Abstract

This study investigates the European migration crisis, focusing on its root causes, cultural conflicts, and social integration challenges. The research highlights how armed conflict, political instability, economic disparities, and climate change drive mass migration and create significant social and economic pressures on host countries. Using a systematic literature review, this paper identifies the main barriers to integration, including language differences, discrimination, and unequal access to resources. The findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive policies that promote social cohesion, inclusive integration programs, and international cooperation to address migration flows and humanitarian concerns effectively. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on sustainable migration policies by providing insights into both immediate and long-term strategies for managing migration challenges.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in translation services has transformed the landscape of linguistic studies. This study assesses the effectiveness of AI-driven translation tools among English Literature students at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, focusing on translation accuracy, usability, and impact on language learning. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected quantitative data through questionnaires and supported it with a literature review. Findings indicate that 96.6% of students regularly use AI translation tools, with a majority finding them helpful. However, concerns about over-reliance on these tools and their potential negative impact on language skill development were noted. The study highlights the dual role of AI tools in enhancing learning while requiring human oversight for accuracy and contextual relevance. Recommendations for improving AI tools include ensuring contextually accurate translations, enhancing vocabulary databases, and integrating human input. Overall, while AI translation tools significantly aid students' academic activities, a balanced approach is crucial to avoid dependency and ensure the development of independent language skills

Abstract

Song lyrics serve as a medium for expressing complex emotions, including grief and loss. This study aims to analyse the representation of grief in "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones using Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief model. The data consist of 9 stanzas of the song's lyrics that were analysed using a qualitative descriptive method, examining the lyrics by identifying signifiers and signifieds and interpreting their meanings through the process of signification. The findings reveal that grief is represented through recurring symbols such as black cars, funeral flowers, darkness, and color imagery, which signify mourning, emotional suffering, hopelessness, and irreversible loss. The analysis identifies four stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, with depression emerging as the dominant stage. This research contributes to semiotic and literary studies by demonstrating how Saussurean semiotics can be integrated with psychological grief models to analyse emotional expression in song lyrics. The study concludes that "Paint It Black" portrays grief as a transformative experience communicated through a rich system of symbolic signs.
