Employee work discipline is one of the important aspects of human resource management, especially in service companies that heavily rely on their employees' performance. PT CAI, as an event organizer company, still faces issues related to employee work discipline, such as tardiness, absenteeism without notice, and low consistency in completing work responsibilities. This activity is a form of Community Service by students aimed at increasing employees' understanding and awareness of the importance of work discipline through educational and practical approaches. The implementation methods of the activity include observation, interviews, discussions, documentation, and the implementation of an educational program in the form of work discipline posters as well as providing recommendations for a simple reward and punishment system. The results of the activity show that internal educational media serve as an effective visual reminder in increasing employee awareness of punctuality and work responsibility. This community service activity is expected to support the improvement of employee performance, service quality, and the operational sustainability of PT CAI.

This community service research was conducted to examine the implementation of branding development through a Car Free Day event as a strategy to enhance communication and visual identity at Telaga Harmony Residence.

This study aims to describe the use of existential presupposition in the comment section of the Instagram account @jakarta.keras on a post concerning the corruption case of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga dated February 25, 2025. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach from a pragmatic perspective. The data consist of utterances in the comment section that contain assumptions regarding the existence of particular entities. Data were collected using the observational method with the non-participatory observation technique, while data analysis was conducted using the pragmatic equivalent method through the Determining Element Sorting (Pilah Unsur Penentu/PUP) technique. The results indicate that existential presuppositions appear in various forms, which are classified into four categories: individual-based, group-based, social status–based, and ownership-relation–based existential presuppositions. These presuppositions are constructed through the use of definite noun phrases, proper names, plural forms, social status markers, and possessive markers. The findings demonstrate that Instagram comment sections function not only as a medium for expressing opinions but also as a space for constructing assumptions about the existence, identity, and social relations of actors involved in an event.

The incidence of hypertension at the Tadoy Community Health Center reached 29.4%, with 78 cases reported among pregnant women in 2023, half of which were pregnancy-induced hypertension (HDK). Hypertension during pregnancy poses short-term risks to both mother and fetus. In addition to pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological therapies such as warm water foot soaking and Ambon banana consumption are considered beneficial. This study aimed to examine the effects of these two interventions on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach involving two pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension. The results showed that warm water foot soaking significantly reduced blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg at the first visit to 130/85 mmHg at the second visit, and further to 120/75 mmHg. Similarly, Ambon banana consumption reduced blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg, and eventually to 120/80 mmHg. Although both interventions were effective, warm water therapy demonstrated greater effectiveness in lowering blood pressure compared to banana consumption. These findings suggest that simple, non-pharmacological interventions can help manage hypertension in pregnancy. It is recommended that pregnant women apply warm water foot soaking independently to help control blood pressure and reduce pregnancy-related risks.

This study aims to examine the shift of utterances from criticism to hate speech in digital communication related to the Iran-United States-Israel conflict in 2026 on social media. The study focuses on the transformation of the functions and meanings of users’ comments, which initially appear as opinions or criticism but gradually evolve into expressions that contain elements of hate speech. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, using a pragmalinguistic approach to interpret the meanings of utterances based on linguistic context, speaker intention, and surrounding social circumstances. The data were obtained from users’ comments on posts shared on Instagram and TikTok through observation and documentation. The collected data were then analyzed by classifying utterances into several categories, including criticism, emotional criticism, offensive speech, personal attack, and hate speech. The findings reveal that the transformation of utterances into hate speech occurs gradually rather than instantly. Initially, evaluative criticism tends to shift due to the increasing use of emotional, sarcastic, and derogatory language, eventually developing into personal attacks, negative labeling, and even dehumanization toward certain groups. These findings indicate that social media may amplify the emergence of hate speech by providing users with broader opportunities to express emotions freely. Therefore, the pragmasemantic approach is considered relevant in understanding the dynamics of meaning transformation in digital communication.

This study is based on the fact that history learning in secondary schools is still dominated by a memorization-based approach, which does not fully encourage deep understanding or interest in learning among students, while the characteristics of the digital generation demand more interactive, visual, and participatory strategies. This study aims to examine the urgency of utilizing interactive media in history learning, identify relevant forms of media, and explain their implications for the quality of the learning process and outcomes. The method used is a literature study examining various recent studies on the use of interactive multimedia, digital e-books, historical videos and simulations, and educational games in history learning. The results of the study show that the use of interactive media contributes to increasing interest and motivation in learning, strengthening understanding of concepts and the chronology of events, and developing students' critical and historical thinking skills, while encouraging a shift in the role of teachers to become facilitators and innovators of learning. Therefore, its integration needs to be designed in a targeted and contextual manner to be in line with the characteristics of students and the demands of 21st-century learning.

The phenomenon of the increase in virtual events after the Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged companies to use them as a communication strategy to strengthen their image in the digital era. Ekrutes.Id, as a technology-based recruitment platform, has taken advantage of this momentum by organizing the Ekrutalks virtual event, which is designed to introduce its services and build the image of a company based on a smart system. This research aims to describe the management of the Ekrutalks virtual event organized by Ekrutes.Id and analyze its role in building the company's image. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using Saiddel's interactive model, which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon being studied. The results of the study indicate that Ekrutalks management runs in accordance with Goldblatt's five stages, namely research, design, planning, coordination, and evaluation. The research stage serves to identify audience needs, while design and planning emphasize creativity in selecting themes, speakers, and digital platforms. Meanwhile, coordination and evaluation are carried out in a structured manner to ensure the sustainability of the event. Through systematic implementation, Ekrutalks is able to build the image of Ekrutes.Id as a professional, adaptive, and technology-based recruitment platform. Thus, virtual events not only serve as a means of communication, but also become an effective strategy in shaping the company's image in the digital era.

Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in resource-limited settings and among elderly populations, where timely diagnosis and continuous monitoring are often constrained by limited clinical infrastructure. This study presents an edge–cloud–integrated framework for early pneumonia risk monitoring, leveraging multimodal wearable sensors and deep learning to support continuous short-duration monitoring. The proposed system is designed to operate in near real time under simulated deployment conditions, continuously acquiring and analyzing physiological signals (respiratory rate, heart rate, SpO₂, and body temperature) alongside event-driven acoustic biomarkers (cough sounds) within a distributed architecture. A lightweight edge module performs local signal preprocessing and anomaly triage, selectively transmitting salient information to a cloud-based multimodal deep learning model for refined risk estimation and interpretability analysis. The framework was evaluated using a multi-source dataset comprising public repositories (MIMIC-III and Coswara) and a clinically supervised wearable study conducted in two Nigerian hospitals, resulting in 718  hours of quality-controlled multimodal monitoring data. In a pooled multi-source evaluation, the system achieved an AUC of 0.95, while in a clinically realistic local-only evaluation, the AUC was 0.86, reflecting a consistent but preliminary diagnostic signal. These results highlight the importance of local data adaptation for real-world applicability and suggest that multimodal AI can provide meaningful early risk indicators under resource constraints. Beyond predictive performance, this work demonstrates the feasibility of integrating multimodal learning, edge–cloud computation, and explainable analytics into a deployment-aware, privacy-preserving monitoring framework for low-resource healthcare environments.

MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) is a sub-sector with high economic value and a unique capacity to play a diplomatic role through interaction between international actors. At the regional level, the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit (Summit) has been used by Indonesia not only for economic purposes, but also as an arena for public diplomacy and soft power development. This article examines how the ASEAN Summit (especially the series of ASEAN 2023 activities spread across several locations including Labuan Bajo, Yogyakarta, and Jakarta) shows the function of MICE as a soft power instrument in Indonesian tourism diplomacy. By combining a literature review on soft power and tourism diplomacy, an analysis of official documents, MICE industry reports, and a case study of the 2023 ASEAN Summit, this paper identifies the mechanisms of influence, determinants of effectiveness, economic and reputational impact, and policy challenges. The results show that the ASEAN Summit provides a great opportunity for nation branding and international public engagement, but its effectiveness depends on policy synergy, MICE infrastructure readiness, image management, and post-event strategies to turn temporary exposure into long-term benefits.

Coordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that function to connect two language units that have the same or equal status, while subordinating conjunctions are conjunctions that connect two language units that do not have the same or equal status. News text is a text that contains information about factual and actual events that are still hotly discussed by the public. This study aims to analyze the use of coordinating and subordinating conjunctions in news articles published by Kompas in September 2025. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method, with observation and note taking techniques applied to analyze conjunctions based on their types and functions. The results show that coordinating conjunctions such as (and, or, but, however) and subordinating conjunctions such as (because, so that, after, until, if) are used to construct coherent, logical, and easily understood sentences. The appropriate use of conjunctions supports the effective delivery of information and enhances the reader's comprehension of the news content. This research is expected to serve as a reference for readers or future researchers who wish to examine linguistic phenomena in online news texts using a similar approach.

This study aims to analyze the use of digital media in the form of infographics to improve student learning outcomes in history lessons, specifically regarding the events of the national movement in the 11th grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 07 Serbelawan in the 2024/2025 academic year. Along with technological advancements, the use of digital media is becoming increasingly popular in education as an alternative to improve student understanding and learning interest. One form of digital media used is infographics, which can simplify complex information into easier-to-understand information through engaging visual elements. The research method used was classroom action research (CAR), implemented in two cycles, with the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 30 11th grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 07 Serbelawan. Data collection techniques were conducted through tests, observations, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the use of infographics in history lessons can improve student understanding and learning interest. Improved student learning outcomes were evident in improved test scores after the use of infographics, as well as increased student active participation in class discussions. Furthermore, students also responded positively to the use of this digital media because infographics presented information in a more engaging and easy-to-understand manner. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of digital media in the form of infographics can be effective in improving students' history learning outcomes, particularly in understanding the material on the national movement. Therefore, it is recommended that history teachers consider using infographics in their lessons to improve the quality of teaching and student learning outcomes.

A traffic accident is a social risk event that causes serious losses, either in the form of injury, loss of property, or death of a family member. The State provides protection through the Road Traffic Accident Fund as stipulated in Law Number 34 of 1964 and Government Regulation Number 18 of 1965. However, in practice, the regulation of the status of victims and the coverage of the heirs of the beneficiaries still raises juridical and social problems because they do not fully reflect substantive justice. This study aims to analyze the concept of victims and heirs in the applicable Road Traffic Accident Fund regulations, as well as formulate a more equitable reconstruction of the regulation. This research is normative legal research with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. Analysis is carried out on positive legal norms and social realities that develop in society. The results of the study show that the definition of victim and the limitation of the coverage of heirs in the current positive law are narrow and administrative, so they are less responsive to the complexity of social relations and the economic dependence of the families of traffic accident victims. The mismatch between normative boundaries and social realities has implications for the non-achievement of the goals of social protection and substantive justice. Therefore, this study offers a reconstruction of the interpretation of the concept of victims and an expansion of the coverage of heirs that is more responsive, inclusive, and oriented towards social protection.

Semarang City is an urban area with a high vulnerability to flooding. Based on data from the Semarang City Regional Disaster Management Agency, in 2022 there were 133 flood events with extreme rainfall reaching 200 mm per day. Kota Lama Semarang is a historical tourist destination with high heritage value, but this area often faces flooding challenges, especially around the Tawang Polder Area with inundation reaching 30-100 cm. This condition is triggered by an existing drainage system that is not optimal due to limited channel capacity and blockages caused by sedimentation. The purpose of this study is to develop the SEMAR-SUDs smart drainage system innovation. The writing method was carried out through literature studies, hydrometeorological data reviews, and descriptive-quantitative analyses, which formed the basis for the design and implementation of the innovation. SEMAR-SUDs (Semarang-Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) concept is an integrative solution that combines three main elements Debris Separate Baffle Boxes (DSBB) as a technology for separating waste and sediment, ArborFlow technology based on ecodrainage that optimizes rainwater retention and distribution and Self Closing Flood Barriers that work automatically to protect critical areas. The implementation of SEMAR-SUDs can be a solution model in increasing flood disaster resilience in the city of Semarang while supporting the realization of SDGs 9 (sustainable infrastructure development), SDGs 11 (resilient and sustainable cities), and SDGs 13 (climate action). The SEMAR-SUDs innovation is highly suitable for implementation in Semarang City to mitigate flooding and realize a smart, adaptive, and sustainable drainage system infrastructure.

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.

Losing a father, whether through death or divorce, is a significant life event that can impact adolescents' psychological well-being, one of which is feelings of loneliness. Fathers play a crucial role in a child's emotional and social development, and their absence can trigger feelings of isolation or a lack of social connection. This study aims to determine whether there are differences in levels of loneliness between male and female adolescents who have lost their fathers. This study used a quantitative approach with a comparative method. The subjects in this study were 152 adolescents, consisting of 96 female adolescents and 56 male adolescents who had lost their fathers. Data were collected using a loneliness scale structured according to aspects of loneliness. The data analysis technique used to test the hypothesis was an Independent Sample T-Test. The results of the data analysis showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.105 (p > 0.05). This indicates that the hypothesis stating differences in levels of loneliness is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that there are no significant differences in loneliness experienced by male and female adolescents who have lost their fathers. Both gender groups showed relatively similar levels of loneliness in response to the loss of a father.   The results of the data analysis showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.105 (p > 0.05).

Elsheskin is a local skincare brand from Yogyakarta, which is under the auspices of PT Elshe Estetika Nusantara. In October 2024, it was circulated that Elsheskin had overclaimed the content of skincare products, because the retinol content in Elsheskin's retinol rejuvenating night serum product was proven to be inconsistent with laboratory test results. This overclaim case has damaged Elsheskin's image. The purpose of this study is to measure Elsheskin's crisis communication in dealing with the case of overclaiming the content of skincare products, Elsheskin's image after conducting crisis communication and how much influence the crisis communication of the case of overclaiming the content of skincare products has on Elsheskin's image. The theory used is the crisis communication theory (Coombs, 2019) which consists of the pre-crisis stage, the crisis event stage and the post-crisis stage. This study also uses the Image theory (Boulding, 2007) which consists of knowledge, feelings, values ​​and beliefs. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a survey method and a simple random sampling technique by distributing paper questionnaires to 80 respondents selected according to the characteristics of the study. From the results of calculations and data processing using the SPSS 25 application, namely: a) Elsheskin has carried out crisis communication well in accordance with crisis communication theory. b) Elsheskin has succeeded in restoring its image due to the overclaim case. c) There is an influence of crisis communication in the case of overclaiming skincare product content on Elsheskin's image of 59.2%.

The development of esport has expanded beyond the entertainment industry and has increasingly become a strategic instrument in international relations, particularly in the practice of public diplomacy. Indonesia’s role as the host of the M4 World Championship 2023 represents a significant example of how esport events can be utilized to engage international audiences and project national roles. This study aims to analyze how Indonesia employed the M4 World Championship 2023 as a tool of public diplomacy. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected from secondary sources through documentation and literature review, including official government publications, organizer reports, media coverage, and academic literature. The analytical framework is based on Nicholas J. Cull’s theory of public diplomacy, with a specific focus on the advocacy function and the cultural function. The findings indicate that the Indonesian government, in collaboration with non-state actors such as PBESI, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, and Moonton Games, strategically utilized the M4 World Championship as a platform to advocate Indonesia’s role in the global esports ecosystem and to promote Indonesian cultural elements to international audiences. The integration of cultural diplomacy elements in official events and promotional materials reflects the implementation of the cultural diplomacy function, while institutional narratives and policy support reflect the advocacy function. This study concludes that esport  events such as the M4 World Championship can function as an effective instrument of public diplomacy in enhancing Indonesia’s international engagement and visibility.

The concept of force majeure is essential in business agreements in Indonesia, as it regulates the release of contractual obligations that cannot be fulfilled due to events beyond their control such as natural disasters, pandemics, conflicts, or government policies. This study examines force majeure clauses in business agreements in Indonesia from a normative juridical perspective, focusing on the legal framework, its application practices, and its legal implications for contractual certainty. Using normative juridical qualitative methods, data were analyzed from the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) Articles 1244–1245 and 1444–1445, legal doctrine, and literature. The results of the study underlined that the force majeure clause has a strong legal basis in the Civil Code, which exempts the affected party from the obligation of compensation if the failure to perform the obligation is caused by events beyond his control. The application of this clause in the contract allows for the revision, postponement, or termination of a temporary contract, thereby guaranteeing legal certainty and protecting the principles of good faith and contractual fairness. In addition, the formulation of detailed clauses in the contract is crucial to prevent potential legal disputes down the road and ensure fair protection for all parties involved in the business agreement.

Mopotilro Dance is a traditional dance originating from South Bolaang Mongondow Regency that functions as a welcoming dance for guests in customary ceremonies. Academically, this dance has not yet been examined in depth. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the Mopotilro Dance from the perspective of its performance structure, particularly as presented at the anniversary celebration of the Persatuan Relawan Muda Molibagu (PEREDAM) community. The research focuses on several aspects of the dance presentation, including: (1) movement, (2) number of dancers, (3) makeup and costume, (4) musical accompaniment, (5) floor patterns, (6) properties used, and (7) performance space. This study employs a qualitative research method with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation, which are used to describe the data and draw conclusions. The results indicate that the presentation of the Mopotilro Dance at the PEREDAM anniversary event is not found in other occasions. This condition suggests that public understanding of the Mopotilro Dance as part of local cultural heritage remains limited. The lack of academic studies on the performance structure of the Mopotilro Dance is one of the factors contributing to its rare appearance in various events.

Historical video games are one of the entertainment screen media genres that represent actual historical events influencing the players to learn interactively. Moreover, in an era where technology is increasingly advanced the presence of pop culture that is included in history-based games leads people to get interested more in things that were initially boring to follow. “Sengoku BASARA” (戦国BASARA) is a successful action game featuring a main character based on Japanese feudal warlords wrapped in fictional and dramatic form published by CAPCOM which is very popular in Japan. Yet, Indonesia hasn’t developed a game based on the history of their ancient kingdom with good qualities to bring their interest to learning. The research methodology in this study using a qualitative approach includes content analysis using the 5 W 1 H technique to explore how the historical events and characters in the game are visualized and how it brings or gives the player an understanding of the history. This study aims to delve into two main points: 1. Understanding how “Sengoku BASARA” adapts the elements of their history, 2. The potential of this game as an educational tool is to introduce the historical characters as well as their story events. In conclusion, “Sengoku BASARA” does not have perfect accuracy in visualizing the original history yet it can be the first step to learning more about history interestingly and entertainingly.
