Abstract

The mining industry faces complex ethical issues, ranging from environmental damage to social injustice, creating tensions between economic interests and moral responsibility. Christian values of human dignity, justice, and the mandate of creation management offer an ethical framework for reassessing mining practices. The gap between Christian work ethics and the reality of the field demonstrates the need for a contextual approach to practical theology. This study analyzes the application of Christian work ethics principles in mining dynamics through a qualitative literature study. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to explore, analyze, and systematize theological thinking about Christian work ethics in relation to the context of the mining industry.  The results confirm that morality, social responsibility, and fair relations with local communities are important foundations for the company's legitimacy. The integration of these values strengthens fair and sustainable corporate practices.

Abstract

The crisis of spirituality in the lives of Christians is increasingly seen through the fading of the consciousness of life before God or coram Deo. The pressures of modern culture, consumerism, and digital rhythms make the relationship with God superficial and tend to be ritualistic. The imbalance between religious activity and inner depth suggests that faith often turns into a formal identity without transformative power. Spiritual exhaustion, spiritual alienation, and superficial religious practices underscore the need to revisit the theological foundations of Christian spirituality. This research examines the meaning of the Deo coram as the basis for the renewal of spirituality today. This research uses a qualitative approach with the method of literature study, where the entire analysis is based on a systematic search of theological texts, contemporary academic works, classical spiritual writings, and historical sources on the concept  of coram Deo and Christian spirituality.

Abstract

Departing from the need to increase accuracy and accountability in data collection and distribution of subsidized fertilizers, this study examines the implementation of supervision of the e-RDKK Program at the Garut Regency Agriculture Office. The literature review is based on Handoko's supervision theory which includes four main stages: standard-setting, implementation measurement, comparison of results with standards, and corrective actions. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document reviews, with data analysis techniques oriented to categorization of field findings. The results of the study show that the implementation of supervision has gone quite well, especially through extension assistance, digital validation, and a mechanism for locking fertilizer allocation data. However, obstacles such as data mismatches, limited digital infrastructure, and delays in data updates are still major obstacles. Corrective actions are generally carried out reactively through reverification and updating of data directly in the system.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the meaning of social accountability in the practice of mutual cooperation of the people of Malang through the Village Clean Tradition (Merti Dusun), which is a forum for residents and MSME actors to participate in cultural activities. The research interprets texts, symbols, and cultural values such as tepo seliro, rukun, and amanah as the basis of a non-formal social accountability system by using an interpretive qualitative approach and hermeneutic literature review methods. The results of the study show that the practice of mutual cooperation forms a community-based social accounting model that balances social, economic, and spiritual values. Practically, this research forms the basis for policies to encourage the people's economy through local traditions. The novelty of this research lies in the meaning of the Merti Dusun Tradition as a living and humanist social accountability system.

Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with a number of key informants as well as participatory observations in the work environment. The collected data is then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns, categories, and themes that emerge from the informant's experience. The results of this study are in line with the findings in the study (Potu et al., 2021), which show that extrinsic and intrinsic motivation simultaneously play an important role in improving employee performance and work attitudes.

Abstract

This article examines contemporary academic work through a Marxian analysis of alienation in the context of digital capitalism and artificial intelligence (AI). The study aims to conceptualise how AI systems and platform infrastructures intensify existing forms of alienated labour and reshape higher education into what is described as the automatic university. Using a conceptual and critical methodology, the analysis synthesises key contributions from Marxian theory, critical political economy, and scholarship on digital labour and AI in education. The findings show that academic work is increasingly organised through automated governance that restructures time, evaluation, and judgement, leading to the dehumanisation of educational practices. The article concludes that educational resistance must be understood as a collective and institutional project, and that an ethics of academic work requires reclaiming judgement, authorship, and epistemic responsibility within increasingly automated universities.

The rapid and rapid change in the information system has led to an increase in the spread of hoax news, reduced public trust in objective facts, and encouraged opinions based on emotions and personal beliefs, so that it causes difficulties in verifying the truth in information or known as the post-truth phenomenon. This research aims to find out the application of truth theory in dealing with the phenomenon of post-truth is important to understand how humans interpret a reality. The research method used is qualitative research with a library research approach. The result of this research is that in determining the truth of information in this post-truth era, it is by using a multi-dimensional validity concept, which combines several theories that the researcher considers relevant, namely the theory of correspondence truth, the theory of coherence truth, and the pragmatic theory of truth.
