THE EFFECT OF STUDENT LEARNING CREATIVITY MANAGEMENT ON ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION LEARNING OUTCOMES AT SMA SAPTA KHARISMA JAKARTA
Abstract
The goal of managing creativity in education is to influence students' inventiveness while fostering an environment that always motivates them to learn effectively and with enthusiasm. Less engaging and boring learning environments make it difficult for pupils to absorb the teachings since they make them feel bored while the content is being presented. Students may consequently get indifferent, which has an impact on how well they manage their creativity and their learning objectives. Learning creativity management is the result of evaluating students' knowledge, attitudes, and abilities as well as behavioral changes after they have participated in the learning process. "What students have achieved after engaging in learning activities" is the term used to describe the planned management of learning creativity. A vital component of human growth, especially in educational settings, is creativity. A solution-oriented attitude, which includes the ability to recognize current issues and formulate plans for finding solutions, will be shaped and produced by well-developed creativity. By using correlational data analysis techniques and distributing questionnaire surveys, the quantitative research approach was implemented. The purpose of this quantitative study is to examine how Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes at SMA Sapta Kharisma Jakarta are impacted by students' learning creativity management. 52 respondents' numerical data was gathered in order to achieve this goal. Using a Likert scale, the surveys were disseminated in a closed manner. After that, an instrument validity test was performed on the questionnaire data to ascertain its validity. Regression analysis and hypothesis testing were the last steps, followed by a test to see if the data were regularly distributed. The author makes inferences from the study on how students' learning creative management affects Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes at SMA Sapta Kharisma Jakarta based on the findings of data analysis and discussion. 24 students (46.15% of 52 students) were classified as having learning outcomes with an average score ranging from 137 to 141 based on the computation of the Islamic Religious Education learning outcome variables. Meanwhile, 20 students (38.46% of 52 students) were classified as having creativity based on the variable of students' learning creativity, with an average score that ranged from 137 to 140. With a significance level of 0.00 < 0.05, the computed F-value was 1.575, suggesting that the regression model of learning outcomes for Islamic Religious Education had an impact on the variable of students' learning creativity. Additionally, the coefficient of determination (R Square) was 0.969 based on the model in Table 4.16, which had an R-value of 0.984. This suggests that the dependent variable, students' learning creativity, was 96.875% impacted by the independent variable, Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes.

CROSS-INDUSTRY ANALYSIS OF REGULATORY CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON BUSINESS ADAPTABILITY IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This study carried out a cross-industry analysis of regulatory change management strategies and businesses ability to adapt to regulatory changes across four sectors in Nigeria. By adopting a cross-sectional design, the study focused on financial services, pharmaceuticals/healthcare, energy, and telecommunications sectors. The target population for this study consists of 1,234 management-level staff across four major organizations in Nigeria representing their respective industries: GTBank in finance, Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd in healthcare, Jos Electricity Distribution in energy, and Globacom in telecom. A sample size of 302 respondents was calculated to represent the total population adequately. The study focused on four primary strategies for managing regulatory change: compliance management systems, risk assessment and mitigation, stakeholder engagement and advocacy, and operational flexibility. 302 questionnaires were issued out across the four sectors and organizations under consideration, while 259 questionnaires were retrieved. A general multiple regression analysis revealed that all four variables significantly influence adaptability, with compliance management systems (coefficient = 0.531, p-value = 0.000) and risk assessment and mitigation (coefficient = 0.475, p-value = 0.000) being the strongest predictors. The cross-sector comparative analysis highlights the relative importance of each variable across industries, with compliance management systems consistently ranking highest in most sectors, followed by risk assessment and mitigation, stakeholder engagement and advocacy, and operational flexibility. Stakeholder engagement and advocacy is particularly crucial in the Telecommunications sector, while operational flexibility plays a vital role in the Energy sector. The findings emphasize the need for organizations to adopt strategies that integrate these four key factors for enhanced adaptability. The study also contributes to the literature by offering insights into how these variables interact and affect organizational resilience in different industry contexts. Recommendations include prioritizing compliance initiatives, enhancing risk assessment practices, strengthening stakeholder engagement efforts, and improving operational flexibility across all sectors. The study further suggests that future research should explore the role of sector-specific challenges in shaping organizational adaptability strategies.

The Ionization of Thorium in Hypersonic Flight: Erosion, Plasma Effects, and Radiological Implications
Abstract
Background: Thorium, with its high melting point (3370 K) and neutron economy, emerges as a candidate for thermal protection systems (TPS) in hypersonic re-entry and impurity diagnostics in fusion plasmas. However, its actinide nature poses radiological, erosive, and electromagnetic risks, necessitating rigorous evaluation amid advancing non-LTE and MHD technologies. Purpose: This study assesses thorium's ionization behavior, ablation performance, risk-benefit trade-offs, and plasma sheath impacts to determine viability for hypersonic vehicles and plasma environments. Methods: Collisional-radiative modeling generated ionization fractions across T=2000–15000 K and ne=10¹⁸–10²³ m⁻³. CFD-ABL simulations quantified TPS recession under 2.5–5 MW/m² fluxes. Multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) integrated risk-benefit metrics, while DSMC-FDTD couplings probed MHD efficiency and RF transmission for Th injections (0–30%). Findings: Neutral Th dominates cool edges (f=0.272), shifting to Th⁺ (0.971) in cores and Th²⁺ (0.615) at stagnation, with rates surging 10⁷-fold. TPS ablation escalated to 49M mm recession, 988k kg/m²/s mass loss, and 14.9/10 risk from aerosols (3.95×10¹⁷ Bq/m²). ThO₂ netted -0.286 (thermal 20.7/100 overshadowed by radiological 0.900), favoring ZrC (0.449). Th injection hiked ωp 20–50%, nullified RF transmission (0.0%), boosted MHD η=0.79 (+21%), but cratered stability -28.6%, with severity >0.9 in 80% domains. Conclusion: Thorium's thermal prowess fractures under radiological and blackout perils, rendering it suboptimal for operational deployment despite diagnostic utility. Recommendation: Pivot to ZrC TPS and non-actinide MHD seeding; confine Th to suborbital tests and spectroscopic proxies for 40% risk reduction.

Costing Practices and Profitability Analysis in Bangladesh’s Ready-Made Garments (RMG) Sector
Abstract
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sector—responsible for more than four-fifths of Bangladesh’s export earnings—operates within a fiercely competitive global supply chain where accurate costing is crucial to preserving profitability. Even with export receipts topping US$38 billion in recent years, factories continue to endure margin compression driven by increased pay commitments, heightened compliance requirements, changing raw material prices, and fluctuating logistical costs. This study examines how different costing strategies—from conventional absorption and standard costing techniques to more sophisticated methods like Activity-Based Costing (ABC), Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis, and integrated e-accounting or ERP systems—affect profitability results in RMG companies in Bangladesh. The research evaluates cost-allocation accuracy, overhead visibility, digital adoption, and managerial decision-making behavior by synthesizing insights from industry assessments, sectoral studies, and previous academic work using a qualitative thematic review technique. Evidence from the reviewed literature shows that relying too much on traditional costing models frequently results in poor pricing decisions, erroneous overhead distribution, and distorted order-level profitability. In contrast, factories that use ABC, ERP modules, and digital accounting frameworks offer superior tracking of production costs, enhanced control over wastage and rework, greater pricing precision, and more consistent margins. Nonetheless, adoption of these advanced technologies remains unequal, restricted by skill shortages, perceived implementation hurdles, inconsistent data standards, and organizational reluctance to transition away from established manual methods. Although thorough causation evidence is still lacking, profitability assessments from earlier research indicate that companies utilizing advanced costing systems typically produce greater gross and operational margins as well as improved returns on assets. By integrating these key findings, the report underlines the vital role modern costing approaches play in establishing financial resilience, developing competitive pricing capacity, and enhancing operational efficiency in Bangladesh’s RMG industry. The insights provided provide a platform for practical changes and policy focus aimed at upgrading cost management and boosting long-term profitability across the industry.
