Characteristics of Criminal Liability of Political Parties in Corruption Offenses
Get PDFPolitical parties play a strategic role in advancing democracy, but they are increasingly faced with issues that cast a negative light on their organizations. These issues include, first, the involvement of political parties in various corruption cases, which damages their public image and reduces public trust in them; second, the legal debate surrounding the criminal liability of political parties implicated in corruption cases; and third, the challenge of imposing criminal sanctions on political parties or corporations as legal entities proven to have committed corruption offenses. Political parties are associations composed of individuals, an element defining them as organizations or management bodies within the parties. Political parties manage independent finances and are considered part of “organized wealth” and a “legal entity” capable of acting on their own behalf. This establishes that, fundamentally, political parties possess characteristics akin to corporations in the context of corruption offenses

Grammaticalization of Marine Animals as a Living Environment: A Case Study in Eco-Linguistics of the Bima Language
Get PDFThis study analyzes the grammaticalization process in naming marine animals in Bima language, especially the use of prefixes {ka-}, {sa-}, and marine animals that do not have prefixes Ø the use of these prefixes reflects the physical characteristics and ecological relationships between Bima people and their marine environment. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. The data obtained was then analyzed with an ecolinguistic approach to understand how language represents human relationships with nature, as well as grammaticalization theory to reveal structured linguistic patterns in naming marine animals. The results show that the {ka-} prefix is consistently used for 'hard-shelled animals', while the {sa-} prefix is used to symbolize 'soft-shelled/non-shelled marine animals'. This study confirms that the grammaticalization process in Bima language not only explains the physical characteristics of marine animals, but also the relationship between Bima people and their marine ecosystem. In addition, this study also reveals that marine animals that are not grammaticalized reflect their position outside the human environment, but are still an important part of fulfilling their needs

Transformation of Masculinity: The Androgynous Style of Male K-Pop Idols and Its Implications for Dance in Indonesia
Get PDFThe phenomenon of globalization, which allows for rapid and widespread cultural exchange, has had a major impact on Indonesian society's views on gender and masculinity. One of the biggest influences comes from K-pop, which promotes the concept of androgyny through the appearance of male K-pop idols. This androgynous style, which combines masculine and feminine elements, is gaining attention among Indonesian K-pop fans. This research aims to explore the acceptance of the androgynous style adopted by male K-pop idols among Indonesian fans and its impact on dance perspectives. The results show that despite going against traditional gender stereotypes in Indonesia, this androgynous style is well received by fans. The style also serves as a driver of change in society's view of masculinity, as well as introducing a more inclusive concept of gender expression. In the world of dance, this androgynous phenomenon is reflected in the wider acceptance of cross-gender elements in dance performances. This research concludes that androgyny, driven by K-pop culture, can be a means to expand a more inclusive and progressive appreciation of dance in Indonesia

Orientalist Perspectives: Othering the Muslims in the Reluctant Fundamentalist
Get PDFUsing Orientalism as a framework, this research investigates how Muslims are portrayed in the novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist written by Mohsin Hamid. This paper analyzes the process by which narratives establish and demolish assumptions associated to Muslim identities within the context of the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001. The essential concepts of Edward Said are an integral part of this investigation. By conducting an analysis of the experiences and relationships of the novel's protagonist, Changez, the objective of this essay is to demonstrate the novel's critique of Western views of the East and its challenge to simple representations of Muslims. The investigation lays a strong emphasis on the ways in which Hamid challenges Orientalist beliefs through the use of literary approaches. As a consequence of this, a portrayal of Muslim identity that is rich in several aspects and defies being categorized in a straightforward manner is presented. The findings of this paper offer a more comprehensive understanding of contemporary literary responses to Orientalism, as well as the various issues that Muslims face in a society that is becoming more and more globalized
Legal Perspective of Consumer Protection in Indonesia Regarding Illegal Skincare Products
Get PDFProtecting consumers against harmful skincare and cosmetic goods that shouldn't be marketed or given to the general public is another aspect of consumer protection. One important consideration for consumers is the safety of cosmetic goods. Cosmetics must have a halal accreditation and adhere to quality and safety regulations. Cosmetic items must not include any hazardous ingredients. Before and after cosmetic items are put on the market, the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) plays a crucial role in their oversight. The assessment and inspection of product safety at the point of sale is part of this oversight. The research method used is the legislative method with a normative legal framework, case method, and conceptual method. The purpose of this study is to determine the legal problems related to the use of illegal or unregistered skincare/cosmetics according to BPOM. The implementation of legal protection for consumers is demonstrated by the withdrawal and discontinuation of products that are illegally distributed without BPOM's permit. This is because it is challenging for BPOM to monitor the circulation of cosmetics sold online, so the public is advised to exercise greater caution when making purchases online. BPOM penalizes items that breach, not the intents of the offenders, and requires business actors to hold a Certificate of Good Cosmetic Manufacturing Practices
