Muhammadiyah has experienced a reality that forces it to adapt to the challenges and pressures of the dynamics of social life. This research examines the dialectics of the Islam-based Muhammadiyah organization in the context of local culture in order to face challenges and make social adaptations. The main problem is the interaction between the Muhammadiyah organization and the dynamic socio-cultural environment. A qualitative approach was used with in-depth interviews and participatory observation as data collection techniques. The sample consisted of Muhammadiyah members and local community leaders. The results showed that Muhammadiyah faced various social challenges and successfully adapted to changes in the local community by integrating religious values with local culture. The relevant and inclusive adaptation strategies employed by Muhammadiyah reflect a dynamic response to changing social dynamics, allowing them to remain relevant and connected to local communities in a diverse cultural context. The implications of this study discuss the importance of a deeper understanding of the complexity of Muhammadiyah social adaptation in understanding local community dynamics and encourage further research and relevant interventions in this area.

This study investigates the challenges faced by women in maintaining digital security amid rising cyberattacks and examines the effectiveness of gender-sensitive policies and educational programs aimed at improving women’s cybersecurity. As cyber threats increasingly target women, understanding their unique vulnerabilities and the role of specific protective measures is crucial. The research utilizes a quantitative approach with a structured questionnaire distributed to 150 participants across four faculties of an online university, including Medical, Economics, Education, and Computer Science. The data collected were analyzed to assess perceptions of digital security challenges, the effectiveness of gender-sensitive policies, and the importance of educational programs in enhancing women’s participation in cybersecurity. Results indicate that while gender-sensitive policies are viewed as somewhat effective, there is significant support for targeted educational programs to increase women’s involvement in cybersecurity. The findings highlight the need for more refined policies and better educational initiatives to address women’s unique digital security needs effectively. The study underscores the importance of implementing comprehensive strategies to improve women’s cybersecurity and promote their active participation in the sector.

The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach while the data collection technique is through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that the use of Instagram by teenagers can affect social networks.

However, the use of Instagram can also expand teens' social networks by allowing them to connect with people from different backgrounds. The results of our research show that Instagram has become a significant platform for sociology students to build and expand social networks. Through features such as following, liking, and commenting on posts, sociology students can connect with fellow students, lecturers, and professionals in the field of sociology. In analyzing the data collected, we found that the use of Instagram by sociology students made it possible to expand the social network widely. Sociology students connect with people who share similar interests and interests in sociology, both on campus and off-campus.
