“…One probable explanation for the pessimistic attitude towards suicide preventability found in our study might stem from the commonly accepted belief among Indonesians that everything is predetermined in life. Most Javanese adopt the concept of nerimo, which essentially translates into the recognition that one cannot escape from the inevitability of destiny, including matters related to death [42]. This belief seemed to be particularly strong in Gunung Kidul.…”

The suicide rate in Indonesia is considered low among Asian countries, but the underreporting rate is at a staggering 303%, and the latest reports suggest an increase in suicidal behaviour, particularly among young people. As a multicultural country, Indonesia has a complex system of beliefs about suicide. Thus, various aspects specific to Indonesia must be considered in understanding and preventing suicide. This paper explores Indonesian stakeholders’ perspectives through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. A total of 9 participants were individually interviewed, and 42 were involved in focus group discussions. They were mainly people with lived experiences of suicide. The other stakeholders were Indonesian experts who have experience in dealing with suicidal behaviour, helping people with a lived experience of suicide, or were involved in suicide prevention. Indonesian stakeholders highlighted various general and contextualised aspects concerning suicide. These aspects included a wide range of cultural beliefs and culturally specific warning signs, which included “bingung” (confusion) and longing for deceased persons. Other cultural beliefs such as viewing suicide as infectious, unpreventable, and guided by ancient spirits, and as an honourable act in some circumstances, also emerged. These findings can inform suicide prevention programs, including suicide prevention guidelines for Indonesia.

“…The speaker compliments the interlocutor's child by mentioning the positive trait found in the word "nrimo" In the Javanese language, the word "nrimo" means "to accept". The concept of "nrimo" or "acceptance" in Javanese society has become a value that characterizes its people (Kuswaya & Ma'mun, 2020). The teaching of the trait of "nrimo" is also imparted through Javanese proverbs, such as "nrimo ing padum" which means "accepting God's gifts".…”

This research aims to identify the use of speech acts of complimenting in Japanese and Javanese based on six types of compliments, namely appearance compliment, ability/performance compliment, possession compliment, personality/friendliness compliment, residence compliment, and family member compliment. This study uses a descriptive contrastive method with a qualitative approach. The data sources used are a Japanese drama titled "Silent" consisting of six episodes and a Javanese drama entitled "Yo Wis Ben The Series" consisting of five episodes. This research utilizes Holmes's (2003) and Mizutani and Mizutani's (1987) theories on speech acts of complimenting based on their types. The results show that out of the six types of compliments, only four types were found in the Japanese language, which are compliments regarding the speaker's appearance, ability/performance, possession, and personality/friendliness. On the other hand, all six types of compliments were found in the Javanese language. In both Japanese and Javanese compliment speech acts, frequently used words were found, such as "ii ne" (good), "kawaii" (cute/adorable), "suki" (like/love), "jouzu" (great), and "sugoi" (amazing) in Japanese, and "apik" (nice), "lucu" (cute), "bagus" (great), "pinter" (clever/smart), and "mantep" (excellent) in Javanese. These findings indicate that the words used for complimenting in both Japanese and Javanese share similarities.

“…It is natural for him to be known as Ikal's number-one father. Patience and nrima are the qualities of a continuous life process that can inspire people to progress beyond one stage of their lives [54]. Spiritual development is correlated with gratitude.…”

Spirituality is a contentious human phenomenon that encompasses personal, sociocultural, and transcendent interconnection. In Indonesian society, spiritual experiences are often associated with religion. They are also part of the cultural standard, the way of thinking, feeling, and behaving shared by most of a culture's members. This research aims to examine the spiritual and cultural values of Belitung's Muslim society through the Sang Pemimpi film. The research method in this study was critical discourse analysis, a qualitative approach based on a critical paradigm. This study combines Theo van Leeuwen's critical and multimodality discourse analysis techniques. Spiritual values and cultural standards are used as theoretical elements. The character in the film's text with the background of the Muslim society and the Belitung people's culture is the focus of this study. According to the film analysis, spirituality is formed by socio-cultural interactions in people's daily lives. The Malay Muslim community in Belitung adapts well to religious and cultural differences in their social relationships with other ethnic groups, including the Chinese ethnic groups. According to the findings of this study, religiosity and communal domains are the aspects that appear the most in the film.
