This study aims to describe the internal structure and syntactic functions of noun phrases in online news articles about demonstration actions published by Detik.com in August 2025. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with observation and note-taking. Data were obtained from five news articles discussing demonstrations, then analyzed to identify the core elements (head) and modifiers, and to determine the syntactic functions of the phrases within sentences. The analysis results show that the most frequently encountered noun phrase pattern is Noun + Noun (N + N), with modifiers on the right that provide explanations of identity, location, or ownership. The most common syntactic function found is as the subject, followed by the object and adverbial of place. These findings confirm that noun phrases play an important role in explaining information and sentence structure in online news texts. Additionally, the use of noun phrases also reflects the media's language strategy in constructing social and political realities through concise, efficient, and information rich language.

This study examines the relationship between Dayak cosmology and Christian spirituality through the inculturation of the Munjong tradition within Catholic Dayak Tobak communities in Dusun Batu Besi, Desa Sejotang, West Kalimantan. As a post-harvest thanksgiving ritual, Munjong embodies a symbolic framework reflecting the interconnectedness of humans, nature, ancestors, and Jebata within the Dayak worldview. The tradition functions not only as a religious expression but also as a means of preserving cultural identity and fostering social cohesion. Within a predominantly Catholic context, Munjong has undergone reinterpretation, aligning with Eucharistic spirituality as the Church’s central expression of gratitude. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach combined with symbolic interaction analysis, this study shows that the religious values embedded in Munjong, including: gratitude, petitions for protection, and veneration of ancestors as spiritual mediators, correspond with Catholic teachings on divine providence, the communion of saints, and the sacredness of creation. The local Church recognizes Munjong as a cultural practice suitable for inculturation, provided it aligns with Christian doctrine, thereby offering opportunities for contextual liturgy and catechesis. The findings suggest that Munjong can serve as a bridge between faith and local culture while simultaneously reinforcing cultural identity and deepening the spiritual life of the community. The result of this study contributes to the discourse on inculturation, contextual pastoral practice, and strategies for sustaining indigenous traditions amid social change.

This study analyzes the role of the indigenous belief system of the Dayak Tomun community as a foundation for social solidarity, a mechanism of non-formal social control, and a strategy of cultural adaptation in the context of modernization. Grounded in Émile Durkheim’s sociology of religion, particularly the concepts of mechanical solidarity and collective consciousness, this research employs a qualitative approach through a phenomenologically oriented literature review. Data were obtained from ethnographic documents, customary law manuscripts, scholarly articles, and official publications. The findings indicate that indigenous rituals, such as Babukung and Bana’i Tamu, function as means of strengthening emotional bonds and reproducing collective values through communal participation and sacred symbols. Customary law and the pamali system operate effectively as mechanisms of non-formal social control derived from supranatural authority, while simultaneously serving as strategies for ecological conservation. Indigenous beliefs also constitute the foundation of collective consciousness through the internalization of values such as mutual cooperation, respect for nature, and veneration of ancestors. Amid modernization, the Dayak Tomun community demonstrates creative adaptation through ritual reinterpretation, flexible application of pamali, and the integration of formal education with indigenous knowledge. This study affirms that the indigenous belief system of the Dayak Tomun functions as a strategic social, cultural, and ecological instrument in sustaining social cohesion, community resilience, and the continuity of collective identity in the face of contemporary social transformation.  

Cultural traditions play a vital role in sustainable tourism by shaping social values, collective identity, and long-term cultural continuity. Caos Dahar, a Javanese practice involving communal food preparation and sharing, serves as an expression of gratitude, spirituality, and social cohesion. Despite its cultural significance, it has been rarely examined from a management perspective, particularly in relation to its integration into sustainable tourism systems. This study analyzes Caos Dahar as a form of cultural tradition management and explores its contribution to sustainable tourism. The research highlights the lack of management-oriented studies combining cultural traditions with sustainability frameworks. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, using secondary qualitative data from documented practices and relevant academic literature. Data were analyzed using thematic categorization and interpreted through a multi-theoretical framework, including motivation theory (ERG), social network theory, and cultural philosophy. The findings reveal that Caos Dahar functions as a managed cultural practice, involving implicit management processes such as planning, coordination, and role distribution. The tradition fulfills existential, relational, and growth-oriented needs, sustains social networks, and exhibits adaptability across various cultural dimensions. These characteristics enable Caos Dahar to contribute to the social, economic, and cultural aspects of sustainability within tourism. The study concludes that cultural traditions can be viewed as intangible strategic resources when properly managed. This research expands management and tourism studies by offering a management-oriented interpretation of cultural traditions and moving beyond outcome-based sustainability perspectives toward process-oriented cultural tradition management.

Background: TikTok usage among adolescents is increasing and has the potential to impact psychological aspects, particularly self-esteem. Adolescents, who are in the stage of developing their identity, are vulnerable to the influence of interactions and social comparisons on social media. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between TikTok usage behavior and self-esteem levels in students at SMA Negeri 2 Semarang. Method: This study employed a descriptive correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 424 students from grade 11 at SMA Negeri 2 Semarang. Sampling was conducted using the Simple Random Sampling technique, resulting in a total sample of 206 respondents, determined by the Slovin formula. Bivariate analysis was carried out using the Spearman Rank Correlation test. Result: The results of the Spearman Rank statistical test showed a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.412 with a significance value of 0.000. The negative correlation indicates an inverse relationship between TikTok usage behavior and students’ self-esteem levels, meaning that the higher the intensity of TikTok use, the lower the self-esteem of the students. The correlation coefficient of 0.412 falls within the category of a moderate relationship. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between TikTok usage behavior and self-esteem levels among high school students.

Academic literacy is a crucial competence in Indonesian language learning as it supports the development of critical thinking, academic reading, and writing skills. However, Indonesian language instruction is often disconnected from students’ cultural backgrounds, resulting in less meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to describe the integration of Maumere local cultural texts in Indonesian language learning and to analyze their contribution to strengthening academic literacy based on local wisdom. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with lecturers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. The findings reveal that Maumere local cultural texts were integrated through the use of folktales, traditional expressions, and reflective as well as argumentative writing tasks. This integration contributed to the improvement of students’ critical reading skills, academic argumentation, and reflective literacy. Moreover, local cultural texts functioned as pedagogical capital that bridged students’ cultural experiences with academic language practices. The study concludes that integrating Maumere local cultural texts strengthens academic literacy while affirming students’ cultural identity. Therefore, Indonesian language learning should adopt a contextual approach grounded in local wisdom.

This study investigates the role of local language integration as a pedagogical strategy in strengthening academic literacy and shaping students’ identities in multilingual higher education contexts. The study is grounded in the sociolinguistic reality that many students continue to use local languages in their daily lives, while academic learning predominantly relies on formal Indonesian, which is often abstract and normative. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with lecturers and students, and document analysis. The findings reveal that local language integration functions as a cognitive, affective, and cultural bridge in academic learning. Local languages are employed as a medium for initial meaning-making, conceptual discussion, and cultural reflection before students develop ideas in academic Indonesian. This practice enhances student participation, strengthens academic literacy, and reinforces local identity within academic spaces. The study concludes that local languages are not obstacles but valuable pedagogical resources. Therefore, their integration should be systematically incorporated into higher education curricula to promote inclusive, contextual, and linguistically just learning environments.

Students in multilingual higher education contexts often face linguistic and identity challenges when engaging with formal and normative academic Indonesian. In such settings, translanguaging emerges as a natural and strategic practice that allows students to draw on their full linguistic repertoires, including local languages, to construct meaning and negotiate academic understanding. This study aims to examine students’ translanguaging practices and their contribution to the formation of academic identity in Indonesian language learning at the university level. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with students and lecturers, and document analysis of learning materials and students’ academic assignments. The findings reveal that translanguaging functions as both a cognitive and affective strategy that facilitates conceptual understanding, enhances participation, and strengthens students’ academic confidence. Moreover, translanguaging plays a crucial role in shaping an inclusive and hybrid academic identity, positioning local languages as legitimate pedagogical resources rather than obstacles. These findings highlight the need to recognize translanguaging within language policy and curriculum design to support equitable and context-sensitive academic learning in multilingual higher education.

This study aims to examine how the implementation of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) carried out by Friendshub contributes to building and strengthening brand awareness. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the core team of Friendshub and documentation of marketing activities, which were then thematically analyzed to explore communication patterns and creative strategies applied. The findings reveal that Friendshub integrates six elements of IMC as proposed by Belch and Belch (2021)—advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling, direct marketing, and digital/interactive marketing—implemented across various channels such as social media, WhatsApp, email blasts, and event organization that emphasizes direct experiential engagement. The success of this implementation is supported by close communication with clients, consistent visual identity, and the adaptability of messages to audience needs, while challenges include limited budgets, dependence on client briefs, and short execution timelines. These findings highlight that consistent, creative, and adaptive IMC practices are not only effective in enhancing brand awareness but also in strengthening long-term relationships between Friendshub as a brand and its audience, thereby contributing positively to the sustainability of its image and corporate growth.

This study examines the paradoxical phenomenon among adolescents who actively consume mental health content on digital platforms such as Instagram and TikTok but are reluctant to utilize freely available school counseling services. The research aims to identify specific forms of stigma that hinder adolescents from utilizing school counseling services and analyze them using Erving Goffman's stigma theory. The research method employs a qualitative approach with a library research design, analyzing various scientific literature published from 2013-2025 through content analysis techniques. The research findings reveal six main forms of stigma: perception of school counselors as school police, labeling as troubled students, sign of personal weakness, doubts about confidentiality, distrust in counselor competence, and traumatic experiences. The paradox occurs because digital platforms provide anonymity that protects adolescents' virtual social identity, while face-to-face counseling services are perceived as threatening their social identity. Research implications indicate the need for transformation of school counseling services that integrate digital strategies, ongoing campaigns to change negative perceptions, and enhancement of counselor competence in understanding adolescent digital culture to reduce stigma and improve adolescent access to professional mental health services.

This study analyzes the relationship between Christian faith and artificial intelligence (AI) through a theological-philosophical approach and assesses its relevance to the existence of the Catholic Church in the digital age. The background of this study stems from the rapid development of AI, which brings both opportunities and risks to the life of faith, such as the simplification of theological teachings, the reduction of personal relationships, and the emergence of a technocratic paradigm. The study uses qualitative methods with a literature review of the Holy Scriptures, Church documents, and literature on philosophy and technology ethics. The results of the analysis show that AI is a product of human creativity as the image of God, so it does not conflict with faith, but it remains instrumental and does not have moral or spiritual dimensions like humans. Therefore, AI cannot replace the role of humans in faith relationships. The Church is called to guide technological development through Christian ethical principles, upholding human dignity, being critical of the effects of dehumanization, and utilizing AI wisely for evangelization, catechesis, and faith education. With a reflective and critical approach, the Church can remain relevant amid technological advances without losing its identity and mission for the common good.  

Health behaviors among youth have undergone a significant transformation, shifting from nightlife culture and alcohol consumption toward healthy lifestyles such as community sports (running and padel). This phenomenon, known as the sober curious movement, is triggered by massive interactions in digital spaces. This study aims to analyze the role of social media as a catalyst in the transformation of the sober curious lifestyle and the increased participation of youth in healthy living through a literature review. This research employs a narrative literature review method. Literature searches were conducted through the Consensus database, Google Scholar, and Garuda, covering the period from 2021 to 2026. Data analysis was performed thematically on articles relevant to the digital health behavior of young adults. Findings indicate that social media acts as a primary catalyst through social norm engineering, whereby health is now viewed as a prestigious social status symbol. Digital platforms provide a space for the younger generation to normalise alcohol-free lifestyles, so that they are no longer considered unusual by their peers. The synergy between educational content and online communities accelerates the continuous internalisation of preventive values. Social media effectively shifts the health paradigm of the younger generation from a mere medical obligation to an aspirational digital identity. Public health practitioners need to optimize this digital potential as a proactive health promotion instrument to foster a fitter society in the future.
