This study examines the implementation of the advertising tax policy and its role in supporting Regional Original Income (PAD) in Gresik Regency, and identifies barriers that affect its effectiveness. This research adopted a qualitative descriptive approach with data obtained from field studies involving key government officials and supported by relevant literature and regulatory documents. Data were analyzed using McNabb's (2002) framework, which includes grouping data based on constructs, identifying the basis for interpretation, developing generalizations, testing alternative interpretations, and refining theoretical insights. The results indicate that the implementation of the advertising tax policy in Gresik focuses more on intensification than extensification, as intensification is considered more practical and faces less resistance. The licensing and collection processes for advertising tax are carried out based on the legal framework of Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2023 concerning Regional Taxes and Levies and Regent Regulation No. 79 of 2023, which regulates the rental value of advertising as the basis for taxation. Despite significant revenue potential, significant challenges remain, such as inter-agency coordination issues, inadequate data collection, and technical and non-technical barriers in implementing this policy. Unclear legal sanctions and low public awareness and compliance are also inhibiting factors. Nevertheless, advertising tax revenue has generally reached its target, although certain periods were affected by unfavorable economic conditions. This study concludes that to maximize the contribution of advertising tax to local revenue (PAD), improved inter-agency coordination, strengthened institutional capacity, clarified regulatory sanctions, and enhanced public education and engagement are needed. This is expected to support regional fiscal independence in Gresik Regency.

The Child Identity Card (KIA) is an official document issued to children aged 0–17 years as a form of early recognition and protection of legal identity. The issuance of the KIA aims to support orderly population administration, facilitate access to public services, and strengthen child protection in various social, educational, and health aspects. In Bintan Regency, this policy has been implemented since 2017 and was reinforced through Regent Regulation No. 6 of 2022. However, in 2024, the KIA ownership rate only reached 53.48%, the lowest figure in the Riau Islands Province. This figure indicates a serious gap between policy and implementation in the field. In fact, the Bintan Regency Population and Civil Registration Office's Work Plan (Renja) set the KIA ownership target for 2024 at 65%, with the final realization being only 62%. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the low KIA ownership rate. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants consisted of Disdukcapil officials and the community as service recipients. The implementation model used was Merilee S. Grindle's theory, which emphasizes six critical variables in policy success, including resources, communication, and implementer characteristics. The results of the study indicate that despite an increase in demand for KIA due to administrative requirements in education services, BPJS, and social programs, significant obstacles remain. These obstacles include limited outreach, a lack of service infrastructure in coastal and remote areas, and technical constraints such as a suboptimal online system. Therefore, acceleration strategies are needed, such as increasing the intensity of cross-sector outreach, integrating KIA services into integrated health post (Posyandu) and school programs, adding mobile services, and training local human resources.  

Improving the quality of children's health is one of the main priorities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in addressing stunting prevention in Indonesia. Stunting remains a serious challenge in public health development, especially among young children who suffer from chronic malnutrition. To tackle this issue, effective nutritional education is essential, especially for young mothers who play a central role in caregiving and determining their children's dietary intake. In line with the shift in information consumption patterns from conventional media to digital platforms, social media is becoming increasingly significant as a channel for health communication and education. One emerging phenomenon in this context is the rise of public figures from the medical profession actively sharing health-related content online, commonly referred to as “doctor influencers.” This study aims to analyze the digital communication strategies employed by doctor influencers, using the Instagram account @mizaafrizal, owned by Dr. Miza Afrizal, as a case study, focusing on how he educates young mothers about child nutrition. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as content observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review on digital communication and health promotion. The findings indicate that Dr. Miza employs a persuasive and interactive communication strategy through the use of humanistic language, visually engaging content, and scientifically supported information in each post. He also leverages Instagram features like reels, stories, and the comment section to establish two-way communication with his followers. Dr. Miza’s credibility as a pediatrician enhances the reception of his messages. His approachable, clear, and educational style of delivery successfully captures the attention of young mothers and increases their understanding of the importance of nutrition in early childhood development. These findings highlight the influential role of doctor influencers as change agents in raising public awareness about child nutrition. Moreover, they contribute positively to digital-based health promotion efforts in Indonesia, showing the potential of social media as a powerful platform to support national health initiatives.  

The Batanghari River is a vital water source in Jambi Province, used by the community for various purposes, including domestic, agricultural, and fisheries needs. However, with increasing human activities, such as the discharge of household waste, industrial waste, and agricultural waste, the river's water quality is at risk of microbiological contamination that can endanger public health and the environment. This study aims to identify the presence of bacteria in the Batanghari River water, in order to assess the potential for biological contamination that can negatively impact public health and the surrounding ecosystem. The method used in this study included taking water samples from several locations along the river. After sampling, bacterial isolation and identification were carried out using Nutrient Agar (NA) media using the pour method. The results of the isolation process showed the growth of bacterial colonies that varied in shape, size, and color, indicating microbiological contamination, especially by heterotrophic bacteria. These findings indicate that the Batanghari River water contains microorganisms that reflect the potential for microbiological contamination. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of regular water quality monitoring and the need for sustainable management measures to maintain the health of the ecosystem and surrounding community. With routine monitoring, it is hoped that potential contamination that could be harmful to health can be detected early. Furthermore, the results of this study are expected to form the basis for better policy-making in water resource management and increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining water quality for sustainable life and environmental health. This study provides a preliminary overview of the microbiological condition of the Batanghari River water and emphasizes the need for greater attention in water resource management to prevent negative impacts on health and the environment.

The practice of overclaiming in the skincare industry, particularly through e-commerce platforms, has emerged as a critical concern in the realm of consumer protection law. Misleading product claims, especially regarding active ingredients such as retinol, can not only compromise consumer trust but also pose health risks. This study aims to analyze the legal responsibility of business actors in cases of exaggerated product claims, with a focus on the ElsheSkin case, in which the retinol content was scientifically proven to differ significantly from what was stated on the product label. Employing a juridical-normative and descriptive-analytical approach, this study uses secondary data derived from relevant legislation, expert commentary, regulatory standards, and digital media content. The findings indicate that ElsheSkin’s mislabeling constitutes a violation of the principle of transparency and the right of consumers to obtain accurate product information as regulated in Indonesian consumer protection law, particularly Law No. 8 of 1999. Despite the violation, ElsheSkin displayed a degree of legal and ethical responsibility by conducting a product recall, offering compensation to affected consumers, issuing a public apology, and initiating improvements to internal quality control mechanisms. The case underscores the urgent need for stronger regulatory oversight in the digital marketplace, especially in the skincare sector, where scientific claims can be easily manipulated for marketing gain. It also emphasizes the importance of enhancing public awareness and education regarding product ingredients and their actual effects. In conclusion, while business actors are legally bound to ensure the accuracy of product information, there must also be a collaborative effort between regulators, companies, and consumers to create a more transparent and trustworthy digital commercial environment.  

Digital transformation in land administration is a strategic step by the Indonesian government to realize a more efficient, transparent, and secure land registration system. One concrete form of this transformation is the implementation of electronic land certificates (e-certificates) regulated in the Ministerial Regulation of ATR/BPN No. 1 of 2021. This article aims to analyze the implementation of electronic land certificates as a legal innovation in the national land registration system and examine the challenges and solutions faced in its implementation. Using a normative juridical approach supported by literature studies and analysis of laws and regulations, this article finds that e-certificates have a strong legal basis and great potential in reducing agrarian conflicts, accelerating the registration process, and strengthening legal protection of land rights. However, its implementation is still faced with structural obstacles, such as limited information technology infrastructure, low digital literacy of the community, and resistance to system changes. Therefore, a strong policy commitment, an inclusive implementation strategy, and strengthening regulations and institutions are needed to ensure the success of the digitalization of the land system in Indonesia. Electronic land certificates are not only an administrative tool, but also a symbol of legal reform and equitable land governance in the digital era. Furthermore, enhancing public awareness and education regarding e-certificates is crucial to foster acceptance and understanding among stakeholders. Engaging various community groups in the digital transformation process can also facilitate smoother transitions and promote a culture of innovation in land administration. Ultimately, the successful implementation of e-certificates can serve as a model for other sectors undergoing digital transformation in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the efforts made by the Sukabumi City Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) in enforcing Mayor Regulation Number 05 of 2014 concerning restrictions on the operating hours of night entertainment venues. The regulation was implemented to maintain public order, reduce social disturbances, and ensure community comfort, particularly during nighttime hours in urban environments. Using a sociological legal approach with qualitative methods, data were collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders, field observations, and literature reviews. The findings reveal that Satpol PP has undertaken various enforcement efforts, including routine patrols to monitor venue compliance, educational outreach to business owners regarding regulations, and administrative sanctions such as written warnings and temporary closures for violators. Despite these initiatives, several challenges hinder the optimal enforcement of the regulation. These include limited human resources and operational infrastructure within Satpol PP, inconsistent public awareness of the regulation, and resistance from certain business actors who view the regulation as a barrier to economic activity and local tourism development. Moreover, coordination between relevant agencies, such as tourism and licensing departments, remains suboptimal. This study emphasizes the need for stronger inter-agency synergy, increased budget allocation, and ongoing public education to foster better compliance. It also suggests capacity-building programs for enforcement officers and the implementation of community-based monitoring systems to enhance transparency and support. In conclusion, although Satpol PP has shown commitment to implementing the regulation, the effectiveness of enforcement can be significantly improved through strategic resource optimization, cross-sector collaboration, and a participatory approach involving both authorities and the community.

In the rapidly evolving digital era, data breaches have emerged as a serious threat, particularly in the e-commerce sector which handles vast amounts of customers’ personal data. The protection of personal data has therefore become a crucial issue, requiring effective regulation to ensure digital privacy. In response to this growing concern, Indonesia enacted the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) in 2022 as a significant step toward strengthening digital privacy and security. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2022 PDP Law in addressing customer data breach incidents on e-commerce platforms in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this research analyzes several high-profile data breach cases involving major e-commerce companies in the country. The findings indicate that, although the PDP Law has established a clear legal framework regarding the obligations of reporting and managing data breaches, its implementation still faces multiple challenges. Some companies have not fully complied with the legal timeframes for notifying users, and there is a general lack of transparency in how data breach incidents are managed. These shortcomings reveal a gap between the regulatory framework and practical enforcement in the field. Furthermore, the study highlights the limited public awareness and the insufficient preparedness of some companies in responding to data security incidents in accordance with the law. As a result, the rights of consumers to be informed and protected are not always upheld effectively. This research recommends stronger supervision by relevant authorities to ensure stricter enforcement of the PDP Law. It also underscores the need for ongoing education and intensive training for e-commerce companies to enhance their capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to data breaches in compliance with the legal standards. By reinforcing regulatory implementation and organizational readiness, Indonesia can better safeguard digital consumer rights in the growing e-commerce landscape.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by infection with bacteria from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex group. TB prevention efforts are crucial, especially for individuals at high risk of exposure, to disrupt the chain of transmission of this disease. The intervention aimed to increase community understanding of TOSS TB (Find, Treat, Treat Until Cured) so that it can be applied in daily life. It is expected that after the intervention, participants' knowledge will increase, as will their ability to demonstrate the practices taught appropriately. Data collection was conducted through a mini-survey of the community in the local Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area. The data obtained were then analyzed using the Blum Paradigm to identify factors contributing to the problem. Problem prioritization was carried out using the non-scoring Delphi method, while root cause analysis was conducted using a fishbone diagram. During the intervention process, pre- and post-tests were conducted to evaluate changes in the level of knowledge of villagers before and after the intervention. For program monitoring and evaluation, the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle approach and a systems approach were used. The analysis using the Blum Paradigm showed that lifestyle was the primary contributing factor to the problem. After the intervention, three participants were able to repeat the material effectively, demonstrating a better understanding of TB prevention. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the intervention was successful and is expected to encourage improvements in public health in the village. Furthermore, this program is also expected to serve as a model for other public health interventions, thereby expanding the positive impact of TB control efforts in other areas. Thus, public awareness and knowledge about TB can continue to increase, which in turn will contribute to reducing TB incidence in Indonesia and improving the overall quality of life of the community.

Every air traveler needs to understand the importance of dangerous goods. By understanding the nature and risks of these items, precautions can be taken to prevent accidents and ensure safe travel for all. In practice, numerous passengers have experienced delays at security checkpoints due to carrying prohibited or restricted items such as lighters, sharp tools like scissors, aerosols, and high-capacity power banks. These incidents not only disrupt airport operations but also highlight gaps in public awareness regarding aviation safety regulations.This study aims to examine the influence of knowledge about dangerous goods on flight safety, with a focus on passengers traveling through El-Tari Airport in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. A quantitative research method was employed by distributing 100 structured questionnaires to respondents using purposive sampling, targeting passengers with prior flight experience. Data analysis techniques included simple linear regression, T-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²) to assess the relationship between knowledge levels and safety behavior. The findings show that knowledge about dangerous goods (variable X) significantly influences passenger safety behavior (variable Y), evidenced by a p-value of 0.000. This indicates a strong and positive correlation, where better knowledge leads to more responsible behavior during air travel. The R-square value of 0.530 suggests that 53% of variations in safety behavior can be explained by knowledge, while the remaining 47% may be influenced by other factors such as attitudes, past experiences, signage visibility, and staff communication.These findings underscore the urgent need for intensified public education efforts at airports through visual campaigns, digital information, and pre-flight reminders. Improving passenger knowledge about dangerous goods can significantly enhance overall flight safety and reduce the risk of delays or violations. Future research could explore the role of demographic factors or the effectiveness of current educational strategies.

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva commonly affecting individuals of all ages. In Indonesia, its rising prevalence raises concerns due to its impact on quality of life and potential for community transmission. This program aimed to improve public awareness and prevention of conjunctivitis, particularly in the Puskesmas area. Cause analysis was conducted using Blum’s Paradigm, with data collected via a mini-survey. Problem prioritization applied the non-scoring Delphi method, and root causes were identified using a fishbone diagram. The intervention focused on health education and proper handwashing demonstrations. Evaluation was conducted using the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle and a continuous monitoring system. Results showed an increase in post-test scores following education sessions, indicating improved community understanding of proper hand hygiene to prevent conjunctivitis transmission. The initiative is expected to continue as part of community health promotion and prevention efforts.

Text analysis methods are used to understand the social, cultural, and psychological contexts behind each quote. The results show that the speech acts in these quotes function not only as motivation but also as tools for shaping positive thought patterns and behaviors. The implications of these findings demonstrate the important role of language in building public awareness and enthusiasm. This research is expected to contribute to the development of linguistics and social psychology studies, as well as encourage the use of inspirational language in everyday life.

Animal quarantine plays a crucial role in preventing the smuggling of wildlife, particularly protected bird species. Although this is regulated under Law Number 21 of 2019 concerning Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine, smuggling practices remain prevalent. This study employs a normative and empirical juridical approach to examine the role of the Agricultural Quarantine Agency Class 1A Bandar Lampung in combating bird smuggling, as well as the factors hindering the enforcement of criminal law. The findings indicate that the quarantine agency carries out three main roles: normative (based on regulations), factual (preventive and repressive actions), and ideal (emphasizing prevention). Obstacles faced include a shortage of field personnel, limited equipment and funding, and low public awareness of the law. It is recommended that the quarantine agency improve community welfare and collaborate with relevant institutions to optimize public outreach and law enforcement efforts.

The digital era has brought significant changes in the way humans access, store, and share information. Amidst these technological advances, major challenges have emerged to the protection of individual privacy rights. Personal information is increasingly easy to collect and process by various parties, both by state institutions, technology companies, and individual users. On the other hand, the need for freedom of information is also increasing, especially in the context of transparency, public participation, and data openness. The balance between cybersecurity and freedom of information is a crucial issue that must be addressed comprehensively. This paper aims to examine the protection of privacy rights in the digital era by highlighting the tension between data security efforts and demands for information openness. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that privacy protection requires clear regulations, such as the Personal Data Protection Law in Indonesia, as well as public awareness in protecting personal data. On the other hand, freedom of information must still be maintained so that it is not misused to violate individual rights. Therefore, a balanced approach is needed between regulation, education, and technology to create a digital space that is safe, fair, and respects human rights.  

This study aims to examine and compare the practices of inheritance distribution in Kwaron and Grogol Villages, Diwek District, Jombang Regency, from the perspectives of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and Civil Law. This qualitative research adopts a case study approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies. The findings indicate significant differences in inheritance distribution practices between the two villages, influenced by social, cultural, and legal interpretive factors. The study also finds that legal ambiguity and limited public understanding of inheritance law often lead to conflicts. Moreover, it reveals that mediation and conflict resolution through customary and religious approaches tend to be more effective than formal legal processes. The study recommends enhancing public awareness of inheritance law and developing more integrative conflict resolution mechanisms.

Public awareness is needed to reduce the use of single-use plastics. One effort to reduce plastic waste is by replacing chemical-based materials with natural alternatives. This study aims to analyze the effect of beeswax thickness on the type of fabric used. A quantitative method was applied by measuring the thickness of each material sample with beeswax mass variations of 10 grams, 15 grams, and 20 grams. The results showed that blacu fabric with 15 grams of beeswax had a “very good” coating thickness. Blacu fabric with 10 grams of beeswax had a “good” thickness, while 20 grams resulted in a “fair” thickness. The thickness of the fabric material varied according to the beeswax mass and affected the coating uniformity of beeswax applied to the fabric surface.

Stock return refers to the level of profit gained by investors from stock ownership. The volatility of a company's stock return can be influenced by financial information such as profitability. However, over time, there has been growing pressure on companies not only to pursue financial profit but also to consider non-financial information, such as carbon emission disclosure and green accounting. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of profitability, carbon emission disclosure, and green accounting on the stock returns of energy sector companies. The research was conducted on energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 39 companies and a total of 117 observations. Data were collected using a non-participant observation method, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. During the data analysis stage, outliers were detected in the dependent variable, which affected the results of the normality and heteroskedasticity tests. To address this, the winsorizing method was employed to minimize the influence of outliers without eliminating the data. The findings indicate that profitability (measured by ROA), carbon emission disclosure, and green accounting all have a positive effect on stock returns. The implications of this study provide empirical evidence on the influence of profitability, carbon emission disclosure, and green accounting on stock returns in the energy sector on the IDX during the 2021–2023 period. Furthermore, the findings offer valuable insights for corporate management to enhance transparency on sustainability issues, provide strategic guidance for investors, and raise public awareness on the importance of supporting environmentally friendly businesses.
