Corruption is a serious crime that has a significant impact on the government, the economy, and public welfare. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), an independent organization charged with combating corruption, plays a crucial role in the Indonesian legal system and is empowered to carry out investigations, inquiries, and prosecutions against corruption crimes to uphold the supremacy of the law and create a clean government. However, along the way, the KPK's performance has experienced various challenges, both regulation, politics, and technicalities in carrying out its duties. Changes in regulations, especially through the revision of Law Number 30 of 2002 enacted in 2019, are one of the factors that influence the effectiveness of this institution in carrying out its duties. This study strives to analyze the performance of the KPK in enforcing the law on corruption crimes in Indonesia. The main focus of this study includes an evaluation of the effectiveness of the KPK in handling corruption cases, the challenges faced, and strategies that can be applied to improve the performance of this institution. The methods used in this study are normative and empirical juridical methods. The examination of various laws and regulations applying normative legal approaches governing the eradication of corruption, and investigating official documents such as the KPK's annual report. Meanwhile, the empirical approach is carried out by analyzing case data handled by the KPK. The research results are expected to provide an overview of the effectiveness of the KPK in enforcing the law against criminal acts of corruption and provide constructive recommendations for efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia.

Money laundering is a serious crime that has a significant impact on economic and social stability, as well as the integrity of the financial system. This crime is often associated with serious crimes such as corruption, narcotics, and terrorism. Money laundering poses a major threat to national security, conceals the origin of illicit funds, and undermines a healthy economic system. To combat this crime, Indonesia has imposed criminal sanctions based on Law Number 8 of 2010, which aims to provide a deterrent effect on perpetrators and prevent similar crimes from occurring in the future. However, the effectiveness of these criminal sanctions remains a critical challenge, given the various difficulties in their enforcement, such as the complexity of tracking the flow of funds, limited law enforcement resources, and the increasingly sophisticated modus operandi of perpetrators who often work together with international networks. This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of criminal sanctions in combating money laundering and identify obstacles in their implementation. The research method used is juridical-normative research with a legal regulatory framework. Primary data was obtained through literature review and examination of legal documents, while secondary data came from relevant literature, reports, and academic studies. The urgency of this research stems from the importance of evaluating and strengthening the application of criminal sanctions to protect the national financial system from the risk of money laundering. Without concrete steps to increase the effectiveness of sanctions, money laundering crimes will continue to proliferate and pose a threat to the national economy, weaken the legal system, and erode public trust in efforts to combat economic crime.

Minister of Health Regulation No. 269 of 2008 explains that medical records are defined as a collection of documents containing complete information regarding patient identity, examination results, therapy, medical procedures, and health services received. In working, an employee should be able to balance their workload to achieve work harmony that contributes to increased productivity. Job satisfaction reflects the appreciation and comfort felt by an individual for the tasks they perform. Conversely, dissatisfaction at work can trigger negative reactions in the form of aggressive behavior or a tendency to withdraw from social interactions around them. Job satisfaction also greatly influences employee motivation and commitment to continue working with enthusiasm and achieve the desired goals. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between workload and job satisfaction with employee performance in the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe in 2023. The research method was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe from September to December 2023. The study population was 40 Medical Records Installation employees. The sampling technique used total sampling, namely 40 respondents. Data analysis used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The results of the study based on the chi-square test showed a relationship between workload and employee performance at the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe with a p-value = 0.001 <0.05 and a relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance at the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe with a p-value = 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion; The conclusion in the study is that there is a relationship between workload and job satisfaction with employee performance at the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe in 2023.

A 23-month-old female patient presented with red, itchy bumps, accompanied by intense itching, which caused the skin to peel from scratching. These symptoms began less than a month before the visit and worsened one week before seeking treatment. The fluid-filled bumps burst due to scratching, causing sores and peeling skin. The itching was constant and tended to worsen at night. The use of moisturizer by the patient's mother provided little relief. The onset of these symptoms coincided with a visit from the patient's mother's younger brother, a student at the Islamic boarding school (Santri), who was staying at the patient's home during the holidays. Less than a month later, similar symptoms began to be felt by the patient, her siblings, and both parents. The diagnosis was based on primary data obtained through a history taking with the patient's mother, a direct physical examination during a home visit, and completion of the family file and the patient's medical records. The patient, suspected of having scabies, was treated with 5% permethrin cream, applied as directed, and cetirizine to reduce the itching. Case assessments are conducted holistically, assessing the initial condition, process, and final outcome of each visit both quantitatively and qualitatively. Interventions include not only treatment but also comprehensive family education. This education includes an explanation of the etiology and transmission of scabies, the importance of maintaining personal and environmental hygiene, and potential complications such as secondary skin infections due to scratching. The goal of this education is to improve patient and family compliance with therapy, prevent reinfection, and break the chain of disease transmission in the home environment. This approach is expected to not only reassure the patient but also raise family awareness of the importance of clean and healthy living practices as a long-term preventative measure.

The study aims to analyze the legal gaps related to the regulation of new types of narcotics that have not been registered. This research employs a normative legal research method, which focuses on analyzing the existing legal provisions as stated in the relevant laws and regulations. The purpose is to examine how these legal frameworks address the emergence of new types of narcotics, especially those not yet registered in Indonesia. With the rapid development of synthetic drugs and other new narcotic substances, existing laws often struggle to keep up with emerging challenges. The normative legal research approach is particularly suitable for this study because it enables a critical examination of how the current legal system responds to these developments and whether it provides adequate legal tools to address such issues. Through this approach, the study will explore the gaps in existing positive law and assess how these legal voids impact the implementation of anti-drug policies and law enforcement in Indonesia. One key issue identified is the inability of current narcotics laws to effectively regulate or prevent the circulation of new, unregistered substances. This lack of legal recognition creates challenges for law enforcement agencies in controlling the distribution and use of such narcotics. Furthermore, the study will analyze the implications of these legal gaps on public health, law enforcement practices, and the overall effectiveness of anti-drug efforts in Indonesia. By identifying the shortcomings in the regulation of new narcotics types, the research aims to provide recommendations for improving legal frameworks and ensuring that laws evolve in tandem with emerging drug trends. Ultimately, this study contributes to enhancing the legal response to narcotic-related issues and supports the development of more effective drug control policies in Indonesia.

In a criminal justice system that upholds the principle of justice, the protection of suspects' rights is a crucial and fundamental component. Investigators play a crucial role in ensuring suspects' rights are protected during the investigation process, including the right to legal counsel, the right to access information, and the right to be free from arbitrary prosecution. The aim of this study is to explore the role of investigators in guaranteeing these rights and highlight challenges in their implementation. The study revealed that many suspects did not receive legal assistance from the beginning of the examination, lacked understanding of their rights, and faced investigations that often violated due process of law. This problem is exacerbated by limited human resources, inadequate internal oversight, and lack of ongoing training for investigators. These factors contribute to the failure to enforce the rights of suspects as a whole, which impacts the fairness and integrity of the legal process. In an effort to realize a fast, simple, and inexpensive judicial process, as promised in Law Number 48 of 2009, this study emphasizes the need for reforms to strengthen the investigation process. The reforms include improvements in the aspects of supervision and more in-depth training of investigators on human rights, so that they can better understand and implement the protection of the rights of suspects. In addition, the use of technology in investigations, such as digital-based information systems to manage evidence and legal processes, can increase transparency and accuracy in every stage of investigation. Strengthening internal supervision mechanisms is also very important to minimize abuse of authority by investigators. On the other hand, it is important to periodically evaluate the application of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in investigations, in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws and provide justice for suspects.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the role of BAZNAS (National Amil Zakat Agency) of West Bandung Regency in the distribution of productive zakat as a means to foster community-based business development during the first semester of 2025. Productive zakat, unlike consumptive assistance, is positioned as a strategic instrument to improve the economic independence of mustahik (zakat recipients), particularly micro-entrepreneurs such as small shop owners, farmer groups, tailors, and individuals engaged in similar economic activities. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to capture an in-depth understanding of program implementation. Data collection methods include in-depth interviews with BAZNAS officials, serving as key informants, and the examination of relevant documents, reports, and activity records. The findings indicate that the application process for assistance is conducted through formal, verified requests, ensuring transparency and accountability, rather than accepting open-form submissions. The form and amount of assistance are adjusted to the specific type and needs of each business, and recipients are prioritized based on the eight asnaf categories, with a focus on those who already have ongoing business activities. In addition to capital provision, the program aims to empower mustahik to transition into muzakki (zakat givers) over time, thereby creating a sustainable cycle of economic empowerment. Monitoring activities are conducted three times a year to assess progress and identify challenges. However, the study also highlights constraints, including limited mentoring sessions and the need for more consistent supervision to ensure that the assistance translates into long-term economic impact. To maximize effectiveness, stronger collaboration among BAZNAS, local communities, and regional government is recommended, alongside capacity-building initiatives for beneficiaries. This collaborative approach is expected to reinforce the sustainability and impact of productive zakat programs, contributing to broader poverty reduction and community empowerment goals.

Growth and development have similarities in change. And these changes involve all physical members, motor skills and language development. If there are abnormalities in the child's growth and development process, then the child will experience delays in growth and development which is usually called Developmental Delay. This study aims to determine the effect of play therapy on the growth and development of children with developmental delay conditions. This research uses the case study method. After carrying out therapy 8 times, the results showed that play therapy had an effect on improving gross motor skills and improving balance in children with developmental delay. Examination of children's motor skills using the DDST (Denver Development Screening Test) revealed an increase in several stages of ability development in gross motor aspects. Examination of the child's balance using the PBS (Pediatric Balance Scale) showed an increase in balance in several categories, such as the child being able to stand independently and turning 360°.

This study aims to determine the hip joint examination technique in Post ORIF Total Hip Replacement cases at the Radiology Installation of Meuraxa Hospital, Banda Aceh. Hip joint examination is performed with anterior, posterior, and axial projections in Post ORIF Total Hip Replacement cases using AP pelvic projection. This study is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were one radiologist, three radiographers, and one patient with Post ORIF Total Hip Replacement cases. AP pelvic radiography examination at the Radiology Installation of Meuraxa Hospital, Banda Aceh aims to compare the right or left hip.    

Urinary tract examination with the CT-Scan modality is considered superior to other imaging modalities because it produces better image resolution, clear anatomical details, and is able to accurately detect abnormalities. At the Radiology Installation of Brebes Hospital, the CT-Scan Urography examination is carried out without fasting requirements. Patients are only asked to remove metal objects from the abdominal area and hold urination before the examination begins. This aims to keep the urinary bladder (VU) fully filled so that it facilitates the evaluation of the anatomy of the urinary system, especially in detecting kidney stones which are the main complaints of patients. This study aims to find out in detail the procedure for CT-Scan Urography clinical urography of kidney stones, as well as the reasons why patients are asked to hold urination and are not asked to fast before the procedure is performed. The research method used is a mix method, which is a combination of qualitative and quantitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research sample consisted of 3 patients who underwent CT-Scan Urography clinical examination of kidney stones at the Radiology Installation of Brebes Hospital. The results of the study showed that the procedure started from the patient's preparation, such as removing metal objects, drinking mineral water, and holding urination so that the VU was fully filled, thus helping the visualization of organs and urinary tract. This examination does not require fasting because the CT-Scan modality is able to provide a clear picture of the anatomy of the urinary tract without interference from the digestive system. These findings confirm that the CT-Scan Urography procedure at Brebes Hospital is simple, effective, practical, and provides optimal diagnostic results for patients.

Successful development encompasses various aspects of community life and cannot be separated from progress in the health sector. Health is one of the key indicators in determining the quality of life of a population. Therefore, attention to health—especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly—is of great importance. Regular health check-ups serve as a preventive measure to help the community detect illnesses early and encourage individuals to take an active role in maintaining their own health. Several types of examinations are commonly provided free of charge during community service activities, including blood pressure checks, random blood glucose tests, uric acid level tests, and cholesterol level screenings. These health checks are especially beneficial for the elderly, as they help monitor overall health conditions and enable early management of diseases to prevent further complications. In this activity, a total of 40 elderly individuals voluntarily participated in the health screening. The methods used included health education sessions and direct examinations of blood pressure, uric acid levels, and random blood glucose levels. The counseling was delivered using simple and clear language, and it included a question-and-answer session to help participants better understand the information provided. The results of the examinations showed that some of the elderly participants had high blood pressure and elevated blood glucose levels, which led to recommendations for follow-up visits to nearby healthcare facilities. Through this health screening initiative, the overall health quality of the elderly participants improved, and their awareness of the importance of early detection increased. This activity is expected to motivate the broader community to pay more attention to their health and to undergo regular health check-ups. By taking a proactive role in managing their well-being, individuals can reduce the risk of serious complications in the future and contribute to the creation of a healthier society overall.

Research on national banking using the Altman’s Z-Score analysis technique has been relatively extensive, but studies focusing specifically on banks indexed to SRI-KEHATI remain limited. The SRI-KEHATI Index is known as a benchmark for companies with strong sustainability, social responsibility, and good governance practices. This study aims to analyze the health trends of banks listed in the SRI-KEHATI Index during the 2015–2024 period by applying the second modified Altman’s Z-Score model (1993), which is widely recognized as a reliable indicator for assessing a company’s financial stability and risk of bankruptcy. The findings indicate that the overall Altman’s Z-Score trend of major banks within the SRI-KEHATI Index shows stability and a consistently healthy financial condition throughout 2015–2023. However, in 2024 there is a notable decline that requires further examination to determine whether it is caused by market fluctuations, structural challenges, or accounting adjustments. Despite this decrease, the overall financial health of the banks remains categorized as very good according to Altman’s model. The average Z-Score for all four banks analyzed is 6.457, which is well above the threshold of 2.6, indicating no significant bankruptcy risk. When evaluated individually, BMRI stands out as the healthiest with a Z-Score of 13.879, followed by BBNI with 5.971, BBRI with 3.175, and BBCA with 2.801. These results confirm that all four banks remain in a safe financial zone during the 2015–2024 period. Furthermore, the study’s four hypotheses are proven, reinforcing the argument that SRI-KEHATI indexed banks maintain strong financial resilience even amid post-Covid-19 challenges.

Anxiety is an emotional state characterized by feelings of discomfort, such as restlessness, worry, or fear of events that have not yet occurred. This condition is often experienced by pregnant women who are about to undergo labor, especially if confronted with an emergency cesarean section (CS). High anxiety can negatively impact the mother's physical and psychological condition, as well as affect the labor process. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of warm water foot soak therapy as a form of non-pharmacological intervention in reducing anxiety levels in pregnant women who will undergo cesarean section. This study used a case study design with a residential care approach. The study subjects consisted of two patients in the Gladiol Ward of Dr. Tjitrowardojo Purworejo Regional Hospital who experienced damage problems in the form of anxiety. The intervention provided was warm water foot soak therapy twice daily for two consecutive days. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation, physical examinations, medical record studies, and filling out the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) questionnaire. The results showed that this therapy was able to reduce anxiety levels in both patients. The first patient showed a decrease from moderate anxiety (score 16) to mild anxiety (score 12), while the second patient experienced a decrease from severe anxiety (score 21) to moderate anxiety (score 17). Thus, warm foot soak therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing pre-CES anxiety and can be considered a safe and simple treatment intervention.

According to Pathological Based Registration data in Indonesia, breast cancer ranks first with a relative frequency of 18.6%. In Central Java Province, the number of cancer cases has increased significantly over time. In 2010, there were 13,277 cases of cancer, and in 2015 this number increased to 18,954 cases. Of these, 6,899 cases were cervical cancer (35.13%), while 9,542 cases were breast cancer. One of the early detection methods of breast cancer that is easy to do independently is a breast self-examination or known as Sadari. The application of this Sadari method can help women to be more sensitive to changes in their breasts so that the risk of delays in cancer treatment can be minimized. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the demonstration method compared to video media in increasing adolescents' motivation to practice the Sadari method. The type of research used is quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling, with research instruments in the form of questionnaires consisting of items that are favorable and unfavorable. Data analysis was carried out using univariate and bivariate methods to determine the difference in motivation between the experimental groups. The results showed that in the group of the Sadari motivation experiment with video treatment, the significance value obtained was p = 0.000. The same was also shown in the group with the demonstration treatment, with a significance value of p = 0.000. Furthermore, the results of the Mann-Whitney test showed a significant value of 0.002. Since p < 0.05 (p = 0.002), it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in Sadari motivation between the video group and the demonstration. The average motivation score of the demonstration group (36.00) was higher than that of the video group (25.00), so the demonstration method was stated to be more effective in increasing Sadari's motivation.

Breast cancer remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia, with late detection being a major contributing factor. Nurses play a critical role in promoting early detection through education and clinical screening. This literature review aims to examine the role of nurses in breast cancer education and screening in Indonesia. A total of 25 relevant articles published between 2019 and 2024 were reviewed from national and international journals. The results show that nurse-led education significantly improves knowledge and practice of breast self-examination (BSE), while nurse involvement in clinical breast examination (CBE) contributes to early detection. However, barriers such as limited training, lack of resources, and insufficient institutional support hinder optimal implementation. The study highlights the importance of strengthening nurse capacity and integrating community-based education models to improve early breast cancer detection in Indonesia. This review provides a theoretical and practical foundation for strengthening the role of nurses in national cancer control strategies.

Introduction: Periodontal tissue is a supporting and protective tissue of the teeth consisting of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. One type of periodontal disease is gingival enlargement. The main factor that causes this disease is bacterial plaque, so gingivectomy treatment is needed. Gingivectomy is a procedure to cut excess gingival tissue with the aim of eliminating pockets and gingival inflammation, so that good physiological, functional and aesthetic gingiva is obtained. Case: A 19-year-old male presented to Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital with complaints of gingival enlargement, which had been occurring for the past six months, primarily affecting the upper right posterior and lower anterior gingiva. The patient reported no history of systemic illness and no known allergies to medications or food. Clinically, the gingiva appeared enlarged, soft in consistency, reddish in color, with blunted gingival margins. Periodontal pocket depths were recorded as follows: tooth 32 : 433, 31 : 423, 41 : 323 and 42 : 333. A diagnosis of gingival enlargement was established.. Management: The initial treatment consisted of scaling and root planing. However, no significant improvement was observed at the 7-day follow-up. Consequently, gingivectomy was performed on teeth 32, 31, 41, and 42. A follow-up evaluation was conducted 10 days post-operatively. Intraoral examination revealed periodontal pocket depths of 31 (2-1-1), 32 (2-1-2), 41 (2-1-2), and 42 (2-1-2). The patient demonstrated good oral hygiene, with a marked reduction in gingival enlargement. Nonetheless, mild edema and erythema persisted on the labial aspect of teeth 41 and 42. Conclusion : Gingival enlargement is an inflammation that occurs in the gingiva due to local factors, namely plaque bacteria. Treatment of gingival enlargement that does not shrink after scaling, root planing, must be performed gingivectomy so that good morphology and aesthetics are obtained.

Pregnant women's lack of understanding of the importance of antenatal care (ANC) can negatively impact fetal development. The use of ultrasound technology during ANC examinations can provide a more accurate picture of fetal condition. Ultrasound can determine whether the fetus' size is within normal limits, the number of fetuses, the volume of amniotic fluid, the position of the placenta, and whether the fetus' weight is appropriate, larger, or smaller than the gestational age. Objective: To increase pregnant women's knowledge of the importance of ANC examinations and to evaluate fetal condition by providing free ultrasound services. Methods: To conduct outreach activities, including free ultrasound examinations. This activity involved 22 pregnant women from the community surrounding the service location. Results: After the implementation, participants' knowledge test scores increased. The outreach program ran smoothly and participants were very enthusiastic, as evidenced by the many questions asked. All participants participated in the free ultrasound examinations, which showed healthy and normal fetal condition. Conclusion: This outreach program was effective in increasing pregnant women's understanding of the importance of ANC examinations, while the free ultrasound examinations helped confirm fetal health. All participants participated enthusiastically in the activity, and the benefits were felt by all parties involved.. 

This study aims to explore transformative learning experiences of middle-aged women through writing activities in an Indonesian women's writing. Transformative learning among middle-aged women is crucial to investigate as this phase involves complex identity transitions, yet limited research explores the role of reflective writing in personal transformation processes within Indonesian contexts. This qualitative research employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) involving two participants aged 41-64 years from the Padma Women Writers Community through in-depth interviews. Data analysis followed Mezirow's transformative learning framework to map participants' experiences. Findings reveal transformative learning processes beginning with disorienting dilemmas triggered by life transitions, followed by critical self-examination through reflective writing, exploration of new roles, and perspective transformation regarding empowerment and autonomy. Writing functions as a catalyst for transformation through three mechanisms: structured examination of experiences, narrative construction for meaning-making, and community sharing for validation. This research contributes to extending Mezirow's theory application in creative expression contexts and provides insights for developing reflective writing-based learning programs for middle-aged women.     

The digital transformation in education has encouraged the adoption of computer-based tests (CBT) using video content, which demands stable and efficient network performance. This study aims to evaluate the performance of two queue management algorithms, namely Random Early Detection (RED) and Per Connection Queue (PCQ), in maintaining the quality of service (QoS) of school networks during online video-based examinations. A case study approach was applied using a real network topology in a school environment, and QoS parameters such as throughput, delay, packet loss, and jitter were measured. The implementation was conducted using a MikroTik RB450Gx4 router configured with simple queue settings for each algorithm. The results show that PCQ provides more consistent performance under high user loads, achieving an average throughput of 56,482 bps and lower delay compared to RED. Conversely, RED performs better in scenarios with a small number of users. The study recommends using PCQ for networks with dynamic and dense user environments, while RED is more suitable for low-traffic conditions where latency stability is crucial. These findings offer practical guidance for managing bandwidth and improving the quality of CBT delivery in educational settings.
