Structural and Chromatic Displacement in Contemporary Tunisian Painting
General Background: Contemporary visual art increasingly explores conceptual transformations that challenge traditional aesthetic structures and visual conventions. Specific Background: Within this context, the concept of displacement, originally rooted in linguistic and stylistic studies, has gradually expanded into visual arts as a method for generating new artistic meanings through deviations in form, color, and structure. Knowledge Gap: Despite the theoretical significance of displacement, limited analytical attention has been given to its aesthetic manifestations within contemporary Tunisian painting. Aims: This study examines the aesthetics of displacement in the artworks of the Tunisian artist Fatima Damq in order to identify how structural and chromatic transformations construct new visual meanings. Results: The analysis of selected artworks demonstrates that displacement emerges through the interaction of color, spatial organization, and compositional vocabulary, creating dialogical visual spaces that encourage multiple interpretive readings. The structural arrangement of shapes and colors produces layered symbolic patterns that move beyond conventional pictorial representation. Novelty: The research provides an analytical framework that interprets displacement as a constructive aesthetic mechanism within contemporary Tunisian visual practice. Implications: These findings contribute to broader discussions in aesthetics and art criticism by highlighting how structural and chromatic transformations can expand interpretive possibilities in contemporary painting.

Gadget Use and Islamic Education Achievement among Elementary School Children
The rapid expansion of digital technology has intensified concerns regarding children’s gadget use and its implications for learning outcomes, particularly in religious education contexts. In elementary education, inappropriate gadget exposure is often associated with declining academic performance, while guided use may offer educational benefits. This study aims to examine the relationship between gadget use and learning achievement in Islamic Religious Education among elementary school children. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 20 elementary school students aged 6–11 years. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring gadget use, academic documentation of learning achievement, parental interviews, and structured observations. Statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson product–moment correlation with the assistance of SPSS. The results reveal a statistically significant and positive relationship between gadget use and Islamic education learning achievement, indicated by a perfect correlation coefficient (r = 1.000, p < 0.05). These findings suggest that gadget use, when regulated and supervised by parents, can support cognitive development and enhance learning outcomes in religious education. The novelty of this study lies in its community-based focus, integrating home supervision, village context, and religious learning achievement rather than school-centered analysis alone. The findings contribute to the growing literature on digital technology in education by highlighting the conditional benefits of gadget use in elementary Islamic education. Practically, the study underscores the importance of parental guidance and balanced digital engagement to optimize educational outcomes, while theoretically reinforcing the role of contextual and social factors in technology-supported learning.

Qori-khona Architecture of the 18th Century as the Naqshbandiya Museum
This study examines the architectural and cultural significance of the 18th-century Qori-khona in Kagan, currently functioning as the Naqshbandiya Museum, within the framework of Islamic educational architecture and Sufi traditions in Central Asia. The research addresses a critical gap in existing scholarship, which has predominantly focused on monumental madrasas and earlier historical periods while overlooking smaller-scale religious-educational structures and their contextual integration within the Naqshbandiya spiritual tradition. The investigation employed a qualitative methodology combining architectural analysis, field documentation, spatial surveys, and critical examination of historical and visual sources to evaluate the building's design principles, spatial organization, and adaptive reuse as a museum facility. Findings reveal that the Qori-khona exemplifies the Bukhara architectural school through its modest peshtaq, inward-oriented courtyard layout, minimalist ornamentation, and compact hujra configuration, all reflecting Naqshbandiya values of spiritual discipline, modesty, and contemplative concentration. The architectural composition demonstrates deliberate restraint in decoration and proportional harmony aligned with Sufi educational practices rather than syncretic or symbolic interpretations previously suggested in literature. The novelty of this research lies in establishing the Qori-khona as a coherent Islamic educational space rooted specifically in 18th-century Sufi architectural conventions, challenging generalized or chronologically imprecise characterizations. These findings contribute theoretical understanding of later-period Sufi architecture in Central Asia and provide practical implications for heritage conservation, demonstrating how adaptive reuse can maintain architectural integrity while extending the educational mission of religious monuments through contemporary museological frameworks.

Decision Tree Analysis for Predicting Voter Participation Using IDM Data
General Background: Voter participation serves as a core indicator of democratic quality and civic awareness. Specific Background: In East Java’s Mataraman region, significant disparities in electoral participation highlight socioeconomic influences measurable through the Village Development Index (IDM). Knowledge Gap: No prior research integrates IDM-based indicators with machine learning methods for voter behavior prediction. Aims: This study develops a classification model using C4.5, Naïve Bayes, and SVM algorithms to predict voter participation based on IDM attributes. Results: The Decision Tree C4.5 algorithm achieved the highest accuracy (80.87%) and F1-score (0.88) compared to Naïve Bayes and SVM, identifying education and healthcare access as primary determinants of high participation. Novelty: The integration of IDM and C4.5 classification introduces a novel framework for data-driven political participation analysis. Implications: The model can assist policymakers and electoral bodies in targeting civic engagement initiatives within underrepresented regions. Highlights: C4.5 algorithm effectively predicts voter engagement. Education and health access influence participation. Data-driven policy enhances democratic quality.
