Teenage pregnancy remains a reproductive health issue in Indonesia, including in Batam City. According to data from the Batam City Health Office in 2024, there were 18 cases of teenage pregnancy (0.06%) with the Lubuk Baja Health Center being one of the highest areas. Pregnant teenagers are at high risk of complications such as anemia, malnutrition, and low birth weight (LBW), which contribute to high rates of maternal and infant morbidity. This study used a descriptive method with a case study approach on Ny. S, an 18-year-old teenager with a pregnancy in the Lubuk Baja Health Center area of Batam City in 2025. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and SOAP documentation following the 7-step Varney obstetric management. The findings revealed that Ny. S experienced mild complaints such as nausea, reduced appetite, and anxiety about her pregnancy. After three visits, the mother's complaints decreased, appetite improved, anxiety decreased, and nutritional status was within normal limits. Comprehensive midwifery care with a biopsychosocial approach was proven effective in improving both the physical and mental health of pregnant teenagers and preventing pregnancy complications.

This study evaluates the implementation of spot-check testing for road preservation works in Manado City, specifically on the Kairagi–Mapanget segment, the Manado City–Wori boundary, and the Liwas Terminal Access Road, to identify existing problems and assess the effectiveness of engineering-based mitigation efforts. The objective is to examine construction quality compliance with technical specifications and identify operational challenges encountered on site. The methodology encompasses the measurement of asphalt layer thickness and density via a core drill, the examination of contract documents, the analysis of laboratory test results, and the execution of field observations. The findings show that most samples meet the required standards, although several locations require corrective action. Challenges arise from weather conditions, heavy traffic, equipment limitations, and the need for adaptation to updated technical regulations. Operational mitigation strategies, staff training, the use of core drill technology, and digital documentation were found to enhance accuracy and efficiency in evaluation. The research demonstrates the value of stakeholder collaboration and capacity building in supporting quality control for road preservation works. A multidimensional approach is effective in resolving technical and operational complexities in urban road projects.

Child violence cases in Jayapura City demonstrate a distinctive pattern of legal settlement characterised by the strong coexistence of customary law and the formal juvenile criminal justice system. While national legislation mandates diversion and restorative justice as primary mechanisms in handling children in conflict with the law, empirical findings reveal that most cases are resolved through indigenous customary forums known as para-para adat. This study aims to analyse the forms of settlement applied to child violence cases and to identify the constraints encountered in implementing both customary mechanisms and the formal juvenile justice system. The research employs a normative-empirical approach by combining statutory analysis with field data obtained from law enforcement institutions, legal aid organisations, and community respondents. The findings indicate that approximately ninety percent of cases between 2019 and 2024 were settled through customary mechanisms involving collective responsibility and the payment of customary fines as symbolic and material restoration. Diversion mechanisms under the formal system were rarely implemented. Although customary settlement is perceived as flexible, culturally legitimate, and socially restorative, several obstacles persist, including disagreement over compensation, inability to fulfil customary obligations, and limited awareness of restorative justice procedures. The study highlights the need to harmonise legal pluralism within child protection policies to ensure that customary practices align with the best interests of the child and national legal standards.

Community service is one of the pillars of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education aimed at implementing academic knowledge in real community life.

Advances in information technology have changed the way humans obtain and manage information, including in the world of education. School websites have become an important medium for conveying academic, administrative, and school activity information quickly and efficiently. However, not all educational institutions are able to optimize the functions of their websites. This study was conducted to determine user satisfaction with the website of SMP Negeri 5 Kota Jambi using the Webqual 4.0 model and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The research method used was a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection through the distribution of questionnaires to 291 respondents from a total population of 1,065 students. The analysis was conducted by measuring the three main dimensions of Webqual 4.0, namely usability quality, information quality, and service interaction quality, then using IPA to map service improvement priorities. The results showed that most users were satisfied with the quality of the website, particularly in  terms of ease of use and service interaction. However, the timeliness of information updates and the responsiveness of the display on mobile devices still needed improvement. Recommendations for improvement focused on the dimensions in the "Concentrate Here" quadrant of the IPA analysis.

Semarang City is an urban area with a high vulnerability to flooding. Based on data from the Semarang City Regional Disaster Management Agency, in 2022 there were 133 flood events with extreme rainfall reaching 200 mm per day. Kota Lama Semarang is a historical tourist destination with high heritage value, but this area often faces flooding challenges, especially around the Tawang Polder Area with inundation reaching 30-100 cm. This condition is triggered by an existing drainage system that is not optimal due to limited channel capacity and blockages caused by sedimentation. The purpose of this study is to develop the SEMAR-SUDs smart drainage system innovation. The writing method was carried out through literature studies, hydrometeorological data reviews, and descriptive-quantitative analyses, which formed the basis for the design and implementation of the innovation. SEMAR-SUDs (Semarang-Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) concept is an integrative solution that combines three main elements Debris Separate Baffle Boxes (DSBB) as a technology for separating waste and sediment, ArborFlow technology based on ecodrainage that optimizes rainwater retention and distribution and Self Closing Flood Barriers that work automatically to protect critical areas. The implementation of SEMAR-SUDs can be a solution model in increasing flood disaster resilience in the city of Semarang while supporting the realization of SDGs 9 (sustainable infrastructure development), SDGs 11 (resilient and sustainable cities), and SDGs 13 (climate action). The SEMAR-SUDs innovation is highly suitable for implementation in Semarang City to mitigate flooding and realize a smart, adaptive, and sustainable drainage system infrastructure.

The factors influencing lowland rice production in Padang City are the focus of this study. The study was conducted through a field survey of lowland rice farmers to obtain primary data relevant to farming activities. The analysis method used was multiple linear regression with the dependent variable being lowland rice production (Y) and independent variables including land area (X₁), seeds (X₂), fertilizer (X₃), labor (X₄), and farming experience (X₅). The research findings show that simultaneously all production factors, including land area, seeds, fertilizer, labor, and farming experience, have a significant effect on lowland rice production in Padang City. Partially, the variables of fertilizer and labor have a significant effect on lowland rice production, while land area, seeds, and farming experience have no significant effect. These findings indicate that the increase in lowland rice production in Padang City is more determined by input intensification efforts, particularly through appropriate fertilization and labor availability, compared to land expansion. As a result, agricultural policies need to be directed at increasing input efficiency to support the productivity and sustainability of rice farming.

This study examines the influence of work experience, knowledge, education, and leadership policies on the implementation of PSAK 109 for Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah accounting at Zakat Management Bodies in Pontianak City and Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. Although PSAK 109 is essential for ensuring transparency and accountability in zakat fund management, its implementation remains suboptimal in practice. A quantitative survey was conducted by distributing questionnaires to zakat officers (amil) at BAZNAS and Zakat Collection Units. Using purposive sampling, the data were analyzed through validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that work experience, knowledge, and leadership policies significantly and positively affect PSAK 109 implementation, while education does not show a significant effect. Collectively, all variables have a significant influence. The study concludes that practical competence, technical understanding, and supportive internal policies are more crucial than formal education. Strengthening training and leadership policies is recommended to enhance accountability and transparency.

Dynamics of social interaction within the alleyways of urban neighborhoods, which serve as unique social spaces amid the ongoing processes of modernization. Conducted in the alleyways of Makassar City, this research employs an ethnographic approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and field note documentation. The findings reveal that alleyways function not only as physical pathways but also as vibrant social arenas where communal activities—such as neighborhood gatherings, mutual aid, and small-scale household economies—take place. Modernization introduces significant changes to these patterns of interaction. On one hand, infrastructural development, technological penetration, and increased mobility foster new forms of interaction that are more practical and individualistic. On the other hand, core values of solidarity, including mutual support and close neighborly relations, continue to persist through community-based initiatives, local empowerment programs, and informal shared activities. The study concludes that alleyways represent hybrid social spaces where tradition and modernity intersect, demonstrating residents’ efforts to maintain social cohesion despite the pressures of social change. These findings are expected to contribute to policy development and inform local authorities in designing culturally sensitive alleyway development programs.

The problem of household organic waste remains a major challenge in urban areas, including in the North Rejowinangun Village of Magelang City. High population density and limited land use cause the volume of organic waste to continue to increase and impact the condition of the Final Disposal Site (TPA) which is experiencing overcapacity. This community service activity aims to provide a community-based organic waste management solution through the cultivation of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots as a method of organic waste bioconversion. The implementation method is carried out in a participatory manner through the stages of preparation and problem identification, implementation of activities in the form of education and direct practice of BSF maggot cultivation, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The results of the activity show that BSF maggots are able to decompose household organic waste effectively, as indicated by a reduction in waste volume in a relatively short time and a decrease in potential odor. BSF larvae show stable growth with a high level of waste consumption, especially in media with good humidity and management. In addition to the environmental impact, this activity also increases public knowledge and awareness about the importance of organic waste management and opens up opportunities for the development of maggot cultivation as a productive activity with economic value. Thus, BSF maggot cultivation can be an alternative solution for sustainable organic waste management that is easy to implement in the community.

This research aims to: 1) examine the development of the Human Development Index (HDI), Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), population size, economic growth, and the poverty gap index in the regencies/cities of Jambi Province from 2020 to 2024; and 2) analyze the influence of the Human Development Index, Labor Force Participation Rate, population size, and economic growth on the poverty gap index in the regencies/cities of Jambi Province. The research method employed is descriptive quantitative. The analytical tool used is Panel Data Regression through the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach, processed with EViews 12 software. The results show that the Human Development Index, population size, and economic growth have a significant influence on the poverty gap index in the regencies/cities of Jambi Province during the 2020-2024 period. Conversely, the LFPR does not have a significant effect on the poverty gap index in the region during the same period. These findings imply the importance of strengthening human resource quality through HDI improvement and more inclusive economic growth policies in Jambi Province. Furthermore, the government needs to evaluate the quality of available employment, as the high Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) has not yet been able to significantly reduce the depth of poverty.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the curriculum in mathematics learning at Al Ihsan Yapis Kotaraja Elementary School in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum. The focus of the study includes learning planning, learning implementation, the use of media and learning resources, the role of teachers and schools, and learning evaluation. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The results show that the implementation of the curriculum in mathematics learning has been quite effective. Teachers apply student-centered learning through differentiated learning and various learning strategies, such as lectures, discussions, and deep learning approaches. The most widely used media and learning resources are printed books and the internet. Teachers and schools play an important role in creating active learning and supporting the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. However, learning evaluation is still dominated by written tests, so it does not fully reflect authentic assessment in accordance with learning objectives. Therefore, improvements are needed in the application of authentic assessment and the integration of learning objectives, learning strategies, and assessment techniques so that curriculum implementation can run more optimally.

This study aims to assess the quality of patient care at the Emergency Unit of Sentani City Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency, by examining the experiences and perceptions of patients, their families, and healthcare workers regarding the service. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Informants were selected using purposive sampling involving ER patients, their families, and healthcare workers involved in the ER service process at Sentani Community Health Center. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation studies. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research analysis refers to seven dimensions of service quality, namely direct evidence (tangibles), reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, service accessibility, and service systems and flows. The results of the study showed that service quality at the Sentani Community Health Center ER was in the fairly good category, especially the dimensions of empathy, reliability, and responsiveness of healthcare workers. Healthcare workers were friendly, responsive, and provided fair services without discriminating against patient backgrounds. However, a number of obstacles are still found that affect the optimization of services, including limited facilities and infrastructure, the number of health workers that is not commensurate with the service load, patient waiting times in certain conditions, the operating hours of the Emergency Room that are not yet 24 hours, and the low understanding of some patients regarding the applicable service system and flow.

Community service with the theme of Socialization and Education of Legal Products for MSME and Creative Economy Actors in Temberan Village, Pangkalpinang City, is based on field conditions, where many MSME actors in the region do not have legal legality for the businesses they run and lack basic knowledge regarding product packaging and brand creation that have high marketability. As a result, their businesses are not developing to strengthen the creative economy and enhance the capacity of actors. The model used in this program is a direct dialogue method with the MSME actors. The discussion results showed that of the 26 participants, only 1 MSME actor had received guidance and had an NIB (Business Identification Number), but lacked a halal certificate and patent rights for their product brands. The other 25 participants were briefed for the first time regarding the importance of legal legitimacy for their business. Therefore, it can be concluded that these 25 MSME actors do not have legal legitimacy for their businesses. The team provided assistance to help register their businesses by collaborating with relevant agencies. Regarding product branding, it was found that all participants had not optimized their product branding, as most MSME actors in Temberan Village packaged their products simply without attractive branding, packaging, colors, or packaging materials. Many even used plastic wrapping without a brand. The team intervened intensively by providing further assistance to MSME actors in Temberan Village, utilizing information and communication technology to help determine product brands for those without one and to select packaging materials that follow current trends, shapes, colors, and materials to make the product more attractive and increase branding and consumer interest.
