The Impact of Corruption on Economic Stability and Community Life in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the social and economic impact of corruption in Indonesia. Using the thematic method, statements of key personalities and data gathered from documentation studies were analyzed. Results of data analysis revealed that corrupt practices inhibit economic progress and erode public trust. Moreover, it promotes a negative perception on state institutions, unjust distribution of resources, and unsatisfactory public goods and services. Corruption has a direct impact on vital sectors such as education, health, and economic development, thus hindering the improvement of the quality of human resources and community welfare. Prevalence of corruption exacerbates social inequality and violations of human rights. Eradicating corruption requires collaborative efforts among various stakeholders as well as improvement on the enforcement and public awareness of the law
Efficacy of Women Counselors in Mitigating Religious Violent Extremism in Families in the East Bandung Area
Get PDFThis study explores the efficacy of female religious counselors in mitigating religious-based violent extremism within the domestic sphere, focusing on East Bandung—an area with a high susceptibility to radicalization. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of field activities conducted by female religious counselors. The findings reveal that these counselors adopt a feminine da’wah strategy rooted in empathy, dialogue, and everyday narratives, which significantly contributes to building critical awareness, behavioral transformation, and ideological resilience within families and grassroots communities. Their performance demonstrates competency across Bloom\u27s cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, allowing for the effective transmission of moderate religious values and the cultivation of tolerant attitudes. Despite their strategic role, these women face structural challenges, including patriarchal resistance, limited access to specialized deradicalization training, and a lack of institutional support. The study contributes theoretically to discourses on gender, religious communication, and community-based security, highlighting female counselors as transformative agents in the fight against extremism. Practically, it underscores the necessity of integrating gender-sensitive policies in national counter-extremism strategies and calls for formal recognition and empowerment of female religious counselors as vital actors in promoting peace, inclusivity, and social resilience
Understanding The Structural Tissue of Pectoral Finless Albino African Catfish Clarias gariepinus Originating From Pond Cultivation
Get PDFThe loss of pectoral fin is an undesirable trait always found in almost all catfish breeding programmes in Indonesia, so further investigation is needed to clarify this problem. This study aims to describe albinism in fish with pectoral fin deformity from an immunohistochemical perspective by evaluating the correlation between two proteins (TBX5 protein and TYR protein) from eye and skin tissues. We used an individual albino fish (TL = 42 cm) found by local farmers in the Kebomas district, Gresik, to study the histological differences between albino fish without pectoral fins and black fish with regular pectoral fins using descriptive methods. The histotechniques using HE staining followed the Bioscience Laboratory, and the immunohistochemical staining was performed according to the Biomedical Laboratory procedure at Brawijaya University. The slides were scanned using Aperio Scanning CS2. Morphological structure differences determination used a t-test (α = 0.05). Spearman\u27s rank correlation assessed the relationship between fin morphology and albinism. The results showed significant differences between the skin and retinal thickness of the two fish (p <0.05), and the total retinal thickness of albino fish without pectoral fins was significantly thinner than that of regular fish. Rank correlations showed a positive association between pectoral fin loss and reduced skin and eye histology. The histochemical studies indicated that TBX5 is an important factor in pigmentation and fin development, but additional factors may disrupt TYR regulation in albino fish. The results of this study provide further evidence for considering pectoral fin phenotype as one of the evaluation factors to make the success of a breeding program
Contesting Islamic Educational Values: A Minangkabau Response to Indonesia’s National Hijab Policy
Get PDFIndonesia’s Joint Ministerial Decree (SKB Tiga Menteri), which prohibits schools from mandating the hijab, has sparked significant controversy, particularly in Minangkabau society, where Islamic norms are strongly interwoven with adat and educational traditions. This study aims to analyze the roots of Minangkabau resistance to the hijab policy and to understand what this conflict reveals about broader negotiations between state authority and local Islamic educational values. Employing a qualitative fieldwork approach, the research integrates in-depth interviews, field observations, and digital documentation. These primary data are complemented by qualitative content analysis of media reports, public statements, and community narratives to capture both grassroots and public discourses. Findings show that Minangkabau communities interpret the policy as undermining the moral development of children and disrupting the long-standing normalization of hijab practice in schools. Their resistance signifies a strong assertion of educational autonomy and reflects a challenge to the state’s attempt to centralize religious policy. This contestation is rooted not only in religious doctrine but also in cultural heritage and communal identity. The Minangkabau reaction highlights the persistent dissonance between national education policies and local religious-cultural frameworks, demonstrating that uniform regulations may fail to accommodate Indonesia’s plural sociocultural landscape. The study underscores the need for culturally responsive policy-making in Islamic education, encouraging future decisions to integrate local values, community participation, and context-sensitive approaches to avoid conflict and strengthen policy legitimacy
JAVANESE WEDDING TRADITIONS: BETWEEN HERITAGE AND ARAB INFLUENCE
Get PDFThis study examines the dynamics of Javanese wedding traditions that have retained their cultural essence despite acculturation with Arab culture and modernization. A qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach was used to observe traditional Javanese wedding ceremonies and how they have changed in response to external cultural influences. Data were obtained through direct observation of wedding ceremonies in Java and analyzed using triangulation techniques. The results show that, while Javanese weddings maintain traditional values such as togetherness and family harmony, elements of Javanese culture have been modified to align with Islamic values. For example, the accompaniment of the bride and groom with gamelan music and traditional dodot clothing has been replaced with sholawat and tambourines. The study also revealed changes in guest seating arrangements, with some families adopting the Arab tradition of separating male and female guests. This study provides insight into how Javanese culture remains alive and relevant by maintaining traditions while adapting to modernization and outside cultural influences. It also provides an example of cultural flexibility in the face of changing times
SYNCRETIC RITUALS IN SUNDANESE AGRICULTURE: A PHILOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE MELAK PARE MANUSCRIPT
Get PDFThis research examines the physical characteristics and textual content of the Melak Pare manuscript, a significant cultural artifact within Sundanese heritage. The research aims to enhance public understanding of this manuscript by providing a detailed description and analysis. Employing historical methodology, including heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, this research draws on primary data from the original Melak Pare manuscript housed at the Sri Baduga Museum in Bandung, as well as secondary sources such as books, scholarly articles, and related documents. The findings show that the manuscript is written on yellowed European-style paper that has been reinforced with Japanese tissue as a preservation measure. The script used is Arabic Pegon, resembling standard Arabic script yet exhibiting distinct compositional features unique to local usage. The content consists of agricultural mantras integral to traditional Sundanese agrarian practices. These mantras incorporate ritual actions and invoke Nyimas Puhaci Sanghyang Sri, widely known as Dewi Sri, alongside prayers modeled on Islamic traditions. The manuscript thus reflects a process of cultural assimilation, illustrating the emergence of a hybrid cultural form shaped by prolonged interaction between indigenous Sundanese and Islamic influences.

From Hashtag to Street Action: Applying SIMCA to the #IndonesiaGelap Movement in Samarinda
Get PDFThis study examines #IndonesiaGelap as a digitally mediated new social movement through which Indonesians expressed dissatisfaction with contested government policies, focusing on mobilization in Samarinda. It aims to explain how affective expressions and moral evaluations circulating online contributed to collective identity formation and the translation of online resonance into offline collective action. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were drawn from in-depth interviews with movement participants, participatory observation, social media content (X and Instagram), and news coverage. Materials were analysed thematically and interpreted through the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA), complemented by resource mobilization theory and Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological concepts of motive and intersubjectivity. Findings show that perceived injustice created a shared moral frame, while digitally amplified anger, outrage, and hope fostered solidarity and an inclusive coalition identity across student organizations, civil society groups, and unaffiliated citizens. Collective efficacy was enacted through open consolidations and coordinated mobilization of material, human, organizational, and symbolic resources, including the hashtag and Garuda imagery. The study concludes that #IndonesiaGelap in Samarinda was not merely a trending hashtag but a meaning-making process in which platformed emotions, identity alignment, and resource coordination jointly enabled offline collective action. The contribution lies in specifying how affective dynamics and morality operate within SIMCA in an Indonesian local context, and in showing how efficacy is organizationally produced. Practically, the results imply that transparent, participatory policymaking and responsive communication may reduce escalation, while movement organizers benefit from inclusive consolidation and clear symbolic strategies
Reframing Tentmaking Ministry: A Theological–Ethical Critique of Contemporary Practice in South Africa
Get PDF“Tentmaking ministry” has become a common term in contemporary church discourse to legitimise dual engagement in secular employment and pastoral service. Yet the concept often lacks precision and has generated ethical contestation, especially in church contexts marked by economic precarity and the increasing commercialisation of religion. This article offers a conceptual and theological-ethical critique of contemporary tentmaking ministry in South Africa. Rather than presenting new empirical data, it develops an analytical framework by reconstructing a Pauline normative baseline from key texts in Acts and the Pauline epistles (Acts 18:3; 1 Thess 2:9; 1 Cor 9:15; Acts 20:33–35) and placing that baseline in critical dialogue with scholarship on bi-vocational ministry and the political economy of religion. The analysis argues that when “tentmaking” functions primarily as income supplementation alongside sustained church remuneration, it increasingly resembles moonlighting rather than Pauline self-support. This shift raises concerns about ministerial accountability, the moral economy of church resources, and the long-term sustainability of congregational life. The article contributes (i) a clarified typology distinguishing Pauline tentmaking, bi-vocational ministry, moonlighting, and full-time ministry and (ii) a set of normative criteria for discerning authentic tentmaking in the twenty-first century, including motivational orientation, transparency, proportionality, time accountability, protection of the poor and mission-critical resources, contextual sensitivity, and periodic review. By reframing tentmaking as an ethically structured practice rather than a flexible label for dual employment, the study provides churches and denominational bodies with constructive guidance for evaluating economic arrangements in ministry, while safeguarding mission integrity and communal responsibility
From Punishment to Transformation: A Phenomenological Study on Post-Traumatic Growth in Former Prisoners
Get PDFTrauma experienced after incarceration is a heavy burden for former prisoners during their reintegration into society. Apart from social stigma and economic difficulties, prisoners frequently face profound psychological pressure due to traumatic experiences during imprisonment. This study aimed to investigate the experience of PTG among former prisoners in Indonesia after their release. A phenomenological design was used and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 male former prisoners. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was also used to analyze participant responses. Participants\u27 perceptions of PTG showed five key themes, namely (1) self-understanding and personal development, (2) relationships with family and social networks, (3) spirituality and relationship with God, (4) coping strategies and mechanisms, and (5) a greater sense of meaning in life. The results corresponded to Tedeschi and Calhoun\u27s theory and introduced an additional theme regarding coping strategies and mechanisms. In conclusion, the development and implementation of psychosocial interventions should be prioritized for former prisoners
The Role of Loneliness as a Mediator between Emotional Dysregulation and Doomscrolling in College Students
Get PDFThis study aimed to investigate the role of loneliness as a mediator of the relationship between emotional dysregulation and doomscrolling among college students in Yogyakarta. The cross-sectional quantitative design included 200 active college students recruited through random sampling. Participants completed the Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale (DERS), the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS), and the Doomscrolling Scale (DS). Mediation analysis was conducted using bootstrapping-based analysis, Hayes PROCESS/ModMed on Jamovi. The results showed that emotional dysregulation directly predicted doomscrolling (β = .196, p = .020) and loneliness (β = .511, p < .001). Loneliness also increased doomscrolling (β = .549; p < .001) and partially mediated the relationship (β = .280; p < .001), with a total effect of β = .477 and a mediation proportion of 58.8%. These findings outlined the importance of emotion regulation interventions and social connection, strengthening programs on campus to reduce doomscrolling
