Abstract

This study examines the experiences of individuals with Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) or individuals who have had near-death experiences. This phenomenon is still without a concrete definition and clear mechanism, almost like a mystery, as it is not perceived by others, only felt by the individuals who experience it. There are few individuals with near-death experiences due to severe illness or tragic accidents. The Near-Death Experience phenomenon falls into the category of unique and rare events, with a relatively small number of studies from the perspective of transcendental communication in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to understand and describe how individuals interpret their experiences of transcendental communication when in a coma or abnormal consciousness. This study uses a phenomenological approach with three subjects. The results of this study are expected to deeply explore the experiences of individuals' transcendental communication with their Creator during near-death conditions. These experiences serve as lessons for everyone that death will surely come, hence the need to prepare with good deeds and worship. To delve deeper into the description of the near-death transcendental communication experiences, in-depth interviews were conducted with subjects who voluntarily agreed to participate. The subjects were selected using purposive sampling techniques, specifically snowball sampling. The study results indicate that the transcendental communication experienced by the three subjects involved communicating with their God, their Creator, resulting in profound meanings for them. All three subjects perceived their near-death condition as a pivotal point for behavioral change towards a better direction in life.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the framing of news by Republika.co.id and Idntimes.com regarding the phenomenon of hacking Bank Syariah Indonesia by LockBit 3.0 Ransomware. This research was conducted because the hacking issue of Bank Syariah Indonesia became the major topic of public interest and impacted the perceived security of data and funds. The sensitive issue of security hacking certainly has economic relevance for both the public and investors of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The contribution of this study is to provide a nuanced understanding of how different online media outlets frame the same cybersecurity incident, thereby offering insights into the role of media narratives in shaping public perceptions and trust in the banking sector in the digital era. The research method used is a qualitative approach with Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model, which has four major elements to interpret the news: define problem, diagnose causes, make moral judgement, and treatment recommendation. The result showed that Republika.co.id sharply criticized Bank Syariah Indonesia in its reporting, but did not emphasize the ransom demand made by LockBit. The criticism in its reporting humanistically and in favor of the community. Meanwhile, Idntimes.com attempted to downplay the inevitability of cyberattacks in the IT world, and framed the news of Bank Syariah Indonesia hacking by LockBit by playing on public emotions using clickbait, rather than highlighting the mitigation steps taken by Bank Syariah Indonesia.

Abstract

The effective marketing approach that has gained popularity in recent decades as an innovative strategy to enhancing consumer engagement and boost visibility is co-branding, where two or more brands collaborate to create unique products or marketing campaigns that combine their strengths and appeal. This study aims to examine the influence of co-branding between McDonald's and NewJeans on fandom purchase behavior, particularly focusing on how brand image and co-branding shape consumer attitudes and behavior. Using an explanatory quantitative approach, 120 members of the NewJeans fandom in Indonesia were surveyed. Data were analyzed using Smart PLS, and mediation effects were tested with the Sobel test. The findings reveal a significant impact of both McDonald's and NewJeans brand image on co-branding campaign, which in turn positively influences fandom attitudes toward McDonald’s K-Meals and drives purchase behavior. Additionally, Co-branding fully mediates the relationship between McDonald’s brand image and fandom attitudes, while it partially mediates the relationship between NewJeans’s brand image and fandom attitudes. Moreover, attitudes towards K-Meals serve as a partial mediator between the co-branding campaign and purchase behavior. Overall, this study highlights the significance of strategic co-branding campaigns as a collaborative marketing approach to strengthen consumer engagement, especially within K-pop fandom communities.

Abstract

The researchers carried out a comparative rhetorical analysis of Peter Obi (PO) and Bola Ahmed Tinubu's (BAT) social media campaigns during the 2023 Nigerian presidential election. Utilizing a qualitative textual analysis framework, the research focused on all campaign messages by Peter Obi and Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) posted on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) from September 28, 2022, to February 23, 2023, identifying a total of 223 messages, with 12 purposively selected for in-depth analysis. These texts were chosen for their representativeness of shared ideologies and their engagement potential, providing valuable insights into the candidates' communicative approaches. The study highlights the contrasting political ideologies embodied by Obi and Tinubu, as they emerged as frontrunners from the Labour Party and All Progressives Congress, respectively. Employing multiple coding techniques, the analysis categorized rhetorical elements, focusing on pathos, ethos, logos, call to action and themes of transparency and accountability, while also conducting sentiment analysis to classify the expressed sentiments. Findings reveal that Tinubu effectively leveraged a combination of logos, pathos, and ethos to establish credibility and connect with voters through logical policy proposals and emotional appeals, whereas Obi's campaign emphasized accountability, unity, and logical critique, resonating deeply with his audience through emotive language and local expressions. The researchers recommended that for political candidates prioritize emotional connections in their messaging. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing novel insights into the rhetorical strategies employed by political candidates in Nigeria, highlighting the significance of emotional connections and data-driven approaches in shaping electoral outcomes.
