Полемика с католицизмом в церковной периодической печати в западнорусском регионе Российской империи (1905–1909 гг.)
Authors: Бабак К.С. , Липовецкий П.Е.
Published: February 2025

Западнорусский регион являлся местом столкновений как на национальной, так и на конфессиональной почве. Противостояние было вызвано прозелитическими действиями римо-католиков, униатов и насаждением польского национализма. После относительно спокойного времени жизни Православной Церкви в Западном крае Российской империи в силу вступил манифест от 17 апреля 1905 г. «Об укреплении начал веротерпимости». Прозелитизм римо-католиков и национализм поляков набирали обороты. Это выражалось в бесконтрольных массовых переходах из православия в католицизм, притеснении русского населения, порицании православного вероучения, русской народности, многовековой истории Православной Церкви в западнорусском регионе. В данной статье предпринята попытка осветить полемику православия с католицизмом на страницах православной церковной периодической печати с 1905 по 1909 гг., проанализировать особенности полемических материалов православной периодической печати западнорусского региона, направленных против католицизма, а также ознакомиться с отношением православных авторов к фактам прозелитизма и радикальным проявлениям польского национализма. Обращение к церковной периодической печати способствовало более глубокому осмыслению конфессиональной проблематики западнорусского региона Российской империи.

The Western Russian region was a place of clashes on both national and confessional grounds. The confrontation was caused by the proselytizing actions of Roman Catholics, Uniates and the imposition of Polish nationalism. After a relatively quiet time in the life of the Orthodox Church in the Western Territory of the Russian Empire, the manifesto of April 17, 1905 “On strengthening the principles of religious tolerance” came into force. Roman Catholic proselytism and Polish nationalism were gaining momentum. Russian Russians expressed themselves in uncontrolled mass conversions from Orthodoxy to Catholicism, the oppression of the Russian population, the condemnation of the Orthodox faith, the Russian nationality, and the centuries-old history of the Orthodox Church in the Western Russian region. This article attempts to highlight the polemic of Orthodoxy with Catholicism on the pages of the Orthodox Church periodical press from 1905 to 1909, to analyze the features of the polemical materials of the Orthodox periodical press of the Western Russian region directed against Catholicism, as well as to get acquainted with the attitude of Orthodox authors to the facts of proselytism and radical manifestations of Polish nationalism. The appeal to the church periodical press contributed to a deeper understanding of the confessional issues of the Western Russian region of the Russian Empire.
Политическая позиция архиепископа Оренбургского и Тургайского Мефодия (Герасимова) в 1917–1919 гг.
Authors: Астахов И.Э.
Published: February 2025

Позиция Православной Российской Церкви в период революционных событий и Гражданской войны вызывает особой интерес современных исследователей. Сегодня многие сюжеты, связанные с данной тематикой, активно изучаются. В этой связи особенно важна деятельность правящих архиереев епархий, оказавшихся в эпицентре боевых действий. Одним из них был архиепископ Оренбургский и Тургайский Мефодий (Герасимов), на территории епархии которого располагалось Оренбургское казачье войско. Политическая позиция этого архипастыря в период революции и Гражданской войны еще не становились предметом отдельного исследования в историографии. Взгляды преосвященного, выраженные в его выступлениях, указах и статьях, публиковались на страницах «Оренбургского церковно-общественного вестника». Многие из этих текстов вводятся в научный оборот впервые. На их основе автор реконструирует политическую позицию архиеп. Мефодия и приходит к выводу о том, что иерарх был одним из главных лидеров антибольшевистского движения Южного Урала.

The position of the Orthodox Russian Church during the revolutionary events and the Civil War is of particular interest to modern researchers. Today, many stories related to this subject are being actively studied. In this regard, the activities of the ruling hierarchs of the dioceses whose territories were in the epicentre of military action are of particular importance. One of these hierarchs was archbishop Mefodius (Gerasimov) of Orenburg and Turgai, whose diocese was home to the Orenburg Cossack Army. His political stance during the Revolution and the Civil War has not been the subject of an independent study in historiography so far. His Eminence’s views expressed in his speeches, decrees and articles were published in the “Orenburg Church and Society Bulletin”. Many of these texts are introduced into the scientific circulation for the first time and are the basis for reconstruction of archbishop Methodius’ political stance as well as for the conclusion that the hierarch was one of the main leaders of the anti-Bolshevik movement in the South Urals.

Authors: Шкаровский М.В. , Костромин К.А.
Published: February 2025

Одним из самых известных православных эстонских пастырей России в XX в. был протоиерей Александр Викентьевич Пакляр, 30 лет служивший в русско-эстонском приходе Северной столицы, больше половины из которых был его настоятелем. Отец Александр также активно занимался преподавательской деятельностью, в 1920‑е гг. был заведующим Богословско-пастырских курсов. Он трижды подвергался арестам и в конце концов был расстрелян в 1938 г. Статья написана на основе архивных документов.

Alexander was also actively engaged in teaching and was the head of Theological and Pastoral Courses in the 1920s. He was arrested three times and, in the end, was shot in 1938. The article was written on the basis of archival documents.
Церковь и советские органы государственной безопасности во время Ленинградской битвы (1941–1944 гг.)
Authors: Ковалёв Б.Н.
Published: February 2025

Нападение нацистской Германии и ее союзников на Советский Союз показало руководству СССР, что перед угрозой внешнего врага требуется максимальная консолидация всех сил. Однако на протяжении всей Великой Отечественной войны советские органы государственной безопасности относились к священнослужителям и простым верующим как к потенциальным противникам. Они находились под постоянным контролем. Основной задачей «по церковно-сектантской линии» считалось «приобретение ценной агентуры, способной повести работу по выявлению организованной антисоветской деятельности и агентуры иностранных разведок среди церковников и сектантов». Особый интерес для чекистов представляли священники, которые оказались на оккупированной гитлеровцами территории Ленинградской области. Однако патриотическая миссия Русской Православной Церкви и почти полное отсутствие атеистической пропаганды в эти годы способствовали тому, что религия не воспринималась большинством населения страны как нечто чуждое и вредное. Осознавали это и многие чекисты. «Работа» «по церковной линии» многим из них казалась чем-то совершенно ненужным и даже вредным. Но соответствующие отделы в КГБ СССР были ликвидированы только в 1955 г.

The attack of Nazi Germany and its allies against the Soviet Union showed the USSR leaders that facing the threat of an external enemy required maximum consolidation of all forces. However, throughout the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet state security agencies treated the clergy and religious people as potential adversaries, keeping them under constant control. The main goal “following the church-sectarian line” was “recruiting valuable agents capable of uncovering organized anti-Soviet activists and foreign intelligence agents among churchmen and sectarians.” Of particular interest to security officers (Chekists) were the priests who happened to be on the territory of the Leningrad region occupied by Hitler’s soldiers. However, the patriotic mission of the Russian Orthodox Church and the almost complete lack of atheistic propaganda in that period contributed to the fact that the majority of the USSR population did not perceive religion as something alien and harmful. A lot of Chekists realized that too. Many of them believed “work” “following the church lines” to be something completely needless and even harmful. But the concerned departments of the Soviet KGB were eliminated only in 1955.
Визит патриарха Антиохийского и всего Востока Александра III (Тахана) в СССР в 1954 году
Authors: Гошев М.Е.
Published: February 2025

В статье на основании опубликованных и неопубликованных архивных материалов рассматриваются обстоятельства посещения Советского Союза патриархом Антиохийским Александром III (Таханом) и делегацией Антиохийской Церкви в 1954 г. Получая существенную финансовую поддержку из Москвы, патриарх Александр вел двойную игру, обсуждая с Константинопольским патриархом Афинагором (Спиру) возможное сотрудничество и принимая деньги от Америки. При этом у советской власти имелся сугубый интерес к антиохийскому первоиерарху, поскольку через него можно было влиять на других восточных патриархов с целью противодействовать расширению влияния США и Великобритании. Впечатления от поездки в СССР убедили главу антиохийского православия и его спутников в свободе Церкви в России, о чем они намеревались свидетельствовать по возвращении на Родину.

Based on archival and non-archival materials, the article studies the circumstances of the visit to the Soviet Union by Patriarch Alexander III (Tahan) of Antioch and by the Church of Antioch delegation in 1954. Receiving substantial financial support from Moscow, Patriarch Alexander played a double game, discussing possible cooperation with Patriarch Athenagoras (Spirou) of Constantinople and accepting money from America. At the same time, the Soviet government had a special interest in the Antiochian First Hierarch, since through him, it was possible to influence other Eastern patriarchs to counteract the expansion of US and British influence. The impressions of the trip to the USSR convinced the Head of Antiochian Orthodoxy and his companions of the freedom the Russia Church had in Russia, and they intended to testify about it on returning home.
Проблемы традиционной христологии и их решение в христологии Карла Барта
Authors: Чернявский А.Л.
Published: February 2025

Исследования святоотеческой литературы первых столетий показали, что Вселенские Соборы, не допустив искажения христианской вести, тем не менее не рассмотрели по существу те трудности, которые были созданы Халкидонским определением и стали предметом последующих христологических споров. В результате проблемы, которые в традиционном (классическом) богословии считались давно решенными, вновь предстали во всей своей сложности. А в последние 150 лет новые трудности для христианского богословия возникли в ходе научного изучения текстов Нового Завета. В статье дается перечень этих проблем и показано, что модификация Халкидонского определения, предложенная Карлом Бартом, позволяет их решить.

Studies of the patristic literature of the first centuries have shown that while not allowing distortion of the Christian message, the ecumenical councils did not essentially consider the difficulties created by the Chalcedonian definition and turned into the subject of subsequent Christological controversy. As a result, the problems considered to have been solved in traditional (classical) theology long ago reappeared in all their complexity. And new difficulties for Christian theology were generated by the New Testament scholarship over the past 150 years. The article lists these problems and shows that the modification of the Chalcedonian definition proposed by Karl Barth allows them to be solved.
Хождение Христа по водам: структурно-филологический и историко-археологический аспекты
Authors: Юревич Д.В.
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматриваются два экзегетических вопроса, связанные с историей хождения Христа по водам: повествуют ли синоптические Евангелия (Мф 14:22–34; Мк 6:45–53) и Евангелие от Иоанна (Ин 6:15–24) об одном и том же событии, и как объяснить различия в указаниях евангелистами маршрута движения лодки? На основе метода структурного анализа можно сделать вывод о единстве описанной истории. Изучение филологического аспекта позволяет предложить вариант перевода сложных для понимания текстов Мк 6:45 и Ин 6:1, согласующий указание евангелистов на Вифсаиду как на пункт отправления. Привлечение исторических сведений и результатов археологических раскопок (в том числе последнего десятилетия) дает основание идентифицировать Вифсаиду как Эль Арадж, пункт прибытия Капернаум — как Телль Хум. В результате возможно графически отобразить примерный маршрут движения лодки.

The article examines two exegetical questions related to the story of Christ’s walking on the waters: do the Synoptic Gospels (Mt 14:22–34; Mk 6:45–53) and the Gospel of John (Jn 6:15–24) tell about the same event, and how to explain the differences in the evangelists’ directions of the boat route? Based on the method of structural analysis, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the unity of the described history. The study of the philological aspect allows us to propose a translation option for the difficult-to-understand texts of Mk 6:45 and John 6:1, which agrees with the evangelists’ reference to Bethsaida as the point of departure. The attraction of historical information and the results of archaeological excavations (including those of the last decade) gives reason to identify Bethsaida as El Araj, the point of arrival of Capernaum as Tell Hum. As a result, it is possible to graphically display the approximate route of the boat.
Влияние богословского феномена гноми (γνώμη) на принятие решений при переводе или редактировании текста перевода Священного Писания на китайский язык
Authors: Гольдман А.П.
Published: February 2025

Статья посвящена феномену гноми (γνώμη) и его проявлению в процессе перевода или редактирования текстов, переводимых на китайский язык. Феномен гноми тесно связан с проблемой субъективности принимаемых переводческих решений и вносимых редакторских исправлений. Данный вопрос весьма серьезен, поскольку переводческое решение не может считаться оправданным, если не достигнута определенная степень объективности и беспристрастности. Рассмотрение вопроса с богословских позиций позволяет открыть еще один аспект, который помогает более полно раскрыть данную проблему и вывести на сознательный уровень наличие гноми как у переводчика, так и у редактора, а также читателя. В противном случае итоговый текст перевода может не достигнуть изначально поставленных целей. Осознанный же учет влияния гноми, предположительно, позволит повысить успешную рецепцию текста целевой аудиторией, что крайне важно при создании нового православного перевода Священного Писания на китайский язык.

The article discusses the “gnomi” (γνώμη) phenomenon and its effect when translating texts into the Chinese language or editing those translated into Chinese. This phenomenon is closely connected to the issue of subjectivity of translation decisions and editorial revisions being made. This issue is rather serious as the translation decision cannot be justified without achieving a certain level of objectivity and impartiality. Putting this issue in the theological perspective makes it possible to explore one more aspect of this issue, which helps reveal this problem more fully and bring the gnomi of the translator, editor, and reader to a conscious level. Without this, the final translation of the text may fail to meet the original goals. Taking this factor into account consciously is supposed to increase the successful reception of a translated text by the target audience, which is really crucial when making a new Orthodox translation of the Holy Scripture into the Chinese language.
Динамика понимания смыслов Священного Писания в переводах гебраизмов Нового Завета на китайский язык
Authors: Пилатс Я.Л.
Published: February 2025

В статье раскрываются некоторые аспекты изменения понимания смыслов Священного Писания в связи с переводами на китайский язык гебраизмов Нового Завета. Цель данной статьи — рассмотреть специфику переводов гебраизмов на китайский язык. В результате исследования нами предложена классификация, позволяющая все гебраизмы разделить на три группы: 1) фонетическая, передающая звучание, но не имеющая заранее предусмотренной переводчиком смысловой нагрузки, 2) фонетическо-смысловая, то есть это иероглифы, передающие как фонетическое, так и смысловое значение, 3) группа смысловых гебраизмов, которые в китайском тексте Нового Завета утратили звуковую передачу слова, но передают смысл. Анализируемые нами гебраизмы рассматриваются не только с точки зрения филологии, языкознания, философии, семантики, но и в контексте культурологии, открывая в том или ином слове определенный культурологический смысл. Актуальность статьи связана с процессами сближения дальневосточной и российско-европейской культур, которые наблюдаются уже более века и становятся предметом исследования в последние десятилетия. Однако до сих пор при переводах библеизмов на китайский язык возникают проблемы.

The article reveals some aspects of changing the understanding of the meanings of the Holy Scripture in connection with translations of New Testament Hebraisms into Chinese. The purpose of the article is to consider specifics of hebraism translations into Chinese. The research has resulted in a classification that allows all hebraisms to be divided into three groups: 1) a phonetic group associated with sounding hebraisms having no semantics loaded on them in advance by the translator, 2) a phonetic-semantic group including hieroglyphs associated with both phonetic and semantic meanings, 3) a group of semantic hebraisms that lost their sounding in the Chinese text of the New Testament, but convey the meaning. The hebraisms analyzed are studied not only in the perspective of philology, linguistics, philosophy and semantics, but also in the context of culturology, revealing a certain cultural meaning in a particular word. The relevance of the article is connected with the rapprochement processes of the Far Eastern and Russian-European cultures, which have been observed for more than a century and have become the subject of research in recent decades. However, there are still problems with biblical texts translation into Chinese.
Mulher, Ciência e sociedade: a perspectiva semiótica da imagem feminina nos livros didáticos de Ciências
Authors: Souza Rayanne Carneiro de , Almeida Alisandra Cavalcante Fernandes de , Araújo Adéle Cristina Braga
Published: February 2025

Neste estudo, foi realizado o estado da arte mapeando as produções acadêmicas de 2018 a 2024 sobre a representatividade feminina em livros didáticos de Ciências, usando fontes, como Google Acadêmico, Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO) e Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física. O objetivo foi avaliar as mudanças ou a estagnação da imagem da mulher em materiais didáticos de Ciências. Ademais, na análise em gravuras de livros dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental de quatro coleções do Plano Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) de 2024, utilizou-se a semiótica peirceana para examiná-las. Optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, de cunho exploratório, pois a invisibilidade da mulher em manuais de Ciências ainda é pouco explorada na educação. Os estudos mostram a evolução da imagem feminina em manuais didáticos de Ciências ao longo dos anos. Apesar disso, ainda há representações veladas do papel feminino, refletindo a persistência de uma sociedade patriarcal nas produções educacionais.
Decoding Market Signals: How Generation Z Investors in Indonesia Make Investment Decisions
Authors: Ambarwati Retnoning , Yoga Ika
Published: February 2025

Research Aims:  This study examines the impact of overconfidence and risk perception on investment decision-making among Generation Z investors in Indonesia, using Signalling Theory to understand how they interpret market signals and make financial decisions
Design/methodology/approach: This quantitative study adopts an explanatory research approach with purposive sampling of 300 active Generation Z investors in the Jakarta Stock Exchange (IDX). Data is collected via an online questionnaire and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with AMOS to assess causal relationships.
Research Findings:  The study finds that overconfidence has a significant positive effect on investment decision-making, indicating that Generation Z investors who overestimate their financial knowledge tend to engage in riskier and more frequent trading activities. Conversely, risk perception has a significant negative effect on investment decision-making, suggesting that investors who perceive higher risks are more likely to adopt cautious and conservative investment strategies. Additionally, the combined influence of overconfidence and risk perception highlights the interplay between psychological biases and rational risk assessments, reinforcing the role of Signalling Theory in explaining how market information and digital influences shape Gen Z investors' financial behaviours.
Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study extends Signalling Theory by highlighting how digital finance platforms and social media influence Gen Z investors' decision-making. It provides empirical insights into behavioural finance in emerging markets, particularly among young retail investors.
Women’s Power in Boosting Corporate Sustainability of Performance and Investment Through Good Corporate Governance
Authors: Damayanti Krisna , Soewarno Noorlailie
Published: February 2025

Purposes: This study explores the positive role of women’s participation in good corporate management arrangements in Indonesia, significantly enhancing corporate performance and support long-term investment decisions in companies.
 
Design / Methodology / Approach: This research uses quantitative methods, with secondary data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange, using multiple linear regression models with previous studies drawn from Q1 and Q2 journals.
 
Findings: The involvement of women as corporate secretaries, as members of boards of directors and boards of commissioners, serving on audit committees and at general meetings of shareholders simultaneously positively and significantly improves corporate performance and investment decisions. Women serving as corporate secretaries and at general meetings of shareholders have a positive and significant influence on corporate performance. Women serving on audit committees have a positive but insignificant influence on corporate performance. Women serving on boards of directors have a positive and significant effect on EPS, and their presence on boards of commissioners has a positive and significant effect on ROA. Women serving on boards of directors and at general meetings of shareholders have a positive and significant effect on investment decisions. In contrast, women as corporate secretaries, members of boards of commissioners and audit committees have a positive but insignificant influence.
 
Research Limitations/Implications: This research was conducted when the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning in Indonesia. Thus the data collection took place over a long period as Work From Home restrictions were implemented.
 
Practical Implications: If companies have confidence and trust in women, women will be capable of contributing optimally to adding value to the company.
 
Social Implications: This study champions the dignity, recognition, respect for, and high intellectual achievements of women in Indonesia, especially at the professional level.
 
Originality / Value: This study considered how women contributing positively affects corporate performance and company investment decisions. The findings of many previous studies have been inconsistent concerning women's positive contributions to corporate performance and have yet to argue that the contributions are positive.

Authors: Villalobos-Antúnez Jose Vicente , Ramírez-Molina Reynier Israel , Severino-González Pedro , Martín-Fiorino Victor , Ávila-Hernández Flor María , Caldera-Ynfante Jesús Enrique
Published: February 2025

Objective: To analyze the bioethical perspective of economic development based on the intervention of knowledge in economic productivity, with the purpose of inserting the analysis into the postulates of SDG 12 in view of techno-business practices.
 
Theoretical Framework: Study interprets techno-business practices from ethical concepts around the economy, deduced from SDG 12, considering the arguments of business bioethics. These are implied from the techno-entrepreneurial contexts that the theory defines as internal, external and of intermediation.
 
Method: An interpretation is elaborated by phenomenological-hermeneutical methodology applying the postulates of M. Heidegger (2002): 1) Starting point of the Interpretation (bioethics of techno-business since SDG 12); 2) Direction of interpretation (contexts of technobusiness and business bioethics), and 3) Horizon of interpretation (Bioethics of technobusiness economics in SDG 12). Punto de mira
 
Results and Discussion: A direct relationship is established between techno-business, ethics and action limits from SDG 12. Ethical/philosophical links were also established between the internal/external contexts of technobusiness, SDG 12 and global bioethics. It is concluded that bioethics in the SDG 12 perspective calls to the techno-entrepreneurial economy with viewing in bioethical values involved in SDG 12.
 
Research Implications: The study clarifies the implications of bioethics in the economy from technology companies. It transcends the ethical contexts on which SDG 12 is founded. It is necessary to broaden the analysis to the intermediation contexts of technology companies in order to clarify bioethics in its global context in the digital era.
 
Originality/Value: Study contributes to the philosophical discourse of bioethics in economy by providing arguments for understanding beyond biomedical bioethics.

Authors: Pacheco Angela Portugal , Larrea Glenn Arce , Castañeda Carlos Eduardo Maldonado , Mejía Wendy Ugarte
Published: February 2025

Objective: This research aims to analyze the predominant lifestyles in the Arequipa region and their influence on regional sustainability. It seeks to understand how these styles impact the homeostasis and metabolization of the territory, and how they can be aligned with the sustainable consumption and production modalities promoted by Sustainable Development Goal 12, promoting development that respects planetary boundaries and focuses on social equity.
 
Theoretical framework: The conceptual framework of the research is based on Complexity Sciences, which integrate social, economic and environmental perspectives. The behavioral patterns entrenched in the economic model of homo economicus and its role in the current systemic crisis are analyzed. In addition, Bioeconomy is used as an approach to propose regenerative strategies that prioritize quality of life and ecological sustainability.
 
Method: The methodological design adopts a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach, which includes bibliographic review, analysis of secondary data and critical observation. This method allows to explore the complex dynamics between lifestyles, economic structures and ecological capacities of Arequipa, identifying sustainable alternatives based on Bioeconomy and systemic regeneration.
 
Results and discussion: The research reveals that lifestyles in Arequipa present unsustainable patterns of consumption and production, which contribute to the environmental and social degradation of the region. However, opportunities are identified to implement regenerative policies based on Bioeconomy and the principles of Complexity Sciences. These strategies would allow to promote sustainable development that reconciles the economic, social and environmental dimensions.
 
Implications of the research: The study provides a comprehensive framework for the design of public policies aimed at sustainable development. By addressing the interconnection between social and natural systems, the research offers practical solutions to transform Arequipa into a resilient region, with high quality of life and sustainable practices.
 
Originality/value: The research provides an innovative approach by combining Bioeconomy with Complexity Sciences, proposing a non-linear methodology that redefines traditional development paradigms. This approach encourages the appreciation of life from a systemic perspective, promoting ecological and social regeneration as pillars of sustainable development in Arequipa.
Challenges of the Narcotics Correctional Institution in Fostering Drug Prisoners
Authors: Novarizal Riky , Hasan Mohd Syaiful Nizam Abu
Published: February 2025

Objective: Exploration of complex challenges in drug prisoner rehabilitation, largely overlooked in criminology. Examination of forms, contributing factors, and implications aims to enhance correctional guidance for drug offenders.
 
Theoretical Framework: M Redik Dahirsan, (2021) said that the correctional institution functions as a place for inmate development so that inmates can improve themselves towards a better direction, and can comply with legal values, ethics, and morality in the correctional process again.
 
Method: Descriptive qualitative research using a criminological approach relies on primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through observation and structured and unstructured interviews with correctional officers and drug convicts at Class IIB Rumbai Correctional Institution.
 
Result and Discussion: This study identifies three key challenges in rehabilitating drug prisoners. First, correctional programs focus solely on mental, spiritual, and skills development. Second, limitations in personnel, infrastructure, and coaching time hinder rehabilitation. Third, inadequate programs lead to high recidivism, with many inmates returning to drug use or becoming dealers.
 
Research Implication: Contribution to legal and criminological research while evaluating the state's and institutions' commitment to improving drug prisoner rehabilitation.
 
Value: Criminological evaluation of challenges in drug prisoner rehabilitation, highlighting how institutional limitations lead to failed guidance and contradictory inmate behaviors. Qualitative methods, including interviews and observations at Class IIB Rumbai Correctional Institution, provide firsthand insights into these obstacles.

Objective: This work proposed a comprehensive techno-economic analysis and optimization of renewable energy systems focusing on PV technology within UNNES conservation park area.
 
Theoretical Framework: The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) in campus settings contributes to reducing carbon footprints and serves as a practical educational medium. In this case, the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) software can be utilized to research the optimal configurations.
 
Method: This work utilizes a load profile based on the electricity demands of commercial and industrial networks within the HOMER software. In addition, the solar daily radiation with clearness index and temperature for the selected location was derived from the Solar Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) profiles.
 
Results and Discussion: The most optimized system configuration consists of a 1,376 kW Flat-plate PV, 822 kW system converter, and grid utility to handle load profile characteristics for electricity consumption with an entire daily usage of 24,165.44 kWh and peak demands reaching 1,853.66 kW. The net present cost (NPC) is calculated to be $13,213,250, with the $0.0891/kWh cost of energy (CoE). In addition, the renewable energy fraction is achieved by 21.4-23.9% and generates 2,184,625 kWh annually from solar PV string.
 
Research Implications: This research provides insights into how educational institutions can contribute to the energy transition by integrating RES.
 
Originality/Value: The study was conducted at the UNNES conservation park area and has a prospect to realize because this institution formally declared itself a Conservation University, which involves safeguarding, protecting, preserving, and wisely utilizing natural resources.

Research Implications: The theoretical implication of this study is to support the results of previous studies stating that social media marketing, brand image and product quality have a positive correlation with purchasing decisions in online stores. The practical implication of this study is to increase consumer buying interest; online shops should implement social media marketing and product quality and create a good brand image.
Originality/Value: The novelty of this research is the formation of a new correlation model between social media marketing variables, brand image and product quality with purchasing decisions in online stores during the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: This paper aimed to provide better support and promote sustainability intercultural harmony and religion in a religious society with specific focus on SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) it is important to understand the factors that influence the decision of converts to leave their mark on traditional festivals celebrated by their non-Muslim family members. Therefore, we conducted this study to identify the factors that motivate converts to participate in their original festival
 
Theoretical Framework: This study will produce a research framework based on a statistical analysis of models to assess factors that influence family sustainability among Muslim converts.
 
Method: This quantitative study used a sample of 485 converts. We also used SmartPLS 4.0 to look at the data, focusing on the structural model of the relationship between factors like faith (FH), knowledge (KNW), customs (CM), and exposure (EX) as well as the level of satisfaction at the family sustainability factor (FSF)
 
Results and Discussion: The study results show that factors such as exposure, knowledge, and customs play an important role in helping converts decide to get involved in their original celebration. According to statistical tests, these factors significantly affect converts' level of involvement in the festival, whereas the faith factor does not show a significant effect. We also performed multigroup analysis (MGA) to further analyse the data
 
Research Implications: The impact of the field study conducted can be used as an indicator of creating sustainability in family life despite different religions; for example, celebrating the original family's festival days despite having different religions and beliefs.
 
Originality/Value: We found significant differences between males and females regarding the influence of exposure, knowledge, and other factors. On the other hand, the effects of faith were not affected by gender. This study highlights the importance of gender preferences for satisfaction at family sustainability factors. Notably, these elements do not contribute equally to the decision-making progression of male and female converts, as some aspects are more significant than others for each gender.

Objective: This paper presents the assessment of the reliability and validity of a proposed questionnaire on determinants of financial readiness of military personnel.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study integrates the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Stress and Coping Theory and Life-Cycle model of consumption and savings as theoretical foundations.
 
Method: The questionnaire is developed based on the existing measurement scales from the literature. The study analysed a total of 220 questionnaires using SPSS 29.0. A purification process involves scale reliability and Exploratory Factor Analysis.
 
Results and Discussion: Results showed a relatively high internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha greater than 0.7 for all constructs. 8 constructs and 86 out of the initial 92 items representing the theoretical model. Items assigned to each dimension consistently exhibited high loadings on their constructs. Exploratory factor analysis showed a KMO value of above 0.7 for all constructs.
 
Research Implications: The findings help introduce a research framework as a standard measurement for determinants of financial readiness, specifically for military personnel. The financial planning is part of the strategies for realising SDGs no poverty, zero hunger, and good health and well-being.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to theory extension and testing, verification of the conceptualisation and operationalisation of constructs, and replication of the previous studies.
Colonial Java's Path to Nature Conservation: Foundations for SDG 15 and Sustainable Ecosystem Management

Published: February 2025

Objective: to explain the conservation movement's formation, the driving force of the movement, and its achievements in colonial Java Indonesia.
 
Theoretical Framework: The conservation movement is explained through an environmental history approach and social-ecological systems theory. Environmental history highlights human interactions and the natural environment in social, political, and economic contexts (McNeill, 2000). Within this framework, the conservation movement is seen as a response to ecological pressures arising from the intensive exploitation of natural resources, especially during the colonial period.
 
Method: This research relies on historical methods with primary sources such as colonial archives, conservation organization reports, and relevant secondary sources.
 
Result and Discussion: This study shows that the conservation movement evolved from efforts to protect resources for economic interests to protect forests, biodiversity, and natural beauty. This movement involved foresters, irrigation engineers, and naturalists who were members of the Nederlandsch-Indische Vereeniging tot Natuurbescherming organization. This movement formed historical foundations for SDG 15 and sustainable ecosystem management in Indonesia. The achievements of the conservation movement included three main aspects. A regulatory framework was formed that protected nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. Administratively, the colonial government established a special agency to handle nature conservation. Practically, conservation projects were launched that created conservation areas in various regions of Java. The tensions between the interests of the people and the state illustrates how conservation in the colonial era reflected the elite's vision rather than the people's needs.
 
Research Implications: This study confirms that conservation in the colonial era was more driven by elite interests, strengthening the theory that environmental policy is often an arena of power conflict, and enriching the understanding of the role of actors and regulations in the political economy of conservation. In practice, this suggests that modern conservation policies should be more inclusive, transparent, and equitable, by balancing environmental protection and community welfare.
 
Originality/Value: This study provides historical insights to understand the evolution of the conservation movement and offers lessons for future conservation efforts.

Objective: Silvopastoral systems (SPS) integrate trees and shrubs into pasturelands, offering a sustainable alternative to extensive livestock farming, which drives deforestation and biodiversity loss in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study is grounded in the principles of sustainable agriculture and agroecology, emphasizing the integration of ecological processes into agricultural systems to achieve environmental, economic, and social sustainability. The silvopastoral system (SPS) aligns with agroecological theories, which advocate for biodiversity enhancement, resource efficiency, and resilience in farming landscapes.
 
Method: This review analyzes scientific literature on silvopastoral systems (SPS) in the Ecuadorian Amazon, focusing on their ecological, economic, and social impacts. Peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and reports were sourced from databases like Scopus and Web of science. Key topics include deforestation, biodiversity conservation, soil fertility, and barriers to adoption. The findings synthesize current knowledge to identify gaps and propose strategies for promoting SPS implementation.
 
Results and Discussion: Inspired by Indigenous systems like the Kichwa chakra, SPS promote ecological balance while increasing livestock productivity and diversifying agricultural outputs. These systems also address rising demands for meat and dairy in Ecuador, which have grown by 3.5% annually over the past decade. Despite their ecological and economic benefits, adoption remains low, with only 15% of smallholders implementing SPS.
 
Research Implications: This study underscores the potential of silvopastoral systems to mitigate deforestation, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon while increasing agricultural productivity. However, it reveals significant barriers to adoption, including financial constraints, lack of awareness, and limited technical support.
 
Originality/Value: This study highlights the unique role of silvopastoral systems (SPS) in addressing deforestation and biodiversity loss in the Ecuadorian Amazon while enhancing livestock productivity. Unlike conventional pasture-based models, SPS integrate native tree species and shrubs, aligning modern agricultural practices with traditional indigenous knowledge, such as the Kichwa chakra system. This approach not only improves soil fertility and carbon sequestration but also strengthens ecosystem resilience. By analyzing adoption barriers and proposing targeted policy interventions, this research contributes to the growing discourse on sustainable livestock management. Its findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and local communities seeking to balance economic growth with environmental conservation.
