Abstract

This study focuses on the issue of child stunting in Pinang Kencana Village, East Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. One of the main causes of stunting is improper parenting due to a lack of knowledge regarding children's health patterns and weak parenting practices. In addition, there is a lack of supervision from health authorities which results in ineffective handling of stunting cases. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research method and uses Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckman's theories to understand the social constructs surrounding stunting. The findings suggest that continuous efforts are needed to interpret and cultivate meaning in order to address the issue of stunting.

Abstract

Land conflicts are often encountered in both urban and rural areas, accompanied by their diversity. For example, conflicts between the community and developers from a private company with the initials PT NSA, as well as local governments who participate in supporting the road function conversion that occurred in Sungai Langkai Sub-district, RT002/RW007, Batam City. The land problem resulted in changes in road access function that did not comply with the site plan in that area. This conversion led the community to take various rejection actions to maintain the function of the roadside in accordance with the established land rules for the comfort of their living environment. This study aims to determine the demands made by the community to maintain the function of the roadside. The data collection techniques used in this study were structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. This study uses Lewis Alfred Coser's theory which views conflicts not only as negative but also positive. The findings of this study describe negative impacts. In addition, conflicts also have positive impacts on community groups in carrying out their demands, such as building stronger solidarity by holding meetings to determine the strategies to be taken and the spirit of the residents to help each other, whether in the form of money, time, or transportation.

Abstract

Gambling is becoming a common phenomenon in daily life, particularly among children who have been exposed to mobile devices through online learning. Online gambling has become a habit even after the shift to face-to-face learning, leading to addiction among students. This study employs a review of social behavior to identify the causes of online gambling addiction in children at Rejai Middle School using qualitative research with a descriptive design. The results reveal that self-desire is a major factor causing addiction, with students seeking to acquire chips that can be exchanged for money to alleviate boredom. Socialization agents also play a role, with students influenced by peers who win and receive benefits from online gambling, and feel inferior when they do not participate. Mass media also contributes to addiction, with online advertisements and information available through the internet. Environmental factors, such as access to online gambling facilities and lack of monitoring, and family factors, such as parents' lack of monitoring and siblings' participation, also contribute to addiction. The loose school factor also impacts addiction, as schools do not strictly prohibit access to online gaming.

Abstract

Indonesia has an incredibly diverse culture. This cultural diversity can also realize the representation of culture for the purpose of forming national identity. National identity can use various symbols such as language symbols, traditional dances, and other symbols. Ulos, in this case, is also a symbol used by the Batak community. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method. The results of the study show that: (1) Ulos cannot be separated from the lives of the Batak Toba people because it is an ancestral heritage from ancient times; (2) The symbolic meaning of ulos generally consists of three parts, namely hapal (thick) which provides warmth for the body and soul for those who receive it, sitorop rambu (many signs on the end of ulos) which means to obtain many offspring for those who receive it, and ganjang (long) which means a long life for those who receive it; (3) In every traditional ceremony of the Batak Toba community, the use of ulos is always present because ulos has become an identity for the Batak Toba community. Ulos as an identity for the Batak Toba community can be seen from the type of ulos worn by an individual.
