ISLAM AND THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE

Zuliarti, Naning, Haq, M. Ziyadul, Syukron, Ahmad
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.

Beyond Cost Control: How AI-Powered Spend Orchestration Unlocks 7.3% Growth Premiums in 2025

Dzreke, Simon Suwanzy
Abstract: In an uncertain economic climate, a large global retailer used AI-powered spend intelligence to move $220 million from indirect operational costs toward high-impact R&D. In a difficult recession, this decisive step boosted… ed revenue by 11%, demonstrating the transformative impact of effective capital management. This achievement contrasts with "spend blindness," where industry studies show most financial leaders struggle to link expenditure patterns to strategic growth outcomes and resort to reactive cost-cutting. This study addresses this crucial gap. A thorough mixed-methods approach including a global survey of 400 CFOs, longitudinal case studies of ten multinational organizations, and advanced predictive modeling substantiated a new paradigm. Research shows that companies that understand AI-driven spend orchestration develop 7.3% faster than competitors. This premium comes from a 37% improvement in the Growth Efficiency Ratio (GER), a critical statistic for translating savings into innovation, and 5.8 times more strategic investment opportunities than standard financial approaches allow. The Spend Intelligence Quotient (SIQ), a groundbreaking statistic that assesses financial agility through integrated spend monitoring, predictive analytics, and rapid capital reallocation, is key to this advantage. This paper introduces the empirically based Spend Orchestration Framework and the requirements for the 2025 AI Finance Stack to obtain SIQ >80, the empirically proven threshold for sustainable competitive advantage. The message is clear: finance chiefs must go beyond oversight. Today's CFO may use predictive contracting and algorithmic governance to turn spend data into strategic leverage, ensure resilience, and capture disproportionate value in.

PERKEMBANGAN ILMU DI DUNIA ISLAM KLASIK (ABBASIYAH)

Putri Rahma Dani, Amril Mansur
Abstract: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study aims to describe the development of science in the Classical Islamic world during the Abbasid Dynasty (750–1258 AD). Literature studies, interviews with Islamic historians,… orians, and observations at historical sites are the methods used. The results of the study show that science made rapid progress during the Abbasid era, especially in mathematics, medicine, astronomy, and chemistry. Translating and disseminating information from Greek, Persian, and Indian civilizations was greatly assisted by centers of knowledge such as Bayt al-Hikma (House of Wisdom) in Baghdad. Famous scientists such as Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Razi made major contributions through their highly influential works, which were then widely disseminated in the West. In addition, this study found that the socio-political conditions and support from the Abbasid caliphs.

The Subtextual Significances of Pragmatic Equivalence in Translating Humor

Ni Nyoman Sarmi, Rommel Utungga Pasopati, Dyah Ayu Ratna Jelita, Yoshua Veron Handika Putra Siadari, Agischa Putri Agil, Muhammad Daffa Firzatullah
Abstract: This article examines the importance of pragmatic equivalence in translating humor, a crucial yet often challenging aspect due to humor’s deep reliance on cultural context, implicature, and audience interpretation. Pragmatic… gmatic equivalence emphasizes the conveyance of implicit meaning through communication principles such as those proposed by Grice, where coherence takes precedence over mere lexical and grammatical cohesion. In humor translation, coherence refers to the interconnectedness of meaning based on shared context and knowledge between the author and the audience, rather than simply the structure of sentences. However, humor is inherently ambiguous and open to multiple interpretations, making its meaning not always directly transferable. A single mistranslated element can alter the entire comedic effect, as humor is often highly culture-specific. In this case, the translator’s role extends beyond language transfer to bridging the knowledge gap that the target audience might have, sometimes at the cost of the humor’s spontaneity. This challenge creates a dilemma between preserving natural comedic effect and delivering accurate meaning. As a result, humor translation often leans toward either overly literal or overly liberal approaches, each with the risk of losing essential nuance. Therefore, pragmatic equivalence involves more than just finding corresponding meanings; it also requires sensitivity to the social and cultural contexts that shape audience responses. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the unique complexity of humor translation, making it a valuable contribution to the fields of literary studies, linguistics, and translation studies.

THE BEST PRESCHOOL RECOMMENDATION APPLICATION USING THE ELECTRE METHOD

Siregar, Iqbal Kamil, Handoko, Wiwin
Abstract: Abstract: This research aims to build a recommendation system that can help parents determine the best Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) using the ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Translating Reality) method. The electre method… ethod was chosen because of its ability to handle Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems, which allows evaluating alternatives based on various relevant criteria. This system is designed to identify and assess PAUD based on a number of important criteria, such as facilities, location, teacher-student ratio, curriculum, accreditation and reputation. Each criterion is given a weight according to its level of importance, which is determined based on parental preferences and applicable educational standards. Data is collected from various sources and processed using artificial intelligence techniques to ensure accuracy and relevance. The electre method is then used to evaluate and compare between PAUD. The research results show that the recommendation system developed is able to provide accurate and relevant PAUD recommendations, as well as increasing user satisfaction in the PAUD selection process. This research makes a significant contribution to the field of decision support systems and education, by showing the practical application of the electre method in determining the best PAUD. It is hoped that the results of this research can inspire the development of similar recommendation systems in other educational fields, as well as help in improving the quality of early childhood education through the use of advanced technology.
