Sexual harassment in higher education is a serious problem that negatively affects students' mental well-being, academic performance, and learning climate. Unfortunately, these cases often go uncovered due to stigma, fear of retaliation, and lack of effective reporting mechanisms. This article presents a comprehensive review of the prevalence of sexual harassment on campus, causative factors, psychological, social, and academic impacts experienced by victims, and evidence-based coping strategies. This research uses the literature review method by examining various relevant studies and reports in the context of higher education. The literature study shows that the prevalence of sexual harassment on campus is quite high, with contributing factors including patriarchal culture, unequal power relations, lack of education about consent, and weak campus policies. The impacts include mental disorders, decreased motivation and academic achievement, and social isolation. Therefore, this article recommends the development of strict policies, gender equality education, safe reporting mechanisms for victims, and the provision of psychosocial support to create a safe, inclusive and equitable campus.

This study aims to examine the integration of local cultural values and increase students' physical activity through the traditional game of Patok Lele in Physical Education learning in elementary schools. The Patok Lele game, which comes from the culture of the people of North Sumatra, contains elements of the value of cooperation, sportsmanship, and motor skills that are in accordance with the competencies of Physical Education learning. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with a field study approach. Data were collected through observation of student activities, interviews with Physical Education teachers, and documentation of game implementation. The results showed that the application of the Patok Lele game was able to increase students' active participation, strengthen social interaction, and instill local cultural values in the learning process. Thus, the integration of traditional games in Physical Education subjects not only contributes to the development of motor skills, but also enriches students' character education. This study recommends the use of traditional games as contextual media in Physical Education learning to preserve culture while achieving national education goals.

This study explores the motivation of youth badminton athletes, focusing on the role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors in shaping performance readiness. The study employed a mixed-method approach involving semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys, targeting 30 active youth athletes affiliated with PB Djarum, Indonesia. Intrinsic motivation was examined through indicators such as personality traits, achievement orientation, and enjoyment, while extrinsic motivation included facilities, training methods, social support, and reward. The findings reveal that intrinsic motivation plays a more dominant role than extrinsic motivation in driving athletes’ dedication and commitment to training. Key indicators include strong personal disciplines, self-confidence, and the desire to achieve high performance. Conversely, uncertainty and moderate engagement were found in areas related to enjoyment and reward-based motivation. These results align with the self-determination theory, which emphasizes the sustainability of internally driven motivation in sport performance. The study underscores the importance of integrating psychological development into an athlete's training program to support long-term growth and career transition beyond sports.

This paper examines the progressive academicization of Silat in Malaysia between 2014 and 2024, highlighting its journey from a deeply rooted cultural tradition to an internationally recognized academic discipline. Anchored by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and supported by national bodies such as PASSMAL and PESONA, Silat has been institutionalized through curriculum development, international collaborations, and scientific innovation. Using a qualitative methodology comprising literature review, expert interviews, and case studies, the study maps the integration of Silat into higher education and global research ecosystems.

Key milestones include the establishment of Silat-focused coaching certifications, the application of motion analysis technology in training, and the proliferation of Silat studies in Scopus-indexed journals. Collaborative platforms such as IMACSSS and UNESCO ICM have been instrumental in elevating Silat’s academic stature and fostering cross-cultural dialogue. However, the expansion also presents challenges, such as the risk of cultural dilution and unequal knowledge partnerships.

The findings underscore the importance of safeguarding Silat’s philosophical roots while embracing interdisciplinary scholarship. Malaysia’s experience offers a forward-thinking model for integrating indigenous martial arts into academia—preserving authenticity while expanding global relevance. This study contributes to the broader discourse on traditional knowledge systems, cultural sustainability, and the evolving landscape of martial arts education.

This study aimed to explore and describe the norms, practices, and the ethos known as the “Spirit of the Game” in Ultimate Frisbee, based on narratives from players in Mindanao, Philippines. Using three research questions, the study examined these elements along with participants’ perceptions of the sport’s unique ethos.

An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was used, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and unstructured non-participant observations of selected players. Ellickson’s model of order without law framed the analysis, explaining how players regulate conduct through informal norms rather than formal refereeing, resolving conflicts through mutual negotiation.

Findings were organized into three themes: norms and practices, Spirit of the Game, and distinct features. Participants highlighted key elements such as team dynamics, bargains and negotiations, and conflict resolution as central to the sport’s informal system of norms. The “Spirit of the Game” was described as both knowledge of the rules and adherence to moral values. Distinct features noted included a community of players, mixed gender interaction, absence of cash prizes, and social events—factors seen as promoting the sport despite its lack of formal recognition.

This study contributes to the limited local literature on Ultimate Frisbee, particularly in its social-psychological dimensions. To ensure reliability, the researcher applied various qualitative strategies: a pilot study, triangulation (method, data, theory), member checking, transferability, audit trail, and bracketing.
