Legal assistance for applications is a crucial form of legal aid provided to the public in submitting various types of applications to the courts or related agencies. This research is motivated by the urgent need to understand the effectiveness and implementation of such legal aid services, particularly for underprivileged communities who face barriers in accessing the justice system. This article aims to discuss and describe in detail the application processing process carried out by the Legal Aid Post (Posbakum) when operating and collaborating with the Legundi Legal Aid Institute (LBH Legundi), specifically in the context of name change applications. This research uses normative legal methods with a conceptual and statutory approach to analyze the applicable procedures. The results show that Posbakum plays a central role in drafting name applications for communities in need through a phased assistance process that includes initial consultation, verification of document requirements, technical assistance in scanning and nazegel, drafting application letters, and guidance on case registration. This assistance model has proven effective in overcoming procedural obstacles and increasing access to justice for underprivileged communities, while simultaneously transforming the community from a passive to an active role in fighting for their civil rights.

In the digital age, English Education students still face difficulties in developing Academic English Proficiency because classroom learning is still dominated by traditional methods that are less appealing to digital natives. This study aims to explore and evaluate the integration of TikTok Learning Games (TLG) as a gamification-based learning medium to improve EAP for students in the English Education Study Program at Medan State University. Using a qualitative approach with a limited Research and Development model, data was collected through open-ended questionnaires and digital observations on TikTok, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that after two weeks of implementing TLG, students experienced improvements in academic vocabulary, pronunciation, contextual understanding, learning motivation, and speaking confidence, with 80% of participants stating that learning felt more enjoyable and less boring. However, a small number of students did not show significant changes due to limited access to technology and inconsistent use. Overall, this study concludes that TLG is an effective and practical digital gamification strategy for improving English proficiency, and can be used as a reference for lecturers in developing social media-based learning innovations in higher education.

The rapid development of technology encourages the change in crime patterns from conventional to digital through the use of electronic devices. This phenomenon makes many individuals and groups use technology not only for positive purposes, but also to gain financial gain illegally. Instagram as one of the most popular social media applications has also become a space for digital crime practices, especially through the creation of fake accounts. Fake accounts are used for various harmful acts such as online fraud, the spread of fake news, the use of identities or photos without permission, acts of bullying and negative comments that trigger conflicts, to the spread of pornographic content. This research aims to identify the forms of fake account practices on Instagram, analyze the causative factors, and evaluate the application of applicable laws, especially Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions. The research method used is empirical legal research with a qualitative approach. The data was collected through interviews with investigators from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police, academics, and civil society organizations (CSO). The results of the study show that the practice of fake accounts still often occurs due to low digital literacy, weak supervision from platforms, and not optimal law enforcement. Although Article 35 jo Article 51 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law has regulated the prohibition of data and identity manipulation, its implementation still faces a number of obstacles from aspects of legal substance, enforcement structure, and community legal culture. This study recommends the need for collaboration between the government and social media platforms in limiting the creation of fake accounts, improving people's digital literacy, and reformulating legal rules that are clearer and more adaptive to the dynamics of digital crime. These efforts are needed so that the protection of social media users is optimal and able to create a safe digital space.

Civil relations are not limited to the national sphere, but can also transcend national borders. These relations have existed since ancient Greece and continue to develop today. These transnational relations can give rise to legal issues, such as whether the relationship truly falls within the scope of international relations, the laws that apply to the relationship, and how disputes are resolved using which legal system. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Garuda vs. Rolls Royce case, which is part of international civil relations, raising the question of how this case can be included in the scope of international civil law studies and how one of the international conventions governing transnational civil law principles, namely UNIDROIT, can be applied. This study uses a normative approach that compares national and transnational legal systems to provide perspective on the case and a case approach that clearly explains the Garuda vs. Rolls Royce case, starting from the chronology and analyzing the case from the perspective of international civil law principles The results of this study found that this case falls under the scope of international civil law, where international civil law principles such as UNIDROIT can be applied in order to make progressive legal changes in regulating international civil relations to ensure legal protection and certainty for legal subjects. The implications of this research can be a catalyst for progressive legal changes in regulating international civil relations to ensure legal protection and certainty for legal subjects.

Adolescence is an important phase characterized by physical and behavioral changes, including diet and sleep, which can affect nutritional status. Frequency of fast food consumption and sleep duration are two factors that are thought to contribute to the imbalance of adolescent nutritional status. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the frequency of fast food consumption and sleep duration with nutritional status in students of SMA Negeri 6 Palu City. This study uses a quantitative approach with cross-sectional design. The population in this study active students in SMA Negeri 6 Palu city from Grade 10 to Grade 12 amounted to 841 students, with a Simple Random Sampling technique, : the results showed that most respondents were female (64.8%), age 16 years (51.7%), as many as (47.2%) students included in the category always consume fast food and (46.1%) have more sleep duration. Most nutritional Status is in the category of over nutrition (39.3%). There was a relationship between fast food consumption and nutritional status (p = 0.010) and there was no relationship between sleep duration and nutritional status (p = 0.813).

The root of Mimosa pudica L. contains mimosine, a toxic alkaloid, as well as tannins that exhibit toxic properties, potentially disrupting pancreatic function. Exposure to sufficiently high concentrations of toxic compounds can impair cellular metabolism, leading to irreversible damage. One of the cellular changes induced by cytotoxic compounds is the reduction in the size of pancreatic Langerhans islets. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ethanol extract of Mimosa pudica roots on the diameter of Langerhans islets and β-cell damage in the pancreas of mice. Twelve mice were randomly divided into four groups, each consisting of three animals. Group I served as a control and did not receive the extract, whereas Groups II, III, and IV were administered root extract at doses of 10 mg/g BW, 100 mg/g BW, and 1000 mg/g BW, respectively, for 14 consecutive days. The results demonstrated that administration of ethanol extract of Mimosa pudica roots reduced the diameter of pancreatic Langerhans islets in a dose-dependent manner, with higher doses causing more severe β-cell damage. These findings highlight the need for caution in the use of Mimosa pudica roots as traditional medicine or dietary supplements.

Menarche is the first transitional period marked in women, known as the first menstruation (menarche). During menarche, physical and psychological changes occur, such as anxiety and sadness, due to the physical changes in this period. The changes usually include pubic hair, armpit hair, and breast development. This often happens among elementary school students, including those in SDN Lampeuneurut. This study aims to determine the relationship between parental support and the level of anxiety in girls facing menarche in SDN Lampeuneurut. This research employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 120 female students in grades 5 and 6 at SDN Lampeueneurut who had not yet experienced menarche. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 55 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. This research was conducted from June 18th to 20th, 2025. The instruments used were a parental support questionnaire and the STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory) of anxiety questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a bivariate statistical test, the Chi-Square test. The research findings indicated a significant relationship between parental support and the anxiety levels of female students in facing menarche, with a p-value of 0.011 (p-value < 0.05). This study concludes that parental support is related to a decrease in the anxiety levels of girls facing menarche. This study recommends that schools provide basic reproductive health education from an early age, especially regarding menarche, and that parents understand the importance of providing emotional, informational, instrumental, and appreciative support.

This community service initiative was designed to increase students' enthusiasm for Arabic language instruction by applying singing techniques in co-curricular activities at Hasanka Islamic Elementary School. The program emerged in response to the low interest of students in learning Arabic, which was considered to be lacking in variety and uninteresting for elementary school children. The approach applied is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasizes active participation between educators, students, and facilitators in all stages of the activity. This method is implemented through a repetitive cycle that includes planning, implementation, observation, and joint evaluation to ensure that each activity is appropriate to the needs of the students and the school environment. Data was obtained through field observations, in-depth dialogues with teachers and students, activity records, and post-instruction group discussions. Descriptive analysis was conducted to identify changes in learning behavior, engagement levels, and students' emotional responses to singing activities. The findings showed a significant increase in student motivation and participation in Arabic language learning. The findings show a significant increase in student motivation and participation in Arabic language learning. Themed songs help them remember vocabulary more effectively, improve simple communication skills, and create a more enjoyable learning atmosphere. Furthermore, students have taken the initiative to compose lyrics and lead study groups. Implicitly, the application of singing techniques has proven to be effective not only in improving linguistic competence, but also in building confidence, creativity, and cooperation in the elementary school environment.

The ambiguity of the concept of state economic loss in Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of the Corruption Crime Law (Tipikor Law) has yet to be defined normatively or by an official institution with the authority to do so. This uncertainty has given rise to legal problems in law enforcement, especially after Constitutional Court Decision No. 25/PUU-XIV/2016, which changed the qualification of corruption offenses to material offenses, so that the proof of economic loss to the state must be actual loss. However, in practice, as in the Surya Darmadi corruption case, law enforcement officials still face difficulties in determining the measure and method of proving economic loss to the state in a lawful manner. The issues in this study are the basis for the judge's consideration of the element of economic loss to the state in the Central Jakarta District Court Decision No. 62/Pid.Sus-TPK/2022/PN.Jkt.Pst and the obstacles and constraints in proving the element of economic loss to the state in criminal acts of corruption.This study uses a normative legal method with a statute approach, a case approach, and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that the first-level panel of judges assessed that environmental damage and the loss of potential state revenue due to the illegal conversion of forest areas were part of the actual economic loss to the state, while the Supreme Court emphasized the importance of limiting this element to actual loss in accordance with Constitutional Court Decision No. 25/PUU-XIV/2016. The obstacles and constraints in proving the element of state economic loss in corruption crimes stem from internal and external factors that are interrelated and affect the effectiveness of law enforcement.

Based on these results, it can be concluded that freshwater pacing leaves contain various bioactive compounds that have the potential to be developed as natural medicinal ingredients.

The form of historicization in literary criminology views criminality as the result of power relations, unequal social structures, and history. Criminal acts in historicization are always placed in a specific time and place context, tracing how a behavior is considered “criminal” or “against the law” depending on the historical construction formed by the legal system, the state, and the rulers. Historicization also reveals that what is referred to as crime is not absolute, but can change according to historical developments and power struggles. The purpose of this study is to describe the form of criminalization in the novel Lampuki, which is not merely an individual deviant act, but a reflection of historical trauma and a flawed social structure. The approach used is literary sociology. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method with reading and note-taking techniques obtained from the novel Lampuki by Arafat Nur in the form of sentences and paragraphs. The results of the study show that there are seven data points that fall under the form of criminalization of history. From the seven data points, three findings were generalized and discovered in Arafat Nur novel Lampuki, namely: (1) transgenerational trauma of violence, (2) the destruction of the socio-cultural structure, and (3) dark figure of crime.

This study examines the challenges and solutions in bureaucratic transformation towards digitalization in government institutions, with a focus on the administrative services for issuing Certificates of Existence of Mass Organizations/NGOs by the National Unity and Politics Agency (Kesbangpol).

Adolescence is a transitional period marked by rapid physical, psychological, and social changes. During this time, hormonal growth occurs as a sign of puberty and the activation of reproductive organs, one of which is breast development. However, these changes can sometimes lead to breast abnormalities such as lumps, pain, or changes in shape that may indicate early signs of health problems. One of the most effective early detection efforts for breast abnormalities is Breast Self-Examination (BSE). This examination is important to be done regularly so that each individual, especially adolescent girls, can recognize the condition of their breasts early on. Unfortunately, many adolescent girls still do not know what BSE is or how to perform it correctly. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and breast self-examination (BSE) behavior among female students at SMA Negeri 1 Krueng Barona Jaya, Aceh Besar District. This research was a quantitative study using an analytic cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out on May 27, 2025, with a population of 30 female students from grades X and XI, selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test showed that there was no relationship between knowledge level and BSE behavior, with a p-value of 0.384 (p > 0.05). It is expected that parents and schools can improve adolescent girls’ knowledge about BSE as an effort for prevention and early detection of possible breast abnormalities.
