Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence technology, such as ChatGPT, has had a significant impact on education worldwide, including in Ambon City. However, its use often raises the risk of misuse, especially in cases of plagiarism, task manipulation, or the instant completion of academic assignments. The research method used is a descriptive, non-experimental, quantitative approach, with 120 high school students in Ambon City as respondents. This research aims to analyse the association between digital ethics as a civic virtue and ChatGPT misuse, and to identify the relationship between indicators in both variables. The research instrument consisted of 15 indicators of digital ethics and 15 indicators of ChatGPT misuse. The results showed that the digital ethics instrument had very good reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.867), and ChatGPT misuse behaviour also had very high reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.932). Fourteen of the 15 indicators of digital ethics and all indicators of ChatGPT misuse were declared valid. This research also showed a positive and significant influence between digital ethics and ChatGPT misuse behaviour (r = 0.203, p = 0.027). Although the correlation is weak, a p-value <0.05 indicates that the relationship remains significant. This relationship suggests that students who have knowledge of digital ethics do not always practice ethical behaviour when using ChatGPT. This finding provides new insights into the complexity of students' digital behaviour, suggesting that an understanding of digital ethics does not always guarantee ethical behaviour in the digital realm, necessitating the need for more effective digital citizenship education strategies.

Abstract

This research departs from the growing urgency of the high consumption of foreign animated films among Generation Alpha in Mataram City, which may weaken national identity and character. The selection of Mataram City as the research site is grounded in its role as a heterogeneous social laboratory; it serves as a strategic case study to examine the tension between deeply rooted local traditions and the pervasive influence of global digital media. This study aims to explore how foreign animation shapes children's perceptions and to gain a profound understanding of potential shifts in national integration values in their everyday lived experiences. The primary subjects are Generation Alpha children (aged 4–12 years), purposively selected to provide deep insights, with parents and teachers serving as secondary informants for data triangulation. The specific object of the study is the phenomenon of identity construction and the potential erosion of national character resulting from prolonged media exposure. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that intensive daily exposure to foreign animation leads to the internalisation of global values, manifested in the imitation of foreign accents and a shift toward individualistic behaviour, thereby challenging traditional social cohesion. Conversely, local animations such as Nussa & Rara are found to reinforce religiosity, cooperation, and manners. These results underline that without media literacy and support for local content, foreign animation poses a challenge to national identity. Systematic synergy between schools, families, and the government can transform animation into a strategic tool for strengthening character education and national integration.

Abstract

Mexico faces a crisis of impunity marked by femicidal violence, disappearances, and institutional flaws. This study examines how feminist and victims' groups resist impunity by analysing their strategies, conditions for change, and justice reforms. Using mixed methods, the research analysed 847 events from 2014-2024 through content analysis, along with 32 interviews and 385 documents. Techniques like regression and network analysis identified patterns and key factors. Movements fight impunity by exposing state failures, creating alternative knowledge, using international frameworks, disrupting normalcy, and raising visibility. Events with legal and direct tactics were 3.17 times more likely to prompt responses (p<0.001), and coalitions increased this to 2.21 (p<0.001). Only 5.5% led to documented action, with responses often punctuated and temporary. Organisational efforts between feminist and victims' groups grew from 12.7% (2014-2019) to 31.4% (2020-2024), showing strategic alignment. Findings reveal an insurgent accountability system where civil society fills state gaps. Effective accountability involves diverse tactics, engaging institutions, external pressure, and strong coalitions. These insights enhance understanding of social movements, accountability, and justice amidst high impunity.

Abstract

Women’s responses to politically driven digital violence have become increasingly significant in Indonesia, where such threats undermine equal political participation. Despite the existence of legal frameworks governing elections, digital spaces, and gender-based violence, many remain legally inadequate and insufficiently responsive to women as victims of cyber violence. Existing studies tend to treat digital violence as a cybercrime issue or focus narrowly on women’s political participation, often neglecting its digital dimension. This study addresses that gap by conducting a comprehensive normative legal analysis within the broader framework of democracy and human rights. Using a normative legal research method and literature review, it examines the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, CEDAW, and relevant legal instruments, including Human Rights Law, Election Law, Electronic Information and Transactions Law, Law on Sexual Violence Crime, and regulations issued by the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection and the General Election Commission. The findings indicate that digital political violence against women commonly manifests as intimidation, sexual harassment, and misinformation aimed at discrediting their credibility and dignity. The study also highlights women’s resilience and resistance strategies. Documenting these experiences contributes to the development of more inclusive, adaptive, and responsive legal frameworks that ensure safe, meaningful political participation in digital spaces.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate how AI-driven service quality (AISQ) influences customer engagement (CE) in the e-commerce industry in Pakistan. This study examines the mediation of digital empathy (DE) and cognitive absorption (CA). It concerns discovering how AI-driven service quality affects customer interactions through emotional and cognitive processes. Through an online survey, data were collected from 321 e-commerce clients in Pakistan. The current study used convenience sampling. A five-point questionnaire was used for data collection. The statistical tool SPSS 22.0 was used for correlation and regression analysis. The conceptual framework was built on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Trust-Commitment Theory (TCT) to determine the association among AISQ, DE, CA, and CE. The proposed hypotheses and their mediation effects were tested using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings of the present study indicate that AISQ has a positive impact on CE. DE and CA play an important role in mediating this relationship. The results of this study show that when customers perceive AI-based services as empathetic and interesting, they are more likely to become engaged with an e-commerce platform. This paper is a contribution to the research on AI and customer behaviour, as it reveals that DE and CA are significant intermediate variables between AISQ and CE. The results are valuable to e-commerce leaders in Pakistan, helping them improve customer engagement and loyalty through emotive, compelling AI solutions.

Abstract

Since the political transition of 1998, Indonesia has been widely regarded as a leading case of democratic consolidation in Southeast Asia. However, recent empirical indicators reveal a persistent decline in civil liberties, political pluralism, and institutional accountability. This article examines whether Indonesia is experiencing democratic regression and investigates the emergence of electoral illiberalism as a durable regime trajectory rather than a temporary fluctuation. Methodologically, this study employs qualitative thematic-narrative analysis, triangulating constitutional amendments, electoral laws, Constitutional Court decisions, and executive regulations with international democracy indices, including the Economist Intelligence Unit and Freedom House, from 1998 to 2024. This approach enables a longitudinal assessment of institutional and normative transformations across key democratic dimensions. The findings demonstrate that democratic regression in Indonesia is not marked by the collapse of electoral competition, but by the weakening of horizontal accountability, erosion of the rule of law through systemic corruption, contraction of civic space, and strategic mobilization of majoritarian identity politics. These dynamics reveal how electoral continuity coexists with substantive democratic erosion. This article contributes to debates on democratic backsliding by showing that Indonesia’s trajectory has consolidated into electoral illiberalism, challenging linear models of democratic consolidation and highlighting the limits of electoral democracy.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of digital populism in political communication research through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database. Using the PRISMA screening framework, 18 relevant journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 were identified, suggesting that although research in this field remains limited, it has shown a notable increase, particularly after 2021. The findings indicate that the concept of digital populism has evolved from an initial focus on online activism and networked resistance to a more comprehensive framework that explains how populist messages are strategically created, distributed, and amplified through digital platforms and their underlying logics. Bibliometric mapping reveals key thematic clusters of digital populism, nationalism, and populism, with discourse analysis as the dominant methodological approach. Furthermore, the synthesis highlights five defining characteristics of digital populism: people-centrism, emotional communication, political visualisation, virality, and direct participation. Despite these insights, the literature remains heavily concentrated in Western contexts, with limited contributions from Asia and the Global South. Accordingly, future studies should broaden data sources and pursue comparative research across diverse sociopolitical contexts to enhance theoretical and empirical understanding.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in the literature on cultivating participatory civic skills in higher education in the digital era. While the importance of such skills is widely acknowledged, little is known about how educators practically conceptualise and assess them. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research collected data through open-ended questionnaires completed by Civic Education lecturers from diverse higher education institutions across Indonesia. The data were analysed using reflective thematic analysis. The findings show that lecturers demonstrate a robust theoretical understanding of participatory civic skills; this conceptual grasp does not systematically translate into assessment practices that effectively measure participatory learning outcomes. Although pedagogical innovations such as project-based learning and digital platform integration are being adopted to create more authentic learning experiences, their implementation is hindered by structural barriers. These include excessive administrative workloads, inflexible curricula, and inadequate technological infrastructure. Theoretically, this study contributes by highlighting the critical disconnect between pedagogical theory and assessment praxis in civic education. In practice, it underscores that fostering participatory skills necessitates not only classroom-level innovation but also institutional reforms, specifically rationalising workloads, increasing curricular flexibility, and developing authentic assessment models tailored for digital-era civic learning.

Abstract

The regulation of religious recognition in Indonesia remains problematic to this day. Research on the regulation of religious recognition has not been conducted to date. As a country with diverse religions, Indonesia faces unique challenges in managing religious life for substantive citizenship. The terminology of "recognised" and "unrecognised" religions, as well as "official" and "unofficial" religions, is one of the factors that hinder the fulfilment of the right to religious freedom for Indonesian citizens. The regulation of religious recognition in Indonesia must address significant legal issues to achieve justice and legal certainty. Inclusive reforms, policy harmonisation, and stronger enforcement mechanisms are essential to ensure that all religious groups are treated equally under the law. These efforts must align with both constitutional principles and international human rights standards to uphold justice and legal certainty in the recognition of religion. Religious recognition must be in line with the spirit of the Indonesian nation, which upholds respect for human dignity, guarantees freedom of religion and belief, and upholds equality, non-discrimination, justice, and legal certainty. This paper is the result of normative research on the regulation of religious life in Indonesia, particularly regarding the recognition of religions in the country. The study concludes that, to date, there is no comprehensive regulation regarding the recognition of religions in Indonesia. Therefore, in the future, the formulation of such regulations is an urgent necessity. The regulation of religious recognition must prioritise the principles of equality, justice, and legal certainty. Indonesia needs fair religious recognition and legal certainty based on Pancasila

Abstract

This study was prompted by the alarming prevalence of sexual violence against children in Indonesia and the continued dominance of repressive approaches in dealing with pedophilia crimes. Historically, public policy responses have focused excessively on criminalisation and law enforcement, with the police as the main actor. This study uses a qualitative approach based on a literature review, utilising the interactive analysis model includes data reduction, conceptual data display, and conclusion drawing through cross-source verification. The findings indicate that addressing the multidimensional complexity of pedophilia requires a preventive governance structure involving six key sectors ( hexahelix model): the government acts as a regulator and legal supervisor; academics providing an evidence-based foundation through empirical research; the business sector contributing with technological innovations for protection and corporate social responsibility (CSR); the media shaping public opinion and conducting educational campaigns; communities acting as agents of daily social supervision and early detection; and civil society organizations (CSOs) focusing on policy advocacy and victim mediation. Optimising this cross-sector collaboration effectively builds a strong social ecosystem grounded in citizen responsibility, the core values of Pancasila, and the strengthening of participatory social control. In addition, this study proposes a practical, operational syntax structured into five integrated stages to ensure the systematic implementation and sustainability of the model. This research contributes to the conceptual and practical development of civic education as a preventive public policy tool, grounded in active citizen participation, to create an environment that protects children.
