In the era of globalization, language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a medium for negotiating identity and representing culture. This study examines the relationship between language use and cultural identity in No Na’s bilingual song “Rollerblade.” It aims to identify the types and communicative functions of code-switching based on Hoffmann’s framework, the types of code-mixing based on Muysken’s framework, and the ways in which these linguistic choices construct a cultural Third Space through Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial theory. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data consisted of selected lyrical expressions containing Indonesian and English linguistic elements. The data were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed by classifying the forms of code-switching and code-mixing, identifying their communicative functions, and interpreting their relationship with Third Space dynamics. The findings reveal inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag code-switching, as well as insertion and congruent lexicalization in code-mixing. These linguistic strategies function to express group identity, provide interjections, clarify intentions, discuss particular topics, and emphasize statements. Their interaction reflects cultural mimicry, ambivalence, and subaltern agency. The findings indicate that No Na does not merely imitate Western popular culture but actively negotiates local and global identities by normalizing Indonesian cultural expressions within a global musical context. Thus, “Rollerblade” demonstrates how young people can participate in global culture while maintaining and reconstructing their local cultural identity.

The escalation of digital risks confronting children has prompted the issuance of Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 on the Governance of Electronic System Operation in Child Protection (PP TUNAS). Nevertheless, its field effectiveness remains hindered by challenges in information dissemination and the technical readiness of digital platforms. This study aims to explore in depth the perceptions, experiences, and practices of urban communities in conceptualizing PP TUNAS, while identifying the discrepancy between regulatory frameworks and the reality of child protection from a policy communication perspective. To analyze this phenomenon, a qualitative approach utilizing an interpretive case study design was employed. Primary data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews with key informants—comprising parents, educators, and digital literacy advocates in urban areas—and complemented by observation alongside secondary survey data from the Evident Institute for methodological triangulation. Thematic analysis reveals that while urban communities overwhelmingly support the age-restriction mandate, their understanding remains superficially normative due to an underlying policy communication gap. Furthermore, a structural implementation gap emerged, as platform age-verification mechanisms are perceived as highly susceptible to bypass. In response to these technical shortfalls, parents and schools have independently adopted localized digital parental mediation strategies, despite lacking formal integration with the legal framework. This study concludes that the success of PP TUNAS cannot rest solely on judicial enforcement; rather, it necessitates robust platform technical infrastructure, comprehensive public policy communication strategies, and an integrated orchestration of multi-stakeholder governance.

This study examines the effects of competence, work motivation, and work environment on employee performance in financial service companies in Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach with a descriptive and verification survey design was employed. The study population consisted of 145 permanent employees, from whom 100 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26. The analytical procedures included validity and reliability testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression, partial t-tests, simultaneous F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results demonstrate that competence has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Work motivation and work environment also positively and significantly influence employee performance. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect employee performance, explaining 72.6% of its variation, while the remaining 27.4% is associated with factors outside the research model. Competence is identified as the most dominant predictor of employee performance. These findings indicate that employee performance can be improved through integrated human resource policies that strengthen professional competence, enhance work motivation, and create a safe, supportive, and conducive work environment. This study provides practical evidence for financial service company management in designing employee development, reward, and workplace improvement programs.

This research aims to find the impact of human activity and interaction with their surrounding nature as well as to illustrate how anthropocentrism is portrayed in the Dune movie. This research applied descriptive qualitative method, while the data collected by observing the scene and dialogue that contains ecocriticism and anthropocentrism in the movie Dune. This research applies the theory of Greg Garrard and Cheryll Glotfelty for ecocriticism. This research also applies the theory of Bryan Norton for anthropocentrism types and its impact. Based on the result of selected data, the types of anthropocentrism depicted in the movie are 12 strong anthropocentrism and 5 weak anthropocentrism. As for the impact of anthropocentrism found in the movie are 5 anthropocentrism impact. All of the anthropocentrism types depicted in the movie are basically an implementation of human thought which considers human to be the center of the universe and justifies all action to achieve what one’s desired. Based on the data, strong anthropocentrism tends to exploit nature, dominate nature, and oppress other living creature for human interest. Weak anthropocentrism tends to preserve nature due to human’s dependency with nature. Anthropocentrism caused the impact on environment and living creature including human.

The massive development of digital technology expands children's access to information while simultaneously escalating cyber risks such as online exploitation and cyberbullying. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning Electronic System Governance for Child Protection (PP TUNAS) in the digital space, focusing on the technical challenges of age verification and the strengthening of digital literacy. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using qualitative content analysis of relevant regulatory documents, methodologically triangulated with secondary questionnaire data from the EVIDENT Institute involving 1,050 urban respondents in DKI Jakarta. The analytical framework is examined through Edwards III's Policy Implementation Theory, which measures four main variables—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—supported by Ayres and Braithwaite's Responsive Regulation Theory. The findings indicate a wide operational gap between normative regulatory texts and the reality of digital platform architecture. First, in the technical resource dimension, the age verification mechanisms of most platforms still rely on vulnerable self-declaration methods, deemed ineffective by 59.3% of respondents. Second, in the communication dimension, a substantial information asymmetry emerges, with 45% of respondents in a state of pseudo-awareness. Third, there is an imbalance between the domestic parental supervision burden and the fragmentation of the educational bureaucracy, reflected in 31.8% of educational institutions that have not facilitated digital literacy socialization for the parent community. This study concludes that strengthening PP TUNAS implementation requires integrating verification systems based on national population data (NIK) and standardizing a national digital citizenship curriculum to close the digital loophole.

The escalating access of children to social media has significantly broadened their exposure to cyber risks, a pressing phenomenon to which the government responded by enacting Government Regulation Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Governance of Electronic System Operation for Child Protection (PP TUNAS). This study aims to analyze the innovation diffusion process of the PP TUNAS policy within the broader social system by applying Everett M. Rogers’ theoretical framework. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, descriptive quantitative data derived from an EVIDENT Institute survey of 1,050 urban respondents serve as the foundational baseline layer. The robustness of this study relies on a qualitative approach using an interpretive policy discourse analysis grounded in Lasswell’s Communication Model (who, says what, in which channel, to whom, with what effect). This qualitative method critically deconstructs the official regulatory text of PP TUNAS and the respondents' thematic narratives to uncover the root causes of dissonance underlying the statistical figures. The findings indicate that PP TUNAS has successfully progressed through all stages of innovation diffusion. During the knowledge and persuasion phases, the public demonstrated substantial affective support (96.1%), which was followed by autonomous protective measures taken by parents in the implementation stage (91%). Nevertheless, the confirmation stage revealed distinct dissonance regarding the perceived ineffectiveness of digital platforms' age verification systems (59.3%). The qualitative analysis acutely reveals that this dissonance stems from a rupture in the communication chain at the channel level (the platform's technical delivery), even though the policy message (says what) was well-received by the communicants (to whom). The study concludes that the long-term success of PP TUNAS heavily depends on structural rectifications of the platform's technical channels alongside the reinforcement of humanistic family digital literacy programs.

This study examines the effects of the Current Ratio, Debt-to-Equity Ratio, and Return on Equity on the stock price of PT United Tractors Tbk during the 2016–2023 period. The study employed a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the company’s quarterly financial statements and stock price records published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the company’s official website. Purposive sampling was applied, resulting in 32 quarterly observations. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, partial significance tests, simultaneous significance tests, and the coefficient of determination with IBM SPSS version 25. The results show that the Current Ratio has a negative and significant effect on stock price, with a significance value of 0.030. In contrast, the Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Return on Equity do not have significant partial effects, with significance values of 0.087 and 0.380, respectively. Simultaneously, the three financial ratios have a significant effect on stock price, as indicated by a significance value of 0.049. The adjusted coefficient of determination is 0.160, indicating that the model explains 16% of the variation in stock price, while the remaining 84% is associated with factors outside the model. These findings indicate that liquidity, leverage, and profitability should be considered collectively when evaluating stock price movements, although other financial and market-related factors remain dominant.

Environmental pollution due to suboptimal waste management is a problem that continues to increase along with increasing population growth, urbanization, and changes in people's consumption patterns. This condition not only has a negative impact on ecology, but also has an impact on health, quality of life, and provides human rights. This study aims to analyze the state's responsibility for environmental pollution due to waste and examine waste management from a human rights perspective. The research method used is normative juridical research with a regulatory approach (statutory approach) and a contextual approach (conceptual approach). The results of the study indicate that the state has constitutional and juridical responsibilities in ensuring effective waste management, as regulated in Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management and Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. From a human rights perspective, a good and healthy environment is a fundamental right guaranteed in Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and various international human rights instruments. Therefore, environmental pollution resulting from poor management can be considered a threat to the rights to health, the right to life, and the right to a decent environment. Sustainable waste management is a crucial instrument for realizing environmental protection and guaranteeing human rights.

This study aims to analyze the effects of risk management disclosure, investment decisions, dividend policy, and profitability on firm value. The research objects consist of consumer goods industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2025 period. The research data were collected through documentation from financial statements, annual reports, and sustainability reports. The sampling technique employed purposive sampling with the following criteria: (1) the companies consistently published financial statements, annual reports, and sustainability reports throughout the research period; and (2) the companies did not experience losses or delisting, consistently distributed dividends, and did not undertake mergers or significant restructuring during the research period. Based on these criteria, 11 companies were selected as the research sample, resulting in 77 observations. Hypothesis testing was conducted using panel data regression analysis. Based on the Chow and Hausman test results, the Fixed Effect Model was selected as the most appropriate estimation model. The results indicate that investment decisions and profitability partially affect firm value, whereas risk management disclosure and dividend policy do not have a significant effect on the firm value of consumer goods industry companies during the 2019–2025 period. Simultaneously, risk management disclosure, investment decisions, dividend policy, and profitability affect firm value.

This study aims to compare the intrinsic elements of Bumi Cinta and Ketika Cinta Bertasbih by Habiburrahman El Shirazy using a structural literary approach. A qualitative descriptive method with comparative analysis was employed to examine the similarities and differences in theme, characterization, plot, setting, point of view, language style, and moral message. The data consisted of textual excerpts selected from both novels and analyzed based on the structural theory of fiction proposed by Nurgiyantoro. The findings indicate that both novels consistently promote Islamic values through themes of faith, love, and moral integrity while employing similar narrative perspectives and religious language styles. However, they differ in narrative setting, plot structure, character development, and conflict. Bumi Cinta portrays the struggle to maintain faith within a secular environment, whereas Ketika Cinta Bertasbih emphasizes responsibility, perseverance, and spiritual maturity in a religious setting. These findings demonstrate Habiburrahman El Shirazy's ability to express consistent ideological values through diverse narrative structures, thereby contributing to comparative literary studies and the appreciation of contemporary Indonesian Islamic fiction.

Interpersonal communication among blind individuals relies heavily on auditory information because visual cues such as facial expressions, eye contact, and body language are inaccessible. Consequently, paralinguistic cues, particularly vocal tone, become the primary means of interpreting communicative intentions and emotions. This study aims to conceptually examine the role of paralinguistic perception in interpersonal communication among blind individuals through a narrative literature review. Relevant literature from communication studies, psychology, neuroscience, and disability studies was synthesized using a qualitative conceptual approach to explain the relationship between auditory compensation, vocal perception, and pragmatic interpretation. The findings indicate that cross-modal neuroplasticity enhances auditory sensitivity, enabling blind individuals to perceive subtle vocal variations. However, communication misunderstandings may still occur when vocal tone is inconsistent with the speaker's intended meaning because visual confirmation is unavailable. This study proposes an interdisciplinary conceptual framework demonstrating how visual impairment, auditory compensation, paralinguistic perception, and pragmatic interpretation collectively influence interpersonal communication. The findings provide theoretical contributions to communication studies and practical implications for promoting more inclusive and effective communication with blind individuals.

The division of nagari is a decentralization policy aimed at improving the effectiveness of governance, bringing public services closer to the community, and accelerating development and community empowerment. However, the implementation of this policy does not always have the same impact on every area resulting from the division. This study aims to analyze the impact of the division of Muaro Kiawai Barat Nagari on governance in Gunung Tuleh Subdistrict, West Pasaman Regency, and to identify the challenges faced following the division. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive research design. Research informants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques with validity testing through source triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the village division has had a positive impact on governance, as evidenced by increased accessibility of public services to the community, development initiatives that are more responsive to community needs, enhanced community development efforts, and the implementation of community empowerment programs. On the other hand, there are still negative impacts in the form of development constraints due to limited budgets and the lack of optimal sustainability of community empowerment programs because Nagari-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) have not yet been established. The main challenges faced by the nagari government are budget constraints and the suboptimal management of community empowerment programs.

Climate change and environmental degradation have become significant challenges affecting environmental sustainability and long-term food security. Tree planting programs have been widely implemented as an environmental conservation strategy; however, empirical evaluations of their implementation and effectiveness remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of a tree seedling planting program conducted through collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and three higher education institutions in Indonesia. A Convergent Parallel Mixed Methods approach was employed by integrating quantitative and qualitative data collected through field observations, interviews, documentation, and administrative records. Quantitative analysis assessed planting performance based on the number of seedlings distributed, planted, and surviving, while qualitative analysis explored program implementation and monitoring processes. The findings indicate that all administrative requirements and planting procedures were successfully fulfilled. A total of 12,000 tree seedlings were distributed and planted across three locations, with a 100% survival rate recorded during the monitoring period. Field observations confirmed that geotagging documentation, monitoring activities, and institutional collaboration contributed significantly to program accountability and implementation success. The study concludes that systematic monitoring and evaluation strengthen environmental conservation programs by ensuring planting compliance and supporting environmental sustainability and food security. The findings provide practical implications for improving monitoring mechanisms in future community-based environmental conservation initiatives.

Financial literacy is a fundamental skill that should be introduced to children from elementary school age. An understanding of the value of money, pocket-money management, saving habits, and the ability to distinguish needs from wants can help students make more responsible financial decisions. This community service program aimed to improve the financial literacy of fifth-grade elementary school students through education on pocket-money management, saving, and wise spending. The program was conducted at SDN Margahayu XIII, Bekasi City, on June 15, 2026, involving 30 fifth-grade students. An educational and participatory approach was applied through interactive presentations, needs-and-wants games, pocket-money allocation simulations, saving-goal preparation, simple financial-recording exercises, and wise-shopping simulations. The program was evaluated using pre-tests, post-tests, student worksheets, and participant-observation sheets. The results showed that the students’ average financial literacy score increased from 53.8 in the pre-test to 85.0 in the post-test. The score increased by 31.2 points or 58.0%. A total of 27 students, or 90.0%, achieved a minimum post-test score of 75, while 29 students, or 96.7%, demonstrated improved scores. The highest improvement was found in the students’ ability to distinguish needs from wants, which increased by 33 points. These results demonstrate that contextual learning through games and simulations can improve students’ understanding of pocket-money management, saving, and responsible shopping decisions. This program is expected to become an initial step in developing economical, planned, disciplined, and responsible financial behavior among elementary school students.

Financial literacy should be introduced from elementary school age to develop economical, honest, disciplined, well-planned, and responsible financial behavior.

The program applied educational, participatory, contextual, and simulation-based approaches. The activities included a pre-test, interactive instruction on the value and functions of money, a needs-and-wants game, pocket-money allocation exercises, saving-goal preparation, price-setting practices, buying and selling transactions, change calculation, simple financial recording, a post-test, and program evaluation. The results showed that the students’ average financial literacy score increased from 53.0 in the pre-test to 86.4 in the post-test. This represented an improvement of 33.4 points or 63.0%. The percentage of students achieving the minimum score increased from 20.0% to 93.3%, while 96.7% of participants demonstrated improved scores. The greatest improvement was found in transaction skills and wise purchasing decisions.

The development of digital payment systems has increasingly exposed elementary school students to electronic money cards, digital wallets, and QR-code payments through their families and everyday experiences. However, familiarity with payment technology is not always accompanied by an adequate understanding of digital balances, personal-data protection, and transaction security. This community service program aimed to improve elementary school students’ digital financial literacy through the introduction of electronic money and safe transaction practices. The program was conducted at SDN Margahayu XIII, Bekasi City, on June 15, 2026, involving 30 fifth-grade students. The program applied a Digital Financial Safety Lab model consisting of a diagnostic test, learning-station rotations, case-based games, balance-management exercises, confidential-information identification, and safe digital-transaction simulations. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests, student worksheets, performance assessments, and behavioral observations. The results showed that the students’ average digital financial literacy score increased from 48.2 in the pre-test to 88.3 in the post-test, representing an improvement of 40.1 points. The percentage of students achieving the minimum competency score increased from 13.3% to 93.3%, while 96.7% of participants demonstrated improved scores.

IISMA Alumni Club actively shares overseas career information through Instagram (@iisma_ac) and the WhatsApp group “IISMA AC Career Community”, yet many graduated members still choose domestic careers. This study examines the relationship between information quality on IISMA Alumni Club's digital media and graduated members' attitudes toward overseas career opportunities, using Information Integration Theory, where information quality comprises valence and weight. Using a quantitative correlational approach, data from 96 randomly sampled respondents were analyzed with the Rank Spearman correlation test in SPSS. Results show a strong, significant positive relationship between information valence and weight with members' cognitive, affective, and conative attitudes. The strongest relationship was between valence and the affective aspect (rs = 0.683), while the weakest was between weight and the conative aspect (rs = 0.597). The study concludes that information quality on IISMA Alumni Club's digital media is significantly related to members' attitudes toward overseas careers, though the conative aspect shows a comparatively lower relationship.

Sea-water settlements are residential areas for fishing communities characterized by unique environmental conditions, limited infrastructure, inadequate sanitation, and high exposure to coastal hazards. Despite these challenges, most residents continue to live in these settlements. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of sea-water settlements, the factors influencing fishermen’s decisions to remain in these settlements, the adaptation strategies adopted to cope with disaster risks, and the future residential plans of fishermen's families in Hajoran Village, Pandan District, Central Tapanuli Regency. This research employed a mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires administered to 133 fishermen households, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that the characteristics of the settlement represent a form of adaptation to the coastal environment and fishing activities. Economic factors were found to be the most dominant determinants of residents' decisions to remain, particularly household financial capacity, high relocation costs, and relatively affordable housing prices. The community also adapts by strengthening house structures, adjusting fishing activities according to weather conditions, implementing household economic strategies, maintaining social cooperation, and increasing preparedness for extreme weather. Most residents intend to remain in the settlement while gradually improving their houses according to their financial capacity.

Harga emas dunia merupakan faktor eksternal yang berpotensi memengaruhi kinerja keuangan perusahaan pertambangan emas, namun hubungan keduanya tidak selalu bersifat linear mengingat kompleksitas struktur bisnis dan biaya perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komparatif tren harga emas dunia dengan profitabilitas PT Aneka Tambang Tbk periode 2021–2025 menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan komparatif tren. Data bersumber dari laporan keuangan konsolidasian audited PT Aneka Tambang Tbk tahun 2021–2025 serta data harga emas rata-rata tahunan yang diterbitkan oleh World Gold Council, dengan indikator profitabilitas Return on Assets (ROA) dan Net Profit Margin (NPM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harga emas mengalami kenaikan akseleratif dari USD 1.793,38 menjadi USD 3.518,43 per troy ounce dengan pertumbuhan kumulatif 96,2%, sementara profitabilitas perusahaan bergerak fluktuatif dengan puncak tertinggi pada 2025. Analisis komparatif terhadap empat fase pergerakan menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak konsisten dan non-linear, di mana dua fase bergerak searah, satu fase berlawanan, dan satu fase bersifat parsial, yang disebabkan oleh fluktuasi volume penjualan, ekspansi aset yang belum produktif, dan lonjakan beban pokok pembelian logam mulia dari pihak ketiga. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa analisis profitabilitas perusahaan pertambangan perlu mempertimbangkan struktur biaya, strategi pengadaan, dan keputusan investasi secara simultan, tidak cukup bertumpu pada pergerakan harga komoditas semata.
