Authors: Erwin Rahmi
Published: October 2022

Peran laut yang tak kalah penting adalah sebagai sarana transportasi yang menghubungkan belahan bumi yang satu dengan belahan bumi yang lainnya. Transportasi lewat laut dengan alat angkut kapal laut menjadi transportasi utama karena dapat menjangkau daerah pedalaman dan menampung banyak orang/barang Meskipun demikian, trasportasi lewat laut tergolong beresiko tinggi dikarenakan banyak hal yang tidak diinginkan di laut. International Maritime Organization (IMO) merupakan badan khusus Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa yang bertanggung jawab dalam menjaga keselamatan dan keamanan pelayaran serta mencegah terjadinya pencemaran lingkungan laut akibat aktivitas penggunaan laut. International Maritime Organization memiliki kewenangan dalam menentukan peraturan internasional tentang standar keselamatan, keamanan dalam mengatur segala aktivitas pelayaran internasional. Pada waktu terbentuknya International Maritime Organization, beberapa konvensi internasional penting telah dikembangkan seperti International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974 tentang keselamatan jiwa di laut dan International Convention on Regulation for Preventing Collision at Sea (COLREGs) 1972 tentang tubrukan di laut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pengaturan tanggung jawab negara tentang pencegahan kecelakaan kapal di laut menurut hukum internasional dan implementasinya terhadap hukum nasional Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan  dalam penelitian ini adalah normatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang di lakukan maka dapat dilakukan kesimpulan, tanggung jawab negara untuk mencegah terjadinya tabrakan kapal di laut dapat dilihat pada dua konvensi International Maritime Organization yaitu: International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974 dan International Convention on Regulation for Preventing Collision at Sea 1972. Indonesia telah meratifikasi konvensi tersebut. Atas dasar itu, Indonesia melaksanakan kewajiban internasionalnya dengan mengundangkan Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2008 tentang Pelayaran.
TINJAUAN YURIDIS PUTUSAN NOMOR 738/PDT.P/2019/PN.PTK TENTANG PENETAPAN ANAK LUAR KAWIN
Authors: Purba Boy Yosua
Published: October 2022

Undang-Undang Perkawinan mengatakan apabila perkawinan itu absah dengan cara dilaksanakan melalui kaidah setiap agama dan keyakinan. Selain itu, UU Perkawinan mengharapkan untuk mencatat perkawinan disetiap perkawinan di Indonesia. Undang-Undang Perkawinan belum  menjelaskan serta mengatur tentang bagaimana dampak kaidahnya, dengan perkawinan yang cuma diperbuat dengan keyakinan saja, mengecualikan pendaftaran perkawinannya. Di kota Pontianak, ada orang Tionghoa yang mengadakan perkawinan dengan beralaskan kepercayaan dan mengecualikan pendaftaran pernikahan. Kondisi itu menyebabkan dampak yang nyata bahwa anak dari jalinan yang tidak tercatat akan mendapatkan situasi sebagai anak di luar perkawinan. Mengingat penggambaran yang telah disebutkan, yang menyebabkan persoalan dalam penulisan skripsi ini yaitu bagaimana kedudukan anak di luar kawin di Indonesia dan bagaimana pertimbangan hakim dalam putusan Pengadilan Negeri Pontianak dalam perkara Nomor 738/Pdt.P/2019/PN.PTK. Melalui hasil penelitian boleh disimpulkan bahwa kedudukan anak luar kawin di Indonesia secara undang undang hanya memiliki hubungan perdata dengan ibu  biologisnya sebagaimana tertuang pada Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 Pasal 43. Peninjauan Hakim dalam perkara Nomor 738/Pdt.P/2019/PN.PTK tidak bertentangan dengan konstitusi. Berdasarkan Putusan MK Nomor 46/PUU-VIII/2010, maka untuk membuktikan asal-usul anak dapat dilakukan berdasarkan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, yaitu menggunakan tes DNA (deoxyribo nucleic acid).

Dilecehkan seorang manusia adalah suatu tindakan terkutuk yang tak patut dilakukan seorang manusia kepada manusia lainnya, dan ini tidak sesuatu yang pertama kali terjadi di Republik ini. Apalagi jika pelecehan itu terjadi pada seorang anak, yang notabene adalah berkat yang diberikan mahakuasa kepada orang tua nya dan generasi penerus bagi bangsa nya. Negara telah menjamin perlindungan kehidupan yang aman terhadap anak melalui peraturan perundang-undangannya, yaitu terletak pada Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 dan UU tentang Perlindungan anak terbaru yang menjadi perubahan pada UU No 23 Tahun 2002. Selanjutnya UU Perlindungan anak juga telah mengatur mengenai hak-hak yang akan didapatkan anak sebagai korban kejahatan seksual. Hal tersebut adalah perasan dari konsep Restorative of Justice yang merupakan konsep baru dalam hukum pidan Indonesia. Jika dikaitkan dengan putusan No.64/PidSus/2021/PN.Mdn bahwa terdakwa melakukan hubungan seksual dengan korban tanpa dengan paksaan dan kekerasan, namun hanya dengan rayuan dan korban kebetulan kekasih terdakwa.

Muslim Scholars, point of view is that Muhaddithin have opposed, with full power, the condemnable tries for fabrication of Ahadith. Valuable principles for the identification of authentic and unauthentic traditions were the result of the struggles done by Muhaddithin. With the help of these principles the categorization of Ahadith came in to practical. Professor Joseph Schacht argues that the material presented as Ahadith and Sunna of Prophet by Muslim scholars is the production of later times. According to his point of view, there is no authentic hadith in the bulk of traditions and if assumed that there are few authentic, they are also mixed up with unauthentic and there is no possibility of identification of authentic one. This study is a try to identify the mistakes of his research approach.

Authors:   Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State Pedagogical University, Leleka Tetiana
Published: October 2022

The processes of intercultural integration and communication, as well as the internationalization of the English language in the world, require a new understanding of teaching a foreign language. Therefore, the use of new productive techniques is an important aspect of education. At the present stage in all the progressive educational systems of the world there are significant changes in the methods of teaching a foreign language and the professional subject. The teaching priority has been shifted from mastering grammar and mechanical learning of the vocabulary, reading and translation to a more functional aspect. The aim of the article is to analyze the main aspects of ClІl methodology in teaching English, which corresponds to the important trends of the educational innovations of the 21st century. The CLIL methodology is the most rational at the stage of the formation and implementation of the multilingual education model as a sign of language integration. It involves a significant number of techniques suitable for all the academic subjects, and not only allows the students to communicate effectively using a foreign language in different areas of life, but also improves all the speech skills. This technology considers learning a foreign language as a tool for mastering other subjects, which allows developing the communication skills in a foreign language. The leading idea is based on the assumption that the adoption of CLIL technology in the period of intercultural communication will let the teachers use the modern information technologies, and join the European educational space. The implementation of CLIL elements is based on the experience of the Western countries and it is the most rational for the formation of the new education model. After all, CLIL can be applied in different forms and situations, as it covers different forms of teaching. The methodology provides a significant number of techniques that are suitable for all the subjects. It not only allows the students to communicate effectively using a foreign language in various fields of life, but also improves all the language skills. This approach develops critical thinking, creative potential of the students. The introduction of CLIL allows to broaden students’ horizons of trained subjects to the level of rapid adaptation to their future profession. The CLIL methodology helps teach a foreign language using topics and materials from other disciplines.

Authors:   Berdiansk State Pedagogical University, Mytsyk Hanna
Published: October 2022

In the context of bridging the gap between the quality of education in urban and rural areas in Ukraine, in the framework of the educational reform of general secondary education, a new educational institution by organization and structure form which is a basic educational institution was proposed. With the expansion of the practice of inclusive education of children with special educational needs in general secondary education institutions, it is appropriate to talk about bridging this gap and for providing correctional and developmental services to such children as part of correctional and developmental services for children with speech disorders. The assessment of the possibilities of the basic educational institutions in their readiness to provide correctional and developmental services to children with special educational needs showed that among pedagogical positions of the basic educational institutions and their branches mostly need speech therapists. Taking into account the features of the rural environment the necessity of increasing the access to correctional and developmental services for children with speech disorders living in rural areas is proved. First of all, it is necessary in rural settlements which remote from educational institutions. It exacts from a speech therapist the other way of building his work in this direction. As an alternative, the possibility of organizing such work at a distance using distance learning technologies is considered. Despite the positive changes in the implementation of inclusive education in Ukraine, it is noted that the level of logistics of the basic educational institution in rural area doesn’t allow to speech therapist using their potential in organizing correctional and developmental work for children with speech disorders in full extent. The opinion of necessity to solve the staffing issue, improve the logistics and educational provision of the basic educational institutions, which would allow to a speech therapist to organize and conduct correctional and developmental work properly within the single educational space was expressed.

Published: October 2022

This paper examines how the social constructions of the notion of “being faithful” influenceduniversity students’ responses to messages encouraging partner fidelity, and their sexual practicesespecially with regard to concurrent and multiple sexual relationships. The discussions are basedon the results of a PhD study conducted at three universities in KwaZulu-Natal to explore students’responses to communication and media strategies relating to the prevention of infection with HIVthrough abstinence, being faithful to one partner and the correct and consistent use of condoms.Study findings show that a significantly high proportion (39.0%) of the study participants whoindicated having had sex in the previous 12 months had more than one sexual partner in the sameperiod. Close to half (48.5%) of the currently sexually active students had more than one sexualpartner. The study further established that the socially constructed meaning of “being faithful”, asa commitment towards matrimonial relationship, mainly influenced individual’s engagement inmultiple and concurrent sexual relationships. The study points out the need for the developmentof social communication programmes so as to generate spaces within which socially createdmeanings, beliefs and values can be renegotiated.

This study explored the status of corporate communication in selected South African companies.The main purpose of the study was to determine the levels of corporate communication knowledgeand practical abilities of top corporate communication professionals. The research design adoptedwas a mixed method approach utilising a sequential transformatory model. The sample, selectedthrough purposive and convenience sampling, consisted of twenty-six professionals drawn froma wide range of businesses and sectors in South Africa.The study indicates that corporate communication professionals deal with stakeholder-relationshipmanagement and perceive their roles as being strategic, then managerial, and lastly technicalin nature, which is however often not practically applied. Furthermore, the study alludes to thefact that the corporate communication professionals concerned had a basic understanding ofthe strategic issues where the strategic implications of issues of publicity, company image andreputation were seemingly grasped by professionals. This highlights the need for continuoustraining in corporate communication - particularly at the strategic level- although it is apparentthat corporate communication professionals need to be schooled continuously in a fundamentalunderstanding and analysis of power relations, ranging from the most basic interpersonal levelsto the socio-political contexts. Such training may allude to how these contexts, these relations,affect the way in which practitioners put it into practice. The study forms part of an internationalbenchmarking survey that aims to contribute to a better understanding of corporate communicationbest practices worldwide.

Beyond dramatic revolutions and grand rebellions
Authors: Willems Wendy
Published: October 2022

In the context of the Zimbabwe crisis of the early 2000s, both popular and academic accountsfrequently discussed Zimbabweans as passive victims of their government, hereby suggestingthat the extensive efforts of the state to create a ‘patriotic’ citizenry through the cultural project ofthe Third Chimurenga were largely successful. This article argues that the absence of physicalprotests in the streets should not be equated with an absence of resistance. By adopting a narrowfocus on the forms of resistance associated with dramatic revolutions and grand rebellions,journalists and scholars neglected the everyday forms of resistance - such as popular humour andrumour - by means of which Zimbabweans sought to challenge the state. These nascent forms ofresistance could have been drawn upon in a more sustained way by the political opposition andcivil society in order to provoke political change.
Blogging down a dictatorship
Authors: Moyo Last
Published: October 2022

This article examines the use of blogs to mediate the experiences of citizens during a violentelection in Zimbabwe. It focuses specifically on how people disseminated and shared informationabout their tribulations under a regime that used coercive measures in the face of its crumblinghegemonic edifice. The article frames these practices within theories of alternative media andcitizen journalism and argues that digitisation has occasioned new counter-hegemonic spacesand new forms of journalism that are deinstitutionalised and deprofessionalised, and whoseradicalism is reflected in both form and content. I argue that this radicalism in part articulates apostmodern philosophy and style as seen in its rejection of the elaborate codes and conventionsof mainstream journalism. The Internet is seen as certainly enhancing the people’s right tocommunicate, but only to a limited extent because of access disparities, on the one hand, and itsappropriation by liberal social movements whose configuration is elitist, on the other. I concludeby arguing that the alternative media in Zimbabwe, as reflected by Kubatana’s bloggers, lack thecapacity to envision alternative social and political orders outside the neo-liberal framework. This,I contend, is partly because of the political economy of both blogging as a social practice andalternative media as subaltern spaces. Just as the bloggers are embedded to Kubatana’s virtualspace to self-publish, Kubatana is likewise embedded to a neo-liberal discourse that is traceableto its funding and financing systems.

Comprehension of HIV/AIDS messages in Lesotho
Authors: Ojo Olutunmise Adesola , De Lange Rudi
Published: October 2022

Targeted audiences do not always comprehend HIV/AIDS visual campaigns that are meant toeducate and inform, and thus such campaigns do not result in a positive change in behaviourand attitude. This is possibly ascribable to the inappropriate use of graphic imagery and othervisual elements in many such campaigns. Even though the cost of the ineffective use of graphicimages in information and awareness might be difficult to calculate – especially with regard tohealth-related problems in which lives are involved, – the effectiveness of any visual healthcommunicationmaterial in terms of meaningful learning, comprehension or retention cannevertheless be determined by means of post-testing. In this study, the comprehension of the loveLife outdoor campaign material was thus post-tested amongst 301 subjects from five high schools in both urban and rural areas. The study set outto determine the subjects’ comprehension of both the messages and the graphic imagery andevaluated the material for self-efficacy. The results indicate that suitable graphic imagery fostersmessage comprehension, that inappropriate imagery inhibits comprehension, and that realisticand appropriate imagery is preferred to abstract and representational imagery. In addition, it wasfound that familiar images are a vehicle towards improved comprehension of HIV/AIDS messages.

It becomes apparent from these debates that certain paradigm shifts areimminent not so much as a result of new knowledge, but rather as a result of new metaphors thatpresent alternative perspectives for interdisciplinary corroboration.Thus far, debates on revisiting cybernetic concepts have largely been conducted in other socialsciences disciplines such as sociology, politics and semiology, this despite the challenges a cocreational perspective poses for communication in general and for organisational communicationspecifically. This paper aims to raise the debate amongst communication scholars, especiallysince communication scholars are conspicuously absent in the social-scientific debates withinother disciplines, and we are in danger of failing to challenge our own intellectual assumptions.As such, this paper discusses and explores the appropriateness and applicability of cyberneticsand autopoiesis as contemporary theoretical approaches to the study of organisations ascommunicatively enacted entities. It attempts to identify some of the intellectual challenges posedby extending the boundaries of our conversations beyond our recognised metaphors and concepts.The purpose of this paper is to initiate dialogue among communication scholars that may resonatewith the constructivist epistemology, and which constitutes both cybernetics and postmodernism.We argue that cybernetics in its entirety poses a challenge for the study of organisations from acommunication perspective. We argue, as Geyer (1995) has done, that it may be an intellectuallychallenging exercise to reposition the current modern and postmodern organisational metaphorswithin a single new emerging metaphor: the schismatic metaphor.
Peace journalism as ideology or peace journalism as a semiotic act of world and life view?
Authors: Fourie Pieter Jacobus
Published: October 2022

In this article it is argued that in the context of critical media and cultural studies’ emphasis onideology, the accent in understanding peace journalism frequently falls on peace journalismas advocacy journalism and on peace journalism as an ideological manipulation of therepresentation of war, conflict, terrorism, protest and violence. For an alternative understandingof peace journalism, and in the light of renewed academic interest in the understanding of worldand life view as a comprehensive set of values underlying cognition and representation, thisarticle suggests a focus on the description and analyses of the a priori values underlying ajournalist’s world and life view and demonstrates how such values may or may not be rooted ina fundamental world and life view predisposed to peace versus violence and war as a solutionto conflict. Given world and life view’s emphasis on meaning and meaning-making, the articlethen suggests an understanding of peace journalism and an understanding among journalistsof their work, as a semiotic act and as such signifying and representing the values of world andlife views in rhetorical and dialogical ways. Such an understanding and consciousness may leadto heightened journalistic sensitivity regarding how war, violence, conflict and hate are reported.This article deals in consecutive parts with the topics peace journalism, world and life view asa construct and its possible application in the field of peace journalism, and journalism as asemiotic act, characterised by signification, representation, rhetoric and dialogue as four of themain building blocks of journalistic communication, including peace journalism.

Against the backdrop of the many social ills affecting the country, South Africa continues to makestrides in the creation of a non-racist, non-sexist and non-violent society. The media’s role inthis endeavour is important. Hence, this research examined whether the media in South Africaoffered alternatives to violence in their coverage of the municipal protests recorded between 2009and 2011. The research revealed that the media’s coverage of these protests was narrow andpartial. In order for the coverage to be holistic, it is critical that the media go beyond reportingthe violence, its causes and its effects to offering alternatives to violence. However, offeringalternatives to violence is not the magic tool to prevent or even stop violence – it is a professionalactivity that highlights the key issues the media could focus on in order fully to inform the audiencein the public interest. It is also about socially responsible media.
exploration of digital rhetoric in a social network environment

This article explores the use of digital rhetoric in a social network environment with a view toobtaining greater insight into how traditional rhetoric may be applied. In this article, digital rhetoricrefers to persuasive communication in different electronic formats. The article focuses on aninductive logos communication technique used in a popular microblogging site to promote the2011 Rugby World Cup event held in New Zealand. Sport readily lends itself to the viral spreadof information by means of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) because it generates excitementamong sport enthusiasts. Big sporting events thus provide an ideal medium for marketers of sportsevents to use different marketing communication tools to communicate persuasive messagesregarding sport to a large target audience. The findings of the study on which this article is basedshed more light on digital rhetoric and can also serve as a heuristic tool for other researchersanalysing sports-marketing communication messages in social network environments.
To speak is to fight
Authors: Sonderling Stefan
Published: October 2022

This article, as part of a larger study on the role of war as the primary and primordial formativemechanism of human thought and communication, investigates the functions of war in thethinking of postmodern philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard. It is argued that the central ideathat provides the structuring framework for Lyotard’s theory of communication is the concept ofagonistics that is derived from Heraclitus’ assertion that war is the father of all things. Againstthe prevailing hegemony of the pacifist bias in poststructuralist social theories, Lyotard returnslanguage to its pragmatic origin in the war-like agonistic and combative social reality. Lyotard’sinsight that acts of speaking in society resemble fighting facilitates a better understanding of thecontemporary postmodern global world that resembles a return of the neomedieval condition,which was characterised by perfect communication and warfare.
voiceless generation
Authors: Malila Vanessa
Published: October 2022

Nyamnjoh (2005:1) argues that “… the media … can, in principle, facilitate popular empowerment as a societal project”. The problem is that the news media do not seem to be doing this for young people in South Africa. This paper provides an analysis of selected news media and their representation of young people through coverage of the education sector in South Africa. The aim is to examine whether the media are fulfilling two key functions in their role as facilitators of popular empowerment in the public sphere: Do they provide citizens with the information they require to engage in issues that affect them (such as education), and secondly, do the mediaprovide a space for citizens to voice their concerns and debates about those issues? A content analysis of print and online media provides an overview of the kind of coverage young people are exposed in reports on education. On the strength of the evidence thus acquired, this paper argues that the news media are failing to enable young people to be active citizens because they do notprovide information that engages the youth in respect of education coverage and, when they do cover education, the reports do not feature the voices of young people.
