Abstract

The rapid development and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within medical diagnostics present complex legal challenges that cannot be resolved merely by attributing absolute liability to either the physician or the machine. In Indonesia, regulations concerning health, health technology, electronic medical records, personal data protection, medical devices, and regional digital governance have evolved significantly. However, there remains a critical absence of a specific legal regime that explicitly delineates accountability when AI outputs contribute to misdiagnosis. This article investigates how legal discovery can reconstruct the accountability framework for diagnostic AI, specifically within the regional context of West Java Province. Utilizing a normative legal method supplemented by statutory, conceptual, philosophical, and limited comparative approaches, this study examines primary legal materials including Health Law Number 17 of 2023, Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024, Personal Data Protection Law Number 27 of 2022, and relevant West Java gubernatorial regulations. The analysis reveals that AI accountability currently exists within a fragmented legal regime. Consequently, legal discovery through systematic and teleological interpretation, legal analogy, and legal construction is imperative. This article proposes a multilayered accountability model that more clearly delineates the obligations of developers, healthcare facilities, medical personnel, central regulators, regional governments, and patients.

Abstract

The leather sector faces persistent tensions over its sustainability claims. Critics associate it with livestock agriculture and chemical pollution, whereas the industry frames leather as a circular solution by upcycling agrifood byproducts into luxury materials. Viewed through the combined lenses of Paradox and Legitimacy theories, this study investigates how global leather stakeholders discursively navigate this structural tension. Adopting a qualitative, multiple-case study design of four distinct global entities, the research combines Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) and Barthesian semiotics to analyze corporate disclosures. The empirical material is supplemented by a semi-structured interview with a senior industry brand strategist to uncover the strategic intent behind these narratives. This study critically evaluates how industry stakeholders interpret and communicate structural paradoxes. Specifically, it discloses how they deploy “rhetorical upcycling” to magnify upstream waste valorization while obscuring downstream ecotoxicological processing footprints. The findings reveal that while these rhetorical strategies successfully manipulate external perception of value, they create an unsustainable decoupling of corporate image from operational realities. Consequently, this study demonstrates that corporate sustainability must transition from mere rhetorical compliance and symbolic legitimacy towards an integrated, holistic paradigm where organizations transparently articulate how they navigate inherent socio-ecological dualities within their formal disclosures.

Abstract

The transportation and logistics sector plays a vital role in supporting economic activities. Yet, post-pandemic recovery has not resulted in uniform financial performance among companies, highlighting the importance of examining the factors that influence their financial performance. This study aims to analyze the influence of liquidity, solvency, profitability, and company size on the financial performance of companies in the transportation and logistics sectors listed on the IDX for 2021-2025. The method used was quantitative descriptive with secondary data of financial statements, a sample of 15 companies with purposive sampling, and regression analysis of panel data using EViews 13. The results of the study partially showed that profitability had a significant effect on financial performance, while liquidity, solvency, and company size did not have a significant effect. However, simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect. In conclusion, profitability is the main factor in supporting the improvement of the company’s financial performance. These findings imply that companies should prioritize profitability management to strengthen financial performance sustainably.

Abstract

Drug abuse has become a complex social problem that threatens social stability, public security, and cultural values, particularly in indigenous communities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Pangele Pararem Number 3 of 2021 as a customary social control instrument in preventing drug abuse in the Sangsit Dauh Yeh Traditional Village. This study employed an empirical legal research design using a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving eight key informants consisting of customary village officials, village authorities, community leaders, and representatives of the Buleleng Regency National Narcotics Agency. The findings indicate that the implementation of Pangele Pararem Number 3 of 2021 has contributed to reducing drug abuse cases, increasing community awareness, strengthening public participation, and improving social security. The pararem functions not only as a customary legal instrument but also as a mechanism for strengthening social solidarity, collective responsibility, and community-based prevention. However, challenges remain regarding potential stigma from customary sanctions and the need for continuous coordination with formal legal institutions. This study concludes that customary law plays a strategic role in supporting sustainable drug prevention and maintaining social harmony within traditional communities.

Abstract

Community empowerment programs based on productive assets have gained attention as an alternative approach to achieving sustainable economic development. However, the sustainability of such programs remains challenging because it depends not only on asset provision but also on institutional, social, and governance mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting the sustainability of the Sedekah Cerdas Program, a productive asset-based community empowerment initiative implemented through a revolving goat asset mechanism. This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving 10 informants consisting of program managers, donors, beneficiaries, village government representatives, and community leaders. Data were analyzed using triangulation, technical triangulation, and member checking. The findings reveal that program sustainability is supported by institutional capacity, social capital, donor and community participation, program governance, and productive asset management. Meanwhile, sustainability challenges include changes in institutional priorities, limited human resources, reduced monitoring intensity, the COVID-19 pandemic, and livestock management risks. This study concludes that sustainable productive asset-based empowerment requires integrated institutional, social, and managerial systems to maintain long-term community benefits.

Abstract

Children’s mental health facilities are increasingly expected to provide environments that support psychological recovery in addition to clinical treatment. However, existing healthcare design standards remain largely focused on functional and technical requirements, with limited guidance on child-centred healing environments. This study aimed to synthesize recent evidence on healing architecture for school-age children (5–11 years), identify measurable lighting design parameters applicable to architectural simulation, and evaluate their relevance within the Indonesian regulatory context. A systematic literature review following the PRISMA 2020 guideline was conducted using the Scopus database, resulting in 40 eligible peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2026. Evidence was narratively synthesized across five themes: child-specific healthcare design, lighting and daylighting, color, acoustics, and integrated indoor environmental quality. The findings indicate that lighting is the most consistently supported environmental factor, followed by color, acoustics, biophilic design, and indoor environmental quality, all of which contribute to emotional regulation, stress reduction, and restorative experiences, particularly among children with autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Based on this evidence, child-centred recommendations for illuminance, correlated color temperature, color rendering index, and window-to-wall ratio were synthesized and aligned with Indonesian technical standards.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of B2B lubricant distribution requires purchasing decisions that simultaneously consider sales targets, profitability, and inventory risk. However, purchasing policies are often based solely on historical demand, resulting in inefficient product portfolios and increased deadstock risk. This study aims to develop a product portfolio optimization model by integrating goal programming, hybrid demand forecasting, and inventory risk analysis. A quantitative operations research approach was employed using sales, inventory, profitability, and customer relationship management data from a lubricant distributor in Indonesia. Hybrid demand was estimated by combining historical demand with CRM-based opportunity demand using an expected value approach, while inventory risk was evaluated through inventory ageing and reinforced by integrated FSN–XYZ–ABC classification. The optimization model successfully achieved the purchase volume target of 2,000 barrels, generated an optimal profit of IDR 931.31 million, and maintained deadstock purchase value within the company’s risk tolerance. Compared with actual purchasing practices, the proposed model reduced the proportion of purchase value allocated to non-moving products while improving profitability and working capital efficiency. These findings demonstrate that integrating goal programming with hybrid demand provides an effective decision-support approach for balancing multiple purchasing objectives and optimizing product portfolio management in B2B lubricant distribution.

Abstract

Medical disputes between dentists and patients present legal challenges, particularly in independent dental practices located in disadvantaged areas where access to professional legal and ethical institutions is limited. This study analyzes the effectiveness of resolving medical disputes between dentists and patients, with particular attention to legal effectiveness, legal certainty, and alternative dispute resolution. This study employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach and is classified as sociological legal research with a descriptive-analytical character. Data were obtained through interviews with two independent dentists, two patients, two community leaders, and one Indonesian dental association representative, supported by observations and document studies. The findings show that two identified disputes were resolved through informal verbal mediation facilitated by community figures, without written agreements or referral to professional disciplinary institutions. Mediation was relatively fast, inexpensive, and oriented toward mutually acceptable solutions. However, limited institutional access, community preferences for familial settlement, mediator neutrality, and weak legal enforceability of verbal agreements constrained its effectiveness. The study concludes that strengthening institutional support and written, enforceable mediation procedures is necessary to improve legal certainty and dispute-resolution effectiveness in independent dental practices.

Abstract

Disorders of sex development involving ambiguous genitalia present complex challenges because sex assignment decisions intersect with medical uncertainty, child rights, positive law, Islamic jurisprudence, and socio-cultural expectations. In Indonesia, the absence of DSD-specific regulations may create uncertainty regarding sex assignment, informed consent, multidisciplinary decision-making, and irreversible genital surgery. This study aims to examine the Indonesian legal framework governing sex assignment and legal protection for pediatric patients with DSD, assess its consistency with international medical standards, identify disharmony among legal, Islamic, and cultural perspectives, and formulate a harmonization framework. The study uses a normative juridical approach through library research, employing statutory, conceptual, comparative, and gap analysis methods. The findings reveal four principal regulatory gaps: the absence of DSD-specific technical guidelines, mandatory multidisciplinary team requirements, legal safeguards for deferring irreversible surgery, and mechanisms for progressive child participation. The study also identifies terminological, substantive, and operational disharmony between positive law, Islamic jurisprudence, medical standards, and socio-cultural practices. It concludes that Indonesia needs an integrated, child-centered DSD regulatory framework that emphasizes multidisciplinary assessment, DSD-specific informed consent, protection against premature irreversible interventions, and culturally and religiously sensitive family counseling to safeguard children’s long-term rights and best interests.

Abstract

Maternal healthcare services may involve practices that affect women’s autonomy, dignity, and rights, while obstetric violence remains insufficiently recognized within the Indonesian legal framework. This research aims to understand women’s experiences in maternal health care and to analyze the urgency of establishing specific regulations regarding obstetric violence, with a focus on Palu City and Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. This study employs a qualitative approach combining phenomenological and socio-legal designs. Data were collected through online in-depth interviews and pre-interview questionnaires involving women who had accessed maternal healthcare services and healthcare professionals selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of experience, power relations, and potentially harmful practices, which were then examined within the applicable legal framework. The findings indicate that women experience limited decision-making autonomy, disrespectful communication, and inadequate health information. These experiences reveal a gap between legal principles protecting patient rights and actual healthcare practices. The findings further demonstrate that obstetric violence is influenced not only by individual actions but also by paternalistic healthcare structures. Therefore, specific regulations recognizing obstetric violence are urgently needed to strengthen legal protection, promote women’s autonomy and dignity, and encourage more empathetic, respectful, and rights-based maternal healthcare practices.
