This research is motivated by the view that literary works, including children's films, serve not only as entertainment but also as a means of moral learning that plays an essential role in shaping children's character. The film Paddington (2014) was chosen because it features an innocent main character who can represent moral values ​​through simple actions and dialogue. The purpose of this study is to describe how the main character's innocence is depicted in the film and how these moral values can serve as a learning medium for children. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis. Data were obtained through observations of scenes, dialogues, and the main character's actions that demonstrate innocence and the moral values ​​contained therein. The results show that Paddington's innocence manifests in honesty, politeness, trust, and a high level of curiosity, though this often leads to misunderstandings or chaos. This innocence serves as a medium for conveying moral values ​​such as responsibility, empathy, and learning from mistakes. The implications of this study indicate that children's films can be an effective means of character education if studied and accompanied by an understanding of the moral values ​​contained therein.

The animated film KPop Demon Hunters quickly became a worldwide hit, reaching the top of Netflix's global charts with over 33 million views in just two weeks. The highly acclaimed film KPop Demon Hunters has been the subject of some research due to its notable accomplishment. Yet, none of the research above discusses the symbolism that is richly put in the movie. Thus, the research attempts to elaborate on the representation of symbolism in order to provide an alternative viewpoint of the Kpop Demon Hunters, particularly the well-known villain, the Saja Boys. In order to study the underlying meaning of the Saja Boys, the author employs the qualitative method and applies Vrabel's study of deadly sin in relation to the religious symbol. This study concludes that the members of the Saja Boys represent symbolism of the deadly sins, which are anger, envy, greed, lust, pride, gluttony, and sloth. These vices are shown from the behavior of the Saja Boys, such as barking towards fans aggressively, being envious of one’s freedom and happiness, stocking food as much as possible, giving sexual gratification through physical appearance, and being overly proud of it. Not only that, the members of Saja Boys also portrayed the action of overconsumption and laziness.

This study aims to comprehensively describe the psychological dynamics of Natta's character in the novel Rumah Tanpa Cahaya through the framework of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The main focus of the study is to analyze the structural interactions of personality including the Id, Ego, and Superego, and to identify various self defense mechanisms activated by the character due to the internal conflict he experiences. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literary psychology approach as the main analytical basis for dissecting the hidden inner character. The results of the study indicate that Natta's character's behavior is a form of integrative struggle that demands immediate gratification (Id), rational consideration of painful reality (Ego), and strong moral pressure from the internalization of social norms (Superego). Natta's Id demands the fulfillment of basic needs for security and affection. Meanwhile, the Superego provides moral pressure that triggers disproportionate anxiety. Natta's Ego operates as a mediator that works hard to balance the drives of the Id and the demands of the Superego, which forces the Ego to activate self-defense mechanisms such as repression, rationalization, and especially sublimation. This mechanism serves as a psychic barrier to maintain her mental stability and prevent her from experiencing total collapse due to the accumulation of past trauma. Overall, this novel depicts the complexity of the human psyche in the face of existential crises and unresolved past wounds.

This study analyzes the sociolinguistic phenomena of code-switching and code-mixing in the academic context of students in Pekalongan, Central Java. As a region with diverse backgrounds dominated by the Pekalongan dialect (Ngapak Javanese), interactions between students create space for complex language dynamics. This study aims to identify variations, roles, and factors that cause code-switching and code-mixing in student interactions. The method applied is descriptive qualitative with data collection through inactive participant observation, recording, and in-depth interviews at various universities in Pekalongan. Data analysis is carried out through the steps of data reduction, data presentation, and verification using triangulation techniques. The results show that the application of language codes is divided into two categories: an internal category that includes Indonesian and regional languages (Javanese), and an external category that includes foreign languages (English or Arabic). Code-mixing can be found at the word, phrase, and clause levels. The main factors that drive this phenomenon include participants, conversation themes, situational circumstances, and the purpose of communication in building solidarity among group members (ingroup).  The Pekalongan dialect plays a crucial role as a means of communication to build closeness and demonstrate local identity, amidst the need to use formal language on campus. This research concludes that code-switching and code-mixing are not merely linguistic phenomena, but also ways in which students adapt socially to balance their cultural identity with academic demands.  

Arabic holds an important position in Islamic education as the language of the Qur'an and Hadith. However, the teaching of Arabic in Islamic educational institutions often focuses only on linguistic aspects, thus not fully achieving the goals of comprehensive Islamic education. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of Arabic language education objectives from the perspective of Islamic Tarbiyah. The method used in this study is qualitative, with a literature study and descriptive analysis approach. The analysis was conducted on relevant sources. The findings indicate that Arabic education within the framework of Islamic Tarbiyah not only emphasizes mastery of language skills but also the importance of shaping students' faith, morals, and Islamic character. The integration of tarbawi values into the objectives, materials, methods, and evaluation of learning becomes a key element in creating Arabic language education that is valuable and aligned with the goals of Islamic education. Its implications are expected to serve as a reference for curriculum development, teacher competence improvement, as well as the formulation of contextual, integrative, and sustainable Arabic language learning policies in national Islamic educational institutions.

Background: The development of industrial technology in the Industry 4.0 era has encouraged the implementation of intelligent monitoring systems to improve machine reliability and operational efficiency. However, machine fault diagnosis systems based on artificial intelligence often face limitations in terms of interpretability because the models used are complex and difficult to explain. Objective: This study aims to develop a deep learning-based industrial machine fault diagnosis system integrated with an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approach to improve diagnostic accuracy while providing interpretable insights for users. Method: The research method involves collecting data from industrial machine sensors consisting of vibration signals, temperature measurements, and acoustic signals, followed by data preprocessing and feature extraction processes. The processed data are then used to train a deep learning-based diagnostic model, after which explainability methods such as SHAP or LIME are applied to analyze the contribution of each feature to the model’s prediction results. Model performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. Results: The results indicate that the proposed deep learning model achieves better performance compared to conventional machine learning methods such as Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. Furthermore, the explainability analysis reveals that vibration amplitude, increases in machine component temperature, and anomalies in acoustic signals are the main factors influencing machine fault detection. Therefore, the proposed system not only improves the accuracy of machine fault diagnosis but also provides transparency in the decision-making process, thereby supporting the implementation of predictive maintenance in smart manufacturing environments.

The epistemology of modern science develops with the assumption that neutrality and objectivity distinguish facts from values. This belief leads to the reduction of values, especially those related to ethical, metaphysical, and spiritual values, during the development of science. The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of value reduction in the epistemology of modern science and to examine the Islamization of science as an epistemic alternative. This research method is qualitative, literature-based, and critical-philosophical. Epistemological critiques of value-free science, based on positivism and modern empiricism, and a study of the theory of the Islamization of science by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and Ismail Raji al-Faruqi are used to complete the analysis. The results of this study indicate that the epistemological separation between facts and values ​​in contemporary science leads to a decline in values. The Islamization of science offers an alternative epistemic framework that positions science as a meaningful, valuable, and goal-oriented activity. Thus, without rejecting the methodological progress of contemporary science, it remains a plausible option. Despite lingering problems with the methodological formulation, this article asserts that the Islamization of science is relevant as a theoretical response to the crisis of values ​​in the epistemology of modern science.

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-discipline and burnout (Thīna-Middha) on active participation in religious activities among Buddhist adolescents aged 15–18 in Central Java. The approach used is quantitative with a survey method, and the sampling technique is cluster sampling. The instrument used is a semantic differential scale questionnaire to measure self-discipline, burnout, and active participation. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each variable on active participation. The results show that self-discipline has a positive and significant effect on active participation in Buddhist religious activities, while burnout has a negative and significant effect. These two variables contribute 41.1% to active participation in religious activities. These findings highlight the importance of self-discipline as a factor that drives active participation, as well as the negative impact of burnout on adolescents' involvement in religious activities. The implications of this study can be used as a basis for designing more effective and targeted programs for Buddhist adolescents, considering the factors of self-discipline and efforts to mitigate burnout. These programs need to be tailored to the spiritual and psychological needs of adolescents to enhance their active participation in religious activities.

This study aims to explore the phenomenon of fundraising conducted in the name of Buddhism and humanity in Kisaran City, North Sumatra, using a qualitative approach. Data was collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with the participants, and document analysis related to the fundraising activities that had been conducted. The research findings show that fundraising is carried out in various forms, such as food donations, social activities, and online donations. All of these activities are rooted in Buddhist values, particularly dana (giving) and karuna (compassion). The use of digital technology, especially online donation platforms, has increased community participation and transparency in the fundraising process. However, the study also identified challenges such as the lack of accountability in managing the funds and the risk of misuse that could undermine public trust. In this context, transparency and active community involvement are essential to building trust and ensuring the effectiveness of religious philanthropy. The study concludes that the sustainability of Buddhist fundraising practices in modern society can be achieved by combining spiritual integrity, good governance, and appropriate technology adaptation. Through this holistic approach, Buddhism-based fundraising can remain relevant and effective in supporting humanitarian activities in the digital age.

This study examines the dynamics of Buddhist religious counseling services in North Kalimantan Province in the post-pandemic period, particularly focusing on satisfaction levels and the distribution of counselors across districts. Using a quantitative approach with descriptive and correlational designs, the study involved a population of 9 Buddhist counselors and 3,993 congregants, with 98 selected respondents. Satisfaction levels were measured using the SERVQUAL framework, which evaluates service quality through five key dimensions. Findings show an overall satisfaction score of 3.65 (out of 5), categorized as “satisfied.” The highest rating was in the assurance dimension, reflecting public trust in counselor competence. However, empathy and responsiveness dimensions scored lower, especially in regions with few or no assigned counselors. A Pearson correlation analysis yielded a weak positive relationship (r = 0.214) between counselor-to-congregant ratios and satisfaction scores, emphasizing that equitable distribution is more crucial than sheer numbers. This research underscores the urgent need for needs-based distribution policies and hybrid service strategies that combine digital and in-person modalities. The results offer important policy implications, highlighting that spiritual service equity contributes to social cohesion and emotional well-being, especially in pluralistic and geographically dispersed regions.
