SISTEM PENATAAN ADMINISTRASI TERHADAP PROGRAM PKK DI DISTRIK KALAMONO, KABUPATEN SORONG
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sistem penataan administrasi dalam pelaksanaan program Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) di Distrik Kalamono, Kabupaten Sorong. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi langsung, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem penataan administrasi program PKK di Distrik Kalamono belum berjalan optimal. Kelemahan terletak pada belum adanya standar operasional prosedur (SOP) administrasi yang seragam, rendahnya kapasitas kader dalam mengelola dokumen dan laporan, serta keterbatasan fasilitas dan infrastruktur pendukung seperti komputer dan akses internet. Di samping itu, koordinasi antara pengurus PKK dan pemerintah distrik masih lemah, serta monitoring dan evaluasi kegiatan belum dilakukan secara berkelanjutan. Meskipun demikian, telah terdapat beberapa upaya perbaikan, seperti pelatihan administrasi bagi kader, penyederhanaan format pelaporan, serta pengusulan pengadaan sarana pendukung. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya pembentukan sistem administrasi terpadu berbasis digital, pelatihan rutin kader, dan penguatan sinergi lintas sektor untuk mendukung keberhasilan program PKK di tingkat distrik
Pembangunan dan Indentitas Sosial: Kajian Literatur Tentang Interaksi Antara Modernisasi dan Pelestarian Tradisi dalam Masyarakat Lokal
Full text linkThe main objective of this study is to critically examine how modern development processes influence the construction of local communities' social identities, particularly in relation to efforts to preserve traditions. The issues raised focus on the tension between the tide of modernisation, which brings global values, and traditional identities that are passed down through cultural practices, symbols, and collective memory. This study employs a literature review methodology, examining various theoretical works and empirical research relevant to modernity that uproots social practices from their local context, as well as traditions that are deliberately recreated to affirm identity. The results of this study indicate that development through modernisation does not always lead to the severing of social identity, but rather gives rise to a dynamic of adaptation in which local communities often reconstruct traditions to remain relevant to the demands of the times. In some cases, a process of cultural hybridisation occurs, giving rise to new forms of identity that are more fluid yet still rooted in local values. Additionally, development that is solely focused on material growth has the potential to erode the substance of traditions, necessitating a development paradigm that not only accommodates modernity but also places social identity as a crucial foundation for maintaining the social and cultural sustainability of communities.Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji secara kritis bagaimana proses pembangunan yang bercorak modern memengaruhi konstruksi identitas sosial masyarakat lokal, khususnya dalam kaitannya dengan upaya pelestarian tradisi. Permasalahan yang diangkat berfokus pada ketegangan antara arus modernisasi yang membawa nilai-nilai global dengan identitas tradisional yang diwariskan melalui praktik budaya, simbol, dan memori kolektif masyarakat. Penelitian ini sepenuhnya menggunakan metode kajian literatur, dengan menelaah berbagai karya teoritis maupun penelitian empiris yang relevan mengenai modernitas yang mencabut praktik sosial dari konteks lokal serta tradisi yang sengaja diciptakan ulang untuk menegaskan identitas. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan melalui modernisasi tidak selalu menimbulkan pemutusan identitas sosial, melainkan memunculkan dinamika adaptasi di mana masyarakat lokal sering kali merekonstruksi tradisi agar tetap relevan dengan tuntutan zaman. Dalam beberapa kasus, terjadi proses hibridisasi budaya yang melahirkan bentuk identitas baru yang lebih cair namun tetap berakar pada nilai lokal. Selain itu, pembangunan yang hanya berorientasi pada pertumbuhan material berpotensi menggerus substansi tradisi, sehingga diperlukan paradigma pembangunan yang tidak sekadar mengakomodasi modernitas, tetapi juga menempatkan identitas sosial sebagai fondasi penting untuk menjaga keberlanjutan sosial dan kultural masyarakat

No full textThis study aims to analyze and identify the types of difficulties experienced by third-grade students of SD Negeri 27, Sorong City, in solving compound addition problems. Data collection was conducted using test sheets and observations of 25 students. Based on the analysis, it was found that student errors can be classified into five categories, namely: errors in understanding concepts (20%), errors in understanding questions (32%), errors in the process transformation stage (16%), errors in process skills (12%), and errors in writing the final answer (20%). Errors in understanding questions were the most dominant, while errors in process skills had the lowest percentage. The main factors causing difficulties include a lack of understanding of basic concepts, inaccuracy, and weak arithmetic skills. To overcome this problem, it is recommended to use visual learning media, gradual exercises, and reinforcement of basic concepts through a more interactive approach. This approach is expected to improve student understanding and reduce errors in solving compound addition problems.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memecahkan kesulitan siswa dalam menyelesaikan penjumlahan bersusun pada siswa kelas III SD Negeri 27 Kota Sorong.

Analyzing Investor Reaction to PT Chandra Daya Investasi’s Initial Public Offering through Abnormal Returns and Trading Volume Patterns in the Prajogo Pangestu Group
Full text linkThis research investigates how the stock market responds to the Initial Public Offering of PT Chandra Daya Investasi Tbk (CDIA) and examines its influence on abnormal returns and trading volume activities of companies within the Prajogo Pangestu Group. The study applies an event-study approach to four affiliated issuers, namely BRPT, BREN, TPIA, and CUAN, using an 11-day event window around the IPO and a 60-day estimation period for return modeling. The analysis assesses whether CDIA’s listing generated meaningful price or trading-volume reactions within the group. The findings show that the IPO did not lead to significant abnormal returns or notable changes in trading activity for the affiliated stocks. Only a minor anticipatory response appeared on T–4, while neither the event day nor the days following it exhibited a meaningful market reaction. Overall, the results suggest that the CDIA IPO was treated as a firm-specific event with limited information spillover to other companies in the group

Criminal Fines Issuing Tax Invoices Not Based on Actual Transactions with More than One Perpetrator
Full text linkCriminal fines in the case of issuance of tax invoices that are not based on actual transactions (TBTS) aim to recover losses of state revenue, but in the event that there is more than one perpetrator, the fines applied cannot be applied equally to each perpetrator because the fines applied become multiple. This writing is prepared to analyze the application of criminal fines for the issuance of TBTS tax invoices involving more than one perpetrator in the perspective of legal objectives. The research method used is normative legal research with a case study approach and a conceptual approach using the reference of Development Law Theory. This research is a new contribution to legal development in the application of criminal fines in the criminal offense of issuing TBTS tax invoices with more than one perpetrator. This writing concludes that the application of criminal fines in the case of issuance of TBTS tax invoices with more than one perpetrator is carried out proportionally and objectively according to the benefits or benefits obtained by each perpetrator in order to fulfill the principles of legal certainty, justice and expediency. The absence of rules regarding the mechanism for the application of criminal fines for the issuance of TBTS tax invoices with more than one perpetrator is an obstacle to efforts to apply criminal fines as a recovery for losses of state revenue
