Choirul Hudha — 2024-10-14

Abstract: The development of technology in post-industrial society creates a knowledge economic system, with production that is not only based on things but also intensive knowledge. The workers who rely on knowledge and skills for the centre of their activities in the knowledge economy are called cognitive workers. The cognitive workers in the knowledge economy era just paid little attention to their rights and obligations. That’s why they get unfair and fewer benefits during work and often get exploited and disadvantaged when they work. The cognitive workers who have the exploitation are called cognitariat. Therefore, this research is new, empirically and theoretically. It is about the exploitation experienced by cognitive workers. Researchers used literature studies obtained through the University of Indonesia library software (remote-lib.ui.ac.id), and search engines such as Google Scholar, Science Direct (Elsevier), JSTOR, Web of Science, and other journal directories by open access with the keyword, “cognitive worker”, “knowledge-based economy”, “exploitation in cognitive labour”, “labour in knowledge era” and “cognitariat”. The results of the research reveal that exploitation of cognitive workers because of the responsibility of work and overstepping working. Thus, the exploitations is not only based on a material, like the proletariat., but also at a supra structural basis, that’s knowledge on the cognitariat.

Exploring Juvenile Delinquency: An in-depth Analysis through the Lens of Differential Association Theory

Mutiara Jasmisari — 2024-10-14

Abstract: This study delves into the intricate dynamics of adolescent juvenile delinquency by examining the Lens of the Differential Association Theory. Focused on the unique context of adolescents at SMAN 21 Bandung, the study employs qualitative research methods to explore the multifaced relationships between differential association Dynamics and juvenile delinquency. Through in-depth analysis, including comprehensive interviews, observations, and literature reviews, the research sheds light on how adolescents learn and internalize deviant behaviours within their deviant subculture. The findings indicate that deviant behaviour develops a learning process where deviance is perceived as something. Additionally, deviant behaviour is the behaviour of fellow perpetrators in deviant subcultures, establishing an environment in which they feel secure engaging in delinquent activities since there is no one to interfere or report them. The existence of negative interactions serves as a trigger for teenagers to engage in delinquency, highlighting the need for increased supervision from parents and teachers. Furthermore, it is necessary to implement tactics to tackle teenage delinquency within educational institutions, aiming to deter their engagement in deviant behaviours.

Putra Michael Sijabat — 2024-10-14

Abstract: This article describes the research findings behind the implementation of ETLE in motorists’ understanding and the causes of motorists' non-compliance with the implementation of CCTV-based ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement) in Bengkulu City. The qualitative method uses non-participant observation techniques, interviews, triangulation and secondary data in the data collection process. Informants were determined by purposive sampling. The research data were analyzed using Robert K. Merton's functional structural theory. The results showed that the application of ETLE in the understanding of motorists in Bengkulu city is that this system is less effective. They argue that ETLE tends to be a form of excessive surveillance that is inappropriate in law enforcement. Motorists are also concerned about potential technical errors in the system that could result in unfairness or confusion in the administrative process. Meanwhile, the causes of motorist non-compliance with ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement) in Bengkulu City are the low understanding of motorists towards ETLE and the culture of neglect of motorists in ignoring this ETLE system. The importance of awareness and knowledge of the use of CCTV-based ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement) for motorists is the main focus of this topic. In addition, policymakers and law enforcement officials can take strategic steps to increase the use of CCTV-based ETLE.

Hubungan Kapitalis di Tempat Produksi yang Tersembunyi: Studi Kasus Petani Kakao Sertifikasi di Desa Piriang Tapiko

A Mappatunru — 2024-10-14

Abstract: This paper aims to depict the formation of capitalist relations in the hidden abode of production within the cocoa sector in the Village of Piriang Tapiko. The research is based on data collected from field research using an explanatory qualitative method. Employing a Marxist political economy approach, this study reveals that: (1) The presence of cocoa plants has ensnared local farmers in the village of Piriang Tapiko in commodification of subsistence. However, this entanglement does not necessarily subject them to class differentiation, as believed by some Marxist scholars. (2) Despite undergoing commodification of subsistence and full integration into market relations, cocoa farmers in the village of Piriang Tapiko can still access the market freely and control their work processes and its outcomes independently. The fertile forest land shapes their self-reliance in confronting market forces. (3) The plummeting cocoa productivity due to plant diseases has separated them from control over the means of production and their output, ensnaring them in a concealed capitalist relation as unpaid labor through outsourcing mechanisms hierarchically controlled by Nestle in the certified cocoa commodity chain. Ultimately, the formation of capitalist relations in the village of Piriang Tapiko adds a unique dimension to the trajectory of capitalism's development in diverse contexts.

The Suku Laut View of the Settlement Program in Lingga Regency

Marisa Elsera — 2024-10-15

Abstract: This research analyses the views of the Suku Laut on development policies that have resettled them from a nomadic life at sea to a sedentary life on land. The top-down development approach often does not actively involve the Suku Laut, leading to various responses. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with in-depth interviews and observations of 10 informants of the Sea Tribe in the Riau Islands. Peter L. Berger's social construction theory analyzed how social change occurs through externalization, objectivation, and internalization. Based on the research results, two main views of the Suku Laut towards development policies resulted from social construction. Both views reflect the complex dynamics of identity, access, and interaction with the new social environment. Firstly, some felt that development was not inclusive because it threatened their cultural identity, access to resources, and lack of involvement in decision-making. Secondly, some Suku Laut consider the policy sufficient to fulfill their basic needs, such as education, health, and protection from extreme weather. These different views are influenced by their living patterns, whether they are still nomadic, settled on the coast, or land. This article shows that the change from nomadic to settled life results from social construction created through the interaction of the Suku Laut with external society

Kearifan Lokal Minangkabau: Simbiosis Sosial Ekonomi Antara Pasar Nagari dengan Terminal di Sumatera Barat

Ardi Abbas — 2024-10-24

Abstract: Market and terminal are two places that can both be described as something crowded, noisy, complicated, and prone to crime. However, behind this general condition, it turns out that markets and terminals are inseparable symbiosis in the economy of cities and regions. If this symbiosis is separated, inevitably, the terminal will not develop. This is the case with several inter-provincial (AKDP) and inter-provincial (AKAP) public transportation terminals. This paper explains the relationship between the two as a socio-economic symbiosis, a Minangkabau local wisdom, and the following phenomena. It can be concluded that (a). reflecting on the planning and development of traditional markets in West Sumatra, especially the nagari market; the nagari market is crowded because one is always next to the terminal (b). local wisdom between the market and the terminal is like water and fish. Fish cannot live without water. But a terminal without a market around it is like a fish without water. This is the case in nine of the ten AKDP and AKAP terminals in West Sumatra (c). terminal construction is always located in the district's capital city, except for the Kiliran Jao terminal (Sijunjung Regency), which does not consider the location's economic, pathological, and sociological aspects. However, each development is always accompanied by a feasibility study per the Ministry of Transportation requirements.
