Abstract

The Sikka community has a rich cultural heritage, including the traditional Moke drink that enriches their ethnic identity. However, the influence of globalization, such as information technology, social media, international trade, and cultural exchange, has shifted the understanding and practices related to Moke from the previous generation to the younger generation. This study explores Sikka students' understanding and analysis of the moke tradition in the context of social and technological change. The research method used is qualitative, with semi-structured interviews in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara, involving Sikka ethnic students as subjects. The study results indicate that Moke is a drink and an important symbol in maintaining ethnic identity and traditional values. However, the challenges of preserving it in the modern era require adaptation to the dynamics of globalization without sacrificing the richness of this unique local culture.

Abstract

This study examined anxiety and depression symptoms among Indonesian migrant workers in Macau, Hong Kong, and Taiwan during the early COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey of 491 participants revealed prevalence rates of 31.8% for anxiety symptoms and 26.9% for depression symptoms. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis identified predictors for anxiety symptoms: age, marital status, income, education, and Cantonese fluency. Depression symptoms predictors included age, marital status, and English and Cantonese fluency. Older, married individuals with higher income, education, and language proficiency were less likely to experience anxiety or depression symptoms. These findings contribute to understanding mental health challenges faced by migrant workers during the early pandemic and can inform post-crisis interventions and future public health planning. Stakeholders should consider these results to develop more inclusive strategies for migrant workers in similar situations.
