Get PDFABSTRAK
Aktivitas paradiplomasi Skotlandia memiliki dimensi nasionalistik yang cukup kuat untuk menjadi bangsa yang merdeka dari Britania Raya. Kondisi tersebut mempengaruhi pola relasi hubungan pusat – dan non pusat pada aktivitas
paradiplomasi Skotlandia. Tujuan penelitian adalah bagaimana pola relasi pusat daerah dalam paradiplomasi Skotlandia yang bermotif nasionalistik. Penelitian ini diuji menggunakan teori paradiplomasi secara universal untuk menganalisis motif paradiplomasi dan dimensi nasionalisme dalam paradiplomasi. Pola pusat - Daerah dalam Paradiplomasi diambil dari pemikiran Panayotis Soldatos yang bernada sama dengan instrumen Multiple Response Questionnaire yang ditelaah oleh Kuzetsov yaitu bagaimana posisi dan sikap pemerintah pusat atas aktivitas paradiplomasi daerah. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data melalui data sekunder. Dengan jangkauan penelitian pada tahun 2014-2022 pada era kepimpinan Nicola Sturgeon. Hasil temuan pada penelitian ini menjabarkan mengenai dimensi nasionalisme pada paradiplomasi Skotlandia, yang mana konstruksi identitasnya bertujuan untuk mempromosikan citra positif pada dunia, artikulasi kepentingan nasionalisme skotlandia mengarah pada kepentingan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Mobilisasi politik teritorial memiliki
intensi untuk referendum menjadi negara independen. Analisis pola relasi hubungan pemerintah pusat (Britania Raya) dengan non-pusat (Skotlandia) ditinjau
dari motif penerapan paradiplomasi Skotlandia. Hubunganm strategis Skotlandia dengan negara-negara seperti Cina, India, Pakistan, USA, Canada membentuk motif paradiplomasi politik, ekonomi dan budaya. Sehingga pada tahun 2014-2022
fenomena yang terbentuk dari pola hubungan pemerintah pusat dan non pusat skotlandia adalah pola pola paralel-harmony. Gejala tersebut menunjukkan indikasi bahwa pemerintah Skotlandia bertindak independen di level internasional dengan beracuan pada Scotland Act 1998 sesuai dengan pelimpahan kekuasaan yang diberikan Britania Raya dan secara administratif penerapan tidak kontradiktif
dengan pemerintah pusat.

ABSTRACT
Scotland's para-diplomatic activities have a nationalistic dimension strong enough to become an independent nation from Great Britain. These conditions affect the pattern of relations between the centre and non-centre in Scottish para diplomacy activities. The study aims to determine how the pattern of central-regional relations in Scottish para-diplomacy has a nationalistic motive. This research was tested using the universal theory of para diplomacy to analyze paradiplomacy motives and the dimensions of nationalism in paradiplomacy. The central-regional pattern in
para-diplomacy is taken from the thoughts of Panayotis Soldatos, which has the same tone as the Multiple Response Questionnaire instruments studied by Kuzetsov, namely the position and attitude of the central government regarding
regional para-diplomacy activities. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection through secondary data. With research coverage in 2014-2022 during the leadership era of Nicola Sturgeon. The findings in this study describe the dimensions of nationalism in Scottish para diplomacy, in which the identity construction aims to promote a positive image in the world, and the articulation of Scottish nationalism interests leads to economic interests and people's welfare. The territorial political mobilization intends a referendum on becoming an independent state. Analysis of the pattern of relations between the central government (United Kingdom) and non-central (Scotland) regarding the
motives for implementing Scottish paradiplomacy. Scotland's strategic relations with countries such as China, India, Pakistan, the USA, and Canada form political, economic and cultural para-diplomacy motives. So that in 2014-2022 the
phenomenon formed from the pattern of relations between the Scottish central and non-central governments is a parallel-harmony pattern. These symptoms indicate
that the Scottish government is acting independently at the international level regarding the Scotland Act 1998 following the delegation of powers granted by the United Kingdom, and administratively, the application is consistent with the central government.

The Influence of the #MeToo Movement on Socio-Political Dynamics in the MENA Region
Get PDFThis research explains the influence of the #MeToo movement phenomenon on social and political dynamics in the MENA. Against the backdrop of slow structural change and an authoritarian social contract in the region, the #MeToo movement expanded the space for women and men to overcome cultural taboos regarding gender-based violence. With social movement theory, this research analyses this phenomenon through political opportunities, mobilisation structures, and artistic framing. The analysis results show that the #MeToo movement in MENA gives women and men a voice in fighting gender oppression, changing cultural norms, and demanding policy reform by involving social media as a critical tool to trigger a change in society's perception of sexual violence and provide the impetus for broader reform in women's rights in the region
Center-Regional Relations in National Motivated Paradiplomacy: A Scottish Case Study
Get PDFThis study investigated the complex dynamics of center-regional relations in nationally motivated paradiplomacy, using Scotland as a case study. As a devolved nation within the United Kingdom (UK), Scotland has actively pursued international engagement not merely as a pragmatic exercise in policy diffusion or economic cooperation, but as a strategic vehicle for constructing a distinct national identity. This research identified the nationalist dimension as a primary motive behind Scottish paradiplomacy, particularly under the leadership of the Scottish National Party. Employing a qualitative interpretive approach and a case study method, the study drew upon primary sources (official Scottish government documents, speeches, and international frameworks) and secondary literature spanning 2014 to 2022. Using the analytical lens of paradiplomatic theory and the center-regional relationship typology developed by Panayotis Soldatos, the study concluded that Scotland’s paradiplomacy fits the parallel disharmony pattern. While Scotland and the UK operate simultaneously in international affairs, their motivations, narratives, and policy orientations frequently diverge. Scotland’s emphasis on global citizenship, climate justice, and European engagement stands in stark contrast to London’s centralist and post-Brexit trajectory. This dissonance illustrates how subnational paradiplomacy can serve not only as a policy tool but also as a political instrument for autonomy-seeking entities, challenging conventional notions of sovereignty from below. This study contributes to the broader discourse on paradiplomacy by demonstrating how subnational governments with strong nationalist narratives can develop differentiated external roles within a unitary state structure
PENGOLAHAN LIMBAH KULIT PISANG MENJADI BIOBATERAI SEBAGAI ENERGI ALTERNATIF RAMAH LINGKUNGAN WARGA SIDOTOPO WETAN, SURABAYA
Get PDFBatteries are one source of electrical energy that is still an important need in everyday life, especially for electronic equipment. Batteries are often used for daily activities, including for TV remotes, wall clocks, flashlights, and others. However, battery waste is very dangerous for the environment because it contains hazardous materials and requires proper handling to deal with it. One of them is the procurement of alternative batteries that are more environmentally friendly. Battery waste can be recycled using natural materials, one of which is using waste from banana peels. Banana peels contain ionizing properties and conduct electricity, making them suitable for use as an electrolyte paste that has optimal battery life. The processing of leather waste into alternative batteries (biobatteries) is carried out with partners from the residents of Sidotopo Wetan Village, Kenjeran District, Surabaya, as a community service program through three stages, namely the preparation, socialization, and practice stages. Then in the practical session, experiments were also carried out with the aim of knowing the voltage generated from the biobattery and the durability of the biobattery made from banana peel waste. In the experimental results in the practical session, it was found that banana peel waste can deliver electricity, so it can be used for electrolytics in commercial batteries which may be used as biobatteries. It is hoped that through this service program, it can provide provisions for community partners in overcoming battery needs through their own production to reduce the cost of purchasing batteries, as well as being able to update science and technology, so that community partners are able to create prosperous and competitive families.
Baterai merupakan salah satu sumber energi listrik yang masih menjadi kebutuhan penting dalam kehidupan sehari-hari terutama untuk peralatan elektronika. Baterai seringkali digunakan untuk kegiatan sehari-hari, diantaranya untuk remot TV, jam dinding, senter, dan lain-lain. Namun, limbah baterai sangat berbahaya bagi lingkungan karena mengandung bahan berbahaya dan beracun yang memerlukan penanganan yang tepat untuk mengatasinya. Salah satunya dengan pengadaan baterai alternatif yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Limbah baterai dapat didaur ulang menggunakan bahan alami salah satunya menggunakan limbah dari kulit pisang. Kulit pisang memiliki kandungan yang dapat terionisasi dan menghantarkan listrik, sehingga cocok digunakan sebagai pasta elektrolit yang memiliki daya tahan baterai yang optimal. Pengolahan limbah kulit pisang menjadi baterai alternatif (biobaterai) dilakukan bersama mitra warga Kelurahan Sidotopo Wetan, Kecamatan Kenjeran, Surabaya, sebagai program pengabdian masyarakat melalui tiga tahapan yaitu tahap persiapan, sosialisasi, dan praktik. Kemudian di sesi praktik juga dilakukan eksperimen dengan tujuan mengetahui tegangan yang dihasilkan dari biobaterai serta daya tahan biobaterai yang berbahan dari limbah kulit pisang. Pada hasil eksperimen di sesi praktik didapatkan hasil bahwa limbah kulit pisang dapat mengantarkan arus listrik, sehingga dapat digunakan untuk menggantikan elektrolit pada baterai komersil yang berpotensi sebagai pembuatan biobaterai. Diharapkan melalui program pengabdian ini dapat memberikan bekal kepada mitra warga dalam mengatasi kebutuhan baterai melalui produksi sendiri untuk menekan biaya pembelian baterai, serta dapat menjadi pemutakhiran ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, sehingga mitra warga mampu menciptakan keluarga sejahtera dan berdaya saing
