Abstract

The media in a democratic setting exists to inform, educate and entertain the general public. The media are referred to as the Fourth Estate of the nation with oversight functions on the activities of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. Despite the return to democratic governance in 1999, Nigeria has witnessed an increase in security challenges, from the Sharia based riots in 1999, Sagamu riots in 2000, the Jos riots in 2008, through the Chibok girls abduction by Boko Haram insurgents in 2014 to the Kaduna Shite clashes with the Army in 2015. Till date, majority of the over 200 secondary school girls abducted at Chibok still remain in captivity. The objective of this study is to examine to what extent the Nigerian media has played the role of agenda setting through media reports that adhere to objectivity, truth and balance. This study adopted the content analysis method of media reports on security challenges and discovered that, such issues as media ownership, poor remuneration of media practitioners, corruption, religion and ethnicity tend to colour media reports which negatively impacts on the quality of and adherence to ethics of media coverage. This results in  the discerning public treating such reports with little or no trust. This report recommends the improvement in the remuneration of media practitioners, effective implementation of freedom of information act, regular media summits on coverage of conflicts, co-operation of the security agencies with the media and a strict adherence to ethics of media as definitive steps that need to be urgently implemented in restoring the lost trust in media coverage of conflicts in Nigeria. In addition, media bodies such as the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) must lead the fight in ensuring ethical journalism thrives and ownership does not become an albatross to the industry.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of Pictionary activities as a pedagogical tool for vocabulary acquisition among middle school learners. The investigative approach employed a quasi-experimental framework involving fifty-eight motivated seventh-grade pupils from MTs Al-Muttaqin Rengging, who were systematically allocated into treatment and comparison cohorts. Information gathering was conducted using initial and final assessments consisting of multiple-choice vocabulary items to monitor learners' academic development precisely. The treatment cohort experienced instruction via dynamic and entertaining Pictionary activities, whereas the comparison cohort followed traditional pedagogical approaches throughout six instructional sessions. The results showed a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.000 < 0.05), with the experimental group's average score (88.50) considerably higher than that of the control group (70.73). Both groups experienced significant improvement, but the experimental group showed greater overall improvement. The conclusion of the study clearly proves that the Pictionary game is significantly more effective than conventional methods in improving students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

The 2023 general elections in Nigeria marked a watershed moment in the country’s democratic trajectory, particularly with the adoption of technology-driven electoral management systems such as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV). While these innovations were introduced to enhance transparency, reduce electoral fraud, and strengthen public trust, their deployment exposed significant challenges that highlighted the shadow side of technology in electoral processes. This study interrogates the effects of technological tools on the credibility, efficiency, and legitimacy of the 2023 elections, drawing on media reports, official election data, and scholarly analyses. The study made use of secondary sources of Data collection. Secondary data were sourced from academic journals, INEC reports, election observer reports, news, articles, and policy papers. Databases such as ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and reputable news outlets were utilized. Findings reveal a paradox: although technology improved aspects of voter accreditation and broadened access to election results, systemic failures, infrastructural limitations, cyber vulnerabilities, and perceived manipulation undermined confidence in the process. The paper argues that the reliance on technology without adequate infrastructural support, legal clarity, and institutional integrity risks deepening public distrust rather than consolidating democratic gains. The study concludes that the 2023 Nigerian general election represents a pivotal case study in the intersection of technology and democracy in a developing nation. The introduction of advanced electoral technologies, such as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), was a bold step toward mdernzing Nigeria’s electoral process.

Abstract

The role of trust is becoming increasingly important in building consumer loyalty in the competitive e-commerce era. This study aims to analyze the role of trust mediation in the relationship between influencer credibility and shopping experience on repurchase intention in e-commerce. The study uses a quantitative approach with the variables of influencer credibility, shopping experience, trust, and repurchase intention. Data was collected through a questionnaire from 397 students from seven universities in Banda Aceh with the criteria of having made a transaction on the Shopee platform, as a representation of one of the largest e-commerce in Indonesia. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that influencer credibility and shopping experience had a positive effect on trust, and trust mediated the influence of both on repurchase intent. These findings confirm that trust is a key factor in increasing consumer loyalty in e-commerce. Practically, the study emphasizes the importance of building influencer credibility and creating a positive shopping experience to encourage repurchases. The originality of the research lies in its focus on students as a segment of potential consumers by placing trust as a mediating variable in the context of e-commerce.

Abstract

This study investigates how integrating Islamic educational values with knowledge management and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) can strengthen students’ creative thinking in the Industrial 4.0 era. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on Borg and Gall, the research used a quantitative method across five senior high schools in West Java with 316 student participants. Data were collected using validated questionnaires (Cronbach’s α = .944) and analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA in SPSS 21. The results reveal that PjBL integrated with Islamic values—such as ihsan (excellence), amanah (responsibility), and istiqamah (steadfastness)—effectively improves students’ creative thinking skills. No significant differences were found among the schools, indicating consistent model effectiveness. This study emphasizes that combining Islamic values with modern pedagogical and knowledge management strategies prepares students for the challenges of the Industrial 4.0 era while nurturing moral and intellectual excellence.

Abstract

Article 154 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana; KUHP) is classified as a political offense because it is directed against the state, aims at public harm (public wrong), and involves non-violent expression of enmity or contempt (oral, written, or visual). The Dutch Government, however, viewed Article 154 KUHP as undemocratic and contrary to free expression and opinion, arguing it was only justifiable in colonial Indonesia for their interests. This created a divergence between the legislative interests of a colonized nation and a democratic one regarding 'expression' or 'opinion'. The Netherlands has equivalent provisions in Articles 137a to 137e of their Criminal Code, focusing on public insult against authorities or specific groups. While the Dutch code formulates these as formal insult offenses, Indonesia’s Article 154 KUHP is broader, covering both formal and material insult. Notably, Articles 137a and 137b of the Dutch Criminal Code were revoked in 1978 for conflicting with Dutch freedom of expression, while Article 154 KUHP remains enforced in Indonesia because its elements are considered identical to Political Offenses.

Abstract

The globalization of film production has intensified cross-border collaborations, reshaping creative practices, industrial structures, and cultural representations within national cinema industries. This paper examines the global-local dynamics that underpin film collaborations between Nollywood filmmakers and their counterparts in Hollywood and Bollywood. Based on the theoretical postulation of Diffusion of Innovation, the paper interrogates how power relations, market access, technological exchange, and cultural identity are negotiated within these transnational partnerships. It argues that while such collaborations offer Nollywood opportunities for skills transfer, international visibility, and market expansion, they also reproduce asymmetrical power structures that privilege dominant global film industries. The study further explores how local narratives, aesthetics, and production practices are reconfigured to meet global market expectations, often resulting in hybridized cinematic forms. The paper concludes that global and local dynamics in film collaboration and production reveal the complex negotiations that shape contemporary transnational cinema. Nollywood’s collaborations with Hollywood and Bollywood demonstrate how global partnerships can simultaneously function as sites of opportunity and constraint, facilitating access to capital, technology, professional networks, and international markets, while also embedding unequal power relations that influence creative control, narrative framing, and cultural representation.

Abstract

The phenomenon of child marriage has become a frequently heard social problem and is widespread in various regions, including Jember Regency. The researcher aimed to determine a communication strategy to stop child marriage in Jember Regency by the Child Protection and Family Planning Agency (DP3AKB). This research employed qualitative methods through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that the Government Communications Agency, specifically the Jember Child Protection Department, identified several obstacles to ending child marriage in Jember. These challenges relate to the Jember City Child Protection Agency, particularly its belief in traditional customs, low public understanding, lack of human resources, and limited communication with various stakeholders. Therefore, a culturally based approach or religious leader-based approach is needed, given the community's belief in traditional customs. Volunteers need to be recruited to ensure that more parties are involved in child marriage prevention programs.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the theological and social meanings of the tamimah practice based on Qur'anic verses in Hamparan Perak, North Sumatra, through the perspective of the Living Qur'an. This tradition has long been an integral part of local Muslim religious life, functioning as a form of supplication and a symbol of spiritual closeness to Allah SWT. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using phenomenological and contextual hermeneutic paradigms. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary studies involving religious leaders, Tamimahmakers, and users within the community. The findings reveal that tamimah is not treated as a magical object but as a medium of prayer, tawassul, and tabarruk to strengthen faith and inner peace. The community makes a clear distinction between tamimah syar'i—derived from Qur'anic verses and the Prophet's supplications—and tamimah shirk, which contains mystical or magical elements. The verses commonly used, such as Ayat al-Kursi, Al-Fatihah, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas, are believed to possess spiritual power based on authentic hadiths and are used within the framework of ruqyah syar'iyyah. Socially, tamimah serves to strengthen communal solidarity, religious identity, and intergenerational transmission of Islamic values within coastal Muslim society. This study concludes that tamimah represents a tangible manifestation of the Living Qur'an, where the sacred text is not only read but also actualized in daily life through social and spiritual practices. The tradition reflects a harmonious synthesis between Islamic orthodoxy and local wisdom, showcasing the enduring religious-cultural resilience of Indonesian Muslims in responding to modern challenges.

Abstract

This comprehensive study presents an advanced integrated framework for assessing the structural integrity of ageing offshore platforms operating in tropical marine environments. The framework synergistically combines stateoftheart Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems, contemporary metocean data analysis, sophisticated probabilistic reliability assessment methodologies, and cuttingedge digital twin implementation. Over an extensive 18month monitoring period conducted on a representative ageing offshore platform, critical findings emerged: contemporary environmental loads exceeded original design specifications by 1525%, splash zone corrosion rates reached 0.32 mm/year (approximately 160% of design assumptions), and reliability indices for ultimate strength under operating conditions ranged between 2.62.9, below the ISO 19902 target of 3.0. The implemented digital twin system demonstrated exceptional performance with 94% accuracy in stress prediction during extreme weather events and enabled realtime visualization of structural behavior. This research provides a scientifically rigorous, datadriven foundation for life extension decisions and optimized maintenance strategies for ageing offshore infrastructure in tropical regions, representing a significant advancement over conventional assessment methodologies.
