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.  

The study examines John 15:1–8, highlighting its Christological, ecclesiological dimensions, and pastoral implications in a contemporary context, particularly in West Kalimantan. Employing an exegetical approach integrated with theological reflection, the metaphor of the “true vine” is understood as a declaration of Jesus’ identity as the source of authentic life and the relational foundation of the community of disciples. The concept of “abiding” is interpreted as an ongoing existential connectedness with Christ, expressed through practices of faith such as engagement with the Word, prayer, and love. Meanwhile, “bearing fruit” is not merely ethical output but an authentic manifestation of life grounded in this relational union. Furthermore, the study argues that Johannine ecclesiology is organic in nature, portraying the church as a living community deriving its existence from and in Christ, rather than a purely institutional structure. The pastoral implications of this metaphor are significant in addressing local challenges such as individualism, ecological crisis, religious plurality, and the spiritual formation of youth. Using a praxis–reflection–praxis framework, the text is integrated into theological education as a model linking faith reflection with concrete action. The findings affirm that Christ-centered spirituality fosters personal and communal transformation relevant to the contemporary church.

The study critically examines the Gospel of John as a theological text integrating the incarnate Logos and sacramental symbolism. Using a qualitative, library-based approach with historical-critical and hermeneutical analysis, it shows that John’s Gospel not only narrates Jesus’ life but constructs a symbolic, existential, and transformative theological reflection. The Logos shifts from a metaphysical principle to a personal reality in history through the incarnation, enabling a concrete encounter between God and humanity. Within this framework, symbols such as water and bread function as media of revelation guiding individuals toward a living, relational faith experience. Furthermore, sacramental symbolism in the Gospel of John is ontologically grounded in the incarnation of the Logos. Faith is thus understood not merely as intellectual assent but as participation in divine life that transforms human existence. The integration of Christological and sacramental dimensions indicates that faith is holistic, encompassing spiritual, material, and relational aspects. Thus, the Gospel of John presents a theological vision of faith as a concrete and dynamic existential encounter, relevant for contemporary theological reflection.

This study aims to analyze the discrepancy between regulations and social realities in fulfilling the right to education in Indonesia. Normatively, the state has established a strong legal framework to guarantee the right to education, as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution and various educational policies. However, in practice, there remains a significant gap between policy and actual conditions in society. This research employs a qualitative approach using a juridical-normative method combined with an empirical (sociological) approach. Data were collected through library research from various sources, including laws and regulations, academic journals, and reports from official institutions. The findings indicate that the discrepancy is reflected in three main aspects: unequal distribution of educational facilities, disparities in the quality of education, and the existence of children who have not accessed education. These issues are influenced by factors such as limited infrastructure, unequal distribution of teachers, geographical challenges, and socio-economic conditions. Therefore, it can be concluded that the fulfillment of the right to education in Indonesia has not been fully optimal due to ineffective and non-adaptive policy implementation. Hence, more comprehensive and contextual efforts are required to achieve an equitable, inclusive, and accessible education system for all.

This study aims to analyze the bankruptcy process of PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk (Sritex) according to Law Number 37 of 2004. In addition, the legal impact on its subsidiary, PT Primayudha Mandirijaya in Boyolali, including legal protection for affected employees, will also  yang be reviewed. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Data were obtained through a literature review of relevant regulations and legal literature. The results of the study indicate that although PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk has been declared bankrupt by the commercial court, legally, the assets of PT Primayudha Mandirijaya as a subsidiary do not immediately become part of the bankruptcy estate of its parent company. This is based on the principle that the legal entity is independent (separate legal entity) and its responsimerupakan bilities are limited (limited liability), which separates the assets in question from the parent company and the subsidiary, unless there is evidence indicating a guarantee from the company (corporate guarantee). Furthermore, the legal study on labor protection emphasizes that the rights of PT Primayudha Mandirijaya employees need to be legally protected in accordance with national labor regulations and bankruptcy law to mitigate the social and economic impacts in the Boyolali region. The study concludes that the legal existence of the subsidiary remains independent despite the bankruptcy of its parent company. However, it is crucial to prioritize contractual risk reduction and worker rights security during the curator's handling.

This study aims to analyze the political culture of the community in supporting the implementation of social assistance programs in Rantau Indah Village, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to understand community political culture through cognitive, affective, and evaluative orientations toward social assistance programs. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving village officials, RT/RW leaders, and social assistance beneficiaries. The findings indicate that community political culture plays an important role in supporting the implementation of social assistance programs. In the cognitive aspect, most people understand the existence and objectives of social assistance, although some still have limited understanding of beneficiary criteria. In the affective aspect, the community shows trust in village officials despite perceptions of inequality in aid distribution. Meanwhile, the evaluative aspect reflects community participation in supervision and feedback. Overall, community political culture tends to be participatory in supporting social assistance implementation. The study also reveals that transparent communication, active community involvement, and accountability of village authorities contribute significantly to strengthening public trust and improving the effectiveness of program implementation. Community participation in monitoring and evaluating the distribution process helps minimize potential conflicts and encourages greater transparency. These findings suggest that strengthening political awareness, enhancing public access to information, and promoting participatory governance are essential to ensure that social assistance programs are implemented fairly, effectively, and sustainably while improving community welfare and reinforcing good local governance practices.

The development of an economic activity in a city is often one of the influences on changes in the use of residential space in the surrounding area. One of the phenomena that we can see in big cities in Indonesia is the use of residences as rental housing such as boarding houses and rents aimed especially at workers in foreign areas. This study aims to analyze the use of residential space by the community as temporary residence for employees of Mie Gacoan restaurant in Serang City, Banten, and see how it affects the spatial dynamics of the residential area. This study uses a primary and secondary data-based case study method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study show that the existence of economic activities around residential areas can encourage an increase in the need for temporary housing for workers in rural areas. This phenomenon makes some people take advantage of their residences by making them rental residences such as boarding houses and rented ones. This can affect the spatial structure of the residential area, such as increasing population density, increasing activities in the residential environment, and the presence of small economic activities by the community. Therefore, this phenomenon states that the development of economic activity in an urban area can trigger changes in the use of space in the surrounding residential area.

The practice of money politics remains a serious challenge in the implementation of the 2024 General Election and the 2024 Regional Elections in Indonesia, as it has the potential to undermine the principles of fairness, honesty, and democratic integrity. This study aims to analyze the role of the Election Organizer Ethics Council (DKPP) in adjudicating violations related to money politics, particularly from the ethical perspective of election organizers. The method used is a qualitative approach through literature study of laws, regulations, and DKPP decisions. The findings indicate that DKPP plays a strategic role in maintaining the neutrality and professionalism of election organizers by enforcing the code of ethics, imposing sanctions, and supervising behaviors that may involve or tolerate money politics practices. Although DKPP's authority is limited to the ethical domain and does not extend to criminal law enforcement, its existence remains crucial as a moral guardian within the electoral system. Therefore, synergy between DKPP, law enforcement institutions, and public participation is necessary to minimize money politics and to realize democratic and integrity-based elections.

Car Free Night (CFN) activities, which are held periodically in urban public spaces, have become one of the local government's strategies to support emission reduction and empower Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to analyze the economic impact of CFN implementation on MSMEs in the handicraft sector in Sumbawa Regency. The method used is a mixed methods approach through a quantitative survey of 30 craft MSME actors and in-depth qualitative interviews with five key informants from government agencies, business actors, and visitors. The results show that the implementation of CFN has a positive impact on increasing MSME turnover by an average of 30-40% per event, opening up new market access, and strengthening the existence of local culture through regional craft products. However, the challenges faced include limited production capacity, suboptimal digital marketing, and dependence on physical events. Therefore, sustainable policy interventions are needed in the form of business management training, integrated digital promotion, and MSME support facilities in public spaces. This study reinforces previous findings that creative public spaces such as CFN contribute significantly to local economic growth.

The term "breach of contract" in contract law refers to a breach of promise. Discussions of breach of contract, both in doctrine and jurisprudence, are usually associated with a statement of negligence by the debtor, where the debtor has failed to properly fulfill their contractual obligations, and the debtor is at fault. It must be acknowledged that a breach of contract, or breach of promise, already involves bad faith on the part of the party failing to fulfill their promise. The meaning of "breach of contract" in banking law relates to the occurrence of problem loans at banks, which cause the loan to become non-performing. This is usually due to the debtor or customer not paying by the previously agreed payment date. The existence of a breach of contract is inseparable from the existence of a credit agreement. Whether a debtor is in default cannot be determined simply because there are efforts to rescue loans that have entered a problematic stage. The beginning of a violation of an agreement or default due to someone not being paid, in meeting the credit rescue standards at the bank, usually efforts are made such as Rescheduling, Reconditioning, Restructuring, through this rescue, the debtor is given the opportunity to lose his business, so the concept of default in BW and the Banking Law must be measured through the performance given, in both regulations, then from there the concept of problem credit can be classified. This banking regulation can be said to be a default, the comparison of this concept is the discussion in this thesis.

Education is the main driver of a nation's progress, which is not only related to intellectual intelligence, but also the formation of student character. Unfortunately, currently the world of education is facing serious problems, such as declining interest in learning and increasingly complex external factors in the digital era. This study aims to explore in depth the impact of learning motivation on student academic achievement, identifying obstacles that hinder this achievement. The method used in the current study is a literature study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through theoretical studies and analysis of various relevant scientific sources, including research journals and textbooks, which were then combined to develop a comprehensive argument. The findings of this study indicate that learning motivation is the main factor that encourages student persistence and consistency in achieving the best learning. Academic success is defined as the result of a complex interaction between internal and external factors, where the existence of a supporting ecosystem such as good learning facilities, a supportive environment, and effective communication between lecturers and students plays a very important role. On the other hand, phenomena such as digital fatigue, low independence, and excessive workload are identified as significant barriers that can reduce academic performance. This analysis concludes that there is synergy in strengthening psychological aspects and creating an adaptable learning environment to maintain the stability of academic achievement amidst global demands.

The field of education, especially Islamic Religious Education (PAI), has seen substantial changes as a result of the advancement of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI). The existence of digital media and AI offers numerous opportunities to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of education through interactive, flexible, and easily accessible learning resources. The purpose of this article is to analyze how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital media are used in Islamic Religious Education. This includes the idea of AI and digital media, AI-based learning materials, the use of AI in educational activities, ethical considerations of AI use, the effects and difficulties of integrating AI, and the Islamic viewpoint on technological advancement. This study employed a library research method by collecting data from relevant journals, books, and other scholarly sources. The findings indicate that the use of AI and digital media in PAI learning can enhance access to information, personalize learning experiences, improve evaluation effectiveness, and increase student engagement in the learning process. However, the implementation of AI also presents several challenges, such as limited digital literacy among teachers, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, ethical concerns, and the potential decline of direct educational interaction between teachers and students. Therefore, the utilization of AI in Islamic Religious Education should be carried out wisely while maintaining Islamic values, ethics, and the primary goal of Islamic education in shaping students’ character.

Culture and traditions in Southwest Maluku contain a wealth of local wisdom that serves as a social glue, one of which is reflected in the use of the greeting Kalwedo. This greeting is not just a mere pleasantry, but has a very strong meaning in presenting the values ​​of brotherhood and local wisdom of the people of Southwest Maluku. This study shows several things, including, this study aims to interpret the antagonistic meaning of the greeting Kalwedo as a symbol of brotherhood by using the hermeneutic approach of Hans-Georg Gadamer. The research method used is qualitative descriptive-analysis. Data analysis was carried out through three hermeneutic movements, namely phenomenology, reconstruction, and dialogue. The results of the study show that Kalwedo contains the meaning of "we are together" or "we are one" which means emphasizing the unity of existence between the greeter and the greeted. Based on Gadamer's perspective, this meaning is formed from the fusion of horizons, namely between the past and the present, where the tradition will remain alive and meaningful in the contemporary context. The Kalwedo greeting serves as a medium for erasing barriers of difference, strengthening bonds of brotherhood, and building awareness of an inclusive collective identity. In conclusion, Kalwedo is a manifestation of wirkungsgeschichte (influential history) that continuously shapes and maintains social harmony amidst the dynamics of community life in Southwest Maluku.

This study aims to examine how nepotism can manifest through the role of informal institutions and its influence on administrative integrity within the bureaucracy. The method used is literature analysis by examining various related scientific references, such as books, journal articles, and research, which are then analyzed descriptively and analytically through identification, classification, and data integration. The research findings indicate that nepotism does not only arise from weaknesses in the official system, but is also strongly influenced by the existence of informal institutions such as personal networks, social norms, and organizational culture. This practice tends to persist within a system because it gains social recognition, making it difficult to overcome solely with regulations. The consequences include a decline in employee professionalism, weak accountability, and erosion of administrative integrity, which impacts on reduced public trust in government institutions. The implications of this study indicate that a comprehensive approach is crucial in bureaucratic reform, through strengthening the official system and changing organizational cultural values ​​to produce transparent, accountable, and dignified government management.

Cooperatives in indonesia constitute the foundational pillar of the national economy and hold a constitutionally strategic position. However, their existence is currently under pressure from the hegemony of modern markets, which are dominated by large capital interests and the penetration of digital technology. This study aims to provide a comprehensive mapping of the internal strengths and fundamental weaknesses of cooperatives within the Indonesian market system through a systematic literature review. The analysis examines 24 selected scholarly journal articles published between 2019 and 2026 to ensure the data remains relevant to current economic dynamics. The synthesis indicates that the primary strengths of cooperatives lie in their social capital, the principle of kinship (asas kekeluargaan) which fosters member loyalty, and their potential for digital adaptation as a tool to mitigate economic recessions and the dominance of multinational corporations. Conversely, the findings confirm chronic, unresolved weaknesses, including low managerial professionalism, limited access to capital, and small economies of scale that hinder price efficiency in competitive markets. External challenges, such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution and shifting consumer behaviors, demand that cooperatives undergo immediate structural transformation. This article concludes that the key to cooperative sustainability in the face of modern market hegemony lies in the implementation of agile strategic management, service digitalization, and the strengthening of strategic partnerships. Policy recommendations are directed toward reinforcing regulations that protect the cooperative ecosystem without compromising its inherent competitiveness within the market mechanism.

This study aims to examine the existence of dayah as a traditional Islamic educational institution in Aceh in facing the challenges of modernization, as well as to analyze its history, curriculum, and the dynamics of educational transformation within it. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research by collecting data from various sources such as books, scientific journals, research articles, and documents relevant to the topic. The findings indicate that dayah is one of the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Aceh that developed since the early spread of Islam in the Indonesian archipelago and has played an important role in the dissemination of Islamic teachings, moral development, and the formation of social life within the community. The educational system in dayah focuses on the study of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning) and Islamic sciences through traditional learning methods such as halaqah, religious book studies, and direct learning with teungku or Islamic scholars. Over time, dayah institutions have undergone various transformations through the integration of general subjects, curriculum reform, and improvements in educational management systems in order to remain relevant to modern societal needs. Modernization presents challenges for dayah, particularly in maintaining a balance between tradition and educational innovation. Nevertheless, dayah continues to preserve its Islamic identity while gradually adapting to contemporary developments. Therefore, dayah not only survives as a traditional educational institution but also develops into an adaptive and relevant Islamic educational institution that continues to play a significant role in shaping character and religious values in Acehnese society.

The rapid digitalization in Indonesia, reaching 180 million active social media users, has not been accompanied by adequate security system resilience, thereby triggering massive data breach risks. This study aims to analyze the privacy navigation mechanisms of the digital society as an instrument for mitigating information leaks. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study (library research) approach, which examines primary and secondary literature related to regulations, digital behavior, and user psychological factors. The research findings indicate that privacy navigation in the digital era has not operated optimally due to the dominance of social existence needs, which triggers the privacy paradox phenomenon. Although users possess knowledge regarding cyber risks, the desire for social validation through self-disclosure often overrides technical protection logic. The practice of using secondary accounts (second accounts) was found to be a form of manual navigation, yet its effectiveness remains dependent on individual digital literacy. The implications of this research emphasize that mitigating information leaks requires the integration of critical user awareness, platform governance transparency, and consistent law enforcement through the PDP Law. Digital awareness must transform into reflexive protective behavior to maintain informational sovereignty in cyberspace.  

The preservation of the nation's collective memory is a very important aspect in maintaining national identity, but its existence today is threatened by physical damage and limited access to information. This study aims to explain effective preservation methods to ensure the sustainability of the collective memory as a historical heritage. The methodology applied is qualitative descriptive by collecting data through literature review and document analysis from various literature sources and regulations related to archives. The results of this study show that the implementation of the current preservation strategy still faces major problems, especially the difference between the expected tennis standards and the reality of limited funds and the ability of human resources to carry out restoration. In addition, the digitalization process has not been fully linked to the planned long-term digital preservation management. The implications of this study show that strengthening the collaboration and technical capabilities of archivists is very important so that all historical artifacts of the nation are maintained in their authenticity, protected, and can be widely accessed by future generations.

Local wisdom is an important part of a nation's cultural identity, but its existence is beginning to be marginalized in the midst of modernization. The Kajang Indigenous People in Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi, are one of the communities that still maintain their traditional values through a customary legal system called Pasang ri Kajang. This community service activity aims to introduce the potential of Kajang cultural tourism to students as an educational effort in instilling the values of local wisdom. The partners in this activity are the Kajang indigenous people and local traditional leaders, including Ammatoa as the traditional leader. The activity is carried out with a participatory and educational method based on direct experience, which involves students in observation, discussion, and reflection on local culture. The results of the activity showed an increase in student knowledge by 31% and a significant change in attitudes towards the preservation of local culture, where more than 80% of participants showed an appreciative attitude towards the values inherited by the Kajang community. This activity also received a positive response from the local community because of its approach that respects traditional values. In addition, this activity produces several outputs, such as cultural introduction modules, activity documentation, and draft service articles. This activity shows that student involvement in the introduction of local culture can be an effective strategy in building multicultural awareness and preserving the nation's cultural heritage.

Ntobo Specta is a community service program implemented by students of the Community Service Program (KKN) of the Bima College of Economics (STIE) as an effort to support the development of a creative economy based on local potential in Ntobo Village. Ntobo Village is known as one of the centers of traditional weaving craftsmen who are the main source of income for most of the community. However, promotion and marketing of woven products are still limited, so innovative activities are needed to increase the attractiveness and economic value of local weaving. Ntobo Specta activities are packaged in the form of a bazaar for weaving MSMEs and a fashion show made from typical Ntobo woven fabrics involving elementary, middle, and high school students. This activity aims to introduce Ntobo weaving to the wider community, increase the interest of the younger generation in local culture, and open marketing opportunities for weaving MSMEs. The implementation method is carried out through the stages of coordination, activity preparation, event implementation, and evaluation. The results of the activity show that Ntobo Specta is able to be an effective medium for promoting culture and the creative economy. The enthusiasm of the community and participants has a positive impact on increasing the existence of Ntobo weaving as a superior regional product. Furthermore, this activity also stimulates economic growth in the community by increasing awareness of local woven products and expanding the marketing network for MSMEs. Thus, Ntobo Specta is a form of community empowerment that integrates cultural preservation with strengthening the creative economy based on local wisdom.
