Human resource quality serves as a crucial pillar for national development, as it significantly influences a country’s progress and competitiveness. Therefore, enhancing human resource capacity has become a strategic priority, particularly at the regional level where local governments play a vital role. The Government of Bojonegoro Regency has introduced several initiatives to support this objective, including the Ten Scholars per Village Scholarship Program, the Scientist Scholarship, and Final Project Assistance. Despite these efforts, several implementation challenges remain, such as cases of manipulated eligibility requirements among applicants, the absence of a digitized system for registration and document submission, and limited communication channels between program administrators and scholarship recipients. This research seeks to examine, explain, and evaluate the role of local government, especially the Education Office, in executing scholarship programs based on the theoretical framework of government roles as regulator, dynamizer, and facilitator. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection, followed by data analysis using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that although the local government has begun implementing scholarship programs, the execution is not fully effective. Supervision during participant selection focuses mainly on administrative completeness rather than document authenticity. Furthermore, direct outreach activities are limited to certain regions, coordination with village authorities remains minimal, and digital transformation has yet to be realized due to unsuccessful collaboration with the Communication and Information Agency despite several coordination meetings.

This research seeks to analyze how balancing funds and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) contribute to regional financial performance through a literature review approach. The study is motivated by inconsistencies in prior findings as well as the crucial role of these two revenue components in strengthening the fiscal autonomy of local governments. The method applied involves a review of relevant academic studies published between 2022 and 2025, which were sourced from Google Scholar. The findings suggest that balancing funds are able to support improvements in financial performance when managed effectively, although their use may also lead to a higher level of dependence on the central government. In contrast, PAD generally shows a positive relationship with financial performance, as it represents a region’s capacity to generate and manage its own revenue, even though several studies report that its influence is not always statistically significant.Overall, this study highlights the need for optimizing PAD management alongside ensuring that balancing funds are allocated in an efficient and transparent manner, in order to achieve sustainable improvements in regional financial performance.

This study examines the effectiveness of the Jakarta Evolution (JakEVO) program in the implementation of online-based licensing services in South Jakarta, specifically for public transportation route licensing. The program was initiated as part of a public service reform effort aimed at improving accessibility, efficiency, and transparency in the licensing administration process. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies, involving both the implementing officials at the South Jakarta UP PMPTSP and the public as service users. The findings indicate that JakEVO has positively contributed to the ease and flexibility of the licensing process, particularly in reducing the need for face-to-face interactions. However, its implementation has not yet been fully optimized due to several challenges, including limited program socialization, low digital literacy among the public, technical disruptions in the application system, and human resource capacity that is not fully adaptive to digital transformation. Additionally, the program's evaluation mechanism remains descriptive and lacks comprehensive quantitative performance indicators.

This study discusses the implementation of the CEISA 4.0 System (Customs Excise Information System and Automation) in managing Manifest Inward and Outward data at PT. Surya Samudera Indah under the supervision of the Batam Customs Office. The research is motivated by the need for efficiency and accuracy in customs processes in the era of digitalization. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of CEISA 4.0 in supporting customs supervision and services, as well as to identify the challenges encountered during its implementation. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the implementation of CEISA 4.0 has had a positive impact on the speed and accuracy of manifest data reporting, particularly in document validation and tracking processes. However, several technical barriers such as network disruptions and system errors, as well as non-technical obstacles including limited human resource competence and lack of coordination between the company and customs authorities, were identified. The implications of this research highlight the need for system optimization through technological infrastructure improvement and human resource capacity enhancement to ensure CEISA 4.0 functions more effectively in supporting the smooth flow of national and international logistics.  

Working memory (WM) has been extensively studied as a cognitive factor influencing second language acquisition (SLA), but many studies treat it as a static, trait-like capacity. This approach provides limited insight into how WM works across different stages of development, proficiency levels, and learning contexts. This article combines theoretical and empirical research on working memory in SLA from a dynamic and developmental perspective, analyzing how the influence of WM varies over time and interacts with other cognitive and contextual factors. Referencing Baddeley's multicomponent model, complex dynamic systems theory, and longitudinal research, this article examines evidence regarding the role of WM in various language domains, including vocabulary learning, grammar processing, and language production. It also investigates how WM works differently at various proficiency levels and developmental periods, from childhood to adulthood. Evidence suggests that WM plays a very strong role in the early stages of learning when processing is effortful and controlled, but becomes less central as linguistic knowledge becomes automated. The relationship between WM and SLA appears to be bidirectional, with sustained language learning contributing to the development of specific WM components, particularly executive control. The influence of WM varies significantly based on task characteristics, teaching context, and learner profiles. Understanding WM as a dynamic resource rather than a fixed constraint has important pedagogical implications. Instructions that manage cognitive load, provide support, and encourage metacognitive awareness can help learners with diverse cognitive profiles. A developmental approach in WM research requires longitudinal designs and task-aligned methodologies to capture changes over time, thereby advancing theory and practice in SLA.

Gender-based and age-based violence targeting women and children continues to pose a serious challenge to human rights protection in Indonesia. As the principal duty bearer, the state bears the obligation to respect, protect, and fulfill victims' rights through effective protection mechanisms, one of which is the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA). This research analyzes the contribution of UPTD PPA Bandung City in fulfilling the human rights of victims of violence against women and children and maps the obstacles encountered in operational service delivery. The study utilizes a juridical-empirical method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data were gathered through in-depth interviews with UPTD PPA Bandung City representatives in November 2025, whereas secondary data were derived from the examination of legal regulations and relevant scholarly literature. Research findings reveal that UPTD PPA Bandung City managed 382 cases in 2025 by providing complaint mechanisms, assessment procedures, legal and psychological support, counseling services, and shelter facilities. These services demonstrate normative compliance with national legislation and human rights principles, particularly concerning protection, rehabilitation, and access to justice. Nevertheless, service delivery encounters several challenges, including insufficient human resources and facilities, underreporting by victims, and suboptimal cross-institutional coordination. Consequently, strengthening institutional capacity, ensuring adequate infrastructure, developing integrated standard operating procedures, and establishing regional regulatory frameworks are essential to guarantee effective and sustained fulfillment of victims' rights.

This paper reviews the dynamics of cybersecurity in Indonesia, focusing on the role of the Indonesian National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) in Indonesia’s cybersecurity architecture. The conceptual framework used is cyber security to analyze cybersecurity phenomena in Indonesia and multi-level cybersecurity governance as a tool for analyzing the role of BSSN in the field of cybersecurity. A descriptive qualitative approach is the main methodological approach in this study. With this approach, this study attempts to describe the role of BSSN in Indonesia’s cybersecurity architecture. Data collection was carried out through a literature study obtained from BSSN’s main documents, official reports, and related journal articles. The findings show that BSSN has a strategic role in Indonesian cybersecurity. This strategic role is demonstrated by BSSN’s various achievement in cybersecurity, such as the drafting of a national cybersecurity bill, the development of human resources capacity in the cyber field and the establishment of cooperation with various parties, both domestically and internationally.

This Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) empowerment and development program aims to improve the capacity of business financial management through training in simple bookkeeping, preparation of simple financial reports, and business cost analysis in Tegal Sari Hamlet, Block S, Batumarta 1 Village, Lubuk Raja District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. This program is motivated by the low ability of MSMEs to systematically record their finances, separate their business finances from their personal finances, and utilize cost information as a basis for business decision-making. The implementation method includes an initial survey, observation, interviews, training, and direct mentoring for MSMEs. The results of the program indicate that before the program was implemented, most MSMEs had not implemented regular financial records and had not prepared business financial reports. After the training and mentoring, there was an increase in the understanding and skills of MSMEs in recording daily financial transactions, preparing simple profit and loss reports, and calculating the cost of production as a basis for determining selling prices. This activity has a positive impact on increasing the independence and sustainability of MSME business management.

This research is motivated by the rise of online sales fraud cases on the island of Bali that are detrimental to consumers, the purpose of this research is to analyze it from the aspect of juridical studies and the basis of judges' decisions in deciding cases, this research uses a normative method with a library approach, the results of the study show that online fraud crimes utilize digital technology to manipulate data, here the defendant uses fake transfer evidence as a tool to deceive the store that meets the elements in Article 378 of the Criminal Code, namely the intention to benefit oneself unlawfully, and Article 35 of the ITE Law concerning manipulation of electronic information with the aim of making the data considered authentic, the basis for the judge's consideration to pass a verdict because the existence of photos of transfer evidence and the victim's account balance is sufficient to convince the judge that the defendant is guilty. Legal protection for victims of online fraud has been regulated in the Consumer Protection Law, the ITE Law and government regulations related to electronic transactions, but to strengthen preventive and systemic efforts, public education and increased capacity of law enforcement officers are needed, With the latest regulations such as Law No. 1 of 2024 concerning the second amendment to the ITE Law, Presidential Decree No. Law No. 49 of 2024 concerning the National Strategy for Consumer Protection and Minister of Trade Regulation No. 17 of 2024 concerning the National Action Plan for Consumer Protection have implications for strengthening legal protection for victims of online fraud, which is expected to provide a sense of security in digital transactions.

This study examines the role of the private sector in collaborative politics to strengthen human security in preventing human trafficking in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Human trafficking is an extraordinary crime that poses serious threats to human security, particularly for Indonesian Migrant Worker Candidates (CPMI) who are highly vulnerable to exploitation and illegal recruitment. The complexity of this issue requires the involvement of multiple actors, including not only the government but also the private sector. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research sites include BP3MI East Nusa Tenggara as a government representative and two private companies, PT Bakti Unggul Sejahtera (PT BUS) and PT AKKA AL-MATAR. The analysis is based on the collaborative governance framework proposed by Ansell and Gash, which emphasizes face-to-face dialogue, trust building, commitment to the process, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. The findings indicate that collaboration between the government and the private sector plays a significant role in preventing human trafficking through legal recruitment processes, pre-departure training, capacity building, and supervision of labor placement procedures. Although challenges remain in coordination and policy consistency, these collaborative practices contribute positively to strengthening the protection of migrant workers’ rights and security. This study concludes that collaborative politics between the government and the private sector is a crucial strategy in developing a human security–oriented human trafficking prevention system

Gender based violence against women and children in Lampung Province represents a multidimensional issue that poses serious challenges to human development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although various regulations and programs have been implemented such as Gender Mainstreaming (PUG), Gender Responsive Budgeting (ARG), and local innovations like TAPIS Village and space together with Indonesia (RBI) their implementation remains largely sectoral and lacks systemic coordination. This policy paper employs a descriptive qualitative approach combined with public policy analysis to identify the root cause, namely the absence of an integrated policy framework that ensures cross-sectoral synergy in addressing gender based violence. Data were collected through interviews with key stakeholders and document studies of regional and national planning instruments, including the RPJMD, RENSTRA, and relevant regulations. The analysis reveals that weak inter-agency coordination, limited use of gender-disaggregated data, low human resource capacity, and the absence of an incentive sanction mechanism are the main obstacles to effective policy implementation. Three policy alternatives were formulated: the development of a gender responsive complaint platform for violence against women and children, the integration of gender-disaggregated data systems, and the adoption of a reward punishment system for government agencies. Based on Dunn’s six evaluation criteria, the establishment of a gender-responsive complaint platform is considered the most effective and is recommended as a strategic solution. This policy is expected to strengthen institutional synergy, enhance intervention effectiveness, and foster an inclusive and sustainable protection system for women and children in Lampung Province.

This study aims to analyze the creation of public value through the Multi-Purpose Credit (KSG) program implemented by Bank Sumsel Babel Prabumulih Branch in improving financial inclusion for civil servants (ASN) in Prabumulih City. The analysis employs Mark H. Moore's Public Value Strategic Triangle, which consists of three core dimensions: public value, legitimacy and support, and operational capacity. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving seven informants, including internal bank officials and KSG borrowers with varying credit statuses (current, substandard, and non-performing). Overall, the study concludes that the KSG program successfully creates public value by expanding access to formal financial services, strengthening ASN financial literacy, and contributing to local financial inclusion. The findings indicate that the program not only functions as a banking product but also as a public service instrument that supports socioeconomic stability among civil servants. However, several challenges remain, particularly in ensuring equal benefits for borrowers facing repayment difficulties. Therefore, improvements in post-disbursement support, the development of online consultation services, and the provision of continuous and targeted financial education are needed to enhance program sustainability and ensure that public value is distributed more evenly among all borrower categories.

Digital transformation in the public sector has encouraged the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a strategic instrument to enhance the effectiveness and quality of public service delivery. In Indonesia, the implementation of AI within the public administrative system remains at an early stage and faces various structural, regulatory, and ethical challenges. This study aims to analyze the opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications of AI implementation in Indonesia’s public administration. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature review and policy analysis of governmental digital transformation regulations. The findings indicate that AI holds significant potential to improve bureaucratic efficiency, service transparency, and data-driven decision-making processes. However, regulatory gaps, limited digital literacy among public officials, the risk of algorithmic bias, and data protection concerns constitute major obstacles to its effective implementation. The novelty of this study lies in integrating public administration management analysis with a public service ethics framework grounded in good governance principles within the context of AI implementation in Indonesia. This study recommends strengthening regulatory frameworks for AI in the public sector, enhancing human resource capacity, and developing ethical guidelines for AI utilization to ensure that public services remain accountable, equitable, and oriented toward the public interest.

This study looks at how the government isn't doing enough to watch over logging in Sumatra and how that leads to a higher chance of flooding, using the ideas from Administrative Law. Ineffective supervision, both during the licensing process and afterwards, significantly contributes to the decline of the forest's ecological functions, resulting in hydrological disasters. The study uses normative law and follows a literature review method. The data used consists of secondary data, including primary legal materials such as legislation, as well as secondary materials like textbooks, academic journals, and digital sources. Data was gathered by looking at documents and then looked at using a descriptive-qualitative approach. The research shows that the government's failure to properly carry out its responsibilities in forestry management can be considered an illegal government action, known as an 'onrechtmatige overheidsdaad'. This action goes against the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB), especially the principles of being careful with public money, being responsible, and ensuring that laws are clear and followable. This situation leads to the government being responsible, which means they must take steps to fix the environment and offer help to the communities that were affected. This study suggests strengthening the forestry oversight system by implementing regulatory improvements, improving the capacity of officials, utilizing technology, and involving the community actively to ensure transparent, accountable, and sustainable environmental management.

Background: The maternal mortality rate in Indonesia reaches 177 per 100,000 live births, with 75 percent of deaths occurring in the first week of the postpartum period. The partnership between midwives and village shamans is an adaptive strategy to optimize maternal health services, but its implementation still faces various systemic obstacles. Objective: To analyze factors related to the partnership of village midwives and shamans in caring for postpartum mothers in the BLUD area of the Tumpung Laung Health Center UPT. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design involved 50 respondents using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: There was a significant relationship between age (p=0.032), work experience (p=0.048), education (p=0.000), knowledge (p=0.000), competence (p=0.000), quality of communication (p=0.000), frequency of interaction (p=0.000), policy support (p=0.000), and availability of facilities (p=0.000) with partnership effectiveness. Conclusions: Effective partnerships are influenced by a multiplicity of factors at the individual, interpersonal, and structural levels, requiring holistic interventions through capacity building, communication strengthening, and comprehensive policy support to accelerate maternal mortality reduction.

This study aims to identify and analyze the contribution of the Mosque Welfare Board in improving the religious attitudes of the community around Ar-Ridha Mosque, Titipapan. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews with informants and documentation studies. The results indicate that many mosques are still only used as places for ritual worship and have not been optimized as facilities for empowering the Islamic capacity of the surrounding community. In fact, mosques should not only function as places for congregational prayers but also serve as centers for social, economic, and educational development. At Ar-Ridha Mosque, the utilization of facilities and infrastructure as well as activity management has not been optimal, which affects the comfort and participation of the congregation. Therefore, greater seriousness and responsibility from the mosque administrators are needed to ensure that the mosque functions effectively as a center for fostering the community’s religious development.

This study discusses the position of persons with disabilities, especially those with mental and intellectual disabilities, in carrying out legal actions following the judicial review of Article 433 of the Civil Code through the Constitutional Court Decision Number 93/PUU-XX/2022. Prior to this amendment, Article 433 of the Civil Code used discriminatory terms and automatically placed persons with disabilities under guardianship, thereby eliminating their legal capacity as independent legal subjects. This Constitutional Court decision changed the phrase "must be guarded" to "can be guarded" and emphasized that the placement of guardianship can only be made based on a competent medical diagnosis. The research method used is normative juridical through a statutory approach and court decisions. The results of the study show that the change in norms restores the constitutional rights of persons with disabilities, including the right to autonomy, equality before the law, and protection from discrimination. In addition, this change directly affects the requirements for capacity in making agreements according to Article 1320 of the Civil Code, so that persons with mental disabilities who have the capacity are still considered capable of acting. Therefore, this decision is an important step in realizing a legal system that is more inclusive, just and respects the dignity of people with disabilities.

This study is a case study that analyzes the handling of sexual violence in Cianjur Regency, examining the relationship between social morality, the role of law enforcement officials, and the effectiveness of criminal law policy after the enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS Law). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an empirical juridical method through a sociological approach to law. Data was obtained through interviews with law enforcement officials, field observations, and a literature review of relevant legislation and scientific literature. The results of the study show that the handling of sexual violence cases in Cianjur Regency still faces obstacles in the form of weak social morality, strong stigma against victims, and a patriarchal culture that affects reporting and law enforcement processes. In addition, the role of law enforcement officials has not been optimal due to limited capacity, coordination between institutions, and a lack of sensitivity to the victims' perspective. This study recommends strengthening the capacity of law enforcement officials through training on gender perspectives and the implementation of the TPKS Law, continuous education on social morality at the community level, and strengthening inter-agency coordination to improve victim protection and the effectiveness of criminal law policy in Cianjur Regency.

The success of this program is highly influenced by the quality of regional planning coordinated by the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency. This research aimed to identify and analyze the role of the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency in planning the handling of uninhabitable houses, understand the stages of the planning process, and determine the factors that influence its effectiveness. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study during the internship period in the Infrastructure and Regional Development Division. The results showed that the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency has carried out its functions as a facilitator, verifier, and evaluator by integrating the uninhabitable houses program into the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan, the Regional Government Work Plan, and the Strategic Plans of regional agencies. However, several obstacles were still encountered, including limited budget allocation, delays and inaccuracies in data, inadequate human resource capacity, and suboptimal coordination among stakeholders. Therefore, it was necessary to improve institutional capacity, strengthen information systems, and enhance cross-sectoral synergy so that the planning for handling uninhabitable houses can be implemented more effectively, accurately targeted, and sustainably.

The implementation of the Health Workload Analysis (ABK Kes) method reveals both strengths and weaknesses, particularly regarding the suboptimal execution of core tasks such as filing and distributing medical records. This study aims to compare the workload of health human resources (SDMK) between primary and advanced healthcare facilities—specifically Banyudono 1 Public Health Center and Indriati Boyolali Hospital—both of which have implemented hybrid medical record systems. Using primary data collected through interviews and observations and analyzed via the ABK Kes method, the results indicate a need for 10 additional staff members in the Casemix Unit at Indriati Boyolali Hospital and 2 additional medical record practitioners at Banyudono 1 Public Health Center. The Available Working Time (WKT) at the Public Health Center was set at 75,000 based on the Minister of PAN-RB Regulation No. 1 of 2020, whereas the Hospital used real-time calculations. While the Public Health Center aligns its policies with Ministry of Health Regulation No. 19 of 2020, the Hospital adjusts its staffing needs based on the ABK Kes results. Given that this method focuses primarily on quantity, future research and development (R&D) should integrate Lean Thinking for process analysis, ABK Kes for capacity, Queueing Theory for dynamic analysis, and NASA-TLX for psychological evaluation to provide a more holistic assessment of staffing needs.
