This qualitative descriptive study aims to analyze the factors causing the brawl between Sumba and Alor youth in the STIM Kupang City area, and to examine the roles of parents, the community, and the police in handling it. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through observation and in-depth interviews with Sumbanese and Alorese youth, police officers, and local community leaders. The results indicate that the brawl was triggered by alcohol consumption, peer provocation, and misunderstandings. Efforts to resolve the conflict through mediation, peace agreements, and traditional approaches have not been fully effective due to lingering resentment between the two groups. In conflict management, parents and the community play a role through education, supervision, and mediation, while the police employ preventive, repressive, and peacemaking measures. Based on the research findings, recommended redress strategies include a preventive approach through supervision and education, a repressive approach through rule enforcement and guidance, and a curative approach (restorative justice) to restore social relations and prevent recurrence of the conflict. These strategies are expected to foster harmonious relationships between Sumbanese and Alorese youth in the future

This study aims to analyze the implementation of stunting prevention policies in Naukekusa Village, Laenmanen Subdistrict, Malaka Regency, using Charles O. Jones’s (1996) policy implementation theory, which emphasizes three pillars of success: organization, interpretation, and application. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that all three pillars of implementation have not been optimally achieved. Coordination among stakeholders remains weak, both implementers and the community have limited understanding of the policy substance, and program application has yet to fully adapt to the socio-economic conditions and traditional values of the local community. Documentary data show relatively stagnant stunting prevalence rates: 23.9% in 2021, decreasing to 21.2% in 2022, and slightly increasing to 21.3% in 2023. This minimal reduction suggests that existing policies have not effectively addressed the root causes of the problem. The study underscores the importance of context-sensitive stunting prevention policies that are rooted in local wisdom and integrate active community participation to achieve sustainable effectiveness.

Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan (AI) telah membawa transformasi signifikan dalam dunia pendidikan, termasuk ruang kelas sosiologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis risiko otomatisasi teknologi berbasis AI bagi mahasiswa sosiologis di UNDANA, dengan fokus pada tiga domain pembelajaran: kognisi, afek, dan keterampilan psikomotorik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui tinjauan pustaka dan wawancara semi-terstruktur.

Temuan ini mengungkapkan bahwa otomatisasi AI dalam proses pembelajaran siswa telah meningkatkan peluang pembelajaran yang dipersonalisasi, yang mengakomodasi siswa dengan karakteristik dan gaya belajar yang berbeda. Namun, inovasi ini sekaligus menimbulkan risiko sosial baru dalam ranah kognisi, afek, dan keterampilan psikomotorik, tiga aspek krusial dalam evaluasi pembelajaran. Fenomena ini sejalan dengan apa yang digambarkan Ulrich Beck sebagai “efek bumerang” (Beck, 1992).

Relasi Agama, Masyarakat, dan Kebudayaan: Telaah Teologis dan Implikasinya bagi Pendidikan Agama Kristen

This research is motivated by the human religious phenomenon, which arises from an impulse to seek supernatural power to overcome life’s limitations and threats a process that manifests in total self-surrender and sustained patterns of social action within a society. Given this context, the study examines the dialectical relationship between religion, society, and culture from the perspective of the sociology of religion, and explores the extent to which religion can be understood as an integral part of a society’s culture. The research aims to provide a conceptual and theological analysis of the dialectical interaction among these three dimensions, drawing upon the frameworks of classical and modern sociology specifically the ideas of Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, and Peter L. Berger. The findings indicate that religion, society, and culture are dialectically interconnected through three primary moments: externalization, objectivation, and internalization. In this process, religion functions to establish an order of meaning (nomization) that liberates human beings from anomic chaos. Religion serves an integrative function, fostering collective solidarity (from a Durkheimian perspective) while simultaneously driving the rationalization of social action and the ethics of daily life (from a Weberian perspective). Consequently, religion is viewed as a component of culture, manifested through patterned actions such as the performance of rituals, the use of language, ethical expressions, and religious symbols as well as through a system of transcendent values embodied in everyday life. Within this framework, religious traditions and their associated meanings undergo continuous transformation and social regeneration, all while the core doctrines of the sacred scriptures remain unchanged.
