SECURING THE FUTURE: INDONESIA PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION LAW AND IT’ S IMPLICATION FOR INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) DATA PRIVACY
Authors: Fauzie Muhamad Alfat
Published: February 2025

This paper examines Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law) in the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) context. It explores the effectiveness of the PDP Law in safeguarding personal data amidst increasing IoT integration in various sectors, notably smart homes and wearable technology. Inspired by the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the PDP Law addresses data protection with specific regard to the unique challenges posed by IoT, such as extensive data collection and heightened vulnerability to breaches. Through a comparative analysis with GDPR, the paper highlights strengths and potential areas for improvement within the Indonesian framework, suggesting enhancements like incorporating privacy by design, establishing a robust data protection authority, and creating detailed guidelines for IoT data handling. The goal is to enhance the PDP Law's capability to manage privacy risks in an interconnected digital era, ensuring adequate data protection and compliance with global standards.

Published: February 2025

Courts that accommodate dispute resolution are still not optimal in implementing fair decisions for the parties. Not only has it not created justice, but it has not been able to resolve the dispute quickly. In the end, there was a backlog of cases, so the simple, fast, low-cost justice principle was difficult to realize. Alternative Dispute Resolution is one of the efforts that can be implemented to assist the court in reducing the number of cases piling up, one of which is in the form of negotiations as regulated in Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. In principle, negotiations are concerned with implementing the Principle of Deliberation and Consensus as implied in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution as stipulated in the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act. The problematic legal issues in its implementation are compiled in this article, analyzing the weaknesses of Negotiation as an Alternative for Resolving Business Law Disputes in Indonesia as well as the context for the Implementation of Pancasila Values. The type of research used is normative juridical with descriptive research type. The results that will be discussed explain the technical weaknesses of Alternative Dispute Resolution through Negotiations, which are generally linked to business law events in Indonesia in applying Pancasila values, especially the values of Humanity and Deliberation to Consensus. This writing concludes that Alternative Dispute Resolution must continue to be pursued in resolving disputes and in minimizing the weaknesses of the process, including opinions are submitted systematically, politely, and creatively, looking for common ground wisely, viewing the other party as family to create a family atmosphere, and accommodating Pancasila values as a guide to implementing written law.
JURISDICTIONAL CYBERCRIME CRIMINALIZATION POLICY IN THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Aprita Serlika , Hanif Wangmayum
Published: February 2025

The victim and the offender are frequently in separate nations, a crime known as cybercrime transcends all borders and periods. Cybercrime can be committed using the computer itself as the method of committing the crime and the computer network system as the target. Laws governing information technology must take into account its rapid growth. Information and communication technology laws must anticipate and lessen these negative consequences. For information, media, and communication technology to progress as much as possible, legal products about cyberspace, or mayantara, must offer security and legal certainty. In response to the increasing number of cybercrimes, the government adopted a policy on April 21, 2008, with the adoption of Law No. 11 of 2008 regarding Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE). The ITE Law is Indonesia's first legislation focusing on online regulation. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that Indonesian law enforcement has been unable to combat cybercrime to the best of its abilities. Indonesian law enforcement is facing difficulties due to the growth in cybercrime. The reasons for this are a lack of public legal awareness in efforts to combat information technology crimes, limited facilities and infrastructure, and the fact that there are still relatively few law enforcement officials who are familiar with the ins and outs of information technology (internet).

Published: February 2025

The AUKUS agreement, a trilateral pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, has increased tensions between Indonesia and Australia. The deal focuses on enhancing defense capabilities, particularly by developing nuclear-powered submarines. This has broader geopolitical implications for the Asia-Pacific region and affects bilateral relations between Indonesia and Australia. The two countries have historically shared strong economic ties and cooperation in various sectors but have also faced disagreements, particularly regarding issues like West Papua and regional security alignments. Indonesia views Australia's participation in AUKUS as potentially increasing foreign military presence in the region, raising concerns about sovereignty and maritime security. The focus on nuclear submarines also raises legal and environmental considerations under international maritime law, particularly concerning exclusive economic zones (EEZs) and resource sovereignty. With the world's largest maritime territory, Indonesia emphasizes adherence to UNCLOS and calls for dialogue to manage these tensions peacefully. Some perceive the AUKUS alliance as a response to balance China's growing power, but this polarizes regional perspectives, with Southeast Asian nations expressing mixed reactions ranging from support to apprehension. The alliance's implications extend beyond military capability enhancement to include technological cooperation and regional stability efforts. In conclusion, AUKUS aims to bolster security and technological advancement in the Indo-Pacific. Still, its implementation requires careful navigation of legal, environmental, and geopolitical complexities to mitigate potential regional tensions and uphold international norms.

Published: February 2025

The phenomenon of ferienjob (seasonal work) in Germany is increasingly attractive to international students, including those from Indonesia, as it offers income opportunities and work experience abroad. However, behind the legality and attractiveness of this work, some loopholes can be used for exploitation, which in some instances can lead to the crime of trafficking in persons. This study aims to identify modes of exploitation in the context of ferienjob and evaluate the level of legal protection available to Indonesian students, both from German and Indonesian law perspectives. The study reveals the existence of covert forced labor practices, violations of labor rights, and a lack of supervision of employment agencies facilitating Indonesian students. In addition, the different legal regimes in the two countries often cause uncertainty regarding legal protection, mainly when violations occur outside the home country's jurisdiction. The results show that despite applicable legal instruments, the implementation of protection for Indonesian students working in Germany still needs to be improved.

RESISTANCE AND RESILIENCE: THE EVOLUTION OF FEMINIST VOICES IN INDIAN ENGLISH WOMEN’S POETRY
Authors: Vatsala  , Kamboj Kiran , Pant Girish
Published: February 2025

Indian English women’s poetry has undergone a significant transformation over the decades, evolving as a powerful medium for resistance and resilience against socio-cultural and patriarchal constraints. This paper explores the evolution of feminist voices in Indian English poetry, focusing on how women poets have navigated gender dynamics, tradition, and modernity to articulate their personal and collective experiences. By analyzing the works of key poets such as Kamala Das, Imtiaz Dharker, Meena Kandasamy, and Eunice de Souza, this study examines how womanhood, identity, and agency are redefined in their poetry. These poets challenge stereotypical portrayals of women, reclaiming narratives through themes of sexuality, autonomy, and subversion of patriarchal norms. The present paper is an honest attempt to attract the attention of the readers towards Resistance and Resilience: The Evolution of Feminist Voices in Indian English Women’s Poetry which refers to the defiance against oppressive social structures, while resilience denotes the strength and perseverance of women in overcoming adversities. The research scholar further writes that the present paper also delves into how Indian women poets engage with mythology, folklore, and history to critique dominant socio-religious structures while simultaneously drawing strength from Indic traditions. The reimagining of female mythological figures such as Sita, Draupadi, and Radha serves as an act of literary rebellion, reshaping these narratives from a feminist lens. The role of all the poets is very appreciable.

Authors: Shinde S. D. , Gavade Vijay S.
Published: February 2025

The relationship between bear behavior and human activities, which often have negative impacts on both sides, is the main focus of this study on human-bear conflict in Jangmahatti Dhangarwada. The main causes of encounters are habitat loss, competition for resources, and environmental changes that force bears to move into populated areas in search of food or shelter. Such incidents are particularly common during the monsoon season, due to increasing agricultural activities and inadequate sanitation in rural areas. Due to their keen sense of smell, bears are frequently attracted to human settlements by the scent of food. These conflicts are exacerbated by factors such as competition, seasonal scarcity of natural food, and habitat loss. By focusing on regional perspectives and constraints, this study attempts to integrate ecological and social insights into human-bear interactions. The results are intended to provide strategies to enhance coexistence in comparable environments and address conservation issues. Such encounters are generally observed during the months of June and July. If a bear's regular food source becomes scarce due to periodic changes, loss of territory, or hostility, it may wander into villages in search of food in garbage, produce, or animals. Similarly, bears are also attracted to animal dung. Focusing on the frequent attacks on the Dhangarwada settlement and its causes and impacts. Data was collected through interviews, field observations and review of past records to understand bear and human-wildlife interactions. The findings highlight the environmental and socio-economic factors that contribute to conflicts, as well as the vulnerability of local residents. Recommendations to reduce such encounters include community awareness programs and implementation of wildlife management policies.

The charger will run independently, employing a solar panel to give uninterruptible charging and control of home loads. The grid connected mode of operation is available in the absence of a Photovoltaic panel or when the Photovoltaic module's power is unsatisfactory. In addition, the charger is assisted by the synchronized and smooth phase shifting control, which allows it to immediately connect and disconnect from the grid, neither interfering with EV charging nor home supplies. Moreover, the battery is allowed to support grid and vehicle-to-home (V2H) power transmission with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) active/reactive power support to support local loads in island conditions. The battery is often regulated to perform as an active power filter, ensuring that the grid current has a unity power factor (UPF) and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 5 percent. The battery is intended for use with a 1 − ∅ 230V 50Hz and by using MATLAB/Simulink software to validate the simulation results.
Could an Ecosystem Perspective Support the Creation of a Nonprofit Food System? A Theoretical Exploration of the Possibilities
Authors: Sumner Jennifer
Published: February 2025

Although food has been designated a human right, most countries do not provide the means for their citizens to exercise that right. As a result, food is treated as a commodity and sold for a profit to those who can afford it, leaving millions of people undernourished as food prices rise. One solution to this problem is the establishment of a nonprofit food system. A daunting prospect—how could this be carried out? One potentially useful approach that is increasingly being applied in social economy scholarship involves an ecosystem perspective, which takes account of not only social economy organizations but also the wider environments in which they operate. Could such a perspective support the creation of a nonprofit food system? This article explores the possibilities offered by applying an ecosystem perspective to a nonprofit food system. After providing some preliminary background information on food systems, it introduces the ecosystem perspective and affirms that it can indeed support the creation of a nonprofit food system.

Introduction. Ureteral injuries are rare and account for 1-3% of urinary tract trauma. In most cases, ureteral injuries are misdiagnosed. Delayed diagnosis of ureteral trauma leads to the development of post-traumatic complications and increases disability and mortality rates among patients.

Materials and methods. Forty-four articles pertaining to ureteral injuries were reviewed. Data from these studies were compiled and analyzed. The world’s literature was searched through PubMed, Russian scientific electronic library eLibrary.ru, and Google Scholar search system.

Results and discussion. Injury to the ureter is usually iatrogenic (75-80%). Currently, the expansion of indications for surgical interventions in the abdominal cavity and pelvic organs leads to an absence of tendency to decrease ureteral injuries. In most cases, patients with ureteral injuries require surgical treatment. The primary goal for repair is to maintain renal drainage. Delayed treatment of ureteral trauma is associated with a high risk of complications, which lead to worsen the prognosis of the disease.

Conclusion. Outcomes of the ureteral trauma depends on correct choice of cure strategy and timeliness of treatment. Delay in diagnosis and treatment is correlated with a poor prognosis. Management options must be made accounting an individual approach and depend on many indicators.

Introduction. Cystitis is one of the most common bacterial infections in women. Postcoital cystitis (PC) is a special form of recurrent cystitis. Non- antibacterial methods of prophylaxis are often ineffective. The use of post-coital antibiotic prophylaxis has a good result, but this approach contradicts the current concept of rational antibiotic use. Therefore, bacteriophages have a high interest among the medical community as an alternative therapy.

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of bacteriophages using for, use for postcoital prophylaxis in patients with PC.

Material and methods. 33 female patients with PC were recruited into a prospective cohort study by non-inferiority type between 2022 and 2023. All selected patients had previously used non-antibacterial methods of cystitis prophylaxis. Based on the results of urine culture, patients were encouraged to use nitrofurantoin or bacteriophages after sexual intercourse as a PC prophylaxis strategy. The duration of follow-up was 3 months.

Results. In 80% of the patients who used bacteriophage, no episodes of recurrent PC were noted throughout the follow-up period. No side effects were observed. Side effects were noted in five patients taking nitrofurantoin. The efficacy in the control group was 85.7% (p=0.684).

Conclusion. Our data demonstrate that the use of bacteriophage after sexual intercourse to prevent PC may be a safe alternative to antibiotic pro- phylaxis with comparable efficacy.

Pakistani Newspapers Representation of Religious Groups
Authors: Elareshi Mokhtar , Habes Mohammed , Ali Sana
Published: February 2025

Pakistan is a multi-religious and multicultural society, home to Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and followers of other prominent faiths. This diversity extends beyond religious distinctions to encompass cultural and ethnic variations. Media, particularly newspapers, play a crucial role in shaping public perceptions of these religious groups, emphasizing the importance of impartial and responsible journalism. This study conducts a content analysis of 84 news articles from leading Pakistani newspapers to scrutinize the portrayal of religious groups. The Findings reveal an unequal distribution of media coverage, with Christians receiving the highest attention compared to other non-Muslim groups. While the portrayal of non-Muslim groups is predominantly positive (90.5%), instances of anti-Ahmadi content reflect complexity in media narratives. The findings note a significant focus on the well-being of religious groups and their contributions to society, with 85.7% of articles highlighting religious events. The positive representation reflects broader societal discourse acknowledging diverse contributions and cultural expressions. However, the study raises critical questions about editorial decisions, journalistic priorities, and societal dynamics influencing media narratives.

This study aims to determine how the Intertext in Modern Kazakh Prose teaching methods applied in second-year university literature courses affect students' academic success and attitudes toward cultural values in literature. The study employed a pre-test-post-test experimental model, incorporating a control group using a quasi-experimental model. The study sample comprised 54 students in the second year of the literature department of a university in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The success of the research groups in Intertext in Modern Kazakh Prose was evaluated, and an attitude scale regarding cultural values in literature was applied. The experimental and control groups received the same test and scale as a post-test after the five-week application period. The IBM SPSS v26 package program was used to perform a Mann-Whitney U Test analysis of the data. The research revealed that intertextual teaching methods effectively developed students' academic achievement and cultural attitudes in higher education. The experimental group exposed to intertextual approaches made significant progress compared to the control group following traditional ones. The results suggest that educators should equip themselves with the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills to effectively apply intertextual methods and consider the usability of these methods for cultural awareness through literature. In terms of future research, long-term studies examining the permanent effects of intertextual teaching methods on students' academic and cultural development are recommended.
Assessing Artificiality: A Probe into the Basis for Indian Nationhood
Authors: Kataria Shyamal
Published: February 2025

While students of nationalism, ardent primordialists aside, will be fully aware that all nations are, at their core, artificial constructs, there is nonetheless an implicit acceptance that some nations are more artificial than others. To suggest that certain nations are more artificial than others is not, on its own, an absurd claim, providing, of course, that appropriate criteria are used to measure this “artificiality” against. One country that has had to bear such charges is India, namely because, it is said, its people are far too diverse to be realistically considered members of a singular nation and because it lacks sufficient antiquity as a nation. This article will seek to respond to such charges by providing a glimpse into India’s past and ancient belief systems that many laypeople remain ignorant of, the knowledge of which will significantly help to challenge the claim that India is nothing but an artificial construct.

Background: Mobile banking adoption continues to grow, but user retention remains a challenge. Understanding the factors influencing continuance intention is crucial for improving long-term engagement. Prior research highlights the importance of confirmation, perceived usefulness, security, satisfaction, trust, and convenience, yet their interrelationships require further exploration. Objective: This study examines key determinants of users' intention to continue using mobile banking services, focusing on how confirmation, perceived usefulness, security, satisfaction, trust, and convenience influence this decision. Methods: A quantitative study was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze relationships among these factors. Data were collected from mobile banking users and assessed for statistical significance. Results: Confirmation significantly impacts perceived usefulness (0.576) and satisfaction (0.527). Perceived usefulness influences satisfaction (0.289) and continuance intention (0.396), while satisfaction also affects continuance intention (0.240). Trust plays a role (0.211), and perceived security strongly influences trust (0.651). Perceived convenience also impacts continuance intention (0.304), emphasizing its importance in user experience. Conclusion: Confirmation and security are critical for satisfaction and trust, which drive continued mobile banking use. Strengthening security, improving perceived usefulness, and fostering trust can enhance user retention. Future studies should explore additional variables, test the model across demographics, and assess the impact of emerging technologies like AI and blockchain. Longitudinal and experimental research may offer deeper insights into these evolving relationships.

Farmers, Chemicals and Fertility of Soil: A Quest to Sustainability
Authors: Katherasala Srinivas , Bheenaveni Ram Shepherd , Thaduru Surender , Deekonda Thirupathi
Published: February 2025

This study examines the evolving use of synthetic chemicals in intensive agriculture over the past decade. It highlights the negative impacts of chemical inputs on soil health and ecosystem integrity and recommends knowledge-sharing platforms, soil protection laws, and collaborative efforts between regulatory agencies and agricultural experts. The study emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that includes natural methods alongside synthetic chemicals, particularly herbicides. Ten years ago, farmers primarily used urea, DAP, and potassium for nutrients. However, increased awareness, market forces, and government subsidies have led to a significant rise in herbicide use as a cost-effective weed management strategy. Over the past decade, synthetic fertilizer use for cotton cultivation has increased by 80%, leading to deteriorating soil quality. Paddy cultivation has decreased by 23%, while cotton cultivation has increased by 20.4% due to higher economic incentives. Currently, 89.1% of farmers use herbicides, compared to 97.2% who did not a decade ago. Insecticide use has also surged, with 97.8% of farmers applying 1.5 liters or more per acre. The excessive use of chemicals threatens soil fertility and disrupts the ecosystem’s balance. This article explores the reasons behind the adoption of chemical-intensive farming practices and offers insights into farmers’ decision-making processes. The careful use of synthetic chemicals is essential to safeguard soil health and maintain ecological balance.

Published: February 2025

High-speed rail (HSR) systems have emerged as a transformative force in urban development, reshaping cities by enhancing connectivity, fostering economic growth, and influencing land use patterns. By reducing travel times and improving accessibility, HSR facilitates regional integration, stimulates investment, and promotes sustainable urban expansion. This paper examines the multifaceted impact of HSR on urban development through a comprehensive analysis of economic, environmental, and social dimensions. The study integrates case studies, statistical data, and comparative analyses to assess how HSR influences urban expansion, property values, business dynamics, and sustainability. Key economic benefits include increased commercial activity, enhanced labor market efficiency, and growth in tourism and real estate sectors. Environmentally, HSR contributes to reduced carbon emissions by encouraging shifts from air and road travel to rail. Socially, it improves mobility, reduces congestion, and enhances the quality of life for urban and suburban populations.

Background: Management of mandibular fractures is usually associated with teeth at the fracture line. The involvement of impacted teeth in mandibular angle fractures is a consideration for the surgeon to retain or extract them.

Purpose: This case report aims to discuss the necessity to retain or remove an impacted tooth in the mandibular angle fracture line.

Case: A 23-year-old woman came to the emergency installation with complaints of lumpy bite and pain due to falling from the motorbike with his chin hitting the asphalt. Discontinuity was found in the mandibular border of the right angle and left parasymphysis regions. Tooth 48 is impacted and is in the fracture line of the mandibular angle region. The diagnosis of mandibular segmental fractures in the right mandibular angulus region and left mandibular parasymphysis and total impaction of 48 class II position B (Pell & Gregory) were established.

Case management: Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) plating on right mandibular angulus and left mandibular parasymphysis was performed with the use of inter maxillary fixation with rubber ligature. Odontectomy of the impacted tooth involved in the fracture line was also done.

Conclusion: The impacted tooth at the fracture line was removed in order to facilitate repositioning and fixation of the mandibular angle and with the consideration of delayed healing which may increase the chance of infection.

Background: The fixed drug combination (FDC) of glimepiride and metformin effectively controls blood glucose and improves glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the FDC of glimepiride and metformin in managing type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials and Methods: This retrospective, non-comparative, multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted at tertiary care centers in Nepal. Adult patients (aged 18 years or older) with T2DM were included. Primary outcomes included changes in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and postprandial glucose (PPG) levels.

Results: A total of 287 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 55.6 years and a predominance of females (62.41%). The average body mass index was 27.49 kg/m² and the median duration of T2DM was 4 years. Common risk factors included obesity (53.31%), smoking (45.30%), and a sedentary lifestyle (36.59%). The most prevalent treatment regimen was the combination of glimepiride 1 mg and metformin 1000 mg sustained release (54.77%). Post-glimepiride and metformin 1000 mg sustained release, the mean changes in HbA1c, FPG, and PPG were significant, with reductions of 2.45%, 64.53 mg/dL, and 102.64 mg/dL, respectively (P<0.001, each). Overall, physicians evaluated the efficacy and tolerability as good to excellent responses in a higher proportion of patients (94.9% and 96.2%, respectively).

Conclusion: The combination of glimepiride and metformin 1000 mg sustained release effectively improves glycemic control in patients with T2DM while demonstrating a favorable safety profile

This paper examines the role of cloud-based prototyping in scalable software development, focusing on the rapid deployment and testing capabilities provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Traditional approaches find it difficult to meet the need for quick, scalable, and affordable prototyping as software development needs more agility. To overcome these obstacles, cloud platforms such as AWS provide adaptable, on-demand infrastructure. This study assesses how AWS products, such as Relational Database Service (RDS), Lambda, and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), affect prototype cycles through a number of experiments. The results show that by automating infrastructure management, AWS greatly shortens deployment times, allowing for faster application delivery. Before a full-scale deployment, developers can improve apps thanks to AWS's support for effective load testing and quick iterations. The study shows how AWS improves scalability, reduces operational overhead, and expedites testing procedures, providing useful information for businesses looking to use cloud platforms to speed up software development.

Penelitian ini mengenai keanekaragaman musuh alami dari lebah Tetragonula leaviceps (tanpa sengat). Musuh alami yang didapatkan berperan sebagai predator, mencuri madu, dan merusak sarang (pengganggu). Dilaksanakan selama bulan September hingga November 2020 di Perkebunan Caping Merapi Sleman, Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode random sampling dalam pengambilan spesies-spesiesnya. Semua musuh alami yang sudah diidentifikasi didapatkan sebanyak 11 spesies musuh alami lebah Tetragonula leaviceps. Spesies-spesies tersebut teridentifikasi dari 628 individu yang terdiri dari kelas Insecta, Arachnida, dan Reptilia. Semua dari kelas tersebut merupakan predator yang potensial, tetapi sebagian yang berperan sebagai mencuri madu dan merusak sarang hanya ada pada famili Formicidae. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menambah pengetahuan dalam budidaya lebah tanpa sengat sehingga bisa lebih memaksimalkan kotak sarang, area atau habitat sarang, dan tanaman pendukung sebagai sumber pakan lebah.
