This study analyzes the regulatory gaps in digital forensics regarding the handling of natural resource crimes and the state’s constitutional responsibilities following the enactment of Law No. 1 of 2024. Modern natural resource crimes, such as illegal logging and illegal mining, have evolved to leverage digital technology, leaving complex electronic traces in the form of GPS data and digital documents. However, Indonesia still faces procedural gaps in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), unclear technical standards (SNI 27037:2014 is voluntary in nature), and conflicts between the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE) and sectoral NRE laws. This normative legal study employs legislative, conceptual, and case-based approaches. The research findings indicate that the absence of digital forensic authentication standards has fatal implications, as evidenced by the Sidoarjo District Court Decision No. 488/Pid.B/2024/PN Sda, which rejected electronic evidence. This situation constitutes state negligence (staatsverzuim) that violates Article 1(3) and Article 33(3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The study recommends the development of standard digital forensic procedures, the acceleration of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation, and the harmonization of sectoral regulations

Elsheskin is a local skincare brand from Yogyakarta, which is under the auspices of PT Elshe Estetika Nusantara. In October 2024, it was circulated that Elsheskin had overclaimed the content of skincare products, because the retinol content in Elsheskin's retinol rejuvenating night serum product was proven to be inconsistent with laboratory test results. This overclaim case has damaged Elsheskin's image. The purpose of this study is to measure Elsheskin's crisis communication in dealing with the case of overclaiming the content of skincare products, Elsheskin's image after conducting crisis communication and how much influence the crisis communication of the case of overclaiming the content of skincare products has on Elsheskin's image. The theory used is the crisis communication theory (Coombs, 2019) which consists of the pre-crisis stage, the crisis event stage and the post-crisis stage. This study also uses the Image theory (Boulding, 2007) which consists of knowledge, feelings, values ​​and beliefs. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a survey method and a simple random sampling technique by distributing paper questionnaires to 80 respondents selected according to the characteristics of the study. From the results of calculations and data processing using the SPSS 25 application, namely: a) Elsheskin has carried out crisis communication well in accordance with crisis communication theory. b) Elsheskin has succeeded in restoring its image due to the overclaim case. c) There is an influence of crisis communication in the case of overclaiming skincare product content on Elsheskin's image of 59.2%.

Modern society faces multidimensional complexities, ranging from spiritual crises and technological disruption to social inequality. Muslims, with their theological and intellectual capital, are often perceived as suboptimal in responding to these challenges contextually and applicatively. This article aims to analyze the fundamental problems faced by Muslims in formulating answers to the problems of modern society and to explore the strategic role of Islamic higher education institutions, specifically the Muhammadiyah University of Malaysia (UMAM), in bridging this gap. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at UMAM. Data was collected through literature study, observation, and structured interviews with academics and policymakers at UMAM. The findings indicate that the main problems lie in: (1) the dichotomy between naqli and aqli sciences, (2) a static approach to religious texts, and (3) a lack of integrative and innovative solution models. UMAM strives to address these issues through three main strategies: integration of knowledge in the curriculum, problem-based research, and empowering community engagement. This article concludes that UMAM has the potential to become a model social laboratory of Islam that combines the Muhammadiyah renewal ethos with the Malaysian socio-cultural context to produce relevant, humanist, and rahmatan lil 'alamin solutions.

This research originated from a concern about the existence of villages that are factually underdeveloped, but aren't recognized as 3T (Terdepan, Tertinggal, dan Terdepan) regions in the national regulatory framework. This research was conducted in Kabupaten Banyumas, which consists of 301 villages, with several villages indicated to be underdeveloped. Through the analysis of secondary data from BPS, Dinsospermades, and Bappedalitbang Banyumas, this study took 6 sample villages to analyze in order to understand the pattern of underdevelopment that is not covered by the formal 3T status. The purpose of this study is to highlight the reality of de facto remote areas that aren’t administratively recognized as 3T areas, and therefore don't have access to special funding schemes, and to examine the potential for replication of 3T area policies that can be adapted in Kabupaten Banyumas, with adjustments to local characteristics. Using a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews with village government officials, this research mapped the needs, barriers, and opportunities for more contextualized policy interventions. This research recommends the development of a planning and budgeting model based on local needs and a social justice approach in the distribution of development resources. Thus, Banyumas can become an alternative policy laboratory to address development inequality outside the formal framework of the 3T regions.  

The livestock sector in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, has great potential but is often threatened by outbreaks of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), which cause significant economic losses. This study aims to evaluate the FMD control policies implemented by the Gowa Regency Government based on William Dunn's six policy evaluation criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The study used a qualitative approach with primary data collected through in-depth interviews with key informants from the Livestock and Animal Health Division of the Gowa Regency Livestock and Plantation Service and supporting data from various literature. The findings show that the FMD control policy is effective in achieving zero cases, but efficiency is hampered by limited medical personnel (only two veterinarians) and operational budget dependence entirely on the Central Government. Vaccine adequacy is a pull sistem (demand-driven) and compensation distribution is carried out fairly. Community responsiveness increased after severe losses, and policy accuracy was considered most optimal in the implementation of biosecurity and sanitation while promoting vaccination. As a recommendation, the Gowa Government needs to recruit contract workers in the field of animal health, allocate funds for the procurement of operational vehicles and equipment to support laboratory facilities, and issue a Regent Regulation that strictly regulates the implementation of biosecurity and livestock housing patterns in high-risk areas.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the legal status of narcotics abusers after the hand-holding operation. This type of research is normative legal research with a legislative approach, a case approach and a conceptual approach. The analysis used in this study is qualitative data analysis through the management of legal materials in a deductive way. Based on the research, the results of the research were obtained that in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, it is stated that after the arrest operation or after the seizure, within a minimum of 3 x 24 hours an evidence test must be carried out to ensure the narcotic content found, then this can have implications for the legal status of a person arrested in the arrest operation. A person caught in a narcotics case can have several possible legal statuses, including; as an arrested witness, if he is only at the scene of the incident without direct evidence of his involvement; as a suspect, if there is preliminary evidence that he possesses or uses narcotics; as a person without legal status who is temporarily detained, if his status is still waiting for the results of laboratory tests of evidence. Therefore, it is necessary to update regulations through the revision of the Narcotics Law which must contain clear time limits on how a person who is caught must be treated before the results of the evidence test come out..

The purpose of this research is to examine and analyze the validity of scientific crime investigation as evidence in the process of proving murder cases and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using the scientific crime investigation method in crime scene processing carried out by forensic laboratories. Then the method used in this research is the normative legal research method. The results of the study show that the scientific crime investigation method, which is expressed in concrete form through forensic laboratory examinations and information from police forensic experts, is the central point. In connecting the relationship between the perpetrator, victim and evidence with the crime scene, the construction of evidence for a criminal act becomes stronger and can give confidence to the judge in deciding a case fairly and in accordance with the actual facts. In the case of the crime of murder with poison, the statements of the witnesses and the statements of the two defendants were linked and interconnected with each other after the scientific crime investigation method was applied; The advantages and disadvantages of using scientific crime investigation methods in crime scene processing carried out by forensic laboratories include. The advantages and disadvantages of using scientific crime investigation methods in crime scene processing carried out by forensic laboratories include: (1). The advantage of implementing scientific crime investigation is that uncovering cases using old methods full of violence, intervention, etc. has been abandoned. (2) Fast, precise and accurate inspection supported by special tools that have been internationally standardized, (3) Minimizing errors made before SCI implementation (manual patterns replaced with digital patterns). Meanwhile, the weaknesses are: Internal side of the SatKer (Work Unit): the number of human resources who supervise and understand the use of Special Tools (Alsus) is limited, the special equipment, both primary and secondary, is expensive. If we look at the human resources that this country has, it should be enough to assist the Forensic Laboratory team in supervision and are people who understand the special tools that support the performance of the Forensic Laboratory. Apart from that, the government should be more respectful of the procurement of these special tools, even though not everyone has to always use these special tools. However, these tools are very useful for the smooth running of investigations and/or investigations. Because the resulting examination data is much more detailed and accurate.

Employee performance is a determinant factor in achieving organisational political goals, including in the context of organisational service decline. This study aims to analyse the quality of political actor interactions in organisations through various dimensions of employee performance, at the Salatiga Environmental Health Laboratory (BBLKL), Ministry of Health. The research approach used is complementary quantitative research. The data collection method was conducted by survey. The results showed that partially, work quality, responsibility, and teamwork have a significant influence on the quality of interaction of political actors in the organisation. The quality of work dimension has the strongest influence with a t-count value of 4.623. Responsibility and teamwork also show significant influence with t_count values of 2.787 and 2.728 respectively. However, the work ability dimension does not show a significant influence on the quality of interaction of political actors in the organisation with a t-count value of 1.626. Simultaneously, the four dimensions of employee performance have a significant influence on the quality of interaction of political actors in the organisation, indicated by the F_hitung value of 75.. The regression model used is able to explain 69.5% of the variation in the quality of employee performance, while the remaining 30.5% is explained by other factors not studied. Based on these findings, it is recommended to improve the quality of employee performance through an elite performance evaluation system of political actors as leaders, strengthening the sense of responsibility and teamwork, and leaders re-evaluating the work ability dimension.
