This study to analyze factors influencing taxpayer compliance in paying Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) in Sragen Regency. Tax compliance is a crucial issue in state revenue, and understanding the factors that influence it is crucial for designing effective tax policies. The independent variables studied are taxpayer awareness, tax socialization, and the tax system, with PBB-P2 taxpayer compliance as the dependent variable. Data were collected from taxpayers in Sragen Regency and analyzed using multiple linear regression methods.   The results of the regression test indicate that not all hypothesized factors have a significant influence on tax compliance. Partially, the variables of taxpayer awareness and the tax system were shown to have a positive and significant influence on compliance with PBB-P2 payments. This indicates that the higher the taxpayer awareness and the better the tax system implemented, the higher the level of taxpayer compliance. Conversely, the variable of tax socialization was found to have no significant effect on taxpayer compliance. This finding suggests that the existing socialization program may not be effective or needs to be re-evaluated to achieve a more tangible impact.   Based on these findings, this study recommends that the local government and tax authorities in Sragen Regency focus more on increasing taxpayer awareness and continuously improving the tax system. Although the socialization program was not statistically significant, it is recommended to review the socialization strategy to make it more targeted and relevant to taxpayer needs. This is expected to improve taxpayer compliance with PBB-P2, which will ultimately have a positive impact on regional revenue.

This study aims to analyze cryptocurrency investments and the risks faced by beginner investors who own digital assets such as Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and other coins that have been increasing in value over the past few years, especially among the general public and retail investors. Not only retail investors, but governments also now hold digital assets, as has already happened. However, the unstable price and lack of global legal oversight make investing in cryptocurrency highly risky, especially for those with less knowledge and experience. The methods used in this study include literature review, descriptive analysis of historical price data for cryptocurrency, case studies, and interviews with several beginner investors. The findings show that cryptocurrency can generate large profits in a short time, but the risk of losing capital is also very high. Therefore, having a good understanding of blockchain technology, risk management, and investment psychology before starting to invest is important. This study is hoped to serve as a reference for beginner investors when considering decisions to invest in cryptocurrency.

This community service aims to implement recycling activities for children as an educational strategy to foster environmental awareness from an early age. In the context of increasing environmental challenges, environmental education is an urgent need to shape a caring and responsible character for environmental sustainability. The method used is participatory learning with direct practice of recycling waste that actively involves children, accompanied by education on waste management, sorting, and the reuse of used materials into useful products. This approach uses observation, and documentation as data collection techniques to evaluate children's understanding and behavior.

The digital era has transformed communication patterns among millennials and Gen Z in Indonesia. This study analyzes the phenomenon of code-mixing and code-switching on social media among students at STIE Balikpapan as representatives of the digital generation in a multiethnic environment. Employing a qualitative method with a virtual ethnography approach, data were collected through six months of virtual participant observation and systematic digital documentation across multiple social media platforms. The findings reveal that code-mixing predominantly occurs in intra-sentential and intra-lexical forms, while code-switching takes inter-sentential forms according to communication contexts. The primary factors driving mixed language use are social identity, communication efficiency, and audience adaptation. Balikpapan's multiethnic context enriches these practices through interactions among Indonesian, regional languages, and English. These findings contribute to the field of digital sociolinguistics and serve as a reference for language learning in higher education institutions and the development of Indonesian language policies.  

This academic paper provides a comprehensive analysis of mixed marriages and the legal status of children within the context of Indonesian International Private Law. The study meticulously explores the formal definition of a mixed marriage, establishing it as a legal union between individuals of different citizenships, thereby subject to intersecting national legal systems. The research delves into the specific regulatory framework governing Mixed Marriages in Indonesia, with a critical examination of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and its implementing regulations. A significant portion of the analysis is dedicated to the intricate legal aspects concerning the child's status in a mixed marriage. This encompasses a detailed discussion on the child's citizenship, governed by the principle of ius sanguinis under Law No. 12 of 2006 on Citizenship, which creates potential for dual citizenship and subsequent legal complexities. The paper further investigates the fundamental rights and obligations of the child, affirming that these must be upheld irrespective of parental nationality, including the inalienable right to a legal identity, parental care, and formal education. Concurrently, the research outlines the concomitant parental obligations in a mixed marriage, which are paramount and include the provision of nurture, guidance, and comprehensive protection for the child's well-being. The study concludes with a critical evaluation of the practical implementation of these mixed marriage law aspects in Indonesia, identifying discernible gaps between statutory provisions and their real-world application. It underscores persistent challenges in juridical practice and administrative consistency, ultimately highlighting the ongoing pursuit of complete legal certainty for binational families navigating the Indonesian legal landscape.

This research is motivated by the low quality of learning in various educational units, one of the causes of which is the gap between curriculum design and classroom implementation. A good curriculum will not have a significant impact without effective implementation by teachers. Therefore, curriculum implementation plays a strategic role as a link between macro-level education policies and classroom learning practices. This study aims to analyze the impact of curriculum implementation on learning quality, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate strategies to strengthen learning quality. The method used is descriptive qualitative, using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques with teachers, principals, and elementary school students. The results show that the implementation of a flexible curriculum, such as the Independent Curriculum, encourages a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, which increases student motivation and engagement through project-based learning and authentic assessment. However, teacher preparedness, limited infrastructure, and administrative burdens remain major obstacles. Authentic assessment has been shown to improve students' critical thinking skills and creativity, but requires consistent managerial support. The implication is that improving the quality of learning must be accompanied by strengthening teacher competency, the availability of resources, and adaptive school management so that curriculum transformation has a real impact on the quality of national education
