Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of WhatsApp as a communication medium for boarding house students. Data collection involved observations, interviews, and documentation with three students living in boarding houses in Cirebon City who regularly use WhatsApp in their daily activities. The results of the research show that WhatsApp has an important role in facilitating the dissemination of information among boarding school students. The frequency, tone, and content of interactions on WhatsApp have an impact on social bonds, social cohesion, sense of belonging, and conflict resolution. In addition, the negative aspects of WhatsApp use, such as miscommunication, digital conflict, or issues of privacy and trust, and how these impact interpersonal relationships among a group living group. Furthermore, it lays the groundwork for future research on the integration of digital tools in improving the quality of life and communication efficiency in residential educational settings, contributing to the broader discourse on technology's impact on education and student well-being.

Abstract

Smartphones are becoming more ingrained in daily life, and the way they are marketed on platforms like YouTube will continue to shape societal attitudes toward technology, progress, and consumerism. This study explores the formation of myths and ideologies in smartphone advertisements from YouTube, utilizing semiotic analysis as its primary framework. The study focuses on two specific smartphone ads from YouTube: the Oppo Reno 12 campaign titled "Unbox The Future," and the Vivo Y28 campaign emphasizing "Endless Battery Life." The study utilizes Barthes' levels of meaning, along with insights from Eco and Lakoff, to reveal the ways in which smartphone advertisements construct and propagate narratives of progress, innovation, and technological superiority, all while embedding these messages within broader ideological and cultural implications of digital marketing in shaping consumer perceptions and behaviours. It calls for further investigation into the long-term cultural impacts of these advertising strategies and their role in reinforcing or challenging existing social norms and values in our increasingly digitized world. In doing so, this study not only contributes to the field of semiotics but also provides a critical lens through which we can examine the cultural power of digital advertising.

The research contributes to understanding the relationship between employee competence and organizational performance within government agencies, especially in the Department of Transportation. Moreover, longitudinal studies could be conducted to assess the long-term effects of personnel development programs on organizational performances over time. This study provides valuable insights for improving efficiency and effectiveness in public sector operations. The study also highlights the importance of investing in training and development programs to enhance employee competencies, ultimately leading to better service delivery and achievement of organizational goals.

Abstract

This study focuses on the experiences of married women through the ta'aruf process to understand how they interpret religious, social, and emotional roles in building marital satisfaction and how they manage the challenges that arise in domestic life. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews through Zoom Meeting. Data were analyzed thematically through transcription, grouping based on reward and cost dimensions, and interpretation of the meaning of respondents' experiences to identify general patterns in the dynamics of social exchange during marriage. The findings show that religion plays a key role in marriage-related decision-making among respondents, namely internal factors (attraction and relationship with the partner), external factors (family, socio-economic, or cultural), and belief factors (religious values). This study also emphasizes the concept that conflict can be perceived simultaneously as an interpersonal cost to the partner, as well as a reward in the spiritual dimension. These findings provide new insights into how couples manage marital challenges in a religious context.

Abstract

The Indonesian diaspora continues to fight for the right to dual citizenship in various countries around the world. The research aims to explore the concepts of limited dual citizenship and the concept of dual citizenship within the context of India with a study of cross-country analysis of Indonesia and India. The study employs normative legal research to analyze dual citizenship policies in these two countries, focusing on the relevant laws and regulations of each country. Furthermore, it utilizes descriptive comparative analysis to provide a comprehensive and systematic comparison of dual citizenry policies between the two countries. The results show that the Indonesian government's policy on the demand for dual citizenship is different in both countries. In addition, there are differences and similarities in the approaches taken by both countries, especially in the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) policy and the dual citizenship policy. This research could provide valuable insights for Indonesia in crafting similar policies that facilitate easier access and engagement for its diasa.
