Modernism's understanding of family law construction often targets women's capabilities as much as the head of the family. But in normative terms, women's leadership is textually inconsistent with the provisions of Surah an-Nisa: 34. The textuality of the sentence is now criticized by the gender idea that women can be placed on an equal footing with men if they can. The initiation aims to interpret Q.S. an-Nisa: 34 with Gadamer's hermeneutic theory, to better understand comprehensively the contextuality of sentences in the demands of the times. This research is library research by studying literature related to research topics. Using Gadamer's interpretation, it can be seen that Q.S. an-Nisa: 34 contains fertilization of family leadership more flexibly. The leadership of the head of the family can be held not only by men but also by women. However, it should also be based on a qualified person, that is, someone who can cater to the family's financial needs and has good leadership skills.

Penerapan Metode Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) Dalam Pemilihan Kepala Laboratorium Menggunakan Pembobotan Rank Order Centroid (ROC)

In selecting the head of the laboratory, someone who has extensive knowledge in the specific field of the laboratory is needed, as well as good management and leadership skills. They may also be involved in developing new methods, selecting equipment, and developing laboratory policies. However, the challenge in the selection process for a new laboratory head is the high number of applicants and a series of selection stages which are time-consuming, including administrative selection, competency evaluation, and interviews. This causes difficulties for schools in making decisions to get candidates for laboratory heads that match their expectations. In solving problems in laboratory selection, the authors make 5 criteria including qualifications, experience, leadership, communication skills, and responsibility. So this research also needs a system that can help to solve existing problems. A system that can help solve problems is a Decision Support System (SPK). In completing this research, the writer has to find the weight value of the criterion data where the writer uses the ROC method to produce the weight value and after that the writer also searches for the ranking value using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The produce of ranking values in the TOPSIS method, the author must work according to predetermined steps in order to obtain precise and accurate preference values. The ROC and TOPSIS methods really help the writer in generating values accurately.

Santri are known to have independent, simple characters, do not give up easily and are willing to take risks. It is the character of the santri that becomes the capital of an entrepreneurial spirit. The main problem that arises today is the mentality of the entrepreneurial spirit of students. There are still many Islamic boarding schools that do not yet have an entrepreneurship program. In practice, many Islamic boarding schools develop spontaneous entrepreneurial activities. Pondok Al kayyis is a student hostel where all the students are students of Trunojoyo University, Madura. This boarding school consists of Pondok Putri and Pondok Pesantren with a total number of students of approximately 80 students. Budikdamber is an alternative to catfish cultivation that has just been recognized by the students, and this turned out to be very attractive to the students because the ingredients are simple and easy to obtain. Apart from that, budikdamber does not require external land to do so and provides great potential that promises to be used as a business or business. The low cost and fast harvest are the main attraction for the students to try it. The students who have backgrounds in various majors also begin to understand that entrepreneurship does not only require technical skills but also has good leadership skills in entrepreneurship to be successful. Self-confidence, high motivation, always innovative/creative, communicative, solutive and focused are the leadership qualities that must be possessed by successful entrepreneurs.

Profiling leadership: Attitudes, knowledge and training in the biological sciences.

The development and practice of good leadership skills (distinct from management skills) enhances both an individual's career development, and their organization. However, universities are known to present unique issues around the development, and practice, of good leadership. Good leadership skills should be considered essential for university staff who train (and mentor) staff or students. Currently, there is no clear evidence that staff in the biological (life) sciences undergo formal (routine) leadership skills training (or appraisal). Furthermore, what leadership training this group needs, or wants, is unknown. A questionnaire was designed to explore leadership dimensions (roles, training, perceptions, and attitudes), and incorporated the Leadership Attitudes and Belief scale (LABS) instrument. Including LABS allows evaluation of leadership attitudes as either Systemic (individual responsibility) or Hierarchical (chain-of-command). Self-selecting biological science academics and staff were recruited using an online survey. Analysis focused on academic staff (lecturer/Assistant professor, and above), and explored the relationship of leadership dimensions with key categories (career stage, gender, age, role, and professional experience). Staff were found to be knowledgeable about what leadership is, but strongly desire formal training in leadership skills and practice. Importantly, staff did not have access to specific leadership training (but did have access to management training), but felt strongly that gaining leadership skills would improve their professional skill set. Analysis found that academics in the biological sciences were oriented towards Systemic leadership, a more collective and supportive approach. It was clear that while good leadership skills are highly valued by academic staff, in practice these skills are underprovided in the biological sciences workplace. This work provides a profile, and benchmark, of leadership (current skills, and desired needs) in the biological sciences. These results provide evidence for the need to embed specific leadership skills training into professional development (and teaching) programmes in the biological sciences.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practice of leadership skills among undergraduate medical students.

Medical knowledge alone is insufficient to provide excellent medical care. Modern healthcare challenges require that all physicians have leadership skills in order to better cooperate and collaborate with other healthcare professionals and effectively lead their teams to provide the best possible care to their patients. The objective of this study was to describe medical students' prior knowledge of leadership concepts, to assess their common practice of its main skills and to explore their general perception of its application by their seniors. Non-graduated medical students enrolled in the 5th year of medicine or above were invited to fill-in an anonymous online questionnaire. 267 students (66% women) from different medical faculties took part in the study. 44% of the participants had a vague idea about leadership and 29% were completely ignorant of the concept. 52% of them thought that leadership was not to be expected from medical students, and 65% did not know that leadership in healthcare would benefit the patient. In their responses to simulated situations, the participants presented optimal attitudes embracing leadership attributes regarding self-awareness, receiving feedback, teamwork, stress and conflict management, however they present more contrasting attitudes when it came to time management and questioning oneself. Seniors with good leadership skills were perceived as few by half the participants. This survey highlighted the need of introducing specific leadership training programs within the curriculum of medical studies in Morocco.

Multi Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) Method of Decision on The Selection of the Head of Study Program Digital Business

The head of the study program is the spearhead of success in a study program. So a head of a study program is required to have good leadership and management skills in order to be able to carry out his duties and functions correctly. The problem that arises is that the appointment of a head of a study program is often carried out not looking at some aspects or criteria, usually the appointment is subjective and based on how long he has been a lecturer in the study program. Even though the appointment of a study program head must be seen from many aspects and criteria, this is done because if you appoint a study program head who is not competent, it can result in not running well with the study program he leads. The criteria used in this research are Functional Position, Education, Working Period, Research, PKM Activities, Supporting Activities and Lecturer Achievement. To overcome this problem, a decision support system with the MAUT method is the right solution to use. The advantage of the MAUT method is that the calculation and decision-making process is faster because it can directly calculate the final evaluation value without the need to compare the importance weight values between criteria. This method will process the criteria values of each candidate so that the results will be more objective. In this study, the number of alternatives used was 6 data on the value of the prospective head of the study program. Based on the MAUT process, a decision was obtained that the chosen head of the digital business study program was a Candidate-01 lecturer with a value of 1.0.

Role of Research-based Learning on Graduates’ Career Prospects

Education is still a leeway towards achieving individual’s personal growth as well as professional development. Further and Higher Education (FHE) are even more crucial in accelerating the achievement of these goals. Consequently, graduate students explore endless opportunities to enroll for postgraduate programs, hoping to gain financial independence, economic freedom, and improved standard of living after completion. Since graduate programs offer such tremendous career and life-changing opportunities, it is imperative to investigate if programs like the master’s in business administration are still relevant in today’s fast-moving business environment. This phenomenology study systematically utilizes underlying assumptions of research-based learning to assess a core aspect of universities’ MBA curriculum, that is writing a dissertation. It examines the value added by dissertation to graduates’ long-term career goals. Data for the study was obtained from fourteen MBA graduates through unstructured in-depth interviews. All the graduates currently work as full-time employees in their respective organisations, who were drawn from four main departments namely marketing, education, accounting and the IT industry. Our findings are thought provoking, yet compelling, in the sense that participants expressed mixed opinions concerning whether the dissertation prepared them for their current job roles. Most of them attributed their career successes to luck and hard work. Good communication and leadership skills also played major roles. Only few of them did acknowledge honing such skills while writing their dissertation during the research process. The implication of this research to stakeholders of higher education institutions, and policy makers, are also discussed.
