must provide complete electronic goods so that there are various choices for customers, but with the many provisions of goods provided, the process of managing goods data becomes more complex because currently the entire data management process, including electronic data, financial data, sales data, and customer service history data at Global Teknik still uses notebooks. The use of notebooks as a method of data management in stores has several limitations. First, notebooks tend to be susceptible to human error. Manual data entry increases the risk of writing errors, inaccurate recording, or even loss of important information. These errors can cause inaccuracies in inventory management, service, or cost calculations, which in turn can harm the store and customers. Seeing the current situation of the Global Teknik Store which has not implemented information technology to help performance become more effective and efficient, the solution to this study is to build an online store management information system at the Global Teknik Store based on the web using the Agile Development method. With the Smartphone Sales Information System, it is hoped that there will be no difficulties in promoting, informing, updating the latest news and serving customers and can help customers in carrying out the ordering process quickly and making it easier for users to get more complete information.
Abstract:Indonesia memiliki potensi energi panas bumi yang sangat besar karena berada pada jalur Cincin Api Pasifik (Ring of Fire). Salah satu daerah yang memiliki potensi tersebut adalah Desa Tawa, Kecamatan Bacan Timur Tengah,…
Kabupaten Halmahera Selatan. Namun, hasil observasi awal menunjukkan bahwa peserta didik di SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa masih memiliki pemahaman yang terbatas mengenai potensi dan pemanfaatan energi panas bumi sebagai sumber energi terbarukan. Selama ini, pembelajaran di sekolah lebih banyak berfokus pada konsep-konsep umum sehingga belum memanfaatkan potensi lokal sebagai sumber belajar yang kontekstual. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan peserta didik belum mampu menghubungkan materi yang dipelajari dengan potensi sumber daya alam yang ada di lingkungan sekitar. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi energi panas bumi, menumbuhkan kepedulian terhadap lingkungan, serta memperkuat pemahaman peserta didik tentang pentingnya energi terbarukan dalam mendukung pembangunan berkelanjutan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 23 Maret 2026 di SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa dengan melibatkan 32 peserta yang terdiri atas 26 siswa dan 6 guru. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif-edukatif melalui tahapan persiapan, penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif, tanya jawab, observasi, dan evaluasi menggunakan angket. Materi yang diberikan mencakup konsep dasar energi panas bumi, potensi panas bumi di Indonesia dan Desa Tawa, manfaat energi panas bumi sebagai energi terbarukan, serta kontribusinya terhadap pelestarian lingkungan dan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan pemahaman peserta didik mengenai potensi energi panas bumi di daerahnya. Peningkatan tersebut terlihat dari partisipasi peserta yang lebih aktif selama diskusi, kemampuan mengaitkan konsep energi terbarukan dengan kondisi lingkungan sekitar, serta tumbuhnya kesadaran untuk menjaga dan memanfaatkan sumber daya alam secara bertanggung jawab. Selain itu, kegiatan ini turut memperkuat pembelajaran kontekstual melalui kolaborasi antara perguruan tinggi dan sekolah dalam mengembangkan pendidikan berbasis potensi lokal. Dengan demikian, sosialisasi energi panas bumi berbasis potensi lokal menjadi salah satu strategi yang efektif untuk meningkatkan literasi energi, memperkuat kepedulian terhadap lingkungan, dan mendukung terwujudnya pembangunan berkelanjutan di kalangan generasi muda.
Indonesia has enormous geothermal energy potential due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. One of the regions with this potential is Tawa Village, East Central Bacan District, South Halmahera Regency. However, preliminary observations revealed that students at SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa had limited understanding of the potential and utilization of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source. Learning activities at the school have primarily focused on general theoretical concepts and have not optimally integrated local potential as a contextual learning resource. Consequently, students have not been able to relate the knowledge acquired in the classroom to the natural resources available in their surrounding environment. This Community Service Program aimed to enhance students' geothermal energy literacy, foster environmental awareness, and strengthen their understanding of the importance of renewable energy in supporting sustainable development. The program was conducted on March 23, 2026, at SMA Nurul Hasan Bacan Tawa and involved 32 participants, consisting of 26 students and 6 teachers. The program employed a participatory-educational approach through preparation, material presentation, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, observations, and questionnaire-based evaluations. The learning materials covered the basic concepts of geothermal energy, geothermal potential in Indonesia and Tawa Village, the benefits of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source, and its contribution to environmental conservation and sustainable development. The results demonstrated an improvement in students' knowledge and understanding of the geothermal energy potential in their region. This improvement was reflected in more active participation during discussions, a greater ability to relate renewable energy concepts to their local environment, and increased awareness of the importance of protecting and utilizing natural resources responsibly. Furthermore, the program strengthened contextual learning through collaboration between the university and the school in developing education based on local potential. Therefore, local potential-based geothermal energy outreach can serve as an effective strategy for improving energy literacy, promoting environmental awareness, and supporting sustainable development among young generations.

n alternative paradigm that integrates ethical principles, social justice, and welfare-oriented financial mechanisms to address these disparities. This study aims to systematically analyze the role of Islamic economic instruments in promoting social justice and reducing inequality. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA framework, reviewing 21 selected studies published between 2016 and 2025 from international and national academic databases. The analysis focuses on key instruments, including zakat, waqf, Islamic microfinance, and macro-level financial inclusion. The results indicate that zakat and waqf significantly contribute to poverty alleviation and sustainable development, while Islamic microfinance empowers economically marginalized communities by enhancing financial access and independence. Macro-level Islamic finance further supports inclusive economic growth and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The discussion highlights both the effectiveness and challenges of these instruments, emphasizing the need for robust governance, regulatory support, and financial literacy programs. In conclusion, Islamic economics provides a holistic and ethical approach to address global inequality, offering policymakers and practitioners practical strategies for achieving inclusive and sustainable economic development.

and cultural fragmentation, ethical journalism becomes crucial in constructing inclusive narratives and supporting peaceful cross-border relations. The objective of this research is to identify how Islamic values particularly the principle of rahmatan lil-‘alamin (mercy to all creation) inform journalistic practices that contribute to intercultural understanding and regional diplomacy. Using a qualitative, library-based approach, the study examines comparative media discourse from Indonesia and Singapore to highlight patterns of ethical communication that emphasize compassion, responsibility, and soft power engagement. The results reveal that Islamic journalistic communication offers a transformative model to counter stereotypes, foster mutual respect, and enhance transnational solidarity. This study contributes to the broader academic discourse on Islamic media ethics, intercultural dialogue, and religion-based peacebuilding by proposing a theoretical framework for ethical Islamic journalism applicable in other multicultural societies across Southeast Asia.

Abstract:The rapid integration of financial technology (FinTech), artificial intelligence (AI), and social media has transformed global investment behavior, reshaping the psychological dynamics of modern investors. This paper examines…
mines how digital technologies amplify behavioral biases such as overconfidence, herding, and recency bias within contemporary financial markets. Using a descriptive qualitative approach supported by literature synthesis and case studies, it explores the interplay between investor psychology and technological systems. Findings indicate that while FinTech platforms democratize access to financial markets, their gamified features and algorithmic personalization reinforce impulsive and emotionally driven trading. AI-based advisory systems, though designed to enhance decision accuracy, often introduce automation bias and confirmation loops that distort rational judgment. Social media ecosystems further accelerate herding and emotional contagion by promoting conformity through peer validation and viral sentiment. The study highlights ethical and regulatory challenges associated with behavioral exploitation and algorithmic transparency, emphasizing the need for robust investor protection frameworks and behavioral literacy programs. Ultimately, it concludes that technology in finance must balance innovation with responsibility, ensuring that digital tools empower investors without amplifying cognitive biases or undermining market integrity.
Abstract:This study investigates the revitalization and preservation of indigenous Ghanaian textiles in contemporary fashion design, emphasizing their cultural significance, economic potential, and modern challenges. Traditional…
textiles such as “kente”, “kete”, “adinkra”, and “fugu”/ “batakari” are central to Ghana’s cultural heritage, symbolizing identity and tradition. However, the industry faces hurdles including high production costs, competition from cheaper imports, and diminishing traditional knowledge among younger generations. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research utilized interviews, focus group discussions, and observations involving artisans, fashion designers, educators, and consumers. Findings reveal that despite the immense value of indigenous textiles, their integration into modern fashion is impeded by limited access to raw materials, fluctuating market demand, and inadequate artisan support. Innovative designers, however, are blending traditional textiles with contemporary trends, showcasing adaptability and global appeal. The study recommends strategies such as public education campaigns, financial and technical support for artisans, and stronger intellectual property protections. Promoting sustainable practices, addressing regional production disparities, and fostering designer-artisan collaborations are also key to the industry’s sustainability. This research underscores the role of Ghanaian textiles in economic empowerment and cultural preservation, advocating for a balanced approach that merges tradition with modern innovation to ensure global relevance and sustainability.
Abstract:This study investigates the influence of Financial Literacy on Consumptive Behavior among students, with PayLater Usage as an intervening variable and Self-Control as a moderating variable. The rapid adoption of digital…
credit services, such as PayLater, has reshaped consumption patterns, particularly among young users, by promoting convenience and flexible payment options. This research aims to understand how financial literacy and self-control interact to influence students’ consumption behavior through PayLater usage. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a sample of 100 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Teknologi Sumbawa, the study finds that Financial Literacy has a positive influence on both PayLater Usage and Consumptive Behavior. Interestingly, while financial literacy is generally expected to mitigate consumptive tendencies, it indirectly contributes to impulsive spending by encouraging the use of PayLater. PayLater Usage is identified as an intervening variable that strengthens the relationship between Financial Literacy and Consumptive Behavior, highlighting the role of convenience and perceived purchasing power in promoting consumption. Moreover, Self-Control negatively moderates the relationship between PayLater Usage and Consumptive Behavior, indicating that students with high self-control are less likely to exhibit impulsive spending despite using PayLater.

donesia’s Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost (3T) regions before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing a quantitative approach, this research analyzes panel data from 62 regencies categorized as 3T regions from 2017 to 2022. The study uses panel data regression analysis to evaluate the influence of these expenditures on economic outcomes. Findings indicate that government spending in the education sector consistently had a positive effect on economic growth before and after the pandemic. Conversely, expenditure in social protection and HDI shifted from having a positive to a negative impact post-pandemic. Meanwhile, investments in public services, infrastructure, and overall investment, which previously had a negative impact, showed a positive influence in the post-pandemic period. Overall, government spending across all sectors had a simultaneous and significant positive effect on economic growth in the 3T regions. These results underscore the need for evidence-based policy interventions to enhance the effectiveness of government spending in promoting equitable economic growth in underdeveloped areas.
