Analysis of Disaster Survivors' Perceptions Regarding Disaster Preparedness in Tondo Housing

2025-10-15T14:39:54+07:00

This study aims to analyze disaster survivors’ perceptions of disaster preparedness in the Permanent Housing (Huntap) area of Tondo, Palu City. Huntap Tondo serves as a relocation site for victims of the 2018 earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction disasters. Although survivors now reside in a newly developed area designed to enhance safety and comfort, they continue to face potential future disaster risks. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving 15 key informants, including survivors and community leaders.

The findings reveal that survivors’ perceptions of disaster preparedness are strongly influenced by their traumatic experiences, level of understanding of disaster risks, and the availability of disaster information and education within their environment. While some survivors demonstrated high awareness of the importance of preparedness—such as storing emergency supplies and participating in disaster training—others exhibited more passive attitudes, relying predominantly on authorities. Limited community involvement in mitigation planning and insufficient routine socialization were identified as major obstacles to fostering collective preparedness.

This study recommends a more participatory, community-based approach alongside strengthening local capacity through ongoing training and the establishment of accessible disaster information systems for all residents of Huntap Tondo.

Style of the Nid?' Language: A Study of its Structure and Function in the Interpretation of the Qur'an

2025-10-15T14:39:55+07:00

This study discusses the concept of nid?' (call or call) in the Qur'an as a form of language style that is full of meaning and purpose of communication. This study departs from the view of Quraish Shihab and Fazlurrahman that the Qur'an has a breadth of meaning that can be studied from various points of view, including linguistic and rhetorical aspects. The Nid?' in the Qur'an not only serves as a summoner, but also conveys da'wah messages, warnings, invitations, and even prohibitions and questions. This study classifies nid?' into three main forms: nid?' '?m (general appeal), nid?' kh?? (a special appeal to a particular group), and nid?' lil-asykh?? (a call to a specific individual). In addition, the lexical and terminological meaning of nid?', the types of nid?' letters, as well as the essential meaning of majazi in its use are also discussed. With an approach to linguistic analysis and interpretation, this study confirms that the style of nid?' language in the Qur'an contains a strategic theological, pedagogical, and psychological content in conveying divine messages to mankind in various contexts.

Accessibility and Participation: South Sumatra KPU Efforts to Present Disability-Friendly Elections in the city of Palembang in 2024

2025-10-26T18:19:31+07:00

This study aims to identify the strategy of the South Sumatra Provincial KPU in increasing the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 Presidential election in Palembang City, as well as the obstacles and factors that affect the effectiveness of the strategy. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, by collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation at the South Sumatra Provincial KPU office, as well as the chairman of KPPS, and the Disability Group. Data analysis is carried out through data collection, data reduction, data presentation as well as verification and affirmation of thematic conclusions based on Strategy Theory (Mulgan, 2009:19) and Political Participation Theory (Budiardjo, 2019), to identify the KPU strategy as well as the obstacles and factors that affect the effectiveness of the strategy. The results of the research revealed that the South Sumatra Provincial KPU implemented various strategies to increase the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 Presidential Election. The strategy includes direct socialization to communities and social institutions, the use of social media and tools such as braille, and training for KPPS to be able to provide inclusive services. The KPU also involves people with disabilities in election simulations and public service advertisements to increase their political awareness. Facilities at the polling station are prepared to be disability-friendly, such as special lanes, wheelchairs, and pick-up services. Cooperation with social institutions and communities with disabilities also strengthens the dissemination of information. Despite obstacles such as limitations of disability-friendly information media and psychological barriers, this strategy is considered effective in increasing the confidence and political participation of people with disabilities. This effort reflects the commitment of the South Sumatra KPU in realizing inclusive, fair, and equal elections for all. Based on the results of the research, the South Sumatra Provincial KPU's strategy in increasing the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 Presidential Election in Palembang City shows a positive commitment, but still faces obstacles. The goal of political inclusion has been well directed, but the provision of facilities and information still does not fully support the needs of people with disabilities, especially for sensory and intellectual disabilities. Socialization is not yet fully accessible, and the involvement of people with disabilities in decision-making is still limited. The participation rate is still mostly passive due to lack of information, physical barriers, and psychological and social factors. To realize inclusive elections, the KPU's strategy needs to be strengthened through increased accessibility, involvement of the disability community, and more disability-friendly communication methods.

Status of Ulnar Nerve in Patients After Open Reduction Surgery Internal Fixation of Distal Humerus Fracture at Adam Malik Hospital Medan

2025-10-15T14:39:55+07:00

Background: Distal humerus fractures are complex injuries that often require internal fixation open reduction surgery (ORIF). One of the complications that often accompanies is an ulnar nerve injury, which is reportedly related to the surgical approach technique. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the type of surgical approach and the incidence of post-ORIF ulnar nerve injury in distal humerus fractures. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 45 patients undergoing distal humerus fracture ORIF at Adam Malik Hospital Medan for the 2020-2024 period. Data were collected from medical records and postoperative neuroimaging results using McGowan's classification. The surgical approaches studied are: paratricipital, triceps splitting, Chevron osteotomy. Results: The mean age of patients was 42.02±12.46 years, with the majority being male (60%). The most frequent injury mechanism was falling (46.67%). The paratricipital approach is most commonly used (44.44%), followed by chevron osteotomy (35.56%) and triceps splitting (20%). Postoperative ulnar nerve injury was found in 3 patients (6.67%), with the highest proportionally incidence on the triceps splitting approach (11.1%). Analysis with Kolmogorov-Smirnov showed an insignificant association between surgical approach and ulnar nerve injury (p = 0.786). Conclusions: No significant association was found between the surgical approach of ORIF and the incidence of ulnar nerve injury. These findings may be a consideration in the selection of a safe surgical approach to the ulnar nerve in distal humerus fractures.

Neglected SCFE Treated with Modified Dunn Procedure: A Case Series

2025-10-29T22:27:50+07:00

Introduction: Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition of the proximal femoral physis that causes metaphyseal displacement that can lead to femoroacetabular impingement and premature osteoarthritis. The management of SCFE so far had significant complications of avascular necrosis so that the Modified Dunn procedure was developed to allow the visual control of the epiphyseal vascular blood supply.

Cases Description: We report 2 cases of SCFE in two 14-year-old males who had previous trauma and then underwent open epiphyseal reduction and fixation with modified Dunn procedure. Postoperative evaluation showed there were no cases of avascular necrosis. In addition, the anatomy of the femoral epiphysis was successfully restored, as indicated by a residual slip angle ranging from 4° to 8°, which was considered minimal and not clinically significant.

Discussion: The modified Dunn procedure with a retinacular soft tissue flap approach provides the opportunity to perform anatomical reduction of the displaced femoral epiphysis while allowing visual monitoring of femoral head perfusion through the retinacular tissue. When performed by an experienced operator and with careful and precise surgical technique, this procedure has been shown to produce favorable outcomes, both in terms of low AVN rates, functional improvement, and prevention of osteoarthritis progression.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that the modified Dunn technique may be an effective and safe option in the management of SCFE, especially in patients with moderate to severe degrees of slippage. With this approach, not only joint stability can be maintained, but also the anatomical shape of the femoral head can be restored as close to normal as possible.

2025-10-15T14:39:57+07:00

Problem-solving skills are important skills in physics learning. However, learning practices in schools are still dominated by conventional methods that are less able to accommodate differences in learning styles and student readiness levels. Therefore, the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model with a differentiated approach is seen as effective in improving students' critical, creative, and analytical thinking skills, especially in sound wave materials. This study uses a quantitative method with a quasi-experiment design. The subject of the study was grade XI students of SMA Negeri 1 Kabila which consisted of one experimental class and two replication classes. The research instrument is in the form of pretest and posttest essay questions to measure problem-solving skills. Data analysis was carried out through Liliefors normality test, Alpha Cronbach reliability, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain calculation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in the average pretest and posttest scores in all classes. The normality test states that the data is normally distributed, while the reliability test confirms that the instrument is classified as reliable. The hypothesis test proved that H? was rejected, with an average N-Gain of more than 0.7 which meant a very high increase. Thus, the application of the differentiated PBL model has been proven to have a positive effect on problem-solving skills and encourage students to be more active, involved, motivated, and able to solve contextual problems according to learning styles.

2025-10-15T14:39:57+07:00

This research aims to find out and understand how female village heads are in the vortex of kinship politics in Sungai Pinang Village, Rambutan District, Banyuasin Regency in 2024. This study uses a qualitative methodology with interview, observation, and documentation techniques to collect data. This research uses the theory of familiesties (Jalalzai & Rincker 2018) and the theory of Women and Politics (Joni Lovenduski 2025). The results of this study show that kinship relationships have a significant influence on the process of electing female village heads with family support, social capital, and community solidarity that are still strong in traditional structures in the village. Kinship politics is not only a power strategy but also a means for women to gain legitimacy in leadership in villages that are still patriarchal. This research confirms that kinship politics has a positive and negative impact on village democracy, on the one hand facilitating women's access to be involved in village politics, but can also strengthen the practice of political dynasties that close the space for community participation at large. In conclusion, the head of the female village in Sungai Pinang Village is influenced by the practice of kinship politics (familyties) which has been firmly rooted in the local social and political structure. The suggestion that the researcher can give is an effort to improve the quality of village democracy so that women's representation is not only symbolic but also substantive.

Lower Lateral Femoral Index as a Significant Risk Factor for Non-Contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture: A Case-Control Study

2025-10-21T11:24:34+07:00

Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee ligament injuries, particularly in the athletic population. Anatomical risk factors, such as knee bone morphology, are thought to play a crucial role in injury susceptibility. One parameter under investigation is the Lateral Femoral Index (LFCI), which describes the shape of the lateral femoral condyle. This study aimed to analyze the difference in LFCI in patients with ACL rupture compared to normal individuals as a potential risk factor.

Methods: This study employed an observational analytic design with a case-control approach, conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. The sample consisted of 50 subjects divided into two groups: 25 patients with an arthroscopically confirmed diagnosis of ACL rupture (case group) and 25 healthy individuals with no history of knee injury (control group). The LFCI was measured from true lateral projection knee radiographs. An independent T-test was used for statistical analysis to compare the mean LFCI difference between the two groups.

Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 30.68 ± 5.35 years. The measurements revealed that the mean LFCI in the ACL rupture group was significantly lower (0.68 ± 0.56) compared to the control group (0.74 ± 0.56). This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the Lateral Femoral Index (LFCI) between patients with ACL rupture and normal individuals. A lower LFCI value can be considered an anatomical risk factor for ACL rupture.

Anatomical Characteristics of Notch Width Index and Femoral Notch Shape in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

2025-10-21T11:31:18+07:00

Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is a significant orthopedic problem, particularly among young, active individuals. Anatomical factors, such as a narrow intercondylar notch, are considered intrinsic risks. However, findings on the association between the Notch Width Index (NWI) and femoral notch shape with ACL tears vary across populations. This study aimed to describe these anatomical characteristics in patients diagnosed with ACL injury at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan.

Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted using medical records and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of patients treated between January 2023 and December 2024. A total of 64 patients with confirmed ACL injuries who met the inclusion criteria were included. Data on demographics, mechanism of injury, NWI, and femoral notch shape (classified as Type A, U, or W) were collected and analyzed descriptively.

Results: The majority of patients were male (71.9%), with a mean age of 27.75 ± 8.35 years. The most common occupations were student (35.9%) and private employee (32.8%). The primary mechanism of injury was sports-related activities (64.1%), with the left knee being more commonly affected (64.1%). The mean NWI for the cohort was 0.28 ± 0.032. The most prevalent femoral notch morphologies were Type W (46.9%) and Type U (42.2%), while Type A was the least common (10.9%).

Conclusion: In this cohort, ACL injuries predominantly affect young adult males involved in sports. The average NWI suggests a tendency towards a narrower intercondylar notch. Contrary to some studies, wider notch shapes (Type W and U) were more frequent than the stenotic Type A, indicating potential population-specific anatomical variations.

Customer Protection in Cases of Fintech Lending Default: The Perspective of Indonesian Economic Law

2025-10-22T09:08:43+07:00

The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) has fundamentally transformed national financial systems, particularly through the emergence of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending services that enable individuals to obtain funding quickly and easily without the involvement of traditional financial institutions. This business model not only promotes financial inclusion but also drives the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy. Nevertheless, behind its efficiency and convenience, fintech lending poses substantial legal and economic risks most notably the risk of default, which can cause significant losses for both lenders and borrowers. The occurrence of defaults in fintech lending illustrates an imbalance in the legal standing between platform providers, lenders, and borrowers. Within the framework of Indonesia’s economic law, consumer protection serves as a crucial element in maintaining fairness and trust in digital financial systems. This article aims to examine the forms and effectiveness of legal protection available to consumers in cases of fintech lending default, emphasizing the role and responsibility of the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan OJK) as the supervisory body of the financial services sector. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze the existing regulations and policies, including OJK Regulation No. 10/POJK.05/2022 on Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services. The findings indicate that, although OJK regulations have established a strong legal foundation, the practical implementation of consumer protection remains challenging particularly in areas of supervision, dispute resolution, and public financial literacy regarding digital finance.

Legal Implications of Minimum Education Requirements for DPR Candidates in the Perspective of the 1945 Constitution and Constitutional Court Decisions

2025-10-22T09:16:05+07:00

The establishment of a minimum education requirement for candidates of the House of Representatives (DPR) has become a complex legal issue, sparking debates between the principles of meritocracy and the fulfillment of citizens’ constitutional rights. On one hand, educational qualifications are considered essential to ensure the intellectual capacity, rationality, and legislative competence of parliamentary members in performing their lawmaking and supervisory functions. On the other hand, such provisions may lead to discrimination against citizens who lack access to adequate formal education, thereby restricting their constitutional right to be elected as guaranteed under the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This article aims to thoroughly examine the legal implications of establishing a minimum education requirement for DPR candidates from the perspective of the 1945 Constitution and the Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence. Using a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes the compatibility of educational restrictions with the principles of equality before the law, political rights, and constitutional democracy. The findings reveal that educational qualifications should not be perceived as discriminatory limitations but rather as instruments to ensure competence and integrity within the legislative body as part of a democratic rule-of-law system. Nevertheless, such restrictions must be formulated proportionally, clearly, and in accordance with constitutional objectives so as not to violate the principle of equality before the law or the fundamental right of citizens to participate in governance. Therefore, any regulation regarding educational requirements for DPR candidates must strike a balance between the need for legislative professionalism and the protection of citizens’ constitutional rights.

Analysis of the Protection of Women's Inheritance Rights in the Civil Inheritance Law System

2025-10-22T09:23:45+07:00

The protection of women’s inheritance rights represents a fundamental issue within Indonesia’s civil inheritance law system, which continues to encounter various challenges stemming from patriarchal cultural influences and gender-biased social constructs. Although the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) explicitly affirms that men and women are entitled to equal rights in inheritance matters, practical realities often reveal persistent disparities in wealth distribution. Such inequities frequently arise from societal perceptions that position men as the principal heirs while viewing women as less entitled to family property. This article aims to examine the legal protection afforded to female heirs within the framework of Indonesia’s civil inheritance law and to evaluate the extent to which principles of equality and non-discrimination have been effectively applied in legal practice. Employing a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes statutory regulations, judicial decisions, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that, although civil inheritance law normatively guarantees equal inheritance rights for women and men, gaps remain in its practical implementation. Therefore, strengthening legal protection mechanisms, enhancing gender awareness, and fostering cooperation between law enforcement institutions and women’s advocacy organizations are essential to achieving substantive justice for female heirs in Indonesia.

Cybercrime and Law Enforcement Challenges in the Era of Criminal Law Digitalization

2025-10-22T09:29:49+07:00

The rapid advancement of information technology in the digital era has brought significant convenience to various aspects of human life, yet it has also given rise to new forms of criminal behavior known as cybercrime. This phenomenon encompasses a wide range of unlawful acts such as hacking, data theft, online fraud, and the dissemination of false information, all of which can cause serious social and economic harm. Such developments demand a legal system that can adapt to the dynamic, borderless, and often untraceable nature of cyberspace. This article aims to describe the various types of cybercrimes emerging in Indonesia, analyze the key challenges in law enforcement, and propose strategic measures to strengthen the effectiveness of their handling. The study employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical and descriptive-analytical approach through the examination of relevant literature, legal frameworks, and national research findings. The results indicate that law enforcement against cybercrime in Indonesia faces several obstacles, including regulatory gaps that fail to keep pace with technological progress, limited resources among law enforcement personnel, the complexity of digital evidence, and weak inter-agency and cross-border coordination. Therefore, it is essential to harmonize existing regulations, enhance the technical capacity of law enforcement officers, foster effective international cooperation, and promote public education on digital security to ensure that the national criminal justice system can respond comprehensively and adaptively to the challenges of digitalization.

Juridical Analysis of the Court Decision on the Contentious Marriage Validation Petition Case Number: 1817/Pdt.G/2025/PA.JB

2025-10-22T09:59:16+07:00

The background of this study arises from the fact that unregistered marriages (nikah siri) are still prevalent in Indonesia, making marriage validation petitions an important legal instrument to obtain state recognition. However, in this case, a legal issue arose because the petitioner did not involve Mursani’s previous wives, who are still alive and have children that legally may have interests in the heir’s status and inheritance rights. The research questions in this study are as follows: 1) What are the judge’s juridical considerations in rejecting the marriage validation petition? 2) Have the judge’s considerations complied with the provisions of positive law and the substantive justice principles in Islamic law?. This study employs a normative juridical method using a case approach and a statute approach. Data sources are obtained from court decisions, legislation (Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and Supreme Court Regulations related to family cases), as well as Islamic legal doctrines and literature. The analysis results show that the judge rejected the marriage validation petition because the first and second wives were not involved as respondents, even though they legally have potential interests in the outcome of the ruling. This consideration was based on the principle of audi et alteram partem (the right of every party to be heard), which is a fundamental principle of justice. However, substantively, this rejection creates a problem of legal utility, as it leaves the petitioner’s (third wife’s) marital status and her children’s legal standing unprotected, both administratively and civilly—particularly concerning inheritance and lineage rights. This study concludes that the judge’s decision is formally in accordance with the principles of civil procedural law; however, materially, it does not fully reflect the principles of utility and substantive justice for legally vulnerable parties, particularly for children born from unregistered marriages. A more progressive judicial guideline is needed so that judges can balance formal legal certainty with the protection of the civil rights of children and women in contentious marriage validation (isbat nikah) cases.

Legal Aspects of Informed Consent in Medical Procedures

2025-10-22T10:06:28+07:00

Informed consent is a fundamental component of modern medical practice that emphasizes the importance of a patient’s approval after receiving clear, adequate, and understandable information regarding a medical procedure. This concept reflects not only respect for patient autonomy but also serves as a legal safeguard for healthcare professionals in the performance of their duties. In Indonesia, the regulation of informed consent has undergone notable development. Ministerial regulations, the Medical Code of Ethics, and Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health provide the normative foundation that affirms patients’ rights to obtain sufficient information and to give conscious consent before any medical intervention. This study applies a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The findings reveal that the latest legal framework reinforces documentation obligations and clarifies the standards that must be fulfilled by medical practitioners, including in emergency situations. Nevertheless, practical implementation remains challenged by several factors, such as patients’ limited comprehension, the use of complex medical terminology, time constraints faced by healthcare providers, and the suboptimal practice of written documentation. These challenges create potential legal disputes, both in civil and criminal domains, when medical procedures are carried out without valid consent. Therefore, the effective application of informed consent requires synergy between clear regulations, adequate understanding among medical personnel, and improved health literacy among the public. Consequently, informed consent should not be seen merely as an administrative formality but rather as an essential legal and ethical safeguard that enhances the quality of healthcare services.

Corporate Responsibility for Consumer Losses in Tte Digital Economy Era

2025-10-23T09:26:44+07:00

The development of the digital economy has created a major transformation in the patterns of interaction between businesses and consumers across various sectors, ranging from e-commerce and digital financial services to data-driven platforms. While this transformation provides convenience and efficiency in economic activities, it also presents serious challenges regarding legal protection for consumers. Issues such as data breaches, online fraud, and algorithmic manipulation have emerged as tangible risks resulting from the imbalance of power between digital corporations and users. This article aims to examine the legal responsibility of corporations in the context of the digital economy by employing a normative juridical approach through an analysis of relevant legislation, legal responsibility principles, and case studies on consumer rights violations in online environments. The findings indicate that although Indonesia has several legal instruments such as the Consumer Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law, their implementation still faces significant obstacles in law enforcement and inter-agency coordination. The complexity of cross-border jurisdiction and the weakness of online dispute resolution mechanisms further complicate corporate accountability. Therefore, strengthening regulations, establishing independent supervisory institutions, and increasing consumer legal awareness are necessary to create a balance between technological innovation and the protection of public rights in the rapidly evolving digital economy.

Criminal Law Protection for Demonstrators from Repressive Actions by Authorities

2025-10-23T09:33:30+07:00

Demonstrations represent a tangible form of freedom of expression and opinion, which are fundamental elements of a democratic system. In Indonesia, this right is constitutionally guaranteed and further regulated under Law No. 9 of 1998 concerning the Freedom to Express Opinions in Public. However, in practice, the implementation of this right often clashes with repressive actions by security forces. The excessive use of force, unlawful arrests, and acts of violence against protesters illustrate the weak legal protection afforded to citizens exercising their constitutional rights. Such circumstances raise serious concerns regarding the enforcement of human rights and the rule of law in Indonesia. This article aims to analyze the criminal law protection afforded to demonstrators from repressive actions by law enforcement officers who exceed their authority. The discussion examines the national legal framework, the principles of criminal liability for officers, and mechanisms for fair and proportional law enforcement. The study adopts a normative juridical approach, analyzing statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant case studies. The findings indicate that repressive acts by officers may constitute criminal offenses when they violate the principles of legality and proportionality in the use of force. Furthermore, the state bears a constitutional obligation to provide effective legal protection for citizens who become victims of such abuses of power. Therefore, a stronger system of accountability and oversight is essential to ensure that citizens’ rights to peaceful assembly and expression are genuinely protected within Indonesia’s legal framework.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes of Neglected Posterior Elbow Dislocation Managed with Open Reduction With and Without K-Wire Fixation

2025-10-29T21:28:08+07:00

Neglected posterior elbow dislocation presents a significant surgical challenge due to chronic soft tissue contractures and joint stiffness. Open reduction is the standard treatment, but the benefit of additional K-wire fixation remains uncertain.

This observational analytic study with a case-control design was conducted at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. A total of 50 patients with neglected posterior elbow dislocation treated between January 2020 and December 2024 were included. Patients were divided into two groups: open reduction with K-wire fixation (n = 25) and without fixation (n = 25). Clinical outcomes were assessed using the qDASH score, range of motion (ROM), and joint instability. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests with a significance level of p < 0.05.

There were no significant differences between the two groups in qDASH scores (p = 0.551), ROM (p = 0.529), or joint instability (p = 0.773). Most patients (64%) achieved minimal disability, 72% had normal ROM, and 78% showed no signs of instability postoperatively.

Open reduction of neglected posterior elbow dislocation yields comparable functional outcomes with or without K-wire fixation. The addition of K-wire does not appear to significantly influence disability scores, range of motion, or elbow stability. Surgical success may depend more on soft tissue management and rehabilitation than on internal fixation.

Legal Strength of Deeds Under the Hands of Notaries in Civil Proof

2025-10-29T21:34:19+07:00

A deed is a written evidence that plays an important role in proving civil cases. In practice, deeds are divided into authentic deeds and private deeds. Private deeds that are legalized by a notary often raise questions about their evidentiary power. This study aims to analyze the legal position and evidentiary power of private deeds that have been legalized by a notary in civil disputes. This study uses normative legal research and a normative legal approach with qualitative analysis sourced from primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the study indicate that legalization by a notary does not change a private deed into an authentic deed, but provides reinforcement to the date and signatures of the parties that the date and signatures on the private deed are indeed legalized before a notary. Thus, the deed has higher evidentiary power than ordinary private deeds, but is not equivalent to an authentic deed.

Non – Operative Treatment Outcome of Hematogenous Osteomyelitis of the Femur in Infants: A Case Series

2025-10-29T21:46:07+07:00

Introduction: Osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection involving bone, its marrow, and the adjacent structures. The most common mechanism of infection in children is hematogenous, thus called hematogenous osteomyelitis (HO). There is an absolute requirement of antibiotic therapy. Surgery is considered in some cases. This is a report presenting 2 cases of distal femur HO in infants treated non – operatively with intravenous antibiotic alone. Case Presentation: Case 1: A one month old male infant was admitted due to swollen knee with pus producing sinus on the medial side for the last one month, without any systemic manifestation. Laboratory showed leucocytosis and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Cytology showed granulomatous inflammation. Plain radiograph showed bone destruction with periosteal reaction and MRI showed heterogenic hyperintense lesion with penumbra sign on the distal femur. Intravenous Ampicillin Sulbactam 225 mg/6h and Amikacin 50 mg/24h were given for 7 days were given, continued with oral of Co-Amoxiclav 3 x 2.5 mg/ day for another week. The patient showed marked clinical and laboratory improvement after therapy; Case 2: A three-month old male infant with similar sign and symptoms was admitted, but it was on the right limb. Laboratory showed leucocytosis, increased ESR, and increased C-reactive protein (CRP). Plain radiograph and MRI examinations showed similar results with the first case. Intravenous Ceftriaxone 350 mg/12h for 7 days, continued with Cefadroxil 2 x 150 mg / day for another week was given. The similar clinical and laboratory outcomes with the first were achieved. Discussion: Whether or not surgical intervention is required, the successful treatment of all forms of osteomyelitis requires appropriate antibiotic therapy. Studies have shown that appropriate antibiotic therapy alone without surgical intervention may suffice for 90% of cases of HO. In some cases of complicated HO, surgical incision and drainage (including multiple procedures) may be indicated. Conclusion: HO in infant patients may be adequately treated by antibiotic alone with satisfactory result. Drug of choice, course of administration, and duration of treatment are important factors. Nevertheless, surgery should also be considered in a failed conservative treatment.

Feasibility Analysis of Egg-Laying Chicken Business Performance in Donggala Regency (Case Study of CV. Taufik Nur)

2025-10-29T22:02:17+07:00

This study aims to determine the financing analysis and feasibility of the performance of a laying hen farm in Donggala Regency. This research is a case study on the laying hen farm business of CV. Taufik Nur located in Donggala Regency. The determination of the research location was done intentionally (purposive), with the consideration that CV. Taufik Nur is one of the laying hen farm businesses that has been running its business for quite a long time in Donggala Regency. Primary data collection was obtained through observation and interviews with the management of CV Taufik Nur, while secondary data was obtained from related agencies and literature relevant to the purpose of this study. The results of the study indicate that the company has a fairly high liquidity ratio, above the industry average standard. The results of the average Leverage ratio calculation are very small compared to the amount of working capital owned, in other words, the amount of company debt provides a small contribution to the value of the company's equity. The Activity ratio value obtained from the turnover of raw materials is quite smooth where the company uses layer chickens for 1.5 years to 2.5 years before being culled. The profitability ratio analysis shows that the company's condition is generally good, as evidenced by the Gross Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin ratios, which are above the industry average. Furthermore, the operating expenses ratio is generally low, at below 35%. However, the ROI ratio obtained shows that the return on investment is below the industry average of 30%.

The Validity of Electronic Agreements in the Perspective of Indonesian Civil Law

2025-10-29T22:09:18+07:00

The development of information and communication technology has given rise to various new forms of legal relationships in society, one of which is electronic contracts. In classical civil law, agreements are always associated with written forms and physical signatures. However, the digital era demands a reinterpretation of civil law principles to maintain their relevance. This study aims to analyze the validity of electronic agreements from the perspective of Indonesian civil law, by examining the relationship between the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE). The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results indicate that electronic agreements have the same legal validity as written agreements as long as they meet the requirements for a valid agreement as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code and the provisions for valid electronic documents as stipulated in Article 5 of the UU ITE. However, challenges remain in terms of evidence and legal protection for parties in electronic transactions.

Event Study of the Indonesian Presidential Election on the Capital Market in Indonesia

2025-10-29T22:22:58+07:00

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the 2024 Presidential Election of the Republic of Indonesia on the capital market, specifically on companies listed in the LQ45 index. Utilizing an event study approach, this research measures changes in Abnormal Return (ART), Trading Volume Activity (TVA), and Bid-Ask Spread (BAS) before and after the election. The analysis results indicate no significant difference in ART, suggesting that the Indonesian capital market tends to be efficient in absorbing political information related to the presidential election. Investors seem to have already anticipated various political scenarios, minimizing the volatility of abnormal returns. On the other hand, there is a significant difference in TVA, indicating changes in investor trading behavior, such as portfolio repositioning and an increase in speculative activity. However, there is no significant difference in BAS, reflecting the stability of liquidity and market efficiency despite the occurrence of a major political event. Overall, the findings of this study reflect the maturity of the Indonesian capital market and provide insights for investors and regulators on how the market reacts to political dynamics, as well as the relevance of market efficiency in an emerging economic environment.
