Abstract

This study aims to optimize the biocompatibility of natural polymer hydrogels for targeted drug delivery applications. Crosslinking modifications are applied to natural polymers such as alginate, agarose, and chitosan, with the aim of increasing cell viability and reducing cytotoxicity. The results showed that modified hydrogels had higher cell viability (85–90%) and lower cytotoxicity compared to unmodified hydrogels. In addition, these modifications do not trigger immunological or inflammatory reactions in the cells of the human body tested. This study suggests that the crosslinking technique can be an effective solution in developing more biocompatible natural polymer hydrogels, which can be used for targeted drug delivery applications. However, for broader clinical applications, further research is needed to explore other modification methods and test more types of polymers.

Abstract

The rise of creative startups has become an important phenomenon in today’s entrepreneurial landscape. These companies, often operating in industries such as design, media, technology, and entertainment, play a crucial role in driving innovation and economic growth. Business incubators have emerged as key players in supporting the development and growth of these startups by providing essential resources, mentoring, and networking opportunities. However, the specific role and impact of business incubators on creative startups remain underexplored, particularly in the context of their long-term growth and sustainability. This study aims to examine the role of business incubators in facilitating the growth of creative startup companies. It seeks to understand how incubators contribute to the development of creative industries by providing both tangible and intangible support to entrepreneurs. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both qualitative interviews with incubator managers and creative entrepreneurs and quantitative surveys to assess the impact of incubator support on startup performance. Data was collected from several business incubators in key startup hubs. The findings indicate that business incubators play a critical role in providing creative startups with access to funding, mentorship, networking opportunities, and workspace. Startups that participated in incubator programs showed significantly higher rates of growth, innovation, and market readiness compared to those outside the incubators. Business incubators are essential for the success and growth of creative startups. Their support mechanisms help bridge the gap between idea development and market execution, contributing to the overall success and sustainability of creative industries.

Abstract

Background. This research aims to explore the evolution of portrait art in contemporary visual art, focusing on how portrait evolved from physical representation to a medium of social communication rich in critical messages and social themes. Purpose. The background of this research is based on the increasing use of digital media and the changing audience preference for portraits that convey relevant issues such as identity and social inequality.    Method. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, through in-depth interviews with artists and participatory observation in art galleries. Results. The results show that contemporary portraits are more than just visual works; It becomes an effective advocacy tool, blending aesthetics with complex social issues. Portraits now not only display appearances, but also convey a powerful narrative that invites the audience to engage in the process of interpretation and reflection. Conclusion. The conclusion of the study underscores that contemporary portrait art plays an important role in strengthening social awareness and offers a new perspective on visual art as a medium capable of driving social change.

Abstract

Background. Indonesia’s contemporary food sustainability challenges reflect deep historical, cultural, and ecological transformations that have reshaped local food systems and agro-biodiversity. Local food movements have re-emerged as a response to the growing homogenization of diets, the erosion of indigenous agricultural knowledge, and the impact of industrial food regimes. These movements represent not only environmental initiatives but also cultural practices rooted in longstanding traditions of communal agriculture and ecological stewardship. Purpose. The research aims to analyze the cultural foundations of Indonesia’s local food movements, trace their historical development, and examine their contributions to sustaining agro-biodiversity.   Method. A qualitative historical-cultural method was employed, drawing on archival materials, ethnographic accounts, visual documentation, and policy analysis. Analytical procedures included thematic coding, cultural narrative reconstruction, and cross-period comparison to map continuities and ruptures in food sustainability practices. Results. Findings show that local food movements are deeply embedded in cultural memory and collective identity, functioning as mechanisms for ecological resilience, resistance to food commodification, and revitalization of traditional crop varieties. The movements demonstrate how cultural narratives, ritual practices, and local knowledge systems actively shape community-led strategies for conserving agro-biodiversity. Conclusion. The study concludes that food sustainability in Indonesia cannot be understood solely through ecological or economic lenses; it must be grounded in cultural history and humanistic inquiry. Strengthening local food movements therefore requires integrating cultural values, historical understanding, and community agency into national food sustainability policies.

Abstract

Religion has long been a fundamental force in shaping social behavior, with Islamic rituals playing a central role in structuring moral and social conduct within Muslim communities. This study investigates the sociological dimensions of key Islamic rituals, including Salah (prayer), Sawm (fasting), Zakat (charity), and Hajj (pilgrimage), exploring how these practices influence individual and collective behavior. The aim of the research is to examine how Islamic rituals function as mechanisms for social cohesion, moral regulation, and identity formation. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews and participant observation among Muslim individuals from diverse backgrounds. The findings indicate that these rituals not only foster personal spiritual growth but also strengthen social bonds, promote social responsibility, and encourage ethical conduct. Participants reported that Salah reinforced community unity, while Sawm and Zakat increased empathy and social responsibility. Hajj was viewed as a transformative experience, creating a sense of global Muslim identity. The study concludes that Islamic rituals are vital tools for fostering social solidarity and regulating social behavior, highlighting their dual role in personal devotion and community building. Understanding the sociological implications of these rituals provides valuable insights into the relationship between religion and society.
