The Politics of Power: Ridwan Kamil and the Dynamics of the 2024 Jakarta Election
Get PDFThe 2024 Jakarta elections reflect the complexity of politics in Indonesia, where power is used strategically to maintain dominance. This paper aims to analyse the dynamics of power used by Ridwan Kamil, through the approach of Steven Lukes' (2005) three-dimensional view of power. Using a qualitative descriptive method based on literature study, this paper finds that although Ridwan Kamil utilizes the dimensions of Visible, Hidden and Invisible Power strategically; public resistance hinders the effectiveness of this strategy. This confirms that in an increasingly elitist political system, the 2024 Jakarta election still proves that as in democratic politics, power is not solely about elite dominance but also a matter of legitimacy and public acceptance that cannot be fully controlled by political actors. Although it cannot be denied that the power struggle between elites will always continue to occur
Parenting stress, resilience, religiosity, and emotional competence in caregivers of children with special needs
Get PDFChildren with special needs require caregivers to care for them and provide full or partial assistance in the carrying out of their daily activities, including undergoing therapy, going to school, receiving medication, and performing their daily routines. This can cause stress and a burden of care for caregiver, meaning that caregivers require emotional competence; this study aims to develop a model of such competence. Using a cross-sectional, correlational quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 caregivers selected purposively from the Yamet Foundation in Central Java. The research instruments were the Profile of Emotional Competence, Centrality of Religiosity Scale, Resilience Scale, and the Parenting Stress Scale. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with Lisrel. The findings reveal that the proposed model successfully captures the relationships between parenting stress, resilience, religiosity, and emotional competence. Parenting stress significantly and negatively affects emotional competence, with a path coefficient of β = -.39, t = -5.29, with higher stress levels correlating to reduced resilience and religiosity. In addition, resilience and religiosity act as mediator variables, with a score of z = -2.346 for religiosity and z = -2.017 for resilience, meaning that both variables act as mediators. However, resilience and religiosity do not directly influence each other. The study suggests that enhancing parents’ resilience and religiosity may buffer the impact of parenting stress on emotional competence. Thus, psychosocial support programs should integrate resilience-building and spiritual-based approaches to empower families of children with special needs
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COAGULANTS AND FLOCCULANTS IN IMPROVING CLARIFIER WATER QUALITY: A CASE STUDY AT PT PERTA ARUN GAS, LHOKSEUMAWE
Get PDFThis study evaluated the effectiveness of coagulants and flocculants in improving clarifier water quality, with a focus on pH, iron (Fe) concentration, and turbidity levels. In accordance with Indonesia’s Ministry of Health Regulation No. 32/2017 on environmental health standards for water, clarifier water samples were analyzed before and after treatment. The results show that the treated water complied with the specified standards, with pH levels ranging from 6.5 to 8.5, Fe concentrations below 1 mg/L, and turbidity under 25 NTU. The application of aluminum sulfate as a coagulant and polymer as a flocculant effectively reduced Fe concentrations and turbidity while adjusting the pH to acceptable levels. These findings confirm the critical role of coagulation and flocculation in industrial water treatment processes and demonstrate their potential for enhancing water quality in clarifier systems
AMMONIUM-MODIFIED NATURAL ZEOLITE: A PROMISING CATALYST FOR RENEWABLE DIESEL PRODUCTION – A REVIEW
Get PDFThe global shift toward sustainable energy has intensified research into renewable diesel production, owing to its superior fuel properties and environmental benefits. Catalysts play a crucial role in the hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils and biomass-derived feedstocks to produce green diesel. Natural zeolites, valued for their high thermal stability and tunable acidity, have emerged as cost-effective catalytic alternatives. This review explored recent advancements in the application of ammonium-modified natural zeolites as catalysts in green diesel production. Characterization techniques, including FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), TG-DTG (Thermogravimetric Analysis), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and NH₃-TPD (Temperature-Programmed Desorption of Ammonia), were employed to analyze NH₄⁺-zeolites. Results demonstrate that ammonium modification enhanced the acidity, porosity, and catalytic efficiency of natural zeolites, leading to improved deoxygenation selectivity and increased green diesel yields. The NH₄⁺-modified zeolite achieved a C₁₅ hydrocarbon selectivity of 70%, compared to 54% for the unmodified variant. Furthermore, introducing ammonium ions helped regulate acidity by mitigating excessive Brønsted acidity, ultimately reducing coke formation and improving catalyst stability. This review discusses the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of ammonium-modified natural zeolites in green diesel production. It also addresses the challenges and future directions for scaling up their application in renewable fuel technologie
Digital Experience and Reuse Intention in Online Food Delivery Platforms
Get PDFThis study explores the determinants influencing the reuse intention of the GrabFood application among Generation Z consumers in Semarang City, Indonesia. Amid the rapid growth of online food delivery services, understanding the behavioral drivers of digital-native consumers remains underexplored, particularly in the context of Southeast Asian markets. This research contributes to the literature by integrating constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with marketing perspectives such as brand personality and promotional incentives, offering a comprehensive framework to examine user retention behavior. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 210 Gen Z respondents through structured questionnaires employing a 7-point Likert scale. The analytical method employed was Structural Equation Modeling using Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), enabling robust assessment of the measurement and structural models. The findings reveal that brand personality, perceived usefulness, and voucher discounts significantly influence reuse intention, whereas perceived ease of use does not exhibit a direct effect. These results suggest that while functionality matters, emotional brand connections and tangible value propositions (such as discounts) are more salient in driving continued app usage among Gen Z users. The study offers practical implications for marketers and digital platform providers, highlighting the importance of aligning brand attributes with generational preferences and emphasizing value-driven promotions to enhance customer loyalty and sustained engagements
How Halal Awareness and Health Reason can Influence Halal Food Purchasing Decision Among University Students?
Get PDFA List of the 500 Most Powerful Muslims in the World: The Muslim 500 reports that 240 million people, or approximately 86.7% of Indonesia’s population, identify as Muslims according to data collected by The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre (RISSC) in 2024. With this, Indonesia surpasses all other countries in terms of the number of Muslims. At the moment, halal is not just a religious but also a worldwide issue. Contrarily, a large number of MSEs in Indonesia have yet to formally apply for halal certification. This research involved 125 first-year students from Brawijaya University using an accidental sampling-based non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected via a web-based survey and analyzed using scoring analysis, descriptive statistics, and SEM-PLS. Variables in this study include familiarity with halal certification, health concerns, purchase intention, and purchase decision. The results show that intention to purchase halal food items is significantly impacted by health concerns and halal knowledge. In addition, health concerns and purchase intention positively and significantly affect the decision to purchase halal food items
The Role of Child Psychological Test Results in Custody Decisions in Divorce Cases
Get PDF This study examines the urgency of documentary evidence in the form of child psychology test results as a consideration for judges in determining child custody (hadanah) in divorce cases. Legal decisions in divorce cases in Medan (2021) prioritize the best interests of children, especially those who are still minors and vulnerable to psychological trauma due to conflict and parental separation. The results of child psychology tests serve as formal indicators of trauma or emotional disturbance and can help identify which parents provide a safer and more emotionally stable environment. This article uses a normative legal research method with a statutory and conceptual approach and is supported by a comparative study of first-instance court decisions. Empirical data obtained from interviews with psychologists and several judges at the Medan Religious Court show that child psychological assessments are often submitted but rarely considered by judges in their final decisions. This study criticizes the court's decision to grant custody to parents who have a history of violent behavior based on the results of psychological tests, which causes the child to show fear and be reluctant to interact with his mother. This article concludes that the principle of justice for children as the primary victims should be reviewed and emphasized and that psychological test results should be considered as crucial legal evidence in child custody decisions.
Artikel ini mengkaji urgensi alat bukti surat berupa hasil analisis tes psikologi anak sebagai bahan pertimbangan hakim dalam menetapkan hak asuh anak (hadanah) dalam perkara perceraian. Putusan hukum dalam perkara perceraian di Medan (2021) mengutamakan kepentingan terbaik anak, terutama yang masih di bawah umur dan rentan mengalami trauma psikologis akibat konflik dan perpisahan orang tua. Hasil tes psikologi anak berfungsi sebagai indikator formal adanya trauma atau gangguan emosional, serta dapat membantu mengidentifikasi orang tua mana yang memberikan lingkungan yang lebih aman dan lebih stabil secara emosional. Artikel ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual serta didukung oleh studi banding putusan pengadilan tingkat pertama. Data empiris yang diperoleh dari wawancara dengan psikolog dan beberapa hakim di Pengadilan Agama Medan menunjukkan bahwa penilaian psikologis anak sering diajukan tetapi jarang dipertimbangkan oleh hakim dalam keputusan akhir mereka. Penelitian ini mengkritik keputusan pengadilan yang memberikan hak asuh kepada orang tua yang memiliki riwayat perilaku kekerasan berdasarkan hasil tes psikologis, yang menyebabkan anak tersebut menunjukkan rasa takut dan enggan berinteraksi dengan ibunya. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa prinsip keadilan bagi anak sebagai korban utama harus ditinjau kembali dan ditekankan, dan bahwa hasil tes psikologi harus dipertimbangkan sebagai bukti hukum yang penting dalam putusan hak asuh anak.

Implementation of Boarding School-Based Educational Institution Management in Character Building
No full textThis research aims to analyze in depth the process of boarding school-based educational management in forming a positive cultural character of students at Trenmatika IBS School Bekasi. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews with the school principal, teachers, musyrif (mentors), students, and parents, as well as observation of daily activities and documentation of school programs. The research findings show that educational management is implemented in a structured manner through the stages of planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation, which are integrated with religious and character values. Programs such as Sholat Khusyu' (prayer with deep concentration), Tahsinul Qur’an (improving Qur'an recitation), time management, and environmental cleanliness are part of a habituation strategy that shapes the discipline, responsibility, and spirituality of students. Supervision is carried out continuously with a reward and punishment system and parental involvement through communication forums. These findings indicate that effective and participatory management can create an educational environment that supports holistic character building. The limitation of this research lies in the untapped aspects of quantitative measurement and a more in-depth role of the family. The implications of this research can serve as a reference for the development of character education management in other boarding school environments
