Juwita Indah Permata, Rini Puji Astuti
Abstract: Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran penting dalam perekonomian sehingga memerlukan pengelolaan keuangan yang akuntabel melalui Sistem Informasi Akuntansi (SIA). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis penerapan… nerapan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi berbasis syariah pada penjualan UMKM Pabrik Tahu di Desa Tegalgusi Kabupaten Jember serta mengidentifikasi potensi dan kendala penerapan prinsip akuntansi syariah dalam mendukung akuntabilitas usaha. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pencatatan transaksi masih dilakukan secara manual melalui pencatatan pemasukan dan pengeluaran dalam buku harian. Penerapan tersebut telah mencerminkan nilai amanah, kejujuran, transparansi, dan prinsip maqashid syariah, khususnya hifz al-mal (perlindungan harta). Potensi penerapan prinsip syariah terlihat dari adanya pencatatan transaksi yang dapat ditelusuri sehingga mendukung akuntabilitas usaha. Namun, masih terdapat kendala berupa belum tersusunnya laporan keuangan formal, keterbatasan pemahaman akuntansi, serta belum adanya pemisahan keuangan usaha dan pribadi. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi berbasis syariah pada UMKM sektor pangan. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the national economy and require accountable financial management through an Accounting Information System (AIS). This study aims to analyze the implementation of a Sharia-based Accounting Information System in the sales activities of a tofu manufacturing MSME in Tegalgusi Village, Jember Regency, and to identify the potential and challenges of applying Sharia accounting principles in supporting business accountability. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the accounting information system is still implemented manually through the recording of cash inflows and outflows in a daily bookkeeping system. Despite its simplicity, the system reflects the values of trustworthiness, honesty, transparency, and the maqashid sharia principle, particularly hifz al-mal (protection of wealth). The potential of applying Sharia principles is evident in the existence of traceable transaction records that support business accountability. However, several challenges remain, including the absence of formal financial statements, limited accounting knowledge, and the lack of separation between business and personal finances. This study contributes to the development of Sharia-based Accounting Information Systems for MSMEs in the food industry sector.

Pembelajaran Akidah-Akhlak Dengan Pendekatan Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta

Wafiq Azizah, M. Ridwan Nur, Rita Puspita, Abdullah Abdullah
Abstract: Degradasi moral peserta didik di era digital yang ditandai meningkatnya intoleransi, perundungan, krisis empati, serta melemahnya integritas sosial menunjukkan adanya persoalan mendasar dalam praktik pendidikan nilai. Dalam&#8230; lam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak, orientasi yang masih dominan pada aspek kognitif dan normatif belum sepenuhnya diimbangi dengan penguatan dimensi afektif dan internalisasi nilai secara sistematis dalam desain kurikulum. Kesenjangan antara penguasaan konsep keagamaan dan manifestasi moral dalam kehidupan nyata menjadi problem epistemologis dan pedagogis yang memerlukan rekonstruksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan kerangka konseptual Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta sebagai paradigma alternatif dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan analisis hermeneutik terhadap konsep mahabbah dalam tradisi intelektual Islam, khususnya pemikiran Al-Ghazali, serta dikomparasikan dengan teori pendidikan humanistik modern. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta memiliki legitimasi teologis dan koherensi pedagogis dalam mengintegrasikan dimensi kognitif, afektif, dan spiritual secara utuh. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pemosisian cinta bukan sekadar sebagai nilai moral, melainkan sebagai prinsip epistemologis dan kurikuler yang menstrukturkan tujuan, proses, dan evaluasi pembelajaran secara sistematis dan transformatif. The moral decline of students in the di’Ital era, reflected in rising intolerance, bullying, diminished empathy, and weakened social integrity, indicates a fundamental problem in contemporary value education. In Akidah Akhlak instruction, learning practices remain predominantly cognitive and normative, while affective development and systematic value internalization are insufficiently integrated into curricular design. This gap between conceptual mastery of religious teachings and their moral enactment in lived experience represents an epistemological and pedagogical challenge requiring reconstruction. This study aims to formulate a conceptual framework for a Love-Based Curriculum as an alternative paradigm in Akidah Akhlak education. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, the study applies hermeneutic analysis to the concept of mahabbah within the Islamic intellectual tradition, particularly in the thought of Al-Ghazali, while comparatively engaging modern humanistic educational theory. The findings demonstrate that a Love-Based Curriculum possesses theological legitimacy and pedagogical coherence in integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions of learning. The novelty of this study lies in positioning love not merely as a moral value but as an epistemological and curricular principle that structures the aims, processes, and evaluation of Akidah Akhlak instruction in a systematic and transformative manner.

Candra Prayoga, Novia Nur Fitria, Naelli Rusdiana Fitri, Ari Fahimatussyam Putra Nusantara
Abstract: Perkembangan digitalisasi perpajakan di Indonesia mendorong hadirnya sistem administrasi Coretax sebagai upaya pembaharuan layanan perpajakan yang terintegrasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menggali ketaatan wajib pajak&#8230; k dalam implementasi Coretax dengan menekankan pada peran persepsi kemudahan penggunaan sistem dan pengaruh sanksi perpajakan. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif deskriptif menggunakan teknik wawancara mendalam kepada wajib pajak orang pribadi karyawan yang memanfaatkan sistem Coretax dalam melaporkan SPT Tahunan. Temuan pada penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa mayoritas wajib pajak masih menghadapi kendala pada tahap awal penggunaan sistem, khususnya dalam memahami fitur-fitur yang tersedia serta alur pelaporan pajak. Namun, setelah memperoleh pendampingan dan pengalaman penggunaan, wajib pajak mulai merasakan kemudahan dari layanan yang terintegrasi dalam satu platform. Selain itu, sanksi perpajakan dan tuntutan administratif dari lingkungan kerja juga menjadi faktor yang mendorong kepatuhan wajib pajak dalam pelaporan pajak. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kepatuhan wajib pajak dalam implementasi Coretax dipengaruhi oleh interaksi antara penerimaan teknologi dan faktor perilaku. The development of tax digitalization in Indonesia has encouraged the implementation of the Coretax administrative system as an effort to modernize and integrate tax services. This study aims to examine taxpayer compliance in the implementation of Coretax by emphasizing the role of perceived ease of use of the system and the influence of tax sanctions. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with individual employee taxpayers who utilized the Coretax system to file their Annual Tax Returns. The findings reveal that the majority of taxpayers still encountered difficulties during the initial stage of system usage, particularly in understanding the available features and the tax reporting procedures. However, after receiving assistance and gaining experience in using the system, taxpayers began to perceive the convenience offered by the integrated services within a single platform. In addition, tax sanctions and administrative demands from the workplace environment were also identified as factors encouraging taxpayer compliance in tax reporting. This study indicates that taxpayer compliance in the implementation of Coretax is influenced by the interaction between technology acceptance and behavioral factors..

Riheel Alnaas Taha, Ayman, Mohammed Alsanousi Alssayah Ahmed, Sarah, Hussain, Sajjad
Abstract: We live in the world where English language has become the most international language for communication among the other foreign languages. English just as the other languages has been used as a medium of communication for&#8230; or diplomatic relationship, administrative affairs, employment, commerce, or trade and above all for education. However, policies regarding foreign language teaching teachers in Northern Cyprus must be reviewed to provide immense opportunities to enhance language competence of both language teachers and learners. In this sense, foreign language teaching and learning policy in ELT as well as other foreign languages must be well taught and successfully integrated into school systems and societies. Hence, the open-ended questions have been administered to six (6) foreign language teachers to elicit more detailed responses concerning teachers’ perception on changing time and options in teaching industry. The findings reveal how significant it is to introduce positive changes in foreign language teaching. The study suggests to be circumspect in the implementation of language policies and classroom activities regarding foreign language teaching and learning in order to prevent negative influences on both the teachers’ and the learners’ first language, ethnicity or culture.

Exploring The Relationship Between Workplace Incivility and Productivity: SME’s Perspective

Imoh Emmanuel, Ph.D., Uwem,, Timilehin Olasoji, Ph.D., Olubiyi,, Arinola Aramide, Ph.D., Kuforiji,, Kabiru, Ishola, Ph.D., Genty,
Abstract: Increased productivity in SMEs in terms of quality service delivery is crucial for economic growth and development. Most SMEs are bedevilled with destructive workplace deviant behaviour, particularly the incivility of owners/managers&#8230; ners/managers and employees towards customers, which have different consequences for workplace performance parameters such as a decline in sales, low patronage, and by extension, weak gross domestic product contribution. Using the social exchange theory, this cross-sectional study examined the influence of workplace incivility on productivity among 365 owners/managers, supervisors, and employees of SMEs in the liquefied petroleum gas sub-sector in Lagos State. Stratified proportionate sampling was utilized to select the respondents. The outcomes revealed that workplace incivility in the form of rudeness, discourteous disposition, and derogatory remarks predicted productivity in terms of an interaction between customers and employees and the capacity of the service process. Also, our findings accentuated the essence of avoiding direct and indirect costs that are linked with workplace incivility. The study recommended the communal and positive interpersonal relationships between owners/managers, employees, and customers and suggested training on emotional intelligence as a panacea for behavioral responses.
