Abstract

Background. Classical texts have long served as the foundation for historical interpretation, shaping our understanding of past events, philosophies, and cultural legacies. However, the authority of these texts has been questioned as critical philology increasingly reveals the complex layers of translation, adaptation, and contextualization that shape historical narratives. Revisiting classical sources through the lens of critical philology allows for a more nuanced understanding of their role in historical interpretation and the authority they hold in shaping intellectual and cultural traditions. Purpose. This study aims to examine the authority of classical texts in historical interpretation, focusing on how critical philology can reveal the ways in which these texts have been manipulated, adapted, and re-contextualized. It explores the implications of these processes for our understanding of historical events and intellectual traditions. Method. A critical philological approach is employed, analyzing key classical texts alongside their translations, commentaries, and later adaptations. Textual analysis is complemented by historical contextualization to uncover the shifts in meaning and authority across different periods and cultures. Results. The study reveals that classical texts are not fixed repositories of knowledge but dynamic works whose meanings have evolved over time. The manipulation of these texts in different historical contexts significantly affects their authority in shaping historical narratives. Conclusion. This research demonstrates the importance of revisiting classical sources through critical philology to reassess their role in historical interpretation, offering new insights into the fluid nature of textual authority.

Abstract

Tropical forests are critical to global biodiversity and climate regulation. However, they face increasing threats from deforestation, climate change, and unsustainable land use practices. Ethnoforestry, the integration of indigenous knowledge and forest management practices, has emerged as a crucial component of both ecological and social resilience. Indigenous communities have long managed tropical forests using sustainable practices that ensure the balance of ecosystems while supporting local livelihoods. This research explores the role of ethnoforestry as a pillar of resilience in tropical forest regions. This study aims to investigate how ethnoforestry practices contribute to social and ecological resilience in tropical forests. Specifically, it seeks to understand the mechanisms through which indigenous forest management practices help mitigate environmental degradation and enhance community well-being. A qualitative approach was used, including field observations, interviews with indigenous forest managers, and analysis of case studies from tropical forest regions in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key practices that promote resilience. The findings highlight that ethnoforestry practices, such as agroforestry, selective logging, and forest regeneration, contribute significantly to both biodiversity conservation and social cohesion. These practices foster sustainable resource use, mitigate environmental degradation, and enhance the adaptive capacity of communities. Ethnoforestry plays a vital role in enhancing the resilience of both ecosystems and human communities in tropical forests. Integrating indigenous knowledge into forest management strategies is essential for achieving long-term sustainability.

Abstract

The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the manufacturing industry has revolutionized production processes globally, offering enhanced automation, real-time monitoring, and improved decision-making. In Indonesia, however, the application of IoT in the manufacturing sector remains limited despite its potential to increase productivity and efficiency. The primary objective of this research is to assess the role of IoT in enhancing operational efficiency and productivity in Indonesia’s manufacturing industry. The study also aims to identify the barriers to IoT adoption and provide recommendations for overcoming these challenges. This study utilizes a case study approach, focusing on selected manufacturing companies in Indonesia that have integrated IoT technologies into their production processes. Data was collected through interviews, surveys, and site visits, supplemented by secondary data from industry reports. Qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were applied to evaluate the findings. The research indicates that IoT implementation has led to significant improvements in process optimization, reduced downtime, and better resource management. However, challenges such as high initial costs, lack of skilled personnel, and resistance to change were identified as key obstacles hindering broader adoption. The findings highlight the transformative potential of IoT in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector.

Abstract

Indonesia faces a severe prison overcrowding crisis, with national overcapacity rates often exceeding 200%. Restorative Justice (RJ) has been formally adopted as a primary policy response, yet its empirical effectiveness as a large-scale diversionary tool to mitigate this crisis remains unverified. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of RJ implementation in reducing new prison admissions and slowing the growth of total carceral populations in Indonesian jurisdictions. A quasi-experimental, comparative interrupted time-series (ITS) design was employed. Aggregate panel data from 40 matched jurisdictions (20 High-RJ implementation, 20 Low-RJ control) were analyzed over a 120-month period (2015-2024). A fixed-effects regression model was used to isolate the policy’s impact. -Implementation RJ jurisdictions showed significantly slower carceral population growth (9.1%) compared to Low-Implementation controls (38.4%). The regression analysis confirmed a robust, negative relationship between RJ diversions and new prison admissions (B = -0.81, p < .001), demonstrating a near one-to-one substitution effect. The findings provide strong quantitative evidence that RJ is an effective, data-driven policy for mitigating prison overcrowding. The crisis persists not from a lack of a solution, but from a failure of consistent implementation, which must be standardized to realize its full potential.

Abstract

The rise of digital-preneurship has revolutionized the entrepreneurial landscape, especially for women who face traditional barriers in business. Social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, have emerged as key enablers for female entrepreneurs, offering low-cost solutions for brand development, customer engagement, and business growth. This study explores the role of social media in empowering female-led start-ups, with a focus on how these platforms provide opportunities to overcome gendered entrepreneurial challenges. The primary aim is to examine the strategies used by women entrepreneurs to leverage social media for business success. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 15 female entrepreneurs who use social media platforms as their primary business tool. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis, focusing on platform usage, content strategies, and entrepreneurial outcomes. The findings reveal that Instagram and TikTok are the most widely used platforms, with women entrepreneurs achieving higher engagement, brand visibility, and business growth through strategic use. Social media was found to significantly enhance business sustainability, customer loyalty, and market reach. This study concludes that social media platforms serve as vital empowerment tools for female entrepreneurs, enabling them to navigate traditional barriers and achieve scalable success. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of these businesses and the specific challenges faced by women in digital entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Background. Performance has long been an essential part of human society, from its roots in ritualistic practices to its evolution into modern theatrical and performance art forms. Throughout history, performance has served as a means to communicate, express cultural identity, and negotiate social and power dynamics. While traditional rituals held specific social and spiritual functions, contemporary performances often focus on entertainment, self-expression, and cultural critique. Understanding the social function of performance in both traditional and modern contexts is crucial to understanding how societies use performance to address collective values, identity, and power. Purpose. This study aims to explore the social functions of performance in traditional rituals and contemporary theatre, focusing on how these practices facilitate cultural expression, identity formation, and the negotiation of social roles. The research investigates the transformation of performance across historical contexts and its continued significance in modern societies. Method. This qualitative study employs a comparative analysis of selected traditional rituals and modern theatrical performances. Data collection includes field observations, textual analysis of performance scripts, and interviews with practitioners in both domains. Results. The research finds that both traditional rituals and contemporary theatre continue to play key roles in reinforcing and challenging social norms, identity, and power structures. However, the function of performance has evolved, with traditional rituals focusing on spiritual and social cohesion, while modern theatre emphasizes personal expression and critique. Conclusion. The study concludes that performance, whether ritualistic or artistic, remains a critical medium for cultural negotiation, serving both to preserve traditions and to engage with contemporary issues of identity, community, and power.
