Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric overview of youth empowerment research within the social sciences, employing VOSviewer to analyze patterns of authorship, international collaboration, and thematic evolution from 2000 to 2024. A dataset retrieved from Scopus formed the basis for co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and temporal trend mapping. The analysis reveals Zimmerman M.A. as a central figure in the research network and the United States as the most prolific contributor, with notable partnerships involving countries such as Australia, South Africa, and Kenya. Thematically, the field has transitioned from early emphases on health education and risk prevention toward more contemporary focuses on mental health, leadership, and social justice. Keyword clustering illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of the field, integrating psychological, educational, health, and civic engagement frameworks. Temporal visualizations show a shift in conceptual priorities over time, while density mapping indicates core and peripheral research areas. The study highlights the importance of context-sensitive, inclusive, and forward-looking approaches to youth empowerment and identifies gaps for future investigation, particularly in areas such as digital inclusion and economic agency.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of intertextuality and its application within literary theory, drawing on data from the Scopus database spanning the years 1980 to 2024. Using VOSviewer, the research identifies key thematic clusters, influential scholars, citation networks, and global collaboration patterns. The analysis reveals that intertextuality remains a central and evolving concept, strongly linked to postmodernism, parody, metafiction, and reception theory, while also expanding into contemporary fields such as media studies, multimodality, and identity politics. Co-citation analysis highlights the foundational influence of theorists like Julia Kristeva, Roland Barthes, and Gérard Genette, while also uncovering interdisciplinary linkages with critical discourse analysis through scholars such as Norman Fairclough and Teun van Dijk. The temporal and density maps illustrate a shift from classical literary references to more socio-cultural and digital applications. Additionally, the geographical collaboration network underscores the dominance of Anglophone countries, with emerging scholarly contributions from China, Italy, and Eastern Europe. This study affirms intertextuality’s sustained relevance as both a theoretical lens and a methodological tool across diverse literary and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Language serves as a communication tool. It is made up of signs and symbols. Depending on the nations in which it is utilized, it exhibits different patterns. Language has a critical role in sustaining our social lives in this age of globalization. In Indonesia, English is the foreign language that is typically taught in schools. Because Indonesia is home to many different ethnic groups and languages, the primary language spoken there is a local language known as the mother tongue. As a unifying language, Indonesian is the second language. As an international language, English has also been learned in every region. Furthermore, English is not flawless due to the significant influence of regional or dialectal languages on pronunciation. Students at Gorontalo also study English as a side subject. The author applies the method to finish this article in a way that is scientific. The research's methodology and data analysis technique demonstrate how data is retrieved and examined. Both library research and field research were the methods and techniques the author employed to gather and analyze data for this aim. Following an analysis of the research on Indonesian-English characteristics among Gorontalo people, the author discovers that the Gorontalo people have a habit of saying things like "aaa..," "eee..," and "mmm." Additionally, they typically use English, but they employ Indonesian grammar. The reason for this is that the local dialect or language continues to have an influence.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of work discipline and employee retention on employee performance at PT UGS, a technology-based service company operating in the marine sector. Employing a quantitative approach with a causal research design, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire distributed to all 94 employees using a total sampling method. The research instruments underwent tests for validity and reliability, followed by classical assumption testing including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The results indicate that both work discipline and employee retention have a positive influence on employee performance, both individually and collectively. Employees who consistently adhere to workplace standards and show long-term commitment tend to perform better. These findings underscore the importance of promoting discipline and fostering loyalty as strategic efforts to enhance organizational productivity. This study contributes to the field of human resource management by highlighting the significance of behavioral consistency and employee engagement in optimizing workforce performance, offering valuable input for HR policy development.

Abstract

Social capital the connections, shared values, and trust that foster collaboration between people and communities plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and self-sufficiency. First introduced by sociologist J.S. Coleman in 1985, the concept refers to the benefits that emerge from personal relationships and the networks people belong to. However, leaning too much on social capital for economic progress comes with its own set of risks. Given how interconnected African economies are, along with the globalized nature of modern trade, economic and political instability can spread quickly. That’s why any plan to tackle the challenges tied to social capital and economic independence must take regional dynamics into account. A common strategy focuses on three key areas: boosting economic development while ensuring environmental sustainability. The fishing communities along Krui’s Central Coast have developed distinct traits shaped by their long struggle with survival, economic instability, and environmental pressures. Over time, their way of life has been influenced by the delicate balance between relying on natural resources and facing the harsh realities of exploitation particularly the harvesting of puerulus, which has directly affected their livelihoods. Studies in this region have explored property rights and local narratives to grasp how these challenges have reshaped their economic and social dynamics. One key issue is the tension between economic self-sufficiency and the willingness to adapt to formal job requirements. Many in these communities prioritize independence over pursuing structured employment opportunities. This highlights the need for policies that support sustainable independence not just for individual fishers, but for their communities and the broader national economy. Another critical factor is social capital the trust, cooperation, and community bonds that hold these groups together. Research shows that strong social ties foster economic growth by creating trust among people. Unlike financial incentives, this trust stems from deeply ingrained cultural values and shared experiences, making it a powerful driver of resilience and progress.

Abstract

This study investigates the reception of “dry text” as a form of digital body language and the understanding of message meaning among WhatsApp users. In the evolving digital communication landscape, the absence of explicit non-verbal cues in text-based interactions, often referred to as “dry text,” presents unique challenges to message interpretation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in Stuart Hall’s Reception Theory, this study analyzes the nuanced understanding of message meaning, considering the interplay between context, relationship dynamics, and the individual’s psychological state. The study findings reveal that the interpretation of “dry text” is highly subjective and context-dependent, with factors such as relational intimacy, communication history, and current mood significantly influencing reception. While some users interpret “dry text” as efficient, others perceive it as negative, indifferent, or even rude. This study highlights the critical role of users’ communicative competence in navigating ambiguous digital cues and the potential for miscommunication when non-verbal signals are absent. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of digital body language and the complexity of meaning-making in text-based communication.

Abstract

This study aims to further explore the Punk Hijrah community under the auspices of the Laskar Berani Hijrah Foundation, focusing on understanding the meaning of hijrah among its members. The study questions whether hijrah is understood merely as a change in appearance like a Muslim, or if there is a deeper meaning related to changes in behavior and values. Jean Baudrillard's concept of Simulacra, which posits that modern humans often use things based on symbols rather than function and need, serves as a theoretical basis for this research. The research employs a qualitative method with Alfred Schutz's phenomenological approach, emphasizing the construction of meaning. Meaning construction is understood as the process of producing meaning through language, which is always dynamic and open to new interpretations and perspectives. For analysis, the Social Construction of Reality Theory is used as a guide to reveal the meaning of hijrah, the values of hijrah, the motives for hijrah, and the experiences of individuals who have experienced hijrah in the community. Specifically, this study analyzes the perspectives of punk community members who have joined the Laskar Berani Hijrah Foundation in Depok, aiming to uncover how the foundation's culture influences the hijrah desires of these punk youth. Through this research, it is hoped that the meaning of hijrah as understood by foundation members can be discovered, as well as how these values are internalized in their daily lives.

Abstract

One of the innovations in education in facing the development of the era is the implementation of the Independent Curriculum which emphasizes flexible, contextual, and student-centered learning. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Independent Curriculum at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 1, West Lampung and the challenges faced in implementing the Independent Curriculum. The data obtained involved observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Independent Curriculum is running well, supported by the quality of human resources, facilities, and adequate technology. However, there are several obstacles such as the lack of further training and ineffective communication between policy implementers. This study recommends the preparation of more structured regulations and SOPs, increasing routine training, and optimizing the use of technology to support curriculum implementation. These findings are expected to be a reference for madrasas and policy makers in improving the quality of education through the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

This empirical analysis explores the relationship between investment decisions, proxied by PER, and dividend policy, proxied by DPR, on firm value, as indicated by PBV, within manufacturing sector firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2021. Firm value serves as the dependent variable, while investment decisions act as the independent variable, and dividend policy functions as a mediating variable. The research population comprises pharmaceutical companies listed on the IDX within the specified period, with samples selected through purposive sampling based on the criteria of consistently publishing audited financial and annual reports. The study employs descriptive statistical analysis and path analysis, an extension of multiple regression techniques. The empirical findings demonstrate that investment choices contribute meaningfully and positively to the firm's market performance. Nonetheless, investment decisions do not exhibit a statistically significant effect on dividend policy, nor does dividend policy have a notable influence on corporate value. In addition, mediation analysis indicates that dividend policy does not serve as an intervening variable in the linkage of investment decisions and corporate value.
