Abstract

The role of women in the digital era has experienced a significant transformation, no longer limited to domestic responsibilities as housewives, but also extending to active participation in the professional sphere. An increasing number of women choose to pursue careers after marriage, which in some cases leads them to become the main breadwinners for their families. This phenomenon challenges the conventional view that men are the sole heads of families and opens discourse on the redefinition of family leadership. This study aims to explore the meaning of being the head of the family for working women in Pekanbaru who either act as the main financial provider or earn a higher income than their husbands. Employing a phenomenological approach, this research involved ten female informants who shared their lived experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analysed using Colaizi’s method to identify core themes. The findings reveal that there is a noticeable shift in the understanding of family headship among these women. For those who serve as the primary providers, the concept of “head of the family” is interpreted not merely as a legal or formal title, but as a functional and relational responsibility encompassing economic, emotional, and social dimensions. The meaning of leadership in the family is thus redefined through practical roles and cooperation between spouses rather than rigid gender hierarchy. This study concludes that the redefinition of family headship among working women in Pekanbaru reflects a contextual interpretation of Islamic values, where leadership in the household is viewed as a shared responsibility based on capability and contribution rather than gender alone.

Abstract

This article discusses women's advocacy in Yemen through social media following the outbreak of civil war in 2015 between the Houthis and the government of Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The novelty of this study is its integration of women's engagement in physical public spaces into digital ones and its emphasis on social media's role as an alternative public space for advocacy amidst the ongoing conflict, which limits conventional civic participation. The presence of Saudi Arabia as one of the major powers in the Middle East in the Yemen conflict has actually worsened the political instability in the country due to the intervention carried out by Saudi Arabia to prevent the Houthis from taking power in Yemen. To analyse, this study applies liberal feminist theory using a qualitative research design and analyses data narratively, drawing on primary and secondary sources. Through a case study of women in Yemen, the findings demonstrate how Yemeni women engage in digital advocacy by sharing personal experiences of gender-based violence, promoting legal awareness regarding women’s protection rights through written content, and fostering solidarity among women. Overall, the study shows that social media plays a crucial role in enabling women’s advocacy at a time when the state has been unable to ensure women’s safety and protection.

Abstract

This study examines the forms and sociocultural functions of implicature in popular Balinese love song lyrics performed by Dek Ulik, focusing on four songs: Tiang Demen, Beli Sayang, Boya Je Alpaka, and Ratih Kamajaya. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with a sociopragmatic orientation, the study applies content analysis to song lyrics as cultural discourse. Data consist of words, phrases, clauses, and lyric lines containing implicature, analysed through pragmatic matching techniques grounded in implicature theory proposed by Grice (1975), politeness principles by Geoffrey Leech (2016), and the sociopragmatic framework of Jacob L. Mey (2021). The findings reveal that both conventional and conversational implicatures are employed to convey romantic meanings indirectly; however, conversational implicatures predominate (82%), while conventional implicatures account for 18%. Indirectness is realised through mitigation strategies, conditional expressions, rhetorical questioning, metaphorical references, and culturally shared symbolism. These pragmatic mechanisms encode socio-cultural values such as politeness, loyalty, filial respect, emotional restraint, and spiritual commitment. Such patterns reflect characteristics of high-context communication, where meanings are often implied to maintain interpersonal harmony. The study demonstrates that Balinese popular love songs function not merely as entertainment but as cultural texts that negotiate romantic relationships within local moral, familial, and spiritual frameworks. The novelty of this research lies in highlighting implicature as a sociocultural mechanism through which romantic discourse in Balinese popular music articulates culturally grounded relational values.

Abstract

Academic dishonesty, as a cheating act done by students, has always been a significant challenge in education. It reflects integrity and responsibility as the main element in character development. Many studies had done to identify variables behind students' dishonesty. Hensley (2013) said male students are likelier to cheat and plagiarise. This study measured further through a perspective questionnaire using a vignette test for vocational education during an online class. The variables were designed based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs with six dependent and five independent variables.  The analysis of this study applied chi-square quantitative analysis. At the same time, the data was collected using random sampling from semesters 1,3 and 5 of the Informatics Engineering study program in Politeknik Negeri Jakarta.  This study was conducted during COVID -19 Pandemic when all the teaching, learning and assessment processes were conducted online. This study showed that gender and grade did not affect students’ motivation to cheat during online exams. At the same time, the chi-square analysis reflected the same result for both gender and grade analysis. They did not highly influence academic dishonesty in the online test. This study exposed us to varied insights into variables behind academic dishonesty, such as religiosity, lecturer and course and system. This finding triggered further study and evaluation of the institution system and human resource development since they had a role in shifting the phenomena.

Abstract

Tourism is very necessary to continue to be developed to improve the economy in Indonesia and increase the position of the country geographically, which is very strategic for tourism and the world economy. For this reason, the ability to communicate in English is absolutely necessary, in order to compete with workers from other countries, so that they can contribute to the improvement of the national economy. The ability to communicate in English is a strategic sector in the development of highly competitive human resources in the tourism industry sector and in the global economic community. By having good English communication skills, it will be easier to grab market share in the tourism industry sector and the economic sector. The tourism sector as one of the prime industrial development is developed in order to further increase the rate of national development. For this reason, it is necessary that the government continues to increase its resilience, policies, and increase the development of tourism with a view to further developing the community's economy and increasing the ability to speak English so that human resources are able to compete in various tourism industries so that the economy will increase.

Abstract

Based on Law Number 23 of 2014, the potential for improving community welfare is an optional affair by the government. This encourages every local government to develop a tourist village. Therefore, this study provides an overview of the application of the rules in order to develop the Kepuharjo Tourism Village in Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency. Furthermore, this study uses the type of rule application from George C. Edward III. In the preparation of this research, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach. This means that the types of data sources used are primary and secondary data. Based on the results of interviews and observations, it can be concluded that the implementation of the policy for developing the Tourism Village of Kepuharjo Village is not optimal. The implementation of the program is not optimal because there are several factors that influence the development of tourism villages, namely from the resources and bureaucratic structures. Meanwhile, the driving factors for the development of the tourism village are aspects of communication and disposition.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss the impact of the implementation of special autonomy which has been running for two decades on welfare in Papua through the public service sector. Law Number 21 of 2001 which became the initial basis for the implementation of special autonomy in Papua is an instrument to encourage Papua to catch up with other regions in Indonesia. So far, Papua has been an area that tends to be left behind in various sectors, including its public services. Therefore, the presence of special autonomy, which is then followed by special autonomy funding that significantly increases every year, is expected to be able to improve public services to achieve prosperity. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data were collected from various literature, both from relevant agencies and the relevant media. Meanwhile, researchers in conducting research stages use the Creswell concept. The stages of this research consist of problem identification, literature search, research aims and objectives, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, and research reporting. The results of the study show that two decades of implementing special autonomy in Papua have not provided significant achievements for public services. High poverty rates, low Human Development Index and minimal public service facilities are still the main characteristics of the implementation after the two decades of autonomy. The implication is that there is a negative correlation between the implementation of this special autonomy and the welfare aspect to date. Therefore, the disbursement of funds that enter from the centre to the regions through this regulatory scheme has not had a significant impact on welfare in Papua.

Abstract

Women in a patriarchal system have a close relationship with domestic roles. This study aims to describe the construction of women's roles faced by a woman before becoming a prisoner in a short story entitled Surat dari Tini Chen: Siapa Saya written by Tini (pseudonym), a former convict. This research is descriptive qualitative in nature and has qualitative data taken through library techniques. The approach used in this study is structural story analysis and feminist literary criticism with an intersectionalism approach to explaining social phenomena that become the factor of oppression. The results show that three factors (i.e., education, power relations, and psychology) support the formation of structural oppression on Tini. The economic condition is the estuary that underlies the emergence of the factors.

Abstract

This research aims to understand and explain how significant the women’s role in the hotel industry. It is an advanced study which is explores ore from the previous one discussing the women acceptability in the hotel industry in Indonesia, particularly in Bali, with their varied educational background. In fact, this study found that women have significant role in increasing the hotel income through divisions of front office, food and beverage service, and sales. This research was approached qualitatively by conducting depth interviews based on the data that were obtained in 2018 and 2019. As a result, the women in this case tend to have so more hospitality skill that guests feel more comfortable to communicate with them. In addition, the women are also more capable to manage their heart-feeling and to put themselves well according to situations they are in. This capability is then able to persuade the hotel guests to come to the hotels and to have the services. It finally impacts the increasing hotel revenue.
