Regulation of People's Economy in Regions Based on Pancasila and Reflexive Law Theory

Pancasila serves as a fundamental normative framework encompassing politics, economics, and culture. Reflexive law functions as a coordination system for actions within semi-autonomous social sub-systems during transitional periods. This study aims to analyze the regulation of the populist economy within the context of Pancasila and reflexive legal theory. The research methodology is normative, employing a conceptual approach. The primary finding indicates that Pancasila must be embraced as a way of life, deeply embedded in the national consciousness, spirit, and ethos, and reflected in thoughts, attitudes, and actions related to the populist economy. Furthermore, the dissemination of Pancasila's understanding is essential, particularly in regions of Indonesia that have not yet established regulations on modern retail restrictions. It is imperative for government officials, especially those at the regional level such as members of the Regional House of Representatives, Regional Heads, and strategic policymakers, to thoroughly comprehend Pancasila grounded in a populist economy when formulating policies based on Pancasila. Additionally, the government can enhance its preparedness by aligning with Gunther Teubner's perspectives on harmonizing modern law with public interests. Teubner argues that to improve public welfare and address the crisis of formal rationality, the law needs to be rematerialized. This rematerialization of law depends on the application of reflexive law as a coordination mechanism within and among semi-autonomous social subsystems. In the Indonesian context, this approach aligns with the values of Pancasila and the concept of Economic Democracy.

The limitation of this research was that it only involved employees of the PT Asuransi Sinar Mas insurance office in all regions of Indonesia, so the generalization of the results of the research could not be conducted.

Disparitas Desentralisasi; Konsepsi Otonomi Daerah Khusus Ibukota terhadap Sistem Ketatanegaraan Indonesia

Regional autonomy and autonomous regions in Indonesia are affirmed in Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution, providing the constitutional basis for the regional governance system. Ideally, regional autonomy enables regions to independently and effectively manage their governmental affairs. However, in reality, there is a discrepancy (disparity) between theory and practice, particularly in the context of the Special Autonomous Region of the Capital City. This study is a literature-based research with a qualitative approach, employing normative juridical methodology. The study concludes that the establishment of the Special Autonomous Region of the Capital City should first comply with the provisions of Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution, and only then consider Article 18B, especially in the context of relocating the capital city to East Kalimantan. Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution emphasizes the "principle of autonomy" in regional governance, particularly for special regions like the Special Autonomous Region of the Capital City. The formation of the Special Autonomous Region of the Capital City must align with the requirements of Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution before considering Article 18B, particularly in the context of the capital relocation plan.

The Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Helminth Parasites from Beef Cattle on Sumedang Regency, Indonesia

Abstract Gastrointestinal parasites are common parasitic agents of cattle across the world, causing both clinical and subclinical parasitism that causes massive financial losses. The aim of this research was to assess the prevalence and risk factors for Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) parasites in cattle in Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Between October and November 2022, 105 cattle had been chosen at random. The sex, breed, age, frequent deworming, cleaning frequency, and management system of each beef cattle were recorded. Fecal samples were obtained through rectum from the selected animals and submitted to flotation and sedimentation procedures. Overall, the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites was 47.62% (95% CI = 0.3791−0.5733). Strongyle-type eggs (STE), Strongyloides spp., Trichuris sp., Moniezia spp., Fasciola sp., and Paramphistomum sp. ova were found. 38.09% of the total samples were positive for Strongyle eggs infection and commonly seen in single infections, followed by Eimeria spp. infection. Mixed infections were found in 25 cattle, with double to multiple parasite infections. As a result, it was determined that beef cattle in Sumedang Regency in Indonesia were infected with a variety of gastrointestinal helminth parasites. Thus, frequent anthelmintic treatment, excellent management techniques, and public education about helminth parasites are critical.

Exploring relational aggression and gender dynamics: a global and Indonesian perspective

Girls generally use less physical aggression than boys. However, does this mean that girls are more likely to use relational aggression. With this question in mind, our study aims to analyze the relational aggression of students in Indonesia based on gender. This type of research used is comparative research. The sample in this study was 510 respondents consisting of 19.6% male and 80.4% female. The relational aggression scale (RAS) was used to collect data on student relational aggression in various regions in Indonesia. The analysis technique used is descriptive and differences with the Welch test. The results show that there are significant differences in male and female relational aggression, with an average score difference of -0.30 logit between men and women. In addition, there are fluctuations in the level of relational aggression in the context of gender from year to year in some countries, such as the United States, China, Australia, and others. Recommendations for future research are to integrate a more in-depth social and cultural analysis in Indonesia.

Evaluation of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) precipitation forecast performance from NMME-2 over Indonesia

Abstract Global Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) precipitation forecast was known to bridge the gap between weather and seasonal forecast, can be utilized as supporting information for decision-making related to hydrometeorological disaster mitigation activities. However, uncertainty in global models caused forecast performance can be different across regions and time periods. Therefore, it is important to evaluate forecast performance before utilizing the prediction result in any region. In this study, performance of probabilistic precipitation forecast from Multi-model Ensemble (MME) of three models in The North American Multi-Model Ensemble phase 2 (NMME-2) project was evaluated in Indonesia region based on two evaluation metrics: continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) and reliability diagram. The evaluation was conducted during the boreal summer (May–October) and boreal winter (November–April) periods, as well as during the active period of subseasonal climate variability phenomenon Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Our result shows that S2S precipitation forecast from MME of CFSv2, CanCM4 and GEOS5 models are sufficiently accurate and reliable during the boreal summer period for Central Sumatra, Southern Sumatra, Southern Kalimantan, Java, Southern Sulawesi, and Southern Papua regions, with a range of CRPS values between 4-16 mm/7 days and a ‘perfect’ reliability category. There is no notable distinction in the performance of S2S precipitation forecast between the active and inactive events of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). The difference in CRPS values between these two periods is only around 0.8-1.2 mm/7 days, and there is no difference in reliability categories across Indonesia as a whole, nor significant spatial pattern differences.

Security Guarantee Midwife in Conflict Areas

The background of this research is that health services are a state obligation as mandated by the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945. These services must be distributed evenly across all regions of Indonesia, not just focused on the island of Java. Indonesia includes 3T areas (Disadvantaged, Frontier, Outermost) which face numerous issues, one of which is social conflict. These areas are particularly prone to social conflict, which can hinder the delivery of health services provided by the state. As part of the health service assistance, the state deploys health workers according to the Ministry of Health's Nusantara Sehat program, including midwives. In some 3T areas, social conflict poses threats to midwives, sometimes resulting in their injury or death. Therefore, ensuring the safety of midwives is crucial for improving health services throughout Indonesia and protecting the rights of midwives working in these regions. This research aims to explore, understand, and explain the security guarantees for midwives in 3T areas experiencing social conflict. The research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The findings indicate that current laws and regulations do not clearly define the security guarantees that midwives should receive when working in conflict zones.

Klasterisasi Kabupaten/Kota di Provinsi Papua Berdasarkan Indikator Pembangunan Manusia Tahun 2022

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a human development metric empowered by several main elements that reflect the quality of life, namely HLS, RLS, PKK, and UHH. High HDI is one of the basic capital for a country's sustainable development. The improvement of human development in Indonesia continues to increase every year. However, there is still uneven development between regions in Indonesia. The HDI of Papua Province has always been the lowest in Indonesia in the last 10 years and each indicator is still unevenly distributed between districts/cities. This needs to be a special concern by the government. Thus, this study was carried out with the aim of grouping districts / cities in Papua Province based on human development indicators with the application of the agglomerative hierarchy cluster method. Based on the highest correlation value, Average Linkage is the best method with the optimal number of clusters formed is five clusters (Very High, High, Medium, Low, and Very Low) according to the Calinski-Harabasz Index test conducted. The findings of this study can be the basis for designing equitable development policies in districts/cities in Papua Province.

The role of mobile broadband in poverty alleviation: a comparison of the effects of 3G and 4G network expansion in underdeveloped regions of Indonesia

ABSTRACT Alleviating poverty remains a significant global challenge necessitating effective interventions. While Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is widely acknowledged as a contemporary solution for addressing socioeconomic issues, the impact of supply-side factors, notably mobile broadband expansion, remains uncertain. Our study bridges this gap by analyzing the effects of 3G and 4G coverage on poverty rates and gaps in 109 underdeveloped regions in Indonesia from 2017–2021. Through quantitative analysis and map charts, we ascertain that increased 3G and 4G coverage is associated with decreased poverty rates and gaps. Specifically, a 1 percent rise in 3G coverage corresponds to a 0.019 percent decrease in poverty rates and a 0.011 point reduction in the poverty gap. Similarly, a 1 percent increase in 4G coverage reduces poverty rates by 0.009 percent and the poverty gap by 0.004 points. These findings offer valuable theoretical and practical insights to inform future research and policy initiatives.

Validation of the Interpersonal Forgiveness Indonesian Scale: An examination of its psychometric properties using confirmatory factor analysis

In recent years, research has highlighted the essential role of forgiveness in fostering interpersonal relationships and preserving social harmony. However, more precise measurement methods are necessary, particularly in the Indonesian context. The purpose of this study was to develop the Interpersonal Forgiveness Indonesian Scale. The investigation rigorously explores the construct by implementing confirmatory factor analysis. To evaluate the instrument's reliability, we used McDonald's omega coefficient. This study included 549 adults aged 18 to 35 from Yogyakarta, with a mean age of 23.09, including 258 males and 291 females. The loading values for revenge and avoidance factors were .724 to .841 and .796 to .845, respectively; while benevolence varied more, ranging from .538 to .824. The McDonald's omega value of .953 indicated excellent reliability. Robust correlations between the items and factors on the Interpersonal Forgiveness Indonesian Scale demonstrate its effectiveness and relevance in Indonesia. Future research should explore the dynamics of interpersonal forgiveness across diverse regions in Indonesia to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon within distinct cultural contexts.
