Risk and Fairness Analysis of Mudharabah Contracts in Fishing Vessel Financing by Islamic Microfinance Institutions in East Tanjung Jabung
The marine sector in East Tanjung Jabung possesses significant potential but faces high uncertainty regarding catch yields. This study aims to analyze risk management and the implementation of fairness principles in fishing vessel financing using mudharabah contracts at Islamic Microfinance Institutions (LKMS). A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with LKMS officials and partner fishermen, as well as field observations. The results indicate that the primary risks in this financing include market risk (fish price fluctuations), technical risk (vessel damage), and moral hazard in profit-sharing reporting. The implementation of fairness is reflected in the profit-sharing ratio (nisbah) agreed upon at the outset; however, challenges arise during loss sharing, which often burdens one party due to a lack of transparency. Risk mitigation strategies by LKMS include technical assistance and flexible profit-sharing systems, though strengthening supervision remains essential to ensure Sharia compliance and substantive fairness

Analysis of the Use of Pantun and Gurindam as Educational Media for Fiqh Muamalah among the Coastal Malay Community in Terengganu
The Coastal Malay community in Terengganu possesses a strong oral tradition that serves not only as entertainment but also as a vehicle for transmitting religious values. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of pantun and gurindam as educational media for the principles of Fiqh Muamalah, such as the prohibition of riba, honesty in trade, and contractual fairness. Employing a qualitative method with an ethnopedagogical approach, data were collected through textual analysis of local literary manuscripts and interviews with traditional leaders and local economic practitioners in Terengganu. The results indicate that pantun and gurindam are capable of simplifying complex muamalah concepts into easily remembered moral messages (mnemonics) for the general public. Gurindam, with its advisory structure, tends to be used for instilling tawhidic values in economic activities, while pantun serves as a social control in daily transaction practices. This study concludes that integrating local literature into Sharia economic education can enhance culture-based Sharia financial literacy within coastal communities

Evaluating the Effectiveness of the HyFlex Learning Model in Improving Students’ Self-Regulated Learning in Higher Education
HyFlex Learning has emerged as a flexible instructional model that integrates face-to-face, synchronous online, and asynchronous learning pathways. This study investigates the effectiveness of the HyFlex model in enhancing university students’ self-regulated learning (SRL), a critical competence for independent study in higher education. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group, the research involved 120 undergraduate students enrolled in an educational technology course. Students in the experimental group learned through HyFlex modalities, while those in the control group followed traditional blended learning. Data were collected through the Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ), classroom observations, and LMS learning analytics. The findings indicate a significant improvement in SRL components—goal setting, time management, environment structuring, task strategies, and self-evaluation—in the HyFlex group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The HyFlex model was particularly effective in fostering autonomy, flexibility, and metacognitive control over learning tasks. The study concludes that HyFlex Learning is a promising approach for supporting independent learning in higher education, especially in contexts requiring personalized learning pathways.
