This study examines the legal responsibility of producers for the circulation of hazardous food products through a strict liability approach, with a case study on the Okko Bread product which was proven to contain sodium dehydroacetate (NDA)—a substance prohibited for use in bread based on BPOM regulations. The research method used is normative empirical, namely combining analysis of laws and regulations, especially Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, with empirical facts from the findings of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) and the responses of producers. The results of the study show that producers do not fully carry out their legal obligations, both in terms of information transparency and responsibility for consumer losses. The application of the strict liability principle still faces obstacles in implementation, mainly due to weak supervision, low legal awareness of producers, and minimal consumer literacy. These findings indicate the need to strengthen regulations, increase legal sanctions, and educate the public so that the principle of absolute liability truly provides fair protection for consumers. This study emphasizes the importance of integration between law enforcement, business ethics, and the active role of society in creating an effective and sustainable consumer protection system.

Local financial management in Indonesia still faces significant challenges, such as budget inefficiencies, high dependence on central funds, and lack of locally generated revenue (PAD), which exacerbates development inequality, especially in underdeveloped regions such as Papua. This research highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration and technology utilization for the optimization of local finance to achieve sustainable development equity. Collaboration between central and local governments, the private sector, and the community can improve transparency and accountability of budget management, while technologies such as e-budgeting, blockchain, and the Local Government Information System (SIPD) can accelerate the budget planning and monitoring process. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis of primary and secondary data to evaluate the effectiveness of technology integration and cross-sector collaboration. The results show that a strong synergy between collaboration and technology can improve budget efficiency, reduce dependency on central funds, and accelerate infrastructure development and public services in disadvantaged areas. Policy recommendations include strengthening local government capacity, implementing a blockchain-based monitoring system, and involving communities in development planning. This research contributes to the local financial management literature by offering evidence-based solutions that support inclusive and equitable development in Indonesia.

Credit score evaluation for functional positions is a critical component in the career development of employees at the Financial Supervisory Agency (BPK) in Jakarta. However, this evaluation process often encounters challenges related to objectivity, consistency, and transparency due to the combination of qualitative and quantitative criteria. This study aims to apply the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision support tool in the credit score assessment system. AHP is chosen for its ability to break down complex problems into a hierarchical structure and to assign priority weights through pairwise comparisons among criteria. This method is used to determine the priority weights of each evaluation component, including both main and supporting elements, leading to more structured and accountable decisions. The findings indicate that the implementation of AHP enhances the accuracy and objectivity of the credit score evaluation process for functional positions at BPK. Therefore, this approach can serve as the foundation for developing a more transparent and efficient technology-based assessment system.

The methods used include literature research, reports, and policy articles. The results of the study indicate that taking an active part in reporting and monitoring can increase the accountability of public officials.

This study aims to analyze the influence of accountability, transparency, rule of law, effectiveness, and efficiency on local government performance with supervision as a moderating variable in the Langkat Regency Government. This study uses an associative research method with a quantitative approach based on numbers. The study population consisted of 40 Regional Work Units (SKPD) with 120 respondents determined through purposive sampling techniques, with the criteria of heads of departments/agencies, secretaries, and treasurers who have served for at least the last five years. Primary data were obtained through distributing questionnaires using a Likert scale, and data analysis was carried out with the help of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results of the study indicate that the variables of accountability, transparency, rule of law, and effectiveness and efficiency have a positive and significant effect on local government performance. However, the results of the moderation test indicate that supervision only plays a significant role as a moderating variable in strengthening the relationship between the rule of law and local government performance. Meanwhile, supervision does not significantly moderate the relationship between accountability, transparency, and effectiveness and efficiency on local government performance. These findings are expected to be a consideration for local governments in improving the quality of governance, especially through strengthening the rule of law supported by an effective monitoring system.

This study provides a focused ethical analysis of a real-world business case from an Islamic perspective, highlighting the consequences of ethical breaches in a Muslim-majority market.

This study aims to analyze the concept of Islamic public finance according to Abu 'Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam in Kitab al-Amwal and its relevance to the implementation of zakat-based fiscal policy in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and library research method, the study reveals that Abu 'Ubaid emphasized three main principles in public finance management: justice, transparency, and public benefit (maslahah). He viewed zakat as a public financial instrument that must be managed by the state to ensure fair and equitable distribution of wealth. The implementation of zakat-based fiscal policy in Indonesia still faces challenges such as low public awareness, lack of integration into the national and regional budgets, and uneven zakat distribution. Based on Abu ‘Ubaid's thoughts, the proposed solutions include strengthening regulations, improving transparency in zakat institutions, and optimizing the use of technology. Integrating zakat into the public financial system can be an effective strategy to reduce social inequality and promote sustainable public welfare.

The issue of illegal parking in Batam City has become a serious concern, where unofficial parking attendants often collect fees from drivers without contributing to the local government. This situation not only disrupts order and security but also harms local revenue (PAD). Illegal parking practices create discomfort for the public and reduce trust in the existing parking system. Moreover, it hinders the optimization of PAD potential that should be generated from a well-organized and orderly parking system. This research aims to develop a technological solution to address this issue by creating an Android application called Fast Parking System. The application is designed to improve parking system efficiency through a fast, secure, and transparent cashless payment system. By using this application, drivers can pay for parking digitally, reducing direct interaction with parking attendants and minimizing the potential for illegal fees. The application is also integrated with an official surveillance system, allowing local authorities to monitor parking activities in real-time and ensure that parking fees are directed to the local treasury. It is expected that the implementation of Fast Parking System will create a more orderly, safe, and efficient parking system. With this solution, the local government can not only increase transparency but also optimize revenue from the parking sector. In addition, the application offers greater convenience for the public in using well-managed parking facilities. The findings from this research can serve as a useful reference for the Batam City Government and other cities in Indonesia facing similar illegal parking issues. It can also be used as a guideline for developing more efficient and modern technology-based parking systems.

Archives management plays a crucial role in ensuring the accountability of an organization, as proper management of archives can enhance transparency and operational effectiveness. Based on observations made at the Maluku Province Regional Library and Archives Office, several issues were identified within the current archiving system. One of the key problems is the lack of knowledge about proper archives management, which causes significant barriers during the archiving process. The office employs two archivists with high school and diploma (D3) education backgrounds. Although they have attended archives management training, the current system remains ineffective, which in turn affects work efficiency, particularly in the process of searching for archives. In many instances, the required archives are either difficult to locate or entirely missing. This study aims to assess the impact of archives management on work efficiency at the Maluku Province Regional Library and Archives Office. The research employs quantitative analysis with a sample size of 42 employees. Data were collected through a survey method, using a questionnaire to capture relevant information from the participants. Simple linear regression analysis conducted using SPSS 24 revealed that archives management accounts for 35% of the variance in work efficiency, while the remaining 65% is influenced by other factors. The findings suggest that effective archives management has a positive and significant impact on employee work efficiency. Based on the results, several practical implications are suggested: (1) the current archiving system should be maintained and improved for better performance, (2) training and development programs should be implemented to enhance the skills of archivists, (3) archivists should be equipped with specialized skills in archives management to improve overall efficiency, and (4) ongoing coaching and mentorship for archivists should be provided to ensure continuous improvement.

This research aims to analyse the authority of the Police Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) in handling mass riots and examine the implementation of criminal law in evaluating the actions taken during the operation. This research departs from the importance of ensuring that every action of law enforcement officials, especially Brimob, remains within the corridors of Indonesian positive law and is oriented towards the principles of human rights. The results show that the Brimob Corps has the legal authority under Law No. 2 of 2002 on the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia to deal with high-level situations, including mass riots. In carrying out its duties, Brimob is authorised to use coercive measures, but must still pay attention to the principles of necessity, proportionality, legality, and accountability. The implementation of criminal law is an important instrument in evaluating Brimob's actions, by assessing whether the use of force meets the elements of legal justification such as forced defence or official orders, in accordance with the Criminal Code and human rights principles. It is suggested that there is a need to improve legal training for Brimob members on the limits of the use of force and the implementation of criminal law principles in emergency situations. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen internal and external evaluation mechanisms, including cooperation with independent institutions such as Komnas HAM, to maintain transparency and accountability. Thus, the rule of law and the protection of human rights can be better upheld in every operation to handle mass riots by Brimob officers.

This research discusses the application of Islamic economic principles during the leadership of Al-Khulafa' Al-Rasyidin, namely Abu Bakar Ash-Shiddiq, Umar bin Khattab, Uthman bin Affan, and Ali bin Abi Talib. The focus of the study lies on the application of sharia values such as justice, honesty, zakat, and wealth distribution in economic policy and governance. The study found that the caliphs consistently implemented Islamic economic principles in state financial management, zakat collection and distribution, market supervision, and protection of property rights. Such implementation proved the effectiveness of the Islamic economic system in creating social justice and public welfare. The application of Islamic economic principles in financial management has an important role because it provides a strong ethical and moral basis, supports the creation of a sustainable economy, and emphasizes justice in the distribution of wealth in society. These principles serve as guidelines for individuals to manage their finances wisely so as to bring benefits not only to themselves, but also to their social environment. By applying these values, wealth inequality can be prevented and a stable and fair economic system can be built. Islamic economics also emphasizes the importance of transparency and honesty in every financial transaction. By avoiding unethical practices such as usury and excessive speculation, individuals can maintain integrity and create a financial system that is aligned with moral values. In addition, Islamic economic principles contain a high value of social responsibility, reflected in the teachings on Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah which encourage individuals to participate in social development and help those in need. Therefore, managing personal finances based on these principles not only ensures individual financial sustainability, but also has a positive impact on the well-being of society at large.
