This study conducts a qualitative literature review on students' awareness in following school rules as a reflection of high internal motivation forming self-discipline without pressure, and examines the influence of time management discipline on the effectiveness of achieving Islamic Education learning outcomes. The analysis reveals that awareness in following rules develops through a long process of value internalization, starting from external compliance due to fear of punishment, shifting to compliance due to understanding the benefits of rules, and finally reaching a stage where rules are followed because their values have merged with self-identity. Factors such as dialogical rule socialization, teacher role modeling, conducive social environment, educational sanction systems, and consistent implementation significantly determine the success of this internalization. Meanwhile, time management discipline significantly influences the effectiveness of Islamic Education learning outcomes. Students with time management skills can organize study schedules, allocate time for reflection and appreciation of religious material, and consistently perform worship. The impact is seen not only in cognitive aspects through academic grades, but also in affective aspects through religious awareness and psychomotor aspects through regular worship behavior. These findings imply the need for schools to shift disciplinary development paradigms from authoritarian approaches focused on supervision and punishment toward humanist approaches focused on value internalization.

Tax extensification through the Policy of Integrating the Population Identification Number into the Taxpayer Identification Number is a new breakthrough of the Directorate General of Taxes which comes from the many public complaints about the number of government identity numbers that need to be owned, therefore the Single Identification Number (SIN) will be implemented between the Population Identification Number and the Taxpayer Identification Number. This research was conducted to find out how the Tax Extensification of the Population Identification Number Policy becomes a Taxpayer Identification Number in order to increase compliance of individual taxpayers at the West Bekasi Pratama Tax Service Office in 2022. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Extensification on the existence of the Population Identification Number policy into a Taxpayer Identification Number has been able to increase the number and compliance of taxpayers. However, there are still obstacles in the form of many taxpayers who feel complicated by the matching process due to differences in data in the Population Identification Number and in the Taxpayer Identification Number which affects the initial process in the form of matching has not been fully achieved, and there is still a lack of tax education owned by taxpayers. And some of the ways that can be done to help Extensification of this policy is to conduct intensive and equitable socialization and counseling by utilizing technology and social media so that the education and information conveyed can be received by taxpayers.

The Digital Population Identity (IKD) constitutes a pivotal government innovation aimed at transforming public services, yet its widespread adoption is impeded by disparities in digital literacy and inherent technical constraints. This community engagement activity, integrated with a participatory internship scheme, concentrates on analyzing and supporting the innovation diffusion trajectory executed by the Population and Civil Registration Department (Disdukcapil) of Kendal City. The adopted methodology employs a Participatory Action approach, strategically combined with a mobile service paradigm (jemput bola) across three designated urban villages: Langenharjo, Kebondalem, and Karangsari. Core interventions involved intensive, interpersonal socialization sessions and customized technical support for account activation. The assessment findings robustly suggest that the "jemput bola" model effectively leveraged interpersonal communication channels, thereby mitigating public skepticism and substantially elevating community involvement in IKD activation. While persistent challenges related to network instability and device incompatibility were observed, this direct, hands-on approach is ascertained as fundamentally crucial for achieving effective and equitable digital transformation at the local level.

Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) are critical to the Indonesian economy because they provide jobs and boost the local economy. However, MSMEs continue to disregard the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). With assistance from the Lampung Provincial Leadership Council (DPP) of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO), this study aims to investigate the factors influencing the use of SAK EMKM in MSMEs. SAK EMKM socialization, business size, length of operation, and educational background are among the factors analyzed. Survey-based quantitative approach is used in this study. 107 MSMEs received questionnaires from APINDO DPP Lampung in order to gather primary data. Multiple linear regression analysis, validity tests, reliability tests, and traditional assumption tests were performed on the data using SPSS software. Partial tests (t-tests) and coefficients of determination were used to test hypotheses. The study's findings show that SAK EMKM use in MSMEs supported by APINDO DPP Lampung is influenced by educational background, length of operation, and socialization. Meanwhile, SAK EMKM's use is mostly unaffected by the size of the company. This finding implies that the adoption of SAK EMKM is more influenced by the socialization, business experience, and skill levels of MSME members than by the size of the firm. It is anticipated that this study would help academics and MSME participants use SAK EMKM more effectively in order to achieve sustainable MSME financial management.

The use of social media is no longer just for information and entertainment, but has developed into a strategic means in building a positive self-image in the eyes of the public.

The reform of criminal law in Indonesia has become an increasingly urgent necessity in line with social developments, technological advancement, and the growing complexity and diversity of crime. Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the new Criminal Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana/KUHP) emerges as a comprehensive effort to replace the colonial-era Criminal Code and to align the national criminal law system with the current conditions of Indonesian society. This new Criminal Code introduces several significant changes, including the regulation of cybercrime, protection of the environment, the reinforcement of humanitarian values, and the strengthening of the principle of limiting criminal sanctions on individual liberty in order to ensure the protection of human rights. This paper aims to analyze the direction and substance of the Criminal Code reform, evaluate its potential implementation, and assess the implications of these changes for criminal law enforcement practices in Indonesia. The research method employed is a literature review using a normative approach, conducted through the analysis of statutory regulations, criminal law theories, and relevant case studies. The results of the analysis indicate that the new Criminal Code provides a more adaptive and responsive legal framework to contemporary issues; however, the effectiveness of its implementation largely depends on the readiness of law enforcement authorities, the intensity of regulatory socialization, and the level of public legal awareness. This study concludes that criminal law reform represents a strategic step toward realizing a criminal justice system that is more just, effective, and aligned with the values of Pancasila.

This study explores the profound impact of teacher personality competence on student character formation through a descriptive narrative lens grounded in the sociology of education. Education is not merely a technical transfer of knowledge but a complex social process where the teacher acts as a pivotal moral agent and role model. By synthesizing classical sociological paradigms—Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism—with contemporary empirical evidence, this article argues that a teacher's personality is a dynamic social construct that shapes the "hidden curriculum" and the overall school climate. The narrative analysis reveals that traits such as empathy, integrity, and social justice are not just individual attributes but essential tools for moral socialization and the internalization of collective values. The study finds that teachers who embody these virtues foster a sense of social belonging and ethical responsibility in students, effectively bridging the gap between individual identity and societal expectations. The article concludes that strengthening teacher personality competence is a strategic imperative for developing a resilient and morally grounded generation, recommending integrated professional development that emphasizes the teacher's role as a moral authority in the 21st-century social landscape.
