TAKDIR ILAHI DAN IKHTIAR PENGOBATAN: KEBEBASAN MANUSIA, TAWAKAL, DAN TANGGUNG JAWAB MORAL DALAM BIOETIKA ISLAM

Isdianto, Andik, Fitrianti, Novariza, Arif, Abdul Hamid, Purnama, Yugi Hari Chandra, Widada, Wahyudi
Abstract: Hubungan antara takdir ilahi, kebebasan manusia, dan pengobatan merupakan persoalan penting dalam pemikiran Islam dan bioetika Islam. Penelitian ini mengkaji mengapa manusia tetap memiliki tanggung jawab moral untuk melakukan… kukan pengobatan ketika sakit, sembuh, hidup, dan mati berada dalam pengetahuan dan ketetapan Allah. Penelitian menggunakan studi pustaka kualitatif dengan pendekatan filosofis-teologis dan komparatif-konseptual. Al-Qur’an, hadis, pemikiran teologi Islam, serta literatur kontemporer mengenai bioetika Islam, tawakal, fatalisme kesehatan religius, dan perilaku pencarian kesehatan Muslim dianalisis melalui sintesis konseptual. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa takdir ilahi tidak meniadakan agensi manusia. Ikhtiar pengobatan merupakan penggunaan sebab-sebab yang tersedia secara sadar dan bertanggung jawab di dalam tatanan ilahi, sedangkan tawakal melengkapi, bukan menggantikan, ikhtiar. Penelitian ini mengusulkan Model Tiga Ranah Agensi Manusia dalam Pengobatan, yang terdiri atas kondisi yang dialami, respons dan tindakan, serta hasil yang diterima. Tanggung jawab moral terutama berada pada ranah respons dan tindakan, meliputi kemampuan memperoleh informasi, mempertimbangkan alternatif, menentukan pilihan, dan menjalankan pengobatan secara wajar, sedangkan hasil terapi hanya sebagian berada dalam kontrol manusia. Karena itu, kegagalan terapi tidak dapat secara otomatis dipandang sebagai kegagalan moral atau lemahnya tawakal. Kerangka ini mengintegrasikan takdir, agensi manusia, sebab medis, dan tanggung jawab moral serta memberikan dasar teologis bagi perilaku pencarian kesehatan yang bertanggung jawab, dengan relevansi konseptual terhadap Sustainable Development Goal 3.

LEADERSHIP AND WORK-LIFE AS DRIVING FACTORS FOR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Ohoiwutun, Stanislaus Kostka, Rahawarin, Mohamad Arsad
Abstract: This study examines how leadership and work-life balance influence employee performance directly and indirectly through employee engagement at the Fisheries Service of Central Maluku Regency. A descriptive quantitative,&#8230; causal-correlational design was applied to the entire population of 49 employees using total sampling. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, path analysis, and Sobel tests to estimate direct, indirect, and mediating effects. The findings show that leadership significantly affects employee engagement (beta = 0.582; p < 0.001), while work-life balance also has a significant, although smaller, effect on engagement (beta = 0.129; p = 0.005). Employee engagement strongly affects performance (beta = 0.942; p < 0.001). In contrast, the direct effects of leadership (beta = 0.034; p = 0.613) and work-life balance (beta = -0.008; p = 0.756) on performance are not significant. Sobel testing confirms that employee engagement mediates the effect of leadership on performance (p = 0.00015) and the effect of work-life balance on performance (p = 0.03). The model explains 92.4% of the variance in performance. The study's novelty lies in demonstrating, within a local public-sector context, that leadership and work-life balance improve performance primarily by strengthening employee engagement rather than through direct effects. These findings imply that public organizations should prioritize engagement-oriented leadership and work-life policies to achieve sustainable employee performance.

IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY ON HANDLING VAGRANTS AND BEGGARS AT THE SOCIAL AFFAIRS OFFICE OF GORONTALO CITY

Madina, Fikram, Dance, Fenti Prihatini, Solihin, Dwi Indah Yuliani
Abstract: This descriptive qualitative research analyzes the effectiveness of policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City. Four indicators from George&#8230; orge C. Edward III's policy implementation theory—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—are employed as the analytical framework. Field data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation were systematically analyzed using the data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings indicate that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City has been running fairly well but has not yet been optimal. In the communication aspect, coordination among implementers has been functioning well; however, information dissemination to target groups and the general public remains suboptimal. In the resources aspect, policy implementation has been supported by human resources, authority, and facilities, yet is still constrained by limited personnel and underutilized facilities and databases. In the disposition aspect, officials demonstrate commitment, responsibility, and a professional attitude in implementing the policy; however, guidance programs have not been able to reach all vagrants and beggars on a sustainable basis. In the bureaucratic structure aspect, policy implementation has been supported by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), clear task distribution, and inter-division coordination; nevertheless, SOP implementation in the field still needs optimization to ensure services reach all target groups. Based on these findings, the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City needs to enhance communication and socialization to target groups, strengthen human resources and supporting facilities, optimize guidance and empowerment programs, and improve inter-agency coordination so that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars can be more effective in improving social welfare.

Digital Financial Transparency and Sustainable Public Governance: Evidence From Local Governments in West Java Province

Utie, Maulida Salmi, Ulfa, Muthia, Dalimunthe, Imaniel Rahel Riana
Abstract: Digital financial transparency is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly for building accountable and trustworthy public institutions. Limited studies examine whether digitalization&#8230; actually delivers accessible financial information and whether such transparency strengthens sustainable public governance. This study addresses that gap by constructing an original, multi-dimensional, portal-level Digital Financial Transparency Index (DFTI) and linking it to sustainable public governance, an association not previously tested at the Indonesian subnational level. Using a quantitative, explanatory design, financial management and public information portals are assessed through content analysis. Twenty-one indicators covering organizational information, financial transparency, and website accessibility are aggregated into the DFTI. Sustainable public governance is proxied by the 2024 electronic-based government system (SPBE) index, the only nationally standardized, externally assessed, and annually published measure of digital public administration maturity in Indonesia. Ordinary least squares regression tests the hypothesis, complemented by Spearman correlation as a non-parametric robustness check suited to the small city and regency subsamples. The findings show DFTI has a positive and significant effect on SPBE (β = 0.026; p = 0.032). The effect operates through content rather than appearance: among regencies, organizational information and financial transparency correlate significantly (p < 0.05) with SPBE, website accessibility does not. The results provide recommendations that local governments should adopt a standardized minimum financial-disclosure content and prioritize the weakest indicators, which are raw data, citizen-friendly budget summaries, and personal data protection. Also the provincial government should channel budget-capacity support to low-DFTI regencies, where transparency and maturity are most strongly associated with budget resources to advance SDG 17.

Circular Process Innovation for Sustainable Operations: A Review of TQM and Green Intelligence

Thahira, Agniya, Rahab, Rahab, Nurhasanah, Saniatun
Abstract: This study systematically reviews the development of Total Quality Management (TQM) practices in relation to Green Quality Intelligence Capabilities (GQIC), Circular Process Innovation (CPI), and Sustainable Operational&#8230; Performance (SOP). Responding to the need for a clearer review method and a more focused novelty, this article applies the PRISMA 2020-based Systematic Literature Review approach. Articles were identified from the Scopus database using keyword combinations related to TQM, quality management practices, green capability, green innovation, circular economy, circular process innovation, Industry 4.0, Quality 4.0, and sustainability performance. After identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and quality appraisal, 27 articles published between 2016 and 2026 were included in the final synthesis. The findings show that TQM literature has shifted from traditional quality control and customer satisfaction toward digital, green, and sustainability-oriented quality management. Soft TQM dimensions, such as leadership, employee involvement, training, and quality culture, and hard TQM dimensions, such as process management, quality tools, continuous improvement, and data-based decision making, remain dominant. However, prior studies still frequently use general mediators, including knowledge management, organizational culture, innovation capability, and competitive advantage. This review proposes CPI as a more specific mediation mechanism that translates TQM and GQIC into sustainable operational outcomes through waste reduction, resource efficiency, material reuse, energy efficiency, and circular process redesign. The study contributes by offering an integrated conceptual model and propositions for future empirical research on quality management, green intelligence, circular innovation, and sustainable operations.

Interest Rates and Financial Performance Effects on IDX30 Mining Stock Prices With Inflation As a Moderating Variable: Evidence From 2021–2024

Hudzaifa, Sarah Ardian, Syah, Silvana
Abstract: This study was motivated by fluctuations in the stock prices of mining sector companies listed in the IDX30 index during 2021–2024, Indonesia’s mineral downstreaming policy, and inconsistencies in previous research findings.&#8230; indings. This study aimed to analyze the effects of interest rates and financial performance, as measured by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER) and earnings per share (EPS), on the stock prices of IDX30 mining companies and to examine the moderating role of inflation. The population comprised all mining sector companies listed in the IDX30 index during the year 2021–2024, while the sample was selected using purposive sampling. This study employed a quantitative explanatory approach and panel data regression with Moderated Regression Analysis. The results showed that interest rates had a negative and significant effect on stock prices, whereas EPS had a positive and significant effect. DER did not significantly affect stock prices. Furthermore, inflation did not moderate the effects of interest rates, DER, or EPS on stock prices. These findings imply that mining companies should maintain sustainable profitability and consider interest rate dynamics in financial decision-making. Investors should also consider macroeconomic conditions and company fundamentals when formulating investment strategies.

PENGUATAN TALENT MANAGEMENT SEBAGAI FONDASI KEPEMIMPINAN ORGANISASI MAHASISWA: PENGABDIAN KEPADA MASYARAKAT MELALUI PEMBEKALAN MATERI PADA LATIHAN DASAR KEPEMIMPINAN MAHASISWA (LDKM) HIMPUNAN MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN EKONOMI

NUGRAHA, DERRY, JOKO, FATRA SYAHLAN, MIFTAH AMIR, R. EDY RACHMADIO
Abstract: The leadership of student organizations is an important foundation for the sustainability and effectiveness of student activities in higher education institutions. However, many student organization leaders do not yet have&#8230; ve a sufficient understanding of how to identify, develop, and maintain the potential of members (talent management), resulting in the leadership regeneration process often being less than optimal. This community service activity was conducted in the form of material preparation for the Student Leadership Basic Training (LDKM) organized by the Student Association (HIMA) of Economic Education on August 9, 2026, at Villa Cantik, with the theme "The Urgency of Leadership." A total of 55 students participated as event participants. The material presented focuses on talent management within organizations, covering the identification of member potential, competency development strategies, and mapping the regeneration of management. The implementation methods include interactive lectures, group discussions, and organizational case studies. The results of the activity show an increase in participants' understanding of the concept of talent management, marked by high enthusiasm in discussions and the participants' ability to formulate strategies for managing members' potential in organizational case simulations. This activity made a tangible contribution to strengthening students' leadership capacities and opened up opportunities for sustainable collaboration between academics and student organizations within the Economics Education Study Program

A MODEL OF CROSS-BORDER UNIVERSITY COLLABORATION IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF HUMANITARIAN AID TO FLOOD VICTIMS IN KETAMBE SUBDISTRICT (SOUTHEAST ACEH)

Assauwab, Muhammad Husaini, Kartono, Kartono, Ramud, Anuar, Sukriadi, Sukriadi, Alsi, Ilham, Apandi, Irfan, Marzuki, Mohd, Harith, Mohd
Abstract: The flood disaster that occurred in Ketambe District, Southeast Aceh Regency, at the end of 2025 caused significant impacts on local communities, including damage to housing, disruption of economic activities, and increased&#8230; sed demand for basic necessities. These conditions required a rapid, targeted, and well-coordinated humanitarian response. This community service program aimed to provide clothing and food assistance to flood victims while developing a cross-border university collaboration model for disaster response. The program was implemented through a partnership involving Universitas Gunung Leuser (UGL), Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM), and Insan Cakna. The implementation stages included needs assessment, institutional coordination, aid procurement, aid distribution, and program evaluation. UGL was responsible for needs assessment, local coordination, and aid distribution, while UPTM served as the primary donor providing financial assistance, clothing, and food supplies. Insan Cakna acted as the liaison and coordination facilitator between both institutions. The results demonstrated that the collaboration model improved the effectiveness and accuracy of aid distribution while strengthening institutional synergy in disaster response efforts. Beyond providing direct benefits to affected communities, the program generated a cross-border university collaboration model that can be replicated in future humanitarian and disaster management initiatives. The findings highlight that the success of humanitarian programs depends not only on the availability of aid but also on effective coordination, clear division of responsibilities, and sustainable institutional partnerships.

Heriansyah, Pebra, Seprido, Seprido, Nopriandi, Helpi, Putra, Wiko Susandy Edika, Ilhasana , Puti Annisa
Abstract: Muaro Sentajo possesses the potential to be developed as a production hub for native orchid species due to its location within the natural habitat of orchid species in Kuantan Singingi Regency, directly bordering the Sentajo&#8230; tajo Raya protected forest. Furthermore, the village has an underutilized female labor potential, organized within the Family Welfare Movement (Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga / PKK) as the foundational collective for rural women in Muaro Sentajo. This initiative aims to provide knowledge on native orchid species, cultivation techniques, integrated systems with stingless bees (kelulut), and digital marketing. The program implemented a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of asset mapping, practical cultivation workshops, e-commerce platform development, and four months of intensive mentoring. This empowerment program successfully established an active orchid breeding group managing more than 15 native orchid species. Additionally, 83.66% of the participants demonstrated proficiency in operating digital marketing channels (Instagram and Shopee), resulting in the first independent commercial sales of local orchid products. The integration of local ecological assets with modern digital marketing proved effective in enhancing the economic independence of rural women and promoting sustainable community development.
