Abstract

The development of digital technology and social media has influenced the literacy patterns of Generation Z, which tend to reduce in-depth reading habits and critical thinking skills. This condition has resulted in a low social awareness among the younger generation in responding to increasingly complex social issues. One potential critical literacy strategy to address this problem is writing book reviews, as it can train analytical skills, reflection, and the systematic delivery of ideas. However, the skill of writing engaging and informative reviews remains a challenge due to a lack of mentoring and the perception that book reviews are academic and lack context. This community service activity aims to provide training and practical guidance to Generation Z in writing critical book reviews relevant to social issues. The methods used included material delivery, interactive discussions, and review writing practice. The results of the activity demonstrated an increased understanding of the structure, techniques, and function of book reviews as a medium for social reflection. This activity is expected to foster a culture of critical literacy and strengthen Generation Z's social awareness through educational, communicative, and responsible writing.

Abstract

The problem of drug abuse not only impacts legal and health aspects but also causes moral and spiritual degradation. Drug inmates generally face problems of weak self-control, low religious awareness, and a value crisis that impacts daily behavior. Therefore, correctional guidance needs to be complemented by an approach focused on strengthening morals and spirituality. This community service activity was carried out at the Class II B Rumbai Narcotics Correctional Institution in Pekanbaru with the aim of internalizing Islamic moral values ​​in the inmate development process. The objective of this activity was to instill Islamic moral values, such as honesty, responsibility, patience, discipline, self-control, and repentance, in order to shape the inmates' moral and spiritual awareness. Through internalization of these values, it is hoped that positive changes in attitudes and behavior will be sustained throughout the rehabilitation period and upon their return to society. The implementation methods included religious lectures, interactive discussions, self-reflection (muhasabah), habituation of worship, and moral-spiritual mentoring. A participatory approach was used to ensure that the rehabilitation process was not one-way but rather fostered inmates' internal awareness. Targeted outcomes include increased understanding and practice of Islamic moral values, the development of Islamic moral development modules, and the establishment of ongoing collaboration between universities and correctional institutions to support the rehabilitation and social reintegration of inmates.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the problems of Musharakah account management in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector, with a primary focus on constraints regarding customer financial report transparency. As a profit and loss sharing financing instrument, Musharakah relies heavily on the accuracy of real profit reporting, yet its implementation is often hindered by information asymmetry. The research method employed is library research with a qualitative approach, synthesizing data from scientific literature and official financial authority reports within the last ten years. The results indicate that transparency issues are rooted in the low accounting literacy of MSME actors, leading to the inconsistent application of the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). This condition triggers moral hazard risks in the form of inaccurate profit reporting, which impacts high monitoring costs and Non-Performing Financing (NPF) risks for Islamic banking. Logical interpretation of the findings suggests that digital transformation through cloud-based accounting systems is a strategic solution to create real-time cash flow monitoring. The study concludes that standardizing financial reporting and integrating information technology are absolute prerequisites for building trust in Musharakah partnerships and enhancing MSME accountability within the Islamic financial ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of microfinance in improving the resilience and performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) amidst uncertain economic dynamics. MSMEs contribute significantly to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment, but still face various obstacles, particularly in access to formal financing, limited capital, and low financial literacy. This study uses a library research method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through searching and analyzing various literature sources such as scientific journals, books, research reports, and official documents relevant to the topic of microfinance and MSME development. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to identify patterns of findings, research gaps, and conceptual synthesis related to the effectiveness of microfinance. The results of the study indicate that microfinance plays a significant role in improving capital access, productivity, and the sustainability of MSME businesses. In addition, support for the digitalization of financial services and innovation in financing models contribute to expanding financial inclusion. However, financing effectiveness is strongly influenced by factors such as financial literacy, managerial capacity, and adequate policy support. This study concludes that microfinance serves not only as a credit instrument but also as an economic empowerment strategy capable of sustainably strengthening the resilience of MSMEs.

Abstract

Property investment is one of the most popular long-term investment instruments due to its potential to generate stable income and achieve asset value appreciation over time. As a tangible asset, property is often perceived as relatively secure compared to financial assets; however, it is not free from risk. Property investment is exposed to various uncertainties, including market volatility, fluctuations in economic conditions, location-specific risks, regulatory changes, and relatively low liquidity compared to other investment instruments. These risk factors may negatively affect investment performance if not properly managed. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of property investment risk is essential to support informed investment decision-making. One effective approach to managing investment risk is portfolio diversification, which involves allocating funds across different asset classes to reduce dependence on a single source of return. Diversification aims to minimize unsystematic risk while optimizing the overall risk–return trade-off of the portfolio. Integrating property assets into a diversified investment portfolio can provide benefits such as income stability, inflation hedging, and risk reduction due to low correlation with certain financial assets. This study emphasizes the importance of analyzing the effectiveness of risk diversification in investment portfolios that include property assets.
