Beyond traditional armed conflicts, sovereignty threats may also arise through non-military means such as unilateral territorial encroachment. One of the pressing issues currently confronting Indonesia is the increasing occurrence of unauthorized fishing, which poses a serious risk to the country’s maritime security.

Escalating regional tensions have disrupted the governance and oversight mechanisms responsible for managing Indonesia’s marine resources, especially in its eastern maritime zones. This study employs a qualitative approach through an in-depth literature review. Descriptive analysis is used to identify recurring patterns and underlying factors driving the rise of unlawful fishing practices.

The purpose of this study is to examine how deep learning influences students’ mathematical critical thinking skills. In mastering mathematics—which requires reasoning, analysis, and systematic review—critical thinking is essential to address the challenges of the 21st century. This research employs a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group model. The subjects of the study were eighth-grade junior high school students, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The main instruments used were a mathematical critical thinking skills test and a learning activity observation sheet. The findings indicate that students who participated in instruction based on a deep learning approach showed a significant improvement in critical thinking skills compared to those who received conventional instruction. Unlike students who underwent standard learning methods, those exposed to deep learning strategies experienced a notable enhancement in their critical thinking abilities. Based on these findings, the implementation of deep learning is recommended more broadly in mathematics classroom instruction.

This study explores how Generation Z maintains the use of the Indonesian language amid the challenges of globalization. In a modern era heavily influenced by foreign cultures and rapid digital development, a shift in language usage patterns among youth is becoming increasingly apparent.

Christian education, which is based on the teachings of the Christian religion, has an important role in forming individual character and morals. This education system aims to instill Christian moral and ethical values in students as a guide throughout their lives. However, in the modern era which is full of dynamics and change, Christian education faces big challenges in overcoming moral decline in society. Technological developments, cultural changes, and greater access to information create an increasingly complex moral landscape. Thus, Christian education has a key role in shaping individual character and morals and providing a solid ethical foundation, although there are a series of challenges that hinder its effectiveness. This research explores how Christian ethical principles guide interactions within families and communities, as well as their role in facing moral challenges in the modern era. The family is the main center in the formation of individuals and society, where values and ethics are practiced and passed from one generation to the next. This study emphasizes the importance of respecting parents as a spiritual basis that shapes the character and morality of Christian families.

This article analyzes the representation of inner conflict and the search for self-identity in the character Haia in the novel Laut Tengah by Berliana Kimberly, using Sigmund Freud's literary psychology approach. This approach highlights the dynamics of the interaction between the id, ego, and superego in shaping Haia's personality and behavior. Through this analysis, it is found that Haia experiences deep inner conflict due to the tension between personal drives and social demands. The ego defense mechanisms used by Haia, such as rationalization and sublimation, play an important role in maintaining her psychological balance. In addition, the social and cultural environment also influences the formation of Haia's self-identity, creating a dilemma between fulfilling external expectations and pursuing personal happiness. Haia's identity transformation process reflects the search for meaning and self-acceptance that are essential in achieving psychological balance. The implications of this analysis suggest that literature can function as a mirror of life, reflecting the psychological dynamics experienced by individuals in society.

Service-based leadership is a leadership approach that prioritizes devotion to others as the center of a leader's function. In the Christian view, this model is rooted in the example set by Jesus Christ who came to serve, not to be served (Mark 10:45). The concept of servant leadership emphasizes values such as simplicity, love, sacrifice, and moral responsibility towards those being led. This study aims to explore how servant leadership influences and shapes the formulation of vision and mission in the context of Christian organizations or ministries. Vision and mission not only function as strategic guidelines, but also reflect the calling and obedience to God's will. A Christian leader who adopts the principle of servant leadership will create a vision that focuses on the common good, spiritual growth, and empowerment of community members. Meanwhile, the mission is designed to manifest the love of Christ in real terms through actions and programs that have a broad impact. In this context, sensitivity to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, integrity in leadership, and the ability to motivate and support the development of others are needed. This study concludes that servant leadership from a Christian perspective not only functions well in organizations, but also strengthens the spirituality and unity of the body of Christ. Therefore, the formulation of the vision and mission resulting from the principle of serving not only reflects the direction, but also becomes a testimony of faith that lives in the community. Thus, servant leadership becomes a strong foundation in building a Christian organization that is relevant, impactful, and oriented towards the values of the kingdom of God, and is able to answer the challenges of the times with love, exemplary behavior, and sincere devotion and glorify God in service.

This research examines two major figures of modern Islamic reformism, Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Ridha, and how their thoughts shaped the face of Islamic education in Indonesia. Through qualitative research with a historical-comparative approach, We found that while both men shared a vision of reform, their views on modernity were very different. Abduh tended to be more open in accepting Western progress while still maintaining Islamic values, while Ridha was more cautious and prioritised purifying Islamic teachings from outside influences. These two schools of thought then coloured the journey of Indonesian Islamic organisations such as Muhammadiyah and Persis, which still feel their impact today. This research suggests the need for a synthesis of the two approaches in developing Islamic education that is authentic yet responsive to the challenges of the times.

Namely, 42% of frauds are detected by complaints (tips). Research comparing theory and empirical evidence on private entities in Indonesia is quite minimal. This research aims to prove the influence of an ethical code on the risk of asset misappropriation through whistleblowing intentions. The population of this study are employees of medium-scale entities in Jabodetabek and East Java. The sampling method used is purposive. The sample for this research is companies located in Jabodetabek and East Java with employees ranging from 70 to 150 people. This research uses primary data, namely a questionnaire. The researcher tested the validity and reliability of the data through a pilot test. If these two conditions are already met, the data then being analyzed further using path analysis. The data must also meet classical assumptions and linearity testing in path analysis testing. The researcher tested the direct influences using Ordinary Least Square. Meanwhile, the Sobel Test was used to test the indirect influence of the research variables. The Sobel Test results show that whistleblowing intention is proven to mediate the influence of the ethical code on the risk of asset misappropriation. The mediating effect of whistleblowing intention is partial. Whistleblowing intention as a mediator variable has been proven in this research, in line with various previous studies. Because it is proven to mediate partially, the novelty in this research is apart from being a mediator variable, whistleblowing intentions can also be an independent variable, with the risk of asset misappropriation as the dependent variable.
