THE NATURE OF THE APPLICATION OF CRIMINAL ACTS OF FRAUD AND/OR EMBEZZLEMENT WITH A RESTORATIVE JUSTICE APPROACH IN SOUTH SULAWESI PROVINCIAL POLICE
Get PDFThis research explores the concept and implementation of Restorative Justice as an alternative approach to criminal law enforcement in Indonesia, particularly in cases of fraud and embezzlement as regulated under Articles 378 and 372 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). The study highlights the philosophical shift from a retributive justice system, which focuses on punishment, toward a restorative model that prioritizes repairing harm, restoring relationships, and achieving substantive justice. Restorative Justice emphasizes dialogue and reconciliation between the offender, the victim, and the community as an effort to restore social balance rather than impose retribution. Through a normative juridical approach, this study examines various legal instruments such as National Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, Attorney General Regulation No. 15 of 2020, and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016, which serve as the legal foundation for the application of Restorative Justice in Indonesia. The findings show that the implementation of Restorative Justice has provided positive impacts, including faster case resolution, reduced judicial caseloads, lower legal costs, and improved victim recovery. Furthermore, the cultural values of South Sulawesi, such as sipakatau, sipakainge, and sipakalebbi, align closely with the principles of Restorative Justice, reinforcing community-based dispute resolution. However, challenges remain in the form of limited public understanding, inconsistent application among law enforcement institutions, and weak supervision mechanisms. Therefore, strengthening the professionalism and legal awareness of law enforcement officers, particularly the police, is crucial to ensuring that the implementation of Restorative Justice upholds fairness, humanity, and the ideals of the Pancasila-based rule of law
AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS OF PROSPECTIVE STARTUP STUDENTS IN INDONESIAN STATE UNIVERSITIES
Get PDFThis study aimed to assess the entrepreneurial intention model of students influenced by psychological capital, mentoring, and entrepreneurship education in Indonesian state universities. A quantitative survey approach was employed, involving individuals participating in the Entrepreneurial Student Development Program (P2MW). The sample population comprised 258 students from 53 universities in Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method to examine the role of psychological capital, mentoring, and entrepreneurship education in influencing entrepreneurial intentions. The findings revealed that psychological capital had a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial intentions. However, mentoring and entrepreneurship education do not directly influence entrepreneurial intentions. Notably, mentoring and entrepreneurship education positively and significantly affected the enhancement of entrepreneurial intentions through psychological capital. These findings have several important academic and professional implications for understanding the university students’ entrepreneurial intention model. Additionally, this study offers a framework for formulating strategies to support key performance indicators of universities, particularly in producing entrepreneurial graduates who are in high demand in Indonesia
BRIDGING FAITH AND SUSTAINABILITY: THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL RELIGIOSITY AND HALAL CERTIFICATION IN ENHANCING MSME PERFORMANCE AND SDGS CONTRIBUTION
Get PDFPurpose: A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, gathering survey data from MSMEs in food, beverage, herbal, and service sectors. Entrepreneurial religiosity, halal certification practice, MSME performance, and SDG contribution were measured using validated indicators. The hypothesized structural model was tested using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess direct, indirect, and interaction effects. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, gathering survey data from MSMEs in food, beverage, herbal, and service sectors. Entrepreneurial religiosity, halal certification practice, MSME performance, and SDG contribution were measured using validated indicators. The hypothesized structural model was tested using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess direct, indirect, and interaction effects. Findings: The model shows that business challenges exert a very strong and significant effect on perceived SDG contribution (β = 0.901, p < 0.001). Entrepreneurial religiosity significantly improves business performance (β = 0.453, p < 0.001), while halal certification also enhances performance (β = 0.192, p < 0.001). However, neither religiosity nor halal certification directly influences perceived SDG contribution, and business performance itself does not significantly predict SDG perception. The tested moderating effect is also insignificant (β = –0.017, p > 0.05). Overall, SDG perception is shaped more by external business pressures than by internal capabilities such as religiosity, halal compliance, or performance. Research limitations/implications: The cross-sectional design limits the ability to capture behavioral change over time. The sample concentration in halal-oriented sectors may also limit broader generalization. Future studies could apply longitudinal models, include non-food sectors, or integrate qualitative exploration of faith-based sustainability practices. Practical implications: The study offers actionable insights for policymakers, halal agencies, and MSME empowerment institutions to integrate religiosity-oriented training, halal readiness programs, and performance enhancement strategies in a unified intervention model. Social implications: Strengthening faith-driven entrepreneurship and halal compliance fosters ethical markets, consumer protection, and socially responsible production. It also promotes MSME inclusion in national sustainability efforts aligned with SDG 1 (no poverty), SDG 3 (good health), SDG 8 (decent work and growth), and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production). Originality/value: This research presents a novel integrative model linking entrepreneurial religiosity, halal certification, MSME performance, and SDG contribution in a single framework. It extends sustainability and Islamic entrepreneurship literature by highlighting how faith and compliance jointly reinforce sustainable enterprise growth

Results indicate a marked increase in publication activity after 2020, highlighting a growing scholarly interest in this intersectional field. The United States emerged as the leading contributor, with the University of North Carolina identified as the most productive institution. Intellectual disability was the most frequently used keyword, while student appeared most often in abstracts, reflecting the field’s emphasis on learner-centered approaches. Overall, the findings provide an overview of global research patterns in special education–related science education and offer a foundation for future studies seeking to map emerging themes and research gaps
ORGANIZATIONAL AND DIGITAL DRIVERS OF LECTURER PERFORMANCE: EXAMINING THE MEDIATING ROLE OF WORK MOTIVATION UNDER TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Get PDFIn the contemporary landscape of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), the convergence of digital disruption and organizational dynamics necessitates a re-evaluation of performance drivers. This study proposes and argues for a comprehensive theoretical model examining the direct and indirect effects of organizational culture (OC), transformational leadership (TL), and digital transformation (DT) on lecturer performance (LP), mediated by work motivation (WM). Drawing upon Social Exchange Theory, the Job Demands-Resources model, and recent empirical literature, we posit that while DT provides the necessary structural tools for modern education, OC and TL provide the psychological and environmental antecedents required to fuel work motivation. Motivation, subsequently, acts as the proximal engine driving superior job performance. This paper provides a rigorous theoretical argumentation for these six causal pathways, offering insights for HEI administrators navigating the complexities of Industry 4.0
CONSOCIATIONALISM AS A PATHWAY TO RESOLVING THE YEMEN CRISIS: EXPLORING POSSIBILITIES AND CONFRONTING CHALLENGES
Get PDFThe international stage remains characterized by a persistent struggle for hegemony, so wars are inevitable. The conflict emerges through interaction that is characterized by friction and discord resulting from different and irreconcilable interests, and crisis refers to the highest point of a conflict. Crisis, where peace and war meet, most movingly and decisively dramatizes the first characteristic of world politics and furnishes the logical groundwork for the theorizing of that politics. The country possesses long history of religious diversity, regionalism, ethnicity and is currently experiencing a complex set of economic, social, and political challenges. Further, the crisis in Yemen is aggravated by its strategic importance in the Gulf region. Consociationalism is a system of government designed to address conflict and to be shared among diverse ethnic, religious, and linguistic communities in society. This article investigates the potential of consociationalism as a mechanism for marginalization and exclusion on the Yemeni case, and illustrates how trust, absence of functional institutions, and meddling by party’s hostile to the process impede the achievement of consociational democracy in Yemen. This paper examines the issues of applying consociational democracy in a fragmented society with particular reference to Yemen
CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS FOR PROMOTING AND INCENTIVISING INVESTMENT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PROVISIONS OF COMMERCIAL AND CIVIL LAW IN ALIGNMENT WITH OMAN VISION 2040
Get PDFThe Sultanate of Oman, like many other countries around the globe, has seen the importance of investment grow substantially over the years. Most countries have constructed constitutional, administrative, and commercial frameworks around investment and its related issues such as public infrastructure, public monies and public mechanism, the protection of private and public assets, and the issuing of limited government contracts and investment authorizations over public assets. This research sought to identify the issues surrounding the area of investment in the Sultanate of Oman, on both a micro and macro level. This research also sought to determine the extent and sufficiency of the Omani legal framework as it pertains to investments and its alignment to the Oman Vision 2040, in order to provide greater insight on the scope of public authority and discretion to enter into investment agreements and the public authority to amend such agreements. This study used a descriptive and comparative analytical approach to assess Omani constitutional and commercial legislation in order to assess the extent to which the legislation provides an adequate and comprehensive legal framework to the investments of a domestic and foreign character. In order to prove our point, which is the aim of obtaining such awards, is that the investment must be confined to a jurisdiction where there is a legal framework that defends the rights of both the contracting party and the state awarding the concession and there are legal provisions that reasonably regulate the aforementioned rights of both parties. Hence this research will address the notion and the essence of investment both domestic and international, in order to explicate its legal qualification and the applicable legal provisions and the implications of such provisions on the parties. This justification will be accomplished in two principal parts
CREATIVE WORKERS’ SENSE OF PLACE ASSOCIATED WITH CULTURAL CREATIVE CLUSTERS：A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Get PDFThis study presents a systematic literature review exploring the relationship between creative workers’ sense of place (SoP) and the development of Cultural and Creative Clusters (CCCs). While CCCs are widely recognized for their role in driving innovation and urban economic growth, limited research has examined how SoP, comprising place attachment, place identity, and place dependence, influences both the career trajectories of creative professionals and the sustainability of CCCs. SoP shapes creative workers’ professional identity, sense of belonging, and collaborative engagement, while simultaneously enhancing the cultural distinctiveness, attractiveness, and resilience of CCCs. To investigate this relationship, the study reviewed 62 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2024. The synthesis reveals that high-quality built environments, inclusive social settings, and culturally rich urban experiences significantly enhance creative workers’ engagement, satisfaction, and long-term commitment to place. Additionally, local heritage and urban identity are shown to play a pivotal role in shaping the global competitiveness of CCCs. The study proposes a three-dimensional conceptual framework linking SoP with creative industry agglomeration, offering new insights into how emotional, cultural, and functional place-based factors influence the spatial behavior of creative workers. The findings underscore the importance of integrating SoP into urban planning and cultural policy to attract and retain creative talent, strengthen place-based cultural ecosystems, and support the sustainable evolution of CCCs. This research contributes to the growing discourse on creative urbanism by bridging human-place relationships with cultural cluster development
FRAUD DETECTION USING MACHINE LEARNING IN FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Get PDFFraud in online financial transactions is a constant and growing threat as digital commerce and real-time payments expand. Since fraud is rare, labels are often delayed or unclear, and attackers change tactics quickly, detection systems must handle class imbalance while meeting strict requirements for speed, privacy, security, and oversight. This review summarizes peer-reviewed research from 2020 to 2025 on machine learning methods for detecting fraud in card-present and card-not-present payments, account-based transactions, bank transfers, and multi-channel monitoring. After a structured screening process, 1,021 records were reviewed, duplicates were removed, and 77 studies were included for qualitative analysis. To look beyond accuracy, we introduce the Operational Capability Triad (ORT), which focuses on three main areas: data realism and leakage control, resilience to changing fraud patterns, and understandability and governance for human investigators. The literature shows that gradient-boosted decision trees are still strong for tabular data, deep learning is used more for behavioral sequences, and graph-driven methods help find organized fraud. The review ends with practical recommendations, including drift-aware evaluation, privacy-respecting benchmarking across institutions, and standard metrics to measure loss prevention and analyst workload
EVALUATION OF ESG PRACTICES IN RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS COMPANIES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFThe purpose of the article was to examine how ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria are applied to oil companies and highlight the need for industry-specific evaluation methods that better reflect their contribution to sustainable development. Authors used methods as comparative analysis of existing ESG rating methodologies, focusing on their limitations in assessing the oil industry. The study identifies key factors such as climate impact, resource use, and social responsibility that require greater integration into evaluation frameworks. Although ESG ratings are central to assessing investment attractiveness, current models often overlook the specific environmental and operational features of oil companies. This research addresses that methodological gap. Existing ESG systems can distort the sustainability profile of oil companies. Developing more tailored and transparent methods would improve rating accuracy and strengthen trust among investors and society. The paper outlines a conceptual basis for adapting ESG assessment models to industry characteristics, promoting fairer and more reliable sustainability evaluations
