Sexual violence within the family is a serious criminal act that not only violates the law but also causes profound physical and psychological suffering for victims. The complexity of such cases increases as the perpetrators are often close family members, resulting in trauma and obstacles in law enforcement. Decision Number 2068/Pid.Sus/2020/PN.Medan serves as the basis for analyzing the extent to which legal protection can be provided to victims. The research problems addressed are: (1) what forms of legal protection are available for victims of sexual violence within the family under Indonesian positive law, and (2) how such protection is implemented in Decision Number 2068/Pid.Sus/2020/PN.Medan. The research method applied is normative juridical with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. Data sources include legislation, legal literature, and court decision analysis. The findings reveal that legal protection for victims is regulated under the Child Protection Law, the Criminal Code, and other legal instruments emphasizing preventive, repressive, and rehabilitative measures. The Medan District Court imposed a severe sentence on the perpetrator in accordance with the law; however, protection for victims remains limited to formal aspects without comprehensive psychological recovery programs. In conclusion, the protection of victims of sexual violence within the family has been clearly regulated on a normative basis, but its implementation remains weak. Greater collaboration between law enforcement authorities, child protection institutions, and professionals is necessary to ensure the holistic recovery of victims.

This study analyzes the practice of staple food price manipulation at Cik Puan Market in Pekanbaru, which is alleged to be carried out by a group of traders through stockpiling, supply coordination, and price regulation that could potentially cause market distortions. This phenomenon has led to unreasonable price increases in strategic commodities such as chili, onions, rice, cooking oil, and chicken, thereby negatively affecting consumers and regional economic stability. This research uses a normative juridical approach with descriptive qualitative analysis methods, supported by empirical data from local government reports, official news, and findings from trade department supervision. The results of the study indicate that these price manipulation practices are in violation of Articles 5, 11, and 19 of Law No. 5 of 1999 about Consumer Protection. This study emphasizes that the weak supervision of the supply chain in traditional markets, as well as the minimal coordination between agencies, causes price manipulation practices to continue repeatedly. It is necessary to strengthen law enforcement, ensure transparency in the distribution of basic necessities, and enhance the role of local governments and the KPPU in order to create stable, competitive, and fair prices for the public.

This study aims to analyze the integration of maqasid al-shariah within digital financial innovation in Islamic banking and to identify patterns in previous research through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The SLR method was employed to search, select, and synthesize relevant studies published between 2020 and 2025 using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by thematic analysis. The findings were organized into five core themes: security and wealth protection, digital literacy, regulatory and shariah compliance, adoption of digital technologies, and the orientation toward justice and social benefit. The results indicate that the integration of maqasid al-shariah in digital innovation remains partial and has not been developed into an operational framework for the design or evaluation of digital banking services. Prior studies emphasize the importance of data security and regulatory readiness but have not formulated measurable maqasid-based indicators. This synthesis highlights the need for a more applicable maqasid-driven digital framework to strengthen governance, risk mitigation, and the strategic direction of digital innovation in Islamic banking.

This study aims to analyze the legal consequences arising from changes to personal data made by data subjects on the validity of collateral that has been used as security for credit, as well as to examine the forms of legal protection that may be granted to creditors. Changes to personal data such as identity, address, and the debtor’s legal status may lead to legal uncertainty regarding the validity of credit security agreements, particularly those involving Hak Tanggungan (mortgage rights). In this research, the author employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings of this study show that changes to personal data without notification or updates to the security documents have the potential to create administrative discrepancies and legal risks for creditors during the execution of the collateral. Legal protection for creditors needs to be strengthened through the regulation of the debtor’s obligation to report any changes in personal data, updates to the security certificates, and clear provisions outlined in the credit agreement. Accordingly, legal certainty between the creditor and the debtor can be maintained in line with the implementation of Law Number 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection.

Security in e-commerce applications is a crucial factor that significantly affects user trust. Many users often feel anxious about the confidentiality of personal data, transaction security, and the potential for misuse of information. This study is a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA model, aiming to analyze in depth the influence of security on user trust in the context of e-commerce applications. Through this review, relevant previous studies on user security and trust were identified and evaluated to provide a more comprehensive understanding. The results of the analysis show that the improvement and implementation of superior security features, including strict data protection, multi-layered authentication, and transparent and robust privacy policies, have an essential role in growing and strengthening user trust. Guaranteed security not only creates a sense of convenience during the transaction process, but it is also very effective in increasing and maintaining user loyalty to the e-commerce platform in question. Improving security can be interpreted as a strategic investment for the sustainability of digital businesses.

This study aims to describe students' perceptions of the impact of international trade on national development strategies amidst economic globalization. In this context, cross-border trade plays an important role in accelerating economic growth and improving the competitiveness of domestic products. Students' understanding, as part of the generation that will drive the future economy, is crucial to assess the extent to which they perceive the relationship between international trade and national development. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques through the distribution of questionnaires to economics students. The findings show that the majority of students have a positive perception of the contribution of international trade, especially in terms of increasing exports, absorbing foreign investments, and creating job opportunities. However, a small proportion of respondents also noted the risks of dependency on global markets, which could affect domestic economic stability. Overall, these findings emphasize the importance of international trade in supporting sustainable and inclusive national development, balancing the benefits of globalization with domestic economic protection.

This research discusses the effectiveness of the implementation of diversion for children in conflict with the law in the crime of aggravated theft, with a case study at the Surabaya Children Crisis Center (SCCC). The background of the research is based on the importance of protecting children's rights in the criminal justice sistem, in accordance with Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Child Criminal Justice Sistem (UU SPPA), which prioritizes restorative justice and the principle of diversion to avoid the negative impact of formal punishment on children. This research uses empirical juridical method with descriptive analysis approach, examining primary data from interviews with legal counsel at SCCC as well as secondary data from related legal literature. The results show that diversion at SCCC has been implemented according to procedures at various stages of the legal process, from investigation, investigation, to trial. However, the implementation still faces obstacles such as the lack of understanding of law enforcement officials, limited human resources at legal aid institutions, and challenges in mediation between offenders and victims. In conclusion, although the implementation of diversion in SCCC is quite effective in protecting children's rights and preventing social stigma, the implementation of diversion in SCCC is not yet effective.

The Port Clearance Certificate (PCC / SPB) is a mandatory state document issued by the Harbor Master (Syahbandar) as proof of the ship's seaworthiness and the fulfillment of all administrative obligations before leaving the port. In the clearance process for foreign-flagged vessels, the role of the shipping agent is crucial as the representative of the ship owner to coordinate all required permits and documents with various related government agencies (Harbor Master's Office/KSOP, Customs, Quarantine, and Immigration). PT. Dalian Putra Maritim Belawan Branch utilizes an integrated digital system (Inapornet) to manage ship agency services for both incoming and outgoing vessels. This study aims to comprehensively analyze and describe the role and effectiveness of the ship agent, PT. Dalian Putra Maritim Belawan Branch, in expediting the process of issuing the Port Clearance for foreign ships at the Harbor Master and Port Authority Office (KSOP) in Belawan. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive method supported by: 1) Library Research to collect theoretical data and regulations; and 2) Field Research, which involves direct observation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the collection of accurate data within the Belawan Port environment. The research results indicate that the ship agent plays a central and vital role in the entire Port Clearance issuance process. The success of issuing the Port Clearance is heavily dependent on the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of the coordination carried out by the agent, ensuring that the vessel meets all safety, security, and maritime environmental protection requirements before being permitted to sail.

This study aims to analyse risk management in hospital medical records information systems using the ISO 31000:2018 framework. Electronic medical records play a critical role in storing and managing sensitive patient data, requiring a structured risk management approach to identify, evaluate, and control potential threats. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, using observation and interviews with information technology staff and medical records managers. The results revealed 11 key risks, divided into three categories: high, medium, and low. High risks were primarily related to the lack of system protection against cyber threats. This study concluded that implementing ISO 31000:2018 can help hospitals develop more effective risk mitigation strategies, thereby supporting the security, integrity, and availability of patient data.

Research on digital payment systems has grown rapidly over the past decades; however, comprehensive and in‑depth studies that synthesize existing empirical findings remain limited. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis on digital payment research based on empirical publications indexed in Scopus. Using the keyword “Digital Payment” in the article title, abstract, and keywords, a total of 485 documents published between 1989 and 2025 were identified. The evaluation was conducted on November 30, 2025, and the collected data were analyzed using bibliometric techniques with VOSviewer software. The findings reveal a significant surge in digital payment research beginning in 2016, with its peak occurring during 2023–2025, in line with the accelerating digital economic transformation worldwide. Knowledge production has shifted toward emerging economies—particularly India, Indonesia, and Malaysia—supported by dense inter‑institutional and inter‑author collaboration networks. Research themes have expanded beyond technical payment system aspects to interdisciplinary issues involving technology, finance, financial inclusion, human behavior, public policy, and the application of machine learning for security and system optimization. Journal sources, affiliations, authors, and keyword analyses confirm that digital payments have become essential infrastructure for the modern economy and a rich empirical domain for advanced studies on financial stability, consumer protection, regulation, and digital financial innovation.

Sexual violence remains a pervasive human rights violation globally, with nearly one in three women experiencing physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime (UN Women, 2024). In Indonesia, the National Commmision on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan) reported 330,097 cases in 2024, of which 26,9% were sexual violence. Despite Law No. 12 of 2022 on the Crime of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS), gaps persist between legal enforcement and public awareness, emphasizing the need for effective advocacy. This study investigates the rol of digital media in human rights advocacy by analyzing KemenPPPA’s Instagram Reels campaign titled “Three Years Since the Enactment of the Sexual Violence Law.” Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through digital observation and documentation of the video, captions, and public comments. Framing Analysis (Entman, 1993) identified problem definitations, moral evaluations, and proposed solutions, while Normative Content Discourse Interpretation (NCDI) interpreted content based on national law and international human rights standards, particularly CEDAW. Findings show that the campaign communicates key human rights values, including victim protection, gender equality, and justice. The study highlights the potential of digital media as both an educational tool and platform for social participation, stressing participatory legal communication to complement formal law enforcement and advance women’s rights in Indonesia.

Losing citizenship has significant legal consequences, particularly concerning land ownership rights. According to the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960, land ownership is only permitted for Indonesian citizens. Therefore, individuals who lose their citizenship status automatically forfeit their right to own land. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of losing citizenship on land ownership rights and the resolution mechanisms outlined in the UUPA. The research employs a normative legal approach using secondary data sources such as laws and regulations, legal literature, and court decisions. The findings indicate that individuals who lose their citizenship are required to relinquish or transfer their land ownership within one year. If this is not done, the ownership rights will be nullified by law, and the land will revert to the state. This reflects the protection of the principles of nationality and national sovereignty in land control. Therefore, resolving land ownership issues for individuals who lose their citizenship is crucial to balancing individual rights and state interests.

The main objective of this study is to examine whether agreements reached in electronic transactions through online shopping platforms comply with the fundamental principles of contract law. The principles tested include the principle of freedom of contract, the principle of consensualism, the principle of pacta sunt servanda, and the principle of good faith. In addition, this study also aims to understand the legal protection framework for consumers in the context of digital transactions. The methodology applied in this study is normative law, using an approach that focuses on legislation and a conceptual approach. The legal material used consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The collection of legal material was carried out through a literature study, which was then analyzed using deductive logic.Based on the results of the research and data analysis, it was concluded that agreements formed in electronic transactions through online shopping sites have fulfilled the principles of freedom of contract, consensualism, pacta sunt servanda, and good faith. Legal protection for consumers in e-commerce transactions has been adequately provided through the regulation of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection.

This study discusses consumer protection in the circulation of illegal cosmetic products through electronic commerce systems, focusing on the implementation of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. The main problems of the research include legal regulations related to illegal cosmetics, legal provisions regarding electronic commerce, and consumer protection mechanisms against the circulation of illegal cosmetics on e-commerce platforms. This study uses a qualitative method with a normative legal research approach through literature studies, which involves primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources. The results of the study show that cosmetic distribution permits are regulated in the Regulation of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency Number 12 of 2023 concerning the Supervision of the Manufacture and Circulation of Cosmetics. In electronic commerce, transactions occur electronically between sellers and buyers by involving a third party as the platform provider. Dispute resolution between consumers and business actors is regulated in the Consumer Protection Law through two channels, namely litigation and out-of-court dispute resolution. The research concluded that every cosmetic in circulation must have a distribution permit in the form of a BPOM Notification, and business actors are responsible for providing compensation in the form of refunds or product replacements. The research recommendations emphasize the importance of consumer prudence, honesty of business actors, and the government's firmness in handling consumer problems.

This study examines the legal protection provided to holders of Building Use Rights (HGB) on land under Management Rights (HPL) as interpreted in Supreme Court Decision No. 2160 K/Pdt/2017. The research aims to understand how civil law is applied to ensure legal certainty for HGB holders on HPL land and to strengthen insight into civil law principles used in resolving land-rights disputes. In the juridical context, land refers to the earth’s surface, while land rights are defined as authority over a specific, limited portion of that surface. Legal certainty, based on written regulations implementing the Basic Agrarian Law No. 5 of 1960, provides clarity regarding the rights and obligations of parties who own or control land. The study was conducted at the Sragen Police Resort using documentation methods—reviewing legal texts, literature, and supporting materials—along with field data obtained through interviews with relevant officers and individuals familiar with the case. The findings show that the Judex Facti of the West Java High Court made an error by declaring that no new issues required examination without giving adequate legal reasoning. The court also failed to address the objections submitted by the appellant, violating Article 50 paragraph (1) of Law No. 48 of 2009 on Judicial Power. Consequently, the Supreme Court annulled the previous decision, clarifying the legal consequences and strengthening the interpretation of HGB status on HPL land.

The rapid growth of online commerce in Indonesia has significantly transformed the way people fulfill their daily needs by providing easier, faster, and more flexible access to goods and services through digital technology. Despite these advantages, the development of e-commerce also presents serious challenges, including rising cases of online fraud, discrepancies between advertised and delivered products, failed transactions, and personal data breaches that threaten consumer privacy. These issues create imbalances in digital contractual relationships, undermining trust and legal certainty for buyers. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of fairness for consumers in e-commerce practices in Indonesia, while also identifying regulatory weaknesses and existing dispute resolution mechanisms. Using a normative legal research approach supported by case studies, the study examines the effectiveness of relevant legal frameworks, particularly the Consumer Protection Law (UUPK) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). The findings reveal that although these regulations provide a legal basis for consumer protection, their implementation remains inadequate. Weak supervision of online business actors, limited accountability of platform providers in ensuring transaction security, and complex, costly compensation procedures continue to hinder consumer rights protection. These conditions highlight the urgent need to strengthen consumer protection systems that are more adaptive, efficient, and oriented toward public interest. The study emphasizes the importance of improving online dispute resolution mechanisms, enhancing transparency and responsibility of digital platforms, and expanding digital literacy among consumers. Such measures are essential to ensure that fairness in e-commerce is not only guaranteed normatively, but also effectively realized in everyday digital transactions.

This study aims to analyze how digitalization of governance, particularly through the implementation of e-financial reporting, digital audit trails, and cloud-based data security and reliability systems, contributes to increased transparency, accountability, and data protection in educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, this study reveals that digitalization can create a more objective, standardized, and difficult-to-manipulate control mechanism. The e-financial reporting system strengthens transparency through open processes and reduces opportunities for irregularities. Digital audit trails provide authentic evidence that facilitates the process of verification, monitoring, and tracking every administrative activity in real time. Meanwhile, data security supported by layered encryption, automatic backups, and emergency recovery access increases internal and external trust in the integrity of information systems. These findings indicate that digitalization not only provides technical tools but also forms a more disciplined, adaptive, and public accountability-oriented governance structure. This study broadens understanding of the relationship between digital technology and organizational culture and provides a theoretical foundation for developing a more reliable and sustainable information system-based educational governance model.  

This study investigates the impact of equity crowdfunding on significant infrastructure projects in Indonesia, with a focus on those that fall under the regulatory framework outlined in POJK No. 37/POJK.04/2018. It addresses the following research question: How does equity crowdfunding contribute to Indonesia's infrastructure financing? Its narrow focus on the use of crowdfunding for infrastructure fills a gap in the literature, which often lacks empirical research unique to Indonesia. Using a mixed-method approach that combines qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews with quantitative analysis of crowdfunding data, the study finds that although equity crowdfunding has the potential to mobilize capital for infrastructure, obstacles include investor protection, regulatory compliance, and project scalability. The study emphasizes the crucial role of regulatory frameworks and specially designed financial products in determining the outcomes of crowdfunding. In the end, the study recommends changing policy to create an atmosphere that is favorable to crowdfunding, improving financial, and aiding Indonesia's sustainable development goals.

Seagrass beds are coastal ecosystems that have important ecological functions as a provider of habitat, food sources, protection, and reproductive areas for various marine life including Echinoderms. This study aims to analyze the diversity of Echinoderms and their relationship with seagrass distribution in Kiama Beach, Melonguane District, Talaud Islands Regency. The research was conducted in the intertidal zone at three stations using the exploration method with purposive sampling technique. Each station is divided into three plot installation zones measuring 4 × 4 meters, with observations made at low tide. Environmental parameters (temperature and pH), type and number of Echinoderm individuals, and seagrass species were recorded and analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index and product moment correlations. The results showed that the Echinoderma community consists of two classes and five species: Archaster typicus, Linckia laevigata, Culcita novagueniae, Holothuroidea scabra, and Holothuroidea forskali, with the Asteroidea class dominating (75%). The diversity index (H') value was relatively low at all stations with a range of 0.6261–0.6631. Seagrass beds consist of five species, namely Halophila ovalis, Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassia hemprichii, Halodule uninervis, and Syringodium isoetifolium, with the highest abundance found in Halophila ovalis. Correlation results showed a strong to very strong relationship between the abundance of Echinoderms and certain seagrass types (r = 0.77–0.99) as well as a strong correlation at the overall level of the station (r = 0.74). This study confirms that the presence and abundance of Echinoderms is greatly influenced by the density and composition of seagrass species. These findings provide important baseline data for the management and conservation of seagrass beds as a support for the sustainability of coastal biodiversity.  

This study aims to investigate the integration of information systems and the associated security challenges within Afghanistan's current market, emphasizing the complex relationship between technological innovation, governance stability, and institutional readiness. Using the Delphi method, the study engaged experts from academia, government, and the private sector to identify key barriers and enablers shaping Afghanistan's digital transformation. Findings reveal that the country's progress in adopting information systems is hindered by fragmented policies, weak cybersecurity awareness, infrastructure limitations, and dependency on donor-funded projects. Despite growing recognition of the importance of digitalization, Afghanistan's institutional fragility continues to impede coordinated implementation and sustainable innovation. Comparative insights with other emerging markets highlight that long-term investment in digital literacy, regulatory coherence, and private sector engagement are critical to overcoming these barriers. The study highlights the importance of adopting a hybrid developmental model that harmonizes local institutional realities with internationally recognized technological standards, fostering adaptability and resilience within Afghanistan's volatile environment. It advances existing understanding by demonstrating how governance reform, human capital enhancement, and cybersecurity integration function as mutually reinforcing components of the nation's digital transformation. Sustainable progress depends on establishing a unified national vision that bridges technology, education, and governance, thereby reinforcing market integrity and institutional stability amid persistent security and economic uncertainty.
