Krisis Etika Demokrasi Politik Elektoral: Upaya Restorasi Keadaban Dalam Sistem Ketatanegaraan
This article aims to examine the ethical crisis in electoral politics in Indonesia and its implications for the nation's constitutional system. Electoral democracy, as the embodiment of people's sovereignty, has recently been challenged by political behavior that prioritizes identity politics, hoaxes, and transactional practices. The urgency of writing this article is based on the moral decline in political competition during elections, especially ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Using normative juridical methods with a conceptual and statutory approach, this article analyzes the role of political institutions and the legal framework in restoring ethical democracy. The results show that Indonesia’s electoral process still lacks an ethical foundation that can produce statesmanlike leaders. Thus, revitalizing the function of political parties, strengthening the role of electoral institutions, and embedding moral education in political recruitment are critical steps toward a dignified democratic system. electoral politicsÂ
Kajian Hukum tentang Kepatuhan Badan Usaha dalam Mendaftarkan Pekerja ke BPJS sebagai Upaya Perlindungan Pekerja
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kewajiban hukum badan usaha dalam mendaftarkan pekerja pada program jaminan sosial yang diselenggarakan oleh BPJS Kesehatan dan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, serta menganalisis konsekuensi hukum yang timbul akibat ketidakpatuhan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan menelaah peraturan perundang-undangan yang relevan, termasuk UUD 1945, Undang-Undang Nomor 40 Tahun 2004 tentang Sistem Jaminan Sosial Nasional, Undang-Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 2011 tentang BPJS, serta peraturan pelaksananya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kewajiban badan usaha untuk mendaftarkan pekerjanya bersifat imperatif atau memaksa, bersumber langsung dari amanat konstitusi. Kewajiban ini mencakup pendaftaran, pembayaran iuran rutin, dan penyampaian data yang akurat untuk seluruh jenis pekerja tanpa membedakan status hubungan kerja. Ketidakpatuhan terhadap kewajiban ini menimbulkan konsekuensi hukum yang komprehensif, meliputi tiga ranah. Pertama, sanksi administratif berupa teguran tertulis, denda, hingga pembatasan layanan publik tertentu seperti perizinan usaha. Kedua, tanggung jawab perdata, di mana pekerja dapat menuntut ganti rugi atas dasar perbuatan melawan hukum atau wanprestasi. Ketiga, potensi pertanggungjawaban pidana dalam kasus-kasus tertentu seperti penggelapan iuran. Disimpulkan bahwa kepatuhan badan usaha merupakan instrumen fundamental dalam mewujudkan perlindungan hukum bagi pekerja, dan penegakan sanksi yang konsisten menjadi kunci untuk menjamin efektivitas sistem jaminan sosial nasional.Â

CUSTOMARY MARRIAGE VS ISLAMIC: LEGAL ANALYSIS AND STATE RECOGNITION IN FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURAL THEORY
This article explores the complex interaction between customary marriage and Islamic marriage within the framework of Indonesian legal pluralism. It seeks to examine the legal validity and state recognition of marriages conducted under customary traditions compared to those performed according to Islamic law. The analysis is grounded in the functional structural theory, which posits that each legal and social institution has a function to maintain societal stability. In Indonesia, where both customary (adat) and Islamic norms operate alongside formal state law, the recognition and regulation of marriage practices become a critical point of inquiry. Through normative-juridical analysis, the study reveals that customary marriages—although socially legitimate within their local communities—often face challenges in obtaining state recognition, particularly in relation to administrative documentation such as marriage certificates and civil rights protections. Meanwhile, Islamic marriages, regulated under the Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974 and administered by the Religious Courts, receive formal recognition when they conform to procedural legal requirements. The article emphasizes the need for the state to harmonize these legal systems to avoid marginalization of indigenous practices while ensuring legal certainty for citizens. Using functional structural theory, the study argues that both customary and Islamic marriage systems serve crucial roles in maintaining social order, identity, and cohesion. Legal pluralism, when managed inclusively, can enhance rather than undermine state authority. Thus, this paper calls for more integrative legal mechanisms that accommodate Indonesia’s socio-cultural diversity without compromising legal clarity or individual rights

THE INFLUENCE OF AI USAGE AND DIGITAL INFORMAL LEARNING IN ENHANCING ISLAMIC TEACHER’S EFFECTIVENESS IN SOUTHERN PAKISTAN
At the time, when the world is going through the period of accelerated technological development, the instructional effectiveness of teachers is very important to satisfy the requirements of the modern education, especially in the context of the linguistic and culturally diverse environment. Digital informal learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become the disruptive tools to help teachers enhance their teaching activities, in particular, in the under-resourced schools. Although interest in the AI-based education is increasing, few studies have examined the combination of AI tools and digital informal learning to enhance the overall effectiveness of instruction among teachers in the Islamic secondary schools of Southern Pakistan. This quantitative research question is how AI tools can enhance English language proficiency, how digital informal learning can enhance cultural awareness, and how the two can enhance the instructional effectiveness of teachers. The survey of 450 Islamic secondary school teachers was conducted with the use of a purposive sample and the survey was carried out with the help of a structured questionnaire using SPSS (2021) with descriptive statistics and independent sample t -tests. The results indicate that AI solutions can significantly improve English language proficiency that is important in effective teaching, whereas digital informal learning helps to develop cultural awareness, allowing educators to work with different learners. These tools are combined, and they have a positive influence on the effectiveness of instruction, increasing the quality of lesson delivery, student behaviour, and classroom management. The research provides the education policy recommendation to incorporate AI and digital tools in teacher training programs, which provides an insight to policymakers and education leaders and developers of EdTech to empower teachers in linguistically and culturally diverse areas.At the time, when the world is going through the period of accelerated technological development, the instructional effectiveness of teachers is very important to satisfy the requirements of the modern education, especially in the context of the linguistic and culturally diverse environment.

Bearing this in mind, the present researcher conducted this study which aimed at revealing the opinions of the students about the DPA program. Hence, the research problems can be formulated as follows. Firstly, what are the students views on the concept and goals of DPA program? Secondly, what are the students views on the subjects offered in DPA curriculum? and Lastly, what are the students’ suggestions for the improvement of DPA program? The respondents of this study were 23 active DPA students from 2020 to 2024 batches and 2 alumni. This study was designed to use the quantitative method and the instrument was questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed using SPPS 25 and some were calculated on a percentage basis.
