Beth Nnenne Oluka — 2025-04-30

Pupils with intellectual disabilities often face challenges in achieving academic success, and low self-esteem may contribute to this struggle. While self-esteem is recognized as an important factor for academic achievement, its specific impact on pupils with intellectual disabilities remains underexplored. This study examined self-esteem as correlate of academic performance of pupils with intellectual disabilities in some schools in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select 22 pupils with intellectual disabilities in schools. Instrument for Data collection was a structured questionnaire titled Self-Esteem and Academic Performance of Pupils with Intellectual Disabilities (SEAPPID). Academic performance data were obtained from cumulative English language results. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings indicated that pupils with higher self-esteem performed better academically and were more engaged in their studies. Furthermore, while girls showed slightly better emotional control and focus, gender differences in academic performance were minimal. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teachers adopt strategies that actively promote self-esteem in both male and female pupils with intellectual disabilities. Parents should be encouraged to play a more active role in supporting their children’s self-esteem and academic growth by collaborating with teachers to strengthen learning outcomes. Promoting self-esteem is essential for improving academic performance and fostering resilience in pupils with intellectual disabilities.

Critical Review of the Implementation of Restorative Justice for Victims of Sexual Violence Crimes: A Legal Positivism Perspective of Hart

Nur Alifah — 2025-04-29

Sexual violence is a global issue that has increasingly garnered attention, with various evolving definitions, including the explanation by the World Health Organization (WHO) which states that sexual violence involves actions to obtain unwanted sexual behaviour, carried out through coercion or without the consent of the victim. In Indonesia, sexual violence was previously regulated in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), but with the development of time, Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) was introduced to provide more protection for victims and more robust law enforcement. Furthermore, the application of restorative justice principles in handling Sexual Violence Crimes has begun to be considered, although this principle was initially focused on minor criminal acts. Restorative justice aims to restore relationships between the victim, offender, and society, but its application in sexual violence cases presents various challenges, including the potential to reduce the accountability of offenders and the risk of re-victimisation of the victims. This research employs a normative legal approach with analysis of the applicable regulations and the concept of H.L.A. Hart's legal positivism, which emphasises the importance of systematic law enforcement while still allowing space for flexibility, particularly in the application of restorative principles. Based on the analysis, the application of restorative justice in sexual violence cases in Indonesia needs to be carried out with great caution to ensure the protection of victims' rights and the accountability of offenders, without neglecting the importance of firm and effective law enforcement.

Benedikta Alma Aditya Permana — 2025-04-30

This thesis examines and analyzes the legal consequences of making a testament and the mechanisms for resolving inheritance rights of members of the Society of Jesus (priests) who have made a testament and later resigned, according to the Indonesian Civil Code ( KUHPerdata ). The study was conducted at the Provincial House of the Society of Jesus in Semarang. The research method used is empirical legal research, employing interviews and literature review approaches. The results of the research show that, according to the Indonesian Civil Code, the legal consequence for a former priest who has made a testament and then resigned is that he remains bound by the testament he previously made. The Society of Jesus community or the Aloysius Association retains its position as the testamentary heir of the former priest, based on the legal grounds of Article 954 of the Civil Code. According to Articles 913–914 of the Civil Code, a testament that has not been revoked can affect the portion of inheritance and determine the subject entitled to the inheritance of the former priest. As a result, it may reduce the legitimate share (legitime share ) of the former priest's family members, including biological children (if married) or biological parents as legataris (recipients of the legitimate portion). For former priests who were leaders of a foundation or institution managed by the Society of Jesus, whose names were used for purposes such as purchasing land under ownership rights, opening bank accounts, or receiving donations, a process of name transfer (re-registration) can be carried out.
