Moderasi Beragama dan Akulturasi Agama Budaya: Sebuah Dinamika Hidup Beragama di Tana Toraja
Authors: Darius Gayus , Safril Safril
Published: January 2025

Konflik yang dipicu oleh latar belakang keagamaan atau yang mengatasnamakan agama memang membawa ancaman yang cukup besar apalagi dalam masyarakat yang sangat majemuk. Majemuk dalam budaya, suku, ras maupun agama. Oleh karena itu pemerintah mencetuskan model beragama yang disebut moderasi beragama. Namun demikian moderasi beragama mendapatkan kritikan, karena hanya menjadikan agama sebagai satu-satunya sumber nilai moral. Di dalam masyarakat Toraja, telah ada cara beragama yang mampu menjembatani keharmonisan antar umat beragama yakni akulturasi agama budaya. Pendekatan akulturasi agama-budaya lebih dominan dalam mencari nilai-nilai universal tanpa menggunakan agama sebagai satu-satunya sumber nilai moral. Pendekatan sosio-kultural menciptakan nilai-nilai yang universal yang dapat diterima baik di kalangan umat Kristen maupun umat Islam. Dalam hal ini dapat dilihat bahwa agama tidak bersifat bertentangan dengan budaya; sebaliknya, keduanya bisa saling berinteraksi dan membentuk dialog dalam mewujudkan harmonisasi hidup beragama.

Over the past decade, collaboration between academia and industry has increasingly been recognized not only as a means to align higher education curricula with the practical demands of the job market, but also as a powerful driver of innovation through knowledge exchange. In this context, as part of the implementation of BIOTE(A)CH, a two-year collaborative project involving five Universities from different European countries, a biotechnology company, and an EdTech enterprise, aiming to bridge the gap between the biotechnology industry and academia, an innovative curriculum model based on design thinking and flipped classroom approaches, was designed. Workshops with participants from the industry were held across the five partner countries to identify challenges and discuss biotechnology education. These workshops allowed educators and instructional designers to collaboratively create course materials, including videos, animations and the Lecturer’s Guide, to support interactive learning. The curriculum’s effectiveness was tested in a pilot phase, involving 25 students of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. Feedback from both students and instructors indicated that BIOTEACH curriculum improved student engagement and skill acquisition allowing them to better connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications in biotechnology.

Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Martínez Tapia Miguel , Álvarez Arteaga Gustavo
Published: January 2025

El objetivo del presente trabajo es formular un modelo espacial para el análisis del servicio
ecosistémico de infiltración en áreas verdes urbanas, en particular para el Parque Estatal
Alameda Poniente San José de la Pila, ubicado en la ciudad de Toluca, México. La
metodología estuvo basada en el análisis de la transformación urbana y cambio de uso de
suelo, la recopilación de datos del entorno, así como el uso de SIG para el análisis espacial
del servicio ecosistémico de infiltración. Resultados: se identificó que, a pesar del cambio de
uso del suelo del área decretada en superficie en comodato, se incrementó la infiltración en
el área verde, aportando a la recarga de agua al acuífero del valle de Toluca. La replicabilidad
de este modelo en otros casos de estudios es susceptible siempre y cuando se ajuste a la
información actual del uso del suelo y vegetación. Conclusiones: La formulación del modelo
espacial para el análisis del servicio ecosistémico de infiltración en áreas verdes urbanas,
permitió evaluar la infiltración anual mediante el cambio de uso de suelo que ha tenido el
área decretada del parque. Este enfoque ha permitido comprender el beneficio que
proporciona a la sociedad el servicio ecosistémico de infiltración a la Ciudad de Toluca.

Published: January 2025

Effective disaster management in Malaysia, particularly in the face of frequent natural disasters such as floods and landslides, requires robust coordination between civil agencies and military personnel. This study explores the critical components of civil-military collaboration, with a specific focus on joint training and simulation exercises. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with key personnel from disaster response agencies and analyzed alongside case studies, such as the Shah Alam flood incident of 2021. The findings highlight significant gaps in current training programs, particularly in integrating civil and military efforts and in addressing the unpredictable nature of disasters. The study underscores the importance of advanced simulation tools, such as virtual and augmented reality, in enhancing preparedness. Additionally, the research reveals communication challenges, such as the underutilization of the Government Integrated Radio Network (GIRN), and emphasizes the need for standardized communication protocols across agencies. While existing frameworks provide a solid foundation, the study identifies areas for improvement, including the need for more comprehensive multi-agency simulations and specialized leadership training. The study's conclusions offer valuable insights for policymakers and disaster management professionals, advocating for a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration to build a more resilient disaster management framework in Malaysia.
