This research is driven by the significance of examining language meaning, particularly connotative meaning which is often used to convey implicit messages in literary works. Folktales, as one type of oral literature, often utilize character names that carry specific meanings, such as Malin Kundang from Minangkabau. The aim of this research is to uncover the connotative meaning of the character name “Malin Kundang”, as well as its relationship with the moral and cultural values of the society. The methodology involves qualitative research using semantic analysis and a descriptive approach. Data were collected from the Malin Kundang folktale text thru library study and documentation techniques. Next, the processes of identification, classification, and interpretation of meaning were done in order to examine the data. The research result show that denotatively, the name Malin Kundang only functions as the identity of the character, but connotatively, it functions as a symbol of a disobedient child who does not respect their parents. The meaning is formed from the plot of the story and reinforced by the Minangkabau cultural values that uphold respect for parents. The implications of this research indicate that the naming of characters in folklore is not only linguistic but also reflects the moral and cultural values inherited by society.

The practice of naming rights through trademark licensing agreements on public facilities has become a common commercialisation strategy in Indonesia. However, when the object of naming rights is a public facility with cultural heritage status, legal uncertainty arises due to the absence of specific regulations governing the intersection between Law No. 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications and Law No. 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage. The objective of this study is to analyse the regulation of naming rights on public facilities with cultural heritage status and to identify any differences in the application of trademark law in the cases of Semarang Tawang Station and Cirebon Kejaksan Station. The study employs a normative juridical method, utilising secondary data collection techniques and is supported by tertiary legal materials, employing a legislative, analytical and comparative approach. The results of the study indicate a discrepancy in the regulatory framework for naming rights concerning cultural heritage, leading to legal ambiguity due to inconsistent implementation. This is exemplified by the contrasting outcomes at Semarang Tawang Station, where the naming rights agreement with Bank Jateng was successfully executed, and at Cirebon Kejaksan Station, where the agreement was terminated despite both stations possessing cultural heritage status. The study recommends the introduction of comprehensive special regulations to harmonise the protection of exclusive trademark rights with the preservation of the identity and historical value of cultural heritage sites.  

This study investigates the influence of coffee brewing device branding on the sensory perception of coffee flavor at TEFA Javanica, Politeknik Negeri Banyuwangi. Focusing on three V60 dripper brands—Hario (Japanese brand), Indotara (local generic brand), and One Two Cup (local brand with English naming)—the research employs an experimental quantitative approach combining blind and branded taste tests. The blind test eliminates brand influence, allowing assessment of the inherent coffee taste, while the branded test examines how brand expectations affect flavor experience and consumer perception. Sensory evaluation follows the Specialty Coffee Association's standardized cupping protocol, assessing aroma, taste, aftertaste, balance, and overall impression. Data from 45 purposively selected experienced coffee tasters were analyzed using the McNemar test to statistically compare preferences between blind and branded conditions. Results show significant brand effects on consumer perception for two of the three brands tested, highlighting branding’s role in shaping sensory experience. These findings offer valuable insights for coffee producers and marketers to optimize brewing device selection and branding strategies, enhancing customer satisfaction and competitive positioning. Academically, the study enriches literature on sensory branding in coffee, emphasizing the importance of equipment branding in specialty coffee markets. This research also lays groundwork for future studies exploring marketing and consumer psychology aspects within the specialty coffee industry.

This study aims to examine the kinship between the Sabu, Sumba, and Rote languages, which are regional languages spoken in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Geographically, these three languages are spoken in different areas, originating from three distinct islands, with each having its own unique linguistic characteristics. Based on linguistic classification, the Rote and Sabu languages belong to the Ambon–Timor subgroup, while the Sumba language is classified under the Bima–Sumbawa subgroup. Despite these differences, there are noticeable signs of linguistic kinship, including cultural elements such as similarities in the clan naming system, which suggests a potential historical connection among these languages. To investigate this further, the research gathered data from native speakers of the three languages, who provided verbal samples that were transcribed phonetically. Lexicostatistics was then applied to analyze the vocabulary and determine the percentage of kinship between the languages. This method involves comparing common words in each language and quantifying the level of similarity. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a clearer understanding of the linguistic relationships between Sabu, Sumba, and Rote. The results will offer insights into whether these languages share a common ancestral root or if their similarities are due to cultural exchange and contact over time. This research also aims to highlight the importance of preserving these regional languages, as understanding their kinship could play a role in the revitalization of linguistic heritage in East Nusa Tenggara. The study's results are anticipated to enrich the field of comparative linguistics, particularly in relation to the Austronesian language family, and provide valuable information for future studies on language development in Indonesia.

The declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that he is willing to reduce the rising expenses of managing public affairs is a major surprise. Newspapers everywhere have stated that he will face the confront the problem head-on by reforming numerous government agencies, merging others, and dismantling others. We are still figuring out the specifics. The only information that has been made public thus far is that the plan's first casualties will be the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the National Examinations Council, and the National Poverty Eradication Programme. It is evident from the announced strategy that the president and his officials either do not understand the seriousness of the issue or are once again manipulating a terrible sickness that is plaguing the nation. In what way would eliminating NECO and instructing WAEC to take on the personnel reduce costs? Or how would renaming NAPP contribute to improving governance value? How does he make sure that each and every Kobo that goes into counted national treasuries? What steps is he taking to guarantee that public policy is geared toward reducing people's suffering? The cost of governance during Jonathan's administration is examined in this study. It examines the cost of government from a thematic perspective, emphasizing its main points with specific examples. According to the paper's conclusion, the so-called clause of "senior ministers and junior or ministers of state" has led to the current unhealthy rivalry and widespread bitterness, but it has also resulted in needless waste of public funds in the payment of entitlements due to over-bloated administrative costs.  

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a crucial natural language processing task that extracts and classifies named entities from unstructured text into predefined categories. While existing NER methods have shown success in general domains, they often face significant challenges when applied to specialized contexts like Filipino cultural and historical texts. These challenges stem from the unique linguistic features, and diverse naming conventions. This research introduces an enhanced rule-based NER approach that specifically addresses these challenges. At its core, the system utilizes curated Corpus of Historical Filipino and Philippine English (COHFIE), which serves as both training and evaluation data. This research presents an enhanced rule-based approach for NER using a Corpus of Historical Filipino and Philippine English (COHFIE) building on pattern-learning methods, incorporating character and token features, and by using positive and negative example sets. To enrich the classification process, we used the International Committee for Documentation – Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM), a cultural heritage framework, to provide a more nuanced categorization of entities based on their historical and cultural significance. Tested across existing Filipino based models (calamanCy and RoBERTa Tagalog), the enhanced model shows improvement on identifying entities related to Filipino culture (CUL) and history terms (PER, ORG, LOC).
