Abstract

Ethnicity-based endogamous marriage is often related to the cultures of Arab descent in Indonesia. These past decades, sociocultural changes affected several cultures across Indonesia, mainly due to the rapid growth of information access and scientific knowledge. These changes also occurred within the Arab-descent communities in Indonesia, including changes in value and practice in their marriage tradition. This ethnographic research attempted to reexplore, redefine, and reinterpret the current perspectives of endogamous marriage through the minds of an Alawiyyin family in Bekasi, West Java. The informants mentioned that endogamous marriage was deemed irrelevant since 30-40 years ago, and what was once the norm changed into a simple preference. This change happened because of the elders’ and family patriarchs’ open-mindedness, and thus, nurtured a more welcoming attitude toward non-Arabs and non-Alawiyyins. They also realized that forced endogamy oftentimes caused feelings of solitude and discomfort to those affected. To prevent such discrimination from happening again, the informants mentioned that they grant more freedom to their offspring to select their own life partner, even though parental approval is still important to the couple’s marriage.

Abstract

Human teeth are unique since one population’s dental pattern might differ from another. Such specific dental characteristics, such as the incisor, are observable in each dentition. Objective: his study analyzed the population differences in Javanese and Chinese-Indonesian populations through observations of the incisal traits, namely winging, shoveling, and double shoveling. Methods: 50 dental casts (76 Javanese samples and 74 Chinese- Indonesian samples) were obtained from Dr. Myrtati Dyah Artaria’s private collection, stored in the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga. The traits were observed and scored using the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) and analyzed statistically using crosstab and chi-square methods. Results: Only three out of 13 test results exhibit significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The dentitions observed in the Chinese-Indonesian samples mirror the immense Chinese acculturation into Javanese cultures through interbreeding that happened generations ago. The gene flow between these two populations appears phenotypically in the dentitions, leading the Chinese-Indonesian samples in this study to express Sundadont traits despite their noticeable facial traits and heritage.

Abstract

Background: Senescence is the deterioration of the body's biological and physiological function throughout later life. Senescent populations are more prone to diseases. However, aside from osteoporosis, skeletal senescence is a less discussed topic in Indonesia. A global and national increase in the aging population indicates they will be a major group in society, raising the urgency of reviewing this matter. This study aims to comprehend the physiological and biomechanical mechanisms of skeletal senescence, as well as senescent variations in certain sex and population affinities. Literature Review: Age-related skeletal cellular death and imbalance contributes to bone damage in elders. Senescence also affects skeletal biomechanics, expressed in increased bone porosity and brittleness. Stresses in aged bone risks straining above its elastic limit and causing fractures due to its inability to tolerate such stresses. The loss of sex hormones is related to skeletal senescence, especially in females, while the effects of testosterone on skeletal senescence are under-researched. Dietary change, estrogen replacement therapy, and calcitonin consumption are effective measures in reducing the effects of osteoporosis. Variations were found in the bone aging process in different populations, especially regarding bone mineral density loss in white, African-American, Asian, and Hispanic populations. Conclusion: Specific population-based healthcare services in geriatrics and gerontology are highly suggested to ensure inclusive healthcare for every aged individual. Due to the minimal data about bone aging in Indonesia (other than osteoporosis), the authors encourage data procurement from the local populations to create more suitable medical guidelines for elders in Indonesia.

Abstract

Antropometri adalah salah satu terapan dari antropologi biologi yang mempelajari metode pengukuran manusia. Antropometri dapat dimanfaatkan dalam konteks arsitektur, terutama terkait dengan fungsionalitas dan kenyamanan manusia dalam ruang tertentu. Dengan metode telaah pustaka, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui implementasi antropometri dalam arsitektur, mulai dari arsitektur rumah adat, arsitektur ramah anak, arsitektur ruang publik, dan arsitektur ramah lansia. Setelah meninjau 15 sumber literatur dan menggolongkannya dalam lima subbab, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan antropometri terbukti sangat berguna dalam konteks arsitektur karena berkaitan erat dengan kenyamanan pengguna dan pemanfaatan ruang secara optimal. Pendekatan antropometri bisa dijadikan referensi untuk menilai apakah suatu objek arsitektur dapat menciptakan kenyamanan bagi manusia. Tidak hanya di bangunan modern, bangunan tradisional juga dibangun dengan prinsip antropometri tradisional yang unik dari satu kebudayaan dengan yang lainnya. Perlu digarisbawahi bahwa studi mengenai antropometri dalam konteks arsitektur nampaknya sedang populer di Indonesia, terlihat dari tahun publikasi yang relatif baru (10 tahun terakhir). Sayangnya, masih banyak bangunan-bangunan yang tidak menerapkan konsep ergonomi yang sesuai dengan antropometri, sehingga menimbulkan ketidaknyamanan dalam beraktivitas. Penulis merekomendasikan perluasan penelitian antropometri dan ergonomi dalam konteks arsitektur untuk mengevaluasi aspek kenyamanan pengguna dalam ruang-ruang arsitektur tertentu.

Abstract

 The pattern of facial aging helps put the perception of age into face approximation from the skull, making the facemore recognizable to the next of kin. The objective of this study is to determine the facial aging pattern of Javanesepeople in Indonesia. This study utilized the descriptive quantitative method to identify the highest frequency of thefacial aging pattern variables according to its prominence (0 = Not visible; 1 = Slightly visible; and 2 = Clearlyvisible). This study involved 50 male and 50 female samples of the Javanese population. Each sexed samples weredivided into two age-based groups: 40-44 and 45-49. The wrinkles on males and females aged 40-44 are mostlyslightly or not visible. In the 45-49 age group, the wrinkles are visible on the forehead, eyes, and cheeks. Sexdifferences are found in the forehead and cheek grooves, with males having deeper wrinkles. Premature aging of themale samples might be caused by longer working hours and heavier smoking habits. Aside from sex and gender,ancestry also contributes to a unique aging pattern of the Javanese, differentiating them from other populations. Thecomplex interaction between both sociocultural and biological factors is significant in forming a certain pattern offacial skin aging in different populations and sexes. Aside from its theoretical contribution to studies on humanbiological variations, this study can be referenced to depict more accurate and appropriate facial features in forensiccases that require facial approximations, especially those involving the Javanese people and the general Indonesianpopulation.

Abstract

Background of the study: Education is a basic human right for all, including persons with disabilities. The right to information for students with disabilities is guaranteed by the national law of the Republic of Indonesia. However, students with disabilities still face discrimination and marginalization on campus that might impede their academic achievement and subjective well-being. Purpose: This study aims to explore information experiences of students with disabilities in Universitas Airlangga, which includes information on university policies, research opportunities, student organizations, and career opportunities. Method: This study employed a mixed-methods approach by conducting in-depth interviews with students with disabilities (n = 5), surveys with non-disabled students (n = 106), and focus group discussions with faculty representatives (n = 10). Findings: This study found that inaccessible information continues to be a problem for students with disabilities. However, some of their non-disabled peers, professors, and staff members have been relatively helpful in navigating their respective campus lives. The commitment to inclusive education is shown by the university and faculties within, but effective and sustainable action is required to tackle these issues. Conclusion: The authors recommend that the university utilize already-existing organizations to conduct workshops and promote inclusive learning on campus.

Abstract

This study explores the informal management system of street vendors operating in Karang Menjangan Street, Surabaya. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three active vendors and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that the street vendors do not form any official community or association, primarily because they experience minimal external pressure, particularly the absence of relocation threats from local authorities. Instead, informal arrangements”such as payments for cleanliness, security, and electricity to the neighborhood association”have served as a substitute for formal organization. Despite the lack of an official community, strong social solidarity and healthy economic competition are present among the vendors. Communication remains effective, mostly occurring face-to-face. However, the study also highlights the exclusion of new or unregistered vendors, indicating the emergence of ingroup-outgroup dynamics. This research contributes to urban anthropology by showing how informal social networks can substitute formal organization, while also raising concerns about inclusivity in urban informal economies.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sistem pengelolaan informal pedagang kaki lima (PKL) di Jalan Karang Menjangan, Kota Surabaya. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap tiga PKL aktif dan dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para PKL tidak memiliki paguyuban resmi, yang diduga disebabkan oleh minimnya konflik dengan aparat pemerintah, khususnya ancaman relokasi. Sebagai gantinya, pembayaran rutin untuk kebersihan, keamanan, dan listrik kepada pihak RT telah menjadi bentuk pengakuan informal atas keberadaan mereka. Meski tanpa paguyuban, solidaritas sosial tetap kuat dan kompetisi ekonomi berlangsung sehat. Namun, ditemukan adanya eksklusi terhadap pedagang baru yang belum terintegrasi secara sosial, menciptakan dinamika ingroup-outgroup. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa jaringan sosial lokal dapat menggantikan peran struktur formal, sekaligus menggarisbawahi pentingnya inklusivitas dalam ekonomi informal perkotaan.

Abstract

International migration concerns the mobilization of individuals from one country to another. The intention of a certain group to participate in an international migration can be understood through various efforts, depending on the methods employed, frameworks used, populations observed, and variables considered. This study tried to identify various factors that influence the decision of prospective migrant workers to migrate out of Indonesia. This quantitative study used a survey method, with the approval of the Department of Manpower and Transmigration of East Java. This study involved 110 prospective migrant workers who filled out open-ended questionnaires. Descriptive analysis of the survey results was reported in the form of tabulations and percentages. The results show that demographic characteristics, such as sex, age, marital status, and destination, contribute to the decision to migrate abroad. Additionally, friends and family who were already working in the destination country were a significant influence. Conclusively, the push and pull factors have three themes, which are personal, social, and economic factors. Various combinations of these factors motivate prospective migrant workers to seek a better fate abroad. This research might help the government and non-governmental organizations to aid prospective migrant workers in managing their expectations and working to achieve their dreams through quality education and skills training for increased productivity.

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the risk and protective factors of Indonesian women migrant workers in Malaysia. The risk factors are variables that contribute to one’s psychological stresses, while the protective factors are variables that contribute to one’s mental stability. The “risk and protective” concept is fluid, relative, and often overlaps according to the individuals and situations. Data for the qualitative study was gathered using semi-structured interviews with five Indonesian women migrant workers in Malaysia. The risk factors include family poverty, poor communication, employee conflicts, and workplace hostility. Expertise and professional experience, as well as family and state support, are identified as protective factors. A combination of both protective and risk factors was also discovered, namely the recruitment and departure processes, educational background, work knowledge, working hours, healthcare access, and coping mechanisms. Understanding these aspects allows individuals to take precautions against problems upon arrival in their destination states. An insight provided by this study might inspire the stakeholders to increase international migrant workers’ protection framework and further ensure their human rights.

Abstract

Within 15 years, the population of Macaca fascicularis has declined rapidly. In early 2022, the IUCN Red List classified them as “Endangered”, though they were considered a species of “Least Concern” in 2008. Land alteration, illegal hunting, and human-macaque conflict often halt long-tailed macaque conservation efforts. Through the Primatology course, anthropology students are taught the importance of macaque conservation and its complications. This preliminary study aims to reveal anthropology students’ knowledge regarding the long-tailed macaque’s status quo and its conservation efforts, pre- and post- their enrolment in the course. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study conducted in-depth interviews with 10 consenting informants—active undergraduate anthropology students. After the transcription process, the data was analyzed by dividing it into multiple subchapters and reviewed with existing literature. More than half of the informants’ knowledge about Macaca fascicularis and primates, in general, is quite satisfactory, though they are still unaware of their current conservation status. According to the informants, cultural and religious factors are closely related to long-tailed macaque conservation, shown in Balinese Hindu temples, Javanese wayang, and topeng monyet. The study concluded that primatology is important because it raises awareness about human’s closest relatives, their ecological significance, and their conservation measures. Adoption or adaptation of the ethnoprimatological framework in biology education as a means of sociocultural exploration and primate conservation is highly recommended. Further research on ethnoprimatology in Indonesia is much needed since Indonesia has many cultural values that might assure the people about contemporary conservation efforts
