Redefine Our Nationalism? Critical Reflection on Indonesian Nationalism as a "Joint Project": Case Study of Post-1998 Racial Communal Conflict
Authors: Donny Maulana  , Hariyono Hariyono , Utami Indah Wahyu Puji
Published: January 2025

The discourse on Indonesian Nationalism will never end. As the basis of the state, nationalism needs to continue to be reflected to remain relevant to current developments. The phenomenon of narrowing the meaning of Indonesian Nationalism and stagnation in the mainstream narrative which leads to the fossilisation of meaning is also an important and urgent topic to study. The big question is whether Indonesian Nationalism is still on rails and corridors that are relevant to the current condition of the nation. This article will specifically dissect in a deconstructive manner the paradigm of Indonesian Nationalism as a "joint project" as a form of response to stagnation and narrow mainstream narratives about nationalism. This paper also analyzes it in a historical framework, specifically taking a case study of racial communal conflict after the 1998 Reformation using the analytical knife of Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities. There are three sub-discussions which will explain the background conditions and challenges of Indonesian Nationalism, the deconstruction of the paradigm of Indonesian Nationalism and how nationalism should be addressed as a "joint project" of a nation.
Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate: Role in Shipping and Trade in the Malacca Strait in the 18th Century
Authors: Hasudungan Anju Nofarof , Sunarti Linda
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate in shipping and trade in the Melaka (Malacca) Strait in the XVIII century. By using the historical method of literature study approach, there is evidence of the triumph of the Siak Sri Indrapura sultanate in the Malacca Strait. The Siak Sultanate in 1767 under the rule of King Ismail showed its dominance in the territorial waters of East Sumatra by controlling the Tin trade on Bangka Island. The expansion of Siak influence during the reign of King Ismail continued to grow significantly starting from Terengganu, Jambi, and Palembang. In 1780 Siak's territory they reached the Langkat, Deli, and Serdang areas. The Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate took advantage of the control of trade through the Straits of Malacca. This success was also supported by the ability of the Sultanate of Siak to control the pirates in the area. Search results from Dutch records recorded that in 1783 there were 171 merchant ships from Siak to Malacca. The position of Siak can be said to be a triangular area of trade between the Dutch in Malacca and the British on the island of Pinang. At that time, the Siak River was an area where various trade products were collected, ranging from camphor, tin, and gold. Even the people of Siak are active in the timber industry, especially for shipbuilding and other construction.
Poetry of the Bima Kingdom as a Counter-Narrative to Colonialism, Scientism, Anthropocentrism and Radicalism
Authors: Umar Umar , Mardan Mardan , Aksa Aksa
Published: January 2025

This article discusses Syair Kingdom Bima, a 19th-century Malay poem from the Bima Sultanate, as a counter-narrative that challenges dominant discourses of colonialism, scientism, anthropocentrism, and radicalism. Through a new historicism and intertextuality approach, this article examines the narrative strategy of the Bima Kingdom Syair in guiding power dynamics. By focusing on the internal conflict and ethical complexity within the Bima Sultanate, the poem implicitly rejects colonial narratives. This emphasizes the importance of local knowledge systems and the importance of ethical leadership rooted in Islamic principles.  Bima Kingdom Poetry's depiction of the relationship between humans, nature and God is in sharp contrast to the Western scientific and anthropocentric view which prioritizes human power over nature. The poem interprets the eruption of Mount Tambora as being caused by a cosmic imbalance caused by human actions (the Sultan of Tambora's violation of the moral and spiritual order). By advocating spiritual transformation and moral introspection, Syair Kingdom Bima offers a solution to radicalism.

Modern society is concerned about pollution and fossil fuel depletion. Many studies examined biodiesel substitution. Renewable diesel fuel, known as "biofuel", is derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, and grease. Based on the ASTM D7567, the highest ratio of biodiesel that can be used without modification is up to B20. The problem arises if the biodiesel ratio is higher than B20. More than B20, the engine performance will degrade. However, biodiesel's ability to run on diesel engines without modification makes it appealing, but it may affect engine performance and emissions because of its higher cetane number and lower volatility. These qualities can affect diesel combustion and fuel injections, producing less power and higher nitrogen oxides (NOx). Thus, this research uses palm oil and isobutanol fuel additives to boost engine performance and exhaust emissions. This experiment uses fuel samples of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% isobutanol and POME (B30). Thediesel fuel sample acted as the baseline fuel of the experiment. The engine performance parameters including brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, and torque. Isobutanol can enhance the performance of biodiesel fuel, particularly at higher speeds. B30ISO20 consistently exhibited the highest brake power with an increment of 8% and the lowest brake-specific fuel consumption with an improvement of 26.55% compared to diesel, respectively. The torque of the fuel sample improved as much as 8% with the addition of isobutanol, especially at higher concentrations of B30ISO20.

Published: January 2025

We investigated relations between observer gender and sexual victimization history and perceptions of victim likability using two existing datasets, with Study 2 used to replicate Study 1. U.S. university students and community members (Study 1 N = 760; Study 2 N = 1,112) rated experimental vignettes describing experiences of sexual violence and other less stigmatized traumatic events (e.g., car accident). We performed two sets of analyses—one that examined correlates of ratings of sexual violence victims and one that compared ratings of sexual violence vignettes to ratings of other traumas. For the first set of analyses, we hypothesized that women (vs. men) and individuals with (vs. without) a sexual violence history would rate sexual violence survivors as more likable. Most effects related to gender and sexual violence history were nonsignificant. In the second set of analyses, victims of sexual violence were perceived as less likable than victims of other traumas regardless of rater gender or sexual violence history, although this effect was slightly less pronounced for younger individuals and those with a history of sexual violence. Across two studies, the most consistent findings were that gender did not predict perceptions of likability and that victims of sexual violence were perceived as less likable than victims of other traumas.
Towards a neuroethological approach to consciousness
Authors: Cabral-Calderin Yuranny , Hechavarria Julio , Melloni Lucia
Published: January 2025

Understanding consciousness remains a significant challenge in science. While much progresshas been made in explaining the origins of the universe and the mechanisms underlying life,the question of how subjective experience arises from physical systems remains unresolved.What distinguishes conscious beings from unconscious systems, such as organoids, artificialintelligence, or other non-sentient entities?Research on consciousness often focuses on identifying brain activity associated with consciousand non-conscious states, primarily in neurotypical adults. However, this approach is limited inscope when applied to entities with developmental or evolutionary trajectories different fromour own. How do we investigate consciousness in infants, whose brains are still maturing, or innon-human animals, shaped by diverse ecological and evolutionary pressures?This review advocates for a neuroethological perspective, drawing on Tinbergen’s frameworkfor studying behavior. By examining the mechanisms, development, adaptive value, andevolutionary origins of consciousness, we can move beyond a human-centric focus to exploreits diversity across life forms. Consciousness may not be a uniquely human phenomenon butrather a continuum shaped by evolutionary pressures. By adopting this broader approach, wemay better understand consciousness in its various forms and contexts, with significantscientific, ethical, and societal implications.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of drama techniques in improving the speaking skills of Saudi EFL students in terms of accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. Therefore, the significance of the study is in its contributions to the field of second language teaching in Saudi Arabia, as well as in its potential to provide information to stakeholders such as researchers and English language teachers to explore to what extent drama techniques can have an impact on improving EFL students’ speaking skills. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with one class and two groups randomly divided equally. The research population consisted of first-year Saudi English majors, specifically all 60 female students enrolled in the speaking and listening course. One class was chosen as the experimental group (30 students) and another as the control group (30 students). The study was conducted over four weeks in the second semester of 2024. A speaking test was utilized as a research instrument. The data analysis results revealed an apparent weakness in the students’ speaking accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency in both groups during the pre-test. However, the post-test revealed significant differences in the students’ speaking accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency in both groups, indicating that drama techniques had a significant impact on students’ speaking skills. The primary recommendation was to raise teachers’ awareness of the drama techniques and activities to employ in speaking classes

Published: January 2025

Watching English videos is a powerful and popular tool for learning English as a foreign language, and teachers and researchers should pay close attention to it. The research paper investigates current EFL learners’ attitudes towards using subtitles when watching English audio-visual materials. The authors attempt to answer the following question: What are Ukrainian EFL learners’ perceptions of using subtitles to improve their listening skills? The significance of this study is that understanding the learners’ preferences and support for subtitles would help find effective teaching practices. We used a quantitative method to collect research data through online tools (Google Forms). The third-year students training in the BA program to become interpreters were under research. The findings suggest that students agreed on the importance of listening skills. Moreover, almost all participants are convinced that watching audio-visual materials with English subtitles improves their English proficiency. An area worth further investigation is the effect of subtitles on listening and reading skills, which is necessary as it would shed more light on using videos with and without subtitles in EFL acquisition.

Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi wajib pajak orang pribadi dalam memenuhi kewajiban membayar pajak di Kantor Pelayanan, Penyuluhan, dan Konsultasi Pajak (KP2KP) Saumlaki. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada beberapa faktor-faktor penting penting seperti pengetahuan perpajakan, kualitas layanan, kepercayaan terhadap pemerintah, serta kesadaran wajib pajak. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan dengan teknik pengunpulan data melalui kuisioner yang dibagikan kepada wajib pajak orang pribadi dan wawancara dengan pihak kp2kp saumlaki, Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sebagian besar wajib pajak orang pribadi memahami konsep pajak, masih ada yang belum paham dan tidak mengetahui prosedur pembayaran karena kurangnya sosialisasi. Sikap terhadap pajak bervariasi, di mana sebagian besar setuju pajak untuk pembangunan dan merasa sistem pajak adil, meskipun ada yang merasa terbebani dan tidak setuju. Pelayanan di KP2KP dinilai baik, tetapi masih ada yang merasa kesulitan mendapatkan informasi. Sanksi dan denda mempengaruhi sebagian besar wajib pajak, namun ada juga yang tidak terpengaruh. Faktor ekonomi dan opini masyarakat memengaruhi kepatuhan, dengan kepatuhan secara keseluruhan masih kurang baik, meskipun sebagian besar sadar akan kewajiban membayar pajak tepat waktu. hasil ini dapat dilihat dari Jumlah wajib pajak di Kepulauan Tanimbar setiap tahun, namun realisasi pembayaran pajak mengalami fluktuas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya pemahaman wajib pajak tentang prosedur pembayaran dan pelaporan, minimnya sosialisasi, serta kendala ekonomi dan ketidakpatuhan hukum. Pelaksana pajak menghadapi tantangan seperti lokasi wajib pajak yang terpencil, alamat yang tidak lengkap, dan keterbatasan jaringan komunikasi. Sistem perpajakan menerapkan “self-assessment” dengan pembayaran secara online atau melalui bank/pos, dan pelayanan tersedia baik secara tatap muka maupun daring, jadi dari 6 faktor yang diteliti hanya 3 faktor yang tidak berpengaruh yaitu Pelayanan Pajak di KP2KP Saumlaki, sikap terhadap pajak, faktor ekonomi dan sosial dan yang terpengaruh yaitu pengetahuan terhadap perpajakan, kepatuhan membayar pajak, sanksi dan denda.

Materials and Methods: An analytical observational study with a prospective cross-sectional design was conducted on patients diagnosed with CAP at JMCTH from October 2023 to Sep 2024. Patient’s data were extracted from medical records. The correlation between the platelet count and CAP severity was analyzed.
Results: A total of 102 cases were collected. Number of patients diagnosed with CAP was found to be 100%. Males 59 (57.8%) were more affected compared to females 43 (42.1%). Patient ages ranged from 16 to 75 years old. Mild thrombocytopenia was 9(8.8%), moderate thrombocytopenia 49(48%), severe thrombocytopenia 44(43%) was observed. Patients with >65 years had highest prevalence of thrombocytopenia 25(24.5%)). Similarly in terms of leukocytosis, it was found to be mild 43(42%), moderate 50(49%), severe 9(8.8%) respectively. Regarding severe thrombocytopenia 2(66.67%) participants were expired and in severe leukocytosis 2(66.67%) were expired which was statistically significant p value is <0.001. Also, CURB-65 score having >3, indicates the higher mortality rate which is statistically significant, p value < 0.001. Hospital stay was more than 14 days were 9(8.8%), where 2(66.67%) expired which was also statistically significant and p value < 0.001.
Conclusion: The significance of thrombocytopenia and other clinical indicators as they relate to the prognosis of CAP, and paves the way for novel interventions and individualized therapies.

A self -administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data by using total enumerative method. All together 210 students are taking part and entire students fill the form.   Descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square test) was used.
Results: The study revealed that 52.86%of the respondents had good level of knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene. It also showed that 53.33% had favorable attitude regarding menstrual hygiene. Similarly, 54.77% of the respondents had good practice regarding menstrual hygiene. Family income p=0.001), grade (p=0.03), age (p=0.007), mother education status (p= 0.003), family occupation (p=0.001), family income (p=0.012) was statistically significant with level of knowledge, and attitude regarding menstrual hygiene. There was statistically significant between level of practice regarding menstrual hygiene and grade (p=0.002) and family income (p=0.004). There was also statistically significant association between respondent knowledge and practice p=0.045 and also statistically significant association between respondent knowledge and attitude p=0.0002.
Conclusion: Significant portion of students demonstrated a good understanding of menstrual hygiene, some still lack sufficient knowledge, although their practice is not poor.

Background & Objectives: Nearly one third of the global population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis and at risk of developing the disease. More than eight million people develop active tuberculosis every year and about two million dies. Thus, this study was evaluated to study of the sensitivity and specificity of IgM antibody by ICT (Immuno-chromatographic test) method in diagnosing tuberculosis.
Materials and Methods: This study comprised of 100 subjects, of which 25 were sputum positive tuberculosis, 25 were sputum negative tuberculosis diagnosed on the basis of clinical and radiological backgrounds, and 50 subjects were taken as control of which 25 were chest infections other than tuberculosis and the rest of 25 were clinically normal subjects.
Results: The sensitivity and specificity of IgM antibody was found to be 32% and 94% in the AFB positive group, where as in the AFB negative group it came out to be 24% and 94%, overall, on combining both the group the sensitivity and specificity of IgM antibody came out to be 28% and 94%.
Conclusion: Serum IgM antibody test has a low sensibility in diagnosing tuberculosis, but it can be helpful in excluding tuberculosis in individuals suspected to have tuberculosis.

Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION Maxillofascial space infections are commonly encountered conditions and its prevalence is more in South Asia compared to other regions due to lack of awareness in seeking dental treatment. Carious teeth, contiguous non-vital teeth, postoperative infections, periodontal disease and pericoronal infections are major sources of odontogenic infections. These infections can easily spreads into facial spaces which may lead into life threatening conditions. Facial space infections with comorbid conditions of patients always increases extent of severity.  Among the various systemic comorbidities, diabetes is commonly associated with space infections, which determines over all prognosis and treatment. The present study aims to ﬁnd out the prevalence of diabetes, demographic value, the odontogenic spaces involved, educational value in relation, and the inﬂuence of systemic comorbidity over the treatment.
MATERIAL AND METHODS This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Universal College of Medical Sciences (UCMS), Bhairahawa from November 2023 to October 2024. All the patients were enrolled in this study after proper counselling and informed written consent. Diabetic and  non-diabetic patients were considered as group A and group B respectively. Demographic data and prevalence of maxillofascial infection, role of education, facial spaces involved were the variables of this study.
RESULTS The total number of cases during the study period were 3441. Out of which 56 were diagnosed with maxillofacial space infections and only 40 met the inclusion criteria of the study. The prevalence during this period was (16.27 per thousand). The study comprised 40 patients with maxillofascial space infections, divided into two groups based on their medical history and lab investigations. Out of which, 25 patients were diabetic (Group A) and 15 were non-diabetic (Group B).
CONCLUSION This study found a higher prevalence of maxillofascial space infections in diabetic patients, with female predilection. The mean age group affected was 49.88 years and submandibular space infections was the most common among all.
