Abstract
Ibn al-Haytham (d. 1039) is a well known scholar for his contributions in natural and mathematical sciences. The research focuses on his works in sciences and mathematics and only a few studies carry out on his contribution on philosophy due to the lack of the primary sources. The only known surviving Ibn al-Haytham’s work on philosophy is Kitāb Thamarah al-hikmah. However, few studies have examined and explored this work. Based on this work, the present study tries to scrutinize Ibn al-Haytham’s epistemology and focused mainly on his classification of knowledge. The comparative study of Ibn al-Haytham’s classification of knowledge and that of al-Fārābī’s, Ibn Hazm’s, Tūsī’s, and al-Ghāzālī is also carried out. The result shows that Ibn al-Haytham has two mode of classifications: the ontological and epistemological. It is also obvious that Ibn al-Haytham tries to integrate Greek philosophy and sciences within the worldview of Islam. The results of the present study also suggests that the nexus between the concept of classification of knowledge and the concept of perfect man (al-insāan al-tāmm) is obvious.

Angklung is a traditional musical instrument from West Java, Indonesia. To play a song using this instrument can only be played in groups. The size of the musical instrument is quite large and prone to damage if carried anywhere, making it challenging to practice except in schools or music clubs. Since the pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult for students to practice angklung due to the limitations of face-to-face learning. This study aims to make it easier for students to practice and play angklung. The system is based on online multiplayer games so that students can learn and play angklung with more fun, and players can play anywhere. Players can use the mobile version of the angklung application as a substitute for the angklung instrument. Players can perform a duet with other players in playing the same song. The results of the player’s performance will be displayed as scores and stored in the database. Besides that, a real-time feedback function is always displayed for each note played. To distinguish individual players and/or notes, we use vibration sensor technology installed in each mobile application or signal processing, and the system will recognise them properly. We propose a Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) algorithm as a scoring system and realtime-feedback performance. We use class diagrams to describe the whole application system and describe the functionality of the system in detail. We collect some research related to angklung and technology. Currently, there is a little study that could answer all the problems of learning and training angklung. The results of this study in the form of a system design are the initial research stage and are used for the following research phase. In conclusion, the design of this study can solve the existing problems so that the system will make it easier for students to practice and play angklung.
Educational games are currently widely used as supporting media in the teaching and learning process. One of the elementary school subjects that require supporting media is mathematics. In the process of making interactive mathematics educational games for elementary school students, game developers must make a design first. The appropriate design method for this research is the Digital Game-Based Learning-Instructional Design (DGBL-ID) method. The DGBL-ID method is a development method for making educational games that can be adapted to learning materials. The purpose of this research is to help game developers in making mathematical game applications that are adapted to the 2013 curriculum that is currently applied. The focus of this research is on the analysis and design stages contained in the DGBL-ID method. The results of this research are in the form of designing games-based interactive mathematics learning media that can be used as a guide for game developers in making interactive mathematics educational games. With this design, game developers can find out what educational games are needed by users according to the characteristics and objectives of learning mathematics.
The purpose of this study is to design a digital platform design as one solution to solving poverty problems that exist in the community with various causes. Poverty is a complex problem caused by multidimensionality. The cause of poverty is not only a problem of economic inequality but also caused by social problems, education, and lack of access to communicate or communication. The methodology used in this research is Sociotechnical System (STS), STS analysis used six attributes, namely goals, people, buildings/infrastructure, technology, culture, and processes/procedures. This approach (STS) analyzes approaches based on social problems and technical problems. The final results of this study created a digital platform design as a public space to capture community participation in order to care and want to share with poor communities in the form of entrepreneurship training groups (UKM). This technology becomes a tool to help in educating society, not a rival of the community in accordance with the principles of society 5.0.

BANDUNG, UNIKOM – To fill the holy month of Ramadan with activities rich in spiritual values and social compassion, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), through Majelis Ta’lim Ashfiyatunnisa, organized the Ramadan 1447 H Religious Lecture series, combined with the distribution of charity to orphans from three orphanage foundations. The event took place on March 9, 11, and 13, 2026, at the 17th-floor Auditorium of the UNIKOM Smart Building.
In attendance were UNIKOM Rector, Prof. Dr. Ir. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., along with the Vice Rectors and Deans of UNIKOM, accompanied by the Chairperson of the Foundation for Science and Technology and advisor of Majelis Ta’lim Ashfiyatunnisa, Dra. Hj. Ani Astuti, S.E., as well as members of Majelis Ta’lim Ashfiyatunnisa board who played an active role in organizing the religious study session and charity event.
In addition to the regular religious study sessions, the charity event for orphans is part of UNIKOM’s commitment to fostering a spirit of sharing and strengthening religious values within the campus community. The series of activities included religious study sessions, religious lectures, communal prayers, the distribution of charity, and concluded with iftar together in an atmosphere filled with warmth and togetherness.
On the first day, Monday, March 9, 2026, the charity was distributed to children from the Nurani Anak Negeri Foundation, located in Kopo, Bandung City. Next, on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the sharing activities continued with children from Panti Sosial Asuhan Anak (PSAA), located in Sarijadi, Bandung City. Meanwhile, on Friday, March 13, 2026, UNIKOM once again shared with children from the Salamiyah Foundation in Bandung City. In total, 100 children from these three foundations participated in the entire series of Ramadan activities organized by UNIKOM.
UNIKOM Rector, Prof. Eddy, warmly welcomed the children from the orphanages who attended and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to share happiness during Ramadan. Prof. Eddy stated that the event was intended to foster a sense of togetherness while bringing blessings to the entire UNIKOM academic community.
Furthermore, Prof. Eddy stated that the presence of the orphaned children on campus brought a special joy to the UNIKOM family. He hoped that the bonds of friendship formed through this event would continue every Ramadan and benefit all parties involved. According to him, the prayers and the presence of the orphans on campus are expected to bring blessings to UNIKOM, both in this world and in the hereafter.
Vice Rector II for Resources, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Agus Riyanto, S.T., M.T., CSBA., in his remarks, encouraged the children to view the month of Ramadan as an opportunity to improve themselves, enhance discipline, and cultivate a more structured lifestyle through the practice of fasting. He also explained that entering the last ten days of Ramadan is a time of great virtue and an opportunity to further improve the quality of worship.
Dr. Agus added that the Ramadan religious study sessions organized by UNIKOM are intended to become an annual activity. Through these activities, it is expected that a closer bond will be fostered between the UNIKOM academic community and the public, particularly children from orphanages. He also expressed hope that the children present would be motivated to continue their education through college, and perhaps one day pursue their studies at UNIKOM.
During the event held on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the series of religious study sessions began with the recitation of Surah Yasin led by Ahmad Marfu, followed by a religious lecture and prayer delivered by Aenurofiq, S.Ag. The atmosphere of the session was solemn and filled with a sense of family, attended by the orphanage children as well as the UNIKOM academic community.
At the closing event held on Friday, March 13, 2026, in addition to the religious lecture and the distribution of charity, the recitation of Surah Yasin was led by Ustadz M. Zein Fitri, S.Ag., M.Ag., followed by a religious lecture and prayer delivered by Ustadz Dodih Suhardih, S.Ag., M.H.
Through the Ramadan religious lecture session and charity for orphan, UNIKOM not only provides a spiritual space for the academic community but also strengthens the university’s commitment to fostering social responsibility and sharing joy with the community during the holy month of Ramadan. It is hoped that this initiative will continue as a tradition of kindness, bringing benefits and blessings to all involved. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
