ABSTRACT
This sociological study analyses the normative regimes and heterogeneous logics of action mobilised by carers and patients in the management of dengue fever at Bingerville General Hospital. It examines power relationships, social imaginations and medical devices in a context of biocrisis. Based on a methodological triangulation (interviews, participant observation, documentary analysis), the study highlights dissonances between biomedical norms and lay knowledge. These discrepancies compromise the co-production of care. The analysis thus calls for therapeutic protocols to be reconfigured to incorporate local rationalities, with a view to more reflexive, situated and intersubjectively negotiated health governance.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Vocational High School revitalization policy in forming industrial class 4.0 and identify factors that support and hinder the program's implementation. The research was conducted at Donomulyo Islamic Vocational School, Malang Regency. The data analysis technique in this study used descriptive qualitative methods. The results found that Donomulyo Islamic Vocational School has implemented the revitalization policy of vocational school well, primarily through the industrial class program that divides learning into theory and practice sessions. Through the Ministry of Education and Culture, the central government supports implementing this policy with coordination, socialization, and monitoring through Takola technology. However, there are challenges in student readiness, low discipline, and difficulty adapting to industrial work patterns. Supporting factors for implementing this policy include the memorandum of understanding with the industry, the industrial internship program, and financial and facility support. The main obstacles include limited industry human resources, low coordination, lack of funding, and limited facilities and infrastructure. Therefore, the synergy between schools and industries, increased funding, and curriculum flexibility are needed to revitalize vocational schools more optimized by industry needs. This research is expected to contribute to Donomulyo Islamic Vocational School in improving the effectiveness of vocational revitalization policies through expanding industrial internship cooperation, increasing the professionalism of policy actors, and systematic policy evaluation. In addition, strengthening community involvement through participatory mechanisms is needed to ensure transparency and optimization of policy implementation by industry and public needs.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy of providing additional, conditional income improvement allowances to improve the performance of civil servants, as well as identify inhibiting and supporting factors for its implementation. The research location was at the Regional Development Planning Agency office in Jayawijaya Regency. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with Miles and Huberman analysis techniques based on interview data, observation, and documentation. This study found that implementing the income improvement allowance policy at Bappeda Jayawijaya Regency is relatively effective but still leaves various structural deficiencies. Income improvement allowance improves discipline, productivity, and job satisfaction, with allocations based on position, workload, and discipline, although employee understanding of the assessment mechanism is uneven. Successful implementation is supported by human resource competence, budget adequacy, organizational communication, and electronic attendance systems. In contrast, the main challenges of lack of transparency, limited facilities, weak commitment of implementers, and employee resistance still hamper the effectiveness of the policy. The findings emphasize the need for internal communication reform, strengthening the integrity of implementers, and continuous education on policy substance to ensure more sustainable success. This research is expected to contribute to Bappeda Jayawijaya Regency in strengthening human resources through training and education to improve employees' managerial and communication skills. In addition, ensuring the timely availability of the income improvement allowance budget and implementing strict supervision of employee attendance and performance is important. Providing strict sanctions will also improve discipline and effectiveness of policy implementation.

ABSTRACT
Intersubjective communication refers to the interactive communication between subjects for mutual understanding, identification, and solutions to the problems. The objectives of this research were to explore the procedures of cultural transmission by studying intersubjective communication in higher education between China and “Belt and Road” countries. The researcher adopted semi-interview with 13 participants and analyzed through MAXQDA software (V. 2020) and text analysis based on Yuri M. Lotman’s dialogue. The major finding indicated that intersubjective communication in higher education between China and “Belt and Road” countries works through contact and selection, internalization and integration, and transmission.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the implementation and obstacles in the distribution program of earthquake-affected house repair assistance funds by Regent Regulation Number 26 of 2023. The research was conducted in Dampit Sub-district, Malang Regency. The data analysis technique in this research uses qualitative analysis techniques. This study found that the absence of a special Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) caused the mechanism for distributing aid funds to be complicated and convoluted, resulting in delays in disbursement. Earthquake victims urgently needed relief funds from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in the Dampit Sub-district, but administrative constraints slowed their distribution. The implementation team from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Malang District and Dampit Sub-district have worked optimally according to their primary duties and functions and the technical guidelines in Regent Regulation No. 26 of 2023, with good coordination between the implementation team and disaster victims. Supporting factors for the success of this program include cross-party cooperation, technical guidelines, and employee integrity in data collection and verification. The inhibiting factors are complex mechanisms, limited trained human resources, and a manual data collection system prone to manipulation. This research contributes to policy implementers by recommending the preparation of special SOPs, increasing human resource capacity, intensive socialization, and building information systems for transparency and efficiency in the distribution and data collection of aid recipients.

ABSTRACT
Taxes are mandatory contributions that individuals and entities must fulfill to support state activities. One significant tax component is the Value-Added Tax (VAT), which substantially contributes to state revenue, including from the tobacco industry sector. However, violations of tax obligations, such as using fictitious tax invoices, often result in state financial losses. One critical case is the re-determination of suspects in a VAT matter involving the tobacco industry in Blitar during 2015-2016, which sparked debates over the legality of the legal procedures. This study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and case approach to analyze legal procedures related to the re-determination of suspects. The findings indicate that the re-determination of suspects in this case failed to adhere to the principles of justice and applicable legal procedures. The re-determination was carried out without adequate evidence, utilizing previously processed evidence in court without an Eintracht verdict, making it premature and violating the ne bis in idem principle. This highlights that the applied legal procedures did not reflect proper legal practices. This study recommends enhancing the capacity of law enforcement officers to understand tax law and ensure objective judicial processes with valid evidence. Imitating the ultimum remedium principle and applying fair legal principles in tax cases are essential steps to create a better tax system and prevent future violations.
