Timor-Leste’s interest in joining ASEAN : challenges and benefits
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Freitas, Manuel Jerónimo; Djayadi Hanan; Rifqi Muna
Since 2011, Timor-Leste has been persistently seeking ASEAN membership because of its aspirations for greater national identity within the region, political stability, and economic advantages. However, the country has yet to attain full membership despite ongoing efforts. This study looks at the reasons behind TimorLeste's bid, the difficulties it confronts, and how ASEAN members feel about its admission. The study is based on a constructivist paradigm, emphasizing how social interactions, ideas, and norms shape regional dynamics and integration processes. Using secondary data sources from government documents, media stories, and scholarly literature, this study uses qualitative approaches. Thematic analysis is employed to find trends regarding the reasons for, difficulties encountered, and advantages of Timor-Leste's ASEAN membership. Important conclusions include that Timor-Leste has several obstacles, even if the country is driven by the possibility of increased political stability, economic progress, and strengthening ofregional identity. These obstacles include the need for significant outside assistance,diplomatic initiatives, political instability, and problems with governance. The ASEAN norms significantly impact the integration process, particularly respect forsovereignty and non-interference.
The dynamic interrelationships of CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption on economic growth in G20 countries : a panel VAR approach
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Joko Susilo; Indra Gunawan; Aimatul Yumna
The interrelationship between CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth is comprehensive, especially for the G20 countries, which contribute to huge global C02 emissions and the world economy. On the other hand, we require a deeper comprehension to formulate policies that harmonize economic expansion with sustainable development. This study will analyze the dynamic interrelationship between CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption on economic growth in G20 countries. It employs the Panel Vector Autoregression (VAR) approach, covers a period from 1990 to 2022, and involves several fundamental stages. These include the unit roots test to see if the data is statistically sound, the cointegration test to see how the variables have changed over time, and the impulse response function test and variance decomposition to see how shocks to one variable affect other variables. The study's findings show a relationship among CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth. The data indicate that CO2 emissions have a favourable immediate impact in the short term, resulting in higher GDP and greater economic activity, than C0 emissions and GDP are negative in the long term. Furthermore, we confirm that the short-term relationship between renewable energy consumption and GDP is positive; in contrast, using renewable energy sources does not positively impact economic expansion in the long run. Therefore, G20 countries need to take action to formulate renewable energy policies for economic growth to achieve sustainable development and reduce CO2 emissions while promoting economic growth, whether short-term or long-term.
Port security and preman organizations in Indonesia
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-10-09) Yanwar Pribadi
Strongmen have long been widely associated with bandits, violent entrepreneurs or revolutionaries. Such strongmen should be differentiated from the strongmen of politics. The latter are defined as political leaders who rule by repression and exercise an authoritarian administration, while the former are defined as gangsters who benefit from local insecurities to obtain an occupation, build their reputation and accumulate social and political influence when they become involved in politics. In the case of Indonesia, there have already been several significant works on these stereotypically sturdy and muscular people, who have been represented as bandits (Suhartono Citation1995), village leaders (Onghokham Citation1978), rebels (Cribb Citation1991), local heroes, powerbrokers and criminals (Schulte Nordholt Citation1991). Preman, Indonesian contemporary free men (Dutch: vrije mannen), stand in between a blurred line of strongmen and violent groups. Preman (thug) was originally used to refer to irregular or demobilized soldiers; later, the term came to mean bandit and then gangster.
The future of artificial intelligence in/and of Islam : a view from muslim Southeast Asia
(Indiana University Press, 2024-10-09) Bhirawa Anoraga
The conference on “The Future of Artificial Intelligence in/and of Islam: A View from Muslim Southeast Asia” was held on July 2-4, 2024, at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII). The conference was initiated by the Faculty of Islamic Studies UIII in collaboration with Project 0100 led by Bart Barendregt (Leiden University, the Netherlands). The conference aims to “explore the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and Islam … [and] discuss the profound implications arising from the co-production of digital and religious futures.” Barendregt also asserted that Southeast Asia was selected as the conference’s focus since “Southeast Asia [does] not only [have] a significant Muslim population … it is also very much at the forefront of digital technologies interacting with them in everyday practices.” The conference covered three main programs: Keynote Speeches, Panel Sessions, and Masterclasses. This writing focuses on the discussions in the keynote speeches and exclusive panel sessions, with more detailed explanations dedicated to the keynote speeches. Masterclasses focused primarily on technical and practical engagement directly with the audience.
Longitudinal study of school climate instrument with secondary school students : validity and reliability analysis with the rasch model
(University of Malaya, 2024-10) Siti Nadya Zynuddin; Bambang Sumintono
The school climate plays a pivotal role in students’ outcomes. Previous literature has highlighted several methodological approaches employed in the school climate domain, including longitudinal studies. However, little is known about the validity and reliability of school climate instruments for longitudinal studies using Rasch analysis. Rasch model is a powerful approach to validate assessment on both item and test levels. Rasch model is coined from the probability of each response and includes item difficulty parameters to characterize the measured items. Moreover, the score represents the item and the person involved with the assessment. Thus, the current study aimed to validate school climate instruments for longitudinal studies with a six-month gap within the context of secondary school students by utilising Rasch analysis. This study evaluated aspects of reliability and validity, such as unidimensionality, rating scale analysis, item fit statistics, item targeting, and differential item functioning. A total of 1,495 secondary school students from public schools in Selangor, Malaysia, completed a 28-item Malay version of the school climate survey at Time-1 and Time-2, with a six-month gap. The results of the Rasch analysis indicated that the instrument had excellent reliability and separation indices, excellent unidimensionality and construct validity, a functional rating scale, good item-person targeting, and good item fit statistics. The current findings provided valid and reliable insights pertinent for policymakers to strategise interventions and initiatives to enhance the quality of school climate and overall education, particularly in the Asian context.
