The Impact of Smartphone Addiction on Learning Outcomes Between Male and Female University Students

This study analyzed the impact of smartphone addiction on learning outcomes between males and females on learning outcomes. Several studies have analyzed the effects of smartphone addiction on student learning effectiveness. However, there are a lot of gaps in these studies, such as the selected sample, in which all the respondents are assumed to belong to a gender group. In this work, we categorize each respondent, based on gender, into male and female. 500 students from public and private universities in Indonesia participated in this study. The independent-sample t-test, linear correlation, and regression analysis determined the result.

The Patterns of Ownership and the Registration of Customary Land in Manggarai Regency, Indonesia

This research analyzes ownership patterns and the process of legalizing customary land in Manggarai Regency. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach and uses secondary data. Normative socio-juridical methods are also used to view and analyze the research data that has been collected. Data was collected through observations and interviews with traditional elders and members of traditional communities. The results showed that the legalization of Ulayat land greatly affected the pattern of land ownership in Manggarai and the change of entities from indigenous land to non-indigenous land that was initially jointly controlled or communal into individual rights due to the legalization or registration of land. Legalization of Ulayat land with a public dimension can only be done by measuring, mapping, and recording it in the land register. Meanwhile, Ulayat land with private dimensions can be issued a land certificate for individuals with a release mechanism from the customary leader to be used as state land. This legalization resulted in the depreciation of Ulayat land and the fading of customary bonds in Manggarai. This research provides insight into land legalization's legal and social impacts on Manggarai, highlighting significant changes in ownership structures and the loss of customary values
