Self-harm among adolescents is a mental health problem influenced by various psychosocial factors, including family support. The family serves as the primary support system that can protect adolescents from the effects of stress and maladaptive coping behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family support and the incidence of self-harm among adolescents. The study employed an analytic quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 476 adolescents selected using a cluster random sampling technique. Family support was measured using the Perceived Social Support–Family (PSS-Fa) questionnaire, while the incidence of self-harm was assessed using the Self-harm Inventory (SHI). Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had high levels of family support (65.8%) and did not engage in self-harm (78.2%). Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between family support and the incidence of self-harm among adolescents (p < 0.001), where adolescents with high family support were more likely to be in the non–self-harm category, while mild and severe self-harm were more commonly found among adolescents with low family support. This study concludes that family support plays an important role as a protective factor against self-harm among adolescents. Strengthening the role of the family should be a key focus in family-based nursing interventions for the prevention of mental health problems in adolescents.

Advances in in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology have expanded the scope of reproductive interventions, from simply addressing infertility to enabling genetic selection of embryos through preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). This advancement not only enables the detection and prevention of severe genetic diseases, but also opens up opportunities for the selection of non-medical traits such as intelligence potential, physical characteristics, or specific polygenic scores, giving rise to the phenomenon of “designer babies.” This development presents complex bioethical issues related to human dignity, social justice, biological safety, and the right of children to have an open future. This paper aims to analyze the ethical issues of selecting non-medical characteristics of embryos in modern IVF through a literature review using a biomedical ethics framework, including the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The findings show that the application of technology for non-medical purposes is still fraught with scientific risks, biological uncertainties, the potential for commercialization of humans, and the threat of socio-biological inequality. This analysis emphasizes the need to restrict the use of technology to clear medical indications, increase regulation and governance, and involve the public in policy formulation. Thus, advances in reproductive technology must be accompanied by strict ethical considerations so as not to sacrifice individual dignity and the value of justice in society.

. Corruption is an extraordinary crime that has a systemic impact on economic stability, governance and the protection of human rights. Indonesia and Singapore show significant differences in the effectiveness of corruption eradication, despite both applying the rule of law principle. Indonesia established the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) through Law Number 30 of 2002 jo. Law No. 19/2019 as an independent institution with powers to investigate and prosecute, but its effectiveness has been weakened by political interference, regulatory revisions, and bureaucratic obstacles. Singapore, on the other hand, relies on the Corrupt Practices Investigation (CPIB) under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1960, which has historical legitimacy, stable political support, and consistent regulations. This difference in effectiveness is reflected in the 2024 Corruption Perception Index, where Indonesia ranks 99th with a score of 37/100, while Singapore ranks 3rd with a score of 84/100. Although the KPK normatively has broader authority, 2024, where Indonesia ranked 99th with a score of 37/100, while Singapore ranked 3rd with a score of 84/100. Although the KPK normatively has broader authority, empirical results show that the success of corruption eradication is determined by institutional integrity, regulatory consistency, and structural independence. This research uses a normative juridical method with a literature study approach and deductive thinking method to analyze the legal basis, and implementation of the two institutions. The results of this study found that the differences between the anti-corruption institutions of the two countries do not merely depend on legal instruments, but on political structure, organizational culture, and institutional commitment in upholding integrity. It is expected to provide normative recommendations to strengthen Indonesia's anti-corruption institution, namely the KPK, through structural, regulative, and institutional reforms

Public communication in efforts to prevent drug abuse faces increasingly complex challenges in the digital era, particularly in reaching young people who are strongly influenced by social media and the dynamics of their social environment. This study aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Surakarta City in carrying out the Drug Abuse Prevention, Eradication, and Illicit Trafficking Program (P4GN) oriented toward the younger generation. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with public relations staff of BNN Surakarta City, as well as a review of program documents and communication materials. The data were analyzed using content analysis and validated through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that BNN’s communication strategies include audience segmentation based on age and educational level, the utilization of digital media such as Instagram and TikTok, and collaboration with local public figures, micro-influencers, and youth communities. Peer-based and participatory communication approaches are considered more effective than one-way, purely informative communication patterns. Nevertheless, limitations in human resources and budget, along with the rapid flow of digital information, remain the main challenges in program implementation. This study emphasizes the importance of persuasive, adaptive, and contextual communication strategies to enhance the effectiveness of P4GN campaigns among the younger generation.

Bullying in Indonesian educational settings remains a serious problem that requires widespread attention. Poor legal understanding among children and adolescents, coupled with suboptimal child protection regulations, increases the risk of violence in schools. To address this issue, a "Fight Bullying" outreach program was conducted in Sumeith Pasinaro Village, aimed at improving students' understanding of the definition, forms, impacts, and legal consequences of bullying. This program utilized a qualitative descriptive approach and a participatory education model, involving 47 students from Sumeith Pasinaro Elementary School and Elpaputih 2 Junior High School. The methods employed included material delivery, interactive discussions, and assessments to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the legal education provided. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in students' understanding of bullying, with an average level of understanding reaching 80.83%. Students were able not only to identify the types of bullying but also to understand the long-term impacts on both victims and perpetrators. This outreach program also helped students understand the legal regulations governing bullying and encouraged them to report or stop such acts. This program emphasizes the importance of a planned and sustainable approach involving teachers and parents to prevent bullying, as well as creating a safe learning environment and supporting child protection.

The criminal justice system in Indonesia is very concerned about money laundering crimes that continue to grow along with technological advances and the complexity of modern economic crimes. This study examines in depth the legal provisions related to TPPU in Indonesia, which is based on Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes. This research aims to identify the role of prosecutors as law enforcers in applying elements of anti-trafficking at the investigation and prosecution stages, as well as to analyze various obstacles that arise in the evidentiary process in court. Using a normative juridical approach, this study utilizes literature analysis, court decision review, and evaluation of relevant legal provisions. The findings of the study show that proving preliminary crimes and the flow of funds from crimes requires public prosecutors to have a comprehensive understanding of money laundering mechanisms, including the placement, layering, and integration stages. In practice, prosecutors face various challenges, such as difficulties in tracing the origins of assets disguised through complex transactions, limited access to financial technology data, and lack of cooperation support between law enforcement and financial institutions. These obstacles often cause the proving process to be protracted and less effective. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of law enforcement officials, strengthen coordination between agencies, and use more optimal technology to support efforts to eradicate trafficking more effectively and comprehensively.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health concern that frequently remains undiagnosed until advanced stages. Early detection through simple laboratory screening is essential to prevent disease progression and associated cardiometabolic complications. This community service program aimed to assess kidney function using serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), while increasing public awareness regarding CKD prevention. A total of 59 participants were included, with a mean age of 39.15 ± 15.39 years (range 16–75 years), predominantly female (74.58%). The mean serum creatinine level was 1.0 ± 0.19 mg/dL, and the mean eGFR was 91.08 ± 20.53 mL/min/1.73 m². Most participants demonstrated normal kidney function (28.8%) or mild decline (21.6%). A progressive reduction in eGFR with increasing age was observed, reflecting the physiological decline in nephron mass and renal perfusion. The program also provided education on kidney-protective practices, including optimal blood pressure control, diabetes management, adequate hydration, and avoidance of nephrotoxic agents. This intervention improved participants’ understanding of CKD risk factors and the importance of regular screening. In conclusion, serum creatinine and eGFR evaluation offer simple, accurate, and practical tools for early CKD detection, supporting promotive–preventive strategies to slow disease progression and enhance quality of life in at-risk populations.

Toddler age is often called the golden period because during this period brain nerve development occurs, especially myelination, as well as a critical period. The golden period can be achieved if toddlers' nutritional needs are optimally met. On the other hand, if babies and toddlers do not get the food they need, the golden period will change into a critical period, thus disrupting their growth and development. The level of education of parents will affect the health and well-being of children, because this is inseparable from the nutritional status of children. Mothers with a high level of education will have a clearer opportunity to absorb information compared to mothers with less or no education. With a good level of education, it is hoped that a mother will be willing and able to behave well in order to improve her child's nutritional status. This Community Service activity aims to provide health education on balanced nutrition to reduce stunting in the community, especially mothers with toddlers in Desa Cangguk, Kecamatan Tanah Pasir, Kabupaten Aceh Utara. This activity used a participatory approach involving lecturers, students, health workers, and the community. The results showed an increase in public understanding and awareness of stunting prevention. It is hoped that this activity will raise public awareness about balanced nutrition for children

Hypertension is a highly prevalent non-communicable disease often referred to as "The Silent Killer" because it rarely shows symptoms until it causes serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. This community service activity aims to optimize the Mobile Blood Pressure Monitoring Program as a hypertension screening method in Sanahu Village. The methods used include participant data collection, blood pressure checks with a manual sphygmomanometer, and health education on hypertension prevention. A total of 96 participants participated in this activity, and the results showed that 58 participants (60.4%) were hypertensive. This program has proven effective in reaching communities with limited access to health services and raising public awareness about the importance of early detection of non-communicable diseases. In addition, this activity succeeded in providing knowledge to the community about how to prevent hypertension and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which is expected to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the future.

This study is motivated by the increasing dynamics of criminal activity within the jurisdiction of the East Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (Polda NTT), characterized by regional variations and complex causal factors. Conventional crimes such as assault, theft, and mob violence dominate the crime landscape and significantly affect social stability. The purpose of this research is to analyze the patterns, causes, and crime control strategies implemented by Polda NTT in maintaining public security and order. The study employs an empirical legal approach using a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative analysis of crime statistics with qualitative interviews involving police officers. Data were obtained from the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimum) of Polda NTT and cover all police jurisdictions, including one city police department and twenty-one district police offices. Findings reveal that crime rates in NTT are strongly influenced by social, economic, cultural, and geographical factors. The most prevalent crimes include assault, ordinary theft, traffic accidents, and mob violence. Major contributing factors consist of a local culture of violence, alcohol consumption, economic hardship, and low legal literacy. Polda NTT’s strategies involve preventive measures (routine patrols and public legal education), repressive actions (law enforcement and offender guidance), and humanistic approaches such as the Jumat Curhat program, which facilitates direct dialogue with the community.

Crime, an unlawful act that contradicts ethics and norms, has now become a primary factor for the police in Lampung province. This presents a challenge for the police institution in predicting high crime rates. However, there are still many crimes that have not become the main focus of problem-solving at the Lampung Regional Police.This research aims to identify the types and criminal acts of crime with the highest recorded incidence in a crime dataset by performing classification using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. The data was obtained from investigators at the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation of the Lampung Regional Police, with a total of 12,034 JTP (Total Criminal Acts) and 7,518 PTP (Crime Resolution) data points for each type of crime, distributed across the Regional Police, City Police, and District Police throughout Lampung province. The classification process using the Naïve Bayes algorithm reveals the relationship between the work unit (Satker) and the type of crime handled, thereby identifying crime patterns based on the location where they are handled. The results of the research, which involved converting numerical data into binomial (binary) form using the "Numerical to Binominal" feature in Rapid miner, show that the analysis and modeling process, especially in algorithms like Naïve Bayes or decision trees, is more effective when using data in a binary format. Thus, the initial dataset can be visualized in the form of a , with the size of the text varying according to the level of each high-incidence crime; the larger the text, the more frequently or significantly the crime occurred or was reported. The application of this method can help in identifying patterns, dominant trends, and areas of focus for more targeted law enforcement efforts or crime prevention policies.

Drug abuse in Indonesia is a form of social deviance influenced by psychological pressure, structural conditions, and weak social ties. This phenomenon is not only related to legal aspects but also arises as a response to stress, anxiety, and negative emotional experiences. Theories such as self-medication, escapism, Durkheim and Merton's Anomie, and Agnew's General Strain Theory suggest that drug abuse behavior can develop due to imbalanced norms, social tension, and an individual's inability to cope with life's pressures. In inmates, these factors are exacerbated by challenging social and economic experiences prior to their incarceration, increasing the risk of involvement in drug use and trafficking. This study emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach to understanding this deviance and supporting rehabilitation and social reintegration efforts. Strengthening the roles of families, communities, and educational institutions in preventing drug abuse is crucial for providing ongoing support. A deeper understanding of the patterns of individual involvement in drug abuse is key to designing more effective prevention programs, based on psychological, social, and structural approaches to reduce the long-term impact of drug abuse on society.

Suicide among adolescents is a serious mental health problem; however, not all adolescents with suicidal ideation progress to suicide attempts. Understanding the psychological factors that influence the transition from intention to actual behavior is essential for effective prevention efforts. This study aims to examine the role of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in understanding the transition from suicidal intention to suicide attempt behavior, as well as protective behaviors such as mental health help-seeking among adolescents. This study employs a literature review method with a quantitative correlational approach based on the TPB framework, using secondary data from scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025 and obtained through Google Scholar and PubMed. The findings indicate that suicidal ideation is the strongest predictor of suicidal intention but does not always lead to suicide attempts. TPB constructs, particularly perceived behavioral control (PBC), play a crucial role in determining whether intention develops into risky behavior or is redirected toward protective behaviors. In addition, positive attitudes toward mental health services and supportive social norms were found to strengthen adolescents’ intentions to seek help. In conclusion, TPB is a relevant theoretical framework for explaining both risk pathways and prevention pathways of adolescent suicide and has the potential to serve as a foundation for developing more effective prevention interventions.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia which can lead to serious complications if not properly managed. This community service activity aimed to increase public knowledge regarding diabetes mellitus and its prevention among residents of Rejomulyo Village, Jati Agung District, South Lampung. The method used was health education through lectures supported by leaflets and blood glucose screening, followed by evaluation using pre-test and post-test. A total of 25 community members participated in this activity. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge after the educational intervention. Pre-test results indicated limited understanding of blood glucose control and dietary management, while post-test results showed increased knowledge levels in both aspects. This activity demonstrates that health education is effective in improving community awareness and knowledge regarding diabetes mellitus prevention and management. This educational program is effective in increasing the knowledge of the people of Rejomulyo Village, Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency regarding diabetes mellitus.

The study was conducted at Middle Technical University (College of Health & Medical Techniques, Baghdad) from 29Th October 2024 to 15Th January 2025, enrolling 148 students aged 20–24 years (47.3%), 25–29 years (41.9%), 30–39 years (9.5%), and over 40 years (1.4%), Participants completed a structured questionnaire to assess attitudes toward drug abuse. Regarding protective attitudes, 66.2% agreed that educational programs aid prevention, 68.9% viewed better education as protective, 58.8% cited close family ties, and 72.2% recommended avoiding friends who use drugs, Departmental analysis showed the highest proportion of ―good knowledge in Anesthesia Techniques (95.3%) and the lowest in Physical Therapy Techniques (80.2%) While overall awareness of drug abuse is high among health and medical students, misconceptions regarding its symptoms and effects persist. Targeted educational interventions—especially within departments showing lower knowledge—and reinforcement of accurate prevention and treatment strategies are recommended to strengthen students’ competencies in addressing drug abuse.

Hypertension remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, including in the Parang Banoa neighborhood, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency. Therefore, this Field Learning Experience (PBL) activity was implemented with the aim of increasing community knowledge about hypertension, particularly regarding its prevention and control. The activity was carried out through several stages, including health education, questionnaires, and blood pressure checks for residents of RT 002 in the Parang Banoa neighborhood. The interventions provided included health education, distribution of educational posters, and blood pressure checks for 11 respondents. Results showed an increase in community knowledge after the intervention. Prior to the education, most respondents had sufficient knowledge (81.8%), with a small proportion having insufficient knowledge (18.2%). However, after the education, all respondents (100%) experienced an increase in knowledge regarding hypertension prevention and control. Therefore, ongoing health education and healthy lifestyle changes, such as reducing salt intake, quitting smoking, and regular exercise, are needed. These efforts are expected to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the Parang Banoa neighborhood and improve overall community health.

Bullying in secondary schools is a serious issue that affects students’ psychosocial well-being and academic achievement, and significantly disrupts the learning climate and the quality of social relationships among students. This community service activity aimed to implement the Child-Friendly School Program through anti-bullying socialization at SMA N 1 Kersana in order to enhance the understanding and commitment of all school members in creating a safe, inclusive, and sustainable learning environment. The method employed a participatory approach, including needs assessment, interactive socialization sessions, focus group discussions, case simulations, and structured evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments. The results indicated a 23% increase in participants’ understanding based on the comparison of scores before and after the intensive implementation of the program. Furthermore, a “Bullying-Free School” declaration was established along with a plan to strengthen the Violence Prevention and Handling Team as a more systematic sustainability strategy. These findings confirm that participatory-based socialization effectively reinforces the implementation of the Child-Friendly School Program and fosters a safe, inclusive, sustainable, and responsive school culture that supports students’ positive character development.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in forensic investigation has significantly transformed the analysis and authentication of digital evidence. This paper explores the role of AI technologies, specifically machine learning and deep learning algorithms, in examining digital evidence from various sources, including computers, mobile devices, and network systems. We provide an in-depth analysis of current AI-based forensic tools, their efficiency in evidence authentication, and the challenges they face regarding legal admissibility. Our findings indicate that AI-powered forensic systems can detect digital evidence tampering with 94.7% accuracy, drastically reducing analysis time from weeks to hours. However, challenges remain, particularly in areas such as algorithmic transparency, bias prevention, and ensuring the integrity of the chain of custody. This research offers a framework for incorporating AI in forensic laboratories, while also addressing crucial legal and ethical concerns to ensure the admissibility of AI-analyzed evidence in court. These considerations are essential for the widespread acceptance and use of AI in forensic investigations.

The practice of fishing using bombs (blast fishing) presents a serious threat to marine ecosystems and the sustainability of coastal communities' livelihoods. Law enforcement against these violations faces complex challenges, especially in large areas of water with limited fleet and patrol personnel. Perpetrators who move quickly and change locations, coupled with the lack of reports from the public due to fear or social ties, further complicate enforcement efforts. In addition, access to hidden locations and coordination between law enforcement agencies that are not optimal are also the main obstacles. Global studies confirm that the lack of effective law enforcement and adequate governance is a significant driver of these destructive practices, even beyond socio-economic factors. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed that includes strengthening integrated marine patrols on a regular basis, imposing strict sanctions, increasing socialization of the dangers of fish bombs, and the active involvement of coastal communities as supervisors. A synergistic approach between law enforcement officials and local communities, combining prevention and joint management measures, is key to achieving effective marine conservation and sustainable management of fishery resources.

The development of social media as part of digital technology has significantly transformed patterns of social interaction among adolescents in Indonesia. Social media no longer functions solely as a medium for communication and self-expression, but also as a social space that influences behavioral formation, including deviant and criminal behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of social media on juvenile criminal behavior from a criminological perspective, with particular attention to social learning processes and the weakening of social control in digital environments. This research employs a qualitative method using a literature study approach by examining scientific journals, official reports, and statistical data related to social media use and adolescent behavior. The findings indicate that high intensity of social media use, exposure to negative content, and the normalization of aggressive behavior in digital spaces contribute to increased vulnerability of adolescents to criminal behaviors such as cyberbullying, online aggression, and other forms of deviance. Within the framework of Social Learning Theory, social media serves as a medium for behavioral learning through mechanisms of observation, imitation, and social reinforcement, while Social Control Theory highlights how weak supervision by families and educational institutions amplifies the risk of deviant behavior. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of preventive, non-penal approaches through strengthening social control, improving digital literacy, and enhancing the active role of families and schools to minimize the risk of juvenile criminal behavior in the digital era.
