Managing and responding to the crisis of sexual harassment at the University of Argopuro
Authors: Wulandari Maulina Pia , Layna Nadia Luitsa
Published: February 2025

Background: Sexual harassment incidents at higher education institutions can trigger crises that have a detrimental impact on public trust and institutional reputation. Purpose: This study analyzes the crisis management and reaction approach employed by the University of Argopuro in the aftermath of a sexual harassment event involving its Rector. Methods: The study employed a qualitative case study approach and collected data through in-depth interviews with senior administrators and document analysis. Results: The findings reveal that the university implemented a five-step crisis management model, integrating adaptive strategies with Image Restoration Theory (IRT) and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). These strategies focused on transparency, accountability, and victim protection. The study highlights those key methods, including appointing a spokesperson, issuing press releases, forming a crisis management team, and establishing a Gender Studies Centre to foster systemic reform and prevention. The study offers four novel crisis response strategies: attitude statements for transparency, victim protection plans, organizational accountability mechanisms, and follow-up initiatives to sustain cultural transformation. While SCCT and IRT provided a foundational framework, this study highlights the limitations of the frameworks in addressing the deeper systemic issues surrounding sexual harassment, emphasizing the need for long-term cultural change. Moreover, the results highlight the need to integrate crisis communication theories with adaptive, victim-centered approaches to address preventable crises effectively. Conclusions: The study concludes that a comprehensive and transparent crisis management process can mitigate reputational damage, restore stakeholder trust, and promote systemic reforms.  Implications: The study contributes to public relations literature by establishing the applicability of combined theoretical and adaptive strategies in complex academic crises, recommending practical insights for public relations practitioners in higher education institutions worldwide. Future research should expand the application of these strategies across diverse cultural and organizational contexts to validate their effectiveness.

Published: February 2025

Background: Streets in Bandung are predominantly named after heroes and military figures, and none of them are named after artists despite Bandung’s branding as a Creative City. Purpose: This study aimed to map community readiness in Bandung, through the representation of the pentahelix stakeholders, to assess the feasibility of using artists’ names for street names. This community readiness was then analyzed in correlation to the city branding indicator, the City Branding Hexagon by Anholt (2007). Methods: The study used a descriptive qualitative method with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for the primary data collection and a literature study for the secondary data. FGDs were conducted with ten participants from Pentahelix stakeholders (academics, government, business entities and/or actors, society or community, and mass media) who represented the people of Bandung City. Data validity checking was conducted through in-depth interviews with socio-economic experts. Results: The idea of naming artists as street names was welcomed by the majority of the Pentahelix elements who became informants in this study. The three artists who received support to be named as street names were Udjo Ngalagena, Harry Roesli, and Barli Sasmitawinata. The idea of naming artists as street names can strengthen the city branding of Bandung as a Creative City, which potentially improves the city’s economy, especially from the tourism aspect. Conclusion: Naming streets after artists in Bandung City could arouse the local artistic and cultural scene, which can be exploited to generate a creative platform to enhance the city’s artistic treasures and fortify Bandung City’s reputation as a creative hub. Implications: The implications of naming Harry Roesli as a street name arise. The location of Harry Roesli Music House is on a street that is the name of a national hero. For this reason, embedding Harry Roesli’s name needs to go through a special approach or determine a new location outside of his artistic site.
Relics of Ancient Sun Cult in Folklore and Ritual Traditions of Kalmyks
Authors: Chalbanova K. V. , Bicheev B. A.
Published: February 2025

This article explores the remnants of the ancient sun worship cult that have persisted within the myths, fairy tales, and ritual practices of the Kalmyk people. The aim of the study is to identify traces of this ancient cult in folklore and ritual traditions, and to determine their symbolic significance in fairy tale narratives and ceremonial actions. The research material includes samples of myths, magical and heroic tales, as well as life-cycle rituals. It is demonstrated that the concept of solar divinity and its influence on earthly existence has formed the foundation for numerous religious and mythological beliefs, traces of which can be found in various aspects of the spiritual and religious life of the Kalmyk people. The article notes that the ancient pre-Buddhist calendar festival of Zul is celebrated during the winter solstice. An analysis of myths, magical tales, and heroic epics reveals significant motifs: (1) with the rising sun, the hero acquires magical objects, wishes are fulfilled, and traces of malevolent forces are revealed; (2) when embarking on a journey, fairy tale characters invariably begin their movement “following the sun,” that is, in the direction of the sun’s path, which is associated with a steadfast belief in the successful completion of their endeavors. It is shown that the ancient concept of celestial divinity manifests in endowing the fairy tale hero with solar attributes.
Linguocultural Variability of Medical Discharge Genre
Authors: Zhura V. V. , Markovina I. Yu.
Published: February 2025

This study presents a comparative analysis of the genre characteristics of medical discharge documents within Russian and British linguistic culture. The relevance of this research stems from the insufficient exploration of written medical discourse genres, as well as the lack of data regarding variations in the representation of documented templates for outpatient and inpatient medical discharge records and their sociocultural specifics. The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of medical discharge documents produced in Russian and British linguistic cultures to identify their distinctive features, intragenre variations within a single linguistic culture, and intercultural similarities and differences. Methodological approaches employed include document analysis combined with comparative, stylistic, and interpretative analysis procedures. The study establishes the implications of the key genre-forming parameters for the examined type of documents. The analysis reveals that, within the domestic linguistic culture, intragenre variability is associated with modifications to such parameters as chronotope, producent-recipient orientation, compositional-structural characteristics, and linguistic features. Inter-cultural variability manifests itself in compositional-structural and formal-content-related differences, objective modality, and the intended audience of documents across the compared linguistic cultures. The findings contribute to the theory of intercultural professional communication and the practice of specialized translation.

Authors: Dudayti A. K.
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes the transformations in Russian-Georgian relations following the Rose Revolution. The study aims to evaluate the key phases and significant aspects of the bilateral relationship that have notably influenced regional political dynamics. Utilizing a comprehensive approach, the research draws on official documents, media publications, and analytical reports. It employs methods of political analysis, historical review, and comparative analysis, facilitating a thorough understanding of the issues at hand. The findings demonstrate that the revolution resulted in a deterioration of relations, particularly following the imposition of visa and trade restrictions. In subsequent years, the relationship exhibited fluctuations with periods of escalation. Notably, recent years have seen a reduction in tensions and a resumption of dialogue. The study identifies critical factors affecting the dynamics of relations, including Georgia's foreign policy orientations and regional conflicts. It emphasizes that political will and international mediation play a crucial role in the process of rebuilding trust between the two nations, presenting new challenges and opportunities for resolving their differences.
Constructing Identity of Tyumen Cossack Union in 1990s-2000s: Evidence from State Archive of Tyumen Region
Authors: Idiatullov A. K.
Published: February 2025

This article aims to analyze the key directions in the construction of identity for the Tyumen Cossack Union. The research is grounded in materials sourced from the collections of the State Archive of Tyumen Region. The author asserts that from its inception, the Tyumen Cossack Union has emphasized not only its Cossack identity but also its Orthodox and Russian affiliations. The study demonstrates that it was crucial for the organization to assert its claims to the authenticity of Cossack heritage in the Tyumen region. The documents intentionally highlight historical continuity with Cossack formations from Tsarist and Imperial Russia. Furthermore, it is reported that in pursuit of these objectives, particular attention is given to the over four-hundred-year history of the Siberian Cossack Host, the role of Cossacks in the founding of Siberian cities (including Tyumen), and the historical significance of Yermak’s conquests in Siberia. The documents also reveal instances of collaboration between the Cossacks and a center for Eastern martial arts, underscoring the complexities involved in constructing the identity of any society.
Local Air Defense in Rostov Region (1941–1943): Formation Specifics and Operational Challenges
Authors: Medvedev M. V.
Published: February 2025

This article examines the formation and functioning of local air defense (LAD) in the Rostov region during the years 1941 to 1943. The research draws on both published and unpublished archival documents, as well as materials from periodicals. It highlights the pivotal role played by Soviet and party authorities in the establishment of local air defense structures at the regional level. The findings demonstrate that efforts aimed at enhancing the readiness and effectiveness of LAD in the region did not always yield the anticipated outcomes. The article reveals that the formation of local air defense in the Rostov region was fraught with difficulties stemming from military operations and partial occupation of the territory. Additionally, it was established that in the first half of 1943, further complications arose due to shortcomings of Soviet and party organizations in the cities and districts of the Rostov region, which failed to timely oversee the preparation of the entire LAD system. The conclusion is drawn that full restoration of local air defense functionality was not achieved until the complete liberation of the Rostov region, as pressing issues within the LAD system were deprioritized amidst ongoing military engagements.

Published: February 2025

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the phenolic constituents and antioxidant properties of C. comosum, complemented by an evaluation of its acute toxicity in vivo. Employing spectrophotometric techniques, we quantified the total polyphenol content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) using gallic acid and quercetin standards, respectively. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to identify and quantify individual phenolic compounds. Antioxidant efficacy was measured through assays assessing total antioxidant capacity, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, and reducing power (RP). The analysis revealed a substantial polyphenol content of 185.073 mg GAE/g DW and a flavonoid content of 21.75 mg QE/g DW. HPLC detected eight distinct phenolic compounds, with quercetin and rutin emerging as the most predominant. The aqueous extract of C. comosum exhibited pronounced antioxidant activity, with significant inhibition across the tested assays. Acute toxicity studies on Wistar rats indicated a favorable safety profile, showing no mortality or significant behavioral changes at doses up to 2000 mg/kg. In conclusion, C. comosum demonstrates a rich reservoir of secondary metabolites with substantial antioxidant potential, affirming its potential as a candidate for therapeutic applications. However, additional in vivo studies are essential to fully elucidate its therapeutic efficacy and safety profile.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the research was to verify the theory of the free radical interaction of manganese compounds by assessing the activity of the enzymes: catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) in an experimental rat model of exposure to Mn. Forty five male Buffalo rats were divided into: control, group I (MnCl2; 5 mg/kg b.w.) and groUp II (MnCl2; 7.5 mg/kg b.w.). The activity of the enzymes: CAT, GPx, GR and GST activity were determined in the supernatants of the kidneys and liver. The histopathological alterations were evaluated in tissue sections. In rats intoxicated with Mn (group I and II) the decreased CAT and GR activities was observed in the liver, with a significantly lower the all enzymes activities measured in the kidneys. The the lowest CAT, GPx, GR and GST activity were observed in the kidneys of group II rat. An examination of hepatic tissues revealed moderate (group I) and severe (group II) histopathological lesions, with a insignificant lesions oserved in the renal tissues. It has been shown that manganese intoxication has cytotoxic activity in the kidneys and liver, causing an decrease in antioxidant enzymes activity. The observed histopathological changes in the liver tissue suggest sensitivity to oxidative stress in this organ. In the kidneys, despite a significant weakening of the antioxidant defense, insignificant histopathological lesions were found, which suggests a different defense mechanism independent of the antioxidant enzymatic defense.
Exploring ‘English’ in an EMI nursing program: Native English varieties, ELF, and translingual practices
Authors: Situmorang Komilie , Pramusita Santa Maya
Published: February 2025

English Medium Instruction (EMI) has been implemented globally as a strategy for the internationalization of Higher Education Institutions to promote global competence and mobility. However, the concept of ‘English’ within the EMI context has been scrutinized, as studies reveal that the definition of ‘English’ in EMI is often contextual. This shift has brought English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) into focus. Given the limited research in Indonesia exploring EMI through the perspectives of ELF and translingual practices, this study examines these concepts within the context of the nursing EMI program. The study draws on a rich dataset, using in-depth interviews with international nursing students to analyze the conceptualization of English, ELF, and translingual practices. Findings reveal a disparity between students’ preconceived notions and actual practices. Students commonly perceive ‘English’ in EMI as a native variety shaped by exposure to popular culture such as movies, songs, and social media. However, ELF practices emerge as essential strategies for achieving effective communication, emphasizing adaptability and mutual understanding. Translingual practices manifest in the form of ‘gado-gado’ English—a blend of languages—which is seen as a creative and dynamic linguistic choice but also criticized as being less proficient or standardized. This study highlights the complexities of EMI implementation and advocates for a dynamic and flexible approach to navigating multilingual classroom contexts.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates how stakeholders perceived the inclusion of English subjects as part of local content in primary schools. A qualitative method employing a descriptive approach was used to conduct the research. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. Participants involved in this study included primary school teachers, a vice principal for curriculum affairs, English teachers, and primary school students. The research focused on three primary schools—located in Depok, Bogor, and Sukabumi—to explore stakeholders’ perspectives. The results reveal a positive consensus among stakeholders regarding the significance of English education in primary schools for enhancing students’ foundational vocabulary. Nevertheless, stakeholders expressed concerns about the designation of English as a local content subject in these schools. The study highlights the vital roles each stakeholder plays in improving the quality of English teaching and students’ language skills. Despite challenges in teaching and learning English, educators and students have implemented strategies for improvement, including participation in teacher associations, engaging in English tutoring, watching English media, and listening to English songs. Based on these findings, the study emphasizes the urgency of integrating English subjects into the school curriculum to support students’ skills. This study, which focuses on private primary schools, calls for future investigations into the implementation of English subjects in public primary schools.
How do senior English teachers experience Global Englishes in language teaching? Narratives from within
Authors: Rifiyani Andri Jamaul , Namaziandost Ehsan , Ubaidillah M. Faruq , Langgeng Budianto
Published: February 2025

Extensive research on Global Englishes (GE) experiences has been investigated in response to the calls for using English as a global language and multicultural communication tool. However, previous studies were entirely concerned with higher education and language course teachers. Thus, to fill this lacuna, this current research dispensed the experiences of five senior English teachers dealing with GE in Islamic boarding school settings in Indonesia using a narrative inquiry. The five participants in this study were selected purposefully based on their teaching experience of more than 20 years. The data were gathered using individual in-depth interviews and analysed following Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis procedure. Results revealed that most participating teachers were unaware of the GE variations. Their inadequate knowledge of GE was seen in how they perceived issues of native-speaker ideology, the use of L1, the inclusion of Western culture, and the use of English textbooks in their classes. The study’s findings suggest that raising GE awareness of English teachers is essential since the paradigm shift of English as a global language has received considerable and critical attention in academia. In addition, the findings demand GE awareness to be included in the secondary school English curriculum. Finally, the use of narrative inquiry in this study is also promising in revealing teachers’ lived experiences personally and professionally.

Published: February 2025

Despite the growing research demonstrating the changing role of English as a lingua franca (ELF) in today’s globalized world, few studies in Indonesia have examined how learners perceive English language teaching (ELT) materials in relation to ELF. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, this study investigates learners’ attitudes toward the current ELT business materials in light of ELF at a private university in Jakarta. A total of 382 respondents filled out online questionnaires, and 10 of them participated in semi-structured group interviews. The descriptive statistics analysis of the quantitative data demonstrated that the participants perceived that the materials incorporated Indonesian English and other non-native varieties of English, 88.4% and 55.2%, respectively. Regarding cultural representations, over 90% of the participants believed that the learning materials raised their awareness of cultural differences between native and non-native English speakers. Additionally, over 70% of the participants believed that the business scenarios in the materials included diverse linguacultural groups. Nevertheless, the thematic analysis of the qualitative results showed learners’ negative attitudes toward such materials due to their favoritism toward standard English norms and their regard for these as authentic instances of English in business contexts. Despite the limited scope of this study, the findings indicate that the exposure to ELF-informed materials needs to be accompanied by the provision of awareness-raising tasks which utilize the noticing strategy to allow learners to pay attention to different language functions, features, and varieties in authentic spoken and written texts produced within ELF business settings.

Authors: Simbolon Nurmala Elmin , Sadiq Nizamuddin , Curle Samantha
Published: February 2025

This study examines the language-related challenges faced by Indonesian students enrolled in short-term English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses abroad, facilitated by the Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA). Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed survey responses from fifty-four students and conducted three focus group interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of their experiences. The research instrument, based on Evans and Morrison (2011) and modified by Kamasak et al. (2021), was employed to quantify these challenges. Our analysis revealed significant challenges in writing and speaking. These difficulties were prevalent regardless of the students’ backgrounds, suggesting that current preparatory measures may be insufficient. Specifically, writing emerged as the most formidable challenge, with many students struggling to express their ideas clearly and coherently in English. These findings underscore the critical need for comprehensive preparatory frameworks that go beyond basic linguistic competence. We advocate for the integration of robust academic preparation programs within mobility initiatives to better equip students for the linguistic demands of EMI courses. Such enhancements are essential for improving the overall academic experience and success of students in international educational contexts. The implications of this study extend to policymakers and educators involved in designing and implementing EMI programs, emphasizing the importance of targeted support to address language-related challenges.

Published: February 2025

The current study aims to assess 150 Thai English as a Foreign Language (EFL) first-year university students’ perspectives on the efficacies of Duolingo, a popular mobile language application in improving English listening and speaking skills. Given the growing importance of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in enhancing language proficiency, this study investigates Duolingo’s potential to address the common challenges faced by EFL learners in developing these essential skills. The data were collected using a quantitative method, namely a structured questionnaire, to record participants’ attitudes towards Duolingo and corresponding experiences. Simultaneously, Gibson and Brown’s (2009) thematic technique was employed to analyse the open-ended responses. The results show that a high Duolingo usage level was discovered at 32.0% daily usage and 42.0% several times weekly, which underscored Duolingo integration into linguistic learning journeys. The participants also pinpointed crucial benefits, such as affordability, structured learning, convenience, diverse content, interactivity, audio exercises, and adaptive technologies. Nevertheless, 26.0% of the students described several limitations, including audio quality discrepancies, insufficient real-life conversational practices, and limited topic coverage. Furthermore, a significant gender distribution was demonstrated, with 70.7% females and 29.3% males. The findings posit that female students tended to or possessed higher accessibility to language learning technologies, including Duolingo. The findings reflect broader societal factors impacting educational preferences and opportunities. The study outcomes also contributed to educators and developers to improve digital tools for diverse language learning requirements.

Published: February 2025

Although there is a plethora of literature studies on self-regulation, self-efficacy, and academic writing, the detailed investigation of these three aspects in EFL doctoral students is scant. This study examined doctoral students’ self-regulation and self-efficacy in academic writing as potentially profound outcomes of their sojourning. Data were collected from narrative frames, narrative interviews, and Focus Group Discussions to explain all related dimensions of the successive EFL academic writings of eight doctoral students studying abroad. The thematic analysis of the data revealed that the participants gradually developed a perception of self-regulation and self-efficacy in academic writing processes during their sojourning. Five self-regulation writing strategies were identified as contributing to the success of advanced academic writing: cognitive, metacognitive, social-behavioral, motivational regulation, and socio-cognitive strategies. These strategies were essential for doctoral students’ preparation programs to maximize writing productivity. The students’ academic writing self-efficacy developed through writing strategies, peer interactions, academic atmosphere, academic English exposure, research skills, study engagement, and social life as doctoral students. The contributing factors influencing the students’ writing achievement included their writing behaviors, writing efficacy, academic writing use, and sojourning experiences. These experiences covered writing traditions in the scholarly community, graduate school programs, the English-speaking context, discourse, the supervisor–doctoral student relationship, international academic communication, and other writing accomplishments. The findings imply a reciprocal relationship between their perceived writing self-efficacy and their progressive self-regulation in writing.

Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Korzova E.
Published: February 2025

The article considers the pragmatic aspect of functioning of utterances-appeals in the structure of the texts of political discourse. The topicality is determined by the fact that in po­litical texts often used are open and hidden appeals, at the perception of which it is necessary to reveal the author’s pragmat­ic intention. The subject of the research is linguistic means of expression of appeals in political discourse. In the work in details described are the lexico-grammatical means corresponded to direct, indirect, hidden appeals appeals on the basis of the methods of structural, communicative and pragmatic analysis. As a result of the research conducted the following conclusions are made: 1) appeal is an imperative speech act including the subject of inducement, potential action, performer of the potential action and act of inducement; 2) in correspondence with the type of a speech act and a language means appeals are sub­divided into direct, indirect, hidden; 3) direct appeals render inducement with the help of an explicit imperative; 4) indirect appeals — with the help of implicit means of different semantics; 5) the feature of modern English political discourse is the use of indirect and hidden appeals. The results of the analysis can be employed at preparing political addresses, as well as lessons of political linguistics and linguoexpertology for the benefit of academic process excellence.
Specifics of perceiving Pragmatics and Semantics of the Political Media Text by the Authors of Internet Comments
Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Saveleva I.
Published: February 2025

The article addresses the problem of perception of political media text by an addressee. Typology of the addressee’s reactions to the political media text is carried out as a case study of Internet comments. The types of addressable relations are established through the method of linguopragmatic analysis of commentar­ies. In accordance with the readers’ reactions to “given” and “new”, represented in the Internet comments, the types of texts are distinguished, in which the reaction to thematic component and rhematic components of the semantic structure of the text is presented. The authors of the comments give feedback to the central topic of the source text, as well as to its peripheral thematic component. Much less often there is a verbalization of the reaction to rhematic component of the news. In Internet comments, the “new” information from the media text is re­placed with facts and assessments from the of the addressee’s information sphere. We also propose to highlight those Internet responses in which the users verbalize reflection on the macro topic of political media discourse. The results of the study can be used to model responsive discourses.

Studi ini mengkaji bagaimana pengungkapan risiko mendukung peran utang dalam pengaruh peluang pertumbuhan, profitabilitas, dan aset riil terhadap nilai perusahaan. Peran pengungkapan risiko yang terbatas dalam studi sebelumnya dan perubahan minat pelaku pasar terhadap perusahaan berkapitalisasi menengah kecil di BEI melatarbelakangi studi ini. Metode analisis model proses bersyarat menggunakan analisis mediasi moderasi berdasarkan kerangka penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengungkapan utang dan risiko hanya berperan sebagai sinyal dalam peluang pertumbuhan dan efek aset riil, bukan profitabilitas. Sinyal ini menentukan persepsi dan ekspektasi pelaku pasar terhadap perusahaan. Mediasi komplementer dan variabel yang dihilangkan muncul dalam hasil analisis, menunjukkan bahwa variabel lain diduga sebagai variabel perantara selain utang. Pengungkapan risiko sukarela adalah cara yang efektif untuk memastikan persepsi positif dari pelaku pasar. keseimbangan manfaat utang dan risiko bisa menjadi sinyal untuk mengantisipasi risiko yang diharapkan pelaku pasar, dan nilai perusahaan yang diinginkan akan tercapai.

Introduction: Typing activities at work involving repetitive movements with static body posture, if not adequately addressed, can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Data from the National Health Interview Study (NHIS) shows that the incidence rate of CTS in the general population is 2.6 million. Bank employees are one of the professions prone to CTS due to their computer typing activities. This study aims to determine the relationship between the duration of work and body position during typing and the occurrence of CTS among computer users at BNI in Denpasar City.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design and purposive sampling technique for subject recruitment. The total sample size in this study was 86 BNI employees who use computers in Denpasar City. Data collection was conducted through interviews to determine the duration of work and specific examinations such as Phalen’s and Tinel’s tests, and researchers measured the body position of employees during typing using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA).
Results: The chi-square test analysis yielded a p-value of 0.039, indicating a relationship between the duration of work and the occurrence of CTS, and a p-value of 0.002, indicating a relationship between body position during typing and CTS.
Conclusion: The study concludes that there is a relationship between the duration of work and body position during typing and the occurrence of CTS among computer users at BNI in Denpasar City. Providing ergonomic training and education by the institution, managing work time and modifying workstations, followed by light stretching by the subjects, can reduce the risk and severity of CTS occurrences.

This study analyzes the characteristics of Bali cattle breeders, management practices, and the marketing effi- ciency of Bali calves in Nusa Penida, Indonesia. Data from 60 breeders, 10 belantik (cattle traders), and 4 experts revealed a predominantly male-dominated sector with a high reliance on traditional, semi-intensive farming met- hods. Small-scale operations and limited market access, coupled with a long marketing chain involving belantik, significantly constrain profitability. Direct marketing, while less prevalent, demonstrates markedly higher efficien- cy and farmer’s share. The findings highlight the need for interventions to improve market access, enhance farming practices, and strengthen farmer organizations to ensure the long-term sustainability of this important sector.

Television generally requires an antenna to capture. The commonly used is the Yagiantenna. This type of antenna needs to be rotated to adjust the direction of signal reception toimprove image and sound quality. In this design, users simply need to press a button integratedinto two systems: a wireless system for remote control and a push-button system for close-rangecontrol. These systems adjust the antenna's position to the right or left, according to the directionof the desired signal. The push-button system features five push buttons as inputs, which respondto pre-programmed commands, and the wireless system requires pin initialization connected tothe ESP32, which links to the Blynk application and the Internet. Blynk displays the current anglesensor measurements uploaded to the database by the ESP32. Testing of the push-button controlsystem showed a consistent match between the antenna mast's angle rotation on the LCD displayand the physical degree arc, with an average error rate of 0.74%. Testing of the wireless controlsystem using the Blynk application with IoT concepts also demonstrated consistency between thetest results of the wireless control circuit and the antenna mast's angle rotation, with an averageerror rate of 0.73%.
