This study investigates the role of peer social support in enhancing self-confidence among adolescents at the Amal Wanita An-Nur Orphanage in Depok, Indonesia. Adolescents living in orphanages often experience psychological challenges, including low self-confidence and limited social interaction, which can affect their personal growth and future orientation. The objective of this research is to explore how peer social support contributes to strengthening self-confidence and to identify the forms, driving factors, and obstacles of such support. A qualitative descriptive method was applied through observation, interviews, and documentation, involving seven informants consisting of the orphanage head, caregivers, and adolescents. Findings show that three types of support emotional, appraisal, and informational play a dominant role in fostering self-confidence. Emotional support was expressed through empathy and active listening, appraisal support was provided through recognition of achievements and encouragement, while informational support involved advice and constructive feedback. Meanwhile, instrumental and network support were less emphasized due to limited resources. Despite the presence of barriers such as feelings of inferiority, miscommunication, and differences in emotional readiness, peer support proved effective in motivating adolescents, strengthening their resilience, and fostering positive self-perception. The implications suggest the need for structured peer-support programs, facilitated by caregivers and social workers, to maximize adolescents’ potential and prepare them for future challenges. Thus, this study demonstrates that peer social support serves not only as a protective factor but also as a social learning tool that shapes adolescents' interpersonal skills. Targeted programs can increase self-confidence, expand social relationships, and create a more supportive and inclusive nursing home environment.

Pancasila, as Indonesia’s foundational ideology, plays a central role in guiding the nation’s democratic governance and shaping its human rights framework. Despite its normative strength and universal values, the implementation of Pancasila in protecting human rights remains challenged by selective interpretations, legal inconsistencies, and socio-political dynamics that often limit its transformative potential. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, systematically analyzing peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed publications from 2014–2025. The methodology integrates qualitative thematic synthesis and bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer, combining network, overlay, and density visualizations to capture both substantive content and the intellectual structure of the literature. The review identifies four major thematic dimensions: (1) humanity and social justice as core ethical values of Pancasila; (2) legal framework and reforms that seek to harmonize national laws with constitutional and international human rights principles; (3) challenges and critiques highlighting issues such as weak law enforcement, political intervention, and ideological contestation; and (4) educational and societal impacts, particularly the role of civic education and community-based initiatives in fostering rights awareness. Findings highlight that while Pancasila provides a robust ethical and legal foundation for human rights protection, its practical impact remains constrained by structural weaknesses, limited civic engagement, and inconsistent judicial practices. Bibliometric mapping reveals a growing scholarly interest in the areas of legal modernization, democratic governance, and the integration of human rights education within both formal and informal learning systems. This suggests that contemporary discourse is increasingly oriented toward reform and institutional strengthening. The study concludes that a synergistic application of Pancasila principles, comprehensive legal reform, and active civic participation is crucial for advancing human rights in Indonesia. Strengthening judicial independence, promoting inclusive legal frameworks, and enhancing civic education are key strategies to align Indonesia’s human rights practices with both its national values and international standards. Ultimately, this review contributes to scholarly discourse and policy development by providing a comprehensive synthesis of the intersection between ideology, democracy, and human rights in contemporary Indonesia.

The development of information and communication technology (ICT), particularly the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, has transformed Indonesia's national security threat landscape. Threats that previously focused on traditional military aspects have now shifted to non-traditional cyber threats, such as cyberattacks, digital espionage, and infrastructure sabotage. According to PROXSIS IT GRC data, in 2024, more than 19 million cyberattacks were recorded against websites in Indonesia. While this figure is a decrease compared to the previous year, this trend is thought to reflect a shift towards more structured and organized tactics by threat actors. In response, the Indonesian government established the National Cybersecurity Action Plan 2024–2028 as a strategic guideline. Furthermore, cyber diplomacy is being promoted through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, for example through the signing of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the UK and Kaspersky. This cooperation includes the exchange of intelligence information, strengthening human resource capacity, raising public awareness regarding cybersecurity, and protecting critical information infrastructure. This study uses non-traditional security theory and defense diplomacy to analyze the strategies, challenges, and prospects of Indonesia's cyber policy. The analysis demonstrates that cyber defense diplomacy plays a crucial role as an instrument for integrating technology, regulation, and international collaboration in safeguarding digital sovereignty. In addition to strengthening threat detection and mitigation capabilities, this diplomacy also builds networks of trust with partner nations, which is essential amidst the increasing complexity of global threats. Therefore, in the era of digital globalization, full of interconnections, cyber defense diplomacy serves not only as a national protection tool but also as Indonesia's contribution to global cybersecurity stability. This effort prioritizes synergy between technological innovation, law enforcement, and sustainable international cooperation.

This article discusses the dynamics of Islamic education during the Sultanate of Banten, an Islamic kingdom that developed since the 16th century and became one of the centers of Islamic civilization in the archipelago. Islamic education in Banten not only shapes the Islamic identity of the community, but also strengthens morality, social solidarity, and cultural resilience. Islamic boarding schools are the main pillars of education that integrate the teaching of religious science, character education, and socio-religious practices. The role of pesantren expands, not only as a learning center, but also as a da'wah institution that instills the values of independence, justice, and brotherhood in the midst of a multicultural society. Great scholars such as Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani and Sheikh Yusuf al-Makassari have an important role in strengthening the scientific network between Banten, the Middle East, and the Islamic world. Their profound works in the fields of jurisprudence, Sufism, and morals had a great influence on the development of Islamic thought in Southeast Asia. The pesantren curriculum that focuses on the yellow book, with the teaching methods of sorogan, bandongan, and wetonan, produces students who are not only knowledgeable, but also disciplined, moral, and sensitive to social problems. The Dutch colonial period brought severe challenges with secular policies and restrictions on Islamic education. However, pesantren still exist as spiritual and intellectual fortresses. This success is supported by the ability of pesantren to develop economic independence and expand scientific networks through the overseas migration of students to various Islamic study centers abroad. Until now, Banten's Islamic education heritage has transformed into a modern Islamic boarding school that is able to combine classical traditions with technology and global insights. This study confirms that traditional Islamic education in Banten has a strategic role in shaping the social, spiritual, and identity structure of the Muslim community, which persists across generations.

This study evaluates the performance of three community detection algorithms—Leiden, Infomap, and Label Propagation—on the legal network of the Republic of Indonesia spanning the period 2014–2024. The network consists of 679 nodes and 2,295 edges, constructed based on citation relationships among regulations. The evaluation employs four network topology metrics: modularity, coverage, conductance, and inter-cluster density. Results show that the Leiden algorithm achieves the highest modularity score (0.522991), indicating the formation of communities with strong internal density. Additionally, it yields the lowest conductance value (0.302455), suggesting relatively well-isolated communities. In contrast, the Label Propagation algorithm produces the highest coverage (0.835294) and inter-cluster density (0.542331), but with a lower modularity (0.431583), reflecting the formation of large communities with less distinct boundaries. Infomap exhibits moderate performance, with a modularity score of 0.508406 and inter-cluster density of 0.420803, yet records a relatively high conductance (0.410409). Network visualizations reveal three major communities for each algorithm, representing thematic clusters such as institutional governance, constitutional law, and public finance. Overall, the Leiden algorithm is considered the most optimal for detecting modular, stable, and thematically coherent community structures within the complex and interrelated network of Indonesian laws.

The use of information technology (IT) in the government sector requires structured risk management to ensure the continuity of public services. The Department of Communication and Information Technology (Dinkominfo), as a digital service provider, faces various potential risks such as network disruptions, hardware failures, and cyberattacks that could interfere with daily operations. This study employs the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method to identify, analyze, and formulate strategies to mitigate existing IT risks. Through the FMEA approach, each potential failure is evaluated based on its severity, occurrence, and detection capability, which are then used to calculate a Risk Priority Number (RPN). The analysis reveals that the highest RPN values are associated with information system errors, hardware failures, and network overloads. As mitigation measures, the study recommends conducting regular system audits, upgrading network capacity, and performing preventive maintenance on devices. This approach demonstrates that FMEA is an effective method for managing IT risks within government institutions.

This paper explores the application of quantum-inspired optimization algorithms in the training of large-scale Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) within distributed cloud-edge environments. GNNs have gained significant attention due to their ability to model complex relationships in graph-structured data, yet their training presents challenges such as high computational demand, inefficient resource allocation, and slow convergence, especially for large datasets. Traditional meta-heuristic algorithms, while useful, often face scalability and performance issues when applied to such large-scale tasks. To address these challenges, we propose a quantum-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm that leverages quantum principles, such as superposition and entanglement, to enhance optimization processes. The algorithm was integrated into a hybrid cloud-edge system, where computational tasks are dynamically distributed between edge nodes and the cloud, optimizing resource utilization and reducing latency. Our experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in training speed, resource efficiency, and convergence rate when compared to traditional optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing. The quantum-inspired algorithm not only accelerates the training process but also reduces memory usage, making it well-suited for large-scale GNN applications. Furthermore, the system's scalability was enhanced by the hybrid cloud-edge architecture, which balances computational load and enables real-time data processing. The findings suggest that quantum-inspired optimization algorithms can significantly improve the training of GNNs in distributed systems, opening new avenues for real-time applications in areas such as social network analysis, anomaly detection, and recommendation systems. Future work will focus on refining these algorithms to handle even larger datasets and more complex GNN architectures, with potential integration into edge devices for enhanced real-time decision-making.
