Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating Asta Cita values and religious moderation in improving students’ digital literacy in the post-truth era. The phenomenon of the rapid flow of digital information often leads to the spread of disinformation and the degradation of ethical values among young people, necessitating a learning approach that is not only cognitive but also grounded in spiritual and moral values. This research uses a mixed method approach, involving two groups of students: a group that received Asta Cita value-based learning and religious moderation, and a group that did not participate in Asta Cita value-based learning and moderation. Quantitative data was obtained thru digital literacy tests, while qualitative data was collected thru observation and reflective interviews. The research results show that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement in digital literacy skills, particularly in the aspects of critical thinking, media ethics, and moderation awareness in technology use. The integration of Asta Cita values such as tat twam asi (empathy), dharma santosa (peace), and jana kerthi (social service) can foster a sense of responsibility and social sensitivity in digital interactions. Meanwhile, the application of religious moderation values strengthens students’ ability to objectively filter information and avoid extreme attitudes in responding to digital issues. Thus, this study concludes that integrating Asta Cita values and religious moderation into learning can be an effective strategy for building intelligent, ethical digital character rooted in national values in the post-truth era.

Abstract

Usada Bali is a traditional healing system rich in empirical and spiritual knowledge, transmitted through palm-leaf manuscripts (lontar), cultural practice, and Balinese Hindu cosmology. This study explores the functions, classifications, and processing of Nyuh Madan (Cocos nucifera) as a sacred medicinal plant within the usada tradition. The research investigates its use as a herbal remedy, a medium for spiritual purification, a tool in ritual healing, and a cosmological symbol in Balinese belief systems. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytic approach supported by structural-functional theory, Ayurvedic principles, and reception theory, data were gathered through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with balian (traditional healers) and pemangku (temple priests), as well as philological analysis of lontar texts. The findings reveal over 100 distinct types of Nyuh Madan, classified by morphology, spiritual properties, and therapeutic function. The traditional production of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) through natural fermentation and sedimentation preserves the bioactive integrity of the plant. Laboratory tests confirm that VCO contains high concentrations of lauric acid and antioxidants with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulating properties. User testimonials further validate its effectiveness in treating both physical ailments (sekala) and metaphysical imbalances (niskala). These results affirm Nyuh Madan not merely as an agricultural commodity but as an intangible cultural heritage symbolizing the harmony of health, spirituality, and ecological wisdom in Balinese life
