Abstract

Generation Z has become a dominant workforce cohort, whose expectations for openness, flexibility, and meaningful work often intersect with the multicultural and multigenerational dynamics of local workplaces. This study aims to examine how Generation Z employees in West Kalimantan socially adapt to organizational environments shaped by the interethnic TIDAYU (Dayak–Malay–Chinese) context. Using an exploratory qualitative design, the research involved 18 participants aged 18–28 years from the service, retail, education, and MSME sectors in Pontianak, Singkawang, and Ketapang. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, generating 138 codes, 24 subcategories, and three themes. The findings revealed three dominant adaptation patterns: communication adjustment, learning from senior workers, and seeking clarity and meaning in work. Organizational factors—particularly open leadership and flexible work structures–significantly facilitate adaptation, while authoritarian leadership and rigid structures hinder it. Peer support emerged as the strongest community factor accelerating Gen Z’s social adjustment, supported by multicultural workplace values fostering acceptance and comfort. The study concludes that Gen Z’s adaptation is an interactive, context-dependent process shaped by personal strategies, organizational culture, and social dynamics of TIDAYU communities. These insights emphasize that successful adaptation occurs when organizational values align with the generational needs and local cultural norms. The findings highlight the importance of adopting inclusive leadership, establishing flexible work systems, and strengthening cross-generational and cross-cultural engagement to enhance Gen Z integration and workplace harmony in multicultural regions.

Abstract

Pesantren and their Kitab Kuning tradition are widely framed as pillars of religious moderation in Indonesia, yet this dominant narrative often overlooks the internal diversity and ambivalence of classical juridical and theological discourses. This study critically reexamines the assumption that Kitab Kuning teaching uniformly produces moderate Islam by analyzing how moderate and non-moderate statements coexist within authoritative texts and how their vocabularies and epistemological orientations shape interpretations in plural societies. Using qualitative content analysis, the authors reviewed a corpus of widely used pesantren editions and purposively selected classical works that explicitly contain statements on tolerance, exclusion, and delegitimization, focusing on Fath al-Mu‘in, I‘ānat al-Thalibin, al-Majmu‘ Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, Sharh Sahih Muslim, and Kifayat al-Akhyar (with complementary reference to other texts). Textual segments were coded as “moderate” when they acknowledged legitimate plurality or used inclusive legal language, and as “non-moderate” when they employed categorical delegitimation (e.g., heresy or unbelief). The interpretation was then situated within historical and epistemological frames (bayani, ‘irfani, burhani) and reread for contemporary relevance. Results show two recurring and systematic patterns: inclusive-juridical markers such as qala fulan/qila, khilafan, qaulani, wajh/aujuh that normalize disagreement and epistemic openness, and exclusionary markers such as bid‘ah qabihah/munkarah, ahl al-dalalah, la yashihhu, and kufr that invalidate practices or groups (including intra-madhhab and inter-madhhab exclusions and condemnations of certain ritual innovations and beliefs). Exclusionary judgments appeared predominantly in strongly bayani-oriented fiqh and theological formulations, whereas pluralizing vocabularies were more frequent in ‘irfani or burhani tendencies. The findings imply that moderation in pesantren is not inherent in Kitab Kuning but emerges through selective, critical, and contextual reading. Religious moderation programs should therefore strengthen critical hermeneutics and reader responsibility. The study is limited by selective sampling and does not comprehensively map socio-political contestations.

Abstract

This article explores how three state-sponsored Qurʾānic exegeses-al-Muntakhab (Egypt), al-Muyassar (Saudi Arabia), and al-Wajiz (Indonesia)-conceptualize the essence of religion and articulate models of interreligious relations. These tafsirs are selected because they are produced by official state institutions and therefore reflect the ideological orientations and religious policies of their respective governments. Employing a qualitative comparative method, this study combines theoretical hermeneutics to reconstruct the historical meanings of the tafsirs with philosophical hermeneutics to assess their relevance for contemporary Indonesian society. The analysis focuses on three dimensions: methodological identity, the conception of religion in terms of unity and diversity, and approaches to interreligious relations encompassing dialogue, social harmony, and cooperation. The findings demonstrate that although the three tafsirs share fundamental theological premises-such as monotheism, prophetic continuity, and moral universality-they differ significantly in interpretive orientation. Al-Muntakhab reflects a rational-moderate Azhari tradition, al-Muyassar adopts a scripturalist Salafi framework with exclusivist tendencies, while al-Wajiz advances an inclusive and accommodative hermeneutic aligned with Indonesia’s pluralistic ethos and the principle of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. This study argues that state-sponsored tafsir functions not merely as a religious text but as an ideological instrument that shapes public religious discourse. When oriented toward justice, equality, and interreligious cooperation, such tafsir can contribute meaningfully to religious moderation in plural societies.

Abstract

   This study examines the behavior of policing-relevant administrative indicators in Ukraine across 2019–2024, spanning pre-escalation conditions and the period following the large-scale escalation of armed conflict beginning in February 2022. Using a measurement-aware, mixed-method descriptive design, we compile indicators across five domains: crime-processing backbone (registered and solved crimes), domestic-violence reporting, missing-persons caseload, institutional workload/service demand, and public trust in police. The evidence shows a clear discontinuity around 2022, where several domains stop behaving like extensions of pre-war patterns and begin reflecting a different measurement environment. Registered and solved crimes reverse direction after 2021 and expand through 2024, while the clearance proxy rises overall but does not move smoothly. Domestic-violence reports show volatility followed by post-2021 elevation, missing-persons magnitudes expand in post-2022 snapshots, and trust softens from 2023 to 2024. Cross-domain comparison reveals both convergence (multiple indicators shifting together around 2022) and divergence (clearance and trust moving differently from crime volumes). We interpret these patterns through an institutional-output lens: observed series are jointly shaped by changing reporting conditions, recording practices, coverage, and case processing constraints, not just by underlying prevalence. The study demonstrates a crisis-ready approach where indicators are reported faithfully to their public form, discontinuities are made explicit, and conclusions avoid over-claiming. Recommendations include pairing numbers with coverage/definitional metadata, treating cross-domain divergence as an audit trigger, and strengthening multi-source triangulation to distinguish changes in harm from changes in measurement.

Abstract

A fuel fraud scandal involving fraudulent practices has caused financial losses and eroded consumer trust in the Madiun Regency, Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the influence of product quality on consumer trust and fuel purchasing decisions in the aftermath of the scandal, with consumer trust as a mediating variable. This quantitative study employed convenience sampling of 200 respondents from the Muslim community in Madiun Regency, with data collection conducted in November 2025. Data analysis was conducted using the SEM-PLS. The results indicate that product quality has a positive and significant effect on consumer trust (β = 0.451) and purchase decisions (β = 0.414), whereas consumer trust significantly influences purchase decisions (β = 0.307). Testing for indirect effects showed that consumer trust partially mediates the relationship between product quality and purchase decisions (β = 0.127). The results show that product quality and trust are important factors influencing post-scandal purchasing behavior. These findings have practical implications for companies and the government to improve transparency and quality control, as well as help consumers make more informed and safer purchasing decisions.

Abstract

Rapid reforms in Ukraine’s security and defence sectors, driven by Russian aggression and martial law, have expanded police roles and highlighted the need for clear public safety legislation. This study examines the usage of Ukrainian terms—публічна (publichna) and громадська (hromadska)— in police and security laws, assessing whether their plurality serves political-legal functions or is due to non-strategic drafting. A hybrid framework was used, including politics-of-naming diagnostics and doctrinal-functional analysis, to identify strategic term usage. A diachronic comparison of the original and amended texts was conducted using Rada records. The core corpus includes the Laws on the National Police (2015), National Guard (2014), National Security (2018), Code of Administrative Offences (1984), Martial Law (2015), and MIA Order No. 706 (2018). Mapping, diachronic verification, and functional testing were used to classify the occurrences of these terms. The results show structured plurality: publichna is focused on Police Law, while hromadska is prevalent in national security, the National Guard, administrative offenses, and martial law legislation, with intra-police-law mixing in Articles 23(1)(27) and 45(3). Three strategic loci were found: definitional asymmetry (hromadska is defined in the National Security Law, publichna is operational in the Police Law), intra-act register switching for group violations, and a diachronic shift under Law No. 1702-IX (effective January 1, 2022) replacing earlier terms with hromadska in Martial Law. The non-strategic remainder reflects referential convergence, offence classification, and subordinate doctrine, including de-escalatory crowd management under the Scandinavian model. The study concludes that full terminological unification would erase doctrinal information; instead, it supports targeted consolidation for non-strategic convergence (via a single amendment to Article 1(1)(3) of the National Security Law) and statutory acknowledgment of differential effects where naming is strategically significant, a need heightened by wartime police power expansion and accountability demands

Abstract

This study explores the application of Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy in Arabic learning to provide structured and diverse educational experiences that improve student understanding and mastery of the language. Utilizing an exploratory approach, the study engaged Arabic lecturers from nine public institutions across Sumatra and Java through a self-report survey based on Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. The data analysis revealed a generally positive attitude towards technology integration among lecturers, though areas such as online lecture attendance and addressing student differences require improvement. The findings suggest that while educators possess strong technical, pedagogical, and content knowledge, there is a need to enhance the use of online media platforms and the understanding of Arab culture in teaching. The study highlights the importance of adopting Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy to optimize digital tool usage across various cognitive levels and offers practical guidance for Arabic educators. By addressing these areas, educators can provide a more comprehensive and engaging learning experience, ultimately preparing students for success in a digitally driven world. Further research is necessary to refine pedagogical strategies and evaluate long-term linguistic proficiency and cultural competence outcomes.

Abstract

Ritual multilingualism in Islamic communities is often viewed as syncretic, hybrid, or acculturative. Such forms rarely reflect an indexical hierarchy of language use. This study examines how linguistic hierarchy is organized within the Ulu Kapuas Malay or Melayu Ulu Kapuas (MUK) incantations of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The study draws on 72 incantation texts categorized by the community as tawar, cuca, ilmu, and jayau, supported by in-depth interviews with custodians of the MUK cultural traditions, as well as contextual field documentation. The data were coded according to language choice (MUK, Arabic, and Indonesian) and structural position within the ritual text (opening, core, and closing), and then analyzed qualitatively to identify recurrent functional patterns in ritual performance. The interpretation focuses on how these patterned distributions index religious authority, cultural legitimacy, and communicative mediation. The findings show that ritual multilingualism in this corpus is not an eclectic mixture but a structured semiotic hierarchy. MUK consistently serves as the performative core of ritual action and grounds it in emic cosmology. Arabic appears primarily in the opening and closing formulas of the incantations, serving to frame the rituals and sacralizing and legitimizing in ritual. Meanwhile, Indonesian functions more peripherally as a narrative and mediating code, occasionally supporting communicative clarity without displacing the ritual role of the MUK. By demonstrating that local efficacy and Islamic legitimacy are jointly produced through distinct linguistic roles, this study enhances the socio-linguistic understanding of the relationship between language and religion from the perspective of local communities.

Abstract

This study identifies and analyzes contemporary challenges in combating economic crime in modern states, using Ukraine as a case study. Combining doctrinal legal analysis with descriptive secondary data, it draws on statutory and international-convention reviews, as well as institutional reports, including January–September 2024 data from the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine, to examine the structural, operational, and legal dimensions of economic-crime enforcement. The analysis is descriptive and interpretive rather than causal. Over the nine-month period, more than 1.3 million financial transactions were reported for monitoring, with roughly one in five flagged for suspected money laundering, corruption, or terrorism financing; yet only a small share progressed to referral, prosecution, or confiscation. The enforcement chain narrows most sharply not at the generation of financial intelligence but at its conversion into investigations and resolved cases, an attrition that coincides with weak inter-agency coordination, limited adoption of advanced financial analytics, fragmented legal frameworks, and constrained cross-border data-sharing. A comparison with the more highly rated regimes of Singapore and Estonia, drawn from their mutual-evaluation reports, locates the same downstream bottleneck and clarifies where Ukraine's framework falls short. The study contributes a descriptive map of the interplay between institutional capacity and cross-border legal constraints in economic-crime enforcement. It proposes operational measures, including binding inter-agency service-level agreements, real-time data-exchange platforms, certified investigator training, and updated mutual legal assistance treaties enabling early-stage asset tracing, to help move enforcement from formal compliance toward measurable outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines Madura bull racing as ancestral cultural heritage with significant historical, social, and economic value. However, from an Islamic perspective, this practice has generated considerable debate within the community. Although the tradition has become an annual event supported by the government, previous practices have, in some respects, inadequately addressed animal welfare. It analyzes animal welfare ethics within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), specifically focusing on ḥuqūq al-ḥayawān, and assesses cultural preservation from the Islamic perspective of al-‘ādah muḥakkamah. A descriptive qualitative method was used to analyze interview data from informants, including youth leaders, religious figures, former practitioners, and current practitioners. The findings indicate that the Madura bull racing tradition previously involved the use of balm, chillies, and sharp objects to hasten the animals, constituting animal cruelty, which is prohibited by Islam. Following criticism from various societal sectors, regulations now prohibit such objects, allowing only the use of whips. Regarding animal welfare, owners provide special care by feeding the bulls herbal remedies made from free-range chicken eggs, housing them in high-quality pens, and ensuring monthly veterinary health checks. However, interviews revealed that some individuals continued to secretly employ old methods, violating the rules. As currently regulated, bull racing aligns with Islamic principles, since acts of violence are no longer permitted; what remains is not a flaw in the tradition itself but the failure of a few participants to comply, indicating a need for firmer oversight and enforcement.
