Abstract

The formation of national identity in Indonesia, the world's largest archipelagic state, has historically been dominated by a centralized, terrestrial-focused historical narrative that often marginalizes the rich diversity of local and maritime histories. This study addressed the gap in understanding how a pedagogical shift towards these histories could foster a more inclusive and interconnected sense of nationhood, termed 'Archipelagic Consciousness', among young learners. A quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study was conducted over one academic semester in four primary schools across Indonesia. A total of 180 fifth-grade students participated, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received a pedagogical intervention based on local hero narratives, inter-island trade routes, and project-based learning focused on maritime culture. Data were collected using a validated pre-test/post-test 'Archipelagic Consciousness Inventory' (ACI), supplemented by qualitative data from focus group discussions and student portfolio analysis. Quantitative data analysis revealed a statistically significant, large-effect-size improvement in the ACI scores for the experimental group compared to the control group. Qualitative findings corroborated these results, with major themes emerging that included the validation of local identity as integral to the national story, a conceptual shift from viewing the sea as a barrier to a connector, and an enhanced appreciation for inter-regional cultural diversity. In conclusion, the pedagogical model centered on local and maritime histories was highly effective in cultivating Archipelagic Consciousness. Integrating these narratives into primary education offers a potent pathway for reimagining Indonesian national identity as a dynamic, interconnected, and pluralistic tapestry, moving beyond a monolithic, land-based conception. This study provides empirical support for curriculum reform aimed at fostering a more resilient and inclusive national identity.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the pluralistic legal landscape, where state, religious, and customary laws intersect, creates profoundly different realities for women's land rights. This study investigates the disparity between de jure principles and de facto outcomes in two of Indonesia's most prominent and contrasting customary systems: the patrilineal Batak Toba and the matrilineal Minangkabau. We employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. The quantitative phase involved a multi-stage random survey of 400 households (200 Batak, 200 Minangkabau) to establish inheritance patterns. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and a multivariable logistic regression model to control for socio-demographic confounders. The qualitative phase consisted of 42 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with purposively selected community members to explain the mechanisms behind the quantitative findings, analyzed via a thematic framework approach. Quantitative findings reveal that 88% of Minangkabau women had inherited land compared to only 32% of Batak women. After controlling for age, education, and occupation, logistic regression showed that Minangkabau women had over 14 times the odds of inheriting land compared to Batak women (OR=14.72; 95% CI [7.15, 30.31], p< 0.001). Qualitative data revealed two divergent mechanisms producing these outcomes: 'Institutionalized Security' in the Minangkabau system, where rights are embedded in matrilineal identity, and 'Negotiated Permeability' in the Batak system, where access is contingent upon discretionary grants (hibah) from male relatives and is a major source of conflict. In conclusion, the structure of customary lineage remains the single most powerful determinant of women's land inheritance, an effect that state law has not superseded. While the matrilineal system provides institutionalized security, the patrilineal system renders women's rights precarious and conflict-prone. Advancing gender equity in land tenure requires engagement with the internal logic and adaptive capacities of these deeply entrenched customary orders.

Abstract

Background. Clinical autopsy is the only procedure that verifies antemortem diagnosis against pathological truth, yet in Indonesian tertiary hospitals refusal is the norm and neither its determinants nor its medicolegal consequences are quantified. Methods. This STROBE-reported retrospective cohort study analysed 324 consecutive adult in-hospital deaths across three tertiary referral hospitals in Palembang, South Sumatra, from 2019 to 2023. The primary outcome was next-of-kin refusal of autopsy consent; secondary outcomes were Goldman-class diagnostic discrepancy and time to correct diagnosis, censored at day 90. Proportions carry Wilson intervals; tests were checked against Monte-Carlo exact methods, ordinal exposures against trend tests and multiplicity against Benjamini-Hochberg. Results. Refusal was 84.0% (272/324; 95% CI 79.6-87.5) and did not differ across hospitals (p = 0.330). Javanese ethnicity carried the strongest association (94.3% versus 77.7%; OR 4.71, 95% CI 2.05-10.82), with monotonic gradients across education (trend z = -3.87, p < 0.001) and income (z = -2.84, p = 0.005) and refusal concentrated among the disadvantaged (Wagstaff index -0.312). Religious affiliation showed no association (p = 0.290; Cramér's V = 0.108). Any diagnostic discrepancy was commoner after refusal (61.4% versus 36.5%; OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.49-5.11), whereas the major-discrepancy contrast did not reach significance (26.1% versus 13.5%; OR 2.27, 95% CI 0.98-5.27; fragility index 1). Median time to correct diagnosis was 19 versus 5 days (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Autopsy refusal in Indonesia tracks ethnic mortuary practice and socioeconomic position rather than religious affiliation, redirecting policy towards ritual accommodation and mandatory mortality audit where consent is declined.
