Human Security Implications of Foreign Military Bases in Djibouti
Authors: Onor Kester C
Published: February 2024

The principles of sovereignty and non-interference have historically shaped China's foreign policy, serving as fundamental tenets to safeguard the nation from external interventions, particularly during and after the Cold War. However, in recent times, there has been a noticeable shift in China's foreign policy as it embarks on an unprecedented expansion of its military presence beyond its borders. This shift is exemplified by the establishment of a permanent military base in Djibouti, situated in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region, which China refers to as "support facilities" or "logistical facilities." This marks China's inaugural venture into maintaining a permanent military presence outside its territorial boundaries. This study delves into the motivations behind China's adjusted foreign policy stance and examines the implications of this new approach on human security. While acknowledging the critical human insecurity implications associated with China's military presence in Djibouti, the analysis reveals a multifaceted strategy encompassing economic, political, ideological, and security interests. This strategic move positions China as a significant global player, shaping its role on the world stage.

Published: February 2024

Researchers use the theory of new media characteristics proposed by Denis McQuail to reveal the reasons for using Instagram Reels by the Directorate General of Immigration as the main media in the publication of Letters of Support for Work and Holiday Visa (SDUWHV) services. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive methods. This research uses two data sources, namely primary and secondary. Primary data was obtained by interviewing sources, while secondary data was collected by library research and observing the Directorate General of Immigration's Instagram Reels social media. The research results show that the reasons for using Instagram Reels as SDUWHV information media are in line with Denis Mcquail's theory of new media characteristics, namely interactivity, social presence, media richness, autonomy, elements of playfulness, and privacy. The practical significance of this research lies in its ability to show how government agencies can use social media to increase public engagement in their programs. In addition, this research also provides insight into how government agencies can innovate their communication strategies to adapt to changes in media consumption behavior, especially among the younger generation who are active users of social media. Thus, this research is not only relevant for public and government communication practitioners but also for academics who are interested in understanding the dynamics of communication in the digital era and how government institutions can utilize new media for publication and educational purposes.
Analysis of Corporate Communication Strategies in Enhancing Company Image
Authors: Feldiansyah Feldiansyah
Published: February 2024

This research has the main objective to investigate how PT. XYZ utilizes social media as a means to improve its corporate image. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach with an in-depth focus on PT XYZ. We analyzed the various communication strategies they implemented, including the application of P.E.N.C.I.L.S and RPAE theories, as well as conducted a SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by the company. In addition, we also conducted surveys and interviews with the corporate communication department. The results revealed that PT XYZ succeeded in building a positive image by implementing an effective corporate communication strategy. This strategy includes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, quality service, social and environmental responsibility, and attention to safety. In addition, we found that PT XYZ is also active in customer acquisition (CA) strategies on social media platforms, such as Twitter, regardless of the company's reputation. Information strategies are used more often than response and engagement. However, some experts argue that engagement may be more effective in achieving CSR goals. In addition, CSR communication is more focused on the outcomes produced by CSR actions rather than the concrete ways such actions are taken, in line with consumer interests and expectations. In conclusion, this study provides important insights into PT XYZ's successful corporate communication strategies in building its positive image through social media. These discoveries can serve as a helpful roadmap for other companies seeking to enhance their corporate communication strategies in social media. Therefore, this study holds the promise of making a beneficial impact on advancing corporate communication practices in the ever-expanding digital era.

Published: February 2024

This article aims to explain the conservation mechanisms of a community to protect village forests; and how actors can create communities that maintain the value of forests as spaces for life's needs. This article focuses on ethnobotanical knowledge (especially medicines), transmission, healing practices, and forest protection mechanisms. The relationship between these four things is a story of sustainable conservation, both in-situ and ex-situ. This mechanism turns out to be related to mythology, sacredness, and sacred areas. This phenomenon was found in Karonese, Daulu Village, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The cognitive anthropology approach with the concept of culture in mind becomes an important tool for analyzing how knowledge is constructed and transmitted. Ethnographic research methods with an emic approach, participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and completeness of filed notes are one way to capture the native point of view. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively through ongoing analysis. The conclusion of the study found that the capacity of actors, especially healers, and the transmission of ethnobotanical knowledge, especially medicines, and the survival of mythological stories and values about sacred areas have consequences for the sustainability of conservation of what they call the kerangen kuta or village forest.

The Impact of Bureaucratic Reform Policy on Public Services at the Population and Civil Registration Service of North Padang Lawas Regency
Authors: Nasution Adelina Fatmayanti , Sihombing Marlon , Ridho Hatta
Published: February 2024

Based on an analysis of the bureaucratic conditions in North Padang Lawas Regency after more than 15 years as a new autonomous region, it appears that the quality of public services is still low. The evaluation of the Indonesian Ombudsman Representative for North Sumatra in 2021 placed the district in the "bad" category. Research using qualitative models highlights obstacles to change, including resistance from employees who want to maintain the status quo. Although there is increased work motivation among some employees, senior employees tend to stick to a conservative mindset, creating a lack of uniformity in bureaucratic behavior. Bureaucratic reform efforts appear to be producing positive results in Disdukcapil services. Simplification of bureaucracy, application of information technology, and increased accessibility increase efficiency and effectiveness. Even though the Community Satisfaction Index survey shows an increase in positive perceptions, there are still discrepancies with observations in the field, especially regarding slow processes and lack of employee understanding. In the face of conservative employee resistance, Disdukcapil leaders need to engage them more in the change process, involving them in decision-making. It is also important to ensure services are inclusive, considering the needs of people with physical limitations or limited access to technology. Solutions such as pick-up services or efficient physical services can be implemented. This improvement is important to achieve the goals of bureaucratic reform and provide better services to the community.

Published: February 2024

Bien que l’exposition aux plateformes d’apprentissage en ligne telles que LinkedIn Learning, Coursera et edX augmente, la participation soutenue des utilisateurs et utilisatrices demeure difficile à obtenir. Nous avons cherché à vérifier si les rappels par courriel augmentaient l’interaction avec LinkedIn Learning des jeunes au chômage qui ne fréquentent pas l’école. Chaque participant·e a reçu gratuitement une licence seulement (groupe A), une licence et un accueil personnalisé (groupe B) ou une licence et un accueil personnalisé intégré à un programme de formation intensive (groupe C). Dans ces trois groupes, les participant·es ont été réparti·es au hasard entre le groupe de traitement, qui a reçu des courriels de rappel, et le groupe témoin. Un modèle de randomisation en deux étapes a été mis en œuvre pour tenir compte d’éventuels effets de propagation chez les pairs dans le troisième groupe. Sur l’ensemble des données, nous n’avons trouvé aucun signe que les rappels par courriel influencent l’utilisation de LinkedIn Learning. Cependant, pour le troisième groupe, qui a été exposé à de la formation continue, à un degré élevé d’activation et à une interaction considérable des étudiant·es, nous avons obtenu quelques données qui suggèrent une utilisation générale plus élevée, renforcée par des effets de propagation. Ces résultats suggèrent que l’interaction avec les outils d’apprentissage en ligne peut être rehaussée par une formation pratique, combinée à de l’interaction en ligne et en personne et à du mentorat sur l’utilisation des portails d’apprentissage en ligne.
Text gravitation, or Once more about A. Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter [Kapitanskaya dochka] and W. Scott’s novels
Authors: Vinogradova E. Y.
Published: February 2024

Walter Scott’s Rob Roy and Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter [Kapitanskaya dochka], similar in plot, could not be more different in speech organization. Pushkin’s speech genre is unique as a lightly gravitating text: short and verb-dominated sentences, compressed action, and a fast-paced narration that avoids lengthy descriptions of material objects. The implied reader’s role in both authors’ novels also differs. While Scott’s reader experiences the events in progress, Pushkin’s ‘incomplete present’ (Bakhtin) does not take shape. The reader of The Captain’s Daughter does not live the time through with its characters but uses their analytical skill to relate symmetrical episodes and images. The light gravitation of the text prevents the reader from immersing themselves into the novel’s progress, but allows to conceptualize the philosophy of history. Part of the article is dedicated to French translations of English novels in Pushkin’s days. The statistical data of the average sentence length in Pushkin’s works and other writers’ output demonstrates that The Captain’s Daughter holds a truly unique place.
At the boundary. Tatiana Repina
Authors: Kadochnikova I. S.
Published: February 2024

The article analyzes the motifs, imagery, and plot structure of three poetic collections authored by Tatiana Repina, one of the remarkable poets of ‘the thirty-year-old generation:’ Monograph. Written by a Single Person [Monografiya. Pishet odin chelovek] (2013), Without Chapters [Bez glav] (2014), and Air Density [Plotnost vozdukha] (2018). In her detailed study of the plot structure and distinctive characteristics of Repina’s poetics, Kadochnikova emphasizes the concept of boundaries as being of principal importance for understanding Repina’s poetics. The concept is revealed through the problem of a geographical identity and the lyrical heroine’s gender ambivalence, the ‘childlike/adultlike’ dichotomy, and the motif of puppetry and theatricality. A selection exemplifying the ‘local’ (Izhevsk-based) text serves the critic as a starting point for interpretation of Repina’s lyrical poetry, which Kadochnikova expands to include poems devoted to St. Petersburg, the image of the ‘generation of the 1990s,’ and problems of contemporary poetry at large. The resulting study uses Repina’s works to address the issue of boundaries in modern poetry.

The chapter studies the dualistic nature of Chinese management theory, namely the coexistence of two management styles: Wang Dao and Ba Dao. Wang Dao is based on the rules of virtue, and Ba Dao is based on the rules of law. Wang Dao implies a policy of agreement, and Ba Dao implies a policy of opposing the enemy. These two management styles are inseparable and important for the functioning and development of society. It is argued that the condition for modernizing the governance system of modern China, which is in search of a golden mean between the rule of virtue and the rule of law, is a hybrid democracy that absorbs the energy of consensual and competitive democracy.

At the beginning of the 21st century, China adopted a strategy of “going global”. In the first decade of the 21st century, much has been written about the growing international presence of the People's Republic of China, especially in developing regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America.
China-Latin America relations have deepened significantly in recent years so much, that the first decade of the 21st century can be called the “Chinese decade of Latin America.” However, as predicted at the very beginning, Latin America's trade relations with China are characterized by exports of primary goods from the region and imports of manufactured goods from China.
The commodity boom driven by China undoubtedly helped the region weather the global financial crisis that broke out in 2008/2009. Latin American politicians are increasingly concerned about the imbalance of their trade schemes, especially as the Asian giant is going through an economic decline, commodity prices tend to decrease.

In today's dynamic economic environment, strategic development is becoming one of the key factors for success of an organization. However, in order to correctly substantiate and effectively implement a strategy, it is necessary to have reliable methodological approaches and provisions. The oil and gas industry is one of the areas where economic globalization, which is a key feature of global economic development, is most fully manifested. Geological, production, economic factors of the functioning of vertically integrated oil companies in their integrated meaning predetermine their presence on relevant markets. This provokes, when determining the development strategy of such companies, to take into account the features and development trends of these markets. In this regard, the development of issues related to the development of methodological approaches to the strategic development of enterprises seems to be a relevant task. Methodological provisions for substantiating and improving strategic development represent a systematized set of theoretical knowledge and practical recommendations aimed at optimal use of available resources and capabilities. They help organizations analyze external and internal factors, identify goals and development priorities, and develop mechanisms for monitoring and adjusting strategy.

Research shown that the cell death, particularly apoptosis, can extend beyond single cell boundaries. Gap junctions IP3 diffusion, and sphingolipids play significant roles in membrane biology and regulation of cell function. S1P plays crucial role in the cardiovascular and immune systems, serving as a mediator of signaling during cell migration, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Intestinal phospholipid metabolism, including 1B phospholipase A2 and autotaxin-mediated pathways, contributes to cardiometabolic diseases through multiple mechanisms. A potential strategy for treating cardiovascular and metabolic diseases is the therapeutic suppression of1B phospholipase A2 and autotaxin in the gastrointestinal tract. Cellular stress signalling, inflammation, resolution, and host defence responses are all significantly influenced by lysophospholipids such LPA and S1P. New therapies for cancer, vascular diseases, fibrotic disorders, and autoimmune diseases have been made possible by developments in lysophospholipid research.

Among all the agricultural practices, sericulture plays a vital role in income generation by the rural population worldwide. In India, West Bengal is such a state where sericulture had been introduced long back and farmers are being economically benefitted from it. Several factors associated with sericulture and allied activities becoming challenging here and hence income is being critically hampered. In this situation, our study was conducted to assess the farmer’s income in respect to a total of 21 socio-personal and management variables associated with sericulture. A total of 127 respondents were selected randomly at village level under the three districts of West Bengal i.e., Murshidabad, Nadia and South 24 Parganas. The independent 14 socio-personal and 7 management variables were statistically analyzed using path and regression analysis. Path analysis showed the direct effect on x17, x6, and x13 which have been substantial and occupied the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position respectively, in terms of modal values. The extracted regression equation showed that the variables x6, x13, x17, and x20 were critically affected on the predicted character income (y). However, based on the findings of this study, if the identified factors can be addressed in terms of income generation, the number of sericulture farmers and overall progress will increase in the future.
Seed Scarification and Day Length Effect on the Germination and Vegetative Growth of Soybeans (Glycine max)

Published: February 2024

Studies were carried out to determine the scarification and day length effects on the germination and early growth of soybean (Glycine max). Soil was collected from the biological garden of Yobe State University Damaturu. The soybean seed sample consists of two different treatments including scarified and unscarified seeds with two different levels of day length. A soybean of the tested varieties was sown in a polythene pot with a depth of half an inch. About two seeds mixed with a star dress were sown in each polythene bag. The data collected were analyzed using Genstat software 16 editions versus. Results of the experiments carried out indicate that, the seeds of soybeans have a highest rate of germination percentage when subjected to scarification treatment. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that, there is no effect of scarification on the germination of soybeans but there was significance in the effect of scarification on the vegetative growth in which the plants that were exposed to 12 hours day and 12 hours night grew faster than those exposed to 24 hours. It is therefore believed that the method of preventing dormancy can be used on soybeans in order to improve the growth and subsequent yield of the soybean crop.

Kerinci Seblat National Park experienced an encroachment rate during 1990-2014 of 2,737 ha/year or 52.6% of the highest encroachment area in the Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatera. Dependence on forests is done to meet basic needs such as food and animal feed. A study was required to determine the level of women's dependence on Kerinci Seblat National Park through the fulfillment of basic needs. The data collection methods used were a literature study, field observation, and an in-depth interview. Ranking the level of dependence of women in the Kerinci Seblat National Park conservation area through the fulfillment of basic needs based on the Indonesian High Conservation Value Toolkit Revision Consortium (2008). The existing land in Pal VIII Village is mainly agricultural land, namely coffee plantations. The research results through in-depth interviews showed that women in Pal VIII Village fulfill their needs for food, energy sources, and medicines, many of which are obtained from outside the area. Cultivation was carried out on their private land and utilized in their yard. Women's use of forest resources in the area was low because women met their basic needs from outside the Kerinci Seblat area. The characteristics of fulfilling women's basic needs were mostly met in several ways, namely cultivation, buying, and taking from private gardens. Thus, the level of dependence of Pal VIII Village women to fulfill their basic needs in the Kerinci Seblat National Park area was low.

This paper is to explore the importance of managing education financing in order to improve the quality or quality of education in educational institutions, but in managing education financing it has not yet implemented and optimized a school- or madrasah-based management model so that it has not shown independence in the development of education in schools/ madrasas through the utilization of Education financing. Therefore, in this case, this paper needs to be raised with the aim of analyzing in depth how to implement educational financing management within the framework of school or madrasah-based management in realizing the independence of educational institutions. The method used in this paper uses the Research library approach. The results of the study concluded that financial or financial management by implementing school-based management will create school/madrasah independence in regulating the direction of educational development through the use of school finance or funding. And the efforts that can be made by schools/madrasas to obtain funding do not only depend on the central or regional government, but can optimize the school's internal circle or the surrounding community.
PENDAMPINGAN PENERAPAN METODE YANBU’A PADA PEMBELAJARAN BACA QUR’AN SANTRI AL-HIDAYAH KARANG PLOSO MALANG

Abstract
To increase reading fluency in the Koran, a mentoring program was established to use the Yanbu'a method. The capacity of students to read the Qur'an has increased as a result of this support. This is because classes are grouped based on the skills of the students, and more santri who are completing community service projects are becoming teachers, which helps to create more organized and productive classroom environments. The first deterrent is that the Islamic boarding school (pesantren) does not require applicants to take a Qur'anic reading test before accepting them. Second, the activity schedule at the Al-Hidayah Islamic boarding school is very busy, which results in a lack of routine tadarus activities as a means for students to deepen and facilitate their reading of the Al-Qur'an.
Keywords: Yanbu'a method, reading al-Qur’an fluency
 
Abstrak
Program pendampingan penerapan metode Yanbu’a dilaksanakan dalam rangka untuk meningkatkan kefasihan membaca al-Qur’an. Hasil dari pendampingan ini adalah meningkatnya kemampuan baca al-Qur’an bagi santri. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya pengelompokan kelas sesuai dengan kemampuan santri dan juga jumlah guru yang bertambah dari mahasiswa sedang dalam tugas pengabdian kepada masyarakat, yang mampu menjadikan kelas semakin kondusif dan efisien. Adapun Faktor penghambatnya yaitu pertama, pihak pesantren ketika menerima santri baru tidak melakukan seleksi atau tes baca al-Qur’an. Kedua, jadwal kegiatan di pesantren Al-Hidayah sangat padat yang mengakibatkan kurangnya kegiatan tadarus rutin sebagai sarana santri untuk mendalami dan memperlancar bacaan al-Qur’an.
Kata Kunci: metode Yanbu’a, kefasihan membaca al-Qur’an
