In Indonesia, maize has replaced rice as the staple food. However, many farmers fail to achieve optimal maize growth rates and yields because the maize planting techniques developed by them depend only on their knowledge and understanding of the relevant sciences relevant to maize planting. To determine the effect of applying different spacing and planting depths on the growth and yield of maize was the objective of this study. A factorial RAK model with two factors was used in this study. There were three levels of planting distance notation (J) in this RAK: 70 x 25 cm for Planting Distance 1, 70 x 40 cm for Planting Distance 2, and 75 x 50 cm for Planting Distance 3. There were also four levels of planting depth notation (K): 3 cm for Depth 1, 5 cm for Depth 2, 7 cm for Depth 3, and 8 cm for Depth 4. The results showed that it could really affect the growth and yield of corn at the correlation of spacing 75 x 50 cm and depth 5 cm. Farm women also contribute to this activity with their experience and skills because the higher the presence of farm women who contribute will make the results of corn farming higher.

Polygamy in Islam is regulated with clear provisions based on the Qur'an and Hadith. Surah Al-Nisa/4:3 permits polygamy with a maximum of four wives, under the primary condition of fairness in fulfilling material needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. However, Surah Al-Nisa/4:129 emphasizes that emotional fairness, such as inclinations of the heart, cannot be mandated as it is beyond human capability. The Prophet Muhammad SAW exemplified how to practice polygamy while adhering to the principle of justice emphasized in Islam. Historically, the regulation of polygamy aimed to address social crises in early Islamic society, such as the high number of widows and orphans due to war. Polygamy was viewed as a social solution to protect the rights of women and children, albeit under strict conditions. In conclusion, polygamy in Islam is an option permitted only in specific circumstances, not an obligation or outright recommendation, with a strong emphasis on justice and the welfare of all parties involved.

In the rapidly evolving digital era, effective business models are crucial for sustaining competitiveness. This research explores the application of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to TemplateKuy, a digital platform providing Notion and Spreadsheet templates. The study aims to identify how BMC's nine components—customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structures—can be optimized for business growth and sustainability. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving interviews, observations, and SWOT analysis to evaluate TemplateKuy’s strategic positioning. The findings reveal that BMC helps TemplateKuy create tailored strategies that align with market demands, improve operational efficiency, and increase value for its users. However, challenges such as resource limitations and market competition persist. These results offer valuable insights for similar businesses aiming to leverage BMC for strategic planning. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation and customer feedback to maintain relevance in the dynamic digital industry.

The recruitment and selection process of teachers in educational institutions plays a crucial role in determining the quality of education provided to students. In the context of an ever-evolving education system, the challenges of finding competent educators have become increasingly complex. Various studies indicate that effective recruitment can contribute to the enhancement of teaching and learning quality. Therefore, optimizing this process is essential to meet the demand for quality education. This research aims to explore and analyze optimal strategies in the recruitment and selection process of teachers based on a literature review of related books and journals. By understanding existing best practices, this study is expected to provide recommendations that can be implemented by educational institutions to improve the effectiveness of their recruitment and selection processes. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative approach with a literature analysis. Data were collected through a systematic review of books and journals discussing teacher recruitment and selection. The analysis process involved identifying key themes emerging from various sources, as well as comparing and contrasting findings from existing literature to gain a comprehensive understanding of effective practices. The findings of this study indicate that the optimization of the teacher recruitment and selection process can be achieved through several strategies, including the use of more objective assessment tools, the development of clear selection criteria, and community involvement in the recruitment process. Additionally, this research also highlights the importance of training for selection committees to enhance their ability to assess teacher candidates holistically. The recommendations generated from this study are expected to contribute positively to educational institutions in their efforts to improve the quality of educators.

Digital transformation (DT) is a necessity for incumbent companies today, including MSMEs, to be able to continue to compete in the era of technological disruption and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aims to design IT governance (ITG) for BPRACo MSMEs using the COBIT 2019 SME focus area framework. The research method used is design science research (DSR) which creates artifacts in the form of ITG solution development methods and systems. The research results revealed that the highest GMO priorities selected were APO10 Managed Vendors, MEA03 Managed Compliance with External Requirements, and APO12 Managed Risk. From the analysis of the selected GMOs, there are gaps and recommendations for improvement in the seven components which are then mapped into three aspects, namely people, process and technology aspects. The results of the research analysis show that the ambidextrous IT governance approach has succeeded in increasing the level of capability in several main components of BPRACo MSMEs in adopting DT. The right ITG strategy can help BPRACo MSMEs operating in the banking industry achieve a successful DT journey.
