Law Number 1 Year 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP) is a form of national criminal law reform that recognises the existence of customary criminal law. However, it has not been regulated in detail how the implementation and position of customary criminal law as a reason for criminal prosecution, and there are fundamental differences between the two concepts of the legal system. The problems in this research are how the position between customary criminal law and national criminal law in the new Criminal Code, how the legal certainty of the regulation of customary criminal law in the new Criminal Code, and how the challenges in enforcing customary criminal law using the current criminal justice system in Indonesia. This research uses normative juridical method with regulatory and conceptual approaches. The results show that the applicability of customary criminal law is limited to the area where the law lives and applies to customary criminal acts committed in the area where the law lives. The position of customary criminal law can be valid as a reason for criminal prosecution if the customary law that is still alive in the community has been stipulated in the form of Regional Regulations, and customary offences that are similar to offences in the New Criminal Code will be ruled out, and the classification of customary sanctions as additional sanctions, positioning customary penalties to be complementary or secondary, because additional sanctions can only be imposed together with the main sanctions. Legal certainty towards the regulation of customary criminal law is highly dependent on the formulation of the elements of each offence of customary criminal law stipulated in regional regulations. The current criminal justice system in Indonesia (KUHAP) cannot realise the objectives of customary criminal law. The objectives, characteristics, and procedures in the concept of customary law are contrary to those in the criminal justice system. Restorative Justice can be utilised as an alternative to the settlement of customary criminal cases when the New Criminal Code comes into effect.

Violations of campaign regulations in Indonesian elections, such as using places of worship for legislative candidate campaigns, remain common and are strictly prohibited under Article 521 in conjunction with Article 280 paragraph (1) letter h of Law Number 7 of 2017 on Elections. A notable case is the decision of the Kotabumi District Court Number 43/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Kbu, which sentenced a legislative candidate to one month of imprisonment and a fine of IDR 5 million. This study analyzes the judge’s considerations in this case using normative and empirical juridical approaches through literature reviews and interviews. The findings show that the judge considered juridical, philosophical, and sociological aspects, not only relying on formal legality but also on social and moral values within the community. Factors influencing the judge’s considerations include personal integrity, institutional pressure, and understanding of law and justice. The sentence was imposed as a form of guidance and deterrence, not merely punishment. The study recommends enhancing judges’ understanding of philosophical and sociological values through continuous training, active legal education by the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) to political parties and the public, and regulatory evaluation to ensure laws adapt to social changes. Judges are expected to maintain independence and act firmly without interference to establish a clean and integrity-based judicial system.  

Organizing government affairs in the land sector is The National Land Agency (BPN) holds the authority to manage land-related affairs, including the administrative resolution of land disputes within its jurisdiction.The foundation for BPN's ability to act as a mediator and assist the parties in identifying several options for settling conflicts without resorting to decision-making or coercion is Regulation of the Head of BPN No. 11 of 2016. To put it another way, this research approach combines qualitative legal data analysis with a normative legal research methodology. Land disputes that fall under BPN's purview are the focus of this study. A peace agreement signed by involving the disputing parties and the mediator, along with documented proceedings of the mediation process signed by the mediator, document the agreement achieved in the event that mediation is successful. The peace accord that the BPN mediator mediated is exclusively.

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand awareness and product innovation on purchase decisions, with purchase intention as a mediating variable, among consumers of Kedai Kopi KULO. The research is motivated by the declining Top Brand Index of Kedai Kopi KULO over the past five years, indicating a potential drop in purchase decisions due to weak brand awareness and limited product innovation. A quantitative approach was used, employing Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the SmartPLS software. The results show that brand awareness does not have a direct and significant effect on purchase decisions, whereas product innovation has a positive and significant effect. Furthermore, both brand awareness and product innovation positively and significantly influence purchase intention, which in turn significantly mediates their effect on purchase decisions. These findings indicate that purchase intention plays a crucial role in bridging the influence of brand awareness and product innovation on consumers’ purchase decisions. Therefore, businesses should focus on enhancing product innovation strategies and increasing consumer purchase intention, along with building strong brand awareness, to improve purchase decisions and maintain competitiveness in an increasingly saturated market.

Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems have become a fundamental component of hospital information systems, aiming to improve the quality, efficiency, and continuity of patient care. However, the success of EMR implementation depends largely on user satisfaction. This study investigates user satisfaction with the EMR system implemented at Dr. Soetarto (DKT) Hospital, a mid-tier hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research addresses issues related to usability, data accuracy, and system responsiveness that potentially hinder effective EMR usage. The objective is to evaluate user satisfaction using the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) framework, which consists of five dimensions: content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. A quantitative approach was applied through a structured questionnaire distributed to 40 healthcare workers, including medical records staff, nurses, pharmacists, and administrative personnel. Data analysis using Spearman correlation revealed significant positive relationships among all EUCS dimensions, with the strongest association found between format and ease of use. The findings indicate that while users are generally satisfied with the system’s performance, improvements are still needed in timely data retrieval and user interface consistency. This study highlights the critical need for continuous system evaluation and end-user involvement to optimize EMR functionality and healthcare service delivery.

Technological developments over the past few decades have brought about major changes in the world of art. One of the most striking advances is the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), which is now not only a tool but also capable of creating works of art independently. This situation raises an important question in the world of contemporary art: how can human artists remain relevant and maintain the originality of their work amid the emergence of machine-generated artworks? This study aims to explore how technology, particularly AI, influences the creation, distribution, and reception of artworks. The primary focus of the research is on public perceptions of technology's role in art today. Through the distribution of questionnaires to the community around the researcher, the results obtained will show that the presence of technology has changed the way the relationship between artists, works, and audiences is formed. Digital technology opens up new possibilities in artistic creation, but simultaneously raises ethical and existential challenges for artists. Nevertheless, questions arise about how curation, authenticity, and aesthetic value are maintained in art. Therefore, this research emphasizes the importance of adaptation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and support from inclusive policies and ecosystems to enable artists to continue to thrive in the dynamically evolving art landscape.
