Abstract

This article analyses the disputed narratives regarding women's identity and public space in Pakistani society, as reflected in the ideological struggle between traditionalist and non-traditionalist power blocs. The primary objective of this research is to explore how group-based threat feelings shape the narrative and counter-narrative of gender rights, feminism, and religious identity in Pakistan. The study also aspires to analyze how the traditionalists perpetuate religious patriarchy, whereas non-traditionalists promote more political and social engagement of women. Based on Group Threat Theory as a conceptual lens, the study employs a qualitative case study methodology. It draws on social media data from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, complemented with newspaper, television, journal articles, and protest archives. Data were collected through thematic content analysis of social media, visual media, and grassroots activism, using search terms such as "Aurat March" and "anti-feminism Pakistan." The findings indicate an intense intergroup tension: women's rights organizations, civil society, and feminist foreign policy-supporting media voices, all non-traditionalists, believe women's liberty is under an existential threat due to entrenched religious patriarchy. They counter by demanding women's empowerment on such matters as body rights, marriage, dowry, and public participation. Alternatively, traditionalists view these demands as a cultural and symbolic threat to male authority, Islamic values, and morality. This results in militant counter-discourses, institutionalized resistance at the state level, and efforts to solidify conservative gender norms. The article finds that this intensifying group threat dynamic has grown into a bigger political and cultural conflict, setting gender identity politics in Pakistan but also across similarly structured postcolonial Muslim nations.

Abstract

The level of sales of realme smartphones in the low-end and mid-range segments is still inferior to other brands. This study aims to identify the influence of consumer purchasing decisions on product quality, product design, and brand image. The population in this study were all realme smartphone consumers. The number of samples in this study was 96 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The analysis tool used is SEM SmartPLS. This study explains that product quality directly influences 40.3% of purchasing decisions. Product design also directly influences 32.6% of purchasing decisions, while the brand image does not affect purchasing decisions. Therefore, brand image cannot mediate product quality and design on purchasing decisions. Product design directly affects 41.9% of brand image, and product quality directly affects 32.2%. Thus, it is necessary to pay attention to these three things to increase sales.

Abstract

The government is the front guard responsible for breaking the chain of spread of Covid-19. However, multi-stakeholder support and integrated cooperation are needed to break the chain of transmission and spread of Covid-19, including the involvement of ulama figures. Because, in the structure of Acehnese society, ulama occupy a highly respected and revered position. Moreover, the Aceh government considers ulama to be the government's communication link to the community. Therefore, this article aims to understand perceptions and identify the involvement of ulama, both directly and indirectly, in handling Covid-19 in Aceh. The method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The database comes from in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation studies. Meanwhile, technical data analysis uses an inductive approach and is analyzed interactively. The research results show thatThe role of ulama has become crucial in efforts to handle and manage the impact of Covid19 in Aceh. Ulama play an important role in raising public awareness during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through collaboration with the government, ulama participate in socializing government policies down to the grassroots level to suppress the spread of Covid-19. It is not just an appeal but is also involved in disciplining the community regarding health protocols, supporting preventive measures, providing psychological and spiritual support, as well as encouraging social solidarity, and even taking part in the Covid-19 vaccination program. Ulama have helped unite communities in facing the Covid-19 crisis in Aceh

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mendukung pengembangan Desa Tumpatan Nibung sebagai desa Agroekoedutorism melalui mekanisme pengadaan barang dan jasa secara swakelola. Pendekatan swakelola dipilih untuk mendorong partisipasi aktif masyarakat, khususnya kelompok tani, dalam proses perencanaan dan pelaksanaan pembangunan desa. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2025 di Desa Tumpatan Nibung dengan melibatkan Kelompok Tani Agro Saka Milenial sebagai peserta utama serta didukung oleh Yayasan Cendekia Hijau Indonesia. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi perencanaan kebutuhan, pelaksanaan pengadaan berbasis masyarakat, pendampingan teknis dan administratif, serta kegiatan monitoring dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pengadaan melalui swakelola mampu meningkatkan kapasitas kelompok tani, memperkuat rasa memiliki masyarakat terhadap program pembangunan, serta menyediakan sarana pendukung pertanian, edukasi, dan wisata agro yang berkelanjutan. Kegiatan ini memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap pemberdayaan masyarakat dan dapat menjadi model pengadaan partisipatif yang dapat diterapkan di wilayah pedesaan lainnya.
