This study aims to analyze the influence of Resource-Based View (RBV) on innovation performance in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that have expanded internationally, with government information access as a moderation variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The object of the research is CV. Delta Raya, an MSME in the furniture sector from Batu City that has successfully penetrated the export market to Japan, South Korea, and Mexico. The results of the study show that human capital investment and political connections have a significant positive effect on innovation performance. Although international experience does not have a direct effect, the effect becomes significant when moderated by government information access. Access to government information also strengthens the influence of political connections on innovation. The implications of this study underscore the importance of collaboration between MSME actors and government institutions in encouraging internal resource-based innovation.

This study aims to explain the concept of religious moderation, examine its implementation within the context of Islamic Religious Education, and identify examples of religious moderation practices in Indonesia. The research employs a phenomenological method and is categorized as a literature study, utilizing secondary data from various documents. Data collection was conducted online, and data analysis followed an interactive model. The findings reveal that religious moderation is a perspective on religiosity that emphasizes tolerance. The main principle of moderation is the pursuit of balance, marked by a tolerant attitude. In Islamic education, religious moderation is interpreted as a moderate Islamic educational concept that focuses more on the quality of instruction. The Islamic teachings delivered emphasize beneficial and peaceful values. Therefore, promoting a moderate understanding of Islam in various educational institutions is essential. Religious moderation practices in Islamic education have been implemented across various institutions in Indonesia, both formal and non-formal, through training programs. Several elements applied include an inclusive curriculum, interfaith dialogue, respect for diversity, and efforts to prevent radicalism.    

This study aims to analyze the representation of religious moderation values in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) textbook for grade VII at the junior high school level published by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the Merdeka Curriculum. The research method used in this research is a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. Data collection techniques are carried out through literature review and document analysis. This research will also use triangulation techniques to ensure data accuracy.  The results show that this textbook successfully conveys the values of religious moderation in a way that is appropriate to the Indonesian context which is rich in diversity. The value of national commitment is emphasized through teaching about the importance of maintaining national unity, while the value of tolerance and interfaith cooperation is reflected in materials that respect differences in beliefs and invite students to coexist peacefully. In addition, the value of anti-violence in religion is also integrated by promoting the principles of peace and compassion, as well as attitudes that avoid extremism. The book also introduces respect for local cultures that are in line with religious principles, to create a society that is inclusive, peaceful, and able to maintain social harmony. Thus, PAI textbooks in the Merdeka Curriculum not only function as a tool for religious learning, but also as a means of building student character that emphasizes the values of religious moderation in everyday life.

This study examines the effectiveness of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) in addressing the dissemination of pornographic content on Twitter/X. Using a literature review approach, it highlights UU ITE’s role in regulating digital activities by prohibiting the distribution of obscene content. Despite providing a robust legal framework, its implementation faces significant challenges, including user anonymity and limited monitoring capabilities. Data from the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) reveals a substantial increase in the number of blocked pornographic content, although it represents only a fraction of the broader issue. Additionally, Twitter/X’s content moderation policies often conflict with local regulations, requiring closer collaboration between governments and digital platforms. Potential solutions include adopting artificial intelligence for automatic detection, enhancing user verification, and fostering international cooperation. This study concludes that synergy between the government, digital platforms, and the public is essential for creating a safer and more conducive digital space.

The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis techniques employed are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings show that the implementation of the principles of religious moderation in Civics learning for Grade X students at SMAN 4 Blitar is carried out throughout various learning processes. The principles of justice and balance are applied in student grouping activities as well as in the assessment stage.

Islamic political preaching has become an increasingly significant phenomenon in Indonesia's socio-political landscape. Islamic political institutions develop various da'wah strategies that are adaptive to changing times, ranging from traditional approaches to the use of digital technology. This study analyzes the various da'wah strategies implemented by Islamic political institutions in Indonesia in broadcasting the teachings of Islam. The results show that effective strategies include the integration of Islamic values in the political agenda, the use of social media as a means of da'wah, a moderation approach in political communication, and a systematic cadre program. The main challenge lies in maintaining a balance between da'wah and politics so as not to be trapped in the politicization of religion, while the biggest opportunity lies in developing a moderate Islamic narrative that is relevant to the Indonesian context.

Religious moderation has become a serious concern for the government as it strives to maintain interfaith harmony in Indonesia. In 2019, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia published a book entitled Moderasi Beragama (Religious Moderation). In this publication, it is explained that the term “moderation” is derived from the Latin word denoting “balance” or “moderation” and from the Arabic term wasath or wasathiyah, which signifies centrality, fairness, and equilibrium. To achieve this ideal, it is necessary to design and expand interfaith meeting spaces – especially those aimed at young people (Generation Z) from diverse religious and belief backgrounds. The Cinunuk area is part of the pastoral care of the Santa Odilia-Cicadas Parish in Bandung and is home to approximately 350 Catholic households living in close proximity to their Muslim neighbors. On several occasions, the Catholic community in Cinunuk has organized joint community initiatives, such as free medical services and the distribution of essential food supplies. Furthermore, the Catholic community has previously engaged in interfaith activities with the Gusdurian group and has maintained positive relations with both the Attamur and Azzakiyyah Islamic boarding schools in the Cileunyi sub-district. To further strengthen intercommunal interactions and foster a dynamic dialogue between the Catholic community in Cinunuk and their Muslim counterparts in the region, a collaborative activity has been designed to reinforce the moderate stance that has been consistently practiced.

Indonesia as a multicultural country with religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity faces serious challenges in maintaining social harmony amidst increasing intolerance, extremism, and politicization of religion. In response, the government developed a religious moderation policy to instill just, balanced, and tolerant religious values. However, this policy has not been fully grounded in society, given the gap in understanding between state idealism and the developing social reality. This study aims to analyze the concept, implementation, and structural and cultural challenges in the implementation of religious moderation policies in Indonesia. The method used is a qualitative approach with the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) technique on various relevant national and international scientific publications in the period 2018–2024. The results of the study show that the implementation of this policy is still dominated by a formalistic approach and has not involved active participation from grassroots communities. In addition, ideological resistance, weak public communication, and minimal impact-based evaluation are the main challenges. Therefore, a more participatory, contextual, and local culture-based moderation approach is needed so that this policy does not just become a state project, but a shared life value.

This study aims to analyze the influence of accountability, transparency, rule of law, effectiveness, and efficiency on local government performance with supervision as a moderating variable in the Langkat Regency Government. This study uses an associative research method with a quantitative approach based on numbers. The study population consisted of 40 Regional Work Units (SKPD) with 120 respondents determined through purposive sampling techniques, with the criteria of heads of departments/agencies, secretaries, and treasurers who have served for at least the last five years. Primary data were obtained through distributing questionnaires using a Likert scale, and data analysis was carried out with the help of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results of the study indicate that the variables of accountability, transparency, rule of law, and effectiveness and efficiency have a positive and significant effect on local government performance. However, the results of the moderation test indicate that supervision only plays a significant role as a moderating variable in strengthening the relationship between the rule of law and local government performance. Meanwhile, supervision does not significantly moderate the relationship between accountability, transparency, and effectiveness and efficiency on local government performance. These findings are expected to be a consideration for local governments in improving the quality of governance, especially through strengthening the rule of law supported by an effective monitoring system.

Families with disabled members often face physical, emotional, social, and spiritual challenges. In this situation, the presence of Islamic religious instructors is essential to strengthen the mental and spiritual well-being of the family. This article aims to examine the strategic role of Islamic religious instructors in this context, an aspect that has not been widely studied before. Field research was conducted for two months, January–February 2025, at the Family Support Group in Wonosobo Regency, involving 27 respondents. The results of the study indicate that religious instructors have an important role in assisting families with disabilities. For this reason, a comprehensive and empathetic counseling strategy is needed, namely: an empathetic and conducive approach, a planned systematic approach, and a sustainable approach through networks. These three approaches are based on the principles of rahmatan lil 'alamin (compassion), wasathiyah (moderation), and participatory (involving the family as the subject). This article emphasizes the importance of the role of Islamic religious instructors, and recommends that the Ministry of Religion draft regulations that prioritize counseling services for families with disabilities.

This study aims to analyze the concept of religious moderation based on the perspective of Surah Al-Baqarah verse 126 and Surah Ali-Imran verse 159, as well as its implementation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach with a library research method, the study collects data from tafsir books, scientific journals, academic articles, and previous research. The analysis shows that according to the interpretations of Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurthubi, and Al-Misbah, the values of religious moderation include love for the homeland, justice, gentleness, non-violence, and consultation. The implementation of these values in PAI is carried out theoretically through the integration of moderation values into the curriculum and practically through educators’ role modeling, habituation of values in the learning process, and supporting programs such as field studies and cultural festivals. Evaluation of this implementation is conducted through monitoring and instruments such as questionnaires and daily habit trackers. This study emphasizes the importance of religious education that not only focuses on cognitive aspects but also builds a moderate character within students. Thus, religious moderation can be sustainably instilled to shape an Indonesian society that is just, harmonious, and tolerant.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed the way we understand and practice religion, including the spread of extremist religious ideologies. Religious moderation education has become an essential tool for strengthening national awareness by instilling values of tolerance, inclusivity, and love for the homeland. This education promotes a balanced and tolerant understanding of religion. However, a significant challenge arises from the overwhelming flow of information on the internet, which is not matched by adequate digital literacy. Therefore, religious moderation education serves as a filter to counter radicalization. This study uses a review research method with a qualitative approach to analyze the implementation of religious moderation education through formal, nonformal, and informal channels. The findings indicate that formal education is effective in instilling moderate character through a systematic structure. Nonformal institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools and study groups, also play a crucial role in spreading moderate Islamic values. Meanwhile, informal education within families provides a vital foundation for instilling these values from an early age. This study recommends strengthening the religious moderation curriculum, optimizing the role of nonformal institutions, and empowering families to enhance national awareness and address the potential for radicalization.  

Al-Ghazali's economic thought emphasizes balance in consumption and the importance of avoiding wastefulness and excess. However, in this digital era impulsive buying is increasingly prevalent, including among Muslims. This research is motivated by the behavior of Muslim consumers who tend to be more concerned with satisfaction than needs. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach, to analyze the application of Al-Ghazali's economic thought in consumption theory. This research method is designed to provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the application of Al-Ghazali's economic thought in the concept of consumption, especially the phenomenon of impulsive buying among Muslims in the digital era. The results show that the phenomenon of impulsive buying is increasingly widespread, triggered by easy access to information and products through digital platforms, as well as the influence of social media. This is often contrary to the principles of consumption taught by Al-Ghazali, who emphasized the importance of simplicity and moderation. This study recommends the need for awareness and education on consumption ethics in Islam to help avoid excessive consumption behavior and prioritize spiritual values in every act of consumption.

This study aims to analyze the impact of solvency, profitability, and liquidity on financial distress, with good corporate governance as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach with moderation regression analysis. The results indicate that solvency, profitability, and liquidity have a significant negative effect on financial distress, meaning that the better a company's financial condition in these aspects, the lower the potential for financial difficulties. Additionally, good corporate governance is proven to moderate the effect of solvency, profitability, and liquidity on financial distress, indicating that the application of good governance strengthens the negative relationship between these financial indicators and financial distress. These findings highlight the importance of corporate management in maintaining financial health and applying good corporate governance principles to minimize the risk of financial distress.
