This study aims to describe teachers' efforts in overcoming the learning difficulties experienced by inclusive students at SMP Negeri 12 Solok Selatan. The research employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that teachers implemented various strategies to support inclusive students in the learning process. These efforts included providing guidance and learning motivation, applying individualized approaches to establish effective communication, offering emotional and psychological support, involving parents through consultations and home visits, and encouraging students to reflect on and develop learning strategies that suit their needs. These initiatives were carried out gradually and continuously through collaboration among subject teachers, counseling teachers, parents, and peers. The study indicates that personal and collaborative approaches can help inclusive students become more confident, actively participate in classroom learning, and receive support that aligns with their individual characteristics and learning needs. Therefore, the role of teachers is essential in creating an inclusive learning environment that supports the academic and personal development of students.

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.

ion on productivity, and the relationship between anxiety and productivity among educational staff at UIN Palopo. This research employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The sample consisted of 65 educational staff. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed that mutation had a positive and significant effect on employee anxiety, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a coefficient of determination of 48%. Mutation also had a positive and significant effect on productivity, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a coefficient of determination of 43%. Meanwhile, the correlation between anxiety and productivity was 0.198 with a significance value of 0.114 > 0.05, indicating that the relationship was not significant. Therefore, mutation had an effect on anxiety and productivity, while anxiety did not have a significant relationship with the productivity of educational staff at UIN Palopo.
Abstract:This study is motivated by a fundamental problem concerning how the character-education values contained in the book of Akhlāq Lil Banīn can be implemented consistently and meaningfully within Arabic language learning, amid…
amid an intense schedule, a diversity of methods, and the gap between the readiness of learners and educators in the boarding environment. This study aims to analyze and describe the implementation of character-education values from the book of Akhlāq Lil Banīn in Arabic language learning activities at the MBS Al Mujahidin Islamic Boarding School, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. The method used is qualitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation; informants were selected by purposive sampling, and data analysis comprised data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the implementation of character values takes place integratively, intensively, and contextually through a combination of formal school activities and non-formal dormitory activities such as mufrodat, hiwar, muhadhoroh, qirā’ah, muḥādatsah, and integrated Arabic learning. These activities not only develop linguistic competence but also serve as a medium for internalizing religious, disciplinary, responsibility, and social-care values through habituation and role modeling. Challenges were also found in the form of differing prior abilities among learners, a dense activity schedule, and the dynamic assignment of educators, all of which affect the absorption and internalization of values. It is concluded that the success of Akhlāq Lil Banīn-based character education depends heavily on pedagogical adaptation, differentiated learning, and management of the activity rhythm.

life. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used to reduce joint pain is a warm ginger compress because it has anti-inflammatory effects and provides warmth to the painful area. Objective: To determine the effect of warm ginger compress therapy on reducing joint pain levels in older adults. Methods: This study used a descriptive case study design involving two older adults with joint pain in Kampung Guwosari, RT 02/RW 27, Jebres, Surakarta. The intervention was conducted for 3 consecutive days, once daily for 15–20 minutes. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results: Respondent 1 experienced a decrease in pain scale from 7 to 4, while Respondent 2 experienced a decrease from 4 to 2 after receiving warm ginger compress therapy for 3 days. Conclusion: Warm ginger compress therapy can help reduce joint pain levels in older adults and can be used as a simple, safe, and affordable non-pharmacological therapy.
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…
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.
Abstract:Traditional markets face increasing competition from modern retail and digital commerce, requiring effective strategies to sustain consumers' visit intention despite physical accessibility constraints. This study investigates…
gates the effects of market image and TikTok promotion on consumers' visit intention, with perceived shopping accessibility serving as a mediating variable in the context of Pasar Cidu Makassar. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data collected from 130 consumers who had visited Pasar Cidu Makassar. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that market image and TikTok promotion have positive and significant effects on both perceived shopping accessibility and visit intention. Perceived shopping accessibility also has a positive and significant effect on visit intention. However, it does not mediate the relationships between market image and visit intention or between TikTok promotion and visit intention. These findings suggest that consumers' intention to visit a traditional market is influenced more by favorable market image and effective digital promotion than by perceived shopping accessibility. Traditional market managers can utilize TikTok to promote market products, atmosphere, and activities through engaging and informative content to strengthen consumers' intention to visit. Consistent TikTok promotion can also serve as a practical digital marketing strategy to increase the market's visibility among potential visitors. This study contributes to the literature on traditional market marketing by demonstrating the importance of integrating market image and social media promotion to strengthen consumers' visit intention despite physical accessibility limitations.

inant factor influencing audit quality. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research population consisted of all auditors at the South Sulawesi Provincial Inspectorate. A saturated sampling technique was applied, resulting in 53 respondents whose questionnaires were successfully collected and met the research criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that professionalism, independence, and work motivation simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on audit quality. This finding is supported by an F-value of 25.053 with a significance level of 0.001 and an adjusted R-squared value of 0.581, indicating that the three variables explain 58.1% of the variation in audit quality. Partially, professionalism has a positive and significant effect on audit quality, as indicated by a t-value of 2.983 and a significance level of 0.004. Work motivation also has a positive and significant effect on audit quality, with a t-value of 2.910 and a significance level of 0.005. In contrast, independence does not have a significant effect on audit quality, as reflected by a t-value of 1.184 and a significance level of 0.242. Among the examined variables, professionalism has the strongest influence on audit quality, followed by work motivation and independence. These findings suggest that strengthening auditors’ professionalism and work motivation is essential for improving audit quality within the South Sulawesi Provincial Inspectorate.
Abstract:Maintaining employees’ Work-Life Balance (WLB) remains a major challenge for organizations operating under high operational demands. This study examines the effect of Individualized Consideration on Work-Life Balance through…
hrough Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), with Work Overload as a moderating variable. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a census survey involving 149 operational employees at PT PLN (Persero) UPT Cikupa, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that Individualized Consideration has a positive and significant effect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior but does not have a significant direct effect on Work-Life Balance. Organizational Citizenship Behavior, in turn, has a positive and significant effect on Work-Life Balance and fully mediates the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. Meanwhile, Work Overload does not significantly moderate the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. These findings demonstrate that individualized leadership contributes to employees’ Work-Life Balance primarily through the development of Organizational Citizenship Behavior rather than through a direct mechanism, particularly in a high-demand operational environment. Practically, the study suggests that organizations should strengthen Organizational Citizenship Behavior by fostering collaboration, voluntary support, and constructive interpersonal behavior among employees, rather than relying solely on individualized leadership practices to improve Work-Life Balance.
