Shakilla Fasha — 2026-03-27

Writing is often considered a difficult skill to master, especially in language learning. One possible solution to this problem is the use of digital platforms such as Blogger. This study aims to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of using Blogger in teaching writing based on previous research. A systematic review of the literature that was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) process in several databases. the reviewed journals showed that that Blogger is an effective instructional medium for enhancing students’ writing skills, particularly in idea development, organization, coherence, and learning motivation.

Prayer (ṣalāh) occupies a central position in Islamic religious life and represents one of the most fundamental pillars of worship. Beyond its ritual dimension, prayer contains profound spiritual meanings that contribute to the formation of ethical behavior, emotional balance, and spiritual awareness among believers. In Islamic intellectual history, scholars have extensively discussed the spiritual dimensions of prayer, particularly within the tradition of Sufism. Among these scholars, Imam Al-Ghazali is widely recognized as one of the most influential thinkers who integrated Islamic jurisprudence, theology, and mysticism into a comprehensive framework of spiritual development. This study aims to analyze the spiritual values embedded in prayer from the perspective of Al-Ghazali and to examine the relevance of these values for contemporary spiritual and psychological life. The research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Primary data were obtained from Al-Ghazali’s classical work Ihya’ Ulum al-Din, while secondary data were collected from scholarly books and peer-reviewed journal articles related to Islamic spirituality and psychology of religion. The data were analyzed using descriptive and interpretative analysis. The findings reveal that Al-Ghazali views prayer not merely as a formal religious obligation but as a comprehensive spiritual discipline aimed at purifying the soul and strengthening the relationship between humans and God. Essential spiritual values in prayer include sincerity (ikhlas), presence of heart (hudhur al-qalb), humility (khushu’), remembrance of God (dhikr), and the balance between fear and hope (khauf and raja’). The study concludes that Al-Ghazali’s teachings on prayer remain highly relevant for contemporary life, as prayer functions as a transformative spiritual practice that fosters moral character, emotional resilience, and psychological well-being.

Winny Khodijah — 2026-03-27

The environment is a fundamental factor in the Islamic education process because it directly influences the formation of students' character and personality. Islamic education takes place not only in the classroom but also through social interactions, culture, and the spiritual environment surrounding students. This article aims to analyze the concept of the environment from an Islamic educational perspective and its role in the formation of students' character. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, examining primary and secondary sources in the form of the Qur'an, hadith, and the works of Islamic scholars and education experts. The results of the study indicate that the educational environment in Islam encompasses the family, school, community, and physical environment, all of which play a synergistic role in shaping Islamic morality. The family environment functions as the first madrasah (Islamic school), the school as a formal institution for fostering values, and the community as a social space for the actualization of Islamic values. In the digital era, environmental challenges are increasingly complex, necessitating the integration of digital literacy and the strengthening of Islamic values. Thus, optimizing the role of the educational environment is key to successfully forming the character of students with noble morals.

SPATIAL INFORMATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IOD AND TOTAL COLUMN WATER VAPOR IN CLOUD FORMATION IN THE WESTERN WATERS OF ACEH IN 2022

Maghfirah Maghfirah — 2026-04-05

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) phenomenon is one of the important factors affecting climate variability in western Indonesia, particularly in the waters west of Aceh. This study aims to analyze the relationship between negative IOD events and atmospheric water vapor represented by Total Column Water Vapor (TCWV) as well as cloud formation that could potentially affect weather conditions. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method utilizing ECMWF/ERA-5 reanalysis data for TCWV and HIMAWARI-8 EH infrared channel satellite image data. The analysis focused on the daily period of September 25–26, 2022. The results of the study show that on September 25, 2022, relatively high TCWV values correlated with increased convective cloud formation that had the potential to produce light rain in the waters west of Aceh. Meanwhile, on September 26, 2022, TCWV values and cloud formation intensity tended to be lower, so no significant rain potential was identified. These results indicate that the negative IOD phenomenon affects atmospheric water vapor distribution and cloud formation processes in the waters west of Aceh. This study is expected to contribute to the understanding of regional climate dynamics and serve as a basis for efforts to mitigate the risk of extreme weather in the coastal areas of Aceh.

Aulia Jasmine Zalfania Azzahra — 2026-04-07

Stunting is a long-term malnutrition problem that affects the quality of human resources and is a development priority. The government uses the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) for the health sector to accelerate stunting reduction. This study aims to analyze the budget performance of the stunting program at the Surabaya City Health Office in 2025, evaluate the effectiveness of DAK use, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. The method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and document analysis of scientific literature from 2019–2025 and official local government documents. The results indicate that the budget performance of the stunting program is quite effective and aligned with planning documents.

Krisna Primastya — 2026-04-07

This study aims to identify the factors contributing to the failure of the employee training program at PT. ABC in achieving its annual targets and to evaluate the program's effectiveness in enhancing employee skills.
