The history of the development of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire reflects the close relationship between politics and religion. This study examines how the Eastern Orthodox Church was formed and developed in the context of an empire that dominated the eastern regions of the Christian world. The main issues that arise are the Church's dependence on imperial patronage, internal conflicts such as iconoclasm, and the schism with the Western Church (Schism of 1054), which played a role in the formation of the Eastern Orthodox identity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the political, cultural, and theological context of the Byzantine Empire. It also explores the imperial influence on the church hierarchy and the evolution of theological teachings, as well as understanding how these dynamics shaped the unique characteristics of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The research method used is qualitative with a historical approach, through the analysis of literature and council documents. Data was drawn from various primary and secondary sources to explore the relationship between the church and the empire. The results show that the Eastern Orthodox Church flourished under Byzantine protection. Internal conflicts such as iconoclasm and external challenges such as the Great Schism affected the historical development of the church. Although the Byzantine Empire collapsed in 1453, its influence remained inherent in the traditions and hierarchy of the Eastern Orthodox Church that persist to this day.

This study aims to analyze the role of human relations in developing effective communication in the workplace. Effective communication is one of the most important factors in an organization's success, which depends not only on technical skills, but also on the quality of interpersonal relationships between team members and managers. Healthy human relations, which involve respectful interactions, building trust, and open communication, can support the achievement of organizational goals by creating a more productive and harmonious environment. This research method uses a qualitative approach with literature analysis and literature review techniques to identify relevant theories and previous research results regarding the relationship between individuals in the workplace and their impact on organizational communication.

The results of this study show that positive interpersonal relationships in the workplace play a crucial role in creating effective communication. Employees who feel valued and supported by their colleagues and employers tend to be more open to communicating information, providing constructive feedback, and collaborating efficiently. Conversely, interpersonal tension or poor communication can lead to miscommunication, conflict, and decreased productivity. The research also highlights the importance of communication training and interpersonal relationship management as part of organizational development to create a better work environment and support long-term success.

As a maritime country, Indonesia has the opportunity to ensure security and realize Indonesia as the world's maritime axis to make Indonesian waters a safe area in the future so that it can reduce the significant impact of external conflicts that occur outside Indonesian waters itself.

The development of digital technology drives the urgent need for comprehensive personal data protection. This research examines the Register of Processing Activities (ROPA) mechanism through a comparative study between Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law) and Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Using a normative juridical method and a comparative law approach, this research analyzes data protection regulations to identify differences and similarities in personal data protection mechanisms. The results of this study show that both regulations have similar goals in creating transparency and accountability, but have significant differences in implementation. Indonesia's PDP Law implements ROPA with a more flexible approach, while GDPR has stricter and more detailed provisions. In addition, this research also reveals the importance of ROPA as a documentation instrument that helps organizations manage data risks, protect individual rights, and build public trust in personal data management in the digital era. This study concludes that while ROPAs can enhance personal data protection, educational and technological support is needed for their effectiveness.

This study aims to investigate the role of digital literacy in helping students assess the validity of skincare product advertisement claims, particularly exaggerated or hyperbolic claims often found in beauty product advertisements on social media. Using a qualitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design, this study involved 30 students of the English Literature Study Program at Medan State University as respondents who had basic knowledge of digital literacy and familiarity with skincare product advertisements.

Overall, this study confirms the importance of digital literacy in helping students develop a critical attitude towards advertisements and can play a role in encouraging them to become smarter consumers who are skeptical of unrealistic claims in beauty product advertisements.  

This study investigates the impact of Canva, a digital literacy tool, on enhancing student engagement and academic performance through the lens of Self-Determination Theory by Johnmarshall Reeve (2012). Using qualitative methods, data were collected from student responses via questionnaires. The findings reveal that Canva positively influences the four dimensions of engagement: behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic.
