Islamic Law Meets Minangkabau Customs: Navigating Forbidden Marriages in Tanah Datar

Minangkabau community members in Tanah Datar have several prohibitions on marriage that must be obeyed and become standard rules because they contain sanctions of expulsion or ostracism. The prohibitions include marrying a cousin (father's sibling's child), marrying the ex-wife mamak (a man who is responsible for his children and nieces and nephews from the mother's side), and marrying the ex-wife's family. It indicates a contradiction between the provisions of Islamic law and customary law, which is very binding on the order of social life. The research aims to analyze the relationship between custom and Islamic law regarding the forbidden marriage that applies in Tanah Datar, which still maintains local culture and traditions. The method used empirical legal research with a socio-legal approach. Primary data was obtained using observation, interview, and documentation techniques, which were then analyzed using the maqashid sharia theory. The research showed that the Minangkabau community's prohibition on marriage in Tanah Datar is a customary rule that must be obeyed because it is a good habit ('urf) that aims to prevent damage to the social order in Minangkabau. Minangkabau society prioritizes the value of raso-pareso and friendly relationships between one person and another under the goals of marriage in Islamic law. These customary provisions are binding. If there is a violation, then customary sanctions are imposed in the form of exclusion, expulsion, and fines

Syncretism of Tahlilan Ritual in Islam and Consolation Worship in Protestant Christianity in the Slametan Tradition as a Reflection of Interfaith Harmony

The Tradition of tahlilan in Islam and consolation worship in Protestant Christianity serve as both social and spiritual rites to pray for the deceased and provide comfort to the bereaved family. This study aims to examine the syncretism of Javanese death rituals contained in tahlilan and consolation worship from the perspectives of Islam and Protestant Christianity within the selametan tradition. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing primary data sources and analyzing them through Arnold Van Gennep's anthropological theory, the rites of passage. The study's findings indicate that there is syncretism between the tahlilan ritual in Islam and the worship service of consolation in Protestant Christianity within the selametan tradition. Although there are theological differences, both rituals emphasize social and humanitarian aspects, offering empathy and solidarity to the bereaved family. Tahlilan reflects the Islamic belief in the importance of prayer for the soul of the deceased, while the worship service of consolation provides spiritual support and assurance of resurrection in Christianity. This syncretism demonstrates the openness of religious rituals to adapt, creating interfaith harmony and combining religious practices with the local Javanese culture

Exploring teachers’ corrective feedback in EFL classrooms: Pre-service teachers’ reflections

Despite the growing body of research on corrective feedback in foreign language learning, there remains a gap in understanding the specific strategies utilized by EFL teachers as observed by pre-service teachers firsthand. Based on the observed experiences of EFL pre-service teachers during their observational field teaching practice, this study aims to analyze how English teachers give their corrective feedback. This study employed a qualitative research approach with a case study design. Eleven Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers who had finished their field teaching practice were involved in the study. The qualitative data were gathered using reflective Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and semi-structured interviews. The result of qualitative data analysis revealed three emerging themes of teachers’ corrective feedback: explicit correction, recasting, and metalinguistic. The findings showed that teachers regularly use direct corrective feedback in their instructional context. These insights enable foreign language educators to choose appropriate feedback strategies based on learners’ needs, enhancing teaching practices, learner outcomes, and teacher training programs

Incorporating local content stories into innovative e-book development for high school students in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Many studies have shown the enhancement of student engagement by integrating local content into digital learning resources. However, little is known about the interactively and culturally relevant materials in incorporating customizable and engaging content for students. The present study aims to develop an e-book focusing on narrative texts that incorporate local content stories for high school students in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This research and development study utilized the ADDIE model and TPACK framework. The research involved 35 students in the eleventh grade at the senior high school. It also involved three English teachers and three external validators. Data were garnered through questionnaires, observations and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics analysis, and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results show that expert validation indicated high-quality media presentation and local content integration. In addition, students’ feedback revealed a remarkable attractiveness, suggesting that the e-book significantly enhances educational outcomes. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of the ADDIE model and TPACK framework in creating relevant learning experiences. The study underscores the importance of integrating local content in digital educational tools, offering broad implications for curriculum development and the creation of engaging culturally relevant educational materials

Development of Sensory Mat Learning Media to Train Motor Skills at TK IT Kautsar Ilmi Tanjung Raja

This study was motivated by the ability of motor movement in IT Kautsar Ilmi Kindergarten Tanjung Raja, Ogan Ilir Regency, which has not developed optimally.

Efek Hipoglikemia Formula Herbal Antidiabetes Pada Tikus Diabetes Yang Diinduksi Alloxan

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efek hipoglikemia formula herbal antidiabetes secara in vivo. Herbal yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu simplisia daun kencana wungu, kayu secang, kayu manis, dan daun jati cina, dengan formula rasio yang digunakan 5:2:2:1 (F5221) dan rasio 3:3:2:2 (F3322). Sebanyak 12 tikus betina strain wistar dikelompokkan menjadi empat kelompok dengan jumlah masing-masing kelompok 3 ekor tikus. Kelompok perlakuan antara lain tikus normal, tikus diabetes mellitus (DMT2), tikus DMT2+ F3322, dan tikus DMT2+F5221. Tikus model diabetes mellitus diinduksi dengan menginjeksikan 175 mg/Kg BB alloxan secara subkutan dan melakukan observasi kadar glukosa darah 3 – 6 hari setelah injeksi. Selanjutnya tikus model diabetes diberikan formula herbal F3322 dan F5221 2x sehari selama 14 hari, dan dilakukan pengamatan kadar glukosa darah untuk mengamati efek hipoglikemia serta berat badan. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan injeksi alloxan 175 mg/kg BB pada tikus model strain wistar meningkatkan kadar glukosa darah hingga lebih dari 200 mg/dl. Pemberian formula herbal 2x sehari pada hari ketujuh setelah perlakuan menunjukkan penurunan berat badan yang berbeda nyata (p<0.05), demikian juga pada hari ke – 14 setelah perlakuan. Namun, pemberian formula herbal baik F3322 dan F5221 menormalkan kadar gula darah tikus model dari 415 – 445 mg/dl menjadi 155 – 157 mg/dl. Penurunan kadar glukosa pada tikus model disebabkan oleh kandungan daun kencana wungu, kayu secang, dan kayu manis yang memiliki efek hipoglikemia. Sedangkan daun jati cina berpotensi sebagai antidiabetes melalui efek hypolipidemia yang ditandai dengan penurunan berat badan tikus. Penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa pemberian formula F5221 selama 2x sehari dalam 14 hari menurunkan kadar glukosa dan berat badan dan berpotensi sebagai kandidat obat herbal antidiabetes mellitus
