“…Semiotics and symbol studies as a theoretical framework in analyzing sociocultural issues, including in public policy, public administration, and corporate culture issues, have been used, although rarely in Indonesia (Atkinson, 2018(Atkinson, , 2019Bondestam, 2004;Fiol, 1989;Garrick & Pendergast, 2014;Goodsell, 1977;Kurland & Aleci, 2015). Semiotics has also been used to research institutional semiotics which focuses on Jakobson's semiotics (Arnold et al, 2001).…”

The emergence of the issue of halal products, both in the form of food and services, has also led to competition regarding the certification of halal products. Studies on competition between certification bodies have been carried out, but these studies do not focus on the competition that occurs in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia which is a big market for the halal industry. In Indonesia, the implementation of the regulation of Halal Product Guarantee (HPG) in Law No. 33 2014 still raises problems, including the related issue of inter-organizational relations. This article discusses the relations between organizations based on the interpretation of each party related to the Halal Product Guarantee policy, and the consequences arising from it. This article used new institutional theory, and a semiotics approach as analysis of verbal signs and gestures raised by each of the parties. This article argued that the interpretations of each organizational actor towards the new halal certification policy in Indonesia are driven by different institutional reasons/logics, resulting in contradictions, even conflicts related to the relationship between organizations implementing the policy. The difference in meaning, especially in the connotative meaning, shows the difference in institutional logic. Thus, there is a divergence in meaning. Therefore, it is important to equate significance (meaning/interpretation) to each of the institutions related to Halal Product Guarantee in order to realize the implementation of the regulations properly.

“…In other countries as well, studies have been conducted on the extent of sexual harassment in universities (Hardy, 2018;Klein & Martin, 2019), a brief review of which indicates that sexual harassment is more or less common in university environments all over the world. For instance, studies have been carried out in this regard in New Zealand (Jones et al, 2013), Nigeria (Taiwo et al, 2014), Lagos (Sulaiman, 2015), Zimbawe (Shumba & Matina, 2002), South Africa (Joubert et al, 2011;Joubert, 2009), Sweden (Bondestam, 2004), and India (Vandana, 2020).…”

The present article aims to study the gender oppression of female students in the context of the existing relations at Iranian universities. Methodology: To this end, based on the qualitative method, ten universities in different fields were selected and in-depth interviews were conducted with 146 female students who experienced sexual harassment by male professors. Thus, we analysed interviews by thematic analysis. Findings: University community is the only mixed community, gender-wise, in Iranian administrative-governmental settings, with a very different cultural diversity and circulation. Therefore, scores of situations, in which gender and sexual encounters are possible, arise amid everyday university relationships. Although the issue of male professors' sexual and gender encounters with female students has been publicized in Iran, it has been mostly ignored in research studies. Conclusion:The findings of the study show that when the Islamic cultural principle of gender relationship boundaries is regarded firmly or violated by male professors, the triad of 'violence', 'discrimination' and 'exploitation' will emerge, resulting in gender oppression toward female students.
