This study aims to analyze the normative provisions regarding women's inheritance rights in three legal systems applicable in Indonesia, namely Islamic law, customary law, and civil law. These three systems have different legal bases, values, and mechanisms in regulating inheritance rights, especially regarding the position and rights of women as heirs. Islamic law determines women's inheritance shares based on the provisions of the Qur'an and Al-Hadith or As Sunnah with the principle of proportionality according to socio-economic responsibilities in the family. On the other hand, customary law is highly dependent on the local kinship system, whether patrilineal, matrilineal, or bilateral, which causes great variation in granting inheritance rights to women. Meanwhile, civil law originating from the Civil Code emphasizes equality between men and women in inheritance rights, without gender differentiation. This study uses a normative legal approach with a qualitative analysis method on primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that although normatively civil law and several customary law systems provide space for equality, in social practice and cultural interpretation of women in obtaining inheritance rights, harmonization between legal systems is still needed, as well as increasing legal awareness in society for women. This study also emphasizes the importance of strengthening the role of the state and law enforcement officers in implementing inheritance rights for women.

Youth is the driving force of all civilizations born in the culture of society. The state of maturity affects the mindset and behavior. Sensitivity is very high in sniffing out various problems of the surrounding reality. The effectiveness of this sense is what drives the sensitivity to make changes to overcome various conditions.

In addition, youth are the driving force, because they have the opportunity to change the conditions of their society. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. This is in line with the analysis that seeks to describe and explain the reality that exists within a scope of society.

Work-life balance has become an important issue in human resource management, mainly because of its impact on employee satisfaction and performance. This study examines the influence of work-life balance on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. This study uses a causal approach with 115 employees at PT. Biotis Agrindo. The data was analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The study results show that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction and employee performance, both directly and indirectly through job satisfaction. These findings confirm that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between WLB and performance, reinforcing the social exchange theory that perceptions of fair treatment from organisations will be reciprocated with positive work behaviours. The practical implication of this research is that organisations need to implement work policies that support work-life balance as part of performance improvement strategies.
