Patient safety is a key component of quality management systems in healthcare services. At the primary healthcare level, the implementation of patient safety systems often faces various challenges, such as limited human resources, organizational culture, clinical leadership, and suboptimal incident reporting systems. Community clinics play a strategic role in providing safe, effective, and high-quality healthcare services for the community. This study aims to examine the implementation of quality management and patient safety at the Baitul Qurro School Clinic. It also seeks to identify barriers and supporting factors in the implementation of patient safety, as well as to explore the experiences of healthcare workers in implementing service quality systems. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation of service processes, and review of the clinic’s quality documents. The research informants consisted of healthcare workers and clinic managers involved in patient care and quality management. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis to identify key themes related to organizational structure, service processes, and patient safety outcomes. The results show that the implementation of patient safety is influenced by several key factors, including leadership commitment, the availability of standard operating procedures, communication among healthcare workers, and the incident reporting system. Limited resources and the lack of structured training were identified as barriers to the optimal implementation of patient safety systems. This study highlights the importance of strengthening the patient safety culture at the primary healthcare level through the integration of quality management systems, capacity building for healthcare workers, and the reinforcement of professional ethical values based on Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan.

Rural agriculture often faces limited access to precision technology and efficient downstream management, hindering productivity and sustainability. This community service initiative aimed to implement and evaluate a Solar-Autonomous AgroDrone, a solar-powered drone system designed to support automated crop monitoring and downstream agricultural processes in Curahmalang Village, Jember Regency, through the Community Service Program of Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember. While prior studies confirm that drone technology improves precision farming efficiency, integration with renewable energy for rural community empowerment remains underexplored. The program applied a participatory action approach involving 25 farmers and 15 village youths through technical training, field demonstrations, and supervised agricultural monitoring over 12 weeks. Data were collected from crop productivity records, operational cost comparisons, and structured adoption surveys, then analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics. The findings show a 27% increase in crop monitoring efficiency and a 32% reduction in fuel-related operational costs due to solar energy utilization. Early pest detection responsiveness improved by 45%, and 68% of participating farmers indicated readiness for sustained adoption. No significant technical failures were recorded during implementation. These results support sustainable agriculture theory emphasizing renewable energy integration and digital precision tools for resilient rural development. In conclusion, the Solar-Autonomous AgroDrone enhances automated downstream agricultural practices while strengthening energy-efficient and sustainable farming systems. Its novelty lies in combining solar-powered drone innovation with community-based agricultural empowerment within a structured service-learning framework.

This study explores the growing phenomena of cryptocurrency participation among Muslim women in Bauchi, Nigeria, including mining, trading, and related financial activities, and looks at how it affects their financial situation. Digital currencies are revolutionizing financial inclusion on a global scale by giving excluded groups access to alternative investment and income-generating alternatives. However, there is still little research on the use of cryptocurrencies in low-income environments, particularly among culturally restricted populations. This study uses a mixed-methods approach that includes surveys, focus groups, and in-depth interviews with 300 Muslim women involved in e-currency ecosystems. It draws on adaptive diffusion theory and socio-economic inclusion frameworks. The results show that trading cryptocurrencies, especially peer-to-peer (P2P) exchanges, has helped users diversify their sources of income, improve their financial independence, and lessen the effects of inflation and currency devaluation. Despite being limited by capital and energy expenses, mining operations have also given some participants access to specialized revenue sources. The study also highlights important mediators of economic impact, such as financial literacy, access to digital infrastructure, social network support, Islamic ethical considerations around risk and riba, and digital literacy. Concerns regarding market volatility, unclear regulations, and inadequate institutional protections endure despite favorable economic consequences. In addition to providing policy suggestions for inclusive financial literacy programs, community-based regulatory guidelines, and gender-responsive digital economy strategies, the research advances our understanding of the adoption of digital finance in culturally particular contexts.

The rapid spread of fintech innovation, digital transformation, and platform-based economies is transforming global socioeconomic systems, necessitating a rethinking of educational curricula to prepare students for participation in a technologically advanced society. However, in many developing countries, curricular frameworks remain fragmented, with little integration of ethical underpinnings, civic knowledge, and global communication skills. This study suggests an interdisciplinary curriculum reform approach that combines Islamic Studies, Social Studies, and English Language Education to meet the rising demands of the digital economy. The study suggests that digital economic participation should prioritize sustainability and social cohesion, based on the ethical principles of Islamic moral economy, including justice (ʿadl), trust (amānah), and social responsibility in finance. Social Studies provides critical viewpoints on globalization, citizenship, digital governance, and sustainable development, whilst English Language Education teaches pupils the communicative and digital literacy skills required for global fintech involvement and cross-border collaboration. The paper uses a qualitative conceptual framework supported by curriculum analysis and interdisciplinary theory to outline solutions for incorporating financial literacy, ethical fintech awareness, sustainability education, and professional communication skills into secondary and postsecondary curricula. The suggested approach encourages value-driven digital competency, ethical innovation, and equitable engagement in global financial systems. By navigating the nexus of fintech innovation, sustainability, and society, this study advances a holistic educational paradigm that aligns moral economy principles with digital transformation goals, contributing to resilient and ethically grounded human capital development in a globalized world.

Within the larger context of Islamic social finance, this research explores how waqf has evolved from a conventional charitable organization to a useful tool for long-term socioeconomic development. In Muslim societies throughout history, waqf has been essential in promoting communal welfare, healthcare, education, and religious institutions. However, weak governance structures, insufficient legal and regulatory frameworks, poor asset management, and a lack of strategic alignment with national and community development goals have limited its effectiveness in many modern contexts. Waqf is therefore frequently limited to temporary humanitarian endeavors rather than being utilized as a long-term development organization. This research investigates the evolving role of waqf within Islamic social finance using a qualitative research technique. It draws on an extensive survey of scholarly literature, policy documents, chosen case studies, and insights from expert interviews. The analysis finds important institutional, ethical, and practical constraints that impede waqf’s developmental potential, such as governance flaws, inadequate transparency, poor public awareness, and fragmented cooperation with other Islamic social finance mechanisms like zakat. The findings show that waqf has considerable untapped potential to contribute to long-term human development when repositioned within a comprehensive development framework. Institutional reforms, professional management practices, accountability systems, and policy integration appear to be significant variables for improving its efficacy. The research suggests that integrating waqf with maq??id al-shar??ah objectives and current development concerns can reposition it as a sustainable funding mechanism alongside other Islamic finance instruments. The research concludes with practical policy proposals aimed at strengthening waqf governance, institutional capacity, and strategic relevance, thus increasing its contribution to long-term social and economic growth in Muslim nations.
