This study aims to examine the theological meaning of love for the poor in the apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te and to reflect on its relevance within the context of Indonesia’s pluralistic society. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, using Dilexi Te as the primary source, supported by relevant theological and social literature. The findings reveal that love for the poor in Dilexi Te is not merely a charitable act but constitutes the core of Christian faith, inseparable from one’s relationship with God. This love is integral, encompassing spiritual, moral, and structural dimensions, and calls for active engagement in promoting social justice and addressing the root causes of poverty. Theologically, solidarity with the poor is grounded in the mystery of Christ’s incarnation and the principle of the preferential option for the poor. In the Indonesian context of diversity, this teaching holds strong relevance as a foundation for fostering interreligious solidarity, strengthening social cohesion, and encouraging both the Church and society to work toward a more just, inclusive, and humane social order. Therefore, this study highlights that theological reflection on love for the poor is not merely normative but also carries concrete social implications in a pluralistic society.

Catholic moral teachings are not merely ethical codes, principles, rules, or prohibitions to prevent humans from falling into sin. Catholic morality has a solid foundation that originates from the Word of God. The problem to be explored in this study is the phenomenon of ignorance among believers who assume that morality as a rule taught by the Church only restricts the freedom of believers. The purpose of this study is to present the foundation of Catholic moral teachings so that believers know and are able to understand and implement them with the right and appropriate attitude. Thus, believers have a correct understanding. The method used is a literature study. The results of this study explain that Catholic morality is a response to the aspirations of the human heart for truth and goodness. Thus, this study offers clear and precise guidelines for when implemented to achieve the common good and welfare, namely bonum commune. Catholic morality is not an oppressive principle, but a practical guide to a good life.

This qualitative literature review explores the ethical foundations of collaborative organizations by examining the interplay between moral legitimacy and joint purpose. Drawing from recent scholarship in organizational ethics, stakeholder theory, and virtue ethics, the review highlights how organizations achieve moral legitimacy through shared values, inclusive governance, and ethically anchored missions. Joint purpose emerges as a unifying force that fosters trust, identity, and stakeholder commitment across complex collaborations. The synthesis reveals that organizations sustaining both moral legitimacy and joint purpose are more adaptive, ethically resilient, and capable of creating long-term value. The review also identifies theoretical gaps and suggests directions for future research on moral agency and collective value creation within hybrid organizational forms

This study analyzes the gap between legal certainty and justice in patent protection in Indonesia through a case study of the transfer of patent rights for the Spider Nest Construction. The problem formulation includes two things. First, what is the form of distortion of legal certainty in the transfer of patent rights. Second, how is the violation of the inventor's moral and economic rights and the institutional factors that cause it. The method used is normative juridical with a statutory, case, conceptual, and comparative approach. The results of the study indicate that the distortion of legal certainty occurs because the registration of the transfer of rights only uses a Power of Attorney without an authentic deed, which violates Article 11 of the Patent Law. In addition, the unilateral action of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property to freeze and revoke the freezing of patents without a court decision violates Article 132 of the Patent Law. Violation of moral rights is manifested in the form of false attribution in the JALLA patent. Economic rights are ignored through embezzlement of royalties. The peak of injustice is the accusation of plagiarism against the original inventor for his own development invention. Inhibiting factors include institutional weaknesses within the Directorate General of Intellectual Property, excessive judicial intervention, low human resource capacity, regulatory disharmony, and an unsupportive legal culture. Strengthening strategies include institutional reform, revision of the Patent Law, ratification of international conventions, digitalization, international certification, and the establishment of a specialized intellectual property court. In conclusion, without strengthening integrated intellectual property legal policy, the gap between procedural legal certainty and substantive justice will continue to weaken the national innovation ecosystem.

Adolescence is a transitional period prone to problematic behavior due to significant physical, emotional, and social changes. One of the main factors influencing adolescent behavior is parenting style. This study aims to examine the importance of parenting styles in preventing problematic behavior in adolescents. The method used in this study is a literature review. The results of the study indicate that democratic (authoritative) parenting plays a protective role in preventing delinquency, aggressive behavior, and maladaptive behavior. Conversely, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles tend to be positively correlated with increased deviant, aggressive, and antisocial behavior in adolescents. Furthermore, self-control and morality act as mediators that can strengthen or reduce the influence of parenting styles on juvenile delinquency. Thus, the role of the family as the primary and primary environment is crucial in early detection and prevention of problematic behavior in adolescents.

The phenomenon of tedong petarung in Toraja has generated controversy due to its shift from the traditional tedong silaga, which historically formed part of Torajan customary rituals. This practice has evolved into entertainment and competition frequently associated with gambling activities. This study aims to analyze tedong petarung as a form of cultural distortion from the perspectives of customary law and criminal law, as well as to examine the limits of customary culture recognition within the national legal system. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and sociological approaches. Legal materials were collected through library research consisting of legislation, legal literature, journals, and related documents. The study finds that tedong silaga possesses legitimacy as part of Torajan customary culture containing social, symbolic, and spiritual values. However, modern tedong petarung practices demonstrate a shift toward commercialization and gambling, obscuring the philosophical values of the original tradition. From a criminal law perspective, such practices potentially fulfill the elements of gambling offenses under Indonesian positive law. This study concludes that recognition of customary culture must remain aligned with public order, morality, and national law.

This article aims to explore a dialogical reflection on the values of wisdom and leadership between the Bugis local wisdom of Salipuri Temmadinging and the biblical wisdom tradition found in Proverbs 29:14. The study is motivated by the growing leadership crisis in contemporary society, which calls for ethical reflections rooted not only in modern theories but also in local and religious traditions rich in moral insight. Employing a qualitative approach with a literature-based method, this research conducts a critical and comparative analysis of cultural texts on Salipuri Temmadinging and biblical interpretations of Proverbs 29:14. The findings reveal that both traditions emphasize social justice, moral integrity, and advocacy for the poor as essential foundations of stable and legitimate leadership. Leadership is understood not as an instrument of power, but as a moral responsibility to protect, nurture, and sustain communal life. The dialogue between these traditions highlights justice as a structural principle that ensures the durability and credibility of leadership. This study implies that integrating local wisdom and biblical wisdom literature can contribute significantly to the development of ethical and contextual leadership models within Indonesia’s pluralistic society.

The findings indicate that Islamic leadership becomes more effective when the personal integrity of leaders is aligned with adaptive, transparent, and accountable institutional systems. These results emphasize that system improvement is necessary to ensure moral values are not limited to individual practice but embedded within organizational governance and social institutions. The study also highlights the relevance of Islamic leadership in addressing the era of disruption, where synergy between prophetic character and institutional reform is essential for sustainability. The research recommends emphasizing the synergy between moral values and system improvement so that Islamic leadership can sustainably address social challenges while remaining relevant to modern demands and contemporary societal needs.   

Copyright is an exclusive right granted to creators to protect their intellectual works. The importance of copyright protection has increased with advances in digital technology and the widespread use of social media as a means of content distribution. Digital platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and various other streaming services facilitate the distribution of digital works, but also give rise to problems such as piracy and the use of works without the permission of the copyright owner. This digital piracy can result in economic and moral losses for creators. This study aims to analyze the application of copyright in the context of social media and examine the legal regulations governing copyright protection to address digital piracy in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a normative legal research method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results show that legal protection for digital works is regulated by Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and is strengthened by Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. These two regulations provide a legal basis for protecting the moral and economic rights of creators and authorize the government to block access to content that infringes copyright. These regulations are expected to reduce digital piracy and create a digital ecosystem that respects intellectual property rights.

This study examines the integration of Islamic education values in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. The background of this research is rooted in the increasing global demand for education systems that not only emphasize cognitive competence but also foster moral integrity, social responsibility, and environmental awareness. Islamic education, with its foundational values such as tawhid (divine consciousness), adl (justice), amanah (responsibility), and mizan (balance), offers a holistic framework that aligns with the principles of sustainable development. The objective of this research is to analyze how Islamic educational values can be conceptually and operationally integrated into educational practices to contribute to the SDGs agenda. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research as the primary method, collecting and analyzing relevant academic literature published in recent years. The findings indicate that the integration of Islamic values through contextual learning, reflective discussions, character-building activities, and social engagement initiatives can enhance students’ awareness of global issues, empathy, inclusivity, and ecological responsibility. Although challenges remain in curriculum standardization and character assessment mechanisms, the study concludes that Islamic education has strong potential to function as a transformative educational model. The implications of this research suggest the need for curriculum development, teacher capacity building, and institutional commitment to ensure that Islamic education meaningfully contributes to sustainable global development.

The development of modern economic systems shows that conventional approaches are often criticized for focusing too much on rational and mathematical aspects, while giving less attention to ethical and moral values in economic activities. This condition has encouraged the emergence of alternative systems that combine material and spiritual elements, one of which is the Islamic economic system.This study aims to analyze the characteristics and structure of the Islamic economic system as a framework based on Sharia principles. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method by examining various relevant sources. The data are analyzed descriptively to better understand the basic concepts and structure of the Islamic economic system.The results show that Islamic economics has key characteristics such as a strong connection to divine values, a balance between individual and social interests, and an emphasis on justice and social responsibility in economic activities. Therefore, Islamic economics not only regulates economic practices but also incorporates moral and ethical values to achieve overall social well-being.This study is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic economic studies and can be used as a reference for building a more fair and sustainable economic system.

The digital era, with 78% internet penetration in Indonesia (2025), brings information advancement but also threats like cyberbullying, hoaxes, and SARA polarization through social media. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Pancasila values as an ethical filter in mitigating these negative digital impacts through social media usage case studies. Employing a qualitative approach based on library research, data was gathered from 18 Sinta-accredited journals (2021-2026), 2 Pancasila digital theory books, UU ITE regulations, and APJII reports. Content analysis with Miles & Huberman (2024) data reduction was applied to code the implementation of each Pancasila principle. Results show that the first principle combats religious intolerance, the second suppresses cyberbullying (25% reduction), the third reduces 2024 election polarization (40%), the fourth promotes digital deliberation, and the fifth closes rural literacy gaps through gotong royong crowdfunding (Rp1T collected). Viral disinformation and Lombok 2025 disaster cases prove Pancasila's effectiveness beyond formal regulations. It is concluded that Pancasila is adaptive as a moral algorithm in the digital era, transforming social media from conflict breeding grounds into national integration spaces. Recommendations include strengthening the "Pancasila Digital Ethics" curriculum for Gen Z/Alpha, national AI literacy applications, and platform collaboration with BPIP-Kominfo.

This study aims to analyze the position and function of the principle of good faith in the international contract law system and analyze its role in providing legal protection for parties in international business transactions, especially in the context of the free market era. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach to examine the legal provisions related to this principle. The results of the study indicate that the principle of good faith is not only understood as a moral value in contractual relations, but has also developed into a legal norm recognized in various international legal instruments, such as the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, Principles of European Contract Law (PECL), and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). This principle includes subjective aspects in the form of honest intentions of the parties and objective aspects in the form of internationally applicable fairness standards. The principle of good faith plays an important role in the formation, implementation, and resolution of international business contract disputes. Although there are differences in acceptance between civil law and common law systems, the application of this principle can be harmonized through international legal instruments and soft law.  Thus, the principle of good faith is an important basis for realizing fair, balanced and sustainable international business transactions.

For criminal justice systems, the growing number of young people involved in drug-related crimes is a serious problem, especially when it comes to striking a balance between law enforcement and child protection and rehabilitation. By contrasting viewpoints from Islamic law and Indonesian positive law, this study investigates the use of restorative justice in the processing of adolescent drug cases in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi. The study used a qualitative socio-legal methodology that integrates normative legal analysis with empirical field data gathered via observations, interviews, and document analysis involving law enforcement personnel, rehabilitation facilities, families, and community people. The results show that diversionary measures required by Law No. 11 of 2012 regulating the Juvenile Criminal Justice System are the main means by which restorative justice is applied in juvenile drug cases. In order to guarantee that children are not subjected to punitive detention but rather have options for recovery and social reintegration, these systems prioritize mediation, rehabilitation, and community involvement. From the standpoint of Islamic law, restorative justice is consistent with fundamental tenets like tawbah (repentance), islah (reconciliation), and the protection of human welfare, all of which place an emphasis on moral reform and the preservation of children's dignity. These ideas support the adoption of restorative measures in the resolution of adolescent drug offenses in Tanjung Jabung Barat, a sociocultural setting where Malay-Islamic beliefs have a significant impact on community life. The report does, however, also point out a number of difficulties, such as the lack of rehabilitation facilities, the societal stigma associated with juvenile offenders, and the inconsistent use of diversion by law enforcement. The study comes to the conclusion that a framework for handling juvenile drug cases that prioritizes the rehabilitation and future well-being of children is both culturally sensitive and legally sound when restorative justice ideas are integrated with Islamic legal values and Indonesian statutory law.

This study aims to analyze the concept of social welfare in the thought of Al-Farabi and its relevance to economic development. Al-Farabi explains that the main goal of social life is to achieve happiness (al-sa‘ādah), which is not only related to material welfare but also includes moral, intellectual, and spiritual values. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach by analyzing the works of Al-Farabi and various relevant scientific literatures. The results show that the concept of social welfare according to Al-Farabi is based on four main principles: social happiness, social justice, community cooperation, and the role of morality and education. These principles indicate that social welfare is not only dependent on economic aspects but also on ethical values, wise leadership, and social cooperation within society. Furthermore, Al-Farabi’s thought is also relevant to modern economic development, particularly in terms of distributive justice, moral-based development, and the role of the state in achieving public welfare.

This research aims to describe the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) in shaping student character at SD Negeri 160 Palembang.

The three primary values emphasized are faith and morality, respecting differences, and togetherness. Despite challenges such as time constraints, synchronization of materials across subjects, and the need for teacher training, the study concludes that P5 is an effective instrument for character education. To optimize results, it is recommended to enhance program monitoring and align the conceptual understanding of P5 among educators. Overall, SD Negeri 160 Palembang has demonstrated a serious commitment to integrating P5 as a means of positive character building.

This study discusses the importance of family-focused Christian theology in building children's character in the digital era through the Christian Religious Education (PAK) approach. The transformation of information and communication technology has brought major changes, including in the fields of education and character formation. The digital era provides opportunities to increase knowledge and access to learning, but also raises challenges in the form of weakening moral values, integrity, and relationships within the family. The family as a divine institution has a primary role in teaching Christian values ​​through role models, communication, and direct experience. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, which reviews literature and observations of Christian education practices both in families and schools. The results show that families have an important role in developing children's faith and character, while PAK serves as a link between faith education at home and formal education at school. PAK is considered relevant because it can unite students' cognitive, affective, and conative aspects in facing the influence of digital culture. Overall, family-based Christian theology supported by PAK has great relevance in shaping a young generation with integrity, critical thinking, and character. This approach not only instills knowledge of faith but also prepares students to become responsible and wise leaders in utilizing technology in accordance with Christian values.

This study analyzes the concept of al-Kasb in the view of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani and assesses the relationship between this concept and contemporary work ethics. With the changes in the modern economic system, which emphasize efficiency, objective rationality, and the achievement of optimal results, various ethical conflicts in the professional and business world have become more apparent. The methodology applied in this study is a literature review with a descriptive-analytic approach, through the analysis of classical and contemporary texts to explore the theological, ethical, and social aspects contained in the concept of al-Kasb, and then conceptually compare it with the characteristics of modern work ethics. The findings of this study show that al-Kasb is not only understood as an economic activity aimed at accumulating wealth, but also as a normative guide that integrates the goals of worship, ethical responsibility, and social obligations in the production process. Work activities are viewed as an individual responsibility that supports the practice of worship and as a collective responsibility to maintain social-economic welfare and harmony. Therefore, al-Kasb provides an integrative ethical foundation that has the potential to enrich and strengthen current work ethics by emphasizing values of integrity, justice, and social responsibility in the economic aspects of life.

This study aims to analyze loan administration practices and the causes of non-performing loans from the perspective of Asymmetric Information Theory at KSP Kopdit Obor Mas Pasar Alok Branch. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results indicate that loan administration has not been optimally implemented, particularly in documentation completeness, creditworthiness analysis, and post-disbursement monitoring. From the asymmetric information perspective, adverse selection and moral hazard were identified as major contributors to non-performing loans. Limited borrower information, misuse of loan funds, and weak supervision were the dominant factors affecting credit quality. The study concludes that improving loan administration systems and strengthening monitoring mechanisms can reduce asymmetric information impacts and minimize non-performing loans in cooperatives.

This study focuses on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Central Jakarta, which play an important role in the national economy, particularly through their contribution to state revenue from the taxation sector. The purpose of this study is to examine how taxpayers’ knowledge and compliance with tax regulations influence tax revenue generated from the MSME sector. The distribution of questionnaires to MSME taxpayers was used as the main instrument to collect research data through a quantitative approach. A total of 164 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling method by considering specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. To evaluate and analyze the collected data, this study employed SmartPLS software using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results indicate that tax revenue from MSMEs is positively and significantly influenced by taxpayer compliance in fulfilling their tax obligations. Furthermore, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the level of tax knowledge and the increase in tax revenue. These findings highlight the importance of improving taxpayers’ understanding and compliance as an effort to enhance tax revenue from the MSME sector. This study is expected to provide practical contributions to the Directorate General of Taxes in formulating more effective policies to improve compliance and optimize tax revenue from MSME taxpayers.
