Tagi Jere Tradition: Its Function and Preservation as A Cultural Identity of Tidore People in Foramadiahi
Get PDFTagi Jere in the Tidore language means to visit the tomb of a saint. This ritual usually begins with certain preparations and is then followed by a visit to the Jere such as Jere Sultan Babullah, Jere Doe-doe, Jere Laboso, Jere Amo, Jere Tui, and Jere Wange Lamo. Tagi Jere is carried out as an expression of gratitude to God for the blessings that have been given. In addition, the Tagi Jere ritual is also carried out under certain conditions, such as crop failure, or as an antidote to distress or disaster. The researcher was interested in seeing the Tagi Jere ritual in the Tidore ethnic community in Ternate, especially in the Foramadiahi sub-district, using a qualitative approach. The interpretation of the data in the field shows that the Tagi Jere ritual is used as a request by the community based on their respective intentions. They brought Boso Kene (small pots of earthenware) containing Bira Kuraci (yellow rice) which they brought to the visited Jere. The Tagi Jere ritual also has a social value to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood that are manifested in mutual cooperation activities. The rituals performed by the Tidore ethnic community in various circles are preserved from generation to generation

Etiology of Disease and Traditional Medicine in the Minangkabau Ethnic Cosmology System
Get PDFTraditional medicine still has an important role in overcoming health problems in some Indonesian people, especially in people who live far from the reach of modern medical health services, such as Nagari Maek, Regency 50 Kota of West Sumatra Province. The relationship between the etiology of disease and the use of traditional medicinal herbs and plants by battra (people who heal) in the Minangkabau tribe needs to be explained. This research examines the etiology of disease related to disease symptoms, causes, concepts of health and disease, as well as physical treatment of sick people. This research was conducted in the Nagari Maek community, Regency 50 Kota with 5 informants, 10 of whom were patients or had been patients. The research uses ethnographic type qualitative methods, namely observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The results of the research show that the diseases that occur in the Nagari Maek community are caused by personalistic causes (diseases caused by the supernatural through shamans who aim to cause disease) and naturalistic causes (diseases caused by food, unclean environments, conditions in a person's body such as blood clogged, blood not flowing smoothly and so on). Diseases caused by personalism, in general, battra perform external treatment by soaking the concoction and sprinkling it on the patient's body, distributing the air concoction throughout the sick person's body and emitting smoke from the concoction into the patient's body. Meanwhile, diseases caused by naturalistic causes are treated by using concoctions that have been made to be drunk or eaten by the patient being treated
The Prevalence of Female Contraception in a Zero-Growth Population Policy
Get PDFThis study aims to describe why couples decide to have unmet needs and the impact on the family and the country of these decisions. The study used mixed methods. Qualitative, qualitative and secondary data analysis (quantitative). The results of the study High unmet need does not always lead to high fertility. Education, high female labor participation, and female empowerment are among the supporting factors. Independent women have a unique perspective in interpreting children. Women have the capacity to decide and analyze the presence of children. When a child is considered a burden on the family, it will be limited to have children. There's a group that identifies themselves as unmet need, but the TFR rate in a region remains stable. The willingness to spread children apart, or not have more children, and sexual intercourse without contraceptives have high no-birth outcomes. The conclusion is that not all unmet need contributes to a high TFR. Sexual intercourse without contraceptives, and still making TFR stable can be a new discourse for reproductive health issues of the people who use it.This study aims to describe why couples decide to have unmet needs and the impact on the family and the country of these decisions.
