This study aims to describe and analyze the communication strategy of the General Affairs (GA) Division of PT The UNV Serang in managing work relationships with outsourced workers from PT Tri Karya Cemerlang (TKC). Using a qualitative approach and in-depth interview methods, this study found that the GA Division implemented a structured and effective communication strategy, reflecting a deep understanding of Communication Strategy Theory, Organizational Communication, and Communication Management. The strategy involved thorough planning, flexible implementation, and continuous evaluation. The GA Division used various communication channels such as WhatsApp groups, weekly face-to-face meetings, and the use of visual media (photos/videos) to ensure clear and directed communication. This multi-channel approach facilitated timely and accurate information flow between departments and outsourced workers. Additionally, the GA Division positioned itself as a "communication bridge," centralizing coordination for all departments and ensuring smooth operational processes. The communication pattern employed was an effective combination of formal, hierarchical communication and informal, personal communication. This combination served to strengthen relationships, foster mutual understanding, and promote a collaborative work environment. The study highlights the importance of a strategic and adaptable communication framework that ensures seamless coordination, promotes positive work relationships, and contributes to organizational success. This research can serve as a reference for improving communication strategies in similar organizational settings.

This research is motivated by the importance of business licensing in the trade of goods and services sector as an instrument of legality, supervision, and legal protection; however, its implementation still faces gaps between normative regulations and practices in the field. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of business actors’ compliance with licensing obligations, identify obstacles in the implementation of risk-based licensing policies, and evaluate their impact on compliance. The method used is library research with a normative juridical approach, through an examination of primary legal materials in the form of laws and related regulations, as well as secondary and tertiary legal materials from scientific literature. The results show that the effectiveness of risk-based licensing policies has not been optimally achieved due to low legal literacy, limited digital understanding, and the perception that licenses are merely a formality, causing many business actors to neglect administrative obligations. This condition illustrates the existence of a gap between regulatory objectives and implementation practices. These findings emphasize the need for procedural simplification, intensified socialization, and strengthened technical assistance so that licensing policies become more responsive to the needs of business actors, while simultaneously encouraging compliance and enhancing national economic competitiveness.

The rapid development of Islamic banking in Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining liquidity and profitability amidst dynamic capital market conditions. The urgency of this study arises from the need to examine whether traditional financial ratios, such as the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Return on Equity (ROE), play a decisive role in influencing investment decisions, which are proxied by the Price to Earning Ratio (PER). The main objective of this research is to empirically test the effect of liquidity and profitability, both partially and simultaneously, on investment decisions in Islamic commercial banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. This study adopts an associative design with a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data from financial reports obtained from the IDX, and analyzed using multiple linear regression on 68 observation samples. The findings reveal that neither liquidity nor profitability significantly influence investment decisions, either partially or simultaneously. These results suggest that investors in the Islamic banking sector tend to prioritize non-financial factors such as sharia compliance, governance, macroeconomic conditions, and ESG trends, rather than conventional financial indicators. In conclusion, this research extends the understanding of the limitations of Signaling Theory in the sharia context and recommends the development of a more holistic investment evaluation model. Future studies are encouraged to incorporate non-financial variables for a more comprehensive analysis.

Symbolic interactionism is an approach that examines how symbols and meanings are created through interactions between individuals within a learning context. This approach explores how individuals use symbols to communicate, interact, and understand the world around them. In the context of the learning process, symbolic interactionist analysis can provide a deep understanding of how learning occurs through interactions between teachers and students, as well as among students themselves. Through this analysis, we can observe how symbols such as language, gestures, and expressions are used to communicate ideas and concepts being taught in the classroom. Additionally, symbolic interactionist analysis can also help us understand how individuals construct their identities within the learning environment. In the modern era of education, the interaction between teachers and students has become one of the crucial aspects of the learning process. Through social interaction and the use of symbols, individuals can shape their perceptions of themselves and how they are viewed by others. This can affect their motivation and engagement in learning. Thus, symbolic interactionist analysis offers valuable insights into understanding the learning process and how interactions between individuals play a key role in the construction of meaning and understanding. Through this understanding, we can improve the quality of learning and provide more meaningful learning experiences for students. Communication does not only occur through words but also through nonverbal communication, including facial expressions, body movements, and other gestures. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how symbolic interactionism plays a role in learning and how nonverbal communication influences the dynamics of classroom interaction.

Mediation, as one of the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms in civil cases, aims to provide efficient, timely, and non-confrontational solutions for disputing parties. Within the Indonesian legal system, mediation has been formally regulated through the Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in Court. This study seeks to examine the implementation of civil dispute resolution through mediation from a legal perspective while also assessing its empirical effectiveness in district courts. The research employs an empirical juridical approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with mediator judges, advocates, and disputing parties who have participated in the mediation process, supported by documentation studies of civil case decisions resolved through mediation. The findings reveal that, normatively, mediation has a sufficiently strong legal foundation as an alternative method of dispute resolution. However, its practical effectiveness remains constrained by several challenges, such as the limited understanding and legal awareness of disputing parties, time constraints faced by mediator judges, and the absence of an optimal supervisory mechanism for monitoring mediation practices. These factors contribute to the relatively low success rate of mediation in practice. Therefore, improvements are required in the implementation of regulations, the establishment of more effective monitoring systems, and the enhancement of human resource capacity, particularly mediator competence. Strengthening these aspects is expected to enable mediation to function more effectively as a fair, efficient, and accessible mechanism for resolving civil disputes in Indonesia.

Public information disclosure is a manifestation of open and accountable government which is the basis for publik information requests. Everyone has the right to obtain public information through the mechanism of requesting information from public bodies. The problem that arises is that some information requessts are not made in good faith thereby failing to reflect the purpose of public information disclosure as a means of monitoring government performance. To adress this issue there is a mechanism to terminate the resolution of such information disputes in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of terminating informastion disputes that are not conducted in good faith and the obstacles in its implementation. The results of the study indicate that the termination of informastion disputes that are not conducted in good faith is not yet effective due to factors that influence the effectiveness of the law in society not being fulfilled including legal factors, societal factors, and cultural factors. The obstacles faced in the implementation of the termination of public information disputes that are not conducted in good faith include legal enforcement mechanism, public information management, and understanding of public information transparency. The effectiveness of a law is determined by the overall elements supporting its enforcement so it is hoped that the implementation of the termination of publik information disputes does not violate human rights and citizens’ rights.

Patriarchy in the modern era still persists despite continuous efforts to achieve gender equality across various aspects of life, including education, the workplace, and social interactions. Its presence is often reinforced through mass media, particularly in television series. The drama series “Bid’ah” vividly portrays the impact of patriarchy on women’s lives, both in domestic settings and in the public sphere. This study aims to examine the extent to which exposure to the series “Bid’ah” influences viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This research employed a quantitative approach involving 100 undergraduate students from the Communication Science program at Universitas Bina Bangsa. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where participants were selected based on specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale to measure the respondents’ perceptions. The data were then analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The findings indicate a significant influence between exposure to the series and viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This is evidenced by a correlation coefficient of 0.405 (p-value 0.000) and a coefficient of determination of 0.164. These results suggest that 16.4% of the variance in perceptions of patriarchy can be explained by exposure to the “Bid’ah” series, while 83.6% is influenced by other factors beyond this study. These findings highlight the important role of media in shaping social perceptions, particularly regarding gender norms and patriarchal values. This study contributes to the understanding of how media, especially television dramas, can both reinforce and challenge gender stereotypes, while also providing insights into the potential influence of media content on audiences’ attitudes toward gender equality.

This study examines the application of the ultra petita principle in decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, focusing on the case study of Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. The ultra petita principle is classically understood as a prohibition for judges to rule beyond what is explicitly requested by the parties to the case. However, in practice, the Constitutional Court often uses this principle flexibly to ensure substantive justice and the effective protection of citizens' constitutional rights. This shows how constitutional adjudication in Indonesia tends to prioritize substantive justice over procedural limitations. This thesis aims to analyze the legal basis used by the Constitutional Court when deciding ultra petita cases, while also examining the resulting legal implications for the administrative system of lawmaking in Indonesia. Using a normative legal approach, this study finds that the Constitutional Court positions itself as the sole interpreter of the constitution with progressive authority. In this sense, the Court's decisions may expand its role beyond the traditional boundaries of judicial authority. However, the Constitutional Court's ultra petita practice has the potential to raise concerns about judicial overreach. Ultra petita decisions not only resolve constitutional disputes but also have the potential to create new legal norms that can directly influence the legislative process and even change the structure of national law. Such outcomes raise the question of how to maintain a balance between judicial activism and legislative supremacy. Therefore, it is crucial to establish clear legal boundaries to ensure the Court remains within the constitutional framework, upholds the principle of checks and balances, and prevents conflicts of authority between branches of state power. Therefore, this research contributes to the academic understanding of the dynamics of the Constitutional Court's authority and the urgency of strengthening the rules of the game in maintaining harmony in the Indonesian state system.

This study aims to analyze the authority structure between the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and Regional Governments in managing coastal areas through marine spatial utilization following the enactment of Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation into Law. The main instrument studied is the Confirmation of Conformity of Marine Spatial Utilization Activities (KKPRL), which functions as a licensing instrument and a control mechanism to ensure that marine spatial utilization activities remain directed, integrated, and aligned with the principles of ecological, social, and economic sustainability. The research approach used is a juridical-empirical approach with a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Through this approach, the research not only examines legal norms but also captures the practice of implementing authority in the field. The results show that although the Job Creation Law is oriented towards simplifying business licensing, several problems remain that have implications for the effectiveness of coastal governance. These issues include disharmony between central and regional regulations, overlapping authority between the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKPRL) and regional governments, and weak synchronization between national policies and regional instruments such as the Coastal and Small Islands Zoning Plan (RZWP3K). In addition to regulatory constraints, this study also highlights institutional and technical aspects. Limited human resource capacity in the regions, a lack of understanding of KKPRL procedures, and minimal inter-agency coordination hamper the effectiveness of coastal management. These conditions result in slow investment realization, conflicts over spatial use, and potential coastal environmental degradation. Therefore, this study recommends a strategy for harmonizing authority through improving vertical-horizontal coordination, strengthening the institutional capacity of regional governments, and developing derivative regulations consistent with the principles of good governance.

This research is entitled "Socialization of the General Election Commission in Increasing Voter Participation in the 2024 Regent and Deputy Regent Election of Ciamis Regency (Case Study in Ciamis District)". The focus of this research is to determine how the implementation of socialization carried out by the General Election Commission (KPU) of Ciamis Regency in an effort to increase public participation in the 2024 Regent and Deputy Regent Election, especially in the Ciamis District area. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews with related parties, direct observation of socialization activities, and collection of supporting documentation. The data obtained are analyzed qualitatively through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the Ciamis Regency KPU carried out socialization by referring to the Theory of Three Elements of Socialization proposed by Haryanto (2018) in the book Political Socialization: An Initial Understanding. The three elements include: Socialization Agents, namely parties who play a role in conveying information, such as KPU officers, District Election Committees (PPK), and community leaders, Socialization Materials, including information regarding election stages, voting procedures, the importance of voting rights, and the role of the community in maintaining democracy, Socialization Methods, which are carried out through face-to-face meetings, leaflet distribution, banner installation, social media, and community-based activities. Although socialization activities have been carried out in a planned manner and involved various media, research results indicate that their implementation has not been optimal. Some obstacles found include limited reach to all levels of society, minimal participation in socialization activities, and a lack of innovation in information delivery methods. In conclusion, the socialization carried out by the Ciamis Regency KPU for the 2024 Regent and Deputy Regent Election has been running but needs to be increased in intensity, creativity, and equal distribution of targets so that voter participation can be maximized.

The development of information and communication technology (ICT), particularly the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, has transformed Indonesia's national security threat landscape. Threats that previously focused on traditional military aspects have now shifted to non-traditional cyber threats, such as cyberattacks, digital espionage, and infrastructure sabotage. According to PROXSIS IT GRC data, in 2024, more than 19 million cyberattacks were recorded against websites in Indonesia. While this figure is a decrease compared to the previous year, this trend is thought to reflect a shift towards more structured and organized tactics by threat actors. In response, the Indonesian government established the National Cybersecurity Action Plan 2024–2028 as a strategic guideline. Furthermore, cyber diplomacy is being promoted through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, for example through the signing of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the UK and Kaspersky. This cooperation includes the exchange of intelligence information, strengthening human resource capacity, raising public awareness regarding cybersecurity, and protecting critical information infrastructure. This study uses non-traditional security theory and defense diplomacy to analyze the strategies, challenges, and prospects of Indonesia's cyber policy. The analysis demonstrates that cyber defense diplomacy plays a crucial role as an instrument for integrating technology, regulation, and international collaboration in safeguarding digital sovereignty. In addition to strengthening threat detection and mitigation capabilities, this diplomacy also builds networks of trust with partner nations, which is essential amidst the increasing complexity of global threats. Therefore, in the era of digital globalization, full of interconnections, cyber defense diplomacy serves not only as a national protection tool but also as Indonesia's contribution to global cybersecurity stability. This effort prioritizes synergy between technological innovation, law enforcement, and sustainable international cooperation.

This study analyzes the phenomenon of judgmental attitudes among women in public spaces, particularly in women-only train carriages, through the perspective of radical feminism and the concept of internalized misogyny. Internalized misogyny is a form of internalization of sexist and discriminatory values ​​against women that are accepted and carried out by women themselves without realizing it, as a result of the influence of patriarchal culture that has taken root in society. This judgmental attitude appears in the form of rivalry, mutual demeaning, and the tendency to compare oneself with other women to gain validation or feel superior. A case study conducted in a women-only train carriage shows that spaces that should be safe for women actually create new social dynamics, such as competition for facilities, conflicts between passengers, and the erosion of empathy and solidarity among women. These findings indicate that internalized misogyny exacerbates negative stereotypes against women and strengthens rivalries between them, thus creating an environment that does not support solidarity. For example, women tend to demean each other or feel threatened when they are in spaces that should be safe for them. This research highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms of internalized misogyny and its impact on women's social interactions in public spaces, as this phenomenon hinders the creation of more equal and supportive relationships between women. A deeper understanding of these dynamics can facilitate women's empowerment and foster stronger solidarity within society. Therefore, it is crucial for women to dismantle their internalized patriarchal values to foster equality and support among women in public spaces.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of public interest in the implementation of public services by the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Bekasi Regency, as well as to evaluate the extent to which the implementation of these principles contributes to efforts to realize people's welfare. The principle of public interest is one of the basic principles in the implementation of public services that emphasizes the fulfillment of basic rights of the community in a fair, fast, equitable, and accountable manner. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations in the field, and documentation studies on various policies and service reports. The results of the study show that the Bekasi Regency Disdukcapil has adopted various innovations in services, such as online services, digital queue systems, the use of information technology-based applications, and increasing the transparency of service information through social media and official websites. These steps are taken to improve accessibility, efficiency, effectiveness, and community satisfaction as service recipients. However, the implementation of the principle of public interest still faces several obstacles, such as limited competent human resources (HR), uneven information technology infrastructure, and low digital literacy among certain communities, especially the elderly and people in suburban areas. This condition results in the suboptimal public service oriented to the public interest to the maximum. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed through increasing the capacity of the apparatus, the development of inclusive and adaptive public service technology, and massive education to the public to increase participation, understanding, and awareness of the available services. Thus, the public services that are carried out can really contribute to realizing the welfare of the people as a whole, equitable, and just.

One form of crime that is highly relevant in the context of today's society is the crime of embezzlement in office. This embezzlement can be defined as a dishonest act committed by one or more individuals by hiding goods or property belonging to another person without the owner's knowledge. This action aims to transfer ownership of the goods, which can be categorized as theft, taking possession of goods, or using the goods for unauthorized personal gain. In many cases, embezzlement in office often involves individuals who have access or authority over company assets, making it easier for them to commit misuse. This study applies a normative juridical research method to analyze existing problems in the context of criminal law. This method allows researchers to explore and understand applicable legal norms and how they are applied in real cases. The results of the study show that the Judge's Ratio Decidendi in imposing sanctions on cases of embezzlement in office, as stated in Decision Number 542/Pid.B/2023/PN Cbi and Decision Number 355/Pid.B/2024/PN Cbi, is based on a number of in-depth legal considerations. In this case, the judge first explained the elements contained in Article 374 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) charged by the public prosecutor. The defendant was found guilty of committing embezzlement in office by embezzling company funds for personal gain. Therefore, the defendant was sentenced commensurate with his actions, which violated Article 374 of the Criminal Code. Criminal liability for the perpetrator of the crime of embezzlement in office has been legally and convincingly proven, with all elements of the charge having been fulfilled. This indicates that the perpetrator can be subject to sanctions in accordance with applicable legal provisions, thus providing a deterrent effect and upholding justice in the criminal law system. This research is expected to contribute to the development of understanding regarding embezzlement in office and its legal implications in Indonesia, as well as encourage more effective law enforcement in handling similar cases in the future.

This study examines the primary motivations of authors in creating erotic slash fanfiction using Thai boys-in-love actors on the app X. Adopting a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, and interpreted through the lens of Symbolic Interactionism Theory and Labeling Theory, this study highlights how authors understand and interact with this phenomenon. The findings indicate that authors perceive their work as a form of self-expression, art, and entertainment, despite being aware of the potential for labeling as pornography or violating legal norms. Their primary motivation stems from the fulfillment of personal imagination and self-satisfaction, which is significantly strengthened by the validation and support of a supportive online community. This community also plays a crucial role in shaping unwritten norms and providing psychological buffers against potential external negative views. Authors demonstrate various strategic responses, including the use of disclaimers and a realistic acceptance of societal perceptions. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a nuanced understanding of online subcultural practices, fostering digital literacy, and suggesting a wise and adaptive approach to content regulation in the digital age. This study also provides insights into how authors of erotic fanfiction on online platforms like X interact with popular cultural values and gender identity. The authors in this study are not only connected to their communities but also engaged in a broader process of identity construction through the characters they create. The Thai boy-love actor, a frequent inspiration in their work, serves as a symbol that reinforces the representation of non-heteronormative relationships, providing space for a more free and inclusive exploration of sexual identity.

This research is motivated by the importance of understanding the niqab (face veil) as a religious symbol and an identity marker for Muslim women, which continues to spark public debate in Indonesia. The niqab is often viewed from various perspectives—religious, cultural, social, and political—making it a controversial topic. These differing viewpoints highlight the need for a deeper exploration of the meaning and practice of wearing the niqab, especially within Islamic higher education institutions. The study aims to examine both the normative and sociological aspects of niqab use among female students at Ma’had Al-Birr, Muhammadiyah University (Unismuh) Makassar. This institution is known for having a significant number of students who wear the niqab, each with different backgrounds and motivations, ranging from theological beliefs to personal convictions and environmental influences. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a field-based approach. It combines normative Islamic theological perspectives with sociological analysis, using data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that students perceive the niqab not merely as a religious obligation to cover one's aurat (parts of the body that should be concealed), but also as a symbol of piety, honor, obedience, and personal ijtihad (independent reasoning) in practicing Islamic teachings. An inclusive campus environment supports these students in engaging freely in both academic and social activities. However, challenges still arise, particularly in the form of stereotypes and perceptions of exclusivity that some individuals associate with niqab wearers. These misconceptions underscore the importance of cross-perspective understanding in addressing this phenomenon. This study is expected to contribute to the development of campus policies that support freedom of expression, uphold mutual respect, and promote a more inclusive, open, and tolerant atmosphere within Islamic higher education institutions—one that embraces the diversity of religious practices and encourages respectful coexistence.
