Abstract

The body of literature on environmental studies suggest that sustainability in agricultural sector is not only a matter of technical agricultural management, but also the ideas, norms, or values that farmers hold, including those from religion. This cannot hold true more than the Indonesia context of religious society. Indonesia is an agricultural country where most of the population’s livelihood is agriculture, as demonstrated by the fact that 37.5% of the total land area is used for farming. Through an empirical study in Blora, Central Java, this article aims to examine and identify the norms, practices, and motivations of faith-based organic farming by Nahdlatul Ulama Agriculture Development Institute (LPPNU) Blora in promoting environmental and food sustainability. This study is based on a qualitative study using the theories of lived religion and religious creativity. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 individuals, including spiritual leaders, NU administrators, and NU organic farmers, and participant observation for three months. This article has two main findings. First, the religious norms and practices developed by LPPNU in organic farming in Blora express the principles of worship, stewardship of the earth, compassion for nature, self-reliance, and sustainability by making nutrient-rich organic matter fertilizer. Secondly, the primary motivations for farmers to switch to organic are personal health, soil health, and religiosity. Other motivations are influenced by institutional authority and religious reasons.

Abstract

Pada tahun 2013, Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional (BATAN) bekerja sama dengan Pemerintah Kabupaten Klaten di Jawa Tengah untuk membudidayakan padi varietas baru hasil perbaikan dari Rojolele indukan (lama) melalui proses radiasi benih. Sebagai inovasi varietas baru, padi Rojolele Srinuk dikenal sebagai produk unggulan karena teksturnya yang pulen, aromanya yang harum, dan masa tanamnya yang singkat. Padi Rojolele Srinuk dijual dengan harga lebih tinggi karena kualitasnya. Namun, usaha untuk memperkenalkan varietas tanaman baru selalu menjadi tantangan dan berpengaruh terhadap motivasi petani. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui motivasi petani dan peran penyuluh pertanian terhadap keberlanjutan budidaya padi Rojolele Srinuk di Kabupaten Klaten. Total responden dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 203 responden dengan kriteria petani yang membudidayakan padi Rojolele Srinuk. Pemilihan sampel petani menggunakan metode multistage random sampling. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dan dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Jalur (Path Analysis). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi petani dan peran penyuluh pertanian memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap keberlanjutan budidaya padi Rojolele Srinuk dengan alfa 10%, memiliki besar pengaruh tertinggi, dan nilai probability mendekati 0,000. Petani yang memiliki motivasi terhadap padi Rojolele Srinuk memengaruhi perilaku petani sehingga petani melakukan budidaya padi Rojolele Srinuk. Penyuluh pertanian dalam budidaya padi Rojolele Srinuk berperan penting sebagai penghubung antara petani dengan Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Klaten.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis fenomena Takjil War di media sosial sebagai representasi budaya populer serta perannya dalam memperkuat integrasi sosial dan toleransi beragama melalui perspektif interaksionisme simbolik. Kajian ini mengeksplorasi karakteristik budaya populer dalam Takjil War, termasuk tren, keseragaman bentuk, adaptabilitas, durabilitas, dan komodifikasi. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini mengamati interaksi digital pengguna media sosial—melalui komentar, unggahan, dan partisipasi lainnya—untuk memahami dinamika simbolik yang terbentuk dalam ruang digital. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Takjil War merupakan fenomena budaya populer yang memanfaatkan momentum Ramadan untuk membangun narasi kebersamaan. Keseragaman bentuknya tampak pada penggunaan tagar, visualisasi makanan, dan cerita solidaritas yang viral. Adaptabilitasnya tercermin dalam kemampuannya menyerap nilai-nilai lintas budaya, sementara durabilitasnya bersifat musiman tetapi memiliki potensi untuk terus berulang di tahun-tahun mendatang. Komodifikasi fenomena ini terlihat dari monetisasi interaksi digital yang meningkatkan visibilitas konten. Dalam perspektif interaksionisme simbolik (Blumer, 1969) dan kajian budaya (Hall, 1997; Storey, 2018), Takjil War tidak hanya merefleksikan budaya populer tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai ruang simbolik yang mendukung integrasi sosial. Fenomena ini menegaskan peran media sosial sebagai platform budaya yang memfasilitasi dialog lintas identitas dalam masyarakat multikultural.

Abstract

Muslim groups that promote strict religious norms like Salafis are often associated with male dominant culture. Such a patriarchal maybe put on a question in the context in the recent global trend that significantly altered the circumstances for Muslim women, leading to a gradual shift from dependence on husbands for financial sustenance. This article investigates the primary research question: In what ways has Salafi ideology impacted the social integration and empowerment of Muslim women in Kenya? To explore this, a purposive sampling approach was employed, selecting twenty former students from the Maahad Girls’ Training Institute for a focus group discussion regarding the influence of Salafi beliefs on their lives. The study utilized Islamic critical pedagogy theory to assess how Salafi ideologies have affected the educational accomplishments of Maahad graduates, which they have utilized for self-empowerment. Furthermore, pragmatism-agency theory was instrumental in examining the social integration and empowerment of Muslim women, as well as evaluating the compatibility of Salafi beliefs with the societal context in Kenya. The findings indicate that while Salafism is frequently perceived as limiting women’s public engagement and visibility, it has been locally adapted to foster women’s empowerment. The experiences of Salafi women reveal the obstacles they encounter in achieving social integration within Kenyan society. However, they demonstrate remarkable resilience, employing various strategies to enhance their economic situations and navigate their social environments. This paper underscores the opportunities presented by the Kenyan Constitution of 2010, which champions gender equality and women’s rights, and calls for collaboration between Muslim organizations and religious institutions to educate women about available governmental resources and incentives. Such partnerships could significantly empower Muslim women and aid their integration into Kenya’s socio-economic framework.

Abstract

This study examines the ethical aspects of mental health advocacy for Indonesian university students atrisk of suicide, highlighting the constraints of prevailing Western psychological frameworks that emphasize biomedical secrecy and autonomy. These standardized techniques can engender estrangement and overlook Indonesian students’ cultural and community realities. This study utilizes an autoethnographic approach rooted in Buddhist psychology and the concept of cognitive justice to demonstrate how academic settings influenced by cognitive capitalism exacerbate mental health issues. The research presents an ethical alternative grounded in Buddhist principles, including Bodhicitta (altruistic intention), Anattā (non-self), and Kalyāṇamitta (spiritual friendship), emphasizing community healing and relational support. Lecturer-counselors are essential figures, delivering non-clinical, culturally relevant support that connects institutional procedures with students’ real-life experiences. The study attempts inflexible confidentiality standards in Western mental health procedures, contending that they may heighten suicide risk by isolating peers and family from the support process. It presents a three-tiered structure integrating universal prevention, targeted ethical support, and culturally tailored crisis intervention, harmonizing Buddhist ethical principles with global health standards. This integrative strategy reconceptualizes mental health advocacy as a moral and community pursuit, converting higher education institutions into compassionate ecosystems grounded in ethical solidarity, cognitive equity, and cultural significance. The study ultimately calls for transitioning to ethically inclusive, spiritually coherent,and structurally responsive mental health interventions in Indonesian universities.

Abstract

After the Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy—riots after League 1 match between Arema FC and Persebayafootball teams at Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, East Javahappened,multiple information of citizen journalism appeared on social media. This article aims to determine the accountability and influence of citizen journalism on the reporting of mainstream media dealing with the Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy on the period between October 1 to 11, 2022. The method applied in this research is a case study with a qualitative approach. Data are collected using observation and documentation techniques from online mainstream media—which is news article—or even offline one—that is character generic in news broadcasts of television station. Meanwhile, data related to citizen journalism dealing with the tragedy are gained from social media. In conclusion, it is proven that information from citizen journalism contributes a major influence to the direction and headlines of mainstream mass media, even though not all of the information is reliable. Initially, mainstream mass media reports such as detik.com, kompas.com, tvOne, Metro TV and Kompas TV tended to blame Arema FC supporters a.k.a Aremania. The focus of the mainstream mass media reporting was Aremania’s anarchic action regarding their favourite team—Arema FC—lost the match against Persebaya. Based on the point of view of the report, the shooting of lachrymatory gas was considered normal due to the out of control chaos happened. Anyhow, not until a day, did the perspective of mainstream mass media reports reverse. It happened due to the emergence of citizen journalism as Twitter tweets, voice recordings, videos and photos on social media. Mainstream mass media then wrapped the reports of Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy as horrors experienced by Aremaniain the tragedy. The authorities were blamed on these reports. They were figured as abusive party because they fired lachrymatory gas hastily to the supporters.

Abstract

Social capital has been considered an important factor on mental and physical health. However, thereis no consensus on its best measurement. This research examines the effect of informal social capital (family and community support) on the health quality of the elderly through self-assessed health status (SAHS), self-care ability (ADL), and mental health (PTSD). This study introduces the use of instrumental variable (IV) estimation to address endogeneity in evaluating social capital’s effect on elderly well-being in the context of post-tsunami Aceh. Utilizing secondary data from the 2022 STAR survey, the study applies a quantitative approach with an IV probit model to analyze the impact of social capital on binary health outcomes (SAHS, ADL, PTSD). Instrumental variables include residence status, number of social networks, and life satisfaction chosen for their correlation with social capital but exogeneity with health outcomes. Tests for endogeneity, weak instruments, and over-identification were conducted to validate the analytical framework. This research found that informal social capital significantly improves physical health (SAHS and ADL) and mental health (PTSD), although community participation shows no significant associationwith PTSD. In conclusion, support from family and neighbors plays a vital role in enhancing elderly well-being postdisaster.Policymakers should prioritize strengthening informal support systems to improve the quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract

Mangupa is a traditional Mandailing ritual practice imbued with profound spiritual and social dimensions,serving as a form of transcendental communication that connects individuals to their community and a higher spiritual \realm. In the context of contemporary mental health services, this practice encounters complex dynamics. This study adopts a phenomenological approach to explore the subjective experiences of indigenous practitioners, mental health professionals, and patients in interpreting Mangupa as part of the psychosocial recovery process. The findings reveal that this ritual fosters therapeutic trust, provides emotional support, and offers a meaningful space for spiritual recovery. However, the integration of Mangupa into clinical settings is often constrained by administrative limitations and dominant biomedical standards. This study emphasizes the importance of fostering dialogical spaces between cultural practicesand modern medical approaches not to preserve traditional essence per se, but to generate new, ontextually dynamic meanings. Accordingly, the encounter between these two paradigms illustrates the potential for a transformative shift toward a more inclusive, participatory, and culturally grounded mental health service.

Abstract

This study examines research trends on promoting mental health literacy in children’s literature throughbibliometric analysis. With growing recognition of children’s mental health as a critical issue, literature has emerged as a valuable tool to foster emotional resilience and well-being. This study aims to identify emerging themes and shifts in focus, ensuring future studies address the most pressing mental health concerns in children’s literature. Additionally, mapping these trends highlights under-researched areas, guiding targeted investigations to strengthen evidence-based interventions and support for children. This study employed data from Scopus and found seven eligible publications between 2015 and 2024. To comprehensively analyze the collected data, VOSviewer is applied to capture co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrences, and thematic clusters. The results highlight a rise in publications during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting increased global attention to mental health. The United States leads research output, followed by China and the United Kingdom, though cross-institutional collaborations remain limited. Prominent themes include resilience, emotional intelligence, and the impact of bullying, with emerging topics like digital interventions and bibliotherapy. However, areas such as the experiences of foster children and those facing cyberbullying are underexplored. The study underscores the need for interdisciplinary approaches and international partnerships to address these gaps. Fragmented research themes highlight the importance of broader integration. By promoting emotional literacy and resilience, children’s literature holds significant potential to support mental health initiatives, offering valuable insights for future research and practical applications.

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, zakat played a crucial role in mitigating the community’s economicrisks. Although technological developments have encouraged the emergence of digital zakat paymentplatforms, their adoption in South Kalimantan has been relatively slow. Many zakat payers (muzaki) continue to prefer traditional methods of zakat payment. This study aims to understand the reasons behind this preference by examining muzaki’s perceptions, subjective norms,and attitudes, as well as their relation to the spiritual comfort they experience. Using a qualitative approach,data were collected through in-depth interviews with academics, zakat payers, and staff from Zakat Management Organizations (BAZNAS and LAZNAS) in South Kalimantan. The findings reveal that muzaki’s perceptions of traditional zakat payment are driven by several key factors, including proximity to zakatreceiving institutions, deeply rooted habits, ease of implementation, and negative perceptions of digital zakat methods. Muzaki’s subjective norms regarding zakatare shaped by various sources of knowledge, such as digital media, BAZNAS services, government initiatives,print media, banking institutions, self-initiative, family,religious scholars, digital literacy, and peers. Muzaki’s attitudes in the re-actualization of zakat managementare reflected in efforts to explain zakat payment methods at BAZNAS, provide information about zakat institutions,encourage others to pay zakat, and describe zakat distribution and utilization programs. In addition, the study finds that factors influencing muzaki’s decision to pay zakat directly include the perceived importance of akad (contract) in zakat payment, satisfaction, the use of bank accounts, the lack of legal endorsementand socialization from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), as well as limited communication about zakat digitalization, which leads some muzaki to reject digital zakat payments. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the Theory of Planned Behavior, the concept of maslahah in Islamic economics, and the Spiritual Well-being Theory in explaining the interconnectedness of religious values, culture, and spiritual comfort with muzaki behavior. Practically, the results provide insights for zakat institutions to design digitalization strategies that are sensitive to spiritual and local cultural values,ensuring that technological innovation aligns with the preservation of meaningful religious practices.
