<![CDATA[Islamic education plays an important role in building social ethics among students, especially through applying humanitarian values in the teaching and learning process. Schools as formal educational institutions are strategic places to instill empathy, tolerance, and social responsibility among students. However, challenges such as limited resources, lack of community support, and the influence of digital media can hinder the application of these values. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of schools in promoting humanitarian values through Islamic education. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collection from previous studies and observations of interactions in the school environment. The results of the study indicate that the integration of humanitarian values in the Islamic education curriculum can have a positive impact on student character. Despite various challenges, the role of teachers as role models is very important in transferring social and ethical values. With good support from the community and the surrounding environment, the application of humanitarian values in schools can be optimized, producing students who are more sensitive and responsible to society. This study provides insight into the strategies needed to improve the effectiveness of humanitarian values education in the context of Islamic education.]]>

<![CDATA[The study on Designs for handling the problem of Community-Based Vulnerable Groups is a study with the aim of developing previous designs which were only limited to handling children’s problems. The initial design for handling community-based children’s problems involved a community work team consisting of 10 community leaders from Cipeteuy Village Sukabumi Regency. The development of social problems and the need for handling them means that services provided are not only sufficient for choldren, but also for other vulnerable groups. This research is aimed at developing a design for handling problems of community-based vulnerable groups. In its implementation, this research used a qualitative approach with the Participatory Action Research method. This Method provides space for the community, facilitated by researchers, to develop ideas for handling the problems of vulnerable groups according to the strengths they have. The data collection techniques used were indepth interviewews, participant observation, documentation studies, and focus group discussions. The research results show community involvement in developing design for handling the problems of vulnerable groups by utilizing the strengths they have, as well as developing networks outside the community to make it easier to handle the problems of vulnareble groups consisting of neglected children, people with disabilities, neglected elderly, and other poor families who do not receive access to various service sources. The recommendation of this research is a design for community-based handling of vulnerable groups.]]>

<![CDATA[The implementation of music copyright protection policies has experienced significant shifts during the digital transformation. Digitalization impacts the economy, society, and government services, creating gaps that can render policies irrelevant. In the music industry, the proliferation of pirated content harms not only creators but also the country's creative sector. This research aims to address copyright protection for songwriters amid digitalization and the challenges in enforcing copyright law. Using qualitative descriptive methods, the study hypothesizes that certain underlying factors contribute to the failure of copyright enforcement. Results, analyzed through Van Meter and Van Horn's theory, reveal weaknesses in ambiguous policy standards, inadequate examination by policymakers, non-compliance with SOPs by implementing organizations, and a lack of synchronization among stakeholders, leading to ineffective enforcement and weak government protection for copyright holders. Therefore, it is essential to conduct factual studies to reassess standards, involved organizations, and active stakeholders in policy implementation. Expanding regional and national initiatives through workshops to raise public awareness about copyright is crucial, alongside comprehensive socialization efforts targeting policymakers, musicians, and consumers.]]>

<![CDATA[The community empowerment approach in development positions people centrally as both actors and beneficiaries, requiring active involvement in identifying needs, formulating strategies, and implementing solutions tailored to local conditions. By placing the community as the main actor, this approach aims to create a sustainable development process where individuals gain not only the results but also an understanding of the process itself, fostering long-term capacity for addressing challenges. Efforts to empower communities also focus on enhancing human resource quality and promoting behavioral changes across various dimensions, such as economic, social, and environmental aspects. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of community empowerment as a strategy to achieve a more independent and sustainable quality of life. This study employs a qualitative approach to deeply explore community empowerment strategies as a critical component of sustainable development. This research then found that community empowerment should focus on building an economic base rooted in reliable local needs and resources, not just on increasing income. Successful empowerment is evident through creating strategic organizations and networks that enhance access to market information and technology. Furthermore, strengthening technical and managerial skills within the community, as well as the competencies of facilitators is essential to achieving sustainable independence and prosperity.]]>

<![CDATA[In the city of Salatiga, there are five nursing homes: Merbabu Nursing Home, Salib Putih Nursing Home, Menara Berkat Senior Residence, Maria Martha Senior Residence, and Menara Kasih. Each nursing home has a leader and staff who serve in their respective facilities. Most caregivers in these five nursing homes are women, with 59 female caregivers and only 32 male caregivers. The caregivers have the primary responsibility of serving the elderly residents in nursing homes. Some of these elderly residents are bedridden and require care in their beds, while others are blind, unable to walk, deaf, and so on. Given the nature of the caregivers' duties, it is essential to conduct research on the sense of calling among caregivers in nursing homes. Using a descriptive constructive method, the research aims to uncover facts that can build the concept of mindfulness in elderly care services at the nursing homes in Salatiga. The research findings reveal that the concept of mindfulness is shaped by the presence of meaning and values in the sense of calling, morality, responsibility, sincerity, and spirituality. The meaning and values within this calling include the opportunity to serve others, especially the elderly; the moral drive to joyfully serve the elderly; the responsibility toward others and the families of the elderly; sincerity in providing wholehearted care for the elderly; and spirituality, which sees serving the elderly as an act of faith in God.]]>

<![CDATA[The literary work of Albanian playwright Etëhem Haxhiademi had been banned for over four decades due to vindictive political principles. He was one of the most notable creators of Albanian tragedy, revealing Albanian literature in the modern era. In 1924, he wrote the tragedy "Ulysses" in Berlin, in 1926 he wrote the tragedy "Achilles" in Vienna, and in 1928 he wrote the tragedy "Alexander" in Lushnje, Albania. All three tragedies were published in Tirana, Albania, in 1931. Later, he wrote and published the tragedies "Pyrrhus" (1934), "Scanderbeg" "Skënderbeu" (1935), "Diomedes" (1936), and "Abeles" (1938). He was also known as the creator of the poetic volume "Lyra", (1939). His dramatic work was set up according to models of classical tragedy, using ancient or medieval subjects, even dating back to pre-biblical history. His literary work becomes functional to revelations that can be compared to phenomena, ideas and problems staging the reality of the time in which he wrote his works. By striving to clarify the notions of classicism in this writing, we have directly contributed to the estimation of the literary work of E. Haxhiademi which, in our opinion, presents excessive concomitances in the ideas, aesthetic ideals and design practices of neoclassical experiments. in Europe.]]>
