INDONESIA\u27S ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY STRATEGY IN NAVIGATING US-CHINA COMPETITION IN THE INDO-PACIFIC REGION: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLICY MAKERS
Full text linkThe intensifying strategic tensions between the United States and China in the Indo-Pacific region have created both challenges and opportunities for Indonesia\u27s economic development. This article examines Indonesia\u27s economic diplomacy strategy as a form of hedging to navigate this great power rivalry while maximizing national interests. Using qualitative case study methodology, this research analyzes policy documents, official speeches, economic reports, and secondary literature from the Jokowi administration period (2014-2024). The findings reveal that Indonesia implements a complex economic hedging strategy, combining soft balancing toward both China and the United States through cooperation with Quad nations, while simultaneously engaging in economic bandwagoning by attracting investments and participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. This dual approach allows Indonesia to maintain strategic autonomy and leverage economic benefits from both competing powers. The study concludes that Indonesia\u27s economic diplomacy has been relatively successful in mitigating risks and capitalizing on opportunities, though it faces sustainability challenges and deepening geopolitical pressures. The research contributes to understanding modern non-aligned practices in economic contexts and provides policy recommendations for maintaining strategic flexibility in an increasingly polarized regional order
BANGLADESH: BETWEEN COMPETING STRATEGIES AND GEOPOLITICAL RIVALRY IN THE INDO-PACIFIC
Full text linkIndo-Pacific (IP) has been turned into an important theatre for strategic competition with the growing involvement of major powers. The US, India, Japan and China all are engaging in the region but through divergent approaches. They are coming up with competing strategies like IPS, FOIP, BRI to counter the common rivals. Geopolitical rivalry between the great powers frequently caused discomfort for the other nations in this region. Bangladesh as an emerging economic power is facing challenges and dilemmas due to the strategic competition. Bangladesh\u27s position in the Indo-Pacific is defined by its strategic location and the competing interests of major powers. The country navigates this complex geopolitical landscape by balancing its relationships with these powers, engaging in strategic circumventing, and prioritizing its own national interests. The paper argues that Bangladesh has been pursuing four types of foreign policy goals: inclusive partnership, regional peace and stability, development priorities and defence cooperation
THE NEED OF CRITICAL LITERACY FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE ACTIVE IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES
No full textThe use of language that tends to be harsh, sarcastic, and emotional shows how today\u27s young generation articulates their dissatisfaction with public figures, mostly driven by feelings of disappointment with the past of these figures. This case is also related to the domino effect phenomenon, where previous negative events or information about public figures can trigger strong reactions or protests from certain groups. The flower arrangement at UNAIR illustrates how critical literacy, in the context of Indonesian culture that is filled with values of politeness, can be developed as an important skill among young people. This paper examines the answer of the chairman of BEM FISIP UNAIR, Tuffahati Ulayyah from the Harian Surya video podcast script. This study highlights the importance of critical literacy in education, showing that a lack of ability to evaluate and express opinions ethically and responsibly contributes to weaknesses in student critique

Depiction of Anxiety Through Metaphorical Symbols in Billie Eilish’ Selected Songs: A Psychoanalytic Perspective
Full text linkAnxiety disorders are psychological illnesses that affect a person\u27s ability to function normally. If not treated properly, anxiety can develop into more serious mental illnesses such as depression. This psychological phenomenon is often explored in contemporary art forms, such as literature and music. One musician named Billie Eilish, who is known for her dark and passionate songs, often explores the theme of anxiety in her work. This research aims to examine the depiction of anxiety in Billie Eilish\u27s Hit Me Hard and Soft album. The metaphorical symbols contained in the lyrical structure are found and analysed. Then, Psychoanalysis Theory by Sigmund Freud is used to show the manifestations of anxiety in the lyrics and how they relate to the themes of anxiety, uncertainty, and internal conflict. The method used in this research is qualitative research. It is used to analyse the lyrics of the selected songs, namely: Chihiro, Wildflower, Blue, and Bittersuite. The result of this research shows that there are indeed depictions of anxieties related to loss of beloved, uncontrolled thoughts, dilemma of desire and fear of living shown in Billie Eilish\u27s music. This research highlights how music serves as a medium to reflect and address the emotions people often experience
Implementation of Open-Ended Approach in Mathematics Learning to Improve Learning Independence of Vocational High School Students
No full textThis study aims to analyze the effectiveness of mathematics learning with an open-ended approach in improving the learning independence of Vocational High School (SMK) students. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design involving two groups of class XI Computer Network Engineering students (TKJ 1 and TKJ 2). The sample used was 72 students, which were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data on student learning independence were collected through a learning independence questionnaire consisting of 36 statements that were analyzed using statistical tests with the help of the SPSS version 30 program. The results showed that the experimental group using an open-ended approach experienced a more significant increase in learning independence compared to the control group. This finding indicates that the open-ended approach is effective in improving student learning independence, which is very important in preparing them to face the dynamic world of work. However, the level of student learning independence is still in the low category, which indicates the need for the implementation of advanced strategies to further maximize the potential for student independent learning in the long term
The The Influence of Visual Media Usage on the Mathematics Learning Outcomes of Al-Munir Islamic Junior High School Students
No full textThe purpose of this study is to ascertain how the use of visual aids, such as refusi boards, affects the learning outcomes of mathematics students at Al-Munir Islamic Junior High School when studying Relations and Functions. The study employed a posttest-only control group design and a quasi-experimental research methodology. Two classes made up the research sample: the experimental class, which learned using a refusi board as a visual aid, and the control group, which learned using traditional techniques devoid of visual aids. A post-treatment mathematics learning outcome test was used to collect data. The two groups\u27 learning outcomes differed significantly, as indicated by the Asymp. signature value (2-tailed) of 0.033 (<0.05), which was obtained from data analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test. In comparison to the control class, which had an average rank of 21.14 for student learning outcomes, the experimental class had an average rank of 29.86. These findings suggest that using a refusion board as a visual aid improves students\u27 learning outcomes in mathematics when it comes to Relations and Functions. As a result, this media is suggested as a different but equally effective learning method for enhancing comprehension of mathematical ideas
A Comparative Study of Gender: Analysis of Students’ Errors in Solving Mathematical Literacy Problems by Using Newman’s Method
No full textThe importance of mathematical literacy skills in the 21st century is the main reason for conducting this research. However, students\u27 mathematical literacy skills are not commensurate with the facts, as shown by the low PISA results in 2023, which prove that students\u27 mathematical literacy skills are still low and cast doubt on their ability to solve mathematical problems in elementary school. The low level of students\u27 mathematical literacy skills is due to the many mistakes made by students in solving mathematical literacy problems, necessitating a thorough analysis using Newman\u27s method based on gender. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of surveys, involving 262 students from three elementary schools in the Muara Bungo area, Jambi Province. Students were then classified according to their initial mathematical ability, which was divided into three categories: high, medium, and low. After that, six male and female students were selected for interviews. Data triangulation (Mathematical Literacy Test and Interview) ensured the validity of the data in this study. Data analysis was conducted following the steps Miles and Huberman outlined: data reduction, information presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study shows that the most common errors made by male students are reading, comprehension, and transformation, while female students more often make errors in process skills and encoding
Subtitling Strategies of Real World Culture References in The Complete and Extraordinary Life of Winston Churchill
Full text linkThis research focuses on analyzing cultural references and subtitling strategies in the translation of The Complete and Extraordinary Life of Winston Churchill from English into Indonesian. A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this study. It applied Pedersen\u27s taxonomy on cultural references and used Díaz Cintas and Remael’s subtitling strategies to identify subtitling techniques. The study found 118 cases of cultural references which were grouped into geographical (18.7%), ethnographic (28.8%), and socio-political references (52.5%) with socio-political references being the most dominant. Five subtitling strategies were identified which included literal translation (62%), loan (23%), substitution (9%), calque (4%), and explicitation (2%). Literal translation was the highest used strategy. These findings illustrate the challenge of translating documents laden with diverse and intricate cultural contexts, specifically the balance of preserving the historical and political context for the intended readers. The classification system employed in the study assists in balancing the preservation of cultural meaning and the subtitlers’ need to structure the translation for easy understanding. The study also invites other scholars to analyze the perception of audiences on cultural references in subtitles and the relationship between subtitling strategies and audience understanding and interest. The investigation of fan-subtitling and the socio-cultural implications of translated texts may enhance understanding of how audiovisual translation influences cultural perception and identity in a globalized context
Transformasi Harta Kawin (Studi Etnografi pada Masyarakat Buru Selatan)
Full text linkThis article describes the transformation of dowry giving in South Buru society, focusing on the changes in giving dowry from the groom to the bride. The background of this research is based on social, economic, and cultural changes that influence marriage customs in South Buru society, especially in the context of modernization and interaction with outside cultures. This study aims to understand the dynamics of changes in the tradition of giving dowry and the factors that influence it. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach through data collection techniques, observation, and in-depth interviews with informants with experience and knowledge of marriage customs. The results of this study indicate that there has been a change in the practice of giving dowry. This change suggests a shift in values in the marriage tradition, where economic factors and family negotiations play an increasingly important role in determining the amount of dowry, which is influenced by economic, social, and cultural factors. Recommendations to traditional leaders and the community are expected to restore the essence of dowry as a symbol of appreciation and respect according to customs in ancient times, not as a financial burden that indicates the subordination of women. To maintain the cultural values of the local community, traditional leaders and the local government need to sit together and agree to form a Regional Regulation on customary law that regulates the practice of giving dowry in South Buru. Thus, the Perda can guarantee justice for both women and men in the customary marriage system of the South Buru community.Artikel ini menggambarkan transformasi pemberian harta kawin dalam masyarakat Buru Selatan, dengan fokus pada perubahan yang terjadi dalam praktik pemberian harta kawin dari mempelai laki-laki kepada mempelai perempuan.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami secara mendalam dinamika perubahan tradisi pemberian harta kawin serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi, melalui teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi dan wawancara mendalam dengan para informan yang mempunyai pengalaman dan pengetahuan mengenai adat perkawinan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadi perubahan dalam praktek pemberian harta kawin. Perubahan ini menunjukkan adanya peralihan nilai dalam tradisi perkawinan, dimana faktor ekonomi dan negosiasi keluarga semakin berperan penting dalam menentukan jumlah besaran harta kawin, yang dipengaruhi oleh faktor ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya. Rekomendasi kepada pemangku adat dan masyarakat diharpkan dapat mengembalikan esensi harta kawin sebagai simbol penghargaan dan penghormatan sesuai adat istidat pada zaman dahulu, bukan sebagai beban finesial yang berunjuk pada subordinasi perempuan.
