Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the manner in which the life philosophy of nekaf mese ansaof mese is employed to enhance cultural relations and the identity of the Atoin Meto i</em><em>n the Sacato-Wini region. This study used a qualitative method with a literature approach and in-depth interviews. </em><em>The results indicated that the value of nekaf mese ansaof mese </em><em>is internalized through social practices such as gotong royong (hena loak), customary deliberation (nifuni), and cultural rituals (el'ana, ela'naek, pah banu</em><em>). These practices foster solidarity, peaceful conflict resolution, and reconciliation among diverse identities. Furthermore, this value serves to reinforce the spiritual connection that exists between humans, nature, and the Transcendent. Consequently, Nekaf Mese Ansaof Mese is instrumental in fostering inclusive intercultural relations and fortifying local and national identities in the context of globalization and the challenges posed by modernity.</em></p>2025-06-12T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Francisco da Costa, Augusto Almeida da Silva, Ajito Abel Anjos Turkel, Arjito da Silva, Bartolomeo do Santos Lasi, Cristalino da Costa Marçal, Tunito Pereira, Siprianus Soleman Senda, Yohanes Subani, Oktovianus Naifhttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4008Interaksi Sosial Anak di Era Digital Hubungan Penggunaan Gadget dengan Interaksi Sosial pada Usia Sekolah Dasar2025-01-25T13:36:22+00:00Ni Luh Putu Mediarigekmedi01@gmail.comNi Komang Ayu Resiyanthiputumediari@gmail.comPutu Gede Subhaktiyasaputumediari@gmail.com<p><em>The use of technology, including gadgets, is one of the characteristics of a country's progress. However, excessive gadget use in children can affect their social interactions, such as reducing physical play time, increasing antisocial behavior, and reducing social interaction skills. This study aims to analyze the relationship between gadget use and social interaction in elementary school-aged children. The method used was quantitative with a descriptive correlational design. The sample of this study consisted of 97 students in grades IV-VI who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate analysis to determine frequency distribution and bivariate analysis with the Spearman Rank test to test the relationship between variables. The results showed that 52 people (53.6%) of respondents had gadget use in the poor category, while 70 people (72.2%) had social interaction in the low category. The results of the Spearman Rank test showed a correlation value of ρ-value = <0.001 < α 0.05 with a value of r = 0.347, which indicates a low correlation with a positive direction. This finding suggests that non-optimal gadget use contributes to low social interaction in school-age children. Therefore, wise management of gadget use needs to be implemented to support children's social interaction. </em></p>2025-06-12T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Ni Luh Putu Mediari, Ni Komang Ayu Resiyanthi, Putu Gede Subhaktiyasahttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4558Analisis Yuridis Hukuman Mati Terhadap Pelaku Korupsi Dana Covid-19 Dalam Perpektif HAM2025-06-20T03:04:45+00:00Sri Ridma Ramadhanisri.ridma@youcb.ac.idMuhammad Fikri Aufasri.ridma@youcb.ac.idMieke Aprilia Utamisri.ridma@youcb.ac.idIchwan Ahnaz Alamudisri.ridma@youcb.ac.idSri Erlianisri.ridma@youcb.ac.id<p><em>Every action taken by humans will always have consequences. If the action taken is a bad action and has an impact on others, then this action will result in sanctions. This results in the need for clear rules made by the government in a country, in order to create harmony in society in the nation and state. Indonesia, although it allows the death penalty for perpetrators of crimes stated in Article 11 of the Criminal Code, including corruption, in fact the death penalty is very rarely carried out in Indonesia, one of the reasons for the rare death penalty is that people still think about human rights. This study aims to analyze the death penalty for perpetrators of corruption of the Covid-19 pandemic funds in terms of human rights. This research is a juridical-normative type of research, namely legal research conducted by the method of reviewing library materials. Giving the death penalty to corruptors is very appropriate because it can be used as shock therapy because psychologically corruptors who are sentenced can be used as an example to influence other parties not to commit corruption. The results of the study revealed a discrepancy between the harsh legal basis and the commitment to human rights principles in the Indonesian legal system. In addition, the failure to apply the death penalty to corruptors of pandemic funds was influenced by various factors, such as the direction of legal policy taken by the government, pressure from the international community, and the low integrity of law enforcement officers. This study concludes that the threat of the death penalty has not been able to function effectively as a deterrent because it is not accompanied by consistent law enforcement. Therefore, this study contributes to the discourse on reforming corruption criminalization policies by emphasizing the need for a balance between the values of justice, humanity, and legal effectiveness.</em></p>2025-07-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Sri Ridma Ramadhani, Muhammad Fikri Aufa, Mieke Aprilia Utami, Ichwan Ahnaz Alamudi, Sri Erlianihttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4501The Urgency of Artificial Intelligence Regulation in Indonesia’s Criminal Justice2025-06-11T05:23:09+00:00Yaoma Tertibiyaoma.tertibi@gmail.com<p>The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in criminal justice systems presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly regarding ethics, transparency, and accountability. This study aims to analyze the urgency of regulating AI in Indonesia’s criminal justice system. Using a normative-analytical approach, the research explores the risks of algorithmic bias, data privacy violations, and the absence of human oversight in legal decision-making. Comparative analysis with AI regulations in the European Union and the United States highlights key regulatory gaps in Indonesia. The findings reveal that without clear and enforceable legal frameworks, AI implementation may worsen legal inequalities and undermine human rights. This study underscores the need for a national legal framework that ensures algorithmic transparency, data protection, and human involvement in AI-driven decisions. The research offers an early contribution to the development of responsible and equitable AI governance in the justice sector.</p>2025-07-22T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Yaoma Tertibihttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4699Analisis Potensi Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) di Wilayah Geografis Laut Barat Sumatera2025-07-16T12:14:51+00:00Kevin Sahat Parsauliansahatkevin@gmail.comAfif Asykar Amirafif.asykar@gmail.comAndit Zelly Gunawananditzelly@gmail.com<p><em>Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is an emerging marine renewable energy technology that exploits the natural temperature gradient between warm surface seawater and cold deep-sea water to generate electricity. This thermal energy potential is especially significant in tropical regions such as Indonesia, where oceanographic conditions are favorable. The West Sumatra Sea, bordering the Indian Ocean, is identified as a promising site for OTEC development due to its consistently high surface temperatures and considerable bathymetric depth. This study aims to assess the monthly vertical and horizontal temperature distributions, evaluate the seasonal variations, and calculate the theoretical efficiency of OTEC systems in the region. Ocean temperature data were sourced from the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) and analyzed using Ocean Data View (ODV) software. Results indicate that surface water temperatures range between 29.3°C and 30.57°C, while deep-sea temperatures at 600 meters depth remain around 8.96°C. The average vertical temperature difference (∆T) throughout the year is approximately 21°C, satisfying the minimum threshold for OTEC viability. The thermocline layer is located between 40 and 77 meters, while deep water extends beyond 900 meters. The calculated average Carnot efficiency is 0.70, indicating a strong theoretical potential for energy conversion. Seasonal analysis also shows stable ∆T values during transitional monsoon periods, suggesting year-round operational feasibility. These findings confirm that the oceanographic characteristics of the West Sumatra Sea support the sustainable development of OTEC technology and highlight its strategic potential in contributing to Indonesia’s renewable energy transition.</em></p>2025-09-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Kevin Sahat Parsaulian, Afif Asykar Amir, Andit Zelly Gunawanhttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4747Racial and Cultural Identity in Chinese Peranakan Literature2025-08-17T12:48:38+00:00Cahyaningrum Dewojaticahyaningrum@gmail.comLidwina Putu Gratia Ekaristicahyaningrum@ugm.ac.id<p>The diversity of Indonesia's identity and culture as a heterogeneous country cannot be separated from the character of the Indonesian nation, which has been inclusive from the start. The Chinese, Arab, Indian, and European diaspora during the colonial period made Indonesia's big cities a melting pot where various ethnicities, races, and cultures met. Authors, including Peranakan Chinese, were generally educated people. Their writing reflects the dialectics and dynamics between cultures, both from the Peranakan Chinese community and the native people, Europeans, Arabs, or other ethnic groups that form the background of the stories. This is also represented in one of the Chinese Peranakan literary works, <em>Cerita Satu Ibu Tiri yang Pinter Ajar Anak </em>(1913), which will be used as a material object in this research. The drama text describes the dynamics of community life, cultural friction, social conflict, and issues of ethnicity/race during the Dutch colonial period. This research aims to narrate the dynamics of multiethnic cultures that coexisted in Indonesia during the colonial period in literary works. Qualitative descriptive methods are used to explain the data found. They will describe the identity of multiethnic communities who maintained their respective identities, traditions, and cultures during the Dutch colonial period.</p>2025-09-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Cahyaningrum Dewojati, Lidwina Putu Gratia Ekaristihttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4748Gambaran Sosial Ekonomi Etnis Tionghoa Dalam Arsip Peninggalan Sultan Syarif Kasim II (1915-1945)2025-08-17T12:47:13+00:00Iik Idayantiidayanti1@gmail.comDeni Afriadiiik.idayanti@unilak.ac.idRidwan Ridwaniik.idayanti@unilak.ac.idHermansyah Hermansyahiik.idayanti@unilak.ac.id<p><em>This research discusses the socio-economic depiction of the Chinese ethnic group as recorded in the archives left by Sultan Syarif Kasim II (1915-1945). The Chinese ethnic group has been settled in the Siak region since the late 19th century, as evidenced by the existence of the Hock Siu Kiong temple located not far from the Siak palace. One of the sources of writing about Chinese activities can be found in the form of archival notes. The archives used are the legacy of Sultan Syarif Kasim II. Out of sixty thousand archives, there are 11,423 digital archives that the researcher obtained and processed, resulting in 57 archives concerning the Chinese ethnic group. The method used in this research is historical. The purpose of this research is to describe the socio-economic picture of the Chinese ethnic group in the archives of Sultan Syarif Kasim II. The research findings indicate that out of eight determining factors for the social economic status of individuals in society, three factors are present in the archives, namely type of occupation, position in an organization, and economic activities.</em></p>2025-09-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Iik Idayanti, Deni Afriadi, Ridwan Ridwan, Hermansyah Hermansyahhttps://jayapanguspress.penerbit.org/index.php/metta/article/view/4778Romantisme Muh.

However, paragraph (2) of the same article provides an exception by allowing polygamy under certain conditions, raising the impression of normative inconsistency. This research focuses on analyzing the existence of the monogamy principle in relation to the practice of polygamy from the perspective of legal politics. The study employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and historical approaches. The findings indicate that, from a legal standpoint, polygamy is not entirely contradictory to the monogamy principle as long as it complies with legal requirements, namely: (1) the wife is unable to fulfill her marital duties, (2) the wife suffers from a physical disability or incurable disease, or (3) the wife is unable to bear children. Beyond these conditions, polygamy is not justified and is considered contrary to the principle of monogamy. From a legal-political perspective, monogamy remains the primary principle, while polygamy is recognized only as a limited exception. Furthermore, in the Civil Code, monogamy is absolute, and violations may be subject to criminal sanctions under Article 279 of the Indonesian Penal Code. Thus, polygamy practiced outside the legal framework may be deemed a violation of the monogamy principle.</em></p>2025-09-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Suriyadi Suriyadi, Ichwan Ahnaz Alamudi
