OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PRINCIPLE OF STRICT LIABILITY AS A BASIS FOR CORPORATE CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ENVIRONMENTAL OFFENSES
Authors: Ikhsan M. Fahri , Antory Royan Adyan  , Hamzah Hatrik
Published: February 2024

Implicitly, the provisions in the Environmental Protection and Management Law (henceforth UUPPLH- Undang-Undang tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup) regarding the principle of strict liability, as stated in Article 88 and its explanation, only regulate strict liability as a civil responsibility. The UUPPLH does not provide provisions on whether the principle of strict liability can be applied as a model for criminal liability, particularly for legal entities or corporations recognized as legal subjects in criminal law (rechtperson). This research aims to analyze and examine the implementation of the principle of strict liability in the UUPPLH and to analyze that violations of environmental offenses under the UUPPLH by corporate legal subjects can be subjected to strict liability as criminal responsibility. The criminal responsibility adopted by Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management still adheres to the principle of fault. Therefore, in applying the strict liability principle in court, it is only used for civil claims, and its use in criminal law enforcement is minimal, as evidenced by several court decisions. In conventional criminal law, criminal liability is based on fault, commonly known as the principle of no punishment without fault (geen straf zonder schuld). However, the principle of strict liability, as liability without fault, is also recognized as a fundamental principle in criminal responsibility.

This research was normative legal research in nature so the first stage that the authors did was collecting books and writings that were relevant to this research title to gather data and theory based on the problems of this research. These data were expected able to identify problems and explain the focus of the discussion. The discussion focused on material analysis related to the rights and obligations of a husband as a civil servant to his ex-wife after divorce according to Indonesian Law. Therefore, the objectives of this research are to find out 1) the rights and obligations of a husband as a civil servant to his ex-wife after divorce according to Indonesia Law, 2) the form of the implementation of rights and obligations of a husband as a civil servant itself, and 3) factors inhibiting the implementation of the rights and obligations. The method used to uncover and explain the problems was content analysis with normative, literal-historic, and empirical approaches. These approaches aimed to investigate the existence of the regulation of rights and obligations and to understand the true meaning of rights and obligations and whether the function of law has met a sense of justice, certainty, and benefits. The results revealed that the rights and obligations of a civil servant to his ex-wife have been regulated in the Indonesian Marriage Law which is under Law Number 1 of 1974 as amended by Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage and other related regulations such as the Compilation of Islamic Law. These rights and obligations are inherent in legal subjects, especially for civil servants, which must be carried out by the husband and respected by both parties. These rights consist of the right to hadhanah living, mut'ah living, iddah living, and madhiyah living.

Authors: Febri Jaya  , Winda Fitri  , Leny Pelita Besouw
Published: February 2024

In accordance with the research title listed above, Indonesia has three legal systems that regulate inheritance, namely; Islamic inheritance law which is based on and uses the holy book Al-Quran as its source, western civil inheritance law which originates from Burgerlijk Wetboek (hereinafter referred to as the Civil Code), and finally customary inheritance law based on the customs of the community itself, this cannot be separated from from the role of each court that handles it. Therefore, the author needs to conduct research on the certainty of legal choices between religious courts and district courts regarding applications for determining heirs. The aim of the research is to analyze the role of the district court and religious court in the application for determining heirs, after that this study will also analyze how legal certainty is provided regarding the legal choice between the district court and the religious court. The results obtained from this research are that the implementation of Law no. 50 of 2009 regarding every application for determining Islamic heirs must be handled and under the authority of a religious court, in fact this does not mean that the district court is of the opinion that it no longer has the right and authority to adjudicate applications for inheritance, this is because the authority possessed by the district court still has power. law in an effort to adjudicate applications for determining inheritance for Muslims. However, what needs to be underlined is that the difference between religious courts is that when it comes to resolving inheritance cases, religious courts are guided by the complications of Islamic law, while district courts are based on the Civil Code, namely western law.

COMPARISON OF PLEA BARGAINING IN THE UNITED STATES WITH “SPECIAL LINE” IN THE DRAFT BOOK OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE (KUHAP) IN INDONESIA
Authors: Amelia Putrina Lumbantobing  , Sudirman Sitepu  , Herlambang
Published: February 2024

Plea Bargaining is a faster and more efficient way of resolving criminal cases, where if the Defendant has admitted guilt, the Defendant or his attorney can make an agreement with the public prosecutor regarding the form of indictment and a lighter sentence. Plea Bargaining is widely embraced by Common Law countries. However, in its development, the success of the United States in reducing the pile of cases by using Plea Bargaining has been followed by Civil Law countries such as Germany, France, Russia, Georgia, the Netherlands, Italy, Taiwan. Even in an effort to reform the criminal justice procedural law, Indonesia has also adopted the basic concept of Plea Bargaining into the Draft Criminal Procedure Code with a concept called "Special Line". However, the concept of the Special Line has many differences so that it cannot be fully equated with the Plea Bargaining adopted by the United States. This is because Indonesia adheres to an inquisitorial system, not an adversary system. For this reason, Indonesia needs to study the successes and failures of Plea Bargaining in the United States, so that the Special Line concept that is to be implemented in Indonesia is a concept that has been adapted to the conditions of the criminal justice system in Indonesia.

Published: February 2024

This research investigates the implementation and efficacy of a current limiter electronics system within solar pump systems, focusing on its ability to regulate current under varying sunlight intensities, encompassing both strong and weak illumination conditions. To assess the system's performance, an experimental setup integrates the solar pump system with the current limiter electronics, subjecting it to a range of sunlight intensities. Under optimal conditions, the current limiter adeptly controlled current flow, maintaining it within specified limits (2.54 A to 3.90 A) as incident sunlight intensity varied from 1000 W/m³ to 2000 W/m³. Equally impressive was the system's capability to navigate reduced sunlight, adjusting current flow (1.20 A to 2.10 A) in response to lower intensities (500 W/m³ to 1300 W/m³). These findings not only advance our comprehension of current limiting techniques in solar pump systems but also offer valuable insights for future solar-powered system designs and implementations. Overall, the research underscores the vital role of a dependable current limiter electronics system in optimizing current flow across varying sunlight intensities, from strong to weak, within solar pump systems.

Authors: Wulandari Wulandari , Lubis Riri Syafitri
Published: February 2024

Optimization is a way of optimizing the objective function while still paying attention to existing constraints. The aim of this research is to form a mathematical model to optimize the average production of lowland and field rice in Simalungun Regency and to complete the model using Wolfe model quadratic programming and the exterior penalty function method. The mathematical model in this research is a nonlinear model created using the least squares method. Quadratic programming solves nonlinear problems by turning them into linear problems using the Kuhn Tucker condition and linear problems are solved using the Wolfe model. Meanwhile, the exterior penalty function method solves limited (constrained) nonlinear problems into unlimited (unconstrained) nonlinear problems. Based on the calculations of the two methods, optimal results were obtained for both the Wolfe quadratic programming model and the exterior penalty function method, where the average production of wetland and field rice in Simalungun Regency was 203.1925 tonnes with a wetland rice harvest area of 90.077 hectares and a field rice harvest area of 13.092. hectare. Optimization testing using this algorithm can be used as a basis for related parties such as the community and government in developing productivity. The implication of this research is an increase in harvested area and average rice production, in this case maintaining productivity stability.

Published: February 2024

Currently, the use of antibiotics has increased sharply and use in the long term will have a bad impact on health. So the emergence of efforts in the form of making natural antibiotics by utilizing materials that are easily available in the environment. One of them is milk, where milk is a food product produced by farm animals, for example cows. This milk can be used as a probiotic. This probiotic is made by adding a bacterium and the bacterium that is often used is Lactobacillus casei. In addition to milk, the material that can be used is telang flower, which is one of the typical plants of Ternate, Maluku with purple, white, pink, and blue petals. Telang flower is often used as a traditional medicine because it has many benefits and content in it. Therefore, in this study Telang flower was used as a prebiotic tested on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The study was carried out in vitro by the method of laboratory experiments. The design used is Post Test control group only. The test is repeated at each concentration 3 times to obtain accurate results. The inhibition zone is measured using a caliper. The result of the inhibition zone formed from 3 repetitions is taken as the average value. The test results of the minimum inhibitory concentration of probiotics against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria showed results if at a concentration of 1.25% can form an inhibitory zone of 9.47 mm. While the minimum inhibitory concentration test on prebiotics against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria showed results at a concentration of 2.5% can form an inhibitory zone of 9.02 mm. This suggests that probitiks and prebiotics can be used as antibacterials, since at the lowest concentrations used they can form an inhibitory zone. So the higher the concentration of probiotics and prebiotics used, the inhibition zone formed will be greater.

Authors: Wardhana Yuki Mahardhito Adhitya
Published: February 2024

Public Street Lighting (PSL) is part of road infrastructure that is vital for the safety and comfort of road users. The availability of PSL can also boost the economic growth of a municipality because the longevity of activities from the population and the industry is increased. The crucial role of PSL is still not being offset with good availability and management most municipalities in Indonesia still cannot fulfill the needs of good PSL requirements and using a lot of electricity. This is due to the lack of PSL management in Indonesia is caused by the limitations of technical aspect management and lack of technological availability, limitations of the administrative function as well as lack of alternative financing scheme. To accelerate the availability of PSL and to optimize the management it needs an efficient provision scheme and mitigate risk caused by the ineffective management of PSL. The methodology that is being used in this research are problem solver and risk sharing approaches. The result of this research shows that compared to conventional procurement from the state budget, the Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme can solve most of the provision and management problems of PSL. In the PPP scheme, there is a risk transfer of 80% from the government to the public sector so that PSL services are better, this is balanced by the positive value of Value for Money (VFM). The energy efficiency potential of the PSL PPP can reduce up to 53% of electrical energy use from replacing lamps in PSL. The use of LED lights makes waste from PSL more environmentally friendly because it does not contain mercury like traditional lamps which are widely used in PSL and reduces CO2 emissions produced by electrical energy.The Government must promote the PPP scheme as part of innovative financing for the provision and management of PSL in Indonesia as there are only 3 out of 514 municipalities that has already implemented the PPP scheme for PSL Project.

Published: February 2024

This research aimed to assess teachers' understanding of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) structure and investigate whether TPACK components differ based on gender characteristics. The research method used was a cross-sectional survey, a quantitative approach aimed at examining a condition at a specific point in time and exploring relationships between variables. Respondents were randomly selected from 102 teachers spread across Lombok Island, comprising 48 female teachers and 56 male teachers. The research instrument utilized a TPACK questionnaire measuring CK, PK, TK, TPTCK, and TPCK, adapted from Liang et al., 2013. The analysis results indicated that teachers demonstrated a solid understanding of Content Knowledge (CK) and Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), signifying a strong grasp of the taught material and effective teaching techniques. However, concerning Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), their understanding of how to teach specific content required further attention. Nevertheless, they exhibited a robust understanding of Technological Knowledge (TK), Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPTCK), and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK), although the level of understanding in TPCK was slightly higher than TPTCK. Meanwhile, the gender-based analysis showed significant differences in TPACK understanding between the genders in the TK, TPTCK, and TPCK components, but no significant differences were observed in the PK, CK, and PCK components. This highlights the importance of understanding gender differences related to specific aspects of technology, education, and content knowledge. Further research or in-depth analysis is needed to comprehend the underlying factors causing these differences and their implications within the educational context and curriculum development.

Odd numbers of magazines (i.e. their covers) were chosen for the sample. Also, among such covers only those showing one woman were chosen. The total number of analyzed covers is 64. The analysis process included the analysis of visual and textual elements. The analysis shows that the most represented topic on the covers is sex, followed by fashion and love. The covers of the magazine mostly show young white women with make-up, brown hair of medium length and wavy loose hair. More than half of the women on the covers have a smiling face. Also, most women bodies are presented from the knees/thighs up and most of them are women with slim bodies. By profession, the most common are actresses and singers, then models, mostly of foreign origin. As for the analyzed text by the image, in most cases it is advice, expression of personal experiences or recommendations of the people who are shown on the covers, written in the first or third person singular, which tries to influence the reader's behavior. Finally, the women on the covers are flawless, perfect women, therefore almost unreal. Although the aim of the magazine is to advise and inform women about various everyday topics, it certainly has a hidden message, which is to promote the perfect ideal of beauty that influences young women all over the world.

Mantar ekstraktlarının bağışıklık sistemi üzerindeki kesin etkileri tam olarak aydınlatılamamış olsa da uzun yıllardan beri dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde çeşitli sağlık sorunları için kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemede bir mantar ekstratı olan AHCC®’nin HPV enfeksiyonu üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanılmıştır.
Sonuç ve Tartışma: Yenilebilir bir mantar olan Lentinula edodes'in asetillenmiş α-1,4-glukanlar bakımından zenginleştirilmiş, standartlaştırılmış, kültürlenmiş bir özütü olan AHCC® sahip olduğu çeşitli farmakolojik etkileri nedeni ile HPV tedavisinde öne çıkan alternatif tedavi seçenekleri arasında yer almaktadır. Yapılan preklinik ve klinik çalışmalar, AHCC®’nin bağışıklık sistemini destekleyerek HPV tedavisi için umut veren yeni bir seçenek olabileceğini göstermektedir.
