Abstract

Wulla Poddu is a sacred ritual tradition of the Sumbanese people rooted in the Marapu belief system and continues to be preserved by the community of Umbu Koba Village, Southwest Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This tradition plays a significant role in maintaining harmonious relationships among humans, ancestors, and nature while serving as an essential component of the local community's cultural identity. This study aims to describe the community's beliefs regarding the Wulla Poddu ritual, its stages of implementation, and its social, cultural, and religious significance. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and community members, and documentation. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Wulla Poddu ritual is consistently practiced as an expression of respect for ancestors and gratitude for life. The ritual comprises a series of traditional ceremonies, offerings, prayers, and customary prohibitions that must be observed by the community. Furthermore, the ritual reinforces religious values, social solidarity, cultural preservation, and the transmission of local wisdom to future generations. Therefore, Wulla Poddu functions not only as a traditional religious practice but also as a means of preserving cultural heritage and strengthening the cultural identity of the Umbu Koba community amid contemporary social changes.

Abstract

The hotel industry is an important part of service marketing management, particularly in facing the increasing competition among three-star hotels in Makassar City. This study aims to analyze the effect of price perception and hotel image on the decision to stay, with consumer trust as a mediating variable. This research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire from 200 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4. The results showed that price perception and hotel image had a positive and significant effect on consumer trust. Hotel image and consumer trust had a positive and significant effect on the decision to stay, while price perception did not have a significant direct effect on the decision to stay. Consumer trust fully mediated the effect of price perception on the decision to stay and partially mediated the effect of hotel image on the decision to stay. This study contributes to the development of service marketing research by emphasizing the importance of trust as a linking mechanism in consumer decision-making. These findings are important as a basis for hotel strategies in managing prices, hotel image, and service quality.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the roles of traditional intellectuals and organic intellectuals in Morra Quatro’s novel Notasi viewed from Antonio Gramsci’s hegemony perspective. It employs a descriptive qualitative method with a sociological literary criticism approach. The data consist of novel quotations representing hegemonic and counter-hegemonic practices during the 1998 Reformation era, grouped into two role categories in line with the problem formulations. Data were collected through literature study, repeated heuristic and hermeneutic reading, and note-taking of relevant passages, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model covering data reduction, analytical narrative display, and continuous conclusion drawing and verification. The results show that traditional intellectuals — represented by state bureaucrats, faculty leaders, student regiment commanders, and senior lecturers — perpetuate the New Order’s hegemony through five mutually reinforcing mechanisms: structural control over media access, suppression of movements through academic authority, internal campus surveillance and repression, ideological control over public discourse, and a combination of psychological manipulation and inter-institutional coordination of repression. Meanwhile, organic intellectuals from student activist circles build counter-hegemony through five structured gradual strategies: exposing the structural falsity of the regime’s bureaucracy, utilizing censorship-free alternative communication infrastructures, articulating clear and directed political demands, organizing collective action based on collective memory of struggle, and transforming the threat of repressive laws into a unifying tool for internal movement solidarity. The main finding reveals a sharp polarization between the two intellectual groups in the struggle for intellectual and moral leadership within the campus public sphere, where organic intellectuals gradually succeeded in transforming individual critical consciousness into an organized mass movement that later became one of the main pillars of the collapse of the New Order regime’s hegemony in May 1998. This study contributes to Indonesian literary sociology by demonstrating how fiction can precisely record the dynamics of the war of position between intellectual classes at a critical moment of political transition in the nation’s history.

Abstract

The increasing use of digital media has created new opportunities for learning authentic English beyond the classroom. One of the most popular platforms among university students is Spotify, which provides access to song lyrics containing English slang and daily expressions frequently used in real-life communication. However, limited studies have specifically explored students’ perceptions of using Spotify lyrics as a learning resource for understanding informal English. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate English Education students’ perceptions toward the use of Spotify lyrics for learning English slang and daily expressions. This study employed a quantitative approach using a descriptive survey design. The participants were 50 second- and fourth-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Nusantara PGRI Kediri, selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire based on four indicators: understanding, use, benefits, and challenges. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and mean scores with the assistance of IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The findings revealed that students had positive perceptions toward the use of Spotify lyrics as a learning medium. They demonstrated good understanding of English slang and daily expressions, actively used lyrics as an independent learning resource, and perceived benefits such as vocabulary improvement, increased exposure to authentic English, higher learning motivation, and more enjoyable learning experiences. Although students encountered challenges related to unfamiliar slang, figurative language, pronunciation, and fast song tempo, they applied effective learning strategies to overcome these difficulties. The findings suggest that Spotify lyrics can serve as an accessible and meaningful resource for learning authentic English in higher education.
