Abstract

This study aims to analyse the use of liquid smoke as an alternative to prevent crop failure in rice harvests in Rasau Jaya Dua Village. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data sources obtained through interviews with liquid smoke producers, long-time liquid smoke users, and new liquid smoke users who use it on rice plants. The results of the study show that the use of liquid smoke can help prevent crop failure in rice plants, which is often caused by pest and disease attacks. Liquid smoke is believed to increase plant resistance to pests and also acts as a fertiliser for the soil. Most farmers in Rasau Jaya Dua Village have tried various methods of preventing crop failure, such as the use of pesticides, but the use of liquid smoke as a new solution is still limited. Farmers' responses to liquid smoke users vary. Most welcome this technology because it is considered environmentally friendly and effective, although there are obstacles such as limited knowledge and difficulties in its application. Therefore, further socialisation and training are needed to increase farmers' understanding and skills in the use of liquid smoke. This training is expected to contribute to the development of more sustainable agricultural technology in the future.

Abstract

This study begins with the problem of the representation of narcissistic traits in literary works, which are often perceived narrowly only through arrogant and exhibitionist behavior, while the dimension of emotional vulnerability is often overlooked. This study aims to analyze the character of Howl Jenkins in Diana Wynne Jones's novel Howl's Moving Castle by emphasizing two main aspects, namely vulnerability (vulnerability) and arrogance (self-conceit), and connecting them with the theoretical framework of self-psychology. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a careful reading technique. Primary data is presented in the form of a novel text, explained through quotations, interactions, and narratives that display Howl's narcissistic traits. In contrast, secondary data is obtained from relevant articles, journals, and books on narcissism and emotional vulnerability. The results show that Howl's narcissism cannot be understood singly, but rather exists as a dialectic between vulnerability and arrogance. His emotional vulnerability is manifested in fear of anxiety, anxiety, and realizing identity. At the same time, arrogance serves as a protective mechanism to cover his fragility, manifesting as flamboyance and an obsession with appearance. These findings demonstrate that literary works can be an effective medium for illustrating multidimensional psychological dynamics and make theoretical contributions to the development of the concept of narcissism in contemporary psychology. This research also makes practical contributions to literature teaching by opening a reflective space for readers to understand the complexity of human emotions through fictional narratives.
