The foundation of curriculum development is not only needed by curriculum (macro) or written curriculum which is often referred to as the ideal curriculum, but must also be understood and used as a basis for consideration by the curriculum implementer (micro), namely education supervisors and teachers and other parties related to the task of education management, as a material that will be used as an instrument in coaching the implementation of the curriculum in each type and the level of education. With this important position, curriculum development cannot be done carelessly, but must be based on various considerations, or foundations so that it can be used as a foothold in organizing the educational process, so as to facilitate the achievement of educational and learning goals more efficiently and effectively.

Fadiyah Faisal Anoez Alamri, Laksmyn Kadir, Ayu Rofia Nurfadillah — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance, and is influenced by various risk factors such as age, diet, stress, and lack of physical activity. Complications caused by this disease include microvascular and macrovascular disorders, one of which is peripheral perfusion disorders that can be detected through an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) examination. This study aims to determine the value of blood pressure and ABI in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the working area of the Kabila Health Center, Bone Bolango Regency. The study used a descriptive quantitative method with a quasi experimental design and purposive sampling technique, involving 33 respondents. The results showed that 69.7% of respondents had high blood pressure and all respondents (100%) showed ABI values in the category of mild obstruction (0.71–0.89). These findings indicate that type 2 DM patients in the region are at risk of peripheral blood circulation disorders even though they have not shown severe clinical symptoms. Factors of age, physical activity, and the length of time you have been suffering from diabetes are factors that affect the value of ABI. It is recommended that future studies use larger samples and more accurate examination methods such as vascular doppler for more valid results.

At the level of Psychological workload, there were 4 members with a large effort (86-100), 9 members with a very large effort (101-114) and 22 members with a very large effort (115-150).

The results of the calculation of physiological and psychological workload were proposed to increase the number of workers because they experienced a high workload. Police institutions are advised to conduct periodic evaluations to manage the physiological and psychological workload of satreskrim members, so that they remain optimal.

Implementation of the Principle of Constitutional Supremacy in Law Enforcement in Indonesia

Kevin Mario Immanuel, Andri Rahmat Isnaini, Mohammad Solekhan, Yusuf — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The principle of constitutional supremacy serves as a foundational cornerstone within Indonesia’s legal and governmental framework, positioning the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD NRI 1945) as the highest authority in the hierarchy of legislation. This supremacy is not merely symbolic; it acts as a fundamental norm (grundnorm) that should guide both the legislative process and the execution of state power. This article explores how the principle of constitutional supremacy is applied in the enforcement of law in Indonesia, while also highlighting the normative and structural challenges that hinder consistent constitutional adherence. Utilizing a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes statutory regulations, Constitutional Court rulings, and observes state practices. The findings reveal that despite the Constitutional Court’s significant role in safeguarding constitutional integrity through judicial review, implementation at the practical level often suffers from regulatory inconsistencies, non-compliance with constitutional rulings, and limited constitutional understanding among law enforcers and lawmakers. To address these issues, institutional strengthening, legislative reform, and widespread constitutional education are imperative to ensure all state actions and policies are in harmony with the principle of constitutional supremacy.

The Application of the Ultimum Remedium Principle in the Handling of Minor Crimes in Indonesia

Mery Rohana Lisbeth Sibarani, Aribandi, Aliman, Ade Ari Gumilar, Liza Utama — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The principle of ultimum remedium serves as a fundamental concept in criminal law, emphasizing that criminal sanctions should be the final recourse after other legal remedies are deemed insufficient. This doctrine arises from the understanding that criminal law is inherently repressive and should only be employed when non-penal approaches fail to resolve legal issues. In Indonesia, the application of this principle in handling minor criminal offenses remains problematic. Although recent legal reforms have begun to incorporate restorative justice mechanisms, punitive approaches still dominate in practice. Many individuals committing petty crimes continue to be prosecuted through formal judicial proceedings and subjected to imprisonment, despite the relatively minor harm caused. This study explores the extent to which the ultimum remedium principle has been implemented in the enforcement of minor criminal offenses in Indonesia. It also examines the challenges hindering its effective application and offers potential policy recommendations. Using a normative juridical approach, this research analyzes statutory provisions and relevant case studies. The findings indicate that the principle has not been fully realized, primarily due to inconsistent enforcement practices among law enforcement officials and the underdevelopment of alternative dispute resolution frameworks outside the court system.

Optimizing the Function of the House of Representatives in Overseeing the Government in the Digital Government Era

Mohammad Fajar Abdjul — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The shift towards digital governance has triggered major transformations in public administration, particularly in how oversight is conducted by the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR). The era of digital government is characterized by the adoption of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE), which enables electronic data storage, processing, and dissemination. This digital infrastructure offers a significant opportunity for the DPR to enhance its supervisory role through faster, more transparent, and traceable access to government data. However, several challenges persist, including limited access to internal government data, risks of digital information manipulation, and the relatively low level of digital literacy among some legislative members. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach to explore these dynamics, with a focus on the DPR’s oversight of digital education funding during the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings reveal that effective parliamentary oversight requires not only open data systems and improved digital competencies among legislators but also active collaboration with civil society. The case of monitoring internet quota assistance and digital infrastructure in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions illustrates the importance of data-driven and adaptive oversight in formulating responsive public policies. In conclusion, as bureaucracy undergoes digital transformation, strengthening the DPR’s oversight capacity is essential to uphold government transparency and accountability.

Legal Certainty on Business Dispute Resolution Through Arbitration

Christina Bagenda, Anindya Bidasari, Purwanto, Bambag Teguh Handoyo, Rustam — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Arbitration has increasingly become the preferred method for resolving business disputes, offering an alternative to the often lengthy and complex litigation process. It presents several advantages, such as expedited proceedings, confidentiality, and final, binding decisions. This article explores how legal certainty is upheld within the arbitration process and evaluates its effectiveness in resolving commercial disputes in Indonesia. The research adopts a normative juridical method, utilizing qualitative analysis of legislation, legal doctrines, and case studies of arbitration awards. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s arbitration framework, governed by Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, provides a solid legal foundation for arbitration proceedings. The final and non-appealable nature of arbitration decisions enhances legal certainty for the disputing parties. Nevertheless, challenges remain in the enforcement phase, particularly in the execution of arbitral awards through the district courts. These issues highlight the need for better coordination between arbitration institutions and the judiciary, along with improved legal awareness among law enforcement officials regarding the role of arbitration. In conclusion, arbitration continues to play a vital role in ensuring legal certainty and promoting the efficient resolution of business disputes in today’s legal landscape.

The Role of Registered Certificate (SKT) as an Instrument of Legal Protection in Indonesian Tax Administration

Muchamad Catur Rizky, Sudjai, Didit Darmawan — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study provides a normative legal analysis of the role and challenges of the Certificate of Registration (Surat Keterangan Terdaftar or SKT) as a fundamental legal instrument in Indonesia’s tax administration system. The SKT serves not only as proof of legal authority but also marks the commencement of a taxpayer’s formal tax obligations, whether for individuals or legal entities. Employing a regulatory review approach combined with scholarly literature and relevant legal doctrines, the study reveals that although the SKT is designed to uphold the principle of legality and strengthen the administrative validity of taxation, several practical issues persist. These include inconsistent interpretations, inefficient bureaucratic procedures, and the need for adaptation to digital systems and inter-agency data integration. Such challenges can lead to miscommunication, administrative oversight, and legal vulnerabilities for both taxpayers and tax authorities. To address these concerns, the study recommends regulatory harmonization, enhanced taxpayer education, stronger oversight mechanisms, and improved data verification and security systems. Streamlining administrative procedures and conducting periodic evaluations are essential to reinforce the SKT as a tool for legal protection and certainty within the national tax framework. These findings aim to offer both theoretical insight and practical recommendations for advancing tax law and improving fiscal administrative governance in Indonesia towards a more accountable and equitable system.

Noprijon, Martin Kustati, Rezki Amelia — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to determine and analyze the motivation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in writing scientific articles at MTsN 10 Pesisir Selatan. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the motivation of PAI teachers in writing articles is influenced by intrinsic factors, such as encouragement of professional development, the desire to share knowledge, and self-actualization; as well as extrinsic factors, such as demands for career development, awards from institutions, and encouragement from colleagues. However, challenges such as time constraints, lack of writing training, and lack of access to scientific journals are still obstacles. This study recommends the need for ongoing scientific writing training, stronger institutional support, and strengthening of academic culture in the madrasah environment.

Criminal Aspects of Illegal Online Lending Practices in Indonesia

Yanta Karona Subakti, Rospita Adelina Siregar — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The economic crisis, the increasing needs of society, and the development of the internet and digital world are seen as a golden opportunity for official banks and large financiers to gain greater profits. Banks that have existed so far provide loan facilities through applications and internet networks without collateral or guarantees and without complicated conditions. The interest is still affordable, the conditions are also in accordance with Bank Indonesia (BI) regulations and are under the supervision or supervision of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). In addition, there are also large investors, both individually and syndicated and in collaboration with banks that have made a financial technology (fintech) breakthrough in the form of providing online loan facilities or known to the public as "pinjol". This online loan is favored and utilized by people who need money quickly because the conditions are very easy, without collateral or collateral, and directly disbursed to the customer's bank account (borrower). Along with the development of online loans, there are also online loans that are not licensed and operate outside the stipulated provisions or often called illegal online loans. Based on the results of the research, these illegal online loans have mushroomed and operate in violation of criminal provisions and other applicable provisions such as the application of high interest rates, fraud, intimidating collection methods, and dissemination of personal data. If examined closely, the practice of illegal online lending is full of legal violations, especially criminal law, which makes its customers victims. Intimidation and the dissemination of personal data have caused suffering for customers caught up in illegal online loans, even causing someone in Jambi to commit suicide some time ago. This journal will discuss the various criminal offenses that occur in illegal online lending practices and the efforts that can be made to eradicate illegal online lending practices. The author hopes that this Journal can contribute ideas for lawmakers so that in the end a law regulating online loans can be created that provides justice, benefits, and legal certainty for the community, especially users of online loan services.

Optimization of the Integrated Security System Based on Traditional Villages (Sipandu Beradat) In The Framework of Preventing Motor Vehicle Theft in the Jurisdiction of the West Denpasar Police Station

Kevin Mario Immanuel, Mompang.L.Panggabean, Rospita Adelina Siregar — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Bali, as a premier tourist destination, has led to a high population density in Denpasar, increasing the risk of criminal activities, particularly motor vehicle theft (curanmor) in the West Denpasar jurisdiction. Effective policing efforts, including the implementation of the Integrated Security System Based on Traditional Villages (Sipandu Beradat), are needed to address this issue. However, due to the persistently high number of curanmor cases in the past three years, it is necessary to study the implementation and factors influencing the optimization of Sipandu Beradat. This study employs theories of cooperation, the Sipandu Beradat concept, policing science, management theory, crime prevention theory, and optimization concepts. The research is conducted using a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, involving interviews, observations, and document studies. Data analysis techniques include data reduction and data triangulation. The findings indicate that the Sipandu Beradat Forum has undertaken several efforts to prevent motor vehicle theft, such as joint patrols, socialization, inter-element communication, and regulation of incoming residents. However, these efforts have not been maximized due to several internal factors, including the lack of government-allocated funding and human resource constraints, as well as external factors such as environmental conditions and public vigilance. To optimize these efforts, it is necessary to secure funding, enhance personnel quality, and organize tasks and responsibilities more effectively. The conclusion of this study.

Legal Protection For Victims of Criminal Offense In The Perspective of Law Number 16 of 2011 on Legal Aid

Edi, Rospita Adelina Siregar — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research discusses legal protection for victims of criminal acts according to Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid. Although legal aid is very important and needed for victims of criminal acts, its application is still limited, especially litigation legal aid for victims, which results in many victims of criminal acts not getting legal aid assistance. The provisions in Law Number 16 of 2011 limit the provision of litigation legal aid only to suspects, defendants, and convicts, resulting in victims being neglected. This research aims to explore efforts to provide legal aid for victims based on Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid and the importance of legal protection assistance for victims of criminal acts.

Effectiveness Implementation of Fine Criminal Sanction in Extraordinary Events or Pandemic Outbreak According to the Law Number 17 of 2023 Concerning Health (Health Omnibus Law)

Renfred Valdemar, Rospita Adelina Siregar, Mompang L. Panggabean — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Pandemic outbreak is a non-natural disaster that is physically invisible and difficult to detect. Along with the experience and high death rate in Covid-19, it has encouraged the Government to issue Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health (Health Omnibus Law). Criminalization is the path chosen by the government as a form of state priority for the people in overcoming the spread and transmission of the pandemic outbreak. However, currently there is still a polemic about how legal action uses criminal sanctions during a pandemic. The study was conducted using a descriptive method, which aims to examine the effectiveness of the application of criminal sanctions for anyone who obstructs the implementation of efforts to control pandemic outbreak or violates health protocols. The results of this study indicate that Article 446 of Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health (Omnibus Law of Health) is the basis for criminalization for violators of the pandemic outbreak response, with the imposition of a maximum criminal fine of IDR 500,000,000 (Five hundred million Rupiah). With restrictions on movement accompanied by administrative sanctions alone, it has made the people's economy very difficult, especially if it is added to criminal fine. The sense of justice and legal certainty for the community is increasingly absent. The application of criminal sanctions should not be applied during a pandemic, because everyone has the right to maintain their own lives. This only adds to the suffering of people who do not agree with government policies by forcing them to follow health protocol rules that are contrary to their conscience.

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:08:17 +0700

Patient satisfaction is a key metric for evaluating healthcare quality and is particularly important for BPJS patients in hospitals. This study aims to investigate how various aspects of healthcare quality affect BPJS patient satisfaction by utilizing a literature review methodology. This study reviews previous research published in journals through the google scholar database within a certain year, which are relevant to the topic of service quality dimensions (such as tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy) and patient satisfaction. The review results show that all dimensions of service quality have a significant contribution to patient satisfaction levels, with assurance and responsiveness often being the most dominant factors. These findings emphasize the importance of improving service quality in all aspects to support BPJS patient satisfaction in hospitals. This literature review aims to serve as a resource for policy makers and hospital administrators in formulating strategies to improve service quality.

Literature Analysis on the Effectiveness of Referral Systems in Improving Access to Health Services

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:08:52 +0700

In Indonesia, the healthcare referral system has undergone a major shift from a conventional model to an integrated electronic system. Seven scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024 are the subject of this study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the electronic referral system in improving access to health services. The research results show that the implementation of electronic referral systems such as SISRUTE in the JKN BPJS Kesehatan program has improved the referral process and reduced patient waiting times. However, challenges such as limited technology infrastructure, labor shortages, the complexity of system interfaces, and fear of change still exist. Information quality, ease of use, management support, and data integration greatly influence system performance. The electronic referral system is essential for reducing maternal and infant mortality rates in delivery and maternal care services. Therefore, several important recommendations for the development of a referral system in Indonesia are continuous evaluation, increased employee capacity, strengthening regulations, and integration of health information systems.

ANALISIS FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KESADARAN KESELAMATAN DAN KESEHATAN KERJA (K3) PADA SISWA KELAS XII JURUSAN OTOMOTIF SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEJURUAN (SMK) NEGERI 3 GORONTALO

Regina Pratidina Mamonto, Herlina Jusuf, Ayu Rofia Nurfadillah — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:09:28 +0700

Awareness of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) behavior must be instilled from an early age. Vocational high schools (SMK) serve as one of the key institutions for introducing and fostering OHS awareness among students. Therefore, it is essential to provide proper education and implementation of OHS practices within the school environment. Several factors influence students' awareness of OHS at school, including knowledge, supervision (by teachers and the school), the availability of OHS facilities such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and access to OHS-related information. Students' awareness of OHS should be reflected in their attitudes and actions during practical activities, in order to prevent accidents, even those originating from basic sources or materials. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with OHS awareness among automotive students. The study employed a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all 46 Grade XII automotive students at SMK Negeri 3 Gorontalo, with a total sampling used for participant selection. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test.

The results showed that the variables significantly associated with OHS awareness were OHS knowledge (p=0.015), supervision (p=0.007), use of PPE (p=0.037), and sources of information (p=0.010). It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between OHS knowledge, supervision, PPE usage, and information sources with students' OHS awareness. It is recommended that students continue to enhance and implement their OHS knowledge, while schools should improve learning media, add references or textbooks related to OHS, and monitor student attitudes and actions during practical learning sessions.

The findings show that strategies such as thorough planning, strengthening human resources, implementation of Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS), and quality evaluation methods such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Kaizen (5R), and FMEA play a significant role in improving service quality. The application of international standards such as ISO 9001:2015, enhanced communication, and regular evaluations using quality indicators and the Balanced Scorecard also contribute substantially. In conclusion, a combination of integrated management strategies focused on continuous improvement has proven effective in creating optimal, efficient, and competitive hospital service quality.

LEGAL SCHOOLS IN ISLAM, HISTORY OF THE EMERGENCE OF LEGAL SCHOOLS, DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ABOUT THE POSITION OF LEGAL SOURCES

Ade Daharis, Salma, Muchlis Bahar — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:10:51 +0700

Differences of opinion among scholars in the fields of Islamic law actually occurred during the time of the Companions of the Prophet. However, these differences can still be overcome with political policies and the legality of ijmak. However, at the end of the Companion period, known as the Tabi'in period (approximately starting in 41 AH), differences of opinion could not be resolved like they were resolved during the Companion period. This is where the process of transitioning Islamic law began from a form of ijtihad which was based on the greatness of friends to a scientific and measurable process until the birth of school imams who codified the results of their legal thinking in the form of fiqh books. Ahl al-Hadith and Ahl al-ra'y are two forms of legal thought that ushered in this transition process. That period was the time when efforts to shape Islamic law began to suit societal conditions and rationality. The school of thought is the main idea or basis used by the mujtahid Imam in solving problems; or adhere to Islamic law. The emergence of the school of thought, as part of the historical process of establishing Islamic law, was neatly arranged from generations of friends, tabi'in, until it reached its golden age in the Abbasid Caliphate, but it must be acknowledged that the school of thought has made a major contribution to thinking in establishing Islamic jurisprudence law. The reasons for the differences opinion/school of thought due to differences in perception in ushul fiqh and fiqh as well as differences in interpretation or interpretation of mujtahids. Adhering to the understanding of bermahzab, due to factors Our "inability" to explore Sharia law itself directly from its sources (the Koran and Sunnah). The source of Islamic law is the most basic thing in the process of establishing a law. In Islam, the main sources of law are the Al-Quran and Sunnah.

Sexual Dysfunction in Schizophenia Patients

Yustika Izziyatu Anindita, Erikavitri Yulianti — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:13:10 +0700

Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a significant but often overlooked complication among patients with schizophrenia, with a global prevalence of 56.4%—55.7% in men and 60.0% in women. SD in this population is generally caused by both the symptoms of schizophrenia and the side effects of antipsychotic treatment, leading to diminished motivation for intimacy and potential disruption of marital relationships. Despite its impact on quality of life, SD remains underdiagnosed and stigmatized in clinical practice. This literature review aims to explore the general aspects of sexual dysfunction, its various types in patients with schizophrenia, and potential treatment strategies based on current clinical guidelines and considerations. The review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. Findings show that the global incidence of sexual dysfunction among schizophrenia patients increased by over 65% between 1990 and 2019, affecting an estimated 941,000 to 1.3 million individuals, primarily due to antipsychotic use. Management strategies include reducing antipsychotic dosages or switching to prolactin-sparing medications, with aripiprazole being the most frequently recommended option.

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional value, social value, and price value on the decision to use NICE Bus transportation on the Kualanamu Airport – Millenium Plaza (Helvetia) route. Safe, comfortable, and affordable public transportation is an essential need for the community to support daily activities. However, the utilization of the NICE Bus is still not optimal due to varying perceptions regarding the emotional, social, and price aspects offered. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 90 respondents who are NICE Bus users. The independent variables in this study are emotional value, social value, and price value, while the dependent variable is the usage decision. The data analysis technique uses multiple linear regression to test the simultaneous and partial influence of the three independent variables on the usage decision. The results of the study show that emotional value has a significant influence on the usage decision, particularly in terms of comfort and emotional satisfaction when using the NICE Bus. Social value also has a significant influence, especially regarding ease of access and travel efficiency perceived by passengers. Price value is proven to have a significant influence, indicating that affordable ticket prices that match the provided facilities are an important consideration in the usage decision. This study provides practical contributions for NICE Bus management in developing customer satisfaction-oriented marketing strategies to increase passenger volume and ensure the sustainability of transportation services.

“The Implementation of Project Based Learning Model in CAD/CAM Instruction to Improve Learning Outcomes of Mechanical Engineering Students”

Feby Indayani, Mulyana, Zumrotul Avifa Kasjib, Nirmala Dewi — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 10:12:21 +0700

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in the CAD/CAM course to improve the learning outcomes of Mechanical Engineering students at Universitas Tomakaka. Using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design, the study involved 60 fourth-semester students divided equally into an experimental group taught with PjBL and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through cognitive tests, project assessments, and affective rubrics, then analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, independent t-tests, and N-Gain scores.
The findings showed that the experimental group experienced significant improvement in cognitive learning outcomes, with higher posttest scores and moderate to high N-Gain values, compared to the control group, which demonstrated only low improvement. Psychomotor outcomes also revealed a strong positive effect, with the PjBL group outperforming the control group in 3D modeling accuracy, design quality, and software utilization. Furthermore, affective outcomes highlighted that the experimental group exhibited greater teamwork, communication, and participation, supported by significant statistical differences.
These results confirm that PjBL is an effective learning model that enhances not only cognitive and technical competencies but also essential soft skills required by the engineering profession. The integration of PjBL in CAD/CAM courses provides a holistic learning experience that prepares students to face the challenges of Industry 4.0. This study recommends broader implementation of PjBL in technical education, supported by adequate facilities and collaboration with industry to ensure the relevance and sustainability of project-based curricula.
