Modifikasi Sifat Mineralogi dan Fisiko-Kimia Bahan Tanah Vertik dengan Ball Mill Berenergi Tinggi

test of modifying the properties of vertic material by using a ball milling technique was carried out with the primary aim to eliminate the vertic (swelling-shrinking) property and increase the electrical charge of the material. The clay fraction of Vertisol was dried and ball milled for 5, 10, and 20 minutes. Results reveal that the clay fraction of the soil material was dominated by montmorillonite mineral, and ball milling for > 5 minutes transformed the crystalline montmorillonite into amorphous (non-crystalline) particles. Those changes were followed by increasing the vertic features, cation exchange capacity, water holding capacity, and suspension effect of the milled material. The improvement of vertic characteristics might be due to the increase of electric charge of the milled particles. Thus, high-energy ball milling was an effective technique to improve the reactivity and vertic property of vertic material of Vertisols. Further studies are needed to evaluate the potential uses of modified vertic materials as ceramic material, cement component, adsorbent of heavy metals, and other contaminants, or catalysato

Islamophobia in Indonesia: Fact or Assumption?

Islamophobia is a phobia to Islam without any particular reason that causes Muslims to experience exclusion from economic, social, and public life. It is not just a problem for Muslims, but also for other religions. It rises potential horizontal conflict among followers of religions or groups. Islamophobia does occur in the West. In Indonesia, the hardline Islamic groups labelled critical thoughts or policies that do not in line with them as Islamophobia. However, religious leaders from Ambon, where there were conflicts between Christian and Muslim, said there was no Islamophobia in Indonesia. The statement is also agreed upon by a leader from Kerjasama Antar-Umat Beragama (Jakatarub) Bandung. Both leaders are representatives from the so-called tolerant and intolerant cities, affirmed that there are no Islamophobia in Indonesia. Therefore, is it just an assumption from the hardline Islamic groups who accused those who do not agree with their opinion about Islamic state by sharia as Islamophobia? How do we understand several policies or acts that seem like Islamophobia? This paper argues that there is no Islamophobia in Indonesia by analyzing two cases that labelled as Islamophobia in Indonesia using the open and closed view of Islam (The Runnymede Trust, 1997)

Public Perception and Participation in Environmental Preservation of Watershed

Environmental aspects have been some of the most argued about topics in society, including the role of the government as a stakeholder. Deforestation and illegal mining have been destroying the many ecosystems and rainforest habitats, including along the Katingan Watershed. The research objective is to describe public perception and participation in environmental preservation. The research used descriptive qualitative method and applying Spradley Domain Analysis. Primary and secondary data were obtained directly from field informants using interviews, observations and documentation. The research results show that the people’s perception and participation in environmental preservation was categorized into two groups. The first group one stated that they did contributed out of personal and financial interests, whilst the second groups were simply following the instructions of the government and local leaders. In general, locals have different perception on how they utilize the natural resources. The management of natural resources was perceived as being done for economic reasons, with the assumption that it were used sustainably. People’s involvement in preserving nature were affected their own needs either individually or collectively. Participation of the people in the conservation around the watersheds area was done for reasons of individual desire, solidarity, and to follow instructions from the government and Katingan Hilir leader. Environmental effort is carried out in activities aiming to protect and prevent damage to the area of the Katingan River. This lead to argue that diverse people’s perception to preserving environment generates the difference participation in their awareness

Ma’Nene: Dinamika Sejarah Tradisi Membersihkan dan Mengganti Pakaian Jenazah Leluhur Suku Toraja

The Toraja people still maintain their cultural existence in the midst of advances in technology and science, they still carry out traditions from generation to generation called Ma'Nene.However, this culture, over time, has undergone various changes that are no longer original and have even begun to be abandoned by some of its supporting communities. Therefore, this paper seeks to reveal the background of the birth of the Ma'Nene culture, and the factors underlying this cultural change in the Toraja people. This study uses historical research methods, including heuristics (data collection process), criticism/verification (data analysis), interpretation (data interpretation), and historiography (data writing) into a complete story of events.Ma'Nene for the Toraja people is not just a traditional ceremony, but has a deep meaning. Along with the times, various changes have occurred in this Ma'Nene tradition. Various shifts in meaning so that gradually this ceremony is just carrying out the tradition. However, in this way the community continues to maintain the Ma'Nene ceremony because there are still many Toraja tribes who believe that if it is not carried out, it will bring disaster to their lives, for example, failed harvests. The Ma'Nene culture is the ancestral culture of the people who adhere to the Aluk Todolo belief, but the majority of them are already Christian, but some of them still carry out this Ma'Nene culture.Suku Toraja masih mempertahankan eksistensi kebudayaan mereka di tengah kemajuan teknologi dan ilmu pengetahuan, mereka masih melaksanakan tradisi secara turun temurun yang disebut dengan Ma’nene. Akan tetapi budaya tersebut, seiring perkembangan waktu mengalami berbagai perubahan yang tidak lagi orisinil bahkan sudah mulai ditinggalkan oleh sebagian masyarakat pendukungnya. Olehnya itu, tulisan ini berupaya mengungkap tentang latar belakang lahirnya budaya Ma’Nene, dan faktor yang mendasari terjadinya perubahan budaya tersebut pada Suku Toraja. Kajian ini menggunakan metode penelitian sejarah, meliputi heuristik (proses pengumpulan data) kritik/verifikasi (analisa data), interpretasi (penafsiran data), dan historiografi (penulisan data) menjadi suatu cerita peristiwa yang utuh. Ma’Nene bagi masyarakat Toraja bukan hanya sekedar upacara adat, namun memiliki makna yang mendalam. Seiring perkembangan zaman berbagai perubahan yang terjadi pada tradisi Ma’Nene ini. Berbagai pergeseran makna sehingga lambat laun upacara ini hanya sekedar menjalankan tradisi. Namun dengan begitu masyarakat tetap mempertahankan upacara Ma’Nene karena masih banyak dari Sukut Toraja  yang percaya bahwa jika tidak dilaksanakan akan membawa mala peTidaka bagi kehidupannya, misalnya saja hasil panen yang gagal. Budaya Ma’Nene merupakan budaya leluhur masyarakat yang menganut kepercayaan Aluk Todolo, namun mayoritas mereka sudah beragama kristen, tetapi masih ada diantara mereka yang tetap melaksanakan tradisi Ma’Nene ini

Persepsi Dewasa Awal Mengenai Kursus Pranikah

- Pernikahan merupakan salah satu tugas perkembangan dewasa awal. Persiapan pernikahan yang dilakukan oleh pasangan dapat dilakukan melalui kursus pranikah. Kursus pranikah adalah pemberian bekal pemahaman dan pengetahuan tentang kehidupan rumah tangga/keluarga dalam mewujudkan keluarga sakinah, mawaddah warahmah serta mengurangi angka perselisihan, perceraian, dan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat gambaran persepsi dewasa awal tentang kursus pranikah. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian survei menggunakan. Metode analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif yang melibatkan 30 responden. Penelitian menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria dewasa awal usia 18 sampai 40 tahun, masa pernikahan kurang dari 10 tahun dan sudah pernah mengikuti kursus pranikah di Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) sebelum melangsungkan pernikahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dewasa awal memiliki persepsi yang baik terhadap kursus pranikah yang ditunjukkan dengan hasil persepsi terhadap hukum pernikahan memperoleh nilai rata-rata 3,50, dimensi mengenai mekanisme dan prosedur pencatatan perkawinan serta dimensi merawat cinta kasih memperoleh nilai rata-rata 3,37. Berikutnya dimensi penanaman nilai keimanan, ketaqwaan serta akhlaqul karimah dalam keluarga memperoleh rata-rata 3,32. Dimensi terkait fikih munakahat memperoleh nilai rata-rata 3,27.
