Gender identity is part of human existence in society. In Indonesia, the diversity of gender identities other than male and female, such as waria (male and female), often causes social and cultural debates. Waria are a group that are biologically born as men but express themselves as women, both in appearance and behavior. The acceptance of waria in society is not uniform. On the one hand, some people show a tolerant attitude, especially in urban areas that are more open to diversity. On the other hand, negative stigmas against waria are still widely found, which are affected by their limited access to education, work, health services, and public spaces in general. This study uses a qualitative research type. The subjects of this study are waria in Jember City. In this study, researchers use qualitative methods in collecting data by conducting direct observations to obtain data by writing, recording and explaining what is happening to get the right information. In this study, the phenomenological method was also used by searching for data through face-to-face interviews with informants and meeting the agreed informants.

Mass media plays a crucial role in shaping public perceptions of various groups, including Muslims. This study examines how Muslims are represented in the media and its impact on national identity. The research employs a literature review method with content analysis from academic journals, books, and news reports. The findings show that Muslim representation in the media varies, often exhibiting biases that influence public perception. In politics, Muslims are frequently associated with extremism, particularly in Western media. In social and cultural aspects, negative stereotypes persist despite some media highlighting positive Muslim contributions. These representations impact national identity, either strengthening or weakening individuals' sense of belonging to their country and their access to citizenship rights. Therefore, more objective and balanced journalism practices are needed to support the creation of an inclusive and harmonious society.

It is hoped that the e-Court application can meet the global community's needs to face legal challenges in the digital era.

Warehouse Receipt is an alternative financing instrument that enables farmers and agribusiness actors to access capital by using stored commodities in licensed warehouses as collateral. This mechanism not only addresses the limited access to financing in the agricultural sector but also functions as a risk mitigation tool against commodity price fluctuations. In Indonesia, the implementation of the Warehouse Receipt System is legally regulated and supported by institutions such as the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti) and PT Kliring Berjangka Indonesia. However, its effectiveness still faces several challenges, including low financial literacy among farmers, limited warehouse infrastructure, and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. Therefore, policy strengthening, increased public awareness, and digital system development are essential to optimize the role of Warehouse Receipts in enhancing the agricultural sector and maintaining commodity price stability.

Bali Province has a high population density, which has the potential to affect the distribution of infectious diseases such as diarrhea. However, mapping the distribution of diarrhea cases based on population density is still limited and does not meet good cartographic principles. Therefore, this study aims to present data on the distribution of diarrhea cases based on population density in Bali Province during the 2020-2022 period. This study used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. The data used were secondary data from the Bali Province Health Profile and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for 2020-2022. Data analysis was carried out using geographic mapping with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical tests in the form of multiple linear regression and Spearman correlation. The results showed an increase in the strength of the relationship between population density and the number of diarrhea cases, as indicated by the rho value which increased from 0.1833 in 2020 to 0.6000 in 2022. However, this relationship was not statistically significant (p-value > 0.05), indicating that population density is not the only factor contributing to the increase in diarrhea cases. Other factors such as sanitation, access to clean water, and public awareness in maintaining hygiene also play a role in the spread of this disease. Although there is a trend that an increase in population density in Bali goes hand in hand with an increase in diarrhea cases, this relationship is not statistically strong enough. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to address diarrhea cases, including improved sanitation facilities, public health education, as well as strengthening the spatial data-based disease monitoring system.

Knee osteoarthritis is a global health issue with increasing prevalence, particularly among the elderly population. This condition is characterized by primary symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, and reduced physical function, which significantly limit the patient's daily activities. One promising non-pharmacological approach to managing knee osteoarthritis is Home-Based Resistance Training (HBRT). HBRT combines the effectiveness of resistance training with the convenience of being performed at home and is increasingly supported by advancements in telerehabilitation technology. This study is a systematic review conducted based on the PRISMA-P guidelines, with literature searches from PubMed, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases. The included articles were English-language publications from 2019 to 2024 that evaluated the effectiveness of HBRT in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The findings indicate that HBRT is significantly effective in reducing joint pain, with a decrease in WOMAC scores ranging from 24.78% to 29.64% (p < 0.001), and improving physical function by 21.54% to 30.2%. These improvements meet the Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) criteria, indicating clinically significant benefits. Furthermore, the effectiveness of HBRT is comparable to machine-based training, particularly in patients with high baseline severity. With standardized exercise protocols and adequate technological support, HBRT can be considered a feasible and effective intervention strategy in the rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis patients, especially in the digital era and in contexts where access to conventional healthcare facilities is limited.

With the rapid advancement of technology, the world is increasingly shifting toward the digital era, influencing various aspects of life, including the field of Public Relations (PR). Traditional PR activities that previously relied on print media, radio, or television broadcasts are now experiencing a decline in effectiveness. In response to this shift, organizations and companies are transitioning their communication strategies to digital platforms, one of which is through digital campaigns. Digital campaigns have emerged as a modern form of PR activity that leverages the power of social media to reach a wider, interactive, and more segmented audience. The success of a digital campaign is largely determined by the media used. Currently, Instagram stands out as one of the most popular social media platforms, especially among younger generations, due to its ability to present engaging and easily accessible visual content.Bank Mandiri, as one of the largest banks in Indonesia, is taking advantage of this digital trend by launching digital campaigns through its official Instagram account. This strategy aims to strengthen brand image, increase audience engagement, and expand the company’s communication reach. By utilizing interactive features such as Instagram Stories, Reels, and Live, Bank Mandiri is able to establish more effective two-way communication with its audience. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Bank Mandiri’s digital campaign on Instagram and its impact on audience perception and engagement. The results of this analysis are expected to contribute to the development of more adaptive digital PR strategies in the current era of digital transformation.

Digital bureaucratic transformation has become a crucial component of public administration reform in Indonesia through the utilization of technology to enhance public services. This study examines the implementation of the M-Paspor application as one of the strategic policy innovations in the immigration sector. The application was developed as a solution to problems found in the conventional service system. M-Paspor simplifies the passport application procedures, increases bureaucratic effectiveness and efficiency, and strengthens accountability in public service delivery. The presence of M-Paspor has brought significant changes to the structure and work system within the Directorate General of Immigration. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, including unequal digital access, limited infrastructure, low digital literacy among civil servants, and resistance to changes in bureaucratic work culture. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, with sources selected using search strings tailored to the research objectives. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for further discussions regarding the benefits, challenges, and sustainability of M-Paspor in supporting the broader digitalization of public service programs in Indonesia.

The provision of friendly facilities for people with disabilities is one form of government concern in creating social inclusion and equal access for all levels of society. In this context, the National Land Agency (BPN) plays an important role in ensuring that public facilities provided can be accessed by all individuals, including people with disabilities. This study aims to analyze how BPN provides disability-friendly facilities at the regional office located on Jalan STM, Sitirejo, Medan Amplas District, Medan City, North Sumatra. This study uses a qualitative approach with an in-depth case study method, where data is obtained through interviews, direct observation, and documentation studies related to the provision of facilities for people with disabilities at the BPN. The results of the study indicate that despite efforts by the BPN to provide facilities that are friendly to people with disabilities, there are still a number of obstacles that need to be fixed, such as the lack of supporting facilities such as disabled lanes, and information on service procedures that are not fully disability-friendly. From this study, it is recommended that the BPN can improve infrastructure and services for people with disabilities by paying attention to applicable standards, and conduct wider socialization related to accessibility rights for people with disabilities, in order to realize more inclusive public services.

This study aims to analyze the legal aspects of public information disputes in the context of state administration, focusing on the Decision of the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) Number 410/G/KI/2024/PTUN.JKT. A public information dispute is a dispute between a public agency and an information applicant regarding the right to obtain and use public information based on laws and regulations. In the era of globalization and the development of information technology, access to public information is one of the important pillars in realizing transparent and accountable governance. In Indonesia, the right to public information is guaranteed by Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information (UU KIP). However, in practice, disputes often occur between public agencies and the public regarding the fulfillment of the right to information. The Decision of the Jakarta PTUN Number 410/G/KI/2024/PTUN.JKT is an important case study because it reflects the dynamics of law in resolving public information disputes at the state administration level. This study uses a normative legal approach with a case study method. Data were obtained from the analysis of PTUN Jakarta decisions and related legal documents. The results of the study show that public information disputes often occur due to unclear boundaries between information that can be accessed by the public and that which must be protected. The Jakarta PTUN decision emphasizes the importance of consistency in the application of the Consequence Test Sheet and emphasizes that information related to public services must be open to public access. This study contributes to understanding the legal complexity behind public information disputes and provides recommendations for improving the dispute resolution system in the future. In addition, this study also reminds us of the importance of a balance between public information transparency and personal data protection, especially in the context of state administration.

The development of the Toba Caldera Geopark as a national priority tourism destination is part of the government’s efforts to drive regional economic growth, improve community welfare, and strengthen Indonesia’s position in sustainable tourism. However, its implementation presents significant challenges in balancing economic development, environmental sustainability, and social justice, particularly for indigenous communities around the area. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Toba Caldera Geopark development policy on the environment and local indigenous communities. A multidisciplinary approach was employed, combining qualitative methods through in-depth interviews and participatory observations, along with quantitative data from surveys and official secondary sources. The results indicate potential conflicts between tourism infrastructure development and nature conservation, including environmental degradation and the erosion of local cultural values. Additionally, there is a risk of marginalization of indigenous communities in terms of access to natural resources and their involvement in decision-making processes. Therefore, this study recommends the need for more inclusive and sustainable policies that place indigenous communities at the center of geopark management. Active participation of local communities, recognition of customary land rights, and development approaches based on local wisdom are essential to achieving equitable, sustainable, and environmentally responsible development of the Toba Caldera Geopark.

This study aims to examine the practice of money politics that occurred in the 2024 Legislative Election in Alor Regency and its impact on the quality of democracy in the region. Money politics is a highly relevant issue because it has the potential to undermine the basic principles of democracy, reduce electoral integrity, and create inequities in political representation. This practice generally involves giving money or goods to voters with the aim of influencing their political choices, which of course reduces the quality of public political participation. A qualitative approach was used in this study, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews with various parties involved in the election process, direct field observations, and a review of documents relevant to the elections in Alor Regency. This technique allows for more in-depth data collection and provides a better understanding of how money politics occurs at the local level. The results show that the practice of money politics still frequently occurs in the lead-up to election day, both in the form of giving cash and goods to voters. This phenomenon indicates a decline in the quality of public political participation, where political choices are more influenced by material rewards than by considering the competence of legislative candidates. This indicates a disorientation in the democratic process, where voters focus more on immediate gains than on the capacity and integrity of candidates. The impact of this money politics practice is significant for local democracy. The decline in public trust in the political process exacerbates the dependency between voters and political elites, which in turn leads to inequality in political access and representation. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening political education for the public and stricter law enforcement against perpetrators of money politics to improve the quality of democracy in Alor Regency.
