This article examines the juridical aspects of online loans (pinjol) as an alternative method for Indonesian students to pay tuition fees (SPP and UKT), with a focus on the partnership between universities and fintech institutions like Danacita. Using normative legal methods and literature analysis, the study finds that while online lending platforms are legally regulated under POJK No. 77/POJK.01/2016, there are still gaps in legal protection for students as consumers. The lack of targeted consumer protection, transparency, and financial literacy raises serious risks of over-indebtedness and academic dropout. This paper calls for more stringent government oversight, improved regulatory enforcement by OJK, and the development of accessible, fair educational financing alternatives.

Online media play a significant role in shaping public perception through framing processes, particularly on sensitive social issues such as protests. This study aims to analyze and compare how two Indonesian online news platforms, Kompas.com and Indozone.id, framed the student protest at Dongduk Women’s University in South Korea. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing model, which includes four elements: defining problems, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments, and suggesting remedies. The data were derived from two news articles published in November 2024. The findings reveal that Kompas.com applied a more critical and comprehensive framing approach, emphasizing social context, historical cases of sexual harassment, and the importance of safe spaces for women. In contrast, Indozone.id focused on the virality aspect, providing minimal analysis and omitting moral and solution-oriented framing. These differences reflect the editorial orientation of each platform and highlight the need for media literacy in an era dominated by algorithm-driven journalism. The study underscores how media framing influences public understanding of gender justice and women's education issues.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of online attendance systems in enhancing employee discipline at the Bali Province Regional Revenue Agency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using George C. Edward III’s implementation theory, which encompasses four key indicators: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure.

The increasing trend in skincare usage, particularly whitening products, has led many business actors to market their products extensively without regard for legal compliance. One notable issue is the circulation of blue-label skincare products, which should only be provided with a doctor's prescription. The research employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews and literature study. The findings reveal that legal protection for consumers in the use of blue-label skincare products remains suboptimal. These products often contain active ingredients such as corticosteroids or antibiotics, which should only be used under a doctor's prescription and supervision. However, in practice, many business actors continue to sell them freely via online marketplaces and social media platforms. This not only violates BPOM regulations and health laws but also poses a direct threat to consumer safety. Furthermore, business accountability is still lacking, as evidenced by the insufficient transparency regarding product content, usage instructions, and distribution permits.

Academic advisors play a strategic role in supporting students' academic success and personal development. Unfortunately, this role has not been fully optimized due to limited communication tools, restricted meeting times, and the absence of an integrated mentoring system. Through this Community Service Program, efforts were made to enhance the role of academic advisors by utilizing Microsoft Teams as a medium for communication and academic counseling. The program focused on first-semester students from a study program at Politeknik Negeri Batam.

In addition, there was a positive shift in communication patterns and a collective awareness of the importance of academic support networks. These findings indicate that a digital approach to academic mentoring is an effective, flexible, and sustainable strategy for building an active and supportive learning community.

This study examines the contribution of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) actors in supporting community economic empowerment through their strategic role in strengthening tourist attractions in two destinations in East Java, namely religious tourism of Cheng Hoo Mosque Pasuruan and natural educational tourism of Jati Sewu Gresik. This research is based on the reality of tourist destinations that are the target of the study, where the role of MSMEs in both areas reflects a significant role in strengthening tourist attractions in destinations for visitors.

Trade activities carried out by MSME players around the tourist area directly create new economic opportunities while increasing community participation in tourism dynamics. In addition, MSMEs also create a more authentic, communicative, and inclusive travel experience for tourists.

Asessing how well digital platforms work to improve student achievement is becoming increasingly important as these technologies become more widely adopted in the education sector. This study examines the contribution of Microsoft OneDrive in social studies learning at the secondary school level, with an emphasis on its potential to support learning flexibility, strengthen collaboration between students, and encourage learning autonomy. The lack of studies that specifically review the benefits of OneDrive in the context of the Indonesian education system, especially in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, is a significant problem identified in this study.

OneDrive also facilitates the synchronization of online learning methods with curriculum objectives. However, obstacles still exist, such as the lack of supporting facilities and educators' low digital skills. Overall, OneDrive is considered an instrumental tool in transforming social studies learning to a more responsive, efficient and student-oriented digital structure.

This Community Service Program (PKM) was implemented in response to the high usage of social media among students, particularly Instagram, which often becomes a platform for cyberbullying. This phenomenon becomes increasingly complex when students come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Comments or posts considered normal in one culture may be perceived as offensive in another. A lack of cultural sensitivity often triggers digital conflict and bullying, which can negatively impact students' mental health. This PKM aims to improve students’ understanding of the dangers of cyberbullying and the importance of cross-cultural communication ethics. The program began with a pre-test to assess participants' initial knowledge, followed by an interactive seminar discussing the concepts of cyberbullying, digital ethics, and real-life case studies. Students then engaged in group discussions and simulations, where they analyzed problematic digital content and formulated empathetic, constructive responses. At the end of the activity, a post-test was conducted to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ awareness and attitudes. This program successfully encouraged students to be more thoughtful and responsible in their online interactions and to become change agents in creating a safer, more inclusive digital environment. The outcomes of this program include a scholarly publication, an educational video disseminated on social media, and quantitative data showing an increase in participants’ knowledge. Overall, this initiative contributes to strengthening multicultural digital literacy among today’s youth.
