Spiritual Equilibrium: Syaikh Abdurrauf Singkel’s Concept of Tazkiyat al-Nafs
Full text linkThe pursuit of worldly abundance and immersion in fleeting pleasures has quietly shaped the spirit of contemporary society, leading to a subtle yet profound imbalance within the human soul. By placing transitory possessions and temporal delights at the center of life's purpose, these tendencies have contributed to a deep spiritual estrangement. This study examines Syaikh Abdurrauf Singkel's concept of Tazkiyat al-nafs (soul purification) as a comprehensive spiritual framework for restoring harmony between the material and the spiritual. Drawing upon Singkel's Sufi teachings, this research explores how his methodology offers a pathway toward Insān kāmil (the perfect human)—a being who integrates worldly responsibilities with elevated spiritual consciousness. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach through library research, the study analyzes Singkel's seminal works, including Tanbīh al-Mashyī, Mir'at al-Ṭullāb, Daqāiq al-Ḥurūf, and 'Umdat al-Muhtājīn. The findings reveal how classical Islamic spiritual disciplines—dhikr (remembrance of God), muhāsaba (self-reflection), murāqaba (divine vigilance), and tawakkal (trust in God)—serve as an enduring guide to addressing the restlessness born of excessive worldly attachment and the allure of transient joys, offering a balanced and timeless path toward inner peace in the modern age.
Contribution: This study reintroduces Syaikh Abdurrauf Singkel’s concept of Tazkiyat al-nafs as a spiritual response to the prevailing pursuit of worldly abundance and immersion in fleeting pleasures, offering a practical Sufi framework rooted in Islamic tradition to guide individuals toward Insān kāmil in today’s consumer-oriented society

REDOX AND THERMODYNAMIC INVESTIGATION OF 2-HYDROXYETHYLETHYLENEDIAMINETRIACETATOIRON(III) REACTION WITH 2-MERCAPTOETHANOLIC ACID IN A BICARBONATE-BUFFERED ENVIRONMENT
Full text linkThe coordination chemistry of hexadentate ligands is compelling, as it provides both kinetic and thermodynamic stability to the coordinated complex, facilitating electron distribution while preserving structural integrity. In this study, the redox behavior of the reaction between 2-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetatoiron(III) (HEI) and 2-mercaptoethanolic acid (MEA) was investigated spectrophotometrically in a bicarbonate-buffered environment. The reaction followed first-order kinetics with respect to [HEI] and [MEA], with a 2:2 molar ratio observed. The reaction rate was significantly affected by increases in the ionic strength and the dielectric constant of the medium. Ion catalysis was evident, and variations in pH had a significant effect on the redox pathway. Activation enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, as determined via the Eyring–Polanyi equation, indicate that the reaction required additional thermal energy to proceed. The formation of thiyl radicals facilitated the conversion of the mercapto compound to a disulfide. A Michaelis-Menten-type plot (MMTP) supported the absence of intermediate species participation, as indicated by a negative result, further corroborated by matching spectroscopic spectra of reacted and unreacted mixtures. The proposed mechanism offers insight into the potential anticancer activity of mercaptoethanolic acid
The Formation of Danantara: Between Efficiency and the Threat of Moral Hazard for State Investments
Full text linkThe establishment of Danantara as a state investment agency reflects Indonesia’s effort to enhance the efficiency of state asset management, yet it simultaneously raises significant legal and governance concerns regarding transparency and accountability. This study examines the legal risks inherent in the formation of Danantara, a state entity tasked with managing strategic SOE assets under Law No. 1/2025 and Government Regulation No. 10/2025. Employing a doctrinal legal method with a normative-prescriptive approach, it compares the regulatory frameworks of Danantara and Singapore’s Temasek Holdings. The analysis reveals significant vulnerabilities, including moral hazard, concentration of unchecked authority, and exclusion from the state finance regime. These structural flaws may undermine legal accountability and public oversight. Drawing on comparative legal insights, this paper proposes reforms to strengthen institutional independence, ensure transparent asset management, and restore checks and balances in sovereign investment governance. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on state capitalism and the legal architecture required to support it.
Pembentukan Danantara sebagai Lembaga investasi negara mencerminkan Upaya Indonesia untuk meningkatkan efisiensi pengelolaan aset negara, namun menimbulkan kekhawatiran hukum dan tata kelola terkait transparansi dan akuntabilitas. Studi ini mengkaji risiko hukum yang melekat dalam pembentukan Danantara, sebuah entitas negara yang ditugaskan untuk mengelola aset BUMN strategis berdasarkan Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 2025 dan Peraturan Pemerintah No. 10 Tahun 2025. Dengan menggunakan metode hukum normatif dan pendekatan preskriptif, studi ini membandingkan kerangka regulasi Danantara dengan Temasek Holdings di Singapura. Analisis menunjukkan adanya kerentanan signifikan, termasuk potensi moral hazard, konsentrasi kewenangan tanpa pengawasan memadai, serta pengecualian dari rezim keuangan negara. Kelemahan struktural ini dapat melemahkan akuntabilitas hukum dan pengawasan publik. Berdasarkan wawasan perbandingan hukum, tulisan ini mengusulkan reformasi untuk memperkuat independensi institusional, memastikan pengelolaan aset yang transparan, serta memulihkan mekanisme checks and balances dalam tata kelola investasi negara. Temuan ini berkontribusi pada diskursus yang berkembang mengenai kapitalisme negara dan arsitektur hukum yang dibutuhkan untuk mendukungnya.

Evaluasi fungsi kemas ulang informasi berbasis kecerdasan buatan di perpustakaan perguruan tinggi
Full text linkPurpose. Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds great potential for repackaging information in academic libraries, particularly for historical physical collections. Each library must align its information management strategies with institutional development, as seen in the Library of Universitas 'Aisyiyah Yogyakarta (UNISA), which has evolved from a Midwifery School into a university. Two special collections in this library were evaluated to assess the effectiveness of AI-based information repackaging. This evaluation is important to ensure that resource utilization aligns with the outcomes achieved. The study aims to identify the functional value of AI-based repackaging for these collections.
Methodology. This descriptive qualitative study was conducted from September to October 2024 at the UNISA Yogyakarta Library. A purposive sampling method was used to obtain in-depth interviews from three informants based on their fields of expertise. Data were collected through observation and interviews. Data analysis included needs analysis, design proposal, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was tested using time triangulation and confirmability techniques.
Results and discussion. The results of the study show that most of the AI-based information repackaging functions at the UNISA Yogyakarta Library have fulfilled their functions. However, there is one function that has not been fulfilled, namely as a medium that accelerates the application of research or research results.
Conclusions. While the majority of AI-based information repackaging functions have been successful, efforts are still needed to enhance its role in disseminating and applying research results. Strategic development, inter-unit collaboration, and stronger technology integration are recommended to optimize these services
Application of the Problem Based Learning Model to Improve the Learning Outcomes of Students of PAI Subjects in Integrated Islamic Elementary Schools
Full text linkThis study aims to describe the implementation and improvement of learning outcomes of students in class IA IT SD IT Ribhul Ulum Kedungmutih in the subject of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) material Faith in Allah SWT through the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) learning model. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) which is conducted in two cycles. The research subjects consisted of 18 students of class IA. Data collection was carried out through written tests and observation sheets. The results showed that in the first cycle, there were 8 out of 18 students (44%) who achieved the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) of 70 with an average grade of 64. In cycle II, there was a significant increase, where all students (100%) achieved KKM with an average class score increasing to 80. This shows that the application of the PBL model contributes positively to improving students' understanding, especially in the material of Faith in Allah SWT. The implementation of learning with PBL provides a more active and meaningful learning experience so as to encourage a significant improvement in student learning outcomes. Thus, the PBL model can be an effective learning strategy recommended in the context of Islamic religious education at the elementary school level
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
Reconstructing the Imago Dei in the Posthuman Era: An Eschatological Theology of Mediated Embodiment
Full text linkThis article examines the theological challenges posed by posthumanism to the anthropology of Christian theology, with a focus on the doctrine of imago Dei, the meaning of the body, and the eschatological horizons of the Christian faith. The unit of analysis in this study is a theological discourse on posthumanism—especially transhumanism and critical posthumanism—which is dialogued with systematic theology and reflection of Christian education. The purpose of this research is to reconstruct the understanding of the Imago Dei in the context of the posthuman era and to formulate a theological framework that can critically respond to technological narratives without compromising human dignity or Christian eschatological expectations. This research employs a qualitative method based on literature studies, utilizing a philosophical-theological hermeneutic approach, which enables a critical interpretation of classical and contemporary theological sources, as well as major works in the philosophy of posthumanism and the philosophy of technology. The study's findings reveal that posthumanism exposes the limitations of the substantive-rational imago Dei model and encourages the reconstruction of imago Dei as a relational-eschatological category rooted in communion with God, others, and creation. From this reconstruction was born the eschatological theological concept of the mediated body, which affirms that human existence is always mediated by technology, yet still directed toward its fullness in Christ, not to technological salvation. The primary contribution of this article lies in the formulation of an integrative theological framework for the dialogue between the Christian faith and posthumanism within the context of contemplative theology
Community-Based Occupational Health Promotion for Rural Youth Through Ergonomic Education and Therapeutic Swimming Training
