Mapalus as a Socio-Cultural System in Minahasa Society

This study aims to examine Mapalus as a socio-cultural system in Minahasa society, with a focus on an in-depth understanding of its historical roots, core values, roles in social structures, and adaptations and challenges faced in the modern era. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature review type of research, involving a comprehensive analysis of various literature sources including books, journal articles, historical documents, and publications related to Mapalus and Minahasa culture. The results of the study indicate that Mapalus is a mutual cooperation system that has been deeply rooted in Minahasa society since ancient times, reflecting the values of cooperation, solidarity, and reciprocity. Mapalus has been shown to have an important role in the formation of social cohesion, resource management, and local economic development. Despite facing the challenges of modernization, Mapalus shows adaptability, evolution of form, and potential as a development model based on local wisdom. This study concludes that Mapalus remains relevant and has the potential to be a source of inspiration for the development of sustainable community-based development models.

Enacting policy change in Jordanian public schools: interrogating the reproductive habitus of Al Faza’a leadership

ABSTRACT An extensive longitudinal study examining the enactment of Jordan’s Education Reform for Knowledge Economy (ERfKE) policy in public schools uncovered the pervasive influence of Al-Faza’a leadership, which is deeply rooted in tribal values of solidarity and kinship. This article analyses Al-Faza’a leadership as a culturally potent force that profoundly challenges policy change for education reform. Through a sociological study guided by Bourdieu’s theory of practice, our findings reveal Al-Faza’a leadership as a distinctive form of illusio that is all the more powerful when intertwined with the doxa of Sheikhocracy. We illustrate how Al-Faza’a leadership embodies a persistent reproductive habitus, obstructing ERfKE’s transformative potential and exemplifying resistance to externally imposed and culturally ill-suited reform agendas in Jordan’s schools. By dissecting nuanced sociocultural dynamics shaping leadership practices, the article focuses on the experiences and perspectives of public school principals charged with policy enactment. It illuminates embedded cultural practices within schools and the Ministry of Education that are steeped in long-held traditions and beliefs which undermine policy objectives. This grounded theory-building study highlights the unsuitability of imported policy ideals that assume universal applicability and emphasizes the necessity of culturally sensitive approaches to education policymaking, policy enactment, and, hence, to education reform.

Social solidarity of students: university practices and fashioning tools

The problem of the research. Integration and consolidation are needed in modern society. Of particular importance is the maintenance of solidaristic practices, the "education" of which should be carried out by the educational system in general and higher education institutions in particular. Today it is important to understand what tools the Russian university system has for the formation of solidaristic thought and action. In this regard, it is important to rethink the experience of the Soviet era, when solidarity education was part of the ideological system. The aim of the article is to identify the most effective tools and methodologies for fostering solidarity consciousness among students at Russian universities, with due consideration of both national and global experience. Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis was employed to examine Russian and global scientific literature on the nature and evolution of social solidarity among young people and students, its underlying principles and manifestations. The system approach and the principle of additionality were employed to comprehend the instruments and practices of social solidarity formation in higher education institutions. The position of an "internal observer" integrated within the university system was augmented and refined by the research position of an "external observer", enabling a comprehensive examination of the university system. Results. The system of Russian higher education in modern conditions continues to be the most important actor of socialization of the young generation, designed to instill in them one of the basic values – the value of social solidarity. The educational subjects within the social and humanitarian block, which form part of the overall educational process, have the potential to facilitate the formation of social solidarity. In order to fully grasp this concept, it is necessary to apply it to the ongoing process of updating the aforementioned disciplines, which are designed to create a uniform set of content and teaching methods. This will help to foster a holistic worldview in young people, equipping them to engage with the world around them in an informed and empathetic manner. The process of fostering solidarity thinking and action cannot be reduced solely to the educational process, the improvement of the curriculum and the set of disciplines. The trinity of educational, educational and scientific processes is capable of forming social solidarity among modern Russian students. Conclusion. It is challenging to envisage Russian society without the pivotal role of higher education, which is tasked with actively shaping the value priorities of young people. In light of the crucial mission of socialization carried out by higher education institutions, which includes the formation of fundamental values and the promotion of solidarity practices among student youth, it is evident that the influence of higher education on the younger generation of Russian citizens is significant.

The Music Humanities Significance of the Standard Pitch 432Hz

This study focuses on the socio-cultural narrative reflected in the standard pitch of 432Hz, establishes an argument for representing the Semantic structure of music humanities, which is the practical line of humanities, and critically reflects on the main character of humanities that can be accepted as a general education text, which is the concept of humanities as an educational ideology. The purpose is to expand the framework of humanistic thinking based on and interpretive performance. Accordingly, in order to explore the historical trend of the concept of standard pitch, we attempted to analyze literature focusing on the pattern of pitch levels in Western society from the late 14th century to today and the discussion of political, social, and cultural aspects related to this in the 19th and 20th centuries. The major issues in the background of pitch standardization and the musical humanities implications of the historical identity of 432Hz were discussed. 432Hz expanded the horizon of the humanities discourse process on the communication value contained in cultural diversity and presented another possibility to converge on a musical humanities trajectory, which sheds light on the value of cultural solidarity through consilient thinking, thus contributing to social It provides a foundation for understanding that can be transferred to the terrain. Accordingly, this study embraces the humanistic message reflected in the history of pitch standardization to share musical humanistic reasons as practical humanities with society in general, and to expand the dimension of cultural literacy to another level by reexamining the social function of music. We hope that it will be accepted as a general educational text.

Introducing innovative policy instrument to reduce antibiotics use. Relevant evidence from Bulgaria

Abstract Background of the public health challenge Excessive individual consumption of antibiotics (ABs) increases global antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Therefore, shaping consumers’ behaviors towards responsible ABs use is an essential strategy in the battle with the silent pandemic of AMR. The EU One Health (OH) Action Plan against AMR targets making Europe a best-practice region. Overall consumption of ABs in the EU decreased significantly, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bulgaria is the only EU country that has reported an annual increase in ABs use during this period (ECDC data). A growing part of Bulgarians, believe that ‘ABs kill viruses’ and is unaware that ‘unnecessary use of ABs makes them ineffective’ (Eurobarometer 2022). This limited understanding of adequate ABs use resulted in counterproductive behaviors that demand change. Introducing innovative policy instrument as a tool for behavioral change: Undeniably, drug prescription monitoring has the potential to change consumers’ behaviors. In October 2023 mandatory electronic prescribing (e-Rx) for ABs was introduced in Bulgaria at a primary healthcare level. Consequently, there was an observed decline exceeding 30% in ABs sales (IQVIA Bulgaria data), evidencing a reduction in ABs consumption. However, there were negative reactions by the stakeholders, due to time-consuming procedures, nonoptimal IT infrastructure, etc., and that led to e-Rx-moratorium. Finally, in April 2024, the e-Rx is sustainably introduced. Conclusions Legislative measures, like e-Rx, can hinder the chaotic use of ABs. Moreover, Bulgarians need to reflect on their behaviors and values of solidarity which OH offers. Herewith, a multidisciplinary team of academic educators unite their OH efforts in raising awareness related to AMR and the rational use of ABs. Years of national endeavors toward healthcare digitalisation led to the introduction of e-Rx for ABs in Bulgaria. Research will prove its relevance for the rest of Europe. Key messages • To the European community: The introduction of the innovative policy tool (e-Rx for antibiotics) in Bulgaria is a significant national effort in making Europe a best-practice region regarding AMR. • To the Bulgarian society: Antibiotics are not bonbons! Responsible ABs use of every one of us can contribute to the EU efforts to manage AMR. In the context of AMR, every person is a stakeholder.

It's not about building houses; it's about building people's power: Conversation with Carmen and Andrea from the Movimiento territorial de Liberación (MTL) Buenos Aires

This conversation offers a look into the practices of the Movimiento Territorial de Liberación (MTL), a political and social organization in Argentina. It highlights the organization’s history, values, and significant projects, such as housing developments and community initiatives. Founded in 1999 after a break from the Argentine Communist Party over ideological differences, the MTL has its roots in Marxist-Leninist thought. Their work include building neighborhoods and developing collective housing for those displaced by neoliberal policies. The MTL’s projects go beyond merely providing shelter; they aim to foster a way of life that embodies their values of self-management, solidarity, and resistance against capitalist exploitation. Carmen, a leader within MTL, shares their journey, the challenges faced, and the ideological foundations of their work. Andrea, another key figure, manages finances and emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in their operations. The conversation also touches on the broader Latin American and global context, situating MTL's struggle within a larger framework of resistance against neoliberalism and imperialism.

The status of health information systems and digital transformation in the European Region

Abstract Although there have been investments in health information systems (HIS) and digitalization, WHO/Europe’s work with Member States (MS) shows that much can be improved still. Typically, there is a strong focus on data collection, but less on analysis and knowledge translation, resulting in available data not being optimally used to support decision making. Standards for data exchange and interoperability have not yet been fully implemented. Efforts are underway to train healthcare professionals, yet only half of MS have developed policies for digital health literacy. Fewer still have implemented a comprehensive digital inclusion plan, leaving disadvantaged populations at risk of falling behind. In line with the traditionally strong focus on HIS strengthening in WHO’s work, the European Programme of Work 2020-2025 (EPW) emphasises the need for MS to improve and modernise their HIS to ensure that decisions are data driven. One of the EPW flagship initiatives is Empowerment through Digital Health, promoting the leveraging and scaling up of digital transformation for better health. The Regional digital health action plan for the WHO European Region 2023-2030 outlines the strategic actions needed to achieve this, while fully respecting the values of equity, solidarity and human rights. Collaboration with MS and international partners is vital in this work. WHO/Europe has established several MS-driven health information networks in the past, most notably the European Health Information Initiative (the EHII). The EHII in 2023 has made a restart in the form of the European Health Information Network (HIN). The HIN will guide the work under the EU-funded action ‘Supporting Member States in the WHO European Region in strengthening health information systems and boosting health data governance’, which will be implemented by WHO/Europe. This strong European Commission and WHO/Europe partnership will be a main catalyst for HIS improvement in the Region the coming years.

Implementasi Program Rehabilitasi Sosial Rumah Tidak Layak Huni dalam Peningkatan Kualitas Hunian Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah Pada Kelurahan Rungkut Kidul Kota Surabaya

Social rehabilitation of uninhabitable houses aims to restore social function and improve the quality of housing for the poor through improving the condition of the house and/or environmental infrastructure, either in whole or in part, by applying the spirit of mutual cooperation, togetherness and social values. the value of social solidarity in society. This research examines the implementation of the Social Rehabilitation Program for Uninhabitable Houses (RS-Rutilahu) in Rungkut Kidul Village, Surabaya City, with a focus on improving the quality of housing for low-income communities through collaboration between the government and the community. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of the RS-Rutilahu program in improving the quality of housing for low-income communities in Rungkut Kidul Village. Based on David C. Korten's program implementation theory, this research examines three main aspects: the program itself, the implementing organization, and the beneficiaries. The research results show that this program has succeeded in achieving the house improvement target, but there are still obstacles related to community participation and strict administrative requirements. It is hoped that these findings can become a reference for increasing program effectiveness in the future.

Re-examining consumer engagement in the circular economy

PurposeThis study aims to deepen knowledge of consumers’ attitudes towards circular economy products by focusing on the enabling factors that influence their behaviours. The success of the closed-loop economy depends not only on innovation but also on the active participation of the consumer. In these models, the authors witness the transition from the centrality of production to the centrality of use. This paper investigates Italian consumers’ tendency to purchase second-hand products in the clothing sector, one of the most polluting industrial sectors, focusing on the enabling factors that influence their behaviours, the reasons for their purchases and the existence of differences between market segments.Design/methodology/approachTo accomplish this aim, a two-step investigation was carried out: a literature review and a quantitative analysis through a snowball survey involving 963 individuals, noting that non-random sampling restricts the validity of the findings within the considered sub-set of the Italian population. Statistical analyses were performed using the R 4.1.2 software environment along with Rstudio IDE v.1.4.1106 and the packages FactoMineR for cluster analysis and vcd for mosaic plots.FindingsEnvironmental knowledge/awareness and solidarity values have a significant positive effect on consumers’ attitudes and purchasing behaviour towards circular products within the selected sample. A strong statistically significant association (p-value ≪ 0.01) is confirmed between those who consciously purchase sustainable clothing and those who are members/supporters of environmental associations, know sustainable brands and the advantages of the circular economy. Significant relations also emerged in reference to gender and age. In detail, the purchasing of sustainable clothing was found to be positively associated with females and generation Y respondents. Theoretical, institutional and managerial implications stem from the experimental findings of this study.Originality/valueThis study investigates the point of view of demand. From this perspective, this paper proposes a consumer engagement paradigm that highlights the motivations and enabling factors prompting participation in circular economy processes and affecting purchasing practices and attitudes towards second-hand clothing products with regard to Italian consumers.

Solidarity, marginalised groups, and COVID-19 lockdowns: censoriousness and penal exceptionalism in Norwegian and Danish prisons during the pandemic

Some of the most marginalised and exposed populations during the COVID-19 pandemic have been those incarcerated in penal institutions. In the present article we compare how Norway and Denmark handled the pandemic in their prison systems and analyse these efforts through the lens of how the authorities tried to invoke specific national cultures of social solidarity during the crisis. In both countries we find that increased isolation, inactivity, lack of information, and loss of trust and contact with the outside world aggravated the prison experience. However, in Norway a bigger effort was made, compared to Denmark, to lower the prison population, as well as to create possibilities for maintaining contact with friends and families through video-visits. We then analyse the pandemic prison policies in the context of how both governments through very specific national terminologies appealed to an alleged community spirit. We examine the role and situation of prisoners in connection with these national and cultural projects of social solidarity, and find that in several cases prisoners reacted to the restrictive pandemic regimes by displaying a censorious attitude towards prison staff and authorities much in the manner originally described by Thomas Mathiesen (1965). Prisoners, in other words, held the authorities accountable to their call for community spirit and the values of social solidarity they claimed to represent. This also raises a question concerning the degree to which Danish and Norwegian policies and practices live up to the notion of Nordic penal exceptionalism, or whether the crisis unveiled different penal values.

PERAN KESENIAN SARAFAL ANAM DALAM MENINGKATKAN NILAI MORALITAS PEMUDA

Humans are cultural creatures. Through reason, humans can develop culture. Likewise, humans live and depend on culture as a result of their creation. Therefore, culture has a big function for humans and society. Air Periukan Village is one of the villages in Bengkulu Province. The people of Air Periukan Village are rich in oral culture and literature. Sarafal Anam performing arts is one of the cultures of the people of Air Periukan Village which is still alive in the community. It should be noted that the Sarafal Anam performance culture owned by the people of Air Periukan Village, based on the results of data analysis and discussion, the author concludes that the Sarafal Anam art performance for the people of Air Periukan Village has a role as a place of expression for the community, especially the youth in Air Village. This is an impact that has an impact on increasing self-confidence by having the courage to appear, a sense of responsibility to preserve art and culture, akhlakul kharimah by imitating the attitude of the Prophet and becoming a barrier to despicable attitudes that are rampant among young people today such as promiscuity, brawls, illegal racing, gambling and other things that can disturb peace. Through the Sarafal Anam performing arts, which also contain the values of solidarity and togetherness, they will always be well fostered. Especially for youth in Air Periukan Village.

Should Patients Be Allowed to Pay Out of Pocket? The Ethical Dilemma of Access to Expensive Anti-cancer Treatments in Universal Healthcare Systems: A Dutch Case Study.

With the increasing prices of newly approved anti-cancer treatments contributing to rising healthcare costs, healthcare systems are facing complex economic and ethical dilemmas. Especially in countries with universal access and mandatory health insurance, including many European countries, the organizing of funding or reimbursement of expensive new treatments can be challenging. When expensive anti-cancer treatments are deemed safe and effective, but are not (yet) reimbursed, ethical dilemmas arise. In countries with universal healthcare systems, such as the Netherlands, this gives rise to a rather new ethical dilemma: should patients be allowed to pay out of pocket, using private funds, for medical treatments? On the one hand, to allow patients to pay for treatments out of pocket would be in line with the medical-ethical principles of beneficence and autonomy. On the other hand, allowing patients to pay out of pocket for anti-cancer treatments may lead to unequal access to medical treatments and could be considered unfair to patients who are less well-off. Thus, it could undermine the values of equality and solidarity, on which the Dutch healthcare system is built. Furthermore, out-of-pocket payments could potentially lead to financial hardship and distress for patients, which would conflict with the principle of non-maleficence. Does this mean that patients can rightfully be denied access to approved but not (yet) reimbursed anti-cancer treatments? In this article, we will use the Dutch healthcare system, which is based on equal access and solidarity, as a case study to draw attention to this-currently relatively unknown and unresolved-dilemma and to clarify the values at stake. This article contributes to current discussions about the societal problem of rising healthcare costs by informing policymakers, healthcare professionals, and ethicists about the ethical dilemma of out-of-pocket payments in universal healthcare systems, and aims to support health authorities, policymakers and health professionals in developing policy for whether to allow out-of-pocket payment-based access to newly approved but (too) expensive anti-cancer treatments.

Collective intentions of the social economy: An experiment on the community currency of the French Basque country

Community currencies (CCs) are common social economy instruments for aligning market transactions with social commitments. They change incentives, encouraging trade within the CC network, but may also symbolize and thereby amplify users’ commitment to social values of solidarity and cooperation. The behavioral effect of the second channel, moreover, is clouded by endogenous use of the CC: commitment encourages use, but does use also trigger commitment? We disentangle the direction of causality with a lab-in-the-field ultimatum game experiment, which confronts participants with a choice between more or less competitive responses. By exogenously varying the currency in which the game is played (CC or euros), we isolate the causal effect of the CC on behavior. Self-declared regular users of the currency are less competitive when playing in the CC than when playing in euros. This is not due to unobserved differences in the individuals, because when playing in euros, their behavior is the same as non-users’. Nor is it due to non-convertibility of the CC, as non-users’ behavior is not affected by the currency. We therefore isolate the CC as a “trigger of cooperativeness” for those who have a base-level of commitment to it.

Beyond the Financial Horizon: A Critical Review of Social Responsibility in Latin American Credit Unions

Credit unions in Latin America play an important role in the financial system, making a significant contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through their focus on financial inclusion, sustainability, and economic resilience. Assessing the social responsibility of these cooperatives ensures ethical, sustainable operations that benefit the population. Unlike traditional financial institutions, cooperatives are based on principles focused on mutual benefit, democratic participation, and responsibility toward their members and the community. This critical literature review, conducted through scientific databases, synthesizes findings on social responsibility in credit unions. The financial system is relevant for global economic stability and growth, comprising institutions like credit unions that facilitate capital flow. It operates through financial instruments, intermediaries, and markets, ensuring efficient resource allocation and risk management. Effective financial management involves planning, organizing, directing, and controlling resources to achieve stability and growth, integrating social responsibility. Credit unions in Latin America highlight cooperative principles, emphasizing member service, community development, and sustainable practices over profit maximization, thereby fostering economic inclusion and ethical business practices. In conclusion, credit unions provide affordable financial services while promoting values of solidarity and equity. However, as entities directly linked to communities, it is essential for them to monitor their actions in terms of social responsibility. This is important to measure and ensure their impact on society and its context. Finally, future research should focus on balancing economic viability with social responsibility, exploring innovative models, governance frameworks, and technological impacts.

The experiences of medical and pharmacy students participating in a collaborative online international learning on social accountability and global health: a qualitative study

BackgroundSocial accountability aims to promote a collective ethic that upholds the fundamental values of equity, efficiency, solidarity, and social justice in healthcare and is now considered as a critical mission of academic health centers. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a pedagogical approach that uses digital technology to provide experiential international learning, specifically for increasingly diverse and multicultural healthcare work environments. The SOLID’AIRS program is an innovative French-language COIL that aims to set up international exchanges and workshops on social accountability between health sciences students. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of participation in the SOLID’AIRS program on medical and pharmacy students.MethodFive universities in four different countries were involved in SOLID’AIRS. We conducted a qualitative study by performing individual, semi-directed interviews with students who participated in the program from 2021 to 2022. A thematic analysis was conducted in five chronological phases: (1) reading, (2) descriptive coding, (3) conceptual coding, (4) identification of themes and (5) production of a coherent thematic structure.ResultsAfter including sixteen student participants, 13 medical and 3 pharmacy students, we identified four main themes related to the impact of participation: (1) previous experiences in social accountability and international learning, (2) perception of the program, (3) perceived impacts of the program, and (4) difficulties encountered and avenues to improve the program. Overall, the program was well received by all participants who reported the advantages and limitations of the online learning format. The primary advantage of this format was its feasibility. The participants noted both professional and personal benefits of the program for their current and future practice, including greater reflexivity towards health sciences practice. Based on the challenges faced during the program, particularly in coordinating group work and communication, participants suggested increased supervision of group projects by collaborators, and organizing at least one in-person meeting for future editions. The participants reported encountering difficulties during the COIL and suggested ways of improvement.ConclusionParticipating in a COIL on social accountability appears to be an effective way to adopt a reflective approach to medical practice and should be implemented and evaluated in other educational contexts.

콘텐츠 액티비즘의 이론적 탐색

With the advent of the smartphone and Internet era, individuals who have become one-person media have become able to film their lives, tell stories, and produce content. In addition, personal media, channels, and platforms function as a place to produce social value through communicating with others through one's own content, solidarity, and sometimes cooperative practice. Meanwhile, the speed and distance-reducing technology of hyper-connectivity also creates another form of alienation by subordinating individuals to new ideologies of information surveillance, control, and algorithms. In order to escape from a life dependent on technology and actively and independently engage in cultural practice, meaningful communication with others must be realized through the production and distribution of cultural contents as a means of communication. According to Lee Ki-sang, cultural contents contain the ideology and values that allow humans, as cultural beings, to embody their own identity and express it to pursue their own style. In modern society, where media communication has become a daily routine, ‘I’ without self-expression through cultural content can be said to be an absent entity among people. Jandrić (P.) describes the collective intelligence required by the digital age as “I think. we learn We propose a new principle of thinking, “we-think, we learn, and we act.” Regarding the identity of modern people living in a post-pandemic world, Park Chi-wan argues for a ‘transition to global citizens.’ A global citizen refers to a person who breaks away from human-centered thinking and learns and practices how to coexist and live with other living things. In order to realize global public good, a ‘new form of knowledge’ must be created to solve global problems, and a new solidarity must be established in recognition of the right to data and life through connection and access, openness and disclosure, etc. through transnational cooperation. It can be said that the realization of true global citizenship is that no living being on Earth is excluded or discriminated against, and that people work together and make sacrifices for the common good. In this study, we seek to establish a theoretical foundation for the expressions and actions of cultural subjects who practice activism based on existing content activism research results. By exploring the representation of ethical issues and the value of nonviolent practice through Judith Butler's nonviolent discourse, we examine the value of humanistic imagination and solidarity that Contents Activists should pursue.

연대의 관점으로 바라본 <아기장수전설>의 현대적 활용 양상과 의미

<The Legend of Mighty Baby> is a legend and can be said to be a representative legend handed down in various forms of Korea. Therefore, in this paper, we looked at the modern utilization aspect of <The Legend of Mighty Baby>, focusing on the webtoon <Moving> and the drama <The Rebel: A Thief Who Stole the People>. In the webtoon <Moving> and the drama <The Rebel>, characters who can be called “Mighty Baby” appear and lead the narrative. However, they get a different ending from the legend. In the webtoon <Moving>, Mighty Babies have grown well under the protection of their families, and they are protecting a peaceful society and pioneering independent lives according to their will through solidarity. In addition, the drama <Rebel> showed a scene in which the Mighty Baby grew well under the family’s protection and succeeded in resisting the ruling system based on solidarity with the public. As such, the modern utilization aspect of <The Legend of Mighty Baby> has a different ending from the original, and such a successful and positive ending was realized through familyship and solidarity between people, confirming that it emphasizes the value and necessity of solidarity that is important to modern society.

Relaxations of sign symmetry and the weighted solidarity values

In this paper, we define and study the class of weighted solidarity values. First, we show that the weighted solidarity values are determined by an underlying procedure of sharing marginal contribution. Then, we propose two relaxations of sign symmetry, called sign symmetry for team mates and weak sign symmetry for team mates, that together with efficiency, additivity, and the A-null player property characterize the classes of positively weighted solidarity values and weighted solidarity values, respectively.

Media Consumption Influence on Enhancing Public Participation Influenced by Perception and Solidarity Values in Timor-Leste

This study has aim to determine the effect of political consumption in mass media on increasing public participation in Timor-Leste, which is influenced by perceptions and solidarity values. To answer this research questions we applied the Uses and Gratification theory and conducted a survey of 68 people from Comoro Village, Dom Aleixo Administrative Post, Dili, Timor-Leste. This study found that H1 with a sig value of 0.004 <0.05 or t count with a value of 2.959> t table with a value of 0.235, then Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. So there is an influence between variable (X) and variable (A1) on variable (Y). H2 with a sig value of 0.008> 0.05 or t count with a value of 1.773> t table with a value of 3.846, then Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. There is an influence between variables (X), (A2) on (Y). The results of H3 obtained a sign value of 0.041> 0.05 or t count with a value of 2.083> t table with a value of 0.235, then Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. There is an influence between variables X, A1 and A2 on variable Y. The results show that theoretically community participation is influenced by other factors, namely media use, political issues and solidarity values. Practically, media content as a way and its delivery in the action of how to participate in society. Thus, this research shows that political content in the media has a major influence on the level of public participation and solidarity of the vulnerable group, so it needs to continue to be developed in Timor-Leste society.
