This study aims to analyse the influence of multicultural and ethical values integration on the effectiveness of digital-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at UIN Jambi. The primary objective is to determine how these values contribute to shaping tolerant and responsible student behaviour within a digital landscape often marked by polarisation. A quantitative research design was employed, utilising regression analysis to test the correlation between value-based pedagogy and learning outcomes. The population consisted of 310 sixth-semester students, with a representative sample selected via Slovin’s formula. The findings indicate that multicultural values significantly foster tolerance and appreciation for intellectual diversity, particularly in the study of Islamic jurisprudence, while ethical values promote academic honesty and responsible technology use. The study’s novelty is established through its empirical evidence that the integration of these specific values accounts for a substantial 61.8% of the variance in digital learning effectiveness. This study provides empirical evidence from Islamic higher education on how multicultural and ethical value integration predicts digital learning effectiveness. Despite these effective outcomes, the results suggest that further improvements are required in student interaction and assessment strategies. The findings suggest that value-embedded digital pedagogy is essential for developing technologically competent and ethically grounded graduates.

This study examines the synergy between interior design and the appreciation of texture art through the framework of Csikszentmihalyi’s Creative Systems Theory, focusing on the interaction among individual, domain, and social dimensions in shaping the creative practices of collector-designers. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, with data obtained through semi-structured in-depth interviews with professional interior designers who are also active collectors of texture art. The analysis was conducted using a systematic thematic approach based on the three dimensions of the theory. The results indicate that the individual dimension is reflected in the integration of design principles and aesthetic sensitivity, flow experiences when interacting with artworks, and reflections on textural expressiveness beyond technical aspects. Domain interaction generates a new aesthetic framework, in which classical design principles enrich material interpretation and exposure to experimental art encourages a paradigm shift toward adaptive approaches. Meanwhile, the field dimension operates through networks with galleries, curators, and artists that facilitate creative dialogue and curatorial intuition. This study contributes to the understanding of cross-disciplinary creativity, showing that innovation emerges through dynamic interactions between individual combinatorial abilities, knowledge exchange across domains, and the support of a creative ecosystem that fosters collaboration and reflection in contemporary design and art practices.

Incorporating multicultural values into the process of teaching and learning in school is important for enhancing inclusivity. There has been an abundance of studies conducted on this topic; however, most of them were conducted on special related subject matters, and there are limited resources for exploring strategies of how multicultural values can be implemented in all dimensions of school life. This study aims to explore strategies for incorporating multicultural values in an inclusive school. The study was conducted in the form of a case study in a private full-inclusion primary school in North Bali, considered a favourite and successful school in implementing multicultural values by the society around the school. The teachers have received specialized trainings to support and teach autistic students in an inclusive class. The school has 12 students with mild autism spectrum disorder (ASD) integrated with neurotypical students in every grade from grades 1 to 6. The data were gathered over a period of six months through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis and were subsequently analysed qualitatively. This study found three main results. First, the school uses eight integrated strategies, five through activities that are part of the curriculum and three through activities that are not part of the curriculum. Second, these strategies have effects on many levels, such as more empathy, cooperation, less prejudice, more cultural pride, better critical thinking, and stronger social ties. Third, teachers' answers to the questionnaire show that they have consistently strong positive views about the program's cognitive, interpersonal, civic, and global outcomes. The study implied that the strategies positively influence students' attitudes and holistic development.

Language functions not only as a medium of communication but also as a site where ideology and power relations are produced and contested. This study examines how patriarchal ideology is both constructed and resisted in Chapter V of Putu Pratiwi’s Melawan Bahasa Patriarki, entitled “Liberation of Women from Patriarchal Language Today.” Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis, the research analyses the text at the levels of textual features, discursive practice, and socio-cultural practice. Using a qualitative approach, selected excerpts are examined with attention to lexical choices, transitivity, sentence mood (affirmative and imperative constructions), modality, and intertextuality. The findings indicate that patriarchal ideology is embedded in gender-marked vocabulary and epistemic modalities that normalise male-centred perspectives. At the same time, the text constructs resistance through imperative appeals, the redefinition of feminine identity, and the introduction of alternative terminology. Discursively, readers—particularly women—are positioned as active agents of resistance. Socio-culturally, the analysis shows how linguistic practices both reflect and challenge broader patriarchal structures. This study contributes to Critical Discourse Analysis and feminist linguistics by demonstrating how linguistic microstructures interact with social contexts to sustain and resist patriarchal power in contemporary Indonesian discourse.

This study investigates the effectiveness and challenges of integrating blended learning and competency-based approaches in English language teaching (ELT) in remote areas of Maluku. Limited access to educational resources, including instructional materials and teacher training, remains a major constraint affecting learning quality. A competency-based approach emphasises measurable English skills and learning outcomes, while blended learning combines face-to-face instruction with digital technologies to enhance flexibility and access. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of curriculum documents in several remote schools. The findings indicate that competency-based blended learning has the potential to reduce geographical barriers and promote more active student engagement. However, its implementation is hindered by inadequate technological infrastructure, limited teacher digital competence, and challenges in aligning the curriculum with local contexts and national standards. This study highlights the need for sustained policy support, continuous teacher professional development, and stakeholder collaboration to improve the quality of ELT in marginalised regions.

The rapid urbanisation and population growth occurring in Indonesia have transformed housing patterns, particularly in suburban regions such as Bekasi Regency. As a satellite city near Jakarta, Bekasi presents a unique setting where accessibility, infrastructure expansion, and economic growth converge to shape residential demand. This study explores how Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategies are experienced and interpreted by developers, marketers, and homebuyers in influencing interest toward residential properties. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, and were then analysed thematically with NVivo software. Participants described the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics in everyday marketing practice—particularly in identifying consumer behaviour patterns, refining message personalisation, and improving digital responsiveness. The narratives also revealed that macroeconomic and policy contexts, such as shifting interest rates, government housing incentives, and credit accessibility, deeply affect how consumers perceive value and trust in property brands. The findings highlight that IMC functions as a relational and interpretive process, enabling trust, emotional resonance, and message coherence across platforms. This study offers contextual insights into how marketing communication, technology adoption, and economic forces intertwine in shaping the lived experiences of Indonesia’s suburban property market.

This article examines the intricate relationship between the expansion of oil palm plantations and the preservation of customary (adat) systems in the villages of Salareh Aia Utara and Salareh Aia Barat, Agam Regency, West Sumatra. Employing a critical ethnographic approach, the study investigates how customary land, traditionally managed by Ninik Mamak (traditional leaders), has been transferred to private companies—particularly PT AMP Plantation—through adat-based agreements and compensation mechanisms. The research highlights the emergence of internal conflicts among traditional leaders, disputes over authority and compensation, and broader tensions between indigenous communities and corporate interests. Findings reveal that the process of land transfer, while formally adhering to customary and legal procedures, often leads to contestation, fragmentation of community leadership, and persistent disputes over land rights and plasma distribution. The article highlights the intricate interplay of economic, social, and political factors that influence these dynamics, underscoring the need for companies and policymakers to acknowledge the evolving nature of customary authority and the importance of culturally sensitive engagement. Ultimately, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how modernisation and agribusiness intersect with indigenous rights and social structures in contemporary Minangkabau society.

The proliferation of social media platforms has created substantial opportunities for digital content monetisation, fundamentally transforming the digital economy. However, this growth is accompanied by complex ethical challenges, including concerns over content authenticity, user privacy, and adverse psychological and social impacts. This study investigates these ethical dilemmas and evaluates the role of media literacy in fostering responsible digital content management. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research integrates content analysis of diverse social media platforms with in-depth interviews involving active users and media literacy experts. The findings indicate that monetisation practices frequently compromise content integrity and user well-being, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced media literacy. The study concludes that a collaborative approach—engaging platforms, users, and educational institutions—is essential to strengthen media literacy and promote ethical engagement in the digital era.

The purpose of the study was to study the Impact of Physical Activity Level on the Psychological Health of the students of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). which 164 students from SPPU were selected using a Purposive sampling technique. The Descriptive Comparative method was administered to determine if there is a significant difference in Psychological Health among students of SPPU with respect to their Physical Activity Level. The Mean and S.D. of Psychological Health of Highly Active Male was 35.48(±13.896) and for Highly Active Female was 31.2 (±13.79), the Mean and S.D. of Psychological Health of Active Male was 39.75 (±18.714) and for Active Female was 31(±29.051) respectively, the Mean and S.D. of Psychological Health of Moderately Active Male was 43.77(±18.77) and for Moderately Active Female was 46.71 (±20.65) respectively, the Mean and S.D. of Psychological Health of Low Active Male was 37.77(±23.67) and for Low Active Female was 49(±17.62) respectively. The Mean and S.D. of Psychological Health of Sedentary Male were 35.44(±15.75) and for Sedentary Female were 50.81(±17.88), respectively. Statistical tools such as Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA and Post hoc test were used to analyse the data. The results of ANOVA showed that the F-value for females was 4.015 (p=0.005), indicating a significant difference in psychological health among females based on their physical activity level. Further, the F value in males was 0.529 (p=0.715), which shows that there was no significant difference in the psychological health of males based on physical activity level. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in psychological health among females, depending on their Physical activity level.
