Abstract

This research aims to analyze the phenomenon of culture shock in intercultural marriages in North Serpong District. The focus of the research is on the communication dynamics of couples with different ethnic and regional backgrounds in managing differences in values, traditions, and interaction styles. This research uses a qualitative approach with a multiple-case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and analyzed using pattern-matching techniques and cross-case synthesis, with reference to the Anxiety/Uncertainty Management (AUM) Theory developed by William B. Gudykunst. The results of the study show that couples experience adaptation stages that follow the U-curve pattern, namely honeymoon, crisis, recovery, and adjustment. The crisis phase is the most vulnerable point, characterized by clashes in verbal communication styles, differences in work values, and extended family interventions. Uncertainty arises in the form of difficulty predicting a partner’s responses, while anxiety manifests as emotional tension and recurring conflict. The recovery process takes place through negotiation of meaning, self-disclosure, and the formation of mutual agreements as strategies to reduce uncertainty. At the adjustment stage, couples build a hybrid family culture that integrates the positive values of each cultural background. The heterogeneous and individualistic urban environment in North Serpong also accelerates the adaptation process due to the lack of external social intervention. This research extends the concept of culture shock to the domestic–interpersonal realm and provides practical implications for strengthening intercultural communication literacy in multicultural.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital financial services has reshaped financial access for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Despite their substantial contribution to national economic growth, many MSME owners remain vulnerable to digital financial exclusion due to gaps in digital financial capabilities. This study examines the relationship between Digital Financial Literacy (DFL) and Digital Financial Inclusion (DFI) among Indonesian MSMEs, incorporating Financial Behavior (FB) as a mediating variable and Education Level (EL) as a moderating variable. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 121 MSME owners and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that digital financial literacy has a positive and significant direct effect on both financial behavior and digital financial inclusion. However, financial behavior does not significantly influence digital financial inclusion and does not mediate the relationship between digital financial literacy and digital financial inclusion. Furthermore, education level does not moderate the relationship between digital financial literacy and digital financial inclusion, suggesting that the impact of digital financial literacy is consistent across different educational backgrounds. These results highlight that digital financial literacy serves as the primary driver of digital financial inclusion among MSMEs in Indonesia, while behavioral transformation and formal education play a more limited role. The study underscores the importance of strengthening practical digital financial literacy initiatives as a direct strategy to enhance inclusive participation in the digital financial ecosystem.

Abstract

Humor is an effective tool for delivering messages and building relatable communication in today’s fast-paced world. This research aims to analyze the political communication messages in Pandji Pragiwaksono’s stand-up comedy Mens Rea, which aired on Netflix, based on a paid show in August 2025 in Jakarta. The analysis is conducted by examining how Pandji uses humor to convey criticism of government policies, which have received varying responses from the public through social media. This study uses a qualitative approach, applying Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method, which examines the text at the macrostructure (thematic), superstructure (schematic), and microstructure (semantic, syntactic, and stylistic) levels. To deepen the analysis of the function of humor, this study applies Henri Bergson’s Theory of Humor, specifically the concept of mechanical inelasticity. Within this framework, the government is represented as a rigid and slow-moving entity, while the wider public, especially Gen Z, is depicted as a fluid force of change. The analysis results show that Pandji uses satire and irony techniques to sharply criticize government policies, while validating the public’s anxiety—especially that of Gen Z—as a logical form of resistance, rather than mere baseless complaints (snowflakes). The humorous communication message in Mens Rea serves as a deconstructive tool to address the negative stigma held by society, particularly toward Gen Z, in the eyes of those in power. Mens Rea functions not only as entertainment but also as a form of political communication and social control through humor.

Abstract

Electricity is a primary necessity that must be supplied continuously with reliable quality to meet increasing societal demand. However, technical losses in distribution systems, particularly those caused by transformer load imbalance, can reduce system efficiency and lead to energy losses. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of load-balancing methods in optimizing kWh energy savings at the JE016 substation in Labu Lalar, operated by PT PLN (Persero) ULP Taliwang. This research employs a quantitative experimental approach using load measurement data obtained from field observations and the AMG application. The analysis focuses on load-imbalance percentage, neutral current, power losses, and energy losses before and after load-balancing implementation. The results show that the load-balancing method successfully reduced the load-imbalance percentage to 20.29% and decreased the neutral current to 40.67%. Consequently, energy losses were reduced to 241.52 kWh, while the transformer achieved energy savings of up to 25.53 kWh. These findings indicate that load balancing significantly improves transformer efficiency by minimizing losses and optimizing energy usage. In conclusion, the implementation of load balancing is an effective strategy for reducing technical losses and enhancing energy efficiency in distribution substations. This method can be applied as a practical solution to optimize transformer performance and improve the quality of electrical power distribution.

Abstract

Industry batik fashion today undergoing a comprehensive transformation because of the convergence of digital technology and shifts in consumer behavior within the Creative Economy Ecosystem. These dynamics demand that industry players move beyond merely preserving traditional cultural identity and begin orchestrating design innovation and marketing strategies that resonate with digital markets. This research focuses on a qualitative analysis of the utilization of a generative design approach in the visual engineering of batik ornaments, as well as formulating a conceptual model of branding strategies based on consumer data to increase competitiveness in modern fashion. Through a qualitative approach that emphasizes exploratory design analysis and digital consumer behavior research, data are deeply examined through literature studies, observation of visual trends on social media, and narrative evaluation of audience preferences. The research findings indicate that algorithmic generative design systems can broaden the spectrum of motif innovation flexibly through modifications in pattern structures, repetition, and color composition. Furthermore, a qualitative understanding of digital data provides sharper empathetic insights into consumer visual preferences, guiding the design process to become more adaptive. This research culminates in the formulation of a conceptual branding model that closely integrates design exploration, consumer insight analysis, and digital communication strategies, thereby holistically strengthening the legitimacy of batik as a competitive cultural commodity in the global fashion arena.
