Islamic traditional activities will always intersect with interfaith communities. One of which is mosque loudspeakers that have been used for adhan at least five times a day. Mosque loudspeakers in some cultural setting, especially in rural communities, have been used to convey information rather than merely for adhan. However, in urban setting, the usage of mosque loudspeaker has been drawn pros and cons. Instead of providing peace, it creates noise in public spaces. Even in 2016, conflicts over mosque loudspeakers sparked and led to the burning of a worship center. The Minister of Religion issued a Circular Letter No. 05 of 2022 concerning the rules of mosque loudspeakers in order to prevent the re-emergence of inter-religious conflicts caused by mosque loudspeakers. This policy, however, has invited a polemic among public as it is considered lack of understanding of the cultural aspects behind the usage of mosque loudspeaker. This study aims to analyze the Circular Letter which is considered to have left cultural sociological consideration and seems to hegemonize the subcultures of urban communities over the traditional communities. The research applied to a literature study. This research found that the policy needs to be reviewed as it was considered not addressing the core of the problem.

As part of popular culture, film is able to both reflect and shape the understanding and attitudes towards gender in a society. However, despite the increase of gender awareness in Indonesian society, there are still many filmmakers unfamiliar with gender issues. In fact, the unequal treatment and underrepresentation of female characters in film is a real issue within the Indonesian film industry. It is seen in the lack of films that positively representing women. Often, women are portrayed as being inferior to men. In addition, many films still sexually objectify women. This study attempts to analyze the depiction of women between highest-grossing films made by female directors and those directed by males. This paper aims to highlight how female participation within film production influences women’s representation in popular films. The data is analysed using the Bechdel test — a tool to measure representation of women in fictional stories. Furthermore, this study examines female attitudes, characters, and their roles within the film, as well as the ways in which other roles respond to female roles.

Small, Micro, and Medium scale Enterprise (SMME) mostly begin in the form of family based business. In this type of business, division of labor is also based on the family division of labor, which is mostly based on the gender division of labor. Drawing from the cases of six SMME in Leuwiliang market at Bogor City, this study aims at analyzing how gender values, norms, and ideology have influenced the gender based division of labor in the family and business of SMME. The study was conducted using a qualitative method with a case study model. Findings of this study suggest that all of the six SMME divide the labor based on gender and that patriarchy has much influence on it. Both husband and wife are involved in the business, but the portion and contribution of each of them are different. Some SMME tend to divide the labor in more patriarchal ways than others. The difference comes from gender values, norms, and ideology believed and practiced by the family. The more patriarchal the family, the more their tendency to divide work based on gender; and the more they give power to men than women. These findings also suggest that in SMME, gender inequality still persists and puts women in the disadvantageous position despite their growing contribution in the family business.

Sistem matrilinieal tidak dikenal dalam masyarakat Jawa. Namun, ternyata sistem ini dapat ditemukan pada masyarakat di Dusun Sawangan, Petungkriyono, Jawa Tengah. Dalam sistem matrilienal yang berlaku, perempuan memiliki hak utama atas warisan orang tua. Sistem ini tidak hanya menentukan kepemilikan aset, tetapi juga membentuk struktur sosial serta relasi gender antar laki-laki dan perempuan. Penelitian ini membahasan pengalaman laki-laki yang hidup dalam masyarakat matrilineal, khususnya strategi yang mereka lakukan untuk mengatasi keterbatasannya terhadap akses harta keluarga. Dengan pendekatan etnografi, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi berbagai upaya yang dilakukan oleh laki-laki untuk membangun modal ekonomi dan meningkatkan status sosial dengan cara memanfaatkan akses lahan hutan melalui program social forestry, kerja sama dalam sistem upah gembala serta investasi dalam komoditas kopi dan kayu. Melalui perspektif teori strukturasi Anthony Giddens, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa laki-laki Sawangan tidak tunduk atau menentang sistem matrilineal yang ada, tetapi bertindak sebagai agen aktif yang secara strategis mereproduksi nilai-nilai maskulinitas dalam struktur masyarakat dengan cara yang halus. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa meskipun laki-laki Sawangan tidak memiliki kepemilikan tanah secara formal, mereka tetap memiliki ruang untuk berperan dalam ekonomi lokal. Dengan demikian, sistem matrilineal tidak serta-merta menyebabkan marginalisasi laki-laki, tetapi tetap membuka ruang bagi dinamika gender dan pergerakan strategis dalam struktur sosial yang ada.

Pembentukan Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN) melalui Peraturan Presiden Nomor 83 Tahun 2024 merupakan reformasi kelembagaan strategis untuk memperkuat tata kelola kebijakan gizi nasional yang sebelumnya ditandai oleh fragmentasi aktor dan lemahnya koordinasi lintas sektor. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kapasitas organisasi BGN serta implikasinya terhadap kemampuan negara dalam mengimplementasikan kebijakan gizi berskala nasional, khususnya Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-analitis melalui analisis konten dokumen kebijakan resmi dan literatur akademik, dengan menerapkan kerangka kapasitas organisasi untuk menilai kesenjangan antara kapasitas kelembagaan formal dan kapasitas implementasi aktual. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa BGN memiliki kapasitas potensial yang kuat secara de jure, didukung oleh mandat politik, kewenangan regulatif, dan sumber daya terpusat. Namun, efektivitas implementasi MBG masih menghadapi keterbatasan pada level operasional, terutama terkait koordinasi lintas sektor, kesiapan logistik, transfer pengetahuan, dan kapasitas adaptif pelaksana di daerah. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pembentukan lembaga sentralistik tidak secara otomatis meningkatkan kapasitas implementasi tanpa penguatan koordinasi horizontal dan pembelajaran organisasi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan jangka panjang BGN sangat bergantung pada kemampuannya mentransformasi kapasitas formal dan modal politik menjadi kapasitas operasional yang adaptif dan terintegrasi. The establishment of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) through Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2024 represents a strategic institutional reform aimed at strengthening national nutrition policy governance, which had previously been characterized by fragmented actors and weak cross-sectoral coordination. This study examines the organizational capacity of BGN and its implications for the state’s ability to implement large-scale nutrition policies, particularly the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study employs content analysis of official policy documents and academic literature, applying an organizational capacity framework to assess the gap between formal institutional capacity and actual implementation capacity. The findings indicate that (BGN) possesses strong de jure capacity, supported by political mandate, regulatory authority, and centralized resources. However, the effectiveness of MBG implementation remains constrained at the operational level, particularly in terms of cross-sectoral coordination, logistical readiness, knowledge transfer, and the adaptive capacity of local implementers. These findings demonstrate that the establishment of a centralized institution does not automatically enhance implementation capacity without strengthened horizontal coordination and organizational learning. The study concludes that the long-term success of BGN depends on its ability to transform formal capacity and political capital into adaptive and integrated operational capacity.
