LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE TRANSFER OF FUNCTION OF TRADITIONAL LAND INTO OIL PALM PLANTATIONS PERSPECTIVE OF THE MURSALAH PROBLEM

2025-04-28T23:12:04+07:00

Customary land is land controlled by certain customary communities in areas spread throughout Indonesia. Customary land law is independent because the existing legal norms are living norms that are followed by sanctions and obeyed by the community and the relevant institutions. In the transfer of the function of customary land by the private sector to customary land, it certainly gives a negative response from the community. Maslahah mursalah becomes a source of law where the taking of the land is detrimental to the community, because all sources of life from customary land have provided prosperity, especially if the private sector builds oil palm plantations, the community loses the land that supports various lives. This study uses a normative type taken from library materials.

This article aims to examine how the "I Love Me" movement utilizes social media to challenge conventional beauty standards and promote values of diversity and self-acceptance. The urgency of this research arises from significant issues faced by modern society, where social media often promotes beauty standards that are not only unrealistic but also exclusive and detrimental. These standards can potentially cause body image disorders and social anxiety, especially among teenagers and adults, making this research not only academically relevant but also crucial for public health and social policy. This research employs a qualitative approach with netnographic methods within a constructivist paradigm to understand the dynamics of communication and self-representation on social media related to the "I Love Me" movement.

The study involved purposively selected participants, including supervisors, event coordinators, field staff, and liaison officers, based on their direct experience with team communication. The findings reveal that nonverbal elements such as facial expressions, eye contact, hand gestures, and body posture play crucial roles in conveying instructions, fostering team unity, and building trust among team members and with clients. However, challenges such as cultural differences in interpreting nonverbal cues and high work pressure sometimes hinder effective communication. The study concludes that nonverbal communication serves as a vital tool in creating cohesive teamwork and a harmonious working atmosphere in EO environments. Practically, this research implies the need for structured nonverbal communication training for EO staff to improve coordination and minimize misunderstandings. Academically, it contributes to the development of organizational communication studies and offers a foundation for future research in creative industries and other high-pressure work settings.

This strategy proved effective in shifting public sentiment from negative to more positive and reinforcing a humanitarian-based brand image. The study highlights the importance of a timely, data-driven, and values-oriented crisis communication response in addressing geopolitical pressure in the digital age.

REBU IN THE SPEECH NORM SYSTEM OF THE KARO COMMUNITY: CHALLENGES AND ADAPTATIONS IN THE MODERN ERA

2025-05-07T18:00:25+07:00

Rebu is a traditional speech norm in the Karo community that prohibits direct face-to-face communication between in-laws of opposite genders and siblings-in-law. This norm plays a crucial role in maintaining respect, social harmony, and family hierarchy. However, modernization and changing lifestyles have influenced the understanding and practice of rebu, especially among the younger generation. This study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore the meanings, perceptions, and implementation of rebu within the Karo community. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 informants from Naman Teran Village and validated using triangulation techniques. Findings indicate that rebu is still recognized as a vital cultural norm symbolizing respect and politeness. The younger generation generally understands the concept, though with more flexible interpretations. In young households, rebu is practiced with adaptations, such as the use of intermediaries or digital communication, to accommodate modern social contexts. Despite external influences of globalization and technology, the core values of rebu persist as a mechanism for maintaining family harmony and social order. Adaptation in practice reflects the community's efforts to balance tradition and modernity, ensuring the continuity of cultural identity.

With these improvements, the application is expected to become a more inclusive, responsive, and sustainable tourism promotion platform in the digital era.

LEGAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE CONFISCATION OF CORRUPTION ASSETS: IMPLICATIONS FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

2025-05-24T23:52:49+07:00

This study examines the legal impact of the policy on the confiscation of assets derived from corruption on human rights in Indonesia, focusing on property rights and the presumption of innocence. A qualitative approach is used, combining normative legal analysis with empirical case studies through observation and documentation of asset confiscation cases in Indonesia. The findings indicate that while asset confiscation is a key tool in fighting corruption, its implementation faces legal challenges that jeopardize citizens' constitutional rights. Issues include asset confiscation without a final court decision (inkracht) and inadequate legal protection for third parties acting in good faith. The study suggests the need for policy reforms to strengthen evidence mechanisms, improve transparency, ensure independent oversight, and offer clearer legal protections. These reforms are essential to balancing the fight against corruption with respect for human rights in Indonesia’s legal system. Further research should focus on empirical case examples and a broader theoretical discussion.

ANALYSIS OF THE LAVENDER MARRIAGE PHENOMENON AND ITS CHALLENGES TO FAMILY LAW IN INDONESIA

2025-05-21T15:07:41+07:00

The phenomenon of lavender marriage—a marriage between heterosexual and homosexual individuals based on social or cultural motives to maintain the image or fulfill family expectations—is a real challenge in family law practice in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the forms, motivations, and legal, social, and psychological implications of this practice. Using a qualitative approach with normative-sociological methods, data were obtained through interviews and literature studies which were then analyzed thematically. The findings show that although lavender marriage is administratively valid, this practice is contrary to the maqashid of marriage according to Islamic law and Law Number 1 of 1974, because it ignores the principles of honesty, the goal of building a family, and protection of partners and children. This study emphasizes the importance of a more adaptive regulatory response and social education to prevent the misuse of the institution of marriage as a tool for identity camouflage. This research contributes to the development of family law policies that are more responsive to contemporary social dynamics.

The phenomenon of self-diagnosis has become increasingly prevalent among university students, particularly in Medan, Indonesia, where digital information is widely accessible. This study highlights the importance of investigating self-diagnosis practices among students in a local context characterised by diverse socio-cultural backgrounds and a high level of social media usage. The research aims to explore students’ perceptions, focusing on how self-diagnosis affects their mental health and the patterns of acceptance formed around it. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological method was employed, involving in-depth interviews with ten purposively selected students from public universities in Medan. Thematic coding was used to analyse the data, guided by Stuart Hall’s audience reception theory, categorising students into dominant, negotiation, and opposition groups. Findings reveal that students with dominant acceptance readily trust unverified online mental health content, while those in negotiation display partial acceptance with cautious evaluation, and the opposition group critically rejects such content in favour of professional consultation. The study contributes to the existing literature by integrating social and digital contexts in understanding self-diagnosis practices and proposes the development of educational interventions and policy recommendations to improve students' critical engagement with digital mental health information.

2025-05-31T22:03:03+07:00

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the impact of Social Media Comparison can influence body image formation among young adults, especially Instagram users. This study is a field research with a descriptive qualitative research design. The data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used in this study is the interactive model approach by Miles & Huberman, which consists of three stages: reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study prove that social media comparison can influence and have a significant impact on individuals' views in forming body image and beauty standards as reflected in their thoughts. In terms of positive impacts, social media can serve as a platform for individuals to express themselves and obtain relevant and up-to-date information. However, social media use can also have negative impacts, one of which is social comparison, which can lead to various psychological health disorders such as stress, excessive anxiety, poor body image, feelings of inferiority, and an increased risk of depression, which can lead to other mental disorders that can endanger individual health.

CONTRADICTIONS AND LEGAL CERTAINTY IN HANDLING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN ACEH: NATIONAL LAW AND SHARIA PERSPECTIVES

2025-05-31T23:34:55+07:00

Law No. 44/1999 on the Implementation of Aceh's Specialty and Law No. 11/2006 on the Government of Aceh authorize Aceh to formulate its own criminal law products based on Islamic Sharia. This research discusses the contradiction in the regulation of punishment against perpetrators of sexual abuse against children in Aceh which is regulated in Qanun Jinayat and national laws and regulations such as the Criminal Code, Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence, and Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. This paper uses a juridical-normative approach by focusing on juridical analysis and a legal philosophy approach by examining the concept of legal certainty in a normative- positivistic perspective and legal certainty in an Islamic perspective. The results of this study indicate that synchronization between national law and sharia law in Aceh is needed to eliminate norm inconsistencies that can weaken the effectiveness of law enforcement. The Attorney General's Office in Aceh as a Law Enforcement Official also needs to change the prosecution paradigm that prioritizes the interests of the perpetrator to be more in favor of the victim. Because, in Islamic law, the purpose of punishment is not only limited to retribution, but also includes prevention (deterrence), repair (reformation), and education for the community (al-tahzib). Therefore, ideally, the regulation of criminal law in Aceh is not only oriented towards formal legal certainty, but must also pay attention to aspects of benefit so that the law can provide more effective protection for victims.

RISK MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY IN LOADING AND UNLOADING PROCESSES ON PASSENGER SHIPS ALONG THE KIJANG–SUNGAI GUNTUNG ROUTE (CASE STUDY ON KM SABUK NUSANTARA 110)

2025-06-02T22:11:02+07:00

This study aims to analyze the Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) risk management in the loading and unloading process on KM Sabuk Nusantara 110. The main focus of this study is to identify potential hazards, assess the level of risk, and evaluate the effectiveness of implementing safety procedures on the ship. Using qualitative methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews with chief engineers and stevedoring workers and related literature reviews. The results of the study identified several major potential hazards, such as the breaking of the crane steel rope due to excess load capacity, the risk of slipping due to the slippery ship floor, and the lack of worker awareness in using personal protective equipment (PPE). Although there have been no significant work accidents, the implementation of the OHS SOP still has weaknesses, especially in supervision and routine training for workers. Therefore, this study recommends increasing supervision of the use of PPE, preventive maintenance of equipment, and holding periodic training to increase worker awareness and compliance with safety procedures. These findings are expected to be the basis for formulating more effective occupational safety policies in the maritime sector.

THE INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT, MOTIVATION, AND ENGAGEMENT ON EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AT PT GSI STEEL MELTING PLANT

2025-06-03T10:20:42+07:00

Employee productivity is a key factor in organizational success in labour-intensive industries, such as steel smelters. PT GSI faces the challenge of low productivity, as reflected in increased employee absenteeism and job dissatisfaction, despite implementing various management policies. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects of talent management, motivation, and Employee Engagement on employee productivity and to test the mediating roles of motivation and engagement. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey design, selecting a random sample of 153 permanent employees from PT GSI. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were assessed using Cronbach's Alpha method and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Furthermore, data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that talent management had a significant effect on employee motivation (

?= 0.689, p < 0.01) and engagement (?= 0.568, p < 0.01). Additionally, motivation and engagement have been proven to have a significant impact on employee productivity. PLS-SEM path analysis reveals motivation and engagement as effective mediating variables in the relationship between talent management and employee productivity. This study provides academic and practical contributions by revealing the mechanism of productivity improvement through talent management. The implication is that PT GSI needs to develop policies that support talent development, increase employee motivation, and encourage engagement to optimize company productivity.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE ELECTRONIC-BASED POPULATION ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIAK) POLICY AT THE DEPARTMENT OF POPULATION AND CIVIL REGISTRATION OF SOUTH NIAS REGENCY

2025-06-03T22:41:12+07:00

This study evaluates the performance of the Population Administration Information System (SIAK) policy at the South Nias Regency Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil). Using William N. Dunn’s six criteria—effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness—the research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data triangulation from interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants include Disdukcapil officials and community members using the services. The findings show that SIAK has improved service effectiveness by speeding up the population document recording and printing processes. Efficiency has increased in terms of time and cost, though challenges like limited network infrastructure and low digital literacy persist in remote areas. Service adequacy and equity have improved, but public participation in reporting population events remains low. While institutional responsiveness has improved, digital complaint channels and inter-agency coordination need further enhancement. The SIAK policy is deemed appropriate, aligning with national regulations. Meta-evaluation results indicate excellent evaluation quality, particularly in propriety (81.3%) and accuracy (83.3%).
