Abstract

The coffee shop business is increasingly mushrooming in Lombok, and this causes coffee shops to carry out many promotional strategies to compete with competitors and bring in many customers. Coffee shops carry out many kinds of promotions through social media by targeting a diverse target audience. The promotions carried out by coffee shops target the community for cooperation. Approaching the community is a challenge for coffee shops. This study aims to conduct a communication audit on the discount promotion program for Doto coffee bicycle users. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method with a communication audit approach using the SOSTAC model. SOSTAC approach has six stages: Situation analysis, Objective, Strategy, Tactics, Actions, and Control. The results of the communication audit state that the promotional strategy carried out by Doto Coffee has used promotional principles, although many things could be improved. Overall problem. The problem is more dominant in the need for more variation in Doto Coffee's promotional strategies to bring in the bicycle community.

The recommendations given from this research to Doto Coffee are expected to approach using community relations and social media as a promotional medium to bring in the community and increase community trust.

Abstract

Nigerian students are at a crossroads because of the rapid erosion of the value system in Nigeria, not because of corruption, unemployment, and poverty. The emergence of social media and peer influence has a different impact. This study explored the effects of social media and peer pressure on moral disengagement among secondary school students in Onitsha North LGA of Anambra State. The research sample size was 400 secondary school students selected through a multi-stage sampling technique from a population of 1,400 secondary school students in 12 government secondary schools in the Onitsha Education Zone. The results show that the presence of participants on social media, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc., is quite high, with more than half of the population 167 (50.9%) always using social media. These findings also reveal the high use of social media among students, which may hurt student life, especially moral life. It was also confirmed that friendship and fun were the main satisfactions students got from social media, with a combined rate of 68% for 238 students. In addition, peer pressure has a negative (but not significant) impact on students' moral disengagement. However, this impact did not reach a substantial proportion at β = 0.06, p > 0.05 (n = 389), which means that the results did not support the first hypothesis, so it was rejected. Social media has a positive and significant impact on students' moral disengagement at β = 0.49, p < 0.05 (n = 389). These findings reveal a directly proportional impact of social media use on students' moral disengagement. It is recommended that parents, teachers, and other guardians regulate internet exposure via social media in teenagers and young adults to prevent them from becoming too busy or becoming addicted.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the dynamics of irregular migration as a psycho-philosophical irony in the quest for practical global equality. The research explores three fundamental issues in irregular migration bordering on the characteristics of migrants, the causes and motives of migrants, and the relationship of irregular migration with global perceptions of equality. Drawing on the Neo-Classical migration theory by Hicks (1932) and the Dual Labor Market theory by Ravenstein (1889), this study establishes that the unequal distribution of capital and labor at the macro level that leads to inequality in living conditions is a major factor of all migration. The study identifies that the characteristics and motives of migrants are identical to the problems associated with low socio-economic status which are the main drivers of migration. Furthermore, the study asserts that areas characterized by irregular migrants are consistent with the Human Capital Development Index (HCDI) classification that prioritizes living standard conditions across countries. As a benchmark, the HCDI supports the theoretical basis for high irregular migration in these regions triggered by the imbalance between countries at the lower end of the index and those at the top of the HCDI.  It is suggested that the global policy on aid to poor countries should lean towards domestication of capacity building in such countries to improve living standards and employment and to mitigate the current global antithesis caused by terrorism and insecurity whose impact is unfavorable to world peace.

Abstract

In the modern political context, the pattern of political party relations is an important aspect that influences voter attitudes and preferences. This relates to a rational perspective, where the mechanism of the relationship between political parties and society is a symbiotic relationship of mutualism. This research aims to determine the real influence of the pattern of political party relations on people's voting decisions ahead of the 2024 elections. In the upcoming 2024 elections, the General Elections Commission (KPU) determines 17 political parties as participants. With a large number of political parties, the reality of the relationship between political parties and voters becomes interesting. This study uses a quantitative approach by taking populations from two islands in Indonesia, namely Sumatra and all of Java. The research method used is non-proportional random sampling. Respondents came from 9 provinces in Indonesia with a total of 225 respondents. Variable X in this study is the relationship between political parties and the community and variable Y is the decision to vote. The results of the regression test obtained were Significance F = 0.000 <alpha (0.05) so it can be concluded that variable X has an influence on variable Y. Furthermore, based on the Multiple R value = 0.454, the correlation between the two variables is included in the medium category.

The Plan and Do stages are very prominent, while the Check and Action stages are less prominent due to ineffective communication.

Abstract

This research aims to determine how local politicians carry out the political communication strategy to win the political constellation of district/city-level legislative elections. This research uses a qualitative approach; in collecting data, researchers chose politicians from the Gerindra party named Muhasbih, who fought in the Polewali Mandar district legislative elections in the 2024 elections, as research subjects. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with the politician and his success team, who actively participated in winning the 2024 election. The results of this study indicate that effective communication in winning political constellations in legislative elections at the district/city level requires understanding the audience and local political dynamics. Through in-depth interviews with politicians and their success teams, it was found that the success of political communication strategies lies in delivering relevant, measurable, and understandable messages to voters. In addition, it was found that the presence of politicians in the field and direct interaction with voters is very influential in building personal relationships and trust. This suggests that the human side and direct involvement in local politics play a crucial role in creating emotional bonds between politicians and voters, which can influence voters' decisions inside the voting booth. Furthermore, the results of this study also highlight the need for adopting strategies that are dynamic and responsive to political and technological developments. Although local politicians such as Muhasbih do not use social media in their campaigns, it is important to continuously monitor trends and adapt political communication strategies as needed as the political environment changes.

Results showed that, at an average of 74.0%, citizens are exposed to the “all eyes on the judiciary” Twitter campaigns on the outcome of the presidential election petition tribunal in Nigeria to a large extent. Findings revealed that, at a mean of 1.8 (N = 372), the “all eyes on the judiciary” Twitter campaigns did not influence the outcome of the presidential election petition tribunal in Nigeria. It was concluded that as much as the exposure of respondents to the campaigns was high, so was its usefulness. The campaign could not influence the outcome of the presidential election petition tribunal in Nigeria.

The results showed a high level of validity for the digital comics, with 87% of media experts rating the digital comics as valid, 95% of material experts rating the digital comics as highly valid, and 76% of language experts rating the digital comics as valid. In addition, teacher and student evaluations yielded very high levels of validity, at 90% and 92% respectively. These findings collectively demonstrate the potential of digital comics to effectively communicate the risks associated with mental disorders in the context of bullying, especially among adolescent victims and perpetrators. This research underscores the importance of digital comics as a valuable tool for mental health education and awareness among adolescents, ultimately contributing to the fostering of more supportive and inclusive school environments.
