EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING, EWOM, AND BRAND IMAGE IN INCREASING PURCHASE INTENTION FOR NPURE PRODUCTS ON TIKTOK (A CASE STUDY ON GEN Z IN YOGYAKARTA)
No full textThis study examines the influence of social media marketing, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), and brand image on purchase intention toward NPure skincare products on TikTok among Generation Z consumers in Yogyakarta. TikTok has become one of the most impactful digital platforms for shaping consumer perceptions, particularly in the beauty industry where short-video content, peer reviews, and influencer endorsements strongly affect purchasing behavior. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this research adopts a quantitative approach with a causal explanatory design. Data were collected from 160 respondents using a purposive sampling technique targeting active TikTok users aged 13–28 who are familiar with NPure products. Measurement instruments were adapted from validated indicators and assessed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to evaluate the relationships among variables. The results show that social media marketing, eWOM, and brand image each have a significant and positive effect on purchase intention. These findings highlight the effectiveness of TikTok as a marketing channel, demonstrating that engaging content, credible online reviews, and strong brand perceptions play essential roles in influencing consumer decisions. The study provides empirical insights into digital marketing practices in the skincare industry and reinforces the importance of integrating interactive social media strategies to enhance consumer purchasing interest

Effect of antioxidant dietary behaviour in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk during COVID-19 pandemic
Full text linkBackground: Smokers are at risk of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)which has a risk of decreasing in quality of life because of lung function decline and smoking habits. Decreased lung function due to an increase in free radicals. Intake of foods that contain antioxidants can help reduce free radicals.Objectives: The research aimed to determine the effect of antioxidant intake (vitamins A, C, and E) on the development of COPD risk in active smokers.Methods: This study was conducted in May-July 2023 in Surabaya. This study used a cross-sectional design, with purposive sampling and snowball sampling methods. The subjects were adult active smokers. Antioxidant intake consisted of the intake consumed by subjects daily containing vitamins A, vitamin C, and vitamin E using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) method to describe nutritional intake in a certain period. COPD risk assessment was measured using a pulmonary function test with spirometry, with an assessment of the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) / forced vital capacity (FVC) below 0.70 defined as airflow limitation. The data were tested using the Spearman test to see the relationship between antioxidant intake from food and lung function.Results: This study involved 49 active smokers with COPD. Most subjects experienced deficiencies in vitamin A (77.55%), and vitamin C (87.76%), and all subjects experienced vitamin E deficiencies. The most consumed food containing vitamin A was palm oil, the most consumed food containing vitamin C was papaya, and the most consumed food containing vitamin E was chicken. There was no relationship between vitamin A and the development of COPD risk (Sig.=0.187; r=-0.192), but there was a significant relationship (weak negative) between vitamin C and the risk of developing COPD (Sig.=0.031; r=-0.309). All subjects had a deficiency of vitamin E.Conclusions: The lower the intake of vitamin C, the greater the risk of COPD which is characterized by decreased lung function
