Exploring Student Dropout Prediction: Factors, Current Methods, Limitations, and Future Directions
Authors: ALBUGAMI Shahad , ALMAGRABI Hana , WALI Arwa
Published: January 2025

Student dropout is a critical issue with various consequences for student success, universities, and society at large. Understanding the factors that contribute to student dropout and identifying possible prediction techniques can help universities and policymakers to develop effective interventions based on scientific findings in order to reduce dropout rates. Despite efforts to address this challenge, there is a lack of research that discusses the various dropout factors and advanced prediction models in the field. Therefore, this paper thoroughly explores the factors influencing student dropout, provides a comparative analysis of the application of machine learning and deep learning in predicting dropout, and examines the emerging field of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in the context of student dropout prediction. The study concludes by suggesting additional dropout factors to consider and highlighting limitations in current research, including limited scope, focus on traditional academic factors, outdated datasets, and a lack of utilization of XAI. In addition, the study provides suggestions for future research directions, such as incorporating advanced technologies, expanding the scope of the sample population to a national level, including the perspectives of dropout students, and translating research findings into actionable solutions.

Published: January 2025

This study analyzes Pakistan’s energy system, distinguishing between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. We examine energy production decisions as Pakistan’s energy sector faces significant challenges including environmental concerns due to carbon emissions related to nonrenewable energy generation methods using historical data and analytical tools. In essence, we evaluate the relationship between renewable and nonrenewable supplies alongside with GDP, trade, and population quantifies changes in land use and counts related carbon emissions. This analysis will provide valuable insights into the environmental consequences of different energy production methods in Pakistan. Regression analysis will be used in the study to demonstrate how the above-mentioned variables affect CO2 emissions using data from 1990 to 2020. Additionally, methods including ADF-test and ARDL test would be used for accurate results and cater for unit roots and lag variables. According to previous research, non-renewable energy sources directly correlate with CO2 emissions, but renewable energy sources have a negative effect on CO2 emissions. While we can’t be certain of the details until we’ve crunched the figures, we want to contribute to Pakistan’s adoption of wiser energy policies. Consider ways to increase the use of renewable energy, better plan the use of land for sustainable energy projects and reduce carbon emissions in keeping with regional and global environmental objectives. Finding the right course of action for a cleaner, greener energy future is what we’re all about in the end. Essentially, climate change, being a global threat, is becoming a serious threat, so to accommodate this concern, a sustainable approach needs to be studied and applied accordingly.

Published: January 2025

Straipsnio tikslas yra pristatyti Vilniaus mokslo bičiulių draugijos Meno istorijos sekcijos indėlį į Vilniaus meno istorijos pažinimą ir sklaidą jos gyvavimo laikotarpiu – 1931–1939 metais. Sekcija iki šiol nesulaukė didesnio tyrinėtojų dėmesio, minėta tik Vilniaus mokslo bičiulių draugijos bendros veiklos kontekste. Tyrimas atskleidė, jog Sekcijos „tėvai kūrėjai“ ir pirmieji nariai buvo Vilniaus Stepono Batoro universiteto Humanitarinio ir Dailės fakultetų profesoriai, tiriantys ir propaguojantys Lenkijos ir buvusios Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės (LDK), ypač Vilniaus, meno istoriją. Per Sekcijos veiklos laikotarpį jai priklausė 26 nariai; jais tapdavo ne tik meno istorikai, bet ir archyvarai, archeologai, architektai, etnografai, dailininkai, dvasininkai. Sekcijos posėdžiuose skaitytų pranešimų ir diskusijų ateidavo pasiklausyti ne tik jos, bet ir kiti Vilniaus mokslo bičiulių draugijos nariai, studentai, mokytojai ir visi vilniečiai, besidomintys meno istorija. Kita labai svarbi Meno istorijos sekcijos veiklos sritis buvo leidyba – leistas serijinis leidinys „Prace i materiały sprawozdawcze Sekcji Historji Sztuki“ (Meno istorijos sekcijos darbai ir ataskaitos), 1935–1939 m. išleisti trys jo tomai. Šie leidiniai (išsiuntinėti Vilniaus ir kitų miestų bibliotekoms, su Vilniaus mokslo bičiulių draugija bendradarbiaujančioms mokslo ir kultūros įstaigoms, draugijoms ir kitoms visuomeninėms organizacijoms) buvo itin svarbūs skleidžiant žinias apie LDK, ypač Vilniaus, meno paminklus ir jų kūrėjus.
Histoire des satellites météorologiques
Authors: LE MOAL Sylvain
Published: January 2025

Peu de temps après la conquête de l’espace, grâce à des moyens de télédétection innovants, l’Histoire des satellites météorologiques débute en 1960 avec le lancement de Tiros-1. Les satellites sont en orbite basse et produisent des images de la Terre. Au fil des décennies suivantes, les États-Unis, la Russie, puis l’Europe, ainsi que d'autres nations, déploient leurs propres constellations de satellites météorologiques, géostationnaires ou défilants.

Published: January 2025

Les polysiloxanes se présentent sous différentes formes (huiles, gommes et résines), au travers de multiples applications. Ils sont appréciés pour leur flexibilité, leur tenue thermique et leur stabilité chimique. La dégradation thermique des huiles entraîne une dépolymérisation. La dégradation photochimique des huiles est plutôt associée à une réticulation. Les résines réticulées présentent une post-réticulation aussi bien en vieillissement thermique que photochimique.
Long-term changes in the thermodynamic structure of the lowermost stratosphere inferred from reanalysis data

Published: January 2025

Abstract. The lowermost stratosphere (LMS) plays an important role in stratosphere–troposphere coupling and the Earth's radiation balance. This study investigates the effects of long-term changes in the tropopause and the lower-stratospheric isentropic structure on the mass of the LMS. We compare five modern reanalyses: ERA5, ERA-Interim, MERRA-2, JRA-55 and JRA-3Q. The focus is on changes after 1998, which marks the anticipated beginning of stratospheric ozone recovery. The trend analysis is performed with a dynamic linear regression model (DLM), capable of modeling non-linear trends. According to our study, isentropic pressure in the lower stratosphere (here 380–430 K) shows negative trends in the tropics and positive trends in the extratropics. In the Northern Hemisphere (NH), we find that the extratropical tropopause is rising, accompanied by decreasing pressure at an average rate of −1 hPa per decade. Additionally, our results indicate that the tropical tropopause in the NH has expanded poleward by 0.5° latitude between 1998–2019. In the Southern Hemisphere (SH) extratropics, the lapse rate tropopause shows a downward tendency of up to +2 hPa per decade after 1998, consistent across all reanalyses except JRA-3Q. The tropical tropopause and the cold point is rising, accompanied by decreasing pressure at a rate of ca. −0.5 hPa per decade in all reanalyses. The sign of the tropical tropopause potential temperature trends, however, differs across the reanalyses. This can be attributed to contrasting (absolute) temperature trends in the tropical tropopause region, such as at the 100 hPa pressure level. Consistent with the upward and poleward trend of the NH tropopause, the mass of the LMS decreases by 2 %–3 % for 1998–2019 if a fixed isentrope (380 K) is chosen as the upper LMS boundary. In ERA5, as well as MERRA-2 and ERA-Interim, this mass decline disappears if dynamical upper LMS boundaries are used that take the upward trends of the tropical tropopause into account.
Regional modeling of surface solar radiation, aerosol, and cloud cover spatial variability and projections over northern France and Benelux

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Investigating the current and future evolution of surface solar radiation (SSR) is essential in the context of climate change and associated environmental issues. We focus on the influence of atmospheric aerosols, along with cloud cover and water vapor content, on northern France and Benelux in spring and summer. Our analysis relies on the National Centre for Meteorological Research–Limited Area Adaptation Dynamic International Development v6.4 (CNRM-ALADIN64) regional climate model at 12.5 km resolution, which includes an interactive aerosol scheme. A regional evaluation of 2010–2020 ALADIN hindcast simulations of clear-sky and all-sky SSR, clear-sky frequency, and aerosols, through comparison to coincident multi-site ground-based measurements, shows reasonable agreement. In addition, these hindcast simulations emphasize how elevated aerosol loads over Benelux and high cloud cover over southwestern England reduce the SSR. Additional ALADIN climate simulations for 2050 and 2100 under Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 1-1.9 predict a significant reduction in aerosol loads compared to 2005–2014, especially over Benelux, associated with future increases in clear-sky SSR but geographically limited all-sky SSR evolution. In contrast, under SSP3-7.0, clear-sky and all-sky SSR is projected to decline significantly over the domain. This decline is greatest in spring over Benelux due to combined increases in cloud cover and nitrate aerosols projected from 2050 onwards. In summer, projected decreases in cloud cover largely attenuate the reduction in SSR due to aerosols in 2050, while by 2100 rising water vapor contents counteract this attenuation. Thus, our results highlight seasonally and spatially variable impacts of future anthropogenic aerosol emissions on SSR evolution due to cloud cover and water vapor modifications that will likely largely contribute to the modulation of forthcoming aerosol influences.
Optimal selection of satellite XCO2 images for urban CO2 emission monitoring
Authors: Danjou Alexandre , Broquet Grégoire , Schuh Andrew , Bréon François-Marie , Lauvaux Thomas
Published: January 2025

Abstract. There is a growing interest in estimating urban CO2 emission from spaceborne imagery of the CO2 column-average dry-air mole fraction (XCO2). Emission estimation methods have been widely tested and applied to actual or synthetic images. However, there is still a lack of objective criteria for selecting images that are worth processing. This study analyzes the performances of an automated method for estimating urban emissions as a function of the targeted cities and of the atmospheric conditions. It uses synthetic data experiments with synthetic truth and 9920 synthetic satellite images of XCO2 over 31 of the largest cities across the world generated with a global adaptive-mesh model, the Ocean–Land–Atmosphere Model (OLAM), zoomed in at high resolution over these cities. We use a decision tree learning method applied to this ensemble of synthetic images to define criteria based on these emission and atmospheric conditions for the selection of suitable satellite images. We show that our automated method for the emission estimation, based on a Gaussian plume model, manages to produce estimates for 92 % of the synthetic images. Our learning method identifies two criteria, the wind direction's spatial variability and the targeted city's emission budget, that discriminate images whose processing yields reasonable emission estimates from those whose processing yields large errors. Images corresponding to low spatial variability in wind direction (less than 12°) and to high urban emissions (greater than 2.1 kt CO2 h−1) account for 47 % of the images, and their processing yields relative errors in the emission estimates with a median value of −7 % and an interquartile range (IQR) of 56 %. Images corresponding to a high spatial variability in wind direction or to low urban emissions account for 53 % of our images, and their processing yield relative errors in the emission estimates with a median value of −31 % and an IQR of 99 %. Despite such efficient filtering, the accuracy of the estimates corresponding to the former group of images varies widely from city to city.

Abstract. Reconstructing the spatio-temporal dynamics of glaciations and permafrost largely relies on surface deposits and is therefore a challenge for every glacial period older than the last due to erosion. Consequently, glaciations and permafrost remain poorly constrained worldwide before ca. 30 ka. Since speleothems (carbonate cave deposits) form from drip water and generally indicate the absence of an ice sheet and permafrost, we evaluate how speleothem growth phases defined by U series dates align with past glacial–interglacial cycles. Further, we make the first systematic comparison of the spatial distribution of speleothem dates with independent reconstructions of the history of the British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) to test how well geomorphologic ice reconstructions are replicated in the cave record. The frequency distribution of 1020 U series dates based on three different dating methods between 300 and 5 ka shows statistically significant periods of speleothem growth during the last interglacial and several interstadials during the last glacial. A pronounced decline in speleothem growth coincides with the Last Glacial Maximum before broad reactivation during deglaciation and into the Holocene. Spatio-temporal patterns in speleothem growth between 31 and 15 ka agree well with the surface-deposit-based reconstruction of the last BIIS. In data-rich regions, such as northern England, ice dynamics are well replicated in the cave record, which provide additional evidence about the spatio-temporal distribution of permafrost dynamics. Beyond the Last Glacial Maximum, the distribution of speleothem dates across the British Isles offers the opportunity to improve chronological constraints on past ice sheet variability, with evidence for a highly dynamic Scottish ice sheet during the last glacial. The results provide independent evidence of ice distribution complementary to studies of surface geomorphology and geology, and the potential to extend reconstructions into permafrost and earlier glacial cycles. Whilst undersampling is currently the main limitation for speleothem-based ice and permafrost reconstruction even in relatively well-sampled parts of the British Isles, we show that speleothem dates obtained using modern mass spectrometry techniques reveal a higher spatio-temporal resolution of glacial–interglacial cycles and glacial extent than previously possible. Further study of leads and lags in speleothem growth compared to surface deposition may provide new insights into landscape-scale dynamics during ice sheet growth and retreat.

Este estudo busca investigar o emprego do gênero neutro no português (marca -e e pronomes neutros) sob a ótica teórica-metodológica da Teoria da Variação (LABOV, 2008 [1972]; WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 2006 [1968]), com foco nas Comunidades de prática (ECKERT; MCCONNELL-GINET, 1992a, 1992b). Para a observação dessa variante, foi realizada a coleta de 3.446 ocorrências de pronomes, adjetivos e substantivos presentes em tuítes de três sujeitos, usuários da rede social Twitter, durante o segundo semestre de 2020. Como critério de seleção, consideraram-se tuítes que continham pronomes, adjetivos e substantivos cujo referente era humano (traço [+sexuado]), nos quais a distinção de gênero ocorria por flexão. Foram contempladas as variáveis previsoras Participante, Classe Morfossintática, Item Lexical, Tópico do tuíte e a referência desempenhada pela marcação de gênero (genérica ou específica). Adicionalmente, buscou-se controlar a existência ou não de reflexão metalinguística nos tuítes constitutivos da amostra. O tratamento estatístico foi conduzido por meio do software R, através da interface RStudio. Como resultados, constatou-se que nenhum item lexical favorece o emprego da variante neutra, mas a classe morfossintática de Adjetivo, os tópicos de Identidade e Relacionamento afetivo, bem como a referência genérica performada pela marcação de gênero atuam como condicionadores do emprego do gênero neutro.
Os significados sociais da variação seu/teu
Authors: Oliveira Thiago Laurentino de , Tosi Brenda Gonçalves
Published: January 2025

Neste artigo, pretende-se analisar os significados sociais potencialmente vinculados ao uso variável dos pronomes possessivos com referência à segunda pessoa do singular (2SG), com especial atenção para a variante ‘teu’ (e flexões). O ponto de partida de nossa discussão é o estudo monográfico de Tosi (2021), que investigou esse fenômeno adotando uma visão macrossociológica. Agora, intencionamos explorar uma nova perspectiva para o fenômeno em questão, avançando para um entendimento mais estilístico de tratamento da variação, nos termos do que Eckert (2012) denomina como estudos sociolinguísticos de terceira onda. Assim, almejamos analisar a questão dos significados sociais das variantes retomando uma questão antiga da área (LABOV, 1963). Nesta análise, serão investigadas as seguintes questões: (i) quais significados sociais o uso da variante ‘teu’ indicia na fala do artista analisado? e (ii) há uma relação entre o uso expressivo dessa variante e o tipo de personagem interpretado? Como hipótese, assumimos que a variante ‘teu’ indicia valores relacionados à informalidade, agressividade e masculinidade na variedade carioca. Os resultados preliminares fornecem evidências favoráveis às hipóteses em investigação: os índices de ‘teu’ são mais elevados nas cenas que trazem personagens mais representativos do padrão de masculinidade e a variante ‘teu’ é mais produtiva nas cenas informais.

Translational queer fandom under “han-xu” politics in China: A case study of the Wanwan subtitling group
Authors: Song Qijun
Published: January 2025

Building on previous studies about “non-confrontational” activism among Chinese queer translation groups, this article explores the subtitling and social media practices of Wanwan, a Chinese lesbian-oriented fansubbing group, from a cultural–ideological perspective. It argues that Wanwan’s practices can be better understood in the context of han-xu (??, reticent) politics, shaping a non-confrontational activist approach to fansubbing. This approach is manifested through diversified content that involves both queer and non-queer media resources, recontextualised translated subtitles, the creation of spaces for interactions, and the production of reflexive paratexts that refrain from overt criticism of cis-heteronormativity. The article contributes to an understanding of translational queer fandom in China by arguing that groups such as Wanwan not only foster a dedicated fan community and a “by queers for queers” world, but also bridge the communication gap between queer communities and cis-heteronormative groups without exacerbating the cultural and ideological tensions that might otherwise set them apart.
Translating disability towards social justice: Turning representations of persons with disabilities upside DOWN
Authors: Taviano Stefania
Published: January 2025

Disability activism, together with social, gender, and racial justice struggles, has gained increased visibility in both civil society and academia. As a translation scholar and as the mother of an 11-year-old boy with Down syndrome engaged in promoting social justice, I strive to challenge the predominant representations of persons with disabilities that prevent them from exercising their human rights. This article proposes to build on the interdisciplinary intersections between feminist disability studies and critical translation studies, including audiovisual translation and media accessibility. It does so with a view to accounting for and contributing to inclusive practices in the translation of disability; it does so also to challenge ableist re-translation in a world where much remains to be done to protect the human rights of people with disabilities. The article analyses the political translation of disability in a video campaign carried out by the National Coordination of Associations of Persons with Down Syndrome (CoorDown). Released on the 2021 World Down Syndrome Day, the video titled Dear Future Mom is a collective response to an expectant mother of a child with Down syndrome who wrote to Coordown to share her uncertainties and fears following the diagnosis of Down syndrome. Including multiple languages and featuring children with Down syndrome as the main protagonists, Dear Future Mom creates a translational political space where the binary oppositions between non-disabled and disabled people are subverted. The video performs a political translation of the “original” textual body of children and young adults with disabilities that frames disability as compatible with a fulfilled life. The social model of disability that informs this political translation is challenged by the social and legal controversies surrounding the reception of the video. In criticizing the medical model of disability and its conflation of “defective bodies” with defective lives, this article alerts readers to the human rights consequences of this model for persons with disabilities and calls for alternative political translations that align themselves with disability activism and social justice struggles.
Poetry for socio-political justice in Palestine: Mahmoud Darwish’s translation and re-narration of Palestinian–Israeli encounters
Authors: Alhirthani Mahmoud
Published: January 2025

While Mahmoud Darwish’s work has been studied largely from a literary perspective, not much attention has been given to its translational dimensions. This article examines two of Darwish’s poems, “Identity Card” (1964) and “A Soldier Dreams of White Tulips” (1967), as two complementary endeavours aimed at achieving justice for the Palestinian people. It focuses on the socio-political contexts of their production, circulation, and reception to demonstrate the pivotal role translation as (re-)narration can play in the pursuit of justice and in challenging hegemonic narratives. Both poems became sites of political controversy due to the ways in which they were produced, translated, and re-narrated across languages and modalities. Whereas “Identity Card" offers a personal and public narrative of Palestinians’ confrontation with Israelis, “A Soldier Dreams of White Tulips” opens up a space in which to hear the remorse of an Israeli soldier at the acts of killing he committed against the poet’s own people. Unsurprisingly, the two poems were received very differently: “Identity Card” became a national poem in Palestine whereas “A Soldier Dreams of White Tulips” received little acclaim in the Arab world, being criticized because it stood against the pervasive public narratives of the 1960s according to which the humanized soldier portrayed by Darwish does not exist in the enemy’s camp. However, decades later, the poem has been proven right, as the soldier is revealed to be Shlomo Sand, the Israeli writer and activist, known for taking resolute steps towards justice and against Israeli mainstream narratives – to the extent that his work is translated into Arabic by Palestinian translators at the request of Darwish himself. It is in this new context that “A Soldier Dreams of White Tulips” is rediscovered decades after it appeared for the first time and becomes the object of temporal and spatial framing across contexts and modalities, including translations, recitations, and documentaries. At a time of despair arising from entrenched injustices and crimes against humanity perpetrated by Israel settler colonialism, the dynamics of the poem’s emergence and later revival may well inspire alternatives to existing hegemonic narratives of selves and others that continue to stand in the way of justice for the Palestinian people.
Activist translation of queer graphic novels: The case of Heartstopper in Turkey
Authors: Alan Cihan
Published: January 2025

In the context of a significant deterioration of LGBTQI+ rights in Turkey, the translation of the queer graphic novel, Heartstopper, into Turkish (as Kalp Çarp?nt?s?) was labelled “harmful for children” by the Board of Protecting Minors from Obscene Publication, a state mechanism that controls publications for children. The precarity of queer translation in the Turkish publishing industry raises the question of the potential for activist translation to disrupt anti-LGBTQI+ hegemonic discourses and their silencing of LGBTQI+ youth sexuality and identity in repressive contexts. The study on which this article is based investigated the performativity of Kalp Çarp?nt?s? as a translation and focused on the practices of translation agents who were involved in the translation, publication, and reception of Heartstopper in Turkey. It provides a qualitative analysis of Ömer Anlatan’s engagement with the graphic novel and its portrayal of LGBTQI+ youth, a semi-structured interview with the translator and an account of the reviews of the book. The study reveals the translator’s multimodal interventions in the text, driven by his professional background as a counsellor and his knowledge of the language used by the LGBTQI+ community in Turkey. It accounts for the unwavering support of the publisher despite public controversies and also for the timely sociopolitical impact of the translation in and beyond LGBTQI+ circles in Turkey. The compelling case of the Turkish translation of Heartstopper as a queer graphic novel reminds us that the solidarity of multiple agents is crucial in paving the way towards social and queer justice for children and youths generally in contexts of repression.

El artículo compara los sistemas de inspección educativa en Turquía y España, utilizando el Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ) para evaluar la or-ganización y desempeño de los inspectores. Se señala que la inspección es esencial para asegurar la calidad educativa, aunque su implementación difiere entre ambos países. En Turquía, se enfrentan a problemas como la falta de estandarización y formación, y se sugiere un modelo de supervi-sión sostenible. En contraste, España tiene un sistema más descentralizado que promueve la autonomía de los centros y se enfoca en la evaluación formativa. Ambos países comparten la responsabilidad de supervisar el desempeño educativo, pero difieren en su estructura y procesos. El artículo concluye que el cuestionario puede ser útil en otros contextos educativos y resalta la importancia de la colaboración entre inspectores y la comunidad educativa para mejorar los resultados.

The aim of the research is to examine the relationship between earnings management (EM) and internal control system (ICS) in state-owned companies in the Republic of Serbia. On a sample of 64 state-owned companies founded by local self-government (11.92% of the total population in the Republic of Serbia), for the period 2018-2021, we examined the achieved level of implementation of EM practices in those entities, the relationship between EM and ICS, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of ICS in deterring management from manipulations through earnings management. The basis for our analysis is the financial reports audited by the State Audit Institution (SAI), which means that 256 observations were made for the analyzed four-year period. Using the Chi-square tests of independence, we found that there is no positive correlation between earnings management on the one hand and financial management and control, as well as internal audit on the other hand, in state-owned companies in Serbia. Nevertheless, we point out the necessity of improving these two elements of the comprehensive ICS at the level of state-owned companies, in order to reduce the risk of manipulative financial reporting.

Desa Sungai Raja Village, Jelai District, Sukamara Regency, Central Kalimantan, has natural and cultural potential that has the opportunity to be developed into a leading tourist destination. This research aims to formulate a model for developing tourism objects based on sustainable local potential using a quantitative approach through surveys, field observations and structured interviews. The research results show the potential for ecotourism in rivers, mangrove forests and local cultural diversity. However, obstacles such as limited infrastructure, lack of promotion and community participation are the main challenges. The proposed model emphasizes synergy between government, society, and the private sector through increasing human resource capacity, improving infrastructure, and effective promotional strategies. Apart from that, the integration of digital technology for tourism promotion and destination management is also proposed as an innovative step. Training and community empowerment programs in the tourism sector are also part of this model to create professional destination management. It is hoped that this model can increase tourist visits, strengthen the local economy, and preserve the local environment and culture, making Sungai Raja Village a leading destination in Central Kalimantan that contributes to the development of sustainable tourism.

The Influence of Illegal Second-hand Clothing Imports and the Impact on Local Industries: Indonesian Legal Studies
Authors: Syahyu Yulianto
Published: January 2025

Along with the development of the current era of public interest, especially in the fashion industry is becoming increasingly diverse, one of which is the interest in second-hand clothing from imports. The influence of these illegally imported second-hand clothes is a profound problem that involves various legal and economic aspects. The research method used in this study is juridical normative by analysing social facts using the theory and applicable of Indonesian legal studies. Despite being regulated and legally prohibited, the used clothing trade is still popular in society. Due to the high demand of people for quality clothes at affordable prices, they ignore the rules. This suggests that the rules are not in line with the state of the market. The trade law aspect of second-hand clothing imports in Indonesia presents a significant law enforcement challenge. Despite strict regulations, illegal practices still exist. Governments should be more careful to strike a balance between legal protection and people's economic needs. To protect the local industry from the negative effects of the second-hand clothing trade, stronger law enforcement is needed to ensure compliance with the law.

Keywords: Illegal Import, Second-Hand Clothing, Law Enforcement, Local Industry..
