This research aims to investigate the psychological conditions of Josh's character in Sonia Mael's No Ordinary Love novel through borderline personality disorder theory by John G. Gunderson. A borderline personality disorder is an intense emotional dysregulation that can affect someone's personality. The research uses a qualitative method, and the writers are the instrument themselves. In order to analyse Josh's character, the writers use the characterisation theory by Richard Gill. Besides that, the writers focus on character psychological problems with borderline personality disorder theory by John G. Gunderson, which has several concepts; signs and symptoms, causes and impacts, and its developed traits. The result of the research is that Josh's character has a distortion in his personality growth because of his childhood trauma which developed his personality and emotion in what he experienced and perceived. As an educated person, he is good at positively managing things, as his thoughts try to stay sane in living his life. However, his emotional-behavioural management is disturbed by how his experience and self-growth developed his perceptions. In addition, he has developed all nine signs and symptoms of BPD which is also added by several other traits associated with how he acted out as a high-functioning BPD type. Although he has grown up unconsciously developing it, the positive traits also remain to keep it together in himself. In sum, his behaviour is proven to be borderline personality disorder symptoms caused by the personality growth he passed since traumatic experiences in his childhood.

This research aims to investigate the prejudice experienced by young Muslims in the United States and examine their responses as portrayed in Saadia Faruqi’s Yusuf Azeem is not a Hero (2021). The writers use close textual analysis in analyzing the primary text to examine the prejudice and responses portrayed by the young Muslims in the novel. In doing so, the writers employ Gordon Allport's theory of prejudice to comprehend the prejudice experienced by young Muslims and Simpson & Yinger's theory of response to prejudice to examine the responses of young Muslims. The results of the analysis reveal that young Muslim-Americans experience prejudice in various forms, which affects their social lives and shapes their identities. Their responses to this prejudice also vary, depending on the specific situation, their personal experiences, and their understanding of the 9/11 tragedy. Thus, responses were seen in the form of resistance and negotiation of their identities. This study reveals that the 9/11 tragedy significantly impacted the Muslim community, especially Muslim youth who did not experience the tragedy but being subjected to discrimination and physical violence.

This research explores the binary opposition between the East and the West in A Land of Permanent Goodbyes and analyzes how these oppositions reinforce Edward W. Said's Orientalism. The method of the research is using a qualitative descriptive method by identifying, interpreting, and describing specific passages from the novel to examine the depiction of Muslim identity in the limited frame of Western perceptions. Said’s theory serves as the theoretical framework for this research. The findings reveal that the binary opposition between the East and the West creates stereotypes in which the East, often associated with Islam, is portrayed as inferior, while the West is depicted as superior to maintain white supremacy. This aligns with Said’s argument that Orientalist discourse creates a biased understanding of the East, positioning the West as the standard against which the East and, by extension, Islam are measured in old-fashioned ways. As a result, the narrator appears to adopt an Orientalist viewpoint, representing Islamic traditions as backward while portraying the West as a symbol of rationality and progress to maintain colonial manners. Such representations lead to a perception in which the Islamic world is seen as falling behind the West in terms of both culture and civilization. These stereotypes, rooted in Orientalism, also affect how Muslims view themselves in Western society.

Over the past two decades, Indonesia’s economy has experienced complex dynamics, with Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serving as the backbone of the national economy. However, amid the rapid pace of digitalization, many MSME actors still face significant challenges in adapting to modern technology and branding strategies. This research and community service activity aims to analyze the urgency of enhancing MSME branding strategies in Rempoa Village through digital literacy and banner design rebranding from the perspective of neoclassical economic theory. The method employed is a collaborative approach through the 2025 Community Service Program (KKN) Group 20 of South Tangerang, involving direct participation of MSME owners in the redesign process of their business banners. This approach focuses on improving digital literacy and implementing visual rebranding as forms of entrepreneurial innovation aligned with the principles of efficiency and human capital investment. The results indicate that improving digital literacy expands market access, increases efficiency, and strengthens entrepreneurs’ adaptability to changing consumer behavior, while banner design rebranding effectively creates product differentiation, enhances business image, and increases visual appeal—positively influencing sales and brand awareness. From a neoclassical perspective, these strategies reflect the application of economic rationality principles in achieving market equilibrium, while Schumpeter’s concept of creative destruction is evident through visual transformation that replaces outdated strategies with modern and innovative approaches. Overall, the collaboration between academics and MSME actors through this KKN program successfully generated tangible impacts in strengthening the local economy, where digital literacy and banner design rebranding serve as concrete steps toward sustainable economic development based on innovation, efficiency, and entrepreneurial independence.
