Praktik Peradilan dan Kesetaraan Gender: Analisis Implementasi PERMA No. 3 Tahun 2017 di Pengadilan Syariah Banda Aceh, Indonesia

Discriminatory treatment and gender stereotypes against women in the justice system are directly related to women's accessibility to justice. The more women experience discrimination and negative stereotypes, the more limited their access to justice becomes. The implementation of Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 3 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Cases Involving Women in Conflict with the Law has not been effectively carried out. For instance, some judges in the trial process have not adhered to the guidelines set out in PERMA No. 3 of 2017. In reality, there are still judges who make belittling, blaming, intimidating statements, and use loud voices against women in conflict with the law, which can undermine women's mentality in court. In response to these conditions, the Supreme Court, as the highest judicial institution in Indonesia, has initiated steps to gradually eliminate discriminatory treatment against women in conflict with the law in judicial practices in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the efforts made by judges in implementing PERMA No. 3 of 2017 at the Banda Aceh Sharia Court and to explore the perspectives of Sharia Court judges regarding the implementation of PERMA No. 3 of 2017. The research uses a qualitative method with a field research approach. This study indicates that there are still challenges in implementing PERMA No. 3 of 2017 at the Banda Aceh Sharia Court. However, efforts are being made to reduce discrimination and negative stereotypes against women in conflict with the law. This research contributes to providing insights into the importance of implementing guidelines to reduce discriminatory treatment and offering recommendations to improve the effectiveness of PERMA No. 3 of 2017 in addressing gender discrimination issues in Indonesian courts.

The Impact of Comorbidities On Pain Severity in Patients With Low Back Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study

The quality of life for people who suffer from low back pain (LBP) is significantly reduced, making it a major worldwide health concern. Patients with LBP frequently have comorbid diseases like hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which can exacerbate pain and make therapy more difficult. The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between comorbidities and the incidence of LBP in patients who visit the RSUDZA Banda Aceh Neurology Outpatient Clinic. In this study, 237 LBP patients from the Neurology Outpatient Clinic at RSUDZA were selected using a cross-sectional methodology between 12 April to May 2023. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Modified Self-Administered Comorbidity Questionnaire (MSACQ) were used to gather data. The association between comorbidities and the incidence of LBP was examined using the chi-square test. The most prevalent comorbid conditions among the 237 responders were hypertension and hyperlipidemia, with 161 people (67.9%) having comorbidities. Mild pain was experienced by 87.8% of patients. Comorbid conditions had a substantial impact on the severity of pain in patients with LBP, according to the chi-square test, which revealed a strong correlation between comorbidities and the occurrence of LBP (p-value = 0.000). This study suggests a strong correlation between comorbidities and LBP incidence. In relation to LBP, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are the most prevalent comorbidities. To enhance treatment results and patients' quality of life, a comprehensive strategy to managing LBP is required, taking into account both the pain and any concomitant conditions.

The attitude of medical students, resident doctors, and nurses toward people with epilepsy: A multi-centre study.

The rising incidence of epilepsy has not been accompanied by sufficient public education, contributing to persistent social stigma towards people with epilepsy. This stigma leads to their exclusion and discrimination in key areas such as employment, education, and social interactions, ultimately diminishing their quality of life. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of medical students, resident doctors, and nurses toward people with epilepsy in three large cities in Indonesia. A cross-sectional multi-centre study was conducted in Jakarta, Manado, and Banda Aceh between June 2020 to January 2021 in three tertiary hospitals. Subjects were medical students, resident doctors, and nurses, aged over 18years, with no known history of epilepsy. Sociodemographic characteristics were recorded, and attitude was assessed using the validated Indonesian version of the Public Attitudes Toward Epilepsy questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis with post-hoc pairwise Mann-Whitney U comparison. The findings revealed that most respondents held positive attitudes in both the general and personal domains. However, negative perceptions persisted on more personal topics, particularly regarding dating and marriage with people who have epilepsy. Sociodemographic characteristics that correlated with attitudes toward individuals with epilepsy included centre, sex, educational level, occupation, and ethnicity. Despite overall positive attitudes, certain stigmatizing beliefs remain, particularly in personal areas such as marriage and relationships. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to address persistent misconceptions and reduce stigma, ultimately improving the social inclusion and quality of life for people with epilepsy in Indonesia.

Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Quality of Life of Knee Osteoarthritis in Urban Community in Indonesia: A COPCORD Study.

This study evaluates the prevalence, risk factors, and quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the Indonesian population. A cross-sectional study of 3597 adults (≥ 18 years old) was conducted in 2023 involving 15 different cities in Indonesia. Knee OA was classified according to the clinical ACR criteria. The COPCORD questionnaire was used for all subjects. The quality of life (QoL) was assessed using the WOMAC score. The prevalence of knee OA was 15.0%. Banda Aceh has the highest prevalence of knee OA at 70.79%, whereas Bandung has the lowest (4.18%)-the odds of having knee OA increased with age. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) were 5.01 (95% CI 2.47-10.15, p < 0.001) for participants aged 40-49 years and 72.19 (95% CI 36.32-143.51, p < 0.001) for participants aged 70 years or over, compared to participants under 40 years. Knee OA was higher among female participants (aOR = 1.91; 95% CI 1.53-2.39, p < 0.001). Married and divorced participants had higher odds of having knee OA compared to those who never married (aORs 2.56 (95% CI 1.37-4.77, p = 0.003) and 2.40 (95% CI 1.23-4.68, p < 0.010), respectively). Knee OA is less likely found among participants with elementary school education background (aOR 0.37; 95% CI 0.22-0.64, p < 0.001) and those with senior high school (aOR 0.49; 95% CI 0.29-0.83, p = 0.007). The total WOMAC score was 25.9 ± 18.7 from all participants, indicating moderate impairment in QoL. The prevalence of knee OA in several urban districts in Indonesia was 15.0%, with most patients having moderate impairment in QoL. Several sociodemographic factors were associated with the odds of having knee OA.

Livelihood Assets and Households Vulnerability toward Food Commodity Price: An Evidence from Post-Disaster Community in Banda Aceh

The recovery process following the 2004 mega-disaster and the Covid-19 pandemic have significant implications for the dynamics of change and community resilience in Banda Aceh. A resilient community is characterized by the ability to adapt to various threat risks, including volatile market conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate livelihood assets in Banda Aceh and the influence on households vulnerability to fluctuation in the market price of food commodity. To achieve this objective, the study used a questionnaire survey method with 560 household heads as the unit of analysis spread across 28 villages in Banda Aceh. Furthermore, data were analyzed using a descriptive method to calculate livelihood assets and vulnerability index, along with multiple linear regression to analyze the effect of livelihood capital on vulnerability. The results showed that the condition of human and financial capital was still weak compared to social and physical capital. Households also had a high level of vulnerability to fluctuation in food prices. Statistically, human, financial, and social capital had a significant effect on households vulnerability. This study showed the importance of fostering both human and financial capital at the households level to improvequality of life and economic resilience. There were also needs for initiatives to improve social networks as a means of adapting to unexpected events.

LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE BUR'AM TRADITIONAL MUSIC COMMUNITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC ECONOMIC LAW

This research aims to analyse the form of dispute and settlement over the similarity of the name and quality of the Bur'am Banda Aceh Traditional Music Community, as well as the legal certainty of the Community's name rights in the perspective of haq ibtikar. Bur'am Music Community, which was first established in Banda Aceh, has become an icon of Acehnese traditional art through the use of rapai instruments. However, the name Bur'am is also used by other communities in various regions, such as Bireuen, Sabang, and Yogyakarta, raising concerns regarding the clarity of the origin and original creator of this community. The research approach used is empirical juridical with a descriptive type of analysis and data collected through interviews and documentation. The results show that name similarity disputes can be resolved through mediation by emphasising the history of the establishment and the identity of the founders. If mediation is fruitless, registration of the name Bur'am as a copyright or trademark becomes a necessary legal step to provide exclusive protection to the name. From the perspective of haq ibtikar, the name Bur'am meets the criteria of originality, creativity, and usefulness and thus deserves to be recognised as intellectual property equivalent to property in Islamic law. This recognition supports the preservation of Acehnese traditional arts and prevents potential conflicts in the future. The legal protection of the Bur'am name not only protects the rights of the creator but also ensures the authenticity and identity of Acehnese traditional art as a valuable cultural heritage.

PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP TRANSAKSI JUAL-BELI YANG DILAKUKAN OLEH ANAK DIBAWAH UMUR DI KOTA BANDA ACEH

The phenomenon of minors involved in buying and selling transactions in Banda Aceh City is a complex issue influenced by economic, educational, socio-cultural factors, as well as weaknesses in regulation and law enforcement. This research aims to analyze the factors causing this phenomenon and view it from the perspective of Islamic law and Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. In Islamic law, a child who has not reached the age of maturity is considered not qualified to engage in valid transactions without the supervision of a guardian. Meanwhile, labor regulations in Indonesia prohibit minors from working except under certain conditions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical research type. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation methods, supported by secondary data from the literature. The research results show that poverty, low parental education, social norms, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are dominant factors driving children to work in the informal sector. In Islamic law, small transactions conducted by children are considered valid if they meet the principles of justice and basic needs without exploitation. However, high-value transactions require guardian supervision to ensure validity. This research recommends the need for strict supervision, community education, and consistent law enforcement to protect children's rights in accordance with Islamic law and legislation.

Community's Willingness to Participate in Wastewater Management in Aceh

Communal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been established in the Province of Aceh, mostly in Banda Aceh City as the capital and other parts of the province, to address significant environmental risks posed by wastewater originating from domestic activities. However, limited coverage, poor effluent quality, and insufficient community involvement persist. This research assesses public participation and willingness to engage in wastewater management practices. A quantitative survey was conducted with 148 Banda Aceh and Aceh Barat respondents, selected through multi-stage random sampling. The first stage in respondent selection is based on area. Banda Aceh City, the provincial capital, was chosen as the initial location for the respondents’ residence, followed by Meulaboh as the regency capital. The second stage involves respondents who have household businesses (which generate domestic waste, in this case, owners of laundry and vehicle washing businesses) and those who do not have businesses. The survey explored respondents' perceptions of environmental pollution, awareness of wastewater regulations, and their readiness to participate in management efforts. The findings reveal that 77.7% of respondents are willing to join in wastewater management initiatives, with 52.21% expressing a willingness to attend community meetings and 18.14% agreeing to pay fees for communal WWTP services. Key factors influencing participation include awareness of environmental issues, positive perceptions of communal WWTPs, and the belief that the government should provide wastewater treatment infrastructure. The study concludes that increasing public awareness and involving communities in policy formulation is crucial for improving wastewater management in Aceh. These insights can guide local governments in developing effective regulations and fostering sustainable community engagement in environmental protection efforts, potentially leading to a healthier and more sustainable environment for the people of Aceh.

Effectiveness of Block Programming and Quarky Robots to Improve Computational Abilities Thinking through the STEMC Approach

The results of PISA 2022 show that Indonesian students are still weak in science literacy, mathematics, and technology-based problem solving, which are the basis for developing computational thinking (CT) skills. CT includes four primary indicators: decomposition to break down significant problems into smaller parts, pattern recognition to find similarities in data, abstraction to filter out irrelevant information, and algorithms to design systematic steps in solving problems. There are many ways to train CT, so this study uses block programming and the Quarky robot. This approach was chosen because it is visual and interactive and makes it easier to apply CT concepts practically, making it suitable for building 21st-century skills. The study was conducted in two high schools in Banda Aceh, involving 20 students from school A and 26 students from school B. Students were divided into two study groups in each school. Learning activities were designed based on STEMC in the form of Student Worksheets (LKPD), which include interactive learning scenarios, block programming challenges, and exploration of the Quarky robot's functions to solve real problems. The activities were arranged in stages, from a basic introduction to applying CT concepts in solving complex problems. The results showed a significant increase in students' CT abilities, especially in the algorithm indicator. Although both schools progressed, school B recorded higher growth, with better pre-test and post-test results than school A. This shows that block programming-based learning and Quarky robots effectively improve CT skills, which is essential in 21st-century education

Millennial Generation's Understanding of the Meaning of Kafa’ah : An Analysis in the City of Banda Aceh

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Islam shows great concern for the welfare of the family. In forming a family, prior to marriage, the prospective husband and wife should know each other's partners.
