Purpose The purpose of this study is to find out: gender, social and emotional factors as obstacles that influence Generation Z in using e-Books. Design/methodology/approach The method in this study is exploratory quantitative research that was conducted by testing the factors that influence the use of e-Books by Generation Z. This study was analyzed using structure equation model, which involves regressions, measuring direct and indirect effects and path analysis. Social influence, emotional attachment and gender are suspected to be a barrier in the use of e-Books by Generation Z. Findings The results of this study indicate that social influence and gender do not affect the use of e-Books, in which only emotional attachment directly affects the preference towards e-Book. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this study is that the sample used is still in Generation Z in Indonesia so that further research can use samples from various countries. Practical implications The results of this study can be used as a consideration for e-Books Publishers to create e-books as readers wish, for example, there is a special sound when opening e-Books, there is an easy feature to give notes in e-Books and features are presented to immediately see the link in the e-Books. Social Implications Generation Z is actually ready to use e-Books for reading activities. However, there are several things that make them consider reading e-Books. what they consider is the ease of use and the usefulness of the E-Books for their daily needs. Therefore, managers of information institutions and information providers in Indonesia can at least consider what genre of e-books collection can be provided and for whom the e-books are intended. Originality/value This research shows that Generation Z in choosing a reading format will be influenced by the intention of using the reading format, whereas the intention is influenced by the attitude in determining the reading format.

Election administrative violations occur at the time of the implementation of the general election by election organizers and contestants. Sometimes, they do not realize that they have committed a violation. Since the general election during the reformation period after the fall of the New Order in Indonesia, there have been frequent violations of election administration resolved through administrative courts through the State Administrative Court. The dispute resolution was carried out after complaints were made through Bawaslu and DKPP as administrative dispute resolution (ADR) institutions and did not bring results. This administrative violation is considered detrimental to the candidate contesting the election, causing a dispute between the candidate contesting the election and the organizers of the general election. This article examines the process of resolving electoral administrative disputes in Indonesia and the judiciary's role in resolving electoral administrative disputes. Several examples of cases of election administration violations that occurred and their causes obtained through empirical studies using the technique of documenting judges' decisions that have permanent legal force at the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia were analyzed using inductive logic.

Children's social development is how early childhood interacts with peers, adults, and the broader community to adapt. Parents and the environments are figures or models closest to children and become role models for children. This study aimed to determine children's social behavior and the role of the environment on the social behavior of children aged 5-6 years in the Nusukan Surakarta railway environment. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative methods—sampling using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis technique used the Milles and Huberman model with three stages: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results show that children's social behavior in the Nusukan railway area tends to be active, but some behaviors still need guidance so that children have good social behavior. It is inseparable from family environmental factors, both parents, siblings, peers, or other adults through their environment. Child development is strongly influenced by treatment or parental guidance for children in recognizing various aspects of social life or norms of social life. Social behavior is closely related to children's behavior in adjusting to the rules of society in the surrounding environment. Children obtain social behavior through maturity and learning opportunities from various stimuli provided by their environment.

BACKGROUND: As many as, 45% of orphaned children and adolescents living in orphanages experience behavioral and emotional problems. Several literature reviews on the intervention of emotional and behavioral problems in orphan children and adolescents have been widely conducted. However, there is paucity in the reviews of emotional and behavioral problem interventions in the orphan group based on the type of group approach used in published articles. AIM: This study aimed to synthesize the results on the interventions of emotional and behavioral problems in orphan children and adolescents aged 7–20 years who live in institutions or orphanages. METHODS: This research was a scoping review. This review used three databases comprising PubMed, Science Direct, and Wiley Library Online. The inclusion criteria were experimental research designs and cohort studies, published in the 2009–2019, discussed emotional and behavioral problem’s intervention in orphan, and written in English. The exclusion criteria were that the research subjects had severe mental and psychosocial disorders such as autism, mental retardation, and mental disorders. The authors used three categories of keywords; the first keyword and its synonym were “intervention, treatment.” The second keyword focused on behavioral problems, which was “behavioral difficulties,” and the third keyword focuses on population and place, “orphan, institutions orphans, orphanages.” The article selection stage is described in detail in the flow diagram of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. The critical appraisal stage used the checklist from Joanna Briggs Institute. RESULTS: Ten articles were found and selected for review. The main emotional and behavioral problems experienced by orphan children and adolescents include depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, feelings of anger, and trauma. Other problems related, functional disorders, life satisfaction, the probability of suicide, and early (prodromal) symptoms of psychosis, also arise. There were six types of interventions given to overcome emotional and behavioral problems in orphan children and adolescents, but the interventions that are most often given are cognitive therapy, educational support, complementary, and alternative medicine. The approaches in groups that are often used in this review are the support group and the teaching-learning group. The combination of two or more approaches in one intervention can increase the success or effectiveness in overcoming emotional and behavioral problems. CONCLUSIONS: Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling anger, and trauma are main problems for orphans. To address these emotional and behavior problems, it is necessary to combine several interventions and a combination of group-based approaches.

Much waste cooking oil (WCO) is still discarded even though it can be processed into more valuable products, such as dishwashing liquid soap. The quality of dishwashing liquid soap made from WCO is influenced by the method used, the concentration of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and the adsorption material used. Variations of these three variables produce different qualities. Soap quality is measured based on PH, free alkalis and fatty acids produced. This study uses an experimental design to produce the best combination. The results of the combination will be checked for conformity with the quality standards of SNI 06-2048-1990. The best treatment combination is the cold method, 22.5% KOH concentration, activated carbon purification material with a pH value of 9.00, 0.05 free alkalis, and 0.32 free fatty acids. The soap products produced are in accordance with Indonesian quality standards and generate profits economically.

The family is the smallest unit of society that affects the lives of drug users undergoing rehabilitation programs. Family can be a source of social support for substance users in solving problems through perception. The perception of family support is a source of social support to foster confidence in drug rehabilitation programs. This study aims to determine the level of family support for substance users undergoing drug rehabilitation programs and recommendations for individual, group, and family counselling services. This study used a descriptive research type with the subject N = 217. The research subjects consisted of male and female genders; the data analysis used quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the category of substance users' perceptions of family support had a low level. The types of users at a deficient level were 2.30%, the low level was 57.14%, the high level was 33.18%, and the very high level was 7.37%. These findings prove that the family's influence is still very minimal for users to recover during rehabilitation. The contribution of family perceptions supports beliefs about recovering from drug addiction. The addiction counsellor profession from guidance and counselling graduates needs to implement family counselling services in collaboration with families in developing perceptions of drug addicts. Recommendations from this study's results are the implementation of family counselling services and support from families in concrete, emotional, informational, and reward.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of macroeconomic and non-macroeconomic determinants of capital flight. Research design, data and methodology: With five determinants, this survey was conducted by Eviews 10, and the ordinary least squares (OLS) as a statistical method was applied for examining the research hypothesis. The five determinants are a budget deficit, economic growth, inflation rate, the exchange rate, and sovereign rating. The capital flight measurement uses the World Bank residual approach. The data derive from the Central Bank of Indonesia, BPS-Statistics Indonesia, OECD, and Moody’s Investor Service. Results: The result considers that economic growth, the exchange rate, and the sovereign rating will decrease capital flight. In addition, the budget deficit and the inflation rate will increase capital flight. The sovereign rating decreases capital flight bigger than the other determinants. In addition, the exchange rate is statistically significant. Conclusions: The most influential problem of capital flight in Indonesia is because of non-macroeconomics factor political issue, corruption, bad regulation, and others. That’s why the investment climate in Indonesia is still not secure. We propose that the regime would have to amend the business rule for reducing capital, raising the investment climate, and demonstrating the creative industry.

Ecological divergence alone can prevent the majority of gene flow in the absence of other forms of reproductive isolation. Although the importance of ecological divergence in promoting reproductive isolation has been broadly recognized, its net impact on speciation has rarely been estimated in the wild. The phytophagous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna diekei Jadwiszczak & Wegrzynowicz includes two sympatric host races that are reproductively isolated solely by extreme specialization to either of the host plants Mikania micrantha Kunth (Asteraceae) or Leucas lavandulifolia Sm. (Lamiaceae) in West Java, Indonesia. To investigate the impact of differential host use as an isolating barrier, we carried out adult host acceptance tests and molecular population genetic analyses based on mitochondrial ND2 and nucleic ITS2 gene sequences using 13 wild populations of the host races, including four sympatric population pairs. Almost all individuals of these host races persistently accepted only the original host plant. We detected restricted but a degree of gene flow between these host races. A migration event occurred only in very recent time compared to their divergence time, indicating recent secondary contact of these host races in the surveyed area. These results reveal the remarkably large impact of host‐plant shift over almost the entire process of speciation and illustrate that ecological divergence has been maintained even under the presence of a certain degree of gene flow.

This study aims to know the relationship between the intimate friendship with self-disclosure. The hypothesis in this study is there is a positive relationship between self-disclosure with intimate friendship, in assumption that the higher self-disclosure, the higher intimate friendship is and the lower self-disclosure, then the lower intimate friendship itself.

The data analysis was carried out in a descriptive-reflective-introspective way with the perspective of Islamic psychology. The results of the study show that in terms of the number and composition of the strengths of character and values of virtue developed by positive psychology and the psychology of Islamic education, which in this case is represented by the thoughts of Ibn Miskawaih and Imam Al-Ghazali, are not significantly different. There is little difference between the strength of the character of positive psychology and the psychology of Islamic education. The difference is that there is a middle point or middle way in the thoughts of Ibn Miskawaih and Imam Al-Ghazali. The shari'ah commands this midpoint or middle path; the goal is to achieve an intermediate path to all the qualities and qualities of virtue; if it deviates towards one of the two extremes, then it must be corrected. These findings can provide a valuable contribution to guidance and counseling services through strengthening character and virtue in the current era of global communication.

Background: The high turnover rate in the healthcare industry needs serious attention since it influences hospital service quality. So, there is a need to develop a new framework known as people equity, that can be used to manage intangible assets and reduce employees’ intention to leave. The purpose of this study therefore was to develop a model of people equity as a strategy for enhancing employees’ intention to stay. Design and methods: An analytical cross-sectional design was used to measure the associations between variables. 154 respondents were selected from stratified random sampling technique. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the measurement model. Results: The results indicated that people equity was influenced by organizational factors (P=0.210), individual factors (P=0.183), and occupational factors (P=0.141). In addition to this, predictors for employees’ intention to stay were people equity (P=0.432), individual factors (P=0.308), and environmental factors (P=0.117). Conversely, working and marital status, environment, and workload have no significant effect on people equity and intention to stay. Conclusions: People equity was influenced by organizational, individual, and occupational factors through the implementation of the Human Resources System. People equity model increased employees’ intention to stay by improving organizational factors. Significance for public health High turnover rates decrease overall productivity in a hospital indirectly and it leads to other financial losses because of the additional costs of recruiting new employees. Managing human capital is not easy as the hospital must improve the organizational learning process, employees’ skills, and provide a positive work environment. Limited studies explained about human capital in private hospital. This study analyzes people equity model as a strategy for enhancing employees' intention to stay in private hospital.

At this time, the implementation of neutrality for government employees are still use the legalistic approach. It doesn’t mean that this approach is problematic, but its not relevan when this approach is a self-implementing. That's why the policy is required by casuistry and situational approach, which means that the rule become the basis of law enforcement, while the case resolved by the consideration of the situation and the real reason that occur in the field. In this regard, the government should set standards, procedures and clear criteria against violations of neutrality as a basis for the imposition of penalties that are scalable and doesn’t have a double standard. Thats why its necessary to have institution that independent, objective and transparent. Keywords: Legal Policy, Neutrality, Law enforcement.

This study is exploratory in nature and tries to explain buying consumer behavior of environmental friendly product.

This research aims to determine the amount of effects by variables in the implementation of Total QualityManagement consisting of:focuses on consumers, sustainable improvement, management commitment, training, employee empowering, performance comparison, and use of simultaneous statistic equipment on quality culture. The research method uses type of explanatory research with quantitative approach because it tries to describe inter-variable correlation through hypothesis testing, meanwhile in general, the data used are in the form of number calculated by statistic test. Results of the research are (a) Simultaneously the variables in the implementation of TotalQuality Management are able to describe the effects on the quality culture variable by 63,5%, meanwhile the remaining is described or influenced by other independent variables beyond the research model equation. Inter-variable correlation in the implementation of TotalQuality Management on the quality culture is quite strong (b) There are significant effects between variables in the implementation of Total QualityManagement consisting of focuses on employee, management commitment, training, employee empowering, and use of statistic devices partially on quality culture variable, meanwhile the sustainable improvement and performance comparison do not influence significantly on quality culture variable. Thus, the second hypothesis of this research is rejected (c) The training variable provides dominant effects on the quality culture variable. Thus the third hypothesis of this research is rejected.

Tuntang Village cracker craftsmen in Semarang Regency must answer the challenges in developing healthy products and supporting cracker fans. The culture of adding additives make chewy ingredients which at the last time makes crackers when eaten is considered to be one of the stages of the process that must be done. Bleng is a choice for additive material because prices are cheap and easy to buy on traditional markets. Chronic health threats for consumers due to additives in material adding have become neglected by cracker craftsmen. One of the causes is the characteristics of cracker craftsmen who mostly have low levels of education but have a long business experience. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a strategy of proper knowledge transfer process among cracker craftsmen through laboratory analysis evidence associated with the resulting health impacts and a persuasive approach to encourage transfer of safer than Borax-rich bleng with STPP (Sodium Tripolyphospate). In addition to awareness-raising of additive material also carried out taste diversification counseling so that it can increase sales value. Price changes occur from crackers using bleng additive from Rp. 13,000/kg to Rp. 35,000/Kg as healty and various taste choices of products.

Divergent natural selection on different host plants may be a crucial factor in promoting the remarkable diversity of phytophagous insects, and might occur in any geographical context. Because the intensity and consequences of divergent selection on different hosts can vary depending on the degree of gene flow between conspecific insect populations, elucidating the geographical context and degree of host specificity in the incipient phase of differential host use is indispensable to understanding the diversification process in phytophagous insects. Henosepilachna diekei Jadwiszczak & Węgrzynowicz (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a tropical ladybird beetle occurring mainly on two host species from different plant families, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. We investigated the geographical distribution of H. diekei across Java, Indonesia, in relation to the availability of the two hosts, and examined the host specificity of beetles in the laboratory. We also investigated genetic relationships among local populations of beetles using mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene sequences. Geographic variation in host use by H. diekei was largely determined by skewed geographical distributions of the hosts, although there was a synergistic effect with extremely divergent host specificity by the beetles. The molecular analyses suggested that genetic differentiation among the beetle populations has occurred and has been maintained by the effects of both geographical distance and divergent host specificity. The geographical distribution of H. diekei populations differing in host specificity suggests that geographical distance, local host-plant availability, and divergent host specificity contribute synergistically to promote the genetic differentiation and subsequent diversification of phytophagous insects on different hosts.
