This paper discusses the representation of the lower class and social reality in Japan through the film Shoplifters. This film is analyzed using the representation theory of Stuart Hall, with critical discourse analysis. The characters in the film are members of a marginalized social class who voice problems of poverty, stigmatization, family problems, and social alienation that on the other hand, are clashed with humanism values. The result of this study indicate that Shoplifters is a social critique that represent the lower class in Japan. The humanistic side shown by the characters through their attitude and dialogue becomes a paradox, as an effort to fight the stigmatization of the lower class that has taken root due to sociohistorical factors. Japan's advancement has impact on the alienation which they tried to overcome by building social cohesion in the form of a family.

CMC Tiga Warna is one of the coastal area management for conservation and ecotourism in southern Malang, Indonesia. Despite fewer tourist visits, the COVID-19 pandemic did not dissuade locals from managing and protecting ecotourism in the coastal area. This study aims to: (a) to describe coastal ecosystem management; and (b) to analyze coastal ecotourist visit intention related to tourism knowledge, perceived health risk, and risk attitude in the post-COVID-19 era as a part of developing strategy for coastal ecosystem management in the study area from the perspective of ecotourists and destination management. CMC Tiga Warna management, community group supervisors, the local community, and a variety of experts were interviewed in order to gather data for the current strategy. Coastal ecotourist visit intention data from domestic ecotourists was gathered via online and offline surveys. Analyzing the visit intention data with Warp-PLS. Using the visit intention model and interview data, the coastline management strategy was described. This study found that the coastal environment management plan constantly involved ecotourists and locals. Tourism knowledge and risk attitude are positively related to the visit intention, however perceived health risk is negatively related to it. The significant positive relationship between tourism knowledge and ecotourist visit intention is mediated by perceived health risk and risk attitude. Development of the coastal ecosystem management plan could be supported by boosting visit intention, ecotourism visits, or economic incentive as a motive for sustaining the conservation program's consistency, and ecological and social rewards in a sustainable manner. This study added to the Theory of Reasoned Action by adding two additional factors, tourist knowledge and perceived health risk, in addition to the attitude to predict the visit intention. The ecotourism manager should provide varied tourist information and knowledge as needed, reduce COVID-19 exposure risk at tourist destinations, and increase risk attitude.

In translating Japanese compound sentences, generally, students still have difficulty in interpreting the meaning of the -te verb which functioned as a conjunction (-te conjunction) in compound sentences. Semantically, the -te verb form has some meanings that can be distinguished based on the context of the sentence. Inaccuracy in determining the meaning of the -te conjunction can affect the results of translating compound sentences. In this research, the forms of -te conjunction translation errors which causes the error in translating compound sentence will be elaborated. Data in this research taken from the translation of 'Haha no Tanjobi', which is one of the subtitles in the Rudolf Beethoven biography book titled Beetoben Kodomo Denki Zenshuu, translated by semester VI students of the Japanese Language Program, Vocational College, UGM. From the analysis, the causes of errors in translating conjunctions can be concluded as follows: learners do not understand the classification of the -te conjunctions’ meaning, lack of mastery of Japanese and Indonesian compound sentence structures, and have not been able to understand the message/ meaning of each clause forming compound sentences in Japanese.

(Title: Batik Clothes As Omiyage: Case Study On Japanese University Students Who Had Studied At UGM In 2009-2017) Batik has long been known as a typical culture of Yogyakarta, and therefore it is most likely chosen by the tourists to take home as souvenir. Until 2017 UGM which is located in Yogyakarta is often visited by students from Japan. As well as studying, they also become tourists who will buy omiyage before returning to Japan. The culture of giving omiyage has existed in Japan since ancient times and until now the term omiyage is still being used for something given to others after traveling. This study aims to determine the relevance of batik clothing as omiyage according to the view of Japanese students who have studied at UGM from 2009-2017. Data were obtained through questionnaire distributed during July 2017 to 60 Japanese students who had studied at UGM. The results of this study indicate that food is still preferred to be omiyage, and batik clothes is not a suitable item to be brought home as omiyage, because of some perceptions about batik clothes as somehing not quite universal to wear in Japan.

Berlin banana flower (Musa acuminate AA.) was widely found in Indonesia, it is believed to contain rich bioactive phytochemical constituents. A novel prototype, a continuous system-designed ultrasound machine (CDUM), was utilized to extract the constituents of the Berlin banana flower. Extraction was done for three parts of the Berlin banana flower (inner bud, outer bud, and male flower), for each 15 min, working the solvent in different polarities (distilled water, ethanol 100%, and ethanol 50%). CDUM was equipped with a novel element namely a double-jacket chiller to hold stable temperature (≤ 30 °C) for running time. Results, the highest extract yields of all extracted Berlin banana flower parts (13.80 ± 0.16% - 15.33 ± 0.18%) was generated by the ethanol 50%. However, the extract yield average of each part was equal. By the best solvent, the male flower part extract had the highest antioxidant capacity (47.13 ± 0.72%). Bioactive phytochemical classes i.e. phenolics, terpenoids, alkaloids, amino acid derivatives, fatty acid derivatives, organic sulfur-containing compounds, and saponins were contained in the extracts of different Berlin banana flower parts. The richest phenolics (12 compounds) were present in the male flower part extract., mainly gallic acid, caffeic acid, phenyllactic acid, 2,3-Dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid, 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid, and 2,5-di-tert-Butylhydroquinone, which are only contained in it. The CDUM extracted the Berlin banana flower more efficiently (high yield, low energy consumption) than the conventional technique.

ABSTRACT. This article delves into the impact and role of the lower middle class on Indonesia’s environmental landscape. Despite their social and economic marginalization, this demographic heavily relies on cheap, easily accessible fast fashion for clothing, leading to detrimental environmental consequences such as ecosystem degradation and pollution. This research was carried out by conducting a literature review through library research, where the data came from library data collection. This study further analyzes literature regarding socio-economic dynamics and environmental problems. This approach unveiled the lower middle class’s profound influence of fast fashion consumption on Indonesia’s environment. The research highlights the lower middle class’s pivotal role in fast fashion waste distribution, exacerbating environmental pollution. Hence, governmental intervention becomes imperative to regulate fast fashion production, manage waste, and restrict the influx of second-hand fast fashion businesses. The article concludes by emphasizing the lower middle class’s dual role as both major consumers and victims of global capitalism in the fast fashion industry, necessitating state protection through various policy measures. These include elevating product quality standards, ensuring fair labor practices, enhancing consumer protection, and controlling the influx of foreign fast fashion products. Ultimately, the study underscores the necessity of comprehensive governmental interventions to mitigate the environmental repercussions of fast fashion consumption, safeguarding both the lower middle class and Indonesia’s environment.

Within the framework of sovereign country under the Constitution of 1945, the regulation concerning social security stated in Article 28H paragraph (3) and article 34 paragraph (2). Social security is also guaranteed under the Declaration of Human Rights Year1948 and confirmed in ILO Convention number 102 in 1952 that urge all countries to give maximum protection to labors. As continuation of those regulations, a national system of social security has been formed to result integrated and vast social protection. Transformation of labor security from JAMSOSTEK (Social Protection for Labors), ASKES (Health Insurance) to a mergence called BPJS (Social Security Administrative Body) has been a reforming step that gives legal implication to the rights and responsibility of its stakeholders. The policy of social security system, then demanded that the body is divided into two main different tasks: Health Security Administrative Body (BPJS Kesehatan), Labor Security Administrative Body (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan). This distinction leads to the conversion of membership, programs, asset, liability, workers, right, responsibilities, as well as the addition of a new program called pension security, especially within the framework of Labor Security Administrative Body. This is, in short, to pursue an integrated and inclusive administration of social security.

This study aims to determine the implementation of waste management policies in Simeulue District. The method used is qualitative, while the informants are determined by purposive sampling. Data was collected through interviews and documentation. While data analysis is done by means of transcription, classification, and drawing conclusions, The results of the study show that the implementation of policies related to waste management, abbreviated as Jakstrakab, as stated in Simeulue Regent Regulation Number 21 of 2019, shows that: (1) Jakstrakab communication through outreach has not reached many groups; (2) resources are still limited, especially related to human resources, budget, and waste management facilities such as abandoned fleets, warehouses, and equipment; (3) regarding the disposition, there is still overlapping work; and (4) the large bureaucratic structure causes officers to carry out their duties and functions not in accordance with the established Jakstrakab. The study concludes that bureaucracy, commitment, efficient communication, and resource allocation are necessary for Simeulue's waste management policy to be implemented. It is necessary to overcome obstacles including poor communication, a lack of resources, and bureaucratic disarray. Simeulue may enhance waste management practices toward sustainability by strengthening communication, managing resources better, and enlisting the support of policy implementers.

Indonesia's maritime economic potential is now starting to be managed in an innovative and good manner, so that it can become one of the targets of development and can provide optimal benefits for the state and people of Indonesia. This very supportive maritime natural condition can certainly be developed into other potentials, one of which is tourism. This potential certainly should not be missed. Simeulue Island has many beautiful tourist spots that need to be developed. However, the beautiful natural charm is not offset by optimal management. waste management is still bad, there is an assumption that development on the beach will only provide one-sided benefits and a lack of community enthusiasm for the development of beach tourism, and the problem of minimal human resources in managing marine tourism. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of sustainable marine tourism through the Pentahelix concept in Simeulue Regency. The method used is a qualitative method using observation, interviews and literature studies. The results of the study show that there are 5 roles studied, namely the government, which is carried out by the Disparbud and Bappeda collaborating and coordinating with each other on issues related to tourism development planning which are in the process of being prepared and further sustainable development is needed. While academics play a role in efforts to study the development of tourism and community empowerment in the field of tourism. The media play a role in helping promotions to increase tourist attractiveness, social groups through tourism awareness groups that need to be optimized again and business people who provide tourism support facilities in Simeulue Regency such as lodging, culinary, entertainment and transportation

Coastal Lampung is one of the areas visited by immigrant, the asylum seekers, before heading to the destination country. They come from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sudan, and Somalia. Immigrants left their home countries because of conflict and socio-economic conditions. The concept of maritime development must pay attention to the social security aspect of illegal immigrants, and people smuggling. The specific purpose of this study is to get a development model for cooperation in handling human smuggling in the Lampung Coastal Region. This study uses the Lani Kass formula regarding non traditional security threats. From the formula, the researcher will explain the descriptive qualitative method of three aspects, such as vulnerability, the intention of the foreigners’s arrival and state capabilities. The result of this study shows that there is already a model of cooperation for handling people smuggling in Lampung, including to reach the coastal areas. Inter-party cooperation coordinated by the Ministry of Political, Legal and Security Coordination involves up to the regional government. The efforts to handle people smuggling in Lampung was intense around 2008 and faded around 2015. There was a dependency from the part of the regional government on the central government's budget and programs, and cooperation initiated by the central government with international organizations such as IOM, UNHCR and the destination countries of the refugees. The increasing cases have not been responded to by the government with adequate regulation and handling efforts. Indonesia has not signed a refugee convention, also affects the absence of regional regulations regarding people smuggling. Key words: People Smuggling, Vulnerability, Intention, State Capabilities, Local Government

The Reading Community (in Indonesian: Taman Bacaan Masyarakat/TBM) has a role as one of the driving forces in supporting literacy culture in society. The Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation Number 23, 2015 concerns the Cultivation of Character Building and strengthens efforts to establish the culture of literacy. This study took samples of TBM in Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Based on data from the Ministry of Education and Culture 2018, there are currently 56 reading communities in the Bantul Regency. This is around 15% of the total TBM in DIY Province. As a form of out-of-school education, TBM also has a role in improving the quality of human resources. This study considers the relationship between the existence of the community and their role in improving the quality of human resources in the society. This study used descriptive qualitative methods. Data collection is done through observations and interviews. Based on the collected data, it was concluded that the presence of TBM managed by members of the local community had a positive influence, especially for children and adolescents. The existence of TBM increases reading interest among children and boosts the number of teenagers who continue their education to a higher level. Thus, the TBM supports one of the national goals, namely improving the quality of human resources through lifelong learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia is a country which implemented local autonomy and have principle refers to the power of localities to legislate and regulate the behavior of residents. Based on that condition, local government has various policy matters which may cause problems in the formation of local regulation products. Until now, there are still uncertainty of standards and criteria on the establishment of Local Regulations and Local Head Regulations (governors, regents, mayors regulation) which may overlap one another and, as a result, finally revoked. This research paper is considered essential to conduct as there are numerous Local regulations with type, hierarchy, and legal substance which having technical characteristics and similarities with Local Head Regulations. In the other hand, many Local Head Regulations which should be organized in Local Regulations are somehow made in the form of Local Head Regulations. The merit of legislation principles based on law state is closely related with the formulation of local regulation products in the form of Local Regulations and Local Head Regulations. The authors discover a number of issues supporting the research objects, especially when creating the initiative Local Regulations. There were tendency of Council members to set up a technical issue in the form of Local Regulations in order that there would be no leeway to grant the authority to Local Head Regulations. Meanwhile, in other regions, there are a number of Local Head Regulations adopted into Local Regulations as their content materials are considered as the Local Regulations. Keywords: Local Regulation; Local Head Regulation; Principle of Legislation type; Hierarchy and Legal Substance.
