The rapid development of digital technology has significantly increased public access to online activities, including online gambling, which has emerged as a serious social problem in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the impact of online gambling on the mental health and social behavior of young people. This research employed a descriptive method with a survey approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to young respondents who had experience or exposure to online gambling activities. The findings indicate that involvement in online gambling has a significant impact on mental health disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. In addition, online gambling contributes to a decline in social interaction quality, increased family conflict, social withdrawal, and reduced productivity. Behavioral changes such as impulsivity and decreased self-control were also identified among respondents. These results demonstrate that online gambling not only affects individuals psychologically but also disrupts social relationships and family harmony. Therefore, comprehensive preventive efforts are needed through digital literacy enhancement, family involvement, and psychological support services to protect young people from the negative consequences of online gambling.

The development of online platforms has transformed consumer purchasing behavior, including in the culinary MSME sector. Product availability across multiple online platforms has become an important factor influencing consumers’ purchasing decisions. This study aims to analyze the effect of the availability of culinary MSME products on various online platforms on consumer purchasing decisions. This research employs a quantitative approach using an explanatory research method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to consumers who had purchased culinary MSME products via more than one online platform. Data analysis techniques included validity testing, reliability testing, simple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing (t-test). The results indicate that the availability of culinary MSME products on various online platforms has a positive and significant effect on consumer purchasing decisions. These findings suggest that the easier culinary MSME products are to find, access, and consistently available across multiple online platforms, the higher the likelihood of consumers making purchasing decisions. This study is expected to contribute theoretically to digital marketing literature and provide practical insights for culinary MSMEs in developing effective multi-platform marketing strategies.

This research aims to evaluate the SQUAD Dewan (Suara Kita Untuk Demokrasi/Our Voice for Democracy) program implemented by the Secretariat of East Java Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD). The SQUAD Dewan program is an innovative initiative designed to enhance public participation in the legislative process and strengthen democratic practices at the provincial level. Using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model developed by Stufflebeam, this study examines the program's effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability. This qualitative research employs a descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and documentation at the Secretariat of the DPRD of East Java Province. Informants include program managers, legislative council members, public participants, and community representatives. The results indicate that the SQUAD Dewan program has successfully increased public engagement in legislative activities, with a 45% increase in public hearing participation and 60% growth in policy input submissions from 2022 to 2023. The program has effectively utilized digital platforms for broader outreach, reaching over 150,000 citizens through online forums and social media campaigns. However, challenges remain in terms of geographic coverage inequality, limited participation from rural communities, and the need for more sustainable funding mechanisms. This study recommends strengthening digital infrastructure in rural areas, developing capacity-building programs for community facilitators, establishing permanent funding allocations, and creating feedback mechanisms to enhance program responsiveness to public needs.

The policy to implement the deep learning approach in Indonesian schools starting from the 2025/2026 academic year requires teachers to be well prepared to design and conduct meaningful and in-depth learning.

The training materials covered the concept and implementation of deep learning, lesson planning, instructional design and models, learning evaluation, development of innovative technology-based learning media, and reinforcement of microeconomic and macroeconomic content. A total of 78 economics teachers participating in the MGMP of Tasikmalaya City were involved in the program. The results indicate that the training improved teachers’ understanding of deep learning, lesson planning, and assessment strategies that support meaningful learning. Participants’ reflections revealed high motivation and strong relevance of the training materials to their professional duties. This program contributes to strengthening teachers’ readiness to implement deep learning sustainably and supports the improvement of economics learning quality in schools.

The era of globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology have transformed the landscape of dakwah (Islamic propagation), shifting from conventional pulpits to virtual communication platforms (social media, podcasts, streaming). This transition, in line with the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, enables Islamic messages to reach a broad audience without geographical boundaries. Digital dakwah is highly relevant and urgent to research given the dominant use of social media by Muslim Youth, a group that seeks attention but also possesses a tendency toward critical thinking. This research has a dual aim: (1) to analyze the Interpretation of Muslim Youth towards virtual dakwah studies, and (2) to analyze the Effectiveness of Implementing Dakwah Studies through social media platforms. The accessibility of fragmented and competitive content makes the interpretation process active and crucial, where youth are no longer passive recipients but choose sources based on algorithms and their own interests. This study uses the Constructivism Paradigm to understand a dynamic and complex social reality, employing a Descriptive Qualitative Approach and the Online Ethnography Method. Data is collected through Observation, Interviews, and Documentation, with Data Triangulation (source, technique, and time) to ensure the validity of the findings. Social media holds great potential as an effective and inclusive dakwah tool. However, the effectiveness of its expansion must be balanced with the quality of the content and the capacity of Muslim Youth to perform critical, contextual, and responsible interpretation.

Instagram has become a strategic medium for government institutions in delivering public information, particularly weather and disaster-related information that requires speed, clarity, and ease of understanding. The BMKG of Gowa Regency utilizes digital communication innovations through the use of informative memes and a virtual character named Shinna as a visual communication strategy to enhance the effectiveness of information dissemination to the public. This study aims to analyze the influence of meme usage and the virtual character Shinna on the information satisfaction of Instagram users of BMKG Gowa Regency by employing the Stimulus–Response (S–R) theory perspective, which views visual messages as stimuli capable of eliciting cognitive and affective responses from audiences. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through an online questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale administered to followers of the BMKG Gowa Regency Instagram account who had viewed or interacted with meme content and the virtual character Shinna. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The results indicate that the use of memes and the virtual character Shinna has a positive and significant effect on users’ information satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. Meme usage shows a more dominant influence compared to the virtual character Shinna, while the coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.834 indicates that both variables explain 83.4% of the variance in users’ information satisfaction. These findings confirm that public communication strategies based on memes and virtual characters are effective in enhancing audience understanding, comfort, and satisfaction with disaster-related information.

The Fast Beauty phenomenon presents social pressure from marketing strategies that create a feeling of worry about being left behind, thus encouraging generation Z consumers to purchase beauty products in the Fast Beauty brand category. This study aims to examine the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and purchase decisions among generation Z as consumers of Fast Beauty products. The method used in this study was a quantitative correlational method with 200 participants aged 18 to 30 years, of which 7 male (3.5%) and 193 female (96.5%). Data collection was conducted through an online questionnaire compiled using the Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) and a Purchase Decision scale using a Likert scale of 1 to 4. The analysis results show a significant positive relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and purchase decisions (r = 0.620, p < 0.05), where the higher the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), the higher the tendency of Generation Z consumers to make Fast Beauty product purchases. These analysis results align with previous research showing that consumers experiencing Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) tend to make product purchases without careful consideration due to concerns about being left behind in their social environment. The implications of this research show the importance of implementing marketing strategies that pay more attention to the psychological side of consumers and the implementation of more conscious consumer behavior before purchasing Fast Beauty products.

The rapid development of information technology has significantly increased the practice of online buying and selling as part of electronic commerce (e-commerce). One of the payment methods widely used in online transactions is cash on delivery (COD), in which payment is made by the consumer at the time the goods are received. Although the COD system provides convenience and a sense of security for consumers, in practice it often gives rise to legal problems, particularly unilateral cancellations by consumers. Such cancellations are frequently carried out after the goods have been shipped or have arrived at the destination address, resulting in material and non-material losses for business actors. This condition indicates an imbalance in legal protection between consumers and business actors in online transactions using the COD system. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of implementing the COD payment system in online buying and selling transactions and to examine the forms of legal protection available for business actors affected by unilateral cancellations by consumers. This research employs an empirical juridical method, also known as sociological legal research, with a field research approach to examine the application of law in practice, particularly in Jambi City. Data were collected through literature review and interviews and analyzed qualitatively. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of legal regulation and to strengthen legal certainty and protection for business actors in online transactions.  

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.

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.

This community service activity was carried out to enhance the managerial capacity and digital competence of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sunggu Manai Village, Patalassang District, Gowa Regency. In the digital economy era, MSME actors must adapt to technological changes and manage their businesses professionally to remain competitive. The activity employed a participatory and applicative approach involving training in business management, digital marketing, and application-based financial recording. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge and skills, particularly in business planning, financial management, and the use of social media and online marketplaces for product promotion. About 80% of participants successfully created digital business accounts and started marketing their products online. The program also fostered awareness of the importance of digital transformation and collaboration among MSME actors. Therefore, integrating managerial capacity building with business digitalization proved effective in enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs in rural areas.

The development of digital technology and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 have driven significant changes in marketing activities, including for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The use of e-commerce has become an important digital marketing strategy for MSMEs to increase competitiveness and business revenue. This study aims to examine the role of e-commerce implementation as a digital marketing tool for MSMEs in facing the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and analyze its impact on increasing MSME revenue and competitive advantage. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through literature studies of various literature sources such as books, scientific journals, and online publications relevant to the research topic. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of e-commerce has a positive impact on MSMEs, including expanding market reach, increasing marketing efficiency, and driving increased business revenue. In addition, e-commerce also plays a role in increasing MSME competitive advantage through product innovation, improving service quality, and strengthening relationships with consumers. However, the implementation of e-commerce in MSMEs still faces several challenges, such as low digital literacy, limited human resources, and minimal technical assistance. Therefore, ongoing support from various parties is needed so that the use of e-commerce by MSMEs can run optimally and sustainably in the digital era.

Adolescents are a vulnerable group to digital sexual violence, including sextortion, which involves sexual extortion through threats to distribute sexually explicit content. Low levels of self-control may increase adolescents’ vulnerability to such risks. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of psychoeducation in enhancing self-control understanding as a preventive effort against sextortion among adolescents. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed. The participants consisted of 36 students aged 15–17 years from a public senior high school in Samarinda. The psychoeducational intervention was delivered through interactive lectures, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and educational video screenings. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results of the analysis showed a statistically significant difference (Z = −2.201; p = 0.028 (p < 0.05)). This indicates that there was a difference in adolescents’ self-control before and after the psychoeducation intervention. The post-test mean score (M = 8.39) was higher than the pre-test mean score (M = 8.00). These findings suggest that psychoeducation was effective in improving adolescents’ understanding of self-control as a preventive effort against sextortion. Self-control psychoeducation can therefore be considered a relevant preventive approach to be implemented in school settings.

Online transportation services have become an important part of student life because they provide ease of access, time efficiency, and mobility flexibility. The Gojek application is one of the most frequently used services by students in Medan City to support academic and non-academic activities. This study aims to analyze students' experience in using the Gojek application and its effect on the effectiveness of the application in online transportation services. The research method used was a quantitative approach with survey techniques through a Likert scale questionnaire (1–5) to 50 students who were active users of Gojek. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results showed that user experience (UX) was in the category of quite good with an average value of 3.58, while the effectiveness of the application was in the category of quite good with an average of 3.47. The reliability test showed Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.935 (UX) and 0.951 (Effectiveness), which means the instrument is very reliable. The results of the regression analysis showed that user experience had a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of the application (β = 0.961; R² = 0.881; p < 0.001). Thus, the better the student experience in using the Gojek application, the higher the effectiveness felt in online transportation services. These findings confirm that improving the quality of user experience is a key factor to maintain and increase the effectiveness of online transportation applications among students.

This study critically examines the emerging phenomenon of celebrity preachers as a significant form of religious commodification within the realm of digital da’wah. The rapid proliferation of social media has fundamentally transformed how religious messages are disseminated, with platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok becoming primary channels. Utilizing a quantitative methodology that combines comprehensive literature studies with online questionnaires distributed to social media users, this research investigates public perceptions regarding digital da’wah practices and high-profile preachers. The findings reveal a commodification process characterized by three key aspects: the tailoring of content to suit market preferences, the shift of audiences into active consumers, and the strategic construction of public images by preachers to sustain popularity. While respondents value the accessibility of digital da’wah, they strongly emphasize the necessity of ethical boundaries to preserve its spiritual essence. Consequently, digital da’wah requires sincerity, scholarly integrity, and moral responsibility to remain an authentic medium for Islamic teachings.

The creative economy industry serves as a strategic pillar of the national economy, experiencing significant transformation in the digital era. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the pattern of human resource (HR) competency gaps within priority subsectors of Indonesia's creative economy and formulate effective, multi-stakeholder development strategies. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, this research rigorously analyzes 30 scientific journal articles, government reports, and publications from global institutions published between 2014 and 2024. The findings delineate three primary clusters of competency gaps: (1) The Digital-Technical Competency Gap, encompassing deficiencies in data analytics, specialized software mastery, and digital content creation tools; (2) The Digital-Business Competency Gap, which includes shortcomings in digital financial literacy, online business model development, and management of digital intellectual property rights; and (3) The Social-Cognitive Competency Gap, highlighting needs in adaptability, complex problem-solving, and effective virtual collaboration. In response, this paper proposes an integrative strategic framework grounded in a collaborative multi-stakeholder approach. Key recommendations include revitalizing educational curricula through industry-embedded learning and micro-credential integration, developing agile and accessible training ecosystems featuring bootcamps and digital platforms, and fostering supportive policies through fiscal incentives and the alignment of national qualification frameworks with digital skill standards. The successful implementation of this synergistic strategy is expected to significantly enhance the adaptability, innovation capacity, and global competitiveness of Indonesia's creative workforce, thereby ensuring the sustainable growth of the creative economy sector in the face of rapid digital disruption.

This study aims to examine and compare various findings from previous research on the effectiveness of online learning among university students in higher education settings in order to obtain a comprehensive general conclusion. The research method employed is a literature review using a content analysis approach of scholarly publications published between 2019 and 2025. The data sources include relevant national and international journal articles focusing on online learning in higher education. The results of the review indicate that the effectiveness of online learning is influenced by three interrelated main factors. Psychological factors include learning motivation, students’ perceptions of online learning, and the emotional conditions experienced during the learning process. Pedagogical factors encompass lecturers’ creativity in designing learning activities, the selection of appropriate teaching methods, and the use of interactive and varied learning media. Meanwhile, technical or environmental factors include the availability and ease of access to learning platforms, the quality of internet connectivity, and supportive learning environments. Online learning offers several positive impacts, such as flexibility in learning time, cost efficiency, and enhanced student experience in utilizing digital technology. However, it also has the potential to generate negative effects, including boredom, stress, and difficulties in understanding course material when technical barriers are not resolved and learning activities are monotonous. Therefore, optimal management of psychological, pedagogical, and technical factors is essential to improve the effectiveness of online learning for university students.

This community service program aims to enhance the understanding and awareness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) regarding the importance of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) certification as a form of legal protection and a means to improve business competitiveness. The activity was conducted in RW 04, Pondok Rajeg Village, Cibinong District, Bogor Regency, targeting local MSME actors. The program employed a Community Based Research (CBR) approach, emphasizing active community participation through problem analysis, target assessment, program development, and implementation stages. The main activity consisted of counseling sessions covering the concept of IPR, types of IPR, benefits of ownership, and online registration procedures through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). Evaluation was carried out using pre- and post-activity questionnaires. The results indicate that although all participants recognized the importance of IPR protection, their initial level of understanding was relatively low. Following the counseling session, there was a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge of IPR types and registration procedures. This program is expected to encourage MSMEs to register their intellectual property to protect innovation and enhance sustainable business competitiveness.

Contemporary digital advancements have significantly impacted the manner in which individuals engage in economic activities, as evidenced by the rising volume of online transactions. While offering convenience and efficiency, electronic transactions also provide numerous legal challenges, especially regarding seller defaults, including delayed delivery, goods that do not conform to the agreement, or sellers failing to meet their duties post-payment by consumers. This scenario may result in consumer losses, necessitating sufficient legal certainty and protection. This study seeks to analyze the legal regulations pertaining to contracts and defaults in digital platform transactions and to evaluate the types of legal liabilities that may be placed on sellers. This study employs normative legal research, focusing on legislative and conceptual approaches, and utilizes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials as data references. The study's findings reveal that seller liability regulations in electronic transactions are defined in the Civil Code, the Consumer Protection Law, and the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions. Nonetheless, its execution has several challenges, especially concerning evidence and the efficacy of law enforcement measures. Consequently, it is imperative to enhance the function of marketplaces and establish more adaptive legislative frameworks to guarantee consumer protection and restitution for losses in online commerce.
