Abstract

The relationship between humans and the environment has become a central focus in both social and ecological research, particularly among communities reliant on natural resources. This study examines the Sedekah Laut (Sea Alms) tradition practiced in Rowo Village, Kebumen Regency, as a cultural adaptation mechanism to address environmental uncertainty. The primary objective is to understand how this ritual reflects the community’s response to unpredictable natural conditions. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the research explores the interactions between human and non-human actors involved in the tradition, including the sea, ritual objects, community leaders, and local beliefs. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that Sedekah Laut is not only a symbolic expression of gratitude and spiritual reverence toward the sea but also serves as a practical strategy to reinforce communal bonds and manage uncertainty in a changing environment. The sea is perceived as both a provider and a sacred entity, deserving of respect and offerings. Through collective participation in the ritual, the community cultivates a shared sense of resilience, interdependence, and social solidarity. In conclusion, the Sedekah Laut tradition illustrates how local knowledge and cultural practices can function as adaptive strategies in the face of environmental challenges, offering insights into the dynamic relationship between society and nature as conceptualized through Actor Network Theory.

Abstract

Indonesia's policy to downstream its nickel industry represents a significant strategic shift aimed at increasing domestic value addition and strengthening its position in the global market. This article analyzes the political economy dynamics of this policy, with a specific focus on the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) as the central hub of its implementation. This study employs a qualitative case study method, utilizing stakeholder analysis, a Power-Interest Grid, and SWOT analysis to dissect the complex interactions among various actors. The analysis is based on a comprehensive review of academic literature, government regulations, and civil society reports. The findings reveal the formation of a powerful "growth machine" alliance between the Indonesian central government, PT IMIP as the park operator, and foreign investors, primarily from China. While this alliance has successfully driven rapid industrialization and boosted processed nickel exports, it has also generated significant negative externalities. These include the emergence of new forms of dependency on foreign capital and technology, severe socio-environmental degradation, and inequitable distribution of economic benefits, leading to conflicts with local communities and labor groups. The article concludes that while the downstreaming policy has achieved macroeconomic goals, its long-term sustainability is challenged by its failure to foster inclusive and environmentally sound development, presenting a critical paradox for Indonesia's developmental state ambitions.

Abstract

Public administration emphasizes the dual role of government in regulation and service, with public services serving as a central indicator of good governance. In the context of emergency response, the quality of employee performance becomes crucial for ensuring effective service delivery. This study aims to analyze the influence of employee performance quality on the quality of the 112 emergency call service in Probolinggo City, Indonesia. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation from 100 respondents comprising government officials, academics, NGOs, and community leaders. The research employed Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis to examine the causal relationship between employee performance quality and service quality dimensions, including reliability, responsiveness, assurance, tangibility, and empathy. The results demonstrate that employee performance quality has a significant and direct impact on the effectiveness of emergency services, with a path coefficient of 0.759, a p-value of 0.000, and a t-statistic of 1.690, confirming the proposed hypothesis. These findings highlight that improved employee capabilities, work processes, and enthusiasm positively enhance public trust and satisfaction in emergency handling. The study concludes that strengthening employee performance is a critical determinant for improving service quality in public emergency systems, supporting the broader goal of good governance and effective crisis management in Probolinggo City.

Abstract

In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), digital security policies have evolved rapidly, intensifying concerns over surveillance, data control, and state authority. This study examines the relevance of Michel Foucault’s theoretical framework—particularly his concepts of power, biopolitics, and governmentality—in analyzing the structures and implications of contemporary digital security regimes. The widespread adoption of AI technologies in national security initiatives—such as facial recognition, predictive policing, and mass data surveillance—demonstrates a shift in mechanisms of control aligned with Foucault’s notions of disciplinary societies and panopticism. The research aims to critically assess how digital security policies operationalize power through AI, reshaping the dynamics between the state and its citizens. Using a qualitative methodology, the study applies critical discourse analysis to official policy documents, national regulations, and strategic frameworks from selected countries, supported by scholarly and media sources. Findings reveal that such policies often normalize intrusive surveillance practices under the guise of public safety and technological progress, reinforcing asymmetric power relations and challenging democratic accountability. The analysis highlights how algorithmic governance embeds power within technological systems, enabling new forms of control and oversight. Ultimately, the study concludes that applying a Foucauldian lens provides vital insights into the socio-political logics of AI-driven security. It underscores the urgency for transparent, accountable, and rights-based approaches to digital governance in an increasingly automated world.

Abstract

Inclusive adaptive physical education has emerged as a critical focus within global educational policy, particularly in advancing equitable access for students with special needs. This study aims to synthesize current knowledge on the politics and implementation of inclusive adaptive physical education policies from 2020 to 2025. Using a systematic literature review approach guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol, 53 peer-reviewed articles were analyzed through mixed methods, combining bibliometric mapping with thematic content analysis. Results reveal a sharp increase in publications peaking in 2022, influenced by global equity movements and the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a decline suggesting research fatigue or a shift toward practice-oriented studies. Conceptually, the literature is dominated by traditional paradigms such as Universal Design for Learning and the social model of disability, which prioritize curriculum flexibility, teacher training, and access to physical activity. However, gaps remain in addressing emerging dimensions like intersectionality, cultural responsiveness, and institutional reform. The findings also highlight that implementation is frequently educator-centric, potentially neglecting broader structural and community-based factors. This study contributes to the existing knowledge base by offering a synthesized framework that integrates global policy, conceptual foundations, and practical mechanisms, while also identifying the limitations of current approaches. The results underscore the need for more context-sensitive, inclusive, and collaborative policy designs. Future research should engage in longitudinal and cross-cultural inquiries, incorporate diverse stakeholder voices, and build international networks to ensure the sustainability and impact of inclusive adaptive physical education practices.

Abstract

Access to justice remains uneven for communities living in remote archipelagic regions, where distance, transport constraints, and administrative barriers limit their ability to obtain formal judicial services. In response to this problem, the Labuha Religious Court has implemented a mobile court program to bring hearings closer to justice seekers. This study aims to examine how the mobile court program is implemented in the jurisdiction of the Labuha Religious Court and to identify the factors that support and hinder its operation. The research uses a qualitative empirical legal method with a socio-legal approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation involving court officials and community members directly connected to mobile court activities, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings show that mobile court sessions in Kasiruta and Sanana substantially improved access to justice, especially for marriage validation, divorce by talaq, contested divorce, and guardianship cases. The program was supported by strong institutional commitment, inter-agency collaboration, and active community participation. However, its implementation was constrained by difficult geography, weather uncertainty, limited transportation, and incomplete administrative documents among justice seekers. In conclusion, the mobile court program functions as an effective instrument for expanding inclusive judicial services in remote areas across dispersed island communities.

Abstract

Poverty remains a persistent challenge in Pakistan, where structural inequality, social vulnerability, and fiscal constraints continue to limit the effectiveness of welfare interventions. This study examines how social protection contributes to poverty alleviation through targeted subsidies in Pakistan’s welfare sector, with particular attention to the direct effects of social protection and targeted subsidies and the mediating role of subsidies in this relationship. A quantitative explanatory design was employed using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 303 respondents drawn from key welfare institutions and beneficiary groups, including BISP, Ehsaas, Zakat, and Bait-ul-Mal programs. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to test the hypothesized direct and indirect relationships among social protection, targeted subsidies, and poverty alleviation. The findings show that social protection has a strong positive effect on targeted subsidies and a significant direct effect on poverty alleviation. Targeted subsidies also have a significant positive effect on poverty alleviation and partially mediate the relationship between social protection and poverty alleviation. These results indicate that broad social protection frameworks are more effective when translated into well-targeted subsidy mechanisms. The study concludes that integrated, transparent, and accurately targeted welfare policies can strengthen poverty reduction outcomes and offers practical guidance for policymakers seeking more effective and inclusive social protection systems in developing contexts while improving program delivery, institutional trust, and sustainability of national welfare reforms.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistence of religious radicalism in contemporary Muslim societies, particularly in Indonesia, where pluralism and social cohesion are challenged by exclusive, takfiri, and anti-state interpretations of Islam. In this context, the theological legacy of the Khawarij is important because its doctrines of excommunication, absolutism, and legitimized violence continue to influence modern extremist narratives. The study aims to analyze the genealogy of Khawarij theology, compare its ideological characteristics with Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia and Jemaah Islamiyah, and assess its implications for Islamic moderation in the modern era. This research employs a qualitative library research approach using secondary data from classical Islamic texts, contemporary books, scholarly journal articles, research reports, religious documents, and credible digital sources. Data were collected through systematic literature review and analyzed using content analysis, supported by source and perspective triangulation to ensure validity. The findings show that Khawarij theology is characterized by takfir, rigid literalism, hostility toward dissent, rejection of illegitimate rulers, and justification of violence. These elements reappear in contemporary radical groups, although expressed through different strategies, with HTI emphasizing ideological-political mobilization and Jemaah Islamiyah employing violent methods. The study concludes that Khawarij-style theological exclusivism remains a serious threat to Islamic moderation and should be addressed through historically grounded deradicalization and stronger promotion of wasathiyah Islam. Therefore, strengthening inclusive theology, tolerance, and contextual religious interpretation is essential for preserving peace within Indonesia's plural society today.

Abstract

The enforcement of Malaysia’s Movement Control Order (MCO) 1.0 during the first wave of COVID-19 created widespread panic, social disconnection, and practical hardships, especially for vulnerable groups, while also intensifying the need for rapid, community-based responses. Within this context, Facebook emerged as a new public sphere that enabled young people to organize collective action through the Caremongering Malaysia movement. This study aims to examine the reasons behind the movement’s formation, identify the strategies it employed, and explain how it sustained mobilization during and beyond MCO 1.0. Using a qualitative approach grounded in a constructivist paradigm, the research collected primary data through group discussions, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation involving eight coordinators and volunteers, supported by secondary literature. The findings show that Caremongering Malaysia was driven by a combination of collective identity, disappointment with government responses, and social solidarity. Its mobilization was sustained through three core principles mutual aid, direct action, and autonomy which were operationalized through decentralized coordination, need-based assistance, digital networking, interactive mapping, and inclusive volunteerism across diverse social backgrounds. The movement also helped connect aid seekers and volunteers efficiently nationwide. The study concludes that Facebook functioned not merely as a communication platform but as an effective infrastructure for grassroots mobilization, enabling Malaysian youth to strengthen solidarity.
