure during pregnancy was significantly associated with the occurrence of low birth weight. Strengthening health education, incorporating secondhand smoke exposure screening into antenatal care services, and promoting smoke-free environments at home and in workplaces are recommended to reduce the incidence of low birth weight.

Strengthening Policies for The Development of The Hajj and Umrah Economic Ecosystem by Increasing Inward Spending
The implementation of Hajj and Umrah has transformed from a religious ritual into a strategic economic ecosystem; however, Indonesia has not yet fully captured its economic potential due to fragmented policies. This paper evaluates strategic options for optimizing Indonesia’s Hajj economic ecosystem. Using a mixed-method approach that combined secondary data analysis with a mini-survey of key decision-makers, three strategic options were evaluated: strengthening inward spending, increasing workforce participation, and optimizing the benefit value of managed Hajj funds. The survey findings revealed that strengthening inward spending was the highest priority for immediate implementation. This finding highlights the necessity of prioritizing inward spending to prevent capital outflows and maximize national economic growth. By strengthening trade logistics, expanding direct investment, and integrating domestic MSMEs into Saudi Arabia’s global supply chain, Indonesia can develop a resilient economic model that generates sustainable national value. Consequently, this option serves as a primary leverage point for capturing greater economic value, minimizing capital outflows, and enhancing the national multiplier effect.

Analysis of Kudus Regency's Leading Sectors: The Risks of Excise Tax on The Cigarettes Industry
This study examined the economic structure of Kudus Regency and its vulnerability to tobacco excise policy shocks using Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift-Share analyses. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary time-series data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) for 2023–2024, the study identified the manufacturing sector as the only economic base sector, with an average LQ of 2.296, while the other 16 sectors were classified as non-base sectors primarily serving local demand. The Shift-Share analysis revealed a substantial erosion of the manufacturing sector's competitive advantage, as indicated by a negative Differential Shift of IDR 989.29 billion, suggesting that the sector grew considerably more slowly than the corresponding sector in Central Java Province. This decline was associated with cumulative increases in Tobacco Products Excise (Cukai Hasil Tembakau [CHT]) rates, which increased production costs and reduced profitability. The Kudus Regency Government reported economic growth of only 2.78% in the first semester of 2025, considerably below the national average. Despite these challenges, several non-base sectors showed promising trends, with Construction and Other Services recording positive Differential Shifts of IDR 90.48 billion and IDR 73.74 billion, respectively, indicating potential opportunities for economic diversification. These findings underscore the need for strategic investment in economic diversification and the effective allocation of Tobacco Products Excise Revenue-Sharing Funds (Dana Bagi Hasil Cukai Hasil Tembakau [DBH CHT]) toward workforce development and non-tobacco enterprises to foster a more resilient regional economic structure.

Analysis of The Readiness, Challenges, and Adaptation of Marine Engineering Cadets in Performing Their Duties in The Engine Room During Sea Training
This study aims to analyze the level of readiness, obstacles, and adaptability of cadets of the Sorong Shipping Polytechnic Ship Ship Study Program while carrying out tasks in the engine room. The research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. Data was collected through a questionnaire containing 24 statements that included three constructs, namely readiness before sea practice, obstacles during practice, and occupational adaptation and safety. A total of 16 cadets who have carried out sea practice were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The results of the instrument test showed that all items were valid with Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.966 each; 0,926; and 0.988, which indicates very high reliability. The results of the study showed that cadets had a high level of readiness before sea practice, especially in understanding tasks in the engine room and the ship's engine system. The main obstacles faced are the lack of practical experience as well as the gap between on-campus learning and operational conditions on board. On the other hand, adaptability, working closely with the crew, and implementing safety procedures are in the high category. These findings show that marine practice plays an important role in integrating theoretical knowledge with real-world work experience and supporting the reinforcement of experiential learning through practice optimization, simulators, and collaboration with the shipping industry.

The Effect of ESG Disclosure and Leverage on Firm Value, with Profitability as A Moderating Factor, Among Energy-Sector Companies Listed on the IDX from 2020 to 2024
This study aimed to analyze the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Disclosure and Leverage on Company Value, with Profitability as a moderating variable, among energy-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. This study employed a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from Bloomberg, financial statements, and company annual reports. The research sample consisted of 17 companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 85 observations. Data analysis was conducted using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS software. The results showed that ESG Disclosure had a negative and significant effect on Company Value, while Leverage, measured using the Debt-to-Asset Ratio (DAR), had a positive and significant effect on Company Value. The Profitability moderation variable, measured using Return on Assets (ROA), was unable to moderate the effect of ESG Disclosure on Company Value but was able to significantly moderate the effect of Leverage on Company Value in a negative direction. These findings indicate that investors in energy-sector companies in Indonesia continue to prioritize fundamental financial factors over ESG disclosures when assessing Company Value, and that high profitability may weaken the positive impact of debt utilization on Company Value.

The Application of Diversion for Children as Perpetrators of Criminal Offenses During the Investigation Phase (A Study at the Cirebon City Police Station)
This research examines the implementation of diversion in handling juvenile cases at the investigation stage at the Cirebon City Police Department. The increasing involvement of children in criminal offences indicates that punitive approaches are no longer sufficient, making diversion — as a component of restorative justice — an important alternative. Diversion aims to resolve cases outside formal court proceedings while prioritising the best interests of the child and their social recovery. This research employs an empirical legal method with a socio-juridical approach, combining legal analysis with field data. Data were collected through interviews with investigators and supported by relevant legal literature and regulations. The findings reveal that diversion has been applied, though not consistently. Some cases are successfully resolved through diversion, while others proceed to formal judicial processes or are settled at the preliminary stage without formal diversion mechanisms. Several obstacles affect its implementation, including resistance from victims, public perceptions favouring punitive responses, limited understanding of restorative justice among law enforcement officers, and inadequate facilities. In conclusion, the implementation of diversion at the investigation stage remains in a transitional phase toward a fully restorative justice approach. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving public awareness, and enhancing coordination among stakeholders are necessary to ensure the effective application of diversion within the juvenile criminal justice system.

Law Enforcement Regarding Criminal Offenses Involving Online Gambling Committed by Minors
The increasing involvement of young people in illegal online gambling is facilitated by the rapid advancement of information technology. Children, who should be focusing on their education and personal development, are easily drawn into online gambling due to a lack of parental guidance, limited understanding of digital tools, and financial pressures that drive them to seek quick money. This research aims to determine how the law is enforced against child perpetrators of online gambling and to identify the factors that drive such behaviour. The study employs a qualitative approach with a focus on actual legal practices in the Cirebon area. Data were collected through interviews with the Cirebon City Police, document review, and analysis of primary and secondary legal sources. The findings indicate that a solid legal framework exists for handling child perpetrators of online gambling under the applicable laws, and that the police have endeavoured to comply with the procedures established by the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. However, challenges persist in law enforcement, including a lack of expertise in digital forensics, limited use of artificial intelligence technology for early detection, and insufficient digital literacy among the public. The factors driving children toward online gambling can be categorised into three main areas: financial pressures generating economic motives, the desire for instant rewards driven by psychological factors, and family dysfunction resulting from inadequate parental attention and supervision. The research concludes that an effective response requires a combined approach encompassing not only firm law enforcement action, but also preventive measures such as economic support for families and the improvement of digital literacy.

The Effect of Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Current Ratio on Stock Price with Earnings per Share as an Intervening Variable in Garment and Textile Subsector Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020–2024 Period
This study aims to analyze the effect of the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER) and Current Ratio (CR) on stock prices, with Earnings per Share (EPS) as an intervening variable, in garment and textile subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020–2024 period. This study employs an associative quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements and stock price records. The research sample consisted of 10 companies selected through purposive sampling, yielding a total of 50 units of research data. Data analysis was conducted using path analysis in SPSS, with mediation testing performed using the Sobel test. The results indicate that the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER) has no significant effect on Earnings per Share (EPS), whereas the Current Ratio (CR) has a significant effect on Earnings per Share (EPS). Earnings per Share (EPS) has no significant effect on stock price. Both the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER) and the Current Ratio (CR) significantly affect stock price. The results of the Sobel test show that Earnings per Share (EPS) does not mediate the effect of the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER) on stock price but does mediate the effect of the Current Ratio (CR) on stock price. This study concludes that a company's liquidity plays an important role in the formation of stock prices, both directly and through earnings per share, whereas capital structure exerts a direct effect without the mediating role of profitability.

The Effect of Emotional Intelligence and Self-Efficacy on Job Satisfaction in PT Gong Muke Craft Employees
Job satisfaction serves as a critical determinant of workforce performance and loyalty, particularly within labor-intensive industries characterized by repetitive tasks and emotional demands. This study examines the influence of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy on job satisfaction among employees of PT Gong Muke Craft, a rattan craft manufacturing company in Indonesia. Grounded in Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, this research addresses a notable gap in understanding psychological factors affecting manual craft workers, a population distinct from those in formal service or educational sectors. Employing a quantitative approach with causal associative design, data were collected through census sampling from 110 employees using validated questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence exerted a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (B = 0.166, p = 0.018), whereas self-efficacy demonstrated no significant partial influence (B = 0.103, p = 0.181). Nonetheless, both variables collectively contributed significantly to job satisfaction (F = 10.460, p = 0.000), explaining 16.4% of the variance. These findings underscore the predominant role of emotional regulation over self-confidence beliefs in shaping job satisfaction within routine-based manual work environments. Practically, this research recommends emotion-focused training interventions to enhance employee wellbeing and reduce turnover intentions in craft industries.

Netflix’s Glocalization Strategy in Framing Instagram Content in Indonesia and Australia
Everything has to adapt if it wants to survive. Social media is also the same. If observed, brands today make various efforts in building and conveying messages to customers across all cultures. This study examines how Netflix adapts its Instagram communication in Indonesia and Australia while maintaining a consistent global brand identity. Using a qualitative content analysis of Instagram posts from @NetflixID and @NetflixANZ promoting Bridgerton Season 4, this study applied Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and the concept of glocalization as analytical frameworks. The findings show that Netflix employed the same global visual promotional assets across both accounts but adapts message delivery through language choice and caption style. The Indonesian account uses a more narrative and expressive caption style, whereas the Australian account adopts a more concise and thematic approach. These differences indicate that glocalization is implemented at the level of communication rather than visual content and reflect Netflix’s adaptation to culturally shaped patterns of digital consumer behavior. This study highlights the importance of culturally responsive communication strategies in global brand communication on social media.

Evaluation of Antibiotic Utilization in Respiratory Tract Infections Using ATC/DDD and Gyssens Methods
Respiratory tract infections affect both the upper and lower respiratory tract and remain a major global health problem, with pneumonia prevalence reaching around 23% across all age groups. The high incidence often leads to increased antibiotic use, which may contribute to antimicrobial resistance if used inappropriately. Therefore, antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs are essential to monitor and optimize antibiotic use in hospitals. This study aimed to analyze antibiotic utilization in patients with respiratory tract infections using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical/Defined Daily Dose (ATC/DDD) method and the Gyssens method at Dr. Soedarso Regional General Hospital, Pontianak. A prospective observational study was conducted using medical record data of 248 inpatients aged ?18 years who received antibiotic therapy during January–December 2023. The results showed that most patients were male (62.9%). Quantitative analysis indicated that Ceftriaxone and Levofloxacin were the most frequently used antibiotics based on DDD/100 patient-days. Qualitative evaluation using the Gyssens method revealed that most antibiotic use was appropriate, although some cases still showed inappropriate indications, duration, alternative therapy selection, and timing of administration.

The Effect of Project-Based Learning in Building Water Rockets on Elementary School Students’ Independent Learning and Critical Thinking
The development of 21st-century skills, particularly learning independence and critical thinking, has become an important focus in elementary education. However, many elementary school students still demonstrate limited independence in managing their learning processes and underdeveloped critical thinking skills due to the dominance of conventional teacher-centered learning approaches. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is considered an effective instructional model because it encourages students to actively construct knowledge through meaningful experiences, problem-solving activities, and real-world projects. This study aimed to examine the effect of water rocket-based Project-Based Learning on elementary school students’ learning independence and critical thinking skills. The research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental method using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants were elementary school students from the Rantasari Cluster, Ajibarang District, with data collected through observation, critical thinking tests, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using prerequisite tests, independent-samples t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed that PjBL through water rocket-making activities significantly improved students’ critical thinking skills (p = 0.023 < 0.05) and learning independence (p = 0.012 < 0.05) compared with conventional learning methods. Furthermore, critical thinking skills and learning independence demonstrated a significant moderate relationship, with a correlation coefficient of 0.490. These findings indicated that water rocket-based PjBL provided meaningful learning experiences that promoted student autonomy, exploration, collaboration, and higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, PjBL can be recommended as an innovative instructional strategy to strengthen elementary students’ critical thinking and independent learning abilities.

Analysis of Tax Disputes in Sales Transactions Involving Special Relationships in the Palm Oil Industry: A Case Study of Appeal Decisions from 2021 to 2025
Transfer pricing disputes in related-party sales transactions remain a significant tax issue, particularly in the palm oil industry, which plays an important role in Indonesia’s economy. The complexity of determining arm’s length prices, differences in comparative data sources, and varying interpretations between taxpayers and tax authorities often lead to prolonged disputes before the Tax Court. This study aims to identify the factors causing tax disputes in sales transactions involving special relationships in the palm oil industry and to provide recommendations for minimizing similar disputes in the future. This research employed a qualitative approach using a comparative case study design. Data were obtained from 16 Tax Court appeal decisions issued between 2021 and 2025, supported by relevant regulations and semi-structured interviews with tax experts and practitioners. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis, thematic analysis, Fishbone Diagram, and the 5 Whys root cause analysis technique. The results indicate that tax disputes are primarily caused by five interconnected factors: methodology, comparative data, documentation, consistency of corrections, and regulation. The findings show that 87.5% of the analyzed decisions were fully won by taxpayers, indicating weaknesses in the evidentiary basis of tax corrections. The main root causes include the absence of a hierarchy of commodity price references, inconsistent transfer pricing methodologies, and inadequate technical guidance. This study concludes that reducing transfer pricing disputes requires improvements in regulatory certainty, audit quality, taxpayer documentation, and the development of standardized commodity price databases.

Visual Storytelling on Instagram by Eco-Print SMEs: Visual Semiotic Analysis and Brand Communication Strategy of Tiva Craft
The rapid growth of digital platforms has created new opportunities for micro, small, and medium enterprises (SMEs) to strengthen brand identity through visual communication. Eco-print-based SMEs possess unique visual assets derived from natural materials and handcrafted processes; however, these potentials are often underutilized in social media branding. This study aims to analyze how Tiva Craft’s Instagram content constructs brand narratives through visual storytelling and to develop a strategic framework for strengthening eco-print SME branding. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using Roland Barthes’ visual semiotic analysis. Data were collected from 30 purposively selected Instagram posts from the @tiva_craft account during a one-year observation period. The analysis focused on visual elements, caption narratives, and content patterns at denotative, connotative, and mythological levels. The findings reveal that Tiva Craft’s Instagram content is predominantly oriented toward product documentation, particularly products worn by models during activities and event participation, while content highlighting raw materials, production processes, and product uniqueness remains limited. The visual analysis indicates that existing posts primarily communicate literal product information and have not fully developed deeper brand meanings related to sustainability, craftsmanship, and authenticity. This study proposes a five-dimensional visual storytelling framework consisting of raw materials, creative process, finished products, brand values, and community engagement. The framework can support eco-print SMEs in developing more consistent and meaningful digital brand communication. The study concludes that systematic visual storytelling strategies are essential for transforming eco-print products into distinctive brand narratives on Instagram.

The Challenge of Diagnosing Asymptomatic Malaria During the Elimination Phase: An Implications for the Sensitivity of Laboratory Methods and Surveillance Strategies in Indonesia
Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, particularly during the elimination phase, where asymptomatic and sub microscopic infections become major obstacles to interrupting transmission. Individuals with asymptomatic malaria often do not seek treatment but may serve as hidden reservoirs that sustain parasite circulation in endemic communities. Conventional diagnostic methods, including microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), have limited sensitivity in detecting infections with low parasite density, creating challenges for accurate surveillance and case management. This study aims to analyze the challenges of diagnosing asymptomatic malaria, compare the sensitivity of available laboratory methods, and evaluate their implications for malaria elimination strategies in Indonesia. This study employed a literature review with an analytical-critical approach by reviewing scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The reviewed studies focused on diagnostic performance comparisons among microscopy, RDT, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative PCR (qPCR), and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The findings indicate that microscopy and RDT have limited sensitivity in detecting sub microscopic infections, whereas molecular methods demonstrate superior diagnostic accuracy, with PCR and qPCR capable of identifying parasite densities below the detection limits of conventional approaches. However, the implementation of molecular diagnostics remains constrained by infrastructure, cost, and human resource limitations. In conclusion, malaria elimination in Indonesia requires an integrated diagnostic strategy combining conventional methods with selective molecular testing, strengthened laboratory capacity, and improved surveillance systems to detect hidden infections and prevent residual transmission.

Forecasting Intermittent Disbursements for Non-Routine Investment Budget Expenditures Using the TSB–Croston–ADIDA Model with Hierarchical Reconciliation: A Case Study of Disbursements at PLN ULP Sulawesi
This research evaluates three Intermittent Demand Forecasting (IDF) methods Croston, TSB, and ADIDA for non-routine investment disbursement at PLN UIP Sulawesi, characterized by intermittent and lumpy patterns. Using a three-stage analytical approach (in-sample validation on 29 PRKs, rolling origin out-of-sample on 180 PRKs, and production forecast on 959 PRKs) with MASE, MAE, and ME metrics, ADIDA emerged as the best method with consistent win-rate dominance (58.6% in Phase 1; 64.2% in Phase 2). Hierarchical reconciliation using Weighted Least Squares (WLS) produced a coherent 2026 forecast of IDR 2,781.89 billion, outperforming Bottom-Up and Top-Down approaches in hold-out validation. These findings provide an empirical foundation for data-driven cash planning at PLN UIP Sulawesi, with the ADIDA–WLS pipeline offering a validated, auditable, and computationally efficient framework for Monthly Cash Budget preparation. The methodological framework's auditability particularly the traceability of WLS weight matrices to empirical error sources supports readiness for SAP S/4HANA Single Source of Truth (SSoT) Wave 3 implementation scheduled for October 2027, while the PRK-level forecast matrix enables hybrid statistical-expert judgment review to address administrative zero constraints. This research contributes theoretically by extending IDF literature beyond spare parts inventory into infrastructure investment cash management, and practically by providing operational tools for working capital optimization, KPI cascading, and systematic investment portfolio phasing within PLN's Transformation 2.0 agenda.

The Integration of Women’s Roles and Innovation Capability on Women’s Creativity with Work – Family Balance as a Moderating Variable: A Study of Micro – Scale Food Vendors in Cirebon Regency
While female entrepreneurs in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in economic development, they frequently face challenges in balancing dual responsibilities between work and family. These conditions require effective role integration, innovation capability, and work–family balance to enable female MSME entrepreneurs to sustain and enhance their creativity in managing their businesses. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the influence of women’s role integration and innovation capability on the creativity of female MSME entrepreneurs in Cirebon Regency, while also investigating the role of work–family balance as a moderating variable. This study employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires. The sample consisted of 130 female entrepreneurs operating micro-scale food businesses in Cirebon Regency. Data were analyzed using regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 29. The findings showed that women’s role integration and innovation capability had positive and significant effects on the creativity of female MSME entrepreneurs. However, the moderation analysis revealed that work–family balance did not moderate the relationship between role integration or innovation capability and women-led MSME creativity. This study demonstrated that women’s ability to effectively manage multiple roles and strengthen their innovation capability significantly enhanced creativity in MSME management. By highlighting the importance of individual capabilities and human capital over contextual factors in fostering innovation among women-led MSMEs, this study contributes to the existing literature on women entrepreneurship and business creativity.

The Effect of Being Overweight and Obesity on Self-Confidence Levels Among Teenagers at State High School 22 in Jakarta and A Review from an Islamic Perspective
Overweight and obesity among adolescents have become significant public health concerns because they not only increase the risk of physical diseases but also affect psychological well-being, particularly self-confidence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between overweight and obesity status and self-confidence levels among adolescents at State High School 22 Jakarta and to review the findings from an Islamic perspective. This study employed an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of students in grades X and XI at State High School 22 Jakarta, with 128 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements and the Self-Confidence Scale questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using univariate analysis and the Fisher’s exact test with the assistance of SPSS software. The results showed that most respondents were categorized as overweight (43.8%), followed by obesity class I (39.1%) and obesity class II (17.2%). Most adolescents demonstrated high self-confidence levels (64.8%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between overweight and obesity status and self-confidence levels among adolescents (p = 0.005). From an Islamic perspective, physical conditions do not determine human dignity, as every individual is created in the best form by Allah SWT. Therefore, adolescents with overweight or obesity require holistic support involving physical health management, psychological assistance, and spiritual strengthening to develop positive self-acceptance and self-confidence.

Interpreting the Social Message in the Lyrics and Visuals of the Music Video for the Song "Semua Akan Indah Pada Waktunya" by Pilotz Band feat. Roy Jeconiah
This study aims to interpret the social communication messages in the lyrics and music-video visualization of "Semua Akan Indah Pada Waktunya" performed by Pilotz Band featuring Roy Jeconiah. It employs a constructivist paradigm, a qualitative descriptive approach, and Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth. Data were collected through observation of the lyrics and eighteen music-video scenes, documentation, and in-depth interviews with seven informants involved in the creation and production of the work, as well as an audience member and a film practitioner. Source triangulation was used to strengthen data credibility. The findings show that the lyrics signify life as a cyclical process filled with hardship that should be faced with patience, gratitude, faith, and perseverance. The visualization presents signs of health workers, a laid-off employee, an elderly street vendor, and informal workers, representing the health, economic, and emotional pressures experienced during the pandemic. At the connotative level, gestures such as giving flowers, helping retrieve balloons, buying merchandise, offering drinking water, and encouraging a laid-off worker emphasize empathy, solidarity, care, and social support. The myth constructed is a collective belief that resilience, hard work, mutual assistance, and unity enable society to overcome difficult times. The song and music video therefore function not merely as entertainment but as social communication media that convey optimism and strengthen social resilience.

Analysis of the Relationship Between WBS, SOP, BIM, LS, and IS for Dam Maintenance
Dams are critical national infrastructure assets that the Indonesian government has developed extensively over the past decade to improve water security and mitigate the impacts of drought and extreme weather events. This large-scale development has created increasing demands for effective and sustainable dam maintenance. At present, dam maintenance activities have not been systematically implemented using a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)-based approach. Ideally, maintenance performance should be optimized by first identifying the complete scope of maintenance components and then developing maintenance guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for each identified component. These WBS-based maintenance procedures and guidelines can subsequently be integrated into a maintenance management model using Building Information Modeling (BIM). To support real-time monitoring and inspection, laser scanning (LS) technology can be integrated with BIM and information systems (IS). This study forms part of the development of an electronic dam maintenance (e-maintenance) system by examining the relationships among the key components of the proposed framework, namely WBS, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), BIM, laser scanning (LS), and information systems (IS), and their influence on improving dam maintenance performance. Multiple regression analysis, followed by expert validation, was employed to evaluate the significance of these variables in the proposed dam maintenance system. The results indicate strong relationships among the variables, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.714 to 0.822. Among the variables, WBS exhibited the strongest influence on dam maintenance performance, with the highest standardized regression coefficient (b = 0.237), whereas the remaining variables produced coefficients ranging from 0.048 to 0.173.
