How in-group favouritism explains voting for Populist Radical Right Parties

How in-group favouritism explains voting for Populist Radical Right PartiesA study of minority and majority groups in France, Germany and the NetherlandsThe voting behaviour of racial and ethnic minorities attracts much speculation, with some claiming that racial and ethnic minorities vote for Populist Radical Right Parties (PRRPs) and some claiming they do not. In the European Union, where saving data on individual’s race and ethnicity is prohibited, it is very difficult to contribute to these conversations with real facts. Do ethnic minorities and majorities tend to vote for PRRP and what explains their (lack of) support? Thanks to a novel yet costly sampling method, I surveyed racial/ethnic minority and majority voters in France, Germany and the Netherlands and asked them about their propensity to vote for Rassemblement National (RN) in France, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany, and Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV) in the Netherlands. I compare racial/ethnic minority groups, including Muslims, with majority groups and test the mechanisms that might predict their support for PRRPs. I find that Muslims are among the least likely to vote for PRRPs, though the difference with voters without a migration background is only significant in the Netherlands. I also find that when testing what explains the propensity to vote for PRRPs, indicators of in-group favouritism usually explain support to larger extent than out-group hate. Though anti-immigration attitudes predict PRRP voting in all three countries, in-group favouritism explanations explain PRRP voting to a slightly stronger extent. In France and Germany, the ethnocentrism scale predicts voting for RN/AfD more than immigration attitudes do. In the Netherlands, feeling accepted as belonging in the Netherlands explains voting for the PVV the most. Amongst Muslim French, German and Dutch voters, in-group favouritism, or the lack thereof, explains voting for PRRPs as well. French Muslims who feel more attached to France are more likely to vote for RN. German Muslims who do not believe in religious freedom for Muslims are more likely to vote for AfD. This also applies to Dutch Muslims, though immigration attitudes also predict voting for the PVV: the more a Dutch Muslim is against immigration, the more likely they are to vote PVV. This study makes a case for expanding the standard predictors of PRRP voting towards more indicators of in-group favouritism for the majority in-group, while for Muslims PRRP voting is more driven by policy attitudes. Feeling close or distant towards ethnic in- or out-groups does not predict PRRP voting in any of the cases. These findings contribute to our understanding of minority and PRRP voting in Europe. Keywords: Populism, Muslims, race, ethnicity, voting behaviour, France, Germany, Netherlands, RN, AfD, PVV.
Airfoil Design Using Genetic Algorithms
Authors: Marzouk Osama Ahmed
Published: January 2025

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a search method used in finding true or approximate solutions to optimization and search problems. They have been applied in different fields like computer science, engineering, and economics. Here, we apply GA to the problem of designing a symmetric airfoil with high lift coefficient. Each population member, or chromosome, is an array representing the geometry of the airfoil. The optimization technique is applied to an initial population of airfoils having the geometry of NACA 4-digit series with different thickness ratios. Different GA operators are used including reproduction, binary encoding, crossover, and decoding. The flow field around the airfoil is solved using the finite difference method. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and the GA technique are combined together and yielded an optimal airfoil under certain optimization parameters. Different issues that arise from this process are discussed, like the necessity to add constraints to avoid unacceptable airfoil shapes.
Ideas on a Model of Economic Growth for the UK: An Integrated Framework
Authors: Adamou Marios
Published: January 2025

Economic growth theories have provided significant insights into the mechanisms driving development, yet single-idea models often fall short in addressing the complexities of modern economies. The Solow Growth Model, endogenous growth frameworks, and structural change theories each focus on specific drivers of growth but lack a comprehensive perspective. This paper proposes an integrated overarching model that combines elements from these frameworks, including capital accumulation, human capital, technological progress, structural transformation, institutional quality, and globalisation. By addressing the limitations in existing theories, this model is tailored to the UK’s economic challenges and highlights actionable strategies for fostering innovation, reforming education, enhancing trade, strengthening governance, and building resilience to shocks. This holistic framework aims to guide the UK toward achieving sustainable and inclusive growth in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
A Proposal to Create a Single Global Cap-and-Trade Scheme to Ensure a Ceiling on Gross CO2 Emissions below a Pre-set Allowable Carbon Budget
Authors: Matsuo Naoki
Published: January 2025

It is time for faithful and trustworthy world leaders to lead in establishing a “Global Cap-and-Trade regulatory framework” to change our course promptly. This framework aims to establish an institutional mechanism that ensures steadily decreasing global emission limits. The Scheme regulates upstream entities that import or produce fossil fuels, with the initiation of countries that share the objective and choose to participate voluntarily, and guides us toward a global carbon-neutral economy. In addition, the Scheme can enable a major global paradigm shift not only for climate issue but also for financing SDGs, and addressing fossil fuel resource concerns, notably: (a) a global emissions cap trajectory setting based on the pre-agreed remaining gross carbon budget to be decided by the CMA of the Paris Agreement; (b) initiated by a highly conscious club of countries and building in incentives for other countries to participate; (c) a fully auctioning upstream-type regulatory scheme with a single market of international allowance as a new energy commodity [for supply-side of fossil fuels]; (d) a uniform—theoretically ideal—international carbon pricing scheme to realise the minimum cost (and no need for the border adjustment), as an external common factor, while it respects national sovereignty [for demand-side of energy]; (e) becoming an economic framework with no need for awareness of CO2 ceiling explicitly [for demand-side of energy]; (f) generation of a trillion-dollar auctioning proceeds stream—equivalent to an agreed amount of total financial transfer at the COP29—for financing SDGs and regressive mitigation for low-income people, and incentivising developing countries for participation; (g) together with a carbon crediting scheme enabling fossil fuel production without limitation by carbon capture and storage (CCS) [for supply-side of fossil fuels]; and (h) enhanced fossil fuels predictability for production investment [supply-side] and effective utilisation [demand-side] under clear rules with a price stabilisation effect. We look forward to the strong will of current world leaders for future generations.
Spatiotemporal Forecasting of Electric Vehicle Charging Patterns: A Research Overview
Authors: Zhang Weixia
Published: January 2025

In alignment with national goals for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmentally friendly, low-carbon, energy-efficient, and sustainable attributes. EVs possess dual characteristics as both loads and energy storage systems, with their charging and discharging behaviors exhibiting randomness and spatiotemporal fluctuations. Accurately predicting the spatiotemporal distribution of EV charging and discharging loads is essential for understanding their impact on power grid integration, grid planning and operation, and interactions with the grid. This study analyzes the key factors influencing the prediction of EV charging load distribution and systematically describes modeling approaches and prediction methods for spatial and temporal load distributions. Furthermore, considering EVs as mobile energy storage devices capable of participating in grid interactions, the potential for discharging is evaluated, and research scenarios for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology are reviewed. Finally, the challenges associated with existing research methods are summarized and discussed, providing insights for future advancements in this field.
Reduced Temporal Organization of Narrative Recall in Adults with Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Clough Sharice , Evans Melissa J , Duff Melissa Collins , Brown-Schmidt Sarah
Published: January 2025

Narrative discourse impairments are well documented in individuals with moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Studies of narrative discourse (i.e., story generation or story retelling) in this population have frequently focused on impairment of semantic relations across utterances and the larger discourse context (e.g., cohesion, coherence, story grammar). Less attention has been given to the temporal organization of narrative retelling in TBI. We applied temporal contiguity analyses, a technique traditionally used to characterize temporal organization of free recall of wordlists, to quantify the temporal organization of participants’ story retellings with respect to the order in which the narrator originally presented the story details. We also conducted a parallel analysis of temporal contiguity of wordlist recall using data from the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning test. Both participants with moderate-severe TBI and non-injured peers demonstrated above chance temporal organization and a tendency to make short transitions in the forward direction when recalling items in both the narrative recall and wordlist recall task. However, these effects were significantly reduced in the TBI group. This suggests that overall, their free recall performance was less temporally ordered, and they were more likely to make larger jumps between story details (or words in the wordlist recall task) than their non-injured peers when recalling stories. Examining free recall at multiple timepoints revealed that while repetition (i.e., multiple presentations of the word list) increased temporal organization of recall, long delays (i.e., one week) decreased temporal organization for both the TBI and non-injured groups. We propose that reduced temporal organization of narrative recall in individuals with moderate-severe TBI is linked to impairments in the declarative relational memory system. In line with retrieved-context models of free recall, memory disruption not only impacts the total number of story details recalled, but also the ability to use temporal context to encode and retrieve items in a sequentially organized way.

Published: January 2025

La opacidad del concreto limita su uso en aplicaciones que requieren transparencia, como fachadas y elementos decorativos. En proyectos de edificaciones actuales, especialmente en edificios multifamiliares, surge la necesidad de soluciones innovadoras para mejorar la iluminación, ya que la luz natural solo entra por los frentes libres. Como alternativa a este problema, ha surgido el concreto translúcido, un material del que hay muy poca información disponible, incluso con patentes para su proceso de fabricación. En la presente investigación, se elaboró concreto simple utilizando una mezcla de arena de cuarzo y arena silícica como agregado fino. Además, se sustituyó el agregado grueso por cuarzo triturado en proporciones del 10%, 20% y 40%. Se fabricaron muestras cilíndricas y prismáticas para evaluar su influencia en propiedades físicas y mecánicas como la resistencia a la compresión y la transmitancia luminosa. Los resultados mostraron que la capacidad de absorción del cuarzo es menor a los agregados comunes y que el aumentar la proporción de agregado grueso de cuarzo reduce la resistencia mecánica a la compresión, pero al mismo tiempo incrementa la transmitancia luminosa

Analiza antroponimów pozwala także na odtworzenie schematów myślowych i wartości kulturowych XVII-wiecznych mieszkańców parafii Daleszyce, ukazując ich sposób postrzegania świata oraz indywidualne i emocjonalne podejście do nominowanych osób.
Starogreckie elementy leksykalne w języku rumuńskim
Authors: Borowy Anna
Published: January 2025

Artykuł dotyczy analizy najstarszych greckich elementów leksykalnych w języku rumuńskim, a dokładniej zapożyczeń greckich w łacinie bałkańskiej, które pozostawiły kontynuanty w języku rumuńskim. Zapożyczenia greckie do łaciny bałkańskiej stanowią odrębną grupę leksemów, ponieważ nie są kontynuowane w pozostałych językach romańskich. Analizie zostały poddane wyrazy zakwalifikowane przez rumuńskiego badacza Haralambie Mihăescu za zapożyczenia ustne z języka starogreckiego do łaciny. W artykule wykorzystano metodę historyczno-porównawczą. Analiza nie ogranicza się tylko do języka rumuńskiego, równie ważne w badaniu były bowiem pozostałe języki bałkanoromańskie, a także warianty regionalne języka włoskiego. Przedstawiona analiza wskazuje na to, że elementy greckie są mocno zakorzenione nie tylko w języku rumuńskim, lecz także w mowie osób zamieszkujących obszar językowy, gdzie używano łaciny bałkańskiej.
Rewizja w badaniach historycznojęzykowych – inspiracje i możliwości
Authors: Klimek-Grądzka Jolanta
Published: January 2025

W artykule omówione zostały dokonywane współcześnie przez historyków języka polskiego rewizje poglądów i tekstów, motywacje ich podjęcia, dalsze możliwości w tym zakresie, a także najczęstsze ograniczenia. Przegląd literatury przedmiotu ujawnia, że choć powszechnie dostrzegalna jest konieczność rewizji, badania wprost ukierunkowane na nią są stosunkowo rzadkie. Tymczasem rewizję należy traktować nie tylko jako pretekst do zmiany utrwalonych przekonań, ale także szansę ponownego spojrzenia na ten sam obiekt badań w celu wydobycia z niego nowych, niedostrzegalnych wcześniej, danych. Tak szeroko ujęta rewizja przynosi wymierne korzyści nie tylko samym historykom języka, ale i przedstawicielom dyscyplin pokrewnych, gdyż jej efektem może być m.in. zmiana datacji zabytków piśmiennictwa, zmiana chronologizacji słownictwa, zmiana lekcji tekstu, nowa geneza tekstu, nowa relacja pomiędzy redakcjami tekstu, wreszcie – poszerzenie stanu wiedzy. To przemawia za tym, by w rewizji widzieć czasem konieczność, czasem przywilej i szansę, nigdy zaś zagrożenie dla zastanych metod i teorii naukowych.
Gmerk – znak własnościowy czy tożsamości mieszczan? O pewnych niekonsekwencjach polskiej terminologii heraldycznej
Authors: Starzyński Marcin
Published: January 2025

Autor niniejszego studium postanowił prześledzić, jak w polskiej historiografii definiowano dotąd znaki, którymi posługiwali się mieszkańcy miast. Na przykładzie stołecznego Krakowa pokazał zaś, że podobnie jak w ośrodkach pruskich niejako równolegle posługiwali się oni zarówno gmerkami (a więc kreskowymi znakami identyfikacyjnymi), jak i herbami mieszczańskimi (zbudowanymi z godła i tarczy, gdzie w funkcji godła występowały figury heraldyczne sensu stricto, ale i znaki kreskowe). Zakreślony w ten sposób podział pozwala na przydanie statusu herbu jako takiego kompozycji złożonej właśnie z gmerku i tarczy. Autor potwierdził ponadto, że przejęcie przez mieszczan tego wzorca graficznego (godło + tarcza) było efektem oddziaływania i obserwowania przez nich pewnych wytworów kultury rycerskiej. Zresztą i jedne (herby rycerskie), i drugie (herby mieszczańskie) w pierwszej kolejności miały identyfikować. W przypadku herbów szlacheckich, przynajmniej na gruncie polskim, stały się one wizualnym desygnatem przynależności do stanu w sposób szczególny uprzywilejowanego. Mówiły więc, niejako za właścicieli, o ich statusie prawnym. I choć niewątpliwie były używane także w środowisku mieszczan (jako efekt pewnego naśladownictwa), to jednak nie powielały wszystkich funkcji herbu szlacheckiego, w tym przede wszystkim nie budowały mieszczańskiej (stanowej) tożsamości.

An Observation on Provision and Consideration of Seating in the Superregional Shopping Complexes in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Authors: Dalila Nazihah
Published: January 2025

Increasing numbers of shopping complex development in Malaysia, especially in Kuala Lumpur were obviously seen for the past 10 years. Big shopping complexes seem to attract lots of visitors due to their commercial variations and outlook images. The bigger the shopping complex, the longer time-spend at the shopping complexes. Conveniences to shop and rest were major factors in influencing the mood to shop, to enjoy leisure activities or just window shopping. As shopping complexes becoming most frequently visited places in urban area, comfort has become an important issue. Comfort on seating facilities has become an issue to shoppers, at regional size shopping complexes. Investigation on seating provision requires further research to ensure shoppers are comfortable and will attract to visit the shopping complex frequently. Thus, the paper presents a finding on the observation of seating provision and the consideration of seating aspects in superregional shopping complexes in Kuala Lumpur. The consideration of few aspects of seating such as type, arrangement, location, material and number of seating has been identified. The research found that the aspects of seating at three selected shopping complexes do satisfy the users. However, total number of seating at Suria KLCC is inadequate as compared to One Utama Shopping Center and Mid Valley Megamall since it has the highest number of visitors per year. Based on the findings also, seating is in need due to the activities done in shopping complexes which is related to the usersâ€™ duration of stay. Consideration on the provision of seating seems to have positive feedback by the usersâ€™ thus it enhances the business and benefited the shopping complexes management.
Application of Sharia Principles in Planning and Designing Pondok Pesantren in Indonesia: Case Study: Pondok Pesantren Al Fath Maâ€™had in Palembang, South Sumatera
Authors: Doni Fireza
Published: January 2025

Pondok Pesantren (Islamic Boarding School) as one of the educational institutions in Indonesia, which emphasizes on Islamic religious education, have had different and specific approach in the planning and designing of its facilities, compared with the process of planning and designing the school in general. Although there is no specific design typology of the pondok pesantrenâ€™s buildings and facilities, the planning, designing and development process of its contains a special approaches using the Sharia principles derived from the Islamic jurisprudence known as Fiqh. The acculturation of pesantren educational organizations and formal educational organizations such as public school, along with the architect's involvement in the pondok pesantrenâ€™s development process in modern times can potentially obscure the Islamic values in the life of pondok pesantren, where the principles and values of sharia should be the main characteristics of pondok pesantren itself. This paper studied the principles of Sharia and its application in the process of planning, designing and construction of a sharâ€™i pondok pesantren in Indonesia, through a case study of Pondok Pesantren Al Fath Maâ€™had in Palembang. Islamic Sharia principles in the development of pondok pesantren are gained through the study of literature and the books of Fiqh as well as interviews with experts of Islamic law. Application of Sharia principles in the planning and designing of the pondok pesantren covers ranging from the determination of the legal status of the site; mosque planning, laws and conditions attached to the mosque; zoning activities as well as planning and designing of buildings and supporting facilities; dormitory planning; rules of interior design related to pesantrenâ€™s style teaching-learning activities; until the affairs of Waqf of the residential buildings of Kyai (school headmaster) or teachers.
HAMKA’s Interpretation on Interfaith Marriage: Its Relevance in Malaysia
Authors: Syarifah Zahrah binti Syed Khalid  , Mohd Noh Abdul Jalil
Published: January 2025

The paper seeks to examine the relevance of HAMKA’s discourse on interfaith marriage in the context of present Malaysia. Interfaith marriage is one of the contributing factors to the increment of apostasy rate in Malaysia. HAMKA or Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (1908-1981) based his views on the issue of interfaith marriage on the Quranic source of law, the opinions of four major schools of jurisprudence and his personal experiences. In general, HAMKA stands on the view that prohibits interfaith marriage which he emphasizes on the strength of faith. The significance of this study lies in exhibiting the implications of interfaith marriage deliberated by HAMKA in his Tafsīr al-Azhar – apostasy and unclear religious belief. From his interpretation, it could be used to generate insights among Muslims towards the implications of interfaith marriage. In this sense, he highlighted the negative effects of such marriage on the problem of faith. HAMKA’s explicit rejection of such marriages is grounded in faith, particularly regarding the religious status of the child following the parents’ divorce and the implications for child custody. In deriving such discussions, the study embarks on qualitative research that utilizes primary and secondary sources. Descriptive and critical analysis are the main methods for analyzing the data collected and implemented across the study.
Investigation the potential use of black rice flour and black chickpea flour in gluten-free cake
Authors: Runt Kütük Özge , Özgören Çapraz Ezgi
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to develop a new gluten-free cake formulation by investigating the use of black rice flour (BRF) and black chickpea flour (BCF), which have attracted attention with their color and composition in recent years, as an alternative to white rice flour (RF). The samples produced using RF:BRF, RF:BCF and BRF:BCF in the cake formulation at 1:1 ratios were compared to the control sample which was produced entirely with RF. It was observed that the addition of BRF resulted in a darker color in the samples, while the inclusion of BCF significantly increased their protein and ash content. BRF and BCF were found to be rich in phenolic compounds. The total phenolic content was determined to be 70.05 mgGAE/100g in the control sample, while it was found to be 114.05 mgGAE/100g, 96.18 mgGAE/100g and 147.63 mgGAE/100g in the RF:BRF, RF:BCF and BRF:BCF samples, respectively. Antioxidant activity of the RF:BRF sample was 2.2-times higher, RF:BCF sample was 1.4-times higher and BRF:BCF sample was 3.0-times higher than control sample. Additionally, it was found that the addition of both BRF and BCF increased the mineral matter content of the cake samples.

Food neophobia is a reluctance or aversion to consuming new or unfamiliar foods, accompanied by a tendency to experience anxiety and disgust towards unconventional foods. This study aims to identify food neophobia among nutrition and dietetics students and evaluate its relationship with nutritional status. Participants' nutritional status was assessed, and the Food Neophobia Scale (T-FNS) was employed. A statistically significant and positive relationship was found between B3 vitamin intake and Food Neophobia Scale scores (p<0.05). There was a negative relationship between K vitamin intake and Food Neophobia Scale scores (p<0.001). Omega-6 fatty acid (p=0.035), K vitamin (p<0.001), and B3 vitamin (p=0.001) intake values showed significant differences in at least one of the T-FNS groups compared to at least one other group. In pairwise comparisons, a significant difference was observed in omega-6 fatty acid intake between neophilic and neophobic groups (p<0.05), with higher omega-6 fatty acid intake in the neophilic group compared to the neophobic group. While K vitamin intake was significantly lower in the neophobic group compared to the neophilic and neutral groups, B3 vitamin intake was significantly higher in the neophobic group compared to the neophilic and neutral groups (p<0.05). In this study, determining nutrition and dietetics undergraduate students' eating habits and food neophobia is important for developing tailored recommendations specific to their situation.

O Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (ENADE) é uma iniciativa do Ministério da Educação do Brasil (MEC), por meio do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP) que fomenta a avaliação do nível de aprendizagem dos concluintes de cursos superiores e uma análise das competências e habilidades adquiridas no decorrer da graduação. Nesse contexto, as desigualdades sociais surtem efeitos agravantes na formação dos estudantes, pois, geralmente, as abordagens pedagógicas feitas pelos docentes nos cursos de graduação, especialmente na área das Ciências da Natureza, não alcançam o nível de aprendizagem do grupo, mas, sim, um quantitativo mínimo de alunos, contribuindo com o baixo rendimento na nota final. Consoante a isso, a presente pesquisa foi elaborada pelo Programa de Educação Tutorial - PET Química, do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba — IFPB, Campus João Pessoa, contendo a intenção de analisar a preparação dos estudantes, o suporte oferecido pela Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) aos graduandos, como também apurar e discutir a expectativa dos mesmos com relação ao exame no período anterior a prova. As metodologias empregadas neste trabalho foram de natureza qualitativa e participante. A pesquisa aconteceu em um único momento, no qual foi criado um Questionário Informativo (QI) por intermédio do Google Forms, que tinha como público alvo os discentes aptos a participar da avaliação. O QI obteve 11 (onze) respostas dos concluintes e foi constituído por 8 (oito) indagações no que cerne ao exame. As perguntas do questionário tinham como intuito compreender qual o suporte oferecido na IES durante a preparação para a prova do ENADE, principais apontamentos ao método utilizado e também as expectativas dos discentes ao exame. Diante dos resultados obtidos, foi possível observar que os participantes carecem do suporte conteudista e emocional de toda comunidade acadêmica para garantir um bom desempenho no exame.

Individuals who have experienced upper-limb loss often face significant challenges in regaining functional independence. The absence of a fully functional limb impairs their ability to perform daily tasks, diminishing both their physical capability and overall quality of life. According to global estimates, approximately 20 million people live with upper-limb loss related to traumatic events [1]. Functional prosthetic devices currently available in the market are prohibitively ex-pensive, and lack utility outside of basic grasping actions. This presents a considerable demand for affordable prosthetic solutions that are capable of restoring lost hand function. With this in mind, a research group from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Moratuwa have developed an upper-limb prosthetic device capable of adaptive grasping, employing a novel mechanism to improve dexterity. The device thus developed, named the Dexios Hand, is a prototype electric hand prosthesis with motorised actuation, which is a more user-friendly alternative to body-powered and cosmetic prostheses. The key characteristics of this functional prosthetic hand are its dexterity and shape-adaptive grasping ability. Dexterity refers to the prosthetic hand’s ability to perform skilful movements, while shape-adaptive grasping allows the prosthetic hand to conform to the contours of various objects for a more secure grip. These features are favoured for restoring natural hand functionality in prosthetics since they widen the range of grasps that the device is capable of.

Authors: Insiya Bashirotul
Published: January 2025

Ganjar Pranowo is one of the political figures with a fairly high electability rate. However, when he appeared as a model in the MNC Group television station's call to prayer broadcast, it became a polemic in society, thus reducing his electability. Young people in the general election became the largest voter for the upcoming 2024 election, compared to older people. The purpose of this study was to see the meaning of young people towards the image of Ganjar Pranowo in the MNC Group call to prayer broadcast. The textual analysis method uses the concept of the codes of television, while the meaning analysis method uses the Stuart Hall encoding decoding concept. The dominant meaning of this call to prayer broadcast depicts the figure of Ganjar Pranowo who is religious and there is no campaign element in it. This study reveals the diversity of meanings of young audiences. Ganjar Pranowo's image was well received before this call to prayer broadcast. Some of them began to decline seeing Ganjar Pranowo's image after the call to prayer broadcast. Where there are two informants in the dominant hegemonic position and two others in the opposition position. Apart from gender perspective, diversity of meanings also occurs due to understanding of political values and insights.
