The development of media platforms in the digital and internet era has made promotional activities through audiovisual content a necessity. According to the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) data from 2023, 55.06% of Indonesians enjoy accessing online videos. With the advancement of technology, almost all segments of society are able to create video content, especially for social media. However, this is not the case for the organic farmers in Cikurubuk Village, Sumedang Regency. As farmers, they lack the skills to produce promotional content professionally, including video promotions. Yet, they need such content to introduce their organic rice products to a wider audience. As a result, the organic rice they produce is not well-known in the community.

To support the organic farmers of Cikurubuk Village, the Film and Television Production Study Program at Widyatama University conducted a community service project by creating a documentary film in the form of a profile video introducing organic farming in Cikurubuk Village, which can be used as promotional content for Cikurubuk's organic rice. This profile video production employed the documentary film production method, which includes the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production. This method was based on the documentary film production theory of Rosenthal and Eckhardt. The project resulted in a comprehensive profile video about the organic rice from Cikurubuk Village, which also serves to promote their products to the wider public.

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The reality of religious radicalism in Indonesia is increasingly troubling every day, especially after reform. Religious radicalism is displayed in heartbreaking (inhuman) acts of dishonesty, such as the Bali Bombing, Poso tragedy, Ambon, Sambas, Tolikara, etc. All that is evil, such as the act of killing, terrorizing, burning, destroying fellow humans is strangely framed in the name of religion. This paper wants to limit itself to discussing religious radicalism in Indonesia from a philosophical and theological point of view. The method used is the verstehen method by listening to the reality of radicalism and looking at it in the eyes of philosophy. This becomes important for the growth of a good attitude in objectively viewing religions and living them properly in the context of a multicultural and Pancasila Indonesia.

Religious education must be in harmony with the values of the nation's called Pancasila.

Early Childhood Empowerment In Improving Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors in The Raudahatul Athfal, Sukabumi

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) encompasses health-related practices driven by personal awareness, enabling families and their members to independently manage their health and actively participate in community activities. Cultivating healthy habits from an early age is crucial, particularly during the preschool years (ages 3-6), a period marked by rapid growth and a natural inclination to explore. Proper nutritional intake and overall health are essential to support this growth. Among the factors influencing early childhood health, clean and healthy living behaviors play a significant role. This community service initiative focuses on instilling these habits in children at Raudhatul Athfal (RA) schools, chosen due to the prevalence of diseases stemming from limited knowledge about PHBS. The program includes interactive health education activities, such as engaging games like the Puzzle of Cita-citaku, Healthy Food Dice, and Clap Your Hands. Running from November 2023 to April 2024, the program has achieved notable results, with 80% of participants demonstrating the ability to simulate proper handwashing techniques, identify healthy food options, dispose of garbage appropriately, and maintain personal hygiene. This initiative not only enhances children's awareness and habits but also supports broader objectives, such as promoting student engagement beyond the campus and applying lecturers’ expertise to benefit the community. The collaborative effort underscores the importance of integrating education and practical activities to foster a healthier, more informed generation.

Fitriaty Fitriaty, Asyhadi Mufsi Sadzali, Amir Husni, Ade Octavia — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Archaeological research in various parts of Indonesia has helped the construction of local and national identities as a unifying narrative of the nation. The results of archaeological research on the Srivijaya Kingdoms have been used as a historical basis for building Indonesia's identity as a maritime and agrarian nation spread across the archipelago. Archaeological research has grown rapidly since the 1800s and focuses on material culture such as artifacts and features without seeing other non-material objects around them. This paradigm produces a limited narrative that only views humans as the solo actors in the process of cultural formation in civilization, while non-material objects such as the natural environment have been marginalized from the process of identity reconstruction. This phenomenon raises the question of what approach can accommodate material and non-material culture used in one whole perspective in reconstructing identity. This article is theoretical with a desk study of Witmore's thoughts. From the review, it is known that the symmetrical archaeology approach places material and non-material culture as equal data in interpreting the past which produces a more in-depth narrative with various perspectives. Symmetrical archaeology is also able to see the role of non-material culture such as the environment, and thought as active actors in the process of cultural formation. Symmetrical archaeology bridges the connectivity between identities in comprehensive narrative.

Nurhasanah Nurhasanah, Nurul Hermina — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the effect of perceived organizational support, organizational justice, and leadership style on employee job satisfaction with organizational commitment as a mediating variable (case study of PT. XYZ). The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a descriptive verification approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to 103 employees of PT. XYZ. The sample size was determined using a non-probability sampling technique, which is a sampling technique that does not provide an opportunity or chance for each member of the population to be selected as a sample. This study selected samples from the entire population of 103 people. The tool used to analyze the data in this study was SmartPLS-23, 2024. The data obtained were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique to test the relationship between variables. The results showed that perceived organizational support did not have a positive effect on organizational commitment, but there was a direct effect on job satisfaction while organizational justice and leadership style had a positive effect on organizational commitment, which then affected job satisfaction and confirmed the mediating role of organizational commitment between organizational justice on job satisfaction and leadership style on job satisfaction. The statistical results show significant t-statistics and p-values, indicating a strong predictive relevance of the model. The statistical results of leadership style on job satisfaction directly show weak t-statistics and p-values, so that leadership style does not have a direct effect on job satisfaction, but has a positive effect through organizational commitment, which then affects job satisfaction. This indicates the need for increased support and fairness from the organization to increase employee commitment and job satisfaction. In particular, the results of the study highlight the need for a better leadership style strategy to achieve more optimal employee loyalty and job satisfaction.

Via Amalia Lesmana, Nabilah Ananda Razani — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the extent of Indonesian society's acceptance of Starlink amidst the convenience of existing internet services and identify the factors influencing its adoption. A quantitative approach was employed using SPSS data processing, with online questionnaires and interviews as the primary data collection methods. Data analysis was conducted by surveying respondents who use Starlink to assess their level of acceptance. The findings indicate that overall acceptance of Starlink remains relatively low, with statistical influences from factors such as age, gender, cost, and the type of internet service currently in use. As internet service demand continues to rise, Starlink offers a high-quality, low-latency satellite-based internet solution capable of reaching remote areas. However, its acceptance and adoption are not entirely positive and are influenced by various factors. This study concludes that only certain factors significantly impact Starlink’s acceptance, although the overall perception remains relatively positive, with users tending to fall into the early majority category. Most Indonesians still rely on cable and mobile internet services. Therefore, this study suggests that Starlink should develop effective strategies to enhance awareness and education on satellite-based internet usage, particularly in regions that prefer cable and mobile internet due to its affordability and accessibility.

Dhani Aprilianti, Umi Narimawati, M. Yani Syafei — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The increasing development of digitalization in marketing is further driving the use of Social Media Marketing and Live Streaming as key strategies in enhancing impulse buying. This research aims to analyze the influence of these two variables on consumers' impulsive purchasing decisions. Employing a quantitative method, this study involved 110 female millennial respondents in Bogor City. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression tests. The research results indicate that Social Media Marketing has a positive and significant influence on impulse buying (t-statistic = 2.426; p = 0.017). This suggests that attractive and interactive marketing strategies on social media can encourage spontaneous purchasing decisions. Furthermore, Live Streaming was also proven to contribute significantly to increasing impulse buying (t-statistic = 2.283; p = 0.024). The trustworthiness dimension emerged as the dominant factor in the effectiveness of live streaming, where the higher the level of consumer trust in the seller, the greater the likelihood of them making impulsive purchases. The simultaneous test results (F-test) show that the combination of Social Media Marketing and Live Streaming together significantly influences impulse buying (F-statistic = 10.794; p = 0.000). However, the R-Square value of 0.157 indicates that these two variables only explain 15.7% of the variability in impulse buying, while the remaining 84.3% is influenced by other factors such as discounts, product quality, and consumer psychological aspects. These findings provide implications for business actors to optimize digital marketing strategies to increase impulsive purchases. Future research is expected to explore additional factors and expand the respondent scope to gain a deeper understanding of consumer behavior.

Critical Discourse Analysis Ruth Wodak in The “ Bocah-Bocah Kosong” Youtube Video

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The entertainment industry is experiencing a notable evolution in humor, exemplified by the widely acclaimed content “Bocah-Bocah Kosong” on the YouTube WKWK Project by Genflix, which features women characterized by their oriental appearances and "Kosong" personas. This study seeks to elucidate the exploitation and manipulation prevalent within the entertainment industry through the application of Ruth Wodak's critical discourse analysis framework. The investigation was conducted by analyzing the textual content of episodes 1 to 30 of “Bocah-Bocah Kosong,” supplemented by interviews with four members of the production team, observational methods, and a review of relevant literature. The findings of this study, within the framework of cognitive dimension analysis, indicate that the production team engaged in exploitation throughout the entire process, from planning to scripting. The examination of the socio-psychological dimensions reveals that the manipulation of innocence, ignorance, and sexuality is employed to construct the identities of the characters in “Bocah-Bocah Kosong” through diverse modes of communication. An analysis of the linguistic dimension revealed that manipulative disclaimers were employed to evoke humor and exploit themes of innocence, ignorance, and sexuality as overarching narratives, alongside the strategic use of editing to enhance the text's impact. This manipulation is normalized by the entertainment business, which is ironic given that the owner of Genflix is a woman.
