Abstract

Information warfare in the context of asymmetric warfare poses a significant challenge to social and political stability in the digital era. This study is motivated by advancements in information and communication technology that enable instant dissemination of information, creating opportunities for state and non-state actors to exploit social vulnerabilities through disinformation and propaganda. The objective of this research is to analyze information warfare strategies in asymmetric warfare and their impact on national stability. Employing a qualitative method with a literature review approach, the study delves into concepts such as asymmetric warfare, social stability, and the digital era. The findings reveal that actors employ framing, agenda-setting, and disinformation techniques to create polarization and undermine the legitimacy of social institutions. Social media serves as a key tool in propagating highly effective propaganda. The study concludes that digital literacy and stronger social media regulations are critical for enhancing social resilience. Recommendations include developing comprehensive digital literacy programs, utilizing AI-based early detection technologies, and strengthening collaboration between the government and civil society.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of minimum wage, economic growth, and unemployment rate on the poverty rate in Sumatra Island, Indonesia. The data used is panel data from 10 provinces in Sumatra during the period 2016-2023.The analysis was conducted using the Random Effects Model (REM) method with EViews 12 software. The findings indicate that the minimum wage variable exerts a significant negative influence on the poverty rate, while economic growth demonstrates no substantial effect. Conversely, the unemployment rate exhibits a significant negative impact on poverty.These observations align with the principles of the Wage Efficiency theory and the Social Security Theory, underscoring the significance of augmenting the minimum wage and implementing policies to manage unemployment in efforts to alleviate poverty. However, it is important to note that national economic growth has not been sufficient to meaningfully address the issue of poverty, underscoring the necessity for a more targeted strategy that focuses on enhancing accessibility to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for disadvantaged populations.

Abstract

In the era of modern technology, the development of communication and computer networks plays an important role in supporting the efficiency and productivity of the company. This research was conducted at PT XYZ, which currently faces several obstacles in the available communication network. This research aims to design and analyze a more effective and efficient communication system and computer network to increase company productivity. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with systematic steps in understanding empirical phenomena related to computer networks. The network design process is done through simulation using Cisco Packet Tracer, which allows testing the network topology before real implementation, thus reducing costs and risk of damage. The results show that the designed network design can overcome the existing communication constraints at PT XYZ. The simulation ensures that the network device configuration is running optimally, characterized by successful ping results and satisfactory connectivity testing. The use of Cisco Packet Tracer in this research helps in visualizing the network topology, simplifying analysis, and ensuring configuration according to company needs.

Abstract

Trichothecenes, pose significant health risks to humans and animals by contaminating food and feed. These toxins are classified into Type A and Type B. Type A trichothecenes are commonly detected in various food matrices, while Type B trichothecenes contaminate crops and are linked to alimentary toxicities, including emetic reactions. Advanced detection methods such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry are widely used. Biological controls, such as Debaryomyces hansenii, have shown promise, reducing toxin content and suppressing pathogen spread. Trichothecenes exhibit ribotoxic, pro-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects, making their management a critical focus in food safety. This review comprehensively explores detection techniques, management strategies, and the impact of trichothecene contamination on human health, emphasizing its relevance in public policy and food security.

Abstract

IBN (National Defense Index) is an important indicator in measuring public awareness and participation in maintaining the sovereignty and stability of the country. With the increasing complexity of challenges to national resilience, a predictive approach is needed to understand the relationship between IBN and other variables that influence national resilience. The CART method is used to identify patterns and determine significant variables that play a role in strengthening national resilience. Through this model, the study aims to provide deeper insight for the formulation of more effective policies in building strong national resilience. The results of the study were obtained by identifying factors that influence the National Defense Index (IBN). The results of this study are expected to be a consideration for the basis for strategic policies in achieving the great goal of Indonesia Emas 2045 as a strong, sovereign, and sustainable country.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of diffusion of innovation in the implementation of hygiene programs in Bangkalan Regency, to understand how hygiene innovations are accepted and adopted by the local community as well as the challenges faced in the cleanliness program implemented by the Bangkalan Initiative Community, to find out how much influence the success and failure of diffusion of hygiene innovations, including public awareness, limitations of infrastructure,  and participation in environmental cleanliness programs. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative research type. The types and sources of information used in this study are using 2 types, namely primary data and secondary data. Initial information obtained from the first source of information or field hands, then we obtained this secondary information based on observations from podcasts along with documentation on Bangkalan social media initiatives such as: YouTobe, Instagram, and Tik Tok. The results of the study show that although there are a number of efforts to increase public awareness and provide hygiene facilities, the low level of community participation and limited human resources (HR) are still the main obstacles. Therefore, a more interactive innovation diffusion strategy that involves direct community participation in each stage of the program is urgently needed to increase the effectiveness and reach the cleanliness program in Bangkalan. This study provides recommendations for improvements in the design and implementation of a more inclusive and sustainable hygiene program. The Bangkalan program initiative has a great impact in the field of cleanliness, especially the Bangkalan community. The first step in the process of diffusion of innovation in the Bangkalan cleanliness initiative is the role of education, especially educators, which is the main factor.
