Realizing The Religion As The Source Of Harmony In A Multicultural Society

Abstract This paper examines the potential of religion as the main source of harmony in a plural society. This paper itself is motivated by the fact that religion has two different faces: integrative and confrontational. On the one hand religion can encourage integration in society, however religion also has the potential to cause conflict and tension in the community, especially in the people with complex levels of diversity. In multicultural societies, integrative religious attitudes are needed to avoid conflicts. But making it happen is not as easy as turning our hand. The factor of understanding religious texts that are exclusive and based on hatred is one of the challenges. This will be further complicated when external factors (economic, political) are involved. By using philosophical-reflective methods, the writer offers two ways of religious that can create harmony in different cultures and beliefs, namely: exclusivenes-tolerance religious, and willingness to engage in interfaith dialogue. With these two things the writer believes that religious people still feel comfortable with the truth of their own religion, and at the same time they live in peace with people of different religions. Keywords: Diversity, Conflict, Multicultural Society, Exclusive-Tolerant, interfaith Dialogue. Abstrak Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang potensi agama sebagai sumber utama harmoni dalam masyarakat majemuk. Tulisan ini sendiri dilatar belakangi oleh kenyataan bahwa agama memiliki dua wajah yang saling berbeda: integratif dan konfrontatif. Di satu sisi agama bisa mendorong terjadinya integrasi dalam masyarakat, namun demikian agama juga berpotensi menimbulkan konflik dan ketegangan di tengah masyarakat, khususnya masyarakat dengan tingkat keragaman yang kompleks.Dalam masyarakat multikultural, sikap beragama yang integratif sangat diperlukan agar tidak terjadi konflik. Namun mewujudkannya tidak semudah membalikkan tangan. Faktor pemahaman terhadap teks-teks keagamaan yang tertutup dan didasari kebencian menjadi salah satu tantangan. Ini akan semakin rumit ketika faktor-faktor eksternal (ekonomi, politik) turut terlibat. Dengan menggunakan metode filosofis-reflektif penulis menawarkan dua cara beragama yang bisa mewujudkan harmoni dalam masyarakat yang berbeda budaya dan keyakinan, yaitu: keberagamaan yang ekslusif-toleran, dan kesediaan diri untuk melakukan dialog antarumat beragama. Dengan dua hal ini penulis meyakini umat beragama tetap merasa nyaman dengan kebenaran agamanya sendiri, dan di saat bersamaan mereka hidup damai dengan umat agama yang berbeda. Kata Kunci : Keberagamaan, Konflik, Masyarakat Multikultural, Ekslusif-Toleran, Dialog Antaragama

Identification and structure activity relationship of small molecule antagonists of the human P2X4 receptor

P2X4 is a purinergic receptor distributed all over the body with various roles. Among them, it was reportedly overexpressed in several neuronal and immune cell types following peripheral nerve injury and its activation leads to neuropathic pain. Several compounds were found to block P2X4 but none has gone into a clinical stage, probably due to insufficient information about the compound itself and P2X4 in general. One of such compounds, 5-(3-Bromophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-Benzofuro[3,2-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (5-BDBD) is known to be widely used in P2X4-related studies despite its limited information. Therefore, this study aimed to (i) find a novel compound that can block the activation of P2X4 through high throughput screening and characterise it, and (ii) study structural-activity relationship between 5-BDBD and P2X4. Human P2X4 receptor was stably expressed in human 1321N1 astrocytoma cells and 1710 compounds from National Cancer Institute were screened for their activity at P2X4. Extensive tests led to identifying a natural product (thaspine) as the most potent inhibitor at reducing P2X4 activation. Further characterisation experiments revealed that thaspine had an IC50 value of 3.8 ± 0.2 μM and showed an allosteric mode, time-dependent and irreversible inhibition. Thaspine was similarly potent at mouse P2X4, but not effective at human P2X2, P2X2/3 and P2X7. It was also inactive at human P2Y2 and P2Y6 at concentrations below 10 μM and 30 μM respectively. In primary microglial cell model (BV2), it inhibited ivermectin-potentiated responses but not normal ATP-evoked responses. Meanwhile, 5-BDBD was found to be inhibiting P2X4 receptor competitively and diazepinone was a pivotal group of the structure to cause inhibition. The binding pocket of 5-BDBD at P2X4 was also predicted using molecular docking. In this study, a novel compound thaspine, has been shown to be effective at inhibiting human P2X4 and thus may have potential therapeutic applications while novel information about 5-BDBD was also acquired

Implementasi Pendekatan Saintifik pada Pembelajaran Daring Selama Masa Pandemi Covid-19 di Lembaga Pendidikan Dasar

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is felt at all levels of education, from elementary to higher education. The existence of this pandemic has become a challenge for educators to innovate in developing and implementing lesson plans that have been prepared previously. One of the learning approaches used is the scientific approach. This approach trains students to learn with the scientific method through the process of observing, asking questions, gathering information, experimenting, associating and communicating the material they are learning. This is where the ability of a teacher is required to be creative in integrating the steps of the scientific approach with online methods. During the past year, the implementation of a scientific approach in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has been carried out in basic education institutions with quite good results. Some of the advantages of the scientific approach using online learning include (1) the dependence of students on educators is slightly reduced because learning is carried out more at home through the network (online) (2) the flexibility of time and place to take the steps of the scientific approach to be a separate experience for students (3 ) train students to use learning technology from an early age. The weaknesses of online learning include (1) internet signal/connection is not very stable (2) teacher and student interactions cannot interact directly (3) still lack of facilities and infrastructure in the implementation of online learning (4) inadequate parental supervision This causes students to often lose focus in learning

Upaya Mengembangkan Kemampuan Kognitif Anak Usia Dini melalui Media Pembelajaran Sains

Cognitive ability is a child's ability to think more complexly and to reason and solve problems. In early childhood, especially children aged 6-5 years, aspects of cognitive development that want to be developed are mainly in the ability to think critically, logically, give reasons, solve problems and find causal relationships. Stimulating children's cognitive development naturally can be done with simple science experiment activities. In addition, children's cognitive development in the learning process is also carried out through the use of learning media that allows children to participate in interactions such as science learning media. Efforts to develop children's cognitive abilities through science learning media should be carried out with appropriate steps, such as planning, preparing and carrying out learning activities according to children's characteristics such as conducting simple experiments so that they are expected to recognize and know simple science concepts

Praktik Al-Hijr dalam Penyelesaian Nusyûz di Pengadilan Agama

Perkara nusyûz yang dilakukan oleh istri dapat diselesaikan melalui tiga cara yaitu memberi nasihat yang baik, al-hijr atau pisah ranjang, dan pemukulan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis latar belakang dan pelaksanaan al-hijr yang dilakukan oleh para pihak berperkara di Pengadilan Agama. Melalui pendekatan diskriptif kualitatif diketahui bahwa para pihak yang mengajukan perceraian melakukan al-hijr karena alasan perselingkuhan, pertengkaran, perselisihan yang berkepanjangan, pengusiran oleh satu pihak. Pelaksanaan al-hijr ini belum sesuai dengan hukum Islam karena sebagian besar al-hijr dilakukan melebihi batas waktu maksimal. Selain itu, sebagian besar pasangan melakukan al-hijr dengan cara meninggalkan rumah, memutus komunikasi, tidak memberikan nafkah dan lahir batin
