However, some limitations arise related to bias in perception and interpretation of the results. In conclusion, siometry is still an effective tool for social mapping, with greater potential if integrated with modern technology.

This study aims to examine how the narrative of “lelaki tidak bercerita” is reproduced and internalized by young men through their personal experiences in family, friendship, and social media. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved four male students from Pendidikan Sosiologi, Universitas Negeri Jakarta as key informants. The findings show that hegemonic masculinity shapes men to suppress emotional expression from an early age, mainly through unspoken family norms and socially unsupportive relationships. While friendships and social media sometimes offer more fluid spaces, dominant narratives still restrict men’s vulnerability. Social media acts as a space for passive emotional validation, yet often reinforces old stereotypes. The impact of this construction is evident in hidden psychological burdens, emotional distraction, and indirect coping strategies. This study highlights the importance of creating inclusive and supportive social spaces where men can express emotions without stigma. By critically understanding the dynamics of hegemonic masculinity, society is encouraged to foster more empathetic and equitable social relations.

This study aims to analyze the operational conditions of the raw material warehouse at PT Nutrition And Special Foods Division and evaluate the potential implementation of an Internet of things (IoT)-based warehouse management system (WMS) to improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse management. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, including field observations and interviews with several operators and warehouse staff. The findings indicate that the currently used manual system causes various obstacles, such as input errors, slow picking processes, and limited stock tracking capabilities. A simulation of WMS implementation using RFID and barcode technology showed significant improvements, including approximately 40% increase in picking  efficiency, around 90% improvement in stock recording accuracy, and a reduction of input errors by up to 85%. The application of this technology also supports real-time tracking using FIFO/FEFO methods and enhances visibility and decision-making in logistics operations. Thus, the integration of RFID, barcode, and QR code in WMS proves effective in transforming warehouse management into a faster, more accurate, and responsive system aligned with supply chain dynamics.

The South China Sea (SCS) conflict is one of the most complex geopolitical disputes in the Southeast Asian region, involving not only claimant countries such as China, the Philippines, and Vietnam, but also impacting non-claimant countries such as Indonesia. Although Indonesia is not officially involved in the territorial claim dispute in the SCS, its geographical position close to the disputed area, especially around the Natuna Islands, places Indonesia in a strategic and vulnerable position. This journal discusses in depth Indonesia's position in the SCS conflict, highlighting how Indonesia maintains its territorial sovereignty without being directly involved in the conflict. In addition, the direct impact of the conflict on Indonesia's maritime security is also discussed, including increasing territorial violations, threats to local fishermen, and challenges in monitoring territorial waters. The conflict in the SCS also has an impact on regional stability and Indonesia's maritime economy, especially in the context of ASEAN cooperation and the world's maritime axis policy. Finally, this journal reviews various efforts made by Indonesia in maintaining its maritime security, such as strengthening diplomacy, modernizing defense equipment, and developing an integrated maritime policy. Through a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, this journal aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of the SCS conflict and its implications for Indonesia's maritime security.

Article 31 Paragraph 3 of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, which states that "the husband is the head of the family and the wife is a housewife," raises concerns regarding gender equality and contemporary social dynamics. This provision is considered to reflect a patriarchal legal construction that fails to respond to the evolving gender roles in modern society, where women also actively contribute as breadwinners and decision-makers within the family. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Article 31 Paragraph 3 through a normative, contextual, and inclusive juridical approach. The findings indicate that this provision has the potential to perpetuate gender discrimination and contradicts the principles of justice enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia as well as the CEDAW Convention, which has been ratified by Indonesia. Therefore, a reinterpretation of Article 31 Paragraph 3 is necessary to ensure it aligns with contemporary values of equality and current social realities. Reformulating this provision is essential to establish an inclusive and just family law system that keeps pace with societal developments.

Social media has become a significant element in shaping youth political identity in the digital age. This research aims to explore how symbolic interactions within online spaces influence the construction of political identity among young people. A case study approach was applied, utilizing documentation of academic literature published within the last decade. The analysis employed critical discourse analysis to understand the dynamics of power, symbols, and political representation on social media platforms. The findings reveal that young individuals actively construct their political identity through various digital content forms, such as memes, informative threads, and visual campaigns. Moreover, platform algorithms and online communities play a substantial role in directing political preferences and reinforcing ideological affiliations. The implications highlight the importance of digital literacy and inclusive participation spaces for youth, while also encouraging policy development based on evidence to support the democratization of digital arenas.

Wearing a hijab for Muslim women is not just a habit, but an obligation that has a deep meaning in religion and daily life. This tradition is not just owned by Muslims, in ancient times this tradition has been attached as a civilization, so it is important to explore this matter further. This article aims to trace the dynamics of the hijab from a historical perspective. With a qualitative descriptive approach, the study found that the history of wearing the hijab is much older than Islam. The use of the hijab has existed in various cultures and civilizations in the world, even before Islam was born, precisely since the Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia around 5,000 BC. The tradition of the hijab is also found in ancient Assyrian society. Wearing the hijab can be a symbol of honor and social status, especially for elite women or priestesses, a differentiator between free women and slaves, and part of a particular cultural tradition, as seen in various ancient civilizations. Thus, wearing the hijab is not only a practice related to Islam, but also a social phenomenon that has existed for a long time in the history of human civilization. This finding is important for the creation of a dignified society, amidst the fading awareness of wearing the hijab among Muslim teenagers. This research provides a direction for future research on the importance of the hijab for the honor of women more specifically.

Police patrols at the Polsek level have a strategic role in maintaining public security and order through the implementation of preventive and repressive functions. The preventive function aims to prevent crime, while the repressive function focuses on law enforcement against violations. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the repressive function in Polsek patrol activities as a response to the dynamics of law violations in its jurisdiction. The type of research used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that the effectiveness of repressive patrols is highly dependent on officer professionalism, technological support, and community synergy. In conclusion, the repressive function must be carried out proportionally, accountably, and humanistically. It is recommended that the police strengthen personnel capacity, evaluation systems, and data-based strategies to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement while building public trust in a sustainable manner.

This study aims to examine the dynamics of sea armed robbery in the Southeast Asian region and analyze regional efforts through various multilateral and bilateral cooperation mechanisms. The method used in this research is a qualitative study with a descriptive-analytical approach. There are countermeasures through forums such as the ASEAN Maritime Forum (AMF), ASEAN Coast Guard Forum (ACGF), and the ReCAAP agreement in reducing piracy incidents. However, these efforts still face challenges. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen institutional capacity, harmonize policies, and increase trust and collaboration between countries to form a regional maritime security system that is more resilient and adaptive to dynamic threats.

This study aims to examine the role of Batik Anjani as an agent of local cultural preservation in Malang City, with a focus on the concept of agency within Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory. In this framework, an agent is understood as a social subject capable of acting reflectively and transforming their social environment. Batik Anjani, as a local batik industry actor, demonstrates initiative and awareness in preserving traditional values through production practices, motif selection, the use of natural materials, and community empowerment activities. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this research analyzes how Batik Anjani actively makes decisions, formulates strategies, and constructs cultural meanings within the context of ever-changing socio-economic dynamics. The findings reveal that Batik Anjani does not merely fulfill an economic role but also acts as a cultural agent contributing to the sustainable preservation and reproduction of local cultural identity.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Domestic Investment (DI), and Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) on the growth of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in Bali Province. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary time series data on an quartal basis from 2015 to 2022, obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and other relevant institutions. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression with the assistance of EViews 9 software. The results show that, partially, FDI, DI, and LFPR have a positive and significant effect on GRDP growth in Bali Province. Simultaneously, the three variables also have a significant influence on GRDP. The Adjusted R-Squared value of 0.543 indicates that approximately 54.3% of the variation in GRDP can be explained by FDI, DI, and LFPR, while the remaining variation is influenced by other variables outside the model. However, the regression model experiences autocorrelation, indicating that there are time dynamics not fully captured by the model. This study highlights the importance of investment and the optimization of the labor force in supporting regional economic growth.

This study investigates doctor–patient communication strategies in overcoming verbal and non-verbal language barriers within the Pain Clinic of RSUD Genteng Banyuwangi, a public hospital in East Java, Indonesia. Pain clinics pose unique communicative challenges, as patients often struggle to express their discomfort clearly due to limited health literacy, cultural norms, or emotional inhibitions. This research aims to identify and analyze the communicative methods employed by doctors to facilitate accurate information exchange and build therapeutic rapport with patients experiencing chronic pain. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this study applies Conversation Analysis (CA) to naturally occurring doctor–patient consultations recorded through non-intrusive video methods. Verbal and non-verbal interactions were transcribed and analyzed to uncover recurring communicative patterns. The data were interpreted through sociolinguistic and pragmatic lenses to account for the local language diversity and cultural context of Banyuwangi. Findings reveal that doctors employ multiple strategies to clarify meaning and adapt communication: repetition, strategic questioning, utterance correction, and linguistic adaptation. Additionally, doctors interpret and respond to patients' non-verbal cues, including vocal tone, facial expressions, and body gestures, to supplement incomplete verbal communication. These strategies not only enhance diagnostic accuracy but also promote empathy, trust, and patient-centered care. The study concludes that effective communication in pain clinics must account for linguistic diversity, cultural sensitivities, and emotional dynamics. Adaptive and empathetic communication fosters better understanding, reduces the risk of diagnostic error, and improves treatment outcomes. The findings offer practical implications for clinical training and healthcare policy, particularly in multicultural and linguistically diverse settings.

The administration of government in a country is not only found in the center of government. The central government gives authority to regional governments to carry out their own government. Various dynamics in changes in regional government policy range from centralized to decentralize. In carrying out his duties, a people's representative must know what the constituents he represents want. There are many ways that people's representatives must do to find out what the people want. One way is to communicate between the two. Communicating with constituents is a mandatory thing that cannot be done by people's representatives. The people have the right to convey what they want to the people's representatives to fight for in a public policy. One form of communication between people's representatives and those represented is through DPRD recess activities. The research was carried out to analyze the effectiveness of the recess in the Badung Regency DPRD which was analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The implementation of a recess for members of the Badung Regency DPRD is a mandatory matter which has been regulated in statutory regulations and regional regulations. It is not technically regulated; it only regulates the period and limits of the recess and the recess is held three times a year. The recess activities are carried out in various ways. However, in its implementation, several technical activities are regulated in the recess activities, namely the time of the activity, place, activity targets, discussion process, accommodating community aspirations and even written and verbal reporting of recess results. Observation results show that Badung DPRD members have engaged effectively with their constituents during the recess period, gathering important input and concerns that are crucial for formulating local government policies. This interaction underscores the importance of active participation and accountability in ensuring that the legislative process is aligned with the needs and aspirations of the community.

This study discusses Indonesia's security diplomacy strategy within the ASEAN framework and its contribution to international security stability. A literature study approach is used to examine the dynamics of Indonesia's diplomacy in regional forums such as the ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting (ADMM), ADMM-Plus, and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). Indonesia, as a country with a strategic geographical and political position, plays an important role in promoting collective security based on cooperation and dialogue. However, the implementation of this diplomacy is faced with various challenges, including great power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific, capability gaps between ASEAN member countries, and the complexity of non-traditional threats such as cybersecurity and transnational terrorism. This study shows that although ASEAN has a regional security mechanism, its effectiveness still depends on the consistent leadership of key countries such as Indonesia in promoting an adaptive, inclusive, and consensus-based approach. The results of the analysis indicate that Indonesia's security diplomacy has the potential to strengthen ASEAN's legitimacy at the international level, as long as it is able to overcome internal limitations and synergize with global interests.

The development of digital technology has a major impact on the dynamics of national security, especially more complex cyber threats. The purpose of this study is to analyze Indonesian diplomacy in combating digital threats as part of efforts to strengthen non-military defense systems. The method used is a qualitative approach through literature research from various literary sources, reports, and secondary data. The results of the study show that while Indonesia is exposed to increasing cyber attacks, regulations on digital safety infrastructure and regulations are still weak compared to other ASEAN countries. The conclusion of this study is the importance of strategic and sustainable digital diplomacy, not just technically. The novelty of this study lies in cybersecurity threats as an analytical tool to assess the integration of digital diplomatic indicators, sensitivity to the system, and the effectiveness of Indonesian diplomacy in the growth of global cybersecurity.

The phenomenon of buzzers in digital advertising has become a critical concern in contemporary communication dynamics, due to their role in spreading covert messages for commercial and political purposes. This study aims to analyze the persuasive strategies and communication tactics of buzzers, algorithmic amplification patterns, and audience perceptions toward the disseminated content. Using a qualitative method through a systematic literature review, the study identifies three dominant buzzer strategies: native advertising, pseudo-influencer testimonials, and clickbait-based disinformation. These are often amplified through algorithmic tactics such as bot networks, trending hashtags, and endorsements by constructed influencer personas. Findings show that buzzer content is effective when perceived as authentic and emotionally engaging, but tends to generate resistance once users detect manipulation. The study’s implications highlight the need for greater transparency in digital communication, regulation of sponsored content, and improved media literacy to mitigate disinformation and public distrust. The research also emphasizes the importance of ethical approaches in digital communication practices to safeguard democratic integrity and sustainable brand–public relationships.
