Abstract

Photojournalism serves as a powerful medium in shaping societal perceptions, particularly in the representation of marginalized communities. This study critically examines how sex workers are visually portrayed in photojournalism, employing a semiotic analysis grounded in the frameworks of Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Roland Barthes. The research investigates the role of denotation and connotation in constructing meaning, while foregrounding the mechanisms of dehumanization. Dehumanization is explored through both overt visual techniques and more subtle compositional choices that strip subjects of agency and individuality. Utilizing qualitative content analysis, the study analyzes a selection of photojournalistic images, focusing on signs, codes, and symbolic structures embedded within the visuals. Findings indicate a prevalent reliance on visual tropes that perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce social hierarchies. These visual strategies not only marginalize sex workers but also align with broader patterns of social exclusion and discrimination. The study concludes that ethical considerations in visual storytelling remain critically underexplored, especially in the context of vulnerable populations. Addressing these issues requires a reevaluation of journalistic practices and the incorporation of humanizing visual narratives that affirm dignity and complexity. This research contributes to media studies by bridging semiotic theory with critical discourse on visual ethics and human rights

Abstract

This study investigates the communicative practices of youth volunteers involved in Surabaya’s Kelurahan Bersinar anti-drug initiative, highlighting the role of grassroots messaging in shaping public health discourse. Grounded in framing theory, narrative theory, and social capital theory, the research explores how volunteers construct persuasive anti-drug messages through culturally rooted storytelling, emotional framing, and symbolic communication. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, focus groups, observations, and campaign materials with 18 youth volunteers. The findings reveal that volunteers effectively used personal experiences and local narratives to foster trust and collective identity, transforming individual challenges into shared stories of hope and resistance. Emotional strategies, such as gain-framed and fear-based appeals, were deliberately crafted to trigger empathy and promote behavioral change. Volunteers also capitalized on their deep integration within community networks to enhance message credibility and reach, cultivating both bonding and bridging social capital. The study challenges top-down approaches in health campaigns, illustrating the power of peer-led, culturally resonant communication. It contributes a layered communication model for grassroots health advocacy and underscores the transformative impact of narrative-driven volunteer engagement. The study recommends integrating cultural framing in training programs and exploring digital channels to scale grassroots messaging in future research.

Abstract

The emergence of tokenized derivatives marks a significant innovation in decentralized finance (DeFi), offering potential improvements in market liquidity and pricing efficiency through blockchain-enabled mechanisms. As financial markets evolve with the integration of smart contracts and distributed ledgers, understanding how user perceptions influence market dynamics becomes increasingly critical. This study aims to examine the effect of perceived adoption of tokenized derivatives on market liquidity and pricing efficiency, while assessing the mediating role of liquidity in this relationship. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), and Market Microstructure Theory (MMT), the research utilizes Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data from 150 fintech professionals based in Surabaya. The analysis reveals that perceived adoption significantly enhances both liquidity and pricing efficiency, with liquidity serving as a key mediating variable. These findings underscore the importance of behavioral constructs in shaping decentralized market outcomes and provide strategic insights for regulators, fintech developers, and policymakers aiming to accelerate adoption and improve market functionality in the DeFi landscape through perception-driven approaches.

Abstract

The Prakerja Program plays a crucial role in addressing Indonesia's demand for a digitally skilled workforce amid rapid technological and economic transformations. This study assesses the program’s effectiveness by employing the European Digital Competence Framework and Kirkpatrick’s Training Evaluation Model. The analysis reveals that while the program ensures accessibility and provides fundamental digital training, it demonstrates notable deficiencies in advanced skill development, sector-specific training, and practical applications. These limitations impede participants' preparedness for specialized employment in the technology sector, creative industries, and startups. The findings emphasize the necessity of an enhanced curriculum that incorporates advanced, modular training and experiential learning opportunities. To improve the program’s efficacy, this study recommends fostering strategic collaborations with industry stakeholders and implementing inclusive educational strategies. Aligning the program with labor market demands is essential for cultivating a highly competent and adaptable workforce in Indonesia’s evolving digital economy.
