The cosmetics industry is seeing rapid growth, particularly in producing anti-aging serums containing plant extracts rich in antioxidants. This serum was created to analyze parameter values, particularly antioxidants, acquired by including extracts of aloe vera, binahong leaves, and mangosteen peel. The extraction process involved soaking dry aloe vera, binahong leaves, and mangosteen peel in a 1:5 (w/v) ratio of 96% ethanol for 3 days. The filtrate from the maceration process was concentrated using a rotary evaporator at 55°C until a thick extract was obtained. The IC50 values obtained for antioxidant test results using the DPPH technique were 10169 ppm for aloe vera extract, 13438 ppm for binahong leaf extract, and 51.034 ppm for mangosteen peel extract. The IC50 values in serum are aloe vera serum at 59681 ppm, binahong leaf serum at 54.652 ppm, and mangosteen peel serum at 43.747 ppm. This research evaluated parameters according to SNI 16-4399-1996. Based on the IC50 antioxidant value and other characteristics, mangosteen peel extract and serum are ideal for development, production, and commercialization as facial care products with anti-aging properties.

As with the rest of the production, the Batik industry hurts people's lives due to dyes. When discharged into the river, this dye will directly cause environmental pollution, one of which is the disruption of photosynthesis of aquatic plants and can cause disease for living things. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to overcome this. This study aims to determine the effect of adsorbent time variation and dose variation on methylene blue and malachite green adsorption. Adsorption is the absorption of solution molecules that occur on an adsorbent surface. The adsorbent used is Eucalyptus distillation leaf waste with KOH activation treatment using the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The measurement method uses UV-Vis spectrophotometry to analyze methylene blue and malachite green levels at the maximum wavelength. The results showed that the best % removal to adsorb methylene blue was 52.84% and malachite green 88.03% at a dose of 0.2 gram, and the optimum contact time to adsorb malachite green and methylene blue was 20 minutes. The adsorption Model in this study followed the Isotherm of Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption on malachite green with R2 of 0.872 and 0.612 for non-activation and 0.964 and 0.095 for KOH activation, while methylene blue obtained 0.636 and 0.143 for non-activation and 0.850 and 0.545 for KOH activation. Based on the study results, it was concluded that the distillation of Eucalyptus leaf waste is more effective in adsorbing malachite green.

Published: February 2025

Our study on degumming, a preliminary treatment commonly used in oil refining, and the specific method of acid degumming has practical implications. We investigate degumming turpentine's mass transfer and chemical reaction using phosphoric acid solutions, providing valuable insights for real-world applications. The experiment was conducted at a specific temperature (40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C), involving 100 ml of turpentine with 10 ml of 50% phosphoric acid solution in a stirred three-neck flask. The mixing was performed for 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes using a mechanical stirrer. The degumming process of turpentine follows a chemical regime, and the model provides a constant value for the mass transfer coefficient (Kcpa). The constant reaction rate in the acid phase (k) increases with temperature. This relationship can be represented by the equation provided. The equation is valid within the temperature range of 313 K to 353 K, with an average relative error of 0.9428.

Published: February 2025

The research purpose is to find out the development of regional expansion in Indonesia from the point of view of development law theory. The research method used in this study indeed uses the type of juridical normative research. While the approach to be taken by the author is a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data analysis used by the author is descriptive qualitative data analysis. The discussion results in this study are two things: first, expansion in Indonesia is considered quite significant, primarily. This expansion is carried out in the framework of national development. But regional expansion cannot be separated from dilemmas, especially political dilemmas, administrative dilemmas, and dilemmas in terms of regional inequality. Second, regional expansion viewed from the point of view of development law theory is undoubtedly related to the role of law as a means. Law occupies a vital role in the means of regional expansion. The law plays an essential role in the legislative process of regional expansion because the autonomous regions that will secede must be based on the products of the law.
NEW PATTERNS OF PALM LICENSING EXPANSION: ACCESS AND POWER RELATIONS IN FOREST AREAS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Nur Asih Sani , Andreas Rico , Yudhi Rifka , Alfian Fajar Bima
Published: February 2025

Indonesia is one of the most significant palm oil contributors in the world. Palm oil is one of the leading commodities supporting the running of Indonesia's national economy. The high influence of the economic growth of oil palm in Indonesia has caused a shift in the cultivation of rubber and other conventional cash crops at the community level, changing to oil palm regardless of the role of oil palm in the nation's economy. The oil palm plantation industry is not welcomed by some Indonesian people affected by oil palm plantations. This is because the practice of oil palm plantations in Indonesia is suspected as one of the triggers for various environmental and social problems, such as deforestation, clearing of peatlands, forest fires, loss of biodiversity, and tenure conflicts. The issues to be discussed are, first, how the permits are granted to the palm oil industry in forest areas by the government; second, what control strategy must be carried out against the palm oil industry in Indonesian forest areas. This research was conducted using the socio-legal research method. Without an accountable and strict control system in the licensing process, it will impact the large number of oil palm plantation permits issued that tend to violate spatial regulations. Apart from that, further regulation of policies regarding palm oil in the work copyright law will increase the length of conflicts that occur and complicate reforming palm oil governance. Applying the "whitewash smell" model as a settlement effort will only reduce the chances of settlement, ignore permits, not be transparent, and ultimately harm the community.
THE SIX ARROWS OF ATATÜRKISM, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE EQUAL RIGHTS OF WOMEN
Authors: Perger Ádám
Published: February 2025

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, figures in Turkish history, and he did not earn this title without reason. The reforms and innovations he brought to Turkey brought about real change in theory and natural social and political terms. One of the most striking manifestations of these reforms was the so-called 'six arrows' system, which effectively summed up Atatürk's political essence and ideas. In this paper, I will describe the elements of the 'six arrows' system, examining their social and political implications, particularly the steps taken to achieve women's equality. I have chosen impact analysis as the research method, as I considered it appropriate in the context of women's emancipation, given the many social impacts of introducing new legislation in Turkish society. In my thesis, I have greatly emphasized the historical overview of the right to marry freely - primarily from a legal-historical perspective- to obtain a genuinely complex picture of the six arrows system as manifested in law practice. In choosing the research method, I proceeded from the assumption that the various disciplines and applied sciences now make it possible to predict the expected consequences of legislative decisions with varying degrees of reliability, and to examine the results of decisions already taken after the event, comparing the facts with the anticipated effects. Suppose we accept that the purpose of legislation is to produce some consequence. In that case, an impact assessment is a prominent tool for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of individual legislative products and the legislative process.
INVISIBLE DISPLACEMENT: A CALL FOR COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL PROTECTION FOR "OTHER PERSONS OF CONCERN
Authors: Yatani Vincent Godana
Published: February 2025

The global debate on forced migration, which focuses on international legal frameworks and policies, is subjugated mainly by the refugee narratives. The plight of displaced individuals who have been compelled to leave their homes but remain within their own country has received considerably less attention in the international arena due to the absence of a specific international legal framework that comprehensively addresses their unique challenges. These individuals, often generalized as "other persons of concern," attract little to no attention for protection and assistance from the global community. This research explores the legal protections currently available to "other persons of concern," and identifies gaps and challenges in these frameworks. The article analyzes existing literature on the subject, judicial decisions, and relevant legal instruments using the legal research method. The article argues for the urgent need to create a comprehensive legal framework that recognizes and protects the rights of "other persons of concern." Ultimately, this research makes a compelling call for the international community to recognize the vulnerability of "other persons of concern" and the pressing need to shift the discourse on forced displacement toward a more inclusive and comprehensive approach that recognizes the plight of all those who have been forcibly displaced, regardless of whether they have crossed an international border or not.
THE PROGRESS OF ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW IN INDONESIA: AN ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMIC AND THE URGENCY OF IT’S IMPLEMENTATION
Authors: Vianne Virginia Harizta
Published: February 2025

Although the application of Islamic criminal law still raises pros and cons due to the assumption that the sanctions tend to be sadistic. It does not mean Islamic criminal law is impossible to apply in Indonesia. Positive law in Indonesia results from thinking based on three components that substantially influence European, customary, and Islamic law. The problem related to the formation of positive law in Indonesia is the position of Islamic law, especially those still vague and unfamiliar to the public. So that the formulation of the problem in this study is: how are the dynamics of existence and the urgency of applying Islamic criminal law in Indonesia? This research used normative juridical methods or legal research. The study results show that the dynamics of Islamic criminal law in Indonesia began in the colonial period as a subsystem of customary law. As for the legalization process of Islamic law or criminal law in Indonesian law, it cannot be carried out easily due to the tendency of the influence of Western state law, which previously colonized Indonesia. Nowadys, Islamic criminal law has been applied to one of Indonesia’s regions, namely Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. Another dynamic that Indonesia has to face in implementing Islamic criminal law is the existence of a stigma that punishment in Islamic criminal law seems sadistic and inhumane or violates human rights. The urgency of implementing Islamic criminal law in Indonesia is that Islamic criminal law contains more than all the goals commonly known in the world of criminal law, namely retribution, deterrence, and reformation.

Published: February 2025

Investment can be an important instrument for Indonesia because natural resources are abundant, but only a small portion can be explored by Indonesian citizens because they are constrained by not having large capital. Exploration requires large funds; therefore, the government brings foreign investors to Indonesia. Investors need to be a very important part of realizing the nation's ideals for the welfare of the people, as stated in the preamble of the 1945 Constitution. Investment can be put to good use to enhance economic development and become one of the instruments to increase the nation's national income. For this reason, after the decision of the Constitutional Court No. 91/PUUXVIII/2022, it will have a good impact on Indonesia's economic recovery. This research is a normative juridical research based on applicable legal sources. This research was analyzed descriptively with a qualitative approach. The results of the research will explain the effectiveness of the Constitutional Court's decision and see its impact on the Indonesian economy.

Published: February 2025

The judge's verdict in the judicial system in a legal country has an important meaning in realizing justice and public order. The judge, in carrying out his obligation to decide a criminal case, besides guided by Indonesian Code of Criminal Procedure (KUHAP) and the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) rules, must also be guided by the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Judges (KE and PPH). This article analyzes legal certainty regarding criminal verdicts from judges proven to have violated the code of ethics. This research method uses normative Judicial legal research. The research results show that in recent times, there has been a lot of public news regarding alleged KE and PPH violations. Some of this resulted in verdicts against several judges the Judicial Commission sanctioned. This report also found several reports of alleged violations of the Judge's Code of Ethics related to criminal cases. Apart from that, conditions were also found where the judge's code of ethics was questioned because the judge violated the judge's duties and authority, namely accepting, examining, and deciding criminal cases based on the principles of freedom, honesty, and impartiality in court. The suggestion put forward is the need for regulation in the Criminal Procedure Code regarding the issue of whether a criminal verdict is valid or not if a judge is proven to have violated the code of ethics.

Published: February 2025

Extradition treaties are agreements between countries worldwide that involve the extradition of suspects or perpetrators of crimes, including economic crimes. Extradition treaties are between two countries to prevent transnational or cross-border crimes where the perpetrators flee to another country because they do not want to take responsibility for what they did. Extradition treaties have binding legal force following international law because they are international treaties. The extradition treaty made by Indonesia and Singapore is evidence of their positive cooperation in protecting law enforcement. Over the past few years, suspected Indonesian economic criminals have fled to Singapore with large amounts of money and capital. While Indonesian law cannot be applied to Singaporean territory, in the event of an extradition treaty between Indonesia and Singapore, it would have significant consequences. Suspected economic criminals can be brought back to Indonesia to be sentenced per applicable laws, while Singapore cannot. So this research aims to analyze the Extradition Treaty between Indonesia and Singapore According to International Law (Case Study of Tackling Corruption).

Published: February 2025

The discourse on extending the village head’s term of office has triggered debates, especially following the revision of the Village Law in 2023, which now allows a 9-year term for two periods. However, according to constitutional norms, Indonesia is a State of Law (Rechtsstaat), which means limiting power by the law. This study aims to map the discourse surrounding this extension in online media and analyze the perceptions of Girikerto Village residents on the relationship between the extension and village progress, viewed through the lens of good governance. The research employs big data discourse network analysis and case studies to track dominant arguments and actors involved. The study reveals that political elites dominate the pro-extension discourse, arguing it stabilizes village politics, while community opposition highlights the risk of corruption and governance inefficiencies. Drawing on Bachrach and Baratz's elite theory, this research examines how elite groups influence decision-making processes. Additionally, it explores local perceptions, showing that residents reject the extension due to concerns over inclusiveness, fairness, and the effectiveness of governance. This study contributes to the debate by offering a nuanced analysis of village head term extensions' legal and governance implications.
CRIMINOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CYBERBULLYING CRIMES OCCURRING ON SOCIAL MEDIA (STUDY OF COMMENTS ON THE TIKTOK ACCOUNT ELYNAWA21)
Authors: Harefa Safaruddin , Ismawati Sri , Hertini Mega Fitri
Published: February 2025

This research aims to examine the phenomenon of crime in the social media landscape, particularly cyberbullying, which has become increasingly prevalent. The primary focus is on how the development of information and communication technology has facilitated bullying on social media platforms. Utilizing the social control theory by Travis Hirschi and Michael Gottfredson, this study emphasizes that individuals with weak attachments to social institutions, such as family, school, or community, are more susceptible to engaging in criminal behavior, including cyberbullying. This study analyzes comments targeting the physical appearance of individuals, where the lack of social supervision and weak self-control are identified as key factors contributing to cyberbullying behavior. Additionally, a low awareness of legal frameworks, such as the ITE Law governing online harassment, further intensifies this issue. The novelty of this research lies in applying social control theory within the context of cyberbullying on social media, highlighting the importance of strengthening social bonds and implementing social control mechanisms as preventive strategies. The study also provides valuable insights into the need for more effective law enforcement and educational efforts to mitigate and address the rising cases of cyberbullying in the digital age.

Authors: Mahaputra Muhd. Hamka , Septiana Dewi , Kh K A Rahman , Atasever Yaşar Nuri
Published: February 2025

The“development of information technology in the health sector has significantly changed how health services are delivered and regulated. One important change is the shift from conventional informed consent (oral or written) to e-consent or electronic technology-based consent. According to Article 335 of Law No. 17 Year 2023 on Health. Informed consent is a key element in ethical and legal medical practice. The main principle is the individual must give that consent. Based on Article 2 paragraph (1) Permenkes RI Number 290 /Menkes / Per / III / 2008 concerning Medical Action Consent states that “All actions that will be carried out on patients must obtain consent”, therefore the article aims to analyze the rules for implementing e-consent and the obstacles to the application of e-consent in health services, especially at the Hospital Rsud Zainal Abidin Pagar Alam Way Kanan. This research method uses normative Judicial legal research. The results showed that the rules for e-consent have been regulated in Indonesian legislation, but the use of e-consent has weaknesses, such as patients, doctors, and other medical personnel not being accustomed to changes from conventional to digitalization. In addition, inadequate equipment from the Hospital is also an obstacle to implementing this E-consent service.”The proposed suggestion is the need for improvement and training regarding the rules and work practice training related to e-consent between doctors, medical personnel, and patients at Zainal Pagar Alam Way Kanan Hospital.

Published: February 2025

Background/Aim: Appendicitis is a common acute abdominal disease seen in the emergency department (ED). Early diagnosis of appendicitis can reduce time to treatment and prevent complications. In this study, we aimed to compare the interpretation of computer tomography (CT) scans between emergency physicians and radiologists.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study that enrolled patients with CT scans for suspected acute appendicitis in an academic hospital from July 2019 to May 2020. Analysis of the accuracy of the diagnosis of appendicitis and time from completion of CT scan were compared between emergency physicians and radiologists.
Results: A total of 318 patients with appendicitis were included. Patients arriving at the hospital during off-hours were younger (mean difference: 5, P=0.016) and more commonly had normal C-reactive protein (chi-square: 11.19, P<0.001). Neither group’s interpretation of appendicitis was affected by arrival time, and both groups performed differential diagnosis well (emergency physician area under curve [AUC]: 0.912 vs. radiologist AUC: 0.911). Time to CT interpretation by emergency physicians was significantly lower than by radiologists (mean difference: -217.37 min, P<0.001).
Conclusions: The interpretation of abdominal CT scans for acute appendicitis by emergency physicians was more efficient and equally accurate compared to interpretation by radiologists.

This paper examines the impact of remote working on the operational costs of IT companies, with a specific focus on changes in facilities costs, employee benefits, and other administrative expenses. Utilizing a comparative approach, the study collects quantitative data from financial reports of selected IT companies. Preliminary findings suggest that remote work has led to a reduction in direct office-related expenses but has introduced new costs related to digital infrastructure and cybersecurity. The research also explores the long-term implications of these shifts, including potential savings from reduced real estate investments and increased expenditures on virtual collaboration tools. By analyzing these trends, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of cost heads and find if these are affected by the work-from-home (WFH) operating model in the IT industry, offering valuable insights for policymakers and corporate leaders as they strategize future working models.
REVISITING SHAH JO RISALO: A CRITIQUE OF ITS ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS
Authors: Sharma Jayesh Durgadas
Published: February 2025

Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai’s Shah Jo Risalo is a cornerstone of Sindhi literature, revered for its rich blend of Sufi mysticism, folklore, and philosophical depth. The work explores profound themes of divine love, human suffering, and spiritual trials through allegorical narratives centered on iconic heroines like Sassui, Marvi, and Sohni. Despite its significance, Shah Jo Risalo poses formidable challenges for translators due to its complex metaphors, idiomatic expressions, and symbolic depth. This paper critically analyzes prominent English translations by Elsa Kazi, Amena Khamisani, and H.T. Sorley, focusing on their fidelity to the original text, preservation of cultural nuances, and poetic form. Elsa Kazi’s translation, while accessible, simplifies Bhittai’s spiritual and symbolic motifs, diminishing the mystical resonance. Amena Khamisani emphasizes literal accuracy but often sacrifices poetic fluidity and emotional impact. H.T. Sorley’s interpretative approach imposes Western philosophical frameworks, such as existentialism, overshadowing Bhittai’s Sufi themes. Through translated excerpts in Sindhi and English, this paper illustrates how these translations have influenced global perceptions of Bhittai’s work, sometimes distorting his spiritual vision. The study highlights the tension between "foreignization" and "domestication" in translation theory, arguing that future efforts must strike a balance to maintain both poetic elegance and cultural authenticity. Collaborative translation involving Sindhi scholars and linguists is recommended to bridge cultural gaps and convey the richness of Bhittai’s legacy to international audiences. This paper underscores the need for nuanced translations that faithfully reflect Bhittai’s profound poetic and spiritual genius.

NARRATIVE DYNAMICS IN CROSS-CULTURAL POETRY: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF KANHAIYALAL SETHIA AND WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
Authors: Rao Ashok Singh , Meenakshi
Published: February 2025

Narratology, the study of narrative structures and techniques, is an effective tool for analyzing Kanhaiyalal Sethia and William Wordsworth’s poetry. Despite their origins in different cultural and historical contexts, both poets demonstrate mastery of narrative strategies that extend beyond their immediate surroundings. Sethia’s poetry, which is rooted in Rajasthani cultural and spiritual traditions, employs allegory, minimalism, and temporal fluidity to explore morality, spirituality, and human connection. Wordsworth, a key figure in English Romanticism, explores the interplay of nature, memory, and self-awareness through autobiographical reflection, vivid imagery, and temporal layering. This paper compares their narrative techniques, with a focus on narrative voice, temporal manipulation, symbolic imagery, and dialogic engagement. The study emphasizes the universality of their poetic themes as well as their distinctive contributions to literary narratology through textual analysis. This study highlights the poetry’s timeless relevance in shaping literary and cultural discourses by placing it within the larger framework of narrative theory.
