ovide character education in response to this phenomenon, so that students are able to build awareness and resilience in facing digital social pressure. The service methods used include interactive lectures, value simulation, and case study-based mentoring. This activity involved 34 students as the main target and 3 resource persons as facilitators The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the form and impact of digital bullying, as well as the growth of concern and proactive attitude to create a safe school environment. Participants also showed improved ability to manage emotions, understand the importance of strong character, and not respond to pressure with aggressive actions. Based on these results, it is recommended that character education based on anti-bullying values continue to be strengthened through continuous habituation and training programs, in order to form a resilient and adaptive young generation in the digital era.
Abstract:This study explores how Bugis-Makassar women construct and navigate plural reproductive knowledge in response to abortus imminens (threatened miscarriage), drawing on Talcott Parsons’ AGIL framework to analyze the sociocultural…
ocultural functions of care practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Makassar, Indonesia, including interviews and participant observation with ten pregnant women, the study reveals that reproductive behavior is shaped by adaptive strategies (A), collective goals (G), moral integration (I), and intergenerational transmission of norms (L). Rather than following a singular medical logic, women mobilize syncretic forms of care that blend biomedical treatment, spiritual rituals, and ancestral taboos. These plural responses reflect not only epistemic hybridity but also reproductive governance enacted through kinship, religious authority, and clinical institutions. Women's agency is expressed not through open resistance, but through strategic moral navigation and embodied alignment with normative expectations—a form of what Mahmood terms the ethics of self-formation. The findings challenge biomedical-centric approaches to maternal health and highlight the need for culturally responsive interventions that respect local logics of risk, protection, and care. This study contributes to sociological debates on medical pluralism, moral regulation, and the reproduction of gendered knowledge in the Global South.
Abstract:Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a critical role in shaping both the intellectual and moral character of students. It emphasizes the importance of akidah (faith) and akhlak (ethics) as the core elements of Islamic…
teachings. Akidah involves a profound belief in the One and Only God, Allah SWT, while akhlak reflects a person’s behavior towards God and fellow human beings. Education focused on these aspects helps create well-rounded students who possess not only intellectual capabilities but also strong moral values, empathy, and the ability to contribute positively to society. However, the rise of globalization and technological advancements, particularly through social media, presents challenges in preserving Islamic values in education. These external influences can expose students to ideologies and behaviors that conflict with Islamic principles. Historical Islamic figures, including the Prophets, have exemplified the correct practice of akidah and akhlak, setting an example for current generations. The Quran and Hadith emphasize the importance of adhering to moral values and avoiding negative behaviors. As such, integrating akidah and akhlak in the PAI curriculum is vital for developing students' character and integrity. This study aims to explore how moral education can shape the character of students by focusing on akidah and akhlak, and how this integration can create a generation that is responsible, principled, and capable of thriving in a complex and diverse world. By enhancing akidah and akhlak education, this study seeks to contribute to the improvement of educational policies and the development of morally grounded individuals in Indonesian society.
Abstract:The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially deep learning, has made significant contributions in various fields, including the world of education. In the context of Islamic Religious Education…
(PAI), the biggest challenge today is how to deliver teaching materials effectively, adaptively, and relevant to the development of the times and the characteristics of the digital generation. Deep learning implementations offer a variety of opportunities to support a more personalized, interactive, and efficient learning process. Through an algorithm-based approach, deep learning is able to process student learning data to provide a learning experience tailored to individual learning styles. The application of this technology also allows for automatic assessment of students' understanding through text, voice, and expression analysis, so that teachers can focus more on providing character development and spiritual values. On the other hand, the use of AI-based chatbots and intelligent assistants can facilitate discussions and consultations about Islamic teachings instantly and factually. The methodology used in this study is a descriptive qualitative study with a literature study and case study approach. Data were collected through a review of national and international scientific literature and focused observations on the practice of AI implementation in several madrassas and Islamic schools in Indonesia. The analysis was carried out thematically by identifying patterns, opportunities, and challenges of applying deep learning in PAI learning. The results of this study are expected to make a scientific contribution to the development of technology-based Islamic education in the digital era.

This study aims to theoretically examine the concept of spiritual dynamics and its implications for enhancing the moral intelligence and spirituality of elementary school (SD/MI) students. Spiritual dynamics are understood as the developmental process of the soul influenced by both internal and external factors in a child's life. Using the library research method, this study analyzes various theories from Islamic education, child development psychology, and spirituality in education. The findings reveal that fostering spiritual dynamics through religious value habituation, teacher role modeling, and a supportive educational environment significantly contributes to the formation of students' moral and spiritual intelligence. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating spiritual development programs into the curriculum and daily activities in SD/MI to create a generation with noble character and high spiritual intelligence.
Abstract:The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally reshaped consumer behavior globally, with social media becoming the primary channel for product information seeking. Approximately 51% of Indonesians rely on…
user reviews before purchasing, and 62% have bought products under the direct influence of Social Media Influencers (SMIs). Despite this, the psychological mechanisms linking influencer characteristics to purchase intention remain fragmented across sectors and platforms. This systematic literature review synthesizes nineteen empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025, spanning beauty, fashion, gadget, and sustainable product sectors across multiple countries, to examine how Source Credibility (attractiveness, trustworthiness, expertise) and Parasocial Interaction (PSI) jointly shape consumer purchase intentions. Three core findings emerge: (1) trustworthiness is the sole credibility dimension that is universally and consistently significant across all contexts, fundamentally challenging assumptions about the equal contribution of the three credibility dimensions; (2) PSI operates not as a single mediator but as a multi-pathway psychological bridge through hedonic value, brand attitude, vicarious experience, and social-personal value whose specific active pathway is contingent on platform, product type, and cultural context; and (3) generational and cultural moderators systematically shape which credibility dimension most powerfully drives PSI. A Proposed Integrative Conceptual Framework and a synthetic cross-study comparison matrix (Table 2) consolidate these findings. Results offer strategic implications for influencer marketing practice and identify priority directions for future research.
Abstract:This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a high-voltage direct current (DC) generator based on the Cockcroft–Walton (CW) voltage multiplier for laboratory-scale applications in electrical engineering.…
g. Conventional high-voltage generation methods often involve bulky transformers and complex circuitry, making them less suitable for compact and cost-effective laboratory use. To address these limitations, a modular CW-based system is proposed, integrating a high-frequency input source with an optimized diode-capacitor ladder network. The proposed system is designed to achieve high DC voltage output in the kilovolt range while maintaining acceptable levels of ripple and efficiency. Experimental results show that the system can achieve up to 86% of the theoretical output voltage under no-load conditions, with an efficiency of around 70.8%. Furthermore, the ripple voltage of the generated output voltage is very small, demonstrating stable performance suitable for laboratory applications. The proposed design offers a compact, cost-effective, and reliable solution for high-voltage DC generation, making it highly suitable for educational and low-power applications.
Abstract:This research examines the manifestation of syncretism in Dusun Catak, Kebonagung Village, Sumowono District, Semarang Regency, with a focus on the tradition of offering sesajen and its interaction with Islamic teachings.…
. The aims of this research are to understand how syncretism is manifested in the lives of the Dusun Catak community, to comprehend the history of Dusun Catak, and to analyze the Islamic perspective on the practice of offering sesajen carried out by the Dusun Catak community. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, combining literature study by exploring previous research, conducting direct observations at the research location for four days, and performing in-depth interviews with several informants. The results show that syncretism in Dusun Catak is manifested in a unique form, where the tradition of sesajen adapts to Islamic teachings. The Dusun Catak community also preserves the village's historical traditions by passing them down through generations. The placement of sesajen is carried out in specific locations. The practice of offering sesajen is regarded as a form of local wisdom that is not perceived as deviating from religious norms by the community; although the offerings are placed in various locations and are associated with respect for the ancestors of the Catak community, the practice is understood as part of a cultural tradition that is integrated with the Islamic values upheld by the community.

Abstract:This study examines the relationship between financial literacy, fintech usage, and digital shopping behavior among Generation Z university students in Indonesia, as well as the mediating role of fintech usage in this relationship.…
lationship. Data were collected from student respondents using purposive sampling and analyzed with path analysis. The results indicate that financial literacy significantly increases fintech usage, and fintech usage positively influences digital shopping behavior. The direct effect of financial literacy on digital shopping behavior becomes insignificant when fintech usage is included in the model, indicating that fintech usage fully mediates this relationship. These findings suggest that financial literacy encourages students to be more active in using fintech, and it is the intensity of fintech usage that drives their digital shopping behavior. This study highlights the importance of strengthening financial literacy and understanding financial technology to foster healthy financial behavior among students.
