PT. Pelayaran Dwi Putra Laksana Batam operates in the sector of ship security services and shipping management (shipping agency), providing support for both domestic and international voyages. Its services include handling vessel arrival and departure permits, processing entry and exit permits for foreign crew members, renewing ship and crew certificates, and managing administrative procedures for seafarers’ sign-on and sign-off documentation. The document management process begins when crew members either sign a Sea Work Agreement (PKL) for employment on Indonesian-flagged ships or enter into a work agreement for service on foreign-flagged vessels. This paper employs field observation and literature review methods to present a comprehensive description of the document processing mechanisms at PT. Pelayaran Dwi Putra Laksana Batam based on operational requirements. The discussion focuses on outlining the workflow of seafarer book sign-on procedures, starting from the shipowner’s notification regarding scheduled crew changes to final administrative completion at the Batam Special KSOP Office. The sign-on document not only verifies the crew member’s official assignment but also functions as a record of their maritime service history. Common challenges include delays in information submission from shipowners, which can prevent timely sign-on and subsequently hinder vessel clearance. Therefore, strong coordination between shipping companies and regulatory agencies is essential to ensure effective fulfillment of responsibilities in managing crew documentation.

Furthermore, legality has been proven to increase the credibility of MSMEs, expand market access, facilitate collaboration with the private sector and government agencies, and open up opportunities for obtaining capital support. A significant increase in consumer trust is also evident, as MSME products with legality are more easily accepted and marketed through various distribution channels. Thus, this study confirms that business legality is not merely an administrative requirement, but rather a strategy that can encourage sustainable business growth and increase competitiveness at the local and national levels. In conclusion, the synergy between MSMEs and the government is the main key in encouraging the creation of a healthy, transparent, and highly competitive business ecosystem.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. The factors examined include village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation. Development, in general, can be defined as efforts to enhance the productivity of resources owned by a region, such as natural resources, human resources, and financial resources. However, development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village faces challenges, namely changes in economic structure and land use conversion, which impact the regional development. This research employs a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between independent variables (village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation) and the dependent variable (village development success). The data used are secondary time series data collected annually from 1995 to 2024. Data were gathered through literature review by obtaining information from credible official sources, including government agencies, the Central Bureau of Statistics, and the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office. Data analysis was conducted using Eviews 12 software. The results indicate that village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation simultaneously have a significant effect on the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Moreover, labor force, investment, and community participation have a positive and significant partial effect on development success, while village institution revenue has a positive but not significant partial effect. The findings also reveal that investment is the most dominant factor influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Theoretically, the finding that investment has a dominant influence on the success of Kesiman Kertalangu Village development strengthens the Solow growth model, Robert Chambers' participatory theory, and Amartya Sen's capacity building concept. Practically, the research results provide strategic direction for village governments and stakeholders in designing participation- based development policies, increasing fiscal capacity, and empowering local workers.

This study aims to analyze the responsibilities of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) and the state in implementing restitution for victims of sexual violence, particularly when the perpetrators are unable to pay or are sentenced to death. The background of this research lies in the weak implementation of restitution, which should be a fundamental right of victims, as illustrated by the case of Herry Wirawan based on the Bandung High Court Decision Number 86/Pid.Sus/2022/PT Bdg. The research addresses two main problems: (1) how the state and LPSK ensure the victims’ rights to restitution under such circumstances, and (2) what obstacles hinder the implementation of restitution based on the decision. The study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and case study approach. The findings show that the implementation of restitution still faces serious obstacles, such as the absence of technical mechanisms, the lack of designated executing institutions, and the lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies. LPSK plays a role in proposing and calculating restitution amounts but lacks execution authority. Moreover, the state has not yet fulfilled its role as the ultimate guarantor for victims when the perpetrator is unable to comply. In conclusion, Indonesia’s legal system needs to strengthen technical regulations, ensure inter-agency coordination, and affirm the state's role as a guarantor of restitution to achieve meaningful restorative justice for victims of sexual violence

The development of information technology has brought significant changes to the medical device procurement process, particularly within government institutions such as the Health Office. The procurement of appropriate, efficient, and objective medical devices is crucial to supporting optimal medical services, yet the decision-making process is often constrained by limited budgets and the complexity of multiple assessment criteria. This study aims to design and implement a decision support system (DSS) based on the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method to provide recommendations for medical device procurement at the Binjai Health Office. The DSS evaluates six main criteria: price, quality, durability, ease of maintenance, medical necessity, and safety level, using procurement data from the 2022–2024 period. The TOPSIS method is applied to calculate the relative closeness of each alternative to the ideal solution, enabling decision-makers to rank medical device options objectively and systematically. The findings show that the DSS successfully prioritizes procurement alternatives, helping stakeholders allocate budgets more effectively and transparently. In addition, the system minimizes subjective bias by integrating quantitative analysis with clearly defined criteria. The system is implemented in a web-based environment with MySQL as the database, ensuring accessibility and scalability for future use. Overall, this research demonstrates that integrating TOPSIS into a decision support system can enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and accountability of medical device procurement in public health agencies. The study is expected to contribute to improving budget management and strengthening the quality of health services through better resource allocation.

Illegal wildlife capture and trade is a form of crime that has a serious impact on environmental sustainability. This practice not only disrupts the balance of the ecosystem but also threatens the sustainability of biodiversity, a vital asset for the nation and the world. Lampung Province is a strategic region for wildlife trafficking due to its proximity to inter-island distribution routes. This condition makes Lampung one of the provinces with the highest number of wildlife confiscations in Indonesia, thus requiring increased attention from various parties. This study aims to analyze the factors causing illegal wildlife capture and trade, while also identifying mitigation efforts. The research method used is a combination of normative and empirical juridical. Data were obtained through literature review and interviews with relevant agencies, then analyzed qualitatively using an interactive approach and legal interpretation. The results show that economic factors, socio-cultural factors, education levels, environmental conditions, and hobby-based activities are the main triggers for the rise in wildlife crime. Economic motives often drive people to get involved due to the high selling price of wildlife, while socio-cultural factors and low legal awareness exacerbate the situation. An environment that supports fishing activities, along with demand from certain hobbies such as animal collecting, further increases the opportunity for violations. In response, the Lampung Regional Police, in collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) SKW III Bengkulu-Lampung, have implemented penal measures through law enforcement, as well as non-penal measures through education, outreach, and community empowerment. This study concludes that synergy between law enforcement, active community participation, and sustainable prevention strategies is key to reducing the rate of wildlife crime. With integrated collaboration, it is hoped that biodiversity can be maintained for the sustainability of the ecosystem in the future.

This research aims to analyze the crucial role of the shipping agency—specifically PT. Maritime Network Indonesia Dumai Branch—in preparing the vessel departure and arrival schedule (line-up). Line-up preparation is a strategic process that involves vessel plotting at Pelindo Dumai Port and is vital for supporting the smooth running of port operations and loading/unloading activities. The research methodology includes field research (field research) to observe direct practices at the port and literature review (library research) to reinforce the theoretical and regulatory foundations. The findings confirm that the shipping agency plays an important role in ensuring the efficiency of the port schedule. Nevertheless, in practice, the line-up preparation process faces several significant challenges. These obstacles include the limited authority of local agents in independently determining vessel plotting, restricted coordination meeting schedules, and the continued use of manual and inefficient communication methods. This lack of integrated communication often leads to inaccuracies in the initial line-up preparation, forcing agents to recalculate the previously arranged vessel positions. The conclusion of this study suggests the need for developing an integrated system that facilitates real-time communication and reporting to all relevant agencies. Adopting a digital system will enhance process efficiency, ensure proper documentation, and minimize errors, thereby accelerating the vessel plotting coordination process in the field.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Indonesia’s National Cyber Security Strategy in responding to increasingly complex and dynamic digital threats. In the midst of the digital transformation era, Indonesia’s cyberspace is vulnerable to various serious threats, such as ransomware attacks, data leaks, and the spread of disinformation that can disrupt social and political stability. This research adopts a qualitative- descriptive approach with content analysis of national strategic documents, reports from the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and compares them with cybersecurity policies in ASEAN countries. The results revealed that although BSSN has designed a relatively robust policy and institutional framework, its implementation is still faced with various serious obstacles, including fragmented regulations, lack of coordination between agencies, and limitations in terms of human resources. This study uses Dunn’s (2023) policy evaluation framework, covering the dimensions of effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness, equity and sustainability. The study recommends the need to strengthen governance involving various sectors, increase awareness and cyber literacy among the public, and develop national capacity through public private partnership. This evaluation is expected to serve as a basis for policy formulation to strengthen Indonesia’s digital resilience, especially in the face of the increasing complexity of cyber threats at the national level.

Employee loyalty is an important aspect in maintaining organizational sustainability, because high loyalty will have an impact on improving the company's performance and success in the long term. Factors such as job characteristics, work flexibility, and work motivation are thought to have an important role in influencing employee loyalty, especially in government agencies that demand high dedication. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the influence of job characteristics, work flexibility, and work motivation on employee loyalty at the Directorate General of Minerals and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a sample size of 90 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26 software, and supplemented with descriptive analysis of the primary data obtained. The results showed that the regression equation obtained was Y = 8.219 + 0.464X1 + 0.110X2 + 0.429X3. This equation indicates that job characteristics, work flexibility, and work motivation have a significant effect on employee loyalty. Partially, work flexibility is proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee loyalty. Similarly, work motivation also has a positive and significant partial effect on loyalty. This confirms that better job characteristics, greater flexibility, and stronger motivation mean higher levels of employee loyalty. This research implies that organizations need to consider job design, work system flexibility, and motivation-boosting strategies to build sustainable employee loyalty.

It reflects a practical example of how government-community partnerships can contribute to creating a healthy, equitable, and sustainable educational ecosystem.

The deployment of TNI soldiers has sparked controversy due to concerns over the strengthening of militarism in civilian institutions. This action has raised alarm among various human rights groups and political analysts who argue that it undermines the democratic principles of civilian control over military forces. The Attorney General's Office (AGO), the TNI, and the Chief of Police have publicly addressed the issue, especially the deployment of TNI soldiers to guard the AGO Complex, as well as the High Prosecutors' Offices (Kejati) and District Prosecutors' Offices (Kejari) across Indonesia. The order for this deployment was issued in the TNI Commander’s Telegram Number TR/442/2025 on May 6, 2025. This order is part of a broader effort to increase security at critical state institutions, especially in light of recent security threats. The deployment of soldiers is part of a follow-up to the cooperation agreement between the TNI and the AGO, which was formalized in the Memorandum of Understanding NK/6/IV/2023/TNI dated April 6, 2023. The agreement outlines eight points of cooperation, which include: (1) Education and training for TNI personnel in law enforcement procedures; (2) Exchange of information for law enforcement purposes, ensuring better collaboration between the military and civilian law enforcement agencies; (3) The assignment of TNI soldiers to assist in guarding AGO facilities and other law enforcement offices; and (4) Other security-related assistance, such as providing military expertise to ensure the integrity and safety of AGO operations. While the cooperation between the TNI and AGO is framed as an effort to enhance security and operational efficiency, critics argue that this deployment could lead to the militarization of civilian functions, potentially causing conflicts of interest and compromising the impartiality of the judicial system.
