The rapid growth of healthcare services has significantly increased the generation of medical waste, posing serious risks to environmental and public health, particularly through water quality contamination. This study examines global trends in medical waste management and proposes a hybrid analytical framework combining bibliometric analysis using SCIMAT and predictive modeling based on artificial neural networks implemented in Orange. Bibliometric mapping was employed to identify dominant research themes, temporal evolution, and knowledge gaps in medical waste and water contamination studies from 2000 to 2023. Subsequently, a neural network model was developed to predict potential water quality deterioration associated with mismanaged medical waste, using simulated environmental indicators. The results reveal a strong research focus on incineration, infection control, and hazardous waste, while predictive modeling of water contamination remains underexplored. The proposed hybrid approach demonstrates high predictive accuracy and offers a robust decision-support tool for environmental health policy. This study contributes methodologically and substantively to sustainable medical waste management and water resource protection.

In light of this, the present study examines restorative justice as a broad idea within the context of Indonesian environmental legislation. This paper also highlights issues and considers critically whether the normative juridical approach of restorative justice may be used to address environmental crimes.

. The evolution of regulations related to Rooftop Solar Power (PLTS) utilization in Indonesia reflects changes in the government's approach to solar energy usage. From the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 49 of 2018, which underwent several revisions, to the issuance of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 2 of 2024, there has been a significant transformation in policy orientation. While initially aimed at promoting the adoption of Rooftop Solar Power at the community level, the latest regulations emphasize more on governance and the overall development of the renewable energy industry. The removal of incentives, such as the electricity export-import mechanism and adjustments in carbon economy regulations, may have negative impacts on the economy and attractiveness of Rooftop Solar Power for the public. However, these adjustments also have the potential to create a more robust ecosystem for the overall growth of the renewable energy industry. As part of efforts towards achieving national renewable energy targets, these regulatory adjustments are expected to encourage innovation in more environmentally friendly energy technologies and increase public participation in the transition towards more sustainable energy sources.

The issue of plastic bags continues to be a significant topic globally in waste management. Their relatively low cost, ease of use, and accessibility have made plastic bags an integral part of human life. With increasing plastic bag usage, inevitably comes an increase in plastic waste. Moreover, the rapid usage cycle of plastic bags, as they are typically single-use items used only temporarily, exacerbates the problem. If plastic waste is not optimally managed, it will have negative environmental impacts. To address this, the retail company Alfamart has begun employing green marketing strategies to promote the "Plastic Bag Diet" by offering environmentally friendly shopping bag products (Eco Bags). This aims to raise awareness and concern among the public for environmental sustainability by reducing plastic bag usage during shopping. Apart from Alfamart, other competing retail companies have also adopted similar strategies and offer eco-friendly bag products. The intensifying competition among retail companies forces managers to reconsider their strategies to win market share. The issuance of the Bali Provincial Regulation on Limiting Single-Use Plastic Waste is based on Article 12 paragraph (3) and Article 13 paragraph (2) of Bali Provincial Regulation Number 5 Year 2011 concerning Waste Management. This reflects the negative impacts that can arise if waste is not properly managed. The enactment of local regulations prohibiting the use of single-use plastic indicates a legal policy direction towards environmental conservation. The research method used in this study is a juridical normative method with a literature review approach, focusing on legal norms including principles, norms, rules, regulations, agreements, and doctrines. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects of green marketing on attracting purchasing interest and persuading the public to make purchasing decisions on Eco Bag products at Alfamart as alternatives to plastic bags.
