Abstract

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often face significant challenges in achieving full social inclusion within mainstream educational settings, particularly in countries with limited inclusive education infrastructures such as Indonesia. Despite the existence of inclusive education policies, actual practices in schools frequently fall short of supporting the social integration of students with ASD. This study aims to examine the extent and nature of social inclusion experienced by students with ASD in Indonesian mainstream classrooms from a social-psychological perspective. A mixed-methods design was employed, incorporating classroom observations, structured interviews with teachers, parents, and students, and quantitative surveys measuring peer acceptance and emotional well-being. The findings indicate that while policy frameworks endorse inclusion, students with ASD often experience social isolation, limited peer interaction, and inadequate teacher preparedness. Social acceptance was highly dependent on the teacher's attitude, peer training, and availability of support systems. The study concludes that achieving meaningful inclusion requires more than policy—it demands deliberate social and psychological interventions at the classroom level. These findings call for teacher training, inclusive pedagogy, and school-wide empathy-building programs to promote equitable learning environments for all students.

Abstract

Patriarchal norms continue to shape socio-religious expectations for Muslim women in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, where debates around gender, authority, and piety intersect within civil society spaces. Islamic feminist discourse has gained increasing visibility in recent years, yet questions remain regarding how women leaders in Muslim-majority contexts negotiate religious legitimacy while challenging gendered power structures. Malaysian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provide an important arena for examining the everyday strategies through which women navigate patriarchal constraints and articulate faith-based approaches to gender justice. This study aims to investigate how women leaders in Malaysian Islamic-oriented NGOs engage with Islamic feminist discourse to negotiate authority, cultivate legitimacy, and advance transformative social agendas. The research seeks to identify the discursive, religious, and organizational strategies that enable or hinder women’s leadership within patriarchal environments. A qualitative case-study approach was employed, drawing on in-depth interviews with fifteen female NGO leaders, participant observation of organizational activities, and document analysis of mission statements, program materials, and public advocacy texts. Data were analyzed using thematic coding informed by feminist theory, Islamic gender ethics, and discourse analysis. Findings reveal that women leaders strategically mobilize Qur’anic principles, prophetic narratives, and concepts of justice to challenge patriarchal interpretations while maintaining religious credibility. Participants reported using relational leadership styles, community-based legitimacy, and interpretive flexibility to navigate gendered expectations. The study concludes that Islamic feminist discourse serves as both a protective shield and a transformative tool, enabling women to assert leadership within constraints while promoting more inclusive understandings of Islam in civil society.

Abstract

The rapid growth of large-scale smart environments, including smart cities, autonomous transportation systems, and smart grids, has necessitated advanced decision-making mechanisms capable of adapting to dynamic and complex conditions. Intelligent agent systems (IAS) offer a promising solution by enabling decentralized, autonomous decision-making based on real-time data. This study explores the application of IAS for adaptive decision-making in large-scale smart environments, focusing on the challenges of scalability, resource allocation, and system responsiveness. The primary objective is to design and evaluate an intelligent agent system capable of operating efficiently in diverse, complex environments. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining simulations and real-world implementations in various smart environments, including energy grids, smart cities, and industrial automation systems. The results indicate that while IAS can perform effectively in smaller environments, performance decreases in large-scale systems due to increased agent interaction and data complexity. Scalability and adaptability remain significant challenges, with response times and resource allocation efficiency declining as the system size grows. The study concludes that further advancements are required in communication protocols and machine learning algorithms to enhance the scalability and real-time decision-making of IAS in large, interconnected systems.

Abstract

Inheritance in the Minangkabau community of West Sumatra represents a complex legal phenomenon that reflects the coexistence and tension between fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), adat (customary law), and state law. This study aims to analyze how these three normative systems interact, overlap, and negotiate authority in resolving inheritance disputes among Minangkabau people. Using a qualitative sociolegal approach, the research was conducted through indepth interviews, field observations, and document analysis of inheritance cases handled by both adat institutions and religious courts. The findings reveal that inheritance practices in Minangkabau are shaped by a hybrid legal culture: adat prioritizes matrilineal lineage and communal ownership, fiqh emphasizes individual entitlement based on Qur’anic prescriptions, while state law seeks harmonization through formal judicial mechanisms. In practice, local communities often employ adat principles for land and property distribution but rely on fiqhbased settlements when disputes escalate to formal courts. The study concludes that the coexistence of these systems demonstrates a dynamic legal pluralism, where social harmony is maintained through pragmatic compromise rather than rigid adherence to a single legal framework.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by rapid cognitive, emotional, and social changes that significantly influence learning processes and mental health outcomes. Cognitive development during this stage plays a central role in shaping adolescents’ academic engagement, self-regulation, and psychological well-being, yet it is often examined separately from educational and mental health perspectives. This study aims to investigate the role of cognitive development in adolescence and its implications for both education and mental health within an integrated framework. The research employed a quantitative cross-sectional design involving adolescents aged 13–18 years enrolled in secondary education. Data were collected using standardized instruments measuring cognitive development, educational engagement, and mental health well-being, and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings reveal significant positive relationships between cognitive development and educational engagement, as well as between cognitive development and mental health indicators. Adolescents with higher levels of cognitive functioning demonstrated stronger academic engagement and better emotional regulation. These results indicate that cognitive development functions as a key mechanism linking learning and mental health during adolescence. The study concludes that educational practices and mental health interventions should prioritize cognitive development as a foundational element.

Abstract

Islamic art and architecture represent a profound manifestation of the spiritual, cultural, and intellectual traditions of the Muslim world. Throughout history, artistic and architectural expressions in Islamic civilization have not only served aesthetic purposes but have also embodied theological principles and cultural identities. This study aims to analyze how theological concepts, cultural contexts, and aesthetic philosophies interact in shaping Islamic art and architecture across the Muslim world. The study employs a qualitative research design using an interdisciplinary analytical approach that integrates perspectives from Islamic studies, art history, cultural studies, and architectural theory. Data were collected through document analysis of architectural records, historical sources, and scholarly literature, followed by thematic interpretation and comparative analysis of selected Islamic architectural examples. The findings reveal that Islamic art and architecture consistently reflect theological concepts such as tawhid, harmony, and transcendence through geometric ornamentation, calligraphic decoration, and balanced spatial structures. Cultural diversity across regions contributes to stylistic variation while maintaining shared symbolic principles rooted in Islamic belief. The study concludes that Islamic art and architecture function as integrated expressions of theology, culture, and aesthetics, illustrating how religious worldview and cultural identity shape artistic creativity within the Muslim world.
