Anxiety disorders in teenagers are a serious issue that can impact various aspects of their lives, such as social interactions, academic achievement, and emotional well-being. To address these challenges, group counseling has proven to be an effective approach. In group counseling, teenagers can share their experiences with others facing similar issues, creating a supportive and understanding environment. Techniques like open discussions help them identify the causes of their anxiety more effectively, while role-playing allows them to practice new ways of dealing with anxiety-inducing situations. Relaxation exercises also assist them in developing skills to manage anxiety effectively in their daily lives. Literature studies indicate that group counseling not only reduces anxiety levels in teenagers but also enhances their social skills, self-confidence, and emotional resilience. With support from family, schools, and the community, group counseling can become a sustainable strategy in promoting teenagers' mental well-being. Therefore, it is important to consider that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for all teenagers. However, group counseling provides a safe and structured platform for teenagers to learn from each other, strengthen their coping skills, and make progress in overcoming their anxiety. With this approach, it is hoped that teenagers can build a strong foundation for their ongoing mental health.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to evaluate financing practices with murabahah contracts carried out by Islamic Banks in Indonesia. While this practice can generate significant profits, there are risks of adherence to sharia principles. The main issue involves the use of the wakalah contract and the existence of murabahah objects. Research shows that wakalah contracts are still made at the same time as murabahah contracts, and the existence of murabahah objects is not always ascertained by Islamic banks. In overcoming this dilemma, Islamic banks need to maintain a balance between seeking maximum profit and complying with Islamic financial principles. Strategies such as ensuring compliance with Sharia principles, product diversification, employee and customer education, building partnerships, developing technology, and maintaining transparency and accountability can be adopted. By implementing this strategy, Islamic banks are expected to achieve adequate profitability while still adhering to Sharia principles, strengthening their position in increasingly competitive financial markets.

Indonesia has a variety of cultural diversity, one of the cultures in Indonesia that is known to be unique and even preserved by the community is the tradition to make peace with nature known as tolak bala. This tradition usually uses animals that are not arbitrary but there are special animal characteristics. One of them is the kendhit goats. People carry out this tradition to correct the bad things that are happening to them. This journal aims to find out the dark side of the tradition of slaughtering kendhit goats to reject reinforcements. This research uses qualitative methods, namely a descriptive analysis approach to data obtained from books and journals. In Islamic shari'a, this includes slaughtering animals other than Allah, so that the perpetrators in this act fall into grand shirk., this shirk can remove the perpetrator from Islam and Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala will persecute him and will not forgive his sins unless the perpetrator repents with true repentance. In this tradition, there is also a selametan event, namely joint prayers, which was never taught by the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wassalam, so it fell into the act of heresy. As we know the practice of worship that has no guidance, will be rejected from worship. Sometimes in selametan events, there is a meal together. Where the community enjoys the results of the sacrifice. The law of origin of the slaughtered meat should not be eaten because the meat is the result of sacrifice for other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the principles of Qawaid Fiqih applied in the implementation of sharia economics in Indonesia. Qawaid Fiqih is the basic rules in Islamic law that function as a normative foundation in various sharia economic activities. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature study methods and in-depth interviews to collect data from various sources, including government regulations, policies of Islamic financial institutions, and the views of Islamic economists. The results of the study show that the principles of Qawaid Fiqih, such as al-Dharar yuzal (danger must be eliminated), al-Masyaqqah tajlibu al-taysir (difficulty brings convenience), and al-Ghunm bil-ghurm (benefits are proportional to risks), play an important role in ensuring that sharia economic practices in Indonesia run following sharia principles. These principles are applied in various sectors, such as Islamic banking, Islamic insurance, and Islamic capital markets, and help overcome the regulatory and operational challenges faced by Islamic financial institutions. The study also identifies several challenges in the implementation of Qawaid Fiqih in Indonesia, including a lack of a deep understanding of these principles among Sharia economic practitioners and regulations that still need to be refined to support more effective implementation. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more comprehensive and sustainable policies in supporting the growth of the Sharia economy in Indonesia. Overall, this study confirms that the proper implementation of Qawaid Fiqih can improve the efficiency and integrity of the sharia economic system in Indonesia. It is hoped that the results of this study can guide policymakers and practitioners in developing a better sharia economic system following Islamic values.

Authors: Amalia Titis Putri Dika , Annisa Syifa
Published: January 2025

Background: Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) as feed additives are intended to enhance growth and suppress pathogenic microorganism infections in the digestive tract, thereby improving body weight, feed efficiency, growth rates, and reducing mortality. However, long-term use can lead to genetic mutations in pathogens, resulting in decreased effectiveness of antibiotic therapies. Conversely, not utilizing AGPs in the broiler chicken industry poses risks such as reduced performance, increased mortality rates, higher feed conversion ratios (FCR), and diminished organ functions, including those of the liver, gizzard, and heart. Moringa leaves are recognized for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that can modify metabolic and digestive processes, potentially enhancing broiler performance. Methods: The study investigates the effects of fermented moringa leaves combined with acidifiers and probiotics as an alternative to Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) in broiler chickens. Three treatment groups were established: P1 (90% water, 10% fermented moringa), P2 (80% water, 20% fermented moringa), and P3 (70% water, 30% fermented moringa). Growth performance was assessed by measuring slaughter weight, carcass percentage, and organ function (liver, gizzard, and heart). Data analysis focused on evaluating the impact of each treatment on broiler productivity and overall health. Findings: The study employs fermented moringa leaves combined with acidifiers and probiotics as treatments categorized into three groups: P1 (90% drinking water with 10% fermented moringa), P2 (80% drinking water with 20% fermented moringa), and P3 (70% drinking water with 30% fermented moringa). Results indicate that the treatment P1 significantly affects slaughter weight and carcass percentage but does not impact substantially liver, gizzard, and heart percentages. Conclusions: The combination of fermented moringa leaves with acidifiers and probiotics shows promise as a natural growth promoter to improve broiler performance. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces fermented moringa leaves combined with acidifiers and probiotics as a novel alternative to AGPs, demonstrating their potential to enhance broiler growth performance while maintaining organ health.

Assessing the vulnerability of urban areas to the urban heat island phenomenon: Strategies for effective mitigation and sustainable urban planning
Authors: Alexandra Pricilia Chika , Philip Yonathan
Published: January 2025

Background: Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon that causes significant temperature differences between urban areas and surrounding suburban or rural areas. This phenomenon can be found even in medium to small-sized cities and is measured based on the temperature difference between urban and rural areas. Methods: This study employs a systematic literature review to analyze research on urban heat islands and applied mitigation strategies. The review follows a structured process, including selection criteria based on albedo, vegetation area, and anthropogenic factors, to identify and classify relevant case studies. The analysis focuses on three mitigation approaches: reducing urban albedo, increasing vegetation, and reducing anthropogenic heat emissions. Findings: In cities, urban heat islands are influenced by factors such as building density, the nature of roads and building surface materials that store heat, lack of green land, and activities carried out in urban areas. With high activity and population density, urban heat islands can cause temperature increases both locally and globally. The increase in temperature in the microclimate in urban areas triggers an increase in death rates due to heat waves, causes discomfort in human activities, and greatly impacts vulnerable groups. This phenomenon will become increasingly widespread due to urbanization which results in urban sprawl which expands urban areas. Conclusion: Urban vulnerability to urban heat islands requires interdisciplinary studies to analyse and develop effective mitigation. The mitigation carried out aims to reduce the negative impact of the urban heat island phenomenon. Novelty/Originality of this article: Three mitigation solutions that can be implemented are reducing urban albedo because albedo can reflect solar radiation, increasing urban vegetation to reduce heat in the surrounding area, and reducing anthropogenic heat emissions by reducing heat emissions from daily activities.

The complex religious background and diverse cultural setting of Nigeria make it a nation to investigate the intersections of religion, religiosity, leadership style and ideological drive. With roughly half of its population as Christians and the other half as Muslims, Nigeria has been the site of ongoing tensions and debates around women's rights, religious identity, leadership and the role of religion in public life. This study, therefore, examines religion, religiosity and the Marxists ideology in Adeoluwa Owu’s widely celebrated film, Adire. The study adopts the content analysis method, and reveals that religious beliefs and practices often shape economic behaviour and vice versa. It is also revealed that religion empowerment and traditional power structures often shape social norms and perpetuate inequalities in Nigerian and indeed, most African societies. The study concludes that religious syncretism promotes cultural resilience, and that the fusion of traditional African spirituality with contemporary expressions of faith demonstrates the adaptability of religious beliefs and practices in the face of social change and external pressures.

Authors: Choori Ali
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effect of psychological safety on the voluntary and deviant work behaviors of physical education teachers in Golestan province, with the mediating role of organizational voice. This applied research is correlational, and data collection was conducted in the field. The statistical population included 575 physical education teachers in Golestan province in the year 2022, with a sample size of 228 teachers estimated based on Cochran's formula. Stratified random sampling method was used to select the research sample. Data for this research were collected using three standard questionnaires on psychological safety, voluntary work behaviors, deviant behaviors, and organizational voice. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by experts in sports management, and their reliability was calculated in a preliminary study using Cronbach's alpha as 0.80, 0.78, 0.70, and 0.79, respectively. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. SPSS 25 and Smart PLS 3 software were used for data analysis. Psychological safety has a positive and significant effect on the voluntary work behaviors of physical education teachers. It was also found that the effect of psychological safety on the organizational voice of physical education teachers is positive and significant. Another part of the results showed that psychological safety has a negative and significant effect on the deviant behaviors of physical education teachers. It was determined that the effect of psychological safety on the voluntary work behaviors of physical education teachers with the mediating role of organizational voice is positive and significant. Considering the results obtained, it seems advisable to choose an appropriate management style to prevent the occurrence of negative behaviors and create a collaborative work environment where physical education teachers can discuss and exchange views on their work processes alongside other teachers.
