This article provides a comprehensive examination of the application of the lex loci celebrationis principle in the execution of notarial deeds involving foreign legal subjects within the Indonesian legal system. The principle affirms that any authentic deed executed in Indonesia must comply with national legal requirements, regardless of the parties’ nationality or the existence of transnational legal relations. Through normative legal research employing statutory, conceptual, comparative, and case-study approaches, this article elucidates how the lex loci celebrationis principle interacts with private international law, particularly in relation to the legal capacity of foreign nationals, the use of foreign documents, and the limits of jurisdiction. The analysis reviews the Law on Notarial Office, the Indonesian Civil Code, population administration regulations, as well as doctrinal developments and jurisprudence pertaining to international legal acts. The findings indicate that although the substantive aspects of an agreement may refer to foreign law through lex voluntatis, the formal validity of a notarial deed remains entirely governed by Indonesian law. These findings underscore the need to enhance the competence of notaries in understanding the dynamics of private international law and highlight the importance of harmonizing national regulations with the principles of private international law to ensure legal certainty in cross-border transactions.

The implementation of agile governance principles has enabled quick wins, systematic and adaptive approaches, and continuous refinement, resulting in a successful and efficient online service for the community.

Divorce often creates new problems, one of which is related to child custody and visitation rights for parents who do not have custody. Prohibiting visitation by the custodial parent not only violates the rights of the non-custodial parent, but also disregards the child's right to receive affection from both parents. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of legal protection available to non-custodial parents who are prohibited from seeing their children. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach. Data collected from interviews with legal practitioners and parties who have experienced similar problems are included in this study. The results show that prohibiting parents who have custody from meeting their children is against the law and contrary to the principle of the best interests of the child. Parents who do not have custody rights can file a lawsuit to revoke custody rights, as stipulated in SEMA No. 1 January 2017. This study emphasizes the importance of the law in balancing the rights and obligations of parents after divorce for the best interests of the child.

India faces a persistent civic deficit reflected in weak civic sense, low compliance with public norms, and a structural imbalance between rights and duties. Although ancient Indian traditions emphasized collective responsibility, colonial legacies, institutional weaknesses, and growing socioeconomic disparities have eroded civic culture. This study employs qualitative content analysis using historical texts, constitutional provisions, judicial interpretations, comparative international case studies, and interdisciplinary scholarly literature. Thematic coding is used to analyze the socio-legal, political, and educational roots of India’s civic deficit. Findings reveal that India’s civic deficit stems from interconnected structural factors: weak enforcement of laws, lack of experiential civic education, limited trust in institutions, political interference, and socioeconomic inequality. Comparative insights from Japan, Nordic countries, Singapore, and Brazil demonstrate that civic sense improves when experiential education, strong institutional integrity, and participatory governance coexist. Addressing India’s civic deficit requires systemic reforms: reorienting civic education toward experiential learning, strengthening judicial independence, enforcing rules consistently, expanding participatory mechanisms, and promoting community-level ownership. Comparative models show that long-term cultural change requires both structural reforms and citizen-centered engagement.

Social conflict within labor collectives represents a recurrent phenomenon shaped by contradictions in interests, goals, and authority relations. Drawing on classical and contemporary sociological perspectives, this study examines how conflicts emerge, evolve, and can be effectively resolved in modern enterprises. This research employs a qualitative, literature-based approach through comprehensive analysis of theoretical writings by Parsons, Coser, Dahrendorf, Simmel, and Boulding, complemented by documented organizational studies such as the Hawthorne experiments. The method emphasizes conceptual interpretation, comparative theoretical analysis, and synthesis of conflict dynamics. Findings show that conflicts originate from both structural and psychological factors, including material dissatisfaction, violations of labor norms, personality differences, and unequal authority relations. Interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup conflicts follow identifiable stages—from latent tensions to escalation and resolution. Trade unions play a critical role in mediating disputes and promoting social partnership. Theoretical convergence indicates that conflict is multifactorial and inherent within organizational systems. When constructively managed, conflict can enhance group cohesion, clarify values, and contribute to organizational development. This highlights the necessity of socio-psychological awareness in modern management.

This study examines how climate justice principles can be integrated into fiscal governance frameworks to enhance accountability within global climate finance. As climate change intensifies economic vulnerabilities, particularly in developing countries, the allocation and oversight of climate finance have become critical determinants of equity and resilience. Current fiscal oversight mechanisms exhibit notable progress in transparency but remain insufficient in addressing fairness, distributive justice, and participation. Through a comparative institutional analysis of global financial institutions, national budget systems, and emerging technological tools, this study identifies persistent challenges—including fragmented accountability structures, lack of standardized reporting mechanisms, and political-economy dynamics that hinder equitable funding flows. The findings emphasize that climate finance often prioritizes procedural compliance over transformative outcomes, limiting its potential to reduce structural inequalities and build adaptive capacity. The study argues that accountability frameworks must evolve beyond conventional financial auditing, incorporating social and environmental metrics that reflect the moral imperatives of climate justice. By integrating participatory governance, digital innovations, and harmonized reporting standards, fiscal systems can foster more transparent, just, and impactful climate finance. This research contributes to the discourse on climate governance by proposing accountability reforms capable of linking financial decision-making with ethical considerations, thereby advancing global efforts toward a fair and resilient climate transition.

Overall, the program contributes to the advancement of participatory governance by embedding statistical literacy and digital tools into community-centered development processes.

This article examines the relevance of the madhhab approach in shaping contemporary Islamic law through a comprehensive literature review. Rapid developments in modern social, economic, and technological contexts require more adaptive legal methodologies, while the classical madhhabs remain essential for providing structured usul al-fiqh principles and methodological foundations. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which madhhabs still function as a methodological basis, how they interact with modern forms of ijtihad, and how contemporary scholars integrate classical heritage with present-day demands. Using a descriptive–thematic literature review method, data were collected from accredited journals, scholarly books, and contemporary fatwas. The findings indicate that the madhhab tradition remains relevant when interpreted dynamically and aligned with the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah). Madhhabs continue to serve as analytical frameworks that can be combined with modern ijtihad, collective reasoning, and interdisciplinary approaches to address emerging issues such as digital finance, bioethics, and technological advancements. However, the study also identifies inherent historical limitations within the madhhab system, which necessitate methodological renewal to maintain practical relevance in contemporary legal challenges. Overall, the article highlights the importance of harmonizing classical tradition with contextual approaches as a foundation for developing modern Islamic legal epistemology.

Deforestation remains a critical environmental and socio-political challenge in Indonesia, driven by economic expansion, weak regulatory enforcement, and competing development priorities. In recent decades, forest governance has increasingly involved non-state environmental actors that operate beyond formal state authority. This study examines the role of Greenpeace Indonesia as a non-state environmental actor in addressing deforestation within Indonesia’s forest governance framework during the period 2023–2025. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a library research design, the study analyzes secondary data drawn from academic literature, policy documents, organizational reports, and relevant media sources. The analysis is guided by theoretical perspectives on non-state actors, environmental diplomacy, role theory, and global environmental governance. The findings demonstrate that Greenpeace Indonesia plays a strategic role as an environmental watchdog and norm entrepreneur by conducting research-based advocacy, mobilizing public opinion, and engaging in informal environmental diplomacy. Through transnational campaigns and corporate-targeted advocacy, Greenpeace contributes to shaping environmental norms and influencing both state and corporate behavior related to deforestation. However, its effectiveness is constrained by political resistance, structural power asymmetries, and limited access to formal decision-making processes. This study highlights the significance of civil society actors in forest governance and underscores the need to integrate non-state contributions into more inclusive and accountable environmental governance frameworks.

This study analyzes the strategic role of digital transformation in accelerating the development of the green economy in Azerbaijan. As global economic systems shift toward sustainability-oriented models, Azerbaijan has begun integrating digital technologies—such as smart energy systems, geographic information platforms, and digital monitoring tools—into its environmental and economic policies. These initiatives are designed to reduce carbon intensity, enhance resource efficiency, and modernize industrial sectors in alignment with international climate standards. The study employs a qualitative library-based approach supported by content analysis to assess state programs, institutional reforms, and policy documents related to digital governance and renewable energy deployment. The findings indicate that digital solutions facilitate transparent decision-making, optimize energy consumption, and support ecological innovations, making them essential components of Azerbaijan’s national development agenda. However, the transition remains constrained by infrastructural disparities, limited technological competencies, and regulatory gaps. The study argues that sustainable development goals cannot be fully realized without comprehensive digital integration, institutional coordination, and capacity-building initiatives. Thus, digitalization is not merely a supportive tool but a foundational mechanism for the advancement of the green economy and long-term socio-economic transformation in Azerbaijan.

This community engagement program aims to strengthen the economic capacity of community groups in Azerbaijan through an integrated model combining artificial intelligence (AI)–supported learning, digital skills enhancement, and practical economic training. Although Azerbaijan has demonstrated rapid digital progress, micro-entrepreneurs still face challenges related to limited digital literacy, insufficient financial planning capabilities, and the absence of structured mentorship that integrates emerging technologies. This program utilizes a participatory development approach involving baseline assessment, AI-driven training modules, intensive workshops, and mentoring over two months. A total of 45 participants from three community clusters were included. Quantitative findings reveal a 63% increase in digital literacy scores and a 67% adoption rate of AI-supported tools for marketing and financial planning. Qualitative insights show improved confidence in business decision-making, better understanding of market dynamics, and enhanced practical skills in budgeting and content creation. Participants also reported early indicators of improved sales performance and customer engagement. The integration of AI tools into community-based capacity-building initiatives demonstrates high effectiveness in accelerating digital readiness and entrepreneurial resilience. The program concludes that structured AI-based interventions can significantly empower grassroots communities in emerging economies. Limitations include the small sample size and short mentoring duration. Future research should explore larger populations and long-term economic outcomes.

This research undertakes a comparative analysis of the concept of divorce within the frameworks of Islamic Family Law and Buddhist Ethics. Marriage, recognized as a profound bond of both physical and spiritual union, holds significant value in both religious traditions. However, contemporary social realities reveal a high incidence of divorce, prompting a critical examination of the legal and ethical mechanisms governing its dissolution. Within Islamic jurisprudence, divorce (talak) is permitted but considered detestable by Allah, governed by stringent procedural mechanisms including talak (the husband’s right), khulu’ or gugat cerai (the wife’s right to initiate), and fasakh (judicial intervention). These processes carry clear legal implications concerning the waiting period (iddah), the possibility of reconciliation (rujuk), and the division of marital property. Conversely, while Buddhism does not explicitly prohibit divorce, the teachings of the Buddha strongly encourage spouses to exhaust all avenues for peaceful conflict resolution before considering separation as a last resort. The ethical framework in Buddhism grants equal rights to both parties to dissolve the marriage. This study employs a qualitative descriptive analytical method through library research, drawing upon primary legal texts such as Indonesia’s Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) for Muslims, alongside the Vinaya Pitaka for adherents of Buddhism. The findings indicate that while both traditions view divorce as a final option, they diverge fundamentally in their legal structures; Islamic law establishes specific, gender-differentiated rights and obligations, whereas Buddhist ethics emphasize mutual consent and personal responsibility without formal legalistic procedures. The research concludes by recommending that couples, regardless of faith, prioritize reconciliation and peace, aligning with the core principles of both religions, and urges policymakers and legal practitioners to promote harmonious family life and reconsider legal frameworks that might better serve the welfare of children and families.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed the economic landscape, particularly in payment systems that are shifting from conventional cash transactions to the use of Electronic Money (E-Money). E-Money has become increasingly popular due to the convenience it offers, allowing users to conduct transactions anytime and anywhere without the need to carry physical cash. As this payment innovation continues to expand, it is essential to examine whether its mechanisms comply with Islamic principles, given that the use of E-Money is closely related to the values of muamalah in Islam. This study aims to identify the underlying contractual structure (akad) governing Mandiri E-Money transactions and to assess its conformity with sharia principles. It further analyzes the potential presence of gharar, riba, or maisir within the top-up and transaction processes, as well as the sharia mitigation mechanisms that may be applied. The research employs a normative approach based on classical and contemporary Islamic legal theory, supported by observational analysis of Mandiri E-Money practices. Data were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive method and maqashid al-shariah reasoning. The findings indicate that the use of Mandiri E-Money does not involve elements of riba, gharar, or maisir, and therefore does not deviate from sharia principles. These potential risks were examined through fiqh legal maxims and DSN-MUI fatwas to ensure comprehensive sharia compliance.

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) holds a very important role in shaping children’s character, moral values, and foundational knowledge. As an effort to support the success of education, good quality learning outcomes are required as a benchmark for children’s holistic development. In this context, educator management becomes one of the keys to improving the quality of learning outcomes. PAUD Al-Qur’an (PAUDQU) is an early childhood education institution that prioritizes Al-Qur’an education and Al-Qur’an memorization (tahfidz) as its institutional uniqueness. The findings of this research show that the educator management implemented in PAUDQU in Setu Bekasi District is quite good, as almost all elements within the scope of educator management have been carried out by the school. However, there are several obstacles found in its implementation, such as the educators’ competencies that have not been maximized, particularly in Al-Qur’an recitation (tahsin) and tahfidz, as well as the promotion, compensation, and educator assessment systems that are not yet well-structured. KIPAS EVA, an acronym for Competence Implementation Evaluation Appreciation, was developed with the expectation of being easier to remember, thus supporting the process of applying educator management in the future. This management strategy emphasizes educator planning by strengthening competencies, professional learning implementation by educators, continuous educator evaluation, and providing appreciation to increase educator motivation.

This qualitative study examines the Public Service Performance Gap at the Ponorogo Regency Transportation Agency (Dishub) in managing high-risk traffic assets, which stems from the failure to synergise Normative Governance with operational Public Asset Management (MAP). Utilising Edwards III's Policy Implementation Model and GG/NPS principles, the core finding indicates that synergy failure is mediated by a Reactive Bureaucratic Disposition. While Dishub adheres procedurally, asset maintenance is largely reactive—performed only after damage or public complaint—not preventive. This non-responsive attitude limits accountability to reporting outputs disconnected from physical service outcomes, leading to low service quality. The proposed substantive solution is to activate Community Involvement (NPS) as a key moderator, which is currently weak, by integrating Functional Participation into the agile MAP cycle. The research recommends an e-governance system with KPIs, where transparently integrated citizen reports automatically trigger work orders, creating external public accountability pressure that forces the reactive bureaucracy to act proactively.

This study examines the Sufistic dimension in the syafahî interpretation of Habib Muhammad Luthfi bin Yahya regarding the verses of nationality in the Qur’an. Habib Luthfi was chosen as the object because he is a Sufi scholar as well as a national figure who consistently conveys Qur’anic interpretation through oral media, and his ideas demonstrate a combination of Sufi spirituality and nationalism. This study employs a qualitative method with primary data sources in the form of recorded lectures, religious gatherings, and direct interviews, as well as secondary data consisting of scientific literature related to tafsir, Sufism, and nationality. The analysis is carried out through a descriptive-analytical-comparative approach by paying attention to the methodology of tafsir and its Sufistic context. The results of the study indicate that the syafahî interpretation of Habib Luthfi is characterized as Sufistic-thematic with an approach of tafsir bi al-isyâri and bi al-ra’yi al-maqbûl which still rests on the framework of tafsir bi al-ma’tsûr. His interpretation of six verses of nationality emphasizes the value of love for the homeland, obedience to leaders, jihad in social-moral dimensions, the unity of the ummah, collective gratitude in national development, and respect for diversity as part of sunnatullah. Thus, this study affirms that Sufism can function as an ethical foundation of nationality as well as a model of Qur’anic interpretation that is relevant to contemporary Indonesian reality.
