This study aims to explore the influence of formal language skills on the use of slang among first-semester students in the English Language and Literature Education Program at Muhammadiyah University Maumere. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with subjects consisting of first-year students. Information was collected through observation, questionnaire distribution, and brief interviews about daily language use habits and academic contexts. The findings of this study indicate that the majority of students actively use slang when interacting informally, especially when communicating with peers and on social media platforms. The use of slang serves as a way to express identity, build social solidarity, and facilitate social adjustment. However, deficiencies in formal language skills make it difficult for some students to recognize the appropriate use of language in context, so that elements of slang often creep into academic situations, such as in class discussions and assignment writing. This study concludes that formal language skills have an impact on the use of slang. Students with high formal language skills tend to be better at switching between language varieties according to context, while those with low formal skills are at greater risk of mixing them up.

Language is the primary means of communication in human life. The absorption of English into Indonesian among university students is an increasingly prominent phenomenon with the development of globalization and digital technology. This study aims to analyze the impact of this absorption on the emergence of new words or terms used by students in academic contexts and everyday communication. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. This approach was chosen because this study aims to describe and analyze linguistic phenomena and their impact on the Indonesian language. The results of the analysis show that the absorption of English has given rise to various new terms that are practical, concise, and contextual, such as deadline, submit, healing, burnout, as well as mixed forms with Indonesian affixes such as nge-print and di-upload. These terms facilitate communication and enrich students' linguistic expression. However, on the other hand, the use of these new terms has the potential to displace the use of standard Indonesian equivalents. Thus, the absorption of English has a dual impact: enriching vocabulary through the formation of new terms while also requiring a wise attitude to maintain the existence of the Indonesian language.

Land conflict between the Sihaporas indigenous community and PT Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL) remains an ongoing agrarian issue that directly affects the community’s livelihoods. The inclusion of the company’s concession within the customary territory has changed patterns of land control and use that were previously managed collectively across generations. This situation restricts access to agricultural land and forests, reduces sources of income, and creates social tensions and confrontations. This study aims to analyze the impacts of land conflict on the Sihaporas indigenous community and to examine the conflict through a political ecology perspective with a focus on power relations among actors. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings show that the conflict affects economic, social, and cultural aspects of the community and reflects unequal power relations between indigenous peoples, corporations, and the state in controlling agrarian resources.

This study analyzes the impact of learning motivation levels on student attendance discipline at the Saint Ignasius Catholic Vocational School in Wairterang. The background of the problem highlights the low level of student attendance, which is caused by the lack of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the vocational education environment. This phenomenon impacts the effectiveness of learning and overall student achievement. The purpose of the study is to identify the causal relationship between learning motivation and attendance discipline, and to measure the significant influence of motivation variables on attendance discipline. The approach used is quantitative with a Likert-scale questionnaire survey method. The study sample involved students in grades X-XII at the Saint Ignasius Catholic Vocational School in Wairterang, with data analysis using simple linear regression to test the hypothesis. The results of the study are expected to show a positive and significant influence of learning motivation on attendance discipline. Practical implications include recommended strategies for guidance and counseling (BK) teachers, such as individual counseling programs, attendance-based reward systems, and the integration of intrinsic motivation through vocational extracurricular activities. These strategies are expected to improve learning effectiveness and build students' disciplined character in vocational high schools

The phenomenon of homelessness and begging in public places remains a complex social problem and impacts public order and legal norms. The main problem in this study is how the criminal law is applied to homelessness and begging in public places, and how the provisions compare in the old Criminal Code and the new Criminal Code based on Law Number 1 of 2023. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and literature study. In the old Criminal Code, begging is regulated in Article 504 which threatens imprisonment for anyone who begs in public. Meanwhile, the new Criminal Code regulates similar acts in Article 425 which no longer uses the term "begging" explicitly, but regulates the prohibition against the repeated exploitation of certain activities in public places that disturb the community. The research results show that, despite substantial continuity, the new Criminal Code tends to use a more humanistic approach and emphasizes social rehabilitation. Law enforcement against vagrants and beggars still faces various obstacles, such as low public reporting, limited oversight by authorities, and a lack of rehabilitation facilities. Therefore, the main conclusion of this research is that a repressive approach alone is insufficiently effective. An integrated legal strategy is needed, combining penal and non-penal approaches with the active involvement of the government, the community, and social institutions.

Infrastructure expansion has been increasingly recognized as a transformative force shaping the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of coastal communities. This study investigates the effects of major infrastructure development specifically ports and toll roads on social mobility and religious practices within the traditional fishing communities of Bengkalis Island. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with fisherfolk, local leaders, and religious figures, as well as reviews of regional development policies. The findings reveal that new infrastructure has introduced shifts in livelihood patterns, encouraging economic diversification beyond traditional fishing activities. These shifts contribute to both upward and horizontal mobility, altering long-standing social hierarchies within the community. Moreover, the changing economic landscape influences religious life: traditional maritime rituals experience reduced centrality, while formalized religious organizations gain greater authority and participation. Infrastructure development also increases exposure to external cultural influences, accelerating negotiations of religious identity and modern interpretations of faith. Overall, this study argues that infrastructure projects function not only as physical catalysts of development but also as sociocultural drivers that reshape belief systems, communal relations, and the lived realities of traditional fishing populations. The research highlights the necessity of adopting development strategies sensitive to local contexts and cultural continuity.

This study aims to examine the impact of tourism activities on environmental sustainability and the culture of the Tengger tribe in Ngadas Village, Poncokusumo District, Malang Regency. Ngadas Village is one of the traditional villages located in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park area and is a growing natural and cultural tourist destination. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that tourism activities have a positive impact in the form of economic improvement for the community and the preservation of several cultural traditions through tourist attractions. However, there are also negative impacts such as environmental degradation due to increased waste volume and land use change, as well as the commercialization of culture, which has the potential to diminish the sacred meaning of the Tengger tribe's traditions. This study recommends the need for sustainable and participatory tourism management, involving the indigenous community in decision-making so that environmental and cultural sustainability is maintained amid the development of the tourism sector.

Banks are financial institutions that play a very important role in the economy and continue to innovate by developing various new forms and services. Spin-offs of Sharia Business Units (UUS) are a new method in the world of Islamic banking with the aim of becoming independent Islamic banks in conducting business activities based on sharia principles. The spin-off of the SBU is one of the main focuses of Law Number 4 of 2023 concerning the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector. Furthermore, referring to the provisions in Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 12 of 2023 concerning Sharia Business Units, conventional banks can carry out banking activities in accordance with sharia principles by being required to open an SBU. This shows that the UUS is a unit that remains part of the conventional bank, and the provisions governing its activities, even though they are carried out by conventional banks, must still follow sharia principles, including prohibiting interest-based transactions. This study shows that spin-offs of UUS have great potential to drive the growth of Islamic banking. A spin-off is a company's decision to restructure, which has various legal implications. Although spin-offs of Islamic banks have the potential to improve the performance of Islamic banking, government policies that require spin-offs without considering the specific context of each bank can hinder the development of this sector. The implementation of mandatory spin-off policies needs to be balanced with more comprehensive government policy support.

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly disrupted the global labor sector, including in Indonesia. The urgency of this study lies in the growing inequality in access to digital skills and the lack of legal protection for workers in the digital era. This research aims to analyze the impact of AI on employment in Indonesia and to assess the adequacy of labor regulations in addressing digital transformation. This study employs a normative legal method with a juridical-empirical approach, utilizing literature review, secondary data, and qualitative analysis of labor policies and relevant regulations. The findings reveal that while AI has the potential to create new types of employment, it also threatens conventional jobs, especially in labor-intensive sectors. Moreover, Indonesia's labor regulations have not yet adapted to new, flexible, and platform-based work models, resulting in legal uncertainty for informal and freelance workers. This study contributes to the discourse on the need for labor law reform that is inclusive and adaptive to technological developments. In conclusion, there is a pressing need for responsive labor regulation reform, increased digital literacy, and continuous reskilling systems to ensure that AI-driven transformation does not create new inequalities in the labor market. Future research is recommended to focus on formulating new legal protection models for digital workers in the AI era.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has significantly changed strategy and decision making in marketing management. However, the massive use of AI raises new challenges regarding ethics, transparency and governance. This research aims to analyze the impact of using AI, especially recommender systems and large language models (LLMs), on the effectiveness of marketing decisions, as well as the role of AI governance in controlling emerging ethical issues. The research method uses a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis of data collected from 250 marketing professionals in Indonesia. The research results show that the use of AI has a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of marketing decisions (β=0.62, p<0.001), but also raises ethical issues (β=0.48, p<0.01). Ethical issues were proven to reduce the effectiveness of marketing decisions (β=-0.31, p<0.05), while good AI governance was able to moderate the negative impact of ethical issues (β=0.27, p<0.05). These findings underscore the importance of AI governance in building effective and ethical marketing systems.

Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi blockchain dan arus globalisasi telah mendorong penggunaan Bitcoin di Indonesia, yang kini diakui sebagai komoditas dalam perdagangan berjangka. Namun, karakteristik anonimitas dan desentralisasi mata uang digital ini membuka celah signifikan bagi kemunculan cybercrime, seperti pencucian uang dan peretasan, yang menuntut perhatian yuridis serius. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dampak teknologi tersebut terhadap risiko kejahatan siber serta efektivitas regulasi yang berlaku. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan untuk menelaah kerangka hukum terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya dualisme regulasi di Indonesia, di mana Bappebti melegalkan Bitcoin sebagai aset investasi, sementara Bank Indonesia melarangnya sebagai alat pembayaran. Ketidaksinkronan ini, diperparah dengan sifat lintas batas blockchain, menciptakan tantangan dalam penegakan hukum terhadap kejahatan siber. Disimpulkan bahwa harmonisasi regulasi antara otoritas keuangan dan penguatan aturan keamanan siber sangat mendesak dilakukan guna memitigasi risiko kejahatan tanpa menghambat inovasi ekonomi digital.
