LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES AT THE INDONESIA-MALAYSIA LAND BORDER

Burhanudin Yusuf — 2026-04-08

Borders between countries define a country's territory. Indonesia has 3,108.3 kilometers of land borders, the longest of which is with Malaysia at 1,881 kilometers. With such a long border, it is inevitable that various crimes will occur across the border between the two countries. Therefore, law enforcement in various crimes that occur will certainly be handled differently from law enforcement in other areas far from the border. This study focuses on law enforcement against crimes that often occur at the border and to reveal the law enforcement system carried out at the land border between Indonesia and Malaysia. The research method used in this study is an empirical juridical approach, which examines how the law works in society. This approach was chosen to observe the implementation and effectiveness of law enforcement in the Indonesia-Malaysia land border area in practice, as well as the interaction between law enforcement officials, the community, and related agencies. The law enforcement process in the Indonesia-Malaysia land border involves a coordinated multi-institutional approach, based on bilateral agreements, and aims to maintain state sovereignty and address transnational crime. The Indonesia-Malaysia land border faces major structural challenges, including a long borderline, difficult terrain, unclear boundaries, and limited infrastructure. Legal and enforcement factors such as inconsistent regulations, limited resources, and suboptimal monitoring mechanisms pose real obstacles. Socio-economic and cultural factors in border communities, such as poverty, underdevelopment, and cross-border cultures, further weaken the effectiveness of law enforcement.

FESTIVAL “BIDU LALOK DATO” SISWA-SISWI SEKOLAH DASAR KATOLIK NUROBO PADA PERAYAAN ULANG TAHUN PAROKI MARIA FATIMA NUROBO, ANALISIS ETNOGRAFI KOMUNIKASI MODEL ‘SPEAKING’ DARI DELL HYMES

Hendrikus Saku Bouk — 2025-10-27

Most countries in the world know that Indonesia is a country rich in culture, including dance, which is an important part of the socio-cultural life of a multicultural society. In Belu Regency and Malaka Regency, which share the same cultural roots from the same ancestors, there is a traditional dance, "Bidu Lalok Dato," which is a cultural heritage of the Tetun tribe. This dance is rich in meaning, symbols, and cultural values passed down from generation to generation. This study aims to uncover the meaning of cultural communication in the traditional dance "Bidu Lalok Dato" taught at SDK Nurobo-Laenmanen District-Meotaroi Village-Malaka Regency and competed in important events in the district and in the Nurobo parish. This study uses an ethnographic communication approach to explore local values and how to convey cultural messages through dance. Through observation, document studies, and video analysis of the competition, it was found that "Bidu Lalok Dato" is not only an artistic expression, but also a means of inheriting values, such as respect for ancestors, social solidarity, and Tetun tribal identity. This dance has been taught for generations by teachers and traditional leaders and is part of the local curriculum in schools. Research shows that nonverbal and symbolic communication in the dance plays a crucial role in shaping children's cultural understanding from an early age.

EXCISE TAX POLICY DESIGN IN CONTROLLING THE CIRCULATION OF SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGES, TO PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH AND REDUCE THE BURDEN ON THE STATE BUDGET

Dwi Putra Nugraha — 2025-10-27

The policy of imposing excise tax on Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) is a strategic measure to reduce the growing incidence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia, particularly diabetes and obesity linked to the consumption of sugary drinks. The yearly increase in SSBs consumption harms public health and imposes a significant financial burden on the state, especially through Social Health Security Administering Body (BPJS). Therefore, firm legal intervention is needed to limit consumption and promote a healthier lifestyle. The implementation of SSBs excise taxes should not be viewed merely as a fiscal instrument to boost revenue but also as a means of protecting the public’s right to live healthy and productive. This policy must be understood as part of a broader public health strategy rather than solely an economic measure. Moreover, the policy is expected to encourage industries to reformulate their products into healthier alternatives to avoid excise taxation.

BANK LIABILITY IN LAND AUCTIONS WITHOUT LEGAL BASIS OF OWNERSHIP: CASE STUDY NO. 662 PK/PDT/2023

Irene Puteri Alfani Sofia Sinaga — 2025-11-24

Land auctions as an instrument for executing mortgage rights play a crucial role in civil law and banking practices in Indonesia, yet they often create legal issues when the auctioned object lacks valid ownership. Although procedurally considered legitimate, in practice there is a significant gap between normative provisions and actual implementation, particularly in ensuring legal protection for third parties. Previous studies have mainly focused on procedural aspects and debtor defaults, while the issue of banks’ liability in auctions of land without valid ownership remains understudied. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the legal responsibility of banks in defective land auctions, with a specific focus on Supreme Court Decision No. 662 PK/PDT/2023. The research method employed is normative juridical with a case approach, supported by literature review of relevant legislation. The findings reveal that the Supreme Court emphasized the liability of the bank as the creditor who negligently failed to verify ownership, declaring the bank and the debtor to have committed an unlawful act and holding them jointly liable to pay compensation. This ruling reflects a balanced application of the principles of legal certainty, justice, and utility, while providing an important precedent for banking practices to adopt stricter due diligence in executing mortgage rights. Accordingly, this study contributes to strengthening the understanding of third-party protection in civil law and supports the need for regulatory reforms in land auctions in Indonesia.

THE ROLE OF LEGAL PROFESSIONAL ETHICS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS IN INDONESIA

Aqlani Maza — 2026-01-05

Law enforcement in Indonesia is facing a serious ethical crisis among legal professionals such as judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and police officers. Widespread violations of professional codes of ethics have undermined the legitimacy of the law and public trust in law-enforcement institutions. This study aims to analyze the role of legal professional ethics in supporting the effectiveness of law enforcement in Indonesia and to identify the factors contributing to ethical violations as well as strategies for addressing them. The approach used is an integrated normative-juridical and empirical-juridical method, supported by the theoretical frameworks of legal philosophers Gustav Radbruch, Lon L. Fuller, and Satjipto Rahardjo. The results show that professional ethical codes function as moral instruments regulating the integrity and professional responsibility of legal officers, yet their implementation remains weak due to bureaucratic culture, conflicts of interest, and non-independent oversight. Ethical codes more often operate as administrative formalities rather than substantive moral guidelines. Ethical breaches have been proven to reduce legal legitimacy and weaken public confidence in the justice system. Based on legal-philosophical analysis, this crisis reflects the failure of the law to internalize the values of justice ( Radbruch ), legal morality (Fuller), and humanity (Rahardjo). This study concludes two main points: (1) the code of ethics for legal professions must be repositioned as the moral foundation of the national legal system, guiding all legal practices; and (2) ethical institutional reform is necessary through the establishment of an independent National Legal Ethics Council, along with the internalization of ethical values starting from basic legal education. Just and effective law enforcement can only be realized when morality becomes the core of all legal-professional activities.

PERAN NEGARA DALAM IMPLEMENTASI INPRES NOMOR 9 TAHUN 2025 TENTANG PERCEPATAN PEMBENTUKAN KOPERASI MERAH PUTIH TERHADAP KESEJAHTERAAN MASYARAKAT: ANALISIS PERSPEKTIF FIQIH SIYASAH TANFIDZIYAH

Ahmad Hoiri — 2026-01-08

Poverty and economic inequality remain structural problems in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas. Consumptive social assistance programs are considered incapable of sustainably addressing the root causes of poverty. In response to this situation, the government issued Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2025 concerning the Acceleration of the Establishment of the Merah Putih Village/Sub-district Cooperative as an instrument for strengthening a collectivity-based people's economy. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2025, its impact on community welfare, and assess the legitimacy and effectiveness of the policy from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah tanfidziyah). The research method used is empirical juridical with a normative juridical approach, Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah tanfidziyah), and descriptive qualitative. The results show that the establishment of the Merah Putih Cooperative has the potential to increase access to capital, strengthen village economic distribution, and encourage community economic independence. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah tanfidziyah), this policy is in line with the principles of maslahah mursalah, the responsibility of imamate, distributive justice, and the value of ta'āwun. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, such as limited community participation, a lack of transparency in the formation of management boards, and the risk of institutional formalities. Therefore, strengthened oversight, increased cooperative literacy, and inclusive community involvement are needed to ensure this policy truly achieves its goals of public welfare and well-being.

TITIK TEMU NU DAN WAHHABI DALAM PERMASALAHAN BID’AH

Muhammad Sadid Nidlom F. — 2026-01-26

While the Qur'an and the Sunnah are the primary sources of Islam, Muslims are faced with new issues not fully explained by either group, which the Prophet (peace be upon him) termed bid'ah. The definition of bid'ah itself has not yet found common ground among Islamic groups, ultimately giving rise to debate, particularly between the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Wahhabis in Indonesia. This article aims to examine the concept of bid'ah directly at its source, affirming the views of each group, and seeking possible common ground to mediate their differences. The common ground between the two is that bid'ah is something new in matters of worship (bid'ah diniyyah). Both groups believe that innovation should not occur in matters related to worship. Therefore, the debate that often arises between the two groups is whether the issue is classified as a matter of worship or merely a tradition, which the NU group usually judges as permissible.

IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DALAM MEMBENTUK KEDISIPLINAN PADA KEGIATAN MADABINTAL DI PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH SMK ANGKASA 1 KALIJATI TAHUN AJARAN 2025/2026

Novi Herawati — 2026-01-26

This study aims to: (1) examine the implementation of character education in shaping discipline through Madabintal activities at SMK Angkasa 1 Kalijati; (2) analyze the role of history learning in fostering students’ discipline; and (3) identify the obstacles faced by the school in implementing discipline through Madabintal activities in history learning. This research employs a qualitative approach using a holistic single case study method. The research site was SMK Angkasa 1 Kalijati. The research subjects included history teachers, the principal, the vice principal for student affairs, field instructors, and tenth-grade students of SMK Angkasa 1 Kalijati. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that: (1) Madabintal activities are able to shape students’ discipline through the habituation of discipline-based character education with a semi-military approach, such as morning and afternoon assemblies, marching drills, uniform regulations, enforcement of school rules, and structured physical and mental training conducted repeatedly. Teachers and Madabintal instructors provide consistent role models in accordance with applicable rules. (2) History learning plays a role in instilling discipline values through the integration of character values into history learning materials, the exemplary values of historical figures, and the use of various learning methods such as project-based learning, group discussions, and outdoor learning by utilizing the Kalijati History House Museum. (3) Obstacles in implementing discipline include low awareness and motivation of some students regarding discipline, limited instructional time, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, as well as the influence of family environment and students’ social interactions outside school.

PERBANDINGAN HASIL TEST KEMAMPUAN FISIK ATLET SPRINT 100 METER PUSLATDA DAN ATLET PELATNAS

Zalsha Ayuadelia Efendi — 2026-01-26

This study was conducted to address the need for an objective evaluation of the tiered development system for 100-meter sprint athletes, particularly between the Regional Training Center (PUSLATDA) and the National Training Center (PELATNAS). The selection of athletes for national development has largely relied on competition performance, which may not fully reflect the physical potential of regional athletes. This study aimed to compare the physical fitness test results of 100-meter sprint athletes from PUSLATDA East Java and PELATNAS, and to identify the potential of PUSLATDA athletes for national-level development. A quantitative approach with a comparative research design was employed. The subjects consisted of 100-meter sprint athletes from PUSLATDA East Java and PELATNAS. Data were collected through a series of physical fitness tests, including anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, lung capacity, flexibility, sit-up performance, and heart rate recovery (HR Max). The data were analyzed using normality tests and independent sample t-tests. The results revealed significant differences in several physical fitness components, with PELATNAS athletes demonstrating superior overall physical fitness. However, several PUSLATDA athletes exhibited physical fitness levels comparable to those of PELATNAS athletes, indicating their potential to be recommended for national development.

THE PARADOX OF POVERTY IN THE MIDST OF MARINE POTENTIAL: A MULTI-PARADIGMATIC SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS IN THE COASTAL FISHING COMMUNITY OF BIAK NUMFOR REGENCY

Busyairi Ahmad — 2026-05-28

This study discusses the paradox of poverty of coastal fishing communities in the midst of the great potential of marine resources in Biak Numfor Regency, Papua. The research aims to analyze maritime poverty through a multi-paradigmatic sociological approach that includes functional structural perspectives, conflict theory, and symbolic interactions. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the fishing community is still in a vulnerable economic condition due to limited capital, fishing technology, market access, and dependence on middlemen. The income of the fishing community is greatly influenced by weather conditions and fishing seasons so that it is volatile. From a functional structural perspective, the poverty of coastal communities shows the dysfunction of the social system in maritime development. From the perspective of conflict theory, poverty is influenced by the inequality of power relations between fishermen and capital owners through the patron-client system. Meanwhile, the perspective of symbolic interaction shows that fishers often experience social stigma as a poor and disadvantaged group, despite still having strong maritime social and cultural solidarity. This study concludes that the poverty of maritime communities is a multidimensional problem influenced by economic, social, cultural, and political factors so that it requires equitable and participatory coastal development.

ANALISIS PRODUKTIVITAS PARSIAL PADA SISTEM PRODUKSI BOTOL PLASTIK CUKA BERBASIS DATA OPERASIONAL DI CV. MEGA PLASTINDO

Candra Zainul Arifin — 2026-07-20

Productivity is a key indicator for measuring the efficiency of resource utilization within a production system. CV. Mega Plastindo, a manufacturer of plastic vinegar bottles, continues to experience fluctuations in production output and defect rates, requiring an evaluation of labor, machinery, and raw material utilization. This study aims to analyze partial productivity based on these three factors, identify the most influential factor, and provide improvement recommendations. A quantitative descriptive method with a partial productivity analysis approach was employed. Operational data-production volume, workforce size, machine operating time, raw material usage, and defective product count-were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation over one month. Results indicate a labor productivity of 7,437.83 units/person, machine productivity of 214.55 units/hour, and raw material productivity of 90.34 units/kg. These results suggest the production system operates quite effectively, although there remains room for improvement through preventive maintenance, optimized work allocation, improved operator skills, and better control of raw material usage to reduce defects.

Budi Darmo — 2026-07-27

Visual identity is a strategic element in building a brand image and enhancing a company's competitiveness amidst the increasingly competitive creative industry. Inspi House, a company engaged in interior design, custom furniture, and civil construction, faced challenges in that its visual identity failed to optimally represent the brand's character and values, potentially leading to misperceptions among the public. This study aimed to redesign Inspi House's visual identity to strengthen its brand image and increase its appeal in the interior design market. The study employed qualitative methods through literature review, observation, interviews, and a SWOT analysis to identify the company's internal and external conditions as a basis for developing the design concept. The results produced a new visual identity system encompassing a logo, typography, color palette, graphic elements, and a Graphic Standard Manual as a guideline for consistently implementing the brand identity across various communication media. The designed visual identity represents the values of professionalism, creativity, and collaboration that are the key characteristics of Inspi House. The implementation of the new visual identity is expected to increase brand recognition, strengthen the company's image, build customer trust, and support digital marketing strategies in facing competition in the interior design industry.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY SUPPORT AND MEDICATION ADHERENCE AMONG PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Rini Dwi Astuti — 2026-07-27

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition requiring lifelong treatment and continuous medication adherence. However, the complexity of therapeutic regimens, polypharmacy, medication fatigue, and prolonged treatment duration frequently reduce patients' adherence to prescribed medications. Family support has been recognized as an essential external factor that enhances patients' motivation, confidence, and commitment to maintaining long-term treatment. This study employed a quantitative correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of hospitalized patients with Chronic Kidney Disease who met the predetermined inclusion criteria. A total of 40 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Family Support Questionnaire based on the Guttman Scale and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8). Descriptive statistics were used for univariate analysis, while the relationship between variables was analyzed using Spearman's Rank correlation test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Among the 40 respondents, 25 (62.5%) reported receiving good family support, whereas 15 (37.5%) received poor family support. Regarding medication adherence, 24 respondents (60.0%) demonstrated good adherence, while 16 respondents (40.0%) were classified as non-adherent. Spearman's Rank correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between family support and medication adherence (r = 0.738; p < 0.001), indicating a strong positive correlation. Patients who received better family support were more likely to adhere to their prescribed medication regimen. Family support is significantly associated with medication adherence among patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. Emotional, informational, instrumental, and appraisal support provided by family members play a crucial role in improving patients' adherence to medication and facilitating successful long-term disease management.
