Drama and Jokes Reminding Human Rights: Sekber’ 65 Advocacy Human Rights Issues Through Ketoprak
The resolution of gross human rights violations during the 1965 Tragedy in Indonesia still faces structural obstacles, particularly through legal mechanisms and state policies. In this situation, the victim community has developed alternative culture-based advocacy strategies. Previous research has indicated that artistic activities serve as an alternative means of advocating for human rights victims, healing trauma, and political struggle. This article analyzes Ketoprak Srawung Bersama (KSB), a performance art practice initiated by the victim community under the Joint SekBer'65 Surakarta, as a cultural strategy in human rights advocacy. Using an interpretive qualitative approach with an ethnographic approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. In this analysis, uses Henri Lefebvre's spatial production and Antonio Gramsci's hegemony, as well as Victor Turner's liminality. The results show that KSB functions as a space for the production of alternative narratives, a medium for the negotiation of collective memory, and an affect-based advocacy strategy that challenges the state's hegemonic narrative about the 1965 Tragedy. Performing arts in this context not only represent the experiences of victims but also become a social practice that expands the discourse on human rights in the public sphere, likes agrarian issues, structural inequality, and exploitation. In the performance, the victims of '65 were involved in scriptwriting, acting, and directing. This was a novelty in previous research, which only addressed art as an alternative, but did not show how victims were involved in artistic productions that became a new space for victims of human rights violations.

Governance and Performance of Waste-to-Energy in Indonesia: A Comparative Review of Benowo and Putri Cempo
Indonesia’s rapid growth in municipal solid waste generation has increased urgency for low-carbon waste management solutions. In response, the government has accelerated Waste-to-Energy development in 12 designated cities under Presidential Regulation No. 35/2018. This study applies a Systematic Literature Review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines to examine governance frameworks, environmental performance, and economic feasibility of Waste-to-Energy projects in Indonesia, with a comparative focus on the Benowo and Putri Cempo facilities. Literature was systematically retrieved from Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar using policy- and technology-related keywords. The search yielded 21 eligible publications between 2018–2025 that include empirical studies and policy-relevant documents. The results indicate that although both facilities operate under the same national regulatory framework, they differ in financing schemes, risk allocation, and operational efficiency. Benowo’s BOT model supported by tipping fees provides financial stability, whereas Putri Cempo’s DBFOT scheme requires higher operational efficiency due to the absence of municipal subsidies. Environmental assessments show that Benowo’s hybrid gasification and landfill gas system reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 57.1% from the pre-2015 level, while gasification at Putri Cempo achieves more than 85% waste reduction with lower emission intensity than conventional incineration. Economic feasibility is sensitive to waste quality, capacity utilization, and policy incentives. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated governance, environmental, and economic perspective linking national policy design with local implementation outcomes. The findings imply that stronger risk-sharing arrangements, improved waste segregation, and transparent environmental audits are essential to ensure sustainability of Waste-to-Energy development in Indonesia.

Parasocial Intimacy, Perceived Authenticity, and Scarcity Prestige in Creator-Led Commerce: Drivers of Premium Food Purchase Decisions
This study examines purchase decision making in creator led premium food commerce by analysing how parasocial intimacy, perceived authenticity, and product scarcity shape consumer behaviour in Indonesia’s influencer driven market. Despite high prices and limited functional differentiation, creator led products often generate strong demand, yet empirical explanations remain limited. This study addresses how symbolic and psychological factors translate into purchase decisions within this context. Extending social commerce and influencer marketing literature, this research integrates parasocial intimacy, perceived authenticity, and scarcity prestige within a single model, with intention to purchase as a mediating variable. Data were collected from 420 social media users aged 20 to 45 in Jakarta and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. The results indicate that intention to purchase has a strong and significant effect on purchase decisions, while parasocial intimacy, perceived authenticity, and product scarcity influence purchase decisions only indirectly through intention, indicating full mediation. These findings suggest that premium food consumption in creator led markets follows a deliberative pathway rather than a purely impulsive one, where emotional closeness, authenticity perceptions, and credible scarcity cues must first shape purchase intention before translating into behaviour. This study highlights the central role of intention formation in premium social commerce and provides strategic implications for creators and brands to prioritise authentic relationships and credible value construction over direct sales pressure.

Ontological, Epistemological, and Axiological Foundations for AI based Learning Models: An Integrative Literature Review
This paper examines the philosophical foundations of AI based learning models by integrating ontological, epistemological, and axiological perspectives into a unified conceptual framework. Although artificial intelligence has rapidly transformed educational environments, prior research has largely examined these philosophical dimensions in isolation, resulting in fragmented guidance for design and implementation. To address this gap, this study develops an integrative tripartite framework that explains how ontological structures, epistemological processes, and axiological principles jointly shape AI supported learning systems. Using an integrative literature review, this study analyses thirty two Scopus indexed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025, complemented by foundational philosophical works. Thematic synthesis identifies three interdependent components of AI based learning: the ontological dimension structures learners, data, algorithms, and educational contexts; the epistemological dimension explains how knowledge is co constructed, validated, and negotiated between humans and intelligent systems; and the axiological dimension articulates the values governing AI use, including human agency, fairness, accountability, and ethical responsibility. The main contribution of this study is a coherent conceptual framework with clearly defined components and application pathways for guiding the design, evaluation, and governance of AI based learning models. The novelty lies in explicitly integrating ontology, epistemology, and axiology into a single model, moving beyond prior fragmented approaches. The findings position AI integration as a multidimensional educational challenge rather than a purely technical endeavour and provide a structured foundation for developing AI supported learning systems that are pedagogically meaningful, ethically grounded, and socially responsible.

Learning Technologies and Leadership in Learning Organizations: A Systematic Literature Review
This paper examines how leadership, organizational learning, and technology integration interact to foster innovation and adaptability within learning organizations in the context of digital transformation. While prior studies have largely examined these elements in isolation, there remains limited synthesis of how leadership, learning processes, and digital technologies jointly operate across organizational contexts. This review is novel in that it systematically integrates leadership styles, organizational learning processes, and digital transformation within a single analytical framework and classifies existing empirical studies according to direct, moderation, and mediation models. Using a systematic literature review guided by PRISMA, the study synthesises 23 peer-reviewed empirical articles published between 2015 and 2025 across education, healthcare, public, and private sector organizations. The findings show that leadership influences organizational learning and performance through both direct and indirect pathways, with effects shaped by contextual conditions such as organizational flexibility and sectoral characteristics. Mediation mechanisms, particularly employee productivity and knowledge sharing, are central in translating leadership practices and technology adoption into improved organizational outcomes. Moderation effects further indicate that leadership effectiveness varies according to organizational readiness and environmental complexity. The review highlights that context-sensitive leadership and strategically aligned digital learning initiatives are critical for sustainable organizational development. It concludes by recommending that future research and policy prioritize integrated and adaptive approaches to leadership development and digital learning, offering a coherent roadmap for scholars and practitioners seeking to build resilient and innovative learning organizations.

The Role of the Dayak Customary Council as a Local Policy Entrepreneurs in the Food Estate Agenda in Central Kalimantan
This paper examines the role of the Dayak Customary Council (DAD) as a local policy entrepreneur in the implementation of Indonesia's food estate program in Central Kalimantan. While the national policy has sparked debate regarding its socio-environmental impacts, the influence of indigenous actors on agenda-setting remains underexplored. This study investigates how DAD reframed the food estate as a development opportunity, utilized customary rituals to legitimize land conversion, and strategically aligned with the provincial government. Using a qualitative case study and process tracing methodology, data were gathered through interviews, document analysis, and field observations. The findings demonstrate that DAD performed a dual role as both a cultural mediator and a political actor, skillfully navigating between state interests and indigenous concerns. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of hybrid governance by illustrating how indigenous institutions can act as key policy entrepreneurs in subnational policymaking. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating indigenous governance structures into the policy process. In practical terms, the findings highlight the need for policymakers to engage with indigenous institutions in development projects, ensuring the integration of local knowledge and values. Further research should explore the long-term socio-environmental impacts of such collaborations and how they influence policy outcomes across different regions in Indonesia.

Interpersonal Communication Role in Cross-Sector Collaboration: A Case Study of Look Communication and BCA
Look Communication, a creative agency specializing in event management and strategic communication, has maintained a long-term cross-sector collaboration with PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), a leading financial institution in Indonesia, for nearly a decade. Despite the longevity of this partnership, the collaboration frequently encounters challenges arising from the contrasting organizational disciplines and cultures between the creative and financial sectors. As this dyad remains underexplored, particularly in the Indonesian context, this study offers a new empirical perspective on cross-sector collaboration dynamics. This study explores the strategic role of interpersonal communication in facilitating effective cross-disciplinary collaboration between the two entities. Employing a qualitative intrinsic case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including a Senior Account Executive and the Director of Look Communication, a client representative from BCA, and an independent public relations practitioner for triangulation. The analysis reveals that Joseph A. DeVito’s five elements of interpersonal communication provide an analytical framework for understanding how trust, mutual understanding, and sustained interaction are developed and maintained. These elements openness, empathy, supportiveness, positivity, and equality form the core of the interpersonal communication in cross-sector collaboration and enable deeper insights into how trust and shared understandings emerge through everyday interactions. Furthermore, the Client-Firm Relationship model proposed by Pritchard and Smith underscores the importance of sustained communication in fostering trust and cooperation. The findings suggest that interpersonal communication functions not only as a mechanism for sustaining long-term professional relationships but also as a strategic foundation for managing organizational differences and enhancing collaborative effectiveness.

Crisis-Driven Rebranding and Narrative Strategy: The Transformation of Kutus Kutus into Sanga Sanga
Rebranding often becomes a strategic imperative, not merely an option, especially when a brand faces massive internal crises and market challenges. This qualitative study examines the rebranding strategy employed by Babe Bambang Pranoto, founder of PT Kutus-Kutus Herbal, in transforming the brand from "Kutus Kutus" to "Sanga Sanga". Through an in-depth analysis of autobiographical narratives, social media content, and public interviews, this research reveals how a defensive-progressive rebranding approach was implemented. The findings indicate that this strategy was constructed and communicated in social media as a means of restoring consumer trust, particularly through authentic storytelling and the strategic use of digital platforms, rather than through empirically measured consumer responses. The brand's repositioning into the premium segment, underpinned by locally resonant cultural symbolism articulated as a branding narrative, and integrate cultural symbolism in support of premium market repositioning. This study provides a valuable conceptual and analytical insights for understanding crisis-driven rebranding, especially for heritage brands navigating legitimacy, authenticity, and identity reconstruction in the digital era. These conclusions are derived from interpretive narrative and communication analysis rather than direct measurement of consumer attitudes or market performance.

Regulating Fintech Abuse in Illegal Online Lending: A Criminal Law and Policy Approach
The rapid expansion of financial technology (fintech) has transformed digital financial services, particularly in the online lending sector. However, this growth has been accompanied by the proliferation of illegal online lending platforms operating outside formal regulatory frameworks. These platforms often engage in abusive practices, including excessive interest rates, coercive debt collection, misuse of personal data, intimidation, and other forms of cyber-enabled economic crime. This article examines the regulatory and criminal law frameworks governing fintech-related abuses in illegal online lending in Indonesia, focusing on their coherence and limitations. Using a normative juridical approach, the study analyzes statutory regulations, policy instruments, and legal doctrines related to fintech regulation, consumer protection, cybercrime, and criminal liability. The findings reveal that, despite the existence of multiple regulatory and penal mechanisms, the legal framework remains fragmented and institutionally dispersed. Key challenges include overlapping regulatory mandates, weak coordination among supervisory and law enforcement bodies such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, and criminal justice institutions and the increasingly transnational nature of digital financial crimes. This article proposes normative recommendations to enhance regulatory coherence, particularly through integrated regulatory supervision. This approach emphasizes structured coordination among relevant authorities, clearer division of institutional responsibilities, shared enforcement mechanisms, and harmonized regulatory standards. By clarifying structural and doctrinal gaps, this study contributes to strengthening consumer protection and improving legal certainty within Indonesia’s fintech ecosystem.

Bridging Global Norms and Local Action: UN Women’s Transnational Advocacy Networks in Combating Gender-Based Violence in Indonesia
This research examines the role of UN Women’s Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in Indonesia during the 2020–2024 period, focusing on the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign. GBV remains a persistent concern within Indonesia’s policy landscape, and transnational advocacy has become increasingly influential in shaping national discourses. Drawing on the Transnational Advocacy Networks framework developed by Keck and Sikkink, this research analyzes advocacy strategies operating through information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, and accountability politics. By concentrating on a defined temporal scope and a single advocacy initiative, the study provides an empirically grounded examination of UN Women’s advocacy practices in Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative methodology based on document analysis of UN Women publications, campaign materials, legal instruments, and reports produced by national institutions and civil society organizations. The findings indicate that advocacy activities predominantly operate through information and symbolic politics by producing and disseminating gender-related data and aligning campaign narratives with international gender equality norms. Overall, this research demonstrates that UN Women’s transnational advocacy in Indonesia primarily contributes to norm diffusion and policy agenda-setting, while post-legislative accountability remains limited across institutional contexts and enforcement practices at national and local levels contexts.

Cultural Resilience in Print Media: The Case of Djaka Lodang Magazine in Preserving Javanese Language and Local Wisdom
Djaka Lodang Magazine, a Javanese-language print medium established in 1971, represents a rare case of cultural resilience amid the dominance of globalized digital media. While existing scholarship on media globalization predominantly emphasizes cultural homogenization, digital disruption, and the decline of local traditions, insufficient attention has been given to how regional-language print media strategically negotiate market pressures while actively sustaining cultural identity. Drawing on the political economy of media and medium theory, this study examines Djaka Lodang as an intrinsic case of local media resilience in preserving the Javanese language and cultural values within a digitized media ecosystem. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically to identify patterns in editorial practices, institutional strategies, and cultural narratives. The findings reveal that Djaka Lodang operates not merely as a cultural archive but as an institutionalized mechanism of cultural transmission, sustained through linguistic authenticity, value-driven editorial policies, and community-based networks that selectively engage with, rather than submit to, commercial media logic. This study advances the political economy of media by demonstrating that regional-language print media can function as strategic sites of cultural resistance within contemporary media capitalism. The novelty of this research lies in its theoretical reconceptualization of local print media not as passive victims of digital transformation, but as adaptive actors that reshape media-market relations through cultural capital and community embeddedness. These findings contribute to broader debates on media resilience, cultural sustainability, and the future of minority-language media in the digital era.

The Role of Social Media Campaigns in Enhancing Corporate Sustainability Initiatives: A Study of Selected Companies in Southeast Asia
Social, environmental and economic pressures are increasing the urgency of corporate sustainability in Southeast Asia, while encouraging companies to use social media as a campaign channel and strategic communication tool. This study, grounded in the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework, Stakeholder Theory, and Corporate Communication Theory, explores how selected Southeast Asian companies utilize social media to enhance sustainability initiatives which also serve as a bridge between the perspectives of business ethics, marketing communications, and sustainable development. Through a qualitative, secondary data approach, the research examines specific case studies including Pertamina, Petronas, and Thai Union Group, to assess strategies, challenges, and engagement effectiveness. The data analysed consists of relevant previous research and documentation from the companies concerned. This study does not directly measure the effectiveness of engagement, but rather interprets the effectiveness of engagement in terms of narrative coherence. The study also addresses recent criticisms of the TBL framework, highlighting ethical tensions between profitability and moral responsibility. Findings reveal that localized storytelling, influencer collaboration, and transparency tend to enhance stakeholder trust and campaign resonance. However, inconsistencies in messaging and the risk of performative activism remain critical issues. By integrating empirical cases and theoretical critique, this research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how digital platforms mediate corporate sustainability in diverse Southeast Asian contexts. The study concludes with recommendations for more stakeholder driven and ethically coherent communication strategies.

Cognitive, Structural, and Behaviour: The Deadlocked Situation in The Negotiation for Resolving Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine (2022-2025)
This paper examines recent negotiations regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The conflict escalated into a full-scale war in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Using qualitative descriptive study and document analysis using Faure’s deadlock framework, this research identifies several indicators which show the negotiation between Russia and Ukraine for resolving their conflict has reached a deadlocked situation. This research also found that several factors such as cognitive, structural, and behavioural factor is causing the deadlock within the negotiations. The findings suggest that these factors are creating a condition where no substantive result and repeated arguments happened, which is indicators that the negotiation has reached a deadlocked condition. These findings also give implications towards the negotiation dynamics between two party, suggesting several strategies needed to overcome the deadlock within the negotiations. This research contributes to the limited amount of discourse regarding the negotiation conditions that occurred between Russia and Ukraine for resolving their conflict, offering a new perspective by applying Faure’s indicators and factors such as Cognitive, Structural, and Behaviour towards this issue.

Stakeholder Collaboration and Tourism Value Creation: A Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Tourism Research
Stakeholders play a crucial role in generating value within the tourism sector, as destination attractiveness alone is insufficient to ensure sustainable competitiveness. Tourists’ value expectations increasingly determine the success of tourism destinations. This study aims to map and analyze scientific publications related to stakeholders and tourism value using a bibliometric approach. Data were retrieved from the Dimensions database using the search string (“stakeholder” AND “value tourism”) applied to title, abstract, and keyword fields. After data cleaning and screening, a total of 895 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2024 were included. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, focusing on publication trends, co-authorship networks, citation structures, total link strength, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. The results indicate a consistent growth in research related to stakeholders in tourism over the past decade, highlighting increasing academic attention to value creation and sustainable tourism development. The keyword co-occurrence analysis indicates that stakeholder-related value tourism frequently appears in peripheral cluster positions and exhibits lower total link strength compared to dominant themes such as tourist satisfaction and destination performance. This study contributes to the tourism literature by identifying emerging themes, research gaps, and potential directions for future studies, particularly in stakeholder collaboration and value co-creation. Practically, the findings provide insights for destination management organizations and policymakers to strengthen stakeholder involvement in developing sustainable tourism and enhancing destination brand equity.

Evaluation of the Impact of Stunting Policy in Improving Nutrition in Banyumas Regency
This study examines the effectiveness of Banyumas Regent Regulation Number 25 of 2020 in reducing stunting prevalence in Banyumas Regency, where stunting remains a critical public health and development issue. The research question is: How effective is the regulation in reducing stunting prevalence through targeted nutritional interventions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative survey data from families with toddlers and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders to assess policy implementation and outcomes. The findings show a significant decline in stunting prevalence in 2022 following the regulation’s implementation, although an increase in 2023 indicates sustainability challenges. Unlike national-level policy frameworks that provide broad strategic guidelines and standardized targets across regions, this regional regulation translates national priorities into context-specific interventions tailored to local demographic, socio-economic, and institutional conditions in Banyumas. Compared to other local case studies that often focus on program-level initiatives or pilot projects, this regulation represents a formalized and binding district-level legal instrument that integrates cross-sector coordination, budget allocation, and monitoring mechanisms within the local governance structure. The study concludes that while the regulation demonstrated initial effectiveness, sustained stunting reduction requires stronger program implementation, cross-sector coordination, and continuous policy support to ensure long-term impact at the regional level.

Pathways to Youth Radicalization: A Criminological Analysis of Risk Factors and Prevention Strategies
The growing involvement of youth in violent extremism and radical movements has emerged as a pressing global concern, raising urgent questions about the underlying social and criminogenic factors that drive this phenomenon. This study aims to explore the pathways of youth radicalization through a criminological lens, identifying the key risk factors and proposing context sensitive prevention strategies. Using a normative juridical and descriptive analytical approach, the research examines relevant legal frameworks, criminological theories, and secondary data sources to develop a comprehensive model of youth radicalization. The findings reveal that radicalization is not a linear or homogenous process, but rather the result of intersecting influences such as social marginalization, institutional neglect, identity crises, and exposure to extremist narrative soften reinforced by digital environments. The analysis supports and expands upon strain theory and social disorganization theory, emphasizing the role of structural exclusion and weakened community ties. This study also identifies limitations in dominant counter radicalization strategies that rely heavily on surveillance and psychological profiling, arguing instead for holistic, rights based, and community driven interventions. The research contributes to the theoretical discourse on radicalization while offering actionable recommendations for policymakers, educators, and civil society actors. Its implications underscore the need for preventive frameworks that are ethically grounded, socially inclusive, and empirically informed. By shifting the paradigm from securitization to social resilience, this study advocates for a more just and sustainable approach to addressing youth radicalization.

The Role of Generation Z on Social Media in Facilitating Political Activism in the Digital Era
This study aims to examine the role of Generation Z in utilizing social media as a platform for political activism and mobilization in the digital era, with a particular focus on East Java Province. Social media has evolved into a digital public sphere that enables young people to access political information, express their views, and build political engagement in a more open and dynamic manner. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method involving individual digital activists and the student organization BEM SI East Java Region as research subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation of social media activities, and literature review. The findings indicate that social media plays a significant role in shaping Generation Z’s political communication strategies and encouraging the gradual mobilization of political participation through digital networks. However, digital political activism also faces several challenges, including the spread of disinformation, opinion polarization, social pressure, and concerns regarding digital regulation. This study concludes that social media serves as a strategic instrument in transforming Generation Z’s political participation toward more participatory digital democratic practices, while still requiring strengthened digital literacy and supportive policies to ensure a healthy and inclusive digital space.

The Public Communication Model of the Government of Gorontalo Province as a Strategy for Enhancing Public Trust from a Governance Perspective
This study examines how the Government of Gorontalo Province operationalizes public communication as a governance strategy to strengthen public trust. While prior studies discuss public communication and good governance normatively, this research contributes by empirically mapping how transparency, participation, responsiveness, and accountability are practiced and interconnected within a provincial government setting. Using a qualitative case study design, data are collected through in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, non-participant observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis is applied to identify communication patterns and governance dimensions. The findings show that public communication is predominantly informational, with limited but emerging dialogical elements. Informants perceive that transparency and responsiveness are relatively evident in service delivery, whereas participation and accountability remain largely procedural. Within this case context, these patterns shape public perceptions of openness and fairness, indicating that strengthening dialogical and participatory communication is essential for sustaining public trust in local governance.

The Influence of Principal’s Professional Competence, Work Motivation, and Job Satisfaction on Teachers’ Professional Attitude in Public Elementary Schools in Kejajar District, Wonosobo Regency
Based on a preliminary assessment conducted in 2024 by the local education supervisory authority under the Wonosobo Regency Education Office, teacher professionalism in public elementary schools in Kejajar District was categorized as low. This classification was based on a standardized monitoring instrument covering pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies aligned with the national framework. The assessment of 132 teachers produced an average score of 68.4 out of 100, below the institutional threshold of 75, indicating systemic challenges in maintaining professional standards. This study investigates the influence of principal professional competence, work motivation, and job satisfaction on teachers’ professional attitudes. A quantitative correlational design was applied, involving 125 teachers selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression with SPSS version 24. The findings show that principal competence (β = 0.312, p < 0.001), work motivation (β = 0.285, p < 0.001), and job satisfaction (β = 0.267, p < 0.001) each have a positive and significant effect on teachers’ professional attitudes. Collectively, these variables explain 58.6% of the variance (R² = 0.586). These results highlight the integrated role of leadership and motivational factors in shaping teacher professionalism and provide empirical support for strengthening instructional leadership and teacher motivation, particularly in resource-constrained educational contexts. KEYWORDS: Job Satisfaction, Principal’s Professional Competence, Teachers’ Professional Attitude, Work Motivation.

Analysis of the Implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006 as an International Regime Toward Indonesian Seafarers in South Korea
This study examines the implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006 as an international regime in the context of Indonesian seafarers working in South Korea. Using an international regime perspective that emphasizes norms as instruments governing the behavior of member states, this research contributes novelty by revealing operational differences between the internationally navigating fish carrier sector and the small-scale fishing vessel sector. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants namely a marine engineer officer on a merchant vessel and an official of the Jangkar Karat Indonesia labor union selected through purposive sampling based on work experience, and further strengthened by thematic analysis of complaint records from BP2MI. The findings indicate that large merchant vessels tend to demonstrate compliance with MLC 2006 standards, while small fishing vessels still exhibit significant violations, including working hour violations, wage discrepancies, and inadequate health protection for seafarers. This study concludes that ratification status does not automatically guarantee comprehensive compliance, and that strengthening oversight mechanisms and transnational cooperation particularly between Indonesia and South Korea is essential to closing this implementation gap.

A Study of Curriculum Development Models in Vocational Health Higher Education to Support an Impactful Campus for Polytechnic Students
Curriculum development in vocational higher education continues to face structural challenges, particularly in aligning institutional design with dynamic labor market demands in the health sector. While existing studies emphasize competency-based and industry-oriented curricula, there remains a critical gap in empirically grounded, student-informed frameworks that integrate learning conditions, work–study balance, and adaptability to curricular change. This study addresses this gap by proposing a needs-informed curriculum development model derived from student experience, with an emphasis on adaptive learning environments and meaningful campus engagement. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed through a survey of 54 health polytechnic students. The study examined learning engagement, work–study conditions, and perceptions of curriculum implementation. The findings reveal that 72% of respondents were engaged in simultaneous work and study activities, while 68% reported achieving adequate mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. However, 41% experienced moderate difficulties in adapting to curriculum changes, particularly in time management and instructional adjustment. These findings indicate that although dual-role students demonstrate resilience, structural support remains necessary to optimize learning outcomes. Based on these results, the study proposes a curriculum development model comprising three core components: (1) flexible curriculum structures accommodating working students, (2) adaptive learning strategies facilitating curriculum transition, and (3) experiential learning integration to enhance field relevance. The study implies that effective curriculum design in health polytechnics must extend beyond competency alignment to incorporate student adaptability and contextual learning dynamics. This research contributes a student-centered, empirically validated framework that strengthens institutional responsiveness and supports sustainable curriculum innovation.

The Virtues of the Righteous Woman in the Dimension of Islamic Religious Education and Their Correlation with Household Harmony
This study examines the phenomenon of early marriage, commonly associated with social pressures transmitted through family expectations, community norms, and media discourse, which may also affect urban women, including civil servants in the education sector. Such pressures are often linked to vulnerabilities in domestic relationships, including potential verbal and non-verbal violence. Using a qualitative-descriptive literature review, this research systematically analyzes relevant academic sources to explore the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) values in shaping the personality of ṣāliḥah women as a form of psychosocial competence. The analysis focuses on three key themes: (1) the transmission of social norms from rural to urban contexts, (2) the conceptualization of ṣāliḥah women as encompassing emotional regulation, assertive communication, rights awareness, and coping strategies, and (3) the relationship between the internalization of PAI values and family relationship quality. The findings suggest that the internalization of religious values extends beyond normative dimensions, functioning as a psychosocial resource with the potential to act as a protective factor against social pressures and unhealthy domestic dynamics. However, this relationship remains conceptual and context-dependent. This study contributes by proposing a conceptual model positioning the ṣāliḥah construct as a psychosocial competence linking PAI value internalization to household harmony through self-regulation and adaptive social interaction. A key limitation is the absence of empirical validation due to its reliance on literature-based analysis.

Education-Driven Motivation as a Key Determinant of Tour Guide Performance in Community-Based Walking Tours
Jakarta, as a metropolitan city rich in history and culture, offers substantial potential for community-based tourism development through walking tours. The quality of tourist experiences is closely associated with the competence of tour guides, which is reflected in their education, certification, motivation, and professional performance. This study examines the relationships between education and certification with motivation and their associations with the performance of the Jakarta Good Guide walking tour community. Data were collected from 32 respondents and analysed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that education is positively and significantly associated with motivation (β = 0.803; p < 0.001), whereas certification is not significantly associated with motivation (β = 0.022; p = 0.870). Motivation shows the strongest association with performance, as indicated by the largest path coefficient in the model (β = 0.850; p < 0.001). Furthermore, motivation mediates the relationship between education and performance within the tested model (β = 0.683; p < 0.001). In contrast, certification does not demonstrate significant direct or indirect associations with performance. These findings highlight the role of motivation as a key mechanism linking education and performance within this sample. From a practical perspective, the study suggests that community-based tourism development programs may benefit from prioritizing educational initiatives and motivational enhancement rather than relying solely on formal certification processes.

Tanjungjaya Village on the Rise: Integrating SWOT Analysis and Tourism Competitiveness for Sustainable Growth
Village tourism development is increasingly recognized as a strategic approach to promoting sustainable tourism, enhancing local community welfare, and improving destination competitiveness. Tanjungjaya Tourism, located in the buffer zone of the Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone, possesses significant natural, cultural, and community-based potential, yet faces challenges related to technology integration, environmental management, and tourism governance. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness of Tanjungjaya Tourism and formulate development strategies using a SWOT framework that integrates competitiveness assessment with strategic planning. A qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews with village leaders, Tourism Awareness Groups (Pokdarwis), local entrepreneurs, residents, and visitors, complemented by observation and documentation. Data were analyzed thematically using NVivo 15, with five dimensions of tourism competitiveness (economic, socio-cultural, political, technological, and environmental) operationalized as primary coding categories. The findings reveal that the economic and socio-cultural dimensions are the most dominant, as evidenced by higher coding density, frequent recurrence across stakeholder groups, and strong triangulated thematic patterns. These dimensions are reflected in active community participation, the preservation of local cultural heritage, and the presence of tourism-related SMEs. However, key challenges remain, including limited technology integration, suboptimal policy implementation, and environmental management that requires more systematic planning. The SWOT-based analysis identifies strategic priorities, including strengthening digital literacy, enhancing community-based governance, developing thematic tourism products, promoting ecotourism and cultural tourism, and integrating technology into destination management. This study provides a strategic framework to strengthen Tanjungjaya Tourism as a sustainable, community-centered destination and offers actionable pathways to enhance long-term competitiveness.

English Education Students’ Engagement on Narrative Text Lexical Density Analysis through Project-Based Learning
This research explores the use of lexical density of narrative texts in the context of Project-Based Learning. It applies a qualitative research method with a case study investigating 13 English Education Study Program students in three groups in learning the use of lexical density of narrative texts found in three online English textbooks published by the Government for 10th-12th grade students in Indonesia. The technique of the data analysis it uses is three interactive activities of the qualitative researcher, i.e., data collection/reduction, data display, and conclusion draw/verification. The results show that in the context of PBL, the lexical densities of three texts the students could invent are moderate, i.e., 4.45 or 55.64% in text-1, 3.15 or 52.12% in text-2, and 3.89 or 55.69% in text-3. In the classroom setting, the students could construct knowledge on the use of lexical density in narrative texts found in the online English textbooks for 10th-12th grade students in Indonesia. Since this research was a qualitative method with a case study design in the investigation on how a small number of research subjects analysed the use of lexical density of a small number of narrative texts in a classroom reality, it is suggested to apply other research type to investigate the use of lexical density in the narrative texts found in online English textbooks to shed reliable and indispensible pedagogical light to improve the capacity of the prospective English language teacher to face the communicative challenges in the 21st century.

Practices and Meanings of Deep Learning in Social Studies Instruction at the Remote Manis Mata School
Social studies (IPS) learning in remote elementary schools remains constrained by limited access, inadequate infrastructure, and an exam-oriented assessment culture, often resulting in surface-level understanding. Concurrently, curricular orientations promoted by the Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi Republik Indonesia through the Merdeka Curriculum emphasize contextual social literacy and the development of students’ civic-cultural identity. In this study, identity is defined as the integration of local (inland) cultural belonging and civic awareness, positioning IPS as a medium for socially situated meaning-making and participatory citizenship. This study investigates the practices and meanings of deep learning in IPS classrooms in Manis Mata District, West Kalimantan. Deep learning is operationalized as meaningful conceptual engagement, critical reflection on social realities, and the integration of students’ lived experiences into knowledge construction. Employing a qualitative case-study design, the research was conducted in three remote elementary schools. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving 6 teachers, 27 upper-grade students, and 3 school leaders. Participants were purposively selected, and data were analyzed thematically. Findings indicate that deep learning becomes meaningful when instruction is rooted in local contexts, although its implementation is shaped by structural constraints. IPS classrooms also function as spaces for civic-cultural identity formation and social awareness, including emotional ambivalence when marginal experiences are expressed. This study refines social constructivist perspectives by highlighting the role of local epistemologies in shaping deep learning within marginalized settings, and suggests the need for contextual teacher development, adaptive assessment, and locally grounded curricula.

Fear of Missing Out and Digital Content Marketing as Drivers of Impulse Buying in Social Commerce Platforms
This study investigates how fear of missing out (FoMO) and content marketing drive impulse buying among Generation Z skincare consumers on TikTok Shop in Jakarta, addressing the need for clearer insight into psychological and marketing mechanisms within Indonesia’s rapidly evolving social commerce landscape. The research directly compares the relative impact of internal (FoMO) and external (content marketing) drivers within a single empirical model—an area previously underexplored in the context of Indonesia’s rapidly expanding social commerce. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional online survey, data were collected from 405 TikTok Shop skincare buyers aged 18–28 in Jakarta and analysed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that both FoMO and content marketing significantly increase impulse buying, with content marketing demonstrating the stronger effect. These findings demonstrate that both engaging content and FoMO-based strategies can increase impulse buying among Generation Z skincare consumers. The study contributes theoretically by providing empirical evidence that both psychological (FoMO) and marketing (content) drivers jointly influence impulse buying in social commerce platforms, highlighting the importance of integrating internal and external factors within explanatory models of consumer behaviour. Despite its insights, limitations include self-reported data and focus on one city; future research should use behavioural data and expand to other regions and demographics.

Empowering Indonesian Coffee: A Transnational Community-Based Branding Model for Sustainable Livelihoods in the Global South
Introduction: Indonesian specialty coffee holds strong production capacity and geographical indication (GI) potential, yet remains underrepresented in global consumer markets. This condition reflects a structural gap in agrifood value chains, where smallholder farmers are positioned primarily as raw material suppliers rather than participants in downstream branding and value creation. This study examines how community-based branding can function as an upstream capacity-building approach to address this imbalance. The research investigates the question: How can participatory branding interventions enhance branding capacity among smallholder coffee farmers prior to market activation? Novelty: This paper introduces community-based branding as an intermediate capacity-building mechanism in agrifood contexts, rather than as a market-ready branding strategy. Unlike existing studies that focus on certification, price premiums, or downstream branding actors, this research integrates participatory action research with branding and GI discourse to foreground farmers’ branding literacy, narrative ownership, and collective agency—an area that remains insufficiently explored in current literature. Methods: The study employs a participatory action research (PAR) design involving smallholder coffee farming communities in Indonesia. Data were collected through pre- and post-intervention assessments, participatory observation, and facilitated branding workshops. An exploratory consumer awareness survey conducted in Sydney, Australia (n = 57) was used to provide contextual insight into downstream brand awareness. Results: The findings indicate observable improvements in farmers’ understanding of branding concepts, geographical indication, and collective brand ownership. The exploratory survey reveals limited consumer awareness of Indonesian coffee brands, underscoring the relevance of upstream branding capacity development. Conclusion: The study concludes that community-based branding can support early-stage branding capacity development among smallholder farmers, serving as a foundation for more equitable participation in branding processes. The main implication is that branding initiatives in agrifood systems should prioritize community-level capacity building alongside regulatory and market-oriented strategies.

Algorithmic Morality and Local Value Anchors: How ABS–SBK Mediates Digital Populism in Indonesia’s Regional Politics
This study explores the intersection between social media discourse in West Sumatra and formal governmental processes, focusing on the cultural idiom Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (ABS–SBK). This Minangkabau moral framework is analyzed as a highly "amplifiable" tool within algorithmic media environments. Utilizing digital discourse analysis and online trace mapping, the research examines how moral emotions expressed online are magnified by media gatekeeping and subsequently integrated into formal policy deliberations. Theoretically, the study introduces "local-value-anchored digital populism" to explain how localized idioms become institutionally actionable within Indonesia’s regional politics. Data sources include social media content from key figures, user interactions, news reports, and official documents. The findings reveal a recurring affective-institutional pattern: digital emotions are amplified by news media and then translated by local authorities and customary institutions into formal regulations or initiatives. This dynamic emerges from the convergence of three forces: public emotions, social media algorithms, and institutional structures. When used as a moral frame, the ABS–SBK idiom bridges public affective responses with state procedures, transforming local values into policy language and sources of political legitimacy. Consequently, digital populism in West Sumatra serves as a form of symbolic power construction. It reconfigures the relationship between religion, customary authority, and the state within the digital public sphere, moving beyond mere value-based communication to influence formal institutional channels like bylaws and customary councils.

The #7DaysWithEstrella Campaign on Instagram to Boost Sales of the Unisex Fashion Brand Estrella
Estrella uses a unisex concept, meaning that one product design can be worn by both men and women. Estrella utilizes the Instagram platform to conduct the #7DaysWithEstrella campaign, which aims to increase visibility and introduce its unisex products. The campaign was conducted over a consistently defined period of seven days, aligning with the release of seven product units featured throughout the campaign. This study applies a Holistic Marketing approach through Integrated Marketing, which includes four main aspects: communication, products & services, distribution, and pricing. These aspects are implemented throughout the campaign, from planning to evaluation. The campaign’s progress is described using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), namely changes in follower numbers, the introduction of seven new products, pre-order activity for 15 Estrella items, increases in Instagram viewership, and customer feedback obtained during the campaign period. Rather than claiming campaign effectiveness, these KPIs are presented descriptively to illustrate the observable outcomes within the defined timeframe, without asserting causal success. For future development, sales expansion may be explored through various platforms such as websites and e-commerce marketplaces.

Banking Chatbots in Indonesia as AI-Mediated Communication: A CMC and TAM Analysis
This study aims to explore how banking AI chatbots mediate communication between banks and customers, and to examine user perceptions regarding the ease of use and usefulness of such technology. Employing a qualitative approach, the research analyzes the experiences of three informants who have interacted with AI chatbot services from Bank Mandiri (MITA), BRI (SABRINA), and BNI (CINTA). The study utilizes the framework of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) to assess digital interaction characteristics and adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine factors of technology acceptance. Findings indicate that banking AI chatbots are perceived as useful and easy to use, especially for routine informational queries. However, they are seen as limited in handling complaints or complex problems. While chatbots provide time flexibility and easy access, the low level of social presence leads to a less empathetic communication experience. Despite these limitations, AI chatbots are accepted as efficient digital communication tools for everyday banking needs. The study highlights the need to enhance chatbot interaction quality to become more human-centered and emotionally responsive.

Analysis of Cyber Harassment Violence Management Using the 5R Method on Female Students at Unimuda Sorong Southwest
The phenomenon of cyber harassment as part of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is increasing and has a significant impact on female students, especially in areas with uneven digital literacy such as Southwest Papua. This study aims to analyze the change in students' abilities after the intervention of the 5R Method (Recognize, Respond, Record, Report, Refer) in dealing with cyber harassment, with the novelty in the form of the application of the 5R method as a gender-based structured intervention model that is empirically measured in the context of local universities. The study used a mixed methods method with a one group pretest– posttest design combined with a phenomenological approach, involving 60–70 female students of UNIMUDA Sorong who were selected by purposive sampling. The intervention was carried out through training for 3 sessions in 2 weeks, using a Likert scale questionnaire instrument (1–5) covering five 5R domains with a reliability of Cronbach's Alpha 0.82. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 2.71 to 3.89 (Δ=1.18), with the paired sample t-test showing a significant difference (p<0.05) and a measure of Cohen's effect d of 0.85 (large category). The qualitative findings reinforced these results, showing an increase in awareness, the ability to document digital evidence, and the use of reporting channels and psychosocial support, accompanied by an increased sense of post-intervention security. Although the limitations of the design without a control group limit causality claims, these findings suggest that the 5R method has the potential to be a relevant approach in supporting cyber harassment countermeasures and strengthening gender-based digital literacy in the college environment.

Persuasive Messages in Stunting Prevention Efforts in Koto Tangah Nagari, West Pasaman Regency
Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in West Pasaman. This qualitative case study utilizes the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) to examine how stunting prevention messages are processed by caregivers in Nagari Koto Tangah. Data were gathered through interviews with mothers, cadres, and midwives, along with observations and documentation. The study identifies two primary processing routes. Most participants follow the peripheral route, where message acceptance is driven by trust in familiar figures (midwives and cadres), social proximity, or external incentives like social assistance (PKH) requirements. A smaller group engages in central processing, typically those with higher education or personal experience with child nutrition issues. Key findings suggest that technical jargon like "stunting" often hinders understanding. In contrast, everyday language (e.g., "malnutrition" or "small body"), concrete examples, and direct face-to-face interaction facilitate deeper comprehension and a greater intent to act. Face-to-face communication proved more effective than static materials like posters. However, several barriers to effective communication persist, including crowded service environments, limited opportunities for dialogue, one-way information flow, and household dynamics—such as husbands' resistance to immunization. Additionally, attendance is frequently motivated by social assistance rather than health awareness. The study concludes that effective health communication in rural contexts depends on trusted messengers delivering localized, interactive, and actionable content. This approach encourages caregivers to move beyond passive routine toward meaningful engagement with stunting prevention.
