Governing traditional cultural expressions as artificial intelligence training data: Reconstructing communal consent and data transparency in Indonesia
The use of traditional cultural expressions as training data for generative artificial intelligence systems raises legal questions that individual copyright doctrine cannot adequately resolve. This study examines the legal status of traditional cultural expressions, the legitimacy of their use as training data, the position of source communities, and developers' transparency obligations under Indonesian law. It employs doctrinal legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings demonstrate that Indonesian law recognizes state stewardship, inventory obligations, commercial-use authorization, and benefit sharing but does not regulate the classification of model training, procedures for communal consent, source traceability, or legal remedies. This article proposes the Cultural Training Data Legality Test, integrating legal status, community provenance, lawful acquisition, layered consent, purpose limitation, cultural integrity, transparency, benefit sharing, and remedies. For high-risk commercial uses, state authorization and representative community consent should apply cumulatively, with transparency serving as a foundation for accountability. Abstrak Pemanfaatan ekspresi budaya tradisional sebagai data pelatihan bagi sistem kecerdasan artifisial generatif menimbulkan persoalan hukum yang belum dapat dijawab secara memadai oleh rezim hak cipta individual. Penelitian ini menganalisis status hukum ekspresi budaya tradisional, legalitas penggunaannya sebagai data pelatihan, kedudukan komunitas asal, serta kewajiban transparansi pengembang dalam hukum Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum doktrinal dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan perbandingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hukum Indonesia telah mengakui penguasaan negara, kewajiban inventarisasi, izin pemanfaatan komersial, dan pembagian manfaat, tetapi belum mengatur klasifikasi pelatihan model, prosedur persetujuan komunal, keterlacakan sumber, maupun mekanisme pemulihan hukum. Penelitian ini menawarkan Uji Legalitas Data Pelatihan Budaya yang mengintegrasikan status hukum, asal komunitas, legalitas perolehan, persetujuan berlapis, pembatasan tujuan, integritas budaya, transparansi, pembagian manfaat, dan mekanisme pemulihan. Untuk penggunaan komersial yang berisiko budaya tinggi, persetujuan negara dan komunitas perwakilan harus berlaku secara kumulatif, dengan transparansi berfungsi sebagai landasan akuntabilitas.

Rethinking conventional and Islamic economics: An integrated conceptual framework for addressing contemporary socio-economic challenges
Although the differences between conventional and Islamic economics have been widely examined, the conceptual relationships among paradigms, development goals, economic instruments, public policy, and responses to contemporary socio-economic challenges remain insufficiently integrated. This study comparatively examines how conventional and Islamic economics respond to contemporary socio-economic challenges by developing a systematic conceptual framework. It employs a qualitative approach using a conceptual paper design based on library research, with data analyzed through comparative qualitative analysis and thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate that the differing responses of the two economic systems originate from their underlying paradigms, which shape development goals, economic instruments, and public policy orientations. Conventional economics emphasizes market efficiency and economic growth, whereas Islamic economics integrates economic efficiency with distributive justice, social responsibility, and ethical values. This study contributes by proposing an integrated conceptual framework that clarifies the interrelationships among these dimensions in explaining how both economic systems respond to contemporary socio-economic challenges. Abstrak Perbedaan paradigma antara ekonomi konvensional dan ekonomi Islam telah banyak dikaji. Namun, hubungan konseptual antara paradigma, tujuan pembangunan, instrumen ekonomi, kebijakan publik, dan respons terhadap tantangan sosial-ekonomi kontemporer masih belum dijelaskan secara terpadu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komparatif respons ekonomi konvensional dan ekonomi Islam terhadap tantangan sosial-ekonomi kontemporer melalui pengembangan kerangka konseptual yang sistematis. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain conceptual paper berbasis library research, yang dianalisis melalui comparative qualitative analysis dan thematic analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan respons kedua sistem ekonomi berakar pada paradigma yang membentuk tujuan pembangunan, instrumen ekonomi, dan arah kebijakan publik. Ekonomi konvensional menitikberatkan efisiensi pasar dan pertumbuhan ekonomi, sedangkan ekonomi Islam mengintegrasikan efisiensi ekonomi dengan keadilan distributif, tanggung jawab sosial, dan nilai-nilai etika. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi melalui pengembangan kerangka konseptual terpadu yang memperjelas hubungan antarkomponen dalam menjelaskan respons kedua sistem ekonomi terhadap tantangan sosial-ekonomi kontemporer.

Triadic convergence of Iman, Islam, and Ihsan for building an ethical digital society in the era of Artificial Intelligence
The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increased the complexity of digital communication, yet existing studies predominantly emphasize technological governance rather than strengthening human spiritual agency as the primary controller of human–AI interaction. This study aims to formulate a Triadic Convergence model integrating the dimensions of Iman, Islam, and Ihsan to construct the characteristics of the Digital Insan Kamil as the controller of digital society. This study employed a qualitative library research approach using conceptual analysis of Islamic theology, digital communication, and Artificial Intelligence literature through an interactive analytical model. The findings demonstrate that Iman functions as an epistemological foundation through Tabayyun, Islam provides normative guidance based on Maqasid al-Shariah, and Ihsan establishes an ethical foundation through Muraqabah. The integration of these three dimensions produces the Digital Insan Kamil model, positioning humans as moral agents who direct AI utilization. This model enriches communication theology studies while offering a new paradigm for developing an ethical digital society. Abstrak Perkembangan Artificial Intelligence (AI) telah meningkatkan kompleksitas komunikasi digital. Namun, kajian yang ada masih lebih berfokus pada regulasi teknologi daripada penguatan agensi spiritual manusia sebagai pengendali utama dalam interaksi manusia–AI. Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan model Triadic Convergence yang mengintegrasikan dimensi Iman, Islam, dan Ihsan untuk membangun karakteristik Digital Insan Kamil sebagai pengendali masyarakat digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain library research melalui analisis konseptual terhadap literatur mengenai teologi Islam, komunikasi digital, dan Artificial Intelligence menggunakan model analisis interaktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi Iman berfungsi sebagai landasan epistemologis melalui Tabayyun, dimensi Islam memberikan pedoman normatif berdasarkan Maqasid al-Shariah, sedangkan dimensi Ihsan membangun fondasi etika melalui Muraqabah. Integrasi ketiga dimensi tersebut menghasilkan model Digital Insan Kamil yang menempatkan manusia sebagai subjek moral dalam mengarahkan pemanfaatan AI. Model ini memperkaya kajian teologi komunikasi sekaligus menawarkan paradigma baru bagi pengembangan masyarakat digital yang beretika.

Toward the dehumanization of Islamic Education teachers: A conceptual synthesis of workload complexity in the Merdeka Curriculum
The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has increased teachers' workload through expanding administrative demands, yet previous studies have examined teacher workload, role strain, and dehumanization separately, leaving the underlying mechanism, particularly for Islamic Education (PAI) teachers, insufficiently explained. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of PAI teachers' dehumanization by examining the relationship between educational regulations, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, the professional characteristics of PAI teachers, and the resulting professional consequences. This study employed a library research approach using a conceptual synthesis method based on educational regulations, policy documents, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings reveal that the dehumanization of PAI teachers is not merely a consequence of increasing administrative responsibilities but results from the interaction among expanding regulations, transformed professional responsibilities, and the multidimensional pedagogical, moral, and spiritual roles of PAI teachers. This study contributes a conceptual model explaining the mechanism of teacher dehumanization as a foundation for developing a more humanistic implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Abstrak Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka meningkatkan kompleksitas beban kerja guru melalui perluasan tuntutan administratif, namun kajian sebelumnya masih membahas beban kerja, konflik peran, dan dehumanisasi guru secara terpisah sehingga mekanisme hubungan antarfenomena tersebut, khususnya pada guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI), belum dijelaskan secara komprehensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis mekanisme dehumanisasi guru PAI melalui hubungan antara regulasi pendidikan, implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka, karakteristik profesi guru, dan konsekuensi profesional yang ditimbulkannya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan library research dengan metode sintesis konseptual melalui analisis regulasi, dokumen kebijakan, dan literatur ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dehumanisasi guru PAI bukan semata-mata disebabkan oleh meningkatnya administrasi pembelajaran, tetapi merupakan konsekuensi dari interaksi antara perluasan regulasi, transformasi pekerjaan guru, dan kompleksitas peran pedagogis, moral, serta spiritual. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dengan menawarkan model konseptual yang menjelaskan mekanisme dehumanisasi guru PAI sebagai dasar evaluasi implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka yang lebih humanis.

Towards stronger paving blocks: The combined effects of cement–sand mix proportion and geometry on compressive strength
The compressive strength of paving blocks is influenced not only by mix proportion but also by geometric configuration, yet comparative studies addressing both factors using local materials remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the effects of cement–sand mix proportion and paving block geometry on compressive strength. A quantitative experimental approach was employed through laboratory testing of two paving block types (Paving Stone and Eskoosix) using four cement–sand mix proportions (1:2, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5) following SNI 03-1745-2000. The results showed that the 1:2 mix proportion produced the highest compressive strength, reaching 403.13 kg/cm² for Paving Stone and 401.84 kg/cm² for Eskoosix, whereas the 1:5 mix proportion yielded the lowest values. In addition, Paving Stone consistently exhibited higher compressive strength than Eskoosix. The findings demonstrate that mix proportion is the primary factor governing compressive strength, while paving block geometry contributes to optimizing stress distribution, providing a practical reference for developing local-material-based paving blocks. Abstrak Perbedaan kuat tekan paving block tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh komposisi campuran, tetapi juga oleh bentuk geometrinya, sementara kajian yang membandingkan kedua faktor tersebut pada paving block berbasis material lokal masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh variasi komposisi semen-pasir dan bentuk paving block terhadap kuat tekan. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan eksperimental melalui pengujian laboratorium terhadap dua tipe paving block (Paving Stone dan Eskoosix) dengan empat variasi campuran semen-pasir (1:2, 1:3, 1:4, dan 1:5) sesuai SNI 03-1745-2000. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa campuran 1:2 menghasilkan kuat tekan tertinggi, yaitu 403,13 kg/cm² pada tipe Paving Stone dan 401,84 kg/cm² pada tipe Eskoosix, sedangkan campuran 1:5 menghasilkan nilai terendah. Selain itu, tipe Paving Stone secara konsisten menunjukkan kuat tekan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan tipe Eskoosix. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa komposisi campuran merupakan faktor dominan, sedangkan geometri paving block berperan dalam mengoptimalkan distribusi tegangan sehingga dapat menjadi acuan pengembangan paving block berbasis material lokal.

Accounting, power, and emancipation: A systematic literature review of critical accounting perspectives
Accounting is increasingly viewed not merely as a technical reporting mechanism but as a social practice shaped by power relations and ideological interests. This study aims to analyze the critical accounting paradigm as an emancipatory instrument in contemporary accounting practice. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using an interpretative approach to examine ten scholarly articles obtained from reputable databases. The findings indicate that critical accounting challenges the assumption of neutrality in accounting by highlighting its role in constructing, legitimizing, and contesting social realities. The literature reveals three major themes: power relations embedded in accounting practices, emancipatory efforts through alternative and participatory forms of accountability, and epistemological reflection on the production of accounting knowledge. This study contributes to the development of critical accounting discourse by demonstrating how accounting can move beyond technical and compliance-oriented functions toward a more ethical, reflective, and socially transformative practice that promotes justice, sustainability, and epistemic pluralism. Abstrak Akuntansi semakin dipahami tidak hanya sebagai mekanisme pelaporan teknis, tetapi juga sebagai praktik sosial yang dibentuk oleh relasi kekuasaan dan kepentingan ideologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis paradigma akuntansi kritis sebagai instrumen emansipatoris dalam praktik akuntansi kontemporer. Penelitian menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan pendekatan interpretatif terhadap sepuluh artikel ilmiah yang diperoleh dari basis data bereputasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akuntansi kritis menolak asumsi netralitas akuntansi dengan menyoroti perannya dalam membentuk, melegitimasi, dan menantang realitas sosial. Literatur yang dikaji mengungkap tiga tema utama, yaitu relasi kekuasaan dalam praktik akuntansi, upaya emansipatoris melalui bentuk akuntabilitas yang partisipatif dan alternatif, serta refleksi epistemologis mengenai konstruksi pengetahuan akuntansi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan wacana akuntansi kritis dengan menunjukkan bahwa akuntansi dapat melampaui fungsi teknis dan kepatuhan menuju praktik yang lebih etis, reflektif, dan transformatif guna mendukung keadilan sosial, keberlanjutan, dan pluralisme epistemik.
