State Intervention in Polygamy Law: Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in Comparative Perspective
type: item
description: This study examines state intervention in polygamy regulation in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia and its implications for women’s protection and individual freedom. Using a normative legal research design with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyzes legal frameworks, scholarly literature, and Islamic legal principles governing polygamous marriage in both countries. The findings reveal two contrasting regulatory models. Indonesia adopts a preventive approach through judicial authorization and administrative requirements intended to protect women and children, whereas Saudi Arabia grants greater autonomy to individuals by relying primarily on religious obligations and post-facto legal remedies. These differences reflect distinct legal traditions, social contexts, and understandings of the state’s role in family law. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, both models seek to realize justice and public welfare, yet each presents different strengths and limitations. The study argues that an effective polygamy regulation framework should balance legal protection, individual autonomy, and the substantive objectives of Islamic law. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji intervensi negara dalam regulasi poligami di Indonesia dan Arab Saudi serta implikasinya terhadap perlindungan perempuan dan kebebasan individu. Penelitian menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan komparatif melalui analisis terhadap regulasi, literatur akademik, dan prinsip-prinsip hukum Islam yang mengatur praktik poligami di kedua negara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya dua model pengaturan yang berbeda. Indonesia menerapkan pendekatan preventif melalui izin pengadilan dan persyaratan administratif untuk melindungi perempuan dan anak, sedangkan Arab Saudi memberikan ruang yang lebih luas bagi otonomi individu dengan menitikberatkan pada kewajiban syariat dan mekanisme perlindungan setelah terjadinya perkawinan. Perbedaan tersebut m…

Justice as Myth: A Barthesian Reading of Keadilan (The Verdict) through Surah An-Nisa: 135
type: item
description: This study examines the representation of justice in Keadilan (The Verdict) through Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework, using QS. An-Nisa 4:135 as an ethical and interpretive anchor. Existing studies on Indonesian legal films have largely focused on narrative and social criticism, while limited attention has been given to the relationship between Qur’anic values and cinematic meaning-making. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach, this research analyzes key scenes through the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings reveal that the film positions QS. An-Nisa 4:135 as a moral reference for justice, yet simultaneously constructs ideological tensions through representations of legal inequality, vigilantism, and the marginalization of idealism. Three dominant myths emerge: law serves the powerful, vigilantism becomes an alternative form of justice, and idealism is sacrificed within corrupt systems. The study contributes to the intersection of Islamic media studies and film semiotics by demonstrating how Qur’anic ethics can function as a critical lens for examining ideological constructions in popular cinema. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji representasi keadilan dalam film Keadilan (The Verdict) melalui kerangka semiotika Roland Barthes dengan menjadikan QS. An-Nisa: 135 sebagai jangkar etis dan interpretatif. Kajian mengenai film hukum Indonesia umumnya berfokus pada narasi dan kritik sosial, sementara hubungan antara nilai-nilai Al-Qur’an dan konstruksi makna sinematik masih jarang diteliti. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif interpretatif, penelitian ini menganalisis sejumlah adegan kunci melalui tingkat denotasi, konotasi, dan mitos. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa film menempatkan QS. An-Nisa: 135 sebagai rujukan moral keadilan, namun secara bersamaan membangun ketegangan ideologis melalui representasi ketimpangan hukum, vigilantisme, dan marginalisasi idealisme. Terdapat tiga mitos dominan yang dihasilkan, yaitu hukum berpihak kepada yang berku…

Bay’ah and Representative Legitimacy in Indonesia’s Constitutional Order
type: item
description: This study examines the substantive relationship between bay’ah in Islamic political thought and the system of indirect democracy formerly practiced in Indonesia through the authority of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR). Using a normative and comparative approach based on constitutional law and fiqh siyasah, the study analyzes the role of representative institutions in establishing political legitimacy. The findings show that both ahl al-hall wa al-’aqd in Islamic governance and the MPR in Indonesia functioned as representative bodies that conferred legitimacy upon political leaders through formal oath mechanisms. However, the study also identifies fundamental differences concerning sovereignty, constitutional hierarchy, and mechanisms of political accountability. While bay’ah is rooted in divine legitimacy and religious obligation, the MPR system was grounded in constitutional popular sovereignty. This study contributes to comparative constitutional discourse by demonstrating the conceptual intersection between Islamic political legitimacy and representative democratic governance in Indonesia. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan substantif antara konsep baiat dalam pemikiran politik Islam dan sistem demokrasi tidak langsung yang pernah diterapkan di Indonesia melalui kewenangan Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR). Dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif dan komparatif berbasis hukum tata negara dan fiqh siyasah, penelitian ini menganalisis peran lembaga perwakilan dalam membentuk legitimasi politik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ahl al-hall wa al-’aqd dalam pemerintahan Islam maupun MPR di Indonesia sama-sama berfungsi sebagai lembaga representatif yang memberikan legitimasi kepada pemimpin politik melalui mekanisme sumpah formal. Namun demikian, terdapat perbedaan mendasar terkait sumber kedaulatan, hierarki ketatanegaraan, dan mekanisme akuntabilitas politik. Jika baiat berlandaskan legitimasi ilahiah dan kewajiban religius, sistem MPR bertumpu …

Cross-Scale Design of HPHT Cement Plugging for Fractured Deepwater Wells
type: item
description: Severe lost circulation in fractured deepwater formations under high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) conditions remains a major challenge in drilling operations, often causing substantial non-productive time and high remediation costs. This study proposes a cross-scale design framework integrating fracture-scale flow modelling, cement-matrix durability analysis, and multi-objective optimisation for HPHT cement plugging applications. Laboratory experiments were conducted using artificial fracture-cavity cores under conditions up to 210 °C and 130 MPa. A modified Brinkman–Forchheimer model was calibrated to evaluate slurry injectability, while cyclic loading tests assessed long-term sealing durability with nano-silica reinforcement. The integrated NSGA-II optimisation identified an optimal ultrafine cement–geopolymer ratio of 1:0.7 with 3 wt% nano-silica. Validation tests demonstrated improved plugging performance, achieving an 83% success rate and extending sealing life from 18 to 62 hours compared with conventional Class G cement. The framework provides a practical basis for improving HPHT lost circulation control and cement design reliability. Abstrak Lost circulation parah pada formasi deepwater berrekahan di kondisi high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) masih menjadi tantangan utama dalam operasi pengeboran karena menyebabkan waktu non-produktif dan biaya remediasi yang tinggi. Penelitian ini mengembangkan kerangka desain lintas skala yang mengintegrasikan pemodelan aliran skala rekahan, analisis durabilitas matriks semen, dan optimasi multiobjektif untuk aplikasi penyumbatan semen HPHT. Eksperimen laboratorium dilakukan menggunakan inti rekahan-rongga buatan pada kondisi hingga 210 °C dan 130 MPa. Model Brinkman–Forchheimer termodifikasi digunakan untuk mengevaluasi injektabilitas slurry, sedangkan pengujian beban siklik menilai ketahanan penyegelan jangka panjang dengan penguatan nano-silika. Optimasi NSGA-II menghasilkan komposisi optimum rasio semen ultrafin…

Omni-Directional Engagement and Development Strategy: Indonesia in a Fragmented Global Order
type: item
description: Indonesia’s development strategy in 2025 reflects the challenge of pursuing industrial transformation amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry and domestic constraints. This study examines three interconnected arenas—nickel downstreaming, ASEAN dynamics in the South China Sea, and the Nusantara capital project—using a qualitative case study approach based on document analysis and process tracing. It advances the concept of omni-directional engagement to explain how Indonesia engages multiple global actors to maximize economic opportunities while preserving strategic autonomy. The findings show that this strategy has generated short-term gains, particularly in resource-based industrialization and diversified partnerships. However, its sustainability is constrained by institutional fragmentation, environmental pressures, and fiscal limitations. The article argues that stronger governance capacity, policy coordination, and integration of environmental and social considerations are essential to transform short-term gains into long-term development outcomes. Abstrak Strategi pembangunan Indonesia pada tahun 2025 mencerminkan tantangan dalam mendorong transformasi industri di tengah rivalitas geopolitik yang meningkat dan keterbatasan domestik.

Middle-Power Development in a Fragmented World: Indonesia’s Development Strategy in 2025
type: item
description: Amid intensifying geopolitical fragmentation and great-power rivalry, middle-power countries face increasing challenges in balancing domestic development with strategic autonomy. This study examines Indonesia’s development strategy in 2025 through the concept of omni-directional engagement, focusing on industrial policy, ASEAN diplomacy, digital transformation, climate governance, and the Nusantara capital project. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review and policy analysis, the study integrates perspectives from dependency theory, constructivism, and development economics. The findings show that Indonesia has strengthened its role in global supply chains through downstream industrialization and diversified international partnerships. However, these gains are accompanied by structural challenges, including governance fragmentation, fiscal pressures, environmental risks, and uneven institutional capacity. The study argues that Indonesia’s ability to sustain development in a fragmented global order depends on stronger policy coordination, institutional reform, and balanced geopolitical engagement. The article contributes to broader debates on middle-power development strategies in the Global South.

Rethinking Scientific Authority in the Post-Truth Era: A Gadamerian Perspective
type: item
description: This article reexamines the crisis of scientific authority in the post-truth era through Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. It argues that the erosion of trust in science is not merely driven by misinformation, but by a deeper hermeneutical gap between scientific rationality and historically situated public understanding. Drawing on Gadamer’s concepts of prejudice (Vorurteil), tradition, and the fusion of horizons, the study employs a historical-critical library approach to analyze how Enlightenment objectivism contributed to the marginalization of tradition in knowledge formation. The findings suggest that scientific authority cannot rely solely on methodological objectivity, but must be grounded in dialogical recognition (Anerkennung) and interpretive engagement with societal contexts. By integrating insights from critical theory and contemporary post-truth discourse, this paper proposes a reconfiguration of scientific authority as reflexive, dialogical, and historically aware, offering a conceptual foundation for more inclusive science communication and hermeneutic-based education. Abstrak Artikel ini meninjau kembali krisis otoritas keilmuan di era post-truth melalui hermeneutika filosofis Hans-Georg Gadamer. Studi ini berargumen bahwa erosi kepercayaan terhadap ilmu pengetahuan tidak semata disebabkan oleh misinformasi, tetapi oleh kesenjangan hermeneutik antara rasionalitas ilmiah dan pemahaman publik yang bersifat historis. Dengan menggunakan konsep prasangka (Vorurteil), tradisi, dan peleburan cakrawala, penelitian ini menerapkan metode studi kepustakaan dengan pendekatan historis-kritis untuk menganalisis bagaimana objektivisme Pencerahan memarginalkan peran tradisi dalam pembentukan pengetahuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa otoritas keilmuan tidak dapat hanya bergantung pada objektivitas metodologis, tetapi perlu didasarkan pada pengakuan dialogis (Anerkennung) dan keterlibatan interpretatif dengan konteks sosial. Dengan mengintegrasika…

Controlling Salt Precipitation via Cyclic Low-Salinity Brine–CO₂ Injection in Depleted Gas Reservoirs
type: item
description: Salt precipitation during CO₂ injection into depleted gas reservoirs is a major cause of injectivity loss due to evaporation-driven crystallization of formation brine. This study experimentally evaluates a cyclic low-salinity brine–CO₂ injection strategy to control precipitation and preserve permeability. Core-flood experiments were conducted on Berea sandstone (120 mD, 22% porosity) under reservoir conditions (80°C, 150 bar). The cyclic protocol (0.2 PV low-salinity brine followed by 0.8 PV CO₂, five cycles) was compared with continuous CO₂ injection. Continuous injection caused severe permeability reduction (76±4%), whereas cyclic injection limited the loss to 17±5% (p < 0.01) and increased the CO₂ storage coefficient from 0.32 to 0.53. SEM analysis indicates that cyclic injection suppresses pore-bridging salt and promotes uniform micro-scale deposition. The results suggest that salt precipitation can be dynamically managed through injection design, improving both injectivity and storage efficiency without chemical additives. Abstrak Presipitasi garam selama injeksi CO₂ ke reservoir gas terdeplesi merupakan penyebab utama penurunan injektivitas akibat kristalisasi yang dipicu oleh evaporasi brine formasi. Studi ini mengevaluasi secara eksperimental strategi injeksi siklik brine salinitas rendah–CO₂ untuk mengendalikan presipitasi dan mempertahankan permeabilitas. Eksperimen core-flood dilakukan pada batupasir Berea (120 mD, porositas 22%) pada kondisi reservoir (80°C, 150 bar). Protokol siklik (0,2 PV brine salinitas rendah diikuti 0,8 PV CO₂ selama lima siklus) dibandingkan dengan injeksi CO₂ kontinu. Injeksi kontinu menyebabkan penurunan permeabilitas sebesar 76±4%, sedangkan metode siklik membatasi penurunan menjadi 17±5% (p < 0,01) serta meningkatkan koefisien penyimpanan CO₂ dari 0,32 menjadi 0,53. Analisis SEM menunjukkan bahwa metode siklik menghambat pembentukan jembatan garam dan menghasilkan distribusi mikro-kristal yang lebih merata. Hasil ini menunjukk…

description: The enactment of Law No. 20 of 2023 marks a significant shift in Indonesia’s civil service reform, particularly in strengthening legal accountability and bureaucratic integrity. This study employs a normative legal approach, combining statutory, conceptual, and case analyses to examine the legal responsibilities of civil servants in upholding integrity and discipline. The findings reveal that the core value “BerAKHLAK” has evolved from a moral principle into a legally binding standard that influences performance evaluations, career advancement, and administrative sanctions. The study also highlights persistent challenges, including inconsistent enforcement of disciplinary measures, weak regional oversight, and the influence of organizational culture and political dynamics on bureaucratic behavior. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of harmonizing legal norms with institutional practices to ensure effective implementation. Strengthening oversight mechanisms, legal clarity, and integrity-based governance is essential to achieving a professional, accountable, and politically neutral civil service system in Indonesia. Abstrak Pemberlakuan Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2023 menandai perubahan signifikan dalam reformasi aparatur sipil negara di Indonesia, khususnya dalam memperkuat akuntabilitas hukum dan integritas birokrasi.

Taking a Step Back to Look at Our Political System: Does a System of Democracy Actually Exist?
type: item
description: Democracy is often regarded as the most legitimate system of government, yet in practice many democratic states experience a decline in substantive democratic values. Indonesia, as one of the world’s largest democracies, faces similar challenges marked by elite domination, weakening of accountability institutions, and the suppression of political criticism. This study aims to analyze whether genuine democracy truly exists in Indonesia by examining the relevance of Robert Michels’ Iron Law of Oligarchy in explaining contemporary political conditions. The research employs a socio-legal method using historical, political, and legal approaches to understand democratic development and institutional practices in Indonesia. The findings show that political power is increasingly concentrated among elite groups through legal control, legislative domination, media concentration, and the criminalization of dissent. These conditions strongly support Michels’ argument that democratic systems inevitably tend toward oligarchic control, making democracy more procedural than substantive in practice. Abstrak Demokrasi sering dianggap sebagai sistem pemerintahan yang paling sah dan ideal, namun dalam praktiknya banyak negara demokratis mengalami kemunduran nilai-nilai demokrasi substantif. Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara demokrasi terbesar di dunia menghadapi tantangan serupa yang ditandai oleh dominasi elite, melemahnya lembaga pengawas, serta pembungkaman kritik politik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis apakah demokrasi yang sesungguhnya masih ada di Indonesia dengan mengkaji relevansi teori Iron Law of Oligarchy dari Robert Michels dalam menjelaskan kondisi politik kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode socio-legal dengan pendekatan historis, politik, dan hukum untuk memahami perkembangan demokrasi serta praktik kelembagaan di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kekuasaan politik semakin terkonsentrasi pada kelompok elite melalui kontrol hukum, domi…

Rethinking Self-Love: A Qur’anic Interpretation through Hamka’s Tafsir
type: item
description: This article aims to examine the concept of self-love from the perspective of Buya Hamka’s exegesis through his work Tafsir al-Azhar. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis method, this study explores Hamka’s interpretation of the verses Q.S. Al-Isra (17): 70, Q.S. Al-Baqarah (2): 286, Q.S. Az-Zumar (39): 53, Q.S. Ibrahim (14): 7, and Q.S. Al-Insyirah (94): 5–6. The findings indicate that Buya Hamka understands the teachings of the Qur’an as an invitation to love oneself proportionately, encompassing self-acceptance, patience, self-forgiveness, inner resilience, and spiritual awareness. Hamka’s interpretation demonstrates strong relevance to the concept of self-love in contemporary psychology, although he places greater emphasis on transcendence and moral responsibility. This article concludes that Hamka’s perspective functions not only as a religious exegesis but also as a psychological and moral guide for modern individuals seeking a balanced understanding of self-love. Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep self-love (cinta diri) dalam perspektif tafsir Buya Hamka melalui karyanya Tafsir al-Azhar. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode analisis isi (content analysis), penelitian ini menelusuri penafsiran Hamka atas ayat-ayat Q.S. Al-Isra ayat 70, Q.S. Al-Baqarah ayat 286, Q.S. Az-Zumar ayat 53, Q.S. Ibrahim ayat 7, dan Q.S. Al-Insyirah ayat 5–6. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Buya Hamka memaknai ajaran Al-Qur’an sebagai ajakan untuk mencintai diri secara proporsional, yang mencakup penerimaan diri, kesabaran, pengampunan diri, ketahanan batin, serta kesadaran spiritual. Tafsir Hamka terbukti memiliki relevansi yang tinggi dengan konsep self-love dalam psikologi kontemporer, meskipun Hamka memberikan penekanan lebih pada aspek transendensi dan tanggung jawab moral. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa pandangan Hamka tidak hanya berperan sebagai tafsir religius, tetapi juga sebagai panduan psikologis dan moral bagi manusia modern yan…

Cross-Asset Connectedness of Bitcoin, Gold, and Equity Markets: A Macroprudential Systematic Review (2018–2025)
type: item
description: This study aims to synthesize empirical evidence on spillovers and connectedness among Bitcoin, gold, and stock markets from a macroprudential perspective during the period 2018–2025. The research applies a narrative systematic review (NSR) approach by conducting a structured literature search in Scopus and Google Scholar, followed by screening, eligibility assessment, and thematic synthesis of relevant studies. From an initial pool of 62 articles, nine empirical studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The findings indicate that cross-asset connectedness is dynamic and tends to intensify during periods of market stress, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many global and advanced markets, Bitcoin often acts as a net transmitter of volatility spillovers, while gold generally exhibits lower connectedness and frequently functions as a diversifier or hedging asset. However, evidence from emerging markets remains mixed. This study contributes by providing a structured synthesis of recent empirical evidence and highlighting macroprudential implications for monitoring cross-asset risk transmission in increasingly integrated financial markets. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyintesis bukti empiris mengenai spillover dan connectedness antara Bitcoin, emas, dan pasar saham dari perspektif makroprudensial pada periode 2018–2025.

Dari total 62 artikel yang teridentifikasi, sembilan studi empiris memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan dianalisis lebih lanjut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa connectedness antar aset bersifat dinamis dan cenderung meningkat selama periode tekanan pasar, khususnya selama pandemi COVID-19. Di pasar global dan maju, Bitcoin sering berperan sebag…

Anxiety in the Viral Age: A Dialogical Integration of Contemporary Psychology and Islamic Psychology through the Concept of Nafs
type: item
description: The rising prevalence of anxiety in contemporary society is closely linked to the expansion of social media and viral culture, which generate persistent socio-digital pressures. This study analyzes anxiety in the viral era through a dialogical engagement between contemporary psychology and Islamic psychology, positioning the concept of nafs as an analytical framework. Using a qualitative conceptual-analytical design based on library research, the study draws on modern theories of anxiety, empirical findings on social media and mental health, and classical as well as contemporary Islamic scholarship. Data were examined through thematic and comparative-dialogical analysis to identify the characteristics of anxiety in digital contexts and to assess the relevance of nafs. The findings indicate that anxiety in the viral era is persistent and distributed, reflecting structural imbalance within the self and a crisis of meaning. This study proposes an integrative psychological framework that situates Islamic psychology as a dialogical and relevant perspective in contemporary mental health discourse.
