Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are business activities that have an important role in expanding employment opportunities and providing broad economic services for the community. However, the obstacles faced by MSMEs are the lack of ability and understanding due to low education and the assumption that the implementation of financial report recording is difficult. Therefore, this study is very interesting because it aims to test the application of SAK EMKM in the preparation of financial statements, especially regarding the application of SAK EMKM in the preparation of financial statements understood by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This study uses descriptive research with qualitative methods. The data collection used was interviews, observations, and documentation. Based on the findings of the research discussion, it can be concluded that Batik Lea Collection MSMEs have not implemented SAK EMKM in the preparation of their financial statements. This is mainly due to the owner's limited knowledge and understanding of accounting and financial reporting standards. Although the owners know about the existence of SAK EMKM, they lack knowledge about its implementation. Evidence from direct observation and documentation shows that Batik Lea Collection MSMEs only record cash inflows and outflows. Owners create bookkeeping reports that can only be understood by themselves  

This study aims to describe the forms of community participation and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in the preservation of the Wolotopo Traditional Village tourism site, located in Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation involving purposively selected key informants, including traditional leaders, village officials, local residents, and representatives from the Tourism Office. The findings indicate that community participation comprises four main forms: psychological (idea contribution), physical (labor), material (goods), and financial (monetary) participation. Psychological participation remains limited due to low cultural literacy and a lack of participatory space, while other forms of participation demonstrate more active community involvement in cultural and environmental preservation efforts. Supporting factors include strong social solidarity, collective programs such as the “Clean Friday” initiative, and institutional collaboration, whereas obstacles consist of inadequate infrastructure, economic dependence on the primary sector, and limited human resource capacity in tourism management. Therefore, the preservation of Wolotopo Traditional Village requires a sustainable, collaborative approach grounded in community empowerment, local economic strengthening, and the enhancement of social and cultural competencies.

PT Udara jadi Bersih Bekasi is a company engaged in testing Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. So far, the process of recording test results is still carried out manually using paper media. This process poses a number of obstacles, such as delays in recording, potential input errors, and limitations in accuracy and data storage. This condition also has an impact on delays in the submission of test results information to supervisors, who should need fast and accurate data for decision-making. To answer this problem, a web-based application is needed to design a web-based application that is able to digitize the entire workflow of recording and reporting HVAC test results. With a web-based system, data can be managed centrally, more structured, and easily accessible at any time. This application is also equipped with QR Code technology to speed up access to test results. Supervisors and technicians only need to scan the code for complete information, so they no longer rely on manual searches that are time-consuming and prone to serious errors in technical documentation. The design of this application uses the Waterfall method which consists of the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. UML is used as a tool to describe business processes and system activity flows in detail, so that development can be carried out more systematically, efficiently, and in a targeted manner according to applicable software engineering standards. With the implementation of this application, PT Udara jadi Bersih Bekasi is expected to be able to improve operational efficiency, reduce recording errors, and speed up the information distribution process. In the end, this digitalization will support companies in providing services that are more professional, accurate, innovative, reliable, and according to the needs of the modern HVAC industry in the era of global digitalization.

The Nganjuk Regency Government shows a commitment to strengthen the capacity of MSME actors through activities such as digital training. However, the challenges of digital transformation demand a more adaptive strategy. The omah away program is present as a regional innovation in accelerating the digitalization of MSMEs, in line with the national vision towards the smart economy and digital transformation targets announced in the RPJMN.

This study highlights how the away house becomes an integrative model that not only provides technical training, but also builds a collaborative ecosystem between the government, business actors, the private sector, communities, education and society. Despite the impact on increasing the participation of digital MSMEs and reducing the unemployment rate, obstacles such as low business legality and online marketing effectiveness are still found. Therefore, critical reflection and cross-actor collaboration are key to the sustainability of the program. These findings strengthen the relevance of Dynamic Governance theory in the context of local-based digital transformation, as well as support efforts to achieve smart economy in areas with growing potential such as Nganjuk Regency.

Rapid developments in information technology have opened up opportunities for new threats to national security, one of which is hacking of information systems. Cyber attacks not only cause economic losses and disrupt public services, but also pose a serious threat to Indonesia's digital sovereignty. In this context, state intelligence has a strategic role as the front line in detecting, analyzing, and countering various forms of threats to the country's strategic information systems. However, strengthening the function of state intelligence in dealing with hacking crimes still faces various obstacles, ranging from regulatory aspects that are not yet adaptive, weak inter-agency coordination, to limitations in technology and human resources. This study aims to examine the extent of the effectiveness of strengthening state intelligence in countering information system hacking, as well as to formulate the urgency of updating national legal policies that support the formation of a strong, integrated, and professional cyber intelligence system. Using a normative legal research method supported by a conceptual and case approach, this study concludes that strengthening state intelligence requires regulatory reform, institutional integration, and investment in technology and human resources in order to maintain national sovereignty in the digital age.

The implementation of ballast water management is a very important strategic step in preventing marine environmental pollution, because ship ballast water often becomes a route for the spread of invasive alien species that have the potential to disrupt the balance of the ecosistem, harm the maritime economic sector, and endanger human health. This study focuses on ballast water management practices on the MT Timur Laut Mas 2 ship, with the aim of assessing how the procedures are implemented in order to prevent the entry of alien species, reviewing the implementation of both international and national regulations, and evaluating the performance of the Ballast Water Management Sistem (BWMS) technology applied. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method based on a case study, with data collection through interviews with ship crews and company management, direct observation on board the ship, technical documentation, and a review of supporting literature. The results of the study show that the implementation of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention (BWMC) regulations on ships has been realized through the preparation of a Ballast Water Management Plan, detailed recording in the Ballast Water Record Book, and the use of a BWMS that relies on filtration technology and ultraviolet radiation. However, the implementation still encounters obstacles in the form of limited crew understanding of system operation, variations in water quality along the shipping route that affect filtration effectiveness, and technical obstacles in equipment maintenance. Therefore, a combination of compliance with international regulations, improving crew competency through continuous training, and optimizing sistem operations are key factors in strengthening the effectiveness of ballast water management. These findings confirm that the application of modern technology in accordance with regulatory requirements can enhance marine ecosistem protection while ensuring the sustainability of the maritime industry, thus positively contributing to environmental sustainability and the stability.

The rapid development of information technology has opened up opportunities for new threats to national security, one of which is information system hacking. Cyberattacks not only cause economic losses and disrupt public services but also pose a serious threat to Indonesia's digital sovereignty. In this context, state intelligence plays a strategic role as the vanguard in detecting, analyzing, and countering various threats to the country's strategic information systems. However, strengthening the state intelligence function in countering hacking crimes still faces various obstacles, ranging from immature regulations, weak inter-agency coordination, to limited technology and human resources. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of strengthening state intelligence in countering information system hacking and to formulate the urgency of updating national legal policy to support the formation of a strong, integrated, and professional cyber intelligence system. Using normative legal research methods supported by conceptual and case-based approaches, this study concludes that strengthening state intelligence requires regulatory updates, institutional integration, and investment in technology and human resources to safeguard national sovereignty in the digital era.
