This phenomenon shows the great potential for tourism in Manado, but also challenges related to fluctuations in the number of tourists, especially from abroad. This study aims to determine the effect of flight ticket prices on tourist interest in using air transportation services in Manado, North Sulawesi in using air transportation services, and to measure how much influence flight ticket prices have on the interest of tourists in Manado, North Sulawesi in using air transportation services. This study uses a quantitative correlational method involving 100 tourist respondents visiting Manado. The sampling technique uses probability sampling with simple random sampling technique. Data analysis is carried out using. validity test, reliability test, normality test, linearity test, simple linear regression, T test and coefficient of determination (R2). Data processing through the SPSS version 22.0 application. The results of the study from the statistical test results showed a T count value of 4.945 which is greater than the t table of 1.660, and a significance value of 0.000 which is smaller than the probability of 0.1. It is known that the correlation or relationship value (R) is 0.447 and the coefficient of determination value is 0.200, which means that the influence of the flight ticket price variable on tourist interest is 20.0%. Meanwhile, the remaining 80.0% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study, such as promotion, facilities, or destination appeal. Thus the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, which means that there is a significant influence between flight ticket prices and tourist interest.

Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant global health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Iron (Fe) tablets are the standard treatment, but alternative natural supplements such as pure honey may enhance hemoglobin levels through their nutritional and antioxidant properties. This study aims to  analyze the effectiveness of pure honey combined with Fe tablets on hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia at TPMB Choirul Mala, Palembang. This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 30 pregnant women with anemia were selected through purposive sampling from a population of 66 who attended ANC visits between September and December 2024. Participants were divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received 2 tablespoons of certified pure honey and one 60 mg Fe tablet daily for 4 weeks, while the control group received only the Fe tablet. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests. The intervention group showed a significant increase in mean hemoglobin level from 9.2 g/dL to 10.8 g/dL (p = 0.002), while the control group increased from 9.0 g/dL to 10.4 g/dL (p = 0.004). The difference in hemoglobin increase between groups was statistically significant (p = 0.041). The combination of pure honey and Fe tablets is more effective in increasing hemoglobin levels than Fe tablets alone. Pure honey may serve as a beneficial complementary therapy in managing anemia during pregnancy.

This study aims to analyze public service accountability at the Namlea Subdistrict Office, Buru Regency. The research method used is qualitative, with an in-depth interview approach to gather information regarding the ongoing service processes at the subdistrict office. The research findings indicate that although some aspects of public service at the Namlea Subdistrict Office are running well, there are still areas that require improvement. The reporting process is relatively transparent, but it is hindered by a limited number of staff, which affects the timeliness of report resolutions. Information retrieval also relies heavily on direct visits to the office, suggesting the need for the implementation of information technology to make public access easier and more efficient. Service performance evaluations are conducted regularly, but they are constrained by staff capacity, which is insufficient to handle the volume of reports. Staff control and guidance are carried out routinely, but some members of the public seek increased transparency in this process. Overall, despite several challenges such as limited human resources and facilities, the Namlea Subdistrict Office has shown commitment to improving service quality. However, to enhance accountability, improvements are needed in transparency, information access, as well as strengthening staff capacity and the use of more advanced technology.
