Linguistic Technopreneurship in Business Success Digitalization for Small Medium Enterprises in West Java: Implication for Language Education

The increase in borderless digital-based business competition shows how language education is impacted by neoliberalism in this global era. We explore how linguistic technopreneurship (LT) roles is increasingly constructed as a form of linguistic entrepreneurship to exploit language-related resources to enhance one's socioeconomic value strategically. This research aims to critically examine the influence of LT toward business success digitalization for Small Medium Enterprises in West Java and it’s implication for Language Education. The research also focusing on the creation of novelty, namely linguistic technopreneurship (LT), which is a refinement of entrepreneurial linguistics (EL). LT is expected to be able to explain how linguistic entrepreneurship can be indexed from two different aspects, namely how to package language education and digital business success. We then discuss under what conditions the notion of linguistic technopreneurship can be applied to digital platform-based business settings and what kind of contradictions this gives rise to. The method used is quantitative, and it involves carrying out SEM analysis. A non-probability sampling technique was used to obtain a minimum of 250 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Industry owners who run their businesses through digital platforms in West Java province, which is the province with the most significant number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Industries in Indonesia. The research results show that LT significantly influences the success of business success and impact the language education practice. It can be concluded that language education is an added value for a person and influences socioeconomic success.

The Role of Village Government in the Orderly Land Administration in Dayeuhluhur Village, Tempuran District, Karawang Regency as an Implementation of Agrarian Reform

Order of village land is the process of managing and regulating land at the village government level. According to Law Number 6 Year 2014, villages are authorized to manage local governance matters, including those related to land issues. This research aims to understand the implementation of land administration systems in Dayeuhluhur Village, Tempuran Subdistrict, Karawang Regency, West Java Province. The method used is juridical-empirical, incorporating interviews and direct observations in Dayeuhluhur Village, along with data analysis from literature as supporting evidence. Data collected is qualitatively analyzed to explain findings derived from observations and journal records. Data was gathered from primary sources such as interviews and observations, as well as secondary sources like documents. The study's findings indicate that the land administration system in Dayeuhluhur Village functions effectively. However, it also reveals that the role of the Dayeuhluhur Village government in land administration is not yet ideal due to several reasons, including weaknesses in human resources, lack of coordination with relevant agencies, deficiencies in village land administration systems and procedures, and inadequate community awareness of the importance of orderly land administration. Therefore, due to these inhibiting factors, the village government is less effective in ensuring orderly land administration, both internally and externally. By addressing these barriers, it is hoped that the village government's role in ensuring orderly land administration can be maximized to benefit the community and the village as a whole.

Developing Sustainable Muslim-Friendly Tourism Village Model Through Digital Tourism: Perspective of Shari’ah Economy

Using digital technology and social media is important in advancing sustainable tourism and expanding its appeal internationally. In this regard, the digitalization program for tourist villages needs to be encouraged because it has significant prospects in increasing the number of visitors while supporting the sustainability of tourism. This study aims to discuss the development of a sustainable tourist village model through a digital tourism approach carried out in the Provinces of West Java, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and Lampung from an Islamic economic perspective. Data were obtained through observation and questionnaire methods from primary and secondary sources. The collected data were then processed and analyzed using triangulation and SWOT techniques. The study results show that the three provinces above have good internet access, making it possible to promote tourism potential through digital platforms. In terms of opportunities, adopting the digital tourism concept can open up great potential in increasing tourist engagement and market expansion. On the other hand, the lack of information and limited Human Resources must be addressed because they can hinder marketing potential and operational effectiveness. In addition, tight competition with other tourist areas must be anticipated because it can reduce investment interest and tourist visits. The sustainable tourism village model development through an environmentally friendly tourism approach has a strong foundation from a shari’ah perspective because it is supported by the Qur’an, Hadith, and the fatwa of the DSN MUI.

Epistemology Of Legal Studies: Research Method Characteristics of Theoretical Law Bearers in Indonesia

Doctorate students of legal studies programs in Indonesia use various research methods. This paper aims to analyze research methods patterns used by doctorate students of legal studies in six Indonesian universities. The authors analyzed dissertations from the Doctorate Program of Legal Studies in the following universities: Universitas Indonesia (Depok, West Java), Universitas Padjajaran (Bandung, West Java Province), Universitas Sumatera Utara (Medan, North Sumatra Province), Universitas Airlangga (Surabaya, East Java Province), Universitas Diponegoro (Semarang, Central Java Province), and Universitas Hasanuddin (Makassar, South Sulawesi Province). This philosophical method research used secondary data obtained using the literature review method in the form of dissertations from six universities that establish legal studies doctorate programs. Results showed that there are three patterns of epistemology used by doctorate program students of legal studies in Indonesia, namely those that are based on the doctrinal approach, those based on the non-doctrinal approach, and those based on the combined approach between the doctrinal and the non-doctrinal approaches. In this research, some dissertations with the epistemological pattern were also found that are is based on theoretical assumptions sourced from the teachings of the positivistic legal philosophy school of thought as taught by Austin and Kelsen.

Pemodelan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Kejadian HIV/AIDS di Provinsi Jawa Barat

Indonesia is focusing on preparing for Indonesia’s Golden 2045 through the Golden Generation. The Golden Generation is expected to be the country's quality and superior human resource. The province of West Java, with the largest population in Indonesia, plays an important role in realizing Indonesia's Golden 2045 ambition. However, the high HIV/AIDS incidence in West Java is a major challenge that could potentially hinder Indonesia’s achievement of the 2045 Gold Plan. The Ministry of Health has launched the Three Zero HIV/AIDS concept to meet one of Indonesia's Golden 2045 pillars. Based on this, the study aims to identify factors that influence the number of HIV/AIDS cases in West Java. The HIV/AIDS case is a data count, so the approach used in this study is Poisson Regression. The results of the study showed that the number of cases of violence (X1), the percentage of use of condom contraceptives among members of the Family Planning (KB) program (X2), population density (X3), the proportion of poor population (X4), and number of health facilities per 100,000 inhabitants (X5) were related to cases of HIV/AIDS in the West Java Province. It is seen from the p-value of each variable X is 0.0 except the population density is worth 0.003. Having identified significant factors influencing cases of HIV/AIDS in West Java, the government is expected to enhance cooperation with relevant agencies in reducing the risk of the number of cases in Western Java. Thus, Three Zero in West Java can be achieved by 2030.

Switching intention of conventional bank customers to Sharia bank based on push-pull-mooring theory

PurposeThis study aims to see the variables of customer satisfaction level, attractiveness of alternatives, subjective norms and level of religiosity of conventional bank customers in West Java and their effect on switching intentions.Design/methodology/approachA causality description technique with a quantitative approach is used in this research. The analytical technique used is partial least square-structural equation modeling with a sample of 320 respondents from conventional bank customers in West Java.FindingsThe results revealed that the level of customer satisfaction and subjective norms were in the medium category, whereas the level of alternative attractiveness, religiosity and switching intentions was in high level. The level of customer satisfaction harms switching intentions, whereas the level of alternative attractiveness and religiosity variables have a positive effect on switching intentions. In contrast, the subjective norm variable does not affect switching intentions. Therefore, customer satisfaction, the attractiveness of alternatives and religiosity are essential points to cause someone to have the intention to switch.Practical implicationsFor stakeholders, especially the government or the Islamic banking industry, to improve the climate of the Islamic finance industry in Indonesia, in particular, to increase knowledge and insight from the public regarding the intention to switch conventional bank customers to Islamic banks.Originality/valueThe use of the religiosity variable as an independent variable on switching intentions is still rarely done. Hence, the authors combine this variable with customer satisfaction, alternative attractiveness and subjective norms. The update in this study also places conventional bank customers included in the millennial generation and generation Z categories who live in the province of West Java as research subjects.

KAJIAN TENTANG KARAKTERISTIK KELUARGA DAN POLA PEMBERIAN MPASI DAN HUBUNGANNYA DENGAN STATUS GIZI ANAK BALITA

The introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods is positively associated with nutritional status and reduces the likelihood of stunting. The results of the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey in 2022 showed that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia still reached 21.6%. West Java Province has a stunting prevalence of 20.2%, while in Bogor City it is still 19.3%. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between family characteristics, complementary feeding patterns and the nutritional status of toddlers. The research design used a mix method (quantitative and qualitative). Quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach and qualitative research with indepth interviews (exploring complementary feeding patterns, problems, handling and educational needs related to complementary feeding). The qualitative exploration result were analyzed using deductive thematic. The study population was all toddlers aged 12-60 months in Bogor City, the sample size was 120 with purposive sampling. Statistical tests used chi-square test and Mann-whitney test. The results showed a significant relationship between family characteristics and patterns of complementary feeding with the children’s nutritional status under five. The results of qualitative exploration showed there were four themes, namely First, social and cultural and adverse beliefs. Second, lack of knowledge, Third, the environment (home and residence) is less supportive. Fourth, poor economy. The research concluded that there was a relationship between family characteristics and patterns of complementary feeding with the nutritional status of children under five. Efforts are needed to overcome the problem of stunting through education about complementary feeding.

Past and future land use change dynamics: assessing the impact of urban development on agricultural land in the Pantura Jabar region, Indonesia.

The conversion of large-scale agricultural land into urban areas poses a significant challenge to achieving national and global food security targets, as outlined in Sustainable Development Goal number 2, which aims to eradicate hunger. Indonesia has experienced a significant decline in rice field areas, with a reduction of approximately 650 thousand hectares within a year (2017-2018), the largest being in Java. Hence, this study aims to examine the impact of urban expansion on agricultural land in the north coast region of West Java Province from 2013 to 2020 and develop a predictive model for 2030 to support sustainable land use planning. The primary methods employed were random forest (RF) analysis using Google Earth Engine, intensity analysis, multilayer perceptron-neural network (MLP-NN), Markov chains-cellular automata (Markov-CA), and stakeholder interviews. The model also evaluated the influence of "distance to tollgates" as a previously unexplored driving factor in existing land use modeling studies. Landsat image classification results using the RF algorithm showed 87-88% accuracy. Cropland has historically been and is projected to remain the primary target for the expansion of built-up areas. Spatial planning irregularities were found in the growth of these areas that adversely affected farmers' socioeconomic and environmental conditions. Evaluation of land use models using MLP-NN and Markov-CA demonstrated an accuracy rate of 86.29-86.23%. The distance to tollgates factor significantly impacts the models, albeit less than population density. The 2030 intervention scenario, which implements a firm policy for sustainable agricultural land use, offers the potential to maintain the predicted cropland loss compared to business as usual.

Pre-Service Chemistry Teachers’ Preconceptions about Rare Earth Coordination Chemistry: Results from an Explorative Interview Study

This research aims to identify students' preconceptions about rare earth coordination chemistry. The method used in this research is exploratory interviews. This research involved 25 pre-service chemistry teacher at a university in West Java Province, Indonesia. The collected data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The research results showed that 60% of students were able to identify electronic waste as a source of valuable metals, but others did not know that there were rare earth metals contained in it. As many as 32% know ionic liquids as environmentally friendly solvents, but the majority of students do not understand the physicochemical properties of ionic liquids and the interactions between ionic liquids and rare earth metals. As many as 8% of students were able to explain the reaction to form rare earth metal coordination compounds correctly, while only 4% were able to explain the concept of luminescence in these compounds. These findings indicate the need for coordination chemistry course design that accommodates students' learning needs and links them to relevant environmental contexts to improve students' understanding and systems thinking skills.

A new species of Keratodegnathus Pace in Indonesia (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)

The genus Keratodegnathus Pace includes two species known to occur in Malaysia (Sabah and Pahang). A third species, Keratodegnathus javanicus sp. n. is described, based on a female specimen from Indonesia (West Java Province). As the morphology of Keratodegnathus was previously inadequately described, a detailed scanning electron microscopy examination was carried out to characterize the new species. Keratodegnathus mirabilis Pace, 2014 was transferred by Assing to Orphnebius Motschulsky, resulting in a secondary homonymy with Orphnebius mirabilis (Bernhauer, 1911). Orphnebius mirabilides nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for Orphnebius mirabilis (Pace).

Pengaruh Pengangguran Terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Di Jawa Barat: Periode Tahun 2002-2023

The unemployment situation in West Java remains a serious concern, particularly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, technological changes, and industrial restructuring. During the transition period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) in West Java Province decreased, indicating a potential relationship between unemployment rates and economic growth. This study aims to identify and analyze the effect of unemployment on economic growth in West Java using descriptive analysis and quantitative analysis with a multiple linear regression approach. Statistical analysis results show the regression equation Y = 6.170 – 0.088X1 – 0.771X2 + e. This means that if the variables unemployment (X1) and COVID (X2) are zero, economic growth (Y) remains constant at 6.170. Each 1% increase in unemployment reduces economic growth by 0.088%, while each 1% increase in COVID cases reduces economic growth by 0.771%. The F-test simultaneously, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicates that the percentage of unemployment and the COVID dummy variable significantly affect economic growth in West Java. With an F value of 0.05, the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, indicating that unemployment and COVID variables significantly influence economic growth.

The Influence of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) and Interest Rates on Investment in West Java Province

Economic growth is significant for every country, where economic growth indicates the success of a country's development. One of Indonesia's efforts to encourage economic growth is by growing the investment sector. Investment is a component that influences the level of aggregate expenditure and is one of the important and main factors in economic development which many economic experts have recognized, according to him there is no development without investment. This research intends to analyze the influence of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and interest rates on investment in West Java Province. The data used in this research is secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) during 2015-2022 in a time series format. The research method uses a quantitative approach. The data analysis technique was carried out using multiple linear regression in SPSS. The research results show that Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) has a positive and significant influence on investment in West Java Province. Meanwhile, interest rates do not affect investment in West Java Province.

POLICY AND LINGUISTIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE PROPOSED RENAMING OF WEST JAVA PROVINCE TO TATAR SUNDA

This legal study investigates the implications of the proposed renaming of West Java Province to Tatar Sunda Province, employing the approach of intuitive semantic dualism to address issues of language, territory, ethnicity, and national identity. The research draws on data from academic journals, books, media reports, and interviews, comparing secondary data with field opinions on the languages and bordering regions of the Sundanese dialect. The findings reveal that, although the Sundanese linguistic system was expected to play a crucial role in the renaming process and promote territorial unity, it falls short due to the inclusion of regions such as Banten, pre-independence Batavia, and bilingual border areas in the east and north. This geographic and linguistic complexity means that the name "Tatar Sunda" does not accurately reflect the distinct linguistic, cultural, and territorial identities of the Sundanese people as described by J. van Baal. Legally, while there are no barriers to the renaming policy, the proposed name fails to adequately represent the region's diverse identities. Consequently, the study recommends further exploration of more representative alternatives that align with the existing legal framework, ensuring that the name change is not only legally valid but also appropriately reflects the region's identity.

Analyzing Molecular Traits of H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus Isolated from a Same Poultry Farm in West Java Province, Indonesia, in 2017 and 2023

Background Indonesia is one of the countries that is endemic to avian influenza virus subtype H9N2. This study aims to compare the molecular characteristics of avian influenza virus (AIV) subtype H9N2 from West Java. Methods Specific pathogen-free (SPF) embryonated chicken eggs were used to inoculate samples. RNA extraction and RT–qPCR confirmed the presence of H9 and N2 genes in the samples. RT–PCR was employed to amplify the H9N2-positive sample. Nucleotide sequences were obtained through Sanger sequencing and analyzed using MEGA 7. Homology comparison and phylogenetic tree analysis, utilizing the neighbor-joining tree method, assessed the recent isolate’s similarity to reference isolates from GenBank. Molecular docking analysis was performed on the HA1 protein of the recent isolate and the A/Layer/Indonesia/WestJava-04/2017 isolate, comparing their interactions with the sialic acids Neu5Ac2-3Gal and Neu5Ac2-6Gal. Results RT–qPCR confirmed the isolate samples as AIV subtype H9N2. The recent virus exhibited 11 amino acid residue differences compared to the A/Layer/Indonesia/WestJava-04/2017 isolate. Phylogenetically, the recent virus remains within the h9.4.2.5 subclade. Notably, at antigenic site II, the recent isolate featured an amino acid N at position 183, unlike A/Layer/Indonesia/WestJava-04/2017. Molecular docking analysis revealed a preference of HA1 from the 2017 virus for Neu5Ac2-3Gal, while the 2023 virus displayed a tendency to predominantly bind with Neu5Ac2-6Gal. Conclusion In summary, the recent isolate displayed multiple mutations and a strong affinity for Neu5Ac2-6Gal, commonly found in mammals.

Moran’s Index Spatial Analysis On The New Case Detection Rate of Leprosy in West Java 2022

Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease, neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy is divided into two types based on the number of lesions on the skin. If there are less than 5 lesions, leprosy is classified as paucibacillary (PB) and if there are more than 5 lesions, leprosy is classified as multibacillary (MB). Indonesia is ranked third in the world after Brazil with 762 new cases of grade 2 disability leprosy by 2022. Therefore, spatial analysis of the new case detection rate of leprosy in West Java 2022 is needed. Objective: To determine wheter there are spatial dependency with the new case detection rate of leprosy in West Java 2022 Method: Quantitative research that utilises secondary data by conducting spatial analysis on the new case detection rate of leprosy in West Java 2022 using Moran's Index and LISA tests. Result: There are 5 areas namely Bekasi, Karawang, Subang, Indramayu, and Cirebon that have not yet reached the national target in eliminating leprosy. The value of Moran's I = 0.241 and p-value 0.0090 < ? (0.05) which means that there is a weak positive spatial dependence on the number of new leprosy cases in West Java Province 2022. There is 1 region that is in the high-high quadrant, namely Cirebon and there are 4 regions in the low-low quadrant, namely Cimahi City, Bandung City, Garut, and Tasikmalaya. Conclusion: A small number of areas in West Java Province still have not reached the national target of eliminating leprosy, which is a CDR of <5 per 100.000 population, namely Bekasi, Karawang, Subang, Indramayu, and Cirebon. There are 5 areas that have spatial linkages in the new case detection rate of leprosy in West Java Province in 2022 based on the significance value. The region in the high-high quadrant is Cirebon and there are 4 regions in the low-low quadrant, namely Cimahi City, Bandung City, Garut District, and Tasikmalaya District.
