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.
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.
Abstract:Companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index 70 (JII70) provide a unique research context because they operate within an Islamic capital market framework that applies sharia screening criteria and financial requirements.…
. Despite being guided by the same sharia principles and regulatory environment, JII70 companies still show variations in financial performance. Although previous research has examined the factors that affect financial performance, empirical evidence regarding the influence of efficiency, market ratios, liquidity, and leverage still shows inconsistent results, particularly in companies that comply with sharia principles. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of efficiency, market ratio, liquidity, and leverage on the financial performance of companies listed on JII70 by using Return on Assets (ROA) as a performance indicator. This study uses a quantitative approach by utilizing secondary data obtained from the annual reports of 57 non-financial companies during the period 2021–2025, resulting in 285 company-year observations. Panel data regression analysis was performed using the Fixed Effects model with Driscoll–Kraay error standard to overcome the problems of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. The results show that efficiency measured by Total Asset Turnover (TATO) and market ratio measured by Price-to-Book Value (PBV) have a positive and significant effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, liquidity measured by Current Ratio (CR) and leverage measured by Debt-to-Asset Ratio (DAR) have a positive but not statistically significant effect on financial performance. The findings of this study support the Signaling Theory by showing that efficiency and market ratio provide stronger signals regarding company quality and financial performance in the context of the Islamic capital market in Indonesia. These findings provide practical implications for managers in improving company performance as well as for investors in making more informed investment decisions
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the influence of work skills, work discipline, and work motivation on employee performance with a reward scheme as a moderation variable in BU17 employees of PT. Tjiwi Chemical Paper Factory, Tbk.…
bk. The research uses an explanatory quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The research population amounted to 379 employees with a sample of 192 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire based on the Likert scale and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The results of the study show that work skills, work discipline, and work motivation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, reward schemes have been shown to be able to moderate the relationship between job skills, work discipline, and work motivation to employee performance significantly. These findings suggest that rewards not only serve as a form of organizational reward, but also as a work behavior reinforcer that is able to increase the effectiveness of individual contributions to performance achievement. This research provides theoretical implications in the development of the human resource management literature based on reinforcement theory and human capital theory, as well as practical implications for companies in designing a fair, transparent, and performance-based reward system to increase organizational productivity and effectiveness.
Abstract:The discussion about the need for Muslim communities in Muslim countries or those with Muslim majority populations to have an integrated instrument in the fiscal policy has recently been increasingly prominent. At least…
driven by two factors, internal and external. The internal factor is the fiscal policy in the form of taxes that have been implemented by the state by adopting a conventional economic system that has not created what is called social welfare in many Muslim countries. Second, along with de-globalization that has hit the world recently, especially as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has reduced dependence between countries, countries have to rethink to get away from dependence on the global economic system, including how to think about policies. fiscal and monetary in accordance with each country and can survive and be useful for dealing with a similar pandemic. One of the Islamic economic instruments that has surfaced in the discussion of the fiscal system is Zakat. Zakat in many studies indicates that it can be an alternative substitute for the tax position in the state fiscal system. The purpose of this paper is to find answers to whether Zakat is able to replace the tax position in the state fiscal policy system. What is its position in economic theory and Islamic law, and how to formulate zakat as a fiscal policy instrument? This paper also includes a discussion of potential conflicts that arise when zakat is applied to replace taxes.
Abstract:Abrogation (abrogation) holds a central, vexed position in Islamic legal-theological hermeneutics. Classical uṣūl al-fiqh elaborated a technical theory of abrogation that attempted to mediate the diachronic process of revelation…
revelation and the demands of fixity of legal judgment (ḥukm). Tradition receipts that later scripture abrogates earlier scripture wherever actual, unavoidable contradiction is found, classically expressed as "al-nāsikh wa-l-mansūkh.". Pre-modern thinkers classified modes and cases of abrogation, inferred them from revelational phases, and counted suspected cases throughout the Qur'an and Sunna. Modern scholarship avoids both epistemic pretensions and hyperbolic earlier assertions of abrogation. The article tracks early meanings, introduces intratraditional caution that moderated abrogation, and evaluates recent re-analyses based on coherence theory, maqāṣid (purposes), historicization in context, and ethics. It argues that abrogation was included in pre-modern dogmatics as a component of a package of other hermeneutical strategies (specification, restriction, prioritization, suspension) and that available resources allow for a less ambitious, economy-of-means approach. A renovated dogma leaner, evidence-based, and syncretized with maqāṣid and semantics can ensure the normativity of revelation and make the law more attentive to modern moral concerns, such as gender justice, religious pluralism, and violence. The paper reaches its climax with the proposal of a "manifest conflict resolution" regime. where abrogation is held in reserve as a last resort and not the initial starting point and has ramification for legal rulings (fatwā), legal codification and education more widely.

Abstract:This study aims to analyze stock market reactions to Cum-Ex Dividend announcements for companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2024. Market reactions were measured through abnormal returns and stock trading…
ding volume before and after Cum-Ex Dividend announcements. This study was motivated by differences in investor behavior in responding to dividend distribution information, which is regarded as a positive signal for the market. The research employed a comparative quantitative method with an event study approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Secondary data were obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange, comprising a sample of 88 issuers that distributed cash dividends. Research variables consisted of stock prices and stock trading volume. Data analysis was performed using dummy regression and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with EViews 12 software. The results showed that the majority of issuers (81.82%) experienced significant market reactions to the Cum-Ex Dividend announcement. A total of 56.82% of issuers showed significant negative reactions consistent with the dividend drop theory, while 25% showed significant positive reactions, indicating that investors viewed dividends as a positive signal for company prospects. Meanwhile, 18.18% of issuers showed no significant reaction to dividend announcements. This study demonstrates that Cum-Ex Dividend announcements affect abnormal returns and stock trading volume, thus providing a basis for investor consideration in making investment decisions in the capital market.
Abstract:Pasar modal merupakan industri berbasis kepercayaan (trust-based industry) yang idealnya mengedepankan prinsip transparansi dan keadilan publik. Namun, realitas di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) di awal tahun 2026 diwarnai oleh…
leh sanksi berat Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) terhadap emiten PT Multi Makmur Lemindo Tbk (PIPA) dan PT Repower Asia Indonesia Tbk (REAL) akibat kesalahan material laporan keuangan dan transaksi abnormal. Berbeda dengan riset terdahulu yang mengkaji kecurangan pasar secara parsial, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan praktik manajemen laba (earnings management), transaksi orang dalam (insider trading), dan manipulasi pasar (saham gorengan) sebagai satu kesatuan mata rantai kejahatan kerah putih (white-collar crime), sekaligus membedahnya melalui tinjauan etika bisnis normatif. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-analitis, penelitian ini menerapkan teknik analisis konten (content analysis) dan studi literatur komparatif terhadap data sekunder rilis resmi regulator serta laporan keuangan emiten. Pisau analisis yang digunakan mencakup Fraud Diamond Theory, Teori Keagenan (Agency Theory), Asimetri Informasi, serta Paradigma Integritas Manusia Utuh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya sinkronisasi kecurangan yang terstruktur dari hulu ke hilir. Tahap hulu (the setup) diawali dengan rekayasa akuntansi melalui penyalahgunaan kapabilitas manajemen. Ketimpangan informasi di hulu kemudian dimanfaatkan di tengah jalan (the leak) untuk membocorkan informasi material kepada jaringan afiliasi, yang bermuara pada transaksi semu di hilir (the execution) guna menjebak psikologi investor ritel demi keuntungan egoistik sepihak. Dari tinjauan etika utilitarianisme dan deontologi Immanuel Kant, mata rantai kejahatan finansial ini dinilai cacat moral secara mutlak karena mencederai kewajiban moral kejujuran (duty of honesty) dan mengeksploitasi investor publik semata-mata sebagai alat komersial (means to an end). Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya penguatan sistem deteksi dini terintegrasi oleh regulator untuk memutus rantai kecurangan finansial di bursa nasional, Indonesia terutama ketika penerapannya masih bersifat formalitas dan belum didukung oleh budaya organisasi yang berintegritas. Perbedaan hasil juga dipengaruhi oleh sektor industri dan tingkat kematangan tata kelola masing-masing organisasi. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada perbandingan lintas sektor dan metode yang memperlihatkan bahwa efektivitas GCG dan audit internal sangat bergantung pada komitmen nyata dari manajemen serta internalisasi nilai-nilai etis dalam organisasi. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya, disarankan agar mengkaji variabel moderasi seperti budaya organisasi dan komitmen manajemen, serta memperluas cakupan sektor penelitian agar hasilnya lebih representatif.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of perceived accessibility, merchant sales promotion, and pain of paying on impulsive buying among Generation Z QRIS users in Manado City, both partially and simultaneously. This research…
earch is motivated by the rapid growth of QRIS usage in Indonesia, which reached a transaction value of IDR 317 trillion with more than 57 million active users in the second quarter of 2025, alongside the increasing phenomenon of unplanned purchasing behavior among Generation Z as the primary users of this digital payment technology. This study employs a quantitative approach with a causal design (explanatory research). The theoretical foundations used are the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) Theory and Mental Accounting Theory. The study population consists of Generation Z QRIS users in Manado City, with a sample of 100 respondents determined using the Lemeshow formula and purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire measured using a Likert Scale. The analysis technique employed is multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS 27 software, encompassing validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, F-test, t-test, and coefficient of determination (R²) test. The results indicate that: (1) Perceived accessibility has a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying (t = 2.176; Sig. = 0.032); (2) Merchant sales promotion has a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying (t = 2.279; Sig. = 0.025); (3) Pain of paying has a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying and is the most dominant variable (t = 3.150; Sig. = 0.002; β = 0.314); (4) Simultaneously, all three variables have a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying (F = 9.972; Sig. < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.238 indicates that the three independent variables explain 23.8% of the variation in impulsive buying, while the remaining 76.2% is influenced by other factors outside this research model.
Abstract:This article examines the role of Muslim women in the public sphere using a systematic literature review approach. By integrating indexed scientific sources, gender theory, and Islamic studies, this research aims to outline…
ine the evolution of women’s roles from historical to contemporary perspectives. Historical approaches and methodological frameworks are employed to structure arguments systematically, covering the basic Islamic concept of women’s roles, the methodology applied in the literature review, analysis of social dynamics and relevant case studies, and critical discussion of challenges and opportunities faced by women in the public sphere. This study also identifies internal and external factors that influence women’s roles, ranging from geographical context to public policy developments. The findings show that interpretations of the concept of equality in Islam have shifted over time and are shaped by socio-political dynamics. This research is expected to stimulate further academic debate on women’s roles in the public sphere and contribute to more inclusive policies. This article explores various historical and contemporary dimensions that shape the role of Muslim women in the public sphere, highlighting both the potential and challenges in translating Islamic values of equality into policy and social practice. It is hoped that this study will enrich academic discourse on the relationship between religion, gender, and modernity, and pave the way for policy initiatives that support women’s empowerment in the Islamic world.
