Raising the standard: Assessing the effectiveness of debate activities for English fluency in Indonesian police academy classrooms
No full textThis study examines how British Parliamentary Debate (BPD) is used to enhance English-speaking proficiency among third-year cadets at the Indonesian Police Academy (IPA). Grounded in an interpretivist perspective, it used a qualitative, single-site case study design to explore cadets’ and lecturers’ experiences with debate-based learning in police classrooms context. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis using purposive sampling (34 cadets and 2 English lecturers). The data were analyzed thematically with NVivo 15 and guided by Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The analysis highlights 5 interrelated thematic experiences in speaking improvement: initial involvement, emotional response, preparation process, topic relevance, and activity perception. Overall, debate-based learning offers a holistic approach to developing linguistic, cognitive, and affective skills and can be integrated more systematically into police-academy English curricula, particularly when reinforced through regular practice, collaborative peer work, and constructive feedback from lecturers

Analysis of the Use of Discretionary Rights in the Implementation of Regional Elections
No full textDemocracy is a system of governance that places the people as the ultimate holders of political authority. One of its primary manifestations is the mechanism of general elections, including local elections (Pilkada). Pilkada represents a concrete form of democracy at the regional level, allowing citizens to determine their local leaders. In practice, however, election administrators may confront circumstances that are not clearly regulated. In such situations, discretionary right becomes relevant to enable decision-making in the face of legal gaps or ambiguities, provided that it aligns with the general principles of good governance. This study aims to analyze the use of discretion by the Banjarbaru City General Election Commission (KPU Kota Banjarbaru) as the election management body in the 2024 mayoral and vice-mayoral election. The research method was used normative (doctrinal). The novelty in this research is the need to address specific situations, such as those encountered during the Pilkada implementation phase, by examining the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada in Banjarbaru City. Based on the research concluded that KPU’s decision to continue using the original ballotlisting two candidate pairs despite the disqualification of one pair and to classify votes for the disqualified candidate as invalid without clear differentiation constitutes an improper exercise of discretion. This decision neglected the principles of public interest, legal certainty, justice, and the protection of citizens’ electoral rights. The KPU’s inaccurate use of outdated ballots resulted in ambiguity regarding vote status, violations of fairness and electoral validity, and a decline in public trust in the integrity of the election process

Implementation of Law Enforcement Regulations for the Criminal Act of Theft with Aggregation Through a Restorative Justice Approach
No full textThe principle of the rule of law, as adopted by Indonesia, places the supremacy of law as the primary foundation for building national and state life. This means that the law should not be interpreted solely as procedural certainty, but must also reflect values of justice and benefit for the wider community. Therefore, criminal law must be directed not only at punishing perpetrators, but also at protecting the interests of victims, the community, and maintaining social order. The social legal research approach is legal research that uses primary data. The same thing is also stated that research. As socio-legal research, it views law as law in action, concerning the link between law and social institutions. Law enforcement regulations for aggravated theft in Indonesia have not yet adopted a restorative justice approach because the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code are still oriented towards a retributive paradigm that emphasizes punishment, without providing a legal basis for dismissal of cases through restitution or reconciliation.
Analysis of Legal Protection for Women Victims of Violence in Demak Regency
No full textProtection of women as human beings with dignity is a fundamental human right. This protection is rooted in the principle of gender equality and the recognition of the dignity and worth of women as individuals equal to men.

Based on the results of the study, the types of violence experienced by women in Demak Regency are diverse, including physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence. Psychological and economic violence tends to be the most common type. The contributing factors include patriarchal culture, gender inequality, low legal understanding, and social stigma against victims. The forms of violence experienced by women in Demak Regency include domestic violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and economic violence. Domestic violence still dominates, with physical and psychological violence being interrelated. The main factors causing this violence are patriarchal culture, gender inequality, weak legal understanding, and social stigma against victims. The implementation of legal protection for female victims of violence in Demak Regency already exists, but is not yet evenly distributed and optimal. Victim assistance needs to be strengthened, both legally, psychologically, and socio-economically. Legal education for the community and training of law enforcement officers must be improved to increase the effectiveness of implementation. Strengthening coordination between agencies and increasing the capacity of service institutions needs to be further enhanced. The effective implementation of legal protection for female victims of violence can reduce the impact of violence against women and increase a sense of security in the community. Obstacles and Strategic Solutions in the Implementation of Legal Protection for Female Victims of Violence in Demak Regency encompasses socio-cultural aspects, legal procedures, and limited facilities/resources.

Effectiveness of Combat Criminal Act of Trafficking in Persons in Border Areas
No full textHuman trafficking is a crime that threatens human dignity and poses a serious challenge in border areas, particularly in the Sebatik region, which shares a direct border with Malaysia. This study aims to analyze: (1) the implementation of anti-trafficking (TPPO) measures in the border area; (2) weaknesses in countermeasures undertaken by authorities; and (3) the effectiveness of future anti-trafficking measures. This study uses a normative juridical method supported by secondary data in the form of laws and regulations, scientific literature, and official documents related to the enforcement of the TIP by the Nunukan Police and the West Sebatik Police. The results indicate that the implementation of TIP countermeasures has been carried out through prevention, investigation, inquiry, and cross-agency coordination. However, authorities in the border area face several obstacles such as limited human resources, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, weak supervision of illegal crossings (rat routes), and suboptimal synergy with the community and relevant agencies. Empirical data shows that the Nunukan Police handled 24 cases in 2024 and 18 cases in 2025, indicating that human trafficking (TPPO) practices are still ongoing despite a statistical decline. This study concludes that the effectiveness of TIP prevention efforts is suboptimal due to various structural, substantive, and cultural factors, as outlined in Lawrence M. Friedman's legal system theory. To improve effectiveness in the future, capacity building of the West Sebatik Police, improvements to operational facilities, optimization of cross-sectoral coordination, and strengthening legal awareness among border communities are needed. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the formulation of more effective TIP prevention policies based on victim protection
Improving Disaster Wound Management Knowledge among Nursing Students in Taiwan through the “7 Steps Disaster Nursing” Framework
No full textDisaster wound management is a critical competency for nurses; however, standardized educational approaches addressing wound care in disaster settings remain limited in nursing education in Taiwan. The 7 Steps Disaster Nursing Wound Management framework, developed by WoCare Indonesia, provides a systematic and structured approach to improve wound management practices under disaster conditions. This community service program aimed to introduce the 7 Steps Disaster Nursing Wound Management framework to nursing students in Taiwan and to enhance their understanding of disaster-related wound care. The program was conducted in the form of an educational seminar and interactive discussions delivered in three stages: pre-test assessment, theoretical presentation and case-based discussion of the framework, and post-test evaluation accompanied by participant feedback. A total of 22 senior undergraduate nursing students from the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences (NTUNHS), Taiwan, participated in the activity. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ knowledge following the intervention, with the average pre-test score of 55 increasing to an average post-test score of 76. Approximately 90% of participants showed an increase in their post-test scores, indicating enhanced understanding of disaster wound management concepts. Feedback from participants revealed that the framework was perceived as highly relevant and provided a more systematic understanding compared to previously learned approaches. Nevertheless, a substantial proportion of participants suggested the inclusion of simulation-based or hands-on training to strengthen practical skills. In conclusion, the introduction of the 7 Steps Disaster Nursing Wound Management framework effectively improved nursing students’ knowledge of disaster wound management. The framework demonstrates strong potential for integration into disaster nursing education in Taiwan to support the development of healthcare professionals’ preparedness for emergency and disaster situation

No full textAbstract: This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 96% ethanol extract of green gelatik eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) fruit against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC-29213 bacteria using the well method. The research process includes the preparation of simplicia, ethanol extraction through maceration, qualitative tests with phytochemical screening to identify active compounds, and antibacterial tests using the well method using Staphylococcus aureus ATCC-29213 bacteria as the test material and 96% ethanol extract of green gelatik eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) fruit made in concentrations of 5%, 10% and 15% for comparison. The results showed that the extract contains flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and steroids that have the potential as antibacterials. Antibacterial activity test at 5% concentration obtained an average inhibition zone diameter of 0.0033 cm, a concentration of 10% obtained an average inhibition zone diameter of 1.17 cm, and a concentration of 15% obtained an average inhibition zone diameter of 1.58 cm. The data shows an increase in the diameter of the inhibition zone as the concentration increases, although it is still lower than the positive control (amoxicillin). ANOVA analysis showed a significant difference between treatment groups (p = 0.000), indicating a positive relationship between extract concentration and inhibitory power against S. aureus
