Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the development of standing pouch packaging on increasing the economic and aesthetic value of products at the UMKM Kripik Usus Hawa Snack. This UMKM is a producer of snacks made from chicken intestines that has been operating since 2020. The research method uses a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with owners and consumers, as well as a quantitative approach through distributing questionnaires to 41 respondents from middle to upper class consumers. The results of the study showed that the old packaging used by MSMEs seemed less attractive and functional. Through an analysis of five important aspects of packaging—shape, material, color, font, and brand—it was found that the majority of respondents chose the standing pouch form (48.8%), aluminum foil material (68.3%), bright colors (75.6%), and wanted complete information on the packaging (65.9%) and a clear brand (80.5%). The implementation of the new packaging for three months showed a positive economic impact, namely an increase in selling price of 15–20%, an increase in net profit of around 10%, and increased purchasing interest, repeat orders, and demand from resellers. These findings strengthen the theory that packaging is not just a product protector, but a strategic instrument in marketing that influences quality perception and purchasing decisions. This study recommends standing pouches as an innovative packaging solution for MSMEs who want to strengthen branding, increase competitiveness, and target the premium market segment.

Abstract

The transformation of the intermediation function of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) is a strategic necessity to meet the demand for a fair, transparent, and sustainable financial system. Despite rapid growth, the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) of IFIs still lags behind the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) of conventional banks, indicating suboptimal intermediation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the intermediation function of IFIs through the integration of sharia principles such as justice, partnership, and the prohibition of usury. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through literature studies, documentation, and analysis. The results show that Islamic business ethics and the values of maqashid sharia strengthen the intermediation role of IFIs, positioning them not only as financial intermediaries but also as agents of social change. However, a significant challenge is the limited effectiveness of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), caused by weak regulations, limited operational reach, and low involvement in product innovation. The study underscores the need to enhance the SSB’s role and regulatory synergy to improve IFIs governance. The findings contribute both theoretically, by proposing sharia-based FDR effectiveness, and practically, by offering insights for policymakers to optimize IFIs' role in inclusive and sharia-compliant economic development.

Abstract

Informed consent serves as a fundamental ethical and legal mechanism to uphold patient autonomy and safeguard against medical malpractice. This evolving concept provides an opportunity to assess the weaknesses and effectiveness of informed consent mechanisms as a form of legal protection in Indonesia, particularly in comparison to the legal systems of other countries. This paper aims to compare the role of informed consent as a legal safeguard in healthcare services in Indonesia and other countries. This study employed a comparative legal research method using both normative-comparative and functional approaches, supported by literature searches across four major electronic databases. The included materials consist of peer-reviewed empirical studies, legal analyses, policy reports, and case studies. In Indonesia, informed consent is governed by various legal instruments, including the newly enacted Law No. 17 of 2023. However, implementation faces challenges related to cultural values, paternalistic practices, and limited health literacy. In comparison, systems in the UK, Germany, and the US emphasize individual autonomy and standardized documentation, whereas Indonesia continues to struggle with systemic and socio-cultural barriers that compromise consent quality. In many developing countries, collective decision-making norms and resource constraints further hinder compliance with international standards. Meanwhile, developed countries face challenges related to complexity, variability in practice, and the influence of advanced technologies on patient comprehension. Informed consent is a vital legal instrument in healthcare, but its implementation is heavily influenced by the legal structure, cultural context, and institutional capacity of each country. A culturally adaptive approach to informed consent, alongside capacity strengthening, simplification of informational materials, and the use of communication technologies, is essential to ensure ethically sound and legally effective patient protection.

Abstract

Limited access and uneven quality of medical rehabilitation services remain major challenges in improving patients’ quality of life in Indonesia. Many patients, especially in remote areas, face difficulties accessing adequate rehabilitation facilities due to limited human and infrastructure resources. Additionally, a lack of public awareness and insufficient psychosocial support reduce therapy adherence. This study aims to evaluate the barriers and potential solutions within Indonesia’s medical rehabilitation system. The research method employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a literature review technique based on secondary data such as scientific articles, policy documents, and relevant research reports. Findings reveal key obstacles including limited facilities, insufficient health insurance coverage for rehabilitation services, and inconsistent service standards across facilities. The discussion highlights the need for strengthening referral systems, improving public health literacy, and developing integrated rehabilitation models that include psychosocial components. The study concludes that enhancing access, service quality, and active participation of patients and families in the rehabilitation process is essential for accelerating recovery and improving patient outcomes.

Abstract

Criminal and civil law often intersect in land ownership disputes, particularly when land grabbing cases are delayed due to ongoing civil litigation. This creates challenges in law enforcement, especially regarding legal certainty, justice, and utility. This study aims to examine how legal protection is provided to complainants in criminal cases involving sufficient evidence under Article 184 of the Criminal Procedure Code, when the investigation is suspended due to civil disputes. It also investigates whether the suspension practice based on the Chief of Police’s Telegram Letter, referring to Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) Number 1 of 1956, aligns with the principles of legal certainty and justice. The study adopts a normative juridical approach, using statutory, theoretical, and case-based analysis. It focuses on in-concreto legal evaluation, especially on whether criminal investigations should proceed or be postponed pending civil decisions. Findings show that although Perma Number 11956 provides procedural guidance for prejudicial disputes, its application often leads to legal uncertainty and risks case expiration. This creates dualism in judicial practice. Law enforcement authorities must carefully assess the status of civil claims before halting criminal investigations. Future research should address the need for more integrated regulations to avoid conflicting practices between civil and criminal proceedings.

Abstract

The security and safety of doctors is a serious concern in the health sector, especially after the occurrence of various violence against health workers. This issue has become increasingly important with the new Health Law, which is expected to provide stronger legal protection for doctors in carrying out their professional duties. This study aims to examine how legal protection for doctors is regulated in the new regulation and identify whether the protection is sufficient to ensure a sense of security at work. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a case approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through literature study of legal documents, laws and regulations, and relevant court decisions. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that the new Health Law contains several important provisions regarding legal protection for doctors, but there are still some legal gaps and weaknesses in implementation in the field. Therefore, it is recommended that the government strengthen legal protection mechanisms and clarify law enforcement procedures in cases of violence against doctors in order to create a safe and conducive work environment.

Abstract

Health workers play a critical role in responding to medical emergencies and disasters. The legal responsibilities and obligations of health workers in these situations are often highlighted, both in terms of legal protection for health workers and their responsibility to save lives. This article will examine the legal standing of health workers in emergency and disaster scenarios. It will also examine the legal protection afforded to health workers in carrying out their duties, as well as the legal difficulties and issues they face in Indonesia. This research used normative legal research techniques and it used references from various national and international legal sources, as well as case studies, will be used for comparison. The legal standing of health workers in Indonesia, especially during emergencies and disasters, requires clearer and stricter rules to protect medical personnel on duty. Existing rules and regulations provide a legal framework, but in practice, health workers often face legal obstacles, especially in emergency situations and major disasters.

Abstract

Intercontinental traditional health workers are health workers with a scientific basis in traditional Chinese health who perform traditional health services in Indonesia accordance with Health Law No. 17 of 2023. This research aims to conduct an in-depth study of the legal certainty of Intercontinental traditional health workers in Indonesia in relation to rights, authorities and sanctions in the provision of health services and support for National Health Network (JKN) benefits through the Health Social Security Organizing Agency (BPJS). The research is a qualitative research based on normative law in the form of a legal research process that focuses on legal rules or principles sourced from laws and regulations, court decisions, and doctrines from legal experts. The results of the study state that Intercontinental traditional health workers get legal certainty in accordance with the Law and Regulation of the Minister of Health as traditional health workers with authority and can practice in independent practices, community health centers, hospitals, traditional health service facilities and/or health service facilities (Griya Sehat). Intercontinental traditional health workers have not yet received benefit support from the National Health Network through the Social Security Organizing Agency. It is necessary to make regulations for Intercontinental traditional health practitioners that include internationally recognized competency standards, national registration and licensing mechanisms, and residency and work requirements

Abstract

Crimes against the protection of women and children (Tindak Pidana Perdagangan Anak/TPPA) and human trafficking offences (Tindak Pidana Perdagangan Orang/TPPO) are serious transnational crimes that violate human rights and threaten social order. In Indonesia, TPPA and TPPO cases rose significantly from 2023 to 2024, exposing a persistent gap between legal frameworks and their practical enforcement. This study analyzes the evolution of TPPA and TPPO case handling by reviewing relevant regulations, examining annual case data, and identifying key challenges in the prevention and prosecution of these cases. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, this study draws on statistics from the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection and the Indonesian National Police, supplemented by a review of relevant legislation. Findings indicate that while reported cases continue to increase, resolution rates remain low due to the limited availability of specialized personnel, inadequate infrastructure, particularly in remote regions, weak inter-agency coordination, low public awareness, and insufficient victim protection. A notable legal development in 2024 is the creation of a dedicated TPPA and TPPO Directorate within the National Police, aimed at improving investigative procedures, institutional structures, and human resource capacity. The study concludes that stronger regulatory implementation, improved coordination, and comprehensive victim support are essential to address the ongoing enforcement gap.

Abstract

The enactment of Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health has raised significant concerns regarding its implications for the role and authority of health professional organizations in Indonesia. This new law is perceived as failing to uphold the functions previously guaranteed under earlier health-related regulations. This study aims to examine the legal challenges arising from the reduction of authority granted to Indonesian health professional organizations following the enactment of the Omnibus Health Law Number 17 of 2023, as well as its impact on their legal status and functional authority. Using a normative legal approach, this research applies statutory and conceptual methods, relying on both primary and secondary legal materials. The findings reveal that the diminished authority of health professional organizations has weakened their regulatory capacity, disrupted standard-setting mechanisms, and created institutional fragmentation. This condition hinders effective professional oversight and threatens public health protections. The legal restructuring introduced by the new Health Law undermines the coherent role of health professional organizations and necessitates future legal clarification or revision.
