Hidden tactics: Deposit agreement in debt contracts
Get PDFIntroduction to the Problem: The deposit agreement in the debt agreement, as stated in the receipt, strategically influences the power dynamics between the creditor and the debtor. Often, the practice of such contracts is used to disguise the true intent. The deposit agreement provision behind the debt agreement ensures greater control over the repayment process. In the event of default, the creditor uses the receipt with the deposit clause to report the debtor for embezzlement.
Purpose/Study Objectives: This paper analyses the provisions of debt agreements made in deposit receipts to find the best solution for fulfilling a balanced contractual relationship.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research employs a normative juridical approach, focusing on literature reviews, legislative regulations with specific details, and analytical descriptive research.
Findings: This research shows that debt and deposit agreements contained in the deed of release of rights are valid and binding for the parties involved as long as no party denies them. However, upon closer examination of the agreement's intent and purpose, it becomes apparent that the agreement can be fabricated and contain invalid reasons. Although the principle of freedom of contract applies to the agreement, it does not mean that you can do it as freely as possible. Criminalizing someone for breaching a contract is not an appropriate course of action. It should be a concern for law enforcement officers unless there is strong evidence that embezzlement or fraud has occurred.

The legal effect of electronic bonds lacking an authenticated signature in Jordanian legislation
Get PDFIntroduction to the Problem: This study examines the Jordanian legislator's stance on the conditions for electronic signatures, as outlined in the Electronic Transactions Law and the Jordanian Evidence Law. It aims to assess the consistency between the two laws, particularly since the Electronic Transactions Law specifies requirements for electronic signatures, while the Evidence Law remains silent on such conditions.
Purpose/Objective Study: This study aims to examine how the recognition and enforceability of electronic bonds vary depending on the type of electronic signature used—specifically comparing authenticated and secured signatures versus unauthenticated yet secured signatures. The analysis will assess the impact of these signatures on the validity and legal standing of electronic bonds, similar to how handwritten signatures affect traditional bonds. Identifying gaps in this relationship will help address potential shortcomings in ensuring authenticity and legal compliance.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, we follow two approaches: the descriptive approach in presenting electronic bonds, their types, protection, the validity of an authenticated and protected electronic signature in one hand, and the unauthenticated and unprotected electronic signature. The analytical approach was also relied on. The legal texts regulating the process of electronic bonds and electronic signatures will be reviewed, analyzed, and compared with other laws.
Findings: The study highlights how electronic authentication can streamline international trade by reducing documentation costs, provided legal frameworks ensure security and reliability. While Jordan’s Electronic Transactions Law grants e-signatures legal validity, gaps remain in regulating authentication entities. Key recommendations include: (1) establishing an 'electronic examiner' to verify signatures, (2) clarifying certification providers’ liability for data protection, and (3) formalizing government-contractor agreements for authentication services. Strengthening judicial training on digital transactions is also advised to enhance enforcement.

Pro-Environmental Behavior among Urban Millennial Workers: a Focus Group Discussions
Get PDFWaste management has been a critical issue in Indonesia, demanding urgent attention for sustainability and public health. The lack of public awareness underscored the need to understand pro-environmental behaviors, particularly waste sorting. Indonesia’s urban millennial workforce was expected to drive change in raising environmental awareness. This study explored the waste sorting behavior of urban millennial workers, influenced by work and family environments. Using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 18 participants (8 in Jakarta, 10 in Surabaya), data was analyzed using NVIVO 14. The qualitative approach was chosen for its ability to provide in-depth insights into participants’ behaviors and perspectives. Findings revealed that inadequate facilities, lack of social support, and weak regulation enforcement hindered waste sorting, despite positive attitudes toward sustainability. The study suggested improving infrastructure, enforcing regulations, and enhancing socialization to promote sustainable waste sorting among urban millennial workers. The findings emphasized the need for policy development and corporate responsibility and recommended further research on the long-term effects of education, socialization, and regulation enforcement
Adaptation of the Authentic Followership Scale into Indonesian: A Validity Study
Get PDFAuthentic followership has been proven to contribute to increasing the effectiveness of leadership and organizational performance. Authentic followership has four-dimensional structures, namely self-awareness, balanced processing, relational transparency, and internalized moral perspective. Based on previous studies, the only measuring instrument that is comprehensive enough to reveal the construct of authentic followership is the authentic followership scale by Leroy et al. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to adapt the authentic followership scale into the Indonesian language and test its validity. To determine the content and construct validity of the measuring instrument, this study involved 531 participants (M age = 42.31, SD = 9.76; 58% female and 42% male). The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) proved that the four-factor measurement model (16 items) fit the empirical data obtained. This finding indicates that the Indonesian adaptation of the authentic followership scale has internal validity and construct validity as a measuring instrument. This study has limitations related to participants who only involved members of public organizations from East Java. Therefore, further research should involve members of public organizations from various organizations throughout the province. The originality of this study is the only adaptation process of the authentic followership scale in the Indonesian language that has ever existed
Validating the Indonesian Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale: Confirmatory Factor Analysis in Surakarta High School Students
Get PDFResilience is a crucial aspect that is closely related to the mental health of children and adolescents. The development of measurements related to resilience can be the first step to be able to conduct accurate psychological assessments and develop strategies to strengthen resilience. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The analysis was conducted on a sample of 1,087 high school students from the Surakarta area. The initial CFA model for the resilience scale showed a good fit (RMSEA = 0.073; SRMR = 0.055; CFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.95, GFI = 0.90). Model fit means that the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) model is supported by empirical data and supports the theoretical structure. The scale also met the criteria of convergent and discriminant validity, as well as reliability, in explaining the dimensions of resilience: personal competence, trust in instinct, acceptance of change, control, and spirituality. Among these dimensions, spirituality, personal competence, and trust had the highest reflective weight, followed by acceptance and control. In conclusion, this study confirmed that the Indonesian version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a valid and reliable tool for measuring resilience among senior high school students. Therefore, this scale can be used in conducting accurate psychological assessments in order to build strategies to strengthen resilience in adolescents.
Perceived Organizational Support and Turnover Intention: Mediating Effects of Satisfaction and Stress of Palm Oil Harvester
Get PDFTurnover is a persistent issue within organizations. Its impact can have both direct and indirect effects on the company. A high rate of turnover intention can lead to instability in the organizational structure, which may subsequently decrease the effectiveness and efficiency of the company’s operations. This study examines the roles of job satisfaction and job stress in mediating the relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intention. The research employs a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional study design. The characteristic population for this study consists of oil palm harvester employees at PT XY, and a saturated sampling technique was utilized, resulting in a total sample of 145 oil palm harvesters. The instruments employed in the study include the perceived organizational support scale, job satisfaction scale, job stress scale, and turnover intention scale. The findings indicate that job stress partially mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intention (β=-0.348, p<0.01) among harvesting employees. Meanwhile, job satisfaction does not mediate this relationship (β=-0.058, p>0.01) for the harvester employees at PT XY. These findings provide practical insights for human resource strategies aimed at reducing employee turnover, particularly in labor-intensive plantation sectors
Sense of Belonging and Lecturers’ Work Enthusiasm in the Campus Environment Context
Get PDFThis study examined the influence of campus facilities and environmental quality on lecturers’ work enthusiasm, with sense of belonging as a mediating variable. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 74 lecturers at Universitas Tjut Nyak Dhien Medan. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Measurement items showed strong validity, with factor loadings between 0.802 and 0.876. Results revealed that campus facilities significantly affect both work enthusiasm (t= 3.187) and sense of belonging (t= 4.211). Environmental quality also exerts a significant effect on sense of belonging (t= 5.025) and work enthusiasm (t= 5.335). Moreover, sense of belonging positively influences work enthusiasm (t= 4.271), confirming its mediating role. The findings extend Resource-Based View, AMO framework, and Social Exchange Theory in the Indonesian higher education context. Practically, they suggest universities should enhance facilities, improve work environments, and foster belonging to strengthen lecturers’ enthusiast
Effectiveness of brief mindfulness intervention in reducing psychological distress among family caregivers of cancer patients
Get PDFFamily caregivers are particularly vulnerable to psychological distress due to the cumulative burden of caregiving responsibilities and the challenges of balancing their own personal needs. Mindfulness-based approaches have been widely recognized as promising strategies for alleviating psychological distress. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a Brief Mindfulness Intervention (BMI) in reducing psychological distress among family caregivers of breast cancer patients. A quasi-experimental design was employed, and purposive sampling was used to recruit 30 family caregivers (15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group). The intervention consisted of a single 90-minute session, and psychological distress was assessed using the DASS-21. The findings indicated significant reductions in depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress following the BMI (depression: p = 0.002; anxiety: p = 0.000; stress: p = 0.000). Cohen’s d effect size demonstrated that BMI produced substantial effects, particularly on anxiety and stress (depression: d = 0.43338; anxiety: d = 1.6170; stress: d = 1.1240). These results suggest that BMI may serve as a feasible and preliminary coping strategy for mitigating psychological distress among family caregivers facing emotionally demanding caregiving situations
Analysis of antioxidant and standardization of ethanol extract of rumput mutiara (Oldelandia corymbosa L.)
Get PDFThe majority of traditional medicinal plants in Indonesia lack scientific validation. Scientific assessment, in conjunction with traditional knowledge, is crucial for acquiring effective pharmaceuticals for commercial use. Rumput mutiara (Oldelandia corymbosa L) is a member of the Rubiaceae family and has been utilized as a traditional medicinal plant for the treatment of various ailments. The objective of this research was to assess the quality of both specific and non-specific parameters and to investigate the antioxidant potential of rumput mutiara. Antioxidant activity was evaluated with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH). The findings for non-specific parameters indicated that the shrinkage drying of the extract and the water content were 18.00 ± 0.000% and 12.20 ± 0.000%, respectively. Simultaneously, particular parameters indicate that the extracts possess a distinct odor, exhibit a blackish-brown hue, and display a viscous consistency. Microscopic parameters of rumput mutiara simplicia showed fragments such as anthers, leaf mesophyll, epidermis and stomata, transport bundles, stem parenchym, and sclerenchyma. Spesific parameters, such as the water-soluble content, and ethanol-soluble compounds were 72.00 ± 0.000 % and 35.00± 0.000 % , respectively. In addition, TLC profiles showed that secondary metabolites of extract were 6 alkaloids, 5 phenolics, 5 flavonoids, 5 tanins, 3 saponins, 5 steroid, and 5 glycosides. The extract has strong antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 14.11 ±0.008 µg/mL
