Abstract:The discourse on casino legalization in Indonesia arises as a response to the widespread illegal gambling that remains difficult to eradicate despite being prohibited under the Criminal Code (KUHP), Law No. 7 of 1974, and…
d the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE). The gap between legal norms (das sollen) and social reality (das sein) shows that prohibition alone has not been effective. This research uses a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach based on legislation and a comparative approach, particularly examining Malaysia and Singapore, which have successfully managed casinos through strict regulations. The findings indicate that casino legalization in Indonesia could serve as an alternative fiscal policy, provided that clear regulations are established, ensuring economic benefits such as increased state revenue and effective control over illegal gambling, without undermining national morals and values.
Abstract:The rapid advancement of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the twenty-first century has fundamentally transformed the structure of modern constitutional governance. Digitalization has reshaped the interactions…
teractions between governments and citizens, altered the patterns of political participation, and presented major challenges to constitutional principles. This study aims to analyze the implications of technological development for constitutional law and propose the concept of a digital constitution as an adaptive framework in the AI era. This study employs a normative legal method, using both conceptual and statutory approaches. Legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, which are analyzed qualitatively and descriptively. The findings reveal that, while digital transformation enhances governmental efficiency and public transparency, it also generates serious risks, including data misuse, digital surveillance, and political disinformation. These dynamics demand a reinterpretation of constitutional norms to protect citizens' digital rights in cyberspace. The concept of a digital constitution is proposed as a normative response that integrates digital rights into constitutional rights and reaffirms the principle of the rule of law within technological governance. To achieve a democratic and just constitutional order, it is crucial to strengthen regulatory frameworks, ensure algorithmic accountability, and foster collaboration among state institutions, civil society, and the private sector. Ultimately, constitutional law must evolve into an adaptive, transparent, and fair system that can address the profound challenges of the digital and AI-driven era.
Abstract:This study critically examines the constitutionality of Indonesia’s presidential candidacy threshold under Article 222 of Law No. 7 of 2017 in relation to the principle of popular sovereignty in Article 1(2) of the 1945…
5 Constitution. The threshold requiring a party or coalition to hold 20% of DPR seats or 25% of the popular vote has been controversial for limiting voter choice and reinforcing oligarchic dominance. Using a normative legal research method, the study applies doctrinal interpretation through grammatical, systematic, historical, and teleological approaches to evaluate whether the threshold is consistent with constitutional democracy. The analysis identifies a disconnect between the legislative rule and the constitutional concept of sovereignty residing with the people, informed by theories of democracy, sovereignty, and progressive legal thought. While procedurally legitimate, the threshold lacks substantive constitutional validity because of its exclusionary impact on political participation. The study proposes four reform options: repeal, proportional adjustment, judicial reinterpretation, and constitutional amendment. These reforms would realign electoral rules with democratic principles and restore voters’ political agency. A doctrinal reinterpretation model is offered, framing the threshold as a regulatory instrument rather than a rigid barrier, advocating a legal structure that promotes inclusivity and reflects the people’s general will.

secara mendalam bagaimana emosi dan belajar sosial memengaruhi proses pembelajaran di sekolah dasar melalui perspektif neuropedagogik dan brain‑based learning. A mixed methods approach was used by combining quantitative analysis (meta-analysis of 173 respondents and 47 indicators of NP, EC, OB, MS, BS) and descriptive qualitative analysis using thematic analysis techniques on semi-structured interviews with five elementary school teachers. The meta-analysis results showed a very strong average effect of the latent construct relationship (t(128) = 12.92; p < 0.001; r ≈ 1.00) with almost zero heterogeneity (Qₑ(128) = 1.67; τ² = 0; I² = 0%), and no significant moderating effects were found for all indicators; the partial meta-regression coefficients for all items were very close to zero and the R² value was 0.000. Qualitatively, three main themes emerged: (1) positive emotions as the foundation of learning readiness, (2) social interaction as a reinforcement of meaning formation, and (3) contextual learning that integrates cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions. Although most teachers have not yet mastered the concepts of neuropedagogy and brain-based learning theoretically, they have intuitively implemented its principles through motivation, praise, humor, group work, collaborative projects, and learning experiences relevant to students' real lives. These findings support the latest theory that places emotions and social interactions as the main drivers of brain function in learning (Immordino Yang, 2016; Tyng et al., 2017; Vygotsky, 1978; Jensen, 2008), and emphasizes the importance of strengthening teachers' competence in understanding and designing brain- and emotion-based learning to support the holistic development of elementary school students.

en remains teacher-centered, verbalistic, and insufficient in promoting meaningful scientific literacy. In response to these challenges, neuroscience provides a theoretical and empirical foundation for designing learning media that align with how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves information. This study aims to systematically examine the integration of neuroscience principles into science learning media and their effects on elementary students' scientific literacy. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the PICO framework (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). Relevant peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024 were retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, ERIC, and DOAJ databases. The review followed four stages: identification, selection, quality appraisal, and thematic synthesis. The results indicate that neuroscience-based interventions—such as Augmented Reality (AR), Brain-Based Learning (BBL), interactive multimedia, and multisensory instructional strategies—consistently improve students' motivation, attention, conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and scientific literacy compared to conventional instructional approaches. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic synthesis of neuroscience-based science learning media through a PICO-oriented framework, highlighting the interaction between cognitive, affective, and technological dimensions of learning. The findings provide important implications for science education, particularly in guiding the development of neuroscience-informed learning media and instructional designs to enhance scientific literacy in elementary schools.
Abstract:Justice collaborators, or "crown witnesses," have become essential in modern criminal justice systems, particularly in dismantling organized crime and uncovering complex murder cases. This study explores the legal protections…
tions afforded to justice collaborators in Indonesia through a doctrinal analysis of the Supreme Court Decision No. 1704 K/PID.SUS/2022, commonly known as the Richard Eliezer verdict. The objective is to critically examine the adequacy and application of legal safeguards provided to individuals who cooperate with law enforcement while implicated in serious crimes. Employing normative legal research methods and a statutory and case approach, the paper reveals discrepancies in the implementation of protections for justice collaborators. While the Indonesian Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) offers procedural protections, this analysis identifies significant gaps in enforcement, judicial interpretation, and institutional coordination. The findings underscore a need for stronger legislative frameworks and consistent judicial standards to uphold the rights and safety of justice collaborators. The implications extend to criminal law reform and the balancing of retributive justice with restorative mechanisms. This study contributes to the legal discourse on human rights protections in criminal procedure, particularly concerning vulnerable individuals assisting the justice system under duress or threat.
Abstract:This study aims to construct an integrated constellation model and determine optimal strategies for reinforcing lecturers’ professional commitment at leading private universities in Bogor. Utilizing the POP-SDM (Modeling…
ng and Optimization of Management Resources) framework, the research integrates elements of local wisdom and organizational support within a systemic approach to human resource development. The exploratory qualitative phase involved in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to uncover major determinants influencing professional commitment. From the thematic analysis, four principal variables emerged—teamwork, organizational climate, religiosity, and work motivation—which were validated through expert judgment. Quantitative verification was subsequently performed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique to examine both direct and indirect relationships among constructs. The analysis confirmed that all variables exert positive and significant effects on lecturers’ professional commitment, with work motivation being the most dominant factor. To refine improvement priorities, the SITOREM (Scientific Identification Theory for Conducting Operational Research in Educational Management) method was applied, identifying indicators that should be improved, maintained, or further developed. The findings offer empirical and practical insights, including: (1) a validated POP-SDM–based commitment model combining cultural and organizational dimensions; (2) evidence-based strategies to enhance lecturer professionalism; and (3) an optimization framework to guide sustainable lecturer development in higher education institutions.
Abstract:Freight forwarding agreements in Indonesia frequently contain exoneration clauses that exempt logistics providers from liability for loss or damage, raising serious concerns regarding consumer protection. While such clauses…
ses are designed to manage contractual risk, they often conflict with the principles enshrined in Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection (UUPK), particularly those ensuring fairness, good faith, and legal accountability. This study investigates the legality and ethical implications of exoneration clauses within standard-form freight forwarding contracts used by companies such as JNE, TIKI, and SiCepat. Employing a doctrinal legal research methodology, the study integrates statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches to analyze primary legislation, judicial decisions, and relevant legal doctrines. It critically evaluates the use of these clauses in light of consumer rights, contract theory, and the economic impact on service quality. Findings reveal that exoneration clauses not only contravene the UUPK but also create systemic contractual imbalances due to the lack of negotiation opportunities and transparency. The study proposes a normative legal framework for reform, including clause classification, interactive consent mechanisms, and regulatory enforcement to ensure contractual fairness. This research contributes to both legal scholarship and policy development by highlighting the urgent need for doctrinal clarity and regulatory oversight in Indonesia's logistics sector.

aikan tunjangan DPR dan menimbulkan eskalasi berupa kerusuhan, penyerbuan gedung DPRD, serta pembakaran fasilitas publik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi gaya komunikasi pejabat—baik defensif, teknokratis, maupun akomodatif—serta mengkaji dampaknya terhadap persepsi publik dan mobilisasi aksi massa. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode analisis wacana kritis (Critical Discourse Analysis), berdasarkan pernyataan pejabat di media, konferensi pers, dan unggahan media sosial, yang kemudian dipadukan dengan respons publik melalui media digital. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gaya komunikasi defensif dan teknokratis memperparah ketidakpercayaan publik, sementara respons akomodatif pemerintah datang terlambat dan gagal meredam eskalasi. Media sosial terbukti memainkan peran strategis sebagai arena counter-narrative yang mempercepat delegitimasi komunikasi elit, dengan memobilisasi solidaritas digital menjadi aksi nyata di jalanan. Nilai kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis integratif antara gaya komunikasi pejabat, dinamika digital, dan eskalasi demonstrasi kontemporer. Implikasi penelitian menunjukkan perlunya model komunikasi pejabat publik yang lebih transparan, empatik, dan partisipatif dalam menghadapi krisis demi menjaga legitimasi politik dan stabilitas sosial.
Abstract:Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh Kualitas Layanan E-Learning (ELSQ) terhadap loyalitas mahasiswa, yang dimediasi oleh kepuasan mahasiswa dan dimoderasi oleh nilai yang dirasakan, dalam konteks Program Magister Manajemen…
Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (MMPJJ) di Universitas Telkom. Menggunakan desain kuantitatif kausal, data dikumpulkan dari 126 mahasiswa melalui kuesioner skala Likert online. Alat ukur menunjukkan validitas dan reliabilitas yang kuat (faktor beban > 0,70; Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.80). Analisis dilakukan dengan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) menggunakan SmartPLS. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ELSQ secara signifikan mempengaruhi kepuasan mahasiswa (β = 0.565, p < 0.001) dan loyalitas mahasiswa (β = 0.234, p = 0.025). Kepuasan mahasiswa secara kuat mempengaruhi loyalitas (β = 0.572, p < 0.001) dan bertindak sebagai mediator dalam hubungan antara ELSQ dan loyalitas (β = 0.329, p < 0.001). Nilai yang dirasakan memoderasi hubungan antara ELSQ dan kepuasan (β = 0.323, p < 0.001), menunjukkan bahwa nilai yang dirasakan yang lebih tinggi memperkuat kepuasan. Model ini mencapai daya penjelas moderat (R² = 0.580 untuk loyalitas; R² = 0.619 untuk kepuasan) dan relevansi prediktif yang kuat (Q² > 0.35). Temuan menyoroti kebutuhan akan perbaikan berkelanjutan dalam kualitas sistem, kompetensi instruktur, materi kursus, dan dukungan administratif untuk meningkatkan kepuasan dan memupuk loyalitas dalam program online sepenuhnya. Studi ini memperluas pemahaman teoretis tentang hubungan kualitas layanan–loyalitas dengan mengonfirmasi peran mediasi kepuasan dan peran moderasi nilai yang dirasakan, memberikan wawasan praktis untuk manajemen kualitas dalam pendidikan tinggi online.
