Implementasi Sistem Ekonomi Pancasila dalam Kebijakan Pemerintah Indonesia

Pancasila economic system is a concept of thinking about the planning and implementation of the national economy with a framework based on the elaboration of the values that exist in the Pancasila paradigm. The implementation of the Pancasila economic system is crucial in view of the phenomenon of global capitalism and the COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in decreased economic stability. The decline in economic stability in Indonesia today increasingly shows that the implementation of the Pancasila economy has deviated and is displaced by the existence of a capital-liberal economic system which has ultimately led to inequality in the people's economy. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existence of the economic implementation of Pancasila in various government policies in facing the onslaught of global capital liberalism. The research method uses literature studies, by presenting theories related to titles obtained from books, journals and online media. This research finds that the implementation of the Pancasila economic system in various government policies is still apparent. This nation has been faced with globalization and economic modernization as serious challenges in maintaining the wisdom of the nation's economic culture without having to be left behind from these world phenomena. This has become a very hard homework for the government structure in initiating Indonesian economic regulations and policies that must prioritize the people's economy. The populist economic system is a suitable solution to be applied in Indonesia which relies on Pancasila.

Informal Bases of Formalisation in Pakistan: Recording the Lived Experiences of Female School Teachers

This paper focuses on exploring the way ingrained cultural wisdom and mechanisms provide the base for actualising official roles in formal organisations. Most of the formal interactions and transactions are made through personalised dealings (Qadeer, 1999). Some senior scholars feel that such cultural wisdom/mechanisms (like VB) are not relevant anymore (Chaudhary, 1999), but the current research and existing practices are giving a different picture of reality (Saher & Mayrhofer, 2014; Saher et al., 2014; Qadeer, 1999). Considering this lacuna in literature and between literature and practice, this paper is going to unravel the process of informalization in formal organisations and will contribute to the ongoing debate on convergence divergence. This paper will also discuss the implications and extend guidance for future research in this field.

A comparative study of Kikuyu Proverbs and its English equivalents on the role and position of women: A Natural Semantic Metalanguage perspective

Proverbs are part of any culture. They are symbolic as they carry the cultural wisdom and heritage of any community. Studies in the past have shown that proverbs just like other oral traditions help in the construction of identities and ideologies. Such identities and ideologies are as in gender, the roles of those genders and stereotypes alike. Kikuyu proverbs, particularly those on the role and position of women are no different. They are carriers of meaning. Kikuyu proverbs, just like many other proverbs, can be translated to other languages and their equivalents are provided as well. This paper studies selected Kikuyu proverbs about women and their English equivalent. The aim is to investigate whether the Kikuyu and their English equivalent proverbs have a similar semantic structure. The study also makes a comparison of the cultural themes. This study was premised on the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach by Anna Wierzbicka (1996) and Cliff Goddard (2002). Data for the analysis were collected from both oral and written sources. From the collected proverbs, 10 were selected for analysis. The analysis involved semantic explication of proverb texts using the five-part semantic template for proverbs analysis: ‘traditionality’, ‘recurrent situation’, ‘advice’, ‘analogy’, and ‘status as folk wisdom’ as proposed by Goddard. The finding was that the selected Kikuyu proverbs did not have a similar semantic structure to their English equivalent. The proverbs lacked elements such as ‘advice’ or ‘analogy’ when compared alongside. There was also a difference in their cultural themes.

Pembuatan dan Penggunaan Alat Detektor Gempa Untuk Pendidikan Kebencanaan Bagi Anak Santri di Pondok Pesantren Al Muyamman, Giwangan, Yogyakarta

People who live in the Giwangan area, Umbulharjo District, Yogyakarta have public awareness in response to earthquake conditions. However, this is not the case for the migrant communities who lived after the earthquake in 2006. They are still inexperienced in dealing with earthquake situations. Some of them have not even interacted with local wisdom culture, especially in recognizing vibrations at the beginning of the earthquake. This is also the case in the neighborhood of education in Al Muyamman Giwangan. This community service aims to introduce ways of being responsive to the initial situation of the earthquake. The service method that has been carried out is through training in the manufacture and use of earthquake detectors for students. The results of the training showed that the participants were able to make an earthquake detector. This tool uses the sensitivity of the pendulum swing in a bottle against earthquake vibrations. Physically, the magnitude of the detected earthquake vibrations is like the ground surface vibration propagation when a truck is passed. Based on the approach to the magnitude of the Mercalli earthquake, the vibration is of magnitude 3 MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity). This earthquake is equivalent to 4.3 on the Richter scale, still allowing people to save themselves. After the initial response to earthquake vibrations, it is necessary to be responsive when an earthquake occurs. This responsiveness is as understanding the existence of the assembly point location. We can carry evacuation efforts out if the location has exit access, release exits and supporting facilities that are in accordance with environmental conditions and local wisdom culture.
