This study aims to analyze the suspected violation of advertising ethics by Almaz Fried Chicken through the claim “Saudi Chicken No.1 in Indonesia” on the Instagram platform. The claim was repeatedly published without valid supporting evidence, such as surveys, awards, or credible data sources. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method and content analysis technique on the visual and textual content of Almaz Fried Chicken’s official Instagram posts. The results show that the superlative claim does not comply with the Indonesian Advertising Ethics Code, which requires substantiation for superiority claims. Advertising visuals—such as color schemes, typography, and cultural symbols—were used to reinforce the impression of authenticity and superiority, but lacked verifiable basis. The study concludes that the claim used by Almaz Fried Chicken violates the principles of honesty, truthfulness, and responsibility in marketing communication, and potentially misleads consumers while creating unfair competition in the digital marketplace.

The reform of criminal law in Indonesia through Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP) marks an important paradigm shift in the criminal justice system, especially related to the protection of victims of crimes. So far, the orientation of the Criminal Code of colonial heritage has emphasized more on the perpetrators of crimes, while victims are often positioned passively and marginalized. This article aims to critically examine the extent to which Law No. 1 of 2023 strengthens the rights of victims, both in material and procedural aspects. With a normative juridical approach and an analysis of the new norms in the National Criminal Code, this article finds that a number of provisions, such as the victim's right to restitution, participation in judicial proceedings, and identity protection, reflect a greater recognition of the interests of the victim. However, in practice, there are still implementation challenges, including limitations in the mechanism for the implementation of these rights, as well as potential inequalities in access to justice. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen derivative regulations, socialization, and synergy between law enforcement agencies to ensure that victim protection runs effectively and fairly.

This study aims to examine the types and functions of code mixing used by Boy William in his YouTube videos. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to analyse the linguistic data collected from four selected videos on his channel. The findings revealed that four types of code mixing were present in Boy William’s speech: unit insertion, unit hybridization, sentence insertion, and reduplication. A total of 23 instances of code mixing were identified across the selected videos, with the following distribution: 10 cases of unit insertion, 4 of unit hybridization, 8 of sentence insertion, and 1 of reduplication. Additionally, seven functions of code mixing were identified, including expressing emotion, asserting status, showing pride, enhancing clarity, making jokes, fulfilling communicative needs, and reflecting prestige. Based on this research, it can be concluded that code mixing is a common feature in Boy William’s YouTube content, serving various social and communicative purposes. The findings of this study offer an implication, particularly in the fields of sociolinguistics in which in sociolinguistics perspective, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how multilingual speakers use code mixing as a communicative strategy in informal digital platforms like YouTube.

Optimization of the justification for the establishment of prisoner guidance so far, is based on policies that maintain the types of criminal penalties as regulated in Article 10 of the Criminal Code. Prisoner guidance is one type of sanction in criminal law that is often used as a means to overcome crime problems. The use of prisoner guidance as a means to punish perpetrators of criminal acts began in the late 18th century which was based on the ideology of individualism and the humanitarian movement. Prisoner guidance increasingly plays an important role and shifts the position of the death penalty and corporal punishment which are considered cruel.In general, the image of prison is a very scary place, not getting good food, sleeping on the floor and being bitten by mosquitoes, there is torture and it is very uncomfortable, it is difficult to communicate with the outside world and family, there is no entertainment and suffering and limited in everything. Teguh Prasetyo, explained that prison gives an image to the general public, as a place where criminals are deprived of their freedom and tortured and employed or trained so that they can form good behavior and character after leaving prison. Therefore, the image was changed to prisoner development. The image of prison that gives a scary image to the general public, aims to provide a deterrent element for criminals, so that they become aware and change their evil attitudes and behavior. Based on the background above, the following problem formulation is determined: How to Optimize the Implementation of Prisoner Development in Changing Behavior Towards Inmates?. This research is an empirical legal research, which examines the optimization of the implementation of prisoner guidance in changing the behavior of inmates carried out at the Class III Langkat Youth Penitentiary. The implementation of empirical legal research aims to see the empirical conditions of the optimization of the implementation of prisoner guidance in changing the behavior of inmates at the Class III Langkat Youth Penitentiary, as well as its influence on changes in prisoner behavior.

Fraud in the buying and selling of projects and jobs is becoming more common and is causing unrest in society. The method used by the wrongdoers often involves making false promises and tricking others to gain personal benefits illegally. This study aims to look into how Article 378 of the Criminal Code applies to a fraud case in the buying and selling of projects and jobs in South Lampung, focusing on the Tanjung Karang District Court decision Number 467/PID.B/2023/PN TJK. The study uses a legal method that focuses on laws and specific case studies. Data were collected through literature reviews and examination of relevant court decisions. According to the discussion results, it is clear that the crime of fraud elements, as described in Article 378 of the Criminal Code, are present in this case. The accused was found to have committed deceit and told a series of lies that caused the victim to suffer financial losses. The court ruled that the accused was guilty and gave a sentence that matched the actions taken. The use of Article 378 of the Criminal Code in this case is seen as appropriate, providing protection for the victim and discouraging the offender. The conclusion of this study is that criminal law can effectively address fraud in the buying and selling of projects and jobs if there is strong evidence and proper legal procedures.

This study aims to analyze the application of the legal principle of utility (kemanfaatan hukum) in relation to the inclusion of the phrase Basmallah at the beginning of authentic deeds in Murabahah financing contracts. In notarial practice, it has been found that certain notaries include the phrase “Bismillahirrahmanirrahim” at the beginning of the redaction of Islamic financing deeds. However, the form and structure of authentic deeds are explicitly regulated in Article 38 of the Notary Act (UUJN), which serves as the normative reference for notaries in drafting legally binding deeds. According to Article 1868 of the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata), an authentic deed is a document drafted in a format prescribed by law, created by or before a public official authorized for such matters, and executed at a place designated by law. Therefore, the inclusion of the Basmallah, which is not stipulated in the formal structure of deeds, may pose legal issues as it can be deemed a deviation from formal requirements, potentially undermining the evidentiary strength of the deed. To ensure both the utility and legal certainty of authentic deeds, it is necessary to reaffirm the formal boundaries as outlined in Article 1869 of the Civil Code, so that deeds drawn up by notaries maintain both formal and substantive legal validity. The scope of this study encompasses three main aspects: First, whether the inclusion of the Basmallah at the beginning of a Murabahah financing deed holds legal authenticity; second, to what extent such inclusion aligns with the principle of legal utility.

This normative legal study examines the potential and challenges of implementing restorative justice approaches in cases involving corporate perpetrators within Indonesia's criminal justice system. The research employs statute, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze legal principles, norms, and court decisions related to corporate criminal liability and restorative justice mechanisms. Through comprehensive literature review of international academic databases and examination of Indonesia's legal framework, including the New Criminal Code of 2023 and Prosecutor's Regulation No. 15 of 2020, the study reveals that restorative justice offers a transformative alternative to traditional retributive models by prioritizing restoration, rehabilitation, and reconciliation between corporate offenders, victims, and affected communities. The dual track system selective model emerges as the most appropriate framework for corporate restorative justice implementation, enabling selective application while maintaining prosecutorial discretion for serious offenses. However, significant challenges persist, including the absence of specific regulatory frameworks for corporate actors, structural complexities arising from the non-personified nature of corporate entities, and profound power imbalances between corporations and victims that threaten process integrity. The study demonstrates that successful implementation requires comprehensive legal reforms, enhanced institutional capacity, robust victim support mechanisms, and safeguards against corporate manipulation. The research concludes that while restorative justice holds considerable promise for enhancing corporate accountability and victim restoration, effective implementation is contingent upon establishing clear legal frameworks, technical guidelines, and protective measures that address inherent power asymmetries between corporate offenders and their victims.

The ratification of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) through Law Number 1 of 2023 marks an important milestone in the history of Indonesian criminal law. The new Criminal Code replaces the colonial product that has been in place for more than a century and brings significant updates, especially in the regulation of gender-based crimes such as sexual and psychological violence. The recognition of these forms of violence is a response to the demands of civil society and is part of Indonesia's commitment to international human rights instruments. However, the effectiveness of such arrangements still faces serious challenges, such as the narrowness of the criminal formulation, the high burden of proof, and the potential for gender bias in the criminal justice system. In this context, criminal law should not only be a means of repression, but also carry out preventive and protective functions through holistic criminal policies. An integrative approach that combines penal and non-penal strategies is important to address the complexity of gender-based violence that is structural and multidimensional. This article aims to critically evaluate the provisions of the new Criminal Code related to sexual and psychological violence in the perspective of gender-responsive criminal policy. The evaluation was carried out taking into account the principles of restorative justice, the protection of victims' rights, and the need for social transformation that supports equality and non-discrimination. The results of this study are expected to be an input for the improvement of a criminal law system that is fairer and on the side of victims, especially women and other vulnerable groups.

The enactment of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP) has brought a number of controversies, one of which is related to the revival of provisions regarding the criminal act of insulting the President and Vice President. This article aims to critically examine these provisions in the perspective of the freedom of expression guaranteed by the Indonesian constitution and international human rights instruments. This research uses a normative juridical approach with an analysis of the norms in the new Criminal Code, the 1945 Constitution, as well as international treaties such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The results of the study show that although the provision of insulting the President in the Criminal Code is only referred to as a complaint offense and is framed to protect the dignity of state institutions, the provision still has the potential to limit freedom of opinion excessively. In addition to risking opening a loophole for criminalization of legitimate public criticism, this rule also has the potential to contradict the principles of non-discrimination and accountability of public officials in a democratic country. Therefore, an in-depth evaluation of the formulation of norms and their application is needed so that they do not conflict with the spirit of democracy and the protection of human rights.   Keywords: , , , , .

The development of the digital economy has led to a significant increase in the number of freelance workers in Indonesia. Despite their growing contribution to the economy, their legal status within the national employment system remains normatively ambiguous. This research aims to analyze the normative ambiguity of the status of freelance workers in Indonesian legislation and its juridical implications for their legal protection. The research method used is normative juridical with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results indicate that Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower in conjunction with Law No. 6 of 2023 does not explicitly define or regulate the category of freelance workers. Consequently, their legal relationship is often positioned in a grey area between a "work relationship" of a subordinative nature and a "partnership relationship" of a coordinative nature based on the Indonesian Civil Code. The implications of this ambiguity are significant, encompassing the absence of normative rights such as minimum wage, social security, severance pay, and uncertainty in dispute resolution mechanisms. This study concludes that normative ambiguity creates legal vulnerability for freelancers and recommends regulatory reform to provide legal certainty and adaptive protection for non-standard work models.

So far, the process of recording test results is still carried out manually using paper media. This process poses a number of obstacles, such as delays in recording, potential input errors, and limitations in accuracy and data storage. This condition also has an impact on delays in the submission of test results information to supervisors, who should need fast and accurate data for decision-making. To answer this problem, a web-based application is needed to design a web-based application that is able to digitize the entire workflow of recording and reporting HVAC test results. With a web-based system, data can be managed centrally, more structured, and easily accessible at any time. This application is also equipped with QR Code technology to speed up access to test results. Supervisors and technicians only need to scan the code for complete information, so they no longer rely on manual searches that are time-consuming and prone to serious errors in technical documentation. The design of this application uses the Waterfall method which consists of the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. UML is used as a tool to describe business processes and system activity flows in detail, so that development can be carried out more systematically, efficiently, and in a targeted manner according to applicable software engineering standards. With the implementation of this application, PT Udara jadi Bersih Bekasi is expected to be able to improve operational efficiency, reduce recording errors, and speed up the information distribution process. In the end, this digitalization will support companies in providing services that are more professional, accurate, innovative, reliable, and according to the needs of the modern HVAC industry in the era of global digitalization.

The advancement of digital technology has introduced a novel trend in marketing via social media platforms, specifically through influencers promoting products or services. Nonetheless, numerous endorsements by influencers contain misleading, inaccurate, or harmful claims to consumers. This research aims to analyze the civil liability of influencers for product claims that cause consumer harm in digital media endorsements, referencing Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection. Utilizing a normative juridical method based on literature review of laws, legal doctrines, and pertinent cases, the findings reveal that influencers can be held civilly liable under the tort principle (onrechtmatige daad) as stipulated in Article 1365 of the Civil Code, if proven to provide false or unsupported claims resulting in consumer harm (Setiawan, 2019). Therefore, there is a pressing need to enhance regulations governing the role of influencers in consumer protection frameworks alongside effective liability mechanisms as a form of accountability in the evolving digital marketing landscape.

The practice of manipulating financial statements is considered unethical and often occurs due to various motivations, including pressure to achieve financial targets and maintain the company's reputation. Violations of the professional code of ethics can have a negative impact on society, because members of the profession who do not comply with established rules and values can result in a loss of trust and respect for the profession. The research method used in this research is a literature study, where this research produces descriptive data findings, in the form of words based on the results of observations. The results showed that the company's financial statements lacked integrity and transparency in financial reporting.

This study aims to analyze the accuracy of ICD-9-CM coding in Cathlab procedure claims submitted to BPJS Kesehatan under the INA-CBGs reimbursement system at RSI Aisyiyah Malang. Accurate coding is critical for determining appropriate claim grouping and tariff calculation within Indonesia’s national health insurance scheme. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of 244 Cathlab claims from 2024 with qualitative insights obtained through document review, interviews, and direct observation. The results showed that 182 claims (74.59%) were accepted as accurate and complete, while 62 claims (25.41%) were returned as pending. Common causes of claim inaccuracy included missing supporting documents (37.10%), incorrect ICD-9-CM codes (27.42%), and nonspecific diagnoses (19.35%). Procedural miscoding, such as omitting dual catheterization codes or stent-related procedure codes, was identified as a frequent issue, significantly impacting claim grouping and reimbursement. The study highlights systemic challenges related to documentation quality, coder competency, and institutional claim verification processes. These challenges result in delays, incorrect payments, and administrative inefficiencies, posing barriers to effective reimbursement. The findings underscore the importance of implementing Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) strategies, improving coder training, and transitioning to newer coding systems such as ICD-10 or ICD-11. Upgrading to these systems will support better coding accuracy, enhance claim processing efficiency, and ensure more appropriate reimbursement. Strengthening these components is essential to ensure the integrity of Indonesia’s health financing system, improve operational workflows, and ensure that healthcare providers receive timely and accurate reimbursement for services rendered. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the current state of coding practices in Indonesian healthcare institutions and offers actionable recommendations for improving coding accuracy and claims processing.

The need for development financing in the regions is increasing, while dependence on the APBN/APBD funds cannot meet all those needs. Therefore, the regional government is starting to explore alternative financing cooperation, including with non-government entities (private and international financial institutions). This article aims to examine the role of national civil law as the legal basis for regulating the relationship between the parties in such cooperation schemes. This research uses a normative juridical method with an approach based on legislation and concepts. It is found that national civil law, particularly agreements in the Civil Code and modern contract law, plays a vital role in determining the rights and obligations of the parties, ensuring legal certainty, and preventing disputes in the implementation of non-APBN/APBD funding cooperation. In addition, the flexibility of civil law allows for adaptation to the needs of the region and funding partners. Strengthening the legal capacity of local governments and harmonizing with sectoral regulations are necessary.

This study examines the application of Article 362 jo Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (KUHP) in the Kupang District Court Decision Number 170/Pid.B/2023 against the defendant Sherly Oktaviana Nggeon, who was proven to have committed the crime of repeatedly stealing gold at her workplace, Toko Mas Sahabat. This study aims to assess the accuracy of the application of criminal law norms to concrete facts revealed at the trial and analyze the judge's considerations both from juridical and non-juridical aspects in imposing a verdict. The method used is a normative juridical approach with secondary data sources obtained through literature studies of laws and regulations, doctrines, and court decisions. The results of the study show that although the panel of judges has formally applied Article 362 jo Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code by qualifying the defendant's actions as a continuing act (voortgezette handeling), this approach is not entirely appropriate substantively. The act of theft was carried out in different periods, against different objects, and accompanied by the forgery of a memorandum of sale of elements that can legally be qualified as a separate criminal offense based on Article 263 of the Criminal Code. However, in the judge's decision, this act of forgery was not explicitly considered either as an additional charge or as a burden of punishment. This raises the issue of justice, considering that the merging of all acts into one criminal act reduces the weight of criminal responsibility that the defendant should receive, and does not fully reflect the overall dimension of the crime committed. From a non-juridical aspect, the judge considered the defendant's background, good faith to return the damages, and the social and economic conditions of the defendant in imposing a two-year prison sentence. However, this consideration is considered disproportionate when compared to the amount of loss, the consistency of the evil act, and the existence of counterfeiting which contributes to aggravating the character of the crime. This study emphasizes the importance of a more comprehensive legal approach in qualifying compound crimes (concursus realis), as well as the need for judges to 

The application of the Anti-Dumping Code in international trade law is the topic of discussion in this article. Particular attention is paid to what happens when unfair trade practices are involved. The primary focus is on addressing the issue of price discrimination in international trade, which frequently brings about negative consequences for developing nations like Indonesia. The article provides a description of the phenomenon of dumping, including its impact on domestic producers, as well as anti-dumping rules within the context of the GATT and WTO. This is accomplished through theoretical studies and normative analysis. In addition, it covers the difficulties that arise when putting anti-dumping legislation into effect, as well as the remedies that can be implemented to defend domestic markets from losses that are caused by dumping. The purpose of this article is to highlight the significance of international cooperation and domestic law amendments in order to maximize the effectiveness of the Anti-Dumping Code as an instrument for protecting fair trade.
