Irvan Rolyesh Situmorang, Frenky Situmorang, Yonson Pane
Abstract: Temuan audit internal yang muncul secara berulang menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme pengendalian yang diterapkan organisasi belum sepenuhnya mampu mendorong kepatuhan prosedur secara konsisten pada seluruh unit kerja. Kondisi… tersebut berpotensi meningkatkan risiko kesalahan operasional dan penyimpangan apabila tidak diantisipasi melalui pendekatan pengendalian yang bersifat preventif. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman serta kemampuan staf dan manajemen PT. Abdi Budi Mulia dalam menerapkan Checklist Self Assessment (CSA) Report sebagai instrumen evaluasi mandiri untuk mendukung pencegahan fraud dan mengurangi temuan audit internal. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif yang meliputi identifikasi permasalahan, pelatihan penyusunan CSA Report, pendampingan implementasi, dan evaluasi kegiatan. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan bahwa peserta memperoleh pemahaman yang lebih baik mengenai pengendalian internal, manajemen risiko, dan pentingnya pengawasan mandiri dalam aktivitas operasional. Selain itu, peserta mampu menyusun indikator pengendalian, melakukan identifikasi risiko secara lebih sistematis, serta mengimplementasikan CSA Report sesuai dengan kebutuhan unit kerja masing-masing. Penerapan CSA Report juga mendorong terbentuknya mekanisme pengawasan yang lebih proaktif sehingga potensi kesalahan dan ketidaksesuaian prosedur dapat dikenali lebih awal sebelum menjadi temuan audit. Dengan demikian, implementasi CSA Report dapat menjadi alternatif solusi dalam memperkuat sistem pengendalian internal dan mendukung upaya pencegahan fraud secara berkelanjutan pada lingkungan perusahaan  Recurring internal audit findings indicate that existing control mechanisms have not fully ensured consistent procedural compliance across all work units. Such conditions may increase the risk of operational errors and irregularities if preventive control measures are not adequately implemented. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and capabilities of staff and management at PT. Abdi Budi Mulia in implementing a Checklist Self Assessment (CSA) Report as a self-evaluation instrument to support fraud prevention and reduce internal audit findings. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of problem identification, CSA Report training, implementation assistance, and activity evaluation. The results demonstrated that participants gained a better understanding of internal control, risk management, and the importance of self-monitoring in operational activities. Participants were also able to develop relevant control indicators, identify operational risks more systematically, and implement CSA Reports according to the specific needs of their respective work units. Furthermore, the implementation of CSA Reports encouraged a more proactive monitoring mechanism, enabling potential errors and procedural non-compliance to be identified before becoming audit findings. Therefore, CSA Report implementation can serve as an effective alternative for strengthening internal control systems and supporting sustainable fraud prevention efforts within the organization

Tinjauan Hukum Administrasi Negara Terhadap Efektivitas Pemungutan Retribusi Sampah Berdasarkan Perda Bangkalan No. 1 Tahun 2024

Fitron, Dimas Fian Wahyu Mahardika
Abstract: AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji efektivitas pemungutan retribusi pelayanan persampahan di Kabupaten Bangkalan pasca berlakunya Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Bangkalan Nomor 1 Tahun 2024 tentang Pajak Daerah dan Retribusi… ribusi Daerah. Melalui pendekatan Hukum Administrasi Negara, kajian ini membedah keabsahan wewenang, instrumen yuridis, dan hambatan operasional Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Bangkalan. Analisis dilakukan dengan menerapkan teori kewenangan Philipus M. Hadjon, teori instrumen pemerintahan Ridwan HR, serta teori efektivitas hukum Soerjono Soekanto. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa rencana penerapan retribusi sampah bagi dapur Program Makan Bergizi Gratis sebesar dua ratus ribu rupiah per bulan berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah Nomor 3 Tahun 2024 dan Peraturan Bupati Nomor 9 Tahun 2025 belum berjalan efektif. Tingkat kepatuhan wajib retribusi sangat rendah karena hanya sekitar dua puluh pelaksana yang melakukan pembayaran. Penyebab utama meliputi ketidakjelasan skema pelayanan akibat tarif yang tidak mencakup biaya pengangkutan sampah, kelumpuhan infrastruktur di Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir Buluh, dan lemahnya penegakan sanksi administratif oleh aparat pemungut. Situasi ini memicu tindakan kedinasan non-prosedural serta konflik sosial-ekologis dengan masyarakat desa setempat. Guna menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, diperlukan klarifikasi skema pelayanan yang mencakup seluruh komponen biaya, rehabilitasi infrastruktur pemrosesan sampah, serta penguatan penegakan sanksi administratif untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan dan efektivitas pemungutan retribusi. Kata Kunci: Hukum Administrasi Negara; Retribusi Sampah; Efektivitas Hukum; Kabupaten Bangkalan. AbstractThis study aims to examine the effectiveness of waste service retribution collection in Bangkalan Regency following the enactment of Bangkalan Regency Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2024 concerning Regional Taxes and Retributions. Using an Administrative Law approach, this research analyzes the legitimacy of authority, juridical instruments, and operational obstacles faced by the Environmental Agency of Bangkalan Regency. The analysis applies Philipus M. Hadjon’s theory of authority, Ridwan HR’s theory of government instruments, and Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of legal effectiveness. The findings reveal that the planned implementation of a waste retribution fee of two hundred thousand rupiah per month for kitchens under the Free Nutritious Meals Program (Program Makan Bergizi Gratis), based on Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2024 and Regent Regulation Number 9 of 2025, has not been effective. The level of compliance among retribution payers remains very low, with only approximately twenty operators making payments. The main causes include unclear service schemes due to tariffs that do not cover waste transportation costs, the dysfunction of infrastructure at the Buluh Final Processing Site (Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir Buluh), and weak enforcement of administrative sanctions by collection officers. This situation has triggered non-procedural administrative actions and socio-ecological conflicts with local village communities. To address these issues, it is necessary to clarify the service scheme to include all cost components, rehabilitate waste processing infrastructure, and strengthen the enforcement of administrative sanctions in order to improve compliance and the overall effectiveness of retribution collection. Keywords: Administrative Law; Waste Retribution; Legal Effectiveness; Bangkalan Regency.

Fangirling Culture in X: a Virtual Ethnographic Study of Seventeen Boygroup Fans in Makassar City

Nabila Rahmayuni Saharuddin, Abdul Rahman
Abstract: This study explores the cultural practice of fangirling on social media platform X as a space for identity negotiation and communal solidarity in the digital era. Using a digital ethnography approach, data was collected… through participant observation, in-depth interviews with fans, and a documentary study of the digital footprints of the informants. The results show that fangirling is not merely a form of passive consumption, but rather a communal cultural activity carried out massively and organized through fictitious kinship structures in cyberspace. This phenomenon manifests itself in the form of digital "work culture," such as the ritual of collectively streaming music and mobilizing votes to increase the symbolic capital of the idol group SEVENTEEN on the global stage. This practice confirms a shift in social interaction patterns, where group loyalty is bound by a commitment to the idol's aesthetics and achievements. Anthropologically, this activity creates a new value system that blurs the boundaries between the private space of fans and the digital public space, while simultaneously strengthening the position of social media platform X as a primary locus in the formation of contemporary popular culture.

Efforts To Preserve Local Wisdom In The Hape Nulif Tradition In Duawutun Village, Nagawutung District, Lembata District

St. Sara N.K. Ladopurap, Darman Manda
Abstract: The research findings indicate that community participation from Duawutun and Wuakerong villages in the Hape Nulif tradition extends beyond mere physical presence, manifesting as structured and active involvement throughout… out every stage of the ritual. The community demonstrates a high spirit of gotong royong (mutual cooperation), reflected in the clear distribution of roles among traditional leaders, youth figures, and women. This collective cooperation encompasses everything from ritual logistical preparations to the execution of core processions, which directly strengthens social cohesion and solidarity among residents. Substantially, this tradition serves as a space for articulating local cultural identity, bridging material and spiritual dimensions where reverence for ancestors and nature remains a central value. The intergenerational distribution of responsibilities ensures that every community member feels a profound sense of belonging toward the preservation of this local wisdom. Consequently, the Hape Nulif ritual becomes a crucial instrument in bolstering cultural resilience amidst modernization, while reaffirming the position of the Duawutun community as one that steadfastly upholds noble human values and togetherness within a sacred traditional framework.

Kevinia, Callista, Surasmi, Rahayu
Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh cyber public relations yang dilakukan melalui akun Instagram @mustikaratuind terhadap citra merek produk kosmetik Mustika Ratu. Sebagai salah satu merek kosmetik tradisional… sional terkemuka di Indonesia, Mustika Ratu menghadapi tantangan besar dalam mempertahankan eksistensi merek di tengah persaingan dengan kompetitor lokal maupun internasional yang semakin aktif secara digital. Dalam konteks ini, pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai strategi public relations menjadi penting untuk membentuk persepsi positif konsumen. Instagram dipilih karena memiliki daya tarik visual yang kuat serta tingkat interaktivitas yang tinggi di kalangan pengguna. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei terhadap 100 responden perempuan usia produktif yang mengikuti akun @mustikaratuind. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi linier sederhana dan uji t untuk menilai pengaruh cyber public relations (transparency, internet porosity, the internet as an agent, dan richness in content and reach) terhadap citra merek (strength of brand associations, favorability of brand associations, dan uniqueness of brand associations). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cyber public relations berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap citra merek, dibuktikan dengan nilai t hitung sebesar 11,839 yang lebih besar dari t tabel 1,9844. Nilai koefisien determinasi (R Square) sebesar 58,9% menunjukkan bahwa variabel cyber public relations mampu menjelaskan 58,9% variasi dalam citra merek, sedangkan 41,1% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar penelitian ini" karena saya mau menjelaskan bahwa seberapa besar variabel X (cyber public relations) mampu menjelaskan variasi pada variabel Y (citra merek). Kekuatan hubungan ini berada pada kategori sedang, artinya cyber public relations cukup efektif namun masih memerlukan peningkatan untuk mencapai kategori kuat. Berdasarkan hasil ini, disarankan agar Mustika Ratu memperkuat kreativitas konten sekaligus mempertahankan interaksi positif dengan audiens melalui media sosial serta inovasi produk agar citra merek lebih kompetitif.
