The process of  receiving raw materials is the initial activity of a production process, the quality of raw materials can affect the quality of the final product, quality control must be carried out so that the raw materials to be used comply with industry specifications to produce quality products. For example, the raw material for frozen fish at PT Sarana Tani Pratama Jembrana, Bali, whether local frozen fish or imported frozen fish, is thawed using the water immersion method. The difference in the Thawing process or melting process between local frozen fish and imported frozen fish is the thawing time, where local frozen fish takes ±2 hours for the Thawing process while imported frozen fish only takes ±30 minutes for the melting process. The difference in thawing time is caused by local frozen fish being sent by the supplier frozen per block, which consists of several fish in one block. Meanwhile, imported frozen fish is sent by the supplier frozen per fish.This research aims to determine the Application of Management Functions in the Process of receiving raw materials at PT.Sarana Tani Pratama Jembrana-Bali. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data with data collection techniques including observation, interviews and literature study. The data analysis used is descriptive/qualitative data analysis.

Village Information System is an innovative solution to optimize village data management and accelerate access to information for the community. Population administration is an important aspect in the implementation of village government which functions to record and manage population data systematically. Koting C Village Office has implemented a computer-based population administration information system to improve the efficiency and accuracy of services. This system aims to accelerate the administration process, reduce recording errors, and facilitate access to population information. However, in its implementation there are still several obstacles that need to be fixed so that the system can run more optimally. This study was conducted in the context of Community Service (PKM) to analyze the implementation of the population administration information system at the Koting C Village Office, identify the obstacles faced, and find solutions to increase the effectiveness of this system. The methods used in this study include direct observation, interviews with village officials, and analysis of the population administration service process. The results of the study indicate that although the population administration information system has been implemented, there are still several obstacles that hinder its effectiveness. One of the main obstacles is the absence of a search feature based on name, Population Identification Number (NIK), or other keywords, so that village officials have to search for data manually, which slows down the service process.

Nutritional problems such as obesity warrant serious attention, due to their potential to contribute to various other health complications. One modifiable factor associated with obesity that can be targeted through intervention is dietary pattern, including adoption of vegetarian diet. Several previous studies have suggested that vegetarian diets may be effective in promoting weight loss. This study aims to examine the potential role of vegetarian diets in the management of obesity. The method employed in a literature review of relevant studies published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that vegetarian diets are effective in reducing body weight, insulin resistance, blood glucose levels, trimethylamin N-oxide (TMAO), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol levels. Additionally, they are associated with increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and improvements in lipid profiles, as well as kidney and liver function. Nevertheless, the implementation of vegetarian diets among individuals with obesity should be carefully supervised and planned by qualified professionals to minimize the risk of nutritional deficiencies.

The Archives and Library Office of West Sumatra Province is a government institution that serves as a center for archive management and public literacy services. This building is visited by various groups, including agency staff, students, university students, and the general public. However, based on preliminary observations, several issues were identified regarding the existing signage system in the building, which was found to be inadequate, lacking in informativeness, and in many cases, unfit for use—making it difficult for visitors to navigate the space. This study aims to design a more effective and communicative signage system using a visual communication design approach. Data collection methods included direct observation and SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the current signage conditions. The design process employed the Design Thinking method, consisting of five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. The outcome of this process includes five primary media: pictograms, floor plan boards, ground floor information boards, directional signs, and room information signs. Additionally, five supporting media were designed: staff ID cards, lanyards, library membership cards, folder maps, and bookmarks. The developed designs were evaluated through validation and feasibility testing involving two design experts and three visitors as respondents. Based on the assessment results, the design was rated as excellent, with an average score of 4.95 from the experts, and all general respondents gave positive feedback regarding the visual aspects, legibility, and informational function of the designed signage system.

Abstract. Amino acids are indispensable components of human metabolism, playing essential roles in proteinsynthesis, energy production, and cellular regulation. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)-leucine, isoleucine,and valine—are particularly significant due to their involvement in muscle repair, metabolic signaling, andinsulin sensitivity. While BCAAs are vital under normal physiological conditions, multiple studies have shownthat elevated plasma BCAA levels are linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. This associationhas led researchers to investigate whether these elevations are a cause or consequence of metabolicdysfunction. Recent findings have revealed that impaired BCAA catabolism in tissues such as adipose and livercontributes to their accumulation in circulation. If skeletal muscle becomes insulin resistant, it may shift BCAAmetabolism further, exacerbating the imbalance. Moreover, the modulation of specific enzymes and transportershas been proposed as a therapeutic avenue to mimic the beneficial effects of dietary protein restriction.Although several mechanisms have been proposed, including mTOR activation, fatty acid oxidationinterference, and altered neurotransmitter synthesis, no single pathway fully explains BCAA-induced metabolicdisturbances. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of amino acid metabolism is crucial, particularly ifdietary and pharmacological interventions are to be optimized for preventing or treating age-related andmetabolic diseases.

Office management is a key component in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of administrative services in both public and educational institutions. The increasing demands for service speed, accuracy, transparency, and professionalism necessitate an integrated and adaptive office management system. This study aims to explore how office management contributes to enhancing administrative service quality through a library research approach. Data were obtained from academic journals, theses, institutional reports, and theoretical literature. The analysis reveals that effective office management encompasses structured planning, proper document management, digital information systems, and staff competency development, all of which contribute significantly to improved service quality. Moreover, standard operating procedures and the integration of manual and digital systems enhance consistency and service reliability. The study supports the theoretical proposition that office management functions planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling are directly correlated with administrative performance indicators. Practical implications include the urgency of digitizing records, implementing standardized workflows, and continuously training administrative personnel. Limitations of this research lie in its purely conceptual and literature-based nature, thus future studies are recommended to adopt empirical or mixed methods approaches for broader generalizability. These findings reaffirm the importance of repositioning office management from a support function to a strategic pillar in administrative service improvement efforts.

Post-operative pain after upper extremity ORIF is complex, involving tissue damage, inflammation and nociceptive mechanisms that require a comprehensive pharmacological approach.

Results: Based on the results of observations, it was found that the pattern of use of pharmacological pain management in patients after upper extremity ORIF surgery with general anaesthesia at Pandan Arang Boyolali Hospital was the administration of 100 mcg fentanyl and 4 mg ondansentrone dripped in 500 ml Tutofusin infusion for surgery with a duration of > 1 hour and a large incision area.

This article examines the shift in local government authority over mineral and coal mining management following the enactment of Law Number 23 of 2014 on Regional Government. The transfer of authority from regency/city governments to provincial and central governments has created normative disharmony between the Regional Government Law and the Mining Law, resulting in legal uncertainty at the implementation level. Using a normative juridical approach and Hans Kelsen’s theory of the hierarchy of norms, this article analyzes the legal validity of the transfer and identifies structural conflicts within the legal system. The findings indicate that the current regulation lacks both hierarchical consistency and functional clarity. Therefore, a reconstruction of the legal framework for mining governance is required to balance the principle of legality with the concept of regional autonomy. A model of limited delegation, sectoral regulatory harmonization, and the application of multilevel governance are proposed as key recommendations to ensure a fair, effective, and constitutional relationship between central and local governments.

Surabaya known as the City of Heroes, has various historical buildings scattered in strategic areas, one of which is in Kota Lama Surabaya. The existence of these buildings has been designated as cultural heritage that must be preserved in order to maintain the historical value and identity of the city. However, the implementation of preservation still encounters various obstacles, especially in technical and administrative aspects, as well as the lack of public understanding of the importance of preservation. This research aims to describe the implementation of Surabaya City Regional Regulation Number 1 Year 2024 on the Preservation and Management of Cultural Heritage, with a focus on De Javasche Bank Museum as the object of research. Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, field observations, documentation, and review of policy documents. The implementation theory of Ripley and Franklin was used as an analytical knife that includes three indicators, namely the level of compliance with regulations, the smooth routine of functions and coordination between implementers, and the realization of the desired performance and impact. The results show that the implementation of the local regulation has shown progress at the institutional level through coordination across Regional Apparatus Organizations and the implementation of SOPs by museum managers. However, there are still obstacles such as the lack of optimal human resources experts, weak administrative coordination, and the absence of a special management institution. Positive impacts such as increased visitation and community involvement are starting to be seen, but the overall effectiveness of implementation still requires strengthening in various sectors to ensure the sustainability of inclusive preservation.

The rapid digital transformation in Indonesia has intensified the need for robust personal data protection, particularly through the mechanism of the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) as stipulated in Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). This study employs a normative juridical and qualitative approach to examine the role of DPIA as a key instrument in identifying, evaluating, and mitigating privacy risks in high-risk personal data processing activities.

Normative recommendations are formulated to reinforce DPIA as a risk management tool and a safeguard for privacy rights, aiming to foster a secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem amid ongoing digital transformation.

The State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) is a fundamental fiscal policy instrument for realizing national development and public welfare. This study aims to analyze the correlation between APBN management and Indonesia’s economic growth, focusing on the effectiveness of government spending and oversight of budget misappropriations. Based on the 2023 audit report by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), financial losses due to APBN mismanagement reached IDR 8.2 trillion, highlighting the weakness in financial oversight and transparency. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the significance of budget efficiency and the implementation of APBN’s fiscal functions in supporting macroeconomic stability. The findings suggest that government spending significantly influences economic growth, yet its effectiveness is heavily dependent on robust monitoring systems and sound fiscal strategies. Therefore, strengthening fiscal transparency and supervision is crucial to prevent state losses and promote equitable development.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of local revenue realization, particularly Regional Original Revenue (PAD), in supporting regional development programs. PAD serves as a vital indicator of fiscal independence and a primary funding source for sustainable development efforts. However, many regions still face significant challenges in optimizing PAD potential. Gaps between revenue targets and actual realization, weak retribution management, low taxpayer compliance, and poor inter-agency data integration are major obstacles to effectiveness. This study utilizes a descriptive method rooted in qualitative analysis by examining existing literature and secondary data analysis from credible sources. The findings indicate that PAD effectiveness strongly influences a region's fiscal capacity to implement development functions, especially in public service and infrastructure sectors. Therefore, policy reform, strengthening of revenue collection systems, and improvement of human resource capacity are critical strategies to achieve fiscal autonomy and sustainable regional development. The integration of religious values into strategies for optimizing local revenue (PAD) can also enhance tax awareness through spiritual and social approaches, strengthen public trust in the government, and foster development that is not only materially oriented but also grounded in ethics and social justice.

It is very important for the principal to overcome teacher indiscipline by implementing effective management. This will be the basis for achieving educational goals. This field research is a form of qualitative descriptive taking the object of the principal's managerial competence in improving teacher discipline, located at SMK Al Ghozaly Wonosobo, conducted in March 2025 - June 2025 in semester 2 (two) of the 2024/2025 academic year. The subjects of the study included the principal, the curriculum vice principal, and several educators and education personnel. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation to then be analyzed descriptively. The results of the research show that the principal of SMK Al Ghozaly Wonosobo has implemented the five main functions of management, careful planning, effective organizing, clear notification, motivating direction, and comprehensive supervision. The principal's technical, human, and conceptual expertise play an important role in supporting the improvement of teacher discipline. The implementation of punishment is more prominent and felt directly compared to rewards, the effectiveness of punishment in encouraging minimal discipline, but not yet optimal for long-term behavioral changes, the relationship between leadership communication and clarity of reward-punishment criteria affects teacher acceptance. This finding leads to the direction of future research to examine more broadly the dominant and effective punishment system to encourage minimal teacher discipline through direct sanctions for the sake of more specific precision of findings.
