Thus, this research is expected to contribute to supporting the realization of a more inclusive digital space governance that is youth-friendly and aligned with the strengthening of moral values and social ethics in community life.  

The crisis of student morality and etiquette in higher education institutions has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in the modern era. Social changes, the rapid development of digital technology, and the weakening The crisis of student morality and etiquette in higher education institutions has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in the modern era. Social changes, the rapid development of digital technology, and the weakening internalization of religious values have contributed to a decline in students' moral character, which is reflected in poor communication ethics, lack of respect for lecturers, plagiarism practices, individualistic attitudes, and weak academic responsibility. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic values in addressing the crisis of student etiquette at UIN Walisongo Semarang. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through literature review, observation, and data collection from various scientific journals. The findings indicate that the implementation of Islamic values, such as akhlaq al-karimah (noble character), trustworthiness (amanah), discipline, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), and responsibility, can serve as effective solutions in developing students' religious and ethical character. These values are implemented through spiritual development programs, an Islamic academic culture, lecturers' role modeling, Islamic student organization activities, and character education based on Islamic principles. This study emphasizes that the integration of Islamic values into the campus education system constitutes a strategic step in shaping a generation of Muslim intellectuals who excel not only academically but also possess strong morality and ethical conduct.

Sufism as a spiritual approach has a great potential to prevent mental health problems among Generation Z students at UIN Walisongo Semarang. This is because Sufism focuses on inner balance, self-awareness, and strengthening spiritual values that can be a source of psychological resilience. This study aims to investigate how Sufism practices such as dhikr, self-reflection, and spiritual guidance can help prevent mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety, and loneliness among Generation Z students. The method used in this study is a qualitative study with a phenomenological design. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews with students, observations of religious activities on campus, and focus group discussions, then analyzed thematically. Interviews were conducted with three students: Wilda Ismatus Sarifah (Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training), Sinta Wahdatul Khusna (Faculty of Tarbiyah of Social and Political Sciences), and Umi Fathonah (Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training). The study found that regular Sufism practice guided by experienced individuals helped students feel more meaningful, more socially connected, and develop coping strategies. This was associated with reduced symptoms of stress and anxiety, as well as improved well-being. The study recommends integrating Sufism-based spiritual programs into campus counseling services and character development activities. It also recommends training spiritual mentors and fostering collaboration between student welfare units and religious institutions on campus to support the mental health of young people.

The contemporary moral crisis, marked by the prevalence of hoaxes, corruption, intolerance, and hedonism, demands a strategic response from the Islamic tradition. This research aims to actualize Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) moral exemplariness as a strategy for strengthening Muslim character. Using a qualitative literature review method with a thematic-integrative approach, this study analyzes primary sources (the Quran, authentic hadiths, classical Islamic texts) and secondary sources (national and international academic journals). The findings identify five dimensions of Prophetic exemplariness (siddiq, amanah, rahmah, zuhud, hikmah) that directly correspond to 24 character strengths in Peterson and Seligman's Values in Action (VIA) framework. This research formulates four actualization strategies: internalization through contemporary Sufism, behavioral modeling (uswah fi'liyah), moral community reinforcement (al-biah al-shalihah), and Islamic digital literacy. The primary contribution of this research is an integrative model linking Prophetic moral values with modern character psychology, supplemented by an integration table mapping moral crises, Prophetic values, and character-strengthening strategies. This model is intended to serve as an operational framework for Islamic educational institutions, families, and Muslim communities in addressing moral crises systematically and evidence-based.

The wave of digitalization triggers a severe morality crisis among the younger generation through constant exposure to negative content, cyberbullying, and global communication ethics degradation. This descriptive qualitative study aims to analyze the specific internalization of Christian values at GPIB Harapan Kasih Congregation Bekasi to shield youth morality amidst ongoing technological disruption. Employing intensive in-depth interviews and participatory observations, data were analyzed interactively through systemic reduction, structured display, and final verification. The results indicate that the digital morality crisis explicitly manifests as pornography normalization, virtual toxicity, and the severe erosion of academic honesty. In response, pastoral strategies utilizing highly contextualized digital ethics sermons and youth cell groups prove thoroughly effective. The deep internalization of self-control and integrity successfully stimulates a holistic self-censorship mechanism across the youth's cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains. This study concludes that consistent accountability-based mentorship effectively transforms Christian youth from passive digital victims into active agents of change within global cyberspace.

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed the ways in which faith is experienced, particularly in the lives of adolescents. From the perspectives of digital religion and mediatization of religion, digital space is no longer merely a medium, but has become a cultural arena that actively shapes religious practices and meanings. The study aims to analyze these dynamics, especially within the context of Generation Alpha, by examining the opportunities and challenges that emerge in the lived experience of faith in the digital age. The findings indicate that digital environments offer creative, participatory, and contextual opportunities for evangelization, enabling young people to engage actively in constructing their religious experiences. However, this dynamic is inherently ambivalent, as it also risks reducing the meaning of faith to symbolic, instant, and less sacramentally grounded experiences, detached from the communal life of the Church. Furthermore, the formation of religious identity in digital spaces tends to be fluid and performative, potentially leading to superficial relationships and fragmented identities. Therefore, technologically mediated religious experience should be understood as a bridge, rather than a substitute, for authentic faith encounters. The Church is thus called to adopt adaptive and reflective pastoral approaches, positioning media as a means of fostering communio without obscuring the essence of faith. An integrative approach through the synergy of Church, family, and educational institutions is essential to balance digital literacy and spiritual depth, ensuring that adolescent faith continues to grow reflectively and remains rooted in real-life experience.

This article analyzes the security crisis in Haiti through the lens of constructivist theory in International Relations. Haiti represents one of the clearest examples of a failed state in the Western Hemisphere, where state authority has collapsed and been replaced by armed criminal groups known as gangs. Using a constructivist perspective, this article traces how social constructions, identities, and historically formed norms have shaped the fragility of the Haitian state. The study also integrates the concept of human security to illustrate the real impact of this crisis on citizens' security across seven dimensions: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political. The main finding suggests that Haiti's state failure is not merely a product of weak formal institutions, but the result of a long process of social construction, encompassing the legacy of colonialism, crippling reparation payments, counterproductive foreign intervention, and the normalization of violence in everyday life. From a constructivist perspective, restoring security in Haiti requires narrative reconstruction, rebuilding social trust, and comprehensive reform of institutional norms.

The gobal ecological crisis reflects the deteriorating relationship between humans and nature caused by the anthropocentric paradigm that places human at the center of life. This perspective encourages excessive exploitation of nature, resulting in inviromental destruction and ecosystem imbalance. This study aims to analyze the decontruction of anthtropocentricm within the ecological crisis and to reconstruct the relationship between humans and creation through the perspective of eco-theology. The research employs a quaitative method using a literature study approach by analizyng  various theological and ecological sources. The findings reveal that the ecological crisis is not merely a technical, but also a crisis of human paradigms toward nature. Therefore, the deconstruction of anthropocentrims is necessary to challenge the exploitative mindset of humans toward creation. Eco-theology offers an understanding that humans are an integral part of creation and possess moral and spiritual responsibilities  top reserve ecological sustainability. The relationship between humans and nature needs to be rebuilt harmoniously through ecological awareness, invironmental ethics, and collective responsibility for the sustainability of life. Thus, reconstructing the relationship between humans and creation becaomes an essential step toward developing a more ethical, sustainable, respectful awareness of all  creation.

This study aims to examine the concept of crisis response in the Qur'an and its relevance to medical triage practices in contemporary healthcare settings. The method used is a qualitative approach with thematic interpretation (maudhu’i) of Qur’anic verses related to saving lives, emergency conditions (darurah), justice, responsibility, and human limitations. The analysis focuses on how Qur’anic ethical principles can provide guidance in situations where medical resources are limited and difficult decisions must be made. The results show that the Qur'an offers an ethical framework that emphasizes the priority of saving human life, flexibility in emergencies, justice in decision-making, proportional consideration of benefit and harm, and recognition of human limitations in determining outcomes. These principles are closely aligned with the values of modern medical bioethics, namely beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice. Therefore, the Qur'anic perspective can serve as an integrative ethical foundation for medical triage practices, not only in terms of professional and interpersonal responsibility, but also as part of spiritual accountability before God. This research contributes to the development of interdisciplinary studies between Qur'anic studies, Islamic ethics, and medical bioethics.

The rapid advancement of information technology has reshaped modern society, in particular influencing how young individuals express their identities through fashion. The choice of clothing goes beyond mere practical functions, becoming a symbol of social status and values as young people attempt to adapt to rapidly changing trends, driven largely by digital platforms such as social media. These phenomena have simultaneously led to alarming waste production and environmental degradation, reflecting the mismatch between modern lifestyles and theological mandates on the management of creation. The fast-paced fashion industry, characterized by rapid production cycles and high consumerism, exacerbates the ecological crisis by generating large amounts of textile waste and contributing to detrimental practices in global supply chains. The study uses a qualitative approach, emphasizing literature research to analyze relevant literature and synthesize findings into meaningful discourse. Ultimately, it advocates a transformative catechesis that integrates ecological awareness into the formation of young people's faith, leveraging digital spaces to advocate for simplicity and community engagement in sustainable practices. The challenges faced in fostering this ecological awareness include the prevalence of a culture of instant gratification and the gap between knowledge and action, which hinders the alignment of belief with action. Theological reflection further emphasizes the spiritual implications of consumer behavior, placing ecological responsibility as a fundamental aspect of authentic expression of faith. Based on these insights, this paper underscores the importance for the Church to be proactively involved in the fight for ecological preservation, recognizing that true faith is manifested through tangible actions that honor the divine creation.

The contemporary ecological crisis demonstrates an imbalance in the relationship between humans and nature that is not only ecological, but also theological and moral. This article aims to analyze the ecological crisis from the perspective of Augustine of Hippo through the concepts of free will (liberum arbitrium) and the order of love (ordo amoris), as well as their relevance to the relationship between humans and nature. This study employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. The primary data sources are secondary literature, namely books and academic studies discussing Augustine’s philosophical and theological thought, supported by journal articles, Church documents, and contemporary ecotheological studies. The data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical and hermeneutic methods. The results of the study indicate that the ecological crisis originates from the disorientation of human will influenced by excessive self-love, which gives rise to an anthropocentric and exploitative attitude toward nature. From Augustine’s perspective, the restoration of the relationship between humans and nature requires an order of love directed toward God as the highest good. Therefore, the ecological crisis is understood as a spiritual crisis that demands an inner transformation of humanity in establishing an ethical relationship with all creation.

Penelitian ini berfokus pada kajian penggunaan teknologi artificial intelligence (AI) dalam kalangan akademik yang memiliki potensi untuk meningkatkan efesiensi proses pendidikan dan transformatif. Meskipun teknologi AI menawarkan berbagai peluang, pengintegrasian  teknologi ini dalam konteks pendidikan khususnya dalam kalangan akademik menimbulkan berbagai tantangan yang perlu diatasi  seperti ketergantungan pada AI, plagiasi, kecurangan, merosotnya cara berpikir kritis, kreativitas yang tidak berkembang, ketidakmampuan dalam mengatasi masalah dan krisis integritas. Dalam mengeksplorasi integrasi kecerdasan buatan (AI) dalam kalangan akademik, penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research. Metode ini memberikan landasan yang kuat bagi penulis untuk mendalami pemahaman tentang tantangan dari penggunaan AI dalam kalangan akademik dan penerapan reflektif sikap etis teologis terhadap penggunaan AI. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa penggunaan teknologi kecerdasan buatan (AI) dalam kalangan akademik sangat berpotensi untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan dan ilmu manusia untuk mendatangkan kemulian-Nya, jika disertai dengan sikap etis teologis yang selaras dengan mandat budaya Allah seperti bertanggungjawab, jujur, transparansi, dan AI sebagai alat. Implementasi sikap etis teologis dalam kalangan akademik dimulai dari sekolah Kristen, pendidikan tinggi Kristen, pengajar Kristen, pelajar Kristen dan orang percaya pada umumnya adalah cara mempermuliakan Allah dengan teknologi yang disertai dengan hikmat.

Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan Model Tridarma Berbasis Panggilan Abraham sebagai paradigma transformasional bagi Perguruan Tinggi Teologi (PTT) di Indonesia. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari krisis identitas PTT yang sering terjebak dalam dikotomi antara tuntutan akademik dan panggilan gerejawi, sehingga Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi—pendidikan, penelitian, dan pengabdian masyarakat—kerap kehilangan orientasi teologis dan relevansi sosialnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kerangka “Hermeneutika Filosofis-Kontekstual” yang mengintegrasikan studi filosofis dan critical case study pada STT Suwarnadwipa sebagai living prototype. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui analisis teks Kejadian 12:1–3, dokumen institusional, serta literatur teologis dan filsafat pendidikan. Analisis dilakukan melalui “Siklus Interpretasi Tiga Lapis” yang mencakup lapis eksplanatori, komparatif, dan konstruktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa panggilan Abraham mengandung tiga DNA utama, yaitu divine initiative, costly obedience, dan instrumental blessing, yang dapat menjadi fondasi filosofis-teologis bagi transformasi Tridarma PTT. Berdasarkan sintesis tersebut, penelitian ini menghasilkan tiga pilar utama model, yakni pendidikan sebagai Abrahamic Discipleship, penelitian sebagai Pro Deo et Ethne Inquiry, dan pengabdian masyarakat sebagai Shalom-Based Engagement. Implementasi model pada STT Suwarnadwipa menunjukkan bahwa paradigma Abrahamik mampu mengintegrasikan kesetiaan teologis dengan relevansi kontekstual secara operasional. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara teoretis melalui pengembangan kerangka “Teologi Dwipa Nusantara,” secara metodologis melalui pendekatan “Hermeneutika Filosofis-Kontekstual,” dan secara praktis melalui penyediaan model operasional yang dapat diadaptasi oleh PTT lain di Indonesia.

This study analyzes the strategic role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in managing Indochinese refugees namely from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos on Galang Island during the period 1979–1996. The “boat people” crisis at that time required a multisectoral response that was not only emergency-based but also sustainable, linking Indonesia’s transit policies with applicable international protection standards. Using a literature review method of international journal articles and program technical documents, this study finds that NGOs performed crucial functions beyond mere logistical assistance, particularly through structured educational planning such as the Overseas Refugee Training Program (ORTP). Recent literature indicates that NGO consortia such as SCF and EIL, along with faith-based organizations such as JRS, YCK, and ICMC, played a significant role in fostering refugee self-reliance through cultural orientation curricula and work simulation programs (Work Orientation). Despite various structural challenges and resource limitations, the experience on Galang Island demonstrates the effectiveness of partnerships between NGOs and the government in supporting adaptive and sustainable regional humanitarian diplomacy.

Changes in values in modern society have led to a shift in the meaning of love in marital relationships, from moral and spiritual commitment to momentary emotions oriented towards personal satisfaction. This shift has weakened long-term commitment and increased relational conflict within families. Islam, with its concept of marriage as mitsāqan ghalīẓā and love as amanah, offers a relevant normative framework to respond to this crisis. This study aims to examine the concept of marriage in Islam and analyze how the values of sakinah, mawaddah, and raḥmah can be solutions to the crisis of the meaning of love in modern families. The method used is a qualitative literature study, through an examination of classical and contemporary Islamic literature and scientific studies on the dynamics of modern families and relationships. The data were analyzed thematically to identify the relationship between the meaning of love, commitment, and relational conflict. The results and discussion show that reducing love to mere emotion weakens the stability of marriage, while understanding love as a spiritual and moral trust strengthens empathy, communication, and conflict resolution mechanisms. The principles of ṣabr, raḥmah, and musyawarah have proven to play an important role in maintaining the resilience of relationships. In conclusion, Islamic marriage values provide a solid and adaptive ethical foundation for building a harmonious, mature, and sustainable family amid the challenges of modernity.

The dynamics of the global coffee industry during the 2024–2026 period were characterized by significant fluctuations that placed Starbucks in a vulnerable position due to multidimensional reputation crises, ranging from geopolitical sentiments to industrial relations tensions. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Public Relations (PR) management strategies and integrated media models in restoring brand equity post-crisis. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative with a conceptual analysis approach, relying on digital literature studies and the collection of secondary data from international reputation research firm reports and credible mass media documentation. The research results indicate that the drastic decline in the Brand Strength Index was successfully mitigated through a strategic narrative transition from service efficiency toward the reinforcement of the original "The Third Place" identity. The utilization of data-driven Owned Media channels through loyalty applications proved to be the most crucial instrument in maintaining consumer retention amidst the global boycott. The research conclusion emphasizes that brand resilience in the era of digital volatility depends not only on rhetoric but on the synchronization between adaptive leadership, operational transparency, and the integration of an agile PESO communication model. This study provides a theoretical contribution regarding the importance of managing "reputation capital" through consistent sustainability commitments to maintain a balance between profitability and corporate communication ethics in an increasingly polarized global market

Environmental damage caused by human activities has become an increasingly pressing global issue. Poetry as a literary work has the power to represent ecological problems symbolically and critically. This study aims to describe the representation of the impact of the environmental crisis in Taufiq Ismail's poems, namely "Menengajah Ke Atas, Merenungi Ozone yang Tak terlihat" and "Membaca Tanda-Tanda." The analysis is based on Greg Garrard's ecocritical study. This study uses a qualitative method with content analysis techniques. There are two stages of analysis, namely the literal and symbolic meaning of the poems, then an ecocritical interpretation is carried out based on Garrard's categories which include pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and earth. The results of the study indicate that both poems represent the impact of the environmental crisis through health problems due to pollution and radiation, damage to water and forest ecosystems, climate change, threats to human living space, and the decline in biodiversity. The research findings also show that the most dominant categories are pollution and apocalypse, which confirms that the environmental crisis in Taufiq Ismail's poems is the result of human behavior that ignores nature. Thus, Taufiq Ismail's poems not only function as aesthetic works, but also as cultural criticism and moral warnings for humanity.
