Abstract

This study aims to: (1) assess the performance of Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS) and Sharia Business Units (UUS) within Regional Development Banks (BPD) in Indonesia during 2022–2023 through the lens of the Sharia Maqasid Index (SMI); (2) evaluate their performance from the perspective of Sustainable Finance; and (3) compare the performance of BUS and UUS based on both analytical frameworks. A quantitative-descriptive method was employed, utilizing a document study approach. Data were collected from the annual reports of BUS and UUS at BPDs during the 2022–2023 period and analyzed using SMI indicators and Sustainable Finance principles. A weighted scoring and ranking technique based on Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) was applied to measure performance. The findings reveal that BUS and UUS experienced significant improvement in SMI performance, particularly in the dimensions of education (tahdz?b al-fard) and socio-economic contribution (jalb al-ma?la?ah). Banks such as NTB Syariah and Aceh Syariah excelled in maq??id based financing and zakat distribution, while UUS in Central Java and Nagari demonstrated strength in educational initiatives and social justice. In terms of Sustainable Finance, all banks fulfilled the four key indicators sustainable development, green economy, social responsibility, and separate sustainability reporting. However, most reports remained descriptive and lacked impact-based metrics. Overall, BUS exhibited stronger performance than UUS in integrating both maq??id principles and sustainability practices. These results highlight the need to strengthen performance evaluation frameworks grounded in Sharia values and sustainability to support the transformation of Islamic regional banks into inclusive and impactful institutions.

Abstract

This study seeks to ascertain the impact of superior service on student satisfaction with academic services, evaluated through five dimensions: physical appearance, responsiveness, reliability, empathy, and assurance. Data collection involved interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and documentation, followed by analysis through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion formulation. The research findings suggest that academic services at FITK UIN SU are typically effective and of excellent quality across all dimensions. Nonetheless, the physical appearance elements remain inadequate, including diminutive projectors, sluggish internet connectivity, inadequate air conditioning, compromised seating, and classroom capacity that fails to accommodate the student population. Nonetheless, the amenities for the postgraduate courses are more sufficient. These findings underscore the necessity for enhancements in buildings and infrastructure to bolster academic services. This research offers both theoretical and practical insights into educational policy, namely in primary services aimed at improving student happiness.

Abstract

Conflicts between extractive companies—particularly in the mining and palm oil sectors—and local communities in Indonesia represent a complex and enduring structural phenomenon. This study aims to identify and map scientific trends related to conflict management strategies in this context through a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database using selected keywords, covering publications from 2000 to 2024. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer software, focusing on keyword mapping, publication productivity, and networks of author and institutional collaboration. The results revealed three major clusters in the literature: (1) social conflict and conflict management models, (2) sustainability dimensions and corporate social responsibility (CSR), and (3) stakeholder engagement and governance complexity. These findings underscore the importance of a multidimensional approach to understanding conflicts in the extractive sector and highlight a shift in academic focus toward community participation and value-based conflict resolution models. This study contributes to the mapping of scientific knowledge and offers strategic references for policymakers and industry practitioners in designing fair and sustainable conflict resolution approaches.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Digital Technology Utilization, Local Wisdom Integration, and Economic Literacy on Student Business Performance (UMKM). The background of the study is rooted in the importance of strengthening student entrepreneurship in the digital era and local-based context, especially in facing market competition and the need to adapt to technological advances and cultural values. The research employed a quantitative approach with an associative design. The sample consisted of 40 student entrepreneurs from the Economic Education Department at FEB UNIMA, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that each independent variable (X1, X2, and X3) has a positive and significant effect on student business performance when tested separately. However, in the multiple regression model, although the overall model is statistically significant, the individual effects of each variable are not significant. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.297 indicates that the three variables combined explain 29.7% of the variance in student business performance. This study recommends a synergistic strategy combining digitalization, local culture preservation, and improved economic literacy to support the sustainable development of student-run UMKM.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the multicultural dynamics that emerge in the election process of a non-Muslim village head within a Muslim-majority community, using a case study of Perguroan Village, Bangun Purba Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency. The main focus of this research is to explore how social interactions, tolerance, and local democratic practices are carried out in a context of religious diversity that holds the potential for tension. The research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that, despite the potential for resistance based on religious identity, the community of Perguroan Village exhibits a high level of acceptance toward a non-Muslim village head. This is made possible by the strong presence of local values such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), respect for differences, and a long-standing history of interfaith coexistence. This study affirms that multicultural practices at the local level can function harmoniously when supported by an inclusive culture and leadership that is capable of bridging differences.

Abstract

Dhikr as the core of spiritual teachings and practices in Sufi orders, especially the Sammaniyah and Naqsabandiyah orders which are rapidly developing in Medan City. This study aims to compare the procedures, meanings, and socio-spiritual implications of the dhikr of the two orders, considering the fundamental differences between the dhikr jahr (loud) which is the characteristic of Sammaniyah and the dhikr khafi (silent) which is the identity of Naqsabandiyah. The research method used is a qualitative approach with field research and comparative studies, where data are collected through observation, interviews with mursyid and congregation in the field. The results of the study show that the Sammaniyah Order in Medan emphasizes dhikr jahr in congregation with the accompaniment of ratib, qasidah, and elements of body movement that create a dynamic spiritual atmosphere, while the Naqsabandiyah Order emphasizes dhikr khafi which is carried out individually or in small groups in a quiet and contemplative atmosphere. Both orders equally emphasize external and internal manners, as well as consistency in dhikr as a way of cleansing the soul and forming spiritual character. Where here we will find out how we can do dhikr for everyday life by knowing the dhikr in a congregation. The differences in dhikr methods create diversity in Sufism traditions but enrich Muslims' faith in Allah SWT.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political image-building strategy employed by Bobby Afif Nasution through social media in his effort to win the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election (Pilgub Sumut). Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research draws on data from observations of TikTok and Instagram content, interviews with active voters, and digital documentation collected during the campaign period. The analysis reveals that Bobby Nasution’s imaging strategy consists of four key aspects: personal branding, two-way interaction with the public, digital campaigning, and electability enhancement through positive narratives. This approach demonstrates the effective application of political and digital communication theories, evidenced by his consistent efforts to portray himself as a young, religious, and people-oriented leader. The strategy successfully shaped a positive public perception without employing negative narratives against political opponents, while strengthening emotional closeness with voters, particularly the younger generation. This study highlights the crucial role of social media as a primary channel for political communication in the context of modern electoral contests.
