This study aims to analyze the ratio legis and suitability of supervision punishment arrangement with the purpose of punishment, as well as to compare it with the practice in other countries, especially the Netherlands. Using normative legal research method with a comparative approach, this research examines primary legal materials in the form of the new Criminal Code, as well as secondary legal materials from trusted literature and legal journals. The result shows that supervision punishment is an effort to transform the paradigm of punishment from retributive to restorative, corrective, and rehabilitative justice. The regulation of supervision punishment in Article 65-77 of the Criminal Code aims to prevent criminal acts, socialize the perpetrators through coaching, and resolve conflicts by restoring social balance. In addition, comparative analysis shows that the implementation of supervision punishment in the Netherlands, through the Probation Service institution, has succeeded in reducing the occupancy rate of correctional institutions, encouraging social reintegration, and saving operational costs. In conclusion, supervision punishment in Indonesia offers a more humanist alternative to imprisonment, by emphasizing on offender rehabilitation and community protection. This reform reflects the modernization of criminal law that is more responsive to the needs of society, and supports the achievement of just and effective punishment objectives. This research recommends strengthening supporting infrastructure, such as social and psychological services, to optimize the implementation of supervision punishment.</p> Dika Agusta, Abdul Madjid, Nurini Aprilianda Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/434 Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0700 In-Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Eggplant (Epicarp Solanum Melongena L) Skin Extract on Aflatoxin-B1-Induced Rats https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/439 <p>Eggplant skin is the outer part of the eggplant fruit (Solanum Melongena L) which has therapeutic activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant potential of ethanol extract of eggplant skin through phytochemical analysis, antioxidant activity through ABTS and DPPH examination by assessing IC50, and its effect on oxidative stress-related enzymes in aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced rats such as MDA, LPO-4HNE, and evaluating SOD levels in rat serum. The results showed that ethanol extract of eggplant peel has significant antioxidant activity in radical scavenging activity. The antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of eggplant skin in ABTS and DPPH methods showed IC50 values with strong antioxidant potential. In the In-Vivo test, aubergine skin ethanol extract showed a good protective effect against oxidative stress with decreased MDA and LPO-4HNE levels, and increased SOD activity in AFB1-induced rats. The optimal dose of aubergine skin ethanol extract in this study is the treatment with a dose of 600mg/kgBB, which gives the best results in reducing MDA and LPO-4HNE levels, and increasing SOD activity close to the neutral group.</p> Gladys Chintya Darma, Chrismis Novalinda Ginting, Linda Chiuman, Jeri Yuliansyah, Muhammad Nawal Hasya Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/439 Wed, 26 Feb 2025 13:52:42 +0700 The Influence of E-Wom and Hospital Image on Patient Satisfaction and Loyalty at General Hospital Royal Prima Medan https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/441 <p>Hospitals face the challenge of change by building marketing strategies through electronic word of mouth (E-WOM) and strengthening hospital image to increase public trust, which is expected to encourage the intention of reuse of health services.

(A Review Based on the Theory of Harm) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/431 <p>Predatory pricing competition through e-commerce platforms has become a specific concern in the digital era. Predatory pricing refers to the practice of setting prices below standard to "eliminate or destroy" competitors, which significantly impacts the market and consumers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the benchmarks for the "eliminate or destroy" threshold in predatory pricing strategies using the framework of the theory of harm. This study employs a normative juridical method, utilizing statutory, conceptual, theoretical, and case study approaches. The strength of this study lies in its provision of practical solutions to address existing issues, thereby contributing meaningfully to the field. The findings highlight the importance of the theory of harm in analyzing patterns to detect market prices that determine whether a competitor is being "eliminated" or "destroyed," which could harm the market in the digital context. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of preventing predatory pricing practices to ensure fair competition on e-commerce platforms.</p> Paris Hendra Wijaya Sinaga, Hanif Nur Widhiyanti, Yenny Eta Widyanti Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/431 Wed, 26 Feb 2025 15:44:56 +0700 The Effect of Internal Service Quality and Workload on Job Satisfaction at Royal Prima General Hospital https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/440 <p>Job satisfaction is the difference between expectations and reality of the benefits obtained at work. In general, job satisfaction reflects a person's attitude towards their work. Qualified human resources who have good performance are difficult to obtain, because job satisfaction is influenced by various factors, such as Internal Service Quality and workload. This study aims to analyze the effect of Internal Service Quality and workload on job satisfaction at RSU Royal Prima Medan. This research is a descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The study population involved 623 employees of RSU Royal Prima Medan, both medical and nonmedical. The sample was taken using systematic sampling method, with a minimum number of 185 respondents based on the calculation of 5 times the number of indicators (37 indicators). Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, and data analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. The results showed that the majority of respondents were 31-40 years old (49.2%), female (78.4%), had the latest education S1 (53.5%), and had a length of&nbsp;work of&nbsp;more than 2 years (82.7%). Bivariate analysis shows that Internal Service Quality has a significant influence on job satisfaction with a p-value of 0.000 (&lt;0.05). Similarly, workload significantly influenced job satisfaction with a p-value of 0.000 (&lt;0.05).&nbsp;Multivariate&nbsp;analysis&nbsp;shows&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;Internal&nbsp;Service&nbsp;Quality&nbsp;factor is the most dominant variable affecting job satisfaction at RSU Royal Prima Medan.&nbsp;Internal&nbsp;service&nbsp;quality&nbsp;and&nbsp;managing&nbsp;workload&nbsp;to&nbsp;improve employee job satisfaction.</p> Devi Anita Sari, Chrismis Novalinda Ginting, Sri Wahyuni Nasution Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/440 Thu, 27 Feb 2025 12:45:54 +0700 The Decentralization Dilemma: Navigating Challenges In Building The Nusantara Capital City https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/442 <p>In line with the relocation of the new capital city in the East Kalimantan region, various impacts have arisen after Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) was passed, including the holding of general elections in the new national capital area. In the provisions of Article 4 Paragraph (1) Letter b of the IKN Law, it is stated that the Nusantara Capital City Authority as a ministerial-level institution that organizes the Special Regional Government of the Nusantara Capital City, and Article 5 Paragraph (4) of the IKN Law which states that the Head of the Nusantara Capital Authority is the head of the Nusantara Capital Special Regional Government with a ministerial position, appointed and dismissed by the President after consulting with the House of Representatives. Article 13 of the IKN Law explains several things related to elections, including first, in the IKN area, only national elections will be held, namely the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections, the election of members of the House of Representatives, and the DPD. Second, there must be a rearrangement of the electoral districts and the allocation of seats in the DPRD in the areas affected by this regulation. The implications will affect local politics, democracy, community representation of their representatives, and the most basic is their constitutional rights as citizens. It is certain that there is no local representation in the representative political system like today.</p> <p>The purpose of this study is to analyze the contradiction between the application of the principle of decentralization and the concept of government in the IKN area due to the absence of the DPRD. This study uses a type of normative legal research using a Legislative Approach and a Conceptual Approach. As for the results of this study, the implications for the concept of government in the IKN area with the absence of a DPRD will be very influential in the local government management system in Indonesia.</p> Dandi Wijaya, Dhia Al Uyun, Shinta Hadiyantina Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/442 Wed, 05 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0700 An Examination of Human Rights Related to the Protection of Debtor Customer Data and Information Through Bank Secrecy Rules https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/389 <p>This research aims to examine and analyse how the protection of debtor customer data and information in the perspective of human rights. The research method used is legal research with a statutory approach, philosophical approach and conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the protection of debtor customer data and information is by implementing bank secrecy rules. However, the rules of bank secrecy in Indonesia are inadequate, because the scope of protection is narrow, covering only depositing customers and deposits of depositing customers. This has violated the rights of debtor customers. Data and information protection is part of personal data protection, which is part of human rights. Personal data protection has been recognised globally in the UDHR and ICCPR. In the Indonesian legal order, personal data protection is a reflection of the 2nd Precept of Pancasila and is protected in the constitution, human rights law and personal data protection law. Indonesia is a rule of law that applies the concept of balance in human rights, therefore the recognition of the right of debtor customers to obtain data and information protection must be carried out in a balanced manner. In this case, there is a balance between the recognition of the right to customer privacy and the obligation to respect the rights of the public regarding the disclosure of information that is the object of bank secrets when there are urgent interests that must take precedence. This concept is in line with the Utilitarian theory of natural law.</p> Erma Defiana Putriyanti, Abdul Rachmad Budiono, Sukarmi Sukarmi, Reka Dewantara Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/389 Wed, 05 Mar 2025 09:16:49 +0700 Effect of Seedling Ages and Generations on The Morphology and Productivity of Tropical Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv Kacang Ratu BW) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/416 <p>The productivity of ruminant livestock is highly dependent on the availability of quality forage feed that meets their needs. Alfalfa is palatable&nbsp;and rich in nutrients, minerals and vitamins that livestock may require. This study aimed to investigate the effect of age of tropical alfalfa seedlings and generations on the morphology and productivity of tropical alfalfa (<em>Medicago sativa </em>L. cv Kacang Ratu BW). The research design is <em>Completely Randomized Design </em>using 2 × 2 with two factorial and three replications. Evaluation of the effect of seedling ages (1 month and 2 months) and generations (F2 and F3) on plant growth (height of plants, branches, and leaves of plants) and productivity were recorded. The differences between treatments were continued, analysis with <em>Duncan’s Multiple Range Test</em> is used. The result showed that seedling ages in 2 months produced the highest plant productivity (P&lt;0,05). Among the generations tested, F3 emerged as the top plant productivity (P&lt;0,05). Plants productivity consisted of height of plants, number of branches, number of leaves. The study concluded that planting alfalfa seedlings at two months old significantly influences plant height and leaf count, resulting in better overall growth. However, the influence of generation, specifically F3, affects plant height. The number of branches does not significantly affect either seedling age or generation.</p> Laras Kharunisa, Zidna Ilma Salsabila, Ricky Juniardi, Andriyani Astuti, Bambang Suwignyo Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/416 Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:33:57 +0700 The Impact of Work-Life Balance on Employee Performance and Satisfaction in Start-Up Companies https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/390 <p>As of January 11, 2024, Indonesia has 2,566 startups, ranking sixth in the world and first in Southeast Asia. Startups in Indonesia focus on technological innovation with the goal of rapid growth, often funded by venture capital or crowdfunding. Despite facing financial challenges and competition, startups have the potential to disrupt industries. However, they also face challenges in maintaining operational balance and employee well-being, which impacts performance and satisfaction. The aim of this research is to analyze the extent to which the balance between work and personal life affects employee performance and satisfaction in startup companies. This study uses a quantitative method with data collection through questionnaires. The population of the study consists of employees from startup company X, with a sample selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 100 respondents. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS for statistical analysis and hypothesis testing to present objective and accurate research results. The findings show that work-life balance positively influences employee performance and satisfaction in startup companies. Employees who are able to balance work and personal life tend to be more productive and satisfied, as this balance reduces stress, increases motivation, and improves well-being. Therefore, startup companies need to create an environment that supports work-life balance to enhance employee performance and satisfaction.</p> Dony Ari Nugroho Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/390 Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:22:15 +0700 Early Development Of The Tetra Cardinalfish: Paracheirodon Axelrodi Schultz 1956 https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/417 <p><em>Cardinal tetra, Paracheirodon axelrodi, merupakan ikan hias yang populer di Indonesia dan mancanegara.

The learning process includes selecting appropriate stories, delivering stories with interesting techniques, and providing opportunities for students to retell in front of the class. The results showed that the storytelling method significantly improved students' confidence, speaking fluency, and ability to convey messages systematically and expressively. In addition, students became more skillful in using intonation, body language, and facial expressions, which are important elements in public speaking. Evaluation was conducted through observations, interviews, and discussions to understand the impact of this method on student development. The conclusion of this study is that the storytelling method is proven to be effective in improving students' public speaking skills. Therefore, this study provides recommendations for teachers to implement this method sustainably as part of an innovative and fun learning strategy.</p> <p>Keywords: <em>Speaking Skills, Storytelling Method, Learning, Classroom Action Research, Student Self-Confidence</em></p> Restu Fadlyka, Hemawati Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Islamic Education, Research and Multiculturalism (IJIERM) https://journal.yaspim.org/index.php/IJIERM/article/view/449 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 07:59:55 +0700
