So it can be said that cyber public relations is a public relations strategy that cannot be ignored. As a strategy, cyber public relations certainly has an important role in shaping the image of an institution.

The data collection technique in this research was carried out circularly using two approaches, namely; role observation (participant observation) and in-depth interviews (in-depth interviews). Meanwhile, data analysis in this research was carried out through; data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. This research describes the implementation of several problem solving procedures studied by presenting data about communication systems using cyber public relations methods in increasing public trust in Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jadid, so that the object of the problem can be clearly exposed. The object of research is communication carried out by Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jadid, where communication using cyber public relations methods functions as persuasive communication to the community.

Interpersonal Metafunction Analysis of Smartphone Slogans

This study presents an interpersonal metafunction analysis of smartphone slogans. Since the smartphone has been extensively commercialized, companies create different slogans for every single edition. Though it is usually formulated in short-purposive phrases and does not straightforwardly magnetize purchasers, the slogan is a form of language to support a market campaign. Slogans are usually embodied in clauses or sentences; part of grammar; a “system of wordings” (Matthiessen and Halliday: 1997). The Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach was conducted to scrutinize the realization of the lexicogrammar level revealed through MOOD’s interpersonal meaning. By using the descriptive qualitative method, SFL, and UAM CorpusTool,  it was found that the realization of MOOD in this study shown in percentage; declarative clause 6,4% or N=51; interrogative clause 0,1% or N=1; and imperative clause 3,4% or N=27. This result, it shows that the declarative clause is the most frequently used in creating smartphone slogans, to provide information and offering products at once. It can be concluded that from selected smartphone slogans, predominantly, companies shows that they have a wider knowledge of the products through delivering, informing, offering, demanding, and commanding customers.

ISLAM STATE AND POLITICS IN ISLAMIC POLITICAL DISCIPLINE

Historical reviews and analyses of the relationship between Islam, the state and politics are always interesting to discuss. A historical review would be significant for the discussion to show that an understanding of secularism, for example, is not a foreign idea in the history of Islamic societies. The purpose of this study is to provide confirmation that Islam does not only talk about worship. Islam is political and stately, the confidence of Islam in politics and state is proven based on historical facts and civilizations that are carved closely. This research is a literature research with a historical approach, so the data presented is the result of historical literature analysis. The results of the study explain that there is a separation between religious and political authority that can be traced back to the time of Abu Bakr as the first caliph of the state of Medina. The fact that this view does not prevail among Muslims does not mean that this view is in itself wrong. In fact, the crisis in relations between Islam and the state and politics that Muslims are experiencing today wherever they are, indicates the need for a new way of reading history. The conclusion of this study is that it is clear that the models of relations between religious authorities and the state vary from heightened state control over central religious institutions to more independent but cooperative relations, and full autonomy and even open opposition to state policies
