Abstract

The Phantom of the Opera is a novel by Gaston Leroux that has been adapted into plays and films. The adaptation of the novel in the play is still being staged in several theatres overseas this year. The best play adaptation is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera (1986) because it became the longest-running theatrical event in Broadway history. The neat appearance of the play cannot be separated from the reference play script, which explains all the intrinsic elements. The mask that characterises the Phantom’s appearance holds a paradoxical meaning for the beauty he desires to get compassion. Therefore, the following study aims to explore the paradox of the mask as a metaphorical symbol worn by the Phantom from a close reading approach. The analysis is based on the play The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The metaphorical symbol of the mask is discovered by analysing the narrated details and related dialogue conversations. Then, its intensity directly connects with the paradoxical meaning that using a mask to cover up deformity hides true beauty. Thus, it can be concluded that covering something does not always make it good, and the thing covered is a good object without realising it. This study is expected to increase awareness and open new perspectives that previously defined the Phantom’s appearance as hideous, but it turns out that it contains beauty.

Abstract

The phenomenon of populist parties and "pork barrel" politics in Indonesia often emerges with promises of radical change and claims to represent the "voice of the people." However, in practice, these parties frequently become entangled in corruption, nepotism, and clientelism, undermining political integrity and public trust. "Pork barrel" politics in Indonesia refers to the strategic and often inequitable distribution of state resources—such as regional development projects or social assistance programs—used to secure political support. This study examines how these practices erode not only political morality and democratic integrity but also the social and psychological underpinnings of public trust in government institutions. Employing a qualitative approach with case studies and document analysis, the research explores corruption cases involving public officials and the broader societal impacts of "pork barrel" politics. The findings reveal that these practices have not only degraded the ethical standards of political actors but have also fostered widespread public cynicism, exacerbating a psychological sense of distrust and disillusionment with the political system. To address these challenges, the study highlights the need for systemic reforms, including greater transparency in budget allocation, robust legal enforcement against corruption, and political education that prioritizes ethical behavior, civic responsibility, and trust-building. These efforts are vital for restoring public confidence, strengthening democratic values, and fostering a more morally grounded political culture in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Indonesian government is facing the threat of developing biological threats that exist in Indonesia by utilizing the role of intelligence. Biological threats can develop into potential biological weapons because the impact of biological weapons threats is mass and can affect various aspects of a nation's life, both from economic, socio-cultural and defense and security aspects. The aim of this research is to evaluate the Indonesia's strategy in facing threats that exists in Indonesia, especially biological threats, by using intelligence. Sishankamrata is a defense system that consists of three components: biological accidents, biocrime, natural events, lab accidents, inodemic hoaxes, gray area incidents, and public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). It is hoped that this research can be theoretically useful, namely that it can contribute to knowledge in the fields of defense and intelligence to face threats that existed in Indonesia. This research is aimed at identifying biological agents that have the potential to become bioweapons and their distribution mechanisms to prepare effective countermeasures from the resistance system national health.

Abstract

The ulu ambek dance portrays a leader (datuk) in his steps, actions, and thoughts for the prosperity of his people. The silat-style movements in ulu ambek dance are performed by two individuals in different positions, one attacking and the other defending. However, they never make physical contact. Midway through the performance, they switch positions, with the defender taking turns to attack and the former attacker now defending. Ulu ambek dance in Pariaman is a manifestation of historical heritage to maintain its identity because it is related to the ethics and aesthetics of traditional Pariaman society. In the current condition, traditional ulu ambek art requires continuity and should be taught to the younger generation. Therefore, there needs to be a training concept that appeals to the younger generation. The training concept includes 1) Building Technical Skills, 2) Unleashing creativity, 3) Exploring Traditional Expression, 4) Strengthening Independence, and 5) Creating a Community. From these concepts, the progress made by the younger generation in building their confidence in traditional art, mainly traditional ulu ambek dance in Pariaman, is evident.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the level of student concern toward children with disabilities at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Mulawarman University. While previous research has discussed empathy or inclusive education separately, few have quantitatively examined the relationship between affective and cognitive empathy and prosocial behaviour among university students at Mulawarman University in East Kalimantan. A quantitative approach using a survey method was employed to measure the dimensions of affective empathy, cognitive empathy, and prosocial behaviour based on the theory of Eisenberg and Miller (1987). A total of 97 students were selected as research samples using the simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analysed using validity and reliability tests, as well as multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that affective and cognitive empathy have a significant influence on students' prosocial behaviour in supporting children with disabilities. The implications of this study highlight the importance of education and socialisation regarding inclusivity to enhance students' social awareness.

Abstract

In the three border provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat in southern Thailand, where most of the population is Malay Muslim with strong religious and cultural beliefs, this study examines the dynamics of acceptance and rejection of international conventions regarding the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. Despite Thailand's notable advancements in LGBTQ+ rights, including the enactment of the Equal Marriage Act in 2024, research indicates that the three border provinces of Southern Thailand face substantial obstacles in implementing this law because of stringent religious and cultural standards. To obtain some acceptance, LGBTQ+ groups in the area are employing adaptation techniques like social media use, creating support systems, and highlighting Islamic principles like "Rahmah" (compassion). However, many LGBTQ+ members decide not to publicly reveal their identities due to severe opposition from religious and community leaders. The intricacy of the interplay between local and global norms is examined in this study, along with the function of players like community organizations and social media influencers in mediating the dispute. The results offer valuable insights into the difficulties LGBTQ+ individuals have in conservative-value-dominated communities, as well as suggestions for future inclusive legislation.

Abstract

Public complaints play a critical role in providing feedback on service delivery, enabling institutions to enhance performance, promote accountability, and uphold social justice. This study examines the influence of perceived justice in complaint handling on public satisfaction within the Secretariat General of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI). Adopting a quantitative approach, data were collected from 258 respondents—comprising civil servants, private-sector employees, professionals, NGO workers, and the general public—using a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. This research focuses on three dimensions of justice: distributive, procedural, and interactional. The findings indicate that interactional justice—encompassing respectful treatment, clear communication, and ethical behavior—has the strongest impact on public satisfaction. These results underscore the importance of interpersonal engagement during the complaint resolution process as a key factor in shaping public trust and improving institutional image. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of justice perceptions in the context of a legislative institution’s complaint management system—an area that has been relatively underexplored in prior research. Unlike existing studies that primarily focus on executive or frontline service agencies, this study provides new insights into how justice-based approaches in legislative complaint handling can enhance public service responsiveness, transparency, and credibility.
