backbiting), polarization, and discrimination. These challenges call for an ethical framework that is not merely technical in nature but is also firmly grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to reconstruct a Qur’an-based digital communication ethics framework through a thematic analysis of Qur’anic interpretation of QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 and to examine its relevance to strengthening character education. This qualitative study employs a library research approach using thematic Qur’anic interpretation, content analysis, and contextual analysis of the Qur’an, classical and contemporary exegetical works, as well as scholarly literature on digital communication and character education. The findings reveal that QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 embody eight ethical principles that can be reconstructed within the context of digital communication: Dignity Protection, Respectful Communication, No Negative Labeling, Critical Verification, Privacy Protection, Responsible Speech, Inclusive Interaction, and Digital Equality. These eight principles are synthesized into the Qur’anic Digital Communication Ethics Framework (QDCEF), which comprises three overarching dimensions: Dignity, Responsibility, and Inclusion. The framework is further mapped onto the character values of respect, empathy, civility, tolerance, critical thinking, objectivity, trustworthiness, responsibility, integrity, justice, and self-control. These findings affirm that QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 are relevant not only as a source of moral and character education but also as a conceptual foundation for reconstructing a digital communication ethics framework that bridges Qur’anic values with the demands of character education in the digital era. The proposed QDCEF thus offers a value-based conceptual framework for fostering ethical, responsible, inclusive, and character-oriented digital communication.
Abstract:Level design is one of the key components in determining the gameplay experience in 2D platformer games. However, manual level design is time-consuming and difficult to scale. Graph theory can be used to represent the abstract…
stract structure of a level, with nodes as spatial units and edges as paths connecting those spaces. The problem is that this graph structure cannot always be directly translated into a valid and playable physical layout due to platformer constraints, such as jump height, safe distance, and gravity. This research proposes a chunk-based transformation approach, in which each graph node is represented as a fixed-size level chunk containing a platform layout, obstacles, and entry and exit points. The transformation of the graph into a physical level is carried out through the selection, arrangement, and alignment of chunks based on the graph’s topology. This study aims to design a framework for transforming an abstract graph G=(V,E) into a chunk-based 2D platformer level layout. The method used is qualitative-descriptive, involving the formulation of a graph model, rules for mapping and arranging chunks, and playability criteria. The results of the study reveal three main stages: mapping vertices to corresponding chunks, arranging chunks according to the graph’s structure, and validating reachability using an automatic path-finding agent.

umentation and interviews. The input variables used consist of the Age of the Perpetrator, Environment, Socializing, Gender, and Family, while the output variable is the Level of Drug Abuse with Low and High categories. The research stages include data collection, determining variables and fuzzy sets, fuzzification, forming if-then rules, inference using the minimum operator, composition using the maximum operator, and defuzzification using the centroid method. A total of 64 fuzzy rules are used to connect the combination of input variables with the output. Testing is done through manual calculations and implementation using MATLAB. The test results show that the output categories from manual calculations and MATLAB are the same in three test data, namely High, High, and Low. These results indicate that the Mamdani Fuzzy method can be used in modeling the level of drug abuse based on the variables used.

Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut, strategi promosi yang direkomendasikan meliputi optimalisasi promosi digital melalui media sosial, penguatan promosi berbasis budaya Toraja, peningkatan kerja sama dengan pemerintah dan pelaku industri pariwisata, penyelenggaraan kegiatan promosi secara berkala, serta peningkatan kualitas pelayanan dan kenyamanan kawasan. Penerapan strategi tersebut diharapkan mampu meningkatkan jumlah konsumen sekaligus memperkuat posisi Pasar Seni To'Pao sebagai destinasi wisata belanja berbasis budaya di Kabupaten Toraja Utara.
This study aims to identify the potential of To'Pao Art Market that can be utilized as a promotional attraction, analyze the obstacles encountered in implementing promotional activities, and formulate appropriate promotion strategies to increase the number of consumers at To'Pao Art Market in North Toraja Regency. Culture-based art markets have a strategic role in supporting the development of regional tourism and the creative economy, yet many face challenges in attracting consumers due to suboptimal promotion. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research informants consisted of four MSME actors and four visitors to To'Pao Art Market, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that To'Pao Art Market possesses considerable potential to support promotional activities, including the uniqueness of Torajan handicraft products, its strategic location on the main Rantepao-Makale route, a strong cultural identity, and the presence of local MSMEs producing high-quality products. However, promotional activities are constrained by several factors, including the limited utilization of digital media, inadequate dissemination of information to the public, the decreasing number of active kiosks, intense competition with other souvenir centers, and unstable visitor numbers. Based on these findings, the recommended promotion strategies include optimizing digital promotion through social media, strengthening culture-based promotional content highlighting Torajan heritage, enhancing collaboration with the government and tourism stakeholders, organizing promotional and cultural events on a regular basis, and improving service quality and visitor convenience. The implementation of these strategies is expected to increase the number of consumers while strengthening the position of To'Pao Art Market as a cultural shopping destination in North Toraja Regency.

Faktor budaya dan psikologis merupakan faktor yang paling dominan karena wisatawan memandang cinderamata sebagai representasi budaya Toraja yang autentik dan memiliki makna simbolik. Proses keputusan pembelian berlangsung melalui lima tahapan: pengenalan kebutuhan, pencarian informasi, evaluasi alternatif, keputusan pembelian, dan perilaku pasca pembelian. Wisatawan melakukan pertimbangan terhadap harga, kualitas, keunikan, dan nilai budaya produk sebelum memutuskan membeli. Pengalaman wisata yang positif memberikan pengaruh terhadap kepuasan wisatawan dan mendorong niat membeli ulang serta rekomendasi kepada orang lain. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keputusan pembelian cinderamata di kawasan Wisata Ke'te Kesu' tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan fungsional, tetapi juga oleh nilai budaya, pengalaman emosional, dan persepsi wisatawan terhadap keaslian produk budaya Toraja.
Abstract is a brief summary of the paper to help readers quickly determine the main research problem, solutions to solving This study aims to analyze consumer behavior in purchasing decisions of souvenirs at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area in North Toraja Regency. The cultural tourism industry has transformed into an experience-based industry that prioritizes emotional, symbolic, and cultural values. In this context, souvenir purchases serve not only as consumer goods but also as symbols of memories, cultural identity, and representations of tourist experiences. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving five tourists as key informants and five MSME actors as supporting informants. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that souvenir purchasing decisions at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area are influenced by four main factors: cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors. Cultural and psychological factors are the most dominant because tourists perceive souvenirs as authentic representations of Toraja culture with symbolic meaning. The purchase decision process occurs through five stages: need recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior. Tourists consider price, quality, uniqueness, and cultural value before deciding to purchase a product. Positive tourism experiences influence tourist satisfaction and encourage repeat purchase intentions and recommendations to others. This study concludes that souvenir purchasing decisions at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area are not only influenced by functional needs but also by cultural values, emotional experiences, and tourists' perceptions of the authenticity of Toraja cultural products.

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…
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.

The variables employed in this study are deferred tax and tax planning as independent variables, and earnings management as the dependent variable. Panel data regression analysis was utilized to assess the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable, both simultaneously and individually. The study population consisted of 83 companies, with a sample of 32 companies selected via purposive sampling, resulting in 160 observations. Data processing was conducted using EViews version 12 software, and the Common Effect Model (CEM) was selected as the model. Hypothesis testing using the model feasibility test (F-test) indicated that the model is suitable for measuring the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The research results show that: (1) deferred tax and tax planning simultaneously have a significant effect on earnings management; (2) deferred tax does not have a significant partial effect on earnings management, indicating that deferred tax does not directly drive earnings management; and (3) tax planning has a positive and significant partial effect on earnings management.
