Drug abuse and risky social behavior remain significant social issues among adolescents, particularly in rural areas experiencing rapid information exposure and lifestyle changes. This community service program aimed to enhance adolescents’ awareness and resilience toward the dangers of drug abuse (NAPZA) while promoting a healthy lifestyle through the cultivation of family medicinal plants (TOGA) in Karangmalang Village, Ngawi Regency. The program employed a participatory descriptive approach, actively involving adolescents as the primary beneficiaries. The implementation consisted of two main stages: interactive socialization on drug abuse and risky behavior, and a workshop on cultivating medicinal plants as a form of community-based healthy living practice. The results indicated that the socialization activities improved adolescents’ understanding and awareness of drug abuse risks, as reflected in their active participation during discussions. Furthermore, the TOGA cultivation workshop provided practical benefits by introducing simple herbal remedies and offering positive, sustainable activities for the community. Overall, the integration of educational and practical approaches proved effective as a preventive and empowerment strategy to strengthen adolescent resilience and foster a healthier and more productive village environment.

This study aims to explore in depth the impact of Islamic parenting on the development of disciplinary character in early childhood. Conceptually, parenting in Islam is understood as a child-rearing method based on Islamic principles, emphasizing values of role modeling, love, responsibility, and moral development from an early age. Through this approach, parents serve as the first and foremost educators in instilling the values of discipline reflected in children’s daily behavior, both within the family and in social interactions. This research analyzes various ways Islamic parenting is applied in daily activities, including the habit of performing prayers on time, managing schedules for study and play, and implementing educational consequences in accordance with Islamic principles. The findings reveal that the consistent application of Islamic parenting patterns, combined with effective communication between parents and children, has a positive effect on the development of children’s disciplinary character. Children raised under Islamic parenting tend to have an awareness of obeying rules, valuing time, and taking responsibility for their duties and obligations. Conversely, the study also identifies challenges stemming from parents’ limited understanding of Islamic parenting concepts, as well as external environmental influences such as digital media and peer interactions that are not always aligned with Islamic values. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve literacy regarding Islamic parenting through educational activities involving early childhood education institutions, religious study groups, and parent communities. In general, the findings of this study highlight the importance of collaboration among families, schools, and communities in consistently applying Islamic parenting principles to foster children’s disciplinary character from an early age in accordance with Islamic teachings.

This research investigates the development of IT-based Automatic Identification System (AIS) data surveillance models supporting maritime safety through integration of advanced information technology, maritime engineering principles, and human factors optimization. AIS technology generates vast real-time vessel movement data creating unprecedented opportunities for safety enhancement through systematic surveillance, collision risk detection, traffic pattern analysis, and incident prevention, yet effectiveness depends critically on intelligent data processing algorithms, reliable IT infrastructure, and competent personnel capable of interpreting surveillance outputs and taking appropriate actions. Through qualitative analysis involving maritime safety authorities, vessel traffic service (VTS) operators, port authorities, marine engineers, IT specialists, data scientists, and maritime training institutions, this study examines how IT-based surveillance models incorporating pattern recognition, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, and crew-centered interfaces can transform maritime safety management from reactive incident response toward proactive risk prevention. Results demonstrate that intelligent AIS surveillance can identify 75-90% of high-risk situations 15-45 minutes before critical events, reduce collision risks by 60-80%, improve traffic management efficiency by 35-55%, and enhance crew situational awareness by 45-65% when integrated with appropriate training programs developing personnel competencies in data interpretation, system operation, and coordinated response. Key implementation challenges include data quality and completeness issues, computational infrastructure requirements, algorithm development complexity, personnel competency gaps requiring substantial training investments, organizational coordination barriers, and privacy/security concerns. Findings reveal that successful AIS surveillance implementation requires holistic sociotechnical approaches integrating IT systems engineering, maritime domain expertise, and human capability development through coordinated design, deployment, and training strategies. This research contributes to maritime safety literature by providing integrated frameworks for IT-based surveillance systems incorporating technical capabilities, operational requirements, and human factors supporting evidence-based safety management.

This research aims to explore the function of the church in improving the understanding of the congregational environment through an eco-ecclesiology perspective. Eco-ecclesiology places the church as an integral part of God's creation that has a spiritual responsibility to protect, protect, and care for the environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation from church ministers and congregation members. The results of the study show that the church has contributed to building concern for the environment through preaching, education, and social activities related to nature conservation. However, this role is not fully optimal because there is still limited awareness among the congregation and there is no structured and sustainable environmental program. These findings affirm the need for churches to integrate eco-ecclesiological principles more systematically into the ministry and daily life of the church. Thus, the church functions not only as a spiritual center, but also as an agent of social transformation that encourages the creation of ecological awareness and concrete actions in preserving the environment.

This research is motivated by the gap between the standard prayer readings of Khoiru Ummah Islamic Junior High School Malang and the diverse practices of students due to differences in background. The absence of a specific time allocation for talaqqi becomes a challenge in standardization efforts. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation steps of the guided habituation method through the Jahr technique (loud reading) in congregational Dhuha Prayer as a pedagogical solution. This study uses a qualitative research approach with a case study design. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews with the Principal and Islamic Education Teachers, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with students, and document analysis. The results show that the implementation of this method follows the habit loop flow (trigger, routine, reward) from a behavioristic perspective. The Jahr technique functions as an effective auditory stimulus (talaqqi) in helping students memorize standard readings, supported by the fiqh-pedagogical justification of Jahr li at-ta'lim. Despite its effectiveness, challenges were identified in the consistency of student responses (passive) and the lack of systematic post-prayer reinforcement. It was concluded that the guided habituation method through the Dhuha Prayer Session is a practical pedagogical model that can be implemented to standardize practical worship in schools.

This study aims to develop a Christian Religious Education learning model based on Tongkonan values to strengthen the spiritual identity of Toraja youth amid identity crisis caused by globalization. Using qualitative method with literature study, this research analyzes the integration of Tongkonan philosophical values such as karapasan, kasiuluran, and kasianggaran with theological principles of Christian Religious Education through contextual learning approach and narrative theology. The results show that Tongkonan values have strong resonance with Christian teachings and can be integrated into a learning model comprising five components: theological-cultural foundation, contextual curriculum design, experience-based learning strategies, the role of three educational centers, and authentic evaluation. Implementation of this model has significant implications for strengthening spiritual identity through formation of solid self-identity, authentic moral value internalization, and development of spiritual resilience. This Tongkonan values-based Christian Religious Education learning model bridges the dichotomy between modernity and tradition, making Christian Religious Education more relevant and meaningful for Toraja students by equipping them with a holistic identity as Toraja people who are also followers of Christ.  

This research analyzes the application of J. Oswald Sanders' servant leadership concept to tongkonan (traditional house) leadership in Toraja society. The background of this study is the presence of authoritarian leadership tendencies among to parenge (tongkonan leaders) who prioritize personal power over community service and empowerment. This research employs a qualitative approach through literature review, analyzing academic articles, research journals, and theological sources to understand the relevance and applicability of Sanders' principles within the Toraja cultural context. The findings reveal that Sanders' servant leadership, which is grounded in spiritual discipline and community empowerment, represents a viable alternative for reconstructing tongkonan leadership from an authoritarian model to a collegial model. However, implementing this model faces structural challenges due to the transformation of tongkonan's functions and the intrusion of formal government systems. In conclusion, Sanders' principles can be applied to tongkonan leadership through institutional reconstruction that combines traditional Toraja values with transparent and accountable leadership practices, thereby creating leadership that is simultaneously serving and empowering the community.

This study analyses the synergy between teachers and parents through a home visit programme at Jenu Islamic Junior High School in supporting student learning assistance. A descriptive qualitative method was applied with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies conducted over three months. The results show that the home visit programme, conducted regularly every three months, has succeeded in building effective collaboration between educators and parents in supporting student learning. Home visits not only strengthen the emotional bond between the school and families, but also enable teachers to understand the learning conditions of students directly in their home environment. This programme has had a significant impact on improving student motivation, attendance, and discipline. Despite facing obstacles such as scheduling difficulties and ethical challenges for female teachers in visiting the homes of male parents, the personalised approach applied in this programme proved to be capable of creating a more inclusive and sustainable educational environment. The home visit programme has become an effective mentoring model for improving the holistic academic and character development of students based on Islamic values.

The tradition of pregnant women hiding under the bed during a lunar eclipse is still found in some Muslim communities in Indonesia. This tradition is believed to serve as a means of protecting the fetus from the negative impacts of the eclipse, both physically and metaphysically. This study aims to examine this tradition from the perspective of Living Hadith, namely how the Prophet’s hadiths are understood, interpreted, and practiced within the social life of the community. This research employs a qualitative approach using field study methods, including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that this tradition has no direct textual basis in the Prophet’s hadiths; rather, it has developed through processes of religious interpretation, local myths, and traditional knowledge that are associated with Islamic teachings. The community often relates this tradition to hadiths concerning eclipses as signs of God’s power and as moments to increase supplication and prayer. This tradition reflects a form of acculturation between Islamic values and local culture, while also demonstrating how hadiths are “lived” within the collective consciousness of the Muslim community, even when such practices do not fully align with the textual meanings of the hadiths.  

The phenomenon of masculine men has become a new strategy in the modern beauty product marketing industry. Changing social and cultural values about gender identity have led to the emergence of male images with soft, stylish, and aesthetic characteristics in various promotional campaigns. This study aims to analyze how the phenomenon of masculine men is used as a marketing communication strategy, as well as its impact on consumer perception. The method used is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach, which examines contemporary communication theory, gender theory, and modern marketing concepts. The findings suggest that the use of masculine male figures in beauty product advertising can expand market segmentation, attract cross-gender audiences, and create an inclusive brand image that aligns with current social trends. However, this strategy also raises debates about the limitations of masculinity and the social construction of beauty. Therefore, the phenomenon of masculine men can be understood as a form of adaptation of marketing communication to changes in cultural and gender values in contemporary society In addition, the findings of this study are expected to make a theoretical contribution to the study of marketing communication and gender studies, as well as become a practical reference for beauty industry players in designing promotional strategies that are sensitive to social dynamics, cultural values, and the increasingly diverse preferences of modern consumers.

The phenomenon of the economic spending patterns of FISH students at Jakarta State University living in the Daksinapati, Pemuda, and Rawamangun Muka areas reflects the socio-economic dynamics of out-of-town students adjusting to independent living in a big city. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews with five informants living in three different boarding houses. The analysis was conducted using Mark Granovetter's (1985) Embeddedness theory, which emphasizes that individual economic actions are always embedded within social networks, norms, and interpersonal relationships that shape their consumption decisions. The results show that student spending is influenced not only by primary needs such as rent, food, and transportation, but also by social relationships within the boarding house and campus, which give rise to latent expenditures such as hanging out, pooling activities, organizational solidarity, and peer lifestyle demands. Thus, the consumption patterns of out-of-town students are not merely individual economic activities but also social mechanisms reflecting the process of adaptation, solidarity, and efforts to maintain integration within the social environment they inhabit.

Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) is a government assistance program aimed at poor or underprivileged communities, distributed monthly through electronic accounts and used specifically to purchase basic necessities at designated E-Warong stores. However, in reality, the implementation of the BPNT program in the field still faces comprehensive challenges, such as issues related to targeting inaccuracy and the quality of food obtained by KPM not always meeting standards. The purpose of this study is to explore the evaluation of the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program policy through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, so that researchers can trace various empirical findings regarding the implementation of the Non-Cash Food Assistance program policy in several regions. The policy evaluation model used is William N Dunn's model, which includes six indicators, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results of this study are expected to provide a comprehensive and in-depth picture of the phenomenon being studied in an objective and systematic manner, and can be used as a reference for government agencies in evaluating and optimizing the implementation of the BPNT program policy so that it becomes a more effective and sustainable social assistance program.

Competition in acquiring young talent is increasing, so employer branding strategies  are an important element for organizations in attracting the interest of generation Z. As digital natives, generation Z has different characteristics and expectations, including the need for career development, work-life balance, organizational reputation, and an inclusive work culture (Smith, 2022). In the midst of global competition and the increasingly dominant use of digital technology in the job search process, companies are required to build an authentic and relevant employer image in order to increase the attractiveness of their talents. Previous research has shown that employer branding has a significant effect on the interest in applying for jobs for generation Z, either directly or through mediating factors such as organizational reputation and person-organization fit (Backhaus & Tikoo, 2004; Jiang & Iles, 2024). Based on this phenomenon, this study aims to analyze the influence of employer branding on the interest in applying for jobs of Generation Z and examine the role of organizational reputation and person organization fit as a mediation variable. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of Generation Z respondents who were looking for a job, then analyzed using multiple regression and bootstrapping mediation test. The results of the study show that employer branding has a positive and significant effect on the interest in applying for jobs for generation Z, and this influence is stronger when the reputation of the organization and the person-organization fit plays the role of mediator. These findings affirm the importance for organizations to build a positive image, provide an inclusive work culture, and highlight the value match between companies and applicants in order to be able to compete in the fight for young talent in the digital era.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the 21st century has brought significant transformation to the field of education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). One of the most practical implementations of this technology is the chatbot an automated conversational system capable of providing quick and contextual responses to user queries. This study aims to analyze the utilization of AI-based chatbots in addressing Islamic-related questions among students of the Islamic Education Department at IAIN Kerinci. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that students use chatbots as an initial source of information to understand Islamic concepts such as fiqh, tafsir, and hadith. Chatbots serve as learning aids that promote active learning and enhance students’ digital religious literacy. However, the study also identifies limitations related to the accuracy and validity of the sources used by the system, indicating that students still need verification from lecturers and authoritative Islamic literature. Overall, AI-based chatbots hold great potential to support interactive and contextual Islamic learning, provided their use is guided by academic supervision rooted in Islamic values.

The development of Society 5.0 requires Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in MTs to transform into a more adaptive model that integrates technology while maintaining a focus on character formation. This article aims to identify the main problems in PAI learning at MTs and analyze the challenges and threats arising from digital educational changes. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, educational policy analysis, and synthesized findings from the last five years. The results show that the central issues include teachers' digital competence, infrastructure readiness, value degradation due to digital distraction, and the mismatch between students’ character needs and technology-based learning demands. Society 5.0 offers opportunities for technology integration but also brings threats such as misinformation, digital dependency, and weakened value internalization when learning is not holistically designed. This study provides strategic recommendations for teachers, schools, and policymakers to strengthen PAI learning quality relevant to digital-era needs.  

This study reexamines Genesis 26:12–13 to illuminate the hermeneutical tension between the original meaning of the Hebrew term זָרַע (zāraʿ) and the interpretive patterns characteristic of the Prosperity Gospel. Through a historical-critical approach combined with narrative analysis, the study demonstrates that Isaac’s act of sowing must be understood as an actual agrarian activity undertaken within conditions of crisis and limitation, and grounded in the initiative and faithfulness of God. The findings indicate that the blessing Isaac received was never intended as a universal, reproducible formula but as a theological declaration of divine care within a history marked by uncertainty. In contrast, the Prosperity Gospel employs a hermeneutic that is predominantly literal and selective in its use of texts while disregarding their contexts, thereby reshaping the covenant narrative into a reductive pattern of guaranteed prosperity. This analysis shows that such reading not only shifts the theological focus of the text but also obscures the dynamics of faith, obedience, and grace that form the heart of the narrative. The study affirms the necessity of a more critical and responsible hermeneutic and argues that recovering the historical context and narrative structure serves as an essential theological corrective to Prosperity Gospel readings that detach the text from its original context.

This study traces the historical and intellectual processes that enabled Plato's ideas to enter the tradition of Islamic philosophy and subsequently influence Islamic boarding school education in Indonesia. Starting from the increasing openness of Islamic boarding schools to classical humanities, this study aims to understand how Plato's ideas were transferred from the context of Ancient Greece, reinterpreted by Muslim philosophers, and integrated into traditional learning practices. Using a library-based qualitative approach with hermeneutic, historical-intellectual, and thematic methods, this study analyzes the transmission pathways that include the Abbasid translation movement, the interpretive contributions of figures such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, and Ibn Sina, and the absorption of concepts through literature on ethics, logic, and adab. The findings show that Islamic boarding schools did not inherit Plato's ideas directly, but rather through the Islamic philosophical tradition that reshaped Platonic elements to fit the Islamic intellectual framework. Concepts related to spiritual education, character building, and ethical rationality are in line with the orientation of tazkiyah al-nafs, which is the foundation of Islamic boarding school pedagogy. This study confirms that the relationship between Plato's ideas and Islamic education emerged through a long creative process, not merely a transfer of texts. Practically, these findings highlight opportunities to develop a more reflective, critical, and virtue-centered pesantren curriculum, while encouraging further ethnographic research to explore how the classical philosophical heritage is reinterpreted in contemporary santri learning practices.

The flood disaster the struct Mauponggo, Flores, Est Nusa tenggara, not only caused infrastructural destruction, loss of life and social trauma, but also revealed a deeper philosophical dimension of human existence. From an ontological prespective, a disaster is not merely a natural occurrence but a moment of disclosure that unvieils the existential fragility of human beings in the faceof natural forces beyond rational, technological, and social control. Onology, as a branch of metaphysics that explores the nature of being, understands humans as beings whose existence is inseparable from space, time, and limitation. Trough a reflective and literature based approach, this study examines the Mauponggo flood as an existential event that exposes the ontological condition of humanity, drawing particularly on Martin Heidegger’s concepts of being toward death and being in the world. The finding show that disaster reveals humans as finite and vulnerable beings who remain open to relationships with nature, others, and the transcendent. This study affirms that an ontological prespective on disaster not only enriches academic discussions on the philosophy of disaster but also holds practical signifincace. The awareness of existential fragility encourages social solidarity, ecological ethics, and deeper transcendental reflection. Thus, this work contributes to developing more reflective and meaningful humanitarian and sustainability responses rooted in a philosophical understanding of human existence and its place in the world.  

This study examines the ideas of Ziauddin Sardar and Azyumardi Azra in three major areas: Islamic education, digital religious authority, and religious moderation. Using a library research approach, this article analyzes how Sardar’s Postnormal Times (PNT) framework explains global complexity, chaos, and contradictions that shape the future of Islamic thought and education. Meanwhile, Azra’s concept of Islam Nusantara and wasathiyah provides a historical and cultural foundation for constructing moderate Islamic identity in Indonesia. Findings indicate that Sardar emphasizes adaptive education oriented toward future literacy, while Azra highlights the integration of tradition, modernity, and local culture. In the context of digital authority, Sardar views the transformation as a structural effect of postnormal conditions driven by algorithmic systems, while Azra stresses the need to strengthen scholarly legitimacy based on sanad, institutions, and ethical guidance. Both perspectives converge on the importance of moderation. Sardar presents moderation as a strategy to manage global complexity, whereas Azra positions wasathiyah as the inherent identity of Islam in the archipelago. This study concludes that synthesizing both frameworks can strengthen Islamic education, stabilize digital religious authority, and reinforce Indonesia’s moderate Islamic identity in responding to contemporary challenges.

This study explores the role of the Holy Spirit as the main actor in spreading the gospel according to the Book of Acts and its relevance to the church's current mission strategy. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach with literature review, this study examines biblical texts and theological literature that emphasize that since the events of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit has been the main initiator of the church's mission movement. In Luke's narrative, the Holy Spirit not only empowers the disciples to witness, but also leads the direction of ministry, selects and sends missionaries, opens and closes mission paths, and affirms the inclusiveness of the gospel for non-Jewish nations. The Holy Spirit acts as a catalyst that transforms a weak community of disciples into a church that boldly proclaims the gospel, as seen in Peter's sermon and the rapid growth of the congregation. In addition, the Holy Spirit preserves the purity of the church, unites the congregation, and gives spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ. The results of this study confirm that the success of the early church's mission did not depend on human strategies, but on obedience to the Holy Spirit's leadership. The implication for the church today is the need to depend on the work of the Holy Spirit in evangelism, fellowship, and the development of the congregation's gifts, so that the church is able to respond to the challenges of the times with divine power and wisdom.
