Transformational Leadership on OCB with the Mediating Role of Organizational Culture
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) with the mediating role of organizational culture among employees of Hotel Daima Padang.

Limitation of Fuel Subsidy in Healthizing State Revenue and Expenditure Budget
Get PDFFuel oil (BBM) subsidy policy in Indonesia has been an important element in economic policy since the era of President Soeharto's administration. Initially, this subsidy was aimed at maintaining energy price stability and protecting people's purchasing power, especially low-income groups. However, over time, fuel subsidies have created various economic and environmental problems, including a large burden on the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN), economic distortions, and obstacles to the renewable energy transition. This research uses a normative legal approach to analyze fuel subsidy policies within the framework of the welfare state in Indonesia, with the aim of formulating more effective regulations. The data used is primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials which are analyzed descriptively-analytically. The research results show that the fuel subsidy policy has not been effective and efficient, with most of the benefits being enjoyed by the middle and upper income groups, while those who should benefit, namely the poor, are left behind. Therefore, it is necessary to reformulate fuel subsidy policies with the principles of social justice, economic sustainability, transparency and accountability. Formulating more targeted policies, developing renewable energy, and implementing the principles of good governance will strengthen the welfare state and support more equitable and sustainable development

Get PDFThe ASKIA CERIA (Smart and Friendly Child Population System Application) program is an innovative population administration service designed to accelerate the process of issuing Child Identity Cards (KIA) in Langkat Regency. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the ASKIA CERIA program, identify the challenges faced, and evaluate optimization strategies that can be carried out. A qualitative descriptive approach is used in this study with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that the implementation of ASKIA CERIA in the issuance of KIA in the Disdukcapil of Langkat Regency still faces challenges in aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Improvement efforts are needed to improve communication strategies, the quality of human resources, budget allocation, motivation for implementers, as well as cross-level coordination and flexibility of procedures so that the program can run more optimally and the benefits are felt by the community.

This study concludes that the digitization of public services through programs such as ASKIA CERIA can be a solution to improve service efficiency, as long as it is accompanied by an inclusive approach and adequate infrastructure support. This finding is expected to be a reference for the development of similar innovations in other regions

Get PDFTraffic accidents are a serious problem that affects public safety and has a significant social and economic impact. This study aims to analyze the optimization of the performance of the Serdang Bedagai Police in overcoming traffic accidents in its jurisdiction. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation studies which were then analyzed in depth. The results of the study show that the main factors causing traffic accidents in Serdang Bedagai Regency are human factors, vehicle factors, and environmental factors.

Legal Perspective on the Practice of Illegal Mobile Phone Trading with Fake IMEI
Get PDFThe illegal trade of mobile phones with fake IMEI is a serious problem that has an impact on various aspects, including economic, legal, as well as security and social. This study aims to analyze the legal arrangements, impacts, and legal liabilities for those who sell mobile phones with illegal IMEI in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with normative analysis techniques on laws and regulations, case studies, and studies of previous research. The results of the study show that although regulations related to IMEI control have been implemented through the Telecommunications Law, the ITE Law, and the Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information, their implementation and supervision are still experiencing obstacles. From an economic perspective, the circulation of illegal devices causes state losses due to the loss of potential taxes and import duties. From a legal perspective, weak supervision of marketplaces and distribution networks of illegal devices hinders the effectiveness of the policies that have been set. In addition, sanctions against illegal IMEI traders still do not provide an optimal deterrent effect. This study recommends strengthening law enforcement, increasing supervision of online marketplaces, and educating the public about the importance of buying devices with official IMEIs. With these steps, it is hoped that the circulation of illegal mobile phones can be suppressed and IMEI regulations can run more effectively
Community Empowerment through the Family Development Session of the Family Hope Program (Case Study)
Get PDFCommunity empowerment is a strategic approach in overcoming complex poverty. This research aims to analyze the implementation, results, obstacles and solutions for community empowerment through Family Development Sessions (FDS) in the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Kadipiro Village, Sambirejo District, Sragen Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation studies. Research informants were selected purposely, consisting of social assistants and Beneficiary Families (KPM). The research results show that FDS plays an important role in increasing KPM's awareness, abilities and life skills. However, there are obstacles such as low KPM participation, limited accompanying resources, and a lack of effective training modules. The proposed solutions include developing modules based on local needs, increasing companion training, and optimizing participatory strategies. This research provides important insights for the development of more inclusive and sustainable community empowerment programs
Emerging Trends in Vaccine Development Integrating Pharmaceutical Science with Public Health
Get PDFThe rapid evolution of vaccine science accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic has generated profound shifts in the landscape of global health, biotechnology, and public policy. This study conducts a thematic scoping review to critically examine emerging paradigms in vaccine development, focusing on their scientific innovation, translational pathways, regulatory integration, and public health implementation. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature and strategic policy documents from 2018 to 2025, the analysis identifies four interrelated domains: (1) technological innovation in platforms such as mRNA, saRNA, AI-guided antigen design, and nanocarrier systems; (2) translational pharmacology, including the challenges of real-world implementation, personalized immunization, and genomically-informed vaccinology; (3) policy integration and the tensions between global regulatory architectures, intellectual property regimes, and regional manufacturing autonomy; and (4) public health implementation, where infrastructure, sociopolitical trust, and health equity shape uptake and access. Across all domains, the study finds that scientific progress alone is insufficient to ensure global immunization justice. Instead, the translation of vaccine innovation into equitable impact is mediated by structural inequalities, geopolitical asymmetries, and the uneven capacities of health systems. The findings underscore the urgent need for ethically grounded, interdisciplinary strategies that align biotechnological advancement with equitable public health outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income contexts
