Mahar and Dui' Menre' in Bugis Marriage, Sidenreng Rappang District

One of the efforts of Islamic law to elevate the dignity of women is to oblige a man who will become her husband to give her a dowry. Apart from being an obligatory right for him, dowry is a respect for the rights of a woman, dowry is not intended as a self-respect for a woman. Mahar and dui' menre' of the Bugis community in Sidenreng Rappang Regency according to the reality that from the preparation of the proposal until the prospective groom prepares the dowry and dui' menre' from 2018 to 2020 it is a habit that has been ingrained in society that dui' menre ' is one of the things that must be fulfilled in carrying out every marriage so dui' menre is very difficult to make changes.
 The research method used is a qualitative method, by approaching existing theories, such as Theory of Maqasid Shari'ah, Theory of Al 'Urf, Social Law Change Theory and Youth Perception.
 the conclusion obtained from this study is that Giving dui' menre' based on Islamic law is mubah or permissible because in general dui' menre' is only a tradition, but mahar and dui’ menre’ in a Bugis traditional marriage are an inseparable unit. Youth in Sidenreng Rappang Regency do not fully understand dowry and dui' menre'.

Determination of Auspicious Days in Wedding Traditions in Mandar, West Sulawesi: Perspective of Islamic Law

Determination of auspicious days is a discourse that still causes polemics and is often considered to be contrary to Islamic law. This study aims to discuss the determination of auspicious days in the Mandar wedding traditions in the context of Islamic law. This empirical legal study used a multiapproach framework that included the theory of social change and the theory of Islamic law, especially al-'urf (social tradition) and al-maslahah (public interest). Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews and literature reviews of scientific articles, textbooks, and books on Islamic law. The data were then analyzed through data display using the aforementioned theories. The results of the study revealed that determining auspicious days, practiced by the majority of the Mandar people prior to organizing a marriage, has been considered a custom and in accordance with Islamic law. Further, the Qur’an and hadith, as the sources of Islamic law, have also indicated that there are auspicious times and days e.g., Friday, known as sayyid al-ayyām (leader of the days). The determination of auspicious days in marriage has been adjusted to follow social changes, government policies, and Islamic laws, especially ‘urf and maslahah. Such a custom can be categorized as ‘urf shahih (good) and not 'urf fasid(deviating), with the values of public interest being for safety and blessing. The argument of this study is that in the context of Islamic law if the determination of the auspicious day does not deviate from the provisions of Islamic law, it can be accommodated as a legal consideration; yet, if it deviates from Islamic law, guidance is necessary. This is in accordance with the rules of fiqh: “preserving old things that bring benefits, and accommodating new things that are more beneficial.”

Exploring anti-corruption education in Malaysian educational institutions

PurposeFrom 2000 to 2021, the Malaysian corruption perception index demonstrated a declining tendency, identifying Malaysia as a highly corrupt nation. Corruption in the nation has become a social cancer that has impacted the workplace and political climate. Using Dewey’s (1937) theory of education and social change, this paper argues that anti-corruption education is a tool for reforming the corruption culture of a nation. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to explore and understand the current anti-corruption education in Malaysian educational institutions.Design/methodology/approachThe results of this study were derived from a qualitative content analysis of 20 Google News articles, an interview with the sole implementation agency, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and a literature assessment of MACC publications. Due to a dearth of preceding study and journal publications on the topic, this type of qualitative content analysis of news has been applied in prior studies.FindingsThe results indicate that anti-corruption education has been implemented in the primary, secondary and higher education institutions in Malaysia. Nonetheless, the concept and implementation are inadequate, superficial and insufficient. The analysis advises more inclusive techniques for delivering anti-corruption education for social transformation.Originality/valuePrior research has focussed on laws and regulations to prosecute the corrupt, but has underrated the ability of education to alter the corruption culture. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first journal paper, written on anti-corruption education in Malaysia. This study sets the way for further anti-corruption education studies in the future. This line of research will provide insights for the nation’s policymaking, which aims to create a nation free of corruption and capable of sustaining itself.

Sosialisasi Kompetensi Guru Madrasah MIN 3 Langkat di Era Revolusi Industri 5.0

This community service program aims to enhance the technological competencies of madrasah teachers in facing the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 5.0. The primary issue identified was the low level of technological skills among madrasah teachers, which can hinder the integration of technology into the learning process. To address this issue, a series of intensive training, continuous mentoring, and the formation of practitioner communities were implemented. The methods used included an initial survey to identify needs, intensive training followed by interactive workshops, and mentoring through reflective sessions and technical support. Active participation from teachers and community involvement in this process were key factors in the program's success. The results of this program showed a significant increase in teachers' technological skills, the formation of an active practitioner community, and positive social changes, including the emergence of local leaders among the teachers. The program also succeeded in creating new awareness regarding the importance of technology in education in the digital era. These findings support theories of technology-based learning and social change.

Paradigma Pembelajaran Daring Pendidikan Agama Hindu di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 Pada Program Studi Pendidikan Agama Hindu STAHN Mpu Kuturan Singaraja

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the world of education, this influence is a challenge for academics to realize national education goals through Hindu religious education. It is felt that it is very important to research the online learning paradigm in Hindu religious education during the Covid-19 pandemic which was carried out in the Hindu religious education study program STAHN Mpu Kuturan Singaraja. The purpose of this research is to find out the online learning paradigm, and to find out character strengthening through Hindu religious education during a pandemic. This research is a qualitative research that displays descriptive data consisting of words. An analysis was carried out based on the theory of social change, the theory of behaviorism and Technological Determinism. This study obtained the results, namely the problems faced by students when learning online were lectures getting bored quickly, constrained by cellular operator signals, reduced communication between students and lecturers, inadequate equipment, quota fees, communication with parents was not directed. The challenges faced are not accustomed to online and independent learning, limited internet network, internet access and electricity, lack of facilities and resources, non-conducive environment, children are enthusiastic with their friends, the ability of parents to accompany children to study is different. There is a digital education transition that is felt, namely before the pandemic learning was carried out face-to-face, during the pandemic it was carried out fully online, after the pandemic it is likely that offline and online systems will be implemented. The principles of online learning are learning is open, social, personal, augmented, multirepresented, and learning is mobile. Strengthening the character of students must be accustomed to carrying out positive habits starting at home from maintaining cleanliness and health, carrying out useful activities, praying diligently and respecting and being polite to parents.

Marxism versus Bourdieu on domination, consciousness and resistance: An engagement with Burawoy on Bourdieu

Michael Burawoy’s recent book-length engagement with the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu constitutes, at root, a Marxist critique of its inability to conceive of the dominated as anything other than duped and submissive, despite this sitting uneasily with Bourdieu’s own research and political practice later in life. Burawoy wonders whether Bourdieusians will be able to recognise the limits of their master’s thought, and set about revising and extending it, in the same way as Marxists did of their own master. This article responds by doing precisely that. After clarifying a different reading of misrecognition, symbolic violence and habitus, it draws out a Bourdieusian theory of social change and a ‘thicker’ conception of contemporary social orders that can accommodate or dissolve Burawoy’s arguments while maintaining fundamental separation from the Marxist project.

Value changes in gender roles: Perspectives from three generations of Emirati women

Intergenerational value change, influenced by technological advancements, economic development, formal education, and urbanization, becomes especially complex when it occurs during times of rapid change, as in the case of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Through the lens of social change and human development theory, heavily constructed in the Gemeinschaft/Gesellschaft paradigm, this focused ethnography explored the push and pull of traditional boundaries within a collectivist society. Participants in this study (N = 24) were members of eight family triads of grandmothers, mothers, and daughters who represented eight different Emirati tribes from four cities in the UAE. Data were collected during semi-structured interviews using prompts and vignettes and through observation and the generation of field notes. Thematic analysis revealed evidence of cultural value change for gender equity and roles, family connectedness, and family relatedness. The findings underscore the need to support Emirati women as they navigate value change and try to rectify often conflicting role expectations.

Logics of Adoption of Perennial Crops in the Ivorian Forest Zone: The Case of Heveaculture in the Sub-Prefecture of Bonoua

The aim of this study is to define the logics that favoured the adoption of rubber cultivation to the detriment of pineapple cultivation in the sub-prefecture of Bonoua. In a mixed study, we collected information from actors who, by virtue of their function and social position, are in a position to inform us of the realities on the ground. To this end, we conducted the study with local authorities, administrative bodies, people working with or related to rubber, and the youth of Bonoua. We also interviewed representatives of the Burkinabe communities of Bonoua and Tchantchevé. With regard to data collection techniques, we used documentary research, observation and semi-directive interviews. These data were collected using an interview guide and a questionnaire. Based on the empirical study, we traced the history of the shift from pineapple to rubber and defined the logics of adoption of rubber farming on the basis of the theory of social change. This research is part of the sociology of rural development.

Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Interventions for Sexual and/or Gender Minority-Identified People and the Theories That Underpin Them: A Scoping Review.

This scoping review takes stock of the social and behavior change theories that have underpinned tobacco interventions tailored to sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) people and reflects on the need to target contextually based drivers of SGM tobacco use inequities. Data sources were Medline (Ovid), Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar (January 01, 1946 to October 27, 2022). Peer-reviewed publications in English from anywhere in the world describing SGM-tailored tobacco cessation and/or prevention interventions were independently identified by a librarian and screened by the first and third authors. Three hundred and sixty-seven articles were extracted; an additional two were found by hand searching. A total of 369 articles were assessed for eligibility. Exclusion criteria were: Not an intervention, review article, not SGM-tailored, or tobacco-focused. We documented the intervention name, intervention components, theoretical frameworks cited in reference to intervention design and/or implementation, and evaluation outcomes. All authors provided input on theoretical framework categorization. We identified 22 publications corresponding to 15 unique interventions. Individual-level behavior change theories (ie, those focusing on within-person behavior change processes) were the most prominent. Among these, the Transtheoretical Model was the most frequently utilized, while Social Inoculation Theory, Theory of Reasoned Action, and Theory of Psychological Reactance were also employed. A minority of interventions referenced frameworks that more explicitly engaged with SGM people's social contexts, namely, Theory of Diffusion of Innovations and Minority Stress Model. Future SGM-tailored tobacco interventions should leverage both the strengths of individual-level behavior change theories and those of frameworks that understand tobacco use inequities as indivisible from place, context, and policy. This scoping review describes the theoretical underpinnings of sexual and/or gender minority (SGM)-tailored tobacco interventions published in the peer-review literature in English. It reflects on the need for greater utilization of social and behavior change theoretical frameworks that can engage with unique drivers of SGM tobacco use and barriers to cessation.

Gender equality and innovation - towards sustainable development and social innovation using the example of activities undertaken by the European Union

The main research problem of the article is to present arguments relating to the growing importance of the concept of sustainable development and social innovation for which social order and gender equality are of key importance. Such identification of the concept of sustainable socio-economic development with social order and gender equality in the creation of contemporary innovations can be identified in a scientific perspective with the functional theory of social change by A.R. Redcliffe-Brown, B. Malinowski. On the other hand, in practical terms, with all types of activities, strategies or programs undertaken and implemented in the pragmatics of European Union activities (eg. the EC Program "A Union that strives for more", the Ljubljana Declaration, the Horizon Europe Program, including Women Tech EU). The article uses both traditional research methods as a middle-order system analysis and institutional-legal method, as well as new methods, including sociological neoinstitutionalism, and networks. The research techniques used in the analysis are mainly quantitative techniques, ie. desk research or analysis of the content of existing data, such as She Figures, GEM, Statista.com.

How does Chinese millennials’ active social media use relate to their future goals? A moderated mediation model

China has achieved great economic and technological development, with the internet emerging as a further significant factor. Chinese millennials have grown up with the internet, which has shaped their ideas and behaviors. According to social change and human development theory, rapid development and popularization of communication technologies drive human change. Compared with traditional media, social media has become more integrated into people’s daily lives, which makes the effects of social media more potent. The current study tested the mediating role of desire for fame in relation to the connection between active WeChat use and future goals, including intrinsic and extrinsic goals. A sample of 422 Chinese university students completed a survey measuring active WeChat use, future goals, desire for fame, and narcissism. Results indicated that active WeChat use was associated with both extrinsic and intrinsic goals. Moreover, desire for fame mediated the association between active WeChat use and external and intrinsic goals. The mediation path linking active social media use to intrinsic goals differed from that linking active social media use to external goals. Compared with individuals with low-level narcissism, individuals with high-level narcissism who actively use WeChat were more likely to desire fame, which further drives them to pursue external goals. These findings advance understanding of how and when active WeChat use is associated with future goals for millennials, thus providing more empirical data at an individual level to enrich theory in the Chinese context.

A WEIRD Theory? On the Prevalence of Western Folk Theory of Social Change in the West and Asia

According to Western folk theory of social change, modernization of societies causes them to become less warm but more competent over time. Since WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) societies are often at the forefront of modernization (with some exceptions, most notably China), these societies may also be most prone to internalizing this folk theory. In this research, we test this idea by making a comparison across a sample group of Western and Asian societies, using a self-report measure of perceived societal warmth and competence: The Social Change Perception Scale (SCPS). We found the scale to be metrically invariant among university students from a set of Western and Asian countries (United States, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, The Philippines, China, and Malaysia). In all seven countries, people expected their society to become more competent over time. In most countries, people also expected their society to become colder over time, although this tendency was slight and insignificant among New Zealanders and Americans. The perceived social cooling tended to be more prevalent in Asian countries rather than in Western countries. The countries’ degrees of WEIRDness, as reflected in their country-level indicators of individualism, education, industrialization, wealth, and democracy, did not adequately account for the observed variation. Though there is still much work to be done in applying the SCPS to broader samples and contexts, this study provides a starting point for measuring and understanding how people experience the social implications of modernization around the world.

Comparative and Constructive Analysis of Akan Marriage Performance: The Past and the Present

This study examined Akan marriage performance by comparing the present and the past constructively. Marriage is a significant institution in the Akan culture of Ghana, playing a crucial role in shaping societal values and norms. This study aims to conduct a comparative and constructive analysis of Akan marriage performance, exploring the changes that have occurred over time and their impact on contemporary practices. Comparatively, it was established that, Akan marriages were often arranged by parents or extended family members with little input from the individuals involved. However, in modern times, there is a shift towards more self-choice marriages, where individuals have greater freedom in selecting their partners. Constructively, it was revealed that, many Akan couples today strive to strike a balance between honouring traditional customs and incorporating modern elements into their marriage ceremonies. This blend allows them to maintain cultural connections while also adapting to contemporary realities. The study confined itself with primary source of data. Other authorities’ works that are related to marriage performance; old and present, were consulted and reviewed to match up with the current study. Descriptive and survey design was adapted for the investigation. Purposive sampling technique was used to elicit significant information for the analysis. Data were collected through interviews and observations. One hundred and fifty (150) participants were involved in the investigation. Theories that support the investigation are Karl Marx (1848) social change theory and Walt Rostow (1960) modernization theory. These theories provide different lenses through which to analyze and understand the comparative and constructive analysis of Akan marriage performances, considering the historical, cultural, social, and gender dynamics involved.
