Tinjauan Hukum Penggunaan Debt Collector dalam Penagihan Hutang
Authors: Anggraeni Amelia
Published: September 2024

Third party debt collectors provide collection services which are usually used by financial institutions to carry out credit collections. Large financial institutions such as banks have hundreds or even thousands of customers they must serve. The large number of customers makes it difficult for these financial institutions to serve customers internally. Of the many customers we have, there are quite a few customers who are disobedient or even default on the agreements they have made. Because of this inability, most large-scale financial institutions such as banks will ask for help from third parties to replace them in providing services to customers. One of the third parties whose services are used is a debt collector or what is usually called a debt collector. This third party moves to collect debts from debtors who are in default on the loans they have made. This research aims to analyze the legal view or juridical review of debt collectors who collect debts from debtors.

Published: September 2024

The involvement of people with mental illness in elections is an important issue in the context of civil law, human rights and political participation. In Indonesia, although the 1945 Constitution and related laws provide equal rights for all citizens, including people with mental disabilities, there is still debate about their eligibility to participate in elections. Several articles in the Civil Code state that people with mental illness are not legally competent, while electoral laws allow their participation if they are not permanently mentally impaired. This research examines the legal basis and limitations of the authority of persons with mental disabilities in elections, and analyzes the existing legal uncertainties. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide recommendations to improve political inclusion for people with mental disabilities in Indonesia.

Analisis Dampak Sistem Presidential Threshold dalam Pemilihan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden di Indonesia Terhadap Inklusivitas Politik dan Representasi Demokratis
Authors: Nugroho Dwi Wahyu
Published: September 2024

Article 222 of Law Number 17 of 2017 concerning Presidential and Vice Presidential Elections states that "Candidate pairs are proposed by political parties or combinations of political parties participating in the election who meet the requirements to obtain seats of at least 20% of the total number of seats in the DPR or obtain 25% of the valid national votes in election of members of the DPR.

The method used is normative legal research. These provisions reduce political inclusivity by limiting the variety of options for voters and restricting access for various groups of society. And influence democratic representation by suppressing votes for minority candidates or those representing special interests.

Suuntaukset kirjallisuudessa: Teoreettisia huomioita
Authors: Isomaa Saija
Published: September 2024

Artikkeli tarkastelee kirjallisuuden suuntauksen käsitteestä käytyä teoriakeskustelua 2000-lukuun painottuen mutta myös vanhempaa keskustelua kommentoiden. Tarkastelu nousee huomiosta, ettei suuntauksen käsitettä määritellä kirjallisuustieteen kotimaisissa tai ulkomaisissa hakuteoksissa, vaikka sitä käytetään keskeisenä peruskäsitteenä. Artikkeli arvioi kriittisesti 2000-luvulla esitettyjä näkemyksiä termin käsitteellisestä sisällöstä ja tunnistaa suuntausten tutkimuksen keskeisiä teoreettisia ja metodisia kysymyksiä. Tavoitteena on avata teoriakeskustelua suuntausten tutkimuksen yleisistä peruskysymyksistä.
Artikkeli tarkastelee kirjallisen liikkeen suhdetta kirjallisuudessa ilmeneviin yhteiskunnallisiin ja elämänkatsomuksellisiin liikkeisiin sekä tutkii käsityksiä siitä, voiko suuntaus läpäistä koko periodin ja millaisia implikaatioita eri näkemyksillä on. Keskeiseksi suuntausten tutkimuksen haasteeksi hahmottuu kysymys tekstuaalisen ja kontekstuaalisen analyysin suhteesta tutkimuskäytännössä. Tarkastelun pohjalta esitetään, etteivät kirjallisuushistoriasta löytyvät suuntaukset ole keskenään yhteismitallisia, vaan ne voivat erota merkittävästi toisistaan niin sosiaalisen rakentumisen kuin tekstuaalisten ilmentymien suhteen, mikä vaikeuttaa osaltaan suuntausten tutkimuksen teorian ja metodiikan luomista. Erääksi ratkaisuksi esitetään suuntausten tarkastelua historiallisen poetiikan kannalta. Historiallinen poetiikka keskittyy tekstuaaliseen analyysiin mutta huomioi myös kontekstuaalisen tarkastelun.

I.2 • The Noun Adjectives σατυρικόν and σατυρικά
Authors: Carrara Laura
Published: September 2024

Più frequente del sintagma composto è l’impiego dell’aggettivo σατυρικόν – anche al plurale, σατυρικά – quale denominazione di genere letterario: si tratta di «sostantivizzazione dell’epiteto σατυρικός, dove il suffisso -ικός indica l’‘appartenenza a’, nel nostro caso al mondo dei satiri» (Elisabetta Matelli). Il presente capitolo ne studia le attestazioni, partendo da quelle epigrafiche nuovamente fino all’età bizantina in tutti i casi e i numeri, giungendo però ad escludere dal novero il celeberrimo ἐκ σατυρικοῦ del capitolo 4 della Poetica di Aristotele, che si rivela più vicino a ricoprire il significato traslato e comparativo ‘alla maniera del (dramma) satiresco’.
II.1 • The Adjectives σατυρικός, σατυρική (e non σατυρικοί?)
Authors: Carrara Laura
Published: September 2024

La seconda sezione della Prima Parte del volume studia le combinazioni tra le etichette satiresche e i titoli di drammi appartenenti a questo genere letterario, a partire dalla più diffusa: l’unione tra il sostantivo σατυρικός/-ή e il titolo, spesso coincidente con il nome proprio del ‘mostro’ della storia (maschile, come Ciclope; o femminile, come Sfinge o Circe). Il capitolo certifica l’assenza di varianti al plurale di questa combinazione, con σατυρικοί e σατυρικαί, pur offrendosi diversi titoli adatti (ad esempio, Ἰχνευταί di Sofocle); ci si interroga sulla possibile ragione di questa mancanza, individuandola nella concorrenza esercitata dal diffuso plurale σάτυροι.
IV • Farewell to the Satirical (Drama): Rereading Two Imperfect διδασκαλίαι
Authors: Carrara Laura
Published: September 2024

L’ultimo capitolo analitico della Seconda Parte riesamina due produzioni di quinto secolo tradizionalmente considerate problematiche perché le fonti ne attestano una misura soltanto trilogica (per la rappresentazione postuma euripidea) oppure tacciono ogni dettaglio di composizione interna, sia quantitativo sia qualitativo (per la Telepheia di Sofocle, di cui non è stato neppure sempre certo se l’autore sia il grande poeta di quel nome o non, piuttosto, il nipote omonimo). Per le due già tanto dibattute didaskaliai si propone un possibile nuovo inquadramento nella prospettiva della tetralogia ‘a-satiresca’: questo permetterebbe di accomodare insieme alla trilogia tragica postuma di Euripide un’altra delle sue tragedie tarde ancora in cerca di collocazione (nel presupposto che la didaskalia sia imperfetta per guasto testuale o silenzio del testimone); per la Telepheia sofoclea, di non dover postulare ad ogni costo un Telefo satiresco di cui la documentazione relativa conserva riflessi soltanto molto deboli.

Background: Liver cancer is a highly lethal malignancy with frequent recurrence, widespread metastasis, and low survival rates. The aim of this study was to explore the role of Endoglin (ENG) in liver cancer progression, as well as its impacts on angiogenesis, immune cell infiltration, and the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib. Methods: A comprehensive evaluation was conducted using online databases Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), 76 pairs of clinical specimens of tumor and adjacent non-tumor liver tissue, and tissue samples from 32 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with sorafenib. ENG expression levels were evaluated using quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blot, and immunohistochemical analysis. Cox regression analysis, Spearman rank correlation analysis, and survival analysis were used to assess the results. Functional experiments included Transwell migration assays and tube formation assays with Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs). Results: Tumor cells exhibited retro-differentiation into endothelial-like cells, with a significant increase in ENG expression in these tumor-derived endothelial cells (TDECs). High expression of ENG was associated with more aggressive cancer characteristics and worse patient prognosis. Pathway enrichment and functional analyses identified ENG as a key regulator of immune responses and angiogenesis in liver cancer. Further studies confirmed that ENG increases the expression of Collagen type Iα1 (COL1A1), thereby promoting angiogenesis in liver cancer. Additionally, HCC patients with elevated ENG levels responded well to sorafenib treatment. Conclusions: This study found that ENG is an important biomarker of prognosis in liver cancer. Moreover, ENG is associated with endothelial cell differentiation in liver cancer and plays a crucial role in formation of the tumor vasculature. The assessment of ENG expression could be a promising strategy to identify liver cancer patients who might benefit from targeted immunotherapies.

Background: Schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) have traditionally been treated as different conditions but share many characteristics, including cognitive control deficits. Electroencephalogram (EEG) indicators of response monitoring, including error-related negativity (ERN) and theta-band activities (4-8 Hz) have been proposed as transdiagnostic indicators of cognitive control. Research finds that the ERN and theta power are blunted in SZ, but findings are less consistent in BD. SZ and BD also show difficulty in emotional contexts. However, no research has investigated response monitoring theta activities in SZ and BD concurrently nor in emotional contexts. Methods: Data were collected from 32 SZ, 33 BD, and 33 healthy control (HC) participants. EEG was recorded while participants completed three modified flanker tasks using arrow, unpleasant, and pleasant stimuli. Effects of group and task on post-response ERPs, theta total power, and theta intertrial phase coherence (ITPC) were investigated using mixed analysis of covariance, controlling for sex and accuracy. Results: SZ showed attenuated theta power across all tasks, but reductions in BD were less consistent. ERN, theta power, and theta ITPC were reduced in unpleasant and pleasant tasks relative to neutral in HC. SZ showed similar emotional modulation for theta power, but not for ERN. BD differed from HC in that theta power was not reduced in the pleasant task relative to neutral task. Conclusions: SZ and BD show different patterns of EEG modulation by emotional context. Concurrent data collection from individuals with SZ and BD across emotional contexts could elucidate similarities and differences between these disorders.

Background: Internet-based self-help interventions offer a promising possibility to meet the growing demand for psychological support. However, a common challenge is low adherence, leading to only modest reductions in symptoms. One way to increase acceptability is to involve individuals with lived experience in the design and development of interventions. This paper focuses on the participatory development of an internet-based self-help intervention designed for anxiety symptoms that integrates peer-to-peer support.Methods: The intervention development process is based on the Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share (IDEAS) framework. In a first step, test user input on the Prototype was assessed qualitatively in one focus group with N=5 and in individual interviews with N=4 participants affected by anxiety symptoms. In a second step, we pilot-tested the minimum viable product (MVP) with N=128 self-help seeking participants. We assessed usage data and mental health outcomes. Results: During prototype testing, users expressed a need for more clear guidance through the app functions and for more means of direct communication with other users. The MVP testing revealed that a high percentage of the participants (68.8%) did not use the app more than once. Only a subset of N=24 participants filled in the baseline mental health questionnaires, indicating moderate levels of anxiety and low levels of social support. Due to the small sample size, we did not analyze changes in outcome measures. Conclusion: Despite the integration of individuals with lived experience from the beginning of app development, qualitative feedback, as well as quantitative usage data, revealed low feasibility and acceptability of the app. Fostering communication among peers and simplifying the app might contribute to the efficacy of peer support in self-help interventions.
Groundwater use to reduce natural hazard susceptibilities and inequities in the metacrisis

Published: September 2024

Long-term thinking is broadly advocated for groundwater - the largest available freshwater resource that is essential for drinking water, irrigation and ecosystems around the world. Long-term thinking is crucial to support sustainability of this slowly renewed resource, but here we propose another crucial, novel and emerging approach for groundwater: short-term use over days and months during or after various natural hazards such as earthquakes, wildfires, floods and droughts. As natural hazards are compounded by other social, political and economic crises in the metacrisis, groundwater is emerging as a strategic solution that is inexpensive, speedy and distributed. We review emerging risks and successes while arguing for a shift of mindset, policy and planning as well as a deeply interdisciplinary and equity-driven approach incorporating disaster sociology, environmental justice, sustainability science and sociohydrology. We offer examples of hope, thought leadership and policy direction for hazards around the world that share a common solution: groundwater.
The Role of Polygenic Indices in Inequality of Opportunity
Authors: Grätz Michael , Petrini Sonia
Published: September 2024

Equality of opportunity is a principle of social justice, although there are different conceptions of it. We distinguish between fair and luck egalitarian equality of opportunity. Both conceptions consider unfair inequalities in life chances that result from ascribed characteristics such as social origin, migration background, and gender. However, they differ in that fair equality of opportunity considers it fair when innate abilities affect life chances. Conversely, luck egalitarianism places innate abilities in the category of morally arbitrary factors that do not provide a fair basis for inequalities in life chances. We use genetic information to approximate innate abilities and compare this approach with skills measured later in life. The use of polygenic indices (PGIs) allows us to better disentangle the role of innate abilities from the roles of ascribed characteristics and individual choices. We apply this approach to two survey datasets, (1) the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS) and (2) the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). According to our results, luck egalitarian inequality of opportunity is considerably larger than fair inequality of opportunity, especially for education. Measuring innate abilities using PGIs leads to very similar conclusions as using skills measured later in life. However, the differences between fair and luck egalitarian inequality of opportunity are smaller using PGIs than using observed skills. This study highlights the importance of taking genetic differences into account when assessing inequality of opportunity and the value of using genetic data in social science research.

Published: September 2024

Ce premier numéro des Enseignements du Lab apporte une lecture transversaledes résultats de quatre projets collectifs liés à la transition écologique dans lesquartiers populaires. Il se concentre sur la dimension sociologique de la crise climatique,et plus particulièrement sur les inégalités environnementales. Le lien entreenjeux environnementaux et inégalités n’est pas nouveau, mais il est de plusen plus étudié, notamment à travers le prisme des quartiers populaires. En effet,on observe une fragilité accrue des habitants des zones de concentration urbainede populations à bas revenus aux conséquences du dérèglement climatique.Et ce, alors qu’ils y contribuent, par leur consommation, le moins. Après avoirprésenté le contexte spécifique et le potentiel des quartiers populaires pourcontribuer à la transition sociale et écologique, cette publication répond à la questionsuivante : quelles actions sont envisageables dans les quartiers populairespour faire face aux inégalités environnementales et aller vers plus de justiceenvironnementale ?
