The land conversion of the Malang Agricultural Academy Campus into Ijen Nirwana housing is a reflection of land use change that occurs in urban areas. The event caused various environmental and social problems such as the loss of flora and fauna, the phenomenon of prolonged flooding, and the unrest that occurred in the community of Malang City. This paper attempts to narrate the history of land use change and various environmental movements that have occurred in Malang City in order to increase public awareness of the importance of Green Open Space (RTH) as a counterweight to urbanization. The author uses the historical method which includes topic selection, heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography through various interviews and document analysis using a political environmental history perspective. The author found that changes in spatial policies, weak laws, and economic interests were the main factors in the decision to change the land function of APP Malang Campus. This phenomenon caused various responses among the people of Malang City at that time, various rejections were made but could not fully defend the Malang City Agricultural Extension Academy Campus land. This kind of intersection between capitalism and environmental interests often occurs even after the New Order era.

This research is a translation study that examines the process of cultural transfer. It focuses on translation works that preserve the cultural identity of the source text within the target text. To address this issue, the study draws on theories from Baker and Newmark regarding translation strategies and equivalence, Ahimsa-Putra’s cultural categorization, and Venuti’s concepts of resistance in translation. The primary material for this research is the English novel “Twilight in Djakarta,” which is translated from the source text “Senja di Jakarta.” These primary sources yield data in the form of words and phrases that reflect Jakarta's cultural translation and terminology through documentation. To achieve accurate results, the study employs identity and descriptive-qualitative methods to illustrate the translator’s strategies for conveying the source language culture while maintaining its cultural content. The findings reveal that resistance to cultural terms manifests through loanwords, mixed strategies, and word-for-word translations. This approach not only preserves but also enriches the cultural meanings in the target text. Additionally, this research aims to contribute to the preservation and promotion of Indonesian culture in a global context by retaining cultural terms during translation. Ultimately, it suggests that readers of the target text can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the cultural context of the source text.

Sexual violence is one of the most talked about cases in society, especially in Indonesia. Many victims are reluctant to report cases of sexual violence due to a lack of evidence or psychological barriers arising from fear, shame, and public ridicule. Because of the rampant cases of sexual violence, several artists were moved to carry out a campaign to prevent sexual violence by making an educational poster. The purpose of this research is to analyze the semiotic signs and meanings in the sexual violence prevention posters more profoundly and to deepen the responses from the responders regarding the posters that have been uploaded. This research uses descriptive and qualitative research design. The data used in this research is from a sample of 13 posters from 9 posts on Instagram. The results and discussion in this study found that icons in this study contain figurative meanings and use many female icons. Meanwhile, symbols in this study are in the form of descriptive information. The index in this study describes many negative images representing the victim's condition. Interpretants in this study found responders' comments that approved the poster information. This research implies that it is suitable to be a reference for linguistic and visual communication research.

This study examined the network-based (online) distribution system of vanity publisher B-STARS Publisher (BSP), analyzed through the lens of Robert Escarpit's theory using a literary sociology research approach. Two main aspects, publication activities and distribution circuits, were encompassed in the analysis of the publisher's distribution system. The result of the analysis unveiled that BSP carried out work publication activities through Instagram social media after all the processes ended, ranging from selection, acceptance, and completion of the script. Furthermore, BSPs were categorized as popular circuits according to their distribution circuits. This category was based on five findings, namely (1) social media optimization as a distribution medium, (2) the non-limiting selection process, (3) the popularity of the manuscript primarily stems from widely recognized works on the Wattpad platform, (4) the characteristics of entertainment publishing works, not for intellectual purposes, and the publication is limitless, and (5) the economic or commodity side that sells BSP works predominantly in the genre of teen fiction (romance).

COVID-19 pandemic had forced state leaders to take various actions, one of which was through communicating the pandemic measures. In Indonesian context, the difficult times of the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic had also challenged President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to communicate his response to handling the pandemic differently from communication prior to the pandemic. Jokowi tried to gain compliance and support which could be identified from the linguistic features in his speeches of pandemic handling. This study discusses linguistic features in Jokowi's COVID-19 speech. Voyant-tool was used as a tool for identifying the most salient linguistic units. Analysis was carried out to determine patterns of lexical choices, to examine how these patterns helped construct the pandemic discursively. and to relate it to Jokowi's pandemic communication goals. Results reveal that first person singular I and first-person plural WE/ US were the most salient features. Second, the choice of structure and lexicon specifically indicated a strategy of inclusivity and the creation of a clear group identity. Inclusive WE functioned as linguistic strategy to build collective identity, sense of solidarity and unity of Indonesian, as well as indicating choice of acting as an interlocutor to equalize social actors. Exclusive WE/ US also emphasized identity, speaker involvement actions, personal pronoun I was persuasion device and marker of interpersonal relationship and positioning as the highest authority, while temporal deixis was employed to urge the sense of urgency.

Machine translation has become an everyday part of society's news consumption patterns. Unfortunately, important news content is poorly mediated by social media, especially on the output of the translation system feature on the site. Therefore, further research is needed on the evaluation of the auto-translate system on social media. This study focuses on the results of linguistic evaluation on the output of social media machine translation in translating news headlines. The data were taken from news coverage by the Reuters channel in the period of September 1st–7th, 2023 and from social media such as Facebook and Twitter. The translation evaluation used linguistic elements consisting of orthography, morphology, lexical, semantic, and syntax. This study found various kinds of linguistic non-equivalence. Orthographic non-equivalence includes punctuation, capitalization, and apostrophes. Morphological non-equivalence in the two systems was found in number concordance, inflection, derivation, and compounding. Lexical errors occur in both systems in the form of no correspondence and missing target words, as well as untranslated words and proper noun. In terms of semantics, both systems had difficulties with polysemy, homonymy, and expression. Finally, syntactic errors occur with missing articles, prepositions, and inappropriate arrangements of syntactic elements.

The problem of excessive consumption and consumer egoism is pervasive in many markets. This phenomenon not only has a negative impact on the environment, but also causes social problems and the economic integrity of society. The culture of consumerism and technology influences consumption behavior, encouraging excessive purchasing and irrational consumption decisions. This research discusses consumption actions carried out by informants which are based on reducing waste and supporting local products. The method used in this research was interviews with 4 informants in Yogyakarta who live a sustainable lifestyle. The aim of this research is to provide a more specific understanding that consumption is not just an economic act, but is a complex social and cultural phenomenon that can provide a deeper picture of humans and their environment. This research aims to understand how consumers consume goods and services to create a positive impact on the environment and economy. By examining the role of technology in driving consumption, it is possible to identify areas where consumers can improve their needs and satisfaction. The research results showed that ethical consumption behavior was carried out by the informants unconsciously. This article highlights the role of individuals in influencing consumption habits and encouraging change towards more responsible consumption.

This study aims to describe the characterizations in the “Bas les masques” and “Délivrance” short stories based on the transitivity process and describe the characterization techniques used in the “Bas les masques” and “Délivrance” short stories. This research uses a descriptive approach with a qualitative method. The data are the clauses explaining characterizations in the short stories “Bas les masques” by Benoît Broyart and “Délivrance” by Jean-Paul Nozière. The data collection of this research is carried out by scrutinizing and note-taking techniques. The data are analyzed using the transitivity theory in Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics and Nurgiyantoro’s character depiction theory. The results of this study indicate that the characterization in these two stories are dominantly described by material process, i.e. 8 clauses (35%) in the “Bas les masques” short story and 9 clauses (39%) in the “Délivrance” short story. The processes that are not found are behavioral process because the characters’ behavior cannot be explained from their own perspective. Regarding the character depiction techniques, the two short stories both use conversation techniques and other character’s reaction techniques. Apart from that, there is also the stream of consciousness technique which is only used in “Bas les masques” short story and the character reaction technique which is only used in “Délivrance” short story. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that transitivity analysis can support the study of characterization in literary works because the character's personality can be represented through their experiences in the story.

This study examines how self-taught online graphic designers in Kaliabu Village, Salaman District, Magelang Regency, Central Java, navigate the challenges and dependencies arising from digital platforms, particularly 99designs. Using a case study and in-depth interviews, the research reveals that, while digital technology appears to open new opportunities and empower individuals, it often reinforces control and exploitation within the digital economy. Most Kaliabu designers, lacking formal technical or creative education, leverage 99designs to access the global market, relying on self-developed skills to compete. Despite utilizing their informal capital, they are constrained by the platform's stringent rules. Although 99designs offers broad economic access, it imposes terms that limit designers' autonomy and innovation. Dependence on the platform forces designers to constantly adapt to its policies and face intense competition. The crowdsourcing system of 99designs, where projects are awarded through open competitions, exacerbates these dynamics, pushing designers to compete for every job. In the digital capitalist context, their informal capital often fails to overcome the platform's control and exploitation. This study highlights that while Kaliabu's self-taught designers can compete globally, they must navigate the balance between the freedom and control offered by digital technology. Digital technology enables participation in the digital industry but also presents challenges of control and exploitation that need addressing.
