This study aims to examine the types of illocutionary speech acts contained in the movie Cinta dalam Ikhlas by Fajar Bustomi through a pragmatic approach. Film as a visual-audio fiction media presents interactions between characters that reflect the reality of communication in social life. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data sources in the form of dialog transcripts in the film. The data collection technique is done through documentation, while the data analysis uses the theory of illocutionary speech acts from John Searle which categorizes speech acts into five types: assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The results showed that there were 27 data of illocutionary speech acts consisting of 6 assertive, 7 directive, 6 commissive, 5 expressive, and 3 declarative. The findings show that dialog in the film does not only function as a narrative conveyor, but also as a representation of psychological expression, social commitment, and moral and spiritual messages. This research is expected to contribute to the development of pragmatics studies, especially discourse analysis in popular media.

The advancement of information and communication technology in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has given rise to various digital innovations, one of which is deepfake technology that utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to manipulate audio-visual content convincingly. Although it has positive potentials in entertainment and education, the misuse of deepfake on social media has caused various legal and ethical issues, such as the spread of hoaxes, defamation, privacy violations, and non-consensual pornography. This study aims to analyze the use of deepfake from the perspective of Indonesian law, particularly through Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and its amendments. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature study methods, this research examines the technical aspects of deepfake development, the relevance of ITE Law articles in regulating manipulative content, and the challenges of law enforcement amid low digital literacy in society. The findings show that although there are no explicit provisions concerning deepfake in the ITE Law, several articles can serve as a legal basis to prosecute offenders, albeit with interpretative and technical implementation challenges. Therefore, regulatory updates and improvements in digital literacy are necessary to prevent and effectively handle the misuse of deepfake technology.

 In political contests, campaign visuals play a significant role in shaping public perceptions of candidates. Campaign advertisements often do not only convey messages explicitly, but also embed symbolic meanings through visual and audio elements. The problem addressed in this study lies in how visual propaganda is strategically employed in the Prabowo-Gibran campaign advertisement titled Generasi Sehat Indonesia Maju to construct a positive image of the candidate pair through the representation of children and symbols of health. This study aims to examine the use of visual and audio elements in building a political narrative that appeals to both emotional and symbolic aspects. Using a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, the research explores visual representations of healthy and joyful children, the symbolism of milk as a health icon, and the portrayal of the main figures as close to family values. The findings indicate that the visual propaganda in this advertisement effectively communicates the campaign's message by establishing a positive association with the candidates through elements of togetherness, concern for children's nutrition, and hope for a better future. In conclusion, the advertisement utilizes visual propaganda to foster the perception that the Prabowo-Gibran pair are leaders who genuinely care about the younger generation and the well-being of Indonesian families.

The incidence of hypertension at the Tadoy Community Health Center was 29.4%. Based on the Tadoy Community Health Center Report in 2023, there were 78 cases of hypertension in pregnant women, dominated by pregnant women with HDK (50%). The short-term impact of hypertension during pregnancy can affect both the mother and the fetus. In addition to medication, therapy for pregnant women with hypertension can be given by soaking the feet in warm water and regularly consuming Ambon bananas. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of warm water therapy and Ambon banana consumption on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. This type of research used a qualitative research method with a case study approach. This activity was carried out on two pregnant women with hypertension at the Tadoy Community Health Center. Providing warm water therapy was effective in reducing blood pressure in pregnant women from 150/90 mmHg at the first visit to 130/85 mmHg at the second visit and to 120/75 mmHg. Consuming bananas was also effective in reducing blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg at the first visit to 140/90 mmHg at the second visit and to 120/80 mmHg. There was a difference in effectiveness between warm water therapy and consuming Ambon bananas in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive pregnant women, where warm water therapy was more effective than Ambon bananas in lowering blood pressure. It is hoped that the results of this study can help lower blood pressure by soaking feet in warm water, so that pregnant women can do it independently and can reduce risks in pregnancy.

In advertising, females are frequently positioned as the center of attention to establish product image through culturally recognized signs and symbols. Advertisements transcend their promotional function, acting as media that both reflect and influence societal perceptions, including gender roles within daily life. This is exemplified in the Vicks VapoRub advertisement titled "Mother's Amazing Hands," which portrays women as mothers perpetually prepared to care for their families. This study investigates the representation of the mother's role within the aforementioned advertisement using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The research aims to twofold: 1) identify the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings embedded within the Vicks VapoRub "Mother's Amazing Hands" ad; and 2) analyze the portrayal of the mother figure through the lens of Barthes' semiotic framework. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing Barthes' semiotic analysis method alongside concepts of social construction of reality, cinematography techniques, and the societal role of mothers. Through the analysis of verbal, non-verbal, audio, and visual elements within the advertisement, the study revealed the multifaceted representation of the mother's role. This includes functions of caregiving, nurturing, and treatment of family members, ultimately portraying the tangible actions a mother takes in providing for her family.

Postpartum mothers’ understanding of the benefits of vitamin A plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of postpartum vitamin A supplementation programs. Vitamin A contributes to maternal immune function, supports visual health, and enhances the vitamin A content of breast milk, which is essential for infant health. Despite its importance, mothers’ knowledge regarding the benefits of vitamin A during the postpartum period remains inconsistent, indicating the need for more effective health education strategies. One approach that has the potential to improve comprehension among postpartum mothers is the use of audiovisual educational media. This study aimed to examine the effect of audiovisual media on postpartum mothers’ knowledge of the benefits of vitamin A at Ome Inpatient Primary Health Center. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the audiovisual education intervention. Data analysis included univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the paired t-test. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in postpartum mothers’ knowledge following the audiovisual intervention. Mean knowledge scores increased markedly, accompanied by a shift in knowledge levels from poor and moderate categories to good. Statistical testing confirmed a significant difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention knowledge scores. In conclusion, audiovisual media have a significant positive effect on improving postpartum mothers’ knowledge of the benefits of vitamin A. This educational approach can be considered an effective and practical method for postpartum health education in primary healthcare settings.
