Forecasting the unemployment rate in West Java Province using VARX and SVR methods
Get PDFThis study discusses the forecasting of the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) in West Java Province using two time series approaches: Vector Autoregressive with Exogenous variables (VARX) and Support Vector Regression (SVR). The dataset consists of monthly observations from 2018 to 2023, including variables such as OUR, the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), and the Human Development Index (HDI). Based on the optimal lag selection using the AIC, the VARX model produced the best lag configuration of (5,2), consisting of five lags for endogenous variables and two for exogenous variables. Meanwhile, the SVR model was developed through Grid Search to find the best parameter combination, resulting in a linear kernel with and . The evaluation results showed that the SVR model performed better than VARX, with MSE, RMSE, and MAPE values of 0.24, 0.49, and 6%, respectively, lower than those of the VARX model, which reached 0.68, 0.82, and 8.4%. SVR was selected as the best model and used to forecast the OUR until the end of 2025. The forecast results indicated a spike in OUR at the beginning of 2024 at 8.52%, followed by a declining trend that continues and stabilizes in the range of 7.96%-8.12% by the end of 2025. In conclusion, SVR outperforms VARX in predictive accuracy, while VARX remains useful for analyzing inter-variable relationships
Evaluating surface water and groundwater quality parameters in the Karst Mining Zone, Gunungkidul for environmental risk mitigation
Get PDFThis study aims to characterize the physical, chemical, and microbiological water parameters of the Oya River (Bleberan Playen) and groundwater in the CV Kusuma Arga monitoring well, located in the white stone mining zone, Ponjong District, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The importance of this research is driven by the lack of comprehensive water quality data in active karst mining areas and the potential environmental and health risks associated with contamination. Parameters tested included temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, pH, nitrite, ammonia, chloride, sulfate, detergents, dissolved iron, dissolved lead, dissolved copper, dissolved cadmium, dissolved manganese, dissolved nickel, total coliform, and fecal coliform. Testing methods referred to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and Standard Methods, including the use of atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) for heavy metal analysis and the membrane filter method for microbiology. The test results showed that most physical and chemical water parameters from both sources met the relevant quality standards. For example, the well water temperature of 27°C and well water pH of 6.9 were both declared to be by standards. However, analysis showed lead concentrations (0.1 mg/l in the river) and cadmium (0.010 mg/l in the river) exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for drinking water, although initially categorized as "appropriate". Furthermore, total coliform (3000-5000 MPN/100ml) and fecal coliform (4000-4500 MPN/100ml) concentrations in both samples were very high, clearly indicating a health-risking fecal contamination, despite also being declared "appropriate" in the report. The role of Environmental Engineering science is crucial in sample collection, laboratory analysis, and interpretation of this data. This study contributes to the understanding of water quality in areas affected by mining activities and emphasizes the need for further evaluation for sustainable environmental management
Taḥlīl Muḥtawá al-Kitāb al-Madrasī lil-Lughah al-ʿArabīyah li-Ṣaff al-Sābiʿ li-Ḥasan Sayf Allāh bi-Madkhal Mutaʿaddid al-Wasa’iṭ
Get PDFThis study analyzes the Arabic language textbook for seventh grade authored by Hasan Saefulloh through a multimodal approach. This study is grounded in the recognition that textbooks continue to serve as one of the principal media for language instruction, yet their visual and textual integration is often less than optimal. The study employs a qualitative content analysis method using systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and multimodal discourse analysis by Kress and van Leeuwen. Data were drawn from selected pages of the textbook that contain prominent multimodal elements, including vocabulary lists, dialogues, illustrations, and page layouts. The findings reveal three major points. First, the book presents basic Arabic learning materials but the integration between texts, images, and layouts is still weak. Second, the multimodal elements often work in isolation without forming a cohesive meaning. Third, the lack of balance between visual and verbal representations may limit students’ comprehension and engagement. This research concludes that the textbook needs improvement in its design and organization, particularly in aligning verbal and visual modes to support effective Arabic learning. This study contributes to the enhancement of multimodal awareness in Arabic textbook design, offering insights for teachers, authors, and curriculum developers to produce more pedagogically integrated materials

Persuasive Da'wah Approach from the Perspective of the Qur'an
Get PDFPersuasive da’wah is an approach that emphasizes gentleness, wisdom, and exemplary conduct in conveying Islamic teachings. This paper aims to explore the concept, foundation, and implementation of persuasive da’wah from the perspective of the Qur’an. This study employs a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach, which involves tracing, collecting, and analyzing primary sources in the form of verses from the Al-Qur’an and scholarly interpretations (tafsir), as well as secondary sources in the form of literature on the science of da'wah and Islamic communication. This paper examines Qur’anic verses that serve as the basis for persuasive da’wah, including Surah An-Nahl (16:125), Ali Imran (3:159), and Thaha (20:43–44). The findings reveal that the Qur’an emphasizes that da’wah should be carried out with hikmah (wisdom), mau‘izhah hasanah (good advice), and mujādalah billatī hiya ahsan (dialogue in the best manner). These principles affirm that da’wah is not merely the transmission of religious messages but a process of touching hearts and fostering spiritual awareness without coercion. In the context of modern society, persuasive da’wah is increasingly relevant as it promotes humanistic, dialogical, and contextual communication. Through this approach, da’wah serves not only as a means of spreading Islamic teachings but also as a medium for nurturing moral, social, and humanitarian values in accordance with the spirit of Islam as rahmatan lil ‘alamin (a mercy to all creation)
Review of Sharia Economic Law on Sharia Venture Capital Financing in the Digital Economy Sector
Get PDFAbstract
The rapid growth of the digital economy in Indonesia has created an increasingly urgent need for innovative financing models that are in line with sharia principles. Sharia venture capital, based on the principles of Musyarakah and Mudharabah contracts, offers a fair and riba-free financing alternative for digital startup s. This study aims to analyze how sharia venture capital regulations are applied in Indonesia's digital economy sector and identify the challenges faced by startup s in accessing sharia-based financing. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with legal-normative analysis, involving a review of relevant literature on existing regulations, such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation No. 35/POJK.05/2015 and the DSN-MUI Fatwa, as well as previous studies. The results of the study show that although regulations are in place, the implementation of sharia venture capital still faces various obstacles, such as low sharia financial literacy, limited applicable legal standards, and high risks for startup s. This study concludes that to optimize the potential of sharia venture capital in supporting the digital economy, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, improve sharia financial literacy, and develop better human resource (HR) capacity
