Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of communication among women entrepreneurs in MSMEs in Bandung Wetan in building the socio-economic resilience of families. Women have a dual role as business drivers and household economic supporters. The communication strategies they use, both in the family environment and in business activities, become important factors in maintaining business continuity and family welfare. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method on women's MSME groups in Bandung Wetan. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The research results show that effective communication among family members, communication with customers, and the use of digital media are the main assets for women in SMEs in facing socio-economic challenges. In addition, social support from family also strengthens the resilience of their businesses. These findings are expected to contribute to strengthening the communication capacity of women entrepreneurs and serve as a consideration in designing family-based MSME empowerment programs.

Abstract

This study discusses the use of solar energy as a heat source in the roasting process of coffee beans using a Parabolic Dish Collector (PDC), and analyzes the effect of Fresnel glass integration on improving the thermal performance of the system. Field test data collection is carried out repeatedly on two system configurations, namely PDC without and with Fresnel glass. The results showed that in the configuration without Fresnel glass, the temperature of the coffee beans only reached about 200 – 210 °C in the 15th minute, because the heating took place indirectly through the walls of the heating tube. Conversely, with the addition of Fresnel glass, the temperature of the coffee beans reaches the roasting threshold (~200 °C) faster, namely in the 9th to 10th minute, and increases to 241 – 249 °C in the 12th minute. This shows an acceleration of heating time of about 5 – 6 minutes at the same relatively same intensity of the sun. In addition, the average thermal efficiency of the system increased from 8.36% to 10.60%, or an increase of about 26.9%. This finding proves that the integration of Fresnel glass in PDC is able to accelerate the heating process, increase the working temperature, and improve heat absorption efficiency, so that this technology has the potential to be applied to small-scale coffee roasting processes based on solar energy.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digital narrative as an instrument for preserving local culture in the midst of the challenges of globalization and digitalization. The focus of the study is the Instagram account @pesona.indonesia, which is managed by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, as a medium for tourism and cultural promotion. Through a qualitative approach with a content analysis method, this study describes the form of digital narrative, analyzes the integration of local cultural values, and assesses the contribution of audience interaction in cultural preservation. The results of the study show that the digital narrative on the @pesona.indonesia account is built through a combination of cinematic visual storytelling and the use of distinctive, persuasive, and informative language. Content such as Gelar Melayu Serangpun, Kamist Toraja, and the Sabang–Merauke narrative are evidence of how visual elements, texts, and cultural symbols combine to form captivating representations and create emotional attachment. The integration of local cultural values, such as collectivity, togetherness, and identity, is carried out authentically and contextually through the visualization of traditions, arts, culinary, and customs, complete with explanations of their meanings and philosophies. Furthermore, audiences play an active role in preserving culture through high levels of engagement (likes, comments, shares), the formation of user-generated content (UGC), and the potential for collaboration. These interactions not only expand the reach of cultural messages but also create spaces for dialogue and collective participation. Theoretically, this study enriches the study of digital cultural communication, while practically, providing strategic recommendations for social media managers and communication practitioners in designing engaging digital content while strengthening national cultural identity.

Abstract

This study analyzes visual communication in sports photography on Instagram @explorepersib and examines the creative workflow from image capture to publication. The research is motivated by the dominance of sports photography as primary content and strong audience responses, yet constrained by the absence of formal standards, creative misalignment between photographer and media team, and situational field challenges. Conducted on the Instagram account @explorepersib, this study employed a qualitative descriptive method with in-depth interviews, documentation of posts, and non-participant observation. Findings reveal that visual communication is shaped through news value, match atmosphere, and the EDFAT technique to produce varied visual narratives, while the creative process prioritizes photo selection based on news value, aesthetics, and engagement potential. The study concludes that consistent EDFAT use, clear selection standards, and proper workflow documentation are essential to maintain content quality and visual storytelling strength.

Abstract

As the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to expand across various sectors, the issue of bias in training data has emerged as a significant ethical and technical challenge. AI systems are commonly trained using large-scale datasets collected from digital environments such as the internet, social media, and public databases. These datasets often contain historical inequalities, stereotypes, and unbalanced representations of certain demographic groups. Consequently, AI models may unintentionally replicate and amplify these biases in their predictions or decisions. This situation becomes particularly concerning when AI is used in high-stakes domains such as recruitment, healthcare, financial services, and public policy. Most existing bias mitigation strategies rely on reactive approaches, such as adjusting model outputs or modifying datasets after bias has already been identified. While these methods can reduce certain forms of discrimination, they often require significant manual intervention and may not effectively address bias in dynamic data environments. This research proposes a conceptual framework for an AI self-healing system designed to autonomously detect and correct bias in training data before it influences model outcomes. The proposed framework integrates four key modules: Data Monitoring, Bias Analysis, Automated Bias Correction, and a Feedback Loop and Validation mechanism. Together, these components create a continuous workflow that allows the system to identify bias patterns, apply corrective strategies, and verify fairness before data is used for model training. This framework offers a proactive and sustainable approach to bias mitigation while supporting the development of more ethical, robust, and accountable AI systems.
