The provision of food for inmates is part of the fulfillment of fundamental human rights as regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 40 of 2017. However, in its implementation, various problems are still found that require in-depth study to reconstruct the existing system to be more effective in realizing the fulfillment of human rights. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 40 of 2017 in fulfilling human rights in correctional institutions and to formulate an ideal legal reconstruction of the provision of food for inmates to realize the fulfillment of human rights in the future. This study uses a normative legal research method with primary legal materials (legislation related to the provision of food in prisons), secondary (books, journals), and tertiary (legal dictionaries). The analysis was carried out qualitatively to examine the implementation of the policy and formulate an ideal legal reconstruction. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Permenkumham No. 40/2017 still faces various obstacles including budget constraints, inadequate infrastructure, limited competent human resources, and a less than optimal supervision system. The ideal legal reconstruction includes strengthening the legal basis, developing a sustainable funding system, improving HR competency standards, developing an integrated monitoring system, and utilizing information technology in food management to realize the fulfillment of human rights for correctional inmates.

Effective communication is a key element in modern public administration, as it serves not only as a means of conveying information but also as a strategic instrument for strengthening inter-agency coordination, increasing public participation, and building public trust in the government. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method, reviewing scientific journals, academic books, and official policy documents to analyze the role of communication in the bureaucracy, identify barriers that hinder its effectiveness, and propose relevant strengthening strategies in the digital era. The results of the study indicate that clear, consistent, and open communication acts as a catalyst in every stage of public policy from formulation, implementation, to evaluation, while simultaneously increasing the government's legitimacy in the eyes of the public. However, several obstacles remain, including the hierarchical organizational structure of the bureaucracy, a closed communication culture, limited communication competency among civil servants, and political intervention that often distorts policy messages. Furthermore, the development of digital technology provides significant opportunities through e-government, social media, and public service applications to expand the reach of communication, but at the same time presents challenges in the form of low digital literacy among civil servants and the public and the risk of spreading false information. To address these issues, recommended communication strengthening strategies include increasing the capacity of civil servants through communication skills training, developing information technology-based communication systems, establishing a more open and participatory organizational culture, and actively involving the public in every stage of public policy. Thus, this study confirms that effective communication is the main foundation of bureaucratic reform, because without inclusive, adaptive, and technology-based communication, public administration will not be able to meet the increasingly dynamic, complex, and critical demands of the public on the quality of government services.

Indonesia, a country located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, has a high level of vulnerability to earthquakes. This condition demands an increase in the capacity of civil engineering human resources to design safe and disaster-resistant buildings.

Therefore, the local culture-based mathematics e-module is proven valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students’ mathematical reasoning and learning motivation.

This research looks into the transparency and accountability in the promotion process for civil servants at the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) of Sidoarjo Regency as a component of the continual bureaucratic reform aimed at achieving clean and professional governance. Overall, the promotion process has embraced the digital-based Sidoarjo Smart ASN system and adheres to the merit principle, although obstacles persist in achieving completely transparent and accountable practices. The study centers on four key areas: transparency of public information, responsibility in decision-making, the validity of the merit system, and the efficiency of internal oversight and citizen engagement. A qualitative descriptive method utilizing a case study approach was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, direct observations, and the analysis of official documents. The results indicate that transparency continues to be administrative in character, accountability is focused vertically instead of being horizontally accountable to the public, and the merit system encounters challenges linked to bureaucratic culture and the integration of competency data. Additionally, internal oversight does not have enough community engagement in assessing promotion procedures. The research suggests improving transparency via interactive publishing, establishing accountability systems based on performance, boosting independent evaluation capabilities, and incorporating digital oversight tools with public engagement. These results are anticipated to provide a basis for creating a civil service management model at the regional government level that is more transparent, accountable, and grounded in integrity.

This qualitative literature review examines auditor adaptability in the digital age by synthesizing prior research on the interplay between professional expertise, IT literacy, and dynamic capabilities. Drawing on multidisciplinary studies in auditing, accounting information systems, and organizational theory, the review explores how digital technologies—such as data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automated audit tools—reshape auditors’ roles and competence requirements. The findings indicate that traditional audit expertise remains essential but is increasingly complemented by IT literacy, which enables auditors to effectively interpret technology-enabled evidence and reduce uncertainty in digital audit environments. Moreover, the dynamic capabilities framework explains how auditors continuously sense technological change, seize learning opportunities, and reconfigure audit practices to sustain audit quality. This review contributes to the auditing literature by conceptualizing auditor adaptability as a multidimensional and evolving capability, offering insights for audit firms, professional bodies, and educators in designing future-oriented competency development strategies.

Improving the quality of human resources in the civil service is a major challenge in realizing effective, adaptive, and professional governance.

Employee turnover in Jakarta’s star-rated hotels remains high in the post-pandemic period, ranging from 11–38% annually, which significantly affects service quality and industry competitiveness. This phenomenon is driven by a combination of job insecurity due to massive layoffs, job stress from excessive workload and long working hours, and a mismatch between young employees’ career expectations and traditional HR practices. Millennials and Gen-Z tend to prioritize self-development, meaningful work, and work–life balance, making them more mobile and open to new opportunities. This study aims to identify the dominant factors influencing turnover, explore the perceptions of HR managers and frontline staff regarding the policy–practice gap, and formulate relevant HR strategies for the post-pandemic context. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation review, analyzed using Miles, Huberman & Saldaña’s interactive model. Data validity was ensured through triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. Findings reveal a significant gap between HR policies and their implementation, weakening retention strategies. The study proposes integrated strategies including consistent employer branding, adaptive and transparent compensation, needs-based digital training, fair work flexibility, and competency-based career mapping. The main contribution lies in formulating a combinatorial HR model that provides a practical retention roadmap while enriching the hospitality HRM literature in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the influence of internal audit quality on the effectiveness of hedging policies in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2023. Using annual financial statements and annual reports, this study selected 30 companies using a purposive sampling method. The internal audit variable in this study was measured by three proxies: Internal Audit Charter, Internal Auditor Competence, and Internal Auditor Training. This study used multiple linear regression analysis as a hypothesis testing method. The results indicate that Internal Audit Charter Disclosure has a positive effect on hedging effectiveness disclosure, while Internal Auditor Competence Disclosure and Internal Auditor Training have insignificant and negative effects on hedging policy effectiveness. Based on these results, companies with robust internal audit charters and comprehensive components tend to be more proactive in disclosing hedging policies to avoid reputational or regulatory risks. Companies that disclose internal auditor competency and training through documents do not necessarily guarantee disclosure of hedging effectiveness. This indicates that documentation of internal auditor competency or training in annual reports does not necessarily reflect the overall company oversight.

The role of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) Secretariat is crucial in supporting the effective supervision function of the DPRD as a pillar of good governance. However, at the Cilegon City DPRD Secretariat, this role faces significant constraints due to a policy of assigning staff to assist in work visits that is not competency-based, which risks weakening local government accountability. This research aims to analyze the facilitation role of the Cilegon City DPRD Secretariat, identify the constraints arising from the removal of expert supervision staff, and formulate optimization strategies to strengthen the institution's role. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through in-depth interviews with key informants within the Secretariat, observation, and document analysis. The research findings indicate that (1) the Secretariat's role has been degraded to be administrative rather than substantive; (2) the main constraint stems from a staff assignment system that ignores competence, which leads to a decline in the quality of supervision reports; and (3) there is an urgent need to reform the human resource management (HRM) system. It is concluded that the optimization of the Secretariat's role can only be achieved by reforming the staff assignment policy and implementing structured competency development programs to restore professionalism and effective support for the DPRD's supervision function. Therefore, this research recommends three strategic steps: in the short term, revising the staff assignment policy to prioritize competence; in the medium term, developing and implementing clear Competency-Based HRM Guidelines; and in the long term, organizing continuous functional training programs to enhance staff capacity in professionally and effectively supporting the DPRD's supervision function.
