Maulina Pia Wulandari — 2023-12-29

The development of digital technology in communication and information is no longer unavoidable in the field of public relations. Public relations no longer sees big data and artificial intelligence as unfamiliar and intimidating entities. Public relations professionals must possess a comprehensive understanding of digital technologies, including big data and artificial intelligence, in order to effectively manage and navigate the technical and management aspects of their field. However, it is crucial for public relations to acknowledge the potential adverse consequences that may arise from the use of big data and AI. Indonesian PR practitioners currently lack the necessary skills and expertise in dealing with big data and AI. To address this gap, it is crucial to expedite the development of knowledge in the field of digital public relations and foster collaborations with various stakeholders. These efforts are essential for preparing future professionals in the field of public relations in Indonesia.

Prita Suci Nurcandrani — 2024-01-31

GERMAS (Healthy Living Community Movement) is a program initiated by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia to carry out comprehensive and holistic interventions to cultivate healthy living behavior in society. Regarding to this issue, several activities were launched in the forms of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative efforts as a continuum of care or integrated sustainable care in line with the spirit of community empowerment and increasing multisectoral action. This study is to examine the implementation of Management by Objectives (MBO) Theory of Peter Drucker through the Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in GERMAS program. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method with emphasis on triangulation of data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and literacy studies. In-depth observations and interviews were carried out with the Youth Posyandu team leader at the Puskesmas North Purwokerto 2, Banyumas District Nutrition Expert, Banyumas District pediatrician, and 15 Youth Posyandu cadres as an implementation of the use of data source triangulation. The other data were obtained from written documents such as Basic Health Research, Government Regulations from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Technical Instructions for Organizing Youth Posyandu from the Ministry of Health, as well as the results of internal meetings at the Banyumas District Service regarding the implementation of Youth Posyandu. The results revealed that, (1) The stages of top management commitment have been clearly defined and stated in Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 1 of 2017. (2) The participation stage is marked by the setting of more concrete goals, namely preparing for a demographic bonus in the 2020-2035 range, Golden Indonesia 2045, and threats to the mental and physical health of teenagers. The release of the Technical Guidelines for the Implementation of Youth Posyandu in 2018 by the Ministry of Health constitutes an indicator of guidelines for program implementation. However, at present the implementation has not optimally conducted in various Puskesmas. This is caused by a lack of human resources, daily routine work that takes up a lot of time, and other programs already running also need attention. (3) The communication stage is marked by the implementation of the program for adolescents. The importance of raising awareness regarding the crucial importance of this program is not easy because teenagers consider that the age of 10-19 years is a healthy and productive age, so invitations to join Posyandu are less attractive.

The findings emphasise SM Entertainment's skilled integration of virtual and physical realms with the SMCU concept. Virtual personas appear to transcend digital boundaries, creating a captivating aura of mystery. Humans form strong emotional connections with these virtual characters, most likely in the real world, giving rise to a feeling of wanting to live together with the virtual characters. In addition, the research highlights the importance of virtual character's interaction in the real-world environment, prompting reflection on technology-mediated human engagement. Incorporating philosophical quotations, particularly those of Jean-Paul Sartre, adds to the philosophical consideration of the narrative. In conclusion, this study offers a profound insight into the role of new media, such as YouTube, in the creation of a distinct narrative experience. It encourages a scholarly discussion of the intersections of semiotics, identity, and technology in today's popular culture.

Preventing Dropouts in Tuberculosis Treatment with “Griya Bebas TBC”

Bhisma Dharma — 2024-01-31

Tuberculosis, a major public health issue, has received international attention and is included in the Sustainable Development Goals. With 969,000 recorded cases in 2021, Indonesia ranked second in the world for TB cases, after only India. This is a 145,000-case increase, or 17%, from 2020, creating a significant obstacle to achieving TB eradication by 2030. Dropout cases exacerbate this challenge, impeding progress toward tuberculosis elimination. Indonesia’s treatment success rate currently stands at 83%, falling short of the 90% target. Dropouts are linked to several issues, such as patient education about tuberculosis, lost motivation, drug side effects, and access to healthcare facilities. This situation underlined the importance of comprehensive support for patients, particularly from families, government entities, and healthcare facilities, to ensure consistent motivation for continuing treatment. The main solution is the provision of patient education, psychological support, and physical condition forming the foundation for the “Griya Bebas TBC” program. This study employed a literature review to outline the program’s framework. Griya Bebas TBC establishes a supportive environment to sustain patient motivation and deliver accurate information about tuberculosis, drug side effects, and treatment procedures. The primary objective of Griya Bebas TBC is to reduce the tuberculosis patient dropout rate by offering comprehensive information and fostering a supportive environment. The program adopts two complementary approaches: group interaction via popular social media platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram and community-based approach, and individualized engagement through online health consultation applications. WhatsApp, a globally prevalent social media tool, offers a conducive platform for disseminating information to patients. Utilizing social media platforms and applications addresses issues surrounding information dissemination and healthcare facility accessibility. Health workers engaged through these platforms can provide recommendations if a patient’s condition warrants further intervention beyond consultation.

Dian Lestari Miharja — 2024-01-31

Disasters are events that are difficult for science to predict. There are many types of disasters that occur, especially in the Bayan area, North Lombok Regency. One of the disasters that occurs is a disaster due to climate change. Many parties are paying attention to this situation, giving rise to various forms of training and technical guidance related to disaster mitigation. Various forms of mitigation knowledge are accepted by the community. One of them is community knowledge and adaptation to disasters based on local knowledge which can be said to be part of the disaster communication process. If linked to local knowledge in disaster studies, this communication is characterized by symbolic language reflected in dances, games, rituals, etc. This communication symbol has been formulated from generation to generation based on prevailing traditions. So it is in this context that traditional traditions as local knowledge emerge as an alternative source of knowledge.

Founder's Personal Branding in Islamic Boarding School Education in Madura

Dewi Quraisyin — 2024-01-31

For the Madurese people, Islamic boarding schools remain the main reference in looking for educational institutions. The Madurese people's trust in Islamic boarding schools cannot be separated from the influence of the kiai as founders. Kiai has the most important role in the development of an Islamic boarding school. As a founder, the kiai is the "soul" of the Islamic boarding school. Personal branding and a strong professional image of a kiai will become“buzz” in building public trust in the Islamic boarding school he leads. The founder's personal branding will have a significant impact on the credibility and level of public trust in the Islamic boarding school. This will also make it easier to attract public interest in Islamic boarding schools, as well as build wider connections and networks which will provide many benefits for the sustainability of Islamic boarding schools. Moreover, if the Islamic boarding school is a new Islamic boarding school that is competing fiercely with other Islamic boarding schools that previously existed in Madura and had a good reputation.

The competence of the founder (kiai) in religious knowledge, his dedication and integrity as an Islamic religious leader, and supported by other essential abilities, will become a Unique Value Proposition (UVP) for a kiai. This UVP will form a reputation that will stick in the minds of the public as a kiai's personal branding. This personal branding will highlight the personal strengths that kiai have to build reputation, build trust, and communicate the differentiation that kiai have in developing their Islamic boarding school. Kiai will appear as the "face" of his Islamic boarding school. This "face" will appear in society so that people choose the Islamic boarding school they lead as a place of learning for themselves or their children.

This qualitative research will examine the UVP owned by the founder of the Nahdlatut Ta'limiyah Pamekasan Madura Islamic boarding school, namely kiai Musleh Adnan. Kiai Musleh Adnan was previously a religious preacher whose name was widely known to the public, especially in Madura. With the ability to lecture using simple, relaxed and entertaining sentences but full of meaning and religious advice, Muslim kiai are easily accepted by the public. For this reason, this Islamic boarding school, which was only established in 2019, currently has more than seven hundred students and more than a thousand congregants attending the recitations which are regularly conducted by the kiai every week.

Priyo Dari Molyo — 2024-01-31

Empirically, the study aims to describe and analyze the acceleration of stunting reduction in rural Kota Batu based on a gender mainstreaming perspective (PUG). In figures for 2022, Kota Batu is one of six cities in Indonesia with the highest stunting prevalence of 25.2%. The role of the government in terms of regulations, academics in formulating conceptuality and theory, and the citizen in implementation are elements of active participation in the fight against stunting. In cases of stunting, PUG positions women and men to the same degree. Data is collected through in-depth interviews with families with purposive stunting children, FGDs with stunting management convergence stakeholders, observation, and documentation. The first finding shows that stunting occurs in upper-middle-class families. Second, the lack of involvement of men (fathers) in all stages of activities accelerates the reduction of stunting. Third, a strong patriarchal culture in society and the family causes the domestic role of men in the family to be shallow. Fourth, the dominant cause of stunting is gender inequality, including inappropriate parenting styles, lack of nutritional intake for pregnant women and children, and lack of nutrition knowledge in Kota Batu rural communities.

The data from the research results were analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results of the study show that the opportunity to conduct counselinextension digitally in Mataram City is very open because all extension workers have and are able to access the internet well. All extension workers are already aware of the cyber extension organized by BPSDM, they also know that agricultural information and innovations are available and accessible on the internet. Extension workers feel that extension materials on cyber extension and the internet are generally good and can be useful for farmers. The challenge is that extension workers do not dare to deliver extension materials accessed from the internet to farmers before they are adapted to local conditions. On the other hand, extension workers do not have funds to adapt new innovations that are learned digitally, so counseling on new innovations to farmers is not carried out.
