Pre-production photography is a comprehensive stage of preparation and planning before the production and post-production stages. This stage includes determining ideas, visual concepts, technical planning, location selection, and budget and schedule management. This stage is crucial to ensure the smooth running and success of production by minimising problems during shooting. Conceptual photography is photography with a design that carries a specific concept. This type of photography is included in fine art photography, which focuses on conveying ideas and abstract feelings through images. The resulting photographs prioritise the idea behind the work and often use imagination. The pre-production stage of the conceptual photography ‘Mother's Hands’ depicts mothers as loving and strong figures who maintain their identity as women with traditional Javanese nuances. This work conveys a message about the balance between domestic roles and self-esteem and reflects cultural values. The balance between the roles of woman and mother is the concept. The mother is the bearer of household responsibilities and an educator, while also being a woman who maintains her dignity and appearance with grace as a form of self-respect. Visually, this photographic work presents a Javanese mother who is a housewife and her accomplished daughter, who is the result of her mother's upbringing. The photoshoot took place indoors, with gebyok accents and other supporting props in line with the concept. The final result of the conceptual photography ‘Tangan Ibu’ is a photo that combines aesthetic and narrative elements through a meaningful visual presentation. This work provides an experience that is not only visually appealing but also invites emotional engagement from the audience. It can also serve as a reference for photography.

This study examines the reception of Riau University students regarding sharing culture with the "first person challenge" in @Iben M.A TikTok content. Using Stuart Hall's reception analysis approach with qualitative methodology, this research involved interviews with ten students from diverse faculties. The findings reveal three distinct reception positions: dominant (three informants who fully accept the content as positive sharing culture), negotiated (five informants who accept with reservations about public display of charity), and oppositional (two informants who reject the content as exploitation or virtue signaling). Reception differences were influenced by economic background, religion, parental upbringing, education, interests, and habits. Despite varying interpretations, most informants recognized the content's positive impact while expressing concerns about maintaining the essence of sharing culture in digital media representation..

.The process of independence in early childhood is crucial for their development, especially in Kindergarten (TK) environments. However, the phenomenon of sibling rivalry often affects this development. This study aims to examine the relationship between sibling rivalry and independence development in early childhood at TK Islam Sultan Agung 4 Semarang. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, and a sample was taken using total sampling techniques involving 74 respondents. Instruments were used to measure sibling rivalry and independence development. Data analysis was performed through univariate and bivariate analysis with Somers' d test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were male (42 people) and most were 5 years old. In addition, 61 respondents experienced high levels of sibling rivalry, while 44 respondents showed low levels of independence. Bivariate testing produced a ρ-Value of 0.413, indicating no significant relationship between sibling rivalry and independence development, with an r-value of -0.119 indicating a very weak relationship. These findings indicate that other factors, such as limited sampling, parental upbringing patterns, socio-economic conditions, and environmental influences, may also influence the results. Therefore, further research with a larger sample and considering external factors is recommended to obtain more comprehensive results.
