Abstract

The study aims to examine issues and focus research related to post-COVID-19 pandemic social work practices using bibliometric analysis. Data was collected from the Scopus database with the keywords "social work practice" OR "Social work service" AND "Post Covid-19". Article documents were tracked through the Scopus database by year range criteria between 2022 and July 2024, subject area social sciences and psychology, document type article, and language English, and then obtained a total of 139 articles. Further analysis was carried out of 139 scientific publications using VOSviewer software to identify topic trends, collaborations, and research developments. The results showed that the study of social work practice in the post-pandemic COVID-19 era can be grouped into two major theme nodes, namely the social work theme node and the COVID-19 theme node. The social work practice theme node consists of sub-themes: social care, advocacy, disability, rights, inclusion, social care, coronavirus, anxiety, resilience, academics, child welfare, service, infection, control measures, and child protection. The research also revealed the emergence of new themes such as the use of digital technology and the development of adaptive social work intervention models in the post-pandemic era. These findings can be a benchmark for academics, practitioners, and stakeholders in developing research agendas and social work practices relevant to the needs of the post-COVID-19 pandemic community. Future recommendations are considered necessary to conduct a study of social work practice that focuses on sub-sub-themes such as anxiety, resilience, child welfare, social services, and social work practices related to child protection.

Abstract

This study explores the use of digital simulation projects as learning practice spaces to strengthen interpersonal communication competencies in the context of lobbying, presentations, and negotiations. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with reflexive thematic analysis to understand students' experiences during the implementation of simulation-based Project-Based Learning. Data were obtained through participant observation, documentation of communication performance, and in-depth interviews. The results showed that digital simulations encouraged improved message articulation, argumentation structure, and persuasion strategies in complex communication situations. The collaborative process also facilitated self-disclosure, emotional regulation, and the formation of interpersonal trust. Significant transformations were observed in verbal and nonverbal communication, reflecting the development of students' professional communicative identities. These findings confirm that digital simulations can function as communication laboratories that support reflective and adaptive learning in the digital era.

Abstract

The multi-dimensional nature of the digital economy is such that there is a need to develop new methodologies to overcome the limitations of existing methods of measuring regional digital economy performance beyond composite indicators. The existing methods of benchmarking, which are based on compensatory aggregation, may mask structural problems in key governance areas. The research aims to develop an integrated multi-criteria decision support system to evaluate regional digital economy performance by applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the geometric mean method for determining the weight of each criterion and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking. The quantitative approach to multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) has been used to develop the decision support system. The results of the research indicate that the digital economy’s cybersecurity and digital trust are the most influential factors in determining digital economy performance. The results of the TOPSIS analysis indicate that there is a clear stratification of digital economy performance across regions, with the best-performing regions having well-developed digital infrastructure, human capital readiness, and cybersecurity. The results of the sensitivity analysis indicate that the ranking of digital economy performance is robust across all scenarios. The research contributes to theory by providing a new approach to measuring digital economy performance. The research contributes to the practical applications of digital economy research by providing an integrated approach to decision support. The research contributes to the methodological approach to multi-criteria decision-making by providing an integrated approach to decision support. The research contributes to the practical applications of digital economy research by providing an integrated approach to decision support.

Abstract

The shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is frequently viewed as a progression towards sustainability. However, in mining-proximate regions like Central Halmahera, this process engenders intricate socioeconomic challenges. This study examines the effects of the energy shift on local populations, emphasizing power dynamics, legislation, and the socio-ecological ramifications of nickel mining businesses. This research uses a development sociology framework to examine how the exploitation of resources for global green energy can intensify social inequities and marginalize indigenous populations and disadvantaged groups. The study utilizes a qualitative methodology involving case studies from various communities adjacent to mining activities, specifically Lelilef, Gemaf, and Sagea. Active observation, comprehensive interviews, and examination of policy papers and scholarly reports gathered data. The findings demonstrate that the mining industry has caused substantial alterations in the socioeconomic framework of local populations, encompassing changes in livelihoods, heightened labor migration, and the onset of social disputes over resource rivalry. Ecological consequences, including deforestation and water contamination, have exacerbated the living conditions of local inhabitants. This study emphasizes the disparity between the global green energy initiative and the socio-ecological conditions at the local level. The energy shift propelled by extractive industries in Central Halmahera does not help local communities; instead, it intensifies economic reliance on international businesses and amplifies social disparities. Consequently, it is imperative to implement more inclusive policies that address the requirements of local communities to guarantee a just and sustainable energy transition.

Abstract

The transfer of ownership of a property still under lease often gives rise to disputes between the tenant and the new buyer. The main issue lies in the legal status of the lease agreement after the leased object is transferred and the extent of legal protection provided to the tenant. This article aims to analyze the legal status of the lease agreement after the transfer of ownership and examine the judge's considerations in Decision Number 1127/Pdt.G/2022/PN.Dps. This research is a normative juridical study with a statutory and conceptual approach. The primary legal materials are the Civil Code and court decisions, while the secondary legal materials come from relevant journals and legal literature as stated in the research manuscript. The results of the study indicate that based on Article 1576 of the Civil Code, the sale of a leased object does not terminate a previously established lease relationship, unless otherwise agreed. The Panel of Judges declared Lease Agreement No. 01 dated January 3, 2018, valid and binding and provided legal protection in the form of fulfillment of the agreement. This decision reflects the application of the principles of pacta sunt servanda, the principle of good faith, and the theory of preventive and repressive legal protection. Normatively and theoretically, protection for tenants is a manifestation of legal certainty, justice, and benefit in the practice of property agreements in Indonesia.

Abstract

Digital payment methods have changed and prospects for financial inclusion have increased due to the quick advancement of financial technology. However, obstacles like high transaction costs, inadequate financial infrastructure, and dependence on centralized middlemen continue to plague many emerging nations. Blockchain technology provides a secure, decentralized payment system that can increase transaction accessibility and efficiency. This study uses a computational economic approach to investigate how blockchain-enabled digital payment systems affect financial inclusion. The study uses machine learning models, such as Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machine, and Neural Networks, to examine the connection between financial inclusion metrics, digital payment efficiency, and blockchain adoption. The findings demonstrate that blockchain-based payment systems greatly enhance transaction efficiency, lower transaction costs, and boost the use of digital payments. Higher levels of financial inclusion and accessibility are a result of these advancements. The results show how crucial blockchain infrastructure is to fostering inclusive digital financial ecosystems and offer policy recommendations for developing nations looking to improve their digital financial inclusion initiatives.

Abstract

The Badung Regency has emerged as Bali's preeminent tourism hub, experiencing a substantial surge in visitorship following the pandemic. This has boosted the regional economy, but also led to overtourism, which threatens public peace and order in tourist destinations. The Badung Regency government set up a tourism police force to enforce local regulations and maintain security and order in tourist areas. The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the performance of the Tourism-Specific Municipal Police of Badung Regency in enforcing public peace and order in tourist destinations. The objective of the present study is to identify the factors that affect police performance. The study will offer solutions to existing obstacles. The present research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The data presented herein were collected through a combination of in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies. The informants were municipal police officers, relevant stakeholders, community members, and tourism business actors in tourist destinations. The analysis used an interactive model for data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the performance of the Badung Regency's Tourism-Specific Municipal Police in maintaining public order in tourist destinations has not yet been fully effective. The condition is primarily influenced by human resource, facility, and infrastructure limitations, as well as insufficient foreign language skills. Nevertheless, a number of factors were identified that provided support for this hypothesis, including a clear regulatory framework, strong policy support from the local government, and cross-sectoral coordination. The study says that to improve security and order in tourist destinations in Badung Regency, more officers are needed.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of biology instruction integrating climate change issues in enhancing preservice biology teachers' climate literacy and systems thinking. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The sample comprised 60 preservice biology teachers assigned to an experimental class and a control class, with 30 participants in each group. The experimental class received biology instruction integrated with climate change issues, whereas the control class received conventional instruction. Data were collected through a climate literacy test and a systems thinking test and analyzed using descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), and follow up univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results reveal a significant difference between the two groups in the combined posttest scores of climate literacy and systems thinking after controlling for pretest scores, indicated by Wilks' Lambda = 0.302, F(2, 55) = 63.48 p < 0.001 Follow up analyses showed significant effects on climate literacy, F(1, 57) = 84.3 p < 0.001 , partial ?² = 0.597 and systems thinking, F(1, 57) = 56.23 p < 0.001 partial ?² = 0.497 The findings confirm that integrating climate change issues into biology instruction effectively strengthens preservice biology teachers' climate literacy and systems thinking.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of the processes and dynamics of democratic regression, illiberal peacebuilding and path dependence in the?context of the Guyana-Venezuela territorial dispute for the Essequibo region. It was based on colonial era resentment, and has been worsened by the oil discovery - it speaks?to different but equally implacable forms of conflict resolution. Venezuela uses nationalist mobilization and autocratic means for domestic hegemony, while its partner Guyana resorts to technocratic legalism?in the form of international adjudication, all too often avoiding broad-based public participation. The analysis employs a qualitative comparative-historical analysis (CHA) within an HI approach to demonstrate how path?dependent institutional behavior influences state response to geopolitical disputes. The study makes comparisons to other international disputes, including Russia's forcible annexation of Crimea and China's construction works?in the South China Sea, with a view to illustrating how territorial conflicts can be exploited by illiberal regimes. The evidence indicates that procedural?democracy without participation and overt authoritarianism support the erosion of democratic governance. The article argues in favour of transparent, inclusive and?participatory peace-building approaches with regional organizations and impartial mediators. It maintains?that a sustainable solution to conflict must harmonize legal structures and democratic values when dealing with territorial disputes and domestic challenges to regime legitimacy in the Latin American context.

Abstract

The Job Loss Guarantee Program (JKP) is a social protection instrument for workers who experience termination of employment. However, the regulation of the 6-month expiry period for JKP benefit claims as stipulated in Government Regulation Number 6 of 2025 raises issues of justice, especially for workers facing industrial relations disputes or limited administrative access. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the concept of normalizing the expiry period for Job Loss Guarantee Program (JKP) claims in Indonesian laws and regulations is based on the principles of justice theory. This research method uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that the regulation of the expiry period for JKP claims emphasizes administrative legal certainty but does not fully reflect distributive justice for workers as the most disadvantaged group. Therefore, a more proportional and equitable reformulation of the JKP claim expiry period norm is needed to guarantee the protection of workers' constitutional rights.
