Belle Baranceanu
Authors: Hernandez Jennifer Peoples
Published: July 2024

In this first biography of artist Belle (Goldschlager) Baranceanu, Jennifer Peoples Hernandez tells the extraordinary story of a woman who rose from humble beginnings to become the most important female muralist in San Diego during the Great Depression and a prominent California Modern artist. Her meteoric rise in the art world began in Chicago in the 1920s, but the onset of the Great Depression nearly ended her career. Drawing from previously unpublished letters and archival records, Hernandez skillfully weaves Baranceanu’s resilient story into the larger history of the Depression and New Deal in Chicago and San Diego and highlights the success of the government’s work relief programs. For Baranceanu and others fortunate enough to work for the New Deal art projects, the Depression turned out to be a golden

age in American art history with a level of government patronage that has been unmatched ever since.
The Experiential Ontology of Hannah Arendt
Authors: Maslin Kimberly
Published: July 2024

In The Experiential Ontology of Hannah Arendt, Kim Maslin examines Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy through a Heideggerian framework. Maslin argues that not only did Arendt grew beyond the role of naïve and beguiled student, but she became one of Heidegger’s most astute critics. Well acquainted with and deeply respectful of his contributions to existential philosophy, Arendt viewed Heidegger’s work as both profoundly insightful and extraordinarily myopic. Not contented to simply offer a critique of her mentor’s work, Arendt engaged in a lifelong struggle to come to terms with the collective implications of fundamental ontology. Maslin argues that Arendt shifted to political philosophy less to escape her own disappointment at Heidegger’s personal betrayal, but rather as an attempt to right the collective flaws of fundamental ontology. Her project offers a politically responsive, hence responsible, modification of Heidegger’s fundamental ontology. She suggests that Heidegger’s allegedly descriptive and non-normative insight into the nature of being is necessarily incomplete, and potentially irresponsible, unless it is undertaken in a manner which is mindful of the collective implications. As such, Maslin shows how Arendt attempts to construct an experiential ontology that transforms Heidegger’s fundamental ontology for use in the public sphere.
The Dark Side of the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Morris Ronald L.
Published: July 2024

The high rates of Black arrests and incarceration from 1960-1990 were a direct result of deliberate government policies and a zealous criminal justice system, under the patriotic umbrella of the War on Crime. This stateside war shared a lot of similarities with the Vietnam war happening simultaneously: racism and extreme cruelty towards those seen as the enemy, deprecation of the others' culture, forceful use of a militarized police with combat experience, repeated failure to observe human rights, and mass incarceration. Unfortunately, this conflict continued long after the Vietnam war ended. Ronald L. Morris reviews those dark times, analyzing their causes, short- and long-term effects, and calls for change.
Engraving School Districts with the Cultural Wealth and Social Justice Advocacy of Latina/o/x School Leaders
Authors: Lowery Kendra , Romero-Johnson Silvia
Published: July 2024

The community cultural wealth that culturally responsive Latina/o/x school leaders bring to their profession has much to offer Latina/o/x students and families in particular, schools and communities generally, aspiring school leaders, and those who prepare them.

Engraving School Districts With the Cultural Wealth and Social Justice Advocacy of Latinx School Leaders examines the lived experiences of eight Latina/o/x school and district leaders, presented as testimonios. The authors explain how community cultural wealth, which is derived from critical race theory, informed professional motivations, leadership experiences, and advocacy actions. Key aspects of Latina/o/x school leadership include how leaders: dismantled deficit-based thinking; maintained high expectations; developed equitable relationships with students and families; acknowledged and valued Latino cultures and identities; and encouraged Spanish language. Connections between the leaders’ actions, culturally responsive leadership, and related concepts are drawn. The enactment of culturally responsive leadership combined with the centering of Latino cultures and language is evidence of Latino Educational Leadership.

The concept of “engraving” is introduced to consider ways in which districts and leader preparation programs can make enduring changes by embedding the culturally responsive practices of Latina/o/x leaders across all current and aspiring leaders. Therefore, the responsibility for creating equitable engagement and achievement for Latina/o/x students and families will not rest solely upon Latina/o/x leaders.
Global Development, Ethics, and Epistemic Injustice
Authors: Malavisi Anna
Published: July 2024

Global Development, Ethics, and Epistemic Injustice: Rethinking Theory and Practice presents a critical analysis of global development from a perspective that is both theoretical and practical, addressing both ethical and epistemic issues. Offering a unique perspective from having worked as a practitioner in global development for several years, then left the practice to ponder the deep ethical issues that shadow global development, Anna Malavisi argues that one of the problems in global development today is the absence of an ethical analysis; ethics in development today is overshadowed by economic and political interests, as well as national self-interest. The book describes how Chagas diseases, as a Neglected Tropical Disease, continues to plague vulnerable populations in poorer countries such as Bolivia due to a very limited way in how it has been conceived, understood, and addressed. Malavisi offers a strong ethical approach, comprising a feminist methodology, a social ethical praxis, political responsibility, epistemic justice, and deep-green theory. A strong ethical approach is necessary to address Chagas Disease as well as other development problems in a more effective way.
Theory of Value Structure
Authors: Rast Erich H.
Published: July 2024

The theory of value structure concerns the meaning of “better than” and “good,” as well as the way in which values serve as a basis for rational decision making. Drawing methodologically from economics and theories of decision making, the aim of serious axiology in metaethics is to do justice to problems that have puzzled philosophers of value for centuries. Can value comparisons be cyclic? Are all values comparable with each other and can decision makers just add up different aspects of an evaluation to determine the best course of action? A Theory of Value Structure: From Values to Decisions starts with a thorough introduction to the modeling of “better than” comparisons from a normative perspective. In the philosophical part of the book, Erich H. Rast argues that aspects of “better than” comparisons can differ qualitatively so much that one aspect may outrank another. Consequently, the classical weighted sum aggregation model fails. Values cannot always be summed up and comparisons may be fundamentally noncompensatory, an indeterminacy that explains problems like the apparent nontransitivity of “better than” and hard cases in decision making. Using a lexicographic method of value comparisons, Rast develops a multidimensional theory of “better than” and shows how and to which extent it can be combined with standard methods of decision making under uncertainty by using rank-dependent utility theory.
Pragmatism, Logic, and Law
Authors: Kellogg Frederic
Published: July 2024

Pragmatism, Logic and Law offers a view of legal pragmatism consistent with pragmatism writ large, tracing it from origins in late 19th century America to the present, covering various issues, legal cases, personalities, and relevant intellectual movements within and outside law. It addresses pragmatism’s relation to legal liberalism, legal positivism, natural law, critical legal studies (CLS), and post-Rorty “neopragmatism.” It views legal pragmatism as an exemplar of pragmatism’s general contribution to logical theory, which bears two connections to the western philosophical tradition: first, it extends Francis Bacon’s empiricism into contemporary aspects of scientific and legal experience, and second, it is an explicitly social reconstruction of logical induction. Both notions were articulated by John Dewey, and both emphasize the social or corporate element of human inquiry. Empiricism is informed by social as well as individual experience (which includes the problems of conflict and consensus). Rather than following the Aristotelian model of induction as immediate inference from particulars to generals, a model that assumes a consensual objective viewpoint, pragmatism explores the actual, and extended, process of corporate inference from particular experience to generalization, in law as in science. This includes the necessary process of resolving disagreement and finding similarity among relevant particulars.
Legal status of artificial intelligence in digital legal relations
Authors: Провалинский Д.И.
Published: July 2024

стремительная цифровизация общественных отношений ставит перед юридической наукой новые задачи, одной из которых является определение правового положения искусственного интеллекта, вступающего во взаимодействие (прямое и опосредованное) с человеком, а также с различными механизмами с установленным соответствующим программным обеспечением. По результатам исследования, в ходе которого были в том числе проанализированы содержание понятия искусственный интеллект, а также правовые позиции, излагаемые в юридической литературе по исследуемому вопросу, автор приходит к следующим выводам. Искусственный интеллект не является «сверхразумом» (как это порой преподносится в околонаучной литературе), это в той или иной степени совершенная компьютерная программа, которая не отвечает признакам автономности, воли, самостоятельности принятия решений и другим, присущим человеку качествам. В настоящее время степень развития общественных отношений с включением в них функционала искусственного интеллекта позволяет сделать вывод о том, что он (искусственный интеллект или правильнее говорить компьютерная программа) пока не достиг того «уровня развития», который позволял бы говорить о нем как о полноправном субъекте или субъекте «с ограниченными правами и обязанностями» правоотношений, как offline, так и online пространства. Наиболее приемлемым является считать его объектом таких правоотношений.

the rapid digitalization of social relations poses new challenges for legal science, one of which is to determine the legal status of artificial intelligence that interacts (directly and indirectly) with a person, as well as with various mechanisms with the appropriate software installed. Based on the results of the study, during which the content of the concept of artificial intelligence was analyzed, as well as the legal positions set forth in the legal literature on the issue under study, the author comes to the following conclusions. Artificial intelligence is not “superintelligence” (as it is sometimes presented in pseudo-scientific literature); it is, to one degree or another, a perfect computer program that does not meet the characteristics of autonomy, will, independent decision-making and other inherent human qualities. Currently, the degree of development of social relations with the inclusion of artificial intelligence functionality allows us to conclude that it (artificial intelligence or, more correctly, a computer program) has not yet reached that “level of development” that would allow us to speak of it as a full-fledged subject or a subject “with limited rights and obligations” of legal relations, both offline and online. It is most acceptable to consider it the object of such legal relations.

CONTROLLING MOTORS USING FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM (FBD) PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Authors: Abasova Nigar , Mammadli Maryam , Naghiyeva Malahat
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are industrial computers working with control structured system software equipped with input/output units and communication interfaces suitable for the implementation of command and control schemes of industrial automation systems. It was designed to replace relay control systems and the first commercial PLC was produced by Modicon in 1969. In those years, this device, designed to be used instead of relay control circuits, could only work with basic logic operation commands. After the successful introduction of the first commercial PLC in industry, companies such as Allen Bradley, General Electric, GEC, Siemens, Westinghouse produced PMKs [1]. For the implementation of this work, the 1512C CPU type of the S7-1500 PMK introduced in 2012 by the SIEMENS brand, which has made a small contribution to the PLC market, will be used. The Functional Block Diagram (FBD) programming language created according to the 61131-3 standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission is intended for the sequential operation of engines in the system to be built with the S7-1500 PLC. Networks will be created using 2 methods, "Set", "Reset" and "P", "N" commands, taking into account the electrical locking in the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal software to control and operate the engines sequentially.

Enhancing Machine-Translated Tourism Texts: Post-Editing Practices of Indonesian Students
Authors: Dewi Kesuma Nasution  , Bambang Panca Syahputra
Published: July 2024

This study investigates practices among students majoring in the English Education Study program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara Indonesia in post-editing machine-translated tourism texts. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, we analyzed the post-editing practices of these students. The texts postedited were authentic Indonesian tourism texts sourced from lonely planet website. The findings revealed machine translation errors in three main areas: lexico-semantic errors, grammatical errors, and syntactic errors. Lexico-semantic errors often involved incorrect word choices and mistranslations of nuanced terms. Grammatical errors were prevalent in the misuse of tense, agreement, and article usage. Syntactic errors included improper sentence structure and word order, leading to awkward or unclear translations. As a result of these errors, it was observed that students did some corrections to polish the machine translated text, from the most dominant type of correction to the least dominant, including correcting lexical choices, correcting word form, correcting word order, omissions, additions and deleting. It is recommended that future studies involve more diverse participants with different text types so as to generate a more comprehensive finding.

Published: July 2024

This study examines the impact of attitude, social media influencers, electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) and credibility on behavioral intention among youth. An online survey was distributed with the help of an adapted questionnaire from past studies. A total of 200 cases were considered in this study, and reliability analysis and regression analysis were performed in SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that all variables of attitude, social media influencers, and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) positively and significantly impact behavioral intention. However, the attitude was found to have a more significant impact on the behavior of the youth of Pakistan due to higher beta values than the dependent variables. Therefore, policymakers in the textile industry can consider these variables in the future.

Published: July 2024

Bermukun merupakan salah satu aktiviti seni warisan budaya masyarakat Sarawak yang masih kekal relevan hingga ke hari ini.  Aktiviti bermukun melibatkan tiga komponen utama iaitu bergendang, berbalas pantun dan bertandak.  Metodologi kajian ini melibatkan kajian kualitatif dan analisis kandungan berbantukan Model Segi Tiga Semiotik. Data pantun dikumpul melalui kajian lapangan yang melibatkan aktiviti bermukun dan kaedah persampelan yang digunakan ialah kaedah persempelan bertujuan. Implikasi kajian ini menjadi output kepada pembinaan Profil Perlambangan Pantun Tradisi Bermukun Masyarakat Melayu Sarawak dan Profil Makna Pantun Tradisi Bermukun Masyarakat Melayu Sarawak. Aktiviti berbalas pantun ini dianggap unik kerana disampaikan secara spontan yang didendangkan melalui nyanyian. Keindahan berbalas pantun dalam tradisi bermukun ini juga dapat dilihat melalui penggunaan ungkapan dalam rangkap pantun tersebut. Ungkapan ini diwakili oleh perlambangan yang berbentuk eksplisit dan implisit yang mencerminkan keintelektualan dan seni berkomunikasi dalam kalangan masyarakat Sarawak. Namun begitu, unsur perlambangan yang berbentuk eksplisit dan implisit boleh menimbulkan ketidakfahaman disebabkan oleh kekangan bahasa yang berbeza. Kesannya, mesej yang cuba disampaikan melalui pantun tersebut tidak difahami oleh bukan penutur jati. Hakikatnya, budaya berbalas pantun yang diwarisi sejak turun-temurun ini dapat memupuk rasa cinta kepada aktiviti seni dan budaya dalam kalangan masyarakat di negeri Sarawak. Hal ini sejajar dengan peranan dan fungsi Kementerian Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya yang dipertanggungjawabkan di bawah Jabatan Kesenian dan Kebudayaan Negeri Sarawak. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti unsur perlambangan dan menganalisis makna eksplisit dan implisit dalam rangkap pantun Melayu Sarawak serta mendokumentasikan pantun sebagai hasil seni khazanah bangsa.

Published: July 2024

COVID-19 virus proved to be very contagious resulting in a public health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO), posing overall public health system and governance challenges. Amid the pandemic period and the unprecedented increase in healthcare demands, pharmacy services are an important mainstay to combat the COVID-19 virus pandemic. However, not all pharmacies have inventive and adaptive pharmacist practices, particularly pharmacists working in rural areas. In the present article, we observed how pharmaceutical swiftly acted response in to marketing during the COVID-19 period. The populations of focus were employees in marketing divisions with an emphasis on product sales. The data were obtained through in depth interviews and documentative observations. The findings showed, that the communication transition from offline to online is the emergent strategy followed by establishing and promoting remote pharmacy services. The information and suggestions offered in this manuscript could help in the restructuring of existing pharmacy services by governments, public health bodies, and policymakers in response to a pandemic.

Cyberterrorism in Africa – Is This the Real Life, Is This Just Fantasy?
Authors: Grobbelaar Alta
Published: July 2024

This paper seeks to examine the relevance of the term ‘cyberterrorism’ within African spaces. Although the notion of cyberterrorism as a concept is contested by scholars such as Jason Burke and Marc Sageman, the application of the concept in an African context raises a number of concerns. Firstly, rather than focusing on the semantic and conceptual issues only, more attention should be paid to the material implications of such discourses for people and states on the continent who are on the receiving end of such conceptualisation. Discourses regarding fear are always very complex and shape the way in which reality is perceived, understood and how hegemonic power-relations are formed within certain contexts. Secondly, these discourses reflect a Eurocentric bias, because, as visible in the definition used and accepted by US defence analysts, cyberterrorism would refer to “Unlawful attacks and threats of attack against computers, networks, and the information stored therein when done to intimidate or coerce a government or its people in furtherance of political or social objectives.”. These types of discourses are largely state-centric or government-centric, created to operate in spheres where effective governance varies from what is accepted as such on the African continent. While connectivity and globalization are becoming increasingly important for Africa as a whole, it begs the question whether the term is not more appropriate for highly globalized, technologically advanced contexts of the global North. In contrast with countries in the global North, African countries’ limited use and penetration of information technology thus underline the need for a critical (re)examination of the discourses relating to cyberterrorism in the African context. What needs to be established is whether cyberthreats, specifically cyberterrorism, pose a real threat on the continent, or whether the concept has become a platitude or blanket term to describe any form of information-based hostility. The paper questions the application of concepts such as cyberthreats, cyberterrorism and cybersecurity in African-centered approaches.
Turkey in the Horn of Africa

Published: July 2024

Turkey has started to build closer ties with Somalia in the last decade. Somalia is in a strategically located at a key point in Africa which is also of global importance asa gateway from the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, leading to the Mediterranean. This indicates that many world powers want to gain influence in Somalia, but when the African country was in serious crisis, Turkey took advantage of the difficult times to step in, show its power and start building connections in the Horn of Africa. In 2011, during the humanitarian crisis, which devastated Somalia, Turkey helped the country with important and unforgettable volume. Since then, the relations between the two countries have been strengthening connections. In 2023 we can state that Turkey has its largest embassy in the world in Somalia, Turkey has a huge military camp in Somalia’s capital, Turkish companies run the Mogadishu’s international airport and international port, and one of the Mogadishu’s biggest hospital is named after Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as Turkey renovated the facility.

Countering Extremist Violence and Terrorism in Cabo Delgado
Authors: Besenyő János , Hegedűs Éva
Published: July 2024

Radical Islamic insurgency and violent extremism have claimed over 5,250 lives and forcibly displaced at least 734,000 people in Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique over the past six and a half years. Counter-insurgency efforts of the government to date have mainly focused on a military- and security-based response, paying less attention to the structural drivers of extremist violence, such as socio-economic inequalities, poor gov-ernance, historic ideological, ethnic and religious oppositions, and an incomplete peace-building and reconciliation process from the post-civil war period. The paper examines how Mozambique can learn from its past peace-building and Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) experience, build on the achievements while also correct the shortcomings, which have equally contributed to the rise of violence. It also analyses ways to implement a tailored, inclusive, and effective strategy of Countering and Pre-venting Violent Extremism (C/PVE), building on the past but linking it to present needs and future challenges. Addressing long-standing root causes, focusing on youth and their communities, and furthering reconciliation are just a few areas, among others, to focus on to ensure that a heavy military response does not undermine the prospects of long-term peace.

Os povos indígenas e tradicionais nas teses e dissertações na Amazônia Legal: questões de educação, direito e formação de professores(as)
Authors: Camargo Leila Maria , Silva Jonilde Lima da , Targino Emerson Daniel
Published: July 2024

Neste trabalho, tratamos da questão: como os povos indígenas e populações tradicionais são abordados nas teses e dissertações produzidas nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu, no âmbito da Amazônia Legal. É uma pesquisa sobre o Estado de Conhecimento, de cunho qualitativo, que trabalhou com uma amostra de 70 trabalhos. O período analisado é de 2010-2022. O artigo é produto da “Pesquisa em Educação na Amazônia: história, política, formação de professores e diversidade cultural”, que integra o Programa Nacional de Cooperação Acadêmica (Procad) e que busca compreender e identificar como se configura a educação na Amazônia em seus contextos histórico e político, bem como as dimensões da formação de professores e sua relação com a diversidade cultural. Na amostra, identificamos nas teses e dissertações um crescente interesse em pesquisas – especialmente nos últimos anos – em conhecer melhor as questões indígenas e de populações tradicionais, no que trata da compreensão dessas culturas, saberes, resistências e formação de professores(as) específicos. Embora ainda incipientes, as pesquisas analisadas neste artigo permitem que levantemos a hipótese de que esse interesse é resultante da maior presença de professores indígenas, quilombolas, ribeirinhos, entre outros sujeitos, nos cursos de pós-graduação, que vêm transformando, mesmo que ainda lentamente, os espaços da produção do conhecimento, despertando o interesse dos programas e desafiando as universidades a repensarem o campo de formação de professores especialmente nas Amazônias, de forma a construir um melhor diálogo com outras culturas e saberes, provocando fraturas nas visões colonizadoras presentes na região.
O novo Ensino Médio pós-BNCC no Distrito Federal e possíveis alternativas contra-hegemônicas
Authors: Macedo Jussara Marques de , Sampaio Maria das Dores
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo pretende-se analisar o processo de implementação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) do Ensino Médio (Brasil, 2018) nas escolas públicas do Distrito Federal (DF), a partir da experiência das escolas piloto, em 2020. A análise tem como referência teórico-metodológica o materialismo histórico-dialético e toma como referência empírica a Lei nº 13.415/2017 (Brasil, 2017) e o Documento Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) Ensino Médio (Brasil, 2018). Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com enfoque qualitativo por meio de fontes primárias e secundárias e análise documental. Evidenciou-se que a política curricular atende às exigências de formação do capital sob a lógica da cidadania. Conclui-se, portanto, que a formação para a emancipação humana é a única capaz de contribuir para a construção de outra sociabilidade que não a capitalista.

Published: July 2024

Este estudo objetivou analisar, na perspectiva dos estudantes do Ensino Superior, a relação entre conversações internas, externas e expectativas iniciais para a consecução dos seus projetos de vida pessoais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa desenvolvida em sala de aula pela via do protagonismo estudantil com estudantes ingressantes do curso superior de Engenharia Elétrica no ano de 2022. Aplicaram-se dois instrumentos de pesquisa “Projeto de vida” e “Quem somos nós?”, os quais foram desenvolvidos individualmente e discutidos coletivamente em dinâmica de roda de conversa. Os dados dos instrumentos foram cruzados e investigados a partir da análise de conteúdo por categorização. Os resultados indicam que a dimensão pessoal exerce papel mediador nos projetos de vida estudantis. Obter crescimento pessoal e felicidade são meios capazes de alcançar projetos outros nas dimensões acadêmica e profissional. O curso representa um projeto a ser concluído pela maioria dos estudantes e a aprendizagem é uma importante condição para a permanência, aliada à manutenção de boas expectativas e envolvimento com as atividades acadêmicas. As dimensões reflexivas mostraram-se mecanismos indutores da permanência, sendo as conversas internas mais frequentes na mediação e regulação das preocupações e tomada de decisões em relação aos projetos de vida.
ByteDance v. Commission

Published: July 2024

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a revolutionary tool to regulate EU digital markets, it complements competition law by imposing ex ante obligations on the largest digital undertakings. The General Court judgement in the ByteDance case was the first test of the limits of this expediated enforcement and resulted in a remarkable win for the Commission. The Court dismissed ByteDance’s appeal against the European Commission’s decision to designate ByteDance with its social network TikTok as gatekeeper under the DMA.
Bulgaria’s Constitutional Drama and the EU Commission’s Rose-Colored Glasses
Authors: Vassileva Radosveta
Published: July 2024

On 26 July 2024, Bulgaria’s Constitutional Court declared a significant part of constitutional amendments enacted in December 2023 unconstitutional. These amendments were part of a rushed constitutional reform which was supposed to address persistent rule of law challenges in the country, such as the excessive powers of the Prosecutor’s Office and the politicization of the Supreme Judicial Council. The drama in Bulgaria raises concerns about why the EU Commission recognizes half-baked, ill-written constitutional reforms as progress without analysis of their substantive merit in context.

AROUND THE GLOBE
MEDIA CONSUMPTION AND ELECTION CAMPAIGNS IN BULGARIA
Authors: Инджов Иво
Published: July 2024

The sixth in the last three years of parliamentary elections in Bulgaria is an occasion to explore the role of the media as a key actor in election campaigns. The work is based on data analysis (primary and secondary) for media consumption from quantitative studies and so -called cabinet study. It was established that Bulgaria, despite some specifics, fits into the global trends of media consumption. First, television still remains the leading media for satisfying the information needs of the population. Second, however, social networks and online media are on the rise. Third - in Bulgaria, researches usually put all online media under one “hat”, but the strong presence of traditional media on the Internet should also be taken into account. Fourth, radio and the press are now secondary media, but they still matter to older people. During election campaigns, the picture is generally a small copy of the usual consumption. Television still holds the palm of the championship, but it is already shaken by the new media. Three groups of media users can be distinguished, which are more important for political communication. People up to 30 years old, who by praville are electoral passive, are “immunized” against the television product. At the same time, it can be predicted that for understandable reasons, after 10-20 years, the 60+ group will begin to use many more new media. People aged 40+, however, are ideal target groups for election campaigns with content overflow and television messages in the new media and vice versa.
Semiotic analysis of presidential candidate roasting video content on TikTok’s @sandissukron
Authors: Martiyana Devita , Ardianto Erik
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the content of presidential candidate roasting videos on @sandissukron’s TikTok account using Peirce’s semiotic theory. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through indirect observation of three @sandissukron video contents and documentation studies. The results showed that the video content can be analyzed using Peirce’s semiotics, resulting in various meanings ranging from principles, traits, personalities, to implied goals. The explanation of these meanings is described in a trichotomy table consisting of sign, object, and interpretant. The gestures, intonation and coded language in the video represent the nature and personality of the intended presidential candidate. Anies Baswedan is portrayed as someone who is good at rhetoric and has a smart political strategy, Prabowo Subianto is portrayed as a power-hungry individual with a poor record on human rights, while Ganjar Pranowo is portrayed as a figure who is not trusted and is considered a party puppet. This research provides deep insight into how signs in TikTok video content can provide complex interpretations of presidential candidates and reflect public opinions and perceptions. It shows that social media has a significant role in shaping political narratives and public opinion.
