Perkawinan Kristen Tanpa Eksistensi Adat Batak Toba di Gereja HKBP Kota Denpasar

This research aims to explain and describe the Batak Community's views on Christian marriage without the existence of Toba Batak traditional ceremonies at the HKBP Church, Denpasar City. The method required for this research is a descriptive qualitative approach. The theory that is used as a tool to obtain information in this research is the structural functionalism theory by Talcott Parsons using the action subsystem of the AGIL scheme, including adaptation, goal-attatment, interpretation and latency. The subjects of this research were married Toba Batak people, young people who were about to get married, pastors and elders of the HKBP Church in Denpasar City. The results of this research are that couples who carry out a Christian wedding ceremony but do not carry out the Toba Batak traditional wedding ceremony can be caused by economic factors, education, not getting the blessing or approval of both parents of the couple's family, differences in beliefs and cultural values. as well as ethics. Several couples from the Toba Batak community of the HKBP Church in Denpasar City were mostly due to spending a lot on Toba Batak traditional peak party activities, specifically dowry money. Apart from that, there are thoughts of today's young people who are of the opinion that marriage according to Christian beliefs is already valid or official through a marriage blessing in the Church, but according to tradition, the couple still has debts that must be paid off immediately in order to be recognized and prayed for as having entered into a legal marriage. This occurs because of the transition to modernization which results in a shift in a socio-cultural structure such as kinship, traditional philosophy, roles or functions and etc.

Social Action in the Movie Alkhallat+: Talcott Parson's Structural Functional Study

This research describes the results of the representation of social action in the film Alkhallat+ (2023) directed by Fahad Alammari and began airing on January 19, 2023 on Neflix. This research will provide an empirical understanding of the impact of actions taken in the social life of the community and contain the results of the representation of the form of social action. In the process of analyzing this research study, the researcher used the modern literary sociology approach of Talcott Parson's study with data collection techniques using listening and recording techniques in the Alkhallat + movie. The analysis of qualitative data is carried out by revealing the forms of social action using the AGIL scheme concept theory and interpreting the impact of social action into the classification of representation values. The findings of the data analysis of this social action research are in the form of 3 representation values classified into three parts, namely the representation of love, discrimination, and solving problems with the law. This study opens new insights related to the form of representation of social action, and provides a broader view of the concept of the AGIL scheme in the study of literary sociology for writers who want to conduct similar research or add new findings.

EKSISTENSI MINORITAS MUSLIM TOBA DI KOTA BALIGE

This study discusses the existence of the Toba Muslim Minority in Balige City. Basically, the existence of society is one form of creating a set of components in an area. Similarly, every component of society will adjust to the surrounding environment. The potential for the formation of a typology of people in Balige City is grouped based on the religion adhered to. In general, the majority group is embraced by the Christian community while the minority group is embraced by the Muslim community. This research uses 2 theories reviewed from sociology and social philosophy. in the sociological review, this research is studied with Parsons' theory and its AGIL scheme, while in the review of social philosophy, this research uses Will Kymlicka's minority rights theory. This research uses qualitative methods with the type of field research (field research). Data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The result of this study is the existence of the Toba Muslim minority in Balige City into an interpretation of Islam in Batak Toba. The existence of Islam in Balige City can survive so far so that it has experienced developments such as the increasing number of worshippers. This will require improving the facilities of houses of worship for Muslims in worship. The government of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Balige City tried to overcome this by facilitating the establishment of mosques and arranging the certification of the status of the land to avoid land disputes. Similarly, the views of the majority community towards minority communities are still relatively good. However, there are still obstacles found in interacting such as there are still some minority communities who have not been able to socialize. So they hope that minorities can blend into the majority society with each other. The conclusion of the study is that Islam can maintain its existence and is well accepted in Balige City. However, limitations as a minority community does not close will cause its slowness in developing. Such as facilities for houses of worship that have not been fulfilled adequately and so on.

“함께하는 힘이 이렇게 세구나!”: 달빛초 세계시민교육 교원 연구팀의 협력적 관계구조 형성에 관한 질적 사례연구

This qualitative case study explored the collaborative relational structure of a research team of educators at Moonlight primary school (pseudonym), which enabled the mainstreaming of global citizenship education(hereafter, GCED) into the school over the past three years. To do so, this research employed the relational AGIL scheme(Donati, 2022) as a theoretical framework to analyze changes in the purpose, values, means, and norms of the research team’s relational structure. The findings revealed that the research team underwent transition from an initially contrived collegiality to a later reciprocal one, with the turning point marked by a change in leadership. The late-stage research team’s reciprocal relational structure was characterized by a pursuit of situational goals (G) related to the mainstreaming of GCED at Moonlight primary school, grounded in values of mutual respect(L), a sophisticated planning of various means(A) meticulously designed for mainstreaming GCED, and an emphasis on ethical responsibilities within teacher relationships(I), forming an AGIL relational structure. The key mechanism in shaping this reciprocal relational structure(AGIL) was the relational reflexivity of the research team members. They, as relational subjects, were able to recognise the relational order of reality, that is, we-‘relation’, a third entity constructed by team members that remains invisible but embodies the potential for teacher collaboration.

Reconstruction of Pancasila and Citizenship Learning Thinking to Improve Soft Skills of Polytechnic Students

Efforts to reconstruct the learning thinking of Civic Pancasila Education to develop a Life Skills Education Approach. This is based on researchers' concerns about the gap between what actually exists, with the existing conceptual framework (Das Sein and Das Solen), in the education system in Indonesia, especially Civic Education in the development of Polytechnic students. The researchers focus on the application of education theory as a tool of social integration that acts as an agent of value cultivation, Education is strength, Education is an investment for human resource development or Human Capital theory, and social action theory or Action Theory with the AGIL scheme (Adaptation, Goal Attaintment, Integration, and Latency). This research used a qualitative approach to find and reconstruct the thinking (Constructivism) of Pancasila and Civic Education to develop a Life Skills Education Approach, with a phenomenological approach. Researchers rely on as many of the views of the participants studied according to the research theme in depth as possible to explore and find the right reconstruction of thinking. The conclusions of this study are: (1) The transmission of civic values or social systems in educational institutions is carried out by civic education; (2) Civic education must be shape the character and life skills needed in human resource development; (3) Life skills education (soft skills) in civic education which is the basic foundation for the formation of an intelligent and good national character is, a very important part used as a learning approach to Pancasila and citizenship education at Polytechnics.

The Role of Ex-Industrial SMEs in Bringing Prosperous Economic Development for the Residents of Wedoro Village

The problems experienced by SME actors often become obstacles in society to improve their economic business such as business licensing, limited capital, expansion in marketing, constraints during the production process, and management of financial management. This research uses a qualitative type with Parsons's AGIL theory. The aim is to find out the division of roles of recycling empowerment actors and to analyze the resilience of this community through AGIL analysis. The research location was chosen because the empowerment carried out through Ex-Industry SMEs was successful due to an equilibrium role distribution system. The research subjects were selected using a purposive method. Data was collected using two primary data types (observation and interviews) and secondary data (through digital libraries). The analysis used in this study is the AGIL scheme's structural functionalism analysis focusing on analyzing the roles of Ex-Industry SME actors and Wedoro Hamlet residents in carrying out economic activities. The data validity checking technique used is triangulation. This research shows that their adaptation is carried out by prioritizing products in terms of quality and expanding the market to be able to compete with Chinese-owned products, goal orientation is carried out through conducting market research, innovation and creativity, which are continuously updated to increase market turnover, the latency that is applied is the value of discipline and kinship to strengthen solidarity between employers and employees, and the integration that is built is to establish a sense of solidarity and employee welfare to maintain business continuity.

Adaptasi Mahasiswa Pendidikan Sosiologi dalam Pelaksanaan Praktik Pengalaman Lapangan Pasca Perkuliahan Daring

This study aims to analyze student adaptation in implementing PPLK after online study for PPLK sociology education UNP students 2018 for the July-December 2021 period. This study was studied using structural functional theory by Talcott Parsons with the AGIL scheme. Functional Structural theory is a theory that views that all elements in society have their respective functions if one element does not function properly then problems will occur, so in this case the researcher sees that PPLK students are one of the elements in their society. must carry out its function properly even though there are obstacles. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study research. Informant selection technique using Non Probability Sampling with Incidental Sampling technique, non-Probability Sampling is a sampling technique that does not provide equal opportunities for each sample element. There were 18 informants in this study, namely 10 students, 5 lecturers, 3 teachers, data collection was done by interview, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses the Interactive model of Miles and Huberman (1992) which is divided into three activity flows, namely data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of this study were adaptations made by students: 1. Preparing before teaching. 2. Prepare mentally. 3. Learn independently. 4. Self-motivated. 5. Adaptation to the school environment.

Supporting agile innovation and knowledge by managing human resource flexibility

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the implications of managing human resource (HR) flexibility and absorptive capacity (AC) of knowledge for the implementation of agile innovation methods in the new product development (NPD) process of manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve this, the authors have carried out a meta-analysis by defining first a research question that determines the design of bibliometric data and compilation. The study question is: How firms can support agile initiatives in innovation considering their HR flexibility and AC? The Web of Science Collection has been consulted in three steps with several search strings. The analysis of 161 references without duplicities in the period 1997–2021 provides the foundations for exploring the research question.FindingsThe authors propose research hypotheses to analyze the interrelationship between HR flexibility, AC and agile innovation according to the literature-based discussion. The authors have identified and develop metrics to pilot the transition to agile that have been also adapted to specific innovation departures points before the transition. The authors also propose and discuss some organizational changes and practical guidelines to pilot transitions to agile that should be useful to the firm’s strategic decision of implementing the most adequate type of agile innovation.Originality/valueEven though flexibility and innovation are very important needs for many firms, agile schemes are still under-studied topics in the NPD of manufacturing firms. There are no specific studies in the literature that analyze the interrelationship between HR flexibility, AC and agile innovation, identifying common aspects and different approaches. Thus, this study is of original nature and the developed managerial tools, composed of metrics and organizational changes, will be useful to managers and permitted the authors to achieve the proposed goal.

IMPLEMENTASI FUNGSIONALISME STRUKTURAL TALCOTT PARSONS DALAM UPAYA MELESTARIKAN TRADISI ISLAM MELAYU NGANGGUNG DULANG DI BANGKA BELITUNG

Nganggung culture or was called Sepintu Sedulang is an activity that carried the dulang of food to the mosque or musholla in Bangka Belitung. Culture is not passed on through genetics, but through leasrning.The article was designed to learn the role of each element of society structurally in trying to preserve the traditions of accountability. The theory used in this writing is the theory of a structural functionality with a Talcott Parsons figure with an AGIL scheme it offers. The result is in structural functionality, traditions held in place five elements, purpose, means, requirements, norms and efforts. The five elements are a combination of both external factors and the subjective process of tradition subject. In the AGIL scheme it consists of four subsystems, that is adaptation, goals, unity, and maintenance of patterns. The scheme is then implemented to elements of society, where achieving the purpose of preserving culture requires a concerted effort to build multiculticultural awareness in individuals. Thus, the enduring traditions of ingratitude can still be maintained and maintained.

The Role of Chocolate Web-Based Communication in a Regional Context: Its Implication for Open Innovation

Background: This research investigates the web-based communication and promotion strategies applied by a sample of selected chocolatiers in Piedmont, a region in the northwest of Italy known for its ancient chocolate-making tradition. Methods: the AGIL scheme was used (A-adaptation, which evaluates the persuasive approach; G-goal achievement, which evaluates the informative approach; I-integration, which evaluates the communicative approach; and L-latent model, which evaluates the identity approach). Each A-G-I-L category, subdivided into subcategories containing variables, was specifically evaluated during the analysis of the companies’ websites carried out by a group of experts. The five experts assigned a score for each variable and subcategory to each site. The average subcategory and category scores for each website were analyzed using principal component analysis, which allowed three communicative orientations to be defined: classic, consumer-centered, international-oriented. Results: In general, the results show a strong link between the tradition of artisan chocolate producers and the desire to create a relationship of trust in the brand on the part of consumers. Conclusions: This research is the first to contribute to the field of chocolate web-communication and provides a picture of a local production reality; it is interesting in terms of chocolate promotion styles based on the combination of tradition and innovation.

INOVASI BISNIS PASCA ERA PANDEMI COVID 19 MELALUI KONSEP INTEGRASI SOSIAL

This paper aims to present opinions on how social integration can improve the community's economy and support existing economic activities. Here, social integration is needed so that this does not happen and besides that, social integration does not only unite people's thoughts but can also improve people's welfare if in the right context. Because as we know, Indonesia is currently being hit by an epidemic in which a lot of companies are harming the economy so that it disrupts the community's economy. Social integration is the process of creating unity, inclusion and participation at all levels of society in the diversity of personal characteristics so that everyone can be free to be who they want to be. Personal attributes include socioeconomic class, age, gender, sexual preferences and expressions, political ideas, ethnic and cultural characteristics, religion, nationality (country of origin), and geographic origin region, etc. Social integration allows people, regardless of their characteristics, to enjoy the same opportunities, rights and services available to the so-called dominant group. The business innovation in this paper is applied by applying AGIL theory through 4 important functions needed in the social integration system in meeting the economic needs of the transmigrant population and local residents: Adaptation (Adaptation), Goal Attainment (Achieving Goals), Integration (Integration), Latency (Latency). or Pattern Maintenance). Parsons explains his AGIL concept through a structural system of actions that includes behavioral organisms, social systems, cultural systems and personality systems. Behavioral organisms are action systems that carry out adaptation functions by adapting (adjusting) to the environment and also changing their external environment. While the personality system functions to carry out the function of achieving goals by setting system goals and mobilizing resources to achieve them. Then the social system copes with the function of integration by controlling the parts that are its components. Finally, the cultural system performs the function of maintaining patterns by providing a set of values and norms that motivate actors to act. Parsons' AGIL schema design is used at all levels in his system theory. In the language of the four parsons action systems using the AGIL scheme.

The residue of theocracy in contemporary democracies: A comparative study

AbstractThe article re‐examines residues of theocracy in contemporary western and related democracies such as OECD countries. It outlines a model of theocracy composed of four elements. These elements are, first, extreme religiosity and religious fanaticism and closure; second, suppression of knowledge and scientific progress and perpetuation of anti‐science, irrationalism; third, a state‐favoured Church as the agent of political power, coercion, repression, war; and fourth, accumulation and redistribution of economic resources to support religion. The model is represented in the format of the functionalist AGIL scheme. Considering evidence, the model of theocracy is found to fit reasonably well for certain, primarily highly religious and conservative, countries. Conversely, it does not fit many other countries, especially less religious and more liberal societies. The article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between religion and politics in contemporary societies, and outlines directions for further research.

Kampus Mengajar: Upaya Pendampingan Pendidikan Era Pandemi Covid-19 di Desa Kalampadu Ogan Ilir

This service is motivated by the socio-cultural phenomenon of education in Kalampadu Village since the distance school system has created new social problems. The quality of school resources, parental resources, online media, and internet access does not support the learning process, causing children to find it challenging to understand school subject matter. This socio-cultural-educational problem should not be left without efforts to solve the problem because the nation's children are the hope and successor in a prosperous future of Indonesia. The Unsri community service team helped solve this educational problem by conducting socialization and internalization of socio-cultural-educational. This community service activity was carried out at the Village Hall, Kalampadu Village, involving 32 participants consisting of parents, teachers, students, community leaders, and the village government. This method is carried out by delivering material and direct practice to the participants of service activities. The results of these activities are full of practice from Parsons' structural, functional theory. Every series of events from beginning to end fits perfectly with the AGIL scheme in socializing and internalizing educational norms. Welcoming remarks as a process of re-adaptation, delivery of material according to the re-integration scheme, and a question-and-answer and interactive process is applying all elements of adaptation-achievement of goals-integration-maintenance of patterns. This service activity integrates the socio-cultural system of education towards an ideal and prosperous educational, social system.

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DESPICABLE SCOURGES OF CHILD TRAFFICKING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL AGENCY FOR THE PROHIBITION OF TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS (NAPTIP) A REVIEW OF LITERATURE

One of the contemporary social Issues which are posing serious threats to the attainment of a vibrant sustainable development in Nigeria is the child trafficking and it is rapidly spreading like a wild fire cutting across the geopolitical zones of the country which are for example, the north-west, north-central, north-east, south-west, south-south as well as the south-east. The trafficking of the child can be considered as a crime against humanity. This is however in view of the fact that the article titled The Fight Against the Despicable Scourges of Child Trafficking for Sustainable Development in Nigeria: The Role of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and other Related Matters examined a plethora of factors which were considered as the critical causes of child trafficking in Nigeria, their actual consequences and the way forward for a laudable sustainable development in the country. It was observed that some of the causes of child trafficking identified in the article were for example, the poverty, illiteracy and ignorance, divorce, separation, inadequate social security and also, lack of adequate community support and policing. However, with regard to the consequences of child trafficking in Nigeria, clear explanations were offered. These comprised for example, the hindrance of the physical, psychological and the mental development of the child; loss of parental love and care of the child; poor health condition of the child, lack of access to quality educational development of the child, the juvenile delinquency and other crimes and lastly, the withdrawal of foreign aids. However, the article was underpinned by a theoretical framework known as the Parson’s famous AGIL SCHEME which was rooted in the structural functionalism, a classical sociological perspective. The article also contained the conclusion and the recommendations.

Soldiers don't go mad: Shell shock and accounting intransigence in the British Army 1914-18

This research examines intransigence in accounting systems. Using historical research methods and archival sources, it explores intransigence in the Royal Army Medical Corps’ accounting systems in the context of the incidence of shell shock among British Army soldiers fighting at the battlefront during the First World War. The Army did not recognise shell shock as a medical condition and made few changes to its medical accounting systems for soldiers with shell shock. The four factors of system stability of the AGIL scheme (adaptation, goal attainment, integration, latency) are used to understand the limited medical accounting response to shell shock. This research indicates that in addition to historical and internal political reasons for intransigence, intransigence will occur unless a factor in the AGIL scheme is sufficiently impaired to make the accounting system unstable and force system change. This research finding has contemporary relevance, explaining accounting intransigence in response to issues of social concern.

Study of Wine Producers’ Marketing Communication in Extreme Territories–Application of the AGIL Scheme to Wineries’ Website Features

This study measures the communication ability of wineries in two extreme territories of Southern Italy, Mount Etna and the island of Pantelleria. The evaluation of four dimensions of web communication was carried out by the AGIL Scheme (i.e., adaptation, goal-attainment, integration, latent pattern maintenance). The study provides a generalizable model to be applied in other similar studies. Additionally, focus groups of experts were carried out. The method proved to be suitable to measure the communication effectiveness of wineries through websites. Extreme territories may add value to the wine, regardless of the brand. The heroic wines may become the symbol of these territories, helping environmentally safeguard and contrast territory abandonment by rural communities. The findings highlight that effective communication of heroic viticulture may be used to reposition these wines and increase their competitive advantage in foreign markets. The study generates new ideas for reflection on new types of web communication.

The Relational Approach and the Family

The article is an illustration, from a sociological viewpoint, of the epistemological and methodological scope of the relational approach to the study of the family. From this perspective (Section 1), the family can be identified as a social relationship of full reciprocity between sexes 1 and generations, to be neither replaced nor confused with anything else (family genome), thus highlighting the advantages of the relational approach compared to other contemporary approaches, defined as relationist/relationistic. Section 2 focuses on the Added Value of the Relational Method from logical, methodological and empirical levels. The main traits of the family research are to consider the family as a unicum and its relational and historical nature. The AGIL scheme helps to analyse the family as a suigeneris relationship by identifying its constitutive resources (A), aims (G), norms (I) and latent cultural model (L).

Al di là del bene e del male. la vocazione etica della sociologia relazionale e la ricerca sociologica come coscienza critica della modernità

The paper aims at analyzing the relation between ethics and sociology, wondering the chance to get beyond the actual divisionism (and the impossibility to reduce prescriptive assertions - ethical field - to descriptive assertions - sociological field). From the very beginning the science had to do with facts and the first sociologists (Simmel, Durkheim and Weber) treated the phenomena such as relevant to the comprehension of the and collective agency. Despite of a first fruitful dialogue between ethics and sociology, in the present debates both of them seem to be recognized as irreconcilable and autonomous sciences. Pierpaolo Donati’s Relational Sociology demonstrates how to save the original and authentic relation between sociology and ethics: the former has indeed the purpose to describe the intersection between individual and sphere by the emergent form of the social relation. It is necessary to treat together the value dimension of relation (the L of latency in the relational reformulation of AGIL scheme) and the intrinsic normative agency of individuals (the I of integration). For heuristic reasons the reflexivity issue in the relational paradigm implies that we must consider sociology as the moral conscience of modernity (Donati). In his last studies the reflexivity is considered the connotation of inner relation in the morphogenetic society: sociology may, then, represent the way to get access to the reflexive-relational capability of modern individuals-in-society.

Inclusion and Integration on Special Education

Today, nearly 25 years after shifting from integration to inclusion in the theoretical approach in special education, we postulate two questions: what is exactly meant by integration and inclusion? And, still more important: how do they differ in practice? We seek to answer them from the relational sociology (by Donati) taking into consideration the social consequences that result from each approach. By the appliance of the AGIL scheme as a heuristic for the observation and analysis of relationships, we emphasize on the significance of “education for all”, “equality” and “difference”. Our conclusion is that there is a semantic confusion between “inclusion” and “integration” which makes us consider necessary to recover their original meaning since integration is the approach that best suits the purposes of special education.
