<![CDATA[This research examines the legal consequences of the transfer of the name of the land certificate in an unpaid sale and purchase transaction. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the process of transferring land rights can occur even though payment has not been fully implemented, as well as to identify the legal implications arising from incomplete payment in land sale and purchase transactions. Through a normative legal analysis approach, this study concludes that the transfer of land rights that have not been paid in full can lead to legal uncertainty, both in relation to the validity of the transaction and the potential for future property rights disputes. Therefore, stricter regulations and better supervision of land transactions that have not met the full payment requirements are needed. This research is expected to contribute to the development of agrarian law and become the basis for more effective policy recommendations in order to provide legal certainty in the transfer of land rights.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to analyze the impact of social policies on social dynamics and cultural change in Indonesia, with a focus on the education, health, economic empowerment, and social welfare sectors. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach, with secondary data analysis through case studies of social policies implemented between 2014 and 2024. The results show that social policies that support education and women's empowerment have a significant impact on social mobility, gender equality, and political awareness. On the other hand, the social welfare and economic empowerment sectors show a moderate impact on local cultural change. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of policies based on community participation to reduce social inequality and create more inclusive and sustainable cultural change. The findings also provide insights for improving social policies that are more responsive to social dynamics and local cultural values.]]>

<![CDATA[The distribution and abuse of narcotics are serious national issues that the government considers a threat to the nation’s moral integrity. Perpetrators of narcotics crimes often receive sentences from the courts that do not align with justice or legal certainty. In narcotics cases, key articles such as Articles 114, 112, and 127 of Law Number 35 of 2009 on Narcotics are commonly used. However, Articles 112 and 127 are often criticized for their vague formulations, leading to multiple interpretations. These ambiguities allow drug dealers to disguise themselves as victims, which may result in lighter sentences and contribute to legal injustice. This research adopts a normative legal approach, systematically analyzing court decisions and applicable laws to understand the criminal sanctions imposed on narcotics offenders. The study found that law enforcement in narcotics cases faces significant challenges, with a strong reliance on criminal penalties. The study further highlights the need for enhanced efforts at local, national, and international levels to combat narcotics-related crimes. In the specific case studied, the Medan District Court sentenced the defendant, Veri Suriana, to six years in prison and a fine of one billion rupiah. Failure to pay the fine would result in an additional six-month prison sentence.]]>

<![CDATA[The unclear legal arrangements in Chapter XI of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), particularly Article 89 to Article 94, have created legal uncertainty for the KPK in carrying out the functions of investigation and prosecution of koneksitas cases. This has resulted in weak coordination between the KPK and military institutions, which has an impact on suboptimal case handling and potential violations of the principle of justice. This research uses normative legal methods with regulatory, conceptual, and case study approaches. The results showed that Article 89 of KUHAP gives priority to the General Court in processing koneksitas cases, but does not explicitly regulate the KPK's authority. This lack of clarity has made it difficult for the KPK to form a joint team with the Military Oditur as stipulated in Article 89 paragraph (2) of KUHAP. This lack of legal certainty is a major obstacle in the effort to enforce a just and effective law.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper aims to examine the characteristics and competencies of members of the Regional Representatives Council (DPRD) in supporting good governance in the region. This research uses a normative juridical method with a document study approach as a data collection technique. The main focus of the research is on the characteristics, competencies, and behavioural patterns of DPRD members required to support the principles of good governance, such as transparency, accountability, and community participation. The results show that the ideal DPRD member must have high integrity, good communication skills, and a deep understanding of public policy. In addition, open and inclusive communication behaviour patterns and the use of information technology are essential to increase public participation in the legislative process. The findings are expected to provide recommendations for improving the quality of DPRD members in carrying out their functions and encouraging active community participation in public decision-making.]]>

<![CDATA[Direct regional head elections (Pilkada) in Indonesia, implemented since 2005, have not fully guaranteed the realization of democracy due to the widespread practice of money politics. Money politics, involving the exchange of money or material goods for votes, undermines the integrity of elections and distorts democratic processes. This study aims to examine the regulation of prohibitions and sanctions related to money politics within the Election Law and to formulate a concept for criminal law reform regarding money politics in Pilkada. Using a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach, the research analyzes existing legal provisions, identifies gaps and ambiguities, particularly concerning Article 73 of the Election Law, and explores the scope of subjects covered by the regulation. The findings indicate that although legal reforms have been made several times, ambiguities and loopholes remain, especially the unclear explanation of Article 73 and limited subject coverage. Therefore, this study proposes reformulating the legal norms to clarify prohibitions, broaden the scope of subjects beyond just candidates and campaign teams, and introduce protections for whistleblowers. The results of this research are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers and stakeholders in improving the legal framework for elections to ensure democratic integrity and legal certainty.]]>

<![CDATA[China, under the leadership of Xi Jinping, is actively seeking to enhance its hypersonic weaponry. Xi Jinping aspires for China to attain a position of esteem in global political affairs. This endeavor instilled a sense of significance and obligation in the United States, prompting a response. Through the utilization of a descriptive qualitative methodology, numerous discoveries were acquired. Firstly, the United States publicly acknowledges that China's hypersonic weapons pose a genuine menace to world security. Despite not having attained the pinnacle of weaponry capabilities, China's arsenal is nonetheless seen as concerning. Furthermore, the United States consistently augments its expenditure on weaponry on an annual basis. The United States fosters collaboration with arms manufacturers. Furthermore, the United States enhances bilateral relations with Taiwan. Taiwan is seen as a significant ally in the endeavor to uphold security in the East Asian area. In addition, the United States is further enhancing its existing collaboration with NATO.]]>

<![CDATA[Murtigading Village, located in Sanden District, Bantul Regency, has achieved notable success in combating money politics in the village chief elections (Pilurdes), general elections, and regional elections. This study explores how the community of Murtigading mobilized a movement to counter money politics, identifies the key factors contributing to the movement’s success, and examines strategies to ensure the sustainability of this anti-money politics effort. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research collected primary and secondary data through observations, literature review, and interviews with key movement initiators and members of the Bantul Regency Election Supervisory Committee (Bawaslu). The findings reveal that the anti-money politics movement in Murtigading significantly contributed to the reduction and eventual eradication of money politics practices in the village during the 2019 and 2020 elections. Two primary factors influenced this success: the presence of community leaders as catalysts and active community participation. To maintain the movement’s momentum, continuous promotion and internalization of anti-money politics values through political literacy and socialization are essential. This study highlights the critical role of community-driven initiatives in fostering clean electoral processes and strengthening democratic governance at the grassroots level.]]>

<![CDATA[The Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) does not differentiate between ethnic groups or nationalities, ensuring that all individuals are treated equally before the court, whether in the District Court, High Court, or Supreme Court. Suspects or defendants are no longer viewed as "objects" but as "subjects" who possess rights and obligations, including the right to claim compensation or rehabilitation in cases of wrongful arrest, detention, prosecution, or legal judgment. The reality that many suspects/defendants are not accompanied by legal counsel during criminal proceedings raises significant questions about why the provisions of KUHAP are not adhered to. This thesis aims to analyze and elaborate on the regulations within KUHAP concerning the obligation of legal counsel to assist suspects/defendants in court proceedings and to analyze and elaborate on the rules that should govern the implementation of the obligation for legal counsel in criminal cases. The type of legal research employed in this work is normative legal research. This research is prescriptive in nature, aiming to provide a careful, comprehensive, and systematic description and analysis of the characteristics of individual or group behavior. Legal assistance by counsel is a fundamental right that must be fulfilled in every legal process, as stipulated in Article 56 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). Ironically, the hegemony of scientific studies tends to focus more on the subordination and compliance of citizens to the law rather than the subordination and compliance of law enforcement officials to the law itself. This obligation not only aims to protect the rights of suspects but also to ensure that the principles of justice and the protection of human rights are upheld within the criminal justice system in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[The global rise in obesity necessitates effective interventions, particularly for women, who often face unique challenges. This study investigates the comparative effects of low-impact aerobic exercise and Pilates on body fat percentage reduction in obese women, considering the moderating role of age. A quantitative experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed, involving 40 obese women recruited through purposive sampling. Participants engaged in either low-impact aerobic exercise or Pilates for eight weeks, with body fat percentage measured using skinfold calipers. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data, revealing significant differences between exercise types and age groups. Low-impact aerobics demonstrated a greater reduction in body fat percentage compared to Pilates. Adolescents experienced a more pronounced reduction with aerobics, while adults benefited more from Pilates. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring exercise interventions to age-specific needs. Furthermore, social intelligence, motivation, adherence, and social support were identified as crucial factors in program success. This study underscores the potential of integrating social and psychological elements into physiotherapy practices to enhance weight management outcomes in obese women. The results provide valuable insights for designing targeted exercise programs that consider both physical and social-emotional factors.]]>
