Abstract

This study examines how geopolitical risk shapes renewable energy consumption in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, with particular attention to the mediating role of foreign direct investment. Against a backdrop of rising global geopolitical tensions and growing energy security concerns, the article aims to clarify whether geopolitical risk ultimately accelerates or constrains the transition toward renewable energy in advanced economies. Using a balanced panel of twenty-three Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries over the period 2000–2024, the analysis applies second-generation panel econometric techniques that account for cross-sectional dependence, non-stationarity, and long-run relationships. The empirical strategy combines cointegration tests, fixed effects estimation, and instrumental variable approaches to address endogeneity, alongside a mediation framework to evaluate the role of foreign direct investment. The results provide robust evidence of a long-run relationship between geopolitical risk and renewable energy consumption. Higher geopolitical risk is found to exert a positive and statistically significant effect on renewable energy consumption, indicating that heightened uncertainty encourages diversification away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources. Moreover, geopolitical risk is shown to increase foreign direct investment inflows into Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, which in turn further supports renewable energy consumption, confirming the presence of an indirect transmission channel. These findings remain stable across alternative measures of geopolitical risk and multiple robustness checks. Overall, the study concludes that geopolitical risk can act as a catalyst rather than a barrier to sustainable energy transition in advanced economies. The results highlight the importance of stable investment environments and proactive energy policies that leverage foreign direct investment to strengthen renewable energy deployment under conditions of global uncertainty.

Abstract

India and the Maldives have historically shared a relationship marked by fluctuating tides, but the diplomatic chill following the election of Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu—widely perceived as anti-India—signaled a sharp downturn. Tensions escalated when senior Maldivian officials made derogatory comments about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and mocked the government's efforts to promote Lakshadweep as a tourism destination. What followed was not just a state-to-state fallout, but a nationwide digital backlash. Indian citizens, leveraging social media platforms, initiated a widespread boycott of Maldivian tourism—a sector crucial to the island nation's economy. The economic ramifications were immediate and severe, leading to a diplomatic recalibration. In a striking reversal, President Muizzu extended an invitation to Prime Minister Modi to attend the Maldives’ 60th Independence Day celebrations as Guest of Honour, signaling a thaw driven not by elite diplomacy, but by popular digital dissent. This paper argues that this episode marks a transformative moment in India’s foreign policy architecture—where We the People of Bharat, through digital activism, public sentiment, and consumer choices, directly influence regional diplomacy. By framing this case as a paradigmatic shift from elite-driven diplomacy to people-powered digital governance, this paper interrogates how public sentiment, algorithmic visibility, and consumer nationalism shape contemporary geopolitical realignments. Situating this within the broader themes of governance transformation and regional diplomacy, the paper contends that digital publics now serve as critical actors in foreign policy processes, where statecraft is increasingly responsive to networked publics and the algorithmic amplification of national sentiment.

Abstract

This study examines how zakat crowdfunding can be optimized as an instrument for poverty alleviation through a case study of LAZISNU Special Region of Yogyakarta. Grounded in the context of persistent poverty and the underutilization of Indonesia’s vast zakat potential, the research aims to analyze the role of digital crowdfunding in enhancing the effectiveness, transparency, and social impact of zakat management. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the study collects data through in-depth interviews with zakat managers, donors, and beneficiaries, supported by participant observation and document analysis, with data validity ensured through triangulation. The findings show that zakat crowdfunding implemented by LAZISNU DIY operates through multiple digital platforms and is characterized by high transparency, ease of access, and active donor participation. These features strengthen public trust and significantly increase donor engagement, particularly among digitally literate contributors. The study also finds that zakat crowdfunding supports a shift from consumptive assistance toward productive and empowerment-oriented programs, such as microenterprise support, entrepreneurial training, and educational assistance, which contribute to greater economic resilience among beneficiaries. However, challenges remain, including uneven digital literacy, technological infrastructure constraints, and the need for stronger regulatory and governance frameworks. Overall, the study concludes that zakat crowdfunding represents a meaningful innovation in Islamic social finance, with important implications for zakat institutions and policymakers seeking sustainable poverty alleviation through transparent, technology-driven, and empowerment-focused zakat management.

Abstract

This study examines students’ understanding of moral ethics and its relationship with moral conduct in social media use among first-year students of the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Brawijaya. In the context of the increasing intensity of social media use among university students, this research aims to analyze how moral–ethical understanding shapes responsible, respectful, and ethical behavior in digital interactions. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected through an online questionnaire employing a Likert-scale instrument that measured two main variables: moral ethics understanding and moral conduct in social media use. The respondents consisted of 68 first-year engineering students selected through purposive sampling across several departments. The findings indicate a high level of moral ethics understanding among respondents, reflected in a strong tendency to agree with ethical principles such as respectful communication, protection of others’ privacy, responsibility for digital actions, and rejection of hoaxes, hate speech, and offensive content. Overall, positive responses dominated the data, suggesting that most students demonstrate commendable moral conduct in social media environments. The results further show a positive relationship between moral ethics understanding and moral behavior in social media use, indicating that students with higher ethical awareness tend to exhibit better moral conduct online. These findings underline the importance of moral and ethical education in higher education, particularly in preparing students to navigate digital spaces responsibly. The study concludes that strengthening moral ethics education can contribute to healthier and more ethical social media practices among university students, with implications for curriculum development and character education in academic institutions.

Abstract

This article examines the urgent need for a holistic philosophy of Islamic education capable of responding to moral, intellectual, and social challenges in Indonesia’s digital era. It aims to construct an integrative educational framework by synthesizing classical Islamic educational thought with contemporary reformist approaches, focusing particularly on Al-Ghazali’s concept of tazkiyah nafs and Fazlur Rahman’s double movement methodology. Employing qualitative library research, the study analyzes primary philosophical texts and key secondary literature through thematic content analysis, comparative interpretation, and conceptual synthesis, allowing classical and modern perspectives to be read dialogically and contextualized within current educational realities. The findings demonstrate that each thinker contributes a distinct but complementary dimension: Al-Ghazali emphasizes spiritual purification and moral formation; Ibn Sina highlights systematic intellectual development; Ibn Rushd advances the harmony of reason and revelation; Ibn Khaldun situates education within social and civilizational dynamics; and Fazlur Rahman provides a methodological bridge for reinterpreting Islamic ethical principles in contemporary contexts. Their synthesis results in a holistic epistemological model integrating textual reasoning, rational inquiry, and spiritual intuition, grounded in the objectives of Islamic law. The discussion shows that this model offers practical implications for curriculum design, teacher roles, and ethical engagement with digital technology, including responses to radicalism, moral erosion, and artificial intelligence. The study concludes that a synthesized philosophy of Islamic education can serve as a viable foundation for revitalizing Islamic education in Indonesia, fostering spiritually grounded, intellectually critical, and socially responsible learners in the digital age

Abstract

This study examines research trends on religious moderation in Islamic education in relation to metaverse technology during the period 2020–2025, responding to the growing urgency of integrating wasathiyah values with emerging immersive digital environments. The primary objective is to map the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and research gaps at the intersection of religious moderation, Islamic education, and metaverse-related technologies. Using a bibliometric approach, the study analyzed publications indexed in the Scopus database through keyword-based searches and processed the data with VOSviewer to generate co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence networks. The results reveal a steady increase in publications addressing religious moderation and Islamic education, while direct integration with metaverse concepts remains limited. Network and cluster analyses identify five major thematic clusters, including immersive learning technologies, religious moderation and tolerance, educational and socio-cultural contexts, supporting digital technologies and ethical challenges, and innovation and religious harmony. The findings indicate that although metaverse-related technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality are increasingly discussed in educational research, their application to fostering religious moderation in Islamic education is still fragmented and underexplored. This gap highlights weak interdisciplinary collaboration between education scholars and technology researchers. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that religious moderation in Islamic education is an expanding field with significant potential for integration with metaverse-based learning environments. The findings provide a comprehensive knowledge map and offer strategic insights for future research, policy development, and pedagogical innovation aimed at promoting tolerant, inclusive, and human-centered Islamic education in digital and immersive contexts.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental period in which social relationships play a central role in psychological well-being, and adolescents who live with siblings with special needs, often referred to as glass children, may be particularly vulnerable to loneliness. This study aimed to examine the association between sibling relationship quality and loneliness among adolescents who have and live with siblings with special needs. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 87 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years through purposive sampling. Loneliness was measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, while sibling relationship quality was assessed with the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire, covering warmth and closeness, power, conflict, and rivalry. Correlational analyses were conducted using Pearson and Spearman methods following tests of normality and linearity. The results indicated a significant negative association between warmth and closeness in sibling relationships and loneliness, suggesting that higher emotional closeness and affection between siblings are linked to lower levels of loneliness among glass children. In contrast, the dimensions of power, conflict, and rivalry showed weak and statistically non-significant relationships with loneliness, although their directional patterns varied. Additional analyses revealed that female adolescents reported significantly higher levels of loneliness than males, while no significant differences were found based on age group or birth order. Overall, the findings highlight the central role of emotional warmth and closeness in sibling relationships as a protective factor against loneliness in adolescents living with siblings with special needs. These results underscore the importance of fostering supportive sibling interactions within families as part of efforts to promote adolescent mental health in this population.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between social support and depression among first-year university students, a population widely recognized as vulnerable due to the psychological and social demands of transitioning into higher education. The primary objective is to analyze whether perceived social support is significantly associated with levels of depression in first-year students and to understand the direction and implications of this relationship. Using a quantitative, non-experimental correlational design, data were collected from 171 first-year students through standardized self-report instruments measuring depression and perceived social support from family, friends, and significant others. Because the data were not normally distributed, statistical analysis was conducted using Spearman correlation techniques. The results indicate a statistically significant but weak positive correlation between social support and depression, suggesting that higher levels of perceived social support were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. Further analysis across dimensions of social support revealed that family support showed the strongest correlation with depression compared to support from friends and significant others. These findings challenge the commonly held assumption that social support uniformly serves as a protective factor against depression. The discussion highlights that social support which is perceived as mismatched, pressuring, or emotionally unsupportive may instead contribute to psychological distress, particularly among students navigating early university adjustment. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the effectiveness of social support depends not only on its presence but also on its quality and contextual relevance. The findings underscore the importance of developing mental health interventions and support systems that are responsive to students’ actual emotional needs rather than relying solely on increasing social support availability.

Abstract

This article examines the implementation of the green economy in Indonesia and analyzes its implications for human rights within the framework of sustainable development. It aims to assess how national green economy policies and initiatives align with human rights principles and to what extent they contribute to inclusive and equitable development. Using a qualitative normative legal research method, the study relies on an analysis of statutory regulations, government policies, international reports, and relevant legal and policy documents, interpreted through a human rights–based approach and sustainable development theory. The findings show that Indonesia has adopted a range of legal and policy instruments supporting the green economy, particularly in the areas of energy transition, carbon pricing, environmental protection, and green investment. These initiatives have the potential to promote key human rights, including the right to a healthy environment, the right to health, the right to development, access to decent work through green jobs, and increased public participation in environmental governance. However, the study also identifies significant challenges in implementation, such as weak law enforcement, limited institutional capacity, insufficient monitoring mechanisms, and uneven inclusion of vulnerable groups, including local communities, women, and indigenous peoples. The analysis suggests that without strong governance, transparency, and accountability, green economy policies risk reproducing social inequalities and undermining human rights objectives. The article concludes that while the green economy offers meaningful opportunities to advance human rights in Indonesia, its success depends on strengthening legal frameworks, ensuring effective implementation, and embedding human rights considerations at every stage of policy design and execution, thereby supporting a just and inclusive transition toward sustainable development.

Abstract

This article examines the impacts of international trade on human rights and environmental protection in Indonesia, with the aim of explaining how increased integration into the global trading system has generated significant ecological degradation and, in turn, undermined the fulfillment of fundamental human rights. Using a qualitative descriptive and analytical methodology, the study relies on literature review of academic works, international legal instruments, national legislation, policy documents, and selected empirical cases related to trade, foreign direct investment, and natural resource exploitation in Indonesia. The analysis shows that international trade expansion has contributed to deforestation, water and air pollution, land degradation, and rising greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in sectors such as forestry, agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. These environmental impacts are closely linked to violations of human rights, including the rights to a healthy environment, clean water, adequate food, health, and the protection of indigenous communities. Drawing on dependency theory and the environmental human rights framework, the article argues that unequal global trade relations and weak domestic governance have intensified environmental burdens in developing countries like Indonesia. Although Indonesia has adopted various national laws and is party to international human rights and environmental agreements, enforcement remains inadequate due to weak regulatory oversight, limited accountability of corporations, and insufficient protection for affected communities. The study concludes that international trade, when not accompanied by strong environmental governance and human rights safeguards, poses serious risks to sustainable development. It highlights the need for stricter regulation, effective law enforcement, and the integration of human rights principles into trade and environmental policies to ensure that economic growth does not come at the expense of environmental sustainability and human dignity.
