This study aims to examine the potential and challenges of utilizing Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Medan City, which is geographically located near the equator and receives high exposure to sunlight throughout the year. The method used is a literature review with a narrative review approach that analyzes secondary data from various journals and relevant scientific articles. The results of the study show that Medan City has an average annual horizontal global solar radiation intensity of 463.61 W/m², with the potential for electrical power that can be generated from rooftop solar panels reaching 748.57 MW (monocrystalline), 598.85 MW (polycrystalline), and 299.43 MW (thin film). This potential is comparable to the capacity of large-scale power plants. The use of PLTS contributes to reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy security, creating jobs, and developing the local economy. However, challenges such as high installation costs, limited suitability of roof structures, and low public awareness are still major obstacles in the implementation of this technology. Therefore, synergy is needed between government policies, public education, and technological innovation to optimize the use of solar energy in urban areas such as Medan.

Stunting is a type of long-term childhood malnutrition that is closely linked to socioeconomic conditions and poverty. The purpose of this study is to look at strategies to reduce stunting in Indonesia using a political economy approach. To achieve this goal, a literature review method was used. The results show that there are many factors that influence stunting, including health issues and inequalities in power distribution, resource allocation and social structure. Through specific interventions (such as the First 1000 Days of Life program) and sensitive interventions (such as the provision of clean water, sanitation, education, and social protection), poverty alleviation policies are essential to reduce the prevalence of stunting. However, decentralization, poor coordination between sectors, and lack of public awareness often hinder policy implementation. To tackle stunting sustainably, the political economy approach emphasizes the need for clear political alignment, strengthened institutional capacity, and cross-sectoral integration. Stunting is a type of long-term childhood malnutrition that is closely linked to socioeconomic conditions and poverty. The purpose of this study is to look at strategies to reduce stunting in Indonesia using a political economy approach.

This study aims to describe and analyze the strategies implemented by the Environmental Agency (DLH) of Karimun Regency in managing waste and to evaluate the effectiveness of these implementations in the field. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews. Findings reveal that DLH Karimun has developed and executed key strategies, including the formulation of the Regional Waste Management Master Plan (RIPSD), optimization of Temporary Waste Disposal Sites (TPS) with 3R principles, active collaboration with waste banks and community groups, and community-based education and socialization efforts. However, operational challenges persist, particularly in waste transportation fleet distribution, handling of the Sememal Final Disposal Site (TPA), and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms that remain suboptimal. Additional challenges include limited human resources and funding, low public awareness, and regulatory conflicts impacting strategic decision-making. Nevertheless, the strategies implemented have contributed to improvements in environmental cleanliness across several sub-districts and increased volumes of processed waste through recycling initiatives. Community involvement through schools, youth organizations, family welfare groups, mutual cooperation activities, and waste banks proved critical to success. The study recommends the adoption of digital-based waste management systems (smart waste management), capacity building for DLH personnel, community empowerment, and revision of local regulations to support sustainable waste management. This will enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of DLH Karimun’s waste management strategies moving forward. The findings provide valuable insights for policy formulation and practical implementation in similar regional contexts.  

This study aims to analyze the role and function of stamp duty in agreements in Indonesia.

In this study, qualitative methods were used to collect data through literature studies. The results of the study indicate that stamp duty not only functions as a source of state revenue, but also provides legal certainty for the parties involved in the agreement. In addition, this study identifies the challenges faced in the implementation of stamp duty, including low public understanding and potential legal disputes. This study is expected to contribute to the development of policies related to stamp duty and increase public awareness of the importance of legal aspects in agreements.-

This study aims to analyze the impact of deepfake content on the level of public trust in visual information on social media. Using a between-subjects experimental design, the study involved 20 active social media user respondents in Indonesia (aged 18-45 years) who were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (exposed to deepfake content) and a control group (exposed to original content). Data were collected through a questionnaire measuring three dimensions of trust: (1) perceived authenticity of the content, (2) source credibility, and (3) emotional impact. The t-test results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the two groups, with the deepfake group having lower trust scores on all dimensions (mean score: 2.4 vs. 4.2 for content authenticity; 2.8 vs. 4.4 for source credibility; 2.7 vs. 4.0 for emotional impact). Regression analysis revealed that education level (β = 0.35) and frequency of social media use (β = -0.27) significantly affected the level of trust. Pearson correlation findings also showed a strong positive relationship between perceived authenticity of content and trust levels (r = 0.72, p < 0.001). This study concludes that exposure to deepfake content significantly reduces public trust in visual information, with the effect compounded by intensive social media use and moderated by education level. The implication is that evidence-based media literacy strategies are needed to raise public awareness about deepfake technology, as well as stricter regulation of synthetic content on digital platforms.

The results of the analysis indicate that depression in children is a real clinical condition but is often undiagnosed due to differences in symptoms compared to adults and lack of public awareness. The main risk factors include childhood trauma, genetics, and dysfunctional family dynamics. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family therapy, and psychosocial interventions have shown effectiveness in reducing symptoms. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention as a preventive measure to minimize the long-term impact on children's mental health.

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes) or hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the blood which results in impaired oxygen transport to body tissues. Mild anemia is more common and is asymptomatic and does not require treatment. Anemia can have a negative impact on endurance, productivity, and is high risk during pregnancy because it can affect fetal growth and development, increase the risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications, and even maternal and child death. The Community Service (PKM) activity carried out at the Asisi Church, Tebet District aims to increase public awareness of the importance of early detection of anemia through hemoglobin and hematocrit screening activities. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach which includes capillary blood tests with Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tools and education about symptoms, risk factors, and prevention of anemia. Of the 68 participants involved, 40 people (58.82%) were identified as having anemia, while 28 people (41.18%) had normal hemoglobin levels. These results emphasize the importance of early anemia screening to prevent long-term complications and build public awareness of the importance of maintaining optimal hemoglobin levels to support ongoing health and quality of life.   Keywords: Anemia, Early Detection, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Screening

Domestic homicide cases, especially those resulting from Domestic Violence (DV), are a phenomenon that has a wide impact, both on the surrounding environment and on the fulfillment of victims' rights. This study aims to analyze how the community responds to domestic violence murder cases and to identify victims' rights that are not fulfilled based on applicable legal regulations. Using empirical legal research methods, this study collected data through interviews with the Head of RT Jokolukito and reviewed relevant regulations. The results of the study indicate that the surrounding environment tends to be less concerned about domestic violence cases until they reach a fatal stage, which can be explained through Strain Theory and Cycle of Violence. In addition, it was found that victims did not receive optimal legal protection before the incident, and their rights after the incident were not fulfilled in accordance with the Domestic Violence Law and the Witness and Victim Protection Law. Therefore, this study recommends increasing public awareness, facilitating access to legal assistance for victims, and implementing a more effective restitution mechanism to ensure justice for victims and their families.

Bullying is an act of physical or psychological violence that can have long-term effects on its victims. In the context of legal protection, Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection serves as the legal foundation for protecting children from all forms of violence, including bullying. This legal protection includes both preventive and repressive measures against perpetrators, as well as the provision of facilities for the recovery of victims.Moreover, social factors such as cultural norms, family environment, and peer interactions often exacerbate the impact of bullying. Stigma and discrimination against victims, which frequently arise due to a lack of public awareness, can worsen their psychological condition and hinder the recovery process.This study aims to analyze the social and legal impacts of bullying on victims and highlight the importance of more effective legal protection in reducing the prevalence of bullying in society.
