National discourses that are acceptable by the alienated groups determine the level of public tolerance towards those groups. This study thus examined the relationships between religious schema and tolerance of two alienated groups in Indonesia, namely, the atheists and believers in indigenous faiths. Additionally, the study explored the differences in tolerance of these two groups across university cohorts encompassing discrete social climates and curricula. This cross-sectional study involved several universities with differing demographic makeup. The analysis results revealed that the characteristics of the evaluated target group determined the significance of the associations between the dimensions of religious schema and tolerance. Moreover, students in homogeneous educational and social environments tended to exhibit low levels of tolerance towards alienated groups. This study highlighted the importance of scrutinising the functions of intergroup exposure and dialogues in improving intergroup understanding, acceptance, and tolerance within a plural society.

The rise of exclusive puritanism movements challenges several communities to live in peaceful coexistence. This research aimed to observe the level of interreligious contact among university students. This was a threefold study. The first part was an initial inquiry to construct an interreligious contact scale. The second sought to see the inferential association between interreligious contact, belief in religious teachings (i.e. religious fundamentalism, kindly religious belief, and meta-religion endorsement), and collective narcissism. The third part was to investigate differences in those variables between students who joined student political organizations with religion-based ideology and those who did not. There were 381 respondents from various religious backgrounds (e.g. Muslim, Christian, and other) participating in this research. The result of the exploratory factor analysis indicated a unidimensionality of the interreligious contact scale. Regression analysis found that religious fundamentalism and collective narcissism made individuals less likely to exhibit interreligious contact. However, kindly religious belief and meta-religion endorsement encouraged interreligious contact. In addition, an independent sample t-test suggested that there was a difference in the inclusivism level between religion-based student organization members and non-members. Members of such organization tended to exhibit a lower level of interreligious contact, while their level of religious fundamentalism and collective narcissism were higher compared to their non-member counterparts.

Penelitian ini berfokus pada temuan pelanggaran kebebasan beragama/berkeyakinan (KBB) di lingkungan perguruan tinggi negeri (PTN), antara lain sumpah atas tegaknya khilafah, persetujuan terhadap syariah sebagai pedoman bernegara, serta lingkungan kampus yang cenderung dikuasai kelompok fundamentalis karena mahasiswa memiliki paham keagamaan yang kaku dan kerap salah paham. Langkah kebijakan institusi pendidikan terkait temuan tersebut hanya bersifat klarifikasi dan belum mencakup penelusuran terhadap akar permasalahan pelanggaran KBB. Hipotesis penelitian adalah fundamentalisme agama merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kecenderungan bias (narsisme kolektif dan out-group derogation) pada aktivis mahasiswa PTN. Metode penelitian berupa eksperimen dengan pemberian priming yang pada penelitian sebelumnya terbukti meningkatkan kecenderungan bias. Subjek penelitian adalah 203 (N=203) mahasiswa PTN yang tergabung dalam organisasi mahasiswa ekstra kampus berbasis Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan fundamentalisme agama tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap narsisme kolektif dan out-group derogation. Pemberian priming tidak terbukti meningkatkan kecenderungan bias (narsisme kolektif dan out-group derogation) pada aktivis mahasiswa PTN.

Tuberculous osteomyelitis of skull is a rare form of tuberculosis with an incidence of 0.2 – 1.3% of all skeletal tuberculosis. A 9-year-old boy presented with a history of prolonged fever, recurrent cough since 2 months before admitted and painless scalp swelling for the previous 1 month. A diagnosis of tubercular etiology was established with the rapid molecular test and histopathology of the fine needle aspiration biopsy specimen. The patient was kept on antitubercular treatment for 12 months. After 2 months treatment he responded well, with a marked resolution of symptoms and physical examination findings.
