Abstract:

Nowadays, the relationship between youth and religious radicalism becomes a hot spot along the phenomenon of their increasing involvement in various acts of violence in the name of religion. Many reports indicate a significant increase in radicalization among young people led by terrorist organizations, both internationally and locally. In contrast to various studies that favor the study of contemporary Muslim youth relations with religious radicalism, this paper focuses on youth activism in stemming the flow of radicalism through tarekat (sufi order). In Indonesia, tarekat began to be an alternative choice in offsetting the current of radicalization that massively targeted the young. One of his concrete forms appears in the Mahasiswa Ahlith Thariqah Al Mu’tabarah An Nahdliyyah (MATAN). Using phenomenology, this study looks at MATAN that designed as a youth organization specifically based on the tarekat mu’tabarah in response to the phenomenon of radicalism and positivism among students and youth. The results show that MATAN seeks to balance the intellectuality and spirituality among youth with a claim of loyalty to the moderate, tolerant, inclusive and consistent (in shari’a, tariqa, and ma’rifa) as well as maintaining state awareness based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. This last point then animates every MATAN fellow to be awake towards religious radicalization efforts. In the end, the findings of this study confirm some studies and surveys conducted in the context of Morocco, Algeria, and Mali which concluded that the tarekat is a new fondness and is believed to be the savior of youth from religious extremism. read more

Abstract:

Intentional ambiguities are frequently used as humor by many entertainment media to maintain its serious nuance. However, since they are ambiguous, most of the humor fails to be recognized by audience. Under this circumstance, the researcher is attracted to analyze humorous ambiguities found in each season of ?Sherlock Holmes BBC Series’ and how they produce humor as they violate Grice’s maxims of Cooperative Principle. There found three from four maxims violated by Sherlock to produce ambiguities as humor. Those are maxim of quantity, maxim of relation, and maxim of manner. By violating those maxims, utterances become ambiguous and construct several possible meanings which are potentially humorous. The study is expected to improve entertainment media’s creativity to produce similar kinds of humor. At the same time, it offers a great help for the audience to recognize and understand ambiguities, thus regain them better sense of humor. read more

Abstract:

Border regions are a paramount manifestation of state sovereignty. Border regions are also strategic and vital in terms of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia framework for promising opportunities due to geographical matters. So it is politically necessary to pay particular attention to border areas to maintain sovereignty. Indonesia, as a sovereign state, has responsibilities toward its border region. This research paper aims to study the potential and challenges of border regions, specifically in Temajuk Village which share a border with Kampong Telok Melano, Sarawak Malaysia. The research is based on legal parameters. The data collection method is mainly focused on literature resources. Additionally, the author performed field observation to obtain primary, secondary, and non-legal material. These materials were then analyzed using the qualitative method. The results of field observation showed that ineffective management of Temajuk as a border region has triggered across sector problems as well as challenges toward national security. These problems impact cross-border settlement and farming, smuggling of commercial products and services (beyond bilateral threshold), international marriage without following legal procedures, foreign influence infiltration, and undocumented residences or immigrants. Ultimately, the author highly recommends the Indonesian government should necessarily pay high attention to border region management, set action plans and take prominent steps particularly in accelerating the leading sector of border region, considering its significance in line with holistic approaches toward the livelihood of local communities. read more

Abstract:

Peoples still widely consumed drinking water from not guaranteed sources. This generally occurs in rural areas that not reached by adequate sanitation infrastructure, but also can occur in urban areas too, especially in densely populated areas and slums. To meet their daily needs of water for drinking and other domestic purposes, people use groundwater obtained from dug wells. Their assumption was the quality of groundwater from wells was much better than utilizing surface water. The research objectives: evaluate the groundwater quality related to the possibility polluted by domestic waste; and find out the community knowledge and perception. The research method was survey. Primary data obtained from field measurement and laboratory test. Sampling technique by purposive, done for two variables, groundwater sample and community as respondents and informants. Secondary data obtained from the relevant government agencies and research reports. Analysis data used were descriptive qualitativequantitative, as well as the correlation test of significance. The results showed majority of groundwater samples quality still in good condition, only the bacterial content exceeded the allowable quality standards. People?s knowledge and perception toward environmental sanitation and water quality showed high enough of knowledge level and good perception. They belief that a clean environment can make their lives better, but the fact, in the level of practical action, quite members of community does not carry out activities that included in the category of clean and healthy living behavior. read more

Abstract:

Student brawls that lead to criminal activities called klithih (a Javanese term for violence among teenage students) is currently rampant in Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY). This condition cannot be separated from the weakening role of families and schools in nurturing the students. In general, teenagers need their existence to be acknowledged in their struggle for identity. Their self and group existence needs to be shown, so that other teenagers or groups will not look down on them. The teenagers? failure in the process of their identity search is what plunges them in deviant behaviors such as engaging in brawls. The rapid social change through information technology and the cultural change from agrarian to industrial society are suspected to be the causes of the waning parenting and relations among family members. The parenting style that initially focused on families when society was agrarian has shifted to a style that delegates the parenting role to the formal education in the current industrial society. In light of this situation, this research aimed to develop a model of relationships between students? parents and schools in order to handle student brawls. This research utilized a qualitative and a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis technique. The result showed that 65.6% of the community of Yogyakarta stated or agreed that group violence especially klithih had increased in the last year, and the main cause was the weakening role of parents (65.5%) and schools (39.6% %). The negative action, klithih, is a manifestation of improper identity searching because it demonstrates a lack of self-control. The process of searching for self-identity among teenagers requires assistance from the closest people, especially family. However, some informants whose children were involved in klithih stated that they did not need to accompany and guide their teenage children in searching their identity because they believed that their children should be independent. Therefore, efforts must be made to create a good synergy between the school and parents in handling student brawls. One example is improving good communication between the two parties in coaching and supervising teenage students, especially through a model of personal communication involving information technology. read more
