  • The Importance Of Understanding The Meaning Of Ramadan And Eid Al-Fitr As A Spiritual, Social, And Humanitarian Transformation

    The Importance Of Understanding The Meaning Of Ramadan And Eid Al-Fitr As A Spiritual, Social, And Humanitarian Transformation

    The month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are two significant occasions in Islamic teachings that possess very strong spiritual, social, and cultural dimensions. Both are not merely understood as a series of ritual acts of worship, but also as a process of positive, sustainable self-transformation that has a far-reaching impact on the lives of both individuals and society.

    Ramadan as a Process of Self-Purification

    Ramadan itself is the ninth month of the Hijri calendar, during which Muslims are obligated to observe the fast (shaum). Theologically, fasting has the primary goal of cultivating a God-fearing character, as emphasized in the concept of Taqwa—a full awareness of God’s presence reflected in ethical and moral conduct.

    From a psychological and social perspective, fasting cultivates self-control, discipline, and empathy toward others. By refraining from hunger, thirst, and carnal desires, individuals are encouraged to understand the reality of social inequality and develop compassion for the less fortunate. Practices such as zakat, infak, and sadaqah further underscore the dimension of social redistribution in Islam, making Ramadan an instrument for fostering collective solidarity.

    Eid al-Fitr as a Symbol of Victory and Reconciliation

    Eid al-Fitr, celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal, marks the culmination of the Ramadan fasting observance. Etymologically, Eid al-Fitr can be interpreted as “returning to purity” or the human fitrah. This occasion reflects an individual’s success in undergoing a process of self-purification during Ramadan.

    More than just a celebration, Eid al-Fitr holds profound social significance. The tradition of mutual forgiveness (halal bihalal) serves as a cultural practice that strengthens social bonds, resolves conflicts, and rebuilds harmonious interpersonal relationships. In this context, Eid al-Fitr functions as a social mechanism to foster balance and harmony within society.

    Social and Cultural Dimensions

    Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr also have far-reaching implications in social and cultural life. Collective activities such as breaking the fast together, tarawih prayers, and the annual homecoming (mudik) reflect the values of togetherness and communal identity. These traditions not only strengthen family bonds but also build broader social networks. Overall, Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are two inseparable, pivotal moments in shaping individuals of spiritual and social integrity. Ramadan functions as a process of internalizing values, while Eid al-Fitr serves as the external manifestation of the success of that process. Both teach that the essence of life lies not only in the relationship between humans and God but also in the quality of relationships with fellow human beings. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)

  • Water Vapor Movement on Mass and Heat Transport in the Perspective of Water Vapor Buoyancy: A Review

    Authors: Khairul Ikhwan Mohd Jamalluddin ; Sunny Goh Eng Giap ; Mohammad Fadhli Ahmad ; Hanhan Maulana ; Senny Luckyardi

    DOI: 10.37934/arnht.19.1.1528

    Abstract

    In 1957, the governing equation of mass and heat transport in the soil or porous media was popularised, now commonly referred to as PdV theory. This governing equation helps to quantify and simulate the water, vapor and heat in porous media. But at the same time, due to the fundamental uncertainty parameter in the equation, it was continuously updated. The equation predicting vapor flux movement in the soil has been the subject of many investigations. The vapor enhancement factor (VEF) was introduced to overcome the issue. When VEF was introduced, a few researchers were able to quantify the factor, but could not provide the guiding mechanism representing the observation. In the latest review from a literature study, we found a new form of equation to improve the VEF. It comes from the basis of the universal gas law, which describes the volume expansion from liquid water to vapor, and also the vapor buoyancy. This study aims to review water vapor movement and vapor buoyancy phenomenon. Also, to identify the parameters of the equations that contribute to the vapor buoyancy effect. The water vapor movement should not be neglected in the governing equation because its contribution to the overall mass movement is significant. Vapor buoyancy is possible to become a mechanism out from VEF. The parameters that contribute to vapor buoyancy effect are gravity, soil temperature, vapor density and water salinity. Clearly, understanding vapor buoyancy effect helps us better predict the distribution of soil temperature and soil moisture content. © 2024, Penerbit Akademia Baru. All rights reserved.

    Advancing Language Education in Indonesia: Integrating Technology and Innovations

    Authors: Senny Luckyardi, Silvi Munawaroh, Amirullah Abduh, Rosmaladewi R, Achmad Hufad, Nuria Haristiani

    DOI: 10.17509/ajse.v4i3.79471

    Abstract

    Language learning in Indonesia’s educational environment is accelerating change due to the introduction of novel technologies and teaching methods. This paper analyzed the essential functions of digital tools, the internet, and contemporary educational approaches to enhancing Indonesian language learning results. When considering the challenges of low penetration in remote areas and fluctuating technological maturity, opportunities exist to explore the potential of technology to bridge the language acquisition gap. Drawing on a review of several projects (i.e., mobile applications, e-learning platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language support), the current study outlines their success in fostering multilingualism, enhancing engagement rates, and developing mother tongue and second language skills. The outcome suggests that education through language for Indonesian learners will be successful if there is a balance between traditional teaching advantages, such as face-to-face teaching, and modern technology’s power and freedom. Policies, pedagogical, and institutional ideas are proposed to build a sustainable, inclusive, and dynamic model for a language education framework based on the sake of its citizenry. © 2024 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.

  • Novel Motion Planning Strategy with Fuzzy Logic for Improving Safety in Autonomous Vehicles in Response to Risky Road User Behaviors

    Authors: Muhammad Aria Rajasa Pohan, Jana Utama, Budi Herdiana

    DOI: 10.17509/ajse.v4i3.75343

    Abstract

    This study aims to propose a new motion planning strategy for autonomous vehicles (AV) using fuzzy logic to improve safety. The strategy mitigates risky behaviors of other road users, such as zigzagging vehicles, sudden braking, pedestrians emerging from blind spots, and responding to sudden lane changes. The proposed method combines a novel fuzzy inference system and a configuration space map with adaptive dynamic object bounding boxes. These bounding boxes adjust in size according to the risk level of the dynamic object’s movement. The simulation test was conducted using four scenarios involving risky behavior from other road users. The proposed method was compared with conventional methods, with safety costs used to measure performance. The results showed that the proposed algorithm achieved better safety costs across all four scenarios; this improvement is due to the integration of the fuzzy system with the adaptive configuration space map, which accounts for uncertainties. These findings suggest that the proposed method improves AV motion planning safety in dynamic and unpredictable environments. This research contributes to developing safer, more reliable autonomous driving systems. © 2024 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.

  • Design Thinking to Enhance E-Commerce Accessibility for Blind Users in Indonesia

    Authors: Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, Dian Dharmayanti, Reymunda Dwi Alfathur

    DOI: 10.17509/ajse.v6i3.90874

    Abstract

    Indonesia’s expanding e-commerce sector still marginalizes blind users. This study aimed to determine whether a usercentred design process could convert inaccessible shopping flows into accessible ones. We applied Design Thinking to a large Indonesian e-commerce website, audited barriers with screen reader walkthroughs, mapped issues to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and ARIA, and iteratively prototyped semantics, headings, roles, keyboard flows, and feedback. Blind participants from a rehabilitation center completed think-aloud evaluations that compared the original and redesigned flows. Usability tests showed complete task completion across search, product, and checkout, with faster completion and fewer errors, because interface semantics matched assistive technologies and interaction steps were simplified and consistently announced. The redesign now enables truly independent transactions and reduces frustration. These findings indicate that locally adapted, standards-guided, and user-validated design can replace exclusion with inclusion in digital commerce and can be replicated by teams in resource-constrained settings to accelerate equitable access. © 2026 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
