Abstract

General Background: Environmental degradation from plastic waste has intensified global attention on sustainability, prompting companies to adopt eco-conscious business practices. Specific Background: In Indonesia, urban coffee shop industries increasingly integrate green strategies to attract environmentally aware consumers. However, the direct influence of environmental awareness and the green marketing mix on customer loyalty remains underexplored, particularly among local coffee brands. Knowledge Gap: Prior research focused primarily on retail and fast-food sectors, leaving a gap in understanding how sustainability-driven marketing impacts loyalty in local coffee businesses. Aims: This study investigates the effect of environmental awareness and the green marketing mix on customer loyalty at Fore Coffee MERR Surabaya. Results: Using a quantitative approach with 100 respondents and multiple linear regression analysis, findings reveal that both variables jointly have a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty (R² = 0.483), though only the green marketing mix shows a significant partial effect (β = 0.764, p < 0.001). Novelty: This study extends green marketing literature by evidencing its role as a primary driver of loyalty in sustainable coffee businesses, despite limited environmental awareness influence. Implications: The results highlight the importance of consistent green marketing strategies and sustainability communication to strengthen long-term customer engagement and loyalty. Highlights: Green marketing significantly strengthens customer loyalty. Environmental awareness alone shows limited influence. Consistent sustainability communication enhances brand trust. Keywords: Environmental Awareness, Green Marketing Mix, Customer Loyalty, Sustainable Business, Fore Coffee

Abstract

General Background: The evolution of marketing theory from Marketing 1.0 to Marketing 5.0 represents a global shift from product-centered strategies to technology-driven, human-centric marketing philosophies. Specific Background: In Uzbekistan, this transformation has occurred alongside rapid economic liberalization and digitalization, yet its pace and scope differ across industries. Knowledge Gap: While global literature extensively discusses Marketing 5.0, limited empirical research explores how developing economies like Uzbekistan adapt to this paradigm, particularly in balancing technological innovation with cultural and infrastructural constraints.

Abstract

General Background: Polygamy remains a controversial issue in Islamic family law and judicial practice in Indonesia, primarily centered on the requirement of justice as mandated in Surah An-Nisa verse 3. Specific Background: In practice, achieving fairness in polygamy often faces challenges, particularly in judicial decisions granting polygamy permits. Quraish Shihab’s interpretation of justice emphasizes balance and contextual fairness, offering a multidimensional perspective for analyzing such rulings. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have not deeply examined how judges operationalize Quraish Shihab’s concept of justice in actual polygamy permit decisions. Aims: This study aims to analyze the application of justice principles in the Jember Religious Court’s Decision No. 1775/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Jr using Quraish Shihab’s justice framework. Results: The findings reveal that the judges’ considerations emphasize procedural and formal justice—such as equality before the law and compliance with legal requirements—while substantive justice, including psychological and social balance for wives and children, remains limited. Novelty: This study provides an integrative analysis linking Islamic theological concepts of justice with judicial reasoning in polygamy cases. Implications: The research highlights the need for a holistic judicial approach that not only fulfills legal formalities but also ensures equitable family welfare consistent with maqasid al-shariah principles. Highlights: Examines judicial justice in polygamy permit decisions. Applies Quraish Shihab’s concept of balanced fairness. Reveals dominance of formal over substantive justice. Keywords: Justice, Polygamy, Quraish Shihab, Religious Court, Islamic Law

Abstract

General background: Global attention to sustainability has increased significantly, urging companies to integrate social and environmental accountability into business practices through sustainability reports. Specific background: In Indonesia, regulations such as POJK No. 51/POJK.03/2017 have strengthened the disclosure of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) information, particularly in energy sector firms with high environmental impacts. Knowledge gap: However, prior studies reveal inconsistent findings regarding how stakeholder pressure and ownership structure influence the extent of sustainability report disclosure. Aims: This study examines the effects of stakeholder pressure—measured by investor orientation and external audit pressure—and foreign ownership structure on the level of sustainability report disclosure among energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021–2023. Results: Using panel data regression on 18 companies (54 observations), the findings show that investor and audit pressures have no significant effects, while foreign ownership positively influences disclosure at the 10% level (β = 0.177; p = 0.054). Novelty: The study highlights that foreign investors play a critical role in enhancing sustainability transparency in emerging markets. Implications: Strengthening domestic investor awareness and external audit roles is essential to improving sustainability reporting quality and aligning Indonesia’s corporate practices with international ESG standards. Highlights: Foreign ownership significantly enhances sustainability report transparency. Investor and audit pressures show no significant effect in Indonesia’s energy firms. Findings emphasize the need to strengthen domestic ESG engagement and governance. Keywords: Stakeholder Pressure, Foreign Ownership, Sustainability Report, Esg Disclosure, Audit Quality

Abstract

Background: Population ageing represents one of the most significant demographic shifts of the 21st century, with older adults facing profound social and psychological transitions following retirement. Specific Background: Retirement marks a critical life phase characterized by shifts in income, identity, and social roles, requiring adaptive coping mechanisms to maintain well-being. Knowledge Gap: While global research has explored retirement adjustment, limited studies in Iraq have examined how elderly populations cope with this transition and their awareness of retirement-related issues. Aims: This study aimed to assess coping strategies among retired older adults and evaluate their knowledge regarding retirement. Results: Using a descriptive design and a purposive sample of 100 retired individuals, the findings revealed that 70% lacked awareness of the legal retirement age, and 55.5% actively employed coping strategies, predominantly passive mechanisms such as avoidance or dependence reduction. Novelty: The study offers one of the first localized insights into Iraqi retirees’ psychological and behavioral adjustments to retirement, emphasizing the socio-cultural influences on coping behavior. Implications: The findings underscore the need for public education, psychosocial support programs, and policy initiatives that promote proactive coping and retirement preparedness among older adults to enhance post-retirement quality of life.Highlight : About 70% of seniors are unaware of the legal retirement age. Around 55.5% of elderly retirees use coping strategies for adjustment. Raising awareness through education and media can improve retirement coping.

Abstract

(General Background) The alignment of science assessment with students’ socio-cultural contexts is essential to ensure fairness and meaningful measurement of learning outcomes. (Specific Background) However, most contextualized assessments in science education emphasize content validity without empirically confirming their construct structure, limiting their interpretive strength. (Knowledge Gap) There remains a lack of studies that integrate content, empirical, and construct validity evidence in culturally responsive instruments, particularly those designed in parallel pre–post forms. (Aims) This study aimed to develop and validate an ethnoscience-based pre–post instrument by linking Aiken’s Content Validity Ratio (CVR, 4-point scale) with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA, CR/AVE). (Results) Findings from five expert reviews showed 22 of 40 items exceeded the conservative threshold (Aiken’s V ≥ 0.80; CVR = 1.00). Field trials (N = 50) demonstrated moderate difficulty and positive discrimination, while CFA confirmed a three-factor structure with good fit (χ² = 34.203, df = 24, p = 0.083; CFI = 0.94; TLI = 0.92; RMSEA = 0.065). Composite reliability ranged from 0.718–0.797, and AVE was adequate for two factors (0.506; 0.568) and marginal for one (0.459). (Novelty) The study presents a transparent “content–empirical–construct” decision trail rarely reported in ethnoscience assessment. (Implications) This integrative validation framework demonstrates that cultural responsiveness and psychometric rigor can coexist, guiding fair and contextual science learning evaluations. Highlights: Integrates Aiken–CVR and CFA for comprehensive validity evidence. Confirms three-factor model with strong reliability and moderate AVE. Demonstrates synergy between cultural relevance and measurement rigor. Keywords: Content Validity, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Ethnoscience, Culturally Responsive Assessment, Psychometric Validation
