PENGGUNAAN RETORIKA DALAM PIDATO PENGUNDURAN DIRI MIKHAIL GORBACHEV: KAJIAN WACANA KRITIS NORMAN FAIRCLOUGH
Full text linkThis study analyzes the use of rhetoric in Mikhail Gorbachev\u27s resignation speech on December 25, 1991, using one of Norman Fairclough\u27s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, namely rhetorical aspect. This speech marked the dissolution of the Soviet Union and reflected the socio-political changes during Gorbachev\u27s leadership, particularly concerning glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) policies. Through an analysis of Aristotle\u27s five rhetorical elements—inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria, and pronuntiatio—this study finds that Gorbachev employed rhetorical strategies to reframe his reform ideas, establish credibility, and influence public perception of the ongoing political transition. The findings indicate that the speech was not merely a formal declaration but also a political communication tool aimed at reinforcing the legitimacy of his reforms and shaping public opinion
Synthesis and Partial Characterization of Chitosan Phosphorylation from Marine Cuttlefish Sepia aculeata (Orbingy, 1848) and Its Antimicrobial Potentials Against Oral Pathogens
Full text linkObjectives: This study investigated the synthesis and partial characterization of phosphorylated chitosan extracted from the cuttlebone of Sepia aculeata (Orbingy, 1848) and evaluated its antimicrobial potential against oral pathogens. Methods: The synthesis of phosphorylated chitosan from Sepia aculeata cuttlebone involved several steps: cleaning, deproteinization, demineralization to extract chitin, deacetylation to produce chitosan, and phosphorylation to introduce phosphate groups. Phosphorylation enhances the properties of chitosan, making it a promising candidate for oral health applications. Phosphorylated chitosan was purified and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to confirm structural changes. This process enhances the properties of chitosan and promotes its sustainability by utilizing marine waste materials. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using the well diffusion method. Results: Results showed maximum inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (27 ± 2.25 mm) and minimum inhibition against Candida tropicalis (23 ± 1.83 mm), as confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, and XRD. Conclusion: Antimicrobial assays showed significant efficacy against common oral pathogens, indicating their potential use in dental-care products
Calderbank Offer sebagai Instrumen untuk Meningkatkan Efisiensi di BANI Arbitration Center
Full text linkThis article explores the shifting landscape of international arbitration, traditionally valued for its efficiency. Today, increased costs and prolonged dispute resolution processes change this perception. The article introduces the Calderbank offer, a strategic instrument from common law that promotes early settlement. By integrating civil law’s adversarial approach and practice to settle with settlement offer in common law, this concept aligns with peace theory and could enhance efficiency in BANI Arbitration Center. This instrument allows arbitral tribunals to impose cost penalties on parties who reject settlement offers and subsequently fail to achieve a more favorable award. In this research, the authors employ a normative juridical research method, utilizing literature review as the primary approach. This research indicates that adopting the Calderbank offer may encourage parties to objectively consider the settlement offer, potentially leading to a win-win solution. BANI Arbitration Center may adopt this instrument, as BANI Rules has included provisions on tribunal discretion in cost allocation
DECOLONIZING JAVA: RETHINKING GAMELAN, BODIES, AND CULTURAL AUTHENTICITY
Full text linkThis article critically examines the complex interactions between Javanese identity, colonial influence, and karawitan (traditional Javanese music) through an autoethnographic methodology. By introducing the innovative concept of the ‘body as archive,’ the research explores how embodied experiences function as repositories of cultural memory and resistance. It deconstructs colonial interventions in karawitan, uncovering how documentation, standardization, and systematic recording processes altered the transmission and cultural significance of the art form. The research traces the transition from oral traditions to written documentation, highlighting the commodification of Javanese artistic expressions and the emergence of cultural stereotypes. A central focus of this study is the exploration of embodied knowledge as a decolonial strategy. By emphasizing local wisdom and personal narratives, the article demonstrates how performative practices such as karawitan can serve as potent sites for cultural reclamation and identity negotiation. The analysis ultimately challenges conventional perspectives on cultural preservation, contending that evolving artistic traditions have the potential to reshape and reimagine Javanese identity in a postcolonial context
Effect of the CaO Catalyst Concentration Based on Barnacle Shells (Tetraclita squamosa) on Biodiesel Production from Coconut Oil
Full text linkBarnacle shells are a source of the calcium oxide (CaO) catalyst, which is nontoxic, highly alkaline, and biodegradable. This study aims to determine the characteristics and the effect of the CaO catalyst concentration obtained from the calcination of barnacle shell particles at a temperature of 900 ℃ for 2 and 4 h on the transesterification reaction of biodiesel from coconut oil. Transesterification was conducted at 65℃ for 2 h with a methanol/coconut oil molar ratio of 6:1. The concentration of the CaO catalyst was varied (i.e., 1wt%, 3wt%, 5wt%, 7wt%, and 9wt%) for coconut oil. The results of the characterization of the catalyst through the X-ray diffraction test showed that the best calcination time was 4 h. The characteristic peaks of CaO appear at diffraction angles (2θ) of 31.4°, 36.0°, 54.3°, and 64.7°. The optimum catalyst concentration was 5wt%, where the highest yield (92.17%) was obtained with the following biodiesel characteristics: density at 40 ℃ of 863 kg/m3 , kinematic viscosity at 40 ℃ of 3.03 cSt, water content of 0.01%, and acid number of 0.26 mg KOH/g. The results of the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis based on the optimum catalyst concentration showed that biodiesel was composed of methyl ester compounds, which were dominated by methyl laurate (54.52%) and methyl myristate (19.37%)
Staff Expectancies in Conducting Ship Hygiene and Sanitation Inspections: A Qualitative Study at Banten Class I Port Health Quarantine Office
Full text linkSea transport plays a vital role in the movement of goods and passengers, yet it simultaneously poses a potential risk for the transmission of infectious diseases, both nationally and internationally. Ship hygiene and sanitation inspection (HSI) is a strategic measure to control such risks, and the outcomes of these inspections are influenced by the expectations of the implementing officers. This study explores how staff expectancy at the Banten Class I Port Health Quarantine Office affects the quality of HSI. A qualitative study using the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) was conducted with 80 staff members across five work units. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations, and analyzed using triangulation of sources and methods. Findings indicate that expectancy is shaped by perceived ability, work experience, and technical skills, all of which affect motivation and inspection quality of HSI. Officers with high expectancy demonstrated stronger motivation and performance, while limited experience and competency hindered those with lower expectancy. This study recommends strengthening staff capacity through continuous training, establishing multidisciplinary inspection teams, and enhancing institutional support through performance-based incentives. The findings highlight staff expectancy as a critical factor in improving the quality of HIS
