Reading the Spiritual Message Behind Javanese Traditional Wedding Procession

This research using qualitative research methods and a descriptive and semotic approach aims to analyze the values and symbolism contained in Javanese traditional wedding processions. With the development of technology and the influence of globalization, the younger generation in Java, Indonesia, tend to leave the traditional Javanese procession in their marriage. This threatens the sustainability and preservation of the cultural heritage. Data was collected through direct observation, interviews and literature study. The series of procedures for traditional Javanese wedding processions and the values contained in each procession are analyzed in depth. The results of the study show that each Javanese traditional wedding procession contains various symbols that reflect the social, religious and cultural values inherent in Javanese society. These symbols have a deep philosophical meaning and are a reflection of the relationship between the bride and groom, family and society. Although it is not an obligation, the use of Javanese traditional ritual processions in marriage for couples with Javanese ethnicity does not have a significant effect on the wedding ceremony or the days afterward, but some couples choose to do it as a form of respect for their ancestors and inherited values, and hope that life their marriage was filled with goodness and blessings passed down by the ancestors.

The Struggle of Custom and Sharia: Classic Dilemma of Inheritance Settlement in Javanese and Minangkabau Ethnic Communities in Indonesia

This research aims at determining the reasons and causes for dividing inheritance before the death of the testator, as well as the implications of this inheritance division pattern on the heirs. The disagreement between custom (also known as adat) and Sharia creates an issue in the division of inheritance in Sungai Duo Village, South Solok Regency, Indonesia. In its principle, inheritance is divided after the testator dies. However, in Sungai Duo Village it applies differently, where inheritance is distributed before the testator passed away. This is empirical legal research using a qualitative legal approach, which was investigated through the Islamic inheritance law's perspectives. The data included primary data, which were obtained from interviews, and secondary data generated from document studies. Data were analyzed through several stages, including data reduction, data display, and verification. Based on the research findings, the reasons for dividing inheritance before the testator dies are: first, to avoid disputes between the heirs; second, lack of knowledge of the heirs concerning the Islamic inheritance system, resulting in inheritance division contradicts the provisions of Sharia; third, inheritance division pattern applied in society is dominated by customs that have been passed down for generations, and fourth, the diverse community of Minangkabau and Javanese ethnicity causes their inheritance division pattern to reflect their regional customs. The implication of this inheritance division pattern to the heirs is that there is peace for the heirs in terms of inheritance responsibility because they consider the heirs to have had the maturity and ability to manage the assets of their parents who are no longer able to manage these assets. So that it can improve their children's economies or serve as a support for those who are married. These findings also prove the existence of legal duality, namely Islamic inheritance law and customary inheritance law. However, it appears that customary inheritance law is more prevalent than Islamic inheritance law.

Among the Japanese Personal Pronoun Anata, The Javanese Ethnic Personal Name, and Interactive Communicative Approach

This study is different from other naming studies since this study examines the collaboration of naming science with foreign language teaching. Respondents are Japanese language learners in the city of Purwokerto. There are 1736 Japanese language learners in high schools and universities in the city of Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia where most of the people in this city use Javanese as their mother language. Of the 1736 questionnaires distributed through schools and universities, 58% (1007) of respondents filled out the questionnaire. The conducted survey shows that 81% of students prefer to be addressed by their proper name and end with ~san than by second-person pronouns (O2) in Japanese, that is anata. On the contrary, 18% of students who have Javanese ethnic names prefer to be addressed anata. Javanese ethnic students prefer to be addressed by the last syllable of their name and end with ~san. Addressing students' names is a way to create a communicative interaction and motivate students in the teaching-learning process.

Piil Pesenggiri: Study on Leadership and Public Trust of the Penyimbang Adat in the Indigeneous Lampung Community

This paper examines Piil Peseinggiri, which is a concept of cultural philosophy of the indigenous people of Lampung. Piil Peseinggiri is briefly defined as “high self-esteem,” which provides deep understanding and meaning. Symbolically, the Piil Peseinggiri is the identity of the Lampung people who are very strong and difficult to change, it can be said that it is the core of the culture that is difficult to change. Meanwhile, other Lampung cultures began to experience a reduction due to transmigration, acculturation, assimilation, and various cultural changes that occurred in Lampung society, where the population was only 13% compared to the Javanese ethnicity which was almost 64%. However, Piil Peseinggiri is very important and has the potential to build the character of the community, especially the character of the leader, in the Lampung indigenous community called the Penyimbang. The Penyimbangr is the customary head who leads the community or clan. The counter must have a good Piil Peseinggiri so that it has a high level of trust from the members of the indigenous community. The leadership and trust built by the counterweight is something that needs to be studied to reflect on how local leadership contributes to national leadership and fosters public trust. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, the research was carried out in several Pepadun community groups, namely in Way Kanan and Sai Batin in Kalianda.

The Effect of Interleukin-2 -330 T/G Polymorphism in People with Schizophrenia Among The Batak and Javanese Ethnic Groups.

Schizophrenia is a complex disorder involving multiple genes with mild to moderate effects and non-genetic risk factors such as environmental and psychological influences that alter brain chemistry. Significant reduction in interleukin-2 production by peripheral lymphocytes is an immunological finding replicated in schizophrenia across various countries. Investigations on the interleukin-2 -330 T/G polymorphism in people with schizophrenia (PWS) are still minimal, and the study location involves only a few countries with different results. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of interleukin-2 -330 T/G polymorphisms in people with schizophrenia among the Batak and Javanese ethnic groups in Indonesia, particularly in North Sumatra. This study used purposive non-probability sampling to recruit people with schizophrenia with 120 Batak and 120 Javanese subjects who were hospitalized at Prof. M. Ildrem Mental Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. The interleukin-2 -330 T/G polymorphism was examined by the PCR method. The results showed that the genotype frequency of the Batak people with schizophrenia is as follows: GG 11.7%, TG 53.3% and TT 35%. Furthermore, the group of Javanese people with schizophrenia is as follows: GG 23.3%, TG 44.2% and TT 32.5%. The OR for the genotypic comparison of GG was found to be 2.154 with 95% CI 0.992-4.678, p=0.053, while that of the TG genotype was 0.892 with 95% CI 0.505-1.574 and p=0.693. The T allele was higher than the G allele in Batak and Javanese ethnic groups, as demonstrated by p=0.713, OR=0.919 with 95% CI 0.641-1.318. There is no statistically significant difference between the occurrence frequency of alleles. In addition, there is no significant relationship between the GG and the TG genotype of the interleukin-2 - 330T/G polymorphism in people with schizophrenia among the Batak and the Javanese ethnic groups.
