Abstract

The 2026 reform of Indonesia's senior high school student admission system marked a transition from the zoning mechanism to a domicile-based approach intended to enhance transparency, fairness, and equitable access to public education. As the province with the largest secondary school population in Indonesia, West Java provides an important setting for examining how this policy is implemented in practice. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the 2026 Senior High School Student Admission Policy in West Java, identify the institutional challenges and adaptive responses that emerged during implementation, and explore its implications for educational equity. This study employed a qualitative multiple case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with education officials, school principals, admission committee members, parents, and students, supported by observations and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while Edward III's policy implementation framework and the educational equity perspective guided the analysis. The findings reveal that the policy implementation has strengthened transparency and expanded access through multiple admission pathways. However, several challenges persist, including uneven public understanding of domicile provisions, disparities in digital infrastructure and administrative capacity, and persistent perceptions regarding differences in school quality. Although the transition to domicile-based admissions has improved perceptions of procedural fairness and widened opportunities for disadvantaged students through affirmative pathways, structural inequalities among public schools continue to hinder the achievement of substantive educational equity. This study contributes to the literature by providing one of the earliest empirical analyses of Indonesia's 2026 student admission reform and demonstrating how policy implementation processes shape educational equity outcomes within a decentralized education system.

Abstract

This study addressed the need to transform conventional gastronomy tourism into an educational medium for environmental resilience. The research aimed to explore how gastronomy tourism in the Cireundeu Indigenous Village internalized local food security values for tourists through a somatic, auditory, visual, and intellectual learning approach. Utilizing a qualitative method with an interactive data analysis framework, the study collected data through participant observation and in-depth interviews. Informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, involving the traditional leader, community figures, and women’s group representatives. The results demonstrated that the indigenous community's philosophy regarding the historical transition from rice to cassava was successfully transformed into a holistic educational experience. The research mapped thirteen cultural expressions into four learning dimensions. Tourists experienced physical involvement through cassava processing, absorbed historical narratives, observed traditional rituals, and constructed an understanding of food sovereignty. In conclusion, the somatic, auditory, visual, and intellectual approach effectively deepened tourists' understanding of food diversification and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of social life, including indigenous communities. Digitalization provides easier access to information and communication; however, it simultaneously poses challenges to the sustainability of traditional values, cultural practices, and long-established patterns of social interaction. This article aims to analyze how the indigenous community of Kampung Naga maintains its traditions and social interactions amid the increasingly strong wave of digitalization, particularly in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, religious leaders, youth representatives, and local community members of Kampung Naga, as well as supported by documentation studies. The data were analyzed interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Kampung Naga community does not entirely reject digitalization; instead, they implement a strategy of selective adaptation. Digital technology is utilized in a limited manner for specific purposes, such as communication and education, without disrupting customary structures and traditional values. Traditions, mutual cooperation, and adherence to ancestral values remain the primary foundations in maintaining social integration. These findings reinforce Talcott Parsons’ structural functionalism perspective, particularly the AGIL scheme, which emphasizes that a social system can survive by adapting to change without losing its value integration.

Abstract

The magnitude of household consumption and government expenditure does not guarantee accelerated economic growth without being supported by sound institutional quality, particularly corruption control, which remains a major challenge in Indonesia's governance. This study aims to analyze the moderating role of institutional quality in the effect of household consumption and government expenditure on economic growth in Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative explanatory approach using time series data for the period 2006–2025, obtained from the official World Bank website. The analysis techniques used are multiple regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that household consumption (β = 3.489; sig = 0.017) and government expenditure (β = 1.379; sig = 0.015) have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Institutional quality is able to moderate and strengthen the effect of household consumption (β = 9.100; sig = 0.018) and government expenditure (β = 1.890; sig = 0.013) on economic growth, with an R² of 0.842. These findings confirm that corruption control and improved governance are key to optimizing the effectiveness of fiscal policy and domestic consumption on sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in geriatric patients imposes risk due to carbon dioxide (CO2), especially in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. This report presents a 87 years old female with body mass index (BMI) of 17.09 kg/m² undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to gallbladder empyema. Patient had history of biliary sepsis, cardiomegaly, atelectasis of left lung apex, and chronic kidney disease. Severe inflammation of gallbladder necessitated higher pneumoperitoneum pressure up to 17 mmHg to facilitate visibility. The elevated intra-abdominal pressure combined with poor tissue turgor triggered extensive subcutaneous emphysema and massive hypercarbia, indicated by a surge in End-Tidal CO₂ (ETCO₂) reaching >70 mmHg, whereas arterial blood gas analysis revealed a PaCO₂ of 45 mmHg. This gradient anomaly occurred without an accompanying tachycardic response or oxygen desaturation. Temporary cessation of insufflation successfully stabilized the patient clinically. This case highlights the importance of vigilance regarding weak fascial turgor in underweight geriatric patients subjected to high intra-abdominal pressure, the impairment of CO₂ elimination due to atelectasis, and the crucial role of implementing multimodal analgesia with regional anesthesia techniques to prevent postoperative hypoventilation caused by opioid administration.

Abstract

Wildlife trafficking has evolved beyond a biodiversity conservation issue and increasingly represents a form of transnational maritime crime that threatens national security, environmental sustainability, and governance. As the world's largest archipelagic state and one of the world's megabiodiversity countries, Indonesia faces significant vulnerabilities to wildlife trafficking networks operating through maritime routes and digital platforms. This study aims to formulate strategic policy options for strengthening Indonesia's maritime security response to wildlife trafficking from a non-traditional security perspective. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using literature review, document analysis, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis, expert judgment validation, and Suitable, Feasible, Acceptable, and Desirable (SFAD) evaluation. The findings indicate that Indonesia possesses significant strengths, including a comprehensive legal framework, specialized institutions, and international cooperation mechanisms. However, institutional fragmentation, limited intelligence integration, and uneven enforcement capacity remain major challenges. The SFAD assessment identifies the establishment of a National Wildlife Crime Intelligence Fusion Center and an Integrated Maritime Wildlife Enforcement Task Force as the highest-priority strategic options. Based on these findings, this study proposes an Integrated Maritime Wildlife Security Strategy (IMWSS) comprising five pillars: intelligence integration, integrated maritime enforcement, technology-based digital surveillance, financial investigation and asset recovery, and regional cooperation. The study concludes that wildlife trafficking should be addressed as a maritime security issue rather than solely a conservation concern and provides a practical framework for strengthening Indonesia's response to transnational wildlife trafficking.

Abstract

Climate change and accelerating deforestation have intensified the need for regional cooperation to address forest-related environmental challenges in Southeast Asia. As one of the world's most forest-rich regions, Southeast Asia has witnessed the development of various regional initiatives and policy frameworks that seek to strengthen cooperation on forest conservation and climate change mitigation. Limited attention has been given to the role of the ASEAN Way as a normative foundation that shapes the development of regional forest climate policies. This study aims to explain how the principles of the ASEAN Way influence regional environmental cooperation in the formulation of forest climate policies in Southeast Asia. Employing a qualitative research design, the study uses document analysis of ASEAN declarations, regional agreements, strategic plans, policy frameworks, and relevant academic literature. The ASEAN Way guides the analysis as an informal regional institution characterized by consensus, consultation, non-interference, respect for sovereignty, and informality. The findings suggest that these principles have significantly influenced the development of regional environmental cooperation by promoting consensus-based decision-making, voluntary commitments, and flexible institutional arrangements in the formulation of forest climate policies. This article contributes to the International Relations literature by demonstrating how regional norms shape environmental cooperation and influence regional policy development, thereby providing a normative and institutional explanation for the emergence and characteristics of forest climate policies in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Women's representation in regional legislatures remains a strategic issue in strengthening democratic quality and political inclusion in Indonesia. Although affirmative action policies have been implemented, disparities in women's representation across provinces indicate that political party structures play an important role in determining electoral outcomes. This study aims to examine the influence of political party structures on women's representation in the Provincial Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), using evidence from all 34 provinces in Indonesia, with particular attention to the implications for the Provincial DPRD of Central Java. The study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data from the 2024 legislative election and official government statistics. Multiple linear regression analysis is used to assess the effect of the electoral strength of major political parties while controlling for the Human Development Index (HDI), Female Life Expectancy (FLE), and the proportion of women employed as civil servants. The findings reveal that political party structure significantly affects women's representation in provincial legislatures. Among the major parties, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Golkar, the National Awakening Party (PKB), and the National Democratic Party (NasDem) show positive associations with higher levels of women's representation. In contrast, Gerindra, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the Democratic Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN), and the United Development Party (PPP) exhibit negative associations. Furthermore, the control variables, HDI, Female Life Expectancy, and the proportion of female civil servants, also contribute significantly to explaining provincial variations in women's legislative representation. These findings suggest that strengthening women's political representation requires not only affirmative policies but also more gender-inclusive party recruitment, nomination, and organizational practices. The study provides empirical evidence for improving political party institutional design to advance substantive gender equality in Indonesia's regional democratic governance.

Abstract

Writing is one of the fundamental language skills in English language learning, particularly for junior high school students, because it enables learners to express ideas, organize information, and produce various types of texts such as narrative, descriptive, recount, report, analytical exposition, hortatory exposition, and news item texts. In learning narrative texts, many students experience difficulties in understanding story structures, developing vocabulary, organizing ideas coherently, and maintaining motivation during classroom activities. Therefore, the integration of engaging instructional media, such as pictures series and videos, has become increasingly important to facilitate students' comprehension and participation in English learning. This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of using pictures series and video in learning the narrative text Beauty and the Beast. Specifically, it explores students' views regarding the effectiveness of these media in improving vocabulary acquisition, story comprehension, motivation, classroom engagement, idea organization, and the ability to retell narrative texts. This study employed a quantitative questionnaire-based survey design involving 51 eighth-grade students from classes 8A and 8D at SMP Al Furqan Jember. The participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through 12-item Questionnaire Based Survey using a four-point Likert scale consisting of Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and standard deviations, to describe students' overall perceptions toward the implementation of pictures series and video in English learning. The findings revealed that most students demonstrated positive perceptions toward the use of pictures series and video. They reported that these instructional media helped them learn new vocabulary, understand the storyline more clearly, organize ideas systematically, remain focused during lessons, participate more actively in classroom activities, and enjoy learning English. Furthermore, students perceived that the combination of visual and audiovisual media created a more meaningful and engaging learning environment, which supported their understanding of narrative texts and encouraged greater confidence in retelling stories. These findings suggest that integrating pictures series and video can serve as an effective instructional strategy to enhance students' learning experiences and foster positive attitudes toward English language learning, particularly in narrative text instruction.

Abstract

Geopolymer concrete is an environmentally friendly alternative to Portland cement concrete by utilizing industrial and agricultural waste. This study aimed to investigate the effect of banana sheath fiber on the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete containing 95% fly ash and 5% rice husk ash (RHA), activated with 12 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and a sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide (Na₂SiO₃/NaOH) ratio of 2.0. An experimental laboratory method was conducted using 15 × 15 × 15 cm cube specimens with banana sheath fiber contents of 0%, 0.1%, and 0.2%. Compressive strength tests were performed at curing ages of 7, 14, and 28 days using a Compression Testing Machine (CTM) in accordance with SNI 1974:2011. The control mixture without fiber achieved the highest compressive strength of 33.9 MPa at 28 days and was the only mixture that met the target strength of 30 MPa. Mixtures containing 0.1% and 0.2% fiber achieved maximum strengths of 25.5 MPa and 28.5 MPa, respectively. Although fiber addition did not improve compressive strength, it reduced surface cracking after testing, indicating its potential to enhance the performance of geopolymer concrete for rigid pavement applications.
