MAXIMIZING ENGLISH PROFICIENCY THROUGH SHORT-TERM INTENSIVE COURSES
This study investigates the effectiveness of a short-term intensive English course designed to improve English Proficiency Test (EPT) scores among postgraduate students at Universitas Islam Kadiri (UNISKA) Kediri. EPT at UNISKA mirrors the TOEFL structure and functions as a critical requirement for postgraduate academic standards. However, many students struggle to meet the required scores due to limited time and lack of targeted instruction. Drawing on theories of motivation (Goal Setting Theory, Achievement Goal Theory, and Behavioral Goal Setting Theory) and Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, this research implements a five-session course focusing on listening, structure and written expression, and reading comprehension. The study uses a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with 70 postgraduate participants. Findings show a significant improvement in students’ EPT scores after completing the course. The results highlight the potential of well-structured, short-term interventions in enhancing academic English proficiency in a time-efficient manner, particularly when tailored to learners' needs and supported by motivational strategies. This study offers practical insights for higher education institutions aiming to support postgraduate students in meeting English language proficiency standards

Promo Dompet Digital dan Israf Mahasiswa: Analisis Perilaku Konsumtif Generasi Z
The use of digital wallets among students is growing rapidly and provides ease of transactions, but it also triggers consumptive behavior. This study aims to analyze the consumptive behavior of students using digital wallets in Kendal Regency and review it from the perspective of sharia economics. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive with interview and questionnaire methods. The data was analyzed using inductive techniques through the stages of collection, reduction, and interpretation. The results showed that 82% of college students have consumptive tendencies, characterized by impulse purchases, the use of promotions without considering needs, and the use of digital wallets for non-priority consumption. Environmental, lifestyle, psychological, and friendship factors have been shown to encourage this behavior. Sharia economic analysis confirms that this behavior is contrary to the principles of proportionality, responsibility, and the prohibition of israf (excess) and tabdzir (waste). This study recommends Islamic financial literacy and Islamic value-based education as an effort to reduce student consumptive behavior. These findings make a theoretical contribution to the study of digital financial behavior and practical implications for universities, society, and financial regulators

The results of this research show that: 1) Brand image has a significant influence and the hypothesis is accepted with reference to a t value of 1.792 with a significance level of 0.075. (2) Price has a significant influence and the hypothesis is accepted with reference to a t value of 4.526 with a significance level of 0.001. (3) Product quality has a significant influence and the hypothesis is accepted with reference to a t value of 2.483 with a significance level of 0.000.

Kebijakan ini menuntut peralihan dari pola kerja tradisional ke sistem kerja berbasis digital, mengingat pelaksanaan kerja dari rumah tidak boleh menghentikan jalannya administrasi pemerintahan. Untuk mendukung penerapan kerja jarak jauh, Kementerian Keuangan menggunakan aplikasi Naskah Dinas Elektronik (Nadine).

Pengaruh Kompensasi dan Kepuasan Kerja Terhadap Kinerja Karyawan PT.Aplikanusa Lintasarta.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to look at how compensation and job satisfaction affect employee productivity at PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta. With an associative technique, the study uses a quantitative approach. The Operations Division has 66 workers, and saturated sampling is the sampling method employed. Using hypothesis testing (ttest and Ftest), multiple linear regression, classical assumption tests, and validity and reliability tests, data were obtained via structured questionnaires. The results demonstrate that compensation has a favorable and significant impact on employee performance (t = 2. 289 > ttable = 1. 998; sig. = 0. 025). Additionally, job satisfaction has a positive and substantial influence (t = 4. 874 > ttable = 1. 998; sig. = 0. 000). At the same time, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0. 603, compensation and job satisfaction have a significant impact on employee performance (F = 47. 784 > Ftable = 3. 142; sig. = 0. 000). This shows that the two variables account for 60. 3% of an employee's performance, while other factors account for the remaining 39. 7%. The need to implement successful compensation strategies and increase job satisfaction in order to boost employee performance is highlighted by these results.

The Effect of Competence, Moral Reasoning, Altruism, and Auditor's Locus of Control Behavior on Audit Quality
Introduction/Main Objectives: This study aims to analyze the influence of auditor competence, moral reasoning, altruism, and locus of control on audit quality in the Public Accounting Enterprises of Jakarta and Bekasi. Background Problems: Audit quality plays a pivotal role in maintaining public trust and ensuring the integrity of financial reports. Recent cases, such as the audit mismanagement of PT Indosat Tbk, highlight the importance of understanding how individual auditor traits impact audit outcomes. Novelty: While prior research has evaluated each factor individually, this study offers a comprehensive analysis of four psychological and behavioral aspects—competence, moral reasoning, altruism, and locus of control—in shaping audit quality, specifically within Indonesian public accounting firms. Research Methods: A quantitative approach was used by distributing Likert-scale questionnaires to 100 auditors from firms in Jakarta and Bekasi. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the effect of each independent variable on audit quality. Finding/Results: The results reveal that auditor competence and moral reasoning significantly and positively affect audit quality. Conversely, altruism has a statistically significant negative effect, indicating that excessive selflessness may compromise objectivity. The locus of control variable showed no significant influence, suggesting that internal or external control beliefs do not necessarily impact audit quality in this context. Conclusion: This study concludes that strengthening auditor competence and moral judgment enhances audit quality, while unchecked altruism may hinder professional skepticism. Research limitation/implications: These findings emphasize the need for targeted training and ethical reinforcement in audit environments. Future research should explore additional behavioral dimensions and expand the geographical scope to validate these results

This research aims to analyze the legal arrangements regarding the recognition of the law that lives in society in the 2023 Criminal Code (KUHP) and examine the urgency of integrating customary sanctions in the national penal system, especially in Biak Numfor Regency, as a manifestation of restorative justice. The research method used is normative-empirical legal research, with a legislative, conceptual, and sociological approach, through literature study and analysis of customary case settlement practices in Biak Numfor.

This study emphasizes that the integration of customary sanctions into the national penal system is a strategic step towards a legal system that is humanistic, socially just, and rooted in the local values of Indonesian society
