“…Multiculturalism in universities (Banda & Peck, 2016;Kağnıcı, 2012;Rath, 2012) will provide enormous potential for students who are still in the process of searching for identity to be recruited by radical groups (Sirozi, 2005). In general, new students are a very tasty meal for radical groups to be recruited into their organizations.…”

Natural rubber on the world market has had small increases in demand and big increases in supply. Therefore, demand and supply are imbalanced and this impacts the natural rubber price of the world market causing a decline. This study aimed: (1) to develop de-mand and supply models to predict the world natural rubber quantity using simultaneous equations;(2) to predict all explanatory variables in the demand and supply models using the simple moving average technique; and (3) to estimate the equilibrium quantity and price for world natural rubber during 2017e2026. First, in the demand model, there was a positive relationship of the explanatory variables of world natural rubber production quantity, synthetic rubber price, percentage year of year (%YOY) of gross domestic product (GDP), and the exchange rate, while the negative relationship variable was natural rubber price. In the supply model, the positive relationship variables were natural rubber price, mature area, rainfall, and crude oil price, while the negative relationship variables were world natural rubber stock and urea price. Second, the predicted variables indicated that production, %YOY of GDP, exchange rate, amount of stock, and the mature area tended to gradually increase, while the synthetic rubber price, urea price, rainfall, and crude oil price tended to slowly decrease from 2017 to 2026. Finally, the equilibrium quantity forecast tended to gradually increase from 953.75 to 957.15 thousand tonnes, and the equilibrium price tended to fluctuate and decrease from 169.78 to 162.05 thousand yen from 2017 to 2026. Consequently, this study may be helpful to the governments of the world's important natural rubber producing countries to plan policies to reduce natural rubber production costs and stabilize the natural rubber price in the future, such as by setting suitable areas of world natural rubber plantation in each country, and defining appropriate and sustainable alternative crop areas in each country. AbstractThis study aims to examine students' perception on radicalism dealing with religion and state ideology at State Islamic Institute and three private universities in Palopo (a developing regency in South Sulawesi -Indonesia). It applied a descriptive qualitative research. Then, the subjects of this study were the students who are active in Islamic studies organizations such as Wahdah Islamiyah, Hidzbut Tahrir Indonesia, and others. The findings showed that the students do not dichotomize between religion and state, but rather integrate the values of these two things to create safe and peaceful social lives. It was found that; 1) 94 percent of respondents are categorized as having anti-radical perspective; 2) 6 percent of respondents are categorized as having perspectives tending to be radical; and 3) none of respondents are categorized as having slightly and very radical perspectives. All parties must work together to continuously oversee and control the students to not be tainted with radical ideology by providing positive and beneficial activit...
