“…The analysis process conceptualized above resulted in two previous publications (Yulianto, Hodgetts, King, & Liu, n.d.‐a, n.d.‐b), focused on how participants adapt to their new lives together materially and psychologically, and navigate cultural, gendered, and classed tensions. As we completed these articles we became increasingly interested in issues of cultural hybridity in the conduct of these marriages.…”

Inter-ethnic married couples develop their intimate lives together within the context of their broader cultural communities. Drawing from 10-weeks of fieldwork with ten Javanese and Chinese Indonesian couples (65 interviews, over 500 pages of transcript, 70 pages of field notes, and over 360 photographs), we approach such marriages as dynamic sites of cultural hybridity and the re-assemblage of key elements from the participants' ethno-cultural assemblages of origin. We document how mundane social practices, such as practicing respect for elders, observing religious practices, combining familial work traditions and fusion cooking are instrumental elements in establishing culturally-hybrid ways of conducting more harmonious lives together. The conceptual framework developed for this article from the assemblage and social practice theories offers a novel approach to exploring everyday cultural hybridity in the conduct nature of inter-ethnic marriages.

“…Syamsul Taurus (SYT), Several religious fields need serious attention from all levels of the Ministry of Religion, including the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). In the field of marriage, the divorce rate is increasingly high, based on the estimates of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for 2022 (Yulianto et al, 2022). The number of divorce cases in Indonesia in 2020 reached 291,677 cases, and in 2021 there was an increase of 447,743 cases, so that the increase was 53.50%.…”

This study aims to determine the pattern of communication carried out by the Bangko District Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in reducing the divorce rate in Bangko District, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. The research method employed is qualitative, with a case study approach. The results of this study show that the pattern of communication carried out by the Bangko District Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in reducing the divorce rate in Bangko District uses the Lasweell model communication pattern and the stimulus-response (S-R) communication pattern. Where the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) of Bangko Subdistrict is carrying out its activities, it always conducts communication analysis, which includes elements of effective communication and which, in the end, shows whether the response obtained from the stimulus results goes according to purpose or not. Based on the researcher's analysis, it was concluded that the pattern of communication that was carried out had not had a significant impact, meaning that it still increased the divorce rate in Bangko District. However, the pattern of communication that is carried out makes a good contribution to the husband and wife who are going to divorce in the form of consideration in making the decision to divorce.

BackgroundThe frequency of the beta-thalassemia (β-thalassemia) gene in Indonesia ranges from 3 to 10%. However, in the East Java province, there is still limited information on the prevalence of β-thalassemia mutations in clinically diagnosed beta-thalassemia patients of East Java. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize β-thalassemia mutations in selected patients in the East Java province of Indonesia.MethodsThis is an analytical observational study. Diagnosis of β-thalassemia was based on clinical presentation, complete blood count (CBC), and hemoglobin (Hb) electrophoresis. Blood specimens taken from each patient in three ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes were analyzed for CBC and Hb electrophoresis and processed for DNA extraction and subsequent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Detection of mutations in Hemoglobin Subunit Beta (HBB) gene exons 1–3 of the β-thalassemia gene as the common mutation in Indonesia was done using PCR followed by Sanger sequencing.ResultsIn total, 33 (n = 33) participants were involved in this study with ages ranging from 5 to 17 years comprising 19 women and 14 men. Their ethnic origins were Javanese (n = 30) and Chinese (n = 3). CBC results showed that mean ± standard deviation (SD) for Hb, red blood cell (RBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and red cell distribution width (RDW)-CV were 81.2 ± 7.0 g/L; 3.40 ± 0.39 × 109/L; 71.05 ± 5.72 fL; 24.12 ± 2.45 pg; 33.91 ± 1.47 g/dl; 24.38 ± 6.02%, respectively. Hb electrophoresis revealed that 5 out of 33 participants had beta-thalassemia and 28 out of 33 participants had hemoglobinopathy (Hb) E/beta-thalassemia. Results of Sanger sequencing showed the following genotype variations in the samples: 12 (36.4%) with βCD26/βIVS−I−5; 6 (18.2%) with βCD26/βCD35; 3 (9.1%) with βCD26/βIVS−I−2; 2 (6.1%) with βCD27/28/βCD40; 2 (6.1%) with βIVS−I−1/βCAP+1; and βCD26/βIVS−I−1; βIVS−I−5/βCAP+1; βIVS−I−5/βCD35; βCD26/βCD37; βCD26/βCD15; βCD26/βCD40; and βIVS−I−5/βCD19 in 1 (3%) sample, respectively, and 1 (3%) had no abnormality detected in sequencing even though electrophoresis showed abnormality in the migration pattern. The βCD26/βIVS−I−5 mutation was found in samples that were noted to have Hb E/beta-thalassemia on Hb electrophoresis.ConclusionThe underlying genetic variations are heterogeneous in thalassemia patients in East Java, where 12 variants were found. The most common variant was βCD26/βIVS−I−5, which all accounted for Hb E/beta-thalassemia on Hb electrophoresis. Furthermore, 28 out of 33 participants had hemoglobinopathy (Hb) E/beta-thalassemia.
