Abstract

The treatment of TB faces many obstacles, both from the patient’s perspective and their environment. Therefore, the presence of TB survivors in the treatment process is expected to assist TB survivors during the recovery and post-recovery stages. Many approaches can be made to deal with TB, including the social and behavior change communication (SBCC) approach. This study aims to analyze the use of SBCC by TB survivors from the Terjang Foundation in treating TB in Bandung. This study adopts a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, field observations, and literature reviews. The study results show that SBCC has been implemented as follows: 1) Advocacy is carried out through meetings to seek support from the government and other stakeholders; 2) Social mobilization is carried out by involving stakeholders, including the Health Office, community elements, and TB survivors. Social mobilization is conducted through TB Day activities, seminars, and patient visits; 3) Education is carried out by explaining TB treatment to survivors and accompanying TB patients during drug administration in hospitals.

Abstract

Pengelolaan privasi di tengah perkembangan media sosial seakan berada di posisi dilematis. Di satu sisi media sosial memberikan ruang untuk berekspresi dan mengungkapan diri termasuk untuk segala informasi yang masuk dalam konteks pribadi. Namun di sisi lain hal tersebut berpotensi pada pelanggaran privasi. Uniknya, fitur second account kerap dianggap zona aman untuk mengungkapkan diri secara lebih terbuka. Pada situasi itulah management privsi diperlukan. Dalam teori communication privacy management (CPM) oleh Sandra Petronio, batasan seseorang dalam berperilaku harus ditentukan oleh dirinya sendiri. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan wawancara dan dokumentasi beberapa unggahan di second account informan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan jika berbagai pelanggaran yang terjadi di akun kedua disebabkan karena kurangnya pengetahuan hingga pemahaman yang salah kaprah jika data akan tersimpan aman pada orang terdekat yang dipercaya. Padahal orang yang dipilih masuk ke lingkaran akun kedua juga rentan untuk membuka data privasi pemilik akun bahkan menyebarkannya.Setelah penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi masukan bagi pengguna media sosial untuk lebih bijak dalam mengelola privasinya bahkan dalam fitur yang dianggap aman.

Abstract

Tackling climate change is the 13th goal in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the simple actions that can be taken in order to prevent the issue of climate change is the use of environmentally friendly straws, specifically the use of stainless steel straws. In order for the public to know about the issue of climate change, social media has an important role. This study aims to see the effect of social media exposure related to climate change issues on behavior to use stainless steel straws. In addition, this study uses predictors of the Theory of Planned Behavior, namely attitudes, subjective norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC). By using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the results of the study show that attitudes, subjective norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) directly influence an intentions and indirectly influence the behavior of using stainless steel straws. Another finding is that exposure to social media related to climate change issues owned by family and close friends also has a direct positive effect on attitudes, subjective norms, Perceived Behavioral Control, and behavioral intentions, which in turn have a positive indirect effect on the behavior of using stainless steel straws.

Data collection techniques by distributing Google form questionnaires and FGDs. Data analysis technique with multiple linear regression analysis. The results are based on a sample of 566 students, found that motivation and intensity simultaneously influence the behaviour of sharing Islamic content. The effect value of the independent variable on the dependent variable is 58.5%. The motivation for sharing Islamic content includes self-actualization motivation in preaching as much as 75.6%, and to get responses from others as much as 72.4%.

Abstract

Digital ICT plays a strategic role in transforming input-intensive to knowledge-intensive agriculture. Its use has close relations to the farmers’ characteristics. This study aims to analyze the farmers’ characteristics and the intensity of utilizing various digital ICT applications/platforms. The survey was conducted on 150 smartphone-using farmers from Boyolali District, Central Java Province, Indonesia, accompanied by interviews and online observations. This research identifies digital divides and inequalities in leveraging Android farming applications, Facebook groups of farmers, WAG of farmers’ groups, Internet/Google information resources and YouTube. The correlation test indicated a significant correlation between gender, age, education, farming land area, farm income, internet quota budget, the availability of PC/Laptop (besides smartphones), and participation in farmers’ group with the intensity of leveraging some digital ICT applications. These correlations are unique and reflect farmers’ receptions and preferences for using digital ICT applications. This novelty is crucial for the development of knowledge-intensive agriculture that emphasizes the strategic role of development communication to facilitate knowledge sharing, involvement, and capacity development among farmers. Without understanding farmers’ characteristics and vulnerabilities, digital divide and inequality among farmers will continue to be reproduced.

Abstract

The release of the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation on the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (Permendikbudristek PPKS) No. 30 of 2021 is expected by the government to overcome the problem of sexual violence that occurs on campus. But apparently, this regulation has caused cons from various parties who disagree with the phrase "without the victim's consent" which is contained in several articles. Public opinion ensued on social media and news related to the pros and cons appeared in various online media. Media coverage of crisis issues can exacerbate the crisis that occurs in an organization. The crisis research related to Permendikbudristek PPKS was chosen to see how media framed the crisis. A total of 35 articles from Republika.co.id and Kompas.com were analyzed. Using quantitative content analysis, this study was carried out by exploring 5 media frames that usually appear in news related to crisis: attribution of responsibility, conflict, economic consequences, morality, and human interest. The result is conflict are the most dominant frames followed by responsibility frames. Meanwhile, morality and human interest are the least used frames. Crisis frames are important for PR practitioners to understand media coverage during a crisis and provide the right response to reduce its impact.

Abstract

In the September 16-22, 2019, edition of Tempo, the magazine cover was shown painting a picture of President Joko Widodo’s face with his long nose like a Pinocchio wooden doll. One year later, Tempo republished the magazine cover by displaying a picture of the same figure, namely Pinocchio. But this time in the background of the DPR plenary session on the 11-25 October 2020 edition. This study examines the sign's meaning, the repetition factor in the sign, and the attractiveness of the Tempo magazine cover. The qualitative research method used in this research is the semiotic approach of Charles Sanders Peirce. This research produces a representation of meaning on the two covers, a form of people’s disappointment in public officials for the discrepancy between their words and actions. The factor of repetition of the “Pinocchio” sign that occurs on both covers based on data and facts is found repeatedly. The attractiveness of the Tempo magazine cover includes characteristics, point of view, and target audience, and this attraction results in a business strategy for Tempo magazine.
