This study aims to analyze the influence of personal motivation, popularity, and parental will on the decision of seminarians at Mario John Boen Minor Seminary in responding to the call to become priests. Through surveys and in-depth interviews, it was found that 86.0% of seminarians decided to become priests based on pure personal motivation, driven by a commitment to serve the people of God. Meanwhile, 12.0% of seminarians indicated that their decision to become a priest was influenced by the will of their parents and parish priests.

Reforming policies to simplify residency and citizenship status for foreign investors could make Indonesia a more attractive investment destination, but it might also raise concerns about the impact on the rights of native citizens and national integrity. To manage these effects, Indonesia needs to develop integrated citizenship policies, conduct regular evaluations, enhance transparency, and learn from international practices. With a careful approach, Indonesia can maximize the benefits of FDI while maintaining national interests.

This study seeks to examine the legal vacuum surrounding regional head elections that feature only a single candidate, as well as the legal implications that arise from this scenario. In a democratic system, the principle of popular sovereignty necessitates a fair and free electoral process; however, the absence of clear regulations for regional head elections with a solitary candidate can jeopardize the integrity of this principle.

This study aims to explore the application of blockchain in enhancing server security to mitigate ransomware and malware attacks in critical infrastructures such as healthcare, finance, and government sectors. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, the research collects articles from four major databases (IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink) published between 2020 and 2024. The search focuses on keywords related to blockchain, server security, ransomware, malware, and attack mitigation. The results indicate that blockchain enhances data integrity, transaction security, and strengthens access control to protect sensitive data. Moreover, integrating blockchain with intrusion detection systems (IDS) and using smart contracts accelerates threat detection and response, allowing for automatic blocking and data recovery from attacks. This technology reduces reliance on manual intervention and increases operational efficiency. However, the main challenges in its implementation include high implementation costs, scalability, and technical complexity. Nevertheless, blockchain offers significant solutions for mitigating ransomware and malware attacks while enhancing the reliability and efficiency of systems. In conclusion, blockchain provides an effective solution for server security and cyber threat mitigation, although challenges related to cost and scalability need to be addressed. Further research is required to develop more efficient blockchain protocols and integrate them with other technologies to enhance threat detection and response speed.

. The preservation of static archives in the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama/KUA) plays a crucial role in safeguarding the legal and administrative evidence of marriage for the community. However, many marriage records created between 1978 and 2002 at the Office of Religious Affairs of Medan Labuhan Subdistrict have experienced physical deterioration due to age, storage limitations, and environmental factors. Based on archival observations, out of 51 archival bundles (2,550 records), 76.4% were categorized as damaged, while only 23.5% remained in good condition. This condition highlights the urgency of implementing a systematic digitalization strategy as an effort to preserve static archives and ensure long-term access. This study aims to analyze the implementation of marriage archive digitalization as a preservation strategy and to examine its effectiveness in maintaining the authenticity, integrity, and accessibility of archival records. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, documentation analysis, and field-based data interpretation. The findings indicate that digitalization contributes significantly to minimizing physical handling, preventing further deterioration, improving retrieval efficiency, and strengthening archival security. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, including limited technological infrastructure, lack of standardized procedures, and human resource constraints. The study concludes that digitalization is not merely a technological transition but a strategic preservation effort that requires institutional commitment, proper archival management standards, and sustainable planning. By integrating digital preservation practices into archival governance, the Office of Religious Affairs can enhance the protection of marriage archives as static archives and ensure their continued legal and administrative value for future generations.
