Stunting is a condition of child growth failure with height measurement indicators caused by chronic nutritional problems. One of the traditions that still exists in Madura, especially in Pamekasan Regency, is the traditional settlement of tanean lanjhang and also the tradition of child marriage. This study was conducted to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the incidence of stunting in tanean lanjhang families. The sample of this study included children who were categorized as stunted in 5 hamlets in Gugul village, Tlanakan sub-district, Pamekasan Regency, with a total sample of 51 people with data collection techniques using interviews and measurements. Determination of informants using cluster sampling method, namely several mothers who have stunted toddlers and also the village midwife. The results showed that boys who were categorized as stunted and lived in tanean lanjhang were 11 out of 22, while girls who were categorized as stunted and lived in tanean lanjhang were 14 out of 22 children. Tanean lanjhang as a settlement tradition in Madura affects the parenting of children or grandchildren. Keywords: stunting, tanean lanjhang, child marriage. There is no significant difference between those who live in tanean lanjhang and those who do not. The daily expenditure factor is not too different because the majority of expenditures are around Rp. 50,000 / day. Then, the parenting factor affects the incidence of stunting, because of the difference between less parenting and good parenting on the incidence of stunting. There is a difference in the provision of complementary food for children between those who live in tanean lanjhang and those who do not, the provision of complementary food for children living in tanean lanjhang is mostly at the age of under 6 months, so these results can affect the incidence of stunting in children.

Abstract

Penelitian ini berlatar belakang dari Program Keluarga Berencana (KB) yang umumnya diikuti oleh perempuan kini juga dapat melibatkan laki-laki melalui metode vasektomi atau Metode Operasi Laki-laki (MOP). Partisipasi laki-laki sebagai akseptor ini menunjukkan bahwa peran mereka sama pentingnya dengan perempuan dalam mendukung keberhasilan program KB pemerintah Situbondo, yang memiliki angka tertinggi peserta vasektomi di Jawa Timur, menjadi wilayah yang relevan untuk diteliti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami dinamika relasi kuasa terkait penetapan KB vasektomi di Kabupaten Situbondo. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif menggunakan wawancara mendalam agar berhasil mengungkap seluruh informasi dengan deskripsi analisis yang detail dan purposive sebagai metode penentuan informan. Penelitian ini menemukan penentuan praktik KB vasektomi di Kabupaten Situbondo dalam pengembangan Teori Michel Foucault. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa relasi kuasa dalam penentuan praktik KB vasektomi merupakan hasil interaksi yang dinamis antara berbagai bentuk kuasa, meliputi pengetahuan yang disebarkan oleh lembaga kesehatan, pertimbangan ekonomi, dan dinamika kuasa dalam relasi sosial.

Abstract

Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi internalisasi nilai-nilai Bushido dalam komunitas atlet karate di Makassar, khususnya di lingkungan Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa (UKM) Karate Universitas Hasanuddin. Bushido, sebagai filosofi hidup yang berakar dari etika samurai Jepang, mencakup prinsip-prinsip seperti kehormatan, kesetiaan, keberanian, dan disiplin. Nilai-nilai ini tidak hanya membentuk teknik dan keterampilan fisik para karateka, tetapi juga karakter dan etika mereka dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Melalui pendekatan etnografi, tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai Bushido menemukan harmoni dengan budaya lokal Makassar, terutama nilai sipakatau (saling menghargai) dan siri' na pacce (harga diri dan empati). Integrasi ini memperkaya pengalaman para atlet karate, menjadikan karate sebagai sarana pengembangan diri yang komprehensif dan berbasis moral. Hasil tulisan ini mengungkap bahwa nilai-nilai Bushido dan budaya lokal saling mendukung dalam membentuk pribadi yang beretika, bertanggung jawab, serta memiliki kesadaran sosial yang tinggi, baik di dalam dojo maupun dalam kehidupan sosial. Dengan demikian, karate di Makassar berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai latihan bela diri, tetapi juga sebagai media pembentukan karakter yang memungkinkan atlet tumbuh menjadi individu yang tangguh, bermartabat, dan empatik, sesuai dengan nilai-nilai luhur yang dihidupi dalam komunitas.

Abstract

 The evolution of the Korean music industry, or K-Pop, has now become a global phenomenon. K-Pop hastranscended boundaries, not only as a genre of music but also as a medium capable of conveying messages andcritiques on societal issues. (G)I-DLE’s 2022 song “Nxde” stands out in this regard, addressing body image andchallenging stereotypes related to women’s representation. This study investigates how “Nxde” deconstructs bodyimage stereotypes and critiques the objectification of women within K-Pop and broader media cultures. UsingCharles Morris's semiotic analysis, this research examines syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of the song'slyrics and imagery, positioning "nude" as a symbol of self-authenticity that opposes superficial standards oftenimposed on female idols. Findings indicate that “Nxde” aims to empower women by redefining nudity as anexpression of authenticity. As seen in society, the meaning of nudity is often only considered as sexualized andinappropriate norms. While this also raises questions about the potential contradictions between feminist messagesthat may still conform to patriarchal standards. In conclusion, “Nxde” exemplifies K-Pop's dual role as both aplatform for progressive social commentary and a potential reinforcer of traditional beauty norms. The studysuggests that songs like “Nxde” can stimulate discourse on body image and foster more nuanced representations ofwomen. However, the findings also underscore the complexities of using provocative imagery to convey messagesof empowerment, highlighting the need for further research into media’s influence on gender perceptions.

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

Terjadi (atau setidaknya pernah) di berbagai negara di seluruh dunia, penurunan angka kelahiran menjadi salah satu topik yang banyak dibahas. Salah satu yang mengalami adalah Negara Jepang, yang pada tahun 2022 mengesahkan sebuah undang-undang yang mendasari terbentuknya sebuah lembaga baru yang disebut Children and Families Agency dan mulai aktif pada tahun 2023. Langkah ini menunjukkan keseriusan pemerintah Jepang untuk menghadapi fenomena ini, yang disebut sebagai shoushika dalam Bahasa Jepang, juga menunjukkan adanya urgensi yang muncul akibat fenomena ini dalam perspektif pemerintah Jepang. Di samping itu, konsepsi mengenai sesuatu menjadi hal yang penting dalam menghadapi masalah atau mewujudkan suatu hal. Berkaitan dengan hal ini, tulisan ini mencoba untuk memahami bagaimana pemerintah Jepang mengonsepsikan fenomena shoushika, juga mengonsepsikan permasalahan shoushika dan solusinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis konten, dengan data primer berupa data tekstual yang diambil dari laman resmi Children and Families Agency dan data sekunder dari laman resmi lembaga pemerintahan Jepang atau studi literatur untuk memahami secara komprehensif dan kontekstual. Dengan menggunakan data tersebut dan melalui analisis konten, studi ini berkesimpulan bahwa shoushika telah menjadi sebuah masalah nasional yang sangat serius bagi pemerintah Jepang. Permasalahan ini didasarkan pada kondisi konstruksi sosial yang perlu diubah melalui solusi-solusi yang didasarkan melalui langkah legal-formal seperti pengesahan UU atau peraturan lainnya.

Abstract

This study explores how Minangkabau perantauan (migrant) communities in Bekasi, West Java, reinterpret the traditional circulating connubium, a system of marital alliances between matrilineal clans, through adaptive practices such as the Bajapuik dowry tradition and intra-group clans’ marriage. Using a focused ethnographic approach, we conducted a series of preliminary, informant identification, and data collection through observation and in-depth interviews with members of the Pariaman community. While classical structural anthropology models frame the Minangkabau kinship through ideally exogamous marriage rules, we document how urban migrants strategically modify these norms to sustain matrilineal identity. Ethnographic data reveal that prohibited unions (e.g., Koto-Piliang marriages) and flexible Bajapuik payments reflect what we call the flexibility of connubium: a dynamic process wherein adat (custom) persists through selective adaptation rather than cultural erosion. Theoretically, we extend Sahlins’ (2013) notion of “mutuality of being” to argue that these practices embed migrants into shared existential projects, transcending geographic displacement. Our findings challenge the assumptions that urbanization erodes tradition, showing instead how kinship evolves through sasamo awak (“among our own”) alliances that prioritize clan solidarity over classical exogamy.
