An Innovation Communication Process for the Transformation of Coastal Women in the Lembeh Islands

2025-07-24T13:42:33+07:00

Women's communication styles generally have distinctive characteristics, such as being emotionally expressive, frequently using body language, tending to avoid direct confrontation, communicating in detail, using indirect language, and actively listening. The quality of this communication is greatly influenced by the resources and environment in which they operate. In the past, women were often considered a weaker group than men. However, today, they have proven capable of making significant contributions in various aspects of life. In today's digital context, the spirit of women's emancipation is growing stronger. Women are seen as equal to men, especially in terms of their roles and contributions through communication. Women in urban areas tend to use modern communication styles, while women in island regions still maintain conventional communication styles that are slowly transforming through innovation. This study found that the conventional communication model of coastal women is still rooted in traditional social systems, namely direct communication between individuals in the context of daily activities, such as business transactions for products caught by fishermen. However, modern developments have encouraged innovation, where coastal women have begun processing seafood into attractively packaged dried food products and marketing them through digital platforms. Digital media, including dedicated websites, have become a means of transforming communication styles and empowering coastal women to respond creatively and adaptively to social and economic changes.

Renewed Conflicts in the Middle East (Dynamics and Transformations)

2025-08-21T11:20:21+07:00

The Middle East is witnessing a wave of renewed conflicts that are no longer the traditional form of interstate conflict. Rather, they have evolved into more complex and fragmented forms due to multiple factors, including the disintegration of the nation-state, the rise of non-state actors, and increasing regional and international interventions. This study examines the new dynamics governing these conflicts, analyzing the shift in the nature of actors from states to militias and transnational groups, as well as the shift in the tools of conflict, which have shifted from regular wars to asymmetric and proxy wars. The study also discusses the role of major powers such as the United States, Russia, and China in reshaping the contours of conflict in the region, and anticipates future scenarios in light of global geopolitical transformations. The study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the structure of modern conflict, exploring the opportunities for settlement, and the potential risks if comprehensive political solutions continue to be absent.

Means and Objectives of Social Rehabilitation within Correctional Institutions

2025-08-21T11:27:01+07:00

The role of rehabilitation and reform is limited to the human need of the deviant and the delinquent to bring him back to the right path and keep him away from evil and criminal behavior. Rehabilitation means that the implementation of the punitive punishment should be through the method of refinement and reform so that the convict can be qualified to adapt to society and not return to crime in the future. Rehabilitation in this description is a type of special deterrence, except that it is devoid of the element of pain and is dominated by the element of assistance in following the right path in the future. Social rehabilitation is, in fact, the offspring of modern penal policy, which relied on scientific experimental thinking and called for the necessity of protecting society from the criminal, not from the crime. This is done by examining the personality of this criminal, determining the degree of his criminal danger and its causes, and then taking the necessary measures to confront and treat this danger. Thus, the center of gravity shifted from the crime to the criminal. This shift led to the prevalence of new procedural and objective ideas for this policy, such as examining the personality of the criminal, determining the degree of his criminal danger, and treating it by choosing appropriate measures. Social rehabilitation is included within a general penal policy that aims to achieve crime prevention and reform criminals so that they return to society as good members, and behave like honorable citizens who seek to secure their livelihood by playing a constructive role in their society.

The Political Dynamics of Women in the Democratic Party in Gowa Regency

2025-09-03T20:19:31+07:00

This study investigates the dynamics of women's political power within the Democratic Party in Gowa Regency, aiming to explore their evolving roles and the implications for leadership and policy-making. It highlights the growing political participation of women despite persistent structural and cultural barriers such as gender stereotypes and limited access to resources. Using a qualitative approach with triangulated data collection and inductive analysis, the research found that the Democratic Party actively fosters female engagement through initiatives like Garda Perempuan (Women’s Guard), leadership training, and inclusive organizational structures. While women hold strategic importance as the majority of voters, their representation in parliament remains limited and often symbolic. The study concludes that increased participation has yet to significantly influence policy outcomes, which are still dominated by male perspectives. Challenges such as internalized stigma, lack of confidence, and tokenism persist. Nevertheless, female politicians in Gowa have demonstrated strong leadership in community empowerment, disaster response, and public education. The research underscores the need for structural party support, cultural transformation, and capacity-building strategies to move beyond quota-based representation toward substantive gender equality in political leadership.

Language and Power: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Political Speeches in English

2025-09-04T11:35:46+07:00

This study explores the intersection of language and power through a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Donald Trump's "America First" Inaugural Address. By applying Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model of CDA, the research examines how Trump's rhetoric constructs and reinforces political ideologies, mobilizes public sentiment, and legitimizes power structures. The analysis focuses on the ways in which Trump's language frames social issues, assigns blame to political elites, and promises restoration of national pride and prosperity. The findings reveal that Trump's speech employs a populist discourse that strategically invokes economic and cultural anxieties to consolidate power and authority. This study contributes to the broader understanding of how political discourse functions to shape public perception and influence socio-political dynamics in contemporary contexts.
