Abstract

The government’s determination of the pandemic status of COVID-19 has changed almost all lines of people’s lives, from the economy, and health infrastructure, to education. The rapid transmission of COVID-19 cases has made the government implement Distance Learning (DL) at all school levels, including elementary school levels. The implementation of DL makes elementary school children potentially experience learning loss. On the other hand, working mothers who are used to handing over educational matters to schools find it difficult to accompany children’s DL at home. Therefore, this study aims to determine the typification of parenting carried out by working mothers in accompanying children’s distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The case study method was used in conjunction with a qualitative descriptive research design. The researchers gathered primary data by interviewing five informants, all of whom were working mothers, as well as one psychologist. The findings revealed that women employ monopoly communication patterns while speaking with their children; mothers are perceived as authorities who make ultimate judgments. Furthermore, helpful and sympathetic communications are used by working mothers. Researchers found three characteristics of working mothers’ care during the pandemic, namely over- empathy, life vest, and supportive.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the contribution of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI)-based political education as social capital that can be utilized by female politicians to increase their participation, influence, and role in politics. The research approach used is qualitative with in-depth interview data collection techniques, focus group discussions with research informants involving female politicians involved in the 2024 election contestation. In addition, literature study documents are also a data collection tool that supports research findings. Data analysis was carried out using coding techniques consisting of three stages, open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The research findings show that the existence of GEDSI political education makes aspects of gender equality, disability inclusion, and social diversity as capital that equips female politicians with the skills to build political strategies, networking skills and overcome structural and cultural barriers in the political system. For female politicians, the implementation of GEDSI political education is used as social capital that distinguishes them from male politicians in advocating policies with a broad perspective in understanding social complexity, thus enabling them to design more responsive and equitable policies. By leveraging the social capital gained from GEDSI education, female politicians can not only strengthen their position on the political stage, but also contribute to creating a more just and representative political governance.

Abstract

This research aims to describe and analyze the mobilization and control of ethnic ties in politics.Ethnic mobilization is prevalent in the era of Indonesian democracy, specifically at local level, as evidenced by the increasing demands for forming new autonomous regions. Various regions implement restrictions on labor externally and prioritize local ethnicities to become civil servants. These phenomena give rise to paguyuban, showing ethnic communities, and political mobilization. Therefore, this study aimed to discuss the phenomena of ethnic mobilization in Batam City, Indonesia. The city has become an industrial region crowded with local and foreign companies, exhibiting contrasting phenomena, such as industrialization, democracy, and ethnic mobilization. Data was collected by interviewing leaders of the North Sumatra Family Association ethnic community, Chair of the Malay Traditional Institution, East Java Community Association, leaders of political parties and members of local parliament (Golkar Party, PDIP, PKS, PSI). The result showed that ethnic mobilization in Indonesian local political occurs by activating differences through politicians. Paguyubans are controlled by leveraging ties, indebtedness, and money political. It persists due to the inheritance from the Dutch colonial government, decentralization that motivates the diversification of local elites, and the needs of local elites to attain political positions. Furthermore, ethnic political is not a phenomenon unique to new democratic states, necessitating a reevaluation of mobilization theories within nations.

Abstract

Conflicts over sea sand mining in Indonesia has intensified over the past ten years as more concessions have been granted to companies engaged in sea sand production. The location of the sea sand mine overlapping with fishermen's fishing grounds and the lack of communication cause conflicts between coastal and small islands society and local governments, as well as companies that hold license or companies that conduct sea sand mining. The sea sand mining conflicts in three provinces has occurred, escalated and reached the stage of violence. The research used a variety of conflict analysis tools to explain the typology, stages, cycles and applicable conflict management. The research used qualitative methods with a multi-special approach and data collection was carried out by interviewing several informants, and researching documentation studies including literature from similar previous research documentation. The research found that the resolution of sea sand mining conflicts that occurred on the islands of Sumatra, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara was competitive with a lose-win orientation. Conflict settlement took place with one party conceding to the other, third-party intervention and consideration on the demand of sea sand market. In three research locations it is known that conflict resolution fails to address the root cause of the issue, causing it to revert to the basic stage of conflict. As a result, at some point, conflict can escalate and become apparent as in line with market demand after the legalization of sea sand exports.

Abstract

Fade haircuts are one of the most popular looks these days. The haircut entails cutting the sides and the back of the head as short as possible and making it transition or "fade" into the longer hair on the head. This article looks at the shared culture of men in a barbershop in Amsterdam Nieuw-West through the theory of cultural capital by Bourdieu. This theory, used to analyze the upper-class French, can be implemented to analyze all kinds of groups and people. Manners, knowledge, behaviors, and skills that a person can tap into to demonstrate one's cultural competence and social status all come together in cultural capital. These beforenamed components are a necessity to be part of the urban middle-class culture.

Abstract

Divorce causes changes in social roles and relationships both in the family and in the society. Readjustment requires greater attention and effort, especially by women, regarding the socio-economic impacts it causes. This research aims at explaing the forms of family social supports and social networks for post-divorce role readjustment. A qualitative approach was used by conducting in-depth interviews with eight deliberately selected participants who had experienced the divorce in the last one to three years and they had children. Social support from family and social networks have a significant positive impact on the post- divorce readjustment process. Key findings highlight that emotional, practical, and informational support and positive feedback play an important role in helping the individuals navigate their complex life changes after the divorce. Parents are the first parties to provide emotional support in the form of empathy, motivation, advice, and a place to share feelings as a form of self-acceptance for the children. Parents are also the source of material support to help finance living needs and child care. Support from social networks includes providing information about available resources or services and advice to overcome the post-divorce difficulties, but there is a relative lack of perceived support and positive responses. This research provides important insights with how social support can facilitate the post-divorce readjustment process and emphasizes the need to integrate the strategies for strengthening the social support into individual readjustment interventions.

Abstract

JADAM is an organic farming method that has been proven to empower farmers, not only allowing farmers to make their own fertilizers and pesticides, but also returning farmers to become experts in agriculture and their own land because of the experiments and introduction of biological potential in the environment they observe. The purpose of this article is to develop a JADAM model that is adjusted to the availability of materials in the surrounding environment. It is done under the concept of organic farming, and community empowerment. This article is developed from the results of a community service activities. The findings of the research show that there are three ways of making organic fertilizer from materials found the surrounding, namely household organic waste, leaf shoots, and a combination of waste to make organic NPK. Another interesting development of the JADAM method is an organic fertilizer that can be drunk, made from fruits and vegetables. It proves that organic fertilizer is more than safe so that it can be drunk.

Abstract

This article explores different types of relationships between widows and their ex-affines and explains the different factors of these relationships among the Sundanese people in rural West Java. The study was conducted by six widows with different experiences of their relationships with their ex-affinal kin using qualitative research methods with a case study approach. For this purpose, in-depth interviews and observational studies were conducted. Based on the results, we conclude that in the context of involuntary endogamous marriages, the relationship between widows and their ex-affinal kin takes the form of (1) friendship, (2) fictive daughter, (3) just another neighbor, (4) hostile neighbor, and (5) total stranger. These results are supported by factors such as (1) past personal relationships between the two people, (2) dependency on old age and social values in elderly care, and (3) the place of origin and residence of ex-husband. The nature of the relationships with ex-affine is not consistent across all categories. Ultimately, the classification of these relationships depends on the widow's specific situation after divorce or the death of her husband.
