The presence of LGBT individuals (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) in society has raised complex discussions, especially when viewed from the perspectives of Islamic law and human rights. Islamic teachings generally view same-sex relations and gender transitions as actions that deviate from the moral and natural order established by religious texts. In contrast, the human rights framework emphasizes individual dignity, personal freedom, and the right to non-discrimination, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. This article seeks to explore the intersection of these two perspectives, not to provoke conflict, but to offer a balanced understanding rooted in empathy, justice, and social awareness. Using a qualitative normative approach, this research examines Islamic legal sources, national regulations, and international human rights documents. The study finds that while Islamic law maintains clear normative boundaries, there is still room for inclusive dialogue and respectful engagement, especially in multicultural societies like Indonesia. Bridging these two frameworks requires not only legal analysis but also cultural sensitivity and ethical responsibility.

In the modern era, approaches to understanding hadith have undergone significant transformations, necessitating more systematic and contextualized methodologies. Thematic hadith studies (maw??‘?) have emerged as a methodological solution capable of integrating the Prophet’s teachings with contemporary realities in a more comprehensive manner. This research aims to examine the concept, history, and development of the thematic methodology in hadith studies. The primary focus is to explore the epistemology of this approach and its implications within modern Islamic academic discourse. This study employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were collected through the analysis of primary and secondary literature, then analyzed using descriptive-analytical and historical-critical methods. The findings indicate that while the thematic method has existed since the classical era, its conceptual maturity has advanced significantly in the contemporary period. This approach has proven effective in addressing the issue of ikhtil?f al-?ad?th, clarifying inter-narration relationships, and expanding the scope of hadith understanding according to the needs of the time. However, its main challenges include potential subjectivity in interpretation and the need for stricter methodologies in validating both sanad and matn. Therefore, thematic hadith studies serve as a bridge between classical understanding and modern academic demands. Its implications extend beyond the development of hadith science to the continued relevance of Islamic teachings in addressing contemporary intellectual and social challenges.

The 2024 General Election in Indonesia marked a significant shift in the landscape of political communication from conventional media to the digital sphere. Political campaigns conducted through social media and online platforms have opened new opportunities for persuasive effectiveness but also introduced serious challenges in terms of communication ethics, particularly in advertising. This study aims to analyze digital political campaign practices during the 2024 election through the lens of the Indonesian Advertising Ethics Code (Etika Pariwara Indonesia/EPI), which serves as a self-regulatory standard in the advertising industry. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, supported by documentation analysis, digital observation, and literature review. The findings reveal that many digital political advertisements violate key EPI principles, including honesty, transparency, and social responsibility. The most prominent violations include negative campaigning, the use of religious symbols to construct candidate images, and undisclosed endorsements by political influencers. Weaknesses in digital monitoring systems exacerbate these issues, allowing unethical content to spread massively and uncontrollably. This study concludes that the implementation of EPI in digital political campaigns remains weak and requires a more adaptive, collaborative, and technology-based monitoring approach to safeguard democratic integrity in the digital communication era.

This research analyzes the ethics of broadcasting advertisements on television media, especially related to  broadcasting time regulations. The significant role of television in shaping people's thoughts and  behaviors, coupled with the proliferation of potentially unethical and inappropriate broadcasts, highlights  the urgency of this issue. Such violations, especially those concerning children and adolescents, pose  significant risks due to exposure to inappropriate content and the normalization of unethical behavior. This  study emphasizes the importance of media commitment to the Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines and  Broadcast Program Standards (P3SPS) and Law No. 32 of 2002, which aims to protect viewers from  harmful information. This study uses a library observation method with a qualitative approach, analyzing  existing reports, research, and written sources. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman's qualitative  decomposition technique, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The  findings of the study are in line with previous studies, indicating that violations of broadcasting ethics and  broadcasting hours are systemic problems that have not been resolved. This underlines the need for stricter  supervision, sanctions, re-evaluation of broadcasting time classifications, and media literacy education for  the community.

The purpose of this study is to determine the forms of violence against children and how legal protection for children as victims of crime is according to Indonesian criminal law. Legal protection for children is an important issue that requires serious attention from various parties, including the government, society, and family. Children have basic rights that must be protected to ensure they grow and develop properly. This paper discusses the concept of legal protection for children, the legal basis underlying child protection in Indonesia, and the challenges and solutions that can be applied to improve legal protection for children.
 

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a biomaterial containing calcium phosphate with the chemical formula which is similar to the structure of human bone, so it is good for the purpose of healing human bones and teeth. HAp synthesis has several methods that can affect the results of HAp synthesis, such as the method of mixing CaO with phosphate, namely mixing with ultrasonic machines and magnetic stirrers. However, the discussion about the difference of HAp results with the mixing method of ultrasonic machine and magnetic stirrer is still rarely done. Therefore, it is important to examine and compare the characteristics of HAp synthesized by ultrasonic and magnetic stirrer mixing. The result of XRD test shows that HA1 has a purity of weight percentage (wt.%) of HAp crystal of 99.8%, while HA2 has a weight percentage (wt.%) of HAp crystal of 97.7%. For the FTIR test results of both specimens detected the presence of phosphate groups, and hydoxide, where both are the basic form of hydroxyapatite. Carbonate groups were also detected in the test, but it cannot be said to be bad because carbonate is a natural substitute for phosphate. 

This study examines the integration of Islamic values in the development of science and technology in the Society 5.0 era through a qualitative literature study. The research analyzes three main aspects: (1) the concept of tadabbur alam (contemplation of nature) in the Qur'an as an epistemological foundation, (2) critique of secular science from a tawhidic paradigm perspective, and (3) implementation models in Islamic higher education. Findings reveal that the Qur'an provides a comprehensive epistemological framework connecting empirical observation, rational reasoning, and spiritual internalization. Case studies at UIN Bandung and UIN Surabaya demonstrate successful curriculum integration models such as "Revelation Guides Science" and "Integrated Twin Towers." The study concludes that Islamic epistemology offers solutions to contemporary challenges including ecological crises, technological ethics, and meaning crises in modern science. Strategic recommendations are proposed for policy makers, Islamic universities, and technology developers to operationalize this integration. Keywords : Islamic epistemology, Ccience integration, Society 5.0, Tadabbur alam, Tawhidic paradigm

This study aims to analyze the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are utilized by government institutions and companies in public relations (PR) practices, and to relate these findings to crisis management strategies. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews involving 23 institutions, consisting of 19 government agencies and 4 private companies. The results show that ChatGPT is the most widely used AI tool (56%), followed by Gemini (34%) and QuillBot (14%). Most other tools showed low usage rates, with a high percentage falling under the “unknown” category, indicating limited information and awareness regarding AI technologies within PR environments. These findings have strategic implications in the context of crisis management, as the speed and accuracy of information dissemination are highly dependent on technological adaptability. The integration of AI tools into public communication systems can serve as both a preventive and responsive solution to reputational and operational crises. Therefore, policies are needed to enhance digital literacy and provide technical training on AI utilization for PR practitioners in both the public and private sectors.
