being. One type of service with the potential to address these needs is digital journaling platforms. However, at the pre-launch stage, the main challenge faced by digital platforms lies not only in feature design, but also in building brand awareness from the outset through digital marketing strategies that are relevant to the needs of potential users.This study aims to design a digital marketing strategy based on consumer insight, customer journey, and value proposition at the pre-launch stage of the PelanPelan digital journaling platform. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach involving potential users from Generation Z aged 20–28 years. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and open-ended surveys. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify consumer insights, construct a conceptual customer journey, and formulate a value proposition as the foundation of the digital marketing strategy.The findings indicate that potential users perceive journaling as a tool for emotional regulation and self-reflection, yet still experience adoption barriers at the awareness stage. Based on these findings, pre-launch digital marketing strategies should focus on empathetic, simple, and emotionally driven communication to build contextual brand awareness.

Abstract:The Chechen War represents a paradigmatic case of asymmetric warfare in which terrorism was employed as a strategic instrument by non-state actors. This article examines terrorism not merely as ideological extremism, but…
as a coercive strategy shaped by structural power asymmetries between Chechen separatist groups and the Russian state. Using a qualitative historical approach combined with literature review and critical discourse analysis, the study analyzes the role of Shamil Basayev through the Budennovsk hostage crisis (1995) and the Kizlyar–Pervomayskoye attack (1996) as key turning points in the Chechen conflict. The findings demonstrate that terrorism functioned as an effective short-term tactic by generating political pressure and public attention, while simultaneously producing long-term strategic costs in the form of international delegitimization and intensified state repression. This article concludes that terrorism in asymmetric warfare exhibits a strategic paradox: it may be rational and effective in specific contexts, yet ultimately counterproductive to long-term political objectives.
Abstract:The rapid digital transformation in education has redefined the role of teachers, necessitating the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance pedagogical efficiency. This study aims to analyze the needs of primary…
rimary school teachers regarding AI, describe the implementation of AI-assisted smart teaching training, and evaluate its impact on teachers' professional competence and the quality of produced instructional tools. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach with a field study design, the research was conducted at UPTD SD Negeri 33 Bangai. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of teaching modules and worksheets. The subjects were selected via purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using the interactive model of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that AI-assisted smart teaching training effectively shifts teachers from passive technology users to active pedagogical designers. Findings reveal a paradigm shift where teachers perceive AI as "augmenting intelligence" that strengthens rather than replaces their professional role. The instructional tools produced post-training showed significant improvements in systematic alignment and the integration of Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Grounded in adult learning and experiential learning theories, this practice-based model fosters greater learning autonomy and reflective practice. This study contributes empirical evidence for the primary education context, suggesting that human-centered and pedagogically-driven AI integration is a vital strategy for teacher professional development in the digital era.

tionnaires to active Shopee users. Multiple linear regression results show that the three independent variables simultaneously have a significant effect on customer loyalty, but only Customer Trust has a significant partial effect. The Adjusted R Square indicates that the independent variables explain approximately 41.4% of the variation in customer loyalty. These findings highlight the importance of building customer trust as a key strategy in maintaining loyalty on e-commerce platforms.
Abstract:The development of digital technology has encouraged businesses to utilize social media as a marketing tool, one of which is through TikTok's Live Shopping feature. However, the use of TikTok Live Shopping in semi-rural…
areas such as Panenjoan Village, Cicalengka District, Bandung Regency, has not been optimal, as indicated by low consumer engagement and unstructured digital promotion strategies. This situation indicates a gap between the potential use of TikTok Live Shopping and the expected level of consumer engagement. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of TikTok Live Shopping utilization and digital promotion strategies on consumer engagement. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method, along with descriptive and verification analysis. The study population was consumers in Panenjoan Village who had participated in TikTok Live Shopping. The sample was determined using the Lemeshow formula, resulting in 100 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data analysis included validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, correlation tests, multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient of determination tests, and hypothesis testing using SPSS version 27. The results showed that the use of TikTok Live Shopping, digital promotion strategies, and consumer engagement were in the strong category. Partially, the use of TikTok Live Shopping and digital promotion strategies had a significant effect on consumer engagement. Simultaneously, these two independent variables also had a significant effect on consumer engagement. This study concluded that optimizing TikTok Live Shopping and implementing effective digital promotion strategies can increase consumer engagement in Panenjoan Village.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the influence of business strategy and profitability on firm value, with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a mediating variable at Bank BPD DIY. This study uses a quantitative causality…
approach with a confirmatory nature, testing the extent to which the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Stakeholder Theory are confirmed in the context of the regional banking industry. Primary data were collected through a 1–5 Likert-scale questionnaire from all BPD DIY managers (census method, 163 respondents) who met the criteria of managerial position, minimum three years of service, and involvement in strategic policy. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS. This involved testing the outer model (convergent validity, discriminant validity, reliability) and inner model (path coefficient, R², f², Q²) to assess the direct and indirect effects between variables. The variables studied included business strategy, profitability, CSR, and firm value, operationalized across several dimensions, including future orientation, operational efficiency, the social and environmental dimensions of CSR, and market value and corporate reputation. The instrument was independently developed based on theoretical synthesis (David & David, Houston, Teodorescu Ionescu, Carroll, and others), then validated through expert judgment before being tested for validity and reliability on pilot respondents. The results showed that business strategy had a positive effect on CSR and firm value, while profitability had a positive effect on CSR and firm value, aligning with the view that slack resources and a prospector strategy encourage stronger CSR activities and improved market perception. CSR was shown to have a positive effect on firm value and acted as a mediating variable in the relationships between business strategy and firm value and profitability and firm value. Thus, CSR implementation strengthens the transmission of the influence of strategy and financial performance on increasing firm value. These findings confirm that the integration of a sustainability-oriented business strategy, strong profitability performance, and consistent CSR implementation is a crucial combination for enhancing firm value in the regional banking sector.

acurricular activities implemented in schools. This study aims to describe the role of scouting and extracurricular activities in strengthening students' character values and to identify their implementation and impact on students' attitudes and behavior. The research method used was a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that scouting and extracurricular activities are able to instill the values of discipline, cooperation, leadership, responsibility, independence, and social awareness in a contextual and sustainable manner. The process of habituation, the role model of the instructor, and direct experience in the activities are key factors in the success of strengthening students' character. Therefore, scouting and extracurricular activities have a strategic contribution in supporting character education strengthening programs in schools and need to be managed systematically and integrated with learning activities.
Abstract:This study aims to describe the implementation of reading literacy strategies in Indonesian learning and identify supporting and inhibiting factors for its application in grade X students of SMA Negeri 13 Jeneponto Regency.…
cy. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type of research. The research subjects consisted of class X Indonesian teachers and class X students who were selected purposively. Data were collected through observation techniques, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive analysis model which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The validity of the data was tested through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results of the study showed that the reading literacy strategy was implemented through reading activities 15 minutes before learning, the use of diverse and contextual texts, discussions on reading comprehension, and reflective assignments. The implementation of this strategy encourages increased student participation, the ability to understand the content of reading, and a positive attitude towards reading activities. Supporting factors for the implementation of the reading literacy strategy include teacher commitment, support for school literacy programs, and the availability of reading materials, while inhibiting factors include the low interest in reading of some students, limited learning time, and the influence of gadget use that has not been optimally controlled. This study concludes that reading literacy strategies have an important role in supporting Indonesian learning and need to be implemented sustainably with the support of various parties.
Abstract:This study aims to examine the effect of environmental accounting disclosure and environmental performance on the financial performance of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2019–2023.…
�2023. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports. The sample consists of eight banking companies selected through purposive sampling. Financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), environmental performance is measured using the Sustainable Banking Assessment (SUSBA) index, and environmental accounting disclosure is measured using the Environmental Disclosure Index (EDI). The data are analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis after passing classical assumption tests. The results indicate that environmental accounting disclosure has a positive and significant effect on financial performance. In addition, environmental performance also has a positive and significant effect on financial performance. These findings suggest that transparent environmental disclosure and the implementation of sustainable banking practices contribute to improved financial performance. Therefore, banking companies are encouraged to enhance environmental accounting disclosure and strengthen environmental performance as part of their sustainability strategy.
