The specificity of law enforcement in competitive swimming from the perspective of Indonesia’s national legal system

Barru Aliyyu Nissa Ismanto — 2026-02-02

This article discusses the specificity of law enforcement in swimming from the perspective of Indonesia's national legal system. This study focuses on the applicability of international sports organization regulations as normative standards in the implementation of competitive sports, particularly based on Law No. 11 of 2022 on Sports. This study uses a normative legal research method with regulatory and conceptual approaches to the problem. The results of the study show that the enforcement of swimming law has specific characteristics that originate from lex sportiva, a private normative system that is recognized to a limited extent by national laws. The application of the core regulations of international sports organizations is a legal requirement for recognizing an activity as competitive. If these regulations are not applied in their entirety and consistently, championships or sports weeks cannot be classified as competitive sports within the framework of the national law. This study confirms that the recognition of lex sportiva is conditional and remains within the limits of the constitutional principles and the protection of human rights.

Beyond philanthropy: Modelling zakat’s systemic role in circular economic practices and sustainable finance

Muhammad Putra Aprullah — 2026-02-03

This study systematically examines the role of zakat in promoting sustainable finance and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study identifies, analyzes, and synthesizes various empirical studies and national data related to zakat’s contribution to economic, social, and environmental development. Zakat, as an Islamic social finance instrument, has great potential in strengthening the inclusive financial ecosystem and supporting community welfare. The literature review shows that zakat plays a significant role not only as a financial instrument for redistributing prosperity but also as a catalyst for sustainable development through environmental conservation, economic empowerment, enhanced social resilience, and increased financial inclusion. The integration of zakat into the sustainable finance policy framework has been proven to support the achievement of several SDGs, particularly the goals of poverty eradication (SDG 1), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and inequality reduction (SDG 10). Therefore, zakat’s potential can be optimized through good governance, digital innovation, and cross-sector collaboration is a strategic key to accelerate the realization of sustainable finance and achieve the SDGs in Indonesia

Connection fiscal decentralization and poverty in South Sulawesi: Analysis of the 2004–2024 period

Ihsan Ashari — 2026-02-03

This study highlights both direct and indirect linkages mediated by economic growth, as it investigates the effects of fiscal decentralization on poverty levels in South Sulawesi Province between 2004 and 2024. The General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), and Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) are the four main fiscal mechanisms that are the focus of this study. Using route analysis with time-series data in SPSS, this study reveals several important findings. Poverty levels are significantly negatively impacted by economic growth. As a mediating variable, DAU shows a strong positive relationship with poverty, but DAK and PAD show notable negative relationships. DBH, on the other hand, does not demonstrate a noteworthy indirect impact on poverty via the conduit of economic expansion. The findings suggest that the efficacy of fiscal decentralization in alleviating poverty varies among different fiscal instruments, with DAK and PAD yielding the most beneficial results when implemented in programs that foster economic growth. These insights provide critical guidance for policymakers aiming to enhance the effectiveness of fiscal decentralization strategies in combating poverty in South Sulawesi Province.

In addition, the machine is easy to operate and maintain, making it suitable for application in small- and medium-sized businesses. The conclusion of this study is that the designed snack seasoning mixer has good performance, is capable of improving production quality and efficiency, and has the potential to be further developed to increase its capacity and durability.

Hudud by the Taliban in Afghanistan and the relevance of Muhammad Syahrur's thought

Desthia Irsa Savitri — 2026-02-04

This study is motivated by the continuing debate over the hudud in the modern era and its practical implications. It examines how the Taliban have applied hudud punishments in Afghanistan and assesses the relevance of Muhammad Syahrur’s contemporary legal thought on hudud punishments. Using a qualitative library-research approach, data were collected from books, scholarly literature, and relevant reports and then analyzed using content analysis and inductive reasoning. The findings indicate that during the Taliban's rule, the implementation of hudud tends to be harsher, more rigid, and more repressive, often raising concerns regarding due process and human rights. Both the Taliban's approach and Syahrur's discussion derive from the Qur'an and Hadith; however, Syahrur's theory of limits (nazariyyat al-hudud) frames divine law as having minimum and maximum boundaries, allowing space for contextual ijtihad that weighs public benefit (maslahah) in line with changing social realities while remaining within God's limits (sunnatullah).

Analysis of rebranding strategies in companies experiencing crisis

Anindya Putri Utami — 2026-02-04

This study aims to analyze the impact of rebranding strategies on brand image and company performance in organizations facing crises. In a dynamic and competitive business environment, rebranding is understood as a strategic transformation process that goes beyond changes in logos or brand names and encompasses the renewal of the company’s vision, mission, values, and brand communication. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method targeting consumers aware of the company’s rebranding process after the crisis. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with data collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The results indicate that rebranding strategies positively and significantly affect company performance. Brand image plays a dominant role in strengthening positive consumer perceptions and enhancing loyalty and trust in the company. The findings also suggest that consistent, honest, and transparent brand communication is a key factor in the success of rebranding initiatives in the hospitality industry. Holistic rebranding accompanied by internal reforms can restore corporate reputation and improve business performance in the post-crisis period. This study contributes theoretically to the development of marketing management literature and serves as a practical reference for companies in designing effective rebranding strategies for image recovery and performance enhancement.

Development of a Break-Even Analysis (BEA) model for setting the selling price of marine product MSMEs

Vina Olivia Pebrianty — 2026-02-04

This study aims to develop an applicative Break-Even Analysis (BEA) model to support pricing decisions for seafood processing MSMEs in Kendari City. Most MSMEs in this sector still set selling prices intuitively due to a limited understanding of cost accounting and incomplete financial records. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a field study design, using questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation to collect data from MSMEs that met the research criteria. The BEA model was developed based on fixed costs, variable costs, production volume, and selling price. The results indicate that the BEA model is easy to apply, suitable for MSMEs with simple bookkeeping practices, and capable of generating accurate break-even points and minimum selling price calculations. After applying the model, MSME owners demonstrated an improved understanding of cost structures and were able to determine selling prices and profit margins more rationally. These findings confirm that BEA enhances cost awareness and supports more efficient decision-making. Overall, this study provides a practical managerial tool that can be utilized by MSMEs, local government agencies, and academic institutions to strengthen financial literacy and pricing strategies in the seafood-processing sector.

Resilience in education policy: Insights from Indonesia’s school reopening amid COVID-19

Afrizal Fajri — 2026-02-05

The COVID-19 pandemic has really left an impacted education, stimulating policymakers to introduce emergency remote learning. However, transitioning to online education has exposed huge problems in Indonesia, particularly inequalities in digital access, insufficient learning support, and mounting household costs. Finally, with many public outcries for schools to be reopened, the phased reopening policy was implemented through the SKB 4 Menteri decree. This study is hence concerned with an evaluation of the implementation and effect of school reopening policies that were put in place in Indonesia during the pandemic. The logical framework approach is used to assess inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. The conclusion is that the reopening of schools addresses the learning loss incurred by the students; however, these K-12 institutions do not have sufficient health infrastructure and there are poor enforcement protocols that altogether made these schools hotspot areas for the emergence of COVID clusters. However, decisions made at the policy level were reactive rather than evidence-based, portraying a gap in crisis preparedness and risk mitigation. The need to make adaptive education policies based on the lessons learned as described in this experience should be emphasized to realize the balance of learning continuity with public health priorities, strong engagement needed in terms of stakeholders, and decision-making that is based on data. The future needs of educational resilience will require strengthened digital infrastructures, hybrid learning models, and crisis-responsive governance in education.

The effect of product quality, price, and distribution on customer satisfaction with korigengi products on Tokopedia

I Gede Fery Surya Tapa — 2026-02-05

The expansion of digital commerce in Indonesia has reshaped the way local creative brands compete in online marketplaces. Although platforms such as Tokopedia enable sellers to reach a wider audience, maintaining customer satisfaction has become increasingly challenging due to market saturation. KORIGENGI is a local brand specializing in otaku-themed merchandise that operates through Tokopedia, yet its competitive position remains weaker than that of several rival stores. This study aims to analyze how product quality, price perception, and distribution performance influence customer satisfaction with KORIGENGI products on Tokopedia. This research applies a quantitative approach using survey data collected from customers who have previously purchased KORIGENGI products. Structured questionnaires were distributed online and measured using a Likert scale. The collected data were examined through instrument testing, classical assumption testing, and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that product quality, price, and distribution exert positive and statistically significant effects on customer satisfaction. When examined simultaneously, these variables collectively explain the variations in customer satisfaction. Product quality was the most influential factor, followed by price and distribution. The results highlight the importance of delivering high-quality products, applying appropriate pricing strategies, and ensuring reliable distribution processes to enhance customer satisfaction in competitive e-commerce environments.

Empirical analysis of the impact of monetary policy through interest rates on economic growth in Indonesia

Muh. Qardawi Hamzah — 2026-02-05

This study investigates how inflation and monetary policy, as reflected in the policy interest rate (BI Rate), affect Indonesia's economic growth, as indicated by the GDP. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to discover connections between independent and dependent variables in an economic setting. The analysis's findings indicate that neither the BI Rate nor inflation significantly affects GDP growth. Although not sufficiently strong to be regarded as statistically significant, the positive coefficients derived from both variables show a propensity for increases in inflation and policy interest rates to enhance economic growth. The significance of the interaction between the two variables in monetary policy is confirmed by simultaneous analysis, which reveals that both inflation and the BI Rate significantly contribute to GDP variance when examined together. These results suggest that monetary policy must work in tandem with fiscal policy and the real sector, as well as be adaptively managed to respond to changes in the global economy to effectively stimulate economic growth in Indonesia [2]. This study is anticipated to significantly aid policymakers in developing more potent plans to accomplish sustainable growth and national economic stability.

Estimation of lateritic nickel resources using the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method at PT Five Star Indonesia, Petasia District, Central Sulawesi Province

Stephen Stephen — 2026-02-06

This study aims to estimate lateritic nickel resources in the Western Block of PT Five Star Indonesia and to map the spatial distribution of Ni and Fe grades to support technical decision-making. The analysis uses drillhole data with an approximate 25 m spacing. Laterite intervals are grouped into low-grade (LGO), medium-grade (MGO), and high-grade (HGO) zones based on Ni content, and a 3D block model is constructed with a 2×2×2 m block size. Grade estimation is performed using the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method to generate grade and volume models. Tonnage is calculated using a bulk density of 1.6 t/m³. The resource estimation results indicate a total of 3,334,400 tonnes with average grades of 1.41% Ni and 33.59% Fe, classified as Measured Resources. Spatially, the HGO zone tends to extend toward the southeast, whereas LGO and MGO are more widely distributed in other parts of the block, highlighting grade variability across zones that is visible in cross-sections and interpolation outputs. These findings confirm laterite heterogeneity, which should be managed through grade control and more selective mining boundary definition. In addition to quantitative estimates, this study provides contour maps and sections illustrating grade changes across the block, enabling the identification of priority areas. Model outputs are evaluated by checking consistency between estimated grades and nearby drillhole data and by reviewing the continuity of grade zones along strike and dip directions. This approach helps flag uncertainty early for field verification and model updates during the initial mine planning and feasibility stages. The results provide an initial input for pit design, production scheduling, and selective-mining strategies. Further work is recommended to conduct infill drilling and compare IDW with geostatistical kriging to improve estimation robustness.

The huge potential of Regional Owned Enterprises (BUMD) in the education sector: Exploring opportunities for local economic and fiscal diversification

Alif Al Mahdi — 2026-02-06

This study seeks to determine the extent of the potential of Regionally-Owned Enterprises (BUMD) to conduct business in the education sector. This can strengthen regional finances and, through collaboration with the private sector, improve the quality of human resources. BUMD is recommended to increase regional income by running a variety of educational businesses, such as course institutions, vocational skills schools, or as developers of online learning applications, which are the objectives of this study. Based on research in Sentral, the conditions of budget efficiency carried out by several government institutions running BUMD in the education sector present a new opportunity for local governments, provided that it is carried out professionally, transparently, and with high accountability. This study, as mentioned above, uses the concept of public private partnerships as a tool to present the results and discussions in the study. Simply put, public-private partnerships in dis BUMD projects can reduce the burden of initial capital and exchange information. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method accompanied by a case study approach.

Tracing the cultural heritage of Mahakam Ulu: Towards a strategy for cultural advancement

Emilda Kuspraningrum — 2026-02-06

This study aims to explore the potential, challenges, and efforts that can be undertaken to advance the culture of Mahakam Ulu Regency, East Kalimantan. The regency possesses a diverse cultural heritage, particularly from the Dayak community and its various subgroups, which is reflected in cultural advancement objects such as oral traditions, manuscripts, rites, traditional knowledge, local technology, arts, language, folk games, traditional sports, and cultural heritage sites. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through document analysis, involving an examination of various written sources, including government documents, and academic publications. The findings indicate that strategies to preserve the cultural diversity of Mahakam Ulu must be implemented comprehensively and collaboratively, especially amid the influences of modernization, the lack of cultural practitioner regeneration, and limited human resources and preservation funds. Efforts to advance culture have been carried out through protection, development, utilization, and fostering, integrated into local tourism development

Qur'ani literacy of talaq verses and reference as an effort to increase legal awareness

Dodi Alpiyendra — 2026-02-09

This research is based on the widespread practice of divorce and reconciliation that are not in accordance with the provisions of sharia and positive law, such as divorce outside the court, reconciliation without registration, and ignorance of the iddah period and women's rights, which reflect the weak Qur'anic literacy of family law verses, especially QS. al-Baqarah 229–232 and QS. at-Talaq 1–2. This library research examines tafsir books, works of classical and contemporary scholars, laws and regulations, as well as journal articles, national books, and empirical studies with an analytical-descriptive approach to interpret the meaning of the verses and their relevance to modern legal practice in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that Qur'anic literacy plays a significant role in increasing legal awareness in Muslim society, encouraging compliance with court procedures, the importance of official registration, avoiding emotional divorce, and strengthening household ethics to prevent the abuse of divorce and minimize post-separation conflict. The integration of Qur'anic literacy with modern legal literacy ultimately forms a family law culture that is orderly, fair, and in harmony with maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. Thus, strengthening Qur'anic literacy becomes a strategic step in fostering obedience to the rules regarding divorce and reconciliation.

Qur'anic legal literacy on the principle of shul (Islah) in family dispute resolution

Aprinelita Aprinelita — 2026-02-09

Family disputes arise when there is a conflict or incompatibility between parties. In this sense, a problem can be interpreted as a situation in which the parties experience pros and cons or incompatibility with the agreement made between them. This is still related to the status of humans as social beings. The existence of disputes between humans inspires the birth of the desire to resolve the conflict/dispute that occurs between them. In dispute resolution, Islam places great emphasis on peace to anyone who is in conflict, and the settlement of disputes arises more from the wishes and initiatives of the parties to the dispute, so that mediators play a petrified role in reaching agreements. In Islamic law, the mediation procedure used to resolve family disputes is called al-sulh, which means to settle, involving a hakam. The processes and facts of society are different. The mediation stage is not necessary if the couple can resolve conflicts within their families. In such situations, they can only resolve the issue with the agreement they made before, and there is no further process. However, when conflicts cannot be resolved simultaneously, families require a trusted family mediator or judge. Therefore, certain stages in this mediation process are necessary to reach an agreement between the two parties. First, each party to the conflict must be willing to present its grievances to the mediator. The second process is peace carried out by third parties. A third party does this by identifying the root cause of the conflict. The third process begins when the midpoint is determined. This process requires the approval of each family that has problems with the solution offered by a mediator. The fourth or an advanced process can be initiated. The mediator in the community is usually a religious figure or community leader, such as a kyai, a hamlet head, or maybe even a hakam, or a trusted family member.

The effectiveness of religious character building for Karangdukuh Elementary School students by making them habit of reading Asmaul Husna

Dhian Riskiana Putri — 2026-02-09

This study aims to determine the effect of developing the religious character of students at Karangdukuh Elementary School through the habitual recitation of the Asmaul Husna (The Beautiful Names of Allah). Asmaul Husna is a phrase containing good and noble qualities. The recitation of Asmaul Husna is performed every morning before the start of teaching and learning activities in the school. This activity aims to instill the good qualities of Asmaul Husna in students' personalities. This program of habitual daily recitation of Asmaul Husna is expected to foster good qualities in students, as embodied in the content of the Asmaul Husna. This study used a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods. There were three respondents in this study. Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews. This study shows that the habitual recitation of Asmaul Husna before teaching and learning activities can improve students' religious character. This improvement in religious character is evident in students' habits of being more polite, respectful of teachers, diligent in prayer, loving, and maintaining cleanliness.

Integration of financial feasibility analysis and performance index in medium-scale semi-closed house broiler chicken businesses

Hana Nur Eritrina — 2026-02-09

The development of semi-closed housing systems has become an alternative transition between open and fully closed housing in medium-scale broiler chicken production. However, empirical studies integrating technical performance and financial feasibility of this system are still limited. This study aims to analyse the feasibility of broiler chicken farming using the semi-closed house system through an integrated approach between financial analysis and Performance Index (PI) in one production period. The study was conducted at the Lancar Jaya Farm in Malang Regency, with a population of 6,900 broiler chickens. Quantitative data, including fixed costs, variable costs, revenue, and production performance parameters, were analyzed descriptively using profit indicators, the R/C ratio, BEP, and PI. The results showed that the business generated a profit of IDR 27,178,137 per production period, with an R/C ratio of 1.1 and a PI of 359, which are above the national standard. These findings indicate that the semi-closed house system is capable of achieving efficient technical and financial performance on medium-scale farms. This study provides empirical contributions as a reference for farmers’ decision-making in optimizing broiler chicken housing systems and production management.

Disparity in judicial decisions in cases of violence against unregistered wives

Muhammad Rezfah Omar — 2026-02-10

Domestic violence can affect anyone; however, wives remain particularly vulnerable to abuse by their husbands. Although Article 2(1)(a) of Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence includes husbands, wives, and children within the scope of a household, not all acts of violence against wives are prosecuted under this law. Many legal practitioners still adhere strictly to Article 2 of the 1974 Marriage Law, which considers a marriage valid only if it is conducted according to religious norms and officially registered. This results in perpetrators of violence against unregistered wives being prosecuted under general assault provisions in the Criminal Code rather than under the Domestic Violence Law. This divergence leads to disparities in judicial decisions, arising from differing interpretations of applicable legal provisions, varied judicial reasoning, and the ambiguous legal status of unregistered marriages, complicating consistent legal application. Consequently, similar cases of violence in unregistered marriages can produce inconsistent or even contradictory court rulings. This study highlights several decisions in which courts have applied the Domestic Violence Law to cases involving unregistered wives, with judges determining that the requirement of being within a "household scope" was fulfilled because the parties were married according to religious or customary norms and lived together as husband and wife. This research underscores the importance of recognizing unregistered wives within the household scope, as excluding them results in the denial of essential rights and protections afforded to victims of domestic violence, including access to legal assistance, health services, shelters, and other forms of support.

The effectiveness of the writing clinic program in improving compliance with scientific articles and methodological standards

Dodi Alpiyendra — 2026-02-10

This study examines the journal writing clinic as a strategic approach to increase the academic capacity of the university community to produce scientific articles in accordance with national publication standards. Using qualitative descriptive methods through literature studies, observation of clinical activities, and analysis of training and mentoring documents, this study explains the basic concepts, implementation process, optimization strategies, and effectiveness of writing clinics in supporting the productivity of scientific publications of the participants. The results of the study show that the writing clinic functions as a systematic, directed, and collaborative guidance space, which provides technical assistance related to article structure, research methodology, journal style of cheating, as well as strengthening scientific argumentation, reference quality, and understanding publication ethics. Optimization strategies in the form of intensive workshops, individual mentoring, peer review, and gradual evaluation have been proven to improve the quality of participants' writing, while the success of the program is greatly influenced by the competence of the facilitators, the availability of literature, and the commitment of participants. Overall, journal writing clinics have proven to be effective instruments for academic development and have important implications for universities in designing sustainable mentoring models to improve the quality and quantity of scientific publications in Indonesia.

The conceptual evolution of Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah: A historical study of the transformation of major principles in Islamic thought

Firmansyah Firmansyah — 2026-02-10

This study examines the conceptual evolution of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah by tracing the transformation of its main principles in the historical trajectory of Islamic thought. The main problem raised is the lack of comprehensive integration of historical analysis in tracing changes in the epistemological and methodological structure of maqasid from the classical to contemporary eras. The problem in this study is the approach of Maqashid with Hikmah, 'Illat, then its urgency and history. The purpose of this study is to find out the history and development of maqashid. The method used is qualitative research based on literature studies, with a historical-philosophical approach that examines the works of classical scholars. The conclusion of this study is that the relationship between wisdom, 'illat and maqashid is to solve the benefits of sharia law in the matter of ijtihad, then the urgency of maqashid is to maintain religion, soul, intellect, descendants, property, and honor. The history of its development has been carried out by the ijtihad of the prophet Muhammad PBUH and there have been phases of ups and downs.

Sayyid Sabiq's thoughts on Thalak in the book Fiqh Assunnah

Joseph Antoni — 2026-02-11

This study aims to analyze a place of thought from Sayyid Sabiq's shop about thalak as contained in a poplar work of Fiqh As-Sunnah. This study focuses on his views on the facts, conditions, forms, and wisdom of a thalak from the perspective of Islamic fiqh. Thus, this larya imiah uses a qualitative approach, namely, library research on primary sources of Fiqh As-Sunnah by Sayyid Sabiq, as well as secondary sources from classical fiqh books and contemporary Islamic law literature. The results of the study show that Sayyid Sabiq understood thalak not as a means to oppress women, but as the last way out (the shari'i emergency way) when the goal of marriage can no longer be achieved. He emphasized that thalak must be pursued with full responsibility, based on the principle of justice. In his view, the law of thalak is mubah, but it becomes makruh if it is done without a good reason. Sayyid Sabiq's thinking shows a strong relevance to the context of Islamic family law in moderation, as it provides a balance between the right of men and women to impose thalak and women's right to self-justice. This research contributes to the development of more rational Islamic family law, to the benefits of sharia.

The influence of music genre on concentration during the stroop color and word test among psychology students of Al Azhar University Indonesia

Ahmad Muhlis Habibi — 2026-02-11

Concentration is a crucial cognitive skill that enables individuals to maintain attention, process information effectively, and perform optionally on academic or psychological tasks. One environmental factor that can influence concentration is music, particularly its genre and tempo. Different genres of music elicit varying emotional and physiological responses, which may either enhance or disrupt focus. This study aims to examine the influence of music genres specifically EDM music, Jazz music, and a no-music condition on students’ concentration levels during the Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) among psychology students of Al Azhar University Indonesia. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with three groups: (1) an EDM music group featuring fast beats and high energy a music group characterized by moderate tempo and relaxing rhythm, (2) a Jazz music group characterized by moderate tempo and relaxing rhythm, and (3) a control group that performed the test in silence. Participants were 30 students from grade 11, divided equally across the three conditions. Data collected from the SCWT will be analyzed using One-Way ANOVA to determine whether there are significant differences in concentration among the groups. It is hypothesized that students exposed to jazz music will demonstrate higher levels of concentration compared to those exposed to EDM music, due to the calming and structured nature of jazz that supports attentional stability. In contrast, EDM music, characterized by rapid tempo and high arousal, is expected to reduce focus due to overstimulation. The control group, tested in silence, is predicted to show moderate concentration levels between the two experimental conditions. This study is expected to provide empirical evidence on how different music genres can influence students’ cognitive performance and contribute to educational strategies that support optimal learning environments.

Divorce law in the perspective of the Quran: Solutions to the phenomenon of digital divorce and social media normative study of the principles of Ihsan and Taqwa in the contemporary talak process

Joseph Antoni — 2026-02-11

The phenomenon of divorce in the digital age shows a rapid increase, especially due to the involvement of social media in the family life period which is the main trigger. Divorce that used to only occur through formal legal mechanisms now often appears in the form of a digital divorce or through a social media liaison procedure such as talaq statements through text messages, uploads on social media, or online or online communication. In this context, the Qur'an remains the main source in leading Muslims to understand the nature of a divorce, not just as a breakdown of a relationship, but as a spiritual process based on the values of ihsan and piousness. This study aims to examine the law of divorce according to the Qur'an, focusing on the values of ihsan and piety as a moral solution to a major phenomenon of divorce in the digital era. This study uses a normative approach with a thematic interpretation analysis method (maudhu'i) on divorce verses in the Qur'an, such as QS. Al-Baqarah: 229–232 and QS. At-Talaq: 1-7.

Financial system transformation and growth strategy: A case study of inartgrity's sustainable expansion preparation

Anchilia Alexandra — 2026-02-12

INARTGRITY, an education center based in Kelapa Gading, Jakarta, Indonesia, is nearing full capacity and plans to expand by opening a second branch in the near future. This study evaluates company readiness, project feasibility, and strategic recommendations for long-term sustainability, supported by risk management, and an implementation plan. Readiness is assessed using the RBV, VRIO, and financial ratio analyses. The expansion is modelled under two alternatives: buying or renting a commercial house. The buy option requires an initial investment of IDR 5,185,000,000 with a 12,52% discount rate over a 10 years horizon, while the rent option requires IDR 985,000,000 with an 11,57% discount rate over 5 years. Discounted cash flow analysis is used to compute NPV, PBP, IRR, PI, and ANPV, complemented by sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation to identify key drivers and the probability distribution of the NPV. The buy option yields NPV IDR 3,571,624,197, IRR 21,34%, PI 1,36, PBP 7 years 10 months, and ANPV IDR 645,679,440. The rent option yields NPV IDR 1,743,809,195, IRR 44,75%, PI 2,77, PBP 3 years 2 months, and ANPV IDR 478,293,264. Although buying provides a higher ANPV, renting is recommended because it offers a much higher IRR and PI, faster payback, lower initial capital, and remains robust under sensitivity and simulation, with approximately 99% probability of a positive NPV.

Women's justice and protection in family law: A normative examination of the principles of the qur'an answers the accusation of patriarchal bias

Rully Hevrialni — 2026-02-12

This study is motivated by the growing accusation that Islamic family law is inherently patriarchal and fails to protect women adequately. Such criticisms arise from the gap between Qur'anic principles of justice and socio-cultural practices, as well as traditional interpretations shaped by patriarchal structures. In response to this issue, this study aims to re-examine the principles of justice and women's protection in the Qur'an using a normative approach combined with Qur'anic feminist perspectives. The central question addressed is whether the Qur'anic text itself supports patriarchy or whether patriarchal tendencies originate from historical interpretations and cultural practices surrounding the text. This research employs a qualitative method using library research and thematic content analysis (maudhu'i). The primary data consisted of Qur'anic verses related to gender relations, marriage, divorce, and family responsibilities, while the secondary data included classical and contemporary tafsir literature as well as feminist Islamic scholarship. The analysis focuses on identifying patterns of meaning, moral objectives (maqāṣid), and substantive justice embedded within the Qur'anic discourse. The findings reveal that the Qur'an is inherently anti-patriarchal and strongly upholds principles of justice, reciprocity, and the protection of women's dignity. Verses such as Qur'an 4:1, 4:19, 2:231, and 9:71 emphasize women's spiritual, social, and economic rights. The study concludes that patriarchal bias does not originate from the Qur'anic text itself but from socio-historical interpretations shaped by patriarchal contexts. Therefore, reconstructing Islamic family law based on maqāṣid al-Qur'an is essential for developing a more just, humane, and gender-responsive model of family relations aligned with the Qur ‘an’s ethical spirit.

Islamic literacy as a preventive effort against domestic violence: Analysis of the meaning of wadhribuhunna in An-Nisa' verse 34

Thamrin Thamrin — 2026-02-12

Cases of Domestic Violence (KDRT) against women have increased significantly, both physically and psychologically. In this context, Surah An-Nisa' verse 34 provides gradual guidelines for dealing with nusyuz, including moral warnings that are often translated literally as "pukullah" (wadhribuhunna). This study aims to analyze the meaning of wadhribuhunna through a review of classical to contemporary scholars, sort out the meaning based on the rules of fiqh choosing a lighter mudharat, and apply it in modern household life with a theoretical approach of Symbolic Interaction. The results of the analysis show that the most strict mufasir groups, such as Al-Biqa'i, Wahbah al-Zuhaili, Hamka, Rashid Riḍā, and M. Quraish Shihab, emphasize symbolic and educational understanding of the word "hit", so that the risk of physical and psychological harm can be minimized. The application of this symbolic meaning is in harmony with the principle of benefit, encourages healthy communication, and strengthens household harmony. The Symbolic Interactionism approach emphasizes that the meaning of the verse is formed through social interaction, individual reflection, and negotiation of moral values, so that symbolic interpretation becomes an effective preventive strategy against domestic violence.

Exploring the antecedents of coretax usage in tention: Evidence from perceptions of convenience, usefulness, and risk

Angelita Palullungan — 2026-02-13

In the digital era, advances in information technology have prompted the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) to reform the tax system through the Coretax Administration System, which will be launched in early 2025. This study aims to quantitatively analyze how perceived usefulness, perceived ease, and perceived risk influence taxpayers' intentions to use Coretax using a model-based approach, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 respondents registered at the South Makassar Tax Office and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results of this study showed that the three independent variables of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk had a positive and significant effect on the use of Coretax

The marketing strategy of grouper fish in increasing fishermen’s income in North Buton, Indonesia

Nurul Ittaqullah — 2026-02-13

This study examines how marketing strategy can enhance the income of small-scale grouper fishermen (Epinephelus spp.) in North Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, where high market demand for premium marine products has not been matched by proportional income gains at the producer level. Despite the increasing domestic and export demand for grouper fish, fishermen in coastal regions remain constrained by traditional marketing channels, limited bargaining power, and rising operational costs. Using a descriptive mixed-methods approach, this study analyzes primary data collected from 15 purposively selected grouper fishermen in Kulisusu District, complemented by secondary data from official statistics and peer-reviewed literature. Fishermen’s income was assessed through cost–revenue analysis, and strategic priorities were formulated using an integrated SWOT framework, internal–External Factor Evaluation (IFE–EFE), and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The results show that the average net income of grouper fishermen is IDR 1,390,000 per month, indicating income vulnerability despite strong market demand. The SWOT and IE matrix results position the business in a “grow and build” quadrant, suggesting the feasibility of intensive strategies. QSPM analysis identified market penetration through increased catch efficiency while maintaining product freshness and quality as the most attractive strategy. This study contributes empirical evidence on small-scale fishery marketing strategies and provides practical insights for income improvement and sustainable coastal fishery development in eastern Indonesia.

The role of the family in facilitating innovation and change: Family communication in forming the identity of the alpha generation

Rismayanti Rismayanti — 2026-02-13

The digital era creates a complex environment for Generation Alpha, immersed in technology from birth. This study aims to investigate how families, through communication patterns, facilitate innovation and healthy identity formation amidst the pressures of digital culture. Using a qualitative approach with a multi-family case study design with six subjects, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of communication artifacts. The results show that democratic and participatory communication patterns are significantly correlated with children's innovative capacity. Families that adopt a concept-oriented approach, emphasizing the exchange of ideas and the appreciation of differing opinions, are able to produce individuals with greater cognitive flexibility and resilience. Key findings identify psychological safety as a crucial mediator, enabling families to function as "identity laboratories" where children experiment with digital personas before consolidating authentic identities. The study concludes that transforming parents' roles into digital mentors is crucial for bridging the generation gap through active mediation. By integrating family values and digital influences, children can become thoughtful innovators and responsible digital citizens.

A. Rahmatia — 2026-02-13

This study aims to analyze and explain digital attendance innovation in enforcing employee work discipline, along with the supporting and inhibiting factors that influence its implementation. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to gain an in-depth understanding of how digital attendance functions within an organizational setting. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, allowing the researcher to capture the real conditions and employee experiences. The data analysis process followed the stages of data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing to ensure systematic and comprehensive interpretation. The findings show that the digital attendance innovation at the Makassar City Education Office is effective when evaluated using an innovation model approach. In terms of relative advantage, the system saves employees’ time in recording attendance and reduces the inefficiencies found in manual systems. Regarding suitability, the system aligns well with organizational needs in promoting discipline, although employee discipline is also influenced by other factors, such as work culture and supervision. From the perspective of complexity, several technical challenges were identified, particularly during power outages, which prevented the attendance machine from operating properly. In terms of trialability, employees can operate the system easily because of its practical design and simple procedures. Finally, in terms of observability, digital attendance enables supervisors and operators to monitor attendance data transparently and detect potential fraud, such as employees attempting to entrust attendance to others. Overall, digital attendance serves as an important tool for strengthening employee work discipline.

Centering gender in sustainable palm oil of Indonesia: A systematic literature review

Muh Fardan Ngoyo — 2026-02-16

As a major agricultural commodity in Indonesia, palm oil plays a significant role in economic development, especially in rural livelihood and poverty reduction. However, the current dynamics of palm oil expansion have attracted global attention toward social responsibility and environmental degradation, including gendered impacts that remain underexplored in sustainability narratives. This systematic review examines the incorporation of gender analysis in studies on sustainable palm oil in Indonesia, focusing on conceptual frameworks, methodological approaches, and policy implications. Bibliometric data were retrieved through Publish or Perish (PoP), collecting relevant literature from Scopus and Google Scholar from 2010-2025, complemented by keyword search strings in English and Bahasa Indonesia. For clustering and data visualization, this study employed VoSviewer to visualize and analyze keyword associations, trends, and thematic clusters. Preliminary findings indicate that while the sustainability literature on palm oil is extensive, gender-related studies are limited and often fragmented, with conceptualizations of gender varying from labor to land rights and participation. This study finds a cluster of publications focusing on the solid grounding of a feminist lens, while others pay more attention to gender roles, lived experience, and policy and practices at the regulation level. This review highlights critical gaps in integrating gender perspectives into sustainability initiatives and calls for more nuanced, intersectional approaches to ensure equitable outcomes in the palm oil sector. By synthesizing existing evidence, this study provides insights into strengthening gender-responsive sustainability strategies in Indonesia’s palm oil sector.

Holistic classical interpretation in the relationship between satan and false God : Analysis of the rules of interpretation

Hanna Jenifer Agustin — 2026-02-16

This research can examine the overall interpretation of classical Islamic interpretation regarding the complex relationship between Satan and false Gods using analysis based on Qawaid Tarjih principles. Classical Islamic interpretation can be known as a deeper understanding of Islam which is used to study the complex interactions between these creatures. Through the application of Qawaid Tarjih, this researcher reveals the principles of Dasara which will guide interpretation and can provide an understanding of the criteria used by scholars to differentiate between Satan and false God. This finding not only highlights the dichotomy between truth and falsehood to show the usefulness of Qawaid Tarjih as a tool of differentiation, for this reason researchers can explore the broader impact of a holistic understanding of the Islamic community's perception of Satan and false gods which provides insight into its impact on everyday life with provides insight into the teachings of the Islamic religion

Environmental concern as a green stimulus: An S-O-R approach to sustainable fashion purchase intention in Indonesia

Fatullah Razi — 2026-02-16

Despite the increasing global awareness, sustainable fashion consumption remains inconsistent. This study applies the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model to examine the process through which environmental concern acts as a green stimulus influencing consumers’ internal psychological activation and purchase intention. Using data from Indonesian consumers analyzed through structural equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM), incorporating 5,000 bootstrap resamples, the findings indicate that environmental concern has a statistically significant positive effect on purchase intention (β = 0.738; t = 18.756; p < 0.001; R² = 0.545; f² = 1.196; SRMR = 0.067). All reliability and validity criteria were met (α > 0.80, CR > 0.85, and AVE > 0.56). The findings confirm that environmental concerns function as psychological and emotional stimuli that shape sustainable purchase behavior. This study broadens the application of the S-O-R framework in sustainability research and offers practical guidance for eco-fashion marketers to design emotionally engaging green messages targeting emerging market consumers.

The effect of digital literacy on women’s intentions to report gender-based violence among womenspirasi summit participants

Mujahidah Afifah — 2026-02-16

This study examines the effect of digital literacy on women’s intentions to report gender-based violence among participants of the Womenspirasi Summit. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through an online survey distributed to 212 female participants selected using purposive sampling. Digital literacy was measured using a multidimensional framework adapted from UNESCO, while reporting intention was analyzed through the Theory of Plannssed Behavior, encompassing attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with IBM SPSS 25. The findings indicate that participants exhibit a very high level of digital literacy (mean = 4.34) and a very strong intention to report gender-based violence (mean = 4.54). Regression analysis demonstrates that digital literacy has a positive and statistically significant effect on reporting intention (β = 0.498; p < 0.001), accounting for 61.2% of the variance in reporting intention. These results suggest that digital literacy enhances women’s perceived control over the reporting process, fosters positive attitudes toward reporting, and strengthens supportive social norms within digital and community-based environments. The study concludes that digital literacy is a key determinant in increasing women’s intentions to report gender-based violence, highlighting the importance of integrating digital literacy development into gender-based violence prevention and response strategies to address underreporting and promote access to justice.

Nursing care management for active Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients in an inpatient ward a case study at Monompia GMIBM Hospital Kotamobagu

Gina F. Mongilong — 2026-02-18

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that often manifests in the lungs. The symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis include coughing up phlegm for 3-4 weeks or more, shortness of breath, weight loss, night sweats without activity, and fatigue. If not immediately provided with nursing care, the impact of pulmonary tuberculosis can result in severe hemoptysis, which can cause death due to hypovolemic shock and airway obstruction. This case study aimed to analyze the nursing care provided to patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis in the Bethesda Ward of Monompia GMIBM Hospital, Kotamobagu. This research method uses a descriptive analysis with a case study approach. The subject in this case was a patient with active pulmonary tuberculosis in the inpatient ward of the Bethesda Ward of Monompia GMIBM Hospital. Kotamobagu. The study results showed that the nursing care management for pulmonary TB patients with nursing problems carried out by the researcher included ineffective airway management for airway clearance, hypovolemia management for hypovolemia, sleep support for sleep disturbances, energy management for activity intolerance, and nutrition management for the risk of nutritional deficits. The interventions included observation, therapy, education, and collaboration with other departments.

Liability of online marketplaces for consumer losses in online transactions as reviewed under law number 8 of 1999 on consumer protection

Tohadi Tohadi — 2026-02-19

The rapid expansion of online marketplace platforms in Indonesia has fundamentally reshaped consumer transaction practices, while simultaneously increasing the incidence of consumer losses arising from non-conforming goods, counterfeit products, delivery failures, and fraudulent schemes. Recent reports and publicly documented cases have revealed persistent vulnerabilities in marketplace transaction systems, raising critical questions regarding the legal responsibility of marketplaces to protect consumer rights. Despite the growing relevance of this issue, existing studies largely focus on seller liability or contractual relationships, leaving the role and accountability of marketplaces under Indonesian Consumer Protection Law insufficiently examined. This study aims to analyze the liability of online marketplaces for consumer losses in electronic transactions under Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection. Employing a normative juridical research method, this study applies a statutory and conceptual approach by examining consumer protection legislation, civil law principles, and relevant legal doctrines, supported by scholarly literature and documented cases. The findings demonstrate that marketplaces qualify as business actors and therefore bear legal obligations under Articles 4, 7, and 19 of the Consumer Protection Law, including the duty to provide accurate information, ensure transaction security, and offer compensation for consumers’ losses. However, the implementation of such liability remains largely dependent on internal marketplace policies, which often limit the effectiveness of consumer remedies. This study contributes to the literature by clarifying the legal position of marketplaces as responsible actors in online transactions and strengthening the normative foundation for enhanced consumer protection in Indonesia’s digital commerce ecosystem.

A critical discourse analysis of the toxic free nutritious meal in The Jakarta Post: Teun A. van Dijk’s framework

Atur Semartini — 2026-02-19

Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) is a flagship program promoted by President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka during the 2024 General Election campaign. In its implementation, the program has faced numerous challenges, one of which is the high number of food poisoning cases among students after consuming the MBG menu. The media reported on the poisoning case, including The Jakarta Post. News stories do not reflect reality but construct it. This study investigates the discourse of toxic Free Nutritious Meals constructed by The Jakarta Post using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach. The data consisted of four online news articles obtained from thejakartapost.com, published at four different times. The news texts were analyzed through textual, social, and social cognition analyses, as proposed by Van Dijk. The findings reveal that The Jakarta Post constructs food poisoning cases as incidents that require serious attention from both the public and the government. However, at the same time, the newspaper also builds a discourse portraying the government as having responded to the cases promptly and the MBG program as generally well implemented.

Legal analysis of the regulation of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in international contract law: A case study in Russia and Indonesia

Aprinisa Aprinisa — 2026-02-19

The increasing volume of cross-border trade and investment has positioned international contracts as the primary legal instrument governing global business relationships. Along with this development, the potential for contractual disputes between parties subject to different legal systems has intensified. Litigation before national courts is often considered ineffective in resolving international contract disputes because of jurisdictional constraints, lengthy procedures, and difficulties in the recognition and enforcement of judgments. Consequently, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has emerged as a more flexible and efficient mechanism within international contract law. This study aims to analyze the legal regulation of ADR in international contract law through a case study of Russia and Indonesia. This study employs normative legal research methods using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The data are derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials relevant to the regulation of ADR in both countries. The findings indicate that both Russia and Indonesia have normatively adopted international ADR principles, particularly arbitration, and are parties to the 1958 New York Convention. Nevertheless, significant differences exist in the implementation and effectiveness of ADR, influenced by the characteristics of their respective legal systems, policies, and judicial practices. This study concludes that although the normative frameworks governing ADR in Russia and Indonesia are largely aligned with international standards, further strengthening of consistent application and legal certainty is required to ensure the optimal functioning of ADR in the resolution of international contract disputes.

Implementation of the two-ways symmetrical model of grunig and hunt on the performance of public relations of the geological agency in disaster mitigation in West Java

Widia Sari Tresnoati — 2026-02-20

West Java is one of the areas in Indonesia that is most likely to experience geological disasters. This means that government agencies and the community must communicate risks clearly and effectively. In this case, the Geological Agency plays a key role in providing scientific data and distributing disaster mitigation information through its public relations function. This study aims to examine the application of the Two-Way Symmetric Model of communication in the performance of the Public Relations Unit of the Geological Agency in disaster mitigation efforts in West Java, Indonesia. In particular, this study explores the forms of communication applied, the role of symmetrical communication in building public trust and participation, and the supporting and inhibiting factors that influence its implementation. This study adopted a qualitative approach. Data were collected through field observations, comprehensive interviews with Geological Agency Public Relations personnel, and documentation studies derived from press-release manuscripts, social media content, and institutional communication materials related to disaster mitigation. Interactive models that include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing are used to evaluate the data. Triangulation of sources and methods is used to ensure the validity of the research. The results of the study show that the Public Relations of the Geological Agency has begun to use two-way symmetrical communication by mixing formal communication channels, such as press releases, and collaborating with government agencies, with informal and digital media that allow the public to provide feedback. This method helps build public trust and involves people in disaster relief initiatives, especially when the material is easy to understand and there are opportunities for people to talk about it. However, the application of symmetrical communication is still partial and situational. This is due to the bureaucratic structure, lack of communication resources, and the fact that technocratic techniques are often used to write messages. Research shows that strengthening institutional commitments, improving communication capabilities, and incorporating public input into strategic decision-making are critical for maximizing the application of the Two-Way Symmetric Model in disaster mitigation communication.

Community empowerment model through integrative social capacitation in the development of Bissoloro Tourism Village, Gowa Regency

Nur Riswandy Marsuki — 2026-02-20

The development of tourism villages in Indonesia is still dominated by programmatic and top-down approaches, which often fail to build the independence and sustainability of village communities. This study aims to formulate a community empowerment model through Integrative Social Capacitation in the development of the Bissoloro Tourism Village, Gowa Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, through data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies involving community actors, tourism village managers, village governments, and related stakeholders. The results show that the reconstruction of sustainable tourism villages is a long-term social process involving five main stages: (1) community social mapping, (2) construction of collective identity narratives based on local potential, (3) strengthening community capacity, (4) participatory institutionalization through village institutions, and (5) transformation of community meaning towards tourism villages. This process positions the community as the main actor who not only participates technically, but is also able to interpret and manage local potential reflectively and sustainably. This study recommends the Integrative Social Capacitation approach as a community empowerment strategy that connects social, cultural, economic, and institutional dimensions within a cross-sectoral and multi-actor collaboration framework. This model contributes to the development of rural sociological studies by offering a conceptual framework for community empowerment that is adaptive and oriented towards the sustainability of tourist villages.

The role of the police in the effort to take action against the criminal act of cockfighting gambling in the legal territory of buleleng resort police (case study in Banyuning Village)

Komang Yudiani — 2026-02-20

This study aims to analyze law enforcement efforts against cockfighting gambling (Tajen) in Banyuning Village, Singaraja District, Buleleng Regency, and the obstacles encountered. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, primary data were collected through interviews with police officers, village officials, community leaders, and related actors. The results indicate that the Buleleng Police Resort has implemented preemptive, preventive, and repressive measures, but their effectiveness remains limited. Preemptive efforts through community education by Bhabinkamtibmas are not systematic, preventive patrols struggle to reach arenas located in narrow alleys, and repressive actions are influenced by reactive attitudes and discretionary decisions without the prosecution of key actors. Law enforcement obstacles are shaped by internal factors, such as a police organizational culture that tends to wait for reports, and external factors, including community economic dependence on Tajen, environmental conditions that facilitate offenders, and cultural beliefs that blur the line between rituals and gambling. This study recommends strengthening synergy among stakeholders, enhancing patrols in vulnerable areas, and improving environmental management and customary norms to reinforce law enforcement.

Legal certainty in the conformity of smart contracts with the Indonesian civil code

Ikka Puspita Sari — 2026-02-23

This research is motivated by the rapid development of blockchain technology and the increasing use of smart contracts in modern business transactions in Indonesia, while the national legal framework does not yet provide regulations that comprehensively regulate the validity, automatic execution mechanism, and legal accountability of smart contracts. The absence of clear technical rules raises various problems, especially related to the suitability of smart contracts with the legal terms of the agreement in the Civil Code, ranging from the aspects of the agreement, the competence of the parties, certain objects, and halal causa. To answer these questions. This study uses a normative juridical method with legislative and conceptual approaches. Various regulations, including the Civil Code, ITE Law, PP 71/2019, and POJK 77/2016, as well as provisions governing electronic systems and transactions, were analyzed to assess the extent to which smart contracts can be recognized in the Indonesian legal system. The results show that although smart contracts can be positioned as legitimate agreements based on the principle of freedom of contract and the open nature of Indonesian contract law, there are still significant regulatory loopholes that have the potential to create legal uncertainty. The main challenges include the validity of digital agreements, verification of the skills of parties who are only identified through public addresses, potential errors in oracles as an external data source, and potential misuse of technology due to blockchain anonymity, which makes it difficult to prove causa that is halal. In addition, the lack of technical standards regarding code audits, automatic dispute resolution mechanisms, and accountability flows in the event of a bug in smart contracts adds to the legal vulnerability of the parties to the transaction. Thus, this study emphasizes the need to develop special regulations or integrated technical guidelines that can ensure legal certainty, protect parties, and support the safe and sustainable use of smart contracts in Indonesia's digital economy ecosystem.

Bibliometric analysis of individualism-collectivism

Muhammad Naufal Elian Yassar — 2026-02-23

The cultural dimension of individualism-collectivism has been understood as one of the determining factors of individual psychological aspects. Research on the cultural dimensions of individualism-collectivism has been widely conducted. However, no research has been conducted on this cultural dimension using bibliometric analysis. This study employs a bibliometric research design. This study concludes that the United States (country data), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (institution data), Gavreliuc, Alin and Vignoles, Vivian L (author data), and collectivism (keyword data) are the most influential data in the development of research on individualism-collectivism published in the Scopus database. We also found that several keywords are not connected, reflecting a research gap in the context of individualism-collectivism.

Reconstructing the Sighat ta’liq in the compilation of Islamic law: A preventive approach to gender-based violence

Asenda Hella Purwaninda — 2026-02-23

This study aims to analyze and formulate a model for reconstructing the sighat ta’liq (conditional divorce pronouncement) within the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The goal is to transform it into a preventive instrument against gender-based violence in marriage while maintaining respect for Islamic legal values and the national legal system. The central issue addressed is the current weakness of the sighat ta’liq in its preventive function; its normative construction remains unilateral, reactive, and formalistic, leaving wives with inadequate protection. Using a normative legal method, this study employs a document analysis approach to examine the KHI, relevant marriage laws, and the latest national and international academic literature. The analysis focuses on gender equity, human rights, and maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah (the higher objectives of Sharia) to evaluate the normative relevance and conceptual reconstruction of sighat ta’liq. The findings indicate that while the sighat ta’liq possesses strong normative potential as a protective mechanism, its effectiveness depends on a reconstruction that emphasizes the wife’s participation, legal certainty, and preventive sanctions against gender-based violence. An ideal reconstruction model would reposition the sighat ta’liq as a gender-equitable marriage contract clause that harmonizes maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah with the national legal framework. In conclusion, reconstructing the sighat ta’liq can strengthen legal protections for wives, prevent gender-based violence, and contribute to the evolution of a gender-responsive Islamic family law theory. These findings have practical implications for policy reform within the KHI, strengthening religious court mechanisms, and future research on the implementation of justice-based Islamic law.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) among climbers: Questioning the mountain climbing tourism industry in Indonesia in the context of contemporary change

Ilman Nafi’a — 2026-02-24

Mountain climbing in Indonesia has transformed significantly from a specialized exploration activity into a popular mass tourism industry, mainly driven by the influence of social media. This growth has made mountain climbing tourism one of the country's foreign exchange contributors, attracting millions of domestic and foreign climbers annually. However, this popularity has given rise to the psychological phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), a social anxiety that drives individuals to follow climbing trends without adequate understanding or preparation. Using a literature review method based on credible journals, news sites, and social media platforms, this paper aims to analyze the phenomenon of the mountain climbing tourism industry in the contemporary era in relation to the emergence of FOMO as a driver of social change. This study specifically examines how FOMO has caused a shift in the meaning and motivation of climbing, from an adventure activity to a lifestyle based on trends. Furthermore, it analyzes how this change in motivation will have a reciprocal impact on the sustainability of the mountain climbing tourism industry in the future. Ultimately, this study identifies the contradictions that arise when tourism drives social change among climbers in the region.

Income elasticity of food expenditure among urban households in Sulawesi: Evidence from engel’s law

Siti Nurhaliza — 2026-02-24

This study examines the responsiveness of food expenditure shares to income changes among urban households in Sulawesi using income elasticity analysis. Employing cross-sectional microdata from the 2023 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS), comprising 13,933 urban households across six Sulawesi provinces, we calculate arc elasticity for nine income group transitions. The results reveal predominantly negative elasticity values ranging from -0.008 to -0.504, confirming patterns consistent with Engel’s Law. The elasticity pattern exhibits an inverted-curve shape: weak in low-income groups (-0.0103 to -0.091), strengthening in middle-income groups (-0.2 to -0.5), and moderating in the highest transition (-0.059 to -0.268). This reflects critical threshold effects, where middle-income households demonstrate the strongest responsiveness in reallocating expenditures from food to non-food categories. Substantial interprovincial variations emerged, with Gorontalo exhibiting the strongest elasticity (-0.504), while Central Sulawesi showed unique patterns, including positive elasticity at specific transitions. Elasticity values consistently below one confirm food as a necessary good across all provinces. These findings provide crucial policy insights: low-income households require targeted protection through subsidies and social assistance, whereas middle-income households would benefit most from income growth policies. Provincial heterogeneity underscores the need for context-specific rather than uniform regional interventions.

The reconstruction of women's dignity in the age of social media: A discourse on the subject of cancel culture and the illusion of gender solidarity

Nur Sitha Afrilia — 2026-02-24

The emergence of cancel culture has transformed digital spaces into arenas of moral judgment, where public outrage frequently functions as a mechanism of social control. In the Indonesian context, this phenomenon unveils pronounced gender asymmetries, particularly in the form of symbolic punishment endured by women, which is disproportionate and enduring. This study aims to examine how cancel culture functions as a gendered practice that undermines women's dignity and reframes solidarity through conditional moral standards. Employing a virtual ethnography approach, this study analyzes digital interactions, public narratives, and mediated responses surrounding selected cases of online cancellation involving women. The findings suggest that cancel culture functions not merely as an expression of collective accountability; rather, it constitutes a structured process shaped by patriarchal moral hierarchies, algorithmic amplification, and selective public empathy. Women's purported moral transgressions are characterized as character flaws, whereas analogous actions by men are frequently contextualized and pardoned. In addition, the discourse of Woman Supporting Woman frequently functions as a normative instrument that disciplines women rather than cultivating authentic solidarity. This study makes a significant contribution to contemporary feminist and communication scholarship by conceptualizing cancel culture as a form of gendered power practice and emphasizing the need to reposition digital solidarity as a structural, ethical, and political commitment to achieving gender justice.
