Sexual violence against children is a highly complex issue with profound negative impacts on both the victims and their social environment. Children with disabilities, particularly those with Down Syndrome, are among the most vulnerable to such abuse due to their physical and cognitive limitations. Given this context, the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Child Protection Agency (LPA) becomes crucial. LPA plays a vital role in providing support, advocacy, and assistance to child victims of sexual violence, especially those with disabilities. This study aims to examine the protective role of LPA in assisting children with Down Syndrome who have become victims of sexual violence in Deli Serdang Regency. Using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, the research explores and interprets the lived experiences of informants involved in the cases. The study also highlights the implementation of the four child protection principles as applied by the LPA. The findings show that LPA fulfills its protective role by providing legal assistance, psychosocial support, and ensuring the safety of the victims. The organization successfully implemented the four child protection principles, resulting in a 12-year prison sentence for the perpetrator and justice for the victim. The study recommends increasing LPA staff capacity to enhance the quality of services provided.

A decline in performance in automatic motorcycles that have been used for a long time is a common problem caused by wear and tear on the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system. This condition results in a reduction in the clamping force of the V-belt on the pulley, causing slippage and a decrease in transmission capacity. Based on the manufacturer's specifications, the torque is 8.32 Nm at 5500 rpm, while the test results show a torque of 7.41 Nm at 6500 rpm, a decrease of 10.9%. The study aims to analyze the effect of variations in pulley angle and surface roughness on the torque value of a 108 cm³ automatic motorcycle as a method to restore transmission performance without replacing the main components. The pulley angles tested were 14°, 13.8°, and 13.5°, while the surface roughness was varied based on the turning process with cutting inserts having nose radii of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.8 mm. The testing was conducted using a dynamometer at an engine speed range of 6000 – 9000 rpm. The results showed that the combination of a 13.8° pulley angle with a 0.2 mm cutting insert nose radius produced a torque of 7.41 Nm at 6500 rpm, an increase of 8.2% compared to the standard 14.5° configuration, which only produced 6.85 Nm. Modifying the pulley angle and surface roughness was proven to increase the V-belt clamping force, thereby improving transmission performance.

Child exploitation is a serious issue that threatens the fulfillment of children's fundamental rights and impacts their physical, psychological, and social development. This study aims to analyze the role of law in preventing child exploitation through an examination of regulations and criminal law enforcement in Indonesia. The method used is normative juridical research with a descriptive qualitative approach, supported by empirical data from interviews with law enforcement officers and child protection agencies. The results of the study indicate that although Indonesia has a comprehensive regulatory framework, such as Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection and Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, its implementation still faces various challenges. These obstacles include weak coordination among institutions, limited capacity of law enforcement officers, low public awareness, and the persistent social stigma against child victims. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening the capacity of officers, applying a restorative approach, fostering synergy among institutions, and public education to build an effective, integrative, and sustainable child protection system.

The rapid development of digital technology has increased the risk of privacy violations and cybercrimes targeting personal data. This study aims to analyze the role of criminal law in personal data protection and the prevention of cybercrimes in Indonesia, as well as to identify the challenges and strategies for strengthening law enforcement in the digital era. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a juridical-normative method through library research on regulations, particularly Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law), as well as related academic literature. The results of the study show that criminal law serves a dual function, acting as a repressive tool through the imposition of criminal sanctions on offenders, and as a preventive instrument in enhancing compliance with data security standards. Although the PDP Law provides a strong legal foundation, its implementation still faces challenges such as the suboptimal functioning of data protection institutions, limited capacity of law enforcement officers, and low public awareness of digital ethics. This study recommends institutional strengthening, enhancement of law enforcement human resource capacity, as well as public education and cross-sectoral synergy to create an effective and sustainable data protection system.

The limitation of physical memory (RAM) is a primary constraint hindering optimal performance in modern operating systems, especially when running large applications or performing intensive multitasking, often resulting in crashes and high latency. This research aims to quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of Virtual Memory (VM) implementation as a solution to this RAM constraint on the Windows 10 operating system, focusing on VM’s impact on CPU performance, GPU performance, and multitasking response. The methodology employed is a controlled experiment using industry-standard benchmarks: Cinebench R20 (CPU), Unigine Heaven (GPU), and response time measurements in intensive multitasking scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that VM activation improves CPU/GPU performance by up to 5% and accelerates multitasking response time by up to 15%, confirming VM's effectiveness in mitigating memory bottlenecks. Nevertheless, this study also identifies potential performance overhead stemming from excessive paging and swapping processes, which trigger the phenomenon of Thrashing. Therefore, the research recommends a dual optimization strategy to achieve maximum and stable performance: software optimization via the Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm to suppress page faults, supported by hardware optimization including the use of an SSD for the swap file and increased RAM capacity.

Digital era demands rapid adaptation by public administration to increase economic effectiveness and drive innovation in national development. This study aims to analyze the impact of public administration digitalization on economic effectiveness and national development innovation, as well as to identify inhibiting and supporting factors. The method used is a qualitative approach through a literature review of various secondary sources such as scientific journals, policy reports, and government publications. The results indicate that digitalization through e-government and the integration of technology-based public services have increased bureaucratic efficiency, transparency, and the quality of public services, which in turn strengthens the national economic ecosystem. Digital transformation also encourages policy innovation and cross-sector collaboration in development. However, gaps in digital infrastructure between regions, low digital literacy among officials and the public, and bureaucratic cultural resistance are major obstacles to equitable distribution of these positive impacts. Therefore, optimizing public administration digitalization requires a national strategy oriented toward equity, human resource capacity building, and institutional innovation to strengthen economic competitiveness and achieve sustainable national development.

The absolute nature of moral rights creates practical legal issues. Under the concept of a sales agreement, the ownership of the sold object is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Conversely, the concept of moral rights, as stipulated in Law Number 28 of 2014, dictates that moral rights cannot be transferred for any reason whatsoever as long as the creator is alive. The conceptual and juridical ambiguity arises from the contradictory nature of a copyright and/or copyrighted work sales agreement versus the absolute status of moral rights. The research methodology employed in this study is the normative juridical method. This method focuses on analyzing legal norms related to moral rights and sales agreements, specifically referencing Law Number 28 of 2014 (Copyright Law) and the Civil Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata). Normatively, the creator's moral rights are perpetual and non-transferable to other parties, in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 28 of 2014, Articles 5 and 57. Nevertheless, within the context of private law, Article 5 of Law Number 28 of 2014 grants the creator the freedom to either maintain or waive these rights. If the agreement is reached consensually, the principle of pacta sunt servanda is applicable between the contracting parties. A clause involving the assignment of moral rights can render the agreement voidable (vernietigbaar) if it involves a violation of the subjective requirements (consent and legal capacity). This is particularly true if the consent was obtained through an abuse of circumstances (penyalahgunaan keadaan). A violation of this requirement indicates that the consent provided by the creator was not free and consensual.

Stunting is one of the chronic nutritional problems that remains a serious challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas. This condition not only affects children's physical growth but also their cognitive development and long-term productivity. The low level of public awareness regarding balanced nutrition and proper parenting practices is a major factor contributing to the high prevalence of stunting. Therefore, community empowerment through village forums as a platform for advocacy, education, and cross-sector collaboration is essential. This activity aims to enhance the capacity of village communities to understand, prevent, and address stunting through participatory approaches. The methods applied include training for posyandu cadres, group discussions, and the establishment of village stunting forums involving community leaders, health workers, and local government officials. The results indicate a significant improvement in public knowledge and awareness regarding stunting prevention. The village forum also serves as a coordination center for policy advocacy and the implementation of nutrition programs at the local level. Thus, community empowerment through village forums has proven to be an effective strategy to strengthen community participation and enhance synergy between government, health institutions, and local residents in reducing stunting prevalence at the village level.

This research aims to examine the influence of firm size, operating capacity, and sales growth on financial distress, with profitability serving as a moderating variable. The study employs a purposive sampling technique and selects 96 companies from the primary consumer sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The data are analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the assistance of SPSS version 22. The findings reveal that firm size does not have a significant impact on financial distress, indicating that larger firms do not necessarily experience lower financial risk. In contrast, operating capacity and sales growth have a significant and positive influence on financial distress, suggesting that higher capacity utilization and increased sales activities may heighten financial vulnerability. Furthermore, profitability effectively moderates the relationships between firm size, operating capacity, and sales growth with financial distress. This result highlights the vital role of profitability in strengthening a company’s financial stability and mitigating potential financial distress or bankruptcy.
