Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of political oligarchy on the legislative process and the quality of democracy in the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) during President Jokowi's administration (2019–2024). Employing a qualitative research method based on library studies, the research explores the relationship between political elites and large business groups in shaping public policies. The findings indicate that oligarchy significantly influences policy formation, exemplified by the revisions to the KPK Law, the Minerba Law, and the Omnibus Job Creation Law. These policies often favor elite groups over the broader public. The study also reveals that oligarchic dominance reduces transparency, accountability, and public participation in the legislative process, posing a threat to democratic norms. Furthermore, politicians' reliance on financial support from elite groups reinforces the oligarchy’s role in determining national policy directions. Based on these findings, it is recommended to enhance legislative transparency, strengthen public oversight, and develop inclusive mechanisms for public participation to improve the quality of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

Women's participation in politics in Indonesia is still hampered by a strong patriarchal culture, despite policies that support women's representation. This research aims to analyze the negative comments received by Bebizie Fatlanay, a female legislative candidate from the National Mandate Party (PAN), on Instagram ahead of the 2024 elections. The method used is qualitative with an analytical descriptive approach and literature study. The results showed that negative comments more often attacked personal aspects and undermined women's political abilities, thus reflecting gender stereotypes that are still rooted in society. The conclusion of this study is that patriarchal culture not only affects people's perceptions, but also limits women's participation in politics. The importance of gender education and quota policies is expected to increase support for women legislative candidates and create a more inclusive political environment.

Abstract

This research examines the identity crisis experienced by the Rohingya Ethnic group in Myanmar and how the politicization of identity impacts human rights violations against this minority group. The Main focus of the research is to analyze the politicization process of Rohingya ethnic identity conducted by the Myanmar government through discriminatory policies, as well as to identify its implications for the fulfillment of basic human rights. Using a qualitative approach with literature study methods, this research finds that the Rohingya ethnic identity crisis stems from the Myanmar government's systematic refusal to recognize their existence as an official ethnic group. Identity politicization is reflected through the implementation of the 1982 citizenship law that revokes Rohingya citizenship, restrictions on access to education, health, and employment, as well as acts of violence resulting in mass displacement. The implications of this identity politicization include severe human rights violations such as murder, torture, rape, and village burning that have forced hundred of thousands of Rohingya to seek refuge in neighboring countries. This research concludes that the identity crisis and politicization experienced by the Rohingya ethnic group has created a cycle of violence and ongoing human rights violations that requires serious attention and handling from the international community Keywords : Rohingya, Myanmar, Identity Crisis, Identity Politicization, Human Rights.

Abstract

This article discusses Muslim consumers' perceptions of the boycott of Israeli products. The boycott of Israeli products is a significant global issue, particularly for Muslim consumers. This boycott is a form of global protest Israel's military invasion of the Palestinian people. This protest movement is commonly known as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. In line with this, the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) has issued a halal fatwa regarding products affiliated with Israel. According to MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023 on the Legal Status of Supporting the Palestinian Struggle, it is deemed forbidden (haram) to support Israel's aggression against Palestine, while supporting Palestine's struggle is considered obligatory. This research aims to understand Muslim consumers' perceptions of the boycott of Israeli products. In addition to surveys, literature reviews were conducted to identify the factors influencing consumer decisions. The findings of the study indicate that Muslim consumers tend to avoid Israeli products produced in occupied territories or those known to support Israeli government policies. Muslim consumer purchasing decisions are influenced by the following factors: cultural factors, social factors, personal factors, and psychological factors.

Abstract

Students must possess fundamental mathematical abilities to comprehend and utilize the complex mathematical models that are integral to the understanding of physical concepts. The objective of this study is to analyze the basic mathematical skills of the incoming class of 2023 students enrolled in the Physics Education Study Program at FMIPA UNM, with particular attention to the ongoing impact of the global pandemic. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed with a total of 93 research subjects. The data were collected via multiple-choice tests covering five principal areas: series and numbers, algebra, geometry, group data analysis, and mathematical modeling. The results of the study indicated that the mean student score was 11.27 out of a maximum score of 25, which is indicative of a low ability category. 89.02% of students exhibited a lack of proficiency, with only one individual scoring above 16 points. This low ability presents a significant challenge to learning physics, which requires a firm grasp of mathematical concepts to fully comprehend topics such as mechanics, optics, and thermodynamics. Factors such as the suboptimal quality of mathematics instruction at the high school level and student selection methods that are not tailored to the specific demands of the study program contribute to this outcome. This study proposes the implementation of remedial mathematics programs and curriculum enhancements to enhance the fundamental mathematical competencies of physics students.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the discourse network surrounding the Tabungan Perumahan Rakyat (Tapera) program in online media coverage. Using the Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) method, the research examines the relationships among entities, concepts, and arguments presented in news coverage published between May 27, 2024, and June 10, 2024. A total of 16 articles from nine online media platforms were analyzed, resulting in the identification of 22 concepts and 33 actors actively involved in the discussion. The findings reveal two major groups: supporters and opponents of the Tapera program. Government actors predominantly support the initiative, while political parties and non-governmental organizations express resistance. The study highlights key issues such as program benefits, concerns about forced participation, and transparency. By mapping the discursive dynamics, this research provides valuable insights into how media shapes public opinion and perception of housing policy. The findings underscore the need for enhanced public communication and in-depth policy evaluation to ensure successful implementation.

Introduction highlights the crucial role of rain in maintaining ecosystem balance and supporting life on Earth, serving as a primary source of clean water for various human activities, from dally consumption to agriculture. Without rain, life on this planet would be threatened, as water is essential for all living beings. Rain not only provides the necessary moisture for plant growth but also contributes to the replenishment of groundwater and surface water resources while regulating climate and temperature. Method involves a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature review, collecting data from primary sources such as Tafsir Ilmi Kemenag RI and secondary sources like books and scientific articles discussing the water cycle and relevant Quranic verses. Results and Discussion reveal that the process of rainfall involves three main stages: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, which can be explained both scientifically and through Quranic teachings. Verses such as QS. An-Nur (24:43) and QS. Ar-Rum (30:48) illustrate how Allah directs clouds and utilizes wind to create rain, emphasizing the harmony between natural laws and divine will. Conclusion asserts that Tafsir Ilmi Kemenag RI plays a vital role in bridging the understanding between science and religion, allowing society to appreciate rain not just as a physical phenomenon but also as a manifestation of God's mercy that should be valued and

Abstract

Arts and culture journalism in Indonesia faces major challenges in the era of digital transformation, which is characterized by the lack of regeneration of journalists, the dominance of digital algorithms, and economic pressures that shift the focus of news from the substance of art to entertainment. This research aims to analyze the main challenges in the regeneration of arts and culture journalists, understand the impact of media transformation on art reporting, and offer strategic solutions for the revitalization of arts and culture journalism. Using a case study-based descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with senior cultural arts journalists and founders of digital art news platforms, as well as document analysis and literature reviews. The results show that the main challenges include a lack of economic incentives, the dominance of social media algorithms that prioritize popularity over depth of analysis, and low institutional support for the cultural arts rubric. However, revitalization opportunities can be realized through digital technology-based approaches, creative strategies such as the integration of pop culture and lifestyle, and collaborations between the media, art communities, and educational institutions. This study emphasizes the importance of applying encoding/decoding (Hall) and gatekeeping (McQuail) theories in understanding the paradigm shift in cultural arts journalism in the digital era, as well as offering a strategic framework to create a relevant, inclusive, and sustainable art journalism ecosystem.
