Abstract: This study explores international communication management in the Department of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) of East Java in the context of cultural differences. The main findings indicate that DPMPTSP… PMPTSP operates in an environment with cultural dimensions such as low power distance, individualism, masculinity, low uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation. This affects the way the institution communicates and manages its international relations. The study found that adapting communication that is sensitive to cultural differences, including values, attitudes, and etiquette, is essential to improving operational effectiveness and efficiency. The novelty of this study lies in the in-depth understanding of the application of Hofstede's cultural theory in the context of international communication management in the public sector, as well as practical recommendations to overcome cultural challenges in international interactions.

Pengelompokan Pengguna Media Sosial Berdasarkan Pola Interaksi Menggunakan K-Means

Muhamad Ilhan Mansiz, Zaehol Fatah
Abstract: Mengelompokkan pengguna media sosial berdasarkan pola interaksi dengan menggunakan metode K-Means Clustering. Dalam era digital saat ini, memahami perilaku pengguna media sosial menjadi sangat penting bagi platform digital… al untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan dan retensi pengguna. Dengan mengidentifikasi interaksi pengguna, platform dapat merancang strategi yang lebih efektif untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dan preferensi pengguna. Dataset yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini mencakup atribut-atribut seperti BounceRates dan ExitRates untuk mencerminkan tingkat ketertarikan awal dan durasi interaksi pengguna, serta atribut Month, Region, VisitorType, dan Weekend untuk menangkap faktor temporal, geografis, dan perilaku kunjungan. Data tersebut diolah melalui proses normalisasi dan pengkodean untuk memastikan kompatibilitas dalam analisis K-Means. Hasil clustering menunjukkan adanya dua kelompok utama pengguna media sosial dengan karakteristik interaksi yang berbeda. Kelompok pertama terdiri dari pengguna dengan keterlibatan awal yang tinggi dan interaksi yang lebih lama, sedangkan kelompok kedua cenderung memiliki minat awal yang rendah dan durasi interaksi yang singkat. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan bagi pengelola platform media sosial untuk mengembangkan strategi yang lebih personalisasi dalam meningkatkan pengalaman pengguna, baik melalui konten yang lebih relevan maupun pendekatan pemasaran yang terarah. Dengan adanya pengelompokan ini, diharapkan platform media sosial dapat meningkatkan efektivitas interaksi pengguna dan memperkuat loyalitas pengguna, yang pada akhirnya berdampak positif pada pertumbuhan platform secara keseluruhan.

Repetition as Rhetorical Strategy in the English Translation of Surah Al-Mursalat: A Stylistic and Discourse Analysis

M. Asril Marpaung
Abstract: This study investigates the rhetorical and discourse functions of repetition in the English translation of Surah Al-Mursalat by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem, focusing on the refrain “Woe on that Day to those who denied the truth.”… h.” Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in stylistics and discourse analysis, the study explores how this fixed phrase, repeated ten times across the chapter, operates at multiple linguistic levels. The analysis reveals that the refrain serves three interrelated functions: stylistically, it foregrounds divine warning and creates rhythmic cohesion; structurally, it segments the surah into thematic units and signals discourse boundaries; rhetorically, it intensifies condemnation and engages the reader emotionally through cumulative repetition. Abdel Haleem’s consistent rendering of the refrain retains these functions effectively, unlike other translations that introduce lexical variation. The findings demonstrate that repetition in Qur’anic translation is not merely ornamental but performs essential linguistic and communicative roles. This study contributes to Qur’anic stylistics, translation studies, and discourse analysis by showing that sacred texts, when translated with rhetorical sensitivity, can preserve the stylistic integrity of the original.

A Theme–Rheme Analysis of International News Reports on Russia’s LGBT Policy

M. Asril Marpaung
Abstract: This study examines how thematic organization contributes to the construction of state power and social positioning in international news discourse. Drawing on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with a specific… c focus on Theme–Rheme structure, the study analyses a BBC news report published in November 2023 on the Russian Supreme Court’s decision to designate the so-called “international LGBT movement” as an extremist organization. Using a qualitative textual approach, the text is segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify patterns of thematic choice and progression. The findings reveal a consistent foregrounding of institutional actors, such as state authorities and legal bodies, in Theme position when reporting legal actions and policy decisions, while members of the LGBT community and civil society figures are predominantly thematized in clauses expressing reactions, personal experiences, and anticipated consequences. This asymmetric thematic distribution constructs a discourse in which state authority is positioned as the primary agent of action, whereas affected social groups are framed as respondents to institutional power. The study demonstrates that ideological meanings in news discourse may be realized implicitly through grammatical organization rather than explicit evaluative language, and it highlights the value of Theme–Rheme analysis for examining power relations in contemporary international news reporting.
