VOLUME GAINS, MARGIN COSTS: PANEL EVIDENCE ON THE COMPOSITION EFFECTS OF A UNIFORM SALES INCENTIVE IN B2B LIGHTING DISTRIBUTION

Syarippudin, Syarippudin, Hasbi, Imanuddin, Hidayat, Agus Maolana
Abstract: Direct incentive programs from a brand manufacturer to a distributor's sales force are uncommon in the Indonesian B2B lighting sector, and their consequences for portfolio composition and distributor profitability have not… ot been empirically tested. This study examines whether a flat 3 percent quarterly bonus, applied uniformly across a portfolio of more than three hundred products spanning a 600-fold price range, produces unintended consequences beyond its stated goal of volume growth. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design is used. The quantitative phase analyses 781 product-quarter observations covering 326 products over eleven quarters from mid-2023 through end-2025. The qualitative phase uses confirmatory interviews with seventeen informants from distributor management and sales teams. The incentive program successfully drives all four sales performance dimensions measured in the study, covering volume growth, revenue share, transaction frequency, and a cumulative growth index, all of which are statistically significant. However, higher-priced products attract significantly fewer transactions per quarter and grow more slowly over time. Seven of eight hypotheses are supported. Qualitative findings confirm that the incentive effect adds to total selling activity rather than redirecting it, but transaction attention consistently concentrates on lower-priced products across the eleven-quarter period. The study extends agency theory to a three-party setting and provides the first panel-level evidence of composition effects from a uniform sales incentive in Indonesian B2B distribution.

HOSPITAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDONESIAN CRIMINAL LAW

Kamri, Andi Khaedhir
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the concept and application of hospital criminal liability in cases of medical malpractice in the Indonesian criminal law system, as well as examine the relationship between the individual responsibility… onsibility of medical personnel and the responsibility of hospital institutions. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study methods and a juridical-normative approach enriched with empirical data. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with legal practitioners, medical personnel, and hospital managers, accompanied by a documentary study of laws and regulations, court rulings, and related literature. The results of the study show that criminal liability in cases of medical malpractice is generally still focused on individual medical personnel as direct perpetrators, while the accountability of hospital institutions has not been optimally applied in criminal law enforcement practices. In addition, it was found that there is a complex relationship between the professional responsibilities of medical personnel and the institutional obligations of hospitals in ensuring health service standards, including aspects of supervision, risk management, and medical service systems. This study concludes that it is necessary to strengthen the concept of corporate criminal liability for hospitals in cases of medical malpractice in order to create legal certainty and more balanced protection for patients, medical personnel, and health service institutions. The findings of this study contribute to the development of health law studies and become a basis for consideration for policymakers in formulating more effective regulations and law enforcement mechanisms.

INTERFAITH MARRIAGE IN ISLAMIC FAMILY LAW: THE PERSPECTIVE OF CLASSICAL FIQH AND THE COMPILATION OF ISLAMIC LAW

Nurmalinda, Sri, Firmansyah, Heri
Abstract: Interfaith marriage is a classic yet ever-relevant issue in Islamic family law. This study aims to examine the legal status of interfaith marriage in Islamic family law through classical and contemporary fiqh perspectives,… s, as well as its arrangement in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in Indonesia. The method used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, referring to authoritative classical tafsir and fiqh works such as Jami' al-Bayan by al-Tabari, al-Jami' li Ahkam al-Qur'an by al-Qurtubi, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, al-Umm by Imam al-Shafi'i, and al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah, as well as contemporary works such as Fiqh al-Sunnah by Sayyid Sabiq and the works of Wahbah al-Zuhaili and Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The findings indicate that classical jurists unanimously prohibit the marriage of a Muslim woman to a non-Muslim man and the marriage of a Muslim man to a polytheist (mushrik) woman, but differ regarding the marriage of a Muslim man to a woman of the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab). Meanwhile, the KHI takes a stricter stance by prohibiting all forms of interfaith marriage, in line with the principle of preventing harm (sadd al-dhari'ah) and the MUI Fatwa of 2005. This study concludes that the KHI represents a contextualization of fiqh adapted to the conditions of Indonesian society.

DIFFERENCES IN THE RESULTS OF ABO BLOOD TYPE EXAMINATION USING ANTISERA REAGENTS AND SERUM SLIDE METHOD

Ismawatie, Emma, Jimat, Resi Tondho, Putri, Arum Kusuma, Kurniawan, Adi
Abstract: Blood group examination is a blood grouping system based on the type of antigen. Examination of blood groups with antisera reagents, namely examination of blood groups with antisera reagents obtained from in vitro supernatant… atant cultures derived from mouse cell immunoglobulin hybridization. Examination of blood type with serum is an examination that uses blood type A as anti-B, blood type B as anti-A, and blood type O as anti-AB. The purpose of this study was to determine the profile of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera reagents and serum slide method. The research method used was descriptive with samples of the ABO system blood group using antisera and serum reagents for 30 respondents using probability sampling technique. The materials used are human blood groups A, B, AB and O and anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB reagents. Data analysis was descriptive in the form of a profile table of the results of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera and serum reagents. The results of the study revealed that the results of blood group A were 7 (23%), blood group B were 7 (23%), blood group AB were 8 (27%), and blood group O were 8 (27%). The results obtained showed that the antisera and serum reagents had differences in the blood group examination results, namely the grade of agglutination produced by the serum was different from that of the antisera. It can be concluded that the results of blood grouping with antisera and serum reagents can be used for blood group examination. However, compared to antisera reagents, the results are better using antisera reagents compared to serum.

Overall, Village Fund management in Limehu Village has not been optimal in improving the business performance of BUMDes Sinar Utara.

MATHEMATICS LEARNING STRATEGIES FOR DEAF CHILDREN IN UNDERSTANDING STORY PROBLEMS

Shofa, Fasya Zahira, Farez, Muhammad Rafael Al, Dewi, Fajar Yunia, Rahma, Fika Nur, Sari, Noor Laila, Rahma, Yeni
Abstract: Mathematics learning plays an important role in developing logical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, for deaf students, understanding mathematical word problems remains a fairly complex challenge, mainly due… to limitations in language and communication aspects. This study aims to examine the characteristics of the difficulties experienced by deaf students, analyze the implementation of the learning strategies used, and investigate their effectiveness in improving understanding of mathematical word problems. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature study method. The findings indicate that the main difficulties lie in understanding the language used in the problems, identifying important information, and transforming it into mathematical models. Effective learning strategies tend to be visual, contextual, and communicative, supported by the use of interactive media. Nevertheless, the use of media alone is not sufficient without well-structured instructional strategies. These findings emphasize that the integration of adaptive learning strategies plays a more significant role in improving deaf students’ understanding of mathematical word problems.

FROM DISCIPLINE TO DEVELOPMENT: ADAPTING CORE MARCHING BAND STRUCTURES FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PRACTICE IN INDONESIAN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Kurniawan, Iwan, Pamungkas, Joko
Abstract: This study examines how core marching band structures can be adapted for Indonesian early childhood education through developmentally appropriate practice and performance theory. The study responds to concerns that preschool… hool marching band activities may reproduce discipline-oriented rehearsal models designed for older learners. A one-group pre-test and post-test mixed-methods design was used with twenty Indonesian preschool children aged four to five years. Over six weeks, children participated in twelve adapted marching band sessions that combined simplified rhythmic patterns, child-scaled instruments, neat but developmentally adjusted formations, cooperative music-making, visual-motor activities, and responsive teacher facilitation. Quantitative data were collected using a four-point developmental observation rubric covering rhythmic competence, motor coordination, and socio-emotional engagement. Qualitative data were obtained from teacher reflective journals and post-intervention interviews. Paired-sample analysis showed higher post-test scores across the three developmental domains. The largest observed improvement appeared in socio-emotional engagement, followed by rhythmic competence and motor coordination. However, because the study did not include a control group, the findings should be interpreted as developmental changes observed after participation rather than definitive causal effects of the intervention. Qualitative findings indicated that children participated more confidently when teachers simplified rhythmic tasks, used clear and neat formations with reduced technical pressure, provided child-scaled instruments, supported safe movement, and acted as co-players and emotional co-regulators. The study reconceptualizes marching band routines not as rigid disciplinary scripts, but as adaptable performative frames that may support social participation, emotional regulation, rhythmic learning, motor coordination, cooperation, and creative agency when aligned with children’s developmental readiness.

A THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE ROLE OF INTERNAL AUDIT IN FRAUD PREVENTION IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Dumo, Silfanawati A., Salmin, Fitriana S., Luadu, Zein, Habiba, Habiba, Noholo, Sahmin
Abstract: Advances in digital technology have brought significant changes to organizational activities; however, they have also increased the risk of technology-based fraud, such as cyber fraud, data manipulation, phishing, and misuse… suse of information systems. These conditions require organizations to strengthen the internal audit function as a critical component of internal controls and fraud prevention. This study aims to theoretically examine the role of internal audit in preventing fraud in the digital era. The research method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) by collecting and analyzing various relevant national and international journals from 2020 to 2026. The analysis process was conducted using qualitative descriptive methods through the identification, selection, and grouping of research findings based on discussion themes. The research findings indicate that internal audit plays a strategic role in identifying risks, conducting oversight, evaluating the effectiveness of internal controls, and supporting the implementation of good corporate governance. The utilization of audit technologies, such as data analytics, continuous auditing, and digital-based monitoring systems, has proven capable of enhancing the effectiveness of fraud detection and prevention more quickly and accurately. This study also found that the digital competencies of internal auditors and the company’s readiness to strengthen its internal control systems are key factors in supporting the effectiveness of internal audits in the digital age. The implications of this study suggest that organizations need to enhance the competencies of internal auditors and strengthen technology-based internal controls to address increasingly complex digital fraud risks.
