As internet users in Indonesia increased by 11% from the previous year, Indonesians are getting more immersive with digital environment. In addition, the pandemic may be one of the drivers of the increase. The trend of using social media has a significant impact on people's social life, including the occurrence of bullying through online media, known as cyberbullying. The study aims to identify forms and impacts of cyberbullying among students of Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Islam Indonesia with pesantren background and active social media users. With the descriptive qualitative method, the researchers applied purposive sampling in determining the respondents. The results of this study indicate that 84.6% of respondents know the definition of cyberbullying. 61.5% of respondents stated that they experienced at least 2 of 7 types of cyberbullying. The interview shows 3 forms of cyberbullying, such as, online harassments, flaming, and exclusion. The informants' reactions to cyberbullying are feeling annoyed, angry, hurt, disappointed, afraid, shock, overthinking, insecure, anxious, embarrassed, sad, concerned, retaliation to the perpetrators, and suicidal attempt. The informants' coping mechanisms are meeting a professional, remaining silent, suppressing their feelings, holding back their anger, blocking any communication access to the bully, and conducting activities to distract them from the occurred cyberbullying (e.g., playing games, journaling, relaxing, and sleeping). The interview also indicates negative and positive consequences of cyberbullying. Finally, the informants believes that social media ethics promoted via digital literacy campaign to young adults will be a solution which will significantly contribute to preventing cyberbullying.
The accuracy of measuring the qibla direction of the mosque in Kendal, Central Java, needs attention from astronomy because the majority of people only know the traditional qibla direction measurement tool namely using a compass and the sun's shadow method. Even though errors in the use of the method will result in inaccurate measurement results and have an impact on the validity of the prayers performed. Therefore, this study compares two methods that are easy for the public to use, namely Google Earth and Mizwala. Google Earth as a method to check the qibla direction and Mizwala as a comparison method to improve Google Earth. Through mathematical qualitative methods with data collection techniques through observation and interviews, it is known that these two methods are the easiest and most accurate to determine the qibla of all mosques. The method of data collection was carried out by calculating and measuring the qibla direction towards 1 mosque and 5 musholla. Although the two methods differ in terms of appearance, that Google Earth uses a satellite network while Mizwala uses the concept of the Sun's shadow, both of them can be used in an easy and integrative way. The result of Mizwala's measurements with Google Earth conclude error tolerance that is a range of minutes of angle. In the end, the two methods can be integrated to help and increase public awareness about the importance of correct qibla direction accuracy.
