Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of village government policies in the distribution of benefits from tourism development in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and to identify patterns of socioeconomic inclusion and exclusion in Rembitan Village. This study employs a qualitative, case-study approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Informants included village officials, traditional leaders, business operators, and local residents selected through purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that village officials have an open orientation toward the development of the area and strive to serve as intermediaries between residents and area managers in accessing corporate social responsibility programs and economic opportunities. Although tourism activities generate increased income at certain times, particularly during large-scale events, this situation is not stable and has not reached all segments of society. Structural barriers such as limited access to formal employment, low policy literacy, and the dominance of the informal sector prevent development benefits from being distributed fairly. Decision-making processes also remain reliant on representative mechanisms and informal communication. Thus, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of local policies in managing the impacts of tourism remains limited, necessitating institutional strengthening, broader community participation, and the formulation of more inclusive and equitable development strategies.

Abstract

Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and examine its implications for the formulation and implementation of poverty alleviation policies at the local level. This study uses a qualitative approach with a critical perspective aimed at uncovering power structures, patterns of domination, and inequality in relations between actors in area-based tourism development. The research location is in Kuta Village, Pujut District, Central Lombok Regency, with informants selected purposively, including village governments, local governments, investors or area managers (ITDC), and poor communities. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of policy documents. While data analysis used power mapping and thematic analysis techniques. The results show that power relations in the management of the Mandalika SEZ tend to be unbalanced and dominated by the central government and investors, thus limiting the space for village government participation in the decision-making process. This condition has implications for the suboptimal implementation of poverty alleviation policies and the unequal distribution of development benefits at the local level. Furthermore, the findings indicate that some communities remain vulnerable despite the region's tourism sector growth. Therefore, this study confirms the existence of unequal power relations that influence the effectiveness of development policies, while also identifying a research gap related to the limited studies focusing on negotiation mechanisms and resistance from local actors in area-based tourism development governance.

Abstract

The growing demand for Arabic as a professional language, along with the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, has led to their widespread use among students for translating and composing Arabic assignments. However, these AI tools are often used without critically evaluating the accuracy of their output. Rather than serving merely as learning aids, AI applications are increasingly overused, creating excessive dependence that may ultimately hinder the achievement of Arabic-language-learning objectives. This study aimed to examine the capability and accuracy of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity in improving the grammatical structure of Arabic writing. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach to measure and describe the performance of the three AI systems in refining Arabic text structures. The research data consisted of one Arabic composition (insyā’) text, which was revised using ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. The revised outputs were evaluated by three Arabic language experts using an assessment rubric, and the resulting scores were descriptively analyzed to compare the accuracy levels of the three AI systems. The findings revealed that ChatGPT achieved the highest accuracy score (96.5%), followed by Gemini (75%), while Perplexity obtained the lowest score (63%). These results indicate that ChatGPT demonstrates superior and more consistent performance in improving the grammatical structure of Arabic writing compared to Gemini and Perplexity. Therefore, ChatGPT is considered more suitable as a supporting tool for learning Arabic grammar. Nevertheless, AI-generated corrections should be critically reviewed by users, particularly in formal academic and professional contexts.

Abstract

The transformation of State Universities with Legal Entity status or Perguruan Tinggi Negeri Badan Hukum (PTN BH) represents one of the most significant reforms in Indonesian higher education governance. While PTN BH has frequently been criticized as a manifestation of educational capitalism, it has also been promoted as a policy intended to strengthen institutional autonomy, improve governance, enhance research competitiveness, and support internationalization. This study aims to critically examine PTN BH through the lens of Critical Theory by exploring the tension between institutional autonomy and market-oriented governance. Employing a qualitative literature review with a semi-systematic review approach, the study analyzes academic publications, policy documents, and previous empirical studies related to PTN BH, educational capitalism, and higher education governance in Indonesia. The findings indicate that PTN BH should not be understood merely as an expression of educational capitalism but rather as a contested governance model in which institutional autonomy, academic competitiveness, public accountability, commercialization, and social justice continuously interact. Greater institutional autonomy has encouraged innovation, research development, and governance flexibility; however, it has also expanded market-oriented mechanisms through diversified revenue generation, university-industry collaboration, and increasing dependence on non-state funding. From a Critical Theory perspective, these developments illustrate the coexistence of emancipatory opportunities and structural inequalities within higher education governance. The study concludes that the central challenge of PTN BH is not institutional autonomy itself but ensuring that autonomy is implemented within a framework of public accountability, equitable educational access, and the preservation of higher education as a public good.

Abstract

This study is motivated by consumers inability to try products in person, inconsistencies in previous research on virtual try-on (VTO) and brand image, and the limited role of brand trust as a mediator. Based on the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, this study aims to analyze the influence of VTO and brand image on the decision to purchase Maybelline lip products on Shopee in Medan, with brand trust as a mediator. This quantitative study employs Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). A sample of 69 female consumers in Medan was selected via purposive sampling, with the criteria of having previously purchased Maybelline lip products on Shopee and having used the VTO feature more than once. The results indicate that VTO significantly influences Purchasing Decisions (0.298; 2.002; < 0.05) and brand trust (0.342; 2.863; < 0.01). Brand image significantly influences Purchasing Decisions (0.365; 3.406; < 0.01) and brand trust (0.443; 3.700; < 0.001). Brand trust has a significant effect on Purchasing Decisions (0.296; 2.768; < 0.01). Brand trust partially mediates the influence of VTO (0.101; 1.984; < 0.05) and the influence of brand image (0.131; 2.085; < 0.05) on Purchasing Decisions. The model explains 73.2% of the variation in Purchasing Decisions (R² = 0.732). These findings support the SOR theory that brand trust mediates the effects of VTO and brand image on Purchasing Decisions.

Abstract

Academic stress is a common challenge among first-year university students, particularly those studying in English based study programs, where academic and language-related demands coexist. This study aimed to explore the factors contributing to academic stress among first-year EFL university students. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 39 first-year EFL students at Program Studi Bahasa Inggris Program Sarjana Terapan, Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. The findings revealed four major factors contributing to academic stress: time management challenges, heavy academic workload and assignment demands, adaptation to independent learning, and adjustment to the English-language learning environment. Time management emerged as the most dominant factor, followed by academic workload, indicating that students struggled to balance multiple academic responsibilities while adapting to greater learning autonomy. Participants also reported difficulties adjusting to self-directed learning and coping with English-mediated instruction, which required additional cognitive and linguistic effort. The study contributes to the understanding of academic stress in EFL higher education by highlighting the interaction between general university adjustment and language-related challenges. The findings underscore the importance of institutional support, including orientation programs, time-management training, self-regulated learning development, and language support initiatives to facilitate students' academic transition and well-being. Keywords: academic stress, first-year university students, EFL students, qualitative descriptive research, higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the chronology and dynamics of China's involvement in the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela during the 2024–2026 period. This issue is crucial given the global geopolitical shifts affecting Venezuela's domestic stability and the intervention of external actors. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical case study design, data were collected through documentation techniques from official government reports, journal articles, and credible international media. The data analysis reveals three main themes of China's involvement during the three-year period: providing moral support on the international stage, using its veto power in the UN Security Council against unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States and its Western allies, and consistently channeling economic and humanitarian aid. These findings contribute to an understanding of China's protective diplomacy and strategic alliances in Latin America, which are adaptive to external pressures. In conclusion, China's non-military interventions serve as a diplomatic shield and humanitarian savior for Venezuela, while simultaneously strengthening resistance to Western hegemony. The implications of this research emphasize the need for the international community to reassess the effectiveness of unilateral sanctions in conflict resolution. Further research is recommended to examine the long-term impact of Chinese humanitarian aid on the socio-economic recovery of Venezuelan society.   Keywords: China’s Humanitarian Diplomacy; geopolitics; humanitarian crisis; Nicolas Maduro

Abstract

Sociolinguistics examines how social norms influence daily language usage, including code-mixing. This study investigates the types of code-mixing used by first-semester English Language Education students at Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji during speaking activities, as well as the underlying factors driving its use. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative design, the study targeted a total class size of 23 students, among whom 17 students produced code-mixing instances totaling 30 occurrences across classroom observations. Eight students were selected via purposive sampling for in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification by Miles et al. (2014), alongside Muysken’s (2000) theoretical framework of code-mixing typology. The results reveal that insertion was the most dominant type of code-mixing (21 occurrences), followed by alternation (7 occurrences) and congruent lexicalization (2 occurrences). The primary driver of code-mixing was identified as a lack of vocabulary, serving as a compensatory strategy, alongside secondary factors including language habits, confidence/anxiety, and interlocutor dynamics. Theoretically, these findings reinforce sociolinguistic perspectives that code-mixing functions as a natural communication strategy for early-stage language learners. Practically, the study highlights the importance of systematic vocabulary enhancement and supportive classroom environments to build students' speaking confidence.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the creative industry and the ongoing digital transformation have significantly reshaped the characteristics of the labor market, particularly within the animation sector. These changes require graduates of Vocational High Schools (SMKs), especially those majoring in Animation, to possess not only strong technical competencies but also the adaptability needed to respond to the dynamic demands of the industry. This article aims to analyze the characteristics of the labor market and their implications for the employment opportunities of Vocational High School graduates in the Animation program through a literature review approach. The data sources consisted of scholarly articles, research reports, and other relevant literature addressing vocational education, employability, the creative industry, and animation competencies. The findings indicate that employment opportunities for Animation graduates are influenced by five major characteristics of the contemporary labor market: industrial digitalization, the increasing demand for multidisciplinary competencies, the predominance of project-based work, the growing importance of employability skills, and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies. The review further reveals that graduates who demonstrate a combination of technical expertise, creativity, communication, collaboration, and adaptability are more likely to secure employment in the industry. Therefore, strengthening industry-oriented curricula, expanding work-based learning opportunities, and fostering twenty-first-century competencies are essential strategies to enhance the competitiveness of Vocational High School Animation graduates in the evolving labor market.

Abstract

Vocational education faces a fundamental challenge in bridging the gap between graduates' competencies and labor market demands. One of the key approaches developed to address this issue is the implementation of the link and match policy through curriculum alignment between vocational schools and industry. This study aims to analyze the implementation of a link and match-based curriculum alignment between Muhammadiyah Kramat Vocational High School and PT Astra Honda Motor through the Astra Honda Authorized Service Station (AHASS) network. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected from school documents, student records, and industry partnership documentation. The research participants included 197 eleventh-grade students, 150 twelfth-grade students, and AHASS industry partners serving as sites for industrial internships and industry-based learning. The findings indicate that curriculum alignment was implemented through competency synchronization, industrial work-based learning, the adoption of the Teaching Factory learning model, competency certification programs, and graduate placement initiatives. This partnership model enhances the relevance of vocational education by providing authentic workplace experiences, improving students' work readiness, and expanding employment opportunities within the two-wheeler automotive industry. The findings further demonstrate that sustained collaboration between vocational schools and industry constitutes a strategic approach to improving the quality and relevance of vocational education.
