Inhibiting and Supporting Factors that Influence Caregiver Performance

The Institute of Public Administration (IPDN) is a civil service educational institution that aims to form cadres of state civil servants with integrity, discipline, and professionalism. As a long-term government effort to support bureaucratic reform, IPDN provides free education to selected cadets, who after graduating are immediately appointed as civil servants. This study aims to evaluate the performance of caregivers, especially Kasat Dharma, in forming the personality of cadets at IPDN South Sulawesi Campus. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection methods through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants were determined through purposive sampling techniques that included caregivers, cadets, and campus structural officials. The results of the study showed that the performance of Kasat Dharma was quite good in terms of coaching, although there were still obstacles in interpersonal communication and coordination between units. Based on Herzberg's two-factor theory, it was found that supporting factors for Kasat Dharma's performance include intrinsic motivation such as moral responsibility, pride in the results of coaching, and high dedication. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include the limited number of caregivers, minimal training, lack of supporting facilities, and a less than optimal coordination system. The combination of these two factors affects the stability and effectiveness of the overall performance of caregivers. Therefore, improving the work environment and strengthening the support system needs to be done in order to maintain and improve the performance of caregivers in a sustainable manner

The Role of the Public Prosecutor in Prosecuting Suspects of Drug Abuse Criminal Acts in Bone Regency

Drug abuse is categorized as an Extra Ordinary Crime due to its serious threat to national security. This study aims to examine the role of Public Prosecutors in prosecuting drug crime suspects in Bone Regency. Using an empirical research approach, the study was conducted through field research at the Watampone District Attorney's Office, focusing on the prosecutors' responsibilities in handling narcotics cases. The findings reveal several key roles of public prosecutors: receiving and reviewing case files after police investigations to determine completeness (P-21); accepting the suspect and evidence during Stage II; and prosecuting the suspect in court. In the courtroom, the prosecutor prepares indictments based on evidence and facts from investigations and must convincingly prove the suspect's guilt under relevant provisions of the Narcotics Law. The study also identifies key obstacles faced by public prosecutors, including weak coordination between law enforcement institutions such as the Police, BNN, and Customs, which often hinders information sharing and evidence alignment. Additionally, the limited understanding of evolving technologies and methods used by drug syndicates presents further challenges in effectively prosecuting such cases. The study concludes that strengthening inter-agency cooperation and enhancing the technical knowledge of prosecutors are essential steps to improve the prosecution process in drug-related crimes

Contestation of Legal and Social Norms in Early Marriage

This research discusses the phenomenon of early marriage that occurs in Pinayungan Village, Karawang Regency, by highlighting the imbalance between legal norms and social norms prevailing in the community. Although legal regulations, such as Law No. 16 of 2019 and PERMA No. 5 of 2019, have regulated the minimum age of marriage and marriage dispensation procedures for the protection of children's rights, the practice of early marriage is still rampant. Through a juridical-sociological approach and qualitative method, this study explores the sociocultural factors behind early marriage, including the belief in the "itung-itungan" tradition and parents' concerns about promiscuity. Interviews with the Religious Affairs Office and one of the children who married early show that social norms in the community take precedence over formal state legal norms. This phenomenon reinforces the concept of "living law" proposed by Eugen Ehrlich. In addition to violating positive law, the practice of early marriage also causes violations of various children's rights guaranteed by the Child Protection Law and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, such as the right to education, health, decent work, and the right to grow and develop optimally. This study recommends the need for a culture-based legal approach to encourage the effective implementation of child protection and prevention of early marriage

Oswald's Marketing Semiotics Analysis: Cultural Elements in Marketing Communication at the "Bajawa Flores NTT" Café

This study analyzes how Flores' cultural elements are used as a marketing communication strategy at Kafe Bajawa. Using a qualitative approach and Oswald’s marketing semiotics analysis, the research explores the meanings embedded in cultural elements such as Komodo statues, woven fabrics, Sasando musical instruments, photographs of Flores residents, a map of Flores Island, and the collaboration of traditional music with modern genres. Data were collected through direct observation of both exterior and interior decorations, as well as customer interviews to understand their responses to the presented cultural elements. The findings indicate that Flores' cultural elements play a significant role in shaping the café's identity and appeal. Analysis based on Consumer Brandscape shows that cultural signs create an authentic and unique impression, while emotional territories indicate that these cultural elements build emotional connections with customers through a comfortable and dynamic atmosphere. There is no cultural tension between traditional and modern elements; instead, they harmoniously blend, particularly in interior design and the music experience. From the perspective of cultural categories, Kafe Bajawa successfully positions itself as a venue that embodies Flores' cultural heritage in a modern context. Data triangulation through customer interviews confirms that the displayed cultural elements reinforce the café’s image as a space rich in local identity while remaining comfortable for an urban audience. The success of this strategy lies in balancing culture and modernity, creating an engaging experience that fosters customer loyalty

The Nexus of Ownership Structure, Profitability, Financing and Firm Value: Testing the Moderating Role of Firm Size

This study aims to analyze the influence of managerial ownership, institutional ownership, profitability, and leverage on firm value, with firm size as a moderator. High firm value will send a positive signal to investors. This quantitative study uses 165 observational data obtained from the financial statements of non-cyclical consumer sector companies (2019-2023). This research tests eight hypotheses using panel data regression involving firm size as a moderating variable (Moderated Regression Analysis–MRA). The results show that institutional ownership and leverage (DER) have no effect on firm value. Meanwhile, managerial ownership shows a positive effect on firm value, and profitability (ROE) shows a negative effect on firm value. Furthermore, in testing the moderation model, the firm size variable weakens the effect of institutional ownership on firm value. This interaction effect is not apparent in testing managerial ownership (MAN), profitability (ROE), and leverage (DER) on firm value (PBV). Other findings indicate that firm size in the study does not act as a pure moderator, but rather as a quasi-moderator

Effectiveness of the Village Apparatus Empowerment Program in Village Financial Management in Mandailing Natal Regency

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the village apparatus empowerment program in village financial management in Mandailing Natal Regency. This empowerment program is designed to increase the capacity of village officials in managing and supervising the allocation of village funds to be more transparent and accountable. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with case studies. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation involving village officials, program assistants, and village communities. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis techniques. The results show that the effectiveness of the empowerment program is influenced by four main indicators, namely communication, resources, disposition, and organizational structure. Effective communication between the district government, assistants, and village officials supports the understanding of village financial management. However, there are obstacles in delivering information to the public. Limited human resources and technology are obstacles in the implementation of the program, especially in remote areas. The positive disposition of most village officials in applying the principles of transparency and accountability has had a positive impact, although there is resistance to change among more senior village officials. A clear organizational structure and good coordination between village officials have been proven to increase the effectiveness of village financial management. The conclusion of this study is that the success of the village apparatus empowerment program in village financial management is highly dependent on the synergy between communication factors, resources, disposition, and organizational structure
