Abstract

General Background: Contemporary Muslim societies face increasing marital instability marked by divorce, relational conflict, and emotional strain, highlighting the strategic role of premarital counseling in strengthening sakinah family development. Specific Background: Existing premarital programs within Islamic institutions predominantly emphasize legal rights, obligations, and doctrinal instruction grounded in Islamic family law (fiqh al-usrah), often with limited engagement with emotional regulation, attachment dynamics, and stress responses that shape marital interaction. Knowledge Gap: This imbalance reveals the absence of an integrative framework that systematically connects Islamic jurisprudential ethics with contemporary neuroscience to address psychological readiness prior to marriage. Aims: This study proposes Neuro-Fiqh as a conceptual framework that bridges fiqh-based ethical principles and neuroscientific insights to reformulate premarital counseling toward preventive and formative orientation. Results: Using qualitative library research and thematic integrative analysis of classical and contemporary fiqh literature, neuroscience, and family studies, the findings demonstrate strong conceptual compatibility between principles such as ḥusn al-muʿāsharah, darʾ al-ḍarar, ṣabr, masʾūliyyah, and neuroscientific mechanisms of emotional regulation, empathy, executive control, attachment security, and stress modulation. Novelty: Neuro-Fiqh positions neuroscience as an explanatory and pedagogical resource while preserving the normative and teleological authority of Islamic jurisprudence. Implications: This framework reconceptualizes premarital counseling as ethical–psychological formation, cultivating emotional awareness, moral accountability, and relational competence as foundations of sakinah family resilience and long-term family stability. Highlights: Jurisprudential marital ethics correspond closely with neural systems governing self-regulation, empathy, and stress processing. Integrative conceptual synthesis reorients marital preparation toward preventive and formative ethical development. The proposed model supports long-term household stability through cultivation of emotional and moral capacities prior to marriage. Keywords: Neuro-Fiqh, Premarital Counseling, Islamic Family Law, Neuroscience, Sakinah Family

Abstract

General Background Contemporary Iraqi painting has evolved through continuous dialogue between inherited artistic traditions and modern aesthetic discourses shaped by social and cultural change. Specific Background Iraqi artists employ form, symbolism, and compositional structures to negotiate identity, modernity, and visual expression within a shifting historical context. Knowledge Gap Despite extensive discussions on Iraqi modern art, limited studies have systematically examined aesthetic form as a central interpretative axis connecting visual structure and cultural meaning. Aims This study aims to analyze aesthetic form in contemporary Iraqi painting and interpret its role in articulating modern artistic identity. Results The findings demonstrate that aesthetic form functions not merely as a visual arrangement but as a symbolic system reflecting social realities, cultural memory, and artistic adaptation. Novelty This research offers an integrated interpretative perspective that positions aesthetic form as a key mediator between tradition and modernity in Iraqi painting. Implications The study contributes theoretically to modern art discourse and provides a contextual framework for future analyses of contemporary Arab visual art. Keywords: Contemporary Iraqi Art, Aesthetic Form, Modern Painting, Visual Symbolism, Cultural Identity Key Findings Highlights: Aesthetic form represents cultural adaptation within contemporary Iraqi painting Visual structures embody dialogue between tradition and modern artistic expression Symbolic forms reflect social and historical realities in Iraqi modern art

Abstract

General Background Renewable energy technologies increasingly rely on advanced heterojunction architectures to improve light harvesting and charge transport in optoelectronic devices. Specific Background Multilayer systems combining ZnO, CuO, and porous silicon offer complementary electronic and optical properties, while plasmonic silver incorporation provides additional light–matter interaction pathways. Knowledge Gap However, a systematic experimental correlation between Ag doping concentration, nanostructural evolution, optical behavior, and photovoltaic response in ZnO/CuO/PSi heterojunctions remains insufficiently explored. Aims This study aims to fabricate and evaluate Ag-doped ZnO/CuO/porous silicon heterojunction devices and to examine the role of silver concentration on structural, optical, and electrical characteristics. Results Structural and morphological analyses reveal refined crystallite sizes and pronounced morphology evolution with increasing Ag content, accompanied by enhanced visible-light absorption and bandgap reduction to 2.78 eV at 7% Ag doping. Photovoltaic measurements demonstrate a maximum open-circuit voltage of 3300 mV, a fill factor of 45.09%, and a power conversion efficiency of 0.3125% for the optimized device. Novelty The work provides an integrated experimental assessment linking plasmonic Ag doping to interface engineering and device-level performance within a single heterojunction framework. Implications These findings offer practical guidance for designing cost-effective optoelectronic devices and advancing plasmonic-assisted multilayer solar cell architectures. Keywords: Ag-doped ZnO, CuO Heterojunction, Porous Silicon, Plasmonic Nanoparticles, Photovoltaic Devices Key Findings Highlights: Progressive silver incorporation induces significant morphological and crystallographic modification in multilayer structures. Visible-light absorption increases markedly due to combined plasmonic and bandgap engineering mechanisms. Optimized heterojunction configuration exhibits superior voltage output and charge collection behavior.

Abstract

General Background: Professional ethics in public relations are essential for sustaining organizational credibility, stakeholder trust, and responsible communication practices. Specific Background: Films often portray workplace communication and professional conduct, providing material for analyzing ethical public relations standards. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies primarily focus on ethical violations or organizational settings, while limited research examines cinematic portrayals of ethical public relations principles using structured semiotic approaches. Aims: This study examines the representation of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) ethical principles in the film The Intern (2015) using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic analysis. Results: The findings show three PRSA ethical indicators represented through dialogue, visual symbols, and narrative interactions. Free Flow of Information is reflected in transparent communication and employee involvement. Disclosure of Information appears through responsible client communication and problem-solving processes. Professional competency development is illustrated through leadership mentoring and employee guidance within organizational settings. Novelty: This study applies Peirce’s semiotic framework to interpret ethical public relations representation in cinematic media by focusing on symbolic and narrative elements. Implications: The findings demonstrate that films can serve as educational references for understanding public relations ethics and professional values while highlighting the importance of cultural context in interpreting ethical communication practices presented in Western workplace narratives. Highlights: Transparent Organizational Communication Practices Are Symbolized Through Narrative and Visual Elements. Responsible Client Interaction Is Depicted Through Structured Problem-Solving Behavior. Leadership Mentoring Scenes Illustrate Competency Development Within Organizational Settings. Keywords: Prsa Ethics, Semiotic Analysis, Public Relations Communication, Film Representation, Professional Ethics

Abstract

General Background: Elementary education in multicultural societies requires pedagogical approaches that address cultural diversity while supporting social attitude development. Specific Background: Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy positions students’ cultural identities as central resources within learning processes and school culture. Knowledge Gap: Limited empirical studies document how this pedagogical approach is practiced holistically in Indonesian elementary schools and how it relates to students’ social attitudes. Aims: This study examines the application of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, the roles of school leaders and teachers, and implementation constraints in shaping students’ social attitudes at SD Pedagogia Labschool FIP UNY. Results: Using a qualitative case study design, findings indicate that culturally based learning activities and school programs are integrated across classroom instruction and daily practices, fostering empathy, cooperation, tolerance, and mutual respect among students from diverse backgrounds. School principals contribute through policy formulation and cultural school leadership, while teachers function as facilitators and role models of social values. Identified constraints include limited instructional time and diverse student characteristics, addressed through adaptive time management, collaborative teaching, and reinforcement of school culture. Novelty: This study presents a comprehensive illustration of culturally sustaining practices embedded simultaneously in curriculum, school programs, and institutional culture at the elementary level. Implications: The findings provide practical reference for developing culturally grounded learning models that support social attitude formation within multicultural elementary education contexts. Highlights • Integration of culture-based learning practices supports daily social interaction among diverse students• School leadership and teacher collaboration sustain culturally grounded educational practices• Institutional culture functions as a medium for social attitude development in elementary education Keywords Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy; Social Attitude Formation; Multicultural Elementary Education; School Culture; Qualitative Case Study

Abstract

General Background The persistence of religious intolerance and exclusivism within educational contexts reveals unresolved pedagogical challenges in religious education systems. Specific Background In Islamic Religious Education, learning practices remain largely normative–doctrinal and transmissive, limiting students’ dialogical engagement and critical awareness within pluralistic social realities. Knowledge Gap Although tolerance and multiculturalism have been widely discussed, few studies systematically integrate a critical–emancipatory paradigm into the ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations of Islamic Religious Education. Aims This study analyzes the relevance and conceptual contribution of the critical–emancipatory paradigm as an alternative pedagogical framework for Islamic Religious Education in fostering tolerant and multicultural attitudes. Results Using qualitative library research grounded in critical theory, the findings demonstrate that the critical–emancipatory paradigm is theologically and pedagogically compatible with Islamic values such as justice, human dignity, and rahmatan lil ‘alamin, while redirecting learning from indoctrinative models toward dialogical, reflective, and contextual practices. Novelty This article constructs an integrative conceptual framework linking the critical–emancipatory paradigm with the ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of Islamic Religious Education. Implications The study contributes theoretically to critical Islamic education discourse and offers a coherent pedagogical orientation for developing tolerance, social empathy, and multicultural competencies within Indonesia’s pluralistic educational context. Highlights: Normative–doctrinal learning practices are conceptually linked to weak internalization of plural social values. Dialogical and reflective pedagogy aligns with Islamic theological principles of justice and human dignity. Ontological, epistemological, and axiological integration provides a unified framework for pedagogical renewal. Keywords: Islamic Religious Education, Critical Emancipatory Paradigm, Tolerance, Multiculturalism, Critical Pedagogy

Abstract

General Background: In the digital transformation era, critical reading has become a key higher-order literacy skill required to evaluate abundant online information. Specific Background: Despite increased access to digital resources, Indonesian EFL students still demonstrate limited critical reading competence, particularly in interpreting and evaluating academic texts. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies predominantly emphasize learning outcomes and instructional methods, while limited attention is given to students’ perceptions as a psycho-pedagogical factor underlying the gap between digital access and critical literacy. Aims: This study aims to analyze EFL students’ perceptions of using online articles to develop critical reading skills. Results: Using a quantitative descriptive design with 31 undergraduate students and a 17-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.881), findings show mean scores ranging from 2.81 to 3.61, indicating generally positive perceptions. Students reported that online articles support identifying main ideas, analyzing arguments, and evaluating information credibility; however, difficulties remain in articulating deeper interpretations. Novelty: This study addresses the Digital Literacy Paradox by highlighting the discrepancy between frequent use of online resources and limited critical engagement from a perception-based perspective. Implications: The findings suggest that while online articles serve as valuable tools for critical reading and digital literacy development, educators should incorporate targeted strategies such as reflective writing and guided analysis to foster deeper interpretation skills. Highlights• Positive learner attitudes toward digital texts in academic reading contexts• Analytical ability supported, yet deeper explanation remains limited• Evidence of gap between access frequency and higher-order literacy KeywordsOnline Articles; Critical Reading Skills; EFL Students; Digital Literacy; Student Perception

Abstract

General Background Consumption within Islamic economics emphasizes moderation and adherence to sharia principles, particularly amid rapid digitalization of financial transactions. Specific Background The expansion of sharia-based digital payment systems alongside the growth of Muslim fashion consumption in Madura highlights the relevance of digital literacy and sharia financial literacy in shaping consumer behavior. Knowledge Gap Prior studies largely focus on conventional digital payments and general regions, with limited empirical evidence addressing sharia digital payments, consumptive behavior, and local Islamic socio-cultural contexts in Madura. Aims This study examines the relationships between digital literacy, sharia financial literacy, consumptive behavior in Muslim fashion purchases, and the mediating role of sharia digital payment usage among the Madurese community. Results Using a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM on data from 384 respondents, the findings show that digital literacy and sharia financial literacy are significantly associated with sharia digital payment usage and consumptive behavior, while sharia digital payments also exhibit a direct relationship with consumptive behavior and mediate both literacy variables. Novelty The study integrates digital literacy and sharia financial literacy within a single empirical framework by positioning sharia digital payment usage as a mediating construct in Muslim fashion consumption. Implications These findings provide evidence-based insights for policymakers, Islamic financial institutions, and educators to design literacy programs and sharia-compliant digital payment services aligned with local values and consumption patterns in Muslim-majority regions. Highlights: Literacy-related competencies are statistically associated with transactional patterns in sharia-based payment systems. Payment platform utilization functions as a mediating mechanism linking literacy dimensions to purchasing tendencies. Empirical evidence from Madura confirms the relevance of local Islamic contexts in digital consumption studies. Keywords: Digital Literacy, Islamic Financial Literacy, Consumptive Behavior, Islamic Digital Payment.
