Abstract

Land is an important part of human life. Therefore, the state as the highest organization is obliged to provide people's agrarian rights.  However, until now, agrarian conflicts still haunt the affected communities.  An example is Pakel Village, Banyuwangi, where most of the area is still controlled by the colonial plantation authorities and Perhutani.  The conflict, which started in 1993, then re-emerged in 2012 and continued in 2017 until now.  Until now there has been no clear solution and the state has not been able to fulfill its promise.  Neither legally nor has it been able to provide a protective umbrella that can guarantee the Pakel community.  This research aims to analyze conflict and how strategic communication can reduce agrarian disputes in Pakel Village.  The research is descriptive qualitative type.  Data collection techniques in this research were obtained through literature study or library research through journal research article sources and online news.  The research results reveal several stages of strategic communication that can be pursued in the process of reducing agrarian conflict, namely: (1) consolidating internal parties related to conflict resolution;  (2) conducting mediation involving all parties involved in the conflict;  and (3) involving stakeholders in conflict resolution.  Consolidation is a communication process, where all parties are involved in high intensity discussions. The mediation process is also part of the communication strategy in resolving agrarian conflicts.  Through this consolidation and mediation, the government as the guarantor of law and justice or what we can call a mediator can map the point of origin of the conflict, the actors involved, the magnitude of the losses, as well as the strategies and tactics for resolving it.

Abstract

In today's digital era, electronic trading platforms such as live shopping have become increasingly popular as a primary sales channel for many businesses. Live shopping combines elements of interactivity and immediacy, allowing sellers to communicate in real-time with potential buyers. This study aims to investigate the impact of negotiation techniques used during live shopping sessions on the Shopee platform on increasing sales. Using a quantitative approach, this research collected data from 100 sellers who actively used live shopping on Shopee for six months. The negotiation techniques analyzed include tactics such as limited-time offers, progressive discounts, and responsive direct interactions. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that the effective use of negotiation techniques significantly increases sales volumes. This research provides new insights for online sellers on how to optimize their sales strategies and suggests that training in negotiation techniques should be an integral part of the seller's preparation to maximize their sales potential on live shopping platforms.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has advantages in the agricultural sector which has the largest plantation and agricultural areas in ASEAN, one of which is oil palm plantations. Indonesia is one of the largest crude palm oil (CPO) business players in the world. More and more palm oil mills and oil palm land are being converted to oil palm cultivation, because oil palm plantations are more beneficial for farmers and palm oil processors. Palm oil plantations are still trying in several ways to maintain stable market demand, one of which is by increasing palm oil production, because palm oil is the main source of other product derivatives. Palm oil production fluctuates every month, but the ups and downs are caused by many factors, namely climate, rainfall, soil fertility, selling prices, and others. Reduced production has a direct impact on the income of farmers and workers in the sector, which in turn can cause economic instability. Actions are needed to ensure the continuity of this industry, one of which is by making predictions. One prediction technique is the Backpropagation artificial neural network. The prediction model can provide very accurate estimates of palm oil production at the provincial level. By analyzing historical data, this research can identify patterns that can help predict future palm oil production. The urgency lies in the strategic role of palm oil in the Indonesian economy.

Abstract

As the digital age continues to reshape educational paradigms, it is essential to investigate the purposeful integration of media into infants’ lives to enhance language acquisition “Harmonizing Voices” explores how age-appropriate media, such as videos, apps, and interactive content, can complement traditional methods, providing infants with a multi-sensory and engaging platform for language exploration. Today, various strategies are employed to stimulate babies from pregnancy through infancy, with mothers increasingly using media as a tool. This includes playing music during pregnancy and introducing nursery rhymes through media post-birth to create a sensory -rich environment. This study investigates the synergy between the melodic allure of English nursery rhymes and intricate process of a baby’s linguistic development. Digital platforms like YouTube and Netflix offer numerous nursery rhymes, such as Cocomelon and Bebefinn, which are popular among infants. This research aims to evaluate which of these nursery rhymes programs is more effective in stimulating infants and which elicits more positive reactions. Caregivers, educators, and researchers will gain insights into the connections between musicality, language and early cognitive development through this exploration. The study addresses the identification of high quality media content, strategies for joint engagement between caregivers and infants, and the potential impact of media on various facets of language development. By fostering an environment where technology harmonizes with natural language acquisition processes, this research aspires to contribute valuable insights for educators, caregivers, and researchers. The objective of this study is to observe and compare infants’ reactions to two popular nursery rhyme programs, Cocomelon and Bebefinn. The research aims to identify which program stimulates more positive engagement, thereby providing a deeper understanding of infants’ preferences and the effectiveness of media content in early language development.
