Agraria law is the law that regulates relations between people and land and other people. Sudikno Mertokusumo explained that the law, also known as land law, is the interest of people in other people regarding land. According to Subekti, agrarian law is the totality of legal provisions, whether civil, state administration or state administration law, which also regulates authorities that originate from certain relationships. For information, the basis of agrarian law is regulated in Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning basic regulations on agrarian principles or UUPA. In this agrarian law regulation, there are at least seven principles1. These are: the principle of control by the state, the principle of social function, the principle of customary law, the principle of nationality or nationhood, the principle of limiting land ownership for the sake of the public interest, the principle of general planning and the principle of land preservation. From various literature it is known that the history of the birth of the UUPA tells the long history of the struggle of national figures in reducing the impartiality of land law for the benefit of society at large. In the era of reform, the logical consequences between political existence and interests and legal certainty, especially regarding land issues, have become a trending topic that is interesting to discuss. The complexity of land issues in this country is increasingly increasing and complicated, and is exacerbated by friction between interests that are politically charged. Legal politics consists of a series of words politics and law. (Suderto, et., al 1983) explains that politics is used in various meanings, namely: 2 1. The word polik in Dutch, which means something related to the State 2. Means discussing state issues or those related to the State Furthermore, Sudarto emphasized that the meaning of politics is policy which is a synonym for policy. In this sense, the words economic politics, crime, legal politics and criminal law politics are found. The relationship between politics and law, according to (Mahfud et., al 1998) explains that law is a political product. Law is seen as an independent variable (variable influence) and politics as an independent variable (variable influence). With this assumption, Mahfud formulated the law as: 3 Legal policies that will be or have been implemented nationally by the government also include an understanding of how politics influences the law by looking at the configuration of forces behind the creation and enforcement of the law. Here the law is not only seen as articles that are imperative or mandatory, but must be seen as a sum system which in reality is not impossible, in fact it is not impossible which is very much determined by politics, both in the formulation of material and articles and in implementing them.

The study looks at how elections in Nigeria and other countries set the stage for political succession. They once gave dishonest people and organizations the chance to carry out crimes of rigging to harm the electorate and other competitors. Stakeholders and the electorate are marginalized by unchecked manipulation, which results in their losing the election or having their votes stolen or canceled, all without their fault. This was the case prior to the introduction of smart card readers and permanent voter cards. The use of technology in Nigerian elections made it very difficult for results to be altered, either by dishonest people or by changing figures in an arbitrary and fraudulent manner. This electronic device is very difficult to copy or compromise due to its transparent application and built-in security mechanisms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the reasons why the smart card reader was necessary, the arguments against its usage, and its effectiveness in the 2015 presidential elections, as well as the possibility of more elections in the future.

This analysis aims to draw attention to the necessity of improving military-civilian interactions in order to promote peace in Borno State. The information used in the paper was taken from literary works of literature. The results demonstrate the critical necessity for good ties between the military and people in order to establish mutually beneficial partnerships that could result in peace during this period of insurgency in Borno State, Nigeria.  The primary focus of modern civil-military relations is how civilian leadership manages the armed forces in democracies. Therefore, the elements that influenced the connection between Nigeria's military institution and civilian leadership (2012–2021) were evaluated in this study. The study made the assumption that, since the establishment of the elected civilian government in May 1999, Nigeria's civil-military relations have been significantly shaped by the nature of the interactions between the military and civilian leaderships, the function of civil society, and the external environment. Among the factors found are the knowledge of civilian leadership, the military's readiness to follow orders from civilian leadership, the legal and policy frameworks that governed these leaderships, the functions of international actors, particularly advanced democracies, and civil society. The following results were obtained by using the qualitative content analysis method for data collection and evaluation: The Nigerian military was easier to control thanks to the civilian leadership's understanding of military issues; civil society's role as an advocate for liberal, democratic civil-military relations was very limited; the military's willingness to submit to established authority determined civilian control ability and the role of the international community in terms of its expectations and assistance in the region reform of the security sector fueled the potential for civilian command of the armed forces.

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, including the dissemination of Islamic preaching. Social media and digital platforms have become the primary sources for young people to access Islamic information, whether from credible sources or unreliable ones. On one hand, digital preaching presents a great opportunity to convey Islamic teachings in a more creative and innovative way through various platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and podcasts. However, on the other hand, challenges also arise, such as the spread of inaccurate information and difficulties in distinguishing valid sources. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to understand the experiences of young people in accessing digital preaching and how they maintain their Islamic identity in the digital era. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with Muslim youth who actively engage with digital preaching, as well as literature reviews of various related studies. The findings indicate that digital preaching has a positive impact on enhancing young people’s understanding of Islam, particularly when presented in a manner that aligns with their characteristics. However, challenges remain in filtering accurate information and dealing with the broader influence of the digital world. This article discusses the effectiveness of digital preaching in shaping the Islamic identity of young people, the challenges involved, and the strategies that can be applied to make preaching more relevant and effective in guiding the younger Muslim generation. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more adaptive preaching strategies in the digital era.

This research aims to analyze how the church in the old and new testaments. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative, which aims to understand the structure so that it has a major influence on contemporary Christianity. From a conceptual perspective, the Church in the Old Testament is understood as a community of God's chosen people whose identity is attached to the ethnic unity of the Israelites and attachment to the law within the framework of the covenant. While in the New Testament, the understanding of the Church undergoes a transformation into a universal, inclusive, and spiritual community of faith, consisting of all people who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, without ethnic or legal restrictions. In terms of structure and leadership, the Old Testament features a leadership system based on heredity and institutional positions such as priests and prophets who mediate the people's relationship with God; whereas in the New Testament, leadership is no longer hereditary, but based on the gift of the Holy Spirit, with a collegial, functional and participatory service model and Christ as the Head of the Church, emphasizing the dimensions of relationships and service in the community.In terms of sacraments, religious practices in the Old Testament such as religious celebrations functioned as symbols of obedience and identity of the people's covenant with God, but in the New Testament, so the sacramental meaning is renewed through baptism and holy communion which are spiritual and Christocentric, marking new fellowship in Christ in the context of grace. This study concludes that the New Testament cannot be understood as a break with or an abolition of the traditions and practices that existed in the Old Testament. Instead, the New Testament represents a theological fulfillment and essential transformation of the entire narrative and system that had been built in the Old Testament.

The plan to offer birth control to teenagers, outlined in Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2024, has sparked different responses in the public, especially on social media sites like Twitter. This research intends to look into how people feel about this plan by using the Naïve Bayes Classifier technique. Information was gathered from Twitter by using data collection methods with the snscrape tool and the Python coding language. A total of 1,000 tweets related to the topic of the policy were gathered and went through initial processing steps like cleaning, breaking into words, changing cases, and removing common words. The Naïve Bayes Classifier technique was employed to sort the public's feelings into three groups: positive, negative, and neutral. The findings showed that half of the tweets (50%) had a negative view on the policy, while 35% had a positive outlook, and 15% were neutral. The accuracy of the method used was 78%, with a precision of 74%, a recall of 79%, and an F1-score of 76%. The findings from this research offer a summary of how the public feels about the birth control policy for teenagers, which can help the government assess and create policies that better meet the community's needs and worries. Additionally, this research highlights how well the Naïve Bayes Classifier method works for analyzing sentiments on social media, even though there are some challenges when it comes to understanding language subtleties like sarcasm.

Christian leadership is a calling given to all Christians, and it is especially relevant for youth as the next generation. Young people have great potential within themselves, both to lead themselves and others. Therefore, developing leadership in youth is crucial, and this must be done with the right strategies. The primary focus in this development is to emphasize the characteristics of a Christian leader that youth must possess, so they can grow into leaders who are not only competent but also reflect Christ-like values in their lives. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of leaders that the Christian youth must possess and the appropriate strategies for developing their leadership potential. The method used in this study is qualitative with a literature review, in order to gain a deeper understanding of Christian leadership concepts among youth. As the successors of both the church and society, youth must have leadership qualities that begin with leading themselves. This personal leadership will form a strong foundation for young people to answer God’s calling to lead others. The characteristics of a Christian leader that youth must possess include humility, integrity, love, and responsibility. Facing the complex challenges of today’s world, it is essential for youth to have a strong commitment to Christian values, so they are not easily swayed by worldly influences. The church plays a crucial role in guiding and directing youth to understand God's calling, as well as in developing leadership that aligns with Christ’s teachings. With the right development strategies and support from the church, Christian youth can become good leaders. They will be able to make a positive impact in society and reflect the nature of Christ, becoming role models in their daily lives.

In this increasingly advanced digital era, social media has become an integral part of the lives of young people, including university students. Social media is not only used for communication and entertainment but is also being utilized as a learning tool, including in a religious context. This study aims to explore the impact of social media use on the understanding of Buddhist teachings among students at the Raden Wijaya State Buddhist College (STABN). The approach used was quantitative, employing a survey method involving students who actively use social media. The main theories employed are Uses and Gratifications, which emphasizes that media users actively choose media to fulfill specific needs, and the theory of social media construction, which views reality as being shaped through digital interactions. This study found that the intensity and habit of social media use are related to the level of understanding of Buddhist teachings. Students who more frequently use social media to seek religious information tend to demonstrate a better understanding of Dhamma values. However, the type of religious content consumed does not always have a direct impact on deeper understanding. These results indicate that social media has the potential to be a positive tool for religious education if used wisely.

The knowledge of pregnant women about nutrition plays a crucial role in the utilization of food ingredients. One of the efforts to address stunting is by consuming foods that contain vitamin A, such as chicken liver. This correlational analytical study determined the correlation between pregnant women's knowledge of vitamin A and the use of chicken liver as a nutrient in stunting prevention with a retrospective approach. The population in this study consists of pregnant women in trimester I visiting the Kedungmundu Public Health Care, with a total of 70 people. The research instruments are a cognitive level questionnaire and a food frequency questionnaire. The analysis was the Spearman Rank correlation test. This study shows that pregnant women in the Kedungmundu Health Centre area did not take chicken liver as a source of nutrition for pregnant women in preventing stunting due to low cognition about vitamin A, with a p-value of 0.047 (p-value < 0.05), indicating a strong correlation between the level of knowledge about vitamin A and the administration of chicken liver as a source of nutrition for pregnant women in preventing childhood stunting, with a very strong correlation (r = 0.257). Health education and mass media encourage pregnant women to actively expand their knowledge. The researcher anticipates that a comprehensive understanding of vitamin A's benefits will spur a rise in chicken liver consumption, thereby contributing significantly to efforts to prevent stunting
