Abstract

This study underscores the untapped historical significance of the Lancang Kuning, a Pinisi type sailing ship, in the context of maritime trade within the Nusantara archipelago, and the implications it carries for global maritime historiography. By employing a comprehensive historical research methodology—encompassing heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography—we delve into verbal and object sources, followed by rigorous data triangulation. Our findings unearth that the Lancang Kuning, initially named La Suni, was constructed in 1860 by Laode Ntauale in Katilombu, Sampolawa, and later relocated to Riau in 1865 to bolster trade activities in Tanjung Buton. The ship's creation was necessitated by the need for a vessel capable of large-scale commodity transport beyond the Nusantara region. The ship significantly contributed to the prosperity of the creator's family, its crew, and the local community, with the management entrusted to its crew. However, the ship ceased to operate post Laode Ntauale's demise and was subsequently abandoned in Siak, Riau. This study accentuates the Lancang Kuning's pivotal role in regional trade, offering a nuanced understanding of maritime trade history, vital for global maritime scholars and policymakers. Highlights: Lancang Kuning, a Pinisi type sailing ship built in 1860, played a crucial role in enhancing maritime trade within the Nusantara region. The ship's construction was necessitated by the demand for large-scale commodity transport beyond the Nusantara archipelago. Post the demise of its creator, Laode Ntauale, the ship was abandoned, highlighting the transient nature of maritime trade mechanisms and their dependency on key individuals. Keywords: Buton's maritime culture, maritime history, Lancang Kuning ship, the history of the Butonese people

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the influence of media and peers on premarital sexual behavior among adolescents in both urban and rural areas. The research was conducted at Hizbul Wathan Kwarda Sidoarjo using a cross-sectional method. The study population consisted of 90 individuals who were members of Hizbul Wathan Scouts, and purposive sampling was employed for participant selection. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. The findings revealed that the majority of participants (68 out of 90) had no exposure to media, and a significant proportion (63.3%) reported positive peer influence. Statistical analysis using Fisher's Exact test indicated that the influence of media on premarital sexual behavior was not significant (p-value = 0.219 > 0.05), whereas peer influence was found to be significantly associated with premarital sexual behavior (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). These results suggest that while media exposure may not play a substantial role, peers exert a significant influence on premarital sexual behavior among Hizbul Wathan members. This study contributes to the understanding of factors shaping adolescent sexual behavior and highlights the importance of addressing peer influences in interventions aimed at reducing risky sexual behaviors among young individuals. Highlights: Media Influence: The study found no significant influence of media on premarital sex behavior among adolescents. Peer Influence: Positive peer influence was found to have a significant impact on premarital sexual behavior among adolescents. Cross-sectional Study: The research employed a cross-sectional method to investigate the relationship between media, peers, and premarital sex behavior among adolescents. Keywords: premarital sex, adolescents, media influence, peer influence, cross-sectional study

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the impact of Discovery Learning model implementation through a Science-Technology-Society (STS) approach on creative thinking skills among middle school students. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest method was utilized. The study was conducted on a sample of 14 students from Muhammadiyah 4 Porong Middle School, with the instrument being a test of creative thinking skills. Data were gathered through pretest and posttest scores, analyzed using N-Gain test. The result, an N-Gain score of 0.38, indicated a moderate effect of the Discovery Learning model via the STS approach on the students' creative thinking skills. The skills were divided into four indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Post-intervention, fluency exhibited the highest improvement, followed by flexibility and elaboration, while originality showed the least progress. Despite certain limitations in originality and detail-oriented thinking, the study still provided strong evidence for the efficacy of the combined Discovery Learning and STS approach in enhancing students' creative thinking abilities, endorsing its broader application in education settings to foster creativity. Highlights: Discovery Learning model coupled with the Science-Technology-Society (STS) approach moderately improves students' creative thinking skills. Among the four assessed creative thinking indicators, fluency and flexibility displayed significant improvement. Despite the less notable progress in originality, the combined model's overall positive impact endorses its broader application in education settings.

Abstract

This research employs a psychoanalytic approach to investigate the effects of phobias on the psychological security of adolescents and the implications for their socio-educational development. The study postulates that phobias result in emotional discomfort and dissatisfaction, thereby weakening individuals' volitional sphere and impairing decision-making capabilities. Data collected were empirically analyzed to discern the balance between self-emotional assessment and psychological protection opportunities during adolescence. The results indicate that phobias, among other effects, reduce environmental tolerance, hinder self-control and personal belief in one's strengths, impede resistance to internal and external influences, decrease self-satisfaction, disrupt communicative skills, and negatively affect the mental state. These impacts collectively lead to a significant drop in the efficiency of the activities a person engages in. Consequently, the study underscores the importance of proper educational interventions from school administrators, teachers, psychologists, and parents to ensure the psychological well-being of adolescents. This approach promises to enhance their resilience and psychological security, enabling their optimal participation in socio-economic activities. Highlights: Phobias significantly affect the psychological security of adolescents, impairing their decision-making capabilities and reducing their overall effectiveness in activities. A psychoanalytic approach provides insights into the balance between self-emotional assessment and psychological protection opportunities during adolescence. Educational interventions from stakeholders (school administrators, teachers, psychologists, parents) are critical in managing phobias among adolescents, promoting psychological well-being, and fostering socio-economic participation. Keywords: Phobias, Adolescents, Psychological Security, Psychoanalytic Approach, Emotional Discomfort

Furthermore, the study illuminated a combined effect of HRIS, OCB, and organizational communication on organizational effectiveness. Among the variables, organizational communication was identified as the most significant factor. The study highlights the potential of effectively managed communication, alongside HRIS and OCB, to optimize organizational effectiveness. The implications thus emphasize the need for enhanced organizational communication practices, OCB, and HRIS implementation for improved organizational performance. Highlights: Organizational communication emerged as the most significant contributor to organizational effectiveness, underscoring the importance of effective internal communication practices. The Human Resource Information System (HRIS), despite its significant influence, indicates the need for technological enhancement in managing human resources for improved organizational performance. The study highlighted the potential of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in boosting organizational effectiveness, even though its impact was less significant compared to other variables. Keywords: Human Resource Information Systems, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Organizational Communication, Organizational Effectiveness, Quantitative Research.

Abstract

This study probes the legal safeguards available for children with disabilities subjected to sexual violence in Sidoarjo Regency, Indonesia, adopting a normative juridical approach. Using normative legal research methodologies, the data collection was conducted through document studies and legal document analysis concerning the legal protection of children and people with disabilities. The research unveiled that the Child Protection Law No. 35/2014 provides special regulations for the protection of children with disabilities, yet it does not explicitly address sexual violence. Conversely, the Disability Law No. 8 of 2016 expressly outlines the rights of disabled children against sexual abuse and their entitlement to education. The study also found congruity in the TPKS Law No. 12 of 2022, which stipulates the protection of disabled children subjected to sexual violence during legal proceedings. The results imply the potential for improved preventive measures, such as local regulations in Sidoarjo Regency addressing sexual violence against disabled children, proactive parental supervision, and a call for societal protection of these children. Furthermore, the implementation of strict sanctions as per applicable laws may provide a sense of justice for the victims.Highlights: Child Protection Law No. 35/2014 and Disability Law No. 8 of 2016 together address the protection of children with disabilities, albeit without explicit mention of sexual violence in the former. The TPKS Law No. 12 of 2022 provides a specific legal framework for the protection of disabled children who are victims of sexual violence during court proceedings. Preventive measures and stringent sanctions, as per these laws, could provide an enhanced sense of justice and security for victims, underscoring the necessity of societal vigilance and parental involvement.
