Abstract

This research explores the enforcement of criminal sanctions against union-busting practices in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the conflict between the CNN Indonesia Workers’ Solidarity (SPCI) and PT. CNN Indonesia. Employing a juridical-normative approach, the study reviews legal frameworks such as Law No. 21 of 2000 on Trade Unions and the Indonesian Criminal Code, while drawing comparisons with labor court rulings in Belgium, Germany, and France. The findings reveal that, although Indonesia’s legal system formally classifies union busting as a criminal act, its implementation remains ineffective due to the dominance of civil or bipartite settlements that rarely impose real sanctions. The research emphasizes the need for stronger institutional commitment and a more proactive role from law enforcement bodies to safeguard workers’ rights and ensure corporate accountability. Strengthening these measures will help harmonize Indonesia’s labor law with international standards promoted by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of guidance and counseling teachers in preventing drug abuse among students. The sample in this study consisted of 5 participants, namely three students and two guidance and counseling teachers, using an interview instrument as the data collection instrument. The data obtained was then processed and analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The results of the study show that guidance and counseling teachers play an important role in preventive efforts through routine socialization activities about the dangers of drugs, instilling an attitude of rejection of peer pressure, and providing individual and group counseling services. Guidance and counseling teachers also conduct early detection through behavioral observation, personal approaches to students who show indications of drug abuse, and collaborate with the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) and parents in the case handling process. In addition, students involved in drug abuse were given follow-up assistance in the form of routine check-ups at the BNN according to the severity of their condition. The findings of the study reveal that collaborative efforts between guidance counselors, schools, the BNN, and families play a significant role in creating a safe school environment and supporting the prevention of drug abuse. This study confirms that the role of guidance counsellors extends beyond problem handling to include character development, awareness-raising, and the formation of healthy behaviours in students.

Abstract

Direct-contact infectious diseases such as influenza, diphtheria, tuberculosis (TB), scabies, varicella, impetigo, herpes simplex, and HIV remain public health threats. Limited access to accurate information encourages the development of chatbots as educational media. This study aims to design and build an NLP-based chatbot named SerMediCare to provide consultation and education on infectious diseases. The Research and Development (R&D) method with an iterative approach was used, including needs analysis, data collection from journals and medical books, and interviews with healthcare workers; system design; model training; and implementation on a web platform. The dataset was prepared in JSON format, including patterns, responses, and tags, and trained with a Transformer-based model to accurately recognize user intent. Evaluation results show that SerMediCare achieves 86% accuracy, indicating its ability to provide relevant responses to user queries. Black box testing confirmed that all features function properly. This chatbot is expected to be an effective digital tool for improving health literacy and facilitating public access to reliable information about infectious diseases.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse how religious identity is used as a political branding strategy in the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election, and the communicative and social implications of this practice in the digital space. Using a qualitative content analysis, this study examined the official accounts of candidate pairs, digital volunteers, political influencers, and public conversations across various forms, including images, campaign videos, captions, tweets, comments, and hashtags. The results of the study show that religion-based identity politics is the dominant strategy in social media. Candidates and campaign teams actively utilise religious symbols, narratives, and figures to build a religious, trustworthy, and moral image. The endorsement of religious figures through digital testimonials strengthens the candidate's moral legitimacy, while religion-based content is disseminated not only top-down by official accounts but also horizontally through supportive communities and anonymous accounts. Religious content has been shown to have higher digital engagement than neutral content; however, it has also led to polarisation in the commentary space over the legitimacy of using religious symbols in politics.

Abstract

The experiences humans encounter throughout life shape their character and behavior toward their surroundings. Human development from birth continuously undergoes dynamic changes, both physically and mentally. This issue also concerned Ar-Razi, who sought to explore the dynamics of the human psyche while remaining grounded in Islamic principles and scientific knowledge. He introduced a theory of character development consisting of four phases: (1) the age of growth, (2) adolescence, (3) middle age, and (4) old age. Ar-Razi also classified levels of the soul based on his interpretation of Surah Al-Kawthar into three stages: (1) the highest level, in which the heart and soul are immersed in the light of Allah; (2) the second level, characterized by devotion to Allah through various forms of physical worship; and (3) the third level, the lowest degree, which is oriented toward worldly matters. This article aims to explore Ar-Razi’s theory of development holistically.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of competency and employee engagement on employee performance in public sector institutions in Indonesia. The research is motivated by persistent performance disparities within public sector organizations, which are frequently linked to misalignment between employee competency and job demands, as well as insufficient levels of employee engagement. The study aims to analyze the direct effects of competency and employee engagement on employee performance and to investigate the mediating role of employee engagement in the competency–performance relationship. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, involving 105 employees from a public-sector institution selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale measuring competency, employee engagement, and employee performance. Path analysis was used to test the hypothesized relationships among variables. The results reveal that competency has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, employee engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, and employee engagement significantly mediates the relationship between competency and employee performance. These findings underscore the importance of integrating competency development and employee engagement strategies to enhance performance and organizational effectiveness in public sector institutions.

Abstract

This ethnographic study analyzes the economic dynamics and cultural resilience of the fishing community in Anyer Beach, a historic coastal area that has undergone profound transformation due to the tourism industry. The purpose of this study is to examine the pattern of livelihood transition from the traditional maritime sector to the service sector, measure the implications of emerging social disparities, and analyze how local wisdom practices are maintained amid the tide of commercialization. Ethnographic qualitative methods were used through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with various parties at the study sites, such as Kamasan Village and Sambolo 2 Beach. The results of the study show a radical transition in livelihoods driven by economic rationality, resulting in a significant surge in per capita monthly income (a wealth shock) of 400% to 900%. However, this rapid economic growth, supported by simple management, simultaneously triggered sharp social inequality and negative lifestyle changes. Culturally, local maritime wisdom, such as the Ruwat Laut ritual, demonstrated resilience, functional adaptation, and commodification as cultural tourism assets. It was concluded that Anyer's economic success was not yet supported by social and ecological sustainability. Therefore, an immediate transition to a structural co-management model, supported by a local regulatory framework, is recommended to more evenly and sustainably distribute tourism benefits.

Abstract

Determining the beginning of the hijri month, which marks the beginning of religious observances such as the Ramadan fast and the Hajj, should ideally be carried out simultaneously in Indonesia. Differences in methods among Islamic organizations, such as Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, often lead to differences in timing. This study aims to examine the development of literature on Muhammadiyah's hisab method and the contribution of Islamic media to shaping public understanding of the determination of the Hijri month's beginning. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, following PRISMA guidelines, to include articles published between 2010 and 2025. The results show that Muhammadiyah's hisab method has evolved from a theological approach to a scientific paradigm grounded in modern astronomy, based on the principle of hisab benarki wujudul hilal (accurate crescent moon sighting). Studies of Islamic media, particularly television, show limited research specifically discussing the representation of the hisab method in religious broadcasts. The media has great potential to disseminate science-based religious literacy and strengthen public understanding of the rationality of hisab as a method for determining the Islamic calendar. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating science, religion, and Islamic media in strengthening religious awareness in the modern era.
