Abstract

Love has a huge impact on someone's life. To be in love, someone tries to find a romantic relationship. Indeed, romantic love can be developed without having frequent or real-life interactions, such as with a stranger from a dating app. Telecom and internet fraud has become a public hazard as a new type of contactless crime, with crooks targeting large numbers of unsuspecting victims. This paper linguistically investigates the main character of the Tinder Swindler documentary film. Simon, the main character discursive strategies designed to manipulate girls' minds into accepting, even doing anything that he says to get profit to fulfill his luxurious lifestyle. Regardless of the scientific and technological tools utilized by swindlers, language is the primary communication. From a socio-semiotic standpoint, this research shows that criminal suspects use discourse resources to fabricate false information and construct false identities through discursive practice, to gain victims' trust, trick, deceive, and manipulate them into giving out confidential information and funds. This study investigates the dynamic process of selecting and building identities in the social-cultural context by altering associated discourse resources and techniques. This research also offers a socio-semiotic strategy for preventing online and telecom scams. Keywords: discursive manipulation, film, identity, scam, socio-semiotic, dating application

Abstract

Students’ ability to learn English independently is a crucial skill required in the higher education learning environment, particularly for students outside of English language programs who have limited knowledge and hands-on experience with language learning and use in the classroom. Despite the importance of this, many students face difficulties and lack the know-how to organize, carry out, and sustain their own learning processes, indicating a lack of understanding regarding the barriers that limit student autonomy. This study examines the barriers and challenges faced by non-English major students, specifically those in the Bachelor of Agricultural Technology and Bachelor of Law programs, in developing their language skills, particularly in independent English learning. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document reviews, and then analyzed thematically. The findings of this study identified four main challenges faced by students in the undergraduate agricultural technology program and the undergraduate law program in the process of independent learning: first, they have low motivation to maintain long-term engagement in the learning process; second, the learning strategies they use are inappropriate and inadequate; third, they have limited access to learning resources; and fourth, they lack confidence in practicing and using English. These internal barriers are further exacerbated by external factors in their learning environment, including a curriculum focused solely on exam results without considering students’ learning experiences and institutional support that remains inadequate.

Abstract

The values of Pancasila as a guideline for Indonesian citizens to make Pancasila a guiding spirit in running the governance of personal and social life of the nation and state. Pancasila as a spirit to carry out the value of national values is truly an inclusive social virtue, inspiring, uniting and liberating all social groups, ethnicities, religions, languages and aspirations of national life in the midst of society. The values of Pancasila are currently discussed regarding the virtues in the preparation of elections for novice voters. Pancasila every time the ceremony is often mentioned together but the values in Pancasila most do not know in full so that the values in Pancasila need to be re-applied so that it enters into the inner spirit of the students at MA NU Demak. Exploring the values of Pancasila as a guideline in the election can certainly serve to integrate diversity (diversity) despite different choices but still unite. The values of Pancasila are needed to anticipate and face a series of problems in the election including the spread of fake news, black campaigns, and money politics. This can be anticipated when the soul in every human being is instilled with the seeds of love for the country. The spirit of nationality reminds us of the importance of commitment, loyalty of every child of the nation to remain consistent in the fundamental orientation of national life, the love of one homeland, one language and one nation Indonesia.

Abstract

Pembaruan hukum pidana formal melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2025 tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana menuntut peningkatan pemahaman masyarakat, termasuk Warga Binaan Pemasyarakatan (WBP), terhadap prinsip due process of law dan hak-hak prosedural dalam sistem peradilan pidana. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi hukum WBP di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas IIB Batang mengenai pembaruan hukum pidana formal serta perlindungan hak prosedural. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan edukatif-partisipatif yang meliputi identifikasi pemahaman awal melalui pre-test, penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif berbasis studi kasus, dan evaluasi menggunakan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa sebelum penyuluhan sebagian besar peserta belum memahami secara komprehensif pembaruan KUHAP, prinsip due process of law, hak memperoleh pendampingan hukum, serta mekanisme upaya hukum. Setelah mengikuti penyuluhan terjadi peningkatan pemahaman, kesadaran hukum, dan kemampuan peserta menjelaskan kembali tahapan proses peradilan pidana serta hak-hak prosedural yang dijamin oleh hukum. Metode penyuluhan yang diterapkan terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi hukum WBP sekaligus memperkuat pemahaman mengenai pentingnya proses hukum yang adil, transparan, dan sesuai prosedur. Kegiatan ini juga memperkuat sinergi antara Universitas Semarang dan Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas IIB Batang dalam mendukung penguatan perlindungan hak asasi manusia serta akses terhadap keadilan melalui edukasi hukum yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

AbstrakMahasiswa tingkat akhir diwajibkan menulis skripsi, dan dalam skripsi tersebut pasti ada bagian abstrak sebagai sinopsis atau ringkasan dari keseluruhan isi skripsi. Abstrak adalah bagian terpenting yang harus ada pada setiap tulissan karya ilmiah karena abstrak memberikan informasi secara singkat namun lengkap mengenai suatu tulisan karya ilmiah, misalnya tujuan penelitian, metode yang digunakan, hasil dan kesimpulan penelitian. Permasalahan yang dihadapi mahasiswa adalah format abstrak yang mereka tuliskan seringkali tidak sesuai kaidah. Pelatihan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pengetahuan penulisan abstrak kepada para mahasiswa tingkat akhir Fakultas Hukum Universitas Semarang tentang bagaimana menulis abstrak yang baik, baik dalam Bahasa Indonesia maupun Bahasa Inggris, karena berdasarkan hasil pengamatan awal dari sembilan abstrak yang menjadi pembahasan hanya dua abstrak saja yang bisa dikatakan sesuai dengan format penulisan abstrak. Melalui metode ceramah, diskusi, dan praktik, hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukkan pemahaman mahasiswa dalam menulis abstrak meningkat terutama dalam format penulisan abstrak. Jenis kalimat yang digunakan dalam membuat abstrak pun beragam, mulai dari kalimat sederhana sampai pada kalimat majemuk.  Kata Kunci: abstrak, pelatihan, mahasiswa tingkat akhir
