The Effectiveness of Implementing Inheritance Based on Civil Law in Indigenous Communities
Inheritance in Indonesia often faces the challenge of legal dualism: civil inheritance law (derived from the Civil Code/KUHPer) and customary law, which is still strongly applied in society. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of civil inheritance law among indigenous communities with their own inheritance systems and norms. The research method used is an empirical juridical approach, with data collected through interviews, document studies, and observations in areas where traditional customs are still strongly held, such as the Batak and Minangkabau communities. The results indicate that the implementation of civil inheritance law is often ineffective due to conflicts with deeply rooted customary values. Communities tend to prefer resolving inheritance distribution through customary mechanisms, as they are considered fairer and more in line with local social structures. However, in certain cases, civil law remains the reference, especially in resolving conflicts in court. Thus, the synergy between civil law and customary law needs to be strengthened to achieve legal certainty and justice in a balanced manner.

Evaluation of Community-Based Transportation Programs and Their Impact on Social Connectivity in West Nias Regency
This study aims to evaluate community-based transportation programs in West Nias Regency and analyze their impact on social connectivity, especially related to increased access to basic services such as education, health, and the economy. This program aims to improve transportation infrastructure, improve road conditions, and strengthen transportation systems that support community mobility. Based on the available data, despite the increase in paved road length and improved road conditions, major challenges are still faced, especially related to heavily damaged roads and limited public transportation. Existing community-based transportation programs have not been fully able to support optimal social connectivity between regions in West Nias. The study found that community participation and collaboration with the private sector are key to the sustainability and effectiveness of the program. The results of the study show that to overcome the existing challenges, there needs to be a more intensive road maintenance strategy, the development of affordable and integrated public transportation, and more active tourism promotion to support the regional economy. This study suggests that stakeholders increase cooperation between the government, community, and the private sector to optimize community-based transportation programs, which in turn will improve social connectivity and community welfare in West Nias Regency.

The Effectiveness of Execution of Replacement Money in Corruption Cases from a Legal and Implementation Perspective in Indonesia
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the enforcement of compensatory money in corruption crimes in Indonesia, focusing on the legal perspective and implementation in the field. Compensatory money, as part of the additional sanctions under the criminal law on corruption, aims to compensate state losses resulting from corruption and provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators. This study examines how the mechanism for compensatory money enforcement is regulated in Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption, as well as the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, particularly the Prosecutor's Office, in implementing this enforcement. The research method used is a normative-empirical approach, which includes a literature review of applicable laws and regulations and interviews with relevant parties such as prosecutors, judges, and legal practitioners. The results indicate that despite clear provisions regarding the enforcement of compensatory money, its implementation is often hampered by technical obstacles, such as difficulties in asset tracking and a lack of cooperation between law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, differences remain in the interpretation and implementation of compensatory money enforcement across regions. This study recommends the need to refine regulations regarding the execution of substitute money, as well as improve coordination between law enforcement agencies to ensure more effective implementation. Therefore, this research is expected to contribute to strengthening legal mechanisms for eradicating corruption in Indonesia and positively impact the quality of fair and transparent justice.

Artificial Intelligence and Maqasid al-Shariah in Mental Health: A Chatbot Design for Supporting Teen Victims of Bullying
Bullying among teenagers continues to be a serious concern, often resulting in lasting psychological impacts such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Unfortunately, access to professional counseling services remains limited due to a shortage of mental health resources and the stigma associated with seeking help. This study introduces an AI-based chatbot designed specifically for teenage bullying victims, grounded in the ethical framework of Maqasid al-Shariah (objectives of Islamic law) to ensure culturally sensitive and holistically therapeutic interventions. The chatbot integrates the five fundamental Maqasid principles—protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), intellect (ḥifẓ al-ʿaql), lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and property (ḥifẓ al-māl)—into its design architecture and response mechanisms. This framework ensures that the system not only provides immediate emotional support through empathetic and confidential conversations but also promotes spiritual well-being, preserves human dignity, and maintains ethical boundaries in accordance with Islamic principles. The chatbot utilizes natural language processing combined with Maqasid-informed algorithms to detect signs of distress while offering culturally appropriate coping strategies that address both psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing. The system includes Islamic ethics-compliant escalation features that encourage professional intervention when necessary, ensuring user privacy and data protection in alignment with Islamic values of confidentiality and trust (amanah). Initial validation demonstrates that the Maqasid-based chatbot design effectively reduces emotional burden, promotes help-seeking behavior, and provides a scalable, accessible solution for early intervention that respects Islamic ethical guidelines while addressing the mental health needs of Muslim teenagers experiencing bullying.

The State's Responsibility for the Safeguarding of Inherited Property of Children with Special Needs
This study explores the state's responsibility in safeguarding the inheritance rights of children with special needs, focusing on both national and international legal frameworks. The protection of children with disabilities, particularly regarding inheritance management, is a crucial issue given their vulnerable status in society. The study examines the role of national legislation, such as the 1945 Constitution, the Child Protection Law, and the Civil Code, in securing the inheritance rights of children with special needs. Additionally, it investigates the implementation of guardianship systems, particularly the curatela system, in Indonesian courts. The challenges that impede effective management and protection of these rights, such as a lack of awareness and institutional barriers, are identified. Furthermore, the study draws upon international legal instruments, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which mandate the state's obligation to ensure equal rights and access for children with special needs. The findings suggest that while there is a strong legal foundation, there are gaps in practical implementation that need to be addressed. The paper concludes with recommendations for policy reforms to strengthen the role of the state in guaranteeing the inheritance rights of children with special needs, ensuring their protection in line with inclusive and human rights standards.

The Role of Organizational Commitment in Mediating the Impact of Leadership Style on Teacher Productivity at SMP Negeri 2 Permata Bener Meriah
This study examines the role of organizational commitment in mediating the impact of leadership style on teacher productivity at SMP Negeri 2 Permata in Bener Meriah Regency. Education, being a key driver of sustainable national development, necessitates teacher productivity to meet learning goals effectively. While teacher productivity is influenced by individual competence, the organizational environment and leadership style are equally pivotal. Transformational leadership, which fosters trust and motivation, is found to positively impact teacher performance. However, the influence of leadership style on productivity is not always direct, as organizational commitment plays a mediating role. Organizational commitment, representing emotional attachment and loyalty, is crucial for enhancing teacher dedication and performance. The study employs a quantitative approach using PLS-SEM to test hypotheses concerning leadership style, organizational commitment, and teacher productivity. The results indicate that leadership style has a significant positive effect on both organizational commitment and teacher productivity. Furthermore, organizational commitment significantly mediates the relationship between leadership style and teacher productivity. This research contributes to the understanding of effective leadership strategies in education and provides insights for policymakers to enhance teacher performance through improved organizational commitment.

In addition, individual characteristics have been shown to moderate the relationship between compensation and work motivation, as well as between training and work motivation. Employees with certain individual characteristics, such as age, education, and work experience, show higher levels of work motivation when they receive good compensation and training. These findings indicate that in order to increase employee work motivation, PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Pematang Siantar needs to consider not only compensation and training aspects, but also individual employee characteristics. This research is expected to be a reference for management in formulating more effective human resource development strategies.

A Systematic Literature Review on Digital Marketing Transformation: Trends, Challenges, and Future Directions in Indonesia
Digital marketing has become a critical factor in the development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia, especially in the context of digital economic transformation and increasing global competition. This study aims to examine the strategies, challenges, and impacts of digital marketing adoption among Indonesian SMEs through a literature review approach. The analysis draws from a wide range of secondary sources, including academic journals, government reports, conference proceedings, and institutional publications from 2018 to 2024. Findings indicate that the use of digital platforms—such as social media, online marketplaces, and e-commerce websites—significantly enhances product visibility and sales performance for SMEs. However, several challenges persist, including low levels of digital literacy, limited access to technological infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled human resources. Government support, collaboration with digital platforms, and ongoing training programs are key enablers for successful digital transformation. This study highlights the need for sustained public-private partnerships to ensure inclusive and sustainable digitalization of the SME sector in Indonesia.

The Meaning of Employee Engagement in The Perspective of Employees: An Explorationo The Role of Emotional Intelligence, Employee Well-Being, and Rewards at PT. PLN (Persero) ULP Tarutung
This study aims to explore the meaning of employee engagement from an employee perspective and understand how the role of emotional intelligence, employee well-being programs, and rewards contribute to employee attachment in the work environment of PT. PLN (Persero) ULP Tarutung. A qualitative approach with phenomenological study methods is used to explore the subjective experiences of employees in their daily lives. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with a number of purposively selected informants from various work units. The results of the study show that employee engagement is not only interpreted as involvement in work, but also as a form of strong emotional connection to the organization. Emotional intelligence plays an important role in helping employees manage work pressure, maintain effective communication, and strengthen a sense of belonging. Meanwhile, employee well-being programs, which include psychological support, health, and work-life balance, create working conditions that support attachment. Rewards, both financial and non-financial, are seen as a form of recognition that motivates and fosters loyalty. This study concludes that employee attachment is formed through the interaction between the emotional aspects, well-being, and appreciation received in the workplace. The implications of this study show the need for a more holistic and human-centered management approach to build sustainable engagement in organizations.
