Halal tourism has emerged as a rapidly growing market segment within the global tourism industry. However, its development often focuses primarily on fulfilling the basic needs of Muslim travelers, without sufficiently addressing broader sustainability considerations. This article aims to analyze both conceptual and practical literature related to the sustainable management of halal tourism, identify research gaps, and propose a comprehensive management model. Through a systematic review of relevant scholarly articles, key dimensions of sustainability—economic, social, environmental, and spiritual—are identified as essential components to be integrated into halal tourism development. The proposed model emphasizes the importance of stakeholder collaboration, the application of technology, and the preservation of Islamic values in creating authentic and responsible tourism experiences. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of how halal tourism can be managed sustainably to generate long-term benefits for communities, the environment, and the tourism industry.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed the landscape of language learning, particularly in the post-pandemic era where self-directed learning through mobile applications and online platforms is increasingly common. This study explores the effectiveness of two popular digital tools LuvLingua and YouTube in supporting independent Japanese language learning among Indonesian university students. LuvLingua offers a structured, gamified approach suitable for beginners, while YouTube provides authentic and contextual exposure through real-life content. Using a descriptive quantitative method, this research involved twelve students from non-language majors who actively use both platforms to study Japanese. The findings reveal that each platform has distinct advantages: LuvLingua excels in foundational vocabulary and pronunciation, whereas YouTube significantly enhances listening skills and cultural understanding. The combination of both platforms yields optimal learning outcomes, although success heavily depends on learners’ motivation, discipline, and time management. This study contributes to the growing body of research on technology-assisted language learning and provides practical recommendations for learners, educators, and content developers.

This research looks into how well Duolingo and YouTube help people learn Japanese. A quantitative approach was taken, gathering information from 35 individuals through an online questionnaire. Participants were chosen based on whether they used Duolingo, YouTube, or both platforms. The questionnaire explored their past learning experiences, how they use these platforms, their preferences, how effective they think these tools are, and what challenges they encountered while learning. The findings reveal that most of the participants already had some background in Japanese and preferred online resources due to their accessibility, no cost, and fun features. Duolingo was liked for its organized, game-like approach, whereas YouTube was appreciated for its authentic, visual materials. A lot of people enjoyed learning at their own pace, finding listening and pronunciation to be useful strategies. Some individuals struggled with staying motivated and dealing with complicated grammar rules. To sum up, both Duolingo and YouTube are good resources for learning basic Japanese, especially for those studying on their own. However, they work best when used alongside other resources. It is suggested to combine digital tools with guidance from teachers for the best outcomes.

The research results show that AI integration can facilitate interactive and enjoyable learning, while the EQ approach strengthens students' internalization of religious and emotional values. However, its success depends on collaboration between technology, teachers and a curriculum oriented towards the holistic development of children. 

When someone enters old age, symptoms such as senility or difficulty remembering new information often appear. This condition is known as dementia, a syndrome characterized by decreased cognitive function, behavioral changes, memory impairment, disorientation, and difficulty communicating and making decisions. This community service program aims to provide information and understanding about how to handle dementia that can be done at home. Activities are carried out through a counseling method consisting of a pre-test, education, and post-test, using leaflets and questionnaires containing questions to measure the level of understanding of participants. The results of the counseling showed an increase in participant knowledge, as seen from the comparison of the graph between the pre-test and post-test results. Education accompanied by brain gymnastics practices has been shown to have a positive impact on increasing participants' understanding of dementia and how to handle it. It is hoped that this counseling will continue to provide benefits to participants and can be applied in everyday life.

Investigating and evaluating the effects of work discipline and motivation on employee performance at Karawang Regency's Department of Manpower and Transmigration is the aim of this study. The study was prompted by the urgent need to address the issue of low staff productivity. The methodology used is a descriptive research with a quantitative experimental approach. The saturation sampling technique, which uses the entire population as the sample, was used to select the 100 respondents in total. Data was collected by questionnaires, and the results were analyzed using descriptive interpretation and multiple linear regression tests in SPSS version 25. Based on the validity test results, 15 items for each variable motivation, work discipline, and employee performance were declared valid, and all items were found to be reliable. The data analysis results indicated that the significance values for motivation (X1) and work discipline (X2) were both 0.000. Since these values are less than 0.05, it can be concluded that both factors have a considerable effect on employee performance. These findings support the notion that more employee motivation and discipline translate into improved performance. With the best motivation and discipline, the Department of Manpower and Transmigration at Karawang Regency will be more productive.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Drops app in improving Japanese vocabulary acquisition among beginners. Based on the theory of cognitivism, the study used a descriptive qualitative method with a sample of 21 subjects who answered 11 questions through a Google Form survey. Results showed that the use of Drops significantly increased the average vocabulary score by 43 % (from 28.5 to 40.7), which was influenced by the integration of gamification features and spaced repetition mechanism in the application. The majority of respondents (76 %) reported high satisfaction with ease of use, learning motivation, and effectiveness of visual illustrations, consistent with previous research on audiovisual and gamification-based mobile apps. However, about 24 % of respondents recorded medium to low scores on motivational aspects and interface appearance, indicating the need for UX/UI enhancements to expand adoption. Demographic statistics revealed the average age of respondents to be 18.38 years (Q1=17; median=18; Q3=20), confirming that teenagers and pre-adults are the main group of Drops users. The findings provide recommendations for both language education practitioners and app developers to optimize design and features to maximize vocabulary learning effectiveness.
