JURNAL ILMIAH PENDIDIKAN KEBUDAYAAN DAN AGAMA 2026 CV. ALIM'SPUBLISHING

The phenomenon of infinite scrolling in digital media reflects a fundamental shift in how modern individuals experience spirituality in the digital era. The continuous flow of information creates new spaces for the search for meaning, including the human relationship with the Divine, while simultaneously introducing challenges in the form of constant distraction that disrupts deep reflection. This study aims to analyze how infinite scrolling contributes to a crisis of spiritual awareness and how digital technology functions as an ambivalent space between distraction and reflection. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach, using relevant academic literature and religious documents. The findings indicate that intensive digital engagement reduces opportunities for contemplation, weakens reflective capacity, and produces shallow and fragmented spiritual experiences. However, digital technology also provides broad access to spiritual resources that can be used constructively. This study concludes that the crisis of spiritual awareness in the digital era is influenced not only by individual factors but also by technological structures shaping human attention. Therefore, digital literacy that includes ethical and spiritual dimensions is essential to ensure technology supports the search for meaning.

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital experience and customer experience on passenger loyalty on the Progo Train route, Pasar Senen–Lempuyangan. The increasing digitalization of public transportation services through the Access by KAI application has highlighted the importance of examining the quality of digital experience and customer experience in maintaining passenger loyalty. The study employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. Data were collected from 150 respondents through a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software (Ringle et al., 2024). The results of the outer model evaluation showed that all indicators had outer loadings > 0.70, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) > 0.50, Composite Reliability (CR) and Cronbach's alpha > 0.70, thus all constructs were declared valid and reliable. The inner model test shows that digital experience has a positive and significant effect on passenger loyalty (β = 0.192; T = 2.237; p = 0.025). Customer experience also has a positive and significant effect on passenger loyalty (β = 0.243; T = 3.268; p = 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.133 indicates that both variables explain 13.3% of the variance in passenger loyalty. The customer experience variable has a more dominant influence than digital experience on Progo Train passenger loyalty.

This study examines the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles as a sustainability instrument for consumer cooperatives from the perspective of Islamic economics. Consumer cooperatives, as people-based economic institutions, face significant challenges in maintaining sustainability amid rapid economic transformation and increasing demands for corporate accountability. ESG, as a global framework for measuring sustainability performance, is considered relevant to the values of Islamic economics which emphasize justice, transparency, social benefit, and environmental responsibility. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature study and document analysis to formulate a conceptual model of ESG implementation in consumer cooperatives based on Islamic economic principles. The findings show that ESG dimensions are in line with maqashid al-syariah, namely the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Environmental aspects correlate with the stewardship principle of khalifah fil ardh, while social aspects align with the concept of takaful ijtima’i, and governance reflects the values of amanah and shura. This study offers a conceptual framework for integrating ESG within the cooperative institutional governance system as a strategic step toward sustainable and equitable economic development.

Changes in work patterns driven by digital technology development and post-pandemic dynamics have encouraged organizations to implement Work From Home (WFH) as an alternative working system. This policy has attracted considerable attention because it affects employee productivity and well-being, which are essential for organizational performance. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the effectiveness of WFH. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of WFH on employee productivity and well-being. A qualitative approach was employee using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing 19 scientific articles related to productivity, job satisfaction, work-life balance, and mental health. The findings show that 89,5% of articles reported positive effects of WFH through greater flexibility, work comfort, time efficiency, and improved work-life balance, wich contribute to higher productivity and well-being. Meanwhile, 10,5% identified negative effects due to inadequate work facilities, internet disruptions, burnout, and coordination difficulties. These findings indicate that WFH effectiveness is influenced by technological support, job characteristics, and organizational culture. The study implies that organizations should adopt adaptive work policies, strengthen digital infrastructure, and provide mental health support to optimize employee productivity and well-being.

This research aims to analyze the gap between the profit-sharing principle as the normative foundation of Islamic economics and the risk management practices applied in sharia cooperatives, considering the ongoing inconsistencies in the implementation of the risk-sharing principle. The research method employs a qualitative approach thru literature study with thematic and comparative analysis techniques on relevant academic literature. The results and discussion indicate that sharia cooperatives tend to adopt a conventional risk management paradigm oriented toward institutional stability, thereby triggering the dominance of non-profit-sharing contracts and the shift of the concept of risk sharing to risk shifting in operational practices. The gap is influenced by structural factors, including limitations in managerial capacity, information asymmetry, potential moral hazard, and pressures of institutional sustainability. This study concludes that the risk management practices of sharia cooperatives do not fully reflect the principles of Islamic economics, thus necessitating a reconstruction of a more integrative and contextual risk management model. As a suggestion, sharia cooperatives need to develop a risk management framework based on risk sharing that is adaptive to operational risks without disregarding the values of justice and partnership as the main characteristics of Islamic economics.

This study investigates why applicants who have passed the initial admissions stage do not proceed to final enrolment in an Indonesian private higher education context. While student recruitment is often measured by the number of applications received, institutional sustainability depends on the ability to convert applicants into enrolled students. This study employed a descriptive survey design supported by thematic analysis of open-ended responses. Data were collected from 179 applicants who had participated in the admissions process but did not complete final re-registration. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and thematic categorization. The findings show that conversion failure is influenced by several factors, including waiting for public university admission results, financial constraints, postponement of study plans, family considerations, uncertainty about the institution or study programmed, preference for other institutions, and campus accessibility. A key finding reveals that 58.1% of respondents would reconsider enrolment if scholarships, tuition discounts, or other financial assistance were available. These findings highlight the need for a conversion management strategy through targeted financial aid, transparent cost communication, family engagement, and proactive applicant follow-up.

Radiological examination is a diagnostic supporting procedure aimed at visualizing the internal structures of the human body to assist in establishing a diagnosis. One of the examinations performed is the Acromioclavicular Joint examination, which is used to identify abnormalities of the acromioclavicular joint. This study aims to compare the imaging results of the Acromioclavicular Joint using the anteroposterior (AP) projection with a 3 kg weight and the AP projection without a weight. The study was conducted at the Radiology Laboratory of STIKES Boneo Nusantara, Diploma III Radiology Study Program, using a conventional radiography unit and a quantitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation and questionnaires. The results showed that the examination using a 3 kg weight produced clearer Acromioclavicular Joint images than the examination performed without a weight. The difference was reflected in the improved visualization of the anatomical structures, thereby facilitating a more accurate assessment of the joint. This study concludes that the use of a 3 kg weight in the AP projection provides superior imaging results by enhancing the visualization of the anatomy of the shoulder joint, thereby potentially improving the accuracy of the radiological evaluation of the Acromioclavicular Joint.

This research documents and analyzes the variations of banana (gedhang) names in the Southern Brebes dialect of the Javanese language from a sociolinguistic viewpoint. The study explores how language reflects social and cultural realities within a local community. Indonesia’s vast cultural and linguistic diversity makes the study of regional registers essential for understanding how people use language to represent their environment. The Southern Brebes area shows a wide range of banana varieties, each identified by distinct local names that convey information about their physical traits, uses, and cultural significance. These linguistic variations also have educational potential, particularly as supplementary materials for courses such as Pharmaceutical Botany. The research further examines social, cultural, and environmental factors shaping the creation and usage of these names. Findings are expected to enhance understanding of the Javanese lexical system especially the Southern Brebes dialect and to highlight the deep connection between language, culture, and identity. Ultimately, this study contributes to the preservation of local linguistic and cultural heritage.

The stock market is a place to buy shares for profit. In Indonesia, energy stocks are highly unpredictable because global commodity prices change constantly. This study examines what affected energy stock returns in 2024, focusing on trading volume, price swings, company profits, and cash flow. Using financial reports and statistical analysis, all these factors were tested together and individually. The results show that combined, all these factors do affect stock returns. However, when looked at one by one, only the company's net profit truly matters to investors. On the other hand, busy trading, daily price swings, and cash flow have no impact at all. In fact, all the factors studied only account for 14% of stock return movements, while the remaining 86% is driven by other outside forces. In conclusion, for those looking to invest in energy stocks, the most important thing to watch is the company's ability to generate net profit, rather than just looking at how busy daily transactions are in the market.

The use of hermeneutics in Qur'anic studies has long generated debate among Muslim scholars. Some view hermeneutics as a methodological tool that can bridge the historical distance between the revealed text and contemporary life, whereas others regard it as an epistemological threat that may weaken the authority of the Qur'an. This article aims to analyze the arguments of both proponents and critics and to identify possible areas of convergence. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and library research, this study examines relevant works by scholars who support and oppose the application of hermeneutics in Qur'anic interpretation. The findings show that proponents, such as Fazlur Rahman, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, and Mohammed Arkoun, argue that hermeneutics can enrich interpretive methods and help contextualize meaning. Conversely, critics, such as Adian Husaini and scholars who emphasize the authority of established tafsir traditions, argue that hermeneutics emerged from the problems of Biblical interpretation and therefore cannot be applied directly to the Qur'an, which is believed to retain its authenticity. The study concludes that the debate stems from different theological assumptions about text, revelation, and interpretation. It recommends the selective adaptation of hermeneutics as a supporting analytical tool, not as a replacement for the science of tafsir.

The Society 5.0 era brings major changes in various aspects of life, including the economic and financial systems. The integration of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and Financial Technology (Fintech) has created both opportunities and challenges for the development of the sharia economy. This article aims to: (1) analyze the challenges of the sharia economy in the Society 5.0 era, (2) identify opportunities that can be utilized to strengthen the sharia economy, and (3) formulate strategies for strengthening the sharia economy based on digital transformation and the maqashid sharia. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature study (library research) by analyzing various journals, books, reports of sharia financial institutions, and relevant official documents. The results show that the sharia economy faces challenges in the form of low sharia financial literacy, limited human resources, unequal access to technology, and regulations that are not yet fully adaptive to digital developments. However, Society 5.0 also opens up significant opportunities through the development of Islamic Fintech, the digitalization of the halal industry, the optimization of digital zakat and waqf, and the strengthening of Islamic financial inclusion. Therefore, strategies to strengthen the Islamic economy need to be implemented through increasing Islamic digital literacy, developing an Islamic Fintech ecosystem, strengthening Governance based on the principles of Islamic principles (maqasid) and synergy between the government, academia, industry, and the community.

This study examines the transformation of the authority of Islamic courts in Indonesia across the colonial and post-colonial periods and their contribution to the formation of national law. Employing a normative-juridical method with historical, statutory, and conceptual approaches drawn from library sources, the research traces how a once-autonomous Islamic judicial institution was reshaped by Dutch colonial legal politics, from the recognition implied by the receptio in complexu theory to the systematic reduction of competence under the receptie theory through Staatsblad 1882 No. 152 and Staatsblad 1937 No. 116 and 610. The findings show that the colonial intervention narrowed the jurisdiction of religious courts, particularly by removing inheritance disputes, yet did not extinguish their existence. After independence, the receptie exit and receptie a contrario theories provided the ideological basis for restoring Islamic judicial authority, institutionalized through the establishment of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Law No. 14 of 1970, Law No. 1 of 1974, Law No. 7 of 1989, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and Law No. 3 of 2006. The study implies that the religious court has become an integral pillar of the national judicial system rather than a colonial remnant.
