This type of research is descriptive research using qualitative methods. The data collected is in the form of words, images, and not numbers. The sampling technique to explore information that will be the basis of this study is the purposive sampling technique. To perform validation of found information using data triangulation. The results showed that the coordination between the Investment Office and One-Stop Integrated Services and the Medan City Tourism Office was no longer in the process before the issuance of permits but after the issuance of permits. Unification of actions taken by the Investment Office and One-Stop Integrated Services and the Medan City Tourism Office has been carried out, namely the enforcement of strict sanctions against karaoke business owners who violate the rules in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures, then communication is carried out by exchanging information related to karaoke tourism business licenses in Medan City and communication is carried out if there is a karaoke business license that does not match between the Business Identification Number (NIB) and Business carried out in the field.

Abstract

This analysis is in the form of a conceptual analysis. The purpose of this paper is to find out the differences between Asian and European netizens. Asia and Europe have different numbers of netizens. Netizens in Asia have more numbers than netizens in Europe. Netizens in Asia and European netizens often use smartphones or tablets to buy products. Asia has substantial market potential in online business, while in Europe, several countries still need to improve social delivery networks and services. China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia are potential markets in Asia, while Germany, Poland, and Norway are potential markets in Europe. In conclusion, the online shopping behaviour of consumers in Asia and Europe is influenced by various factors, including demographics, cultural differences, payment methods, e-commerce platforms, mobile shopping, and cross-border shopping. Businesses catering to online shoppers need to understand these differences to tailor their marketing strategies and provide a better online shopping experience.

Abstract

Since the emergence of the application of the idea of democracy as the system of choice, various groups have complained about the evil practices of democratic politics. One of the shooting targets is that we choose the wrong one, namely adopting the model of the majority or liberal democracy. In the literature on democratic theory, one of the relevant theories for improving democratic practice is TDD (Theory of Deliberative Democracy). Although still using the principle of representation, TDD in general makes corrections or improvements to the procedures and substance of democracy which have so far been poorly practiced in Indonesia. This research is qualitative research using a descriptive-analytic method to provide a clear picture of the object of the problem. The conclusion of this study shows evidence of the existence of a democratic model both in substance and procedure. In contrast to the representative mechanism which was originally derived from the theory of representative democracy. There is visible hypocrisy and inconsistency in the implementation of democracy, which has never been considered a complete system.

Abstract

Magna Sententia is a municipality in the province of Neuquén, Argentina. Situated in a region traditionally known for its fruticulture economy, Magna sententia has recently been identified as a potential location for shattering. This development has resulted in widespread opposition among its inhabitants. The fight against breaking into Magna Sententia has followed several channels, from road blockades to art festivals and a legal challenge to the municipality. This paper analyses the conflict is focusing on the forms of community art and media employed by the local assembly against shattering to widen and sustain participation in the struggle and the role that these media have in mediating collective identity processes in the fight against breaking. Building on the concept of mediated identities (Fornäs and Xinaris, 2013), I look at this community art and media practices as dialogical (Kester, 2004). I propose that activities such as art festivals, mural painting and open radios contribute to collective identity through three mediating tactics: participation, knowledge sharing, and the event modality. I argue that these forms of community arts and media can be seen as a productive output of the conflict (Merlinsky, 2015), as they become crucial practices of cultural resistance.

Abstract

This paper addresses ethical issues and the challenges of insecurity in connection to mass media and journalistic practice in the context of Africa. In communication studies, ethics is central and critical to the issue of insecurity in Africa, especially to the credibility in the gathering, processing, and delivery of information for believability. Insecurity constitutes a major impediment to the development of Africa. There are multiple points of violent conflicts, acts of terrorism, kidnapping, and crimes. Many countries in Africa are faced with threats ranging from armed banditry, cattle rustling, armed and sea robberies and piracy, militancy, cultism, pipeline vandalism, illegal oil bunkering, and crude oil theft, illegal refining of petroleum, herdsmen-farmers clashes, activities of IPOB and other separatist groups. All of these make society tense, dangerous, and conflict-ridden with implications on journalism, its ethical practice, performance, and credibility. For an individual or people to internalize, accept, believe and actualize the content of information, such an individual or people must adjudge the source and content of the information based on truthfulness, competence, dynamism, and relevance. Often time, the challenges of insecurity in Africa are accelerated due to the way media handle such issues. When an individual is sufficiently and ethically informed, he or she becomes knowledgeable on a particular subject and the mind is freed from uncertainty, liberated from ignorance, and empowered to effectively participate in the process of national development. The growth and development of Africa have continuously failed to correlate with the quantum of resources allegedly expanded over time. Within this context, this paper examines ethics in journalistic engagement and the issues of insecurity in Africa.

Abstract

This study examined the newspaper coverage of the Ombatse crisis that hit Nasarawa State from 2012-2015. The Ombatse was a movement that wanted to resurrect the Eggon culture in a kind of renaissance and ensure a culture of high morality and chastity; laudable as these objectives were, the group suddenly turned dreadful, assuming a more militant posture; attacking and killing enemies real or perceived including security forces in their hundred. The study employed content analysis, which is a quantitative method of data generation. It applied four predetermined frames: actor frame, action frame, reaction frame, and consequence frame. 2112 dailies were censured for the period of four years. Study applied purposive sampling technique in the selection of the Daily Trust and Leadership newspapers where 180 copies of the papers were examined. The found that reaction frame was the predominant slant of the Nigerian newspapers with 61.1% of the news stories as reactions to the Ombatse activities. By implication, the findings revealed vacuity of the Nigerian media in handling a core national issue to which the media itself is a stakeholder. The study recommended that the media must be active participant in addressing, shaping public understanding of social upheaval- because the role of the media during conflict cannot be underestimated. The media should be able to analyse consequences, the possibility of collateral damage on the parties involved, the shadow parties and the by-standers. Nigerian journalists should also be trained and retrained on guide to sensitive-conflict reporting.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between researchers' self-efficacy and their commitment to duties in universities in Anambra State, Nigeria. The research aims to investigate the extent to which self-efficacy influences researchers' commitment levels and identify the implications for academic institutions. A descriptive survey design was employed, and data were collected through a questionnaire administered to lecturers in federal and state universities in Anambra State. The sample size consisted of 200 lecturers selected via simple random sampling. The questionnaire items were designed to measure self-efficacy and commitment to duties using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using bivariate correlational analyses, specifically Pearson product moment correlations. The study revealed a negative linear relationship between researchers' self-efficacy and their commitment to duties, indicating that lower self-efficacy levels corresponded to diminished commitment. These findings highlight the importance of supporting researchers' self-efficacy through training, mentorship, and resource provision. Recommendations include enhancing self-efficacy development programs, fostering a positive research culture, providing adequate resources and support, implementing mentoring initiatives, and promoting research collaborations. By implementing these recommendations, universities in Anambra State can foster a culture of commitment and excellence among researchers, thereby enhancing productivity and contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the academic community.
