Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Aceh Besar District. The success of hypertension control is strongly influenced by patients’ self-management abilities. Self-management can be affected by psychological factors such as self-efficacy, social factors such as family support, and sociodemographic factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy, family support, education, and occupation with self-management among hypertensive patients in the working area of the Ingin Jaya Community Health Center, Aceh Besar District. This study employed a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of hypertensive patients aged 15–59 years who visited or participated in the Posbindu program at the Ingin Jaya Health Center. A total of 90 respondents were selected using accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had good self-management (54.4%). Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between self-efficacy (p = 0.030) and family support (p = 0.000) with self-management, while education (p = 0.406) and occupation (p = 0.201) showed no significant relationship. This study concludes that self-efficacy and family support play an important role in hypertension self-management, whereas education and occupation are not significantly associated. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of nursing and public health science and serve as a basis for strengthening family-based health education and improving patients’ self-efficacy in optimizing independent hypertension management.

This research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the complex dynamics termed the "Digital Bureaucracy Paradox," a phenomenon that emerged significantly following the implementation of the Work From Anywhere (WFA) policy within the Regional Secretariat of Sorong City. The primary focus this study lies in the strategic dilemma faced by visionary leadership in balancing modern flexible work patterns with the obligation to enforce Civil Servant (ASN) discipline, which has historically been conventional and rigid. Amidst massive digital transformation, local-level bureaucracy is forced to adapt to work models requiring high agility, while simultaneously remaining bound by formalistic disciplinary regulatory standards. Quantitative findings indicate that although digital platforms have been effective as instruments for work instructions, the effectiveness visual supervision remains irreplaceable in maintaining the integrity of working hours, particularly regarding low scores in separating personal and professional matters during WFA. Conversely, submissions the E-Kinerja (E-Performance) system show very high level of administrative compliance, yet do not fully guarantee the quality of substantive outputs. Statistical analysis confirms that adaptive digital leadership has decisive influence on the successful implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). These findings offer  theoretical contribution to the study of bureaucratic behaviour within digital ecosystems and provide practical recommendations for redefining the ASN discipline from formalistic patterns toward a result-based substantive discipline. The synergy between visionary leadership and the strengthening of bottom-up accountability mechanisms through public participation is expected to realise a governance framework that is not only technologically modern but also functionally accountable in the post-pandemic era.

The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The results show that Capital Structure, Return on Assets, Total Asset Turnover, and Company Size influence Profit Growth.

The purpose of this research is to examine how guidance and counseling instructors may help children in junior high get over their anxiety about speaking out in class. Students' lack of confidence and engagement in class might be exacerbated by the widespread problem of their fear of asking questions. In order to delve further into the issue, this study used a descriptive technique based on qualitative research. Students and instructors of guidance and counseling participated in interviews and observations to compile the data. The results highlight the important role that counseling and guidance instructors play in assisting students in coping with anxiety. Counseling sessions with individuals, group guidance exercises, and making an attempt to establish a welcoming classroom setting all contribute to this goal. Teachers also use excellent communication tactics and motivating initiatives to help pupils feel more comfortable expressing themselves. A more favorable classroom environment may also be achieved via collaboration between topic teachers and counseling instructors. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that students' anxiety of asking questions may be successfully reduced via the use of suitable counseling and guiding interventions. Consequently, students' self-esteem, classroom engagement, and academic performance are all much improved when guidance and counseling instructors are present.

Background: Suboptimal breast milk production during the postpartum period remains a major barrier to successful exclusive breastfeeding. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to address this issue, including oxytocin massage, which is believed to stimulate the release of the oxytocin hormone and facilitate milk ejection. However, findings regarding its effectiveness remain varied, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of scientific evidence. Objective: This study aims to review and synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of oxytocin massage in increasing breast milk production among postpartum mothers. Methods: A literature review with a narrative review approach was conducted using articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Garuda databases published between 2021 and 2025. Keywords included oxytocin massage, breast milk production, and postpartum mothers. Inclusion criteria were original research articles involving postpartum mothers receiving oxytocin massage interventions with full-text access. Article selection followed the PRISMA flow, resulting in 12 eligible studies analyzed narratively. Results: Most studies reported that oxytocin massage improves breast milk production and milk flow, indicated by increased milk volume, improved let-down reflex, higher breastfeeding frequency, and adequate infant intake. The effect is associated with parasympathetic stimulation that promotes oxytocin release and maternal relaxation. Conclusion: Oxytocin massage is a safe and practical complementary intervention to support breast milk production, although further studies with stronger experimental designs are needed.

The increasing integration of internet technology in educational institutions requires structured network governance to ensure that digital resources support academic activities effectively. Unrestricted access to online platforms often leads to non-academic usage such as online gaming and social media engagement during instructional hours, which may reduce learning concentration and degrade network performance. This research develops and evaluates a network access control simulation using a MikroTik RouterBoard RB951Ui-2HnD device. The system applies firewall filtering mechanisms, hotspot-based authentication, and bandwidth allocation strategies through Simple Queue configuration. Network segmentation is implemented to differentiate teacher and student access privileges. The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach to design, configure, test, and evaluate the proposed system. Testing results indicate that the firewall configuration successfully restricts access to selected online games (Mobile Legends, Clash of Clans, Roblox) and social media platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Shopee, Instagram, Telegram). Furthermore, bandwidth management demonstrates effective traffic prioritization, ensuring more stable allocation for teacher accounts in accordance with configured maximum limits. The findings confirm that structured firewall and bandwidth policies can improve network discipline, enhance performance stability, and support a controlled digital learning environment in schools.

People with visual impairment face barriers in cash transactions, particularly in identifying banknote denominations and verifying authenticity, which can reduce independence and increase vulnerability to fraud. This issue is also closely linked to the financial inclusion agenda, as access to reliable information on the value and authenticity of cash is a prerequisite for safe transactions among vulnerable groups. This community service program aimed to improve users’ competence through individualized, home-visit–based education and mentoring on an optical–UV sensor–based banknote denomination and authenticity detector with audio feedback. The program was implemented in collaboration with the Kebumen branches of PERTUNI and ITMI from October to December 2025. The intervention stages included an initial needs assessment, structured training using a concise module, hands-on practice through transaction scenarios, and follow-up mentoring. Evaluation employed a pre–post knowledge test, a practical performance checklist, and a usability questionnaire. Results indicated that the mean knowledge score increased from 55.1 to 80.7, and the success rate of denomination identification improved from 60.7% to 90.0%. This approach is relevant as an individualized mentoring model for blind communities when group-based training is difficult to implement.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) face increasing pressure to adapt to digital transformation and e-commerce in order to enhance marketing performance; however, their implementation is often constrained by limited technological utilization and low levels of consumer trust. This study aims to analyze the role of consumer trust as a mediating variable in the relationship between digital transformation, e-commerce adoption, and the marketing performance of MSMEs. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey of MSME actors in Semarang City to collect data on technology usage, consumer trust levels, and marketing performance outcomes. The results indicate that digital transformation and e-commerce adoption have a positive effect on marketing performance, while consumer trust significantly strengthens this relationship as an intervening variable. The study concludes that the success of MSME digitalization is highly dependent on the ability to build consumer trust; therefore, digital marketing strategies should prioritize enhancing credibility and improving customer experience.

Forced labor of children by parents remains a serious issue in the protection of children's rights in Indonesia, especially when such practices are justified on the basis of family economic needs. This study aims to analyze the legal provisions protecting children by forced labor by parents and to examine the obstacles to law enforcement. The research method used is normative legal research by a literature review approach, through an examination of relevant laws, legal principles, and legal doctrines. The findings of the research intricate that, legal positive indonesia there are a good constitutional and juridical legal basis in context is 1945 Constitution of the Republic Indonesia, Child Protection Law, Manpower Law and Convention on The Rights of Children which that make forced child labor as an economic exploitation categorization is prohibited. But the success of legal protection continues to run up against both legal and sociological challenges, including the murky borderlines of forced labour within the family, the challenge of proving psychological coercion and poverty-nurtured cultural attitudes towards child labour. Therefore a comprehensive approach, including law enforcement and social policies based on the best child interest is necessary.

Higher education management at the master's level currently faces urgent challenges, namely learning fatigue and low engagement among professional students, especially in Prior Learning Recognition (RPL) classes. Currently, lecturers still tend to apply conventional learning methods based on static presentations that fail to accommodate andragogical characteristics due to a lack of dynamic interaction. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the “Humanistic Digital Andragogy” approach through the integration of gamification (Kahoot) and visual thinking (Whimsical) in the Strategic Human Resource Management course. The researchers used a descriptive qualitative design with thematic analysis and collected data through feedback from students in the Master of Management Program (Semarang and Sorong classes). The results revealed that technology served as a double catalyst: Whimsical visualization effectively reduced the cognitive load of complex strategy material, while competition in Kahoot triggered positive adrenaline (eustress) that increased attention. These findings confirm that the success of technology is highly dependent on the role of lecturers as humanistic facilitators (high-touch). This synergy has been proven to change students' perceptions of HRM from merely administrative to strategic partners, as well as creating learning satisfaction that is relevant to the world of work.

The implementation of the Global Minimum Tax (GMT) through Pillar Two of the OECD/G20 marks a fundamental change in the international tax architecture, especially for developing countries such as Indonesia. One of the key instruments in Pillar Two is the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (QDMTT), which provides an opportunity for source countries to retain the right to tax the profits of multinational companies with an effective tax rate below 15 percent. This study aims to analyze Indonesia's readiness to face the implementation of GMT through the QDMTT policy, focusing on regulatory aspects and tax administration capacity. The research method uses literature studies with a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of policy documents, tax regulations, as well as academic literature and international reports. The results of the study show that Indonesia's readiness is still in the transition stage. In terms of regulation, Indonesia has shown an initial commitment through the issuance of PMK Number 136 of 2024, but the regulation still needs to be strengthened at a higher level of regulation for long-term legal certainty. From the administrative aspect, the main challenges include the complexity of calculating jurisdiction-based Effective Tax Rates, cross-border data management, as well as increasing the capacity of human resources and information technology infrastructure. This study concludes that the success of QDMTT implementation in Indonesia depends on strengthening regulations, increasing tax administration capacity, and reformulating sustainable investment policies.

Background: In the competitive healthcare landscape, where human resources are pivotal to organizational success, affective commitment defined as emotional attachment to the workplace is essential for nurse retention and service quality. Satya Negara Hospital in North Jakarta exemplifies the challenges faced by Indonesian healthcare institutions, with a notably high nurse turnover intention of 30% in 2024, signaling low affective commitment and underscoring the urgency to identify its drivers. While person-job fit and career development are established antecedents of commitment, their combined influence within Indonesia’s nursing context, along with the potential moderating role of meritocracy, remains underexplored.. Methods:  Using a quantitative, cross sectional design, data were collected via a validated questionnaire from all 108 nurses at the hospital and analyzed using multiple regression.. Results: The results revealed that person-job fit, career development, and meritocracy collectively explain 96.6% of the variance in affective commitment. Furthermore, when meritocracy was tested as a moderating variable, the explanatory power of the model increased significantly, with the adjusted R² value rising from 96.6% to 98.5%. This indicates that the presence of a meritocratic system substantially amplifies the positive effects of both person-job fit and career development on commitment.. Conclusion: The study concludes that a synergistic combination of job fit, growth opportunities, and a merit-based system is fundamental to fostering nurses’ emotional attachment. These findings contribute to organizational and psychological theory integration and offer practical human resource strategies for enhancing nurse commitment and reducing turnover in healthcare settings.

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital transformation and organizational innovation on sustainability performance, with leadership support and digital literacy as supporting variables and the role of moderating effects in strengthening the relationship between variables. The research method used a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS- SEM) analysis. Data were collected through a questionnaire measured using reflective indicators for each construct. The results of the measurement model test indicate that all indicators have outer loading values above 0.70, thus being valid in measuring the latent construct. Structurally, digital transformation has a positive effect on sustainability performance with a path coefficient of 0.124,  while organizational innovation shows a relatively weak effect  with a coefficient of 0.006. Leadership support and digital literacy have a fairly strong positive effect on sustainability performance with a coefficient value of 0.586. In addition, the first moderation effect provides a strengthening of the relationship to sustainability performance with a coefficient of 0.154, while the second moderation effect shows a very small effect with a value of 0.032. The R² value of 0.670 indicates that the model is able to explain 67% of the variation in sustainability performance, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings confirm that the success of organizational sustainability performance does not only depend on digital transformation and organizational innovation, but is also greatly influenced by leadership support, digital literacy, and moderating mechanisms that strengthen the implementation of digital strategies. This research is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to organizations in designing digital- based sustainability strategies.
