Published: October 2023

The development of the times facilitates the dissemination of information and culture to various parts of the world. The law is one of the things that also developed. The law cannot be separated from the regulation regarding intellectual property rights that participate in developing as technology and globalization develop. As regulations in Indonesia, one type of intellectual property rights is copyright. In digital development, technology is also developed, one of which is artificial intelligence. In its development Artificial Intelligence is developing very rapidly even today Artificial Intelligence can make artwork in the form of digital photos that can be protected by copyright. This study was compiled through a conceptual approach and using normative legal research methods, doctrinal, and comparative studies, as well as using quality analysis techniques. This study argues that Indonesia has not accommodated the arrangement of artificial intelligence results so that the arrangement is needed so as to create a law that is able to follow the flow of times and create protection against artificial intelligence creations.
Abstrak
Perkembangan zaman mempermudah penyebaran informasi mupun budaya ke berbagai penjuru dunia. Hukum menjadi salah satu hal yang ikut berkembang pula. Hukum tidak mungkin terlepas dari pengaturan mengenai Hak Kekayaan Intelektual yang ikuts mengalami perkembangan seiring berkembang teknologi dan globalisasi. Sebagaimana pengaturan di Indonesia, salah satu jenis Hak Kekayaan Intelektual adalah Hak Cipta. Dalam perkembangan digital, berkembang pula teknologi salah satunya Artificial Intellengence. Dalam perkembangannya Artificial Intellegence berkembang sangat pesat bahkan dewasa ini Artificial Intellegence dapat membuat karya seni berupa foto digital yang bisa dilindungi Hak Cipta. Penelitian ini dibuat melalui pendekatan konseptual dan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif, doktrinal, dan studi perbandingan, serta menggunakan teknik analisis kualitas. Penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa Indonesia belum mengakomodir pengaturan mengenai karya seni hasil Artificial Intelligence sehingga dibutuhkan pengaturan tersebut sehingga tercipta hukum yang mampu mengikuti arus zaman dan tercipta perlindungan terhadap karya kreasi Artificial Intelligence.
Crimes of Medical Workers as a Socio-legal Problem of Russian Society
Authors: Kesian Gaiane N.
Published: October 2023

The main legal act regulating the rights of citizens to health protection is Article 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which states that every citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to free medical care for various health disorders and disability. At the same time, free medical care aimed at preserving the life and health of citizens is provided by medical workers working in municipal, private and other medical institutions. Medical workers have the status of civil servants in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on state civil service. A civil servant is liable under federal law for actions or omissions leading to violation of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens. In this study we consider cases when medical workers who are civil servants commit crimes against the life and health of a citizen in the performance of their duties. We note that despite the large number of offenses committed by medical personnel, there are still no official statistics on these offenses, and therefore it is very difficult to determine the total number of offenses committed by medical personnel. In this study, we conclude that the offenses committed by medical staff are crimes of public danger and medical workers violate their professional obligations in the performance of their professional duties.

Published: October 2023

Each country has a different administrative tradition, such as those found in China and Indonesia. The two countries are close to each other and have good relations to date. Chinese Confucian teachings that are still preserved today have brought this country to change. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method using a document or literature analysis approach. The use of this method aims to obtain material and empirical data obtained through journals and scientific papers, reports, books, and other documents related to the research being conducted. The results of the study explain that the evolution of administration in China occurred from generation to generation, giving the characteristics of each dynasty. Similar to China, in Indonesia, the people also adhere to Pancasila values and include these values in the administration of government in Indonesia. The Indonesian nation upholds ethnic differences and tolerance of religious differences. However, national values still refer to Pancasila ideology and do not use Confucian teachings in administering government in Indonesia.
Godfatherism and Its Effects on Nigeria’s Democracy
Authors: Oghuvbu Ejiroghene Augustine
Published: October 2023

Godfatherism has been the focal point of political gangalism in Africa and other developing countries around the globe. Godfatherism has been a hallmark of Nigeria’s democracy today. With the restoration of democratic rule in 1999, the nation has seen an increase in the politics of godfatherism, which has slowed the consolidation of democracy while also undermining efficient state governance and restricting rather than broadening democratic representation. Godfatherism has taken its toll in the country’s politics, causing disharmony, disunity, conflict, and disaffection among various political and interest groups in the country. Its lethargy has exacerbated electoral passivism and aparthism, slowing Nigeria’s democratic transition. This study therefore, investigates the causes, nature and effects of godfatherism on Nigeria’s nascent democracy. The paper based its investigation on the elite theory and the study reveals that political godfatherism is responsible for weak institutions in the country. The study therefore, concludes that political godfathers and godsons have denied the people the rights to vote for their preferred candidate as their leaders. The study however, recommends that voting should be reformed to make it more difficult for individuals and institutions to finance political parties and politicians, this will go a long way towards eradicating godfatherism in Nigeria, and give room for democracy to flourish.

Published: October 2023

Artikel ini membahas tentan persepsi istri narapidana terhadap pemenuhan nafkah serta tinjauan hukum Islam terhadap pemenuhan nafkah istri oleh suami sebagai narapidana. Kewajiban suami terhadap keluarga dalam bentuk materi atau nafkah lahir berupa pakaian, makanan, tempat tinggal, obat-obatan serta keuangan yang cukup harus dipenuhi oleh seorang suami. Nafkah merupakan sejumlah barang atau uang yang diberikan oleh seseorang untuk keperluan hidup orang yang di bawah tanggung jawab seperti istri, orang tua, anak dan keluarga. Dalam beberapa keadaan tidak semua orang yang telah menikah dapat memenuhi hak dan kewajibannya masing-masing, baik sebagai istri maupun sebagai suami. Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah penelitian lapangan (field research) untuk bahan bersifat primer dan kajian pustaka (library research) untuk bahan bersifat sekunder. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif, bertujuan untuk memaparkan dan menganalisa permasalahan-permasalahan. Dari hasil kajian ditemukan bahwa persepsi istri narapidana terhadap pemenuhan nafkah istri dapat menerima keadaan suaminya yang sedang menjalankan masa hukuman, dalam hal pemenuhan nafkah istri tersebut yang harus bekerja sendiri dalam memenuhi nafkah untuk keluarga meskipun sedikit dan dibantu oleh saudara-saudaranya. Terkait dengan tinjauan hukum Islam terhadap pemenuhan nafkah istri oleh suami sebagai narapidana maka dalam Islam tentang hal pemenuhan nafkah suami yang berstatus sebagai narapidana tidak bertentangan/sesuai dengan hukum Islam, karena Islam memberikan solusi kemudahan bahwa nafkah sesuai dengan kemampuan suami dan seseorang tidak dibebani melainkan menurut kadar kesanggupannya.

Raj'i Talaq Law According to the Shafi'i School in Polyandry Cases (Case Study of Banda Aceh Shar'iyah Court Decision Number 383/Pdt.G/2020/MS. Bna)
Authors: Fahmi Mutiara , Iqbal Muhammad , Akbar Rizki , Nurdin Abidin
Published: October 2023

Islamic law and Indonesian legislation basically emphasize that marriage can only have one partner. In the Shafi'i school, Ash-Sharbini al-Khatib says, "A man, circumcision does not marry more than one wife without clear hajat. An-nash has pointed out that the principle of marriage is monogamy, not polygamy. The wife or a woman cannot marry more than one husband at the same time (polyandry) because of the impact caused. Polyandry is clearly forbidden as has been said by Allah Almighty. in QS. An-Nisa verse 24. In decision No. 383/Pdt.G/2020/MS. The bna polyandry is one of the reasons for divorce with the dropping of talaq one raj'i. The question in this thesis is how the right of talaq possessed by a husband how to analyze the Decision of the Judge of the Shar'iyah Court of Banda Aceh, and why the case of polyandry as a background for the breakup of marriage is broken with talaq raj'i. In this study, the author uses library research methods to analyze the judge's consideration and the Shafi'i school in terms of holding talaq rights on the grounds that they are caused by polyandry. There are several factors that make the existing legal provisions and procedures different, in the Shafi'i school in terms of privacy such as talaq is very guarded because it is considered bad if there are parties outside who know the domestic affairs, in contrast to the judge's consideration, the procedures of the Shar'iyah Court, the benefit of divorce is regulated to reduce illegal divorces that are not in accordance with the existing Shari'a. Therefore, it can be concluded that the difference that we can see between the judge's consideration and the Shafi'i school is the freedom of the husband to impose talaq anywhere and anytime, and the determination of the amount of talaq based on the husband's own intentions.

Published: October 2023

Marriage traditions are long-standing customs of the union of two individuals that have been passed down through the generations. Each region has its own characteristics and variations of this wedding custom, including the Madurese. The Madurese is an ethnic group with a substantial population in Indonesia, numbering around 7 million people. They originate from Madura Island and the neighboring islands of Gili Raja, Sapudi, Raas, and Kangean. Sumberejo Jember Village is one of the Madurese-inhabited areas. The majority of Madurese adhere to Islam. Sumberejo Village is located within the Ambulu District. Ambulu sub-district is one of the sub-districts located on the southern edge of Jember Regency, 31 kilometers away from the district capital. This study aims to investigate the phenomenon, the influence of the Madurese marriage tradition, and the Islamic legal perspective on marriage. This study employs a qualitative approach and case study research design. The findings of this investigation indicate that: (1) the Madurese wedding tradition exists in Sumberejo Jember. The Madurese wedding tradition in Sumberjo Jember has three positive effects and two negative effects. (3) According to Islam, marriage is among the greatest acts of worship.
The Alimony Obligation of a Civil Servant and Non-Civil Servant Father towards Children Post-Divorce (The Study on Aceh Syar'iyyah Court Decision Study of 2019)
Authors: Djawas Mursyid , Eriyanti Nahara , Yulia Anita , Fauzan Faisal
Published: October 2023

This research was motivated by two decisions of the Aceh Syar'iyah Court, namely decision Number 75/Pdt.G/2019/MS. Aceh in determining the child's sustenance after divorce, distinguished by the amount that must be given by civil servant and non-civil servant fathers. However, these two decisions are different from the provisions of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), in which the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) does not mention the number of child support provisions. This is the focus of this research, in which two research questions were administered to answer the research inquiries First; what is the judge's consideration in determining the obligation of a civil servant and a non-civil servant father? Second; how does the Islamic law determine the obligations of a civil servant and non-civil servant father to children after a divorce from the study of the 2019 Aceh Syar'iyah Court judge’s decision? This is a library research investigating cases on strategies used by judges in solving various cases. The study reveals that the judge’s considerations in determining the level of child maintenance rights are differed between the judge’s decision Number 75/Pdt.G/2019/MS.Aceh and decision Number 70/Pdt.G/2019/MS.Aceh. The study suggests that the judge has different ways of determining the legal decision. The civil servant fathers are entitled to comply by article 8 PP No. 10 of 1983 jo. PP No. 45 of 1990, while the non-civil fathers are referred to the recommendation of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), which is seen from the ability of the father. This is found to have been in compliance with the Islamic law. Therefore, according to the author, the difference in determining the level of income for children after divorce is relevant to Imam Syafi'i's opinion that income has a certain size. The rich father should pay two mud, middle-class fathers pay one and a half mud and the low-income fathers pay one mud.

Authors: Pepkolaj Lekë , Arnal-Palacián Mónica , Begué Nuria , Prahmana Rully Charitas Indra
Published: October 2023

Several studies have highlighted the existence of demotivated teachers in schools. There are several demotivating factors that influence the decisions and commitment that a teacher can acquire. The literature review allows us to characterize the factors that different authors identify to explain teacher demotivation. This article aims to analyze some of the factors that influence mathematics teachers' demotivation and the evaluation of the degree of demotivation in relation to work environment, teaching autonomy, extrinsic values, and students. The information was collected from a questionnaire consisting of 24 items, which was given to 121 active Albanian teachers teaching at different levels of education. These data were analyzed using a quantitative methodology. The independent variables gender, teacher's age, qualification, pupils' age, and type of school are also considered to perform a multivariate analysis. From the results obtained, we can state that the factors that generate the greatest demotivation are textbooks, political conversion and corruption, aspects related to the curriculum, and the costs they must bear. In addition, school status, curriculum changes, meritocracy, material costs, autonomy, and research significantly explain the demotivation of public sector teachers. It highlights the need to seek structured responses aimed at regulating teaching careers.

Successful Adoption of DevOps Practices in Software Development in DoD Acquisition
Programs—The CREATE Example
Authors: Kendall Richard , Hariharan Nathan , Sears David , Post Douglass
Published: October 2023

A growing number of articles describe the challenges of adopting DevOps for DoD software development. A recent paper in this journal discussed DevOps adoption challenges within the acquisition programs of the Navy. For embedded software, these challenges have been overwhelming to date. However, for standalone applications, the story is different, even though the lingering impact of DoD Instruction 5000 and other DoD cultural practices remains problematic. The HPCMP CREATE™ program, or simply CREATE in this paper, is part of the portfolio of the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP). It has successfully adapted DevOps concepts and agile software development practices to develop a family of software applications that enable system-scale virtual prototyping and testing analysis for major DoD acquisition programs. This study describes the main enabling practices that made
this possible.
A Tale of Two Organizations: A Qualitative Comparative Study of Contracting Organizations
Authors: Elkins Jennifer
Published: October 2023

The Department of Defense has long focused on reform for increased performance, decreased cost, and decreased schedule. The author investigated the differences between those within the acquisition contracting community exercising the new authorities provided in the Adaptive Acquisition Framework and those operating in a traditional acquisition environment through qualitative comparative analysis surrounding the characteristics of bureaucracy. Using the established framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior, the author evaluated interview responses to gain a deeper understanding of participants’ lived experiences, thereby discovering those attitudes, perceived behavioral controls, and social pressures most prevalent and influential in evaluating behavior for the two types of organizations. Results indicated significant differences between the two types of organizations, with a strong alignment of traditional contracting organizations with the characteristics of bureaucracy and practical implications for leaders seeking to drive innovation within their organizations.
Frustrated with Obsolescence — Try Changing Your Mental Model
Authors: Chellin Matthew , Miller Erika
Published: October 2023

This article explores mental models on obsolescence management to assist with mitigating obsolescence for Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems. A systems-thinking methodology was used to develop these mental models, which were validated through interviews with 10 participants. The participants were U.S. Army acquisition practitioners at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. This research complements the tools and training for mitigating obsolescence by deepening an organization’s understanding of the relationships among systems and the mental models that influence obsolescence management. These mental models are foundational to the interaction relationships of the system of interest (Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages, or DMSMS Management System) within the context of engineered systems. This is enabled by supporting systems such as the supply chain, configuration management, and the budget. Furthermore, this research presents a novel model of the systems within the obsolescence management system. Based on the relationships in the causal loop diagrams and application of a risk-based proactive obsolescence management mental model, one can predict a higher or lower likelihood of successfully mitigating a C5ISR system’s obsolescence.

Due to light weight, high strength to weight ratio, higher wear resistance
aluminium and its alloy have got greater consideration as a matrix material
in most of the composite applications. Al MMCs is used in preparation of
pistons, cylinder barrel, break discs, gears, valves etc. Use of Al-Si
alloys are increasing in areas of automobile and aerospace industries.
Present study aims to investigate about wear behaviour of aluminium 7075
hybird composite with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) as
reinforcements. Hybird composite material were processed through stir
casting process. Addition of SiC is 3,6 and 9 wt.% whereas Al2O3 is fixed 5
wt.%. Wear test was conducted through unlubricated conditions. Wear rate was
been recorded after each set of experiment carried through wear test. To
optimize the control parameters Taguchi method was used as a statistical
tool. L9 orthogonal array was utilized and investigational design was based
on control factors namely SiC wt.%, load, sliding distance and response
factor was wear rate to study the wear performance. Empirical relation was
established for wear rate in relations of control variables by multiple
regression analysis. Finally, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to
evaluate the impact of specific factors on wear rate. MINITV.17.1.0 was
used to analyse the results. It was observed that load and SiC wt.% were
significant factor affecting response variable. Higher values of SiC wt.%
increased the wear resistance.

composition of essential oils having antiseptic, vermifuge, and
antispasmodic properties. The present study aims to investigate the
antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and chemical composition of the
essential oil of Artemisia herba-alba found in northeast Algeria (Khenchela
region). Artemisia herba-alba essential oil was extracted by
hydrodistillation and its chemical composition was identified by GC/MS. In
addition, the antioxidant activity of the extracted essential oil was
determined using the DPPH assay. The agar disc diffusion method was used to
determine how well the essential oil killed germs. The essential oil was
analyzed by GC/MS, revealing 35 constituents, of which the major ones were
identified as Thujone (10.55%), borneol (5.98%), and eucalyptol (1.63%). The
observed IC50 values for the DPPH assay were 18.44 ? 0.006 mg/mL. On the
other hand, this oil proved effective against all tested strains in the
22.67 ? 3.215 mm range, including Listeria innocua CIP 74915.

In this study, the potential of the walnut shell as a biosorbent for
biosorption of Cu(II), Pb(II), and As(III)/(V) ions from river water samples
was investigated. The effects of various conditions of water samples such as
the initial ion concentration, sample pH, and contact time at a constant
temperature and biosorbent dosage, on biosorption of Cu(II), Pb(II), and
As(III)/(V) were investigated. Walnut shells, as the material with a high
potential for removal of investigated ions, have biosorption efficiency of
up to 99.6%, under the applied experimental conditions. The best adsorption
time was obtained at 4 h for Cu(II), Pb(II), and As(III)/(V) ions. The
maximum removal of 97.6% (Cu(II)), 82.9% (Pb(II)), and 99.6% (As(III)/(V))
was obtained at pH=4.43, pH=8.55, and pH=7.84, respectively. Hence, the
walnut shell shows potential of a cost-effective biosorbent that could be
used for the treatment of contaminated rivers. However, further
investigation is needed to fully explore this potential.
Predicted and achieved overjet and overbite measurements with the Invisalign appliance: a retrospective study
Authors: Meade Maurice J. , Weir Tony
Published: October 2023

Objectives

To determine whether achieved outcome regarding overjet and overbite matched the predicted outcome following treatment with Invisalign (Align Technology, San Jose, Calif) aligner appliances.

Materials and Methods

Data including pretreatment, predicted and achieved overjet, and overbite measurements provided by Align’s digital treatment facility, ClinCheck Pro, were evaluated. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum intraclass correlation (ICC) test results were calculated.

Results

From an initial sample of 600, 355 adult patients satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. ICC scores for data input were excellent. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 30.14 (23.33, 39.92) years and most (n = 259; 72.95%) were women. Almost one-third (n = 101; 28.45%) had undergone extraction as part of their treatment. More aligners were prescribed in the initial digital treatment plan for patients (median, 44; IQR: 35, 51.5; minimum, 17; maximum, 92) undergoing extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment than those who were not (median, 24; IQR: 18.25, 32; minimum, 13; maximum, 85) (P < .0001). Planned changes in overjet differed significantly from achieved outcomes (P < .001). Planned increases in overbite resulted in up to more than twice (222.72%) as much increase than predicted. Planned reduction of overbite achieved 8.69% of its predicted reduction in extraction cases.

Conclusions

Achieved overjet and overbite measurements differed significantly from the predicted outcomes at the end of an initial sequence of aligners. Planned increases in overbite resulted in greater overbite correction than predicted, particularly in extraction cases. Planned overbite reduction was challenging, especially in patients with extractions.
Comparison of the effectiveness of piezocision-aided canine retraction augmented with micro-osteoperforation: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Husain Seerab , Sundari Shantha
Published: October 2023

Objective

To evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforation (MOP) on the rate of piezocision-aided canine retraction (CR).

Materials and Methods

The split-mouth study included 25 participants at the stage of commencing CR. The participants received flapless piezocision bilaterally at T0 (0 months) and MOP only on one side at T3 (3 months). The quadrant that received MOP at T3 served as the intervention, whereas the other quadrant served as the control. The primary outcome was the rate of CR, assessed using digital models. The angular change (AC) of the canine and the change in the buccal cortical bone thickness (BCBT) from before to after CR were also assessed using cone beam computed tomography.

Results

The rate of CR was 0.82 ± 0.39 mm/month in the control quadrant vs 0.75 ± 0.44 mm/month in the intervention quadrant (P > .05). The AC of the canine was 2.00° ± 0.88° in the control quadrant vs 1.98° ± 0.86° in the intervention quadrant (P > .05). The crestal bone gain was 0.50 mm in the control quadrant vs 0.28 mm of bone loss in the intervention quadrant. The bone thickness at a 3-mm height was increased by 0.11 mm in the control quadrant vs a 0.29-mm decrease in the intervention quadrant. The bone thickness at a 6-mm height was decreased by 0.12 mm in the control quadrant vs a 0.15-mm decrease in the intervention quadrant. However, none of the changes or group differences in bone height or thickness were statistically significant (P > .05).

Conclusions

The periodic activation of a piezocision-aided CR site using MOP had no significant positive effect on the rate of CR, angulation of the canine, or changes in BCBT.

Authors: Lorenzo Elizabeth , O’Neal Alicia Lynn , Garcia Lisbeth Cantu , Mendoza Kenny , Lee Rebecca E.
Published: October 2023

Objective

The objective of this study was to synthesize English and Spanish literature to determine whether electronic health interventions (EHIs) such as telehealth, telemedicine, digital health, and mobile health (mHealth) improve A1C, blood glucose, BMI, and/or weight among Hispanic/Latino adults with type 2 diabetes or overweight/obesity in the Americas.

Design and methods

Searches were conducted in June 2021 using the Scientific Electronic Library Online, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, and PsycInfo literature databases. Studies were identified that investigated the effect of an EHI on A1C, blood glucose, BMI, or weight in populations that were ≥12% Hispanic/Latino adults with type 2 diabetes or overweight/obesity, were conducted in the Americas, and were published in English or Spanish. Study quality was determined using the Quality Index Score. Data were extracted and synthesized, and themes were identified.

Results

Twenty-five studies met inclusion criteria, including 23 in English (from the United States) and two in Spanish (from Chile). A total of 22 investigated type 2 diabetes, and three investigated overweight/obesity. The studies encompassed 6,230 participants, including 3,413 Hispanic/Latino adults. Sixty-three percent of studies demonstrated significant improvements in A1C or blood glucose and 67% in weight. Thirteen studies offered an EHI in both English and Spanish, and six offered the intervention in either English or Spanish alone. All EHIs involving mHealth exclusively and most (90%) involving more than one electronic modality demonstrated a higher number of significant findings compared with those having only one EHI modality, especially telehealth (44.4%). EHIs lasting ≤12 months had more significant findings (72.7%) than those lasting >12 months (50%). Six studies had industry-related funding, with 83.3% of those demonstrating significant improvements in outcomes.

Conclusion

EHIs improved A1C and weight in adults (n = 4,355), including 45.5% Hispanic/Latino adults. mHealth and EHIs using more than one electronic modality and those lasting ≤12 months were especially effective. However, overall study quality was modest. Future research should be conducted in Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America and should compare the effectiveness of different EHI modalities.
An Exploratory Study on the Use of Speech-to-Text Technology as a Writing Modality for Pupils With Low Writing Achievement in Norwegian Lower Secondary Education
Authors: Matre Marianne Engen
Published: October 2023

Six Norwegian lower secondary school pupils (ages 14–15 years) with low writing achievement participated in a stimulated recall study aimed at exploring how pupils write and experience writing with speech-to-text (STT) technology in an educational context. The study employed an exploratory design, collecting data from screen recordings and stimulated recall interviews. The screen recordings were captured while the adolescents wrote a reflective text in Norwegian, using STT and keyboard. Findings showed that the pupils were able to produce a reflective text using STT technology while experiencing both benefits and challenges due to the technology. Benefits included the opportunity to use words that they did not know how to spell and verbal skills to produce arguments in writing. Challenges were mainly related to transcription errors and technological inaccuracies. Findings suggest that technological issues need to be addressed and sufficient planning and instruction is necessary before STT can be a truly beneficial tool for adolescents with low writing achievement in secondary education.

FREE CASH FLOW IN MODERATED CAPITAL STRUCTURE, PROFITABILITY, INSTITUTIONAL OWNERSHIP ON DIVIDEND POLICY
Authors: Naibaho Eduard Ary Binsar , Naurah Zulfa
Published: October 2023

Dividend policy is influenced by factors that are valid in studies. A factor that has run dividends uncontrollably is free cash flow. By using capital structure, profitability and institutional ownership as independent variables, we examined the effect of capital structure, profitability and institutional ownership on dividend policy with free cash flow as the moderating variable. The test was fulfilled with descriptive, verificative methods and a data panel regression model. Simultaneously, capital structure, profitability and institutional ownership had no positive impact on dividend policy even though free cash flows were collected, it drove capital structure, profitability and institutional ownership unnoticeable to dividend policy. This study is crucial to expanding the perspective on free cash flow and for future research.
