Abstract

Plant naming in Javanese culture is not merely descriptive but is laden with metaphorical meaning that reflects cultural values and collective cognition. This study aims to uncover the cognitive processes behind the use of metaphors in the names of banana varieties (gêdhang) in the Javanese language. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through documentation of the Javanese dictionary, observation, and interviews with local informants. Data analysis was conducted using a referential approach and a reflective-introspective method to identify the source domains, target domains, and conceptual structure of the metaphors. The results show that the metaphors in banana names take the form of idiomatic phrases, with loci based on construction attributes. Source domains include place, beauty, small things, position, and spirit beings, while target domains involve flavor, color, texture, seeds, and the number of fruits. The discussion highlights how language reflects local wisdom and cultural values, and how metaphors function conceptually in organizing human experiences. This study enriches conceptual metaphor theory and opens avenues for further exploration in other ethnobotanical lexicons.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains one of the most essential yet challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Traditional reading instruction often emphasizes teacher-centered approaches that limit students’ active involvement in meaning-making. This study investigates the impact of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on enhancing EFL students’ reading comprehension skills, engagement, and strategy use. A quasi-experimental design was employed with two groups of undergraduate EFL learners: an experimental group (n = 35) receiving PBL-based reading instruction and a control group (n = 35) taught through traditional teacher-led methods. Data were collected using a reading comprehension test, an engagement questionnaire, and a reading strategies inventory. Results revealed that the PBL group achieved significantly higher post-test scores than the control group, indicating improved reading comprehension performance. Moreover, PBL fostered greater behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement, alongside the increased use of higher-order reading strategies such as inferencing, summarizing, and critical questioning. These findings suggest that PBL provides a more interactive and meaningful framework for teaching reading, enabling learners to become active participants in constructing textual meaning. The study highlights pedagogical implications for EFL educators, recommending the integration of real-world problems into reading instruction to enhance comprehension outcomes.

Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable construction has driven the development of green concrete incorporating recycled waste materials. This study investigates the flexural strength of concrete partially substituting fine aggregate with waste tire rubber powder at 0%, 10%, and 30% replacement levels. Concrete beams measuring 150 mm × 150 mm × 600 mm were cast and tested at 28 days using third-point loading in accordance with ASTM C78. The experimental results show that the 10% rubber powder mix achieved the highest flexural strength, with a 52.5% increase compared to the control. In contrast, the 30% mix exhibited a moderate reduction in strength. Despite the slight decline at higher replacement levels, all mixes retained acceptable structural performance and workability without chemical admixtures. The findings suggest that partial substitution of fine aggregate with rubber powder up to 10% can enhance flexural behavior while promoting environmentally friendly concrete solutions.

Abstract

This study investigates the quality of translations of assertive speech acts produced by nursing and midwifery students. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with a fixed case study design, the research aims to (1) compare translation quality between the two student groups, (2) analyze differences in translation quality, and (3) identify factors influencing these differences. The data consist of 100 assertive speech acts categorized into convincing (37), conveying (44), and stating (19). Five translation techniques were identified: literal translation, transposition, modulation, reduction, and adaptation. The results show that nursing students obtained a higher overall translation quality score (2.78) than midwifery students (2.54), indicating better accuracy, while translations produced by midwifery students demonstrated higher readability. These findings provide practical implications for translation pedagogy, particularly in designing health-related translation instruction that emphasizes both accuracy and readability in academic contexts.

Abstract

Media convergence has transformed communication patterns and intensified social media engagement among Generation Z (born 1997–2012). This group’s constant connectivity increases their vulnerability to psychological pressure, particularly the fear of missing out (FOMO). This study aims to analyze how TikTok, as a dominant product of media convergence, contributes to the emergence and intensification of FOMO among adolescents. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, involving semi-structured interviews with 12 Generation Z participants and non-participant observation of TikTok usage patterns over a four-week period. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring behavioral and psychological indicators of FOMO. The findings show that TikTok’s algorithmic content flow, rapid trend cycles, and participatory culture significantly trigger FOMO, compelling individuals to frequently check updates, follow trends, and compare themselves with peers. Participants experiencing high FOMO also reported lower life satisfaction, increased anxiety, and difficulties maintaining emotional stability. These conditions were found to hinder aspects of adolescent development, particularly identity formation and autonomy. The study concludes that FOMO represents a critical psychosocial impact of media convergence and underscores the need for digital literacy and mental-health-oriented interventions to help Generation Z navigate online environments more healthily.

Abstract

This study explores the use of slang within the K-Pop community on the social media accounts of @soohyunk216 on Instagram and TikTok. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the researchers analyzed 63 data points of slang expressions collected from comments between September and October 2024. The study classifies slang usage based on Bloomfield’s (1933) four forms of slang; abbreviations, funny mispronunciations, shortened forms, as well as interjections and examines their social functions through Eble’s (2006) framework. Findings reveal that slang is predominantly used to shorten writing, express communal support and identity, convey humor, and implement euphemized or sarcastic language including hate speech. This research confirms the dynamic role of slang in digital fan communities, reflecting both linguistic creativity and social bonding. The results contribute to sociolinguistic understanding of online language variation and offer valuable insights for intercultural communication and translation studies involving multilingual digital communities.
