The Delegitimization of Indonesian Football Achievements: A Critical Discourse Analysis Using Teun A. van Dijk’s Model of the “Fixed Champion” Narrative Surrounding Persib Bandung

Elvina Sarah Nur’Alvia — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 13:23:13 +0700

This research is motivated by the rise of the "fake champion" narrative about Persib Bandung on Instagram, which delegitimizes Indonesian football achievements. This research aims to describe the discourse structure, identify social cognition, and explain the social context behind the emergence of this narrative. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data sources in the form of netizens' comments on Instagram posts about football news. Data were collected through a listening method with the technique of free listening and conversation (SBLC) and note-taking, then analyzed using Teun A. van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis model which includes the dimensions of text structure, social cognition, and social context. The results show that the text structure is dominated by the theme of delegitimizing Persib Bandung's achievements through the alleged intervention of Erick Thohir and the unfairness of the competition system. The superstructure shows two main patterns, namely the mention of Erick Thohir followed by the alleged intervention and protests against the league system that culminate in the delegitimization of the championship. At the micro level, the discourse is constructed through diction with negative connotations, declarative sentences, sarcastic labeling, and rhetorical elements. Social cognition is influenced by perceptions of PSSI's bias, Erick Thohir's past relationship with Persib, and the ideology of fan rivalry. Meanwhile, social context is influenced by inter-supporter rivalry, social media culture, and low trust in the integrity of the competition. This research concludes that the "fixed champion" narrative is a delegitimization practice formed through the interplay of language structure, social cognition, and social context.

Transformation of Social Conflict Between Ethnic Groups

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 13:20:16 +0700

Indonesia is a highly ethnically diverse country and is therefore vulnerable to intergroup social conflicts if diversity is not managed properly. This journal article aims to examine the concept of conflict transformation as a comprehensive approach to addressing interethnic social conflicts through a literature review of conflict theories and cases of ethnic conflict in Indonesia. The method used is a literature review analyzing Johan Galtung’s concepts of structural violence and the ABC triangle, as well as John Paul Lederach’s four dimensions of conflict transformation: personal, relational, structural, and cultural. The analysis draws on case studies of the Sambas–Sampit conflicts between the Dayak and Madurese ethnic groups and the Balinuraga conflict between the Balinese and Lampung ethnic groups. The findings indicate that ethnic conflicts in Indonesia are often triggered by small-scale incidents that escalate due to the accumulation of long-standing structural, economic, cultural, and political factors. Furthermore, responses that focus solely on short-term resolution, such as relocation and security measures, tend to leave underlying tensions unresolved. Conflict transformation that simultaneously addresses all four dimensions, supported by inclusive multi-stakeholder involvement, has proven more effective in fostering sustainable peace than conventional conflict resolution approaches. This article recommends that policies for managing areas prone to ethnic conflict integrate a comprehensive conflict transformation approach rather than focusing exclusively on security aspects

Yusa Virginiawan, Dede Fico — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 13:21:48 +0700

Social assistance programmes (bansos) are government initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of low-income communities. However, the identification of potential beneficiaries often faces challenges, particularly regarding accuracy and targeting, due to a lack of systematic data analysis. Therefore, the use of data mining technology is essential to support more objective and measurable decision-making. This study utilises the K-Means Clustering algorithm to group the population by income level in order to identify patterns among social assistance recipients based on the proximity of their income attribute values. The research data comprised 1,666 entries of social assistance recipients in Malang City, with attributes including name, address and income. The analysis was conducted using the RapidMiner application through data pre-processing stages, including attribute selection and data normalisation using z-transformation to ensure all variables were on a uniform scale. Subsequently, the K-Means algorithm was applied to form three main clusters. The research findings indicate that cluster 0 represents the low-income group, cluster 1 the middle-income group, and cluster 2 the high-income group. These findings demonstrate that the K-Means Clustering algorithm is effective in mapping the economic conditions of the population and supports the distribution of social assistance in a manner that is more targeted and based on structured data analysis. It is hoped that this research will serve as a reference for government agencies in improving the transparency, accuracy and effectiveness of data-driven social assistance distribution policies that are fairer and more sustainable at the national level.

The rapid development of wireless network technology has provided ease in communication and exchange of information quickly and flexibly. However, the characteristics of open transmission media cause wireless networks to have a high level of vulnerability to various security threats, such as eavesdropping and access by unauthorized parties (intruders). The threat has the potential to cause information leakage and reduce data confidentiality during the transmission process. To overcome these problems, a security mechanism is needed that is able to maintain the confidentiality of information when data is transmitted over the network. This study aims to evaluate the application of RSA algorithm as a cryptographic method in improving the security of wireless networks from intruders. The research approach used is an experimental Research method by building a wireless network environment, implementing the RSA algorithm in the process of encryption and decryption of data, then perform a simulation attack to assess the level of system security. The tests were carried out in two conditions, before and after the implementation of the RSA algorithm, so that the effectiveness of the applied methods can be objectively compared. The evaluation was conducted by taking into account several indicators, including data confidentiality, data integrity, the ability of the system to prevent unauthorized access, and the effect of the application of the RSA algorithm on network performance. The results are expected to show that the use of RSA algorithm is able to increase the level of wireless network security through the process of data transformation from plaintext to ciphertext. Thus, the data successfully obtained by unauthorized parties cannot be understood without the corresponding private key. Based on these results, the RSA algorithm can be used as an alternative solution to strengthen data protection on wireless networks against the threat of eavesdropping and unauthorized access.

Hesen Saputra, Jusuf Wahyudi, Ricky Zulfiandry — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:14:58 +0700

In schools, high-achieving students are typically selected based solely on their final grades, and this is also the case at SMAN 11 in Bengkulu City. The selection of high-achieving students at SMAN 11 in Bengkulu City is based solely on report card grades and the top three students in the 11th grade for the 2025–2026 academic year. This selection process leaves ample room for error because it relies solely on a single aspect—final grades—while students’ conduct and achievements outside of school are not considered as additional criteria for determining which students are deemed high-achieving and eligible for scholarships. This means there is a high likelihood that the selected high-achieving students do not meet the desired standards, resulting in the school failing to identify the best candidates. The purpose of this study is to provide an alternative method for schools to identify high-achieving students so that the selection is not based solely on academic grades and to prevent fraud in the selection process. The method used in this study is the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The results of this study indicate that the SAW method can produce the best results based on the predetermined criteria and weights, with a maximum score of 0.8775.

Prendi Permana, RG Guntur Alam, Dedy Abdullah, Gunawan Gunawan — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 22:13:34 +0700

Waste management is one of the issues that requires attention as community activities and the volume of waste generated continue to increase. Waste management that is still carried out manually can cause delays in identifying the condition of the trash bin, waste accumulation, and decreased environmental cleanliness. Therefore, a system is needed to assist in monitoring and managing trash bins automatically. This study aims to design and develop a Smart Trash Bin with a capacity indicator based on Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor that can detect objects and provide an automatic response. The research method consists of identification, literature review, analysis, and design stages. The system is designed using Arduino Uno as the microcontroller, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to detect objects and measure the height of waste, a servo motor to operate the trash bin lid, and a DFPlayer Mini with a speaker as a voice notification medium. The system operates when the ultrasonic sensor detects an object within a certain distance. The data obtained from the sensor are then processed by the Arduino Uno to control the servo motor, allowing the trash bin lid to open automatically. When the object is no longer detected, the lid closes again, and the system provides a voice notification through the DFPlayer Mini and speaker. The results of the study show that a Smart Trash Bin prototype based on Arduino Uno and an ultrasonic sensor has been successfully designed to open and close the trash bin automatically and provide a voice response. The designed system can help reduce direct contact between users and the trash bin, facilitate the waste disposal process, and support monitoring of the trash bin condition. Therefore, the Smart Trash Bin design is expected to improve the effectiveness of waste management and support the creation of a cleaner, healthier, and more organized environment.

Putri Sari, Yasma Yasma, Wahyu Utama, Supriatin Supriatin, Ovisen Imresah — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:29:18 +0700

Preoperative anxiety in children is a highly prevalent psychological condition encountered in perioperative nursing practice, with reported prevalence rates ranging from 60 to 90 percent among pediatric surgical patients. This condition not only produces short-term psychological distress but also contributes to increased anesthetic requirements, impaired postoperative recovery, and prolonged hospitalization. This study aimed to identify, analyze, and synthesize nursing interventions proven effective in reducing preoperative anxiety among pediatric patients based on current scientific literature. A library research method was employed using a thematic analysis approach applied to ten peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2026, retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and Portal Garuda databases. Findings revealed that non-pharmacological interventions including distraction techniques, music therapy, hand massage, guided imagery, family-centered education, therapeutic play, and parental presence during anesthesia induction significantly reduced preoperative anxiety levels in children. Distraction techniques demonstrated effectiveness comparable to or superior over pharmacological premedication such as midazolam. Nurses were identified as the primary professionals administering these interventions, holding a strategic role in perioperative anxiety management. This review concludes that the systematic integration of evidence-based nursing interventions into perioperative care standards for pediatric patients is a crucial step toward improving the quality and safety of pediatric surgical services.

The Use of Modern Dressing Foam to Accelerate the Epithelialization Process in Patients with Diabetic Ulcers and Impaired Skin Integrity

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:29:45 +0700

Diabetic ulcers are chronic complications of diabetes mellitus that commonly cause impaired skin integrity, prolonged wound healing, and increased risk of infection and amputation when not managed properly. Wound healing in patients with diabetes is often delayed due to hyperglycemia, neuropathy, peripheral vascular disorders, repeated pressure on the feet, and inadequate wound care. One wound care approach that is widely used today is modern foam dressing based on the principle of moist wound healing. This dressing helps maintain wound moisture, absorb excess exudate, reduce the risk of maceration, protect the wound bed from mechanical trauma, and support epithelialization. This study aimed to describe the application of modern foam dressing in accelerating the epithelialization process in patients with diabetic ulcers. A descriptive case study design was used involving one patient with diabetic ulcer at Alfacare Center Clinic, Bengkulu City. Nursing care was carried out through assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Wound development was assessed using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BJWAT). The results showed wound improvement after three wound care sessions using modern foam dressing. The BJWAT score decreased from 32 to 26, epithelialization increased from less than 25% to 50-75%, exudate decreased, and granulation tissue improved. These findings indicate that modern foam dressing can be an effective dressing alternative to support epithelialization and accelerate wound healing in patients with diabetic ulcers.

The growth of social media has sparked a surge in personal branding among content creators, particularly in showcasing their lifestyles, achievements, and self-image in the digital space. This study aims to analyze how content creators in Palangka Raya build their personal brands through social media and to examine netizens’ perspectives on this phenomenon. This study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis, based on observations of Instagram and TikTok content from several local content creators. The analysis draws on Guy Debord’s theory of the society of the spectacle. The results indicate that personal branding is achieved through visual symbols such as lifestyle, daily activities, accomplishments, and social achievements that are consistently displayed on social media. This phenomenon has sparked various reactions from netizens. Some netizens view personal branding as a form of creativity, motivation, and a strategy for building one’s reputation. However, others argue that this practice tends to lead to a culture of “flexing” and excessive image-building, which can trigger envy and social comparison. Thus, personal branding on social media is not only a means to build a digital identity but also shapes a new social reality influenced by visual presentation and public recognition

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:34:12 +0700

Emesis gravidarum refers to early pregnancy symptoms of nausea accompanied by vomiting. These symptoms typically appear six weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period and last for approximately ten weeks, though in some cases, they may persist into the second and third trimesters. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can lead to a depletion of bodily electrolytes, resulting in hemoconcentration that slows blood circulation; it also causes reduced appetite affecting fetal growth and development as well as nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, weakness, and weight loss. To prevent progression to hyperemesis, therapeutic interventions are needed to alleviate emesis gravidarum in pregnant women. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of administering ginger decoction and lemon aromatherapy in reducing emesis gravidarum at the Sobang Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in 2025. A qualitative method using a case study approach was employed. The study involved pregnant women in their first trimester experiencing emesis gravidarum. The sample consisted of 10 individuals: five received an intervention of warm ginger drinks, and five received lemon aromatherapy. The study was conducted at the Sobang Community Health Center in August 2025. Univariate analysis was used to describe the midwifery care provided and to assess the effectiveness of the warm ginger drink and lemon aromatherapy interventions in reducing emesis gravidarum. Observations indicated that lemon aromatherapy oil was more effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. It is recommended that pregnant women in their first trimester experiencing nausea and vomiting adopt interventions such as warm ginger drinks or lemon aromatherapy to alleviate these symptoms.

Cesarean section (CS) is one of the procedures used to address complications during childbirth, the incidence of which continues to rise both globally and nationally. According to 2021 WHO data, cesarean deliveries account for approximately 21% of all births worldwide, while in Indonesia the cesarean rate stands at around 17% and remains linked to the high Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR), which in 2022 was recorded at 183 per 100,000 live births. Pain is the primary issue experienced by patients following a cesarean section due to the incision in the abdominal wall, and if not properly managed, it can hinder mobilization, early initiation of breastfeeding, and patient recovery. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on reducing postoperative pain following cesarean section at Harapan dan Doa Hospital in Bengkulu City in 2025. The research method used was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pre-post test design. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling, with a sample size of 21 patients who had undergone cesarean section. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the deep breathing relaxation technique intervention. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods, including the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that before receiving the deep breathing relaxation technique, the majority of respondents—19 respondents (90.5%)—experienced severe pain. After the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced a reduction in pain to the moderate category (15 respondents, 71.4%) and the mild category (5 respondents, 23.8%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that the deep breathing relaxation technique had a significant effect on reducing postoperative pain following cesarean section, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The researchers recommend that healthcare workers—particularly nurses and midwives at Harapan dan Doa Hospital in Bengkulu City—implement deep breathing relaxation techniques as a nonpharmacological intervention in nursing care to help reduce pain and improve patient comfort following a cesarean section..

The Influence of Traditional Batak Leadership on Today's HKBP Church Leadership

Esra Ferdinan Gultom, Riris Johanna Siagian — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:14:42 +0700

This article aims to examine the influence of traditional Batak Toba leadership on the leadership of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) Church and its relevance in addressing the contemporary challenges of church leadership. Leadership within Batak Toba society is understood not merely as a structural function but also as a cultural value rooted in the Dalihan Na Tolu system and the concept of sahala as the source of authority, legitimacy, and the moral responsibility of a leader. Other cultural values, such as hasangapon, hamoraon, and hagabeon, also shape a leadership character oriented toward honor, prosperity, and the sustainability of the community. Throughout its historical development, HKBP adopted an ecclesiastical leadership system introduced by the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft (RMG) missionaries while simultaneously undergoing a process of contextualization with Batak culture, resulting in a leadership model that integrates both theological and cultural dimensions. On the one hand, traditional leadership values strengthen authority, solidarity, and participation within the life of the church. On the other hand, they also present challenges, including tendencies toward authoritarianism, the influence of kinship networks, internal church politics, and increasing demands for transparency and accountability in the modern era. Therefore, the concept of sahala needs to be reinterpreted as a gift from God manifested through integrity, spirituality, humility, and servant leadership. Consequently, HKBP leadership is expected to embody a contextual and transformative model of leadership that is rooted in Batak culture, grounded in the Gospel, and responsive to contemporary social changes and the needs of the church. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method through literature review, interviews, observations, and interpretative analysis to explore the dynamics of integrating traditional Batak leadership with ecclesiastical leadership within HKBP.

Shallots (A. ascalonicum) are a horticultural commodity that has high economic value in Indonesia and is widely used, both as a cooking spice and traditional medicine. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of banana peel POC and rice husk charcoal growing media on the growth of shallots and to assess whether there is an interaction between the two factors. The research activities were carried out in the experimental field of Panca Budi Development University located in Sampe Cita Village, Kutalimbaru District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province at an altitude of 149 meters above sea level. The research implementation period was from November 2025 to January 2026. The method used was a 4x4 Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two factors resulting in 16 treatment combinations repeated in 3 blocks for a total of 48 plots. The first factor was Banana Peel POC with 4 levels, namely: F0 = Without POC, F1 = 100 ml/plot, F2 = 200 ml/plot, F3 = 300 ml/plot. The second factor of 4 Level Rice Husk Charcoal Planting Media is: H0 = Top Soil, H1 = Top Soil: Rice Husk Charcoal (3:1), H2 = Top Soil: Rice Husk Charcoal (1:1), H3 = Top Soil: Rice Husk Charcoal (1:3). The results of the study showed that the treatment of banana peel POC significantly affected the growth of shallot plants in plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers/sample, wet weight/sample, dry weight/sample and dry weight/plot, the best results in treatment F1 = 100 ml/plot. The treatment of rice husk charcoal planting media also significantly affected the growth of shallot plants in plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers/sample, wet weight/sample, dry weight/sample, but did not significantly affect the dry weight parameter/plot, the best results in treatment H1 = top soil: rice husk charcoal (1:3). There was no interaction between banana peel POC and rice husk charcoal planting media on the growth of shallots (A. ascanolicum).

Air quality is an important factor affecting human health and comfort. Indoor air pollution can originate from various sources, such as cooking activities, smoke, and hazardous gases that cannot be directly detected by human senses. These conditions may have negative impacts on health if they are not monitored regularly. Therefore, a system capable of monitoring air quality quickly, easily, and in real time is required. This study aims to design and develop an air quality detection system using the MQ-135 sensor based on the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling air quality conditions to be monitored remotely through the internet. The research employed a quantitative method with an experimental approach, while the system was developed using the prototype method. The research stages included literature review, system design, hardware and software development, system testing, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion drawing. The developed system utilizes the MQ-135 sensor as a gas detector and the NodeMCU ESP8266 as the microcontroller, which is connected to the ThingSpeak platform to transmit, store, and display measurement data in real time. Testing was conducted in two indoor environments, namely a bedroom without air conditioning (AC) and a kitchen immediately after cooking activities. The test results showed that all system components functioned properly, the sensor was able to detect changes in air quality, and the measured data were successfully transmitted and visualized on the ThingSpeak platform via the internet. Based on the measurement results, the air quality in the kitchen after cooking showed higher sensor readings than that in the bedroom without air conditioning (AC), indicating poorer air quality. Therefore, the developed system is capable of monitoring indoor air quality in real time, providing information on air quality conditions, and serving as an Internet of Things (IoT)-based air quality monitoring system.
