Purpose: The Indonesian government has set a new renewable energy target of 23% by 2025, which will play an important role in the energy transition program, especially in rural areas. This article describes the village government's perception of the energy transition through the energy-independent village program in Mojokerto Regency. Research methodology: This article examines village government perceptions of energy transition using descriptive qualitative research, and the theory of social capital is an analytical tool for viewing village perceptions in Mojokerto Regency in realizing an energy-independent village. Results: The results show that many village governments in Mojokerto Regency still think that renewable energy transition is not an important agenda for villages. Contribution:  This research will be input to the government of Mojokerto Regency on the issue of energy transition as well as for the central government through the Ministry of Villages in assessing the village's ability to face the energy transition process. Limitations: Because only a few villages will be discussed in this study, this limitation will be balanced with an overview of other villages.

Purpose: This study aims to develop an integrative learning model to improve student character based on Islamic values sourced from the Qur'an and Hadith. This Research and Development research (research and development) using 4D development techniques (Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate). Method: The study was conducted at Insan Scholar Madani Serpong High School. Data were obtained through interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and observations. The interview, documentation, and observation instruments were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis, whereas the questionnaire instruments were analyzed using independent T test statistical analysis. Results: The results revealed that 1) the factual conditions of the learning process at Insan Scholar Madani High School before using the integrative learning model of character education based on Islamic values still used conventional learning, and there had been efforts to carry out contextual learning, but it was not effective. After using the integrative learning model, the learning process shows that this model has high benefits for students, a high level of ease of application, attracts students to participate in learning, and motivates students in the learning process. 2) Preparation of the initial design for integrative learning includes several phases: open, causal, hypothetical, and closed. The initial draft development steps included the development of syntax, social systems, response principles, support tools, instructional impacts, and derivative impacts. 3) Model development was validated through three validators: learning model expert validators, character development expert validators, and learning practitioner validators. 4) There was a significant difference in effectiveness between the use of integrative learning methods in the experimental class and conventional models in the control class in improving the character of students' Islamic values at the Insan Scholar Madani High School. Practicality is obtained from the results of evaluations carried out by teachers; this model has very good syntax, can be implemented well, and has very good assessment tools.

Purpose: This literature review discusses the use of Sungkai leaves (Peronema canescens Jack.) and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) in soap production as promising natural alternatives in the cosmetic industry. Sungkai leaves have been proven to possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, whereas VCO is known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous research has indicated that Sungkai leaf extract and VCO have the potential to be effective soap formulations for maintaining skin health. Method: The research method employed in this study is a literature review that gathers, analyzes, and synthesizes information from various literature sources to present a comprehensive overview of the use of both ingredients in soap production. Results: The research results indicate that the combination of Sungkai leaves and VCO in soap provides good cleansing effects and maintains skin health and moisture. The practical implications of this research are the potential development of more effective and environmentally friendly soap products for the cosmetic industry.

Purpose: This research reviews the meaning of the influence of dynastic politics after the issuance of the Constitutional Court's decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 on the upcoming 2024 elections because it is related to the application of democracy in Indonesia. Method: This research was conducted using descriptive research methods using a qualitative approach. Results: The results of this study indicate that there is an inequality in the distribution of political power ahead of the 2024 elections especially the presidential and vice presidential elections after the Constitutional Court granted the case lawsuit with number 90/PUU- XXI/2023 related to the minimum age of the presidential and vice presidential candidates in Law Number 7 of 2017 about elections. This decision was suspected of the results of the dynastic political games from the parties involved so that they could reflect imperfections in the representation of democracy in politics. With the existence of a political dynasty, the pillar of democracy is in a big threat. Dynastic politics resulted in social mobilisation, because power was only associated with certain groups of people. Limitations: This study uses fairly short time-series data, so that the addition of a longer time-series will of course give better results. Contributions: Improvements in democracy in Indonesia should also strengthen democratic norms that apply in society. The 2024 election, it is expected to be carried out by people who use their democratic rights well in choosing the head of state for the achievement of the ideals of the state and democracy.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XII/2023 concerning the Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates is in accordance with the principles of the rule of law and Pancasila democracy. Method: This article was prepared using normative juridical research methods with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. In this approach, several primary legal materials are used, namely statutory regulations that are relevant to the object of study, especially Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/Puu-XII/2023. In addition, the researcher used a case approach to understand the decidendi ratio, namely the legal reasons used by the judge to arrive at his decision, and a conceptual approach used by the researcher to understand the concept of the rule of law and the democratic principle of Pancasila, which refers to the doctrine that developed in the views of the Ulama or legal doctrine. Results: The results of this research indicate that the procedures or mechanisms for implementing Constitutional Court Number 90/Puu-XII/2023 concerning Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates must be in accordance with the procedures regulated in the constitution as a concept of a legal state (rehstsstat) where there is a division of power. From this concept it can be seen that the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 90/Puu-XII/2023 concerning the Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates violates authority because the decision is an open legal policy entrusted by the drafters of the third amendment to the Constitution 1945 to the legislators to "... be further regulated by law based on Article 6 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
