Mental health disorders such as depression, stress, and anxiety are commonly found among individuals in productive age and can have a substantial impact on their quality of life, both personally and socially. Early symptoms like fatigue, mild anxiety, or sleep disturbances, often go unrecognized as they frequently perceived as minor issues, leading to many cases remained undiagnosed during the early stages. The Community Service Program (PKM) conducted in Grogol Subdistrict aimed to raise the public awareness of the importance of early detection of mental health issues through screening using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). This activity adopted the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, encompassing mental health education, standardized screening, and follow-up in the form of referrals to mental health professionals for participants with abnormal scores. Among 67 participants, 6 individuals (8.96%) were found to have mild to severe depressive symptoms, 19 individuals (28.36%) exhibited mild to severe anxiety symptoms, and 2 individuals (2.99%) experienced mild stress symptoms. These findings emphasized the vital role of early education and screening in preventing mental health disorders, also serves as a foundation for fostering sustained public awareness regarding the importance of maintaining psychosocial well-being.

Domestic Violence (DV) is a serious human rights violation, particularly affecting women as a vulnerable group. Gorontalo City has seen a significant rise in DV cases, reflecting weak prevention efforts and law enforcement. Although Law No. 23/2004 regulates the elimination of DV, its local implementation faces structural, cultural, and resource-related challenges. This study analyzes the effectiveness of DV law enforcement in Gorontalo and identifies key obstacles. Using an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, data were collected through field research, interviews with law enforcers, and document analysis. The findings reveal that despite procedural efforts, barriers such as low public legal awareness, partiality among officials, limited victim protection facilities, and patriarchal norms hinder effective enforcement. Law enforcement remains ineffective due to weak institutional synergy and victims’ reluctance to seek justice. The study recommends specialized training for law enforcers, strengthening integrated victim services, and intensive legal outreach to build a more responsive environment to DV issues.

The vehicle ownership transfer form submission service at the Samsat Tandes Office in West Surabaya is a vital public service that frequently encounters issues such as long queues and extended waiting times. These conditions lead to user dissatisfaction and reduce the operational efficiency of the institution. This study aims to optimize the existing queuing system through a simulation-based approach to enhance service effectiveness and efficiency. The methodology includes mapping the current service process, collecting data on service times and customer arrivals, and modeling the queuing system using simulation software. Subsequently, several improvement scenarios were analyzed, including the addition of server resources. The simulation results indicate that the scenario involving the addition of one extra server during peak hours yields the most significant impact—reducing average customer waiting time by up to 20% and increasing the number of customers served per day. These findings demonstrate that simple interventions based on simulation analysis can produce substantial improvements in public service quality. In conclusion, a simulation-based approach proves to be effective in supporting strategic decision-making for queue system optimization and is highly recommended for implementation in other public service units facing similar challenges.

This study emphasizes that understanding the situational context of mural design is very important for interpreting the message conveyed more deeply and critically to society.

This research uses the Fraud Control Plan (FCP) as a moderating variable to explore how human resource competency, internal control systems, and internal supervision affect regional government financial reporting. Due to financial reporting transparency and accountability issues, public sector corruption remains rampant, prompting the study. A quantitative approach was used using moderated regression analysis. Lampung Province's Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) accounting and reporting workers received questionnaires to gather data. The results show that human resource competency, internal control mechanisms, and internal supervision improve financial reporting. The Fraud Control Plan strongly moderates the correlations between human resource competency, internal supervision, and financial reporting quality, but not the internal control system. These findings imply that improving human resource competences, internal supervision, and fraud control may significantly enhance regional government financial reporting openness and accountability.

This paper discusses the issue of gender equality from the perspective of Islamic family law and positive law in Indonesia. This study begins with a historical exploration of the treatment of women in the pre-Islamic era which was full of discrimination and oppression, until the arrival of Islam which brought about a major transformation towards respecting and recognizing women's rights. Furthermore, this paper reviews the comparison between the values ​​of gender equality in ideal Islamic family law with practices that are still influenced by patriarchal culture, as well as Indonesia's positive legal response to gender issues, such as through the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), the Marriage Law, and the ratification of international conventions such as CEDAW. This study also highlights the role and existence of women in the family as children, wives, and mothers, as well as the challenges faced by women in fighting for rights and equality in the domestic and public spheres. This paper emphasizes that achieving fair and balanced gender equality requires a reinterpretation of the law based on values ​​of justice and a structural commitment to empowering women in all aspects of life.

Technological advancements have driven the growth of the financial industry in Indonesia. A more complex financial system provides benefits but also raises issues, such as the rise of illegal investments by business entities without official authorization. Investment involves allocating capital with the expectation of future profits. The growing middle class and economic development in Cangkring Village have increased public interest in investing. Unfortunately, many are tempted by high returns with minimal capital without considering legality. This community service program, as part of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, aims to educate the public about legally compliant investments. The activities were conducted through lectures and participatory methods. The results indicate that public awareness of investment remains low due to limited financial literacy. Further education is needed to help people distinguish between legal and illegal investments, ensuring they invest safely and in accordance with applicable laws.

Results indicate that SILAT JANTAN enhances reporting effectiveness, although challenges such as limited socialization and community participation remain. Recommendations include improving socialization, user training, and system strengthening to support sustainable technology adoption. This research aims to guide the development of a more effective and efficient digital reporting system to improve public services in Kabupaten Madiun.  

Nutritional issues in Indonesia continue to pose a significant public health challenge and necessitate early educational interventions. Children aged 7 to 9, categorized as part of Generation Alpha, are digital natives who are beginning to develop logical thinking abilities and demonstrate a strong preference for audiovisual content. In response, a two-dimensional digital animation entitled “MIGI: Makan Minum Bergizi” was developed as an educational medium. This project aims to implement the animation principles of appeal, exaggeration, and squash & stretch, which serve as the foundation for communication and visual quality in animation. The animation was produced using Adobe After Effects with the keyframe animation technique, resulting in the application of the appeal principle through uniquely simple internal organ character designs, bright and contrasting color palettes, and the use of symbolic language relevant to the target audience. The exaggeration principle was applied to dramatize movement and emotional shifts, while squash & stretch was implemented using scale transformation and puppet tools, maintaining volume consistency. These three animation principles were consciously and conceptually applied to enhance the visual appeal and communicative effectiveness of the educational message, making the work an engaging and potentially impactful learning medium.

The third amendment to Law Number 1 of 2025 on State-Owned Enterprises has presented several juridical issues that need to be studied in depth, one of which is related to the establishment of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara). One of the main issues is the lack of public participation in drafting regulations, both at the planning stage and the formulation of legal norms. In addition, the existence of Danantara, which adopts the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) model, raises the potential for overlap with a similar institution, the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), which was established earlier. Provisions regarding the filling of organ positions, exceptions to the definition of state finances and losses, and weak external oversight mechanisms further strengthen concerns about irregularities in governance. These conditions are potentially at odds with the general principles of good governance (AAUPB), the Law on Government Administration, the Law on State Ministries, and the Law on the Eradication of Corruption. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the establishment of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara), focusing on the legal basis for its establishment and its compatibility with the principles of constitutional law and government administration in Indonesia.

This research analyzes the role of Instagram social media in shaping digital public space for the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (WALHI) environmental movement. The main focus of this study is how the @walhi.national account mobilizes discourse, solidarity, and collective action in contemporary ecological issues, with a theoretical approach that refers to Sidney Tarrow's Cycle of Contention framework (1994). The analysis shows that WALHI utilizes Instagram as a means to respond to political moments and ecological crises, such as the Rempang conflict (2023) and the rejection of the Trenggalek gold mine (#TolakTambangTrenggalek). The initial phase was characterized by the outbreak of political opportunities through controversial policies. WALHI then mobilized, framed and diffused action through the spread of visual narratives and hashtag campaigns that expanded solidarity. In the final phase, WALHI as an organization has undergone a transformation process from a field-based advocacy movement to a professional, strategic and technology-adaptive digital actor. WALHI through @walhi.national together with various parties such as volunteers, academics, communities and the public have contributed to encouraging institutional advocacy and redrafting policy discourse related to the environment. This study concludes that social media is not only a tool for information dissemination, but also a field of political articulation that can strengthen or challenge power structures in the contestation cycle. Instagram becomes an important arena for WALHI in maintaining moral legitimacy and expanding the environmental movement to a more inclusive and connected level.

As a democratic legal state, Indonesia is obligated to guarantee press freedom as an information source for the community and as a social watchdog. The ITE Law, a response to technological developments, affects the existence of press media, which now present information digitally. This research focuses on two main issues: First, it examines the implications of the ITE Law on press freedom using Lawrence M. Friedman's theory. Second, it explores how to ideally guarantee press freedom through the legal protection of journalists. This study aims to examine the extent to which the ITE Law restricts press freedom. This study employs a normative juridical approach with a literature review and case analysis of the criminalization of journalists in Indonesia. The results show that the ITE Law creates legal ambiguity, thus triggering the abuse of vague articles, particularly Article 26, paragraph 3, which contradicts press freedom as protected by the 1945 Constitution. The study concludes that there is a need for a fundamental revision of the ITE Law to create a balance between individual rights and public interests. Alternative solutions include synchronizing the law with the press law and strengthening the role of the Press Council.
