Abstract

This study focuses on multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) of advertisements in three ASEAN countries: Myanmar, Indonesia, and Thailand. The aim of this study is to identify significant differences between Myanmar, Indonesia and Thailand’s advertisements and the messages that they convey in each country. This study used a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on detailed observation and analysis of video advertisements. The results show variations in every aspect of the genre including field, mode, and tenor that reflect the cultural and social values ​​of each country. In addition, this study also reveals the ideology represented in the advertisements, which contributes to a deeper understanding of how advertisements function not only as a marketing tool but also as a media to convey social and cultural messages. Advertisements from Myanmar, Indonesia, and Thailand reflect unique cultural values ​​through distinct approaches in narrative, visuals, and ideology. Myanmar emphasizes progress and innovation, Indonesia highlights warmth and togetherness, while Thailand focuses on joy and quality. These strategies effectively convey their messages and resonate with their respective audiences, showcasing the cultural identity of each country. The finding of this study is the importance of considering the context of cultural analysis in advertising, as well as empowerment for marketing practitioners in designing more effective campaigns in the ASEAN market.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences and the effect of the scaffolding-assisted Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on the narrative text creative writing skills of 7th-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Denpasar. The study was motivated by students' low writing proficiency, evidenced by the fact that 60% of students struggled to develop ideas, structure plotlines, and use appropriate language. The experiment used quasi-experimental design specifically the Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population consisted of all 7th grade students totally (273 individuals), and the sample was selected using cluster random sampling: Class VII A (39 students) served as the experimental group receiving scaffolding-assisted PjBL, while Class VII B (40 students) served as the control group taught using a model involving lectures, assignments, and presentations. The narrative text creative writing assessment instrument utilized a rubric with a 0–20 scale (maximum score of 20); this instrument was validated by experts and demonstrated a Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.76. Data were analyzed using the Independent Samples T-test to determine differences in creative writing skills between the experimental and control groups, and the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) test to examine the effect of the scaffolding-assisted PjBL model while controlling for students' initial ability based on pretest scores. Hypothesis testing results showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant difference in creative writing skills between the two groups. The average post-test score for the experimental class was 16.38 (Good category), higher than that of the control class, which scored 14.65 (Fair category). Improvements in writing quality were observed across all indicators, including content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and writing mechanics. The study concludes that the scaffolding-assisted Project-Based Learning model is effective and significantly improves the creative narrative writing skills of 7th-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Denpasar; therefore, it is recommended as an innovative instructional alternative to address the issue of students' low creative writing proficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the media representation of Chinese President Xi Jinping in a New York Times article titled “Trump’s Trade War Puts Bromance with Xi Beyond Reach” through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Using van Dijk’s model, the research focuses on micro-level analysis, including macrostructure, microstructure, and superstructure. It applies linguistic tools such as actor description, level of description, and rhetorical devices. The findings reveal how the media constructs an image of Xi Jinping as an authoritarian leader with an anti-American stance and cautious diplomacy. The superstructure analysis highlights the use of subjective commentary and expert opinions, reinforcing a negative portrayal. This suggests ideological bias in Western media, particularly in how foreign leaders are depicted. The consistent negativity across macrostructure, microstructure, and superstructure reflects this tendency. The study emphasizes the role of discourse in shaping public opinion and recommends future comparative research on how U.S. leaders are portrayed in Chinese media to foster a more balanced understanding in global media narratives.

Abstract

This study aims to diagnose the vulnerability of the smallholder palm oil business model in the forest areas of Central Kalimantan Province and formulate its restructuring strategy through the Social Forestry policy. The land overlap issue covering 179,258 hectares places smallholders at high legal and economic risks following the enactment of the Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja). The research method used is descriptive qualitative through an integrative approach using the Business Model Canvas (BMC), PESTEL, and Porter’s Five Forces frameworks. The diagnostic results reveal that the existing business model is highly vulnerable due to macro-regulatory constraints and the smallholders' weak bargaining power against informal markets. As a public governance solution, the Social Forestry policy through the Jangka Benah (transition period) scheme is capable of restructuring the elements of the smallholders' BMC blocks. This transformation alters the Key Resources aspect through long-term land utilization legality, improves Key Partnerships by eliminating middlemen, enhances the bargaining power of the product's Value Proposition, and realizes a sustainable, traceable, and legally compliant smallholder palm oil business model.

Abstract

Bengkulu occupied a strategic position where local trading powers, the international pepper trade, and European colonial rivalries converged from the seventeenth century onward, giving rise to two distinct fortification traditions: the indigenous Rejang kutai—bamboo-fenced settlements (reduai) integrated with the community's social-cosmological structure, and the colonial fortifications of the British East India Company (EIC): Fort York, Fort Marlborough, Fort Anna, and Fort Linau. This paper builds a comparative interpretive framework for these two fortification typologies within a conflict archaeology lens, while mapping existing data gaps. As a conceptual study, it employs a qualitative approach based on secondary data synthesis, prior excavation reports, colonial archives, and ethnographic studies without primary fieldwork. Findings indicate that the two systems represent distinct epistemologies of conflict space: the Rejang kutai reflects an organic, community-scale defensive logic embedded in the landscape, while EIC forts reflect a geometric, centralized logic responding to larger geopolitical threats. The study also reveals significant disparities in the preservation of the three colonial forts, Marlborough well-maintained, Anna damaged as symbolic rejection, and Linau physically vanished and mythologized, analyzed through memory archaeology and critical heritage studies. The paper contributes to broadening the scope of Indonesian conflict archaeology, long dominated by colonial fortification studies, and proposes a primary field research agenda for the physical remains of Rejang kutai.

Abstract

Malassezia spp. are lipophilic yeasts that constitute part of the normal skin flora but are also implicated in various dermatological conditions, including pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and folliculitis. In recent years, decreased in vitro antifungal susceptibility has been increasingly reported, potentially contributing to therapeutic failure and disease recurrence. Literature evaluating the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) patterns of azole agents and the molecular mechanisms of the decreased susceptibility in Malassezia spp. remains limited. Therefore, this literature review examines scientific articles related to the antifungal susceptibility of commonly used azoles against skin infections caused by Malassezia spp. Relevant publications were analyzed, focusing on in vitro studies, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, resistance mechanisms, and strategies for preventing antifungal resistance. Several studies demonstrate increased MIC values, particularly for azole antifungals such as fluconazole and ketoconazole. Fluconazole exhibited the highest MIC values (4 to >64 mg/L; MIC50 32 mg/L; MIC90 64 mg/L), whereas posaconazole showed the lowest (0.06–2 mg/L; MIC50 0.125 mg/L; MIC90 0.5 mg/L). Ketoconazole and itraconazole demonstrated relatively good antifungal activity, while amphotericin B showed moderate efficacy. Compared to Candida spp., Malassezia spp. generally exhibited higher MIC values, suggesting reduced susceptibility. Resistance mechanisms include ERG11 gene mutations, increased efflux pump activity, and biofilm formation. Decreased antifungal susceptibility in Malassezia spp. represents an emerging clinical concern with significant implications for treatment outcomes. Rational therapeutic approaches, including antifungal stewardship, susceptibility-guided therapy, and combination strategies, are essential to prevent resistance and improve clinical effectiveness.

Abstract

This study developed a web-based decision support assistant for sectoral stock technical analysis using Walk-Forward Analysis and Large Language Model-based explanations. The system was designed to identify the best-performing technical indicator for each sector based on historical out-of-sample evaluation and to present the results in an interpretable form. The study evaluated Moving Average Crossover, Moving Average Convergence Divergence, and Relative Strength Index using daily historical data from 40 stocks representing the Financial, Technology, Industrial, and Energy sectors on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The evaluation applied a fixed-length rolling scheme consisting of a six-month in-sample period, a three-month out-of-sample period, and a three-month window shift. Signal performance was assessed using Average Forward Return at T+1, T+3, T+5, and T+10 trading days, with Directional Accuracy as the primary metric. The results showed that Relative Strength Index achieved the highest observed out-of-sample performance in the Financial sector with a Directional Accuracy of 51.52%, while Moving Average Crossover achieved the highest performance in the Technology, Industrial, and Energy sectors with 50.00%, 57.14%, and 71.43%, respectively. The system presented sector-based indicator results, BUY, SELL, or HOLD signals, performance metrics, price visualizations, explanatory narratives, and PDF reports. All 20 predefined Black Box Testing scenarios were completed successfully, User Acceptance Testing achieved a success rate of 99.83%, and the System Usability Scale produced a score of 78.63, which was categorized as Good, Grade B+, and Acceptable. The findings indicate that technical indicator performance varies across sectors and evaluation periods, supporting the use of chronological out-of-sample validation in sector-specific technical analysis.

Abstract

Performance management systems aim to align individual contributions with organizational objectives through goal setting, monitoring, coaching, feedback, evaluation, and development. However, formal implementation does not necessarily ensure system effectiveness or improved employee performance. This study examines the relationships among performance management system implementation, performance management system effectiveness, and employee performance among Consumer Relationship Officers at a bank. A quantitative approach involved 174 Consumer Relationship Officers as respondents and 63 Business Managers as performance evaluators. The officers assessed performance management system implementation and system effectiveness, while the managers independently evaluated employee performance. The proposed relationships were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Performance management system implementation comprised six stages: prerequisites, performance planning, performance execution, performance assessment, performance review, and performance renewal and recontracting. System effectiveness was measured through fairness, goal clarity, feedback, accuracy, and usefulness, while employee performance encompassed task, adaptive, contextual, and counterproductive work behavior. The results show that performance management system implementation positively and significantly affects both system effectiveness and employee performance. System effectiveness also positively and significantly influences employee performance and provides complementary partial mediation between system implementation and employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of moving beyond procedural compliance by ensuring that performance management practices promote fairness, clarity, credible feedback, accurate information, and practical value, supported by managerial evaluation for a more comprehensive assessment of employee performance.
