Abstract

Romanian President Klaus Werner Iohannis (KWI) was president for the first term from 2014 to 2019 and for the second term from 2019 to 2025. During his time in office, some populist groups in Romania said that joining the European Union (EU) brought economic problems, foreign culture, unhappiness with government, feeling like they lost rights, being unhappy with the EU, and worrying about losing control over their country. This kind of populism happened not only in Romania but also in other EU countries. The goal of this research is to understand what populism means, how people think about it, and how President KWI tried to get support from these populist groups while Romania was part of the EU. This study uses a mix of Heider's attribution theory and Dan Nimmo's political communication ideas. The study guesses that even though some groups were against the EU or Euroscepticism, by using political communication strategies, President KWI could deal with these issues and keep Romania in the EU. The results showed that populist groups kept pushing for anti-EU, anti-elites, anti-establishment, and anti-pluralism ideas to win public support. The public had mixed feelings about these campaigns. By the end of KWI's time in office, more people started to support populists because they lost trust in the government, which wasn't strong enough in fighting corruption. Still, by using political communication strategies, Romania stayed in the EU and joined the Schengen Area on January 1, 2025. Also, President KWI was able to serve two terms.

Abstract

Perum Bulog plays a strategic role in maintaining national food security, but its implementation has not been optimal because employee competencies still need to be improved. Therefore, human resource capacity building is an important factor in strengthening Perum Bulog's performance. This study aims to identify employee competencies in improving food logistics services, as well as obstacles and implementation efforts at Perum Bulog Cirebon. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with an empirical approach. The main informant is the Head of Perum Bulog Cirebon Branch with supporting informants being employees and work partners. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research refers to (Spencer & Spencer, 1993) competency theory, which includes motive, traits, self-concept, knowledge, and skills. The results show that employee competency is not yet optimal, especially in terms of knowledge and skills, which is influenced by training that is not yet routine and is still centralized at the head office. Other obstacles include the incompatibility of employees' educational backgrounds, complaints from partners about the quality of rice, and manual administration. Efforts made include branch-based training, strengthening rice quality control, and providing online administrative verification services. Improving employee competency is key to improving food logistics services at Bulog Cirebon.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of FOMO in the running community, describe the process of forming social identity through membership, interaction, and shared activities, and interpret its relevance in influencing the way members interpret their involvement, both as an effort to maintain health and as a need for social recognition and existence. The study used a descriptive qualitative method with in-depth interview techniques with six informants, participatory observation, and documentation. The results of the study show that there is a shift in the meaning of FOMO to "Good FOMO" which plays a role in disciplining health behaviors, especially related to sleep patterns and smoking cessation. The formation of social identity emerges through the categorization of the self as an inclusive group, the internalization of the role of the "runner" in the concept of self, and social comparison through digital media that encourages motivation to achieve. The research also found a paradox of participation, namely the involvement of members more driven by the need for social existence, making physical health a by-product. It is concluded that in hybrid communities, FOMO serves as an informal social control mechanism that maintains adherence to a healthy lifestyle while strengthening the group's social identity.

Abstract

This study investigates the English language learning difficulties experienced by eleventh-grade students majoring in Computer and Network Engineering at SMKN 3 Takalar, a vocational high school (SMK) in Indonesia. A quantitative research methodology utilizing questionnaires was employed to gather data from 75 students, focusing on their proficiency levels across four key language skills (speaking, reading, listening, and writing), as well as factors contributing to their learning difficulties. The findings revealed that 68% of students experience significant difficulties in learning English, with speaking identified as the most challenging skill (73% of respondents), followed by reading and listening (30.33% each), while writing represents the least difficult area (14% of respondents). The primary factors contributing to these difficulties include insufficient speaking practice (45.3%), limited study time (42.7%), and lack of motivation (38.7%). Additionally, students identified inadequate teaching materials relevant to their technical field (18.7%) and the absence of study partners (30.7%) as significant barriers. However, the study also found that students actively engage in self-directed learning through watching English movies or videos (52%), reading English books or articles (45.3%), and listening to podcasts or music (46.7%) outside the classroom. The majority of students (76%) expressed a strong need for specialized English training focused on technical texts related to computer and network engineering, with 53.3% considering such training very necessary. These findings underscore the critical importance of developing targeted interventions and specialized English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials tailored to vocational students' unique academic and professional needs. Keywords: English learning difficulties, vocational education, technical English, ESL, qualitative analysis, curriculum development.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance Arabic language learning in madrasahs Al Falah. Using a mixed-methods approach, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected to examine the impact of AI on Arabic language education. The qualitative phase involved in-depth interviews, focus groups, and case studies with teachers, students, and administrators, exploring their perceptions, experiences, and challenges related to AI integration. The quantitative phase included a survey assessing attitudes towards AI in language learning. Results reveal that AI offers significant benefits, including personalized learning, real-time feedback, and improved student engagement. However, challenges such as lack of training, insufficient infrastructure, and funding limitations hinder its full implementation. The study concludes that while AI has the potential to revolutionize Arabic education in madrasahs Al Falah, its successful adoption requires addressing these challenges and providing proper support to educators.

Abstract

The practice of leasing land and buildings by foreign citizens (Warga Negara Asing/WNA) in Indonesia continues to develop along with increasing investment and economic activities in strategic areas, one of which is Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), North Jakarta. This study aims to examine the practice of land and building leasing by foreign nationals, the forms of legal smuggling that occur, and the supervisory function in preventing such practices. The research method used is a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. Data were obtained through library research and interviews with the management of the PIK area in North Jakarta. The analysis was conducted based on agrarian law, civil law, immigration law, and regional regulations related to the supervision of building use by foreign nationals. The results of the study indicate that leasing practices by foreign nationals are, in principle, permitted as long as they comply with applicable legal provisions. However, in practice, there are indications of misuse of lease agreements by foreign nationals who enter Indonesia using visit or tourist visas but subsequently lease buildings for long-term periods to conduct business activities, such as restaurants, clothing trade, and mobile phone accessories businesses. Such practices potentially contradict Articles 1320 and 1337 of the Indonesian Civil Code because they contain an unlawful cause and may be categorized as legal smuggling

Abstract

This research aims to prove that the simplicity in the poem "Aku Ingin" by Sapardi Djoko Damono is not just an aesthetic choice, but an artistic strategy that is consciously and systematically designed. The study was conducted using the Russian Formalism approach which places the internal structure of the text as the center of the analysis, regardless of the biographical or social context of the author. With qualitative descriptive methods and close reading techniques, this study identifies the way formal devices work including repetition, defamiliarization, natural metaphors, typography, diction, and stanza symmetry in building poetry literariness. The results of the analysis show that simplicity is built through a number of devices that support each other: the repetition of the phrase "I want to love you simply" as the dominant device that creates parallel rhythms and binds the structure between verses; defamiliarization through the metaphors of "wood to fire" and "cloud to rain" that present love from a new point of view; as well as lowercase typography and the absence of punctuation that reinforce the subtle and contemplative impression. This organized structural simplicity is the dominant element that drives the entire aesthetic system of poetry. This research confirms that Russian Formalism is able to uncover how simplicity works not as a limitation, but as an artistic force that produces a profound aesthetic experience.

Abstract

Fights between students in Indonesia are a complex social issue that is often triggered by minor incidents, the emotional instability of adolescents, and the influence of peer groups or gangs, resulting in disruption of public order, physical and psychological harm, and even fatalities. This problem creates challenges in applying criminal liability to children because their psychological development is not yet complete and they are easily influenced by their surrounding environment. This normative analysis examines the provisions on child criminal liability in brawl cases under Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (SPPA Law), which emphasizes the principles of prioritizing the best interests of the child, individualization of sanctions, diversion, and restorative justice. The research findings indicate that the regulation is based on the concept of participation in the Criminal Code but is adjusted to child protection principles through individual assessments based on role, age, psychological condition, and valid evidence. In practice, irregularities still occur, such as the mass determination of perpetrators and examinations that are not child-friendly. Diversion and restorative justice approaches have proven effective for out-of-court settlements aimed at rehabilitation, although cases involving many parties remain complex. Therefore, stronger law enforcement efforts are needed to prevent brawls, ensure child protection, and provide guidance for law enforcement officials, educational institutions, and policymakers in achieving fair, consistent, and humane handling of such cases.

Abstract

Hospitals are healthcare institutions that produce significant amounts of medical and non-medical waste daily. Waste management that does not meet standards has the potential to negatively impact human health, the safety of healthcare workers, and environmental degradation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of management functions including planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising (POAC) in medical and non-medical waste management at Harapan Sehat Bumiayu Hospital, and to identify obstacles that hinder its implementation. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. Data were collected through field observations, semi-structured interviews with seven key informants, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive analysis model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the four management functions have been implemented through provision of facilities and scheduling of waste collection (planning), clear division of tasks among staff (organizing), routine implementation of waste collection and transportation accompanied by the use of PPE (implementation), and daily monitoring and periodic institutional audits (supervision). However, several obstacles remain, including indiscipline among some staff in waste sorting and limited supporting facilities in some service units. Effective waste management contributes positively to hospital environmental cleanliness, infection prevention, and improved occupational safety for healthcare workers.
