This study analyzes the differences between the neoliberal and social democratic paradigms in poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia, by adding an Islamic Economic perspective as an alternative. The neoliberal paradigm focuses on free market mechanisms, deregulation, and minimizing the role of the state, but often exacerbates social inequality. In contrast, the social democratic paradigm balances the role of the market and state intervention through resource redistribution and protection of vulnerable groups through sustainable social programs. Islamic economics offers a complementary approach oriented towards the principles of distributive justice, balance, and solidarity, by integrating spiritual values ​​into socio-economic policies. A qualitative approach is used in this study, with policy analysis of programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and the National Health Insurance (JKN). The results show that the social democratic paradigm is more effective in reducing poverty systemically than neoliberalism, especially through increasing access to education, health, and social protection. However, budget constraints, corruption, and infrastructure gaps remain significant challenges. The Islamic Economic perspective emphasizes the importance of zakat, waqf, and infaq as instruments of wealth redistribution that have the potential to strengthen inclusive and sustainable poverty alleviation policies. This study recommends strengthening the synergy between the paradigm of social democracy and the values ​​of Islamic Economics to create policies that are more effective, equitable, and oriented towards the welfare of society holistically.  

This article explores the phenomenon of interfaith marriages in Indonesia from the perspectives of philosophy, religion and law, with the aim of providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics that occur. In the context of a religiously diverse society, interfaith marriage is often a topic of public discussion. Modernization, globalization and increased awareness of human rights have encouraged the younger generation to be more open to interfaith marriages, even though they still face legal challenges and social stigma. Qualitative research methods were used to explore the experiences and views of interfaith couples through in-depth interviews, participant observation and official documentation. The research results show that interfaith couples must navigate various challenges from family, society, and legal aspects, but can maintain harmonious relationships through open dialogue and mutual respect for each other's beliefs. The respondents in this study were three couples in interfaith marriages who provided a real picture of the dynamics of interfaith marriages in Indonesia. These findings emphasize the importance of revising the law to better accommodate religious diversity and support harmonious relations amidst differences.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a social assistance program aimed at improving the quality of life of underprivileged families through access to education, healthcare, and economic welfare. This article explores the implementation of Islamic character education within PKH, focusing on rural communities in Dawuhan Village.

However, challenges such as low community participation, limited infrastructure, and cultural differences remain significant barriers. Recommendations from this study include enhancing the capacity of PKH facilitators, integrating Islamic values into educational modules, and fostering collaboration with religious institutions and local governments to ensure program sustainability. Islamic character education in PKH is expected to become a strategic solution for fostering sustainable social and economic transformation in rural communities

The The aim of this study is to examine the migration pattern of the Minahasa people to the Netherlands over three generations, focusing on the economic aspect that became one of the main drivers of migration. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis that combines historical data, interviews and literature studies related to the migration phenomenon that occurred from the early 20th century to the present. The three generations of Minahasa migration to the Netherlands include: (1) the first generation that left during the colonial period, generally driven by employment factors and the role of the Netherlands as a colonial state, (2) the second generation that began to migrate in post-independence Indonesia, where economic and educational factors were the main considerations, and (3) the third generation that migrated with more diverse motivations, including the search for better economic opportunities and family reasons. The research found that economic migration was a very important factor in each generational phase, although personal motivations and socio-political developments in Indonesia and the Netherlands also played an important role. The impact of this migration is not only visible at the individual level, but also affects social and economic changes in both countries, both in terms of the integration of the Minahasa community in the Netherlands and their contribution to the economic development of the Netherlands. In addition, this study also highlights the differences in migration characteristics from generation to generation.The reasons for the Minahasa migrated to the Netherlands from the first generation to the present are as follows: (1) KNIL were soldiers of the Dutch East Indies Kingdom, some former KNIL soldiers from Minahasa chose to fly and migrate to the Netherlands. The interaction of culture, religion and language that lasted for a long time eventually gave birth to emotional closeness between immigrants, in this case the Dutch and the Minahasa. (2) The Netherlands and the Minahasa are closely related because Minahasa is the 12th province of the Netherlands. This made people loyal to Twapro choose to migrate to the Netherlands. (3) On Santa Claus (a celebration of Christmas welcoming day, which is celebrated by the Dutch and Minahasa residents), on December 5, 1957, the Indonesian government carried out a massive nationalization of assets belonging to the Netherlands, the embassy and consulate (Netherlands) was closed, and evacuation plans were prepared everywhere (massive expulsion of Dutch citizens out of Indonesia). At that time, not only Dutch citizens were forcibly evicted, but also many Minahasa people who migrated to the Netherlands on their own wishes and choices by boarding Dutch ships together to the Netherlands. (4) A movement involving Minahasa people occurred in 1958 which was Permesta. For a just and prosperous economy as well for a life that is safe, comfortable and peaceful. (5) The creation of the Jakarta Charter, which was signed on June 22, 1945. At this time, gradually, the Minahasa people migrated to the Netherlands because they were worried about their religion as a minority in their country. (6) Many Minahasa people have been displaced, as a result of the "prejudice" of some Indonesians towards them. In the post-Independence period of the Republic of Indonesia, there were prejudices against Christians. This prejudice was based on the a priori attitude of other groups who accused them of being Dutch 'sympathizers'. Because their religion is Christianity who came from the Netherlands and were educated by evangelists from the Netherlands. (7) Assimilate in the context of marriage. (8) The similarity of customs, customs, traditions, culture and beliefs between the Dutch and the Minahasa. There is a bright future in the exchange of personal stories between Minahasa people, migrated Minahasa and native Dutch who will understand each other much better. It is also hoped that the sciences in the fields of architecture, water management or agriculture, plantations and others will enable the Minahasa diaspora in the Netherlands to use them to develop and advance their Minahasa homeland, through hard skills and soft skills. There are many potentials and opportunities to tie and strengthen relations between the two countries.

Batak Toba is a tribe with strong customs in Indonesia. One of the applicable values ​​and norms is regarding the process of dividing inheritance among descendants. The existence of male descendants in Toba Batak society is very important to continue the clan. However, not all family members have male offspring. So, the tradition of buying clan (manuhor clan) emerged to overcome this. This phenomenon gives rise to differences in the distribution of inheritance for biological male descendants and male descendants of the clan. This writing provides an understanding of the legal review of the process of dividing customary inheritance for biological male descendants and sons belonging to the clan in Batak Toba. This problem will be studied using normative methods with the perspective of Toba Batak traditional inheritance law through legal studies, journals and research that has been carried out by previous researchers. This writing discusses the implementation of inheritance distribution between biological sons and sons who bear the clan in Batak Toba based on previous research analysis and community customs. The originality of this research explains the role of customary inheritance law that applies in the Toba Batak community in the process of dividing inheritance between biological sons and sons of the clan by showing the similarities and differences that occur.    

No individual chooses to be born into a specific family or under certain conditions. Differences in socioeconomic conditions will always exist in society, leading to the formation of various groups at any time and place. When a teenager is born into a family with a different socioeconomic background, it can cause pressure due to feelings of inferiority, embarrassment, and even jealousy, as socioeconomic status impacts their life and education. Every child has the right to education. The cost of education is a challenge for those in vulnerable socioeconomic conditions. The issues they face are not just economic but also social in nature. Fostering Christ-like character should be a focus in Christian education, especially for adolescents. Adolescence is a vulnerable and complex stage with issues and conflicts related to self-image, values, ethics, and morality. Teenagers need proper guidance and teaching to grow into strong individuals with a Christ-like character and resilience in their lives. Economic issues are indeed related to education. However, there remains an open path to educate adolescents according to their needs. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

Adultery, which in Islam is defined as sexual intercourse outside of a legal marriage, is one of the major sins. Islamic law strictly prohibits and imposes severe sanctions on perpetrators of adultery, both men and women. In the Qur'an, adultery is referred to as an act that damages morals and social order. Sanctions for perpetrators of adultery in Islamic law are included in the category of hudud punishments, which have fixed provisions from Allah and are strictly regulated in the Shari'a. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Islamic law imposes sanctions on adultery and the role of these punishments in maintaining the morality of society, to examine how the Criminal Code in Indonesia regulates adultery, and to consider the differences in sanctions applied in positive law, to compare the perspectives of Islamic law and the Criminal Code in dealing with cases of adultery, both in terms of legal substance and enforcement in Indonesia, to identify the relevance of each legal system in dealing with adultery in the modern era, considering the differences in culture and views of society. In Islamic law, adultery has very severe sanctions. If the perpetrator of adultery is a married person, the punishment is stoning or stoning to death, while for those who are not married, the punishment is 100 lashes. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a normative juridical method to analyze the comparison between Islamic law and the Criminal Code in regulating adultery. The results of this study indicate that Islamic law emphasizes the importance of testimony and strong evidence in the process of enforcing the punishment for adultery, namely that there must be four witnesses who directly witnessed the act. Meanwhile, in the Criminal Code, adultery is not given the same severe sanctions as in Islamic law. The Criminal Code only provides imprisonment for adultery perpetrators who are proven guilty, especially if the act involves married parties. Article 284 of the Criminal Code regulates a maximum prison sentence of nine months for those who commit adultery. Unlike Islamic law, the Criminal Code focuses more on maintaining public order and family honor than on individual morality according to religion.

Also, the results of the ANOVA test results obtained the results of all variables of the factors that influencing poverty in districts/municipalities in East Java Province significantly on poverty.

This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis between national law and Islamic law, focusing on the principles, implementation, as well as the differences and similarities between the two in social, political, and cultural contexts. National law in Indonesia is a combination of customary law, colonial law, and modern law derived from Western legal systems, while Islamic law originates from Sharia, based on the Qur'an and Hadith. In certain areas, such as family law, civil law, and criminal law, these two legal systems exhibit distinct approaches, both philosophically and technically. The study finds that while national law emphasizes secularism and state sovereignty, Islamic law places greater emphasis on moral and divine justice. However, in the Indonesian context, both legal systems sometimes operate in parallel or undergo processes of adaptation and accommodation. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the interaction between national law and Islamic law, as well as how both influence the judiciary and society in general.

This study aims to compare Indonesian and Malay in terms of phonology, with the cartoon series “Omar and Hana” as the research subject. Judging from the existing reality, Indonesian and Malay are two cognate languages that have many similarities, both in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, Indonesian and Malay also have differences, especially in terms of phonology. Therefore, this research tries to dig deeper into the comparison of phonology between Indonesian and Malay. The method used is descriptive qualitative with free listening and spoken involvement techniques and using writing techniques in data collection. The researcher found phonetic elements in Malay that aired on one of the themes in episode one, namely family themes. It was found that these two languages have almost similar functions of duration, stress, tone and stop in the pronunciation of vocabulary. However, there are differences, such as the sengau sound which is more distinctive in Malay. In addition, there is a change of vowel 'a' to 'ə' in some existing words that have the same meaning and arrangement pattern. This results in the existence of vocabulary whose sentences are different but the meaning is the same between Indonesian and the discovery of similar words but different meanings.

This meta-analysis examined the relationship between social support and medication adherence among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients through a synthesis of 47 studies (N=12,356). The findings confirmed a significant positive correlation (r=0.42, p<0.001, 95% CI [0.38, 0.46]) with substantial heterogeneity (I²=84.0%). Contrary to Cohen et al.'s (2019) finding that informational support was the strongest predictor, our moderator analyses revealed emotional support as the most robust predictor (β=0.39, p<0.001). Furthermore, this research demonstrated that the effects of social support on MS medication adherence were stronger among women (β=0.18, p=0.023) and patients with longer disease duration (β=0.24, p=0.009), extending Franqueiro et al.'s (2023) findings regarding gender differences in social support effectiveness. Family support showed the largest effect (r=0.48, p<0.001), followed by friends (r=0.40, p<0.001) and healthcare providers (r=0.35, p<0.001). Moreover, mediation modeling revealed a significant role of self-efficacy (indirect effect=0.21, 95% CI [0.17, 0.25]), expanding upon Bandura's (2018) model. Supporting Lavorgna et al.'s (2018) findings, our results confirmed that online social support proved equally effective as offline support (Q=1.87, p=0.171). These findings demonstrated robustness through sensitivity analyses and trim-and-fill procedures, confirming resilience against publication bias (adjusted r=0.39, 95% CI [0.35, 0.43]). The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive identification of key moderators and underlying mechanisms in the social support-medication adherence relationship and the first empirical testing of an integrated mediation model incorporating social support, self-efficacy, and medication adherence in the MS context.

Marriage is a sacred goal in establishing a happy home that is eternal and based on the Almighty Godhead. The sacred bond of marriage is part of God's command, in order to fulfill basic, private needs. In fact, marriage is lived with full happiness, mutual love and meaning of life between husband and wife who were previously not the same, both in educational, family and cultural backgrounds. An ideal marriage is where a husband and wife unite their differences in unity of strength to form a happy household. In reality, not all married couples are able to realize happiness together in arranging their family's future life. Disagreements between husband and wife are triggered by differences in understanding in creating domestic happiness. Differences that were originally normal often lead to domestic violence. Married couples who are unable to control their emotions sometimes commit violence, whether by the wife or the husband, but in general domestic violence is carried out by the husband against his wife. This research tries to provide an overview of the triggers for domestic violence and solutions to overcome it.

This study aims to understand the process of social ethics formation among children in Talian Kereng Village in response to the influence of modernization and technological advancements. The research was conducted through a Community Service Program (KKN) that involved in-depth interviews and direct observations of the social lives of children in the village. The findings reveal that the role of family, community leaders, and religious institutions is crucial in instilling social ethical values in children from an early age. In this village, community leaders and religious figures are still highly respected and seen as role models in preserving traditional values. However, significant challenges arise from technological advancements, particularly the use of social media, which influences the perspectives and behavior of children. Many children are becoming influenced by social media content that does not always align with local norms. Additionally, the lack of parental involvement in upbringing, either due to their busy schedules or limited knowledge of parenting in the digital era, exacerbates this situation. Economic disparities also contribute to differences in children's access to technology, ultimately affecting the extent of their exposure to these influences. This study recommends a comprehensive approach that combines formal education, family roles, and community control over the impact of technology. Furthermore, the reinforcement of religious values and local traditions must be strengthened to address the challenges of modernization. In this way, positive social ethics can continue to be preserved and instilled in the younger generation of Talian Kereng Village

Inheritance law is a law that regulates the transfer of assets left by a deceased person and its consequences for his heirs. Inheritance law is one element of customary law in Indonesia. The patrilineal principle, in which inheritance prioritizes the male lineage, is upheld in Batak inheritance law. According to Batak customary law, men and women are treated differently. The type of research is normative juridical. The data source is a secondary data source. The nature of the research is descriptive analytical. Data collection techniques are literature studies and document studies. Data analysis uses a qualitative approach method. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the Batak customary law system as a source of inheritance law in Indonesia, and to determine the implementation of Batak customary law on inheritance law in Indonesia. The inheritance system in Batak society adheres to the Patrilineal Principle. In this principle, the position and influence of men in Batak customary inheritance law are very strong. According to civil law, inheritance is defined as a set of legal provisions that regulate the general legal consequences in the field of property law arising from a person's death. Based on this theory, it can be concluded that the position of Batak boys and girls in the inheritance distribution system and the application of customary law in the distribution of inheritance for boys and girls is in harmony. The Batak Toba customary inheritance law is the basis for the distribution of inheritance in its unique society. Its teachings that include inheritance flowing through the male line are cassation and dakdanak. According to the Batak Toba inheritance law, this uniqueness gives the status of first heir to the eldest son of the family, thus giving him his own identity. The customary inheritance law system in Indonesia generally tends to follow positive legal norms, although the principle of dakdanak emphasizes more on justice in the distribution of inheritance. However, when the legislation on Batak Toba customary inheritance is included in the framework of affirmative legislation, the situation becomes complicated. The principles of positive law that respect women's inheritance rights, especially those related to inheritance of movable property, conflict with the Batak Toba customary law system which automatically inherits property to sons from the paternal line. Positive law attempts to take this understanding into account, but there are still potential problems due to the fundamental differences between the two legal systems that must be resolved.

Background: The role of the family is very important to avoid recurrence. There is an influence of the rebuke technique on the patient's ability to control hallucinations. The family's role is to remind or even teach the patient rebuking techniques at home, so it is necessary to implement family intervention with rebuking techniques to try to control the patient's ability to hallucinate. Objective: This study aims to determine the differences in the level of family role in supervising patients with hallucinations versus efforts to control hallucinations using rebuke techniques. Method: Quasi-experimental research design using pre-posttest without control group. The sample was 88 people, namely the patient's family who took the control patient to the outpatient clinic. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The data collection instrument used the dependent t test. Results: The results of the study p value = <0.001 (<0.05) which means There is a significant difference between the level of family role before and after the intervention with the rebuke techniques taught to the patient's family. Meanwhile, p value = <0.001 which this means that there is a significant difference between the patient's ability to control hallucinations before and after intervention with the rebuke techniques taught by the patient's family. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the level of family role in supervising patients with hallucinations versus efforts to control hallucinations using rebuke techniques.

Learning achievement is every learning activity carried out by students which will result in a change in themselves. The learning outcomes obtained by students are measured based on differences in behavior before and after learning is carried out. The economic conditions of students' families at SMP Negeri 2 Binjai have a significant influence on student learning achievement. Many students who come from families with economically disadvantaged backgrounds face various challenges that hinder the learning process. Financial limitations often mean they do not have adequate access to educational resources, such as books, the internet, and additional tutoring which can help improve understanding of subject matter. This research uses the Apriori method as a problem solving method, namely to correlate between Family Socio-Economics, Activities Students Outside the School Environment and Level of Student Learning Motivation with Student Achievement in class. If data A, G, K → O with Support 30% and Confident 100% and S*C value 30%. So, if a student from a family with an income of less than Rp. 1,000,000 who take part in extracurricular activities outside of school, and have family-driven motivation, will have academic achievement with good report cards. This research indicates that family socio-economic conditions have a significant impact on student academic achievement. Through data analysis, it can be seen that factors such as family income, student activities outside the school environment and the level of student motivation to learn can influence the extent to which students can achieve higher academic achievement.

All children are born in different environments and home environments. But one thing is certain: children need love and guidance to help them thrive in every aspect of their lives. Currently, there are many differences in children's family backgrounds that influence their socialization behavior. The reason behind this is because there are harmonious families, there are also broken homes. In the family, parents in particular play an important role in the development of a child's personality, especially in the child's daily behavior. The aim of this research is to describe children's social behavior when viewed from differences in family background. The research method used in this article is qualitative research, namely descriptive research in the form of describing/exposing the behavioral symptoms of people being observed. Researchers are the main instrument of research carried out at MI Al Awal Palembang for comprehensive data collection. This panel research was carried out in class IV at MI Al Awwal Palembang. The research results show that there are many differences in the social behavior of each child when viewed from family background. We identified two different family backgrounds, namely a harmonious family and a broken home family. So the solution that can be implemented in developing the character and social behavior of children who come from broken homes is that teachers must guide and educate children so that they can change their character from bad habits to good ones, they must try to understand children's feelings and provide advice and considerations as best as possible. Teachers must also try to bring children closer to their friends. The role of peers is no less important, because one of their roles is to provide a source of information and comparison about the world outside the family environment

Data were collected using a qualitative method with purposive sampling techniques, involving observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was performed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that behavioral changes in former alcohol users are closely related to internal and external factors, such as self-awareness and family responses. These changes positively impact social interactions, as evidenced by improved communication quality and more harmonious relationships with family and acquaintances. The findings highlight the importance of motivating factors and social support in the recovery process of adolescents from alcohol consumption.

The family serves as the initial gateway for young children to gain various valuable experiences, particularly in understanding character. Cultivating characters that reflect the values of the Indonesian nation is crucial for supporting the government's efforts to produce a golden generation by 2045. This research aims to determine parents' understanding of the family's role in children's character education. The research design is a case study, which explores various information related to parents' understanding in one of the schools in the Bandung area. The research sample consisted of three parents with children aged 3-6 years. The results indicate differences in parents' understanding of their role in early childhood character education. These differences encompass teaching roles, as some parents are not yet aware of effective teaching methods for young children, as well as roles in modeling, motivation, habituation, and rule enforcement. Parents need to learn more about the appropriate role of the family in early childhood character education. By enhancing parents' understanding of character education, there will be a positive impact on the creation of an advanced civilization with a strong national character.
