The rapid growth of digital transactions through marketplace platforms has driven significant changes in the consumption patterns of Indonesian society. Behind the convenience and efficiency offered, online transactions also pose various legal risks for consumers, including product mismatches, fraudulent practices, and weak personal data protection. This situation creates an urgency to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of consumer legal protection in digital transactions. This study aims to analyze the level of effectiveness of consumer legal protection in digital transactions in Indonesian marketplaces and to identify obstacles in its implementation. The method used is normative legal research with an approach based on legislation and literature studies, particularly on the Consumer Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and Government Regulation Number 80 of 2019. The research results indicate that although a legal framework for consumer protection is normatively available, its implementation has not been optimal. This is influenced by low consumer legal literacy, weak supervision and law enforcement, unclear responsibilities between business actors and marketplace platforms, and the suboptimal personal data protection system. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen regulations that are adaptive to digital transactions, enhance the role of marketplace platforms, and develop effective online dispute resolution mechanisms to ensure protection and legal certainty for consumers.

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one of the indicators of the quality of maternal and child health services in a country. Based on data from the 2024 SDKI (Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey), the maternal mortality rate decreased compared to the previous year, from 4,482 cases in 2023 to 4,150 deaths in 2024, but this figure is still far from the 2030 SDG target. In an effort to reduce maternal mortality, the government's program is the Program for Birth Planning and Complication Prevention (BPCR or P4K in bahasa), which emphasizes community empowerment in monitoring pregnant, delivering, and postpartum mothers. In its implementation, P4K still faces obstacles, one of which is the lack of knowledge among mothers and the community regarding P4K. This also occurs in RW17, Cilendek Barat Village, where many people are still unaware of P4K. Health education interventions about the importance of P4K are one of the activities carried out to increase the knowledge of mothers and the community. Participants are pregnant women, community health workers, and neighborhood association leaders. The success of the activity is measured by assessing participants' knowledge before and after the education is conducted. After education was provided, there was an 84% improvement in participants' knowledge. This activity involved community leaders, so it is hoped that it can increase knowledge and understanding of the importance of P4K.

The phenomenon of child labor exploitation in the textile industry is a form of human rights violation that continues to occur in various countries, including in the global supply chains of multinational corporations. This practice not only involves individual perpetrators but also demonstrates the systematic involvement of corporations through production policies, cost pressures, and disregard for labor standards. The concept of corporate complicity is relevant to analyzing the extent to which corporations can be held criminally liable for human rights violations that occur in their business activities. This study aims to examine the forms of corporate involvement in child labor exploitation in the textile industry and analyze the framework for corporate criminal liability from a national and international legal perspective. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case study approach. The results show that corporations can be considered to have participated in or assisted in human rights violations if they know about, allow, or profit from the practice of child labor exploitation. Although various international legal instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights have affirmed corporate responsibility for human rights, their implementation in national law still faces obstacles, particularly regarding proving the element of guilt and imposing criminal sanctions on legal entities. Therefore, strengthening regulations, supply chain oversight mechanisms, and strict law enforcement are needed so that corporate criminal liability can be an effective instrument in preventing the exploitation of child labor and ensuring human rights protection.

A literature review on the implementation and evaluation of Convergence Action to Reduce Stunting in Indonesia was conducted as a comprehensive study to understand national patterns, challenges, and factors determining the success of the program. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of cross-sectoral interventions, identify structural barriers, and formulate strategic recommendations for strengthening stunting reduction governance. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA 2020 model, utilizing Crossref and Google Scholar sources through the Publish or Perish application. Of the articles found, only nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using a thematic approach based on the CIPP framework. The SLR results showed that in terms of context, government regulations and commitment were strong, but there were geographical disparities, poor sanitation, and low nutrition literacy that affected program outcomes. In terms of inputs, limitations in nutrition human resources, facilities, funding, and the quality of e-PPGBM data were the main obstacles. In terms of process, the implementation of the 8 Convergence Actions has been carried out but remains partial, with suboptimal integration between OPDs and monitoring that has not yet produced adequate feedback. In terms of output, service coverage has increased, but the decline in stunting rates has been inconsistent across regions. The research results emphasize the importance of strengthening human resource capacity, data integration, cross-sectoral coordination, and adapting programs based on local contexts to ensure the accelerated and sustainable reduction of stunting.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in the Indonesian economy, but still face significant obstacles in intellectual property rights protection, particularly patents and trademarks. This study aims to analyse the legal aspects of patent and trademark registration for MSMEs based on the Indonesian legal framework, with a focus on the implementation of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and related intellectual property regulations. The research method uses a normative legal approach with a literature analysis of legislation, scientific journals, and the latest statistical data. The results of the study show that the level of patent and trademark registration by MSMEs in Indonesia is still very low, with only 2.3% of MSMEs having registered their trademarks in 2023. The main obstacles include limited legal understanding, high registration costs, complex administrative procedures, and a lack of socialisation. This study recommends simplifying regulations, subsidising registration costs, improving legal education, and strengthening synergy between the government, academics, and MSME actors to improve the protection of intellectual property rights in the MSME sector in Indonesia.

The digital era continues to evolve and bring innovation and change to various industries. Through digital transformation and strategies needed to overcome obstacles in the digital era, organizations can adapt and change. To achieve their goals, MSMEs must implement efficient marketing techniques in their operations. This community service method uses the PAR (Participatory Action Research) technique. This is in line with the conditions of the partner, Dwikora Village, which has human resources that are well known to both village officials and residents. The results found that due to a lack of understanding of digital marketing communication management procedures, they were unfamiliar with digital marketing techniques, different social media platforms, or how to measure their effectiveness. The Community Service Team conveyed their understanding of the importance of digital marketing communication in improving the knowledge and skills of residents as an effort to improve their marketing communication skills. This was because many residents, especially mothers, did not understand how to use digital marketing to promote their MSMEs. The team formed a content creation team or digital marketing communication managers, socialized the value of digital marketing communication to the sub-district residents in improving their knowledge and skills, and implemented a digital marketing communication message management strategy on Instagram. After these activities, partners can create interesting and relevant content that suits the interests of the target audience in Dwikora Village, namely its residents.

The limited ability of teachers to write scientific papers remains one of the obstacles to professional development and career advancement.

This study aims to analyze the role of public affairs in realizing effective public policy communication and its contribution to increasing public understanding and participation. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of policy communication activities. The results show that public affairs strategies include policy publication, stakeholder engagement, media relations management, and the use of digital communication. However, obstacles remain, such as limited two-way communication and unequal levels of public understanding of policies. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening participatory communication, information transparency, and innovation in public affairs practices to improve the effectiveness of public policy implementation.

This study aims to analyze in-depth the process of handling special livestock cargo agency for cattle on the MV Gloucester Express ship, as well as to identify the efforts and coordination carried out with relevant agencies to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of services while the ship is in the unloading port. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through field research with participatory observation techniques during the fieldwork period at PT. Bahari Eka Nusantara, supported by library research to strengthen the theoretical foundation regarding ship agency management and special cargo regulations. The research findings show that the process of handling special livestock cargo agency at PT. Bahari Eka Nusantara is well-structured, involving the preparation of detailed supporting documents, starting from the ship's arrival report to its departure. The efficiency of the service heavily relies on tight coordination with port authorities (KSOP and Animal Quarantine) and compliance with applicable technical policies. However, technical obstacles were found, such as the unpreparedness of cargo documents from the shipper and coordination issues during docking. Improvement efforts are being made through enhanced digital communication and accelerated document validation before the ship's arrival to minimize waiting time at the port.

In this era of ongoing digitalization, the use of information technology in records management is becoming increasingly crucial to ensure work efficiency and effectiveness. This study aims to examine the implementation of a dynamic archive storage system in the General Ledger Accounting Division of PT KPN Plantation. Specifically, this study identifies the obstacles encountered and analyzes the efforts made to overcome these challenges. Using a qualitative approach, primary data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies with informants from General Ledger Accounting employees. Data analysis was carried out through a series of processes, including data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that although the stages of archive management have been carried out systematically through a combination of physical procedures and digitization using E-Archive, its implementation still faces significant obstacles. The problems identified include managerial aspects such as high transaction volumes that cause document backlogs and space limitations, technical aspects such as the instability of the E-Archive system, and limited human resources with expertise in archiving. Collectively, these obstacles reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of the system, requiring a comprehensive and integrated improvement strategy to achieve reliable and sustainable archive management

The biggest challenge faced by the community, especially vulnerable and poor groups, is the cost of managing chronic diseases. Even though there is national health insurance, non-medical costs, costs arising from self-medication, and limitations on certain benefits are still often obstacles that cause high out-of-pocket expenses for the community. The high costs of curative and rehabilitative care indicate that preventive and promotive efforts must be significantly improved, and one way to support the sustainability of these efforts is through a pre-emptive health financing scheme. Community service activities are carried out using a participatory approach so that community members are actively involved in the activities. The activities are carried out in three stages, that is preparation or needs identification, implementation and evaluation. The results of the activity show that the community's knowledge increased significantly because of the community service activity. Participants who took part in the activity also successfully designed a community-based financing scheme involving health savings, whereby each member makes agreed monthly contributions. This community service project demonstrates that community empowerment through the establishment of a pre-emptive financing scheme for chronic diseases can provide an effective, sustainable solution for improving public health.

This study aims to analyze various obstacles in Social Sciences (IPS) learning related to global issues that are increasingly influenced by technological advances, through literature study methods. Social studies has a strategic role in shaping students' understanding of social, economic, cultural, and political aspects, as well as fostering global awareness in the digital era. However, the effectiveness of social studies learning still faces a number of obstacles, especially low student interest because the material is considered boring, too theoretical, and less interesting than digital entertainment. In addition, less interactive learning methods, limited facilities, unconducive classroom environment, and lack of parental support also worsen the quality of learning. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study identifies several relevant learning strategies to overcome these constraints, including ProjectBased Learning, technology integration, and contextual approaches. These three strategies allow students to learn actively, critically, and collaboratively by relating social studies materials to global issues and real phenomena. This research provides theoretical contributions to the development of social studies learning models that are adaptive to technological developments, as well as practical benefits for teachers, schools, and policymakers in creating social studies learning that is more interesting, meaningful, and relevant to the global challenges of the 21st century.

Overall, this study concluded that the consistent combination of national and local songs is a character-building and strategic educational tool in the early absorption of national values.

Early childhood is a period of rapid growth and development in a child's life. At this stage, children begin to form the foundations of their intelligence, character, and social and emotional abilities that will influence their future lives. Therefore, early childhood education plays a very important role in providing stimulation and learning experiences that are appropriate for their stage of development. In West Sumatra Province, public awareness of the importance of early childhood education services continues to increase along with the growing number of early childhood education institutions. However, the increase in the number of institutions has not been accompanied by an improvement in service quality. Many institutions still face obstacles such as a shortage of qualified teachers, a lack of facilities and infrastructure, and low teacher welfare. This situation has an impact on the quality of services received by children and the satisfaction of parents as service recipients. The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of improving service quality as an effort to create high-quality, competitive PAUD institutions that are able to meet the expectations of the community.

This research examines the coordination efforts of the Karanganyar District Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in managing disasters, identifying obstacles, and exploring efforts to strengthen these coordination efforts. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a case study method, the study aims to investigate the mechanisms of cross-sector coordination, communication patterns, and division of labor within BPBD. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies, and analyzed using an interactive model. The findings indicate that BPBD's coordination is relatively effective, demonstrated through unified action, a multi-channel communication system, and a clear division of labor. However, challenges remain, including the complexity of cross-sectoral coordination, differences in capacity and authority, and the pressure of emergency situations. The study concludes that improving coordination requires enhancing staff discipline, developing human resource capacity, and strengthening an integrated work system. These efforts are vital for improving the overall effectiveness of disaster management at the local level, ensuring a more efficient and comprehensive response to disasters in the future.

The majority of Kebomas District's residents are connected to working hours during government office hours (Monday through Friday), which creates access obstacles in administering public services due to the high population density and busy community life. In response to these time constraints, the SOS MAS (Service On Saturday in Kebomas District) invention was introduced, which offers services on Saturdays. However, the implementation of this innovation still faces challenges in the form of a low social integration rate and a restricted range of public services that have the potential to sway public opinion. The goal of this research is to assess how the SOS MAS innovation affects community happiness in Kebomas District. A quantitative technique with an associative approach is used in this research. Through an unintentional sampling method, questionnaires were given to 86 individuals in order to gather primary data. With the aid of SPSS, the determinant coefficient and a simple linear regression test were used to analyze the data. The study's findings reveal that the SOS MAS invention has a favorable and substantial influence on community happiness. The regression coefficient of 0.969 and a significance level of 0.000 <0.05 support this. The innovation variable accounted for 59.7% of public happiness, while the remaining 40.3% was impacted by variables not included in the study model, according to the coefficient of determination (R2) test. This result supports the notion that the efficacy of service innovation outside of working hours is a major element in boosting happiness for individuals with limited time. The SOS MAS innovation has been shown to greatly improve public satisfaction. Agencies are encouraged to improve their communication and outreach efforts as well as create SOS MAS innovations that maximize the advantages of innovations that meet community needs.
