This article illustrates how the authors transformed Ã¢â‚¬Å“research in the classroomÃ¢â‚¬Â into chemistry courses at a two-year college in the form of short course-based research experience. The students worked in groups to research nanomaterials, came up with a series of carbon nanoparticles precursors from waste materials, and developed simple and cost-effective methods to produce carbon nanoparticles. Not surprisingly, students became more active learners as they were in charge of learning, and were given authority to modify lab activities with their learning experience progressing. A deeper approach to learning helped students better appreciate chemical sciences, increase conceptual learning, and become responsible citizens. The project also provided a platform to discuss sustainability, green chemistry, and nanomaterials. To increase the efforts for student success, academic technologies were utilized to aid the project.

Consumers who post negative reviews of products on social media often face defamation claims by business entities. Such lawsuits have had a chilling effect on the right to freedom of expression, which is protected by law. In adjudicating consumer cases, judges have generally failed to apply the concept of common interest as a consideration, despite the potential benefits and awareness such reviews provide to prospective consumers. The common interest concept, as stipulated in defamation laws, can serve as a form of legal protection for consumers who post reviews on social media, provided the reviews are truthful, reflect actual conditions, and are made in good faith. By implementing the common interest concept and conducting its proper assessment, legal protection can be ensured for both consumers and businesses. Consumers would be shielded from unwarranted defamation claims, while businesses would be protected from malicious reviews by bad-faith consumers that result in financial or reputational harm. This study aims to dissect the legal safeguard afforded to consumers through the prism of common interest when confronting social media-based complaints or reviews ensnared in defamation litigations instigated by corporate entities. Employing a normative juridical methodology, the research amalgamates legislative analysis with conceptual frameworks. The research findings accentuate the significance of invoking the public interest doctrine in consumer-related litigation, thereby fortifying legal defenses against defamation allegations.

Abstract: Concerns emerge from the potential implementation of an open proportional system, where parliamentary candidates may wield more influence than the political parties endorsing them. This situation undoubtedly poses a risk of undermining the institutional strength of political parties. Purpose: The primary objective of this paper is to examine and compare the implementation of general elections, focusing on the election mechanisms employed in both open and closed proportional systems. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology employed in this paper is a legal research method, specifically the normative legal research type. The approach adopted includes both a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The legal materials utilized encompass primary and secondary legal sources. Findings: The study findings indicate that the use of general elections with an open proportional system is incongruent with the mission and vision of political parties. In this system, the priority is often placed on candidates' popularity rather than their adherence to party ideology, political experience, and organizational skills. Consequently, candidates exert a disproportionate influence on the party's direction, diminishing the party's role as a robust institution. Therefore, the reinstatement of a closed proportional system in Indonesia is deemed essential. This system ensures that elected candidates align with the party's ideology, reinforcing the party's institutional strength. In advocating for a closed proportional system, the study underscores its cost-effectiveness. This system minimizes the likelihood of candidates engaging in fraudulent activities, as financial incentives to election organizers are reduced. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of voters being well-informed about a political party's proposed path of progress to make informed decisions during elections. Originality/value: There has been no prior research examining the open proportional system from the perspective of political party institutions. This study is considered pioneering as researchers advocate for the adoption of a closed proportional system to fortify political party institutions, emphasizing the perceived degradation of these institutions. The argument presented suggests that the strength of political parties has diminished, with individual candidates wielding more influence. In contrast to the prevailing trend, the researchers endorse a closed proportional system, positing that the strength of political parties should be the determining factor rather than relying on the strength of individual candidates.
