Sausan Thifaal Atiqah, Arie Gunawan H Zubair, Tarmizi Thalib — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0800

This study aims to determine the effect of social comparison on body dissatisfaction among female adolescents who use Instagram. Social comparison refers to the process in which individuals compare themselves to others in terms of physical appearance, while body dissatisfaction refers to the feeling of being unhappy with one’s body or physical appearance. This study used a quantitative method with a survey involving 385 female adolescents aged 18-22 who actively use Instagram. Data were collected using validated scales for body dissatisfaction and social comparison. Regression analysis results showed a significant relationship between social comparison and body dissatisfaction, with an F-value of 4.378 and a significance of 0.037. The R-Square value of 0.011 indicates that social comparison explains only 11% of the variance in body dissatisfaction. These results suggest that the more frequently adolescents engage in social comparison on Instagram, the higher their levels of body dissatisfaction. Therefore, the use of social media, especially Instagram, can exacerbate negative body perceptions among female adolescents, ultimately having a detrimental impact on mental health. Interventions are needed to reduce harmful social comparisons and promote self-acceptance.

Hanafi Hanafi, Aris Sunarya, Sri Roekminiati — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Land legality issues remain a persistent agrarian challenge in Indonesia, primarily due to low public awareness and participation in land certification programs. The Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL) aims to accelerate comprehensive land asset legalization; however, its implementation in Jambi City faces technical, structural, and psychosocial obstacles. This study aims to assess public awareness and compliance regarding land rights, evaluate the effectiveness of participatory education in the PTSL implementation, and formulate a policy strategy aligned with local conditions. A qualitative approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews and field observations with residents, community leaders, and program implementers. The findings reveal that low levels of awareness and compliance stem from limited understanding of the certification benefits, procedural complexity, and distrust rooted in previous bureaucratic experiences. Participatory education plays a vital role in fostering critical awareness and enhancing community engagement. The proposed policy strategies include social mapping, integrated education throughout program stages, participatory incentives, cross-sector collaboration, and community-based monitoring. This study recommends a shift in the PTSL approach from a procedural focus to a community empowerment model to ensure more inclusive and sustainable implementation.

The community empowerment program for sugar palm farmers in Dusun Batu Delapan through the CSR program Meghgek Betuah of PT Pertamina aims to enhance farmers' production capacity. However, challenges related to limited land and raw materials have hindered the sustainability of this program. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Meghgek Betuah program in Batu Delapan. The research method employed is a qualitative approach with a case study design, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation.The findings indicate that the program has not been optimal in increasing sugar palm production. Among the four aspects of community empowerment proposed by Robert Chambers (people-centered, participation, empowerment, and sustainability), only the sustainability aspect has not been fully achieved. The limited availability of raw materials and land has prevented farmers from significantly increasing production. The other three aspects—people-centered, participation, and empowerment—have been met, as evidenced by the implementation of training, active participation of farmers, and the application of training outcomes in the farmers' daily activities. Overall, while the program has succeeded in certain aspects, sustainability remains a key challenge in improving sugar palm production in Batu Delapan.

In the digital era, social media has become a primary source of public opinion data that can be analyzed using artificial intelligence (AI). The utilization of AI, particularly in digital content analysis, enables researchers to extract information from social media comments more efficiently than conventional methods. This study aims to explore how AI is used in digital content analysis to understand communication patterns, sentiment, and discourse development on social media.

Additionally, this study analyzes social media comments using AI-based software, such as NVivo and other NLP tools. The findings reveal that AI enhances efficiency and accuracy in sentiment analysis, reduces subjective bias, and enables deeper insights into public opinion. However, key challenges identified include dataset bias and the interpretability of AI models. Therefore, the combination of Explainable AI and a multimodal approach in the future is expected to improve the effectiveness of AI-based sentiment analysis in digital communication.

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Speaking fluency and confidence are crucial in second language acquisition, particularly for young learners who require engaging and interactive methods to enhance their communication skills. Traditional rote-based learning often fails to provide meaningful practice, leading to anxiety and lack of confidence in speaking. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in improving elementary students' confidence and fluency in speaking English. The research was conducted over eight sessions using a qualitative approach. Interactive teaching methods, including songs, roleplays, games, and self-description competitions, were implemented. Data were collected through observations and student progress evaluations, focusing on pronunciation, sentence construction, and fluency.
