Tinjauan Yuridis Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Korporasi Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2023
type: item
description: Objective: This study aims to analyze corporate criminal liability under Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code, particularly the juridical formulation of Article 45 which recognizes corporations as subjects of criminal law. Method: This research employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. Legal materials were collected through literature study and analyzed qualitatively using descriptive-analytical methods. Results: The study finds that Article 45 of Law Number 1 of 2023 explicitly recognizes corporations as criminal law subjects that can be held liable for criminal offenses committed for and/or on behalf of the corporation. The provision establishes a legal framework for corporate criminal liability by regulating the requirements for liability, parties who may be held accountable, and the scope of criminal sanctions imposed on corporations. The formulation reflects the adoption of modern doctrines of corporate criminal liability, including identification theory, vicarious liability, and corporate culture approaches. The application of these provisions is evident in corporate crime cases such as PT Duta Palma Group, where corporations are treated as entities capable of bearing criminal responsibility. Conclusion: The regulation of corporate criminal liability under Article 45 represents a significant reform in Indonesian criminal law by providing legal certainty regarding the status of corporations as criminal law subjects. The provision strengthens the effectiveness of law enforcement against corporate crime while promoting justice, legal certainty, and protection of public interests.

Perkembangan Konsep Tujuan Pemidanaan dalam Hukum Pidana Indonesia Pasca Berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2023
type: item
description: Berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2023 tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) menandai perubahan mendasar dalam sistem pemidanaan di Indonesia. Jika KUHP lama lebih berorientasi pada pembalasan (retributive) dan pemberian efek jera kepada pelaku, KUHP baru mengadopsi pendekatan yang lebih humanis dengan mengintegrasikan aspek perlindungan masyarakat, rehabilitasi pelaku, dan pemulihan keseimbangan sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan konsep tujuan pemidanaan dalam hukum pidana Indonesia pasca berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2023 serta mengkaji implikasinya terhadap sistem peradilan pidana nasional. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Data yang digunakan berupa bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier yang dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pasal 51 KUHP secara eksplisit merumuskan tujuan pemidanaan yang meliputi pencegahan tindak pidana, pembinaan dan pemasyarakatan terpidana, penyelesaian konflik melalui pemulihan keseimbangan antara pelaku, korban, dan masyarakat, serta penumbuhan rasa penyesalan pada diri pelaku. Perumusan tersebut menunjukkan pergeseran paradigma dari orientasi pembalasan menuju pendekatan integratif yang menggabungkan tujuan retributif, preventif, rehabilitatif, dan restoratif. Perkembangan ini mencerminkan upaya pembaruan hukum pidana nasional yang lebih humanis, berkeadilan, dan selaras dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila serta perkembangan hukum pidana modern. Konsep tujuan pemidanaan dalam KUHP baru diharapkan mampu mewujudkan sistem peradilan pidana yang tidak hanya menitikberatkan pada penghukuman, tetapi juga pada pemulihan dan reintegrasi sosial.

Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Korporasi dalam Sistem Hukum Pidana Indonesia: Analisis Yuridis terhadap Pengaturan dan Penegakannya
type: item
description: Objective: This study aims to analyze the legal basis for recognizing corporations as subjects of criminal liability within the Indonesian legal system, examine the theories underlying corporate criminal liability, and identify the challenges encountered in the enforcement of criminal law against corporations. Method: This research employs a normative legal research method using both statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of primary legal sources, including legislation governing corporate criminal liability, and secondary legal sources, such as books, scholarly journals, and relevant research findings. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. Results: The findings reveal that corporations have been formally recognized as subjects of criminal law within the Indonesian legal system, as stipulated in Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and various sector-specific regulations. Corporate criminal liability is constructed through the application of identification theory, strict liability theory, and the concept of corporate culture. In practice, however, law enforcement against corporations continues to face several challenges, including the complexity of proving the element of fault, multilayered organizational structures, limited institutional capacity among law enforcement authorities, and a tendency to focus criminal prosecution on corporate executives rather than on the corporation as a legal entity. Conclusion: The regulation of corporate criminal liability plays a crucial role in promoting justice and enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement in addressing corporate crime. Nevertheless, optimizing its implementation requires strengthening evidentiary mechanisms, improving the capacity of law enforcement agencies, and developing legal approaches that are more responsive to the characteristics of modern corporate crime.

Increasing Public Awareness of Physical Exercise for Health Improvement: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
type: item
description: Overview: Physical exercise plays an important role in maintaining and improving public health. However, public awareness and participation in regular physical exercise remain relatively low, particularly due to lifestyle changes, limited understanding of exercise benefits, and competing daily activities. Increasing public awareness of physical exercise is essential to promote healthier lifestyles and improve overall community well-being. Method: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using literature review and document analysis techniques. Relevant literature, government regulations, previous research findings, and theoretical perspectives related to public awareness of physical exercise were analyzed to identify effective strategies for increasing community participation in sports and physical activities. Result: The findings indicate that increasing public awareness of physical exercise can be achieved through several strategies, including coercive strategies (pressure strategies), normative strategies (participation, education, and training strategies), benefit strategies, and placement strategies. Government support through sports policies, the provision of facilities and infrastructure, educational programs, and community involvement also contribute significantly to the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, individuals who regularly engage in physical exercise tend to experience better physical fitness, reduced disease risk, improved mental health, and stronger social relationships. Conclusion: Public awareness of physical exercise is a crucial factor in improving community health and quality of life. Sustainable educational efforts, supportive policies, and accessible sports facilities are necessary to encourage regular participation in physical activity.

However, modern sedentary lifestyles and increasing academic demands may negatively affect students’ aerobic capacity. Method: This study aimed to analyze the VO₂ Max levels of sixth-semester students using the Bleep Test (Multistage Fitness Test). A quantitative descriptive research design was employed. The sample consisted of 20 sixth-semester students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Bleep Test and analyzed through descriptive statistics, including mean, minimum value, maximum value, standard deviation, and percentage distribution of VO₂ Max categories using SPSS version 25. Result: The results showed that the average VO₂ Max value of the students was 38.01 ml/kg/min, with a minimum value of 31.2 ml/kg/min and a maximum value of 43.1 ml/kg/min. The standard deviation was 3.07, indicating relatively homogeneous data distribution. Based on the VO₂ Max classification, 50% of students were categorized as very poor, 40% as poor, and only 10% as moderate. No students were classified in the good or very good categories. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the cardiorespiratory fitness level of sixth-semester students remains generally low. Most students demonstrated poor to very poor aerobic capacity, suggesting the need for regular physical activity and structured fitness programs to improve VO₂ Max and overall physical fitness among university students.

Seating Arrangement Variations and Student Engagement in Elementary Education: A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: Background: This study investigates the impact of seating arrangement variations on student engagement within the elementary education context. While traditional layouts have long been the norm, there is a growing need to understand how spatial configurations can foster a more active learning environment. This research aims to synthesize existing evidence to determine how different classroom setups influence student participation and interaction. Methods: A qualitative approach using a library research method was employed. The study synthesized 15 relevant national scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026. Data were harvested from academic databases, including Google Scholar, with a specific focus on classroom management and learning environments. The selection process followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, while the data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and core findings across the literature. Results: The findings indicate that flexible seating arrangements—such as small-group clusters, U-shaped, and circular formations—significantly outperform conventional row seating in fostering student engagement. These layouts enhance classroom interaction, encourage active discussion, and facilitate peer collaboration. Results suggest that a flexible physical environment creates a more dynamic and interactive atmosphere, which is essential for young learners. Conclusion: The study concludes that while flexible arrangements offer substantial benefits, their effectiveness is moderated by learning objectives, student characteristics, and the teacher's classroom management proficiency. Therefore, seating variations should not be static; they must be implemented in a planned, flexible, and contextual manner. Optimizing student engagement in elementary classrooms requires a strategic alignment between the physical layout and the specific pedagogical goals of the lesson.

type: item
description: Background: The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the competency requirements in the workplace, which now demand not only technical skills but also strong digital literacy. In the context of non-formal education, learners at Community Learning Centers (PKBM) still face various challenges in adapting to these demands due to limited digital competencies. Therefore, digital literacy is a critical factor in enhancing work readiness in the era of digital transformation. Method: This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research was conducted at PKBM Al-Ikhram, involving 25 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that measured digital literacy and work readiness. Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression to determine the effect of digital literacy on work readiness. Results: The results of the study indicate that students’ digital literacy levels fall into the “fairly good” category, while their work readiness falls into the “fairly prepared” category. The results of the regression analysis show that digital literacy has a significant effect on work readiness, with a p-value of 0.046 (< 0.05). This indicates that the higher the level of digital literacy, the higher the students’ work readiness. Conclusion: Digital literacy plays a significant role in enhancing students’ employability in the era of digital transformation. Therefore, the development of digital literacy—both in technical and cognitive aspects—needs to be more comprehensively integrated into non-formal education programs to enhance students’ competitiveness in the workforce.

The Influence of Customer Perceptions Regarding the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) and Service Quality on Gen Z's Interest in Saving at Conventional Banks
type: item
description: Background: The banking industry is an integral part of the growth and development of the Indonesian economy. The monetary and banking crises that occurred in Indonesia resulted in a decline in public trust in the banking system. To address the crisis, the government issued several policies, including guarantees for all bank payment obligations, including public deposits, embodied in the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS), an independent institution that functions to guarantee customer deposits and actively participates in maintaining the stability of the banking system in accordance with its authority. Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) is a legal entity and institution that is independent, transparent, and accountable in carrying out its duties and authorities.

Legal Discovery and Relationship in the Context of Settlement of Civil Intellectual Property Rights Cases in the Medan District Court
type: item
description: Background: Legal discovery and reasoning are core processes that determine the accuracy and fairness of law application in court. Although these two concepts have been central to legal theory, their application in the context of civil intellectual property (IPR) cases in the Medan District Court still faces various challenges. Objectives: This paper aims to examine the theoretical concepts of legal discovery and reasoning, describe the process of their application in Medan District Court decisions, and identify the challenges faced by judges. Methods: This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach and content analysis of court decisions. Data were collected from legal textbooks, scientific journals, and 35 Medan District Court decisions in 2023-2024 regarding IPR cases (trademarks, copyrights, and patents). Results: The results of the study indicate that: (1) legal discovery in Medan involves searching for written legal sources (the 2014 Intellectual Property Law, the Civil Code), unwritten (the legal principles of "justice" and "conformity to the needs of society"), and decisions of the North Sumatra High Court as persuasive guides; (2) the most frequently used methods of reasoning are teleological (65%) and systemic (25%) reasoning, accompanied by literal reasoning (10%) in cases with clear rules; (3) major challenges include unclear rules on proving trademark similarity, lack of access to an integrated database of IPR decisions, and judges' lack of understanding of modern IPR issues such as digital content. Conclusions: This study concludes that it is necessary to improve the capacity of judges in the discovery and reasoning of IPR law and refine legal sources to improve the quality of decisions at the Medan District Court.

A Normative Analysis of The Asahan District's Legal Discovery in Terminating Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice in Cases of Theft and Grabbing
type: item
description: Background: The application of restorative justice in the criminal justice system demonstrates a paradigm shift in law enforcement from a repressive approach to one oriented toward restoration and justice. In this paper, the Asahan District Attorney's Office has a role through its authority to terminate prosecutions based on restorative justice, particularly in cases of theft and receiving stolen goods. However, the practice of terminating prosecutions does not always have detailed normative regulations in legislation, thus requiring legal discovery by prosecutors. Objectives: This study aims to normatively analyze the concept of legal discovery carried out by the District Attorney's Office in terminating prosecutions based on restorative justice, particularly in cases of theft and receiving stolen goods. Methods: The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The legal materials analyzed include legislation, legal doctrine, and cases. Results: The research findings indicate that legal discovery by prosecutors is a form of legal interpretation and construction aimed at bridging the principle of legality with the demands of justice that exist in society. Termination of prosecution based on restorative justice in cases of theft and receiving stolen goods can be normatively justified as long as it is carried out selectively, proportionally, and transparently. Conclusions: This study concludes that legal discovery by the District Attorney's Office plays a role in strengthening restorative justice, but still requires regulations to ensure legal certainty and uniform application in law enforcement practice.
