Abstract

This basic content analysis-based journalism training was held for fourth-semester students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting (KPI) Study Program at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta to support the learning outcomes of the Fundamentals of Journalism course taught by M. Sinung Restendy, M.Si. The main objective of the training was to improve students' theoretical understanding and practical skills in analyzing media content critically and systematically. The training method combined theoretical approaches, case studies, and direct practice using online news from national media. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in understanding the concept of content analysis, identification of media framing, and awareness of ideological bias in reporting. This training was based on mass communication theory (McQuail), content analysis (Krippendorff), framing (Goffman and Eriyanto), and agenda setting theory (McCombs & Shaw). The findings showed that the training was able to shape students' critical attitudes as prospective ethical and responsible journalists. Therefore, this activity is recommended to be a sustainable program with the development of more in-depth advanced materials and an approach based on Islamic values. This training has made a real contribution to strengthening media literacy and journalistic competence of KPI students.

Abstract

This research examines the challenges and successes of United Nations (UN)-led ceasefire enforcement in the protracted Israel-Palestine conflict. It explores the operational, political, and diplomatic complexities the UN faces in mediating and maintaining ceasefires in one of the world's most contentious and enduring conflicts. The study highlights the limitations of UN peacekeeping mechanisms, such as impartiality and resource constraints, and the influence of powerful state actors with vested interests in the region. Through a review of historical ceasefires and their enforcement, the research identifies key factors contributing to both their failures and occasional successes, such as localized trust-building efforts, international diplomatic pressure, and grassroots cooperation. It underscores the need for more robust frameworks that address asymmetries of power, incorporate regional stakeholders, and enhance the UN’s capacity for long-term conflict resolution. The findings offer insights into the broader implications for international peacekeeping and propose recommendations for strengthening the UN's role in navigating complex geopolitical disputes like Israel-Palestine.

Abstract

  Abstract. This study evaluates whether and how agricultural cooperative membership shapes multidimensional household empowerment in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan. Objectives were to (1) estimate the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) of cooperative membership on economic, social and political empowerment indicators, and (2) uncover mechanisms driving observed effects. Methods employed a convergent mixed-methods impact evaluation: a structured household survey of 420 households (210 cooperative members; 210 matched non-members) analyzed with one-to-one nearest-neighbor propensity score matching (caliper = 0.05) to estimate ATT and balance covariates, alongside 24 purposive in-depth interviews coded using a hybrid deductive–inductive approach in NVivo; scale reliability (Cronbach’s α > 0.78) and integration via joint displays were applied. Results show substantive gains for members: annual farm income (ATT = USD 128.45), access to microcredit (+12.8 percentage points), women’s household decision-making (+17.4 percentage points), and social-capital index (+0.65 points); qualitative evidence attributes these gains to strengthened social capital, peer mentoring, and collective bargaining. The cross-sectional design constrains causal inference beyond ATT estimates and suggests longitudinal or experimental follow-ups.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the backbone of Indonesia’s economy, contributing significantly to employment creation, income distribution, and national economic growth. However, in the face of globalization and free trade, MSMEs struggle with intense competition from low-cost and high-quality imported products. This study aims to explore strategies for empowering local MSMEs to effectively compete against foreign goods in both domestic and international markets. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method supported by literature review and policy evaluation, the research adopts a systematic approach involving multi-stakeholder synergy. Findings reveal that MSME empowerment must focus on enhancing access to finance, improving human capital, embracing digital technology, and optimizing marketing strategies. Government support in the form of adaptive regulations, robust infrastructure, and fiscal incentives is crucial to strengthening MSME competitiveness. Furthermore, the integration of information technology reduces transaction costs and significantly boosts market reach. The article proposes a collaborative empowerment model involving government, financial institutions, industry players, and civil society to foster a resilient, export-oriented MSME ecosystem.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are a strategic sector in Indonesia's economy due to their role in employment and economic growth. However, access to financing that aligns with Islamic principles remains a significant challenge. Islamic banks emerge as an alternative solution by offering interest-free financial products and promoting economic empowerment grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic banks in empowering MSMEs based on Islamic economics, focusing on financing, mentoring, and capacity building. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature reviews and in-depth interviews with MSME actors and Islamic bank representatives. The findings indicate that Islamic banks serve not only as financial providers through instruments such as mudharabah and musyarakah, but also as strategic partners in managerial development, entrepreneurial training, and market access. The concept of maqashid sharia underpins efforts to foster economic blessings and distributive justice for small business actors. In conclusion, the empowerment of MSMEs by Islamic banks demonstrates the synergy between Islamic financial principles and Islamic economic values, contributing to the sustainable strengthening of the ummah's economy.

Abstract

Fair and transparent elections, composed of informed citizenry and worthy leaders, are the lifeblood of a democratic system. The study upholds the significant and multifaceted role that money plays in influencing the outcomes of local government elections, with a particular focus on Chapainawabganj Sadar. In recent years, the influence of financial power in democratic processes, especially at the grassroots level, has become increasingly evident. This research aims to understand how monetary involvement affects voter behavior, candidate selection, campaign strategies, and ultimately, election results in the region. Through both quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, and analysis, the study finds that money is a dominant factor in determining electoral success. Candidates with substantial financial resources are able to conduct extensive campaigns, offer incentives to voters, and gain higher visibility through posters, banners, and media coverage. On the other hand, financially weaker candidates often struggle to compete on an equal footing, regardless of their merit or community support. The findings also suggest that voters in Chapainawabganj Sadar are increasingly becoming influenced by short-term material benefits such as cash, gifts, or promises of future favours, which undermines the essence of free and fair elections. This economic influence not only distorts democratic values, but also leads to the election of individuals who may prioritize personal or business interests over public welfare. Overall, the research concludes that the impact of money in local elections is deep-rooted and complex. In the case of Chapainawabganj Sadar, it not only affects the fairness of electoral competition, but also raises serious questions about the quality of representation and accountability in local government. The study calls for stronger regulations, greater transparency, and civic awareness to ensure a more democratic and equitable electoral process at the local level.

Abstract

SDG 4 stands for giving everyone good and equal education and chances to keep learning throughout life. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an undeniable role in tackling educational challenges in rural Bangladesh, where poverty, lack of awareness, poor infrastructure, and social barriers limit access to quality education. This study reviews the work of NGOs over recent decades to understand how they have helped improve education in rural communities. It examines how NGOs have addressed issues such as enrollment, literacy, gender equality, community involvement, and sustainability. The findings show that NGOs have increased school attendance and literacy through community-based non-formal education, scholarships, teacher training, life skills programs, and digital learning initiatives. They have also promoted gender equality and encouraged local communities to take part in education programs. Despite their success, NGOs face challenges including funding shortages, weak infrastructure, technological gaps, social resistance, and coordination difficulties with government agencies. The study offers practical suggestions for improving collaboration with the government, securing funding, enhancing teacher support, expanding digital access, and building climate resilience into education programs. Overall, the study provides clear insights for policymakers, educators, and development practitioners aiming to strengthen rural education.
