Personal data dissemination is a new type of crime that has emerged in the digital world. The rapid development of technology has led to various innovations in data storage, one of which is through barcode technology. Although it provides convenience, this technology also opens up new gaps in cybercrime, especially the misuse and dissemination of personal data stored in barcodes. The impacts of the spread of personal data include damage to personal reputation due to the widespread dissemination of personal data on the internet, the emergence of cyber bullying and sexual harassment, personal data that has the potential to be sold, and the distress and psychological trauma experienced by victims of personal data dissemination. The purpose of this study is to analyze how law enforcement against perpetrators of abuse of the spread of personal data stored in barcodes is reviewed from the ITE Law and the PDP Law, and identify preventive efforts that can be made to prevent these crimes. This research uses a normative juridical approach method used to examine applicable legal norms related to personal data protection. With a statute approach, books, scientific journals, and the internet. The results showed that, although the ITE Law does not specifically regulate barcode technology, the protection of personal data stored in barcodes is still subject to the provisions of the ITE Law and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection.

Cultural diversity within the university environment is an inevitable reality, particularly within student organizations. The Student Association of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program (HMPS KPI) at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten is composed of students from various regions, each bringing distinct cultural backgrounds, languages, values, and communication styles. This study aims to examine the extent to which cultural differences influence social interaction among members of the organization, as well as how they build harmonious communication amidst these differences. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation with active members of HMPS KPI from various academic cohorts. The findings indicate that cultural differences affect communication styles, expression of ideas, decision-making processes, and perceptions of leadership structures. While such differences may sometimes lead to misunderstandings, they also serve as a strength in fostering an inclusive, open, and adaptive organizational atmosphere that welcomes diverse perspectives. In conclusion, cultural differences significantly influence social interactions within student organizations, but these challenges can be effectively managed through inclusive communication and cross-cultural understanding.

This study aims to analyze the impact of deepfake content on the level of public trust in visual information on social media. Using a between-subjects experimental design, the study involved 20 active social media user respondents in Indonesia (aged 18-45 years) who were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (exposed to deepfake content) and a control group (exposed to original content). Data were collected through a questionnaire measuring three dimensions of trust: (1) perceived authenticity of the content, (2) source credibility, and (3) emotional impact. The t-test results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the two groups, with the deepfake group having lower trust scores on all dimensions (mean score: 2.4 vs. 4.2 for content authenticity; 2.8 vs. 4.4 for source credibility; 2.7 vs. 4.0 for emotional impact). Regression analysis revealed that education level (? = 0.35) and frequency of social media use (? = -0.27) significantly affected the level of trust. Pearson correlation findings also showed a strong positive relationship between perceived authenticity of content and trust levels (r = 0.72, p < 0.001). This study concludes that exposure to deepfake content significantly reduces public trust in visual information, with the effect compounded by intensive social media use and moderated by education level. The implication is that evidence-based media literacy strategies are needed to raise public awareness about deepfake technology, as well as stricter regulation of synthetic content on digital platforms.

This study discusses the comparison of taxation systems between developed and developing countries, focusing on the strategic role of taxes in national development, tax administration challenges, and the relationship between public service quality and taxpayer compliance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, this research compares Sweden, a developed country known for its transparent and efficient tax system, with Indonesia, a developing country that still faces challenges in tax collection and administration. The findings reveal that the success of a tax system depends greatly on transparency, public service quality, and public trust. In developed countries, taxes serve not only as state revenue but also as tools for income redistribution and economic control. Meanwhile, in developing countries, the main obstacles include low compliance, legal uncertainty, weak enforcement, and underdeveloped administrative culture. Therefore, tax reform is essential to improve tax system effectiveness and public participation. This study recommends regulatory improvement, increased tax literacy, and service innovation to build a fair, transparent, and sustainable tax system.

Political debates are one of the main elements in the flow of democracy in various countries, including Indonesia. In the context of the general election held by presidential and vice presidential candidates in 2024, the 5th debate is a crucial moment in the political campaign. This study aims to analyze the various communication patterns carried out by each presidential and vice presidential candidate pair in the 5th debate in 2024. The content analysis method is used to identify and analyze the communication methods used by the candidate pairs. Data were obtained from debate transcriptions and analyzed qualitatively to reveal communication patterns, including word choice, speaking style, use of rhetoric, framing, and argumentation strategies. The results of the study show variations in communication patterns between candidate pairs. Each candidate pair uses different communication strategies in their efforts to influence public opinion. Differences in the use of language, rhetoric, and message focus were found between the candidate pairs, reflecting differences in their campaign strategies. This study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of political communication in the context of political debates in Indonesia. The results of the analysis can provide valuable insights into the understanding of political communication strategies in the democratic process, and provide a foundation for subsequent researchers in this scientific field.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in supporting regional economic development. However, inefficient inventory management remains a significant challenge in operational effectiveness. This study aims to analyze raw material inventory control at Kebab & Burger Foursist MSME in Tarakan City using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Reorder Point (ROP) methods. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing annual sales data, ordering costs, and storage costs of main raw materials. The results indicate that the implementation of EOQ and ROP effectively determines the optimal purchase quantity and reorder timing, thereby minimizing total inventory costs and reducing the risk of stockouts or overstocking. The use of POM-QM for Windows software enhances the accuracy of the analysis. The implications of this study offer practical solutions for MSME actors in managing raw material procurement more efficiently and systematically.
