Abstract

This study examines the role of alternative investments in enhancing portfolio diversification effectiveness in the modern era, characterized by rapid economic dynamics, financial technology innovation, and growing investor demand for adaptive investment instruments. The research addresses the question of how alternative assets contribute to risk mitigation and portfolio stability compared to traditional investments. Employing a qualitative literature review method, this study synthesizes findings from recent empirical and theoretical studies on alternative investments, including cryptocurrencies, digital gold, fintech lending, alternative mutual funds, and collectible assets. The findings indicate that alternative investment instruments offer significant diversification benefits due to their relatively low correlation with conventional financial markets, thereby reducing concentrated risk and improving portfolio resilience. Furthermore, advancements in financial technology have expanded accessibility and participation across diverse investor segments, reinforcing the strategic relevance of alternative assets. This study argues that alternative investments constitute a viable long-term diversification strategy for modern investors navigating global economic uncertainty and seeking more robust, resilient portfolio structures.

Abstract

This study examines the historical development and socio-religious role of Muhammadiyah in Kulon Progo from 1926 to 2024 within the dynamics of local Islamic organizations. Using historical research methods—heuristic data collection, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography—it analyzes archival records, organizational documents, and oral testimonies to trace institutional transformation. The findings identify three major phases: consolidation during the late colonial and early independence periods; expansion of educational and health institutions during the New Order; and diversification of social engagement in the Reformasi era. Muhammadiyah functioned not only as a religious movement but also as a local agent of modernization through schools, healthcare services, and community-based programs. Its autonomous bodies, including ‘Aisyiyah, Hizbul Wathan, Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah, Pemuda Muhammadiyah, IPM, IMM, and Tapak Suci, significantly contributed to cadre formation, gender empowerment, youth mobilization, and civic participation. This study enriches local historiography by demonstrating Muhammadiyah’s institutional adaptability and ideological continuity across changing political regimes.

Abstract

Malala Yousafzai’s advocacy for girls’ education in Pakistan emerged within a socio-political context marked by entrenched patriarchy and systemic restrictions on women’s access to education. This study investigates how Malala’s struggle constitutes a form of feminist resistance against gender inequality and examines the extent to which her advocacy reshapes discourses and policies concerning women’s rights. Employing a qualitative approach with a literature-based research method, the study analyzes Malala’s speeches, writings, and institutional initiatives, particularly through the Malala Fund, to assess their social, political, and educational impact. The findings demonstrate that Malala’s activism not only amplified global awareness of girls’ education as a fundamental human right but also contributed to policy advocacy for more inclusive educational frameworks in Pakistan and beyond. Her movement challenges patriarchal norms by positioning education as a transformative instrument of empowerment and collective agency. The study argues that Malala’s feminist engagement illustrates how education functions as a strategic pathway to dismantle structural patriarchy and foster more equitable social change.

Abstract

Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia extended to Goranggareng District, Magetan Regency, where the imposition of a trade monopoly intensified economic hardship and contributed to rising social unrest and criminality in the early twentieth century. At the same time, the region was marked by the presence of several pesantren affiliated with Sufi orders that combined spiritual instruction with elements of martial discipline. This study investigates how these religious institutions shaped local social dynamics and responded to colonial domination between 1900 and 1935. Employing a qualitative social-historical approach, the research draws on archival records, Dutch-language newspapers, contemporaneous publications, and relevant scholarly works, analyzed through heuristic procedures, source criticism, and interpretative reconstruction. The findings demonstrate that Sufi-oriented pesantren played a pivotal role in cultivating moral solidarity, reinforcing communal identity, and providing a spiritual framework that legitimized forms of localized resistance. Rather than functioning merely as educational institutions, these pesantren operated as socio-religious networks that transformed marginalized actors into agents of anti-colonial patriotism. The article argues that the interplay between religious authority and subaltern resistance constituted a significant, though often overlooked, dimension of rural opposition to Dutch colonial power in Goranggareng.

Abstract

The concept of the indigenization of Islam was articulated by Abdurrahman Wahid, widely known as Gus Dur, in the 1980s as a response to tensions between religious universalism and Indonesia’s plural cultural landscape. This study examines how Wahid conceptualized a culturally responsive Islam and addresses the question of whether indigenization constitutes syncretism or a contextualization of Islamic teachings within local traditions. Employing a qualitative content analysis method, the research analyzes primary and secondary written sources, including books and scholarly articles relevant to Wahid’s thought. The findings indicate that indigenization does not imply theological compromise but rather situates Islam within a cultural framework that allows its normative teachings—particularly in the domains of fiqh, customary practices, textual interpretation, and political-ideological articulation—to be socially grounded and dialogical. Wahid argues that Islam becomes socially transformative not through coercion, but through cultural resonance and ethical engagement. The study concludes that the indigenization of Islam represents a strategic intellectual effort to harmonize religious orthodoxy with Indonesia’s socio-cultural plurality, thereby strengthening Islam’s legitimacy within a democratic and multicultural society.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Islam and democracy in the thought of Abdurrahman Wahid and Fethullah Gülen through a comparative framework. It addresses the question of whether democracy is inherently compatible with Islamic principles or constitutes a secular construct in tension with religious doctrine. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in contemporary Islamic intellectual studies, the research applies interpretative and comparative analysis to the primary works of both thinkers alongside relevant secondary literature. The findings demonstrate that Abdurrahman Wahid articulates democracy within a framework of religious humanism rooted in tawhid, pluralism, and the protection of human rights, whereas Fethullah Gülen emphasizes love, tolerance, and interreligious dialogue as the spiritual foundations of democratic life. Despite differences in socio-historical context and normative emphasis, both thinkers converge in viewing democracy as an ethical arena for realizing justice and human dignity. The study argues that religious humanism provides a viable conceptual bridge between Islam and democratic governance within contemporary Islamic thought.

Abstract

This study examines how variations in training–testing data partition ratios influence the performance of the Naive Bayes algorithm in predicting diabetes among women, addressing the problem of whether different split proportions meaningfully affect classification outcomes. Employing a quantitative experimental design, the research utilizes the Pima Indians Diabetes dataset comprising 768 records, which undergo preprocessing prior to model development using the Gaussian Naive Bayes method across three partition scenarios: 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. Model performance is assessed through accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to capture both predictive correctness and class sensitivity. The findings demonstrate that variations in data partitioning exert no statistically significant effect on overall model performance, as accuracy consistently ranges between 76% and 79% across all scenarios. Models trained with as little as 50% of the dataset still achieve comparable predictive capability, indicating stable generalization of the algorithm. The study argues that once a minimum threshold of training data is achieved, increasing data proportion does not substantially enhance performance, while class imbalance emerges as a more decisive factor influencing the effectiveness of diabetes prediction.

Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia continues to demonstrate persistent and increasingly complex recurrence despite the implementation of various preventive strategies, positioning Anti-Corruption Education as a central instrument for long-term character formation. This study investigates the underlying factors contributing to the persistence of corrupt practices and evaluates the effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Education in achieving its normative objectives. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through a systematic literature review of scholarly sources published between 2017 and 2025. The findings indicate that Anti-Corruption Education cannot be categorically deemed ineffective; however, its impact remains constrained by structural weaknesses, cultural normalization of corruption, and inconsistencies between normative educational values and real-world governance practices. The absence of credible role models among political elites further undermines its transformative potential. The study argues that corruption perpetuates illegitimate power structures, erodes public trust, weakens democratic institutions, and fosters socio-political instability. Strengthening Anti-Corruption Education requires a contextual, practice-oriented approach supported by an integrated integrity ecosystem involving educational institutions, government bodies, and society at large.

Abstract

Corruption continues to pose a pervasive challenge across social, political, and economic domains, requiring innovative preventive strategies that engage younger generations. Generation Z, characterized by high digital connectivity and active participation in online environments, represents a strategic demographic for the dissemination of anti-corruption values. This study investigates how social media functions as a medium for instilling anti-corruption values among Generation Z and examines the extent of its effectiveness in shaping attitudes and behaviors. Employing a qualitative approach through a literature review of recent scholarly works, this study analyzes patterns of digital engagement, content dissemination, and value internalization. The findings indicate that social media serves as a dynamic platform for education, advocacy campaigns, and character formation through interactive and visually engaging content. Its effectiveness, however, is contingent upon users’ digital literacy, the credibility of information sources, and the level of participatory engagement. The study argues that when strategically utilized, social media can operate as a transformative tool in fostering critical awareness and strengthening anti-corruption character among young people.
