Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the relationship between coffee consumption and cardiovascular risk by using literature review approach. The findings reveal that moderate coffee consumption has been associated with various cardiovascular benefits, including reduced mortality and improved metabolic health, particularly among individuals with healthy lifestyles and without pre-existing conditions such as hypertension or metabolic syn-drome. Bioactive compounds in coffee, including caffeine, phenolic acids, and antioxidants, contribute to these benefits by reducing inflammation, enhancing vascular function, and improving insulin sensitivity. However, excessive coffee consumption can have adverse cardiovascular effects, such as elevated blood pressure and increased risk of arrhythmias, especially in individuals with hypertension or genetic predispositions to caffeine sensitivity. Genetic factors, such as variations in the CYP1A2 gene affecting caffeine metabolism, further modulate individual responses to coffee. This highlights the need for personalized recommendations that consider genetics, health status, and consumption patterns to optimize coffee’s cardiovascular benefits. Additionally, understanding the timing of coffee intake in relation to individual metabolic rhythms may further enhance its health-promoting potential.

Abstract

This study analyzes the legal protection for building construction service providers amid corruption in state infrastructure projects. It highlights the significant issue of budget misuse in corruption cases, as reported by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) in 2022. A major obstacle is the inadequacy of Law Number 2 of 2017, which fails to sufficiently protect construction service providers who primarily act as implementers without control over the budget. Additionally, the law removes criminal penalties for failure to complete projects, causing legal uncertainty and violating the principle of justice in the 1945 Constitution. Using a sociological juridical approach, the findings suggest a need to revise regulations to clearly separate the responsibilities of construction providers and budget authorities. For Indonesia to strengthen its legal system based on Pancasila and justice, the research calls for regulatory reforms to protect construction service providers from legal exploitation and ensure a more coherent national legal framework.

Abstract

The legal consequence of this decision was that the Constitutional Court granted the lawmakers a two-year period to amend the Job Creation Law, following a process that adheres to a clear, standardized, and established method for creating omnibus laws. The Constitutional Court's Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 was subsequently followed by the government issuing Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 2 of 2022 on Job Creation, which contains similar content to the Job Creation Law. This has sparked controversy within the public. Therefore, the issue that will be further examined in this research is how the creation of the Job Creation Government Regulation In lieu of Law complies with the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020, which declared the law conditionally unconstitutional, and how the harmonization between the Job Creation Government Regulation In lieu of Law and the legal reasoning in the Constitutional Court's decision is achieved. The research method used in this study is a normative juridical approach, which emphasizes library research. This study is descriptive-analytical, with the research stages focusing on secondary data analysis. Data collection techniques include library research and field research through interviews with relevant parties. The results of the study show that the lawmakers did not comply with the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020, as they did not amend the Job Creation Law as required by the decision. Instead, they chose to issue the Job Creation Government Regulation In lieu of Law. Regarding the harmonization between the Job Creation Government Regulation In lieu of Law and the legal reasoning in the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020, a lack of harmonization between the two was found.

Abstract

In the modern digital era, achieving financial inclusion remains a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas of Indonesia, where access to financial services is still limited. With only 70.13% of the rural population financially included, a substantial portion of individuals continue to rely on the informal financial sector, which often fails to meet their financial needs effectively. In response to these challenges, digital payment technology has emerged as a viable solution to bridge the gap in financial access. This study investigates the impact of digital payments on financial inclusion in rural East Java, employing a quantitative survey approach through questionnaires administered to digital payment users. The findings reveal that the adoption of e-wallets and QR payments significantly enhances community access to financial products and services. These results offer valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in formulating more effective strategies to improve financial inclusion in rural areas, thereby fostering economic growth and enhancing the overall well-being of communities.

Abstract

The performance of banking credit in the consumer sector, particularly in property loans, has shown significant improvement in line with the post-pandemic economic recovery. This growth fosters optimism for the consumer business, as reflected by the rising demand for both commercial and FLPP housing each year. The increasing trend in property demand highlights the sector's sustainable growth potential, bolstered by government policies such as tax incentives for property purchases and FLPP housing development programs. Consequently, the opportunity for consumer credit expansion in the Regional Office area is substantial. Additionally, consumer credit significantly enhances the Yogyakarta Regional Office’s performance, given its relatively low non-performing loan (NPL) risk. However, challenges remain in consumer loan marketing, with the KPR achievement rate at 93.01% still below optimal levels. Similarly, as of October 2024, key metrics such as Special Attention Debtors (DPK) and NPL have yet to meet the current year’s RKAP targets. This study aims to examine the impact of transformational leadership on employee performance, focusing on Relationship Managers (RMs) and RM KPP within the Yogyakarta Regional Office. It explores how transformational leadership values—such as inspirational motivation, personal development, and empowerment—affect RMs’ productivity and efficiency in meeting consumer business performance goals. A mixed-methods approach combining surveys and interviews is utilized to gather data from KPP RMs in the Yogyakarta Regional Office, using instruments that assess perceptions of leadership style and its correlation with performance. The findings are expected to offer practical insights for designing leadership training programs to enhance team performance by implementing transformational leadership principles. Furthermore, the study aims to provide recommendations for the banking industry on developing effective leadership strategies to boost consumer credit growth and overall productivity in the Yogyakarta Regional Office.

Abstract

Article 43 paragraph (3) of Law Number 12 of 2021 requires that every Draft Bill (Rancangan Undang-Undang/RUU) submitted by the President, the People's Representative Council, or the Regional Representative Council must include an Academic Manuscript. This document contains a scientifically proven legal study outlining the necessity of regulating a problem and its resolution in the Draft Bill. The Academic Manuscript serves as a key reference during the legislative planning process. This study explores the role of the Academic Manuscript in law formation and analyzes the RUU on Amendments to Law Number 5 of 2014, focusing on its alignment with the Academic Manuscript. Using legal and empirical approaches, the research evaluates the application of norms under the Law on the Legislation Drafting, which mandates an Academic Manuscript for drafting laws. Law Number 20 of 2023 accommodates strategic issues highlighted in the Academic Manuscript. However, during the discussion process, the RUU underwent significant changes, with over 50% of its substance added. Despite these additions, the Academic Manuscript remained unchanged. Ultimately, the RUU led to the repeal of Law Number 5 of 2014 and its replacement with Law Number 20 of 2023, which redefines the regulations concerning the State Civil Apparatus.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology and shifts in consumer behavior have driven the banking industry, including Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), to adapt by enhancing the capabilities of its human resources (HR). In this context, it is crucial to develop an effective education and training framework for BRI employees, particularly RM Briguna, to remain competitive in the digital era. This study focuses on assessing the education and training requirements of RM Briguna employees in the digital age and creating a tailored model that meets the specific needs of workers, especially those in western Indonesia. Using a qualitative methodology, the research incorporates a literature review analyzing various training models utilized in the banking sector and examines best practices in HR development. The findings highlight that effective training approaches include competency-based programs, on-the-job training, e-learning, blended learning, and gamification. Each model presents distinct benefits and limitations, which must be carefully evaluated during the design process. An analysis of existing training initiatives reveals a need for updates in curricula and methods to align with industry demands and emerging technological trends. The ideal education and training framework should prioritize flexibility, innovation, and alignment with employees' unique needs. Strategic investment in HR development and collaboration with educational institutions will play a vital role in equipping BRI to tackle digital-era challenges. By implementing an optimized training model, BRI can cultivate a skilled and adaptable workforce—particularly RM Briguna in western Indonesia—capable of driving the company’s growth and success.

Abstract

Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) is a bilateral economic cooperation between Indonesia and Japan that aims to create fair, balanced, and measurable benefits for both countries. This study aims to identify factors that hinder the sustainability and effectiveness of IJEPA implementation. The method used is a qualitative approach with data search via the internet and literature study as the main method of information collection. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of IJEPA has not fully provided optimal benefits for Indonesia. One of the main problems found is that Indonesia has not been able to create a competitive advantage in its industrial sector, which has caused it to lag behind Japan. High dependence on imported raw materials and suboptimal existing production factors are the main obstacles. In addition, the presence of many foreign companies operating in Indonesia also worsens the competitiveness of the domestic industry. Thus, policies and strategic steps are needed that can strengthen Indonesia's competitiveness so that IJEPA can provide greater benefits and support the development of the national industry in a more sustainable manner.

Abstract

Abstract The European Union (EU) has filed a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over Indonesia's down streaming policy in the mining industry. Indonesia's policy aims to add value to natural resources through domestic processing. However, the EU argues that it violates WTO rules on non-discrimination and export restrictions. This lawsuit could threaten the development of Indonesia's mining industry by limiting the government's ability to manage its natural resources and implement policies that promote domestic processing. In light of these issues, the purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the lawsuit on the Indonesian economy, particularly in terms of investment, employment, and environmental sustainability. The use of the internet as a data collection tool allows researchers to access a broad and in-depth range of information according to research needs. The data analysis method used aims to present research results in an organized and easily understandable form. Additionally, it is necessary to explore strategies that Indonesia can adopt to maintain its down streaming policy while fulfilling international commitments. In conclusion, the EU's lawsuit at the WTO highlights the challenges Indonesia faces in implementing its down streaming policy, while calling for a more balanced approach in managing complex international trade relations. Further research is needed to find solutions that can benefit both parties without compromising sustainable development goals.
