Empowerment Communication for Persons with Disabilities A Case Study of Caffe Lubi.co
This study discusses the role of empowerment communication in enhancing the abilities of deaf-mute individuals at Caffe Lubi in preparing for the world of work. The background of this research is rooted in the ongoing challenges faced by people with disabilities—particularly those who are deaf-mute—in Indonesia, including discrimination and limited access to employment opportunities, despite their significant presence in the national population. This study aims to provide an in-depth description of the empowerment communication processes implemented at Caffe Lubi and their impact on the development of work-related skills and personal independence among deaf-mute individuals. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was employed, focusing on Caffe Lubi. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving three deaf-mute individuals working at the café. The findings reveal that empowerment communication at Caffe Lubi is conducted through two-way interactions between facilitators and persons with disabilities, the use of sign language, and written communication tools. This process has proven effective in improving both soft skills—such as teamwork, time management, and problem-solving—and hard skills, including barista techniques, inventory management, and the use of office software for administrative tasks. The empowerment initiatives at Caffe Lubi not only enhance vocational competencies but also foster self-confidence and independence among deaf-mute individuals, equipping them to adapt in the workplace both as employees and as potential entrepreneurs. This research underscores the importance of inclusive and supportive communication in empowering people with disabilities, ultimately contributing to equal employment opportunities and a more disability-friendly work environment.

Communication Students Perception Of The Impact Of TikTok Use In Forming Cultural Identity And Nationalism In The Era Of Globalization
This study examines the perceptions of students in the Communication Science Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Riau on the impact of TikTok usage in shaping cultural identity and nationalism in the era of globalization. The research aims to analyze how TikTok, as a popular digital social media platform, influences students’ views and attitudes toward local culture and national identity. Using a mixed-method approach through questionnaires distributed to 50 respondents and in-depth interviews with active TikTok users, this study explores patterns of content consumption and production related to cultural and national themes. The findings indicate that while TikTok enables students to express and promote local cultural elements—such as traditional dances, local cuisine, and regional languages—there is also a risk of cultural identity dilution due to exposure to global content. Regarding nationalism, the results show limited active engagement, as students tend to consume rather than produce content with nationalistic messages. The study highlights the relevance of Uses and Gratifications Theory, Social Identity Theory, and Digital Nationalism Theory in understanding these phenomena. In conclusion, TikTok has the potential to strengthen cultural identity and nationalism among youth if used wisely and creatively. Educational institutions and policymakers are encouraged to facilitate programs and digital literacy to support the creation of cultural and national content that appeals to young audiences.

Authority and Mechanism of Execution of Money in Lieu by Public Prosecutors in the Legal System and State Finance in Indonesia
Corruption crimes not only cause legal losses, but also significant economic losses to state finances. One of the legal instruments used to recover these losses is additional punishment in the form of restitution. The Public Prosecutor (JPU) has a strategic role in executing restitution based on a court decision that has permanent legal force. This research aims to analyze the authority of the Public Prosecutor in executing restitution and examine the implementation mechanism within the framework of the Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) system. By using the normative juridical method, this research examines applicable legal provisions such as the Criminal Procedure Code, Anti-Corruption Law, Prosecutor's Office Law, and Non-Tax State Revenue Law, and is analyzed through a legal policy and economic approach. The results of the study show that the authority of the prosecutor in the execution of restitution already has a strong legal basis, but its implementation still faces challenges such as difficulties in tracking assets, overlapping rules, and not optimal institutional synergy. The mechanism for depositing restitution as PNBP also requires system integration, transparency, and increased institutional capacity in order to make a real contribution to the recovery of state finances. This study recommends reforming execution procedures, strengthening inter-agency cooperation, and developing an information technology-based reporting system to improve the effectiveness and accountability of restitution execution in Indonesia.

ACCOMMODATION STRATEGY FOR COMMUNICATION OF EASTERN ETHNIC STUDENTS WITH JAVANESE ETHNICITY IN SURAKARTA
Differences in cultural backgrounds often create obstacles in the process of interaction between individuals. This study discusses the case of interaction between students of ethnic groups from eastern Indonesia and students of Javanese ethnicity in the Surakarta campus environment. The presence of students from eastern Indonesia in the context of higher education in Java creates a complex intercultural meeting space. Differences in values, norms, and communication styles between these two ethnic groups often create barriers to building social relationships. This study aims to identify the forms of communication accommodation strategies employed by both parties in their efforts to build effective communication. The approach used is a phenomenological approach to explore the direct experiences of informants in the process of cross-cultural interaction. The theory used is Communication Accommodation Theory to analyze how individuals adapt their communication styles to achieve mutual understanding. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews with three student informants from the eastern region and one Javanese ethnic student informant. The results of the study indicate that the most dominant communication barriers manifested in the form of differences in language style, perceptions of emotional expressions, and cultural stereotypes.

The Use of Instagram and X Social Media in Managing Public Awareness of Viral Content in Indonesia
In the digital age, social media has emerged as a dominant force in shaping public discourse. This research investigates how Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) are utilized to manage public awareness regarding viral content in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews and digital observation of five viral cases spanning social, political, environmental, and cultural issues. The study applies Agenda Setting Theory and Public Communication Theory to analyze how each platform influences users’ perceptions. Findings show Instagram is effective in building emotional engagement through visual storytelling, while X serves as a dynamic forum for fast-paced opinion exchange. The contrast in platform characteristics influences how users interpret and respond to viral issues. The study concludes that while social media plays a significant role in shaping awareness, the impact varies depending on users’ digital literacy and critical engagement. The research highlights the need for media literacy in navigating complex information ecosystems and calls for responsible communication strategies in digital spaces.

THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LAW ON THE INSTITUTION OF THE PEOPLE'S CONSULTATIVE ASSEMBLY (MPR) OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA AS A FORM OF MANIFESTATION OF ARTICLE 2 PARAGRAPH (1) OF THE 1945 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
This study discusses two main problems: first, constitutional values in the institutional arrangements of People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR RI) based on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in the development of legislation in Indonesia; second, the urgency of the establishment of the MPR RI Institutional Law as an implementation of Article 2 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The article states that "The People's Consultative Assembly consists of members of the People's Representative Council and the Regional Representative Council who are elected through general elections and further regulated by law." Therefore, a special law is needed to regulate the MPR, as also explained in the appendix to Law Number 12 of 2011. However, until now, the MPR institution is still regulated together with the House of Representatives (DPR), the Regional Representative Board (DPD), and the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) in Law Number 2 of 2018 (UUMD3), which has the potential to cause confusion because the four institutions have different positions, functions, and authorities. This study uses a normative legal method with a descriptive analytical approach that is perspective in nature to provide solutions to the problems of state institutional arrangements in Indonesia. The results of the study show that based on Article 2 paragraph (1) of The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia post- amendment, a special law is needed regarding the MPR institution. The regulation of the MPR in one joint legal product with DPR, DPD, and DPRD not only creates ambiguity in society, but also contradicts the characteristics of each institution from a historical, philosophical, sociological, and legal perspective. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a separate MPR Institutional Law from the UUMD3.

VIABILITY AND VIGOR TEST OF RICE SEEDS (Oryza sativa, L.) FARMER'S HARVEST RESULTS
The study aimed to determine the viability and vigor of rice seeds harvested by farmers. The study was conducted in April 2025 in Pare Kranggan Village, Temanggung, by taking several samples of dry rice harvested by farmers. The samples were dried and then tested for viability and vigor. Each seed was placed in a petri dish containing 100 seeds and replicated three times. This study was designed using a Completely Randomized Design. Observations were made for 14 days, observing seed germination (viability) and seed vigor. The results showed that seeds with a germination rate (viability) above 85% were only obtained from two sample farmers. Seed viability significantly influences the seed vigor index, with seeds with high viability also having a high vigor index. High vigor seeds are indicated by seeds with a high germination rate, namely with a vigor index above 20. One factor influencing low seed viability and vigor is that at harvest, the rice is not yet fully physiologically ripe.

LAW ENFORCEMENT ON CONFISCATION OF CORPORATE ASSETS AS AN EFFORT TO RECOVER STATE FINANCES IN CRIMINAL ACTS OF CORRUPTION
Asset forfeiture in corruption is an important legal enforcement instrument that aims not only to punish perpetrators but also to recover state financial losses. Perpetrators of corruption crimes are not only individuals but also corporations, both legal and non-legal entities. The research problems in this study are: how the regulation of corporate asset forfeiture as an effort to recover state financial losses in corruption crimes is formulated and how the enforcement of corporate asset forfeiture is carried out as a means of recovering state financial losses in corruption crimes. The theories employed in this study include law enforcement theory and asset forfeiture theory. This research applies a normative juridical method with an approach based on legislation, legal doctrines and relevant case studies. The results show that corporate asset forfeiture is a strategic measure which has to be a priority in the law enforcement agenda against corruption. Although Indonesia already has several legal instruments governing asset forfeiture, in reality, the implementation is still hindered by various challenges, such as regulatory, institutional and inter-agency coordination. Law enforcement often emphasizes the ultimum remedy approach, resulting in criminal sanctions against corporations to be overlooked and replaced by administrative sanctions. In fact, criminal prosecution of corporations is not only important as the state's measure to penalize crime, but also serves to restore state financial losses through seizure and confusion of illegal profits. This study recommends strengthening regulations through the enactment of the Asset Forfeiture Bill, enhancing the capability of law enforcement officers in understanding the concept of corporate crime and establishing a special agency to handle asset forfeiture professionally and transparently.
