The Application of Article 87 of Law Number 30 of 2014 on Government Administration in State Administrative Court Decisions Related to Medical Disputes

Arga Setyo Adji — 2025-08-06

Medical disputes often arise from disagreements in healthcare services involving medical personnel, such as doctors and nurses, which may lead to patient injuries or death. Article 87 of Law No. 30 of 2014 provides a legal basis for courts to annul administrative decisions that are legally flawed or involve abuse of authority, thereby protecting medical personnel from unfair sanctions. This study employs a normative method with a statutory approach and finds that: 1) Article 87 offers significant legal protection for medical personnel; 2) This article promotes transparency and accountability in administrative decisions within the healthcare sector; 3) The implementation of Article 87 also safeguards patients' rights by ensuring decisions are examined fairly and transparently; 4) The application of Article 87 principles contributes to improving the quality of healthcare services by encouraging objective and professional administrative decisions.

Gaya Bahasa Kepemimpinan Kepala Sekolah dalam Meningkatkan Kinerja Guru di SMA Negri 1 Maluku Tengah

Runi La Ande — 2025-08-06

Penelitian ini secara khusus menelaah pengaruh gaya bahasa kepemimpinan kepala sekolah terhadap peningkatan kinerja guru di SMA Negeri 1 Maluku Tengah. Menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi partisipatif, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepala sekolah mengadopsi tiga pola komunikasi utama—fleksibel-kontekstual, tegas-konstruktif, dan motivasional—yang berkontribusi langsung terhadap kinerja guru. Gaya komunikasi yang adaptif memudahkan penyampaian pesan sesuai situasi, sementara kritik yang disampaikan secara konstruktif mampu memotivasi guru untuk memperbaiki kinerja tanpa menimbulkan tekanan psikologis. Pemberian pujian, apresiasi verbal, dan arahan yang jelas terbukti meningkatkan semangat kerja, kedisiplinan, serta partisipasi aktif guru dalam tugas profesional. Validasi melalui triangulasi data memperkuat korelasi positif antara gaya bahasa kepala sekolah dan peningkatan kinerja guru, baik dalam aspek teknis mengajar maupun hubungan interpersonal di sekolah. Meskipun terdapat tantangan dalam keterbukaan komunikasi strategis, hasil penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan pola komunikasi partisipatif dan empatik sebagai strategi utama dalam membangun budaya kolaboratif dan mendukung peningkatan kinerja guru secara berkelanjutan.

Ika Yuli Wahyuni — 2025-08-09

This study investigates the effectiveness of storytelling training in enhancing the speaking skills of first-year students in the English Education Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The research was motivated by a survey of senior students, which revealed that 15.8% were still at the A1 level and 35.3% at the A2 level of the CEFR, indicating persistent challenges in speaking confidence and performance, particularly in formal academic contexts. The study involved 14 participants selected randomly to represent each first-year class. Data were collected through a post-training perception survey using closed-ended questionnaires covering aspects of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension, clarity, and speaking confidence. The results showed that all participants perceived improvements in their speaking abilities, with the highest agreement (100%) observed in vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence, followed by pronunciation (92.9%), clarity (92.9%), and fluency (85.7%). These findings suggest that storytelling can serve as an effective strategy for improving both the linguistic and affective aspects of speaking in EFL contexts. The study concludes that storytelling is a valuable pedagogical tool that should be integrated into the early stages of English language teacher education.

The Relationship of Self Forgiveness with Well Being Psychology in Female Prisoners in Banyuwangi Correctional Facility in 2024

Ervia Toga — 2025-08-30

Female inmates often face intense emotional stress due to guilt, shame, and social stigma for the actions they have committed. Continuous emotional stress will affect the psychological well-being of inmates. If inmates have poor psychological well-being, it will affect their productivity. Psychological well-being in inmates can be improved by applying the concept of self-forgiveness. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-forgiveness and psychological well-being in female inmates. This study is a quantitative correlative study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample used was 45 female inmates selected using the total sampling method. The independent variable in this study is self-forgiveness, and the dependent variable is psychological well-being. The instruments used were the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) questionnaires. The collected data were then analyzed using Spearman Rank in IBM SPSS Statistics v.26. The respondents' levels of self-forgiveness and psychological well-being and 27 (60.0%) respondents of the Spearman Rank analysis showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.045 (<0.05), meaning there is a significant relationship between self-forgiveness and psychological well-being in female inmates in Banyuwangi Prison. The results of this study have important implications for prisoner rehabilitation programs. Interventions focusing on increasing self-forgiveness, such as gratitude or empathy-based counseling and therapy, can help inmates achieve better psychological well-being.
