The enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code brought fundamental changes to the regulation of the crime of adultery in Indonesia. The expansion of the scope of criminalization, including regulations regarding extramarital relationships, has given rise to debate regarding its compliance with the principles of the formation of laws and regulations and its impact on criminal law enforcement. This study aims to analyze the provisions of the adultery article in the new Criminal Code from the perspective of the principles of the formation of laws and regulations and assess its implications for the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. This study uses a normative legal research method with a legislative and conceptual approach. Legal materials were obtained through literature studies and analyzed qualitatively and juridically. The results show that the regulation of the crime of adultery in the new Criminal Code has a clear normative purpose, but still leaves issues regarding the clarity of formulation, legal certainty, and potential human rights violations. Furthermore, the application of the adultery article has the potential to create obstacles in law enforcement practices, particularly related to evidence, caseload, and the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Therefore, further evaluation is needed to ensure that these regulations align with the principles of sound legislative development and ensure legal justice.

Character formation is a fundamental component of Islamic education, particularly in responding to the growing challenges of moral decline and the weakening of students’ manners in contemporary learning environments. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the classical text Risalat Adab Suluk al-Murid in shaping student character through the integration of seven good habits at SMPIQu Al-Bahjah Cianjur. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation to explore how the values of adab are internalized and reflected in students’ daily behavior. The findings indicate that the learning of this classical text strengthens students’ discipline, respect toward teachers, sense of responsibility, and enthusiasm for learning. The internalization process occurs not only during classroom activities but also through daily routines such as morning habits, worship practices, time management, and social interactions within the school environment. The seven good habits function as a practical framework that reinforces the application of sufistic values taught in the text, allowing students to translate moral teachings into consistent actions. Teachers play a crucial role as role models who guide, demonstrate, and cultivate these values through continuous supervision and exemplary conduct. The study concludes that classical Islamic text-based learning offers an effective strategy for enhancing student character within modern Islamic educational settings. The implications highlight the need for schools to strengthen adab-centered curricula, cultivate ethical school culture, and promote collaboration among teachers, institutions, and families to ensure sustainable character development.

This community service activity was carried out to increase students' understanding of the dangers of drug abuse and its impact on academic achievement and the future of the younger generation at SMK Negeri 1 Pagelaran.

The community service program was designed using interactive socialization and education methods that included direct counseling, educational video screenings, group discussions, and the provision of supporting media in the form of leaflets as a means of reinforcing the material. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' knowledge and understanding regarding the risks of drug abuse, particularly its impact on decreased learning concentration, physical and mental health disorders, and weakened motivation and academic achievement. In addition, students showed high enthusiasm during the activity and were able to identify internal and external factors that can encourage and prevent involvement in drug abuse. This activity made a positive contribution to the school as a preventive effort and became the basis for the development of a sustainable and more comprehensive drug prevention program.

This community service activity aims to improve the quality of students' reading of the Qur'an through the application of the Tilawati method with an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach at TPQ Roudhatul Jannah, Sindangkerta Village, Pagelaran District, Cianjur Regency. TPQ previously did not have a structured tahsin learning method so that students' abilities developed unevenly. The implementation of the program is carried out through five stages of ABCD: discovery, dream, design, define & deliver, and destiny. Activities start from identifying community assets, compiling common expectations, training planning, implementing classical and individual Tilawati learning, to evaluating the sustainability of the program through munaqosah. The results showed an increase in the ability of students in the aspects of tajweed, makhraj, and fluency in reading. TPQ teachers are also able to master the Tilawati method so that learning can continue independently after the program is completed. In addition, this activity strengthens collaboration between the community, teachers, and volunteers in creating a more effective learning environment. This program proves that the empowerment of community assets and the application of the Tilawati method are able to improve the quality of tahsin of students while strengthening the sustainability of community-based Qur'an learning.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economy by contributing significantly to GDP and absorbing a large share of the workforce. However, MSMEs continue to face major challenges, including limited business legality, low human resource (HR) capacity, and difficulties in obtaining halal certification. To address these issues, the government established the Integrated Business Service Center (PLUT) as a consultation, assistance, and facilitation hub for MSME development. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the PLUT policy in supporting MSMEs, focusing on the issuance of Business Identification Numbers (NIB), capacity building for human resources, and facilitation of halal certification. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using Miles & Huberman’s interactive model and Edwards III’s framework, which emphasizes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings reveal that PLUT plays a crucial role in helping MSMEs secure business legality, providing training and managerial assistance, and supporting the halal certification process. Nevertheless, challenges remain, such as the limited number of consultants, bureaucratic complexity, and unequal access to digital infrastructure, which hinder the overall effectiveness of the services. The implications of this study highlight the need to strengthen PLUT’s capacity by recruiting more professional consultants, digitalizing services, and integrating with the OSS and BPJPH systems. These steps are expected to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of PLUT’s implementation, thereby improving the competitiveness of MSMEs in the era of digital transformation.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in driving economic growth at both local and regional levels, including in Malang Regency. Their presence not only creates new job opportunities but also stimulates the economic activities of local communities. Nevertheless, SME actors still face a number of significant challenges. These include limited capital, incomplete business legality, low managerial capacity, and restricted access to wider markets. Such conditions often hinder SMEs from optimizing their competitiveness. This research aims to examine the implementation of SME empowerment programs carried out by the Cooperative and Micro Business Office in Kepanjen, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The findings reveal that SME empowerment was implemented through various programs, such as training to enhance skills, continuous business mentoring, facilitation of access to financing through financial institutions, and product promotion via exhibitions and digital platforms. These programs have provided positive impacts by strengthening the capacity and visibility of SMEs in the region. The success of these programs is supported by the strong commitment of the local government, synergy among institutions, and active participation of SME actors. On the other hand, several obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy among entrepreneurs, difficulties in obtaining financing due to legal constraints, and complex bureaucratic processes. The results of this research emphasize that SME empowerment requires adaptive strategies, continuous mentoring, and proper program mapping in accordance with local conditions.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the imprest method in petty cash management to enhance the effectiveness of daily operations at the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Es Iso Lego, located in Rungkut Madya, Surabaya. The research is motivated by common issues among MSMEs that still apply simple petty cash systems without fixed balances, leading to inaccurate records and weak financial control. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through direct interviews with the business owner, observation of daily operational activities, and documentation of purchase receipts and digital financial records. The findings reveal that the petty cash system at Es Iso Lego has not fully applied the imprest method principles, as the cash balance remains fluctuating and is not maintained consistently. Although each expenditure is supported by receipts, the recording process lacks systematic structure. The results imply that applying the imprest method is essential to improve efficiency, accountability, and internal control in MSME financial management. A fixed-balance petty cash system with proper documentation enables business owners to better monitor daily expenses and ensure financial transparency.

Abstract. Domestic workers as informal workers require special attention and protection from formal workers. Domestic workers are classified as informal workers, so the Employment Law cannot be used to protect them. In this case, the protection provided is in the form of balancing the rights and responsibilities of Domestic Workers and employers, as well as ensuring safety so that Domestic Workers can obtain decent work. Indonesia is a country that prioritizes the protection of human rights by upholding the values ​​of human dignity and dignity as a whole. However, in Indonesia there are no comprehensive laws and regulations to protect local workers. Qualitative analysis was used to compile this study. This study is normative juridical, focusing on the study of the application of positive legal rules or norms. The results of the author's research show that domestic workers are considered vulnerable to various weaknesses in carrying out their duties. This shows the importance of protection for domestic workers. Therefore, the Law on the Protection of Domestic Workers provides protection for domestic workers while also providing protection for employers, especially in terms of ensuring a fair balance between the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
