Introspecting Queer Identities in Mainstream Indian Regional Cinema
The public notion across cultures in most societies has always thrived largely towards Hetero Sexuality. Historically, around the world, there is a general tendency to showcase intolerance towards sexual minorities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) and identify them as people with abnormalities. In India, talking about people with varied sexual identities and orientations is still considered to be taboo. Their voices and concerns are often unheard or unattended, and they remain underrepresented in the mainstream media. Such communities deserve a space for public discourse so that their voices are heard in a more sensitive manner. The representation of sexual minorities in Indian cinema has often historically been stereotyped, which denies them from getting acceptance in a given society. However, there are attempts to explore the themes of sexual minorities and their concerns in South Indian Cinema. Hence, it is important to study such portrayals and understand how the industry is slowly embracing the community through its narratives. In this context, the study aims to examine the construction and representation of Homosexuality in two selected Malayalam films, Moothan (2019) and The Kaathal - the Core (2023). Using a queer theoretical framework, the study further traces the emotional complexities of homosexual characters portrayed in these films. Eventually, it evaluates how these films voice homosexuals and helps to create a positive perspective about homosexuality among its viewers.

Analysis of the Impact of the 12% Value-Added Tax (VAT) Rate Increase on Consumer Behavior and Public Welfare in Indonesia
The implementation of the 12% VAT rate in 2025 has generated various public responses regarding its impact on prices, purchasing power, and household economic welfare. This study aims to analyze the influence of public understanding and perception of the policy, changes in consumption behavior, and economic welfare on public opinions and expectations regarding the 12% VAT policy. A quantitative survey method and regression analysis were employed to examine the relationship among the variables. The findings indicate that all research instruments are valid, reliable, and meet classical assumption requirements, making them suitable for further analysis. The results show that public understanding and perception, consumption behavior, and economic welfare significantly affect public opinions and expectations, with consumption behavior emerging as the strongest predictor. This suggests that price increases resulting from the VAT adjustment directly influence consumption patterns and shape public attitudes toward the policy. The study concludes that the 12% VAT policy not only contributes to state revenue but also generates notable economic and social implications that must be carefully managed. Therefore, it is recommended that the government enhance policy communication, strengthen tax literacy, provide targeted social protection programs, and ensure fiscal transparency to foster greater public acceptance of the policy.

The Effect Of Burnout and Psychological Well-Being on Turnover Intentions of Generation Z in the Klaten Region
This study examined the effect of burnout and psychological well-being on turnover intention among 98 Generation Z workers in Klaten Regency. Data were obtained through a survey using a 5-point Likert scale with a total of 30 statement items. All items have been tested for validity and reliability, with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.868 for burnout, 0.888 for psychological well-being, and 0.910 for turnover intention, thus the instrument can be declared reliable. Descriptive statistics show that burnout is at a moderate level (M = 28.94; SD = 5.81), psychological well-being is in the good category (M = 32.67; SD = 6.14), and turnover intention is in the moderate category (M = 27.88; SD = 6.02). The results of the regression analysis showed that burnout has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention (? = 0.41; p < 0.001). This means that the higher the burnout, the more likely the respondent is to intend to leave their job. In contrast, psychological well-being had a negative and significant effect (? = -0.28; p = 0.001), meaning that a good psychological condition can reduce the tendency to leave work. Regression analysis showed that the model only explained about 46.3% of the variation in turnover intention (R² = 0.463). However, the model was still statistically significant, as indicated by the F-statistic of 39.98 with a p-value below 0.001. In short, both variables are influential, and job burnout is the most important factor causing Generation Z employees to consider leaving their jobs.

Legal Analysis of The Legitimacy of Law Enforcement Intelligence Activities by The Indonesian Prosecution Service Based on The Attorney General’s Instruction No. 7 of 2023 in Handling Corruption Cases in Indonesia
Corruption constitutes an extraordinary crime due to its pervasive and destructive impact on political stability, economic integrity, and the social order of society. In combating this crime, the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia plays a crucial role not only as a public prosecutor but also as an institution vested with the authority to conduct law enforcement intelligence activities. This authority is generally regulated under Law No. 16 of 2004, as amended by Law No. 11 of 2021 on the Prosecution Service of the Republic of Indonesia. However, such provisions remain too general and fail to provide clear technical guidelines regarding the scope, mechanisms, and oversight of prosecutorial intelligence operations. To optimize this function, the Attorney General issued Instruction No. 7 of 2023, which emphasizes the intelligence function of the Prosecution Service in supporting general criminal law enforcement, special criminal acts, and corruption prevention. Nevertheless, the Instruction remains an internal administrative directive with no binding external legal force. This research adopts a normative juridical method, employing statutory, conceptual, comparative, and case study approaches. The findings reveal that the prosecutorial intelligence function is strategically significant in supporting anti-corruption efforts. However, juridical weaknesses persist, potentially resulting in normative conflicts and risks of human rights violations. Therefore, the study concludes that a statutory-level regulation is necessary to strengthen the legality and accountability of prosecutorial intelligence within Indonesia’s criminal justice system.

Legal Analysis of The Criminal Acts of Village Fund Budget Corruption (Study of The Simalungun District Prosecutor's Office
This research, entitled “A Juridical Analysis of Village Fund Corruption Crimes (A Case Study at the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office),” is motivated by the increasing number of cases involving the misuse of village funds that have caused state financial losses and eroded public trust in village governments. The study aims to analyze how the law is applied in cases of village fund corruption handled by the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office, to identify the obstacles encountered by prosecutors in handling such cases, and to evaluate the effectiveness of law enforcement in eradicating corruption involving village funds. The research adopts a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, focusing on the Kardianto case handled by the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office. The data sources consist of primary legal materials, such as legislation and indictment documents; secondary legal materials, including books, journals, and previous research; and tertiary legal materials, such as legal dictionaries and encyclopedias. The findings reveal that the application of law in cases of village fund corruption has been carried out in accordance with Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and Law No. 6 of 2014 on Villages. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement remains hindered by overlapping regulations, limited human resources, weak inter-agency coordination, and low levels of legal awareness among the community. Nevertheless, the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office has demonstrated progressive measures through the implementation of the Jaksa Garda Desa (Village Guardian Prosecutor) program and the digitalization of public-fund monitoring. The study concludes that law enforcement against village fund corruption in the jurisdiction of the Simalungun District Prosecutor’s Office has been relatively effective in its repressive aspects but needs strengthening in preventive and participatory dimensions. Institutional reform, capacity building for law enforcement officers, and active community participation are essential to establishing transparent, accountable, and corruption-free village governance.

Application of the Ultimum Remedium Principle to Environmental Crimes in Indonesia
The principle of ultimum remedium in environmental criminal law is a principle that places criminal sanctions as the last resort after administrative and civil sanctions are no longer effective. This principle aims to ensure that environmental law enforcement proceeds proportionally and not repressively. However, in practice in Indonesia, the application of the ultimum remedium principle often creates a dilemma between environmental protection and economic development interests. Many environmental violations such as forest fires, river pollution, and illegal mining activities are resolved only through administrative measures without criminal sanctions, even though the resulting damage is highly significant. This study employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze the extent to which the implementation of the ultimum remedium principle can uphold ecological justice. The research findings show that the application of this principle in Indonesia tends to be weak, as many environmental violations are not prosecuted criminally under the pretext of efficiency and economic stability. In fact, environmental criminal law plays a crucial role as a deterrent instrument against environmental crimes. Therefore, environmental law reform in Indonesia needs to be directed toward strengthening criminal law enforcement against offenders—especially corporations responsible for large-scale environmental damage.

Criminal Law Policy in Addressing Transnational Crimes Against Cases of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a form of transnational crime that has a broad impact on security, public order, and human rights. This crime involves cross-border networks with increasingly complex modus operandi, necessitating comprehensive and adaptive criminal law policies. This study aims to analyze criminal law policies addressing human trafficking in Indonesia, with an emphasis on prevention, prosecution, and victim protection. The method used is normative legal research with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The analysis shows that combating human trafficking requires synergy between national regulations, international cooperation, increased capacity of law enforcement officials, and effective victim protection mechanisms. Furthermore, integrating criminal law policies with social, economic, and employment policies is crucial to addressing the root causes of this crime. This study concludes that the success of criminal law policies in addressing human trafficking is largely determined by consistent implementation, official commitment, and public participation.

Analysis of the Relationship between Abuse of Power in Corruption Crimes and the Principles of Islamic Constitutional Law (A Fiqh Siyasah Review)
Abuse of office leading to criminal acts of corruption is one of the greatest threats to governance and public welfare in Indonesia and other Muslim countries. From the perspective of Islamic constitutional law —which is a branch of fiqh siyasah (especially siyasah dusturiyah)—public office is understood not merely as administrative power, but as a mandate that must be carried out with the principles of justice (al-‘adl), responsibility (al-mas’uliyyah), and orientation towards the public interest (maslahah ‘ammah). Any form of abuse of power and authority in public office is seen as a betrayal of the trust given by Allah SWT and society. This article aims to analyse the relationship between abuse of office leading to corruption and violations of the principles of Islamic constitutional law, particularly within the framework of fiqh siyasah. This study uses a qualitative-normative approach with a literature review method of classical Islamic sources such as the works of Al-Mawardi and Ibn Taymiyyah, as well as contemporary literature discussing governance reform based on Islamic values. The data was analysed using a descriptive-analytical approach by comparing the concept of official responsibility in Islamic law and the provisions of positive Indonesian law, particularly Law No. 31 of 1999 and Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption. The results of the study show that abuse of office not only violates positive legal norms but also contradicts Islamic moral and spiritual principles that emphasise integrity, trustworthiness, and social justice. Fiqh siyasah offers a paradigm of governance oriented towards the welfare of the people with moral and institutional oversight through the concepts of hisbah and shura. Therefore, strengthening internal and external control mechanisms and internalising the values of fiqh siyasah into the national legal system are very important as efforts to prevent systemic corruption. Thus, the integration of Islamic constitutional law values and Indonesian positive law is expected to build clean, fair, and God-based governance.

Evolution of Bureaucratic Reform: A Comparative Analysis of Institutional Frameworks and Digital Governance in Indonesian and Malaysian State Administrations
This article examines how institutional trajectories, merit-based civil service reforms, and digital governance interact to shape bureaucratic reform in two post-colonial states: Indonesia and Malaysia. The study addresses two questions: (1) how do differences in institutional frameworks and reform trajectories influence the design and implementation of merit-based administrative systems in both countries; and (2) to what extent do digital governance strategies reinforce or compromise meritocratic principles, transparency, efficiency, and citizen participation. Using a qualitative, literature-based comparative approach and a structured, focused comparison along three analytical dimensions (institutional trajectories, merit systems, and digital governance), the article synthesizes findings from academic studies, policy documents, and international indices. The analysis shows that Indonesia, moving from a highly centralized colonial and authoritarian legacy to radical decentralization, has developed a formally advanced merit framework but faces a persistent gap between rules and practice, producing a pattern of (strong formalization, weak enforcement). Malaysia, with a relatively stable federal, Westminster legacy, exhibits a (structured merit) system embedded in an ethnically based political settlement. In digital governance, Indonesia pursues ambitious but fragmented multi-level reforms, while Malaysia follows a more centralized and programmatic trajectory. The article concludes that global scripts of meritocracy and digital governance are refracted through historically specific institutional and political configurations.

Impact of Increasing Food Prices on Dietary Diversity and Consumption Patterns among Students of the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh
Introduction: Rising food prices, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war, and climate change, have emerged as a pressing global issue. In Bangladesh, this has led to significant increases in food costs, impacting various groups, including university students. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of rising food prices on the dietary diversity and food consumption patterns of students at Dhaka University, with a focus on Kabi Jasim Uddin Hall canteen due to its standardized management system and accessibility. Method: A qualitative research design was employed, incorporating semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews (KII), and focus group discussions (FGD) to explore students lived experiences and coping mechanisms in response to increased food costs. Results: Findings revealed a notable shift in students’ dietary habits due to financial constraints. Many reported reducing food intake and avoiding non-essential food items. Coping strategies included portion control, skipping meals, and focusing on basic, low-cost food options. These outcomes align with similar studies in other South Asian countries, including India and Pakistan. Conclusion: The study highlights the urgent need to address the impact of food inflation on university students. Recommendations include implementing subsidized food programs, offering financial literacy support, promoting on-campus vegetable gardening, initiating food aid for vulnerable students, and collaborating with canteen authorities for price regulation. These measures aim to improve access to a nutritionally diverse diet and support student well-being amid ongoing economic challenges.

Regeneration of the Besemah Language as an Effort to Weave Traditions into Digital Media
Language and culture are related, as is society. In today's modern era, how the development of language and culture is interdependent and side by side, racing with the flow of technological progress and the development of knowledge. In millennial or urban societies, language and culture are increasingly eroded by the progress of the times (1). Regional languages are valuable assets of a nation, but the 21st century community paradigm considers that foreign languages have higher prestige than national languages and regional languages (2). The urgency of research is a shift in local wisdom, namely the decreasing interest in the use of the Besemah language used by the Besemah tribe in South Sumatra in local content lessons, because the Besemah language is a cultural heritage of the Indonesian nation. However, in the current digital era, the Besemah language faces a serious threat due to the dominance of the Palembang language, Indonesian and foreign languages, especially among the younger generation. With the advancement of technology and globalization, the Besemah language is increasingly being marginalized in everyday life. Therefore, it is important to find ways to preserve and develop the Besemah language by utilizing digital technology as a means that can reach the younger generation and the wider community. There are many factors that cause a language to persist or shift in both minority and immigrant groups (3). The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges and obstacles of the Besemah language in the digital era, and to find effective strategies to utilize technology such as digital media to preserve and develop the Besemah language. While the method used is a qualitative research method (4). With the case study method and digital content analysis. Where data is collected through interviews, observations and document analysis.

The Use of Gamification Methods Through Thematic Activities to Enhance Vocabulary Mastery of Fifth Grade Students at SDN 006 Palembang
This study examines the effectiveness of gamification methods integrated with thematic activities in enhancing the vocabulary mastery of fifth-grade students at SDN 006 Palembang. The research was motivated by students’ common challenges in memorizing and retaining vocabulary. The objective was to determine whether there is a significant difference in vocabulary achievement between students taught using gamification and those taught through conventional methods. A quantitative approach with a pre-test–post-test experimental design was applied. The participants were two fifth-grade classes: class 5B as the experimental group (N = 29) and class 5A as the control group (N = 30). A 50-item vocabulary test served as the main instrument. Due to the non-normal distribution of data, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used for within-group analysis, and the Mann-Whitney U Test was used for between-group analysis.The results showed significant improvement in both groups from pre-test to post-test. However, the experimental group achieved a higher post-test mean rank (34.79) than the control group (25.37), with a statistically significant difference (p = .033). These findings indicate that the use of gamification integrated with thematic activities has a significant positive impact on improving vocabulary mastery among fifth-grade students.

Policy Analysis on Sending Misbehaving Students to Military Barracks from the Perspective of Development Law and National Defense
Recently, populist policies have increasingly been adopted by public officials to enhance their political image, including education-related policies issued by the Governor of West Java, which subsequently sparked criticism from various stakeholders. Therefore, this study aims to examine the policy of sending “problematic” students to military barracks through the lens of development law and a responsive, socially just conception of national defense (bela negara). This research employs a normative juridical method using a scientific approach that includes the statute approach and the conceptual approach. The findings of this study indicate that the policy of sending students to military barracks requires thorough legal examination to ensure that its legal objectives are clear and do not violate human rights. This is particularly important as not all members of society agree with such a policy; the aim of national defense is not the militarization of children but the internalization of Pancasila values and moral discipline. Thus, sending students to military barracks does not automatically align with the concept of national defense when the measures implemented are coercive, discriminatory, and unsupported by psychological and pedagogical educational principles. Furthermore, this policy is inconsistent with the characteristics of responsive development law, which prioritizes the protection of vulnerable groups and emphasizes social justice. A comprehensive evaluation of this policy is therefore necessary, taking into account sociological, legal, and human rights perspectives, as well as educational and rehabilitative approaches.

The Relationship Between Hemodialysis Frequency and the Tendency of Depressive Symptoms Among Dialysis Patients
Background: Patients undergoing hemodialysis often experience both physical and psychological impacts. This study aimed to determine the relationship between hemodialysis frequency and the tendency of depressive symptoms. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at three hospitals in Kupang City: Siloam Hospital Kupang, Prof. W.Z. Yohanes Regional Hospital, and dr. Ben Mboi Central Hospital. Research variables included hemodialysis frequency and the tendency of depressive symptoms. Data were collected using the BDI-II questionnaire through interviews or self-administration. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s correlation with a 95% confidence level. Results: Among 163 respondents, 5 (3.1%) had a low frequency, 140 (85.9%) had a moderate frequency, and 18 (11%) had a high frequency. A total of 101 patients (62%) were categorized as normal, 28 (17.5%) had mild depression, 22 (13.5%) moderate depression, and 12 (7.4%) severe depression. Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between hemodialysis frequency and depressive symptom tendency (p = 0.491 > 0.05). Conclusion: Although many hemodialysis patients experienced depressive symptoms, statistical analysis did not show a significant association between hemodialysis frequency and the tendency of depressive symptoms. Further studies are needed to explore other factors influencing depression in this population.

The Role of Media Relations and Information Disclosure in the Positive Image of the South Tangerang Police
This study aims to discuss the role of media relations and information disclosure in building a positive image of the South Tangerang Police. In the digital age, police public relations are not only required to convey information, but also to manage public perception through communication strategies that are transparent, participatory, and adaptive to technology. Using a qualitative approach based on a literature review, this study analyzes the communication strategies of the South Tangerang Police Public Relations Department through the use of social media and partnerships with local media. The results show that the success of building a positive image of the police is determined by a combination of information transparency, the use of digital technology, the strengthening of media relations, and the strategic management of negative issues. However, challenges such as disinformation, trust deficits, and resource constraints remain obstacles that must be anticipated. Therefore, communication innovation, digital literacy, and continuous evaluation are important factors in strengthening the legitimacy and public trust in police institutions.

The Influence of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in the Formulation of Migrant Worker Protection Policies in East Java
This article examines the influence of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in the drafting of East Java Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2022 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. This topic is important because subnational governments are required to play a role in migrant worker protection, yet the pathways through which global labor norms enter local regulations remain understudied. Using a qualitative approach through interviews and document analysis, the study traces how international principles, particularly the 1990 International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICRMW) were incorporated into regional policymaking. The findings show that although no formal collaboration existed between the ILO and the East Java Provincial Parliament, the ILO's influence emerged through the diffusion of global standards on safe migration, fair recruitment, and legal protection, which became substantive references during the drafting process. These results demonstrate that the diffusion of international norms can occur through multi-level governance mechanisms, where international actors shape subnational legislation indirectly through knowledge production and policy advocacy.

Generation Z Consumers’ Perceptions of Purchasing Intention Toward Organic Agricultural Products in Padang City
This study investigates Generation Z consumers’ purchase intention toward organic agricultural products in Padang City by examining the influence of digital, economic, social, and perceptual factors. The research topic is important due to the increasing global demand for organic food and the need to understand the behavioral determinants that shape healthy consumption patterns among young populations. The study hypothesizes that these four variables significantly affect purchase intention. A quantitative approach was employed using an online survey distributed to 73 Generation Z respondents, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that all variables significantly contribute to purchase intention, with consumer perception emerging as the strongest predictor, followed by digital and social factors, while economic constraints remain a major barrier. The model explains 62% of the variance in purchase intention, indicating substantial predictive power. These findings highlight that health-related beliefs, digital exposure, and social norms play a critical role in shaping healthy consumption behavior among young consumers. The study contributes to health sciences by demonstrating that promoting organic food consumption requires integrating health education with digital communication and socio-economic considerations

Pricing System For Indonesia’s Freight Forwarding Industry: A Case Study Of PT Adhi Surya Amanah
PT Adhi Surya Amanah (ASA Trans), a domestic B2B freight forwarding company in Indonesia, faces persistent inefficiencies in its pricing process that hinder operational speed, accuracy, and competitiveness. The company relies heavily on manual quotation preparation using fragmented information spread across spreadsheets, emails, and handwritten records. This results in inconsistent pricing decisions, long quote response times, and a heavy reliance on staff interpretation, limiting the company's ability to respond efficiently to customer demand in an increasingly competitive logistics environment. These inefficiencies pose both scientific and managerial challenges, as accurate and timely pricing is a key factor in determining profitability and market performance in freight forwarding. Therefore, this study aims to develop, test, and implement a data-driven price forecasting infrastructure that can increase efficiency, reduce human error, and improve strategic decision-making at ASA Trans. The research begins by identifying the root causes of inefficiency through a detailed assessment of ASA Trans’s operational workflow. This evaluation identified four key challenges: unstructured and fragmented pricing information, manual verification, lack of access to real-time cost and market data, and over-reliance on subjective judgment. All of these issues lead to decreased operational reliability and limit the company's ability to grow. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a forecasting model to be developed based on the premise that ASA Trans' historical records of freight, cost, and pricing information are sufficient to provide the operational trends necessary for accurate forecasting. The study also assumes that market factors such as fuel and toll prices are subject to specific, predictable trends. The objectives of this study include determining the data requirements for price prediction, comparing forecasting techniques, creating a practical prototype of a price forecasting system, and integrating the system into ASA Trans' workflow. To achieve these objectives, the researchers employed a multi-stage methodology. Primary data was collected using internal freight data, operational cost records, and historical prices, while secondary data was collected in the form of freight benchmarks and competitor rate cards. Analysis Phase: The machine learning process involved is structured and includes data cleaning, standardization, exploratory data analysis, model development, and validation. Supervised learning technology was applied to three models: Multiple Linear Regression, Random Forest, and LightGBM to determine which approach provided the most accurate and operational predictions. Model evaluation is conducted using MAE, RMSE, and MAPE, supported by business-oriented validation criteria that measure quotation speed, usability, and alignment with financial objectives. The findings indicated that the best model was the Random Forest model, which had the lowest error and the most consistent results across various shipping situations. The fact that this model can capture nonlinear relationships makes it a favorable solution for the multifaceted and cost-based structure found in the Indonesian domestic freight market. The implementation of the Random Forest model was realized in a web-based Price Forecasting System created at ASA Trans. The implementation phase transformed the model into a working tool that can input estimated shipping costs, estimated operational costs, and estimated lead times with minimal user input. Test results showed that bid completion time was reduced from several hours to minutes, indicating significant improvements in operational efficiency. The fact that this system improves consistency, reduces administrative workload, and enhances the accuracy of pricing decisions was confirmed by user feedback during the training and socialization phases. This system is also capable of providing structured and continuous cost details, which increases transparency and enhances customer trust. This research contributes to scientific knowledge by demonstrating the practical application of machine learning in pricing optimization for domestic freight forwarding. It also establishes an empirical foundation for integrating predictive analytics into pricing workflows in small to mid-scale logistics companies in emerging markets. In the case of ASA Trans, the forecasting system is a strategic move towards digitalization, which will have long-term advantages with better pricing management, uniform decision-making, and preparedness to undertake an automation initiative in the future, like a more comprehensive Transportation Management System (TMS).

Critical Thinking in Multimodal ELT Materials: A Discourse Analysis of Tasks and Visuals in Bahasa Inggris Tingkat Lanjut (Grade XI)
Critical thinking is a very important skill in English Language Teaching (ELT), especially in learning contexts that still rely heavily on textbooks as the main source. This study aims to examine how critical thinking skills are represented in multimodal ELT learning resources. The analysis focuses on the relationship between learning activities and visual elements in Advanced English textbooks for grade 11, to determine the extent to which these two aspects support each other in fostering students' critical thinking skills. The research is based on the premise that the development of critical thinking is influenced not only by verbal instructions but also by the purposeful integration of visual modes. Adopting a qualitative research approach, the study applied multimodal discourse analysis to selected information-dense tasks that incorporate both textual directives and visual components. The analysis examined task categories, cognitive demands according to Bloom’s revised taxonomy, visual functions, and markers of critical thinking. The results of the study indicate that critical thinking skills can be developed through pedagogical alignment between learning tasks and visual elements. The results of the study indicate that narrative images can develop analytical and evaluative skills, ideologically charged visuals support critical assessment and argument development, while conceptual visuals help students organize analysis and interpret ideas creatively. These findings confirm that visual elements only play an effective role in improving higher-order thinking skills when consciously designed and combined with tasks that require complex cognitive processes, thus emphasizing the importance of planned multimodal design in ELT teaching materials.

Management Arrangement, Human Resources, and Accountability in Improving the Quality of Services at the Community and Village Empowerment Office (DPMD) of South Halmahera Regency
The bureaucracy within the Community and Village Empowerment Office (DPMD) of South Halmahera Regency presents significant challenges related to the complexity of administrative systems. The most urgent issues requiring restructuring involve unclear and unmeasured systems, processes, and work procedures; an underdeveloped service culture; an organizational structure that does not align with the service mission; and low professionalism and human resource quality. Furthermore, the bureaucratic structure remains oriented toward control and authority rather than service delivery. The distribution of authority tends to be partial, not comprehensive, and rationality and professionalism remain far from expectations.This study aims to analyze how management arrangements, human resource (HR) capacity, and accountability contribute to improving public service quality at DPMD South Halmahera. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using a case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data collection, reduction, display, verification, and conclusion drawing.The results show that management arrangements at DPMD have not yet operated optimally, as evidenced by overlapping duties and weak inter-departmental coordination. Most HR personnel do not yet meet the required qualifications and need continuous competency development, especially in technology and digital service delivery. In terms of accountability, reporting mechanisms lack transparency, and supervision and evaluation are not conducted systematically and comprehensively. Overall, the quality of public service delivery at DPMD still requires improvement through better management systems, HR capacity development, and stronger, participatory accountability mechanisms.

Stock Price Performance of LQ45 Companies Before and After the 2024 General Election
This study examines the stock price performance of firms included in the LQ45 index before and after Indonesia’s 2024 General Election (Pemilu). A quantitative comparative event-study approach is applied using Abnormal Return (AR) and Cumulative Abnormal Return (CAR) as key metrics. The sample consists of 45 LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Expected returns are estimated using the Market-Adjusted Model (expected return equals market/IHSG return), with an observation window of t?3 to t?1 (pre-event) and t+1 to t+3 (post-event). Data were calculated in Microsoft Excel and statistically tested in SPSS using a normality test, Paired Sample T-Test, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test as a robustness check. Descriptive results indicate changes in AR patterns between the pre- and post-election periods. The Paired Sample T-Test shows that the difference is not significant at the 5% level (p = 0.079) but is marginal at the 10% level. In contrast, the Wilcoxon test reveals a significant difference at the 5% level (p = 0.024), with most stocks exhibiting lower abnormal returns after the election (32 stocks post < pre). Overall, the findings suggest an asymmetric market reaction, with abnormal performance relatively stronger before the event and weakening afterward.

Separation of State Assets in State-Owned Enterprises from State Liability for Losses
The issue of state finance and the separation of state assets in SOEs lies at the intersection of criminal law on corruption, state financial law, and state corporate law, so that the relationship between regimes must be arranged so that corporate losses are not automatically treated as state losses or vice versa. The reform of the 2025 SOE Law emphasizes corporate autonomy that is supervised through audits and the principle of lex specialis. Research Objectives Analyze the legal status of separated state assets in SOEs within the framework of state finances and examine the effect of such separation on the limits of liability for state losses. The research method used is normative juridical based on secondary data with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data were collected through a literature study of the 1945 Constitution, the Corruption Law, the State Finance Law, the 2025 SOE Law, and decisions, then analyzed qualitatively. Research Results The status of separated assets is layered on the horizon of permanent ownership including state finances according to Law 17/2003, while on the horizon of management it becomes corporate capital according to Law 1/2025 in conjunction with Law 16/2025 and the principles of good corporate governance. Losses from state-owned enterprises (SOEs) transform into state losses if they are proven to have reduced state fiscal capacity due to fiduciary violations outside the business judgment rule. Furthermore, the separation of assets creates a multi-layered accountability regime based on fault-based liability and positions the SOE Law as a lex specialis, requiring both corporate and fiscal tests before the Corruption Eradication Law is applied as the ultimum remedium.

Village Community Adaptation to Agricultural Downstreaming
Agricultural downstream innovation in Buru Regency, Maluku, has significant potential to absorb local labor, reduce unemployment, and improve the welfare of rural communities. The region's abundant natural resources should be utilized to support national food security through efficient agricultural processing. This study employed a qualitative method with an explanatory case study approach to examine the causal relationships between variables. Thirty informants were selected purposively from seven villages. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation, then analyzed thematically using MAXQDA 24.4.1 software. The findings indicate that rural communities are actively adapting to agricultural downstreaming through social and economic strategies, while preserving cultural heritage. This process combines value-added creation, risk management, and social capital utilization. However, for socio-economic resilience to be sustainable, support is needed in the form of technology adoption, resource access, and inclusive social participation. Future policies should strengthen social capital, preserve local values, economic innovation, and community participation. Further research is recommended to explore the impact of value changes, technological barriers, social capital mapping, and a comparison of adaptation models.

Simultaneously, the research model remains valid and significant (F = 6.234; p = 0.006), confirming that both independent variables are important determinants in improving the quality of financial reporting. Overall, this study emphasizes that companies need to prioritize strengthening accounting systems and developing accountant competencies as key strategies in improving the quality of financial reporting. Meanwhile, the use of Accurate software is more appropriately positioned as an operational support tool, rather than as a factor capable of strengthening the relationship between the main research variables.

Capacity of Civil Service Police and Fire Department in Controlling Street Vendors in Sukabumi City
This study analyzes the capacity of the Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Satpol PP) and Pemadam kebakaran (Damkar) of Sukabumi City in enforcing regulations Pedagang Kaki Lima (PKL) trading in prohibited areas, as stipulated in Sukabumi City Regional Regulation No. 10 of 2013, Pasal 21. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews with officials (Cikole, Diskumindag), PKL, residents of R. Syamsudin SH Street, observations, and documentation. Policy capacity was measured using five dimensions from Horton et al. (2003): human resources, infrastructure-technology-financial resources, strategic leadership, program management and implementation processes, and collaboration networks. Findings reveal limitations in human resources (personnel shortages, multifunctional rotations, short operational hours); outdated infrastructure (aging vehicles, limited CCTV, reliance on e-lapor); adaptive strategic leadership via daily briefings and school socialization despite flexible relocations; phased management (persuasion, tiered warnings, UMKM coaching); and inter-agency networks (with Dishub, Police, sub-districts) requiring enhanced joint sweeps in high-risk zones like Ahmad Yani and seven prohibited streets. Key challenges include vendor resistance (high relocation costs), banner damage, budget constraints, and low e-lapor awareness. Recommendations emphasize training enhancements, infrastructure renewal, consistent evaluation cycles, monthly meetings, and digital socialization for sustainable enforcement.
