This study aims to analyze the implementation of integrity and ethics among Civil Servants (ASN) in public service delivery at the 5 Ilir Subdistrict Office in Palembang City. The 5 Ilir area, which is located in an urban setting with high population density and dynamic socio-economic activities, requires subdistrict officials to provide fast, responsive, and citizen-oriented services. The study adopts a qualitative approach using purposive sampling, designating the Head of the Subdistrict as the key informant. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, direct observation of administrative service processes, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method to identify practices, values, and mechanisms related to the enforcement of integrity and ethics in public services. The results indicate that the implementation of integrity and ethics at the 5 Ilir Subdistrict Office is reflected in transparent standard operating procedures, an open queuing system, routine briefings, internal and external supervision mechanisms, and responsive leadership in addressing community issues, including the resolution of social conflicts and flood mitigation. The existence of a legal aid post further strengthens public access to justice. The enforcement of integrity is not merely normative but is systematically implemented through regulations, organizational culture, and oversight mechanisms. This study recommends strengthening the digitalization of public services as a strategy to enhance transparency, accountability, and service quality at the subdistrict level.

Occupational health is an important aspect in maintaining worker productivity and safety, particularly in sectors with a high risk of chemical exposure such as gas stations (SPBU). Gas station workers are potentially exposed to hazardous chemical compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylene which may affect the hematopoietic system and lead to decreased hemoglobin (Hb) levels. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is one of the preventive measures to minimize exposure to these hazardous substances. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and hemoglobin levels among female workers exposed to fuel at gas stations in Kendari City. This study employed a quantitative research design with a descriptive analytic approach using a cross-sectional method. The population in this study consisted of all female fuel filling operators working at gas stations in Kendari City, totaling 30 workers, who were all included as research samples. Data on PPE usage were obtained through observation and questionnaires, while hemoglobin levels were measured using a Hematology Analyzer with venous blood samples collected in EDTA tubes. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate statistical tests to determine the relationship between PPE usage and hemoglobin levels. The results showed that out of 30 respondents, 21 (70%) had normal hemoglobin levels and 9 (30%) had abnormal hemoglobin levels. A total of 20 respondents (66.7%) used PPE according to the required standards, while 10 respondents (33.3%) did not meet the PPE requirements. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.104 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no significant relationship between PPE usage and hemoglobin levels among female gas station workers in Kendari City. The study concludes that the use of PPE does not have a significant relationship with hemoglobin levels among female gas station workers in Kendari City. However, the consistent use of PPE is still recommended as a preventive measure to protect workers from exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

Excessive smartphone use among adolescents, especially students, can develop into smartphone addiction and potentially disrupt learning concentration. At SMP Negeri 11 Jambi City, most students use smartphones for long periods for entertainment and social media until late at night, which leads to drowsiness and reduced focus during lessons. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 11 Jambi City, totaling 352 students, with a sample of 175 respondents selected through stratified proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using the Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version (SAS-SV) questionnaire and a learning concentration questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods with Kendall’s tau-b test. The results showed that 84% of respondents experienced smartphone addiction, while 61.7% had a good level of learning concentration. Kendall’s tau-b test indicated a significant relationship between smartphone addiction and learning concentration (p-value = 0.000; r = 0.243), showing a weak association. Higher levels of smartphone addiction were linked to decreased learning concentration. Therefore, active involvement from schools and parents is needed to guide adolescents in managing stress and boredom positively.

Indonesia ranks second in the world and Bandar Lampung City is the region with the highest TB incidence in Lampung Province with a treatment success rate that is still below the national target. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of pulmonary TB in the Kedaton Community Health Center Working Area of ​​Bandar Lampung City using a quantitative analytical study with a case-control design. The study sample consisted of 40 cases (smear-positive pulmonary TB patients) and 40 controls (closest neighbors without TB) taken using a consecutive sampling technique, where data were collected through interviews, observations, and measurements using questionnaires and physical measuring instruments at home. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that employment status (p = 0.024) and bedroom ventilation (p = 0.040) had a significant relationship with the incidence of pulmonary TB, while the results of the multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression showed that gender (p = 0.015) and bedroom ventilation (p = 0.009) were significantly related variables. The conclusion of this study determined that bedroom ventilation was the most dominant variable associated with pulmonary TB incidence, with inadequate ventilation having a 3.91-fold increased risk (OR=3.91; 95%CI=1.41-10.94) compared to adequate ventilation after controlling for gender.

The phenomenon of homeless individuals and beggars (gepeng) in Jambi City remains a significant and ongoing social issue, indicating that efforts to address poverty and urban social vulnerability have not yet been fully effective. Although the local government, through the Jambi City Social Affairs Office, has implemented a Social Rehabilitation Program aimed at restoring beneficiaries’ social functioning through outreach, social assessment, social guidance, skills training, and family reunification, the presence of gepeng in public spaces continues to fluctuate from 2022 to 2024. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the program’s implementation, particularly the social guidance component, using a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation review, and analyzed using George C. Edward III’s policy implementation theory, which emphasizes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings show that the program has been carried out procedurally and humanely; however, its effectiveness remains limited due to insufficient numbers of social workers, weak and unsustained economic empowerment support, and inadequate post-rehabilitation monitoring. As a result, some beneficiaries return to the streets after completing the program. Therefore, strengthening inter-agency communication, increasing resource capacity, integrating sustainable economic empowerment initiatives, and improving consistent monitoring systems are essential steps to achieve long-term and more sustainable reductions in homelessness in Jambi.

This study was motivated by the importance of emotional management skills in late adolescence, so that they are prepared to face the transition to adulthood, as well as the role of parenting styles in helping to develop these skills. The city of Jambi shows variations in the application of democratic parenting styles, which have an impact on the emotional management of adolescents. This study aims to determine how democratic parenting styles affect the level of emotional intelligence in adolescents who are approaching adulthood in the city of Jambi. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The respondents are adolescents who have graduated from high school, aged between 18 and 21 years, and live in the city of Jambi. Democratic parenting and emotional intelligence were collected through questionnaires, then analyzed statistically to determine the relationship between variables. The study shows that the way parents treat their children with freedom and mutual respect has a positive correlation with the children's ability to manage their feelings at present. The higher the application of democratic parenting, which is characterized by warmth, open communication, responsible freedom, and consistent discipline, the higher the level of emotional.

The rapid advancement of digital technology demands a transformation in public communication to effectively engage Generation Z as digital natives. Through the Instagram account @swargaloka.sby, the Surabaya City Population and Civil Registration Department aims to drive e-KTP (electronic ID card) registration. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines digital communication strategies based on the framework of Chaniago and Majid (2024), which encompasses five key aspects: creativity, visual quality, audience alignment, posting consistency, and responsiveness. The analysis reveals that while appealing visuals and communicative language have successfully built audience engagement, actual participation in e-KTP registration remains suboptimal. This is attributed to a relevance gap between population administration issues and the daily lives of young people. The effectiveness of digital communication in driving tangible action depends on the account managers' ability to deliver more persuasive and personally relevant messaging to ensure a sustainable increase in administrative awareness in the digital era.

Slums are an urban issue that arises due to rapid population growth and the limited capacity of local governments to provide adequate housing and basic infrastructure. This leads to areas with low environmental quality, limited access, poor drainage, and high socio-economic vulnerability. A similar phenomenon occurs in Jambi City, which requires a sustainable handling strategy. This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by the Department of Public Housing and Settlement Areas of Jambi City in addressing slums and assess their contribution to environmental quality. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to understand the policies, program implementation mechanisms, and institutional challenges. Data was collected through interviews with government officials, field observations, and analysis of planning documents. The results indicate that the strategy focuses on improving basic infrastructure, such as road construction, drainage rehabilitation, and the provision of settlement facilities. This program enhances environmental quality and accessibility but faces challenges such as budget limitations, suboptimal inter-agency coordination, and the socio-economic conditions of the community. Addressing slums requires a more comprehensive approach, including collaborative governance, increased community participation, and adaptive policies to ensure sustainable improvements.

The development of digital technology and the widespread use of social media, particularly Instagram and TikTok, have opened opportunities for online interaction but also increased the risk of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is aggressive behavior via digital media intended to harm or degrade others. One psychological factor believed to influence this behavior is emotional regulation, which is the ability to manage and express emotions appropriately in different situations. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional regulation and cyberbullying behavior among early adult students in Jambi. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was used, involving 127 students aged 18–25 years, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an online questionnaire, which included an emotional regulation scale and a cyberbullying behavior scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with SPSS software. The results showed a significant negative relationship between emotional regulation and cyberbullying behavior, with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.632 and a significance level of p < 0.001. This indicates that students with better emotional regulation skills are less likely to engage in cyberbullying. Thus, enhancing emotional regulation skills could be an effective strategy in preventing cyberbullying among students.
