Has poverty allieviation been carried out by the Government of Grobogan Regency already taken into account the interests and needs of men and women proportionally? Based on the analysis above, it can be concluded that poverty reduction in Grobogan District has not maximally taken into account the interests of women and men proportionally. In the economic field, women’s ability to access capital has not run smoothly, because some savings and loan businesses managed by women have not run smoothly. In the field of education, women still lag behind men in indicators of long-term school expectations. Likewise the condition of women’s education is still lagging behind that of men, which has an impact on the opportunity to get decent income. Women’s income is lower than that of men. In the field of health and clean water women are still vulnerable to maternal mortality and environmental hygiene.

This paper explores laugh as an aural and hearing experience in our everyday communication. So far, most of studies understood laugher by its causality explanation and has been paying less attention to the context that laughter is a form of non-verbal and aural experience. We assume that laughter has certain indexicality dimension and social significance to convey meanings and certain sociality in communication. This research tries to develop the method to use audio/ sound in research and how it will be presented in our academic writing and discourses. This study uses ethnographic methods to emphasize the direct subject participation by recording the conversation process. After that, these recordings are transformed into phonography—since this transcription itself is problematic—to understand the intentions and attentions of laughter as well as to decipher the meaning of sound. The results show that laughter has an indexicality dimension to convey implicit meaning. It appears from the intentions of laugh level present(ed) in each specific moment in communication. As we found in some cases, there are different levels of intention to provoke particular attention: audience’s sign to the performer, lessen the formality in a formal meeting, mediating and recalling memory in everyday conversation, and the intention to make friends. Therefore, laugh has different social significances and intentions in everyday interaction and communication. It is not only serve as the sound of liberation or something to make someone feels freer.

The ineffectiveness of government and company communication in managing conflict potentials made coastal communities perceived the sea sand mining activities negatively. Coastal communities fought for their interests in various forms namely demonstrations, anarchism, social conflict between layers and human rights violations. The most active community groups were fishermen because sea sand mining had caused technical problems with fishing and decrease in income. The conflicting parties communicated with each other openly, defensively and in confrontational way. The practice of communication in resolving conflicts ran less effectively because the government and the company did not involve conflicting parties through communication to resolve the conflict. The research findings are the basis of understanding to manage potential conflicts and its escalations through appropriate communication to reach consensus to realize convergence of interests.

Data on violence against children are only a few reported but in reality more than reported. School is one of the locations of acts of violence against children. Preventing violence against children cannot just be handed over to the police, but must involve other education stakeholders in the school. This paper looks at the role of education stakeholders in preventing violence in schools. A qualitative approach used to understand the problems be researched, data taken by the use of in-depth interviews and obeservasi. The research was done in senior high shool  "X" Bukitinggi City and  senior high school  "X" Padang City. A description of the cases of violence that occurred at school and the way in which schools dealt with them gave an indication that education stakeholders had a sufficient role in overcoming or preventing violence. However, education stakeholders are less empowered in carrying out this role. Education stakeholders actually have the strength and authority but are less brave to use these powers and authorities to take action that can reduce or prevent acts of violence against children in school. Although their roles, duties and functions are clearly regulated in existing government regulations.  ÂÂ

The foundation of this study is political anthropology to see the phenomenon of ethnicity in local politics in the era of democratic decentralization. The study focused on ethnic cleavages in the form of strengthening social units that appear through descendant and clan sentiments at the moment of the Pemilukada (Local Executive Election). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon of ethnic cleavages which highlights descendant and clan sentiments in four districts in north of Tapanuli in the Pemilukada. Local politics at the time of democratic decentralization was not only used to expand the four cultural areas, namely Silindung, Humbang, Toba and Samosir, but also strengthen descent and clan sentiments in the Pemilukada. Although, the population in these four regions is a Toba ethnic group, its members destabilize and negate each other. This phenomenon originated from the domination of Silindung from the colonial era to the Reformation. Through Pemilukada, the descent and clan sentiments are used to blockade other candidates as well as mobilize selecting candidates from similar groups and clans. The promise of Pemilukada is channeled through a monopoly to fill government positions from one lineage group and clan. The approach of this problem is used Dunning and Harrison's theory about Cross-Cutting Cleavages and Ethnic Voting. The data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with subjects, namely descendants and clans in four districts in north of Tapanuli. The results of the study show that: (i) ethnic cleavages occur because of the utilization and mobilization of social units namely descent and clan groups in the moment of Pemilukada, (ii) the strengthening of descent and clan group sentiments in Pemilukada is the impact of competition and contestation which are packaged as political capital for gained power, and (ii) political actors redefined ethnicity as 'Orang Toba' to smaller identities namely descendants and clans in each cultural region. The Toba ethnic groups are more loyal to their descendants and clan identities than their identities as 'Orang Toba'. Although the political analysis of the flow was considered less relevant as a result of the strengthening of the issue of interest in the Pemilukada, but the strengthening of division in ethnicity became a strong indication of ethnic cleavages and the game of primordialism during the Pemilukada.
