    <title>Judicial Assessment of Forced-Heirship Claims in Testamentary Disputes: Harmonizing Indonesian Succession Law, Matrimonial Property Law, and Nozick’s Entitlement Theory</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/125</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/125</guid>
    <description>The judicial application of forced heirship in testamentary disputes raises problems of property classification, reserved-share calculation, and the legal consequences imposed on wills. Article 913 of the Indonesian Civil Code intensifies this by failing to distinguish the testator’s separate property from the deceased’s share in matrimonial community property. This article examines judicial assessment of forced-heirship claims by harmonizing Indonesian property and succession law with the matrimonial property regime under Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. This normative legal research is descriptive-analytical and employs statutory, conceptual, case, and legal-theoretical approaches. Legal materials, particularly three district court judgments, were collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively through systematic, harmonious, teleological, and restrictive interpretation. Robert Nozick’s entitlement theory assesses justice in acquisition, transfer, and rectification. The article develops a three-stage judicial test: acquisition and property status, validity of testamentary transfer, and appropriate rectification. Applied to the three decisions: Surakarta’s invalidity should be limited to the portion not owned by the testator; Situbondo’s total annulment is unjustified, as inventory, calculation mass, and shortfall are unshown; South Jakarta equated the intestate share with the reserved share, since one-third satisfies Article 914. Under the proposed construction, separate property is the primary domain of testamentary freedom, while the deceased’s share in community property may be protected for forced heirs once the spouse’s rights are separated. Judges should explain the object’s origin, ownership status, net estate, reserved share, and shortfall before choosing a remedy, annulling an entire will only when the defect inseparably affects the whole intent.</description>

    <title>The Defeat of the Iraq’s Total War Strategy Under the Regime of Saddam Hussein in the 2003 U.S.-Led Invasion: A Reflection</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/122</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/122</guid>
    <description>The United States (US) along with its western coalition partners carried out the Iraqi invasion in 2003 to topple down President Saddam Hussein who was considered a threat to the international community based on accusations of possession of weapons of mass destruction and his association with the 9/11 terrorist attacks. During the invasion, the Iraqi troops were easily defeated through a military approach by the coalition. The primary objective of this scholarly work is to isolate those variables that rendered Iraqi troops susceptible to swift subjugation. A qualitative methodology, grounded in documentary analysis from printed and online sources such as monographs, scholarly journals, and news archives, was utilised to conduct the inquiry. The resultant analysis identifies several interlocking explanations for Iraq’s decisive defeat in the 2003 American-led offensive. These include a catastrophic failure of foresight on the part of Saddam Hussein, his diversionary focus on latent internal opposition, and the inept formulation and deployment of Iraq’s military doctrines. Concurrently, the overwhelming materiel and strategic ascendancy of the coalition forces proved decisively advantageous. This reflection underscores that the effective implementation of a total war strategy demands detailed planning and due attention to non-military elements of national defense, a consideration with direct relevance for future defense strategy formulation.</description>

    <description>Increasing environmental challenges and the growing volume of waste have highlighted the need for sustainable and community-based waste management approaches. However, limited public awareness and lack of practical knowledge remain major barriers to the implementation of circular economy practices at the community level. This study examines the role of knowledge sharing in empowering communities through the implementation of circular waste practices at the Bening Saguling Foundation, West Bandung Regency. The program integrates plastic recycling, maggot-based organic waste processing, and sustainable layer farming as a comprehensive approach to waste utilization and community development. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to explore the processes and impacts of an international community service program (PkM).Data were collected through direct observation, interactive discussions, and participant involvement during the program activities. The findings reveal that knowledge sharing, supported by participatory communication and hands-on practices, significantly enhances community understanding and engagement in circular waste management. Participants demonstrated improved awareness of circular economy principles and the ability to apply waste processing techniques, particularly in utilizing maggots as an alternative feed in layer farming systems. However, the sustainability of program implementation remains a challenge, highlighting the need for continuous mentoring and institutional support. Overall, the integration of knowledge sharing and practical training within a circular framework proves effective in strengthening community capacity and promoting sustainable environmental practices. This study contributes to the development of a replicable model for community empowerment based on integrated waste management.</description>

    <description>Traditional home-based industries in rural areas often face significant market stagnation due to poor product presentation and limited digital engagement. This study addresses the marketing and presentation gaps faced by the Bakti Nagari Women Farmers Group (WFG) in West Padang Panjang of West Sumatra, where suboptimal packaging and a lack of digital literacy hindered growth. The primary objective was to modernize fried shallot products through knowledge sharing and practical training in professional packaging and social media marketing. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the methodology involved a multi-stage intervention comprising field observations, socialization, technical demonstrations, and digital market activation. Results indicate a significant improvement in participants&apos; understanding of packaging diversification and digital content creation. Specifically, the adoption of professional labeling and ziplock packaging enhanced product value, while training in platforms like Instagram and TikTok expanded the group&apos;s market reach beyond local boundaries. This study concludes that bridging the digital divide through creative skills is essential for economic independence. These findings imply that community empowerment programs must transition from production-focused support to integrated marketing strategies to ensure long-term sustainability for micro-enterprises.</description>

    <title>Advancing Equitable Access to Medicines in Southeast Asia: A Comprehensive Policy Analysis of the 2025 Regional Position Paper</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/117</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/117</guid>
    <description>The Southeast Asia region faces persistent challenges in ensuring equitable access to affordable, quality medicines despite decades of economic growth and health system advancements. This article provides a comprehensive policy analysis of the &quot;Advancing Equitable Access to Medicines in Southeast Asia&quot; position paper released by the Southeast Asia Access to Medicine Working Group following the February 2025 Bangkok Summit and April 2025 New Delhi consultations. The analysis examines the paper&apos;s conceptual framework that redefines access as a patient-centered continuum, evaluates its recommendations across five core pillars; governance, digital health, health technology assessment, innovative financing, and public-private partnerships and assesses implementation feasibility within ASEAN&apos;s diverse contexts. Findings reveal that while the position paper offers transformative strategies emphasizing regional harmonization and community engagement, successful implementation requires navigating significant challenges including regulatory fragmentation, varying institutional capacities, sustainable financing mechanisms, and political economy constraints. The analysis employs health systems frameworks and political economy analysis to identify critical success factors for translating policy recommendations into measurable improvements. The article concludes that realizing equitable access demands sustained political commitment, institutionalized cross-sector collaboration, adaptive governance frameworks, and robust monitoring systems. The study contributes to policy discourse by identifying critical research gaps including the need for context-specific implementation metrics, longitudinal impact assessment frameworks, and participatory governance evaluation tools.</description>

    <title>Analysis of the Utilization of the Case Management System Model at the Intelligence Directorate of the Densus 88 Anti-Terror Unit, Indonesian National Police</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/116</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/116</guid>
    <description>Integrated data management has become critical for intelligence analysis, particularly in terrorism-related crime handling. The Intelligence Directorate of Detachment 88 AT Polri faces significant challenges managing case data from multiple units and information sources. This study analyzes the utilization of a Case Management System (CMS) model in supporting intelligence analysis activities at Detachment 88. A qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews with key informants (Director of Intelligence, Head of Sub-Directorate of Analysis, and intelligence analysts) and document analysis of internal reports and national policies conducted during 2020-2023. Findings indicate that integrated CMS implementation positively impacts analysis speed, information accuracy, and cross-unit coordination. However, limitations persist including partial data integration due to format differences, reliance on manual verification processes, slow processing of large-volume data from social media and CCTV, and network infrastructure constraints in operational areas. System interoperability plays a crucial role in supporting timely and precise intelligence decision-making. The study identifies three critical pillars for CMS effectiveness: multi-source data integration, adaptation to evolving terrorism methods utilizing digital technology, and robust data security mechanisms including encryption and role-based access controls. CMS must evolve from a data repository to an AI-enabled analytical platform with automated data fusion, modular architecture, and layered security protocols to effectively counter dynamic terrorism threats while maintaining strict confidentiality standards.</description>

    <title>Analysis of Operation Damai Cartenz Planning in the Management of Armed Criminal Group Mitigation in Papua</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/109</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/109</guid>
    <description>Cartenz Peace Operation is a continuation of the Papua Task Force (2016) and Operation Nemangkawi (2018). The existence of Operation Cartenz Peace indicates a rapid shift in nomenclature. However, an in-depth analysis of its formation process reveals critical gaps in standard police operational procedures. There has been no in-depth study or planning conducted prior to each name or strategy change. In fact, a successful operation must be based on careful planning that begins with a comprehensive study. The study intends to examine the planning issues of the Cartenz Peace Operation and suggest reclassifying it as an Enhanced Routine Activity (KRYD) for better management of armed criminal groups in Papua. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive. The approach used in this study is a case study. Operation Cartenz Peace was chosen as a unique and specific case for in-depth analysis. The analysis will focus on the planning process, decision-making, policy implementation, and evaluation of the results of this operation. The results and discussion reveal that Operation Cartenz Peace did not meet the criteria for a police operation. Operation Cartenz Peace should be reclassified as an Enhanced Routine Activity (KRYD). This classification denotes activities conducted by regional units with increased personnel and budget allocations, without the rigid time limitations that characterize formal operations.</description>

    <title>Strategic Planning of Intelligence and Security Agency of the Indonesian National Police in Maintaining Public Security and Order: The Case of the 2020 Omnibus Law Demonstrations</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/107</link>

    <description>The October 2020 protests against the Job Creation Law, marked by mass mobilization and significant unrest, tested Indonesia&apos;s public security framework. This study analyzes the strategic planning and early detection mechanisms employed by the Intelligence and Security Agency of the Indonesian National Police (Baintelkam Polri) in mitigating threats to public security during the 2020 Job Creation Law protests. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten key Baintelkam Polri informants and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal that strategic planning was conducted through a structured intelligence cycle involving multidimensional risk analysis, cross-functional coordination, and continuous adaptation. Early detection was executed via integrated field and digital monitoring, comprehensive vulnerability indicators, and a rapid field reporting system. Intelligence products centrally informed operational decisions, while rapid estimation mechanisms enabled adaptive responses to emerging threats. The research concludes that intelligence-led early detection and strategic planning are crucial for maintaining security stability during large-scale demonstrations while upholding legal and democratic norms. Theoretically, it reinforces early detection theory and Conflict Early Warning Systems (CEWS) in domestic security, offering empirical insights into central intelligence’s role in managing mass actions in Indonesia.</description>

    <title>Collaboration Between the Indonesian National Police and the Community in Preventing Illegal Mining in the Tembelok Sea Area</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/105</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/105</guid>
    <description>Illegal tin mining in Tembelok Sea, West Bangka, has caused massive environmental impacts, such as coral reef damage, a 30% decrease in fish catches, and triggered unrest and social conflicts in coastal communities. This exploratory qualitative research aims to analyze collaboration strategies between the Indonesian National Police (Polri) and the community in preventing such illegal activities. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document studies, then analyzed using the Law Enforcement Theory, Collaborative Policing, and Crime Prevention approaches. The research results show that joint patrols are an effective integrated strategy, integrating primary prevention approaches (socialization, “Alert Fishermen” training, drone/GIS technology), secondary (focused patrols, community reports), and tertiary (firm law enforcement, environmental rehabilitation). This collaboration is driven by inter-agency synergy (Polri, Indonesian Navy, Bakamla), active community participation, and open communication. However, challenges such as overlapping authorities, limited resources, intimidation of reporters, and lack of integrated data platforms still hinder its effectiveness. To ensure sustainability, it is recommended to establish a permanent task force, develop anonymous digital reporting applications, and launch alternative economic empowerment programs, such as seaweed cultivation. In conclusion, the Polri-community collaboration has the potential to create an inclusive and sustainable monitoring system to maintain the preservation of marine ecosystems and the socio-economic stability of the Tembelok coastal community.</description>

    <title>The Effect of Economic Growth and Inflation on the Composite Stock Price Index for the Period 2020-2023</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/90</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/90</guid>
    <description>This investigation aspires to procure empirical substantiation concerning the repercussion of economic expansion and inflation upon the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) throughout the span of 2020–2023. The methodological framework employed is regression analysis within a quantitative paradigm, grounded in archival data of IHSG reports. The research cohort was delineated through a total sampling technique, yielding 48 monthly observations consonant with the stipulated criteria.The findings disclose that economic expansion exerts a constructive and statistically momentous influence on the IHSG, evidenced by a t-statistic of 12.638 surpassing the critical threshold of 2.01410, with a probability value of 0.000 &amp;lt; 0.05. Accordingly, hypothesis (H1) is corroborated while the null proposition is repudiated. In contraposition, inflation likewise manifests a significant effect on the IHSG, with a t-statistic of 12,905.184 &amp;gt; 2.01410 and a probability value of 0.003 &amp;lt; 0.05, thereby validating hypothesis (H2).Conjointly, economic expansion and inflation were discerned to wield a simultaneous and notable effect on the IHSG, with an F-statistic of 121.218 exceeding the tabular benchmark of 3.204 and a significance level of 0.000 &amp;lt; 0.05, affirming hypothesis (H3). Thus, the inquiry elucidates that economic expansion assumes a pivotal role in augmenting the IHSG, while inflation also imparts a consequential individual impact. Nevertheless, under a joint analytical lens, both determinants conjointly demonstrate a substantive influence upon the trajectory of the IHSG.</description>

    <title>Forgery of TNI Headquarters Land Documents by Dani Bahdani (A Case Study of Land Dispute Resolution by Unit 3, Sub-Directorate 2, Directorate of General Crimes, Bareskrim Polri)</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/106</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/106</guid>
    <description>Land holds a crucial position in Indonesia both as a communal resource and a high-value economic asset, making disputes over land rights particularly those triggered by document forgery highly prevalent and socially impactful. Given this context, cases involving falsified land certificates often escalate into complex legal disputes requiring meticulous investigation. This research aims to analyze the chronology of Dani Bahdani’s lawsuit against TNI Headquarters, the investigation process conducted by Unit 3, Sub-Directorate 2 Directorate of General Crimes, Bareskrim Polri, and the obstacles faced in handling the land document forgery case. Using qualitative methods with a case study approach through interviews, documentation, and source triangulation, the research found that Dani Bahdani used fake girik or Land Ownership Certificate and invalid power of attorney to sue state assets, while investigators successfully uncovered the forgery through investigation management and Scientific Crime Investigation (SCI) including forensic document examination. The research results show that the investigation ran effectively thanks to inter-agency coordination and facility support, but still faced obstacles in the form of weaknesses in the substance of Article 263 of the Criminal Code, lack of synchronization in land regulations, minimal integration of BPN data, and low public legal awareness. In conclusion, this case confirms the importance of strengthening document forgery regulations, integrating the national land system, and increasing legal education to the public to prevent similar cases from recurring.</description>

    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/100</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/100</guid>
    <description>The purpose of this activity is to provide guidance on the application of retail communication mix as a marketing strategy that can increase the competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the digital era. In the context of increasingly fierce business competition, MSMEs are required to be more creative and innovative in reaching consumers. Retail communication mix, which consists of various elements such as new media and traditional media, is considered one of the keys to the success of a business. The activity was carried out with MSME partners engaged in the food sector. The main problem faced by partners was a lack of knowledge about using retail communication to maintain their competitiveness and existence. The methods used were initial observation and training. This activity is expected to contribute to the development of the partners&apos; knowledge, particularly in the fields of management and retail marketing. In addition, the results of this activity are also expected to provide recommendations for partners in designing effective retail marketing strategies to increase their business competitiveness in the digital era.</description>

    <title>Legal and Business Ethics Training in Inventory Management</title>
    <link>https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/99</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://ijsscs.com/index.php/journal/article/view/99</guid>
    <description>The retail business does not only consider profits, but also social responsibility towards consumers and society. Businesses must realise that the choices they make when purchasing goods can affect the company&apos;s reputation and consumer trust. Honesty, transparency, and fairness must be upheld in every transaction. The partners involved in the current community service (PKM) activities are engaged in the textile retail industry and are located in the Tanah Abang market. The main problem lies in the partners&apos; lack of knowledge about the legal and ethical aspects of running a business. The activities were carried out through training related to legal and ethical issues. The training was conducted online via the Zoom platform. Through this activity, it is hoped that the problems arising in the partners&apos; businesses will be resolved, and the partners will be able to increase their knowledge of ethical practices that consider the social and environmental impacts of their business when purchasing goods. Based on the results of this activity, it is recommended that business actors pay attention to legal and ethical aspects in the process of buying merchandise, in order to avoid legal risks and maintain good relationships with consumers and suppliers. As such, they should be able to uphold ethical values towards customers.</description>

    <description>The need for environmentally friendly products that are safe for health is increasing, including natural soaps that are free of harmful chemicals. Kembangan sub-district has abundant potential resources such as palm or coconut oil as the basis for making soap, but has not been optimally utilized. This community service activity aims to empower the community through training in making natural soap with business-economic value. The implementation method starts from a needs survey, preparation of training modules, soap making practices, to marketing strategies. The training participants consisted of micro and small-scale home-based businesses. The evaluation results showed active participation reaching 90%, with 80% of participants successfully making quality soap and 70% interested in developing a natural soap business. The main obstacles are limited tools, materials, and mentoring time. However, through collaboration with business partners and the government, this training can support economic independence based on MSMEs and environmental conservation. This program also encourages the formation of new business communities and increases community capacity in digital production and marketing. In conclusion, this training is effective in improving skills and opening up business opportunities based on local potential in a sustainable manner in Kembangan District.</description>

    <description>The goal of this research is to examine how leadership, motivation, and job satisfaction impact the performance of employees at the Transportation Department (DISHUB) Office of Solok Regency. The research object consists of DISHUB employees located at Jl. Raya Koto Baru, Solok Regency, West Sumatra. Quantitative research was employed in the study, which involved distributing questionnaires to 92 employees for data collection. Findings from the research indicate that there is no substantial impact of leadership on employee performance, as evidenced by a t-value of 1.294 and a significance level of 0.200. Motivation also does not have a significant effect, with a t-value of -1.873 and significance of 0.065. Conversely, job satisfaction significantly influences employee performance, with a t-value of 2.060 and significance of 0.043. Simultaneously, the three variables influence employee performance with an F-value of 3.230 and significance of 0.027. The impact of leadership, motivation, and job satisfaction accounts for 11.9% of the variation in employee performance, with the remaining percentage being attributed to various other factors. This study provides recommendations to improve employee job satisfaction to enhance performance in the agency.</description>

    <title>The Influence of Company Size and Debt Ratio on the Financial Performance of Bank Subsector Companies Listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2020-2023</title>

    <description>This research analyzes how Company Size and Debt Ratio affect the Financial Performance of banking subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2023. Using quantitative regression analysis on financial statement data, the study employed purposive sampling to select 36 banking companies meeting the research criteria. The findings reveal that Company Size significantly and positively influences Financial Performance, with a t-value of 2.425 exceeding the t-table value of 1.987 and significance of 0.017 below 0.05, confirming hypothesis H1. Conversely, Debt Ratio shows no significant individual effect on Financial Performance, with a t-value of -1.410 below 1.987 and significance of 0.162 above 0.05, rejecting hypothesis H2. However, simultaneous testing demonstrates that Company Size and Debt Ratio together significantly affect Financial Performance, with an f-value of 3.612 surpassing f-table value of 3.103 and significance of 0.031 below 0.05, accepting hypothesis H?. The study concludes that Company Size plays a crucial role in enhancing banking sector financial performance, indicating that larger banks tend to achieve better financial outcomes. While Debt Ratio lacks individual significance, suggesting that debt levels alone do not meaningfully impact performance, the combined effect of both variables proves statistically significant. This suggests that when analyzed collectively, Company Size and Debt Ratio contribute to explaining variations in banking financial performance, though Company Size emerges as the more influential factor among Indonesian banking companies during the examined period.</description>

    <description>The gap between demand and supply of local food in urban areas like Batam City triggers vulnerability to nutritional access, especially for lower-middle-income communities. In response to this challenge, PT PLN Batam - PLTGU Tanjung Uncang Unit initiated the SEHATI TABUROSI program (Environmental Synergy and Inclusive Food Security) as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) model based on community empowerment. This study aims to explore the implementation and impact of the SEHATI TABUROSI program, which integrates biofloc fish farming technology, waste bank management, and strengthening women&apos;s roles in local food security. Using a qualitative case study approach, data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation in Tanjung Uncang Village, Batam. Results show that the program successfully increased tilapia production up to 210 kg per cycle, strengthened women&apos;s economic capacity, and supported supplementary feeding programs (PMT) for vulnerable children. Organic and inorganic waste was processed into feed, fertilizer, and pond construction materials, reflecting circular economy practices. In addition to resource efficiency, direct participation of PLN Batam - PLTGU Tanjung Uncang Unit employees in technical competency transfer also strengthened program sustainability. This holistic intervention model proved effective in combining economic, social, and environmental aspects, and has the potential to be replicated in other urban areas with similar challenges.</description>

    <description>Hypertension is the most common health problem in the world. Approximately one million people worldwide, or one in every four people, suffer from this disease. Hypertension not only gradually reduces the severity of the condition but also contributes to the development of other diseases that cause increased blood pressure and organ damage, such as stroke in the brain, coronary heart disease in the heart, and heart muscle damage. Management of hypertensive patients can be done with a non-pharmacological approach. One traditional medicine that can lower blood pressure is red ginger, which is one of the herbal therapies for treating hypertension. The success of healthcare workers in carrying out their role is expected to help patients overcome hypertension after being given intervention. Based on the results of community service activities in Gampong Aron, Kuta Baro, Aceh Besar, it can be concluded that the community has gained understanding in identifying hypertension and ways to treat hypertension with herbal remedies.</description>
