Legal analysis of Judge's considerations in the decision of expiration of prosecution to be resolved legally in military discipline (Case Study Decision of the Main Military Court Number:27-K/PMU/BDG/AD/VI/2023)
No full textPurpose: the author is interested in conducting this research; One of the problems related to the dilemma between formal or material categories can be seen related to the expiration date.
Research methodology: This research is a normative legal research by discussing case studies of existing court decisions and is linked to applicable provisions and regulations and the opinions of legal scholars.
Conclusions: The conclusion of this study is that the statute of limitations (verjaring) is regulated in Article 78 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) which is in fact the time limit for the public prosecutor to exercise his prosecution authority. In fact, the statute of limitations is a material aspect that is considered no longer needed for criminalization because it exceeds the time. However, there is an opinion that considers that the statute of limitations is a formal scope, because it is related to the administration of a case, not the main material of the case. On this basis, it can be seen that there are differences of opinion regarding the scope of the statute of limitations, which is in fact debated between the material or formal realm
Legal analysis of the use of artificial intelligence systems in military operations carried out by the TNI reviewed from the principles of humanitarian law
No full textPurpose: This study analyzes the application of artificial intelligence systems in military operations by the TNI by paying attention to the enforcement of humanitarian law principles.

Changes in the pattern of military operations require a clear legal framework and strict enforcement to ensure that their use by the TNI does not violate the principles of humanitarian law.
Suggestions: This study suggests the need to develop more comprehensive national and international regulations to regulate the use of artificial intelligence systems in military operations carried out by the TNI in order to comply with the principles of humanitarian law
The effect of financial inclusion on poverty rate in Sumatra Island
No full textPurpose: Poverty is still one of the main problems faced by developing countries like Indonesia, despite having experienced significant economic progress in recent decades. Economic inequality in Indonesia can be illustrated through an inverted triangle pattern, where most people live in poverty, while a handful of groups enjoy prosperity. Although the poverty rate in Indonesia is decreasing, there are still regions, especially on the island of Sumatra, that record higher poverty rates than other regions. In this case, financial inclusion is one of the solutions that is considered effective to reduce poverty. Access to adequate financial services provides opportunities for poor people to improve their well-being through savings, credit, or insurance. In addition, price stability is also important in poverty control. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial inclusion and inflation on poverty reduction on the island of Sumatra in the period 2017 to 2023.
Research methodology: This study uses a quantitative approach with panel data from 10 provinces on the island of Sumatra.
Results: The results of the regression analysis showed that the Financial Inclusion Index (IKK) had a significant negative effect on the poverty rate. In addition, inflation also has a significant negative effect on the poverty rate
