The phenomenon of neglected elderly has become a complex social problem along with the increasing number of elderly population and changes in family structure in urban areas. Medan City as the third largest metropolitan city in Indonesia faces challenges in providing optimal social services for neglected elderly. This study uses a qualitative research method with a library research approach. Data collection was carried out through a literature review of various relevant library sources, including scientific journals, books, research reports, policy documents, and official publications of related agencies. Data analysis used content analysis techniques to identify patterns and themes related to the effectiveness of social service management for neglected elderly. The results of the study indicate that social service management in Medan City has not been fully effective in handling neglected elderly. In terms of planning, there are still limitations in mapping and recording neglected elderly data. In terms of organization, coordination between agencies is still weak. Program implementation faces constraints of budget and human resource limitations. The monitoring and evaluation system has not been running optimally. Supporting factors include local government commitment, availability of regulations, and community participation. While inhibiting factors include budget constraints, lack of professional staff, and minimal cross-sector coordination. This study recommends the need to strengthen the social service management system through increasing human resource capacity, optimizing the budget, and strengthening cross-sector coordination to improve the effectiveness of handling the elderly in Medan City.

This research is motivated by the low discipline of a number of students in performing congregational prayers, which is indicated by lateness, disorderliness, and efforts to avoid the obligation.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the endemic diseases that is still a public health challenge in Indonesia. Although the government has launched various programs, such as 3M Plus and fogging, the number of DHF cases still shows significant variations each year. This study aims to evaluate the community's contribution to controlling DHF by emphasizing the extent to which awareness is applied in real action. The method used is a literature study of 30 scientific articles on DHF published between 2015 and 2024.

This study aims to understand the concept of takror learning in strengthening students' memorization, to examine the implementation of takror learning in strengthening the memorization of students in the tahfidz program of TPQ at the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen, and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of takror learning in the tahfidz program of TPQ at the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen. This research uses a qualitative field method with interview and observation techniques. The results of the study indicate that the concept of takror learning implemented at the TPQ tahfidz program of the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen is intended to strengthen students’ memorization. Takror learning is divided into two types: classical and individual. The process of takror learning also involves several stages. The takror learning implemented in the tahfidz program at TPQ of the Great Mosque of Az-Zuhud, Petanahan, Kebumen is carried out individually and classically. Individual learning is applie d after classical learning is completed, where students review their memorization and receive guidance from an ustadz (male teacher) or ustadzah (female teacher). Meanwhile, classical learning is conducted by collectively reviewing memorization in front of the ustadz or ustadzah. The factors supporting the implementation of takror learning there include time availability and the presence of PKBM (Community Learning Activity Center) activities. In contrast, the inhibiting factors are mostly related to age, which makes it difficult for students to manage their time during the learning process

Conceptual understanding is an important aspect of learning biology because it reflects the extent to which students can internalize knowledge and relate it to real life. This study aims to analyse the level of understanding of the concept of biodiversity of students and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in the biology learning process. The research was conducted in class X of SMA Negeri 1 Pineleng with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through observation, written tests, questionnaires, teacher interviews, and documentation. Conceptual comprehension is measured using three main indicators: the ability to restate concepts, classify objects based on certain properties, and provide examples rather than definitions. The results showed that 87.5% of students had achieved a good level of understanding of classification indicators and giving examples, but only 50% were able to restate concepts completely. The supporting factors identified include learning motivation, parental mentoring, teacher learning strategies, and student absorption. On the other hand, barriers to understanding include lack of enthusiasm for learning, an unsupportive environment, and a lack of parental involvement. These findings confirm that the success of conceptual understanding is determined not only by cognitive aspects but also by comprehensive pedagogical and social support. This research makes an important contribution to the development of more contextual and participatory biology learning strategies, as well as opens opportunities for further research that explores the use of innovative media in strengthening conceptual understanding.

This research examines the implementation of the principle of openness in the examination of cases in civil court proceedings in Indonesia, focusing on two main issues: (1) how the principle of openness is regulated and applied in civil court practices, and (2) what key obstacles hinder the implementation of this openness. The purpose of the study is to provide an in-depth overview of the mechanisms for implementing the principle of openness in the civil judicial process and to identify inhibiting factors that need to be addressed promptly in order to make the judicial system more transparent and accountable. This study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data were obtained through literature review, including legislation, legal doctrines, and relevant court decisions, and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the principle of openness is well accommodated normatively within Indonesia’s civil judicial system; however, its implementation still faces significant challenges, such as limited supporting facilities, inadequate dissemination among judicial officers, and the tension between protecting the privacy of parties and ensuring public access to information. To address these issues, improvements in technological infrastructure, human resource training, and internal policy revisions are essential steps to optimize the principle of openness in civil court proceedings.

The phenomenon of street children, vagrants, and beggars is still a fairly complex social problem in Pasuruan City. The Pasuruan City Government has issued Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2021 as an effort to overcome the existence of street children, vagrants and beggars who are considered to disturb public order. This study aims to determine how the policy is implemented and identify supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach and uses the Van Metter and Van Horn policy implementation theory as the basis for analysis. The results of the study show that although the policy has fairly clear standards and targets, its implementation has not been optimal due to the lack of resources, the unavailability of special rehabilitation facilities in Pasuruan City, and the weak ongoing commitment of the implementers. Coordination between implementing agencies is also not fully synergistic. Therefore, the successful implementation of this Regional Regulation requires improvements in aspects of resources, rehabilitation facilities, and strengthening cross-agency cooperation. A stronger commitment is needed from the local government so that handling street children, vagrants and beggars can be carried out more comprehensively and sustainably.
