Sexual violence is any act of humiliating, insulting, attacking, and/or other acts against a person's body, sexual desires and/or reproductive function by force. This form of sexual violence can occur in everyday interactions among teenagers, including when they start having relationships with the opposite sex. This can be minimized in various ways, one of which is by providing motivation for teenagers to prevent acts of sexual violence. Motivation given to teenagers can be in the form of learning media, one of which is digital poster media. Digital poster media is more effective as an outreach medium because it helps stimulate the sense of sight, the visual aspect of poster images makes it easier to receive information. The aim of this research is to determine the development of digital poster media in preventing sexual violence against teenagers at Senior High School 5 Surakarta. This research method uses Research and Development (R&D), with the ADDIE model being developed in 5 stages, namely (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The results of this research obtained an assessment of digital poster media from material experts 96%, media experts 67%, small scale trials 83.3%, and field trials 83.83%, so it can be concluded that the media developed is "very feasible" to be used in preventing sexual violence against teenagers at Senior High School 5 Surakarta

This research is motivated by the increasing cases of sexual harassment in the university environment which has a serious impact on the psychological condition of victims and the academic climate as a whole. Universities that are supposed to be safe spaces for learning and development are often places where serious violations of human dignity occur. The establishment of the Task Force for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (Satgas PPKS) is an important step by the government to provide protection, assistance, and a more structured complaint mechanism for victims of sexual violence. This study aims to examine the criminal acts of sexual harassment in universities as well as analyze the role and countermeasures carried out by the PPKS Task Force in handling these cases. The research methods used are normative juridical approaches and empirical juridical approaches. The normative approach is carried out by analyzing relevant laws and regulations, such as the Sexual Violence Crime Law and university regulations related to the prevention of sexual violence. Meanwhile, an empirical approach is carried out through observation and analysis of the implementation of the tasks of the PPKS Task Force in the campus environment. The results of the study show that the PPKS Task Force plays a significant role in providing psychosocial support for victims, conducting socialization related to the prevention of sexual violence, and enforcing anti-sexual violence policies in universities. In addition, the PPKS Task Force also implements various programs such as gender awareness training, legal assistance, and building a complaint system that is more accessible to students. The implications of this study confirm the importance of education and increasing awareness among the academic community regarding the issue of sexual harassment.

This community service program aims to increase the digital capacity and leadership of Indonesian Berkebaya Women (PBI) members through an approach that integrates traditional values with modern technology. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), with the subject of service as many as 13 members of the Banyumas branch of PBI. The activity was carried out in the form of an intensive workshop for three days at the Green Valley Hotel Baturraden, which included three main sessions: Digital Transformation Workshop, Leadership Development, and Content Creation Workshop. The results of the program showed significant achievements, where 80% of participants were able to actively master at least three social media platforms. In addition, 15 quality digital content was created that reflects the organization's cultural identity and values. The digital engagement rate increased from 15% to 50%, demonstrating the effectiveness of training strategies and active participation of participants. As an indicator of the program's sustainability, a Digital Task Force was formed and a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was prepared for the management of the organization's digital media. The theoretical findings of this program show that the integration between cultural values and digital capabilities is not contradictory, but rather mutually reinforcing in forming an organizational identity that is adaptive to changing times. This approach has succeeded in creating a culturally based empowerment model that can be replicated in other communities or organizations with similar characteristics. The emphasis on cultural sensitivity in the design of community service programs is the key to success, especially in the context of inclusive and sustainable digital transformation. This program makes a real contribution to strengthening women's capacity based on cultural communities, as well as opening up space for the development of relevant empowerment strategies in the digital era. Thus, this model can be a reference in designing social interventions that respect local wisdom while encouraging digital innovation.

This research examines the vital role of pesantren education in embedding and sustaining moral values within the broader social context, with a particular focus on Pondok Pesantren Raudlatul Muta’allimin Kudus. As traditional Islamic institutions, pesantren not only function as centers for religious instruction but also act as moral guardians that shape the character, ethics, and social behavior of students and their surrounding communities. In the midst of rapid globalization and shifting cultural dynamics, pesantren face the challenge of preserving the relevance of Islamic values while adapting to contemporary realities. The purpose of this study is to investigate how pesantren education contributes to moral development and to identify strategies utilized to instill Islamic ethics. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research gathered data through interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving kyai, teachers, students, and community members. The findings show that pesantren foster moral growth through structured daily rituals, integration of moral teachings in curriculum, exemplary leadership (uswah), and active community-based programs. These practices build discipline, honesty, empathy, and social responsibility in students, which in turn positively affect the surrounding society. Furthermore, the leadership model demonstrated by kyai and teachers plays a central role in reinforcing values through example, rather than instruction alone. The study concludes that pesantren education continues to serve as a powerful moral force by blending religious instruction with practical community engagement, ensuring that values are not only taught but also lived. This underscores the relevance of pesantren as adaptive agents of moral transformation capable of addressing the ethical challenges of modern Muslim societies. It also highlights that the pesantren framework can serve as a replicable model for strengthening character education in diverse social and cultural contexts, making it both traditional and forward-looking.

However, they also face various challenges, such as limited capital, lack of experience, and intense competition.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a strategic role in national economic development, particularly in rural areas. Their existence not only supports local economic growth but also contributes to cultural preservation. One concrete example is the Balinese kamen embroidery convection industry that is developing in Kates Village, Kauman District, Tulungagung Regency. This industry not only produces products that represent local cultural identity but also serves as a primary source of livelihood for a large portion of the local community. This study aims to examine the role and impact of this embroidery convection industry on improving the economic conditions of the Kates Village community. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a field study method, where data were collected through direct observation techniques, in-depth interviews with village officials, convection business owners, workers, and local residents, as well as documentation related to production activities. The results show that this industry is able to absorb a significant local workforce, both among women and youth, thereby reducing unemployment. Furthermore, community incomes have increased, directly impacting families' living standards. Furthermore, the existence of this industry has also encouraged the growth of new entrepreneurs, both in the convection sector and other supporting sectors such as distribution and marketing. Overall, the Balinese kamen embroidery convection industry in Kates Village has proven to be a local economic force based on culture. Its potential to strengthen the people's economy is enormous, especially if developed in a targeted and sustainable manner through policy support and capacity building of business actors. Therefore, greater attention from the government and other stakeholders is needed to ensure this industry continues to grow and provides long-term positive impacts for the community.

Increasing police accountability and professionalism is critical in addressing abuses of authority within law enforcement institutions. These issues have become a major concern, especially when abuses undermine public trust and the integrity of law enforcement agencies. To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive approach that includes both preventive and repressive measures is necessary. Preventive efforts such as ethics education, professional training, and mental development programs are essential in cultivating a culture of integrity and professionalism within the police force. These initiatives help officers to better understand their responsibilities, adhere to ethical standards, and manage the psychological demands of their roles. On the other hand, repressive efforts, including law enforcement and the imposition of strict sanctions for violations, act as deterrents to unethical behavior. The effective enforcement of laws and policies is critical in holding officers accountable and ensuring that those who abuse their power are appropriately disciplined. Analyzing the implementation of ethics in police duties and the factors that either support or hinder both internal and external supervision is also necessary. By identifying weaknesses in the existing system, law enforcement agencies can better target areas that need reform. Furthermore, strengthening transparency within the police force and reforming the supervision system are crucial steps toward building public trust. Public participation in external supervision mechanisms is also a key factor. When citizens are actively involved in oversight, it fosters a sense of accountability and encourages police officers to act with more responsibility. In conclusion, by adopting an evaluation-based approach and pursuing reforms aimed at enhancing accountability and professionalism, police institutions can improve their effectiveness. These reforms will promote fairer, more transparent, and responsible law enforcement, ultimately leading to greater public confidence in the police and their ability to perform their duties justly.

This study aims to examine the influence of the Gini Ratio, Human Development Index (HDI), and Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) on the open unemployment rate in Lampung Province during the 2019–2023 period. The method used in the analysis is a fixed effect model approach with panel data regression, based on secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Lampung Province. The results of the partial test (t-test) indicate that the three independent variables—the Gini ratio, HDI, and LFPR—do not have a significant effect individually on the open unemployment rate in the region. However, the adjusted coefficient of determination (adjusted R²) value of 88.95% indicates that the model can explain almost all the variation that occurs in the open unemployment rate. This shows that although these variables are statistically insignificant in the model, theoretically they still have an important role in explaining unemployment dynamics in Lampung, along with other factors not yet included in the model. This research provides a strong basis for further analysis in formulating unemployment reduction policies, particularly in regions with economic and social characteristics such as Lampung. Recommendations from this study point to the need for a more comprehensive policy approach that considers other macroeconomic variables such as investment, industrial sector growth, and the quality of education and job training to effectively and sustainably reduce unemployment at the regional level.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the sectors that have an important role in supporting Indonesia's national economy. Its contribution is enormous to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), job creation, and increased innovation, especially in the face of global economic challenges and social inequality. This research aims to examine in depth the role of MSMEs in encouraging Indonesia's economic growth and identify various challenges faced by this sector. The method used in this study is library research, by analyzing various sources of scientific literature, policy reports, and relevant empirical data related to the role of MSMEs. The results of the study show that MSMEs not only contribute to increasing national GDP, but also become the main driving force in providing jobs for the community, especially in rural and suburban areas. In addition, MSMEs are also an important means in the development of local innovation, especially in the use of simple technology that is in accordance with community conditions. However, MSMEs also face a number of serious challenges that can hinder their contribution to economic growth. These challenges include limited access to digital payment systems, low quality of human resources (HR), weak marketing networks, and limited capital and technology. Thus, to increase the role of MSMEs in national economic development, synergy is needed between the government, the private sector, and financial institutions in providing comprehensive and sustainable support. The support includes training on human resource capacity building, access to capital, digital transformation, and strengthening the business ecosystem. This research is expected to contribute to the development of policies that favor the empowerment of MSMEs in Indonesia.

A qualitative method was employed, using data collection techniques such as field observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that Polwan are capable of balancing their professional and familial responsibilities, despite facing challenges such as demanding work schedules, psychological stress, and limited institutional support. To overcome these obstacles, they adopt strategies such as effective time management, maintaining open communication with family members, and seeking moral support from colleagues. Overall, the study shows that policewomen possess strong adaptive capabilities in fulfilling their dual roles and contribute positively to the advancement of women's roles in public institutions. These findings are expected to inform the development of more inclusive and gender-responsive policies within the police force.

This study explores employment development strategies aimed at bolstering economic growth in North Sumatra Province using the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model and an eighteen-year time series dataset. The variables analyzed include the Human Development Index (HDI), total population, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), and Open Unemployment Rate (OUR). The estimation results reveal dynamic interrelationships among these variables over short, medium, and long-term periods. The VAR analysis with a lag of 2 illustrates how each variable contributes to both itself and the other variables. It also shows that past variables (t-1) significantly impact current variables. Furthermore, the response function analysis identifies how a change in one variable is responded to by others across different time horizons. Stability analysis confirms that all variables maintain medium-to-long-term stability over a five-year period. The Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) highlights HDI, population, and GRDP as the most influential variables in shaping the employment system and economic development overall. The VAR model used meets the stability test criteria, making the findings a reliable basis for policy research.

Economic development in Indonesia aims to improve people's living standards and welfare, but challenges such as high poverty rates are still a significant problem, especially in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). This study aims to analyze the economic impact of the closure of the localization of Bong Suwung, which is one of the centers of prostitution in Yogyakarta. Approach to descriptive qualitative research. Data is collected by observation, interview, and documentation techniques, primary and secondary data are integrated in the context of analysis, informance is determined by propulsive sampling. The results of the study show that the closure of localization has a negative impact on people's incomes, including traders, parking attendants, and commercial sex workers (PSK). Many traders lost customers and income, while prostitutes were forced to look for new locations to operate. On the other hand, the closure affects the psychological condition of children from affected families, who have difficulty in continuing their education. This research highlights the importance of a more comprehensive approach in dealing with social and economic problems, as well as the need for support for affected communities to adapt and find alternative sources of livelihood.

Inclusive empowerment is a village development approach that emphasizes the active involvement of vulnerable groups—such as women, the elderly, people with disabilities , and the poor—in all stages of planning through to evaluation. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Village-Owned Enterprises ( BUMDes ) program in Daha Utara District, South Kalimantan, in ensuring participation and accessibility for these groups. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with BUMDes managers and representatives of vulnerable groups. The evaluation was conducted based on William N. Dunn's six policy indicators: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, fairness, responsiveness , and accuracy. The results show that the BUMDes program has had a limited positive impact on increasing the income of vulnerable groups, but their involvement is still limited, both in terms of participation and physical access. The main challenges include the lack of disability- friendly infrastructure , minimal capacity training, and community resistance due to low program transparency. On the other hand, local cultural support such as mutual cooperation, involvement of traditional leaders, and partnerships with the village government are important supporting factors. This study recommends increasing human resource capacity, strengthening inclusive infrastructure, socialization based on local wisdom, and adaptive digitalization to expand access. With strategic intervention, BUMDes is expected to be able to transform into a driving force for fair, participatory and sustainable village development.

Inclusive village development is a strategic priority in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with Village-Owned Enterprises ( BUMDes ) as the driving force of the local economy. However, the participation of vulnerable groups—such as people with disabilities , the elderly, women, and the poor—is still limited in BUMDes services . This study aims to evaluate the quality of BUMDes services in Daha Utara District through the SERVQUAL (Service Quality) approach which includes five dimensions: tangibles , reliability , responsiveness , assurance , and empathy . The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach . Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three categories of participants: BUMDes managers , vulnerable groups, and community leaders. The results of the study indicate that physical facilities ( tangibles ) are not inclusive, service reliability is disrupted by limited human resources, and the assurance dimension has not been supported by ongoing training. Meanwhile, the responsiveness and empathy dimensions are relatively good interpersonally , but are not yet structured institutionally. The main obstacles identified are the lack of budget, lack of training, and the absence of a formal complaint mechanism. On the other hand, moral support from village managers and figures is a supporting factor for service transformation. This study concludes that improving the quality of inclusive services requires a transformative and participatory approach , including adaptive digitalization and active involvement of vulnerable groups in planning. These findings are expected to be the basis for making fairer and more responsive village development policies.

The problem faced by PT. Dinda Holding Company (DHC) is that it has difficulty in determining the best employees from a number of employees with varying performance qualities. Until now, the selection process has been carried out manually, taking into account the subjective assessments of the owner or store manager, without a structured evaluation system. As a result, employee selection tends to be inconsistent and leads to dissatisfaction among both employees and the business owner. Additionally, selected employees do not always demonstrate optimal performance, which impacts service quality and the operational sustainability of the store. Therefore, a decision support system was designed to assist PT. Dinda Holding Company (DHC) in selecting the best employees objectively, quickly, and accurately. Employees are human resources used as a driving force in the business operations of a company. The company faces the challenge of maintaining its competitive edge, which requires data on the performance of employees with good performance. This system applies the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to perform calculations and evaluations based on predetermined criteria. The result of this system development is a desktop-based application using the Java programming language and a MySQL database, which is expected to assist management in making more measurable and structured decisions.

The rapid advancement of technology has significantly transformed the way individuals communicate, particularly through social media platforms. These platforms, often referred to as part of cyberspace, have facilitated seamless and widespread interpersonal interaction. Social media has become a space where various forms of social activity are displayed, including the phenomenon of self-presentation or "showing off. This study employs Social Penetration Theory, which elucidates the process through which interpersonal relationships evolve from superficial exchanges to deeper, more intimate levels of communication. Central to this theory is the concept of self-disclosure, which is considered a driving force in the development of personal relationships. A qualitative research methodology was adopted, utilizing a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore lived experiences and the subjective meanings behind them. Data were collected through a combination of observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the progression of relational depth among individuals on social media is significantly influenced by the degree of self-disclosure. One notable phenomenon observed is the use of secondary Instagram accounts (often referred to as "second accounts" or "finstas"), which serve as private spaces where users feel more comfortable engaging in authentic self-expression and disclosure.

Science continues to advance over time. This development has led to the birth of various new technologies that mark the progress of the times.
