Authors: Hidayati Hidayati , Madison Martin Saur , Syafi'uddin Syafi'uddin , El Fikri M. Adib
Published: January 2025

Perlindungan hukum bagi guru honorer menjadi isu yang penting dalam menjaga keadilan dan keberlanjutan pendidikan di Indonesia. Kasus Supriyani, seorang guru honorer di Konawe Selatan, menjadi sorotan terkait tuduhan kekerasan terhadap siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan hukum bagi guru honorer dalam menjalankan tugasnya berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2005 tentang Guru dan Dosen serta regulasi terkait lainnya. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual dan peraturan perundang-undangan. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif melalui kajian literatur hukum dan kasus terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2005 telah memberikan landasan hukum yang jelas bagi guru, termasuk perlindungan dalam melaksanakan tugas profesional. Namun, implementasi regulasi tersebut belum optimal, terutama bagi guru honorer yang sering kali menghadapi diskriminasi dalam status dan hak-haknya. Penerapan prinsip restorative justice diusulkan sebagai langkah strategis untuk menyelesaikan konflik antara guru dan siswa dengan pendekatan yang lebih manusiawi dan mendidik. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya pembaruan kebijakan pendidikan yang memperkuat perlindungan hukum bagi guru honorer, termasuk peningkatan sosialisasi hukum dan pelatihan manajemen emosi serta penegakan hukum yang berkeadilan. Hal ini diharapkan dapat menciptakan lingkungan pendidikan yang adil, aman, dan berkualitas bagi semua pihak.

Published: January 2025

Preterm birth presents a significant challenge, particularly in developing nations like Kenya. The survival of preterm infants in neonatal care units is influenced by a complex array of factors, encompassing maternal health, neonatal characteristics, and institutional practices. Understanding these factors is imperative for enhancing preterm infant care. In this study, we investigated survival determinants among preterm infants at a Kenyan tertiary hospital to improve neonatal care practices and outcomes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we integrated retrospective data analysis of preterm baby files with a nursing staff survey. Statistical analysis was utilized to correlate factors with preterm birth. Antenatal care (ANC) attendance emerged as a crucial factor, with the risk of preterm birth reduced by 68% for those attending four or more ANC visits (X2=6.47, p=0.01). Cesarean section,which accounted for 45% of deliveries, showed a significant association with maternal age (X2=3.93, p=0.04). The implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care resulted in a notable 45% reduction in neonatal mortality (p<0.001, 95% CI [0.36, 0.55]). Mortality risk was highest among extremely preterm infants (20%) and decreased progressively, reaching 95% for those born at 28-32 weeks’ gestation. Moreover, 44% of infants had very low birth weight (1000-1500 grams), and females exhibited a lower survival rate (81%) compared to males (92%). All infants initiated breastfeeding within an hour, promoting health and survival. Additionally, corticosteroid administration significantly reduced neonatal morbidity (p<0.001, 95% CI [0.25, 0.44]). However, inadequate staffing levels were noted, underscoring the need for improvement. Proper humidification was found to enhance respiratory care, while the utilization of medical advances improved outcomes. This research emphasizes the importance of neonatal care considerations in reducing preterm infant mortality, thereby informing interventions at healthcare facilities.

Nowadays gaming addiction includes different age groups: from teenagers to the elderly. One of the important issues in the whole world as well as in Armenia is the prevention of the spread of gambling addiction among teenagers and adolescents. So, the problem of the tendency to gambling addiction among adolescents is relevant, as it often causes family conflicts, relationship breakdown, impoverishment and even suicide. For adolescents, gambling can be perceived as an opportunity to discharge, express their aggression, and raise their voices. Additionally, some gambling may seem like a way to make easy money.
Gambling addiction and the nervous system have been studied separately in many works, but there are a few studies on the specifics of their interrelationship. Studying the specific features of the nervous system of adolescents with gambling addiction is important for the prevention of gambling addiction. Awareness among parents and teachers is especially important in developing addiction prevention strategies, which can reduce the tendency of adolescents to become addicted.

Key words: sprinting, agility, training, muscular system, sprinter, motor ability

In athletics, there are short, medium, and long runs, as well as hurdles. The development of agility in short runs depends on the speed of movements, primarily determined by the corresponding neural activity of the brain. This activity causes tension and relaxation of muscles that provide direction to movements and coordinate them. Agility development is significantly influenced by sports technique perfection, muscle strength and elasticity, joint mobility, and, in the long term, the athlete's endurance. Natural endowments and tendencies play a crucial role in agility development. However, the key factors are training and coaching. Through many years of systematic training, athletes can substantially enhance their agility. The following study focuses on researching the agility of athletes in short-distance running. It aims to develop methods and means that will aid in cultivating this ability through multi-year systematic training. Consequently, the primary tools for enhancing the agility of young sprinters include speed training, along with specific and general endurance exercises. Speed training encompasses various additional methods designed to improve both speed and strength. The goal is to enhance specialized training and achieve superior sports performance.

Key words: mythologization, historical novel, structuralism, ornamental prose, mythological worldview, historical thinking

From the perspective of structural features and the construction of a myth-making narrative, Levon Khechoyan’s historical novel “King Arshak, Eunuch Drastamat”, published in 1995 on the eve of the 21st century, stands out in modern Armenian prose. Literary scholars who have studied this novel have emphasized its mythological character and myth-like structure. However, the epic narrative of the novel has yet to undergo structural analysis. Furthermore, no comprehensive study of the structure of myth-making narratives has been conducted in Armenian literature, which makes a structural examination of the epic narrative in L. Khechoyan’s “King Arshak, Eunuch Drastamat” particularly relevant in this context. The subject of this article is the structure of the epic narrative in L. Khechoyan’s novel. The aim of the paper is to explore the features of the myth-like structure in the text. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to analyze the structure of the myth-making narrative and its epic elements. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the structural study of the myth-making epic narrative in “King Arshak, Eunuch Drastamat” by L. Khechoyan, as well as in identifying its structural characteristics.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the classroom management challenges novice teachers experience in their first year of teaching. In addition, novice teachers experience challenges because of the differences they face in the theory they have studied and the actual class situation that they have to manage. For this purpose, a basic qualitative research design was employed, and in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with novice elementary-secondary school teachers using purposive sampling. The novice teachers who attained a degree in teacher education did their first job in public elementary schools in Lahore and had less than two years of experience, which was the sample of this study. It was found that the majority of the teachers opted for this profession by choice and were satisfied with their job. It was found that they have learned classroom management in teacher education programs, such as developing lesson plans, managing class routines and class rules, monitoring students’ work, and involving students through class participation and activities. The novice teachers developed class rules, prepared in class with content preparation and planned activities, established rapport with students, and roamed around students to monitor their learning. However, novice teachers faced challenges related to students’ behaviors because of high-class strength, unwillingness to learn, disruptive students, and frequent absenteeism from class. Novice teachers could be facilitated by providing support to address these challenges.
Clarification on the Concept of Centrality Within Social Networks
Authors: Luqman Ahmad
Published: January 2025

In this article, the logical basis for measuring structural centrality in social networks is looked at. The current measures are looked at to see if they can be understood and if they make sense. There are three different intuitive ideas of centrality that have been found, and existing measurements are improved to describe these ideas. For each idea, three measurements are made: one that shows how centralized the network is as a whole, one that shows the absolute and relative number of constituents in a network, and one that shows how many constituents there are in total in a network. Researchers look into what these factors mean for experiments with small groups.

Published: January 2025

The present study aimed to examine the influence of parenting styles and peer pressure on academic performance among university students. A random sample of 258 students aged 18–26 years was collected from various universities. Participants completed a self-developed demographic sheet, the Perceived Parenting Style Scale (Divya & Manikandan, 2013), and the Peer Pressure Scale Questionnaire Revised (Saini & Singh, 2016). Descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, and regression analyses were conducted. The findings indicated a significant weak negative correlation between academic performance (measured by CGPA) and peer pressure (r = -.14, p < .05), while an insignificant negative correlation was observed between academic performance and parenting styles (r = -.016, p > .05). A significant strong positive correlation was found between peer pressure and parenting styles (r = .32, p < .01). Regression analysis revealed that peer pressure significantly predicted academic performance (ß = -.152, p < .05), whereas parenting styles did not significantly predict academic performance (ß = .032, p > .05). The model explained only 2.1% of the variance in academic performance (R² = .021, F(2, 255) = 2.754, p > .01). These findings suggest that peer pressure negatively affects academic performance, albeit weakly, while parenting styles exhibit no substantial relationship with academic performance in this sample. However, peer pressure and parenting styles are significantly correlated, indicating a potential interaction worth exploring in future research. This study highlights the need for further investigation into the complex dynamics between external influences and academic outcomes among university students.

Published: January 2025

Background: Defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, preterm birth (PB) still presents a serious worldwide health issue that greatly increases newborn morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To look at how preterm birth risks and fetal development might be affected by mother food choices, coffee intake and systematic impediments. Methods: Involving 400 women, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the Malakand area between March and July 2020. Data were gathered by means of standardized questionnaires sent to individuals and healthcare professionals. Important factors examined were mother caffeine intake, knowledge of dietary guidelines and socioeconomic constraints. Results: Of the participants, 33% suffered with PB; 75% of these women drank more than five cups of coffee daily, compared to 10.1% in full-term cases (p = 0.001). Of PB patients, 76.8% cut caffeine intake post-delivery; in contrast, 100% of high-caffeine consumers in full-term cases cut intake during pregnancy. Lack of awareness about nutrition (68%, p = 0.001). Conclusion: Preterm birth risks are greatly influenced by excessive caffeine use as well as by systematic obstacles including financial restrictions and lack of dietary support. Improving pregnancy results depends mostly on proactive dietary interventions, nutritional education and culturally responsive support networks.
Legal Transformation in Limiting Human Rights in the Dilemma of Preventing Nepotism and Corruption
Authors: Puja Laksana Andik , Santiago Faisal
Published: January 2025

Legal transformation in restricting human rights (HR) has become a crucial issue in efforts to prevent nepotism and corruption. This phenomenon creates a dilemma between maintaining government integrity and protecting human resources, such as the right to freedom of politics, expression, and work. This study aims to explore how the law in Indonesia has changed in restricting human resources to prevent nepotism and corrupt practices and analyze whether these restrictions are in line with the principles of justice and proportionality. The research method used is normative law, with a legislative approach and case studies. Secondary data were collected through analysis of laws, regulations, and court documents related to corruption and nepotism. The research findings show that legal transformation in Indonesia has resulted in stricter regulations on conflicts of interest; however, in some cases, restrictions on HR are considered excessive, leading to potential violations of individual rights. In conclusion, although there is a need to control nepotism and corruption, it is important for the government to ensure that HR restrictions remain proportional and in line with international standards. The implication of this study is the need for more comprehensive, transparent, and accountable legal reform. The government needs to ensure that any anti-corruption regulations that restrict human rights are based on clear needs and are closely monitored to prevent abuse of power. Public involvement in oversight should also be increased to strengthen legal legitimacy and public trust.

Seizures are often carried out without regard for fundamental individual rights, resulting in the potential for human rights violations, particularly concerning property rights and justice. This study aims to examine how human rights protections are implemented in the seizure procedures undertaken by law enforcement officials. The research method employed is normative juridical, utilizing an approach based on statutory regulations, case studies, and legal doctrine analysis. Data collected are qualitatively analyzed through literature reviews and eval_uations of relevant cases. The findings indicate that while there are regulations governing seizure procedures, their implementation often does not align with human rights principles. There is an urgent need for improvements in oversight mechanisms and accountability in the seizure process to prevent abuse of power. This research recommends reinforcing standard operating procedures that adhere to respect for human rights and stringent oversight in every seizure action.

Kinerja personil merupakan elemen krusial dalam keberhasilan organisasi, terutama dalam konteks pelayanan publik seperti Ditlantas Polda Kalimantan Timur. Namun, evaluasi kinerja menunjukkan fluktuasi yang memerlukan perhatian terhadap peran job description dan job specification dalam meningkatkan kinerja melalui kepuasan kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh job description dan job specification terhadap kinerja personil Ditlantas Polda Kaltim, dengan kepuasan kerja sebagai variabel intervening. Pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan metode survei yang melibatkan 134 personil sebagai sampel, dipilih menggunakan rumus Slovin. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner berbasis skala Likert dan dianalisis menggunakan model Partial Least Square (PLS).
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa job description dan job specification memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja dan kepuasan kerja personil. Selain itu, kepuasan kerja terbukti memediasi pengaruh kedua variabel tersebut terhadap kinerja. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya penyusunan deskripsi pekerjaan yang jelas dan spesifikasi jabatan yang sesuai untuk meningkatkan kinerja organisasi. Rekomendasi meliputi optimalisasi pelatihan dan pengembangan kompetensi personil untuk mendukung peningkatan produktivitas dan efektivitas kerja.

Homoseksual adalah salah satu isu kontemporer yang kontroversial dan berbenturan dengan nilai-nilai dan norma sosial di masyarakat. Dalam Islam Homoseksual sendiri dipandang sebagai sebuah deviasi dari fitrah manusia dan merupakan sebuah tindakan keji. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa Homoseksual dalam perspektif Islam berdasarkan penafsiran dari Q.s Al-A’raf ayat 80-84 dengan menggunakan metode penafsiran Double Movement yang berusaha menelusuri konteks sosio-historis kisah Nabi Luth dan kaumnya, dan mengkontekstualisasikannya dengan fenomena LGBT dalam masyarakat modern. Pengaplikasian metode Double Movement dalam memahami Q.S Al-A’raf 80-84 yaitu, pada gerakan pertama dalam metode ini adalah menulusuri sosio-historis kisah kaum Nabi Luth untuk mengungkap ideal moral yang terkandung dalam ayat tersebut. Ideal moral yang didapat dari ayat ini berupa larangan tegas terhadap Homoseksual karena dikategorikan sebagai perbuatan keji dan mendatangkan banyak mudharat. Gerakan kedua dalam metode ini adalah  mengkontekstualisasikan ideal moral tersebut dengan fenomena yang terjadi dalam kehidupan modern. Dalam konteks modern, penyimpangan seksual yang terjadi dikenal dengan istilah LGBT yang digolongkan juga sebagai perbuatan keji, melampaui batas, dan perbuatan yang sangat buruk. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa larangan Homoseksual yang tertuang dalam Q.S Al-A’raf ayat 80-84 ini bersifat universal, artinya tidak terbatas pada situasi, kondisi, ataupun komunitas tertentu, sehingga larangan ini berlaku pada masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa yang akan datang.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi Kebijakan Sistem Informasi Kearsipan Dinamis Terintegrasi (SRIKANDI) di Pemerintah Kabupaten Madiun serta mengevaluasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilannya. SRIKANDI dirancang untuk mendukung e-government dengan efisiensi anggaran administrasi pemerintahan melalui pengelolaan kearsipan berbasis teknologi informasi, diatur dalam Peraturan Presiden Nomor 95 Tahun 2018 tentang Sistem Pemerintahan Berbasis Elektronik dan diperkuat oleh Keputusan Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi Nomor 679 Tahun 2020. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan mengadopsi Teori Kebijakan Publik Edward III, yang menyoroti empat dimensi: komunikasi, sumber daya, disposisi, dan struktur birokrasi, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa disposisi merupakan faktor paling dominan dalam keberhasilan implementasi SRIKANDI, di mana sikap apatis, keraguan, dan kurangnya kepercayaan pelaksana kebijakan terhadap SRIKANDI menjadi hambatan signifikan, dengan penyebab utama meliputi kurangnya kompetensi IT pengguna, persepsi bahwa aplikasi sulit dioperasikan, serta transisi dari paradigma kerja manual ke digital yang belum matang. Selain itu, gangguan operasional, seperti ketidakandalan server, semakin memperburuk tingkat kepercayaan terhadap kebijakan ini. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan implementasi SRIKANDI, perlu dilakukan penguatan kompetensi IT bagi pelaksana kebijakan dan peningkatan keandalan infrastruktur, dengan implikasi pentingnya investasi dalam pelatihan dan infrastruktur untuk mendukung transisi menuju sistem kearsipan yang lebih efisien dan efektif.
