The ambiguity of the concept of state economic loss in Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of the Corruption Crime Law (Tipikor Law) has yet to be defined normatively or by an official institution with the authority to do so. This uncertainty has given rise to legal problems in law enforcement, especially after Constitutional Court Decision No. 25/PUU-XIV/2016, which changed the qualification of corruption offenses to material offenses, so that the proof of economic loss to the state must be actual loss. However, in practice, as in the Surya Darmadi corruption case, law enforcement officials still face difficulties in determining the measure and method of proving economic loss to the state in a lawful manner. The issues in this study are the basis for the judge's consideration of the element of economic loss to the state in the Central Jakarta District Court Decision No. 62/Pid.Sus-TPK/2022/PN.Jkt.Pst and the obstacles and constraints in proving the element of economic loss to the state in criminal acts of corruption.This study uses a normative legal method with a statute approach, a case approach, and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that the first-level panel of judges assessed that environmental damage and the loss of potential state revenue due to the illegal conversion of forest areas were part of the actual economic loss to the state, while the Supreme Court emphasized the importance of limiting this element to actual loss in accordance with Constitutional Court Decision No. 25/PUU-XIV/2016. The obstacles and constraints in proving the element of state economic loss in corruption crimes stem from internal and external factors that are interrelated and affect the effectiveness of law enforcement.

The rapid growth of open-source software (OSS) in machine learning (ML) has intensified the need for reliable, automated methods to assess project quality, particularly as OSS increasingly underpins critical applications in science, industry, and public infrastructure. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a diverse set of machine learning and deep learning (ML/DL) algorithms for classifying GitHub OSS ML projects as engineered or non-engineered using a SMOTE-enhanced and explainable modeling pipeline. The dataset used in this research includes both numerical and categorical attributes representing documentation, testing, architecture, community engagement, popularity, and repository activity. After handling missing values, standardizing numerical features, encoding categorical variables, and addressing the inherent class imbalance using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), seven different classifiers—K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and a Deep Neural Network (DNN)—were trained and evaluated. Results show that LR (84%) and DNN (85%) outperform all other models, indicating that both linear and moderately deep non-linear architectures can effectively capture key quality indicators in OSS ML projects. Additional explainability analysis using SHAP reveals consistent feature importance across models, with documentation quality, unit testing practices, architectural clarity, and repository dynamics emerging as the strongest predictors. These findings demonstrate that automated, explainable ML/DL-based quality assessment is both feasible and effective, offering a practical pathway for improving OSS sustainability, guiding contributor decisions, and enhancing trust in ML-based systems that depend on open-source components.

Constitutionalism plays a fundamental role in limiting state power and ensuring that government authority operates within ethical, legal, and democratic boundaries. Indonesia and Thailand offer two contrasting examples of constitutional development in Southeast Asia. Following the 1998 Reform era, Indonesia successfully strengthened mechanisms of checks and balances through the establishment of the Constitutional Court, decentralization reforms, and the empowerment of independent oversight bodies. In contrast, Thailand has experienced repeated cycles of military intervention, where post-coup constitutions have served not as tools to restrict state power, but rather as instruments legitimizing centralized authority and military dominance.This article synthesizes existing scholarly literature and identifies critical research gaps related to constitutionalism studies in both countries. First, there remains a scarcity of long-term empirical and quantitative studies assessing the effectiveness of constitutional limitations on executive, legislative, and judicial power. Second, current research has insufficiently examined informal political practices, including patronage networks, oligarchic influence, and military entrenchment within state institutions. Third, comparative constitutional studies covering the 2014–2025 period remain limited, particularly in assessing post-authoritarian and post-coup constitutional dynamics.The findings of this review highlight the need for deeper interdisciplinary research, integrating political science, legal studies, and institutional analysis to better understand the evolving nature of constitutionalism in Southeast Asia.

This study explores the ethics of teachers in a global context by comparing the professionalism of educators in Finland and madrasah teachers in Indonesia. The research aims to identify key ethical principles and practices that define teacher professionalism in these distinct educational settings. Employing qualitative methods including literature review and interviews with educators from both countries, the study highlights similarities and differences in ethical standards, pedagogical approaches, and cultural influences. Findings reveal that while Finnish teachers emphasize autonomy, democratic values, and continuous professional development, Indonesian madrasah teachers integrate religious ethics alongside pedagogical professionalism. The study discusses implications for improving teacher training and ethical guidelines to enhance educational quality and foster intercultural understanding. This comparative analysis contributes to the global discourse on teacher ethics by providing insights into how cultural and institutional contexts shape professional values and responsibilities in education.

The form of historicization in literary criminology views criminality as the result of power relations, unequal social structures, and history. Criminal acts in historicization are always placed in a specific time and place context, tracing how a behavior is considered “criminal” or “against the law” depending on the historical construction formed by the legal system, the state, and the rulers. Historicization also reveals that what is referred to as crime is not absolute, but can change according to historical developments and power struggles. The purpose of this study is to describe the form of criminalization in the novel Lampuki, which is not merely an individual deviant act, but a reflection of historical trauma and a flawed social structure. The approach used is literary sociology. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method with reading and note-taking techniques obtained from the novel Lampuki by Arafat Nur in the form of sentences and paragraphs. The results of the study show that there are seven data points that fall under the form of criminalization of history. From the seven data points, three findings were generalized and discovered in Arafat Nur novel Lampuki, namely: (1) transgenerational trauma of violence, (2) the destruction of the socio-cultural structure, and (3) dark figure of crime.

The Loro Dirma Traditional House in Sanleo Village is an important representation of the culture of the indigenous people and is the center of the formation of social, spiritual, and local wisdom identities.

Learning is a process of interaction between students, educators, and learning resources in a learning environment. The effectiveness of learning is greatly influenced by the teacher's ability to manage the class. At SDI Manumuti, a third-grade teacher demonstrated good classroom management in thematic learning, especially on the theme of caring for living things. Classroom management is an important factor in creating a conducive learning atmosphere so that the learning process can take place optimally. This study aims to explore more deeply the role of teachers in managing the class in thematic learning. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and interviews, while data analysis was carried out inductively through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers play an important role in creating and maintaining conducive classroom conditions. These efforts are carried out through two main strategies. First, teachers prioritize three aspects in learning, namely: (1) strengthening character education through discussion activities that encourage students to appear in front of the class, thereby fostering self-confidence, discipline, and activeness; (2) strengthening literacy through reading materials or stories related to the theme at the beginning of the meeting; and (3) the application of 4C skills (Creative, Critical thinking, Communicative, and Collaborative) through varied learning activities, including learning outside the classroom to avoid boredom. Second, teachers often use discussion methods to train students to express opinions, speak in front of the class, and work together. This method is considered effective in building students' self-confidence and social skills.

This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of the concept of meritocracy in education management as an effort to prevent nepotism in the recruitment process for elementary school teachers. Meritocracy is seen as an approach that emphasizes individual competence, qualifications, and achievements in the selection process for educators, while nepotism is often an obstacle in creating a professional and ethical educational environment. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with data collection through questionnaires distributed to students in education study programs who have acquired a basic understanding of educational management and teacher recruitment systems. The data were analyzed to describe the students' level of understanding, attitudes, and views on the application of meritocracy principles and their awareness of the negative impacts of nepotism in the world of education. The results show that the majority of students have a positive perception of meritocracy as a fair and effective system for improving the quality of educators. However, some students acknowledge that nepotism is still common in the education sector and is considered to undermine professionalism and public trust. These findings emphasize the importance of instilling meritocratic values from the university level and strengthening competency-based recruitment policies to support the creation of a transparent and high-quality education system.

The digital era requires companies to adapt to modern, efficient, and accurate taxation systems. This study aims to analyze the implementation of an integrated system to optimize tax administration processes in a port service company in Indonesia. The focus of this research is to examine how the integration of systems such as SAP, Coretax, Microsoft Excel, and digital banking platforms is utilized to manage Income Tax Article 23 (PPh 23), Value Added Tax (VAT), and the tax reimbursement process. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design, conducted through participatory observation, document analysis, and informal interviews with employees directly involved in tax administration. The results indicate that the integrated system positively impacts the efficiency, consistency, and reliability of tax administration processes. It helps streamline workflows and accelerate tax reporting, particularly in managing PPh 23 and VAT. However, weaknesses remain in the manual data recap stage using Microsoft Excel, which is prone to human error due to the absence of automatic validation mechanisms. Therefore, this study recommends developing a standardized Excel template equipped with automatic validation features and providing training for staff to enhance data accuracy and administrative effectiveness. These findings are expected to serve as a practical reference for other companies in implementing an integrated taxation system that is optimal and sustainable, as well as encouraging increased efficiency and compliance with tax administration in the corporate environment.

Hospitals are healthcare institutions with a high risk of disease transmission and cross-contamination, both for patients and healthcare workers. One of the key measures to prevent nosocomial infections is the proper and consistent use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by nutrition installation staff. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing PPE compliance in the Nutrition Installation of Hospital X. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 7 nutrition staff members consisting of 5 food servers (71.43%) and 2 cooks (28.57%). Based on educational background, most respondents had senior high school education (85.71%), while 1 respondent (14.29%) had an elementary-level education. Regarding work experience, 6 respondents (85.71%) had worked for more than 5 years, and 1 respondent (14.29%) had less than 5 years of experience. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge of PPE compliance (72.8%), while 27.1% demonstrated moderate knowledge. In terms of attitude, 68.8% showed good attitudes, and 32.2% showed moderate attitudes. These findings indicate that the nutrition installation staff at Hospital X have a good understanding of the importance of PPE in ensuring safety and hygiene. However, regular training, continuous supervision, and ergonomic improvement of PPE are still needed to maintain and improve consistent compliance.

This study aims to analyze the compliance of storage temperatures for fresh and dry food ingredients with food safety standards at Hospital X. The research used a descriptive qualitative–quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation at the hospital’s nutrition installation. The results showed that the storage temperature for dry food ingredients ranged from 20°C in the morning to 21.6°C in the afternoon, with an average storage duration of ≤ 1 week. Meanwhile, fresh food ingredients were stored according to their types: staple foods and vegetables in chillers at 8.6°C–9°C, animal-based foods in freezers at -10°C to -9.8°C, plant-based foods and fruits in chillers at 8.6°C–9°C, and seasonings on racks at 20°C–21.6°C. All food materials were stored for no more than one week, as procurement was conducted weekly based on patient numbers and menu cycles. The findings indicate that all storage temperatures complied with the food safety standards set by the Indonesian Ministry of Health and BPOM. Therefore, the food storage system at Hospital X is considered effective, hygienic, and compliant with hospital food safety regulations.

Islamic boarding schools and madrassas play an important role in the formation of religious character and education in Indonesia. The transformation of the regulations of these two institutions is crucial to adjust educational practices to the principles of the state of law of Pancasila. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the regulation of Islamic boarding schools and madrasah diniyyah and its impact on the internalization of Pancasila values. The method used is qualitative descriptive through the study of documents, including laws and regulations and related literature. The results of the study show that there are significant changes, such as formal recognition of institutional status, curriculum standards, and accreditation mechanisms, which strengthen operational legality and the application of Pancasila values. In addition, the latest regulations also encourage the improvement of the quality of governance, transparency of institutional management, and strengthening the role of the community in the education process. The implementation of these regulations also provides space for learning innovation, integration of religious moderation, and adaptation to social development. In conclusion, the harmonization of these regulations allows for religious education that is relevant to the national context while maintaining religious identity. This research provides the basis for the development of a balanced Islamic education policy between state authorities, the needs of students, and the autonomy of educational institutions in the face of modern challenges and increasingly complex social changes.

This study addresses citizenship justice in Indonesia amid the challenging era of globalization, focusing on the conflict between Pancasila as the state foundation and the dominant Islamic values in society. The study aims to analyze the synergy of Islamic principles—justice (ʿadl), equality (musawah), and public welfare (maslahah)—with the second and fifth principles of Pancasila to build sustainable and inclusive citizenship justice. The method used is qualitative, including content analysis and an in-depth literature review of the Qur'an, Hadith, and Pancasila documents, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with 20 experts in religion and constitutional law. The findings reveal a new conceptual framework called "Islamic Pancasila," which integrates the principle of tauhid with the value of gotong royong (mutual cooperation), reducing social polarization by up to 30% based on case simulations in multicultural areas like West Java. Islamic values provide a spiritual dimension that complements Pancasila, while Pancasila offers an inclusive nationalist framework. The study concludes that the synergy between Islamic values and Pancasila is not only a theoretical solution but also a practical strategy for realizing citizenship justice. Recommendations include integrating these values into the civic education curriculum and government policies to facilitate interfaith dialogue, strengthening national identity amid contemporary social and cultural dynamics.
