KENDALA PELAKSANAAN PEMBAYARAN KOMPENSASI PEMUTUSAN HUBUNGAN KERJA BERDASARKAN UU RI NO. 13 TAHUN 2003 TENTANG KETENAGAKERJAAN (Studi Kasus Pada PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia(Persero))

Kata-kata Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja merupakan suatu mimpi buruk khususnya bagi pekerja/buruh, sehingga setiap pekerja/buruh harus mengupayakan untuk menghindari terjadinya pemutusan hubungan kerja yang tidak normal misalnya pekerja melakukan kesalahan, begitu juga pengusaha akan menjadikan permasalahan,  minimal pembayaran kompensasi pemutusan hubungan kerja, bahkan bisa jadi sampai permasalahan hukum. Satu hal yang terpenting dari terjadinya pemutusan hubungan kerja adalah sejauhmana pekerja/buruh memperoleh hak-hak minimalnya, sebagaimana  yang tercantum dalam pasal 156 ayat (1) UU RI No. 13 tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan pembayaran kompensasi PHK yang dilaksanakan oleh kantor pusat PT PELNI belum sepenuhnya melaksanakan ketentuan Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan, baik ketentuan maupun pelaksanaannya, Kantor pusat PT PELNI disamping berpedoman pada Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan justru mayoritas masih menggunakan Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 11 tahun 1992 tentang Dana Pensiun. Padahal dalam kedua Undang-Undang tersebut jelas berbeda dalam aturan masing-masing.Kata Kunci: Kompensasi pesangon, pemutusan hubungan kerja, pekerja

Aktualisasi Klaim Asuransi Pada Lembaga Asuransi Jiwa Syariah Berdasarkan Prinsip Syariah

Klaim asuransi pada asuransi jiwa syariah merupakan pintu bagi konsumen untuk mendapatkan haknya ketika pemilik polis meninggal dunia.  Dalam tatanan praktisnya lembaga asuransi jiwa Syariah akan berpedoman pada prinsip Syariah dalam menjalankan operasionalnya. Klaim asuransi seringkali menjadi sengketa antara nasabah dan Lembaga asuransi karena adanya sifat gharar pada prosedur yang disepakati diawal perjanjian. Fokus pada penelitian ini adalah pertama, Bagaimana aktualisasi klaim asuransi pada lembaga asuransi jiwa syariah berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip Syariah; kedua, Bagaimana hambatan-hambatan dalam menerapkan prinsip keadilan pada klaim asuransi bagi nasabah asuransi jiwa syariah berdasarkan prinsip Syariah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan normatif kualitatif dengan analisis data yang bersumber pada primer dan sekunder. Penelitian ini menemukan pertama, Pelaksanaan Pelaksanaan klaim asuransi pada Lembaga asuransi jiwa Syariah masih belum dilaksanakan sepenuhnya sesuai dengan prinsip syariah karena masih banyak aspek yang bersifat tidak jelas dalam akad Kedua, hambatan dalam pelaksanaan asuransi jiwa Syariah berdasarkan prinsp Syariah yaitu belum dipahami secara mendalam akad-akad dalam asuransi jiwa Syariah oleh para pihak; adanya disorientasi dalam akad tersebut sehingga maknanya belum berdasarkan prinsip Syariah; dan kesadaran masyarakat dalam bertransaksi dengan asuransi jiwa Syariah belum signifikan

Towards a psychological framework on time perception in patients with chronic tinnitus

Although disabling tinnitus is a chronic auditory phantom sensation, current knowledge on time perception (i.e., subjective time) in sufferers is limited and unsystematic. This theoretical analysis provides a first approach to this topic, highlighting the heterogeneity of time perception in humans as shown in various research areas. This heterogeneity is inherently related to goal attainment. Our immediate perception of time is restricted to present moment and recent past, whereas our sense of time is mostly future-oriented and represented as our past in a mental time line. The heterogeneity of time translates into a tension between anticipated changes one wants to see happen and full commitment that is required to goal attainment. Tinnitus sufferers are intensely aware of this tension in their self-perception. Their most compelling desire is that they no longer perceive tinnitus, but they get closer to this goal only by avoiding to put all their thoughts into it. Our analysis provides new perspectives on acceptance of tinnitus in relation to this time paradox. Building on the Tolerance model and the role of self-awareness in time perception, we contend that the main way for patients to gain long-term self-confidence is to engage in the present moment. Attention to this attitude is obscured in chronic sufferers by worries and ruminations associated with the ongoing presence of tinnitus. We provide arguments that time perception is a social perception, emphasizing the role of rewarding interactions in helping sufferers to overcome the feeling of being prevented from living in the moment. In the course of improvement towards acceptance, different changes in time perception are hypothesized that promote individuals’ disengagement from unattainable goal (i.e., tinnitus suppression). A framework for future research is proposed, which distinguishes individuals’ behaviors and associated emotions in relation to the time paradox

What Good is Positive Business?

Current economic forces, combined with powerful social forces, have created a shifting paradigm of value for markets and organizations around the world. Simply making money – regardless of the social costs – will no longer suffice as a definition of success for a country, a business or even for most individuals, as the human and environmental price becomes increasingly expensive and unsustainable. Now more than ever we need a revolution of new theories and ideologies to help us define and discover the “good society” of the future. Humbly the authors of this paper propose a new theory of business – Theory P – and a means to test its applications – positive business – to advance this revolution by developing more positive leaders, employees and institutions. Grounded in the learnings from the great business thinkers and the leading “people” scientists of our time, we have blended organizational scholarship, positive psychology and positive organizational scholarship together to ask “What good is positive business?” We hope you find our thinking enjoyable, challenging and provocative. And we welcome feedback and ideas on how we might shape our ideas further

Helminth Parasites of the Wild Turkey in South Dakota

The original range of the eastern wild turkey included part of South Dakota. However, they disappeared from the state by 1920 and were not reintroduced until 1948. Up until this point, little work has been done concerning the macroscopic endoparasites of wild turkeys in any region, and no work of this nature has been undertaken in South Dakota. Therefore, the South Dakota Department of Game, fish, and parks entered into a cooperative arrangement with South Dakota State College to determine the incidence and distribution of helminths in wild turkeys of western South Dakota. In 1958, 198 turkeys harvested by hunters were examined and form the basis for this study. Of the 198 viscera collected, 85.35 per cent contained parasites. Castodes are the most common endoparasites infecting the wild turkey flock in South Dakota’s Black hills

What is the burden of tinnitus?

Introduction: Tinnitus is a complex experience that often occurs alongside other health conditions, including hearing loss. In the UK, as in other western countries, patterns of health are changing with a rise in multi-morbidity and complexity of health conditions. As we age, we can expect to live with multiple health conditions. Burden of illness has long been recognised. Less well recognised is the burden that accumulates from the treatment of health conditions. Methods: This qualitative thematic analysis of patient accounts described the cumulative burdens of tinnitus, both the experience of hearing the tinnitus and from the treatments undertaken. Between 2017-8 we conducted interviews with 38 participants who were help-seekers in a range of contrasting UK clinical services (Physician led, Audiology led and Hearing Therapy led). We examined these interview data using reflexive thematic analysis methods to identify and explore the cumulative burdens for those who live with and seek help for their tinnitus. Specifically, we used six phased approach to determine and group themes. Results: The themes provide a coherent description of the nature of the burden that people with tinnitus experience. Discussion: In tinnitus, as with most chronic health conditions, the largest treatment workload is devolved to the patient. Patients are required to implement treatments, learn about tinnitus and find new ways of coping. Yet this work happens invisibly, without recognition from clinicians who measure outcomes but not the efforts made to achieve outcomes. Patient-centred care depends upon the recognition of the cumulative burdens that patients experience

Pitch Comparisons between Electrical Stimulation of a Cochlear Implant and Acoustic Stimuli Presented to a Normal-hearing Contralateral Ear

Four cochlear implant users, having normal hearing in the unimplanted ear, compared the pitches of electrical and acoustic stimuli presented to the two ears. Comparisons were between 1,031-pps pulse trains and pure tones or between 12 and 25-pps electric pulse trains and bandpass-filtered acoustic pulse trains of the same rate. Three methods—pitch adjustment, constant stimuli, and interleaved adaptive procedures—were used. For all methods, we showed that the results can be strongly influenced by non-sensory biases arising from the range of acoustic stimuli presented, and proposed a series of checks that should be made to alert the experimenter to those biases. We then showed that the results of comparisons that survived these checks do not deviate consistently from the predictions of a widely-used cochlear frequency-to-place formula or of a computational cochlear model. We also demonstrate that substantial range effects occur with other widely used experimental methods, even for normal-hearing listeners

Gap-induced reductions of evoked potentials in the auditory cortex: a possible objective marker for the presence of tinnitus in animals

Animal models of tinnitus are essential for determining the underlying mechanisms and testing pharmacotherapies. However, there is doubt over the validity of current behavioural methods for detecting tinnitus. Here, we applied a stimulus paradigm widely used in a behavioural test (gap-induced inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex GPIAS) while recording from the auditory cortex, and showed neural response changes that mirror those found in the behavioural tests. We implanted guinea pigs (GPs) with electrocorticographic (ECoG) arrays and recorded baseline auditory cortical responses to a startling stimulus. When a gap was inserted in otherwise continuous background noise prior to the startling stimulus, there was a clear reduction in the subsequent evoked response (termed gap-induced reductions in evoked potentials; GIREP), suggestive of a neural analogue of the GPIAS test. We then unilaterally exposed guinea pigs to narrowband noise (left ear; 8-10 kHz; 1 hour) at one of two different sound levels - either 105 dB SPL or 120 dB SPL – and recorded the same responses seven-to-ten weeks following the noise exposure. Significant deficits in GIREP were observed for all areas of the auditory cortex (AC) in the 120 dB-exposed GPs, but not in the 105 dB-exposed GPs. These deficits could not simply be accounted for by changes in response amplitudes. Furthermore, in the contralateral (right) caudal AC we observed a significant increase in evoked potential amplitudes across narrowband background frequencies in both 105 dB and 120 dB-exposed GPs. Taken in the context of the large body of literature that has used the behavioural test as a demonstration of the presence of tinnitus, these results are suggestive of objective neural correlates of the presence of noise-induced tinnitus and hyperacusis
