Abstract

Extreme poverty in Bengkalis Regency is one of the main challenges of regional development, especially in coastal and island areas. This article analyzes strategies to accelerate the elimination of extreme poverty by using a holistic approach of socio-economic programs and government intervention innovations. The study focuses on programs such as Gerakan Desa Mandiri and Direct Cash Assistance that are designed to improve the welfare of extreme poor households through entrepreneurship training, cash transfers, and basic infrastructure development. Using data from the 2023 Integrated Database Updating (PBDT) and 2024 BPS, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify the determinants of program success. Results show an extreme poverty reduction of 7% between 2023 and 2024, with the highest achievements in Mandau (31%) and Rupat (23%) sub-districts. However, major challenges remain in remote areas such as Bengkalis sub-district. This article suggests intensification of community-based programs, improving access to employment, and cross-sector coordination to achieve the target of eliminating extreme poverty by 2025.

Abstract

English business negotiation requires not only grammatical accuracy but also pragmatic competence, as strategies such as directness, politeness, mitigation, and hedging determine how offers and requests are received. Current pedagogical practices, which rely on role-plays and simulations, often provide only general evaluations and lack detailed feedback on pragmatic strategies. This study proposes a rule-based approach to classify pragmatic strategies in student negotiation transcripts. Rules were formulated using both pragmatic theory and empirical observation, then represented in First-Order Logic (FOL) for computational implementation. The dataset consisted of 1,200 utterances from simulated negotiations, which were manually annotated by three experts with high inter-annotator agreement (κ = 0.82). The rule-based system classified each utterance deterministically into one of the four strategies based on lexical and grammatical markers. Results show that directness dominated (51.7%), followed by politeness (30.8%), while mitigation (11.7%) and hedging (5.8%) were used less frequently. System evaluation against manual annotation yielded strong performance, with a macro F1-score of 0.81. While effective in detecting directness and politeness, the system was less optimal for mitigation and hedging due to their implicit variability. These findings suggest that students favor straightforward expressions and underuse more nuanced strategies. The study concludes that pragmatic instruction should place greater emphasis on mitigation and hedging, while the rule-based system can serve as an automatic feedback tool to support pragmatic learning in English for Business Negotiation

Abstract

This study explores the values of local wisdom within the Mandailing community's seven-monthly oral traditions, emphasising its significance in understanding the intricate relationship between culture, language, and the environment. The primary objective is to describe these values through an ecolinguistic perspective, supported by an ethnographic study of communication. The research employs listening and note-taking methods, ethnographic conversation, and recording techniques for data collection. The analysis utilises extra-lingual matching and contextual analysis to identify and interpret the embedded wisdom. Our findings reveal that local wisdom manifests in tangible forms, such as rice wrapped in leaves, gala shrimp, carp, and eggs, and intangible forms, exemplified by words of advice and admonition. These manifestations collectively embody noble values deeply rooted in the Mandailing people's culture. This research contributes to ecolinguistics by highlighting how oral traditions are a repository for cultural values and environmental knowledge.
