Household solid waste (HSW) generation and its illegal disposal pose significant challenges to Sierra Leone, leading to public health and environmental harm. While municipal by-laws are implemented to deal with HSW in Sierra Leone, existing literature shows significant inadequacies in these laws. This paper employs normative legal research to examine the relevant laws in Sierra Leone and their adequacy and discusses related laws in South Korea and Indonesia. The findings reveal significant areas for improvement in Sierra Leone's laws, regulations, and policies pertaining to HSW, such as the absence of specific provisions to address HSW and the non-binding nature of existing provisions. Observing the relevant laws and measures in South Korea and Indonesia could significantly improve Sierra Leone's waste laws, leading to better HSW minimization. The proposed measures include establishing clear and specific laws and regulations for HSW management, implementing stricter penalties for HSW violations, promoting public awareness and education on waste reduction and recycling, and providing incentives for waste reduction and recycling. By doing so, Sierra Leone can improve public health, protect the environment, and promote sustainable development.

Tulisan ini mengkaji peraturan dan perlindungan hukum terhadap wanita yang berperan sebagai korban kekerasan “domestik” (KDRT) yang berujung pada pembunuhan berencana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsekuensi hukum yang melindungi hak-hak korban, serta menelaah bagaimana sistem peradilan menangani kasus yang melibatkan perempuan sebagai pelaku pembunuhan berencana setelah mengalami KDRT. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah yuridis normatif, dengan menganalisis peraturan perundang-undangan yang relevan, seperti Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) dan Undang-Undang Penghapusan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (UU PKDRT). Teknik analisis dilakukan dengan menggali penerapan kedua undang-undang tersebut dalam kasus-kasus pembunuhan berencana yang melibatkan perempuan sebagai pelaku, serta membandingkan antara ketentuan umum dalam KUHP dan ketentuan khusus dalam UU PKDRT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembunuhan berencana yang dilakukan oleh perempuan sering kali dipicu oleh trauma psikologis yang dialami akibat kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Trauma ini, yang sering kali tidak terlihat, mempengaruhi kondisi mental pelaku dan dapat menjadi faktor utama dalam motif tindakannya. Dalam penegakan hukum, penting untuk memperhatikan konteks kekerasan domestik yang dialami oleh korban. Sistem peradilan harus mengutamakan penerapan UU PKDRT sebagai lex specialis, yang memberikan perlindungan kepada perempuan korban KDRT. Penulisan ini, mengeksplorasi kewajiban hukum yang diberikan kepada perempuan pelaku pembunuhan berencana dalam konteks trauma psikis. Penulis berharap penelitian ini dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam dalam perumusan kebijakan hukum yang responsif terhadap kondisi korban KDRT dan memperbaiki sistem perlindungan hukum bagi perempuan.

Social and economic welfare reflects the quality of life in a region and is influenced by local social, economic, and environmental factors. East Java, as the second most populous province in Indonesia, faces challenges in improving the welfare of its residents, particularly due to varying regional characteristics such as employment, education, and population demographics. To understand the patterns of interrelationships among factors affecting welfare, this study conducted a klaster analysis to group regions based on similar characteristics. The klaster analysis employed both hierarchical (complete linkage) and non-hierarchical (K-means) approaches to determine the optimal number of klasters. The results revealed that the level of diversity across regions in East Java tends to be homogeneous in social and economic aspects, with average values exceeding standard deviations. Assumption tests for the klaster analysis confirmed that the data met the assumptions of multivariate normal distribution and dependency.Through hierarchical (complete linkage) and non-hierarchical (K-means) klaster analysis, two main klasters were formed, dividing districts/cities in East Java based on welfare characteristics. Using the complete linkage method, 27 regions were grouped into klaster 1, and 11 regions into klaster 2, while K-means grouped 26 regions into klaster 1 and 12 regions into klaster 2. Out of the six variables used, one variable was found to be insignificant in influencing the klastering results. Based on the mapping results, the grouping aligns with similar criteria, where urban areas predominantly fall into one klaster, and the other klaster is dominated by rural areas.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the portrayal of greed and power in the film Planet of the Apes and focus on how these themes affect the relationship between humans and apes. This study will focus on understanding the role of greed and power in social and interspecies dynamics and explore how these destructive forces shape character behavior as well as the broader conflict in the story. This study uses qualitative descriptive analysis to explore the themes of "greed" and "power" in Planet of the Apes. The study employs descriptive research to explore how these themes are intertwined in the plot, particularly the dynamics between humans and apes. The study emphasizes the destructive effects of greed, which leads to conflict, exploitation, and oppression and affects both species. Proximus symbolizes the greed of apes, who misuse Caesar's teachings to fuel their violent ambitions, while Mai symbolizes the greed of humans, who crave manipulation and control. The results of this study show how humans struggle to coexist with the greedy apes, thus reinforcing the narrative of inevitable conflict and power struggle.

This study aims to enable researchers to describe the types of code mixing contained in the KKN Novel (Kuliah Kerja Ngebaper) created by Nurul Vidya Utama. The researcher conducted the study using a qualitative method accompanied by a qualitative descriptive approach. Meanwhile, the method of collecting information and data used a direct method in the form of dialogue analysis in the related novel. The researcher himself acted as the data collection instrument. In addition to the data notebook, the main instrument used in this study was the researcher himself. Through the results of the analysis obtained in the KKN novel (Kuliah Kerja Ngebaper) which included the combination of elements in the form of 25 words, the combination of elements in the form of 18 phrases, the combination of elements in the form of 8 basters, the combination of elements in the form of 1 repetition, and the combination of elements in the form of 1 idiom. Knowing that there are two types of code mixing, which are external and internal code mixing. English, Japanese, Mandarin, and Arabic are classified as external code mixing. While Betawi, Sundanese, and Dawan Amanuban languages are included in languages that experience code mixing. The code-mixing order itself can be divided into three, namely adjectives, nouns, and verbs. It is hoped that in the future researchers can be an alternative reference for subsequent research in the field of sociolinguistics, especially for campus studies of literary greeting codes.

This study aims to analyze the intuitive thinking skills of junior high school students in solving geometric problems based on their learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through a learning style questionnaire to categorize students, problem-solving tests on geometric shapes, and in-depth interviews to explore students' intuitive thinking abilities. The findings indicate that students with a visual learning style exhibit stronger intuitive thinking skills compared to those with auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. Visual learners provided clear and well-structured answers aligned with intuitive thinking indicators such as Catalytic Inference, Power of Synthesis, and Common Sense. Conversely, auditory learners tended to give less detailed answers, although they could identify relevant information. Kinesthetic learners offered brief and less detailed responses, particularly in specifying measurements and units in their calculations. These findings underscore the importance of understanding students' diverse learning styles to optimize mathematics teaching strategies, particularly in enhancing problem-solving skills and intuitive thinking.
