Published: September 2024

State management and oversight of natural resources is a constitutionally mandated responsibility. However, the mining extractive industry is often plagued by corruption, which hinders sustainable development efforts. This research investigates corruption within the mining extractive industry, focusing on cases related to mining business permits (IUP). Using a qualitative approach through a literature review, the study analyzes various corruption cases in the issuance of mining permits and examines relevant laws and regulations. The findings reveal that Indonesian mining regulations, grounded in the 1945 Constitution, mandate that natural resources be managed for public welfare. Law Number 4 of 2009 on Mineral and Coal Mining replaces the previous contract system with more transparent mining business permits overseen by both central and regional governments. This research underscores the need for regulatory improvements and a clearer delineation of authority to optimize natural resource management and prevent corrupt practices that undermine sustainable development efforts in Indonesia.

Authors: Mollet Julius Ary , Silo Akbar
Published: September 2024

Sustainable development is currently being implemented globally in response to the need for global societies to ensure a balance of development between economic and environmental issues (such as forests) and local communities. Local governments have committed to managing their forests for development in accordance with green economic principles. In addition, the adat community also has a significant role in promoting local wisdom in managing natural resources in Papua. This article attempts to investigate the role of green economic programs on development in the Papuan's local communities. The study found that the political, traditional structural system adopted local wisdom on the patterns of agricultural farming in the Papuan community. The study found that the green economy program is the alternative solution for developing the local community due to the economic benefit to Indigenous people and the lack of damage to Papua's natural resources.

Investigating the Relationship among Organizational Culture, Job Motivation, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, and Job Performance: Indonesian Public Sector Context
Authors: Siswanto Ari , Nadia Fiona Niska Dinda
Published: September 2024

The inadequate performance of Indonesia’s public sector is demonstrated by the decline in ranking on the Global Competitiveness Index from 2017 to 2019 and the lack of research on OCB in the public sector, considering that most studies focus on the private sector. The objective of this study is to explore the correlation between organizational culture, work motivation, work performance, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) within Indonesia’s public sector organizations. By using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), data from 189 public sector respondents were analyzed. The research tool was verified using tests for convergent validity, construct validity, and discriminant validity. The results indicate that organizational culture impacts job performance, OCB, and job motivation positively and significantly. Job motivation also has a positive and significant influence on OCB but is not significant in relation to job performance. Additionally, OCB positively and significantly affects job performance. This research addresses a gap in the existing literature by presenting a fresh perspective on the relationship between these factors within the public sector. The results of this study expand upon previous investigations and offer valuable insights for professionals seeking to enhance organizational performance in the public sector, particularly in terms of effectively implementing organizational culture and motivation strategies.

Published: September 2024

Stigma consciousness is crucial for influencing the effectiveness of female leaders, particularly in transformational leadership. Despite the increasing representation of women in the workplace, they still face significant challenges in reaching the highest organizational positions. This study explores how stigma consciousness moderates the impact of women’s transformational leadership on trust and leader effectiveness, while trust in leaders mediates these relationships. The research model in this study was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) and the AMOS 28 software. This approach allows researchers to look at multiple complex relationships at the same time and combines regression and factor analysis to obtain a full picture of how variables interact with each other. We assessed the descriptive statistics and psychometric properties of the measurement scales using SPSS 28. Data were collected from 200 team members and subordinates of female leaders at various organizations in Indonesia. The results indicate that although women’s transformational leadership significantly enhances trust in leaders and leader effectiveness, this impact is moderated by stigma consciousness levels. High stigma consciousness weakens the positive effect of women’s transformational leadership on trust in leaders, thus reducing leadership effectiveness. Conversely, lower levels of stigma consciousness reinforce this positive effect. This finding highlight stigma consciousness as a barrier to women leaders’ trust and an obstacle to achieving leadership effectiveness. Reducing stigma consciousness is essential for the effective acceptance and recognition of women’s leadership. An inclusive, supportive environment free from stigma enables women to lead more effectively and gain greater team trust.

Published: September 2024

Public trust in state administrators is being torn apart by corruption scandals. The public can see how corrupt behavior occurs sporadically at almost all levels of government. This article presents the results of research in the form of the phenomenon of criminal acts of corruption, which is closely related to the emergence of a level of public trust in Indonesia’s law and government. This study is a qualitative research using the literature review method. The approach used in this paper is a review and analysis of the case along with all relevant laws and regulations. The results of this research are that the criminal corruption case that ensnared Firli Bahuri included two types of crimes, namely, extortion, which involves the abuse of power to force civil servants or state administrators to provide personal benefits, as defined in Article 368 of the Criminal Code, which can lead to a prison sentence of up to nine years. The implication of this research is the need to strengthen supervision and consistent implementation of the law and restore the integrity of law enforcement institutions to prevent corruption and restore public trust.

Seeds as planting material play an important role in agricultural development. The length of seed germination is an obstacle to meeting the high demand for oil palm seeds. This research determines the effect of pollen variety and dosage on the production of superior oil palm seeds. The study used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two factors, namely pollen source (V1: Yangambi; V2: PPKS 540) and pollen dose (gr) (D1: 0.25; D2: 0.12; D3: 0.06; D4: 0.04; and D5: talk/blank (control). There were 10 treatment combinations (V1D1, V1D2, V1D3, V1D4, V1D5, V2D1, V2D2, V2D3, V2D4 and V2D5) so that there were 30 experimental units (oil palm trees); if they are significantly different, a further 5% DMRT test (Duncan Multiple Range Test) is carried out. The parameters observed were the number of seeds (grains), number of good and rejected seeds (grains), bunch weight (kg), and seed germination. The results showed that the Yangambi variety produced superior oil palm seeds. The V1D4 treatment showed the best results with the highest number of good seeds produced (2,302 seeds/bundle. The best results were 2,302 items. Treatments V2D2, V2D3, and V2D4 showed the best viability with the same results (81.65%. The treatments did not significantly affect bunch weight.

Investigating algebraic structures in a non-conventional framework supplements mathematics for hard-nosed practical applications to the fields of theoretical biology and computer science. One such algebraic structure is multigroup whose underlying set is a multiset. The genome is the entire set of DNA instructions found within a cell which contains all the information needed for an individual to develop and function. DNA and RNA are the hereditary materials that play a vital role in the metabolism process of living things, especially protein synthesis. In genomic database DNA sequences are stored in the form of string or text data types. The only data that works with machine learning algorithms is numerical. Thus, it is necessary to transform DNA sequence strings to numerical values. This article is organized in the following manner. Firstly, we prove that standard genetic code is a multigroup and genome architecture of the whole population can be interpreted as the sum of multisets. Next, it is described how a numerical representation of DNA bases relates to its algebraic representation. We further employed Gated Recurrent Unit, Long Short-Term Memory, and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory to identify changes between the DNA sequences. Experimental results show that GRU with multiset-based numerical values for DNA bases offers 98% accuracy on testing data. This novel technique will aid in the detection of mutations in complex diseases.

Published: September 2024

Even though AI applications are becoming more and more ubiquitous in everyday life, there is stilllittle understanding of how AI functions on a technical level as well as a lack of understandingabout the areas in which AI is used among the general public. Aim of our study is to investigatewhether information about functionality of AI and on applications areas of AI is influencing AIusage intentions over a wide variety of topics (e.g., art, healthcare, transport). Additionally, we alsowant to investigate whether AI aversion can be reduced by providing participants with information(functionality and application) on AI. To this end, we collected N = 513 participants (representativefor age and gender, Germany). Results showed that participants who received information aboutapplication areas of AI reported higher usage intention of AI applications than those who receivedinformation about functionality of AI. Regarding AI aversion, a similar pattern emerged:information about AI application areas reduced AI aversion. When conducting linear models thatcontrolled for age, gender, education, and AI knowledge, AI aversion was significantly reduced byboth types of information. Finally, when running a mediation analysis results revealed that thedirect relationship between information and usage intention is fully mediated by AI aversion.
Maternal Behavioral Patterns and Their Impact on Fetal Development Trajectories
Authors: Jithesh Nidhi
Published: September 2024

Poor perinatal mental health can have significant and lasting impacts on a woman’s overall health and the well-being of her children and family. From conception, a baby's behavior, appearance, aversions, and interests can be influenced by the prenatal environment. Thus, the quality of prenatal care is crucial. Factors such as maternal stress, environmental conditions, cravings, mood swings, hormonal changes, and emotional experiences during pregnancy can profoundly affect the baby’s behavior once born. The baby's interaction with the external world begins from conception, not just at birth. For instance, maternal depression can negatively affect both the mental and physical health of the infant. Therefore, fostering a supportive environment for expectant mothers is essential for their health and that of their unborn child. Promoting the mother’s well-being through happiness and comfort is critical.This review paper aims to synthesize current research on maternal-fetal attachment during pregnancy, its evolution, and its postpartum effects on the mother-infant relationship. It will explore how these dynamics change over time, both during pregnancy and after delivery, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing attachment and related outcomes. As Alan Soufre, a famous developmental psychologist would state, "Attachment would begin before birth. The mother’s emotional state can shape the child’s development trajectory long before the child is born."
Ambiguity preferences in intertemporal and risky choice: A large-scale study using drift-diffusion modelling
Authors: guo mingqiang , Ikink Iris , Roelofs Karin , Figner Bernd
Published: September 2024

Intertemporal choices constitute a significant topic of interest in both psychological and behavioral-economics research. While many studies focus on decisions with precisely known reward delivery times, real-world situations typically involve only an imprecise knowledge of these timings, i.e., the delivery times are ambiguous. The current study uses a large size dataset (sample size N > 669) consisting of both risky and intertemporal ambiguous and non-ambiguous choices and aims (i) to clarify the relationship between probability-ambiguity and time-ambiguity effects on choice, and (ii) to evaluate different computational models (attribute-wise and integrated-value models) across risky and intertemporal choice domains using a drift-diffusion model (DDM) framework. Analysis of the choice data revealed a significant association: Individuals who were more averse to time-ambiguity also exhibited a stronger aversion to probability-ambiguity, as indicated by a correlation of r = .28. The DDM analyses revealed that (a) DDMs incorporating ambiguity preferences outperformed models without ambiguity preferences in both the time and probability domain for most participants. Interestingly, (b) while time-ambiguity aversion was best explained by an attribute-wise model, probability-ambiguity aversion was best explained by an integrated-value model. Finally, we found that (c) if an individual's intertemporal decisions were best explained by a DDM incorporating ambiguity, then their risky decisions were also most likely best explained by a DDM incorporating ambiguity. Taken together, our results are evidence that ambiguity-preferences across the time and probability domains are not independent but show some consistency despite the differing—attribute-wise versus integrated-value—decision strategies in each domain.
Children's Darting (Not Diffuse) Attentional Spotlight Reduces Memory Selectivity for Relevant Content
Authors: Decker Alexandra , Tandoc Marlie C , Cho Hyuna , Rebello Gloria , Duncan Katherine , Finn Amy
Published: September 2024

Why do children remember distracting details better than adults? This could be a silver lining—a benefit—of children's immature attention. The present work establishes this link between immature selective attention and children’s broader learning and adjudicates between two ways that attention could drive developmental differences in memory. One possibility is that children have a more 'diffuse' attentional spotlight, meaning irrelevant information ‘leaks’ into long term memory as children learn about relevant information. Alternatively, children's attention might dart between relevant and irrelevant information across time. While both mechanisms would enhance 'distractor' memories, only diffuse attention would facilitate memories for relevant and irrelevant information from the same event and associations between them. In a sample of children and adults (n=130), we find clear evidence that immature attention underlies children's tendency to prioritize distractors in memory more than adults. Furthermore, relevant and irrelevant information from the same event were associated in adults' memory but not children’s memory. Moreover, unlike adults, children learned about targets and distractors from different events, suggesting their attention is more likely to dart across items. Children’s darting attention may therefore explain why children remember “distracting” information better than adults.
Communication with friends and non-friend peers: An examination of dyadic connectedness across two contexts
Authors: Goodacre Emily J. , Fink Elian , Ramchandani Paul G. , Gibson Jenny
Published: September 2024

Children’s peer interactions provide an important setting for their developing communication skills. The current study analyses connectedness – the topical coherence of children’s conversational turns – to explore how children coordinate their interactions across two contexts. The observed connected talk of 82 same-sex dyads (N = 152 children, 58.6% male, mean age = 6.79 years, SD = 0.38) during free-play and goal-directed contexts was coded. The rates of connected talk in relation to dyad sex (girl, boy) and friendship status (friends, non-friend peers) was modelled. There was a significantly higher rate of connectedness in the goal-directed compared to free-play context, which was qualified by a friendship status by context interaction. Subsequent simple effects analysis showed that only non-friend dyads engaged in significantly more connected talk during goal-directed compared to free-play context, with equivalent connectedness across context for friend dyads. These findings highlight the role of dyadic characteristics and contextual features for children’s interactions.
Opportunities for better self-management: Profiling hEDS and the role of individual, demographic and diagnostic factors on health and wellbeing with chronic conditions.
Authors: Foster Joanna , Stephens-Lewis Danielle , Schenke Kimberley Caroline
Published: September 2024

Factors affecting physical and psychological outcomes for those with chronic conditions are complex, extending beyond medical symptomology to a plethora of demographic influences. Living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is characterised by diagnostic delay and numerous comorbidities, known to impact wellbeing. This high-powered study (n = 415 participants) investigates the mediating effect of diagnosis, comorbidity and age on wellbeing, and provides insights into the effects of the latest hEDS reclassification. Validated measures were used to assess quality of life, perceived social support, physical health, fatigue, anxiety, pain and loneliness. Results indicated worse outcomes for those diagnosed after the reclassification and for those living with higher numbers of comorbidities. Conversely, improved outcomes were associated with older age. These findings were further supported by insights captured in participants’ demographic profiles where a wider breadth of comorbidities were recorded than previously identified, Meanwhile, there was no evidence of a change in the route to diagnosis over time, and data showed ongoing limitations in terms of the options for effective treatment. Together these findings point to the potential effectiveness of self-management techniques for improving well-being with chronic conditions and highlight the need for improved awareness of (h)EDS and its management amongst primary care practitioners.
Intact exploration in old age
Authors: Güldener Lasse
Published: September 2024

Optimal foraging depends on a dynamic balance between exploration and exploitation, and the literature is in discord on whether our ability to forage optimally diminishes with age, with a bias away from exploration and towards exploitation. In this study, we used a virtual foraging experiment to test elderly participants and compared their heuristics for timing patch-leaving with those of young adults. The initial patch quality (reward probability) varied randomly, and the remaining reward probability in the current patch decreased exponentially, simulating a rapidly depleting resource to encourage exploration of new patches. The results showed a significant age effect on overall task performance, with the elderly exhibiting longer trial durations and lower total earnings. Replicating previous findings, the elderly demonstrated increased giving-up times compared to young adults, indicating a reduced propensity for behavioral exploration. However, when adjusting for the overall lower average collection rates in the elderly, both age groups timed their patch-leaving optimally according to the marginal value theorem, leaving a ‘patch’ when the current reward collection rate matched the average collection rate. These results suggest that despite age-related slowing in performance, the heuristics underlying optimal foraging behavior remain intact in older age.
Preschoolers and Infants Calibrate Persistence from Adult Models

Published: September 2024

Perseverance, above and beyond IQ, predicts academicoutcomes in school age children, however, little is knownabout what factors affect persistence in early childhood. Here,we propose a formal Bayesian model of how children mightlearn how to calibrate effort from observing adult models andthen explore this idea behaviorally across two experiments inchildren and infants. Results from Experiment 1 show thatpreschoolers persist more after watching an adult persist, butonly if the adult is successful at reaching their goal.Experiment 2 and a pre-registered replication extend thesefindings, showing that even infants use adult models tomodulate their persistence, and can generalize this inferenceto novel situations. These results suggest that bothpreschoolers and infants are sensitive to adult persistence anduse it to calibrate their own effort in far-reaching ways.

Along with the many studies of the style of the Al-Quran, new theories have emerged as a tool for analyzing the style of the language of the Qur'an, one of which is stylistics which is able to explain the relationship between language and artistic function and meaning, especially from the phenomenon of deviation and language preference. The object of study in this study focuses on the 109th surah in the Qur'an, namely Al-Kafirun. This study aims to analyze surah Al-Kafirun based on five domain levels or what is called khomsah mustawayat fii 'Ilm al-Uslub namely al-mustawâ al-ṣauti (phonological level), al-mustawâ al-ṣarfi (morphological level), al-mustawâ al-nahwi au al-tarkîbî (syntactic level), al-mustawâ al-dalali (semantic level), and al-mustawâ al-taṣwiri (imagery level).

Fokus penelitian ini pada aksiologi linguistik Arab dalam merekonstruksi pemahaman keagamaan kaum jihadis. Gerakan-gerkan provokatif, ekstrimis dan radikalis masih saja hadir di tengah-tengah masyarakat Indonesia. Ini disebabkan karena keterbatasan pemikiran dalam memahami dan menerapkan ajaran agama Islam secara sempurna. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap peran dan manfaat Bahasa Arab dalam merekonstruksi pandangan keagamaan kaum jihadis. Untuk mengungkap hal tersebut peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode pendekatan normatif yang diimpelementasikan dengan menjadikan norma bahasa Arab dan sosial budaya sebagai rujukan. Untuk pengolahan data, metode yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan (library research) dan metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian mengungkap bahwa perspektif semantik dan makna relasional jihad dapat dipahami bahwa esensi dan peran linguistik Arab sangat signifikan dalam menafsirkan jihad lebih humanis dan lebih sesuai dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Linguistik Arab juga memiliki banyak manfaat, antara lain meningkatkan pemahaman keagamaan manusia terhadap agama Islam yang penuh dengan cinta dan kasih sayang. Tulisan ini dapat berkontribusi dalam meluruskan pemahaman jihad. Terutama meluruskan pemahaman keagamaan kaum jihadis yang dapat menghentikan dan menghapus gerakan-gerakan ekstrimis dan radikalis di Indonesia.This research focuses on the axiology of Arabic linguistics in reconstructing the religious understanding of the Jihadists. Provocative, extremist and radical movements are still present in the midst of society in Indonesia. This is due to limited acknowledgments in understanding and applying the teachings of Islam. This research aims to reveal the role and benefits of Arabic in reconstructing the religious views of the Jihadists. To reveal this, the researcher uses a descriptive qualitative research method with a normative approach that is implemented by utilizing Arabic language and socio-cultural norms as references. For data processing, the method used is library research and descriptive analysis method. The results revealed that the semantic perspective and relational meaning of Jihad can be understood as the essence and role of Arabic linguistics are significant in interpreting Jihad as more humanist and more compatible with human values. Arabic linguistics also has many benefits, including enhancing human religious understanding of Islam, which is full of love and compassion. This paper can contribute to rectify the understanding of Jihad. In particular, clarifying the religious understanding of Jihadists can stop and eliminate extremist and radical movements in Indonesia.
