A traffic accident is a social risk event that causes serious losses, either in the form of injury, loss of property, or death of a family member. The State provides protection through the Road Traffic Accident Fund as stipulated in Law Number 34 of 1964 and Government Regulation Number 18 of 1965. However, in practice, the regulation of the status of victims and the coverage of the heirs of the beneficiaries still raises juridical and social problems because they do not fully reflect substantive justice. This study aims to analyze the concept of victims and heirs in the applicable Road Traffic Accident Fund regulations, as well as formulate a more equitable reconstruction of the regulation. This research is normative legal research with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. Analysis is carried out on positive legal norms and social realities that develop in society. The results of the study show that the definition of victim and the limitation of the coverage of heirs in the current positive law are narrow and administrative, so they are less responsive to the complexity of social relations and the economic dependence of the families of traffic accident victims. The mismatch between normative boundaries and social realities has implications for the non-achievement of the goals of social protection and substantive justice. Therefore, this study offers a reconstruction of the interpretation of the concept of victims and an expansion of the coverage of heirs that is more responsive, inclusive, and oriented towards social protection.

Background: Hand grip strength is an essential indicator of physical capacity and nutritional status that can identify obesity risk. Adipose tissue accumulation in central obesity contributes to decreased hand grip strength quality through impaired muscle force transmission. Previous studies showed inconsistent results regarding the relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength, especially in populations with high physical activity. Objective: To analyze the relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength in male construction workers with high physical activity in Medan City. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study with cross-sectional design involved 100 male construction workers aged 30-39 years selected using purposive sampling technique. Waist circumference was measured using measuring tape, while hand grip strength was measured using handgrip dynamometer. Data analysis used Chi-Square test with significance level α=0.05. Results: The majority of respondents had normal waist circumference (64%) with mode 70 cm and normal grip strength category (53%) with mode 41.7 kg. Chi-Square test showed significant relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength (p=0.039). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength in construction workers. High physical activity does not completely prevent central obesity, therefore nutritional management and health education programs are needed for optimization of body composition and muscle functional capacity.

The rapid development of digital technology has led to an increased adoption of digital payment methods in online transaction-based businesses. However, in practice, failures and limitations in the implementation of digital payment systems still occur, potentially disrupting transaction processes and reducing customer convenience. Payment related obstacles may result in transaction cancellations and increase the risk of customer churn. This study aims to analyze the impact of failures and limitations in digital payment methods on customer churn using a classification-based approach. The data used in this research are secondary e-commerce customer data obtained from the Kaggle platform, including transaction information, payment methods, customer behavior, and historical transaction records. The research methodology consists of data preprocessing, time-based feature engineering, and classification modeling using logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest algorithms. Model performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrix metrics. The results indicate that the decision tree model demonstrates superior capability in identifying churn customers compared to the other models, although it does not always achieve the highest accuracy. In addition to digital payment methods, other factors such as purchase value, transaction frequency, purchase timing patterns, and product return rates also influence customer churn. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing digital payment systems as part of customer experience enhancement strategies and customer retention efforts in online transaction–based businesses.

Construction projects have unique characteristics that differ from other operational activities, as they are time-limited, involve a variety of resources, and require coordination across organizations. Occupational safety and health (K3) is an important element in protecting the workforce as well as the company's assets. This study aims to analyze the implementation of K3 policies in the construction project of PT. X. The research method uses a qualitative approach with case studies, while data analysis is carried out thematically based on the George C. Edwards III policy implementation model, which includes aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study show that the implementation of the K3 policy has been running but has not been optimal. The communication aspect has not been carried out regularly and continuously, resources are still limited with task trapping, the disposition of policy implementers is not evenly distributed, marked by low worker compliance, and the bureaucratic structure has not been supported by standardized SOPs and coordination between work units is still weak. This condition creates a gap between the K3 policy and the implementation in the field, so that it has the potential to increase the risk of work accidents and reduce the effectiveness of labor protection. This research emphasizes the need to strengthen communication, increase resources, implement commitment, and improve the bureaucratic structure to support the implementation of more effective K3 policies.

The interactive learning video innovation "Human Blood Circulation" through Edpuzzle, with embedded questions, is designed to address the difficulties faced by fifth-grade elementary school students in understanding abstract biological concepts. Science education in elementary schools often encounters challenges in explaining invisible processes, such as the heart's working mechanism and blood circulation, leading students to struggle with comprehension or merely memorize the material. Conventional learning videos tend to make students passive, necessitating media that can transform the learning process into an active one. Edpuzzle, as an educational platform, allows teachers to insert questions at critical points in the video, requiring students to answer before continuing to watch. This innovation aligns with the cognitive development stage of fifth-grade students, who are in the concrete operational stage.The research objectives include product development, validity and feasibility testing, analysis of conceptual understanding improvement, influence on focus and learning independence, and student responses. Media development refers to Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia and the characteristics of interactive videos according to Heinich et al. Additionally, media development models such as ADDIE and Dick and Carey are discussed. The main benefits of using Edpuzzle include increasing engagement, facilitating real-time formative assessment, and enhancing learning motivation. However, challenges exist such as technology access, teacher readiness, the risk of technology dependency, and long-term evaluation. The practical implications can support digital learning and the transformation of elementary science education.

Evaluation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning plays a strategic role in assessing the achievement of educational goals while supporting the character development of students. The evaluation process not only considers cognitive aspects but also includes affective and psychomotor aspects, such as the appreciation of religious values, noble morals, and the ability to perform religious services. This study aims to describe the relationship between the scope of PAI evaluation and the process of character development of students. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with the research location at SDN Ngebel, Kasihan, Bantul. The research subjects included PAI teachers, students in grades I, V, and VI, and several parents. Data were collected through interviews with teachers, students, and guardians, observations of learning activities and religious practices, and documentation, including records of grades and religious activity agendas. Using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, data analysis included the stages of presentation, reduction, and drawing conclusions. Triangulation methods and sources ensured the validity of the data. The results showed that the implementation of a comprehensive PAI evaluation, which included academic assessment, religious practices, and moral behavior, had a significant impact on the development of student character. This is especially true in terms of religiosity, discipline, and responsibility. Therefore, the broader and more integrated the scope of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) evaluation, the greater its contribution to the overall character formation of students.

This study analyzes the relationship between Christian faith and artificial intelligence (AI) through a theological-philosophical approach and assesses its relevance to the existence of the Catholic Church in the digital age. The background of this study stems from the rapid development of AI, which brings both opportunities and risks to the life of faith, such as the simplification of theological teachings, the reduction of personal relationships, and the emergence of a technocratic paradigm. The study uses qualitative methods with a literature review of the Holy Scriptures, Church documents, and literature on philosophy and technology ethics. The results of the analysis show that AI is a product of human creativity as the image of God, so it does not conflict with faith, but it remains instrumental and does not have moral or spiritual dimensions like humans. Therefore, AI cannot replace the role of humans in faith relationships. The Church is called to guide technological development through Christian ethical principles, upholding human dignity, being critical of the effects of dehumanization, and utilizing AI wisely for evangelization, catechesis, and faith education. With a reflective and critical approach, the Church can remain relevant amid technological advances without losing its identity and mission for the common good.  

Academic stress is a psychological pressure commonly experienced by final-year university students, particularly during the process of completing their undergraduate thesis. High academic demands, limited time, pressure to graduate on schedule, and various obstacles encountered during research may intensify students’ emotional burden. When left unmanaged, academic stress can escalate into more serious psychological problems, including suicidal ideation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic stress levels and suicidal ideation among final-year students at Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang. This research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 180 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments consisted of the Perceived Academic Stress (PAS) scale to measure academic stress levels and the Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ) to assess suicidal ideation. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of students experienced high (49.4%) and very high (47.8%) levels of academic stress. Meanwhile, suicidal ideation was most commonly found in the mild category (42.8%), followed by the no-risk category (28.9%). The statistical test indicated a significance value of p = 0.021 with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.172, demonstrating a positive and significant relationship between academic stress and suicidal ideation. These findings indicate that higher levels of academic stress are associated with an increased likelihood of suicidal thoughts among final-year students. The study highlights the importance of mental health support, academic guidance, and accessible counseling services to mitigate psychological distress and reduce the risk of suicidal ideation during the thesis completion period.

Work ability is proven to have a significant effect on employee performance. The results of the indirect effect analysis show that work ability is not able to mediate the effect of performance appraisal on employee performance; however, it is able to mediate the effect of training on employee performance. Thus, work ability plays an important role in improving employee performance, particularly through the effective implementation of training.

The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors continue to increase in Indonesia. Riskesdas 2018 showed an increase in the main indicators of NCDs, such as hypertension, obesity, and smoking habits. The low knowledge of health workers, patients, and the community about NCDs is often the cause of the difficulty in controlling the disease, especially blood pressure. Knowledge can be increased by several factors, including age and understanding of mindset. This study aims to identify the impact of education on increasing the knowledge of health cadres. The method used is quantitative with a pre-experimental design, using a one group pre-test and post-test approach. A sample of 10 individuals was selected using the total sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaires before and after providing education about Posbindu NCDs and non-communicable diseases of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The analysis was carried out univariately, and after the normality test showed that the pre-test and post-test data were normally distributed, the Paired sample t-test was carried out. The results showed that almost half of the respondents were between 41-50 years old (50%), and more than half of the respondents had a senior high school education level (80%). The Paired sample t-test produced p-value of 0.001 which is smaller than 0.05. In conclusion, there is a significant effect of providing education on increasing the knowledge of health cadres. Further training is needed to improve the understanding and skills of health cadres.

Data were collected through medical records and questionnaires related to medical treatment and rehabilitation. Data analysis was carried out using the SPSS program, including descriptive analysis and logistic regression to see the relationship between clinical factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lifestyle, BMI, and other factors) and stroke incidence. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the average age of stroke patients was 56.2 ± 9.8 years, with an age range of 39–78 years. The average BMI of the patient was 27.5 ± 3.1 kg/m² which indicates a tendency to be overweight. The average systolic blood pressure of the patient was 150 ± 18 mmHg, indicating the predominance of hypertension in stroke patients. The average length of rehabilitation lasted 6.3 ± 1.8 weeks. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant relationship between clinical factors, especially hypertension, BMI, and diabetes mellitus, and stroke incidence. Clinical factors such as hypertension, high BMI, and diabetes mellitus contribute significantly to the incidence of stroke at Oe-Cusse Referral Hospital.

Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are closely related non-communicable diseases and major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, particularly in older adults. These conditions are influenced by medical, behavioral, family, and environmental factors, requiring a holistic family medicine approach through home visits. This study aimed to describe the clinical condition, family function, and environmental factors of a 60-year-old female patient with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia using the APGAR and SCREEM approaches. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design in the form of a case report involving Mrs. S (60 years old) in Lebbek Village, Pamekasan Regency. Data were collected through anamnesis, physical examination, total cholesterol measurement using a GCU meter, environmental observation, and assessment of family function and environmental factors. The results showed blood pressure values of 161/96 mmHg and 160/96 mmHg on repeated measurement, with a total cholesterol level of 154 mg/dL. The patient had a high-salt and high-fat diet with low physical activity. APGAR assessment indicated poor family function with a total score of 4, particularly in the partnership and resolve domains, while the growth domain was categorized as accepting. SCREEM analysis identified education as the main barrier. In conclusion, management of this condition requires family-based interventions focusing on improving family cooperation and health education tailored to the patient’s literacy level.

The untimely formation of government regulations on the delegation of laws is still a serious problem in the practice of forming laws and regulations in Indonesia. It was recorded that from 2021 to 2023 there were 16 government regulations that were formed late, which shows that there are problems in the follow-up mechanism for legislation delegations. The author analyzes whether the government has a legal obligation in the timeliness of the formation of government regulations as implementing rules. In addition, this study also examines the juridical and practical implications of the law if a delegated government regulation is formed late. The data used are quantitative and supported by doctrinal research methods through the analysis of laws and regulations, expert opinions, and related legal literature. The results of the study show that the government has a legal obligation to form government regulations in a timely manner. The delay in the formation of government regulations has an impact on disrupting the effectiveness of the implementation of the law and causes some provisions to not be implemented optimally because the implementing instruments are not yet available according to the specified deadline. In addition, these delays have the potential to cause legal uncertainty for the public, law enforcement officials, and policy implementing agencies. The vacuum of implementing rules can also trigger differences in interpretation, hinder policy implementation, and increase the risk of legal disputes. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of stricter monitoring and evaluation mechanisms against the deadline for the formation of government regulations to ensure legal certainty and regulatory effectiveness.

Stunting is a phenomenon of growth impairment experienced by infants and young children under 5 years of age, particularly toddlers aged 0–59 months. Based on Global Prevalence Data, approximately 21.9% to 22% of toddlers worldwide experience stunting. Several factors that contribute to stunting include breastfeeding and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) practices. This study aims to explore the association between experiences of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) and the incidence of stunting among children in the Kampa Community Health Center area. The method used in this study was a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted during the period of January 8–13, 2024, at the Kampa Community Health Center, involving toddlers aged 6–59 months, with a population of 1,576 toddlers. The sample consisted of 68 mothers who had stunted toddlers, measured using a height-for-age (H/A) Z-score of less than -2 standard deviations (SD). The sampling technique applied was total sampling. Data collection was carried out using a microtoise and questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square method. The findings showed a significant relationship between a history of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting with a P value of 0.00 < 0.05, as well as a significant relationship between exclusive complementary feeding (MP-ASI) and the incidence of stunting in toddlers with a P value of 0.04 < 0.05. It is recommended that health workers organize counseling classes on lactation and conduct demonstrations on how to prepare complementary foods (MP-ASI), focusing on the use of affordable local food ingredients that are rich in animal protein. In addition, continuous training for community health cadres needs to be carried out to improve early detection through accurate anthropometric measurements, so that toddlers at risk of stunting can be promptly managed.

This study aims to analyze product failures and propose improvement actions for cabinet products at CV. Arafah Jaya Purwakarta. Based on production data from November 2024 to April 2025, cabinet products showed the highest defect rate compared to other products, reaching 13%. The most common defects include wood cracks, warped wood, and brittle wood. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) was applied to identify and prioritize potential failures based on the Risk Priority Number (RPN), while Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) was used to systematically determine the root causes of failures. The analysis results indicate that the main causes of defects are related to substandard raw material quality, environmental conditions, and insufficient supervision during the production process. Based on the results of FMEA and FTA, improvement proposals were developed using the 5W+1H approach, focusing on improving raw material selection, controlling wood storage conditions, and enhancing work procedures and production supervision. These improvement efforts are expected to reduce defect rates and improve the overall quality of cabinet products.
