Abstract

Background. Sufism has historically played a central role in shaping Islamic spirituality in Indonesia, yet its presence and function in contemporary contexts—particularly among urban and rural communities—remain underexplored. Amid the dynamic religious landscape of modern Indonesia, marked by increasing pluralism, conservatism, and digital religiosity, the integration of Sufi practices and values continues to adapt and evolve in nuanced ways. Purpose. This study aims to examine how Sufism is practiced, perceived, and institutionalized within both urban and rural Muslim communities in Indonesia. The research investigates the social, spiritual, and cultural factors that influence the persistence and transformation of Sufi traditions in the context of modern life. Method. Employing a qualitative comparative approach, the study conducted fieldwork in two locations: a metropolitan city (Jakarta) and a rural district in Central Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 30 participants including religious leaders, followers of various tariqas (Sufi orders), and community members, supported by participant observation and document analysis. Results. Findings reveal that urban Sufi communities emphasize symbolic spirituality, self-development, and integration with digital platforms, while rural counterparts maintain traditional rituals, communal dhikr, and strong lineage-based networks. Despite contextual differences, both settings reflect a shared commitment to inner transformation and ethical living, with Sufism offering a counterbalance to materialism and ideological rigidity. Conclusion. The study concludes that Sufism continues to serve as a meaningful spiritual resource in Indonesian Islam, adapting to socio-cultural shifts while maintaining its core emphasis on personal piety and social harmony.

Abstract

Growing ecological degradation and rising climate vulnerabilities in Indonesia have prompted renewed interest in faith-based environmental engagement, yet the role of mosques as community hubs for climate action remains insufficiently defined. Previous studies often assume that religious leaders automatically possess ecological authority, overlooking the varied interpretations of eco-theology within local Islamic practices. This study investigates how the figure of the Green Imam—a religious leader advocating environmental ethics—can shape community-based climate change mitigation in Indonesian mosques. The research aims to analyze the theological foundations of Islamic eco-ethics, examine the agency of imams in mobilizing environmental awareness, and evaluate community responses to mosque-based climate initiatives. A qualitative design was employed, combining textual analysis of eco-theological literature, semi-structured interviews with imams from diverse regions, and case studies of mosque-led environmental programs such as waste management, tree planting, and sustainable water use. Findings indicate that eco-theology provides a compelling moral narrative that strengthens local climate action, but its effectiveness depends on the imam’s interpretive framing, leadership style, and the socio-cultural character of the congregation. Mosques implementing structured environmental programs demonstrated higher levels of community participation and stronger behavioral shifts compared to those relying solely on sermons. However, uneven ecological literacy among imams and limited institutional support remain persistent challenges. The study concludes that the Green Imam model can serve as a catalyst for climate mitigation when supported by coherent theological grounding, community empowerment strategies, and collaborative networks with governmental and civil-society actors. Strengthening eco-theological literacy and institutionalizing environmental programs in mosques are essential for long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Multicultural societies are increasingly characterized by diversity that brings both opportunities for cooperation and risks of intergroup conflict at the community level. Intergroup tensions and social harmony often coexist, yet their interaction remains insufficiently understood in empirical research. This study aims to examine how community interactions shape intergroup conflicts and social harmony in multicultural societies. A quantitative explanatory design was employed involving community members from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds across several multicultural neighborhoods. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring intergroup interaction frequency, perceived conflict intensity, and social harmony, complemented by secondary community records. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The results indicate that frequent and meaningful intergroup interactions are significantly associated with lower perceived conflict and higher levels of social harmony. Intergroup interaction emerged as a strong predictor of harmony, while conflict intensity negatively affected harmonious relations. The findings demonstrate that social harmony is actively constructed through everyday interactions rather than achieved by the absence of conflict. Strengthening opportunities for dialogue, shared spaces, and inclusive community engagement can enhance social cohesion. The study concludes that managing diversity through interaction-focused strategies is essential for sustaining peaceful and resilient multicultural communities globally today.

Abstract

The limitations of conventional von Neumann computing architectures in handling complex, data-intensive tasks have spurred significant interest in brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. A critical challenge in this field is the development of hardware that can efficiently emulate the synaptic plasticity of biological neurons. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and integration of ferroelectric thin films, specifically hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO), as a promising material platform for creating artificial synaptic devices. The primary objective was to fabricate high-quality HZO thin films and demonstrate their capacity to mimic key synaptic functions. HZO films were synthesized using pulsed laser deposition, followed by comprehensive characterization of their structural, ferroelectric, and electrical properties using XRD, PFM, and I-V measurements. The optimized films were then integrated into two-terminal memristive device structures. The resulting devices successfully exhibited essential synaptic behaviors, including potentiation, depression, and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), with low energy consumption per synaptic event. The gradual and controllable modulation of ferroelectric domain switching was identified as the core mechanism enabling this analog-like resistance modulation.
