Single-candidate regional elections have recently attracted significant attention, as previous regulations did not adequately address scenarios where fewer than two candidate pairs were running. The 2018 Makassar mayoral election, where the "Empty Box" (Kotak Kosong) emerged victorious against a single candidate, highlights a critical constitutional issue: whether such an outcome is consistent with the principles of democratic electoral integrity. In elections featuring only one candidate pair, the ballot contains two columns—one with the candidate's photo and name, and the other left blank. The constitutionality of allowing the "Empty Box" to win in such circumstances poses significant questions about the fairness of the electoral process and the safeguarding of citizens' constitutional rights. This research critically examines the legal implications of this electoral anomaly and explores the necessity for clear legislative frameworks governing single-candidate elections. The case offers important lessons for Indonesia’s political and electoral systems, emphasizing the need for constitutional and electoral reforms to protect citizens' rights—both the right to vote and the right to be elected—even when only one candidate is on the ballot. Furthermore, it underscores the urgency of political education for both political parties and the electorate to foster a more informed political culture. By analyzing the legal precedents, constitutional principles, and broader implications, this study contributes to the discourse on electoral reform, ensuring that Indonesia’s electoral system remains robust, fair, and reflective of democratic values.

Perkembangan teknologi digital di Indonesia telah memberikan banyak manfaat dalam berbagai sektor seperti pemerintahan, keuangan, pendidikan, dan kesehatan. Namun, kemajuan ini juga diiringi dengan peningkatan kejahatan siber, seperti peretasan, penipuan digital, pencurian identitas, dan ransomware, yang mengancam keamanan nasional dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Regulasi seperti UU ITE dan UU PDP telah diterapkan, tetapi tantangan dalam implementasi dan adaptasi terhadap dinamika teknologi tetap signifikan. Indonesia menghadapi kesenjangan dalam penegakan hukum siber, termasuk kurangnya kapasitas teknis aparat hukum, rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat tentang keamanan digital, serta keterbatasan kerjasama internasional untuk menangani kejahatan siber lintas batas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan eksploratif. Data diperoleh dari dokumen hukum, laporan pemerintah, studi kasus, artikel jurnal, dan literatur akademik. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan metode tematik untuk mengidentifikasi pola, tantangan, dan efektivitas kebijakan kriminal terkait kejahatan siber. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan siber di Indonesia memerlukan penguatan, terutama dalam hal implementasi, edukasi publik, dan adaptasi teknologi. Contoh dari Amerika Serikat dan Uni Eropa menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi antara pemerintah dan sektor swasta, regulasi perlindungan data yang ketat, dan kampanye edukasi dapat meningkatkan ketahanan terhadap ancaman siber. Penelitian ini menyarankan penguatan UU ITE dan UU PDP, literasi digital bagi masyarakat, peningkatan kompetensi aparat hukum, kerjasama internasional, serta pembentukan jaringan pertukaran informasi siber untuk menciptakan ekosistem keamanan digital yang tangguh, efektif, dan responsif terhadap perkembangan teknologi.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in the economy by creating jobs and fostering local economic growth. However, MSMEs, especially in the culinary sector, often face challenges in managing finances, including accurately calculating the Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM). COGM, which includes raw materials, labor, and overhead costs, is essential for setting appropriate prices and maintaining profitability. Miscalculations can lead to inaccurate pricing, impacting competitiveness and profit margins. This study analyzes COGM calculations at U&Mie, a culinary MSME known for its chili oil chicken noodles, to understand its pricing strategy. Findings from this research and prior studies by Harefa and Purwanto reveal that the full-costing method provides consistent results, highlighting the need for comprehensive COGM calculations to avoid overlooking variables that could affect pricing. This study aims to offer guidance for MSMEs in managing production costs and setting prices effectively, enhancing their market competitiveness.

One of the areas worked on in school-based management is financing management. Good financing management is necessary because it is believed that with efficient and effective school financial management, errors, leakages, and variations in the use of funds from the original plan and goals will be avoided. Schools are empowered to assess their own needs through school-based financing management, which transfers control over budget allocation and use to schools. To completely reduce dependence on government funding, schools are also allowed to engage in income-generating activities. Financing management needs to be carried out carefully, diligently, and comply with relevant regulations when implementing school-based management. The preparation of school revenue and expenditure budget plans (RAPBS) as well as various forms and sources of school funding are all included in the idea of school-based financing management.

Candi Sumberawan adalah salah satu cagar budaya di Kabupaten Malang. Terletak di tengah hutan pinus, candi ini dikelola oleh Perum Perhutani KPH Malang. Sebagai cagar budaya, sudah semestinya candi ini dikelola oleh Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Kabupaten Malang. Namun, status quo menunjukkan sebaliknya, terdapat tumpang tindih kewenangan antara Perum Perhutani KPH Malang dan Disparbud Kabupaten Malang. Regulasi pengelolaan cagar budaya di Kabupaten Malang telah diatur dalam Peraturan Bupati Nomor 49 Tahun 2016 tentang Kedudukan, Susunan, Organisasi, Tugas dan Fungsi, Serta Tata Kerja Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Kabupaten Malang. Dalam Perbup tersebut, diatur kewenangan Disparbud Kabupaten Malang untuk menjalankan fungsi pengelolaan cagar budaya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui kewenangan Perum Perhutani KPH Malang, Disparbud Kabupaten Malang, dan mengetahui perbandingan kewenangan kedua lembaga tersebut dalam mengelola cagar budaya, serta menganalisis pergeseran fungsi Perum Perhutani KPH Malang melalui regulasi a quo. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan bahan analisis berupa bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan bahan hukum tersier. Bahan hukum primer yang digunakan adalah regulasi yang mengatur tentang kewenangan pengelolaan cagar budaya. Kemudian, bahan hukum sekunder yang digunakan adalah buku, jurnal, artikel, hasil penelitian sebelumnya, dan pendapat ahli. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pergeseran fungsi dan kewenangan dalam pengelolaan Candi Sumberawan. Pergeseran tersebut ditunjukkan dengan dikelolanya Candi Sumberawan oleh Perum Perhutani KPH Malang, padahal secara yuridis sebagai cagar budaya seharusnya Candi tersebut dikelola Disparbud Kabupaten Malang. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan adanya harmonisasi peraturan terkait kewenangan dalam pengelolaan Candi Sumberawan antara Perum Perhutani KPH Malang dengan Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Kabupaten Malang.

In Indonesia, numerous initiatives have been implemented to address the issue of stunting; however, these efforts have yet to yield optimal results. This study aims to critically evaluate the effectiveness of an extension program that utilizes a dialogical approach in modifying maternal behaviors related to the provision of adequate nutrition for their children. In the context of non-formal education, extension serves as a crucial learning process for adults, particularly in enhancing their overall quality of life. The research was conducted using a quantitative methodology, employing survey techniques to gather data, which were subsequently analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. This study is among the first to empirically compare dialogical and traditional extension approaches within the context of rural Indonesia, providing robust quantitative evidence that interactive, collaborative learning environments significantly outperform conventional one-way communica-tion models in promoting sustainable behavioral changes among mothers. The findings reveal that the extension program, when executed with a dialogical approach, exerts a significant positive influence on altering mothers' nutritional practices for their children. This outcome stands in stark contrast to traditional, linear extension models, which typically rely on one-way communication from the instructor to the participants. In contrast, the dialogical approach fosters an interactive environment where mothers are encouraged not only to ask questions and share personal experiences but also to engage in a more collaborative learning process that ultimately enhances their behavioral change towards better nutrition.

This article aims to describe the implementation of the Madrasah Education Section's Educator and Education Personnel Management Information System (SIMPATIKA) at the Palangka Raya City Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The main focus in this research includes: implementation, effectiveness of use, and inhibiting factors of SIMPATIKA implementation. This research was conducted qualitatively with data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that: 1) The implementation of SIMPATIKA has been carried out by the Madrasah Education Section at the Palangka Raya City Ministry of Religious Affairs Office, which is managed by SIMPATIKA Special operators.2) The effectiveness of using SIMPATIKA as a madrasah data management system has not been fully realized.3) The inhibiting factors of SIMPATIKA implementation are mainly caused by the ignorance of some teachers in accessing the management information system for educators and education personnel (PTK). This has led to the delegation of SIMPATIKA account management to madrasah operators, whereas the account should be managed individually by each educator. The proposed solution is to hold technical guidance on the SIMPATIKA management information system, and provide an understanding of the rights and responsibilities in using individual SIMPATIKA accounts..
