Eti Haryati, Dhanang Widijawan, Edy Santoso — Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the legal position of electronic systems in digital forensic practices under Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code of Indonesia. The development of information technology has transformed criminal activities and evidentiary processes, making conventional evidence insufficient to address crimes involving digital data. Therefore, the recognition of electronic information and electronic documents as lawful evidence marks an important step in the modernization of Indonesia’s criminal law. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, relying on legal materials such as legislation, legal doctrines, journal articles, and scholarly opinions, which are analyzed qualitatively through legal reasoning and interpretation. The findings show that Law Number 1 of 2023 strengthens the position of electronic systems as sources of evidence and supporting infrastructures in the criminal justice system. Digital forensics plays a crucial role in ensuring the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of electronic evidence through identification, collection, analysis, and presentation processes. However, challenges remain, including the absence of standardized forensic procedures, limited institutional capacity, shortage of experts, cybersecurity threats, cross-border jurisdictional issues, and privacy concerns. In conclusion, the effectiveness of electronic evidence depends not only on legal recognition but also on harmonized regulations, adequate infrastructure, professional competence, and strong legal safeguards to ensure justice, legal certainty, and effective law enforcement in the digital era.

Sri Wahyuningsih, Tri Mulyani Kartini, Sindik Widati — Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the influence of job transfers and physical work environment on employee performance at PT SMEP PACIFIC, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research focuses on the manufacturing sector, which is currently experiencing a decline in workforce productivity. The uniqueness of this study lies in the integration of job transfer and physical work environment variables within a single structural framework, with job satisfaction serving as a mediator. The selection of research location and timing adds contextual relevance to the organizational dynamics. A quantitative approach was employed, using primary data collected from 115 respondents through questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of LISREL 8.80 to examine the relationships among variables simultaneously. The results indicate that job transfers positively affect both job satisfaction and employee performance, directly and indirectly through the mediating role of job satisfaction. In contrast, the physical work environment does not directly influence job satisfaction but contributes to performance improvement indirectly. Some variables show significant roles in shaping performance, while others exhibit inconsistent effects. This study is limited to a specific sector and location, thus its findings may not be generalizable to broader contexts. The results offer practical insights for policymakers and industry practitioners in designing more adaptive job transfer strategies and managing work environments, while also serving as a reference for academics in developing human resource performance theories.

Sri Wahyuningsih, Catur Sasi Kirono — Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the influence of work enthusiasm and work discipline on employee performance, by considering the mediating role of work-life balance policies at the Sirnajaya Village Office. The novelty of this research lies in its integration of work-life balance as a mediating factor between motivation, discipline, and performance an approach that remains underexplored in public sector organizations at the village level. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 94 respondents selected from a population of 123 employees using Slovin’s formula with a 5% margin of error. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL version 8.8. The results indicate that both work enthusiasm and discipline have a significant positive impact on employee performance. Enthusiasm also positively affects work-life balance, while discipline shows a negative relationship with it. Furthermore, work-life balance was found to partially mediate the relationship between the independent variables and performance. The study is limited to a single village office with a relatively small sample size, which may restrict broader generalization. Nonetheless, the findings highlight the importance of balancing motivation and discipline through supportive work-life balance policies to enhance sustainable employee performance.

Yoga Nathasa Amin, Megandaru Widhi Kawuryan, Frans Dione — Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Digital transformation has shifted government public communication into digital channels while simultaneously placing Pancasila ideology development in a new challenge, namely how to keep national values relevant in a fast-paced, interactive space that is vulnerable to misinformation. This study aims to analyze the Public Relations strategy of the Bureau of Public Relations of the Agency for Pancasila Ideology Development (BPIP) of the Republic of Indonesia in optimizing the dissemination of Pancasila values through government digital media, as well as to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design that combines deductive and inductive dimensions. The RACE model (Research–Action–Communication–Evaluation) by Cutlip, Center, and Broom (2006) is used as the main analytical framework, strengthened by Mergel’s (2013) Three Tactics of Government Social Media Adoption and Rocha’s (2014) Three-Dimensional Model of Government Website Evaluation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eleven informants from three groups, digital observation of Instagram @bpipri and the bpip.go.id website, and document analysis, then analyzed using source and method triangulation. The results show that the implementation of RACE is asymmetrical; the Action dimension is the most institutionalized, while Research reveals systemic gaps in audience data collection that are passive-reactive and Jakarta-centric. An event-centric paradox was also found (40–50% of content remains ceremonial), alongside a strategic strength in human-based storytelling, evidenced by Paskibraka 2025 content with an average of 19,205 likes per post and total interactions exceeding 710 million in August 2025. The main supporting factors include leadership commitment, partnerships with professional consultants, networks of Paskibraka communities and Pancasila Ambassadors, and data analytics infrastructure. The main inhibiting factors are the incompatibility between bureaucratic procedures and social media logic, limited digital communication human resources, and the absence of formal SOPs. The study recommends the formulation of digital communication SOPs, fast-track approval mechanisms, a shift in content patterns from event-centric to presence-centric approaches, and strengthening audience research through periodic active surveys.

Miklas Fajrin Nurcahyo, Muhadam Labolo, Udaya Madjid — Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the implementation of policies for managing Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of these policies, as well as the efforts made to overcome the inhibiting factors in Majalengka Regency. The theory used as an analytical framework in this study is the policy implementation theory of Van Meter and Van Horn, which emphasizes six main factors: policy standards and objectives, resources, characteristics of implementing organizations, attitudes or dispositions of implementers, inter-organizational communication, and the economic, social, and political environment. This study employs a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis is conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The informants in this study include the Regent of Majalengka Regency, the Chairperson of Commission I of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of Majalengka Regency, the Sub-district Head of Majalengka, the Village Heads of Cibodas, Sidamukti, Kawunggirang, and Kulur, BUMDes administrators, as well as MSME actors in the research locations. The research locations are focused on Cibodas Village (BUMDes Bina Jaya), Sidamukti Village (BUMDes Rahayu), Kawunggirang Village (BUMDes Kawungwangi), and Kulur Village (BUMDes Tirma). The results of the field study indicate that the implementation of BUMDes management policies in Majalengka Regency has not been carried out optimally. This is due to limited human resources, weak managerial capacity of BUMDes administrators, limited capital, low community participation, and suboptimal guidance and supervision from both local and village governments. In addition, issues remain in policy communication, implementers’ perceptions, and bureaucratic structures that have not fully supported professional and sustainable BUMDes management. The SWOT analysis results show that strengthening human resource capacity, improving institutional governance and monitoring-evaluation systems, optimizing village economic potential, reinforcing the commitment of policy implementers, and enhancing coordination among stakeholders are key strategies to improve the effectiveness of BUMDes policy implementation as an instrument for empowering the village economy.

Joko Ariyadi Setiawan, Hardiyanto Rahman — Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Village asset management is an important aspect in supporting effective, transparent, and accountable village governance. However, in practice, various problems are still found, particularly related to weak guidance and supervision by the subdistrict government. This study aims to analyze the role of the Subdistrict Head (Camat) in guiding and supervising village asset management in Telaga Antang, Kotawaringin Timur Regency. The research method used was a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that the role of the Camat has not been optimal, as reflected in the limited guidance and supervision activities, weak cross-sector coordination, and ineffective implementation of monitoring and evaluation. The main problems encountered include limited human resources, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, budget constraints, difficult geographical conditions, and the low understanding of village officials regarding village asset management regulations. In addition, the implementation of digital systems such as SIPADES has not been fully effective due to infrastructure limitations and insufficient technical competence. Efforts made to address these problems include improving the capacity of village officials, strengthening inter-institutional coordination, developing standard operating procedures, and reinforcing regulations and budget support. This study also offers an innovation in the form of the Village Asset Order Movement (GERDAS-TAS) as a strategy to improve administrative orderliness, transparency, and accountability in village asset management. Therefore, optimizing the role of the Camat is key to realizing effective, accountable, and sustainable village asset governance in order to support the improvement of rural community welfare.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a conditional cash assistance-based social protection policy aimed at reducing poverty and increasing access for poor families to education, health, and social welfare services. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of PKH in Agats District, Asmat Regency, and identify factors influencing its implementation. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Research informants included the district head, PKH coordinator, PKH facilitator, and beneficiary families. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while program evaluation used William N. Dunn's six criteria, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results show that PKH in Agats District has contributed positively to meeting the basic needs of KPM, especially in the aspects of education, maternal health, and economic support for the elderly. However, program implementation has not been fully optimal due to still facing problems with data synchronization between DTKS, Dukcapil, and Dapodik, delays in aid disbursement, limited facilitators, geographical barriers, and low understanding of some communities regarding the program mechanism. This study recommends continuous data updating, capacity building of facilitators, strengthening of cross-institutional coordination, and socio-cultural approaches to ensure more targeted implementation of PKH in remote areas.

SALACCA-TAN: Bioactive Gel Formulation Based on Snake Fruit Seed Waste (Salacca zalacca) as an Environmentally Friendly Dual-Function Antioxidant and Protease Inhibitor Agent

Khadijah Althafunnisa, Aliifah Yumna, Syafira Dian Noor — Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The increase in tropical fruit waste in Indonesia poses a challenge to sustainable resource management. One potential waste product is salak seeds (Salacca zalacca), which are rich in antioxidant compounds. This study aims to utilise salak seed extract as an active ingredient in environmentally friendly antioxidant gels based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC). The extract was obtained through maceration in 70% ethanol and formulated into three variants: a control gel without extract, and gels with 5 mL and 8 mL of extract. The formulation tests included pH, homogeneity, spreadability, organoleptic properties, and apple browning test. The results showed a pH of 5.5-5.8 (in accordance with skin pH), homogeneous texture, and light brown colour with a distinctive salak seed aroma that was liked by the panelists. Spreadability increased from 2.5 cm (control) to 2.8 cm (5 mL) and 3.0 cm (8 mL). The gel with 8 mL extract was also most effective in inhibiting enzymatic browning in apples, indicating high antioxidant activity. With good physical stability and antioxidant efficacy, salak seed extract gel has the potential to be developed as a natural cosmetic product and green biotherapeutic innovation based on local waste.

Quantifying Ocean-Atmosphere-Ecosystem Coupling: Precipitation-Chlorophyll Lag Relationship in West Java Using Decade-Long Satellite Observations

Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Understanding predictive relationships between oceanic conditions and extreme rainfall is crucial for improving weather forecasting capabilities in tropical maritime regions. This study investigates quantitative relationships between precipitation, chlorophyll-a concentrations, and extreme rainfall patterns in West Java using 10 years of satellite observations (2014-2024). We analyzed IMERG precipitation data and MODIS chlorophyll-a products using cross-correlation analysis, continuous wavelet transform, cross-wavelet coherence, and spatial extreme indices calculations. Results reveal statistically significant coupling between precipitation and chlorophyll-a (r = -0.173, p < 0.001) with precipitation leading chlorophyll decrease by 19 days, reflecting marine ecosystem responses to terrestrial runoff. Cross-wavelet coherence analysis demonstrates 78% annual coherence and 68% semi-annual coherence between these variables, with 72.5% of total variance explained by significant periodic interactions. Wavelet analysis identifies dominant annual and semi-annual cycles in both precipitation and chlorophyll-a with 95% statistical significance. Spatial analysis using k-means clustering reveals four distinct precipitation regimes: northern coastal zones with prolonged dry periods (>45 days), central highlands with intense convective activity (>3000 mm annually), southern mountains with extreme precipitation (>3200 mm), and transitional zones with mixed characteristics. Spatial autocorrelation analysis confirms significant clustering (Moran's I = 0.65-0.89) of precipitation extremes across the region. The identified 19-day lead-lag relationship provides a scientific foundation for marine ecosystem monitoring and represents a significant advancement in understanding ocean-atmosphere-ecosystem coupling processes in tropical Indonesia. These findings have important implications for developing improved seasonal forecasting capabilities and ecosystem-based climate adaptation strategies.

Development of the Architectural Design of the South Aceh Regency Library in Tapaktuan

Zuhrahmi DE, Ade Darmi Septiadi, Zulhadi Sahputra, Zulyaden Zulyaden — Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

South Aceh Regency is one of the regencies located in Aceh Province, with Tapaktuan serving as its capital city. A regency library is a regional library that functions as a guiding library, reference library, deposit library, research library, and preservation library at the regency or municipal level. Currently, South Aceh Regency already has a library building; however, it is combined within the same building as the Department of Library and Archives. This condition makes the library less accessible to the public due to its closed nature and bureaucratic atmosphere. In South Aceh Regency, particularly in Tapaktuan, there are several higher education institutions such as polytechnics, academies, and colleges. In addition, there are also many schools and Islamic boarding schools. Based on interviews conducted with various groups, including the community, university students, and school students, there is strong interest in the development of a more open and accessible public library. Approximately 90% of respondents agreed with the plan to build such a facility. The main objective is to make it easier for the community, students, and pupils to access books and other sources of knowledge. By applying a metaphorical architectural approach, the building is expected to become a prominent landmark that encourages people to visit the regency library.
