itize their digital devices over engaging with those around them. The rise of the internet generation has integrated media and communication into essential elements of daily life. This study focuses on the analysis of hashtag trends related to general elections, such as #capres2024, #cawapres2024, and #pemilu2024, on Instagram, and their influence on user perceptions. It examines the role of hashtags in CMC practices on Instagram during electoral periods. Through the analysis of seven samples, the study reveals that while certain posts align with the electoral purposes of the hashtags, others use these hashtags for visibility without relevance to the elections. The research underscores Instagram’s potential for reshaping political branding and enhancing voter engagement. It demonstrates that the strategic application of hashtags, combined with high-quality visuals and interactive features, can amplify the visibility and impact of political messaging. By integrating CMC and political branding theories, this study presents a framework for understanding how digital tools can foster a more engaged and informed electorate.

loying a qualitative methodology, the study included semi-structured interviews and focus groups with personnel from several departments. The results indicate that HRD programs are most efficient when they are congruent with individuals' specific career objectives and professional requirements, and when they have sufficient organizational resources and management support. The identification of challenges such as program rigidity and lack of relevance emphasizes the need for HRD methods that are more flexible and responsive. The research highlights the need of customizing HRD programs to cater to the varied requirements of employees and adjusting to rapid changes in the work environment. The findings provide practical and effective guidance for firms to improve their HRD processes and give stronger support for employee development. Further investigation is recommended to examine the incorporation of emerging technologies in HRD and evaluate their influence on employee engagement and development.

the prevalence of hypertension by utilizing nonpharmacological therapies, such as consuming young coconut water consumption. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of young coconut water consumption on reducing high blood pressure in menopausal women. A nonrandomized controlled trial study with a pretest-posttest control group design was chosen as the design of this study, which was conducted at the Community Health Center of Pekalongan, East Lampung Regency. A consecutive sampling technique was used to select eligible participants among menopausal women diagnosed with mild and moderate hypertension by medical personnel, totalling 16 treatment groups and 16 control groups. The treatment group was given the intervention of consuming young coconut water 300 ml morning and evening for seven days and taking standard hypertension medication. Meanwhile, the control group took standard hypertension medication. Participants had their blood pressure checked using an aneroid tensimeter before and after treatment. Data were analysed using a paired t-test with a confidence level (α) of 0.05 to prove the treatment effect on blood pressure reduction. The results found that the treatment of drinking young coconut water affected reducing systole blood pressure (p-value 0.016) and diastole (p-value 0.007). The average decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure pre and post-treatment was 11.25 mmHg and 9.87 mmHg after participants were controlled by taking standard hypertension medications. Drinking young coconut water can be used as a companion option for hypertension treatment by the community.

The results indicate a significant relationship between latrine ownership (p-value 0.000), hand washing behavior (p-value 0.000), and knowledge (p-value 0.000) with the incidence of diarrhea. The variables associated with the incidence of diarrhea at the Kebun Kopi Health Center in Jambi City include latrine ownership, hand washing behavior, and knowledge. The high incidence of diarrhea is closely linked to inadequate sanitation, poor hand washing practices, and low levels of health knowledge.

kepala daerah berdasarkan studi kasus di tiga kabupaten/kota di Riau, yakni Kota Dumai, Kabupaten Bengkalis dan Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu. Tulisan saya menganalisa respon elite dan kader partai di daerah terhadap kebijakan baru tersebut serta dinamika konflik yang ditimbulkannya. Selain itu, tulisan juga menganalisa faktor yang menyebabkan kemenangan dan kekalahan calon yang diusung Partai Golkar di Dumai, dan faktor kemenangan calon di Indragiri Hulu. Sumber data berasal dari kombinasi data yang diperoleh melalui teknik kuantitatif maupun kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa kebijakan pimpinan pusat Partai Golkar menerapkan survey sebagai pertimbangan dalam rekrutmen calon kepala daerah, secara institusional diterima dan dipahami pimpinan partai di Riau. Namun, kader di daerah yang memandang survey kurang menguntungkan bagi penerapan strategi pemenangan partai di daerah, ataupun menghambat kesempatan kader mencalonkan diri dengan menggunakan perahu Partai Golkar; sehingga merespon kebijakan tersebut secara kritis. Mekanisme rekrutmen terbuka yang memberi kesempatan setara antara kader internal partai dan calon dari luar partai dinilai kurang menghargai kontribusi kader internal di daerah yang selama ini sudah bekerja keras untuk membesarkan partai.
