Abstract

The term interfaith harmony is synonymous with the term tolerance. Harmony is a term filled with the meaning of good and peace. The point is to live together in society with one heart and agree not to create disputes and fights. Living in harmony is everyone's dream. Differences on the one hand can be a strength if managed properly and professionally. However, if not, differences in worldviews between multicultural countries will become a factor in national disintegration and prolonged conflict. This article aims to find out the strategy for building religious harmony in Indonesia. The method used in this research is library research, namely tracing books and findings from interfaith harmony studies. The results of this study explain that there are 6 strategies that can be carried out in building harmony between religious communities, namely internalizing tolerance, maintaining kinship (ukhuwah), mutual respect and appreciation, mutual trust and avoiding prejudice, clarifying and confirming the information obtained and acting fairly.

Abstract

The rapidly spreading phenomenon of the covid-19 pandemic has given positive growth to the development of e-markets. The restrictions on physical contact that are applied make people prefer shopping in e-markets or online shopping, but teenagers’ decision making to shop online is not always due to compulsion. The purpose of this research is to see how teenagers who are students of SMA Negeri 1 Blambangan Umpu Way Kanan Regency make decisions in shopping online. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The results showed that teenagers in making decisions to do online shopping during the covid pandemic were more due to choice rather than coercion with the existence of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) rules. They make this decision as a choice because so far they have been accustomed to doing online shopping compared to offline, besides that there are many conveniences that are generated by doing this online shopping. Teenagers’ motivation in doing online shopping is divided into two, namely internal motivation and external motivation. Internal motivation comes from pleasure, hobbies and habits. While external motivation comes from the influence of family, friends and social media.

Abstract

The presence of multimodal culture on social media platforms, primarily on Instagram Reels ground, is composed of disputable perceived information, where comprehended information cannot be instantly sought as a sole interpretation. In the approach of the multimodality concept and engaging in the combination of visual, text, and auditory analyses, which compares plenty of relevant algorithm content, the present research examines the presence of sludge content as one of the various social media content ideas. This paper proposes to define sludge content or split screen video multimodality characters as a mass media technique, particularly on Instagram reels for starring in education, marketing, and entertainment, and how they impact the perceived messages. It discusses whether the presented frames contribute to each other's connections and intentions in constructing the same services. The analysis of the valuation implies that in circumstances where there are multimodal elements in the videos, the two screens intend to serve each other purposes not necessarily the same meaning, but instead support each other with disparate roles in constructing one delivery. The study contends that the appearance of sludge content is not meant to be conceived in only one way. Instead, different individuals might perceive a different sense of understanding, which leads to a varied interpretation or potential misunderstanding.

Abstract

This article explores how writers of K-Pop Alternate Universe (AU) fanfiction on the platform X (formerly Twitter) construct hyperreal worlds centered on homosexual relationships between male K-Pop idols. Within these AU fanfictions, writers creatively craft alternative realities where idols are portrayed as gay, often rendering these imagined worlds more vivid and detailed than the idols’ real lives. Using a qualitative method with a virtual presence phenomenology approach, the study reveals that AU writers employ various strategies—such as fake chats or tweets, images, videos, audio links, and character development—to build and sustain their hyperreal narratives. These strategies serve to both construct and reinforce the existence of homosexual AU fanfiction worlds. By leveraging social media as a storytelling platform, these writers not only produce but also amplify and disseminate their hyperreal creations, demonstrating the role of X as a powerful medium for expanding the reach and influence of fan-created realities.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms of self-presentation performed by content creators on Instagram through a dramaturgical approach, as well as to explain the role of followers in shaping the creators' identity presentation on social media. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method, conducted from January to August 2023. The subjects consist of five Instagram content creators aged 20–30 years, all based in Jakarta. Data was collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study, and were further supported by expert insights in the field of social media. The data were analyzed using Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory. The findings reveal that content creators construct their digital persona on the front stage through curated visual content, a consistent communication style, and narratives tailored to audience expectations. Meanwhile, aspects of private life and emotional fatigue are managed backstage as part of a more personal space. Followers play a role in shaping content creators’ identities through comments, direct messages, and interactions that foster one sided emotional connection. Identity on Instagram is not a pure reflection of the self but the result of personal strategy, algorithmic pressure, and the ongoing demand for social connectivity.

Abstract

This study addresses the increasing prevalence of Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) in Indonesia, which continues to affect both women and men, although women remain the most vulnerable and disproportionately impacted. Focusing on the case of RK, a public figure whose explicit videos with her former partner were circulated online, this research highlights not only the fragility of privacy and consent in the digital era but also the ideological mechanisms maintained through the media’s framing and textual production. The study aims to analyze how media representation shapes public perception, moral judgment, and emotional engagement with RK’s case. Employing a qualitative approach and Sara Mills’ Critical Discourse Analysis framework, it examines multiple articles from *Idntimes.com* to uncover linguistic strategies, power relations, and gendered ideologies embedded in the narratives. The findings reveal consistent portrayals of RK as a passive, powerless, and morally suspect victim, reinforcing a culture of victim-blaming while simultaneously evoking limited empathy. These media constructions mirror broader social, cultural, and structural inequalities in Indonesia’s treatment of women involved in sexual scandals. Ultimately, this study calls for more ethical and gender-sensitive media practices that amplify victims’ voices and promote empathetic, equitable, and socially conscious public discourse on sexual violence.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data in improving agricultural efficiency from upstream to downstream processes. These technologies enable large-scale data processing, advanced analysis, and automation to optimize agricultural activities, including land preparation, pest control, irrigation, and crop distribution. IoT facilitates real-time data collection through interconnected devices, enhancing monitoring and decision-making without direct human intervention. This study employs a qualitative literature review method by analyzing various relevant sources. The findings indicate that the integration of AI, IoT, and big data significantly enhances agricultural efficiency and productivity through the development of smart farming systems. These systems allow farmers to monitor soil conditions, weather patterns, irrigation levels, and crop health in real time. AI algorithms can predict crop yields, detect early signs of plant diseases, and recommend optimal planting schedules based on historical and real-time data. IoT sensors continuously transmit field data, enabling rapid responses to environmental changes, while big data analytics supports data-driven decision-making by aggregating and interpreting large volumes of information. Beyond increasing productivity, the integration of these technologies also promotes sustainable agricultural practices by optimizing resource use, reducing waste, and minimizing environmental impact. As global food demand continues to rise, the adoption of AI, IoT, and big data is essential to ensure sustainable and efficient agricultural development in the future.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has opened new opportunities for traditional fishing communities to improve household livelihoods through social media. This study, conducted in Kampung Nelayan Oesapa, Kupang City, examines how social media is utilized as an economic strategy by local fishers. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved five purposively selected participants who actively use Facebook and WhatsApp to market their catch. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and triangulation techniques. The findings show that social media plays an important role in disseminating weather information for fishing planning, providing market price information that strengthens fishers’ bargaining positions, and expanding distribution networks beyond the local community. However, several challenges remain, including limited digital literacy, unstable internet connectivity, and social resistance among community members unfamiliar with technology. The study concludes that social media functions not only as a communication medium but also as a form of economic capital that transforms traditional fish marketing practices. This research contributes to the understanding of social media use in maritime communities and offers practical insights for promoting digital- based economic empowerment in coastal areas.

Abstract

The increasingly intensive use of social media in everyday life has raised various concerns about its impact on mental health, particularly in relation to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. This study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between social media use and these three aspects of mental health through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Data was obtained from scientific articles published between 2018 and 2025 with the following inclusion criteria: discussing the relationship between social media use and anxiety, depression, or self-esteem; using a psychological approach; and published in indexed journals. Qualitative thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns of relationships and psychological mechanisms that emerged from various findings. The results of the study show that intensive social media use is associated with increased anxiety and depression and decreased self-esteem. The main psychological mechanism found is upward social comparison, which is the tendency for individuals to compare themselves with the ideal standards displayed on social media, thereby triggering negative self-evaluation. Decreased self-esteem was found to be an important mediator linking social media use to the emergence of symptoms of depression and anxiety. This study confirms that uncontrolled social media use has the potential to worsen mental health, especially among adolescents and young adults. These findings have important implications for psychological interventions, digital literacy, and policies for healthier social media use.
