Objective: Globalization has a great influence on the legal system of a country, including the mining legal system. In Indonesia, Pancasila can be considered the legal basis and the source of all laws. This study aims to analyze Pancasila as a Source of Law to answer the Challenges of Globalization related to Mineral and Coal Mining Laws in Indonesia. Method: The research method used is doctrinal law. The Statute Approach examines all laws and regulations relating to legal matter. Data was collected by studying literature and conducting direct interviews with informants. Result: Generally, the legal development of mineral and coal mining in Indonesia is based on Pancasila. Mining activities must be distinct from foreign investment activities. Regarding investment, the principles of international foreign investment conventions are not under Pancasila. Conclusion: Pancasila, as the nation's basic philosophy, is open without the need to change its fundamental values to be maintained following existing developments. Thus, even though Pancasila may not be in harmony with the legal principles of international investment, as long as the executive, legislative and judicial institutions are based on Pancasila in carrying out their duties, then in the future other ideologies cannot influence Pancasila ideology.

Objetivo: El artículo se propone estudiar un caso en el pacífico colombiano en donde se relacionan la geopolítica y el desarrollo matizándose en el territorio, generando fenómenos tales como la violencia, los entramados empresariales y la cooptación del estado. Esto es analizado desde los planes de desarrollo, discursos y el contexto sociohistórico del caso de estudio desarrollado en el departamento del Cauca – Colombia desde el año 2002 al 2015.
Método: El método utilizado fue la revisión documental, partiendo de la historia de la fundación del municipio hasta documentos oficiales como planes de desarrollo del municipio en un periodo entre el 2002 al 2015 para derivar de estos los insumos analíticos de la incidencia geopolítica en el desarrollo.
Resultado: La historia oficial y real del caso de estudio permite observar gentes que emergieron de la resistencia colonial, pasando a la inserción al capital vía la productividad hasta llegar a procesos de modernización tal como la industrialización que al final logro cooptarlo managerialmente en la política, siendo los planes de desarrollo un horizonte de administración no conducentes al bienestar colectivo.
Conclusiones: Se corrobora la necesidad de abordar la geopolítica y el desarrollo para situar las condiciones por las cuales históricamente Puerto Tejada ha venido incrementando sus niveles de violencia y despojo en todas sus formas. Las actuales formas de desarrollo no consideran el futuro de los jóvenes y la calidad de vida de la población y menos el trabajo que se pueden abordar con las comunidades y familias del municipio.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to scrutinize the role of administrative law, particularly the administrative judiciary, in safeguarding the environment within the Jordanian legal framework. The study aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which the administrative judiciary exercises oversight over administrative and regulatory authorities and to delineate the legal foundations underpinning administrative liability for environmental damages. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical underpinning of this study is anchored in the jurisprudential doctrines of administrative law and environmental governance. The study explores the intricate relationship between administrative jurisprudence and ecological stewardship, particularly in Jordan's unique environmental challenges and legal landscape. It posits that the administrative judiciary serves not merely as a procedural instrument but as a substantive agent of ecological governance. Method: The methodology employed is a rigorous legal analysis, incorporating a review of Jordan's statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions relevant to environmental protection. The study also draws upon secondary sources, including scholarly articles and commentaries, to comprehensively understand the subject matter. Result and Conclusion: The study reveals that the administrative judiciary in Jordan plays a pivotal role in environmental protection. It serves a dual function: as a guardian of environmental integrity and an oversight body for administrative regulatory authorities. The study also highlights the adoption of the doctrine of strict liability in the Jordanian legal system, emphasizing its significance in holding the administration accountable for environmental harm. Research Implications: The findings of this study have far-reaching implications for the development of environmental policy and legal frameworks in Jordan. They underscore the need for a more integrated approach harmonizing administrative law principles with environmental governance objectives. This necessitates reevaluating and recalibrating existing legal mechanisms to ensure they align with sustainable development principles and ecological justice. Originality/Value: The study offers a novel contribution to the existing body of literature on environmental law in Jordan by focusing on the often-overlooked role of the administrative judiciary. It provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in environmental governance and offers a theoretical framework that could serve as a foundation for future research in this domain.

Purpose: The present study attempts to investigate work engagement, workaholism and self-efficacy towards entrepreneurial performance among the entrepreneurs of Saudi Arabia. Theoretical framework: The study integrates work engagement, workaholism, and self-efficacy in predicting job performance. Besides, the relationship between self-efficacy and work engagement in the presence of workaholism and job performance has yet to be thoroughly explored.
Design/Methodology/ Approach: The study is quantitatively based on cross-sectional data. A survey questionnaire is applied to get a response from the entrepreneurs through snowball sampling. In total, 450 survey questionnaires were distributed. In return, we received 280 with a response rate of 62%.
Findings: By employing the structural equation model (SEM), the study found a significant effect of work engagement on innovative behaviour, business growth and subjective business success. Further, self-efficacy significantly predicts innovative behaviour, business growth, subjective business success and work engagement. On the other hand, workaholism has a significant negative predictor of innovative behaviour, business growth, and subjective business success.
Research, practical and social implications: The empirical proof of the study would deepen the new insights for the conceptualization of entrepreneurship performance in a developing context. The study may fill the gaps at a global level for understanding the factors of entrepreneurship performance among entrepreneurs.
Originality/ value: The definite link between self-efficacy and work engagement may offer new insight into the entrepreneurship and management literature. The outcomes of the study offer a shred of empirical evidence for entrepreneurial performance through work engagement, workaholism and self-efficacy.

Background: This study challenges assumptions about negative relationships between ethnic Chinese and other residents, focusing on highlighting harmony in the long-term habitation of Chinese descendants in Kampung Kapitan Palembang. Emphasis is on preserving distinct cultures during adaptation. Purpose: This research explores the ethnic intermingling among Kapitan Tjoa Ham Lim's descendants in Kampung Kapitan Palembang through a cultural communication lens, aiming to understand intercultural dynamics. Theoretical Framework: Using a cultural communication perspective, the study emphasizes openness and acceptance of cultural differences in the acculturation process. Non-verbal communication is a key focus, highlighting cultural sensitivity in fostering positive relationships within diverse communities. Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative and ethnographic methods explore long-term cultural acculturation in Kampung Kapitan. The study centers on non-verbal communication, openness, and recognizing the dynamic nature of communication, culture, religion, and economics. Findings: The study reveals gradual cultural acculturation in Kampung Kapitan, facilitated by openness and acceptance, especially through non-verbal communication. Palembang becomes the dominant language, reflecting sustained interaction between Chinese descendants and locals. Acceptance of cultural diversity fosters harmonious relationships, recognizing physical traits as integral aspects of identity. Research, Practical & Social Implications: Enriching qualitative understanding, the research contributes to communication science by shedding light on motives behind ethnic intermingling and bridging differences in historically rooted communities. Practical implications include maintaining social connections within diverse communities. Originality/Value: This study challenges assumptions, provides nuanced insights into ethnic intermingling, and enhances understanding of cultural communication in historically rooted communities. Its significance in the field of communication science inspires further exploration by academics and researchers.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyse the relative importance of manufacturing SMEs' essential dynamic capabilities, namely their creative competitive advantage, product excellence, and technology acceptability. The industry's idea of dynamical properties provided the theoretical foundation for the study.
Theoretical framework: The theoretical basis is the literature on the impact that two forms of creative competitive advantage — consumer choice and innovative business structure — it has on product quality in the service of fostering long-term growth among micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Also, it looked at the role that technology adoption may play as a moderator amongst innovative financial strength and customer satisfaction.
Design/methodology/approach: Data was gathered quantitatively. Using the use of partial least squares structural equation modelling, we studied surveying information from 245 Nigerian SMEs in the manufacturing sector.
Findings: According to the findings, indicate that consumers' inclinations would not directly impact the quality of items; rather, the introduction of cutting-edge technology moderates the correlation among consumer tastes and superiority in the marketplace. There was a significant and positive relationship found among the corporate business model and product excellence, suggesting that the integration of new technology encouraged this link. In order to grow in a sustainable manner, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the industrial sector, as found in this research, would profit from a rise in customer satisfaction achieved via the introduction of innovative competitive supplementary cost approaches and technical progress.
Research, Practical & Social implications: This research aimed was to investigate how SME' long-term success is affected by factors including consumer preferences and innovative business layout (SMEs). It also looked at how the technological proliferation may affect the correlation amongst innovative capacity and customer satisfaction.
Originality/value: The study's worth lies in the additional insights it gives into the rising innovation necessary for the profitable and sustainability of businesses of all sizes.

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze metaverse application compatibility and application use intention depending on reality level of avatars and examine moderating effects of avatar-self-image identification and body ratio. Theoretical framework: The Proteus effect is the tendency for people to be affected by their digital representations, such as avatars. The Uncanny Valley effect is a hypothesized relation between an object's degree of resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to the object. Methodology: To test hypotheses, this study conducted an online and offline mixed survey to 219 respondents. To test validity and reliability of measurement tools, this study did factor analysis and reliability analysis. Hypotheses were tested with t-test and ANOVA analysis. To test mediating effects, it did mediating regression analysis. Results: The findings of data analysis were as follows. First, the lower the reality level of avatars is, the higher the higher metaverse application compatibility gets. Second, the moderating effect of avatar-self image identification was not statistically significant. Third, the moderating effect of avatar body ratio was confirmed. Forth, metaverse application compatibility was found to have positive effect on application use intention. Fifth, the mediating effect of application compatibility on the effect of reality level of avatars on application use intention was confirmed. Research, Practical & Social implications: The findings of this study will be good reference data for production of metaverse platforms using avatars, and scholastic and practical use of avatars. Originality/value: This study is an empirical analysis of outside characteristics of avatars based on Proteus effect and uncanny valley effect.

Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the construction of jihad through redefining jihad within the context of da’wah (religious outreach) against radicalism among female ulama (clerics) in West Java. The study aims to understand the meaning, motives, and experiences associated with this construction of jihad, particularly in the context of addressing religious radicalism affecting women in the regions of Garut, Tasikmalaya, and Tasikmalaya City.
Method: The research methodology employed is constructivist qualitative, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation. Purposive sampling was used to select informants, including female ulama, women leaders and activists, radicalism observers, and members of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Ulama Council in the specified districts. The study focuses on the religious approach taken through da'wah in women's taklim assemblies (Islamic study groups) to construct jihad as a solution to the problem of religious radicalism among women.
Result: The study reveals several key aspects of the construction of jihad in da’wah against radicalism among female ulama: Meaning of Jihad: The jihad of female clerics involves preaching, contextualization within hijrah (migration), attendance at taklim assemblies, and fostering diversity. Motives for Jihad: Motives include healing women's psychological wounds, providing a dialogue space for congregations, fostering tolerance among congregations, addressing radicalism targeting women, and broadening women's understanding of moderate and humanist Islamic teachings. Experiences of Jihad: Experiences of jihad include participation in taklim assembly studies, engaging in open dialogic spaces, assisting the wives of former terrorist convicts, providing mental health therapy, critiquing da'wah on social media, strengthening national insight, and providing education on the rights and relationships of husbands and wives in the family.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the construction of jihad in da’wah against radicalism among female ulama involves multifaceted meanings, motives, and experiences. The efforts of female ulama in addressing religious radicalism encompass preaching, dialogue, education, and psychological support. By redefining jihad in this manner, female ulama contribute significantly to countering radicalism, fostering tolerance, and promoting a broad, moderate understanding of Islam among congregations, particularly women, in the specified regions of West Java.

Objective: This research aims to implement social protection programmes through the One Poverty Data Policy more effectively, efficiently, and on target so that poverty reduction programme policies can run optimally following the sustainable development goals of eliminating poverty and hunger. Method: This type of research is normative juridical with a descriptive-analytical approach, discussing existing legal symptoms and problems and testing them based on legislation and legal norms. Result and conclusion: This study aims to present a potential resolution to the inadequacies observed in past poverty reduction initiatives. The absence of regulatory consistency across ministries has led to varying interpretations and definitions of poverty, the continued use of unchanged data, and the fragmented execution of programmes, which are the main elements contributing to this issue. The performance of data governance reforms needs the harmonisation and integration of social protection systems. The research holds great importance due to its ability to improve poverty alleviation initiatives' efficacy, efficiency, and accuracy. The possible benefits of implementing the One Data Poverty policy include enhancing the effectiveness and targeting of poverty alleviation efforts and aligning them with the objectives articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
