Youth radicalization is a serious issue that threatens social harmony, national stability, and the sustainability of nationhood in Indonesia. Various reports indicate that nearly one-third of terrorism perpetrators over the past decade have come from young people, signaling ideological vulnerability among the productive age group. This article aims to propose a youth deradicalization approach through contemporary Islamic thought, emphasizing rationality, openness of thinking, and humanism as its main foundations. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach by analyzing the works, ideas, and thoughts of contemporary Islamic scholars and examining their relevance in the context of youth development and empowerment. The findings show that contemporary Islamic approaches that emphasize critical reasoning, dialogue, and respect for humanity are effective in shaping moderate attitudes, fostering social awareness, and strengthening an inclusive and tolerant Islamic identity. Therefore, this article recommends that religious education be integrated into curricula that emphasize the values of religious moderation, respect for diversity, and the rejection of violence. This approach is expected to help young people become more tolerant, adaptive, and resilient against the influence of extremist ideologies that are harmful to society.

The reform of criminal law in Indonesia has become an increasingly urgent necessity in line with social developments, technological advancement, and the growing complexity and diversity of crime. Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the new Criminal Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana/KUHP) emerges as a comprehensive effort to replace the colonial-era Criminal Code and to align the national criminal law system with the current conditions of Indonesian society. This new Criminal Code introduces several significant changes, including the regulation of cybercrime, protection of the environment, the reinforcement of humanitarian values, and the strengthening of the principle of limiting criminal sanctions on individual liberty in order to ensure the protection of human rights. This paper aims to analyze the direction and substance of the Criminal Code reform, evaluate its potential implementation, and assess the implications of these changes for criminal law enforcement practices in Indonesia. The research method employed is a literature review using a normative approach, conducted through the analysis of statutory regulations, criminal law theories, and relevant case studies. The results of the analysis indicate that the new Criminal Code provides a more adaptive and responsive legal framework to contemporary issues; however, the effectiveness of its implementation largely depends on the readiness of law enforcement authorities, the intensity of regulatory socialization, and the level of public legal awareness. This study concludes that criminal law reform represents a strategic step toward realizing a criminal justice system that is more just, effective, and aligned with the values of Pancasila.

Antibiotics are one of the main pillars in the treatment of bacterial infections and have contributed significantly to increasing human life expectancy. However, long-term use of antibiotics has serious consequences for the balance of the body's microbiome, especially the gut microbiome which plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis through the regulation of the immune system, metabolism, and protection against pathogens. This literature review aims to comprehensively analyze the impact of long-term antibiotic use on the structure, diversity, and function of the human microbiome. The scientific articles reviewed were obtained from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases, including empirical research, systematic review, and meta-analysis published in the last ten years. The results showed that prolonged exposure to antibiotics consistently decreased microbiota diversity, altered the composition of bacterial communities, and triggered dysbiosis, which is often persistent even when therapy is stopped. Dysbiosis is associated with impaired immune system function, increased systemic inflammation, risk of allergic and metabolic diseases, and potential disorders on the intestinal-brain axis. This impact is more pronounced in vulnerable groups such as neonates and children, especially when exposure occurs during a critical period of development. In conclusion, long-term antibiotic use has broad systemic implications, so a more rational, prudent, and sustainable use strategy is needed to maintain the health of the human microbiome.

The diversity of social media used by teenagers today can influence Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) behavior, a condition where someone feels left out of information, trends, or activities carried out by others. This condition is characterized by fear, anxiety, difficulty controlling the desire to stay connected, and a tendency to compare oneself with others on social media. Teenagers are the group most vulnerable to FoMO due to their high intensity of social media use and their still-developing social needs. This reseach seeks to examine the association between scial media diversity and FoMO behavior among eleventh-grade student at SMAN 4 Tuban. The study employed a quantitative analytic design using a cross-sectional approach. The research population consists of all 11th grade students, totaling 157 respondents, selected using simple random sampling. The instruments used are a social media diversity questionnaire and a FoMO behavior questionnaire. Data analysis uses the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study show a p-value of 0.000, which means p < 0.05, so H1 is accepted. This shows that there is a significant relationship between social media diversity and FoMO behavior in adolescents. The more diverse the social media platforms used, the higher the tendency for adolescents to experience FoMO. Based on these results, it can be concluded that social media diversity influences FoMO behavior among 11th grade students at SMAN 4 Tuban.

Stock price crash risk has become a critical concern in investment decision making and risk management, drawing the attention of investors and regulators amid a dynamic global business environment and repeated financial crises. However, empirical evidence on this issue remains limited in developing countries, particularly in the Iraqi context. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between board characteristics—board gender diversity, board size, and board independence—and stock price crash risk, as well as the mediating role of audit committee effectiveness. The study uses secondary data from ten banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) during the 2017–2023 period. The findings show that board gender diversity and board size significantly reduce stock price crash risk. Higher female representation on boards is associated with more conservative decision making and stronger monitoring, which improves financial reporting transparency. An appropriately sized board also enhances oversight and lowers the likelihood of extreme negative stock price movements. In addition, the results indicate that the frequency of audit committee meetings mediates the relationship between board independence and stock price crash risk, suggesting that board independence is more effective when supported by an active audit committee. This study recommends that investors and financial analysts consider board characteristics and audit committee effectiveness when assessing firm value and risk. Furthermore, regulators and policymakers are encouraged to promote gender diversity on corporate boards to strengthen governance quality and reduce the probability of stock price crashes.

Inclusive education and gender equality are two essential components in creating a learning environment that is fair, equitable, and responsive to student diversity. This article presents a systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach on 28 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025. The research objective is to map the trends, implementation strategies, barriers, and opportunities for strengthening inclusive education with a gender perspective at the primary and secondary education levels. The results of the analysis indicate that the successful implementation of inclusive-gender education is closely related to gender-responsive teacher competence, family–community support, equitable school policies, and differentiated learning designs. The study also reveals that gender bias and stereotypes remain significant obstacles, while GESI/GEDSI training and pedagogical innovations have proven effective in improving the quality of inclusive education services. This review recommends strengthening the capacity of educators, reformulating school policies, and developing a gender-responsive curriculum as central strategies for achieving sustainable inclusive education.  

The quality of educational human resources (HR) is a key factor in determining the quality and success of educational implementation in schools. However, many schools still face problems of low performance, motivation, and professionalism among teachers and educational staff due to leadership that is not responsive to the diversity of conditions and human resource needs. This study aims to examine situational leadership as a strategy employed by school principals to improve the quality of educational human resources. The study adopts a literature review approach with qualitative content analysis of books, scholarly journal articles, and relevant previous research. The findings indicate that situational leadership enables school principals to adjust leadership styles directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating according to the levels of readiness, competence, and motivation of teachers and educational staff. Adaptive and participative leadership contributes positively to improved performance, work commitment, professionalism, and the creation of a conducive organizational climate and school culture. Therefore, situational leadership can be used as a strategic approach in planning, implementing, and evaluating sustainable educational quality improvement programs.

This study aims to examine in depth the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers as agents of tolerant da‘wah based on Islam Nusantara within multicultural elementary school settings. The research was conducted at SDN 2 Margasari, Pasawahan District, Purwakarta Regency, West Java, which represents the social, cultural, and religious diversity of students. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method to obtain a comprehensive understanding of PAI learning practices oriented toward tolerance values. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with PAI teachers and the school principal, direct observations of classroom PAI learning activities, and document analysis of religious programs and activities implemented at the school. The results indicate that PAI teachers play a strategic role in instilling values of tolerance, religious moderation, mutual respect, and appreciation of local wisdom through the application of dialogical, contextual, and inclusive learning methods. The learning strategies applied include the use of local stories and traditions that align with the values of Islam Nusantara, as well as the habituation of tasamuh (tolerance) attitudes in daily interactions within the school environment. This study recommends strengthening the competencies of PAI teachers in understanding and applying the Islam Nusantara approach, as well as integrating values of religious moderation into the elementary school curriculum as a systematic effort to build a culture of tolerance in multicultural educational settings.

The economic valuation of natural resources (NR) is an important instrument in supporting evidence-based decision-making, particularly in sustainable environmental management. Cost–Benefit Analysis (CBA) serves as a primary approach to assess the economic feasibility of programs or policies by integrating all benefits and costs, including non-market values. This article presents a systematic literature review of studies employing CBA for NR valuation during the period 2010–2024, based on searches in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar, using stringent selection criteria. The review findings indicate that CBA has been widely applied in forest management, biodiversity conservation, land rehabilitation, water and air pollution control, and ecotourism development, providing a quantitative depiction of economic feasibility through indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit–Cost Ratio (BCR), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Key challenges were identified in non-market valuation, long-term uncertainty, data limitations, and sensitivity to discount rate assumptions. These findings underscore the importance of integrating environmental valuation methods, conducting comprehensive sensitivity analyses, and adopting multidisciplinary approaches to strengthen the application of CBA in sustainable NR management, while also offering strategic recommendations and directions for future research for policymakers and environmental economics scholars.

Biodiversity represents the condition and level of ecosystem complexity in a particular area, reflecting the presence of various living organisms and their interactions with the environment. Based on its ecological conditions, Mooat Lake in East Bolaang Mongondow Regency serves as a habitat for various plant species, one of which is moss (Bryophyta), which plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance. The presence of Bryophyta in this area has the potential to be utilized as a contextual learning resource in biology education. This study aims to determine the validity level of an interactive e-book based on Bryophyta research conducted at Mooat Lake, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency, as a biology learning material for tenth-grade senior high school students. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE development model, which consists of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The product developed in this study was an interactive e-book containing biodiversity material based on field research findings. The results showed that the material expert validation obtained a percentage of 94.2%, categorized as very valid, while the media expert validation obtained a percentage of 83.7%, also categorized as very valid. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the interactive e-book based on moss research meets the criteria of being very valid and is suitable for use as a learning resource in biology subjects, particularly on biodiversity topics.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning has a strategic role in shaping the character of students who are religious, tolerant, and have noble morals. Amidst the reality of Indonesian multicultural society, PAI learning is required to be able to internalize the values of religious moderation as an effort to prevent extreme, radical, and intolerant attitudes. Religious moderation is an important paradigm in Islamic education to instill a balanced and contextual religious attitude. This proceedings article aims to examine the concept, strategy, and implications of moderation-based Islamic Religious Education learning through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The SLR method is used to examine journal articles, scientific books, and proceedings relevant to the topic of PAI learning and religious moderation in the last ten years. The results of the study indicate that moderation-based PAI learning is based on the values of wasathiyah, tawazun, i'tidal, and tasamuh which are integrated into the curriculum, learning methods, and the role models of educators. The implementation of moderation-based PAI learning has a positive impact on the formation of inclusive, tolerant attitudes and the ability to live peacefully together in students. This article is expected to be an academic reference for educators and researchers in developing Islamic Religious Education learning that is relevant to the social challenges and diversity of Indonesian society.

This study investigates the interconnected roles of board gender diversity and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on firm performance within Indonesia's distinctive two-tier corporate governance system. Utilizing a panel dataset of 80 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2023 and employing a fixed-effects regression model, the analysis measures gender diversity on both the Board of Commissioners (BOC) and Board of Directors (BOD) using the Blau Index, with firm performance proxied by Tobin's Q and ESG performance sourced from Refinitiv Eikon scores. The empirical results reveal that gender diversity on both the BOC and BOD does not have a statistically significant effect on firm performance, failing to support agency, upper echelons, and gender socialization theories. Furthermore, ESG performance demonstrates a significant negative direct effect aligning with the trade-off perspective that current implementation costs outweigh benefits. Crucially, the analysis finds that ESG does not moderate the board diversity-performance relationship, as both interaction terms are statistically insignificant. These findings collectively indicate that the potential governance and strategic advantages of board gender diversity are not being realized in the Indonesian context. The study concludes that this is attributable to several structural barriers, including tokenistic board appointments, the early-stage and often symbolic nature of ESG adoption focused on compliance rather than integration, and a weak institutional environment characterized by voluntary frameworks and socio-cultural constraints that limit the substantive influence of women in governance roles.

Early childhood education is a fundamental phase in the formation of children's character, literacy skills, and social skills. However, children's basic literacy skills in various regions of Indonesia, including Aisyiyah 2 Aimas Kindergarten, Southwest Papua, are still relatively low, exacerbated by limited learning media, conventional teaching approaches, and teachers' lack of understanding of inclusive education and positive discipline. This study aims to analyze the implementation of basic literacy training with inclusive education and its impact on improving teacher competence. The method used is a one group pretest in the context of community service, involving six teachers as subjects. The program is carried out through three stages: pre-training (observation, interview, and pretest), training (literacy materials based on the DUBT model—Listen, Speak, Read, Write; inclusive education; and positive discipline), and post-training (posttest, classroom observation, reflection, and mentoring). The results showed a significant increase in teacher competence, as shown by the increase in the average pretest score from 57.5 to 84.8 in the posttest. In addition, 83% of teachers are able to implement literacy practices such as reading picture stories, letter cards, reading corners, and dialogue interactions with children. Teachers also began to show acceptance of children's diversity and applied positive discipline without punishment. These findings show that inclusion-based literacy training is effective in improving teachers' pedagogical knowledge and practices. This research emphasizes the importance of developing adaptive, humanist, and equitable literacy as the foundation of early childhood learning.

The lack of awareness regarding the emotional impact of bullying remains a persistent issue in schools. It hinders students’ ability to build self-confidence, form healthy social relationships, and reach their full academic potential. In response to this concern, an anti-bullying training program was implemented at a junior high school (SMP Gembala Baik Pontianak). The program aimed to enhance students’ understanding of different forms of bullying and their consequences, while also promoting active participation in fostering a safe and supportive school environment. The training employed a multi-phase approach: material preparation, interactive presentations, group discussions, empathy-building exercises, and evaluation through questionnaires and behavioural observation. The results were notable: 98.91% of participants demonstrated improved understanding of bullying and its serious effects, while 73.11% reported increased confidence in reporting bullying incidents. Furthermore, 95.69% of students acknowledged that the training helped them appreciate the importance of embracing diversity and creating a safe environment. Additionally, 83.87% felt more motivated to show empathy toward their peers. These findings suggest that effective bullying prevention extends beyond information delivery—it must also engage students emotionally and instill a sense of personal responsibility. Similar programs are recommended to be held regularly with updated and contextually relevant materials.

The application of a uniform pattern in center-periphery relations is frequently entrapped in a rigidity of uniformity that neglects the sociological and historical complexities of Indonesian society. This study aims to analyze the juridical construction of asymmetric decentralization within the framework of the Pancasila Rule of Law, as well as its implications for the management of diversity and national integration. Employing a normative legal research method with conceptual and statutory approaches, this study reveals that asymmetric decentralization is not merely an administrative deviation, but rather an imperative manifestation of substantive justice and the politics of recognition towards regional particularities. Although this policy has been effective in mitigating disintegration potential in special regions such as Aceh and Papua, its implementation leaves residual issues regarding sharp disparities in authority, potential legal fragmentation, and inter-regional jealousy. This study concludes that the sustainability of special autonomy necessitates a governance reconstruction that is not solely oriented towards temporary political accommodation, but must be coherently integrated with Pancasila values. The theoretical implications of this study underscore the necessity for harmonization between national legal supremacy and the flexibility of regional autonomy to foster sustainable social cohesion within the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

This research explores the significant role of cultural institutions in overseeing and enforcing laws based on local wisdom in Indonesia, a nation characterized by its rich cultural diversity. The purpose of this study is to analyze how cultural institutions, particularly customary law bodies, can help integrate local traditions and values into the formal legal system, ensuring that laws are more reflective of and responsive to the diverse communities across the country. The study employs a normative approach with a prescriptive method to examine the challenges and opportunities of incorporating local wisdom into national law, particularly in the realm of legal oversight and dispute resolution. The research reveals that, despite constitutional recognition of customary law, its practical implementation within the national legal framework remains hindered by conflicts between customary norms and formal legal structures. Key findings suggest that strengthening the role of cultural institutions in legal processes can enhance both the legitimacy and effectiveness of the legal system, promoting social harmony and fostering justice that resonates with the local context. Ultimately, the study concludes that empowering cultural institutions is vital for creating a legal environment that respects and integrates local wisdom, which will contribute to a more inclusive, fair, and sustainable legal system in Indonesia.

This research is motivated by attention to the phenomenon of verbal violence which is increasingly common and often occurs without realizing it or is not guaranteed now. The emergence of verbal violence is very detrimental, both from the virtual world or social media and the real world by intimidating people by using harsh words. This research aims to analyze and identify Abuse Verbal Actions from a Hadith Perspective. Making fun of, criticizing, or ridiculing, giving bad titles, looking for other people's faults, and backbiting each other are abusive verbal behaviors, these actions have serious impacts such as disrupting self-confidence, mental disorders,increasing the risk of suicide, creating hostility and revenge, stress, eating and living disorders, and emotional instability. Hence, it is crucial for us to be mindful of our words, express love, and consistenly engage in constructive actions, both in the digital realm and the physical world. This imvolcus practicing prayer, cultivating patience, appreciating prayer, cultivating patience, appreaciating the diversity in human character, and maintaining a constant awareness of Allah SAW. This research uses library research with a qualitative descriptive approach so that conclusions can be drawn more comprehensively and integratively.

Social Studies instruction at the elementary school level plays a strategic role in instilling civic values in students, thereby preparing them to behave as good citizens within the social environment. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method conducted in Grade IV at SDN Kebumen 02 using the ADDIE development model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The findings indicate that the Senada song–based learning media developed using Articulate Storyline 3, which contains material on the diversity of ethnic groups and nations in Indonesia, was designed in accordance with instructional needs, received a “very feasible” rating from both content and media experts, and was proven effective as a supporting medium for Social Studies learning in improving the learning outcomes of Grade IV students, as evidenced by the results of paired t-tests and N-Gain analyses conducted in both small and large groups. This media has also proven effective in improving student learning outcomes, as tested using paired t-tests and N-Gain tests in small and large groups. These results indicate that song-based media can improve student motivation and learning outcomes in social studies.

Interreligious dialogue in contemporary plural societies faces serious challenges, particularly due to differences in the use and interpretation of religious language, which is often understood in a monolithic and decontextualized manner. Religious language is frequently reduced to doctrinal propositions debated through logical arguments, thereby neglecting the form of life from which it emerges. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s thought from the picture theory presented in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the concept of language games developed in Philosophical Investigations, as well as its implications for understanding religious language and contemporary interreligious dialogue. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method through philosophical-conceptual analysis of Wittgenstein’s major works and relevant secondary literature. The findings indicate that the concept of language games allows religious language to be understood as a social practice with internal rules and contextual meanings, rather than as metaphysical propositions subject to empirical-logical verification. In the context of interreligious dialogue, this approach helps explain differences in the meanings of religious terms such as “salvation” or “God” without treating them as absolute logical contradictions. By viewing religious language as part of language games rooted in distinct forms of life, interreligious dialogue can be directed toward mutual understanding and respect for diversity rather than the pursuit of theological uniformity.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Nusantara Islamic values ​​in multicultural education within the Integrated Islamic School (SIT) Al-Ftih environment. Nusantara Islam, as a religious concept characterized by moderation, tolerance, and accommodating local culture, has high relevance in developing education that respects diversity.Meanwhile, multicultural education emphasizes equality, inclusivity, and recognition of students' cultural identities.This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation, and its validity was tested through triangulation. The study results indicate that the integration of Nusantara Islamic values ​​in SIT Al-Fatih Sukabumi remains partial, primarily limited to thematic religious activities and has not yet systematically addressed the curriculum, pedagogy, or school culture. Supporting factors for implementation include the availability of local culture, support from some teachers, and religious moderation policies. Inhibiting factors include a lack of teacher training, the dominance of Middle Eastern Islamic references, and a lack of multicultural evaluation instruments.This study concludes that a comprehensive implementation model that integrates Islam Nusantara into the curriculum, learning, and school culture is needed. Recommendations include developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for religious moderation based on local wisdom, teacher training, and developing evaluation instruments for the internalization of Islam Nusantara values.
