The conclusion emphasizes that strengthening self-concept through a holistic approach can be an effective strategy to improve self-confidence among secondary school students
Analisa Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Direksi dan Komisaris Perusahaan Efek dalam Kasus Insider Trading Pasca Perkembangan Regulasi 2019-2024
Law enforcement against capital market crimes, particularly insider trading, has become increasingly relevant in line with regulatory developments in Indonesia during the 2019–2024 period. This study aims to analyze the forms of criminal liability that can be imposed on directors and commissioners of securities companies in insider trading cases, as well as how current regulations strengthen or change previous legal approaches. This research uses a normative juridical method with a regulatory approach, case studies, and analysis of current legal literature. The results show that post-2019 regulations, including updates to the Capital Market Law and OJK regulations, expand the scope of criminal liability not only to direct perpetrators but also to parties with supervisory and control functions, such as commissioners and directors. It was also found that the principles of strict liability and command responsibility are beginning to be accommodated in capital market law enforcement practices. In conclusion, increased standards of corporate compliance and transparency require an active role from directors and commissioners, while also opening up the possibility of criminal liability in the event of negligence or involvement in insider trading practices.

Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Merek dan Indikasi Geografis Sebagai Aset Perusahaan Menurut Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2016
In the era of global business competition and the knowledge-based economy, intellectual property rights (IPR) have become strategic assets that provide significant added value to companies. This paper aims to examine the role of trademarks and geographical indications (GIs) as components of intangible assets that possess both economic and legal value. A trademark functions as an identity and marketing tool that enhances product reputation and consumer loyalty, while a geographical indication protects regional products whose quality is influenced by geographic, environmental, and cultural factors. This study employs a normative legal approach using literature research methods, focusing on legislation, academic works, and relevant case studies. The findings indicate that both trademarks and geographical indications have substantial potential as corporate assets, particularly in generating economic value and strengthening competitiveness in the global market. However, their implementation and utilization in Indonesia still face several challenges, including limited awareness among business actors, weak law enforcement, and insufficient intellectual property management capacity among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Therefore, it is essential to establish synergy between business actors, the government, and society to strengthen the protection and management of intellectual property rights as part of a sustainable national economic development strategy.
Implikasi Hukum Transaksi Jual Beli Tanah yang Tidak Melibatkan Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah (PPAT)
Land sale and purchase transactions are a form of land rights transfer that is legally regulated in Indonesian legislation, particularly in Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. One of the requirements for the validity of land rights transfer is the creation of a deed by a Land Deed Official (PPAT). However, in practice, there are still land sale and purchase transactions that do not involve a PPAT, which are only carried out privately between the parties. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of such transactions, both in terms of the validity of the transfer of rights, the strength of evidence, and the potential for legal disputes in the future. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and case studies. The results of the study show that land sale and purchase transactions that do not involve a PPAT do not have formal legal force to be registered with the land office, thus potentially causing legal uncertainty and ownership disputes. In addition, buyers are also in a vulnerable position because they do not have valid administrative proof of ownership. Therefore, the parties need to understand the applicable legal procedures so that land rights can be recognized and protected by law.
Adaptive Cyber Law Enforcement Strategies for Combating Digital Crime in Bone Regency
This study examines adaptive cyber law enforcement strategies to address digital crime in Bone Regency, a non-metropolitan area facing regulatory limitations, coordination challenges, and low digital literacy. A qualitative case study approach was employed through interviews with 15 stakeholders, including law enforcement officials, government representatives, legal practitioners, and academics, supplemented with observations and document analysis. The findings reveal four key issues: outdated regulations that do not cover emerging crimes such as deepfakes and encrypted fraud; weak inter-agency coordination caused by slow communication and the absence of standard procedures; limited technical capacity due to a shortage of digital forensic personnel and inadequate infrastructure; and low community awareness that increases vulnerability to cybercrime. Despite these obstacles, adaptive measures were identified, including collaboration with external institutions, local resource mobilization, and community-based education. The study recommends regulatory updates, capacity-building for law enforcement, standardized coordination mechanisms, and inclusive digital literacy programs. These strategies are essential to strengthen cyber law enforcement in non-metropolitan areas and inform policy at both local and national levels.
Effectiveness and Challenges of Cybercrime Law Enforcement in Bone Regency
This study analyzes the effectiveness of cybercrime law enforcement in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi, as a representation of non-metropolitan areas adapting to digital transformation. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving in-depth interviews with 15 key informants, limited participatory observations, and document reviews of legal and policy frameworks. The findings reveal that current regulations remain insufficiently adaptive to emerging digital crime modes such as deepfakes, AI-driven fraud, and data theft via encrypted applications. Moreover, inter-agency coordination remains suboptimal, characterized by delayed cross-jurisdictional communication, the absence of standardized operating procedures (SOPs), and the limited capacity of local cyber units. From a technical standpoint, law enforcement agencies face challenges including a shortage of digital forensic experts, inadequate budgets, and insufficient network infrastructure. On the community side, low digital literacy persists, reflected in delayed case reporting, misconceptions about third-party responsibility mechanisms, and weak awareness of personal data protection. Nevertheless, the study also identifies adaptive initiatives, including collaboration with local communities, stakeholder engagement, and the mobilization of available resources. These findings underscore the urgency of regularly updating regulations, strengthening technical capacity, and promoting inclusive digital literacy programs. Such measures are essential for reinforcing cyber law systems and ensuring resilience against digital crime in non-metropolitan regions.

The Kafala System: Perspective of Middle Eastern Culture and Its Impact on Migrant Workers
This study analyzes the kafala system in the Middle East, which is often regarded as a form of modern slavery against migrant workers. While the system has been examined from various perspectives, this research focuses on the relationship between the kafala system and Middle Eastern culture, as well as the influence of cultural factors on its persistence and implementation in the contemporary era. The study employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach based on secondary data, including books, journal articles, and international reports. The theoretical framework used is the Cultural Lag Theory developed by William Ogburn (1922). The analysis reveals that the current kafala system is a combination of traditional Middle Eastern cultural practices and the legacy of British colonialism during the 1970s, which has since evolved over time. Despite widespread international criticism, the system persists due to cultural values in the Middle East that support social hierarchy and control over foreign workers. Various reforms have been implemented to improve the welfare of migrant workers. This study affirms that understanding cultural factors is crucial in formulating a policy analysis basis and diplomatic strategies to strengthen the protection of Indonesian migrant workers.

This article aims to analyze the quality of human resources among mobile phone store employees in Bawen, Semarang Regency. The problem is focused on three main aspects, namely customer service, product knowledge, and digital marketing skills, which are considered influential in enhancing business competitiveness. To approach this problem, the study refers to theories of human resource management, marketing, and service communication. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with employees and store owners, as well as documentation related to the marketing strategies applied.

Komunikasi Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Musrenbang sebagai Instrumen Demokrasi Perencanaan Pembangunan di Kecamatan Siantar Martoba
National development requires systematic and participatory planning, as mandated by Law No. 25 of 2004 on the National Development Planning System. The Development Planning Deliberation Forum (Musrenbang) is designed to integrate community aspirations with local government agendas. However, in Siantar Martoba District its implementation still faces challenges, including weak socialization, government dominance, and limited representation of marginalized groups. This study examines communication in community participation during the 2025 Musrenbang. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving six key informants from local government, community leaders, and active participants. The results indicate that although Musrenbang is procedurally aligned with regulations, communication remains one-way, technocratic language hinders public understanding, and many community proposals are not realized in planning documents or development programs. The study concludes that Musrenbang functions more administratively than deliberatively, highlighting the need for more inclusive, transparent, and community-based communication strategies to strengthen participation in local development.

Identifikasi Ikonologi Musik Yogyakarta Royal Orchestra Melalui Perspektif Pariwisata dan Budaya
This article aims to identify the music iconology of the Yogyakarta Royal Orchestra's (YRO) through a tourism and cultural perspective. The problem focuses on the unidentified aspects of the YRO that could become musical icons that can be developed as tourist attractions based on a cultural perspective. To approach this problem, theoretical references from (Falvy 1977) related to musical iconology and its analysis and interpretation (Buckey, 1998) are used. The main data are interviews with key actors of the YRO and visitors to the show. The results of the interviews were analyzed qualitatively using triangulation methods to ensure the credibility of the results. The results indicate that the YRO has iconological potential and can become a musical tourism icon of the Yogyakarta Palace in the form of something that can be perceived by the senses (audio and visual) because it contains and represents the culture of the Yogyakarta Palace. This is because tourists are generally only able to capture audio-visual messages, not yet reaching the stage of meaning. Further holistic research is needed regarding the tourism aspects of the YRO in an effort to form a scientific framework for the related topic.

Strata as a Fangirl: How K-Pop Influencers Create a New Culture in Fangirling
This article addresses the limited research connecting fangirling with power relations in digital fandom and aims to analyze the role of K-Pop influencers in shaping collective opinion. The study focuses on how audiences, as active fans, perceive the symbolic influence of these figures. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved participatory observation on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, in-depth interviews with eight informants, and an exploratory survey of 20 K-Pop fans. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with Gramscian hegemony as the analytical lens. The findings indicate that most audiences (75%) tend to follow influencers’ directions without questioning, reflecting hegemonic practices sustained by affection, loyalty, and cultural consent. On the other hand, resistance also emerged, with some fans perceiving influencer dominance as limiting the space for open discussion. The study concludes that fangirling is a paradoxical cultural practice: while it fosters collective solidarity, it may also generate exclusivity and conflict. This research contributes novelty by framing hegemony as a fluid and negotiated practice, embedded in affective relations and digital interactions within fandom communities.

Urgensi Pembentukan Undang-Undang Tentang Pemerintah Digital Dalam Perspektif Hukum Tata Negara
The development of information technology has encouraged various countries to adopt digital-based government systems to improve efficiency, transparency and accountability of public services. In Indonesia, the implementation of the digital government concept has not been fully supported by a strong legal framework in the form of a law. Currently, digital government regulations are still scattered in various laws and regulations under the law, such as Presidential Regulations and Ministerial Regulations, which do not have the same legal force as laws and are vulnerable to changes and overlapping authorities. This research aims to analyze the urgency of establishing a Law on Digital Government from the perspective of constitutional law. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that the formation of this law is very important to ensure legal certainty, strengthen the principle of the rule of law, and regulate the division of authority between institutions constitutionally. In addition, the existence of a digital government law will be a strong legal foundation for the protection of citizens' rights in the digital space and support the realization of good governance In addition, the existence of a digital government law will be a strong legal foundation for the protection of citizens' rights in the digital space and support the realization of good governance. Thus, an immediate and serious legislative initiative is needed from the government and the DPR to draft and discuss the Digital Government Bill in accordance with the principles of constitutional law and the dynamics of digital society in the modern era.

The results showed a positive and significant relationship between independence and self-adjustment (r = 0.648; p = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (r²) of 0.420 indicates that independence contributes 42% to self-adjustment, while 58% is influenced by other factors. Descriptively, independence is in the moderate category (mean = 79.69) and self-adjustment is also moderate (mean = 90.17). This finding confirms that the higher the independence of students living away from home, the better their ability to adapt to the academic and social environment of their area of residence.
Oil Sludge Ecotourism: Promoting Conservation in the North Coastal Area of Bintan Island
The northern coast of Bintan Island, Indonesia, faces recurring oil sludge pollution during the northeast monsoon, primarily due to illegal discharges from ships in the Singapore Strait. This environmental threat has degraded coastal ecosystems, reduced fishery yields, and weakened tourism-based livelihoods. Currently, there is no coordinated response involving multiple stakeholders. Cleanup efforts are limited and fragmented. This study explores ecotourism as a strategic response to environmental and economic challenges. In response, the study introduces oil sludge ecotourism as a dual-purpose strategy that integrates coastal clean-up with sustainable tourism. By reframing remediation as a conservation-oriented experience, this model aligns with ecotourism principles emphasizing ecological restoration, community participation, and low-impact engagement with nature. It offers the potential to raise environmental awareness, diversify local incomes, and strengthen stewardship. If implemented effectively, oil sludge ecotourism could transform pollution-affected coastal zones into resilient, conservation-driven destinations. This model may serve as a replicable solution for other regions facing similar challenges, demonstrating how environmental degradation can be converted into opportunities for sustainable development.
Penerimaan Masyarakat Terhadap Modernisasi Pembangunan Stadion Sepak Bola di Kabupaten Kotabaru
Modernization of development has become the development goal of the Kotabaru district government through the construction of a modern football stadium. This article aims to explore and analyze the potential social, economic, and public acceptance impacts of constructing a football stadium in Kotabaru Regency. To address this problem, a literature analysis and field data were employed. The data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews and analyzed qualitatively. This study concludes that the presence of a football stadium in the new city district has a social impact as a public space. The economic impact is the creation of formal and informal sector jobs, driving economic growth and local revenue. The construction of a football stadium has the potential to generate conflict, particularly regarding land acquisition, unequal distribution of economic benefits, and conflict between football fans. Active community participation as a form of positive acceptance in both the planning and management processes can reduce the potential for conflict, strengthen transparency, and increase social legitimacy for the construction of a football stadium.
Perubahan Upacara Sayur matua pada Masyarakat Simalungun di Desa Saribu Dolok, Kecamatan Silimakuta, Kabupaten Simalungun
This study aims to analyze changes in the implementation of the Sayur Matua death ceremony in the Simalungun community in Saribu Dolok Village, Silimakuta District, Simalungun Regency. The method used is a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview technique with one key informant, namely Mr. Simarmata, a community leader who understands local traditions. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Sayur Matua ceremony has undergone various changes, both in terms of structure, symbols, and meaning. These changes are influenced by several main factors, including modernization, the entry of foreign culture, and shifts in social values among the younger generation. Traditional elements such as Gonrang Sipitu-pitu are still retained, although in a simpler form and not as complete as before. These findings show that there is a dynamic between cultural preservation and the need to adapt to the times. This research is expected to be a contribution to the study of local culture, as well as a consideration in efforts to preserve intangible cultural heritage, especially in the context of the Simalungun indigenous people.
Corporate Social Disclosures and Financial Performance of Selected Nigerian Banks: Implications For Corporate Leadership
The study examines the effect of corporate social disclosures on the financial performance of selected banks in Nigeria. The study uses the ex post facto research design to realize its purpose. The study focuses on six years from 2015 to 2021 financial year. The sample size comprises ten listed banks in Nigeria. The results show that there is a negative relationship between social disclosures and the financial performance of banks in Nigeria. The findings show that the social performance of the banking sector needs improvement. The findings align with prior studies on the effect of social disclosures on the financial performance of banks. However, the results of the current study do not agree with some prior empirical studies. This inconclusive evidence provides a framework to guide corporate leadership in the way they conceptualize social performance and the business case arising from the same. The study recommends that banks improve their social performance and make their social disclosures more transparent and measurable to actualize the ability of stakeholders to rely on social performance information.
