This study aims to analyze the influence of advertising, trust, and discounts on purchasing decisions among Shopee app users, focusing on students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Slamet Riyadi University, Surakarta as respondents. The background of this study departs from the increasing competition in e-commerce in Indonesia, which requires each platform to develop appropriate marketing strategies to attract consumers' attention and build their loyalty. The research method used was a quantitative survey involving 100 respondents selected through a convenience sampling technique, allowing researchers to quickly obtain data from relevant target groups. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression methods to test the proposed hypotheses. The results showed that consumer trust in the Shopee app has a significant influence on purchasing decisions, meaning that the higher the level of trust, the more likely consumers are to make purchases through the app. In addition, the discount factor was also proven to have a significant influence on purchasing decisions, indicating that price cuts are still an effective strategy in influencing consumer behavior, especially students. Conversely, the advertising variable did not show a significant influence on purchasing decisions, which could mean that the intensity or quality of advertising is not strong enough to drive purchasing decisions in this respondent segment. The findings of this study provide practical contributions for Shopee in designing more targeted marketing strategies, emphasizing the importance of building and maintaining consumer trust, as well as utilizing proven effective promotional strategies such as discounts. Therefore, this study not only enriches the literature on consumer behavior in the e-commerce context but also offers useful recommendations for digital business practitioners in increasing competitiveness.

Public communication plays a crucial role in delivering targeted transportation information and building a positive image of government institutions in the eyes of the public. One concrete implementation of effective public communication is the Edutrip program, an educational initiative from Surakarta's Tirtonadi Terminal designed to improve public transportation literacy, particularly among students and teachers. This program is not merely an educational visit, but also a strategic tool for Tirtonadi Terminal Public Relations to introduce the terminal's function as a modern and integrated transportation service center. This study aims to analyze the public communication strategies implemented by Tirtonadi Terminal Public Relations in implementing Edutrip, with a primary focus on their interactions with students and teachers as participants. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the results show that Tirtonadi Terminal Public Relations predominantly applies the Public Information model from Grunig and Hunt (1984), namely by conveying one-way information that is educational and factual. However, in practice, elements of the Two-Way Symmetrical model were also found, particularly through question and answer sessions, discussions, and gathering feedback from participants which were then used as evaluation material for future program improvements. In contrast, the Press Agentry and Two-Way Asymmetrical models did not appear dominant, given that the approach used did not focus on excessive promotion or information manipulation, but rather on objective and dialogical education. This adaptive and responsive communication strategy not only increased participants' understanding of public transportation but also helped shape the positive image of Tirtonadi Terminal as a transparent, professional, and educational public institution. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting an appropriate and contextual communication model in building constructive relationships between public institutions and the community.

An auction is an open sales mechanism that provides the public with the opportunity to acquire goods or assets through the highest bid. This process begins with an official announcement and is carried out transparently. In line with the development of information technology and efforts to modernize public services, the Indonesian government issued Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 122 of 2023 concerning Auction Implementation Guidelines. This regulation aims to update and simplify the auction process with a digital approach to make it more effective, efficient, and reach the wider community. This study aims to analyze the implementation of PMK 122/2023 at the Surakarta State Assets and Auction Service Office (KPKNL) and identify obstacles encountered in its implementation. The research method used is a juridical-empirical with a qualitative approach, where primary data was obtained through interviews with auction officials and related staff at the Surakarta KPKNL, while secondary data was collected from regulations, official documents, and legal literature. The research results show that the implementation of PMK 122/2023 has had a positive impact on improving the quality of auction services through digitalization, such as the implementation of an e-Auction system, the provision of e-Auction Corner facilities, and the use of other information technology to facilitate public access. Based on Soerjono Soekanto's theory of legal implementation, the success of policy implementation is influenced by factors such as legal substance, law enforcement officers, and the legal culture of the community. The Surakarta KPKNL (National Public Service Agency) is considered successful in increasing efficiency, accountability, and service satisfaction to the community. However, obstacles remain in its implementation, such as disputes over ownership of auction objects, resistance to occupants' evictions, and technical and administrative challenges in using online systems. This research recommends the need for inter-agency synergy, strengthening complementary regulations, and public education to support the smooth and sustainable implementation of digital-based auctions.

WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging platforms, offering fast and simple communication. Among its active users are students from Islamic boarding schools (santri), including those involved in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, despite its convenience, many users lack awareness regarding digital safety and privacy, exposing them to cyber risks such as phishing, scams, and identity theft. In Nusukan, Surakarta, this issue is particularly relevant for santri who rely on WhatsApp for both academic and business communication. This community service initiative was conducted at Al-Mukminun Islamic Boarding School in Nusukan, Surakarta, with the aim of increasing awareness and understanding of safe WhatsApp usage among MSME santri. The program consisted of counseling sessions, which included lectures and interactive discussions tailored to the participants’ needs. Key topics included how to adjust privacy settings, identify suspicious links and messages, protect personal data, and recognize common cyber threats. Participants responded positively to the training. Feedback showed that 80% of them reported they would avoid clicking unknown links in messages. Another 80% stated they would refrain from sharing personal information with strangers. Furthermore, 80% expressed their commitment to regularly updating the WhatsApp application to ensure optimal security features are in place. This program successfully raised awareness and empowered santri with essential knowledge about digital communication safety. It highlights the importance of integrating communication psychology and practical digital literacy into community education to support secure online behavior for young entrepreneurs. Overall, this training shows that a contextual and applicable communication psychology approach is very effective in forming positive digital awareness and behavior in religious-based communities such as MSME students.

The misuse of personal data in financial technology (fintech) services, particularly in peer-to-peer lending practices, is showing a worrying upward trend and is an urgent legal issue that requires addressing. Article 32 of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (UU ITE) serves as a primary legal basis for protecting electronic data. However, the effective implementation of this article in the context of fintech services still faces various challenges. This study employed an empirical legal approach with a combination of literature study and interviews. Interviews were conducted at the Surakarta Financial Services Authority (OJK) Office and with a number of fintech service users as respondents. The results showed that approximately 70% of personal data misuse cases originated from illegal online lending services. The most frequently reported violations included unauthorized use of data (40%), access to contacts and galleries on personal devices (35%), and threats of personal data dissemination (25%). The main obstacles in implementing Article 32 of the ITE Law include the difficulty of tracking perpetrators' jurisdiction, technical limitations in digital forensics, and low public legal literacy. Therefore, policy integration with Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) provisions in POJK No. 77/POJK.01/2016 is necessary. This study recommends strengthening regulations, establishing an independent supervisory authority, increasing public education, and utilizing digital technology to promote more effective personal data protection in the Indonesian fintech ecosystem.

This study is motivated by the ongoing digital transformation across various fields, including audit practices. The advancement of information technology has encouraged the adoption of various innovations, one of which is remote auditing, which allows audits to be conducted without direct face-to-face interaction with clients. At the same time, maintaining audit quality has become increasingly complex, requiring auditors to demonstrate a high level of professionalism, particularly in terms of professional skepticism. Auditor professionalism—including critical thinking skills, objectivity, and integrity—plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality audit outcomes. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of remote auditing and professional skepticism on audit quality in external audit firms located in the Surakarta area. This research uses a quantitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to external auditors selected using purposive sampling, focusing on those with experience in conducting remote audits. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each independent variable on audit quality. The results indicate that, partially, professional skepticism has a significant effect on audit quality. This finding suggests that the higher an auditor's level of professional skepticism, the better the quality of the audit produced. In contrast, remote auditing does not show a significant partial influence on audit quality. However, when analyzed simultaneously, both variables—remote auditing and professional skepticism—have a significant effect on audit quality. In other words, while the use of audit technology is important, human factors remain the primary determinant of audit effectiveness. The implications of this study encourage audit firms not only to invest in digital audit systems but also to place greater emphasis on enhancing the competence and professionalism of auditors.
