Abstract

This study explores the symbolism and socio-cultural functions of Dogdog Lojor, a traditional Sundanese musical instrument that plays a vital role in the Seren Taun ceremony at Kasepuhan Sirna Resmi. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the symbolic meanings, as well as the social, spiritual, and ecological functions of Dogdog Lojor within the cultural framework of the Sundanese indigenous community, while also examining the challenges of its preservation amid modernization and cultural commodification. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing literature review, documentation, and thematic analysis of cultural texts and customary documents. The findings reveal that Dogdog Lojor serves not only as a ritual musical instrument but also as a cosmological symbol representing harmony between humans, nature, and ancestors. Its social function is evident in its role as a unifying force within the community and as a medium for informal cultural education. Furthermore, the use of natural materials and its eco-cultural production practices highlight the instrument’s contribution to environmental preservation. However, the study also identifies a shift in meaning caused by globalization pressures and a weakening of cultural regeneration among younger generations. Therefore, preserving Dogdog Lojor requires participatory, community-based strategies that respect its spiritual and symbolic context. This research is expected to contribute to the development of symbolic anthropology, ethnomusicology, and cultural ecology theories, as well as serve as a foundation for sustainable cultural preservation policies.

Abstract

The phenomenon of out-of-school children (ATS) in Magelang Regency is a serious problem that has an impact on individual and socio-economic development in the region. Although the national education participation rate is increasing, there are still gaps that cause thousands of children to drop out of school, mainly due to economic, socio-cultural, and geographical factors. This study aims to analyze local government policy strategies in alleviating ATS and identify the obstacles faced. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the "Magelang Gumregah Bungah" program was able to reduce the number of ATS from 2,280 children in 2023 to 1,500 children in 2024. The program emphasizes holistic interventions that include educational assistance, community empowerment, and economic support for ATS families. In conclusion, the Magelang Regency government's strategy has shown a positive trend in alleviating ATS, although improvements are still needed in aspects of funding, public awareness, and improvement of education infrastructure.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menyajikan perbandingan kinerja inflasi antara Indonesia dan Thailand periode tahun 2023. Data dan informasi diperoleh melalui studi dokumentasi dan penelitian berbasis internet. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia berhasil menjaga stabilitas inflasi dalam konteks pertumbuhan ekonomi yang kuat, meskipun terdapat tekanan inflasi dari kenaikan harga inti dan harga yang diatur pemerintah. Di sisi lain, Thailand mengalami penurunan signifikan dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi yang dipicu oleh tingkat inflasi yang tinggi, terutama akibat naiknya harga pangan dan energi. Ketidakpastian global, terutama konflik di Ukraina, menjadi faktor penting yang memengaruhi kinerja ekonomi Thailand. Kedua negara memiliki tantangan yang unik dalam mengelola inflasi dan menjaga stabilitas ekonomi mereka.
