Abstract

Adolescents' involvement as perpetrators of criminality in Indonesia has gone beyond the patterns of deviant behavior and actions categorized as juvenile delinquency. Adolescents' involvement as perpetrators of criminality has not been given much scientific attention in previous studies. This study focuses on the question, "How is the involvement of adolescents as perpetrators of criminality that occurs in Indonesia?" This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to exploring the forms, characteristics, and factors that influence a teenager to become a perpetrator of criminality disseminated through online media coverage. The collection and reading of online news focused on news titles containing criminality cases involving teenagers by using the search keyword "Involvement of teenagers as perpetrators of criminality in Indonesia" on the Google search engine. The findings in this study show that the involvement of teenagers as perpetrators of criminality has gone beyond the deviant behavior patterns of juvenile delinquency. The context can be reflected through the forms and characteristics of the acts committed by teenagers, ranging from maltreatment, drug abuse, to murder. This study also recommends the importance of looking at the welfare of adolescents as perpetrators of criminality and the law enforcement process to obtain a comprehensive and more empirical understanding.

Abstract

This research focuses on the perspective of indigenous ecologies to see how the Lembata people maintain and care for their relationship with nature. The research located in the Lebatukan District highlands area of Lembata Regency in East Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. The Lo Tiwa ritual is carried out by the Lembata people when pests attack their crops. When snails were attacking rice plants, people realized that they could eradicate the slugs through modern ways. However, they also realized that with the pesticide technology, the life of snails was threatened with extinction, which is considered unwise in preserving the local environment. Instead, they raised this issue on the altar of the Lo Tiwa ritual. In this way, preserving the relationship between humans and nature has happened, which is an integral part of environmental studies. Snails as pests are not killed, and rice plants are free from pests. In the Indonesian context, this research finds its context in efforts to promote a culture where the government wants to place culture, including rituals, as one of the essential forces in development. Apart from rituals, other cultural promotion objects include; oral traditions, manuscripts, customs, folk games, traditional sports, traditional knowledge, arts, and languages.

Abstract

Tagi Jere in the Tidore language means to visit the tomb of a saint. This ritual usually begins with certain preparations and is then followed by a visit to the Jere such as Jere Sultan Babullah, Jere Doe-doe, Jere Laboso, Jere Amo, Jere Tui, and Jere Wange Lamo. Tagi Jere is carried out as an expression of gratitude to God for the blessings that have been given. In addition, the Tagi Jere ritual is also carried out under certain conditions, such as crop failure, or as an antidote to distress or disaster. The researcher was interested in seeing the Tagi Jere ritual in the Tidore ethnic community in Ternate, especially in the Foramadiahi sub-district, using a qualitative approach. The interpretation of the data in the field shows that the Tagi Jere ritual is used as a request by the community based on their respective intentions. They brought Boso Kene (small pots of earthenware) containing Bira Kuraci (yellow rice) which they brought to the visited Jere. The Tagi Jere ritual also has a social value to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood that are manifested in mutual cooperation activities. The rituals performed by the Tidore ethnic community in various circles are preserved from generation to generation.

Abstract

This journal aims to analyze the role of national identities in international relations through research on the Polewali Mandar International Folk & Art Festival (PIFAF), which is held in Barat Island. The current study makes use of a qualitative methodology and focuses on three principles of diplomacy in the realm of business, namely, mutual understanding dialogue, culture of exchange, and cross-border collaboration. This study clarifies how PIFAF functions as a crucial platform for enhancing regional identity and tying it in with international connections. This festival creates a space for the discussion of religious ideas, helps to reduce negative bias, and promotes religious understanding among international participants by showcasing festival essentials such as local cuisine, music, dance, and traditional rituals to foreign visitors. Such a plan creates new opportunities for positive public diplomacy. The four-point collaboration principle is explained in the PIFAF context. Through collaboration, this festival gives local educators and senior citizens a chance to interact with international partners and foster knowledge and creativity that can increase worldwide awareness of global development issues. All of the analysis indicates that PIFAF plays a significant role in developing strong local identities and, occasionally, creating new standards for international joint work. The principles of diplomacy in religion that are presented at this festival provide a starting point for understanding religious texts that are more widely accepted among many religious groups, have the potential to strengthen international relations, and encourage more intense global cooperation.

Abstract

The Kangean Islands, Madura, serve as a transit hub for traders and fishermen from various regions, including the Bugis ethnic that migrated to the Kangean Islands in the past few decades. Interaction and adaptation carried out by the Bugis ethnic and native in the Kangean islands is able  to bridge the differences between these ethnicities.This article analyses the structural assimilation of the Bugis  community with the natives on the Kangean island, especially at the grassroots level. This research  used the fenomenology approach. Data collection is conducted through in-depth interviews. The findings proved that the process of cultural assimilation of Sulawesi culture in Kangean island, particularly in the Arjasa sub-district can be considered successful, especially when observing the limited conflicts that occur. Structural assimilation has reached a broader scale, encompassing the participation of Bugis community in various aspect. In education, interactions with Bugis culture primarily occur informally in activities organized by the Sulawesi Student Association. In economic, structural assimilation is evident in the mutual acceptance of job opportunities and interdependence in economic resources. Within governmental institutions and organizations, assimilation is achieved by building awareness and understanding of ethnic diversity, maintaining a balance of governance rights between Kangean and Bugis people.  The Kangean Islands, Madura, serve as a transit hub for traders and fishermen from various regions, including the Bugis ethnic that migrated to the Kangean Islands in the past few decades.

Cancel culture is a phenomenon that creates space for individuals to voice opinions and evaluate behavior that is considered to violate values and norms. Cancel culture can move in two directions, Cyberbullying and Social control. To study cancel culture in Indonesia, there are 5 viral cases (September-November 2023), namely: (1) The case of Pandawara's feud with the Loji Sukabumi Beach government, (2) The ice-cream case by Oklin Fia, (3) The case of abuse committed by members' children. DPR RI, (4) Case of bullying of Cilacap Middle School students, (5) Case of Palestine and Israel. This research explores the direction of cancel culture in Indonesian society, the role of social media and its impact. Using netnography, ten informants were interviewed, and sentiment analysis on Instagram and Analysis using the Naive Bayes model shows that of the 10 social media platforms, 8 of them are cyberbullying and the other 3 are social control. Social media acts as a catalyst for cancel culture in the rapid dissemination of information and the formation of public opinion. The consequences of cancel culture include boycotts, decreased product sales, and prolonged online debates.

Abstract

Cancer prevalence in Indonesia presents a substantial challenge to healthcare, particularly affecting the young-adult demographic. As survival rates improve due to advancements in treatment, the long-term quality of life (QOL) for survivors becomes increasingly paramount. This qualitative study explores the social representation of acupuncture among young-adult cancer survivors in Jakarta, analyzing its role in managing persistent side effects post-treatment. In-depth interviews with five survivors reveal acupuncture as a multifaceted intervention perceived as less invasive and more aligned with natural bodily processes compared to conventional therapies. Findings indicate that acupuncture is not only employed to alleviate physical symptoms such as pain and fatigue but also to address psychological and cognitive repercussions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Furthermore, acupuncture is appreciated for its cultural resonance within the Indonesian context, offering a sense of balance and well-being. Despite its less prominent role as an alternative therapy, acupuncture provides a sense of empowerment and control, enhancing adherence to treatment protocols and potentially improving survival outcomes. The study concludes that acupuncture represents a critical element of post-cancer care, advocating for an integrated, patient-centered approach that incorporates complementary and alternative medicines to support the comprehensive needs of cancer survivors. However, the study's scope is limited to a small sample size and a single urban setting, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Further research is needed to validate these results in broader populations and diverse contexts.

Abstract

This study focuses on looking at the cultural dimension, promoting and spreading joy, and creating mental health in urban communities. The specific aim is that if mental health problems and stress are not handled properly, it can have a bad impact, especially when seen in urban communities, which are very busy and have very complex problems, and one of the things that is done to strengthen this is by holding social gathering activities. In the cultural dimension, of course, this is very interesting, as seen from the activities in urban areas carried out by mothers who provide and promote mental health in urban communities. This research is qualitative, carried out through observations and interviews with 18 informants. The results of this research found that the practice of social gathering is one of the solutions and interventions for maternal mental health in urban areas, and urban mothers can improve their quality of life. The meetings held provided solutions for their lives and improved their quality of life. This research contributes to the development of knowledge in the realm of health anthropology regarding the strategies and solutions used by mothers in urban areas to achieve good mental health.
