Abstract

The dichotomy between general sciences and religious sciences has become a fundamental issue in modern educational systems, resulting in the emergence of a generation fragmented in knowledge and values. In the context of Indonesian Muslim society, the emergence of Integrated Islamic Schools (Sekolah Islam Terpadu/SIT) serves as a response to concerns over a secular-oriented education system that fails to address spiritual dimensions and holistic character development. This study aims to analyze how the integration of general and religious knowledge serves both as a paradigmatic foundation and a policy driver behind the rise of SIT as an alternative educational model. The research employs a qualitative approach using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, involving an in-depth analysis of scholarly literature, policy documents, and relevant research findings. The results reveal that knowledge integration within SIT goes beyond curriculum unification; it involves an epistemological reconstruction of education that unites cognitive and spiritual dimensions within a tawhidic (monotheistic) framework. National education policy provides a legal space for the development of SIT, while the strategic role of SIT is evident in its capacity to nurture students who are academically competent and morally grounded. This study highlights the importance of strengthening policy and institutional capacity to ensure the sustainability of an integrative and contextually responsive Islamic education system.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of restorative justice approaches in handling sexual violence cases after the enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS). Through a qualitative approach with empirical juridical design, the research was conducted using in-depth interviews with informants from the Legal Resource Center for Gender Justice and Human Rights (LRC-KJHAM) in Semarang and literature review. The findings reveal inconsistencies in the implementation of Article 23 of UU TPKS, which prohibits out-of-court settlements except for juvenile offenders. Law enforcement officers, particularly the police, still employ peaceful settlement approaches based on older regulations that contradict UU TPKS. This condition negatively impacts victims who often do not receive proper justice and recovery, and even experience revictimization. This research recommends that the government promptly develop more operational derivative regulations and enhance the capacity of law enforcement officers to adopt a victim-centered perspective.

Abstract

This study analyzes the reinvention of heroism and gender identity in Disney's Mulan (1998), an animated adaptation of the Chinese mythology of Hua Mulan.  Mulan diverges from conventional storylines that exalt masculine power and martial prowess, focusing instead on themes of heroism, self-discovery, and the subversion of strict gender standards.  The film amplifies a female protagonist who defies cultural norms, critiquing traditional heroics and redefining greatness via resilience, intellect, and ethical purity.  This study utilizes qualitative textual analysis and Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey framework to examine how Mulan subverts patriarchal tropes, establishing personal sincerity and inner power as the genuine criteria of heroism.  This study examines feminist and postcolonial critiques of classical storytelling, asserting that Mulan reinterprets old myth as a modern metaphor of empowerment, demonstrating how contemporary adaptations can reclaim traditional narratives to embody progressive ideas.  The video serves as a radical act of mythopoetic resistance, presenting an alternative conception of heroism that surpasses gender and cultural limitations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the thanksgiving tradition of Gotilon in Batak society with the celebration of Erntedankfest in German culture. Both traditions are expressions of gratitude for the harvest and life’s blessings, yet they have developed within different cultural, social, and religious contexts. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative-analytical approach. The findings reveal that Gotilon carries a strong religious dimension integrated with Batak customary practices, whereas Erntedankfest is more symbolic in modern German society, focusing on church services and social activities. This comparison highlights how values of gratitude are manifested through traditions shaped by cultural norms and societal development. This study is expected to enrich cross-cultural understanding and foster greater appreciation for both local and global heritage traditions.
