UTILIZATION OF BAGASSE ASH FOR THE PREPARATION OF SILICA AEROGEL/MgO COMPOSITES THROUGH AMBIENT-PRESSURE DRYING
Full text linkThis study presents the preparation of silica aerogel/MgO composites using bagasse ash as a silica source and MgCl₂·6H₂O as the MgO precursor. Sodium silicate was extracted from bagasse ash and converted into silicic acid through ion-exchange treatment. Silica aerogel formation was achieved through gelation, followed by surface modification using TMCS and HMDS. Magnesium oxide was incorporated via co-precipitation with MgCl₂·6H₂O and subsequently stabilized through calcination. The composites were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and BET–BJH analyses. XRD results revealed a hybrid amorphous–crystalline structure, with silica predominantly in the amorphous phase and MgO in the crystalline phase. BET analysis showed a pore volume of 0.50 cm³/g and a specific surface area of 121.99 m²/g, while the pore-size distribution confirmed its mesoporous nature. FTIR spectra indicated the presence of functional groups corresponding to Si–O–Si, Si–C, C–H, and Mg–O, confirming the successful integration of MgO into the silica aerogel framework. These findings demonstrate the successful preparation of silica aerogel/MgO composites from bagasse ash under ambient-pressure drying conditions

The role of Islamic work ethic in moderating the influence of human relations, work environment, and work discipline on employee performance
Full text linkEmployee performance plays a pivotal role in determining organizational success, particularly in companies that rely heavily on human capital. This study examines the influence of human relations, work environment, and work discipline on employee performance and investigates the moderating role of Islamic work ethic in these relationships. Drawing upon Human Capital Theory, the research adopts a quantitative approach involving 100 employees of PT. PMJ in Central Java, selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using statistical inference and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that human relations and work environment have a significant positive impact on employee performance, while work discipline shows a positive but insignificant effect. Furthermore, the Islamic work ethic significantly moderates the relationship between the work environment and employee performance, indicating that employees who embody Islamic values respond more positively to supportive working conditions. However, the moderating effect of Islamic work ethic is not evident in the relationships between human relations or work discipline and performance. These results underscore the importance of cultivating an Islamic ethical framework that aligns with human capital development and workplace well-being. The study contributes to the growing literature on Islamic management by emphasizing the role of ethical and spiritual values in enhancing employee performance. Practically, it suggests that organizations should integrate Islamic work ethics—such as honesty, diligence, and sincerity—into management practices to strengthen employee motivation, productivity, and organizational effectiveness
The influence of motivation and career opportunities on career choice: the mediating role of psychological capital
Full text linkThe rapid transformation brought by the industrial revolution 4.0 has created new challenges for the Indonesian workforce, particularly in aligning motivation, career opportunities, and psychological capital in career decision-making. This study aims to explain the causal relationship between motivation, career opportunities, psychological capital, and career choice among final-year students and recent graduates in Semarang City. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 142 respondents through purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that motivation and career opportunities significantly influence career choice both directly and indirectly through psychological capital as a mediating variable. Motivation and perceived opportunities positively affect psychological capital, which in turn strengthens individuals’ confidence, optimism, hope, and resilience in making career decisions. The model explains 61.1% of the variance in career choice, confirming that psychological capital functions as a key mediating mechanism linking internal motivation and external opportunities. These findings contribute to human resource management and positive psychology by highlighting the importance of integrating psychological development into career planning strategies, suggesting that educational institutions and policymakers should foster motivation and psychological capital to enhance workforce readiness and career sustainability
From Pulpit to Platform: Digital Literacy and the Reconfiguration of Religious Authority among State Counselors in West Sumatra
Full text linkThis study examines the transformation of Islamic preaching from traditional spaces to digital platforms, focusing on the experiences of state religious counselors in West Sumatra. The unit of analysis is the group of penyuluh agama (religious counselors) under Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs who are adapting their da'wah practices to the algorithmic dynamics of social media. The study aims to explore their level of digital literacy, the challenges they encounter in online preaching, and how these affect their religious authority in a digitally mediated society. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 19 counselors across several districts, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that most counselors possess low digital literacy and rely on informal learning, resulting in limited online engagement and visibility. Challenges include a lack of technical training, inadequate institutional support, and fear of online misinterpretation. However, participants recognize the potential of digital media to expand da'wah outreach if supported by structured literacy programs and creative content strategies. This study contributes to understanding how state religious authority is being reconfigured in the digital age and provides policy insights for strengthening digital competence within Islamic counseling institutions
Jesus as a Wounded Woman: A Postcolonial Feminist Trauma Reading of Emanuel Garibay's Emmaus
Full text linkThis article uses Emanuel Garibay's painting "Emmaus" as the primary unit of analysis to construct a theological understanding of Jesus as a wounded woman within the framework of postcolonial feminist trauma theology. This research aims to examine how visual art can function as an alternative theological space to reimagine Christology in responding to the experiences of trauma and sexual violence experienced by women. Methodologically, this study uses Erwin Panofsky's three-stage art analysis—pre-iconography, iconography, and iconology—integrated with postcolonial feminist trauma hermeneutics. The study's findings reveal that the Emmaus painting depicts Jesus as a wounded female figure, where the wounded body serves as a symbol of trauma, resistance, and solidarity with marginalized women. This reading offers a novelty in the form of a Christological metaphor that extends theological reflection beyond the biblical text into the realm of theological aesthetics. This article contributes to the global discourse of trauma theology and feminist Christology by affirming visual art as a constructive medium for the articulation of recovery, the existence of the body, and the formation of a community of survivors of sexual violence
From Syariah to Berkah: The Tradition of Ṣiḥḥaḥ Akad Nikah at Jam'iyyah Rifa'iyah
Full text linkThis article examines the ṣiḥḥaḥ of marriage, still practiced by the Rifa'iyah community. The implementation of ṣiḥḥaḥ begins with negotiations between families and religious leaders, the selection of guardians, and the appointment of marriage witnesses. In addition, the bride-to-be learns the sciences of marriage, the improvement of two sentences of shahada. This research uses an ethnographic approach, focusing on the Jema'ah and Kyai Rifa'iyah. Data were collected in the field through observations, interviews with relevant parties, including the kyai (Rifa'iyah religious leader) and congregations, and documentation. Data analysis is an interactive process, namely data reduction, data display, and data verification. The research shows that the practice of ṣiḥḥaḥ until now is one of the efforts to preserve Tradition in the Rifa'iyah congregation, and its meaning has undergone a shift - from syari'ah – the ratification of the previous marriage akad – to berkah – hoping for blessings from the kyai, especially Rifa'iyah
Colonial Legacies and Gender Representation on Social Media's Muslim Fashion Brands in Indonesia
Full text linkDespite the positive impacts, there are challenges in how Muslim fashion is digitally represented, particularly in how social media can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes or uphold Western beauty standards shaped by colonial legacies. Therefore, critical engagement is essential to ensure a more inclusive and unbiased portrayal. This study examines postcolonial and gender representations in Indonesian Muslim fashion brands on social media using a qualitative content analysis approach. The study analyses four Instagram accounts using an interpretive framework: @vanillahijab, @winonamodest, @hijabalila, and @nusseyba.id. By integrating postcolonial and gender theories, this research critically explores the influence of colonial discourse on hijab brands in the digital space. The findings reveal that these brands' social media platforms serve as a space for cultural reclamation, challenge traditional gender roles, and offer more diverse representations of Muslim women. However, many still reflect colonial narratives, particularly in promoting Westernized beauty ideals such as fair (white/light) skin, a thin, and a tall figure. Regarding gender representation, the content predominantly depicts women as professionals actively engaged in the workforce. These highlight the need for a more conscious and inclusive approach in digital Muslim fashion branding, encouraging brands to actively challenge colonial beauty norms and promote diverse representations that resonate with Indonesia's rich cultural and ethnic identities
ANALISIS BATAS UMUR PERKAWINAN DI INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF UNDANG-UNDANG NO. 16 TAHUN 2019 DAN Q.S AL-ṬALAQ AYAT 4: PENDEKATAN MAQASID SYARIAH
No full textThis study examines the legal marriage age based on Law No. 16 of 2019 and Q.S Al-Ṭalaq [65]: 4 using Jasser Auda’s Maqasid Syariah approach. It analyzes the differences between positive law, which sets the minimum marriage age at 19, and Islamic law, which does not specify an explicit age but emphasizes physical, mental, and emotional maturity. Employing a qualitative method with content analysis, this study explores the marriage age framework in light of Maqasid Syariah, focusing on preserving individual and familial welfare. The findings reveal that Islamic law allows flexibility in marriage age, provided specific criteria, including readiness in knowledge, mental, psychological, reproductive, and material aspects, are fulfilled. Jasser Auda’s holistic approach highlights the importance of considering social, cultural, and long-term impacts, such as preventing stunting, domestic violence, and family dysfunction. This study concludes that while the marriage age set by positive law is binding, the principles of Maqasid Syariah can bridge the gap between perspectives, fostering the establishment of harmonious families aligned with Islamic values. Consequently, this research offers significant contributions to integrating positive legal norms and Islamic principles to ensure comprehensive family and societal protection
Reconstructing Gender Relations for Family Resilience in Minangkabau: Integrating Islamic Law and Customary Law
