Abstract

Instagram has increasingly been utilized by public service institutions as a digital public relations platform to build and maintain public trust. This study aims to analyze digital public relations practices through Instagram in building public trust on the @damkarjogjaistimewa account. The research employs a qualitative approach using descriptive content analysis of Instagram posts representing institutional communication activities. Data were collected through non-participant observation of visual content and captions, which were then analyzed based on the theoretical framework of public trust encompassing competence, care, and integrity. The findings reveal that operational documentation content is the most dominant category compared to educational and informational content. This dominance indicates that the institution’s digital communication strategy emphasizes the visibility of real performance as the primary foundation for building public trust. Educational and informational content serves as supporting elements that strengthen communication through safety literacy and information transparency. This study concludes that digital public relations practices oriented toward performance representation, safety education, and transparent communication constitute an effective strategy for emergency service institutions in building public trust in the digital era.

Abstract

Given the high level of risk in the cement industry, occupational safety is an important component. The purpose of this study was to investigate how employee behavior at the Tuban Group Operation is influenced by safety leadership culture. Interviews were conducted with several employees who had different responsibilities within one unit, and the data were collected using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis supported by NVivo 12 Pro software. The findings of the study indicate that two main factors—internal factors consisting of commitment, communication, coordination, attention, and leaders’ role modeling, and external factors consisting of compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), company policies, and safety golden rules—have a significant impact on employee perceptions of the safety culture built by leaders at the Semen Group Operation Tuban factory. Both factors encourage safe behavior in the workplace, increase employee awareness, and create a positive safety climate. This study can serve as a guide for creating a sustainable and comprehensive safety-oriented workplace culture that supports the development of a more effective safety leadership approach.

Abstract

Bilateral relations between South Korea and Indonesia have developed significantly in the fields of economy, culture, and tourism. One of the policies attracting attention is the visa-free policy for Indonesian citizens visiting South Korea, particularly through Jeju Island. This policy not only aims to increase tourist arrivals but also functions as an instrument of public diplomacy to strengthen people-to-people relations between the two countries. This study aims to analyze how the visa-free policy is positioned as a public diplomacy communication strategy of South Korea toward Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative approach using a single case study design. Data were collected through document analysis of official South Korean government documents, Korea Tourism Organization reports, embassy press releases, and Indonesian media coverage during the 2014–2024 period. Data analysis techniques include thematic analysis, framing analysis, and discourse analysis to identify the diplomatic communication meanings embedded in the policy. The findings indicate that the visa-free policy functions as a message of openness, a soft power instrument, and a mechanism for strengthening interactions between the societies of both countries. The policy also expands cross-border communication through the involvement of non-state actors such as tourism industries and cultural communities. In conclusion, the visa-free policy is not merely an immigration regulation but an effective public diplomacy strategy in building a positive image of South Korea in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the development of Sosromenduran Tourism Village in improving the economic welfare of the local community. Sosromenduran Tourism Village, located in the Municipality of Yogyakarta, was developed as a form of community-based tourism by actively involving the community in economic and tourism activities. The approach used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving eight informants from three categories, namely the management of Sosromenduran Tourism Village, community members who are involved, and those who are not involved. Data analysis is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the role of tourism village development has a positive impact on economic welfare indicators, including increased income, job creation, MSME growth, access to training and skills, and the availability of infrastructure and public facilities. In addition, this village also encourages the promotion of local products and cultural preservation through various tourism events. This research emphasizes the importance of community empowerment in creating inclusive and sustainable tourism and shows that Sosromenduran Tourism Village can serve as a model for community-based local economic development. However, challenges are still encountered; limited public participation remains a challenge in itself, and fluctuations in the number of tourists during certain periods can affect income stability.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategies used by English Language Education lecturers at Esa Unggul University to foster self-directed learning (SDL) among students. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis with four lecturers selected based on SDL-related criteria. Thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti revealed ten strategies: collaborative learning, formative assessment, technology integration, cooperative learning, metacognitive skills development, task ownership, constructive feedback, problem-based learning, resource utilization, and climate setting. Collaborative learning, formative assessment, and technology integration emerged as the most consistently applied across instruments, reflecting a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered approaches that encourage peer collaboration, digital engagement, and formative feedback. However, strategies that develop autonomy and metacognitive regulation were less evident in classroom practices. The findings highlight the need for continuous professional development to strengthen lecturers’ capacity to integrate deeper SDL principles into their teaching, thereby supporting students’ independence, critical thinking, and lifelong learning skills.

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technology in education has introduced new challenges, particularly for junior high school students learning English. Technostress, defined as the stress caused by difficulties in adapting to new technologies, has emerged as a significant factor affecting students' emotional responses in digital learning environments. This study aims to explore the relationship between technostress and language learning anxiety, focusing on Thai junior high school students. The research employs a quantitative explanatory design using Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) to analyze how various dimensions of technostress, such as techno-anxiety, techno-overload, and techno-uncertainty, contribute to anxiety in learning English across four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between technostress and language learning anxiety, with techno-uncertainty and techno-anxiety identified as the most impactful stressors. The study highlights the need for educators to minimize platform switching, create error-friendly learning environments, and maintain consistent digital routines to reduce anxiety. The results provide practical insights for developing more emotionally supportive digital learning designs, ensuring that technology-based education is both effective and psychologically sustainable for young learners.

Abstract

Vitiligo is a multifactorial skin disorder associated with oxidative stress and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya L.) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may inhibit its pathogenesis. This research aims to analyze the effect of papaya leaf extract on MDA levels in vitiligo model mice. This was an in vivoexperimental study using C57BL/6 mice divided into control and treatment groups, including papaya leaf extract (1500 mg) and/or 0.05% clobetasol propionate. Vitiligo was induced with 40% monobenzone for 16 days, followed by 28 days of treatment. Serum and tissue MDA levels were measured using ELISA and analyzed with the Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn tests (p < 0.05). Administration of 40% monobenzone cream significantly increased serum MDA levels in vitiligo model mice (p ? 0.001) compared to mice without vitiligo. The administration of papaya leaf extract significantly reduced serum MDA levels (p ? 0.001) in vitiligo mice compared to untreated vitiligo mice. Tissue MDA levels in vitiligo mice given combination therapy of papaya leaf extract and 0.05% clobetasol propionate cream were significantly different (p ? 0.001) compared to those receiving papaya leaf extract alone or standard topical therapy. Papaya leaf extract lowers serum MDA levels in vitiligo model mice. Tissue MDA levels in vitiligo model mice were lower with combination therapy of papaya leaf extract and 0.05% clobetasol propionate cream compared to papaya leaf extract alone or standard topical therapy.

Abstract

Parents who raise children with special needs often experience various psychological challenges that may affect their psychological well-being. The increasing number of children with special needs in Indonesia highlights the importance of understanding factors that support parents’ mental health. One factor believed to play an important role is resilience, which refers to the ability of individuals to adapt and remain strong when facing difficult situations. This study aims to examine the effect of resilience on psychological well-being among parents of children with special needs in Berau Regency. The study employed a quantitative inferential approach with a sample of 186 parents selected using a snowball sampling technique. Data were collected using a resilience scale developed by the researchers and the Psychological Well-Being Scale based on Ryff’s model. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression after meeting the assumptions of normality and linearity. The results showed that resilience had a significant positive effect on psychological well-being (B = 0.485; p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination indicated that resilience contributed 60.8% to the variance in psychological well-being. These findings suggest that higher levels of resilience are associated with higher psychological well-being among parents of children with special needs. Therefore, strengthening resilience is important for supporting parents’ psychological health and improving their ability to cope with parenting challenges.

Abstract

In an increasingly dynamic and uncertain global business landscape, risk management has become essential to maintaining operational continuity and institutional performance. This study examines the dynamics of credit risk and credit quality and their impact on institutional performance in the banking and Fast- Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors. The objective of this research is to analyze the dynamics of credit risk and credit quality in the banking and FMCG sectors, Explore the Shift in Research Focus Post the 2008 Global Financial crisis, and provide practical recommendations for more adaptive risk management. This study employed bibliometric and content analysis approaches to evaluate existing literature on credit risk in both sectors. The analysis also includes scholarly collaboration and research trends from 2008 to 2016. The findings indicate a sharp increase in academic interest in this topic following the 2008 financial crisis, peaking in 2016. Research focus has shifted from financial stability to the integration of credit risk within non-financial industries such as FMCG. The Battle of the analysis also reveals fragmented scholarly networks. This study emphasizes the importance of applying adaptive, data-driven, and integrated risk mitigation theories to support the resilience of both the financial and real sectors. The Battle of the findings contribute to the development of a cross-sectoral framework and provide practical recommendations for contextual risk management.

Abstract

Myopia is a refractive disorder whose prevalence continues to increase globally and represents a significant eye health problem among adolescents and young adults. In addition to genetic and environmental factors, metabolic factors are thought to play a role in the development and severity of myopia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and leptin levels and the degree of myopia in students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of North Sumatra. This study employed an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach involving 50 students with myopia. The data collected included BMI, visual acuity, degree of myopia, and serum leptin levels, and were analyzed using Chi-square, one-way ANOVA, and Kruskal–Wallis tests based on data distribution. The results showed a significant relationship between BMI and leptin levels (p < 0.001), with leptin levels increasing as BMI rose, particularly in the obese group. BMI was also significantly associated with the degree of myopia (p < 0.001), with moderate to severe myopia being more common in obese subjects. Additionally, leptin levels were significantly associated with myopia severity (p < 0.001), with higher levels observed in moderate and severe myopia compared to mild cases. The study concludes that BMI and leptin levels are associated with the degree of myopia in college students, indicating the role of metabolic factors in myopia progression. These findings may serve as a basis for developing prevention and management strategies through a multidisciplinary approach that includes nutritional and metabolic aspects.
