Medical malpractice is a medical act that can be highly detrimental, as it directly affects the community by causing negligence in medical services. In this regard, legislation provides protection to the Indonesian people and safeguards their rights as recipients of healthcare services. The aim of this research is to examine the criminal responsibility of healthcare professionals in cases of malpractice. The author also employs a juridical research method, where the main issue serves as the primary data, and in order to provide strong results, legal regulations are used as secondary data to offer an assessment for addressing malpractice cases transparently. The results of this research explain that a doctor can be legally prosecuted for their negligence in providing healthcare services, both from the perspective of law and medical ethics.  

The rapid advancement of knowledge and information technology has reshaped the perspectives and lifestyles of Indonesian citizens, particularly through innovations like Artificial Intelligence (AI), which automates various tasks and simplifies human activities. However, the misuse of AI has become a critical issue in 2023, especially in spreading sophisticated fake information. To address this, Law No. 1 of 2024, amending Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions, is expected to combat AI software misuse effectively. This study investigates the legal implications of AI misuse, particularly concerning privacy and personal data security, and examines its interpretation under Articles 27 and 32 of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law to enhance law enforcement and safeguard individual privacy rights. Using a normative legal research approach, the findings reveal that AI misuse, such as manipulating photos and videos, violates data protection laws, including the GDPR in the European Union and Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Act. Such violations can lead to severe penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage for companies. Recognized as a form of cybercrime, AI misuse is addressed under Article 35 of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law, which provides a specialized legal framework for handling such offenses comprehensively.

Changes in the health insurance system in Indonesia continue to evolve, one of which is implementing the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy as a replacement for the BPJS Health class system based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 59 of 2024. This policy is designed to unify healthcare classes to reduce disparities in healthcare access and quality in Indonesia. However, its implementation is faced with key challenges, including hospital infrastructure readiness, limited human resources, and criticism from various parties, including patients and healthcare providers. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to review various policy documents, relevant literature, and legal and social perspectives related to policy implementation. The results show that although KRIS has the potential to reduce disparities in access to health services, its implementation requires more attention to the readiness of health facilities, strengthening management systems, and budget adjustments to support optimal operations. Furthermore, this policy requires the active involvement of the community and health workers in the evaluation and decision-making process so that the policy is more responsive to the real needs in the field. The theoretical approaches used, such as public policy theory and progressive law, highlight the importance of cooperation between the government, healthcare providers, and communities to ensure effective and equitable implementation of KRIS. This research suggests improving hospital infrastructure, continuous training for health workers, and strengthening a transparent monitoring system to ensure the success of this policy. This research is expected to make a positive contribution to the formulation of health policies that are more inclusive and sustainable and can serve as a reference in efforts to realize a more equitable and fair health service system for all Indonesians.

The development of communication and information technology currently has a major impact on the pattern of public complaints about public services which in the era of digital democracy are inseparable from the dynamics of regional government. The presence of regulations regarding public services through Law Number 25 of 2009 and various derivative regulations in the implementation of regional government is an important part of moving towards a more democratic life. This study aims to discuss the policy of the South Sumatera Provincial Government in handling public service complaints through electronic communication media in the era of digital democracy from a political and public policy perspective. The study uses a combination of normative legal methods and secondary data analysis. The study concludes that politically, handling public complaints about regional government services is a positive thing. In the context of digital democracy and the quality of public services, the response of the regional government to public complaints is a measure of good governance. The issuance of Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2013, Governor Regulation Number 26 of 2016, and Governor Regulation Number 9 of 2022 are concrete manifestations of public policy. As a product of the political process, this is substantively related to public services and public complaints in the digital era. The existence of an electronic complaint channel regarding public services opens up space for increasing public awareness of their rights. Political life will be more democratic when communication between the government and the people runs functionally. There are several regional policy substances that need to be improved.

Dumping, characterized by selling goods at below-market prices in export markets, poses significant ethical and economic concerns in global trade. Islamic law (shariah), with its emphasis on justice, equity, and harm reduction, provides a unique lens for analyzing such practices. This review synthesizes insights from scholarly works to explore the compatibility of Islamic legal principles with anti-dumping measures. Key findings include Islamic jurisprudence’s proactive stance against predatory pricing (siyasah al-ighraq) for its potential to harm market stability and marginalize smaller producers. Studies show that Islamic law prioritizes public welfare (maslahah) and promotes ethical market behaviors, offering alternative regulatory perspectives to address trade malpractice. Through case studies like Indonesia’s WTO defense on paper dumping and comparative analyses with Saudi trade laws, this review highlights the robust ethical foundation Islamic law brings to contemporary international trade debates. The synthesis concludes by advocating integrative frameworks to harmonize Islamic ethics with global trade governance.

To ensure openness, responsibility and effectiveness in managing state finances, this research examines state financial management from a legality and anti-corruption perspective. In this research, relevant laws and regulations and scientific literature were studied using a literature study approach. The research results show that the principle of legality emphasizes the need for all state financial management activities to comply with relevant regulations, including the use of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) as a legal basis. The anti-corruption principle complements the principle of legality with preventive pressure and firm action against the protection of permits that are detrimental to state finances. These two principles support each other to ensure responsible financial management, protect officials with good intentions, and take action against perpetrators of corruption who fulfill the elements of malicious intent. In conclusion, implementing the principles of legality and anti-corruption synergistically can encourage good state financial governance, support clean government, and create sustainable development.

The determination of human skeletons and fragments has significant value from both a legal and humanitarian perspective, which generally includes the evaluation of teeth, bones, fingerprints, and genetic material. However, fingerprinting and DNA methods are not without their limitations. Sex determination is an important first step in biological profiling, which plays a role in victim matching. Research on sex identification using T12 vertebrae with Geometric Morphometric (GM) techniques is still relatively rare. The GM technique deeply explores the dimensions and shape of objects. This study used an analytic observational design with a retrospective cross-sectional approach, involving 100 CT scan samples from Dr. Kariadi Hospital. Gender was used as the independent variable, while size (centroid size) and shape (principal component) were the dependent variables. The results of independent t-test and Mann-Whitney analysis showed a significant difference in T12 vertebra size between men and women (p = 0.000), but not in shape (p = 0.439). Based on the GM technique, it was revealed that the difference in T12 vertebrae between men and women was in size, not shape.

This study offers concrete recommendations for system improvement, which are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers, legal practitioners, and other stakeholders in efforts to improve access to justice for child rape victims in Indonesia.  

This study aims to explore how the integration of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma', and Qiyas becomes the main foundation in building a sharia economic framework that is relevant to modern challenges. The Qur'an, as the main source of Islamic law, provides holistic and transformative guidelines, while the Sunnah serves as an explanation and reinforcement of the principles contained in the Qur'an. On the other hand, Ijma' and Qiyas play a crucial role in formulating new laws that are not explicitly mentioned in the sacred texts, thus enabling the application of sharia in the context of contemporary economic problems that continue to develop. This study uses a literature study approach to analyze various theoretical and empirical perspectives related to the application of the four sources of law in sharia economics. The research findings show that the integration of the four sources of Islamic law not only forms a strong normative basis but also provides an understanding in responding to the needs of modern society. In this way, sharia economics can accommodate the principles of justice, poverty, and inclusiveness, which are the essence of building an economic system oriented towards collective welfare. In addition, this study critiques the challenges in implementing sharia principles, especially in the process of interpretation and adaptation to global dynamics. The limitations of conventional methodologies in integrating legal sources often become obstacles in creating solutions that are appropriate to local and global contexts. Therefore, this study suggests the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration between scholars, economists, and policy makers to ensure that sharia economics can develop consistently and relevantly to the needs of the times. These findings not only enrich academic discourse but also provide practical contributions in efforts to build a more just, sustainable, and Islamic-value-based economic order.  

The rapid development of information technology has brought significant changes, particularly in the area of cybercrime, such as electronic document forgery. This research explores the role of digital forensics and information technology in proving electronic document forgery crimes in Indonesia, using a normative legal research approach. The study employs both a statute approach and a conceptual approach to analyze the effectiveness of digital forensics in uncovering electronic crimes. The findings show that while digital forensics plays a crucial role in investigating electronic document forgery, there are several complex challenges in its implementation. One of the major obstacles is the limited number of certified digital forensic experts in Indonesia, with only 147 professionals qualified in this field. Additionally, the existing legal regulations have not kept pace with the rapid advancements in digital technology, which poses significant challenges to enforcement efforts. The study identifies various technical barriers, such as the complexity of forensic technologies, the volatile nature of digital evidence, and the ever-evolving techniques used by cybercriminals. These factors complicate the process of proving electronic crimes and pose difficulties for investigators. In response to these challenges, the research recommends strategic measures such as strengthening the capacity of forensic laboratories, harmonizing legal regulations with technological advancements, and improving the competency of human resources in both technological and legal fields. The study contributes to the development of a conceptual framework for cyber law enforcement, providing a comprehensive perspective on the challenges faced in proving electronic crimes in the digital age. The research aims to inform policymakers in crafting more effective and adaptive law enforcement strategies.

Ethics in face-to-face discussion learning for accounting students finds new challenges when AI has been widely used. This study aims to determine the dimensions of legality, ethics, and behavior of AI use in accounting students' discussions. This study is exploratory descriptive. Primary data were collected through interview methods. Secondary data was obtained through a literature study. Respondents were 3rd-semester students of the accounting study program who had not taken the Professional Ethics course. The findings from the legal aspect show that there is a legal vacuum related to the results of AI's work. Therefore, the results of AI's work are owned by users who download it and agree to the terms and conditions that apply to the AI ​​installed on their devices. In this regard, we recommend the implementation of the Work Made For Hire Doctrine. The Ethics Aspect is still related to the legal vacuum aspect, so students need rules or initial agreements in using AI in face-to-face discussion activities. The result strengthens the evidence of deontological ethics in Accounting students. The benefits of using AI from the results of this study are to increase class activity, so that lecturers are expected to elaborate on the use of AI in their lecture methods. Another positive side of using AI is because the answers are too broad and often inconsistent, this condition triggers students’ critical thinking. On the other hand, students generally use AI to save time. Therefore, it is recommended that accounting student lecturers provide a different perspective on the importance of studying lecture material, and emphasize the assessment of each individual based on the process, not on the result.

The practice of dentists in Indonesia is an important concern in the health care system, especially regarding consumer protection. Dentists often provide services that exceed the limits of their authority, potentially endangering public health. This article aims to analyze the urgency of legal protection for consumers of health services in dental practices based on a normative perspective and the implementation of applicable regulations. This research uses normative juridical methods with statutory, conceptual and case approaches. The research results show that even though there are regulations such as Law no. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Minister of Health Regulation no. 39 of 2014, implementation is still less effective. This is caused by weak supervision, minimal public knowledge regarding consumer rights, and non-compliance by some dentists with regulations. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, increase supervision by the government, and educate the public to realize optimal legal protection for consumers of health services.
