Effectiveness of Brand Image and Brand Awareness in Improving the Performance of the West Java Provincial Centre for Teachers and Education Personnel through Social Media Engagement

2025-11-28T08:01:10+00:00

The current era of digitalisation has brought about changes in public communication within government institutions. This is also the case at the West Java Provincial Teacher and Education Personnel Centre (BBGTK Jabar), which is the technical implementation centre of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) tasked with providing training and competency development for teachers and education personnel in the province of West Java. Public communication plays a role in every activity carried out by this institution. This study aims to analyse the positive and effective influence of endogenous variables, namely brand image and brand awareness, on exogenous variables, namely the performance of BBGTK Jabar, through social media engagement as a mediating variable. The type of research used is descriptive and verificative with an explanatory survey research method. The data used are primary and secondary data, where the primary data collection technique is through surveys, while secondary data are obtained through literature studies, journals, articles, and websites. The research population was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%, resulting in 100 respondents consisting of teachers and educational staff who are active users of BBGTK Jabar social media. The research instrument was measured using a 5-point Likert scale, and data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of the analysis show that brand image and brand awareness have a direct positive and effective influence on BBGTK Jabar performance through social media engagement as a mediating variable.

Analisis HOTS Buku Teks Rancagé Diajar Basa Sunda Kelas VII SMP Kurikulum Merdeka

2025-12-26T00:49:28+00:00

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum demands a transformation of instructional materials capable of systematically stimulating students' critical thinking skills; however, the integration of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in regional language textbooks tends to be limited compared to national subjects. This study aims to describe the distribution of HOTS, the variation of HOTS operational verbs, and the types of stimuli used in the Seventh-Grade Sundanese textbook Rancagé Diajar Basa Sunda. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the analysis of HOTS implementation within Sundanese local content, which remains under-researched, compared to national subjects. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through content analysis techniques, this study employed the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy as the research instrument to dissect cognitive levels. A total of 294 content units were collected through documentation techniques, while data validity was ensured through theory triangulation to maintain the objectivity of the analysis. The results reveal that only 98 items (33%) meet the HOTS criteria, while the majority, comprising 196 items (67%), remain at the Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) level. Although the C4 (analyzing) level is predominant, the C5 (evaluating) and C6 (creating) levels occur with minimal frequency, supported by stimuli restricted to simple discourse texts. These findings confirm that the HOTS content in the textbook has not yet reached the ideal standard of 40–60%. The implications suggest that textbook authors must reconstruct materials by enriching visual stimuli and problem-based tasks to transform Sundanese language learning from mere linguistic mastery into the development of cognitive competencies relevant to 21st-century educational needs.

Dynamic Hedge Mapping IHSG: Bukti Rolling regression 60-Hari pada Bitcoin, Emas, Obligasi, dan USD

2025-12-16T03:07:45+00:00

This study examines whether four alternative assets Bitcoin, gold, government bonds, and the United States dollar provide protection against declines in the Indonesia Stock Exchange Composite Index (IHSG). The objective is to determine which assets act as hedges for returns and which serve as volatility safe havens during turbulent market conditions. Using daily log returns from February 2022 to April 2025, the study applies simple linear return regressions, volatility regressions constructed from 10-day rolling standard deviations, and 60-day rolling return regressions to capture time-varying relationships. The results show that the US dollar consistently exhibits a negative and statistically significant relationship with IHSG returns, indicating a reliable hedging function. In contrast, government bonds, gold, and Bitcoin display positive return betas, implying pro-cyclical behavior rather than defensive characteristics. In volatility analysis, the US dollar and government bonds record the smallest sensitivity to index volatility, while Bitcoin and gold amplify market risk. Time-varying (rolling) estimates reinforce these patterns: the dollar’s defensive role persists across normal and crisis episodes, whereas the other assets rarely show sustained negative betas. In conclusion, for the observed period and market context, the United States dollar is the most effective hedge against IHSG declines; government bonds contribute to volatility stabilization; gold offers limited diversification benefits; and Bitcoin does not function as a dependable defensive asset in the Indonesian equity market.

Pengaruh Leverage terhadap Financial Performance Properti & Real estate di Indonesia (2020–2024): Peran Moderasi Financial distress

2025-12-16T03:07:20+00:00

This study examines the effect of financial leverage on financial performance in property and Real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and whether financial distress modifies that effect. The objective is to determine whether higher leverage reduces financial performance and whether financial distress strengthens or weakens that relationship. We use a quantitative panel regression on 68 firms observed between 2020 and 2024. Outliers were screened using the interquartile range and an indicator saturation procedure implemented in EViews 13, yielding 249 usable observations. Financial leverage is measured by the debt-to-asset ratio, firm performance by Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), and financial distress by a bankruptcy-risk score (Altman Z-Score). Results show that higher debt-to-asset ratios significantly reduce both ROA and ROE. Financial distress does not have a significant direct effect on performance, but the combined effect of leverage and distress is positive and significant, indicating that distress tends to weaken rather than amplify the negative impact of leverage. The findings suggest that firms under financial pressure often adopt restructuring or efficiency measures that mitigate leverage’s adverse effects. The study concludes that property firms should manage leverage carefully and address distress proactively through timely restructuring and operational improvements to preserve profitability and long-term viability.

Seni Persuasif dalam Podcast: Kajian Sintaksis

2025-12-29T06:09:34+00:00

This study discusses the persuasive art in the preaching utterances of Habib Husein Ja’far Al-Hadar on Deddy Corbuzier’s YouTube channel, particularly in the Log-in Season Episode, through a syntactic analysis based on Austin and Searle’s speech act theory. The purpose of this research is to describe the types of sentences used by Habib Ja’far in delivering persuasive messages an to explain the accompanying illocutionary function. The method used is qualitative with observastion and note taking techniques, in which verbal utterances are classified according to sentence types (declarative, imperative, prohibitive, and interrogative) and analyzed in relation to their pragmatic functions. The results of the study show that Habib Ja’far employs various syntactic structures to create strong persuasive effects. Declarative sentences are used to instill moral and spiritual values, imperative and prohibitive sentences serve to guide the audience’s behavior, while interroative sentences function to evoke the listener’s awareness through reflection. The combination of sentencesstructure and illocutinary meaning forms a preaching style that is gentle, logical, and emotional, making religious messages more easily accepted by diverse audience.

Gaya Sarkasme Tokoh dalam Film Rumah untuk Alie: Kajian Stilistika

2025-12-28T04:11:46+00:00

This study aims to describe the forms and functions of sarcastic language style used by the characters in the film Rumah untuk Alie through a stylistic approach based on Keraf’s (2006) theory of language style. This research employs a qualitative method with listening and note-taking techniques to collect data in the form of utterances containing sarcasm. The data were analyzed using the referential identity method (metode padan) to interpret meanings, contexts, and rhetorical functions of sarcasm in shaping characters and conflicts. The findings reveal three main forms of sarcastic language style: mocking sarcasm, cursing sarcasm, and ironic sarcasm. Each form serves different rhetorical purposes, such as expressing emotions, channeling anger, and asserting social dominance within conflictual interactions. Stylistically, the use of sarcasm in the film demonstrates how diction, intonation, and context create emotional and aesthetic effects while reflecting the characters’ social dynamics and power relations. This study concludes that language in film functions not merely as a medium of communication but also as a means of psychological expression and social representation.

The Effect of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Disclosure on Audit Quality with Firm Size and Industry Complexity as Moderating Variables (An Empirical Study on Manufacturing Companies Listed On the IDX in 2020–2024)

2026-01-13T03:28:10+00:00

Weak or non-transparent ESG reports regarding governance structure and internal control policies can signal to auditors a high inherent risk of control failure, which in turn increases the risk of material misstatement due to fraud. This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on audit quality, as well as the effect of company size and industry complexity as moderating variables in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020 to 2024. The research sample was determined using purposive sampling. The study uses a causal associative method with a quantitative approach and panel data regression analysis. The statistical data processing and analysis were carried out using STATA statistical software. The results showed that disclosure of environmental aspects had no effect on audit quality. In contrast, social and governance aspects have a negative effect on audit quality. This finding indicates that the higher the social and governance score of a company, the auditor tends to consider the audit risk lower, thus reducing the need for additional independent audits. Simultaneously, social and governance are also proven to reduce audit quality. Firm size is not shown to moderate the relationship between ESG and audit quality, as both large and small firms may experience an exaggerated perception of high ESG reputation. However, industry complexity is shown to positively moderate the relationship between social and governance aspects and audit quality. In complex industries, despite high ESG scores, the demand for rigorous audit oversight still increases due to the high potential reporting risks. This study provides an empirical contribution in understanding the dynamics of ESG influence on audit in Indonesia's manufacturing sector, and suggests the importance of considering operational complexity factors in designing an effective audit oversight system.

Implementation of Expenditure Standards Analysis (Case Study on The Regional Government of Tolitoli Regency, Central Sulawesi Province)

2026-01-01T15:30:08+00:00

This study aims to analyze the reasonableness of costs for performance report preparation programs in each Regional Government Organization (OPD) of Tolitoli Regency. The approach used is descriptive quantitative, with secondary data in the form of the 2024 Tolitoli Regency Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD) document. Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results show that the regression equation obtained is: Y =-22,780,831,863,267 + 3,665,682,455,393X, where X represents the number of performance report preparation activities/reports and the summary of OPD performance realization as a cost driver. Based on the estimation results, 3 OPDs are in the underfinancing category, 20 OPDs are in the overfinancing category, and 6 OPDs are in the reasonable cost category. These findings indicate that there is still an imbalance in the allocation of expenditure budgets in Tolitoli Regency. The implementation of ASB (Expenditure Standards Analysis) is expected to help the regional government to prepare a budget that is more effective, efficient, and on target, while also increasing transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.

The Role of Information Technology Education in Improving Human Resource Quality in the Technology Sector

2026-01-01T15:31:28+00:00

The rapid development of information technology requires human resources (HR) who are adaptive, competent, and competitive. This study analyzes the role of information technology education in improving HR quality in the technology sector through a systematic literature review of Indonesian studies. The findings show that IT education, in both formal settings (schools and universities) and non-formal programs (courses, certifications, and industry-based training), significantly enhances technical skills such as programming, cybersecurity, and data analysis, while also developing non-technical skills like communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. Technology-based learning models, including e-learning, blended learning, and project-based learning, have proven to expand access, increase effectiveness, and foster innovation in learning. Collaboration between educational institutions, industry, and government is essential to align curricula with workforce needs. Despite challenges such as limited infrastructure, unequal internet access, and varying educator capacities, the study confirms that investing in IT education is a strategic approach to developing high quality human resources and supporting national competitiveness in the digital era.

Workaholism Sebagai Mediator Antara Stres Keuangan Dan Strategi Bertahan Hidup Generasi Sandwich

2026-01-08T03:09:41+00:00

This study aims to understand how workaholism mediates financial stress and the adaptive strategies of the sandwich generation, and how Islamic values influence the meaning and justification of this behavior. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore in depth the subjective experiences of individuals in interpreting financial stress and the urge to overwork. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with participants who met the criteria for the sandwich generation, while secondary data were sourced from academic literature, documents, and relevant previous studies. This study analysis uses the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping theory by Lazarus and Folkman and the Religious Coping theory by Kenneth Pargament. These two theories were chosen because they are able to explain how individuals deal with economic stress through two main approaches: problem-focused coping through hard work and emotion-focused coping through spiritual values such as tawakal (trust), patience, and contentment (qana'ah). This study is expected to contribute to the psychological and religious understanding of workaholism behavior in the sandwich generation, while also enriching scientific studies on the balance between economic responsibility, spirituality, and mental health in the context of Indonesian culture.

Fluctuation in the Income of Rubber Farmers in Tingkea’o Village: The Contribution of Production Costs and Selling Price

2026-01-16T17:15:25+00:00

This study aims to analyze the contribution of production costs, particularly fertilizer and pesticide costs, as well as the selling price of rubber sap to the income fluctuations of rubber farmers in Tingkea'o Village, North Morowali. Using a quantitative descriptive analysis approach with SEM PLS analysis processed through WarpPLS V.8.0 software. Data were collected from 34 rubber farmers randomly through structured interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The results show that fertilizer and pesticide costs contribute significantly and positively to rubber farmers' income, with path coefficients of 0.419 and 0.342, respectively (p-value < 0.001). Conversely, the selling price has no significant effect (p-value = 0.205). The independent variable model explains 41.5% of the variation in income, with the remainder influenced by other external factors. This study reinforces the farming theory of optimizing production costs to improve farmers' livelihoods, while also revealing the limited influence of selling prices due to market structure and the role of middlemen. The strategic recommendations provided can form the basis for policies to support the development of sustainable rubber farming and improve the welfare of farmers in the region.

Pengaruh Adat Lunang Baduy Dalam dan Adat Lunang Baduy Luar Terhadap Keputusan Memilih Presiden dan Wakil Presiden pada Pemilu 2024

2026-01-16T17:17:01+00:00

This study aims to determine the influence of the Lunang custom adopted by the Inner Baduy and Outer Baduy communities on the decision to elect the President and Vice President in the 2024 General Election. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method involving 140 respondents from the Baduy community in Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Banten Province. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine trends and patterns of political decision-making. The results show that the Inner Baduy community tends to be politically neutral based on customary law and spiritual beliefs that emphasize separation from external political affairs. In contrast, the Outer Baduy community shows selective participation influenced by the process of cultural adaptation to the outside world. This study concludes that differences in interpretation and application of the Lunang custom between the two communities have a significant influence on their political decisions, reflecting the role of customary values in shaping democratic participation in Indonesia.

Obstacles and Strategies for Implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Curriculum at Theological College X

2026-01-16T17:12:41+00:00

Education in Indonesia is continuously evolving through curriculum development based on the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI). One of the latest initiatives is the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and centred on the concept of Merdeka Belajar (Independent Learning). However, implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Curriculum in Theological Colleges (Sekolah Tinggi Teologi) faces several challenges, including a limited understanding of educational regulations, inadequate human resources, and insufficient funding. This study employs a qualitative, phenomenological approach to analyse the barriers faced by Sekolah Tinggi Teologi X in implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. The results indicate that several aspects of MBKM are implementable, including: Lectures outside the primary study program, field service practice (PPL), an assessment system that does not require mandatory mid-semester or final exams. Conversely, other components remain difficult to execute, such as student exchange programs, entrepreneurship initiatives, and independent studies or projects. This study recommends that stakeholders analyse self-training strategies, evaluate the current curriculum, and develop a partnership strategy to accelerate the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Theological Colleges.

2026-01-16T17:09:27+00:00

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nesting care in stabilizing physiological parameters of low birth weight infants receiving treatment in a perinatology unit. A descriptive case study design was used to observe two premature infants who experienced respiratory instability, fluctuating body temperature, feeding intolerance, and a high risk of infection. Nesting care was applied continuously for three days by positioning the infants in a flexed posture resembling the intrauterine environment to improve comfort and reduce physiological stress. Physiological parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature, were monitored before and after the intervention. The results showed consistent improvement in both infants, marked by decreased heart rate and respiratory rate, increased oxygen saturation reaching ninety nine percent, and stable body temperature within the normal range. These findings indicate that nesting care supports physiological stabilization and promotes energy conservation in infants with low birth weight. In conclusion, nesting care is a simple, affordable, evidence based intervention that enhances physiological stability and can be integrated into routine neonatal nursing practice.

The Concept of Tauhid and Adab in the Malay World: A Review of the Epistemology of Islamic Educational Philosophy

2026-01-16T17:01:10+00:00

Islamic education has two main pillars, namely monotheism and adab, which are the foundation in shaping individual character and knowledge. Tawhid instills awareness of the oneness of Allah as the main basis for pursuing knowledge, while adab is a moral guideline that ensures that knowledge is practiced responsibly and ethically. In the tradition of Islamic education in the Malay world, the integration between tauhid and adab has been inherited by scholars who emphasize the importance of a balance between knowledge, faith, and morals. However, in the era of globalization, this concept faces great challenges due to the secularization of education and rapid technological development. Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize Islamic education based on monotheism and adab through strengthening the curriculum, innovating learning methods, and increasing awareness of the importance of Islamic values in the world of education. Thus, Islamic education can continue to contribute to producing a generation that has intellectual intelligence as well as high moral and spiritual integrity.

Integration and Interconnection of Islam and Science to Strengthen the Islamic Education Curriculum

2026-01-16T16:58:29+00:00

The Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum plays a strategic role in shaping students who are not only religiously devout but also scientifically literate and responsive to the dynamics of modern civilization. The integration and interconnection between Islam and science serves as a crucial paradigm for strengthening the PAI curriculum, preventing the dichotomy between religious and scientific knowledge. This study aims to examine the concept of Islamic–scientific integration and interconnection and its implications for reinforcing the PAI curriculum in the modern era. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that the integration of Islam and science positions revelation (the Qur'an and Hadith) as the primary source of knowledge that aligns with the empirical findings of modern science. This approach enriches the PAI curriculum by harmoniously linking spiritual, moral, and rational values, making Islamic education more contextual, relevant, and meaningful. Therefore, strengthening the PAI curriculum through the integration and interconnection of Islam and science can foster a generation that is religiously grounded, intellectually critical, and scientifically insightful, ready to face the challenges of the era of artificial intelligence and globalization.

“Pasti Ke Singkawang!”: Tourism-Oriented City Branding and the Role of Local Government in Promoting Sustainable Cultural Tourism

2026-01-05T12:13:29+00:00

This study examines the implementation of tourism-oriented city branding in Singkawang and the role of local government in promoting sustainable cultural tourism through community participation. As one of Indonesia’s most multicultural cities, Singkawang has introduced the brand “Pasti Ke Singkawang!” to position itself as a unique and attractive destination. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach, combining interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while the branding initiative has increased tourist visibility, it remains largely top-down and event-focused. Key challenges include limited integration of communal cultural assets, lack of grassroots involvement, and untapped potential in using intellectual property tools such as Geographical Indications (GI). Comparisons with other Indonesian cities—Yogyakarta, Solo, Denpasar, and Pekalongan—highlight the importance of community engagement, cultural protection, and institutional innovation in sustainable tourism branding. The study concludes that Singkawang’s brand can be strengthened by transforming it into a participatory platform that supports local creatives, protects intangible heritage, and integrates place-based cultural products into tourism strategies. This research contributes conceptually to the discourse on city branding as a tool for inclusive governance and sustainable development.

Samples were selected using purposive sampling. Triangulation of methods and data sources was used in this study to increase the validity of the research findings, verify the findings, and discuss with peers to review interpretations and findings and minimize researcher bias. The results of this study indicate that the existence of kawaii hijab as a fashion trend in Japanese popular culture that can be applied in Indonesia reflects complex identity dynamics, where kawaii hijab women successfully combine elements of religion and popular culture in their appearance.

Collective Behavior and Social Movements in the Late-August 2025 Demonstrations: Solidarity and Mass Violence in the Case of Affan Kurniawan

2026-01-31T09:46:08+00:00

This study investigates the dynamics of collective behavior and social movements that emerged during the late-August 2025 demonstrations in Indonesia, focusing on how structural grievances, triggering events, and media framing shaped the escalation of public mobilization. The research aims to explain why the protests, which initially centered on opposition to proposed parliamentary allowance increases, quickly expanded into a nationwide movement marked by strong expressions of solidarity and episodes of mass violence. Special attention is given to the death of Affan Kurniawan, an ordinary citizen who became an unintended victim during crowd-control operations, and whose case transformed the public’s emotional and moral engagement with the demonstrations. Using a qualitative approach that combines interviews with civil society actors, analysis of organizational documents, and observations of mainstream and digital media content, the study identifies several key findings. Structural economic and political tensions created fertile conditions for mobilization, while the death of Affan Kurniawan acted as a powerful moral catalyst that broadened participation across diverse social groups. Civil society organizations played a crucial role in coordinating information, framing human-rights concerns, and maintaining the momentum of public engagement. Meanwhile, contrasting media narratives contributed to divergent interpretations of the protests, influencing public sentiment and state responses. The study concludes that interactions among grievances, symbolic events, and communication networks significantly amplify the scale and emotional intensity of contemporary social movements. Strengthening transparency, accountability, and rights-based approaches in protest management is essential to prevent similar escalations in the future.

The Development of Children’s Psychology in the Orang Rimba Community: A Cultural Psychological Analysis in Kedundung Muda – Jambi

2026-01-31T09:48:37+00:00

Children’s psychosocial development is inseparable from the cultural and ecological environments that structure their daily lives. This study investigates the psychosocial development of Orang Rimba children in the Kedundung Muda community of Jambi through a cultural psychology framework, arguing that culturally embedded practices remain central to understanding developmental trajectories in Indigenous contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study integrates a literature review with secondary ethnographic analysis of caregiving norms, social organization, and cultural interaction within Orang Rimba society. The findings demonstrate that children’s psychosocial development is shaped not only by customary values, kinship relations, and ecological engagements but also by the community’s adaptive strategies in negotiating external pressures such as state policies, formal schooling, and forest ecological change. These pressures generate identity tensions, role ambiguities, and shifts in caregiving practices, revealing the fragility and resilience of Indigenous developmental systems under structural transformation. The study contends that culturally informed frameworks are indispensable for designing educational and social interventions that respect and sustain Indigenous lifeworlds.

Law Enforcement Policy in the Case of Double L Pill Abuse by Adolescents: A Study of the Ponorogo District Court Decision

2026-01-31T09:47:14+00:00

The misuse of Double L pills among adolescents poses a serious threat to public health, moral values, and the future of the younger generation, including in Ponorogo Regency. This research analyzes Court Decision No. 75/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Png using a normative juridical approach to examine the judges’ legal considerations in proving the elements of the criminal act, the application of Article 435 of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, and the imposition of sanctions on juvenile offenders from the perspectives of legal certainty, justice, and social utility. The study reveals that the panel of judges successfully proved all elements of the offense in a lawful and convincing manner, making the application of Article 435 appropriate and reflective of strong legal certainty. The defendant was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months imprisonment, with the defendant’s young age and cooperative attitude considered as mitigating factors. Nevertheless, the aspects of substantive justice and utility, particularly regarding the guidance and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders, remain less than optimal. The research concludes that stronger collaboration among law enforcement agencies, local government, educational institutions, and the community is required through intensive legal education, early prevention, and recovery-oriented rehabilitation programs. Such measures will ensure that law enforcement is not merely retributive but also preventive and educative for the younger generation.

Synchronization of Bitcoin Regulations in the Indonesian Legal System

2026-01-31T09:49:58+00:00

This study examines the legal status of Bitcoin in Indonesia from the perspective of regulatory synchronization between regulatory institutions, namely Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti), and the Ministry of Trade. The study highlights Bitcoin's striking dual status: while Bank Indonesia expressly prohibits its use as a means of payment under Law No. 7 of 2011 concerning Currency to maintain the sovereignty of the Rupiah, the government, through Bappebti, recognizes Bitcoin as a digital commodity that can be legally traded on futures exchanges. This regulatory asymmetry among these institutions not only leads to overlapping authority but also creates significant legal uncertainty for digital asset market players, weakens consumer protection efforts, and opens up loopholes for potential abuses such as money laundering and terrorism financing. This study uses a normative legal method with a statutory approach to analyze the hierarchy of norms, a conceptual approach to clarify ambiguous terminology, and a comparative legal approach to map the best regulatory models from developed jurisdictions such as Japan and Singapore. The results show that Bitcoin regulation in Indonesia has not been harmonious due to the lack of binding cross-institutional legal norms. Despite significant changes with the transfer of digital asset oversight to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in January 2025, regulatory synchronization remains a challenge. The creation of a National Digital Asset Law as a lex specialis to integrate monetary, trade, and financial oversight functions, as well as the establishment of a coordinating body such as the National Crypto Regulatory Board (NCRB), is needed to create a unified digital asset legal system that adapts to technological developments.

Perlindungan Hukum terhadap Harta Perkawinan dengan Pembuatan Akta Perjanjian Pra Nikah menurut Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 1974

2026-01-01T15:35:07+00:00

This study aims to analyze the legal protection of marital assets through a prenuptial agreement under Law Number 1 of 1974 and to examine the implications of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 69/PUU-XIII/2015 on the validity of prenuptial agreements in Indonesia. Using a normative legal research method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this study focuses on doctrinal analysis and juridical argumentation. The findings indicate that a prenuptial agreement functions as a preventive legal protection instrument that provides legal certainty, fairness, and utility for both husband and wife in regulating the ownership and management of assets. Such agreements serve as a “law” for the parties, protecting personal property, inherited assets, and financial arrangements during marriage. The Constitutional Court’s decision expanded the scope of time for drafting such agreements, which were previously limited to before marriage, and now may also be made during the marriage. The implication of this ruling reinforces the principle of freedom of contract, ensures greater legal flexibility, and enhances the relevance of prenuptial agreements in addressing contemporary social and economic dynamics. Therefore, a prenuptial agreement is not merely a legal formality but a strategic legal instrument that safeguards marital assets in Indonesia.

Conclusion: Contextual-based textbooks that integrate local cultural wisdom are valid, practical, and effective in improving students' creativity in writing narrative essays.

Pengaruh Pendapatan dan Jumlah Anggota Keluarga Terhadap Konsumsi Keluarga ASN di Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Provinsi Bengkulu

2026-01-22T15:11:32+00:00

Family consumption patterns are an overview of how households meet their daily living needs based on the resources they have. Differences in consumption patterns between families are influenced by various factors, especially income levels and the number of family members. This also applies to the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) family which generally has the characteristics of a relatively fixed income. Therefore, income and the number of family members are important variables in explaining the variation in consumption patterns of ASN families. This study aims to analyze the influence of income and the number of family members on the family consumption patterns of State Civil Apparatus (ASN). This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through a closed questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The data collection technique was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 65 ASN respondents who worked within the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bengkulu Province. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis supported by instrument validity and reliability tests, partial tests (t test), simultaneous tests (F tests), and determination coefficient analysis (R²). The results of the study showed that partially the income variable had a significant effect on the consumption pattern of ASN families with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, which shows that income has an influence on consumption. Meanwhile, the number of family members had no significant effect on consumption patterns with a significance value of 0.915 > 0.05. However, simultaneously income and the number of family members have a significant effect on the consumption pattern of ASN families with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The determination coefficient value of 0.962 shows that 92.6% of the variation in the consumption pattern of ASN families can be explained by income and the number of family members. This research was analyzed using Talcott Parsons' functional structural theory, especially the concept of AGIL (Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latency). Income is seen as the family's main resource in carrying out the function of adapting to life needs, while consumption patterns reflect the family's efforts in achieving welfare, maintaining family integration, and maintaining financial values and management patterns. Thus, the consumption of ASN families is not only an economic activity, but also part of the social mechanism in maintaining family balance and stability as a social system.

Analisis Kebijakan Desentralisasi Pendidikan pada Tingkat Sekolah Dasar: Kajian Implementasi dan Implikasi terhadap Mutu Pendidikan

2026-03-29T06:39:00+00:00

Decentralization of education transfers authority from the central government to local governments and schools to improve the relevance and effectiveness of educational services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of basic education decentralization policies, and examine their implications for the quality of education. The analysis was conducted on national regulations and a number of local regulations from Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Palangka Raya. The results of the study show that decentralization is realized through three main pillars: decentralization of authority, decentralization of curriculum, and decentralization of budget. Regional implementation shows a variety of strategies, ranging from the establishment of mandatory local content, the provision of school-based curricular autonomy, to the development of culture-based local curricula. The implications include increased learning relevance, room for innovation for teachers, and strengthening of cultural identity, although there are still challenges in terms of regional capacity, budget accountability, and quality gaps between regions. These findings confirm that decentralization has the potential to strengthen the quality of basic education if accompanied by capacity building and effective monitoring mechanisms.

2026-02-26T15:19:29+00:00

The placement of IDR 200 trillion in state funds in partner banks constitutes a strategic government cash management instrument to maintain fiscal liquidity and strengthen banking intermediation. As it involves public wealth, this policy must be evaluated from the perspective of asset protection (ḥifẓ al-māl) within the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This study aims to assess the compatibility of the policy with the principle of ḥifẓ al-māl through an analysis of policy design, implementation, and associated governance risks. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach based on document analysis of fiscal regulations, supervisory authority reports, and relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that the policy is effective in maintaining nominal fund security and short-term banking stability; however, significant weaknesses remain in terms of transparency, accountability, and the optimization of social benefits. Therefore, strengthening the orientation toward public welfare is an urgent necessity in managing state funds.

The Influence Of Profitability, Leverage And Company Size On Company Value With Asset Growth As A Moderator

2026-02-09T15:02:35+00:00

This study examines the extent to which profitability, leverage, and firm size contribute to changes in firm value, while also evaluating the role of asset growth as a moderating variable in this relationship. Using a quantitative positivist approach, data analysis used moderated regression (MRA), where data sources were obtained through documentation of financial statements and annual reports of pharmaceutical sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021-2024 period. Purposive sampling was used to select the sample in this study based on several predetermined criteria, resulting in the selection of 11 companies as the research sample. The test results found that firm value was positively and significantly influenced by profitability and firm size, while leverage showed no significant effect. Asset growth did not moderate the relationship between profitability and firm value, but was shown to strengthen the effect of leverage and weaken the effect of firm size on firm value. Practically, this confirms that efforts to increase firm value can be directed through profitability optimization and better asset management, so that business expansion can run efficiently and increase investor confidence.

Soft Power in Practice: Cultural and Educational Micro-Diplomacy between Indonesia and the Czech Republic

2026-03-29T06:40:00+00:00

This research examines how cultural and educational diplomacy function as instruments of soft power in strengthening bilateral relations between Indonesia and the Czech Republic. It addresses the research gap in understanding how educational exchanges and cultural initiatives contribute to people-to-people diplomacy within less-studied bilateral contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study utilizes a systematic literature review as the main method of data collection, complemented by autoethnographic reflections derived from the author’s experience as an IISMA awardee in the Czech Republic. Data were obtained from official government documents, peer-reviewed academic journals, embassy publications, and institutional communications from both nations. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s cultural and educational diplomacy through programs such as IISMA, Darmasiswa, language teaching, and joint cultural festivals has effectively enhanced mutual understanding and fostered Indonesia’s positive image abroad. These initiatives serve as soft power mechanisms that attract foreign publics through shared learning and cultural appreciation, creating sustained engagement beyond state-level diplomacy. Despite these achievements, Indonesia’s approach remains fragmented due to the absence of a cohesive national branding strategy and limited inter-agency coordination. Strengthening collaboration among ministries, universities, and cultural institutions is essential to maximizing the impact of soft power. The study concludes that integrating educational and cultural diplomacy under a unified framework can significantly advance Indonesia’s strategic influence and bilateral partnership with the Czech Republic.

Tata Kelola Kolaboratif Sampah Perkotaan: Analisis Model Triple Helix di Kota Pesisir Dumai

2026-02-23T15:12:03+00:00

This qualitative study investigates the dynamics of collaborative waste management in Dumai City, Indonesia, utilizing the Triple Helix framework to analyze interactions between government, private sector, and community actors. Data collected through in-depth interviews with multiple stakeholders reveal significant challenges in waste governance, including irregular waste collection services, limited infrastructure, and inadequate public awareness of waste separation practices. Despite these obstacles, emerging initiatives demonstrate potential for improvement: community-led composting practices, private sector involvement through CSR programs and technology adoption (Masaro ITB system), and localized collaboration models.

2026-02-23T15:17:20+00:00

The purpose of this study was to investigate how social interaction and organizational culture impact the optimism of elementary school teachers in Pangean district. Teacher optimism is an essential psychological resource that determines mental resilience, motivation, and performance quality. This study used a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The study population consisted of 202 teachers from 19 public elementary schools, and a sample of 135 teachers was obtained using the Taro Yamane formula, with random selection based on clusters. Primary data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire, developed based on a five-point Likert scale, which underwent validity and reliability tests. Data interpretation was carried out using simple and multiple regression, as well as t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results showed that social interaction had a positive and significant influence on teacher optimism, with a contribution of 41.2%. Organizational culture also had a positive and significant impact, with a contribution of 42.7%. Together, these two variables contributed 42.7% of teacher optimism, with an R of 0.653, indicating a significant correlation, and a Sig. value. The F-value was 0.000, validating the model's significance. These findings indicate that good social relationships and a supportive organizational culture are crucial for teachers to have a more positive outlook on their profession. This study confirms that the growth of optimism among teachers depends on the support of a positive social environment and a strong organizational culture. Therefore, schools and educational policymakers need to improve collaborative, communicative, and emotionally welcoming environments for teachers

Pengembangan Filsafat Ilmu Dalam Revitalisasi Pendidikan Politik di Indonesia

2026-03-05T06:59:48+00:00

The development of the philosophy of science plays a strategic role in reconstructing the paradigm of political education in Indonesia, which has long tended to be formalistic and ceremonial. Ideally, political education serves as a space for cultivating citizens’ critical awareness. Through the perspective of epistemology, knowledge is understood as non-neutral and inherently linked to social interests and power relations. This study employs a qualitative method using a library research approach by examining the works of Jurgen Habermas, Paulo Freire, and relevant literature on the philosophy of science and political education in Indonesia. The analysis is conducted using a descriptive–reflective technique to explore the relationship between the development of the philosophy of science and the revitalization of political education. The findings show that critical epistemology requires a paradigmatic shift from a positivistic model of political education toward a dialogical and participatory model. Political education should not merely convey political facts but encourage citizens to understand the reasons and values underlying political structures. This paradigm positions political education as an emancipatory process that forms critical, rational, and empowered citizens. Thus, the development of the philosophy of science through critical epistemology serves as an essential foundation for constructing a more reflective, dialogical, and liberating political education, ultimately strengthening democratic quality in Indonesia.

2026-03-29T06:35:03+00:00

This study addresses the challenge of low student engagement and performance in sociodrama within secondary education. Conventional teaching methods often lead to passive learning, lack of confidence, and inadequate understanding of role-playing techniques. The aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of a blended pedagogical approach combining a digital Spinner Application and Sociodrama (Role-Playing) to enhance learning outcomes, motivation, and self-efficacy among students. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, conducted over two cycles with 30 Grade XI Social Studies students at MAN 1 Ternate City, Indonesia. Methods included direct observation, performance rubrics, and pre- and post-intervention questionnaires measuring motivation and self-efficacy using a 5-point Likert scale. The results showed significant improvements: average spontaneity scores rose from 83.33 (Cycle I) to 88.67 (Cycle II), and structured performance scores increased from 82 (pre-test) to an average of 89.5 (Cycle II). Motivation increased by 63.4% and self-efficacy by 76.8%. The blended method successfully reduced anxiety, increased participation, and improved both cognitive and affective learning domains. These findings support the integration of gamification and experiential learning in drama education.

Strengthening Community Waste Management Through the ASRI Program in East Java, Indonesia

2026-03-16T02:56:35+00:00

The ASRI (Aksi Semanding Sadar Lingkungan) program was developed as a solution to the problem of waste management in Semanding Village, Kauman District, Ponorogo Regency. The habit of burning waste in this village is caused by the lack of education about the negative impacts of burning and the lack of waste management facilities. The ASRI program takes a partnership approach between Semanding Village and Maesojennar Waste Bank, which receives support from village officials and relevant stakeholders to increase awareness and practice of waste segregation. A series of ASRI programs including socialization, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), pre-test and post-test, and behavior change monitoring were carried out from January 8, 2025 to January 24, 2025 as an intensive activity phase, and continued with follow-up monitoring for the next six months to ensure the sustainability of changes in community behavior related to waste management. The results of the program showed that 75% of the socialization participants understood the negative impact of burning waste, and 15 out of 20 monitored households successfully implemented waste segregation. The program also began to provide economic benefits to the community through the sale of segregated waste. The sustainability of the program can be improved by expanding partnerships, improving waste management facilities, and implementing village policies that support sustainable waste management.

Konsep Kurikulum Alternatif Pendidikan Nonformal di Daerah Terpencil: Kajian Literatur Berbasis Pengembangan Kurikulum Model Taba

2026-03-29T06:36:18+00:00

National curriculum policies in Indonesia are designed to ensure educational quality standards; however, their uniform and centralized implementation often overlooks the social, cultural, and geographical contexts of communities, particularly in remote areas. This condition results in formal curricula that are less relevant and do not fully address the learning needs of local communities. Nonformal education has emerged as an alternative space that enables the development of more flexible and contextual curricula. This article aims to critically and descriptively examine the concept of alternative curricula in nonformal education in remote areas through a qualitative literature review, integrating the Taba Curriculum Development Model as an analytical framework. Research data were obtained from key reference books, national and international journal articles, and education policy documents. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative thematic analysis with a descriptive–interpretative and critical approach. The findings indicate that alternative curricula in nonformal education emphasize flexibility, local relevance, community participation, and empowerment-oriented learning. The integration of the Taba Model demonstrates that curriculum development based on local needs can be carried out in a systematic and reflective manner. This study underscores that alternative curricula function not only as a pedagogical solution but also as a theoretical critique of national curriculum policies that have not yet fully ensured educational equity for communities in remote areas.

Desain Kurikulum PAUD untuk Guru Non-Kependidikan di Wilayah 3T : Kajian Literatur Berbasis Design Thinking

2026-03-29T06:37:14+00:00

Disparities in the quality of Early Childhood Education (ECE) services in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions are often understood primarily as issues of limited facilities and infrastructure. However, a review of various studies indicates that a more fundamental problem lies in curriculum designs that are not fully grounded in the social, cultural, and professional realities of educators in these regions. Much of the existing ECE curriculum literature assumes the availability of professionally trained teachers with formal pedagogical backgrounds, rendering it less relevant to community-based ECE programs managed by non-education-trained teachers. This article presents a critical literature review of studies addressing contextual ECE curriculum design in 3T regions through a Design Thinking approach. The review is conducted using thematic analysis of national and international journal articles, academic books, and relevant conference proceedings. The synthesis of the literature reveals that Design Thinking offers a human-centered framework that enables curricula to be developed in an empathetic, participatory, and locally adaptive manner. Nevertheless, discussions on the integration of this approach into ECE curriculum design in 3T regions remain relatively limited. This article emphasizes the importance of developing a theoretical framework for ECE curricula grounded in field realities that is not only contextual but also positions non-education-trained teachers as key actors in the curriculum design process.

Measuring the Effectiveness of Promotion Strategies in Enhancing the Distinctiveness of Mamasa Cultural Tourism: Optimization of E-WOM and Digital Media

2026-01-05T12:15:23+00:00

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital promotion strategies in enhancing the cultural distinctiveness of Mamasa as a tourism destination. It specifically examines the role of digital media and electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM) in shaping tourists’ perceptions of cultural uniqueness. Using a qualitative approach with transcendental phenomenology, data were obtained through in depth interviews, digital ethnography, and documentation involving local tourism officials, destination managers, and tourists. Thematic analysis using NVivo 14 was applied within the EPIC (Empathy, Persuasion, Impact, Communication) framework. The results revealed six dominant themes: emotionally resonant local content enhances empathy; persuasive storytelling strengthens engagement; authentic digital narratives influence visitation intention; limited interactivity reduces communication effectiveness; strong perception of cultural distinctiveness heightens interest; and E-WOM amplifies credibility and promotional reach. The study concludes that effective cultural tourism promotion requires authentic, emotionally engaging, and participatory digital strategies supported by active two way communication. Strengthening collaboration between local governments, tourism managers, and communities is essential to optimize the strategic potential of digital media and E-WOM in reinforcing Mamasa’s cultural identity and tourism appeal.
