This study examines the relationship between organizational culture and the sustainability of public service innovation within government bureaucracy. Although many public service innovations show positive results in the initial stages, many do not sustain in the long term. This indicates the presence of fundamental factors affecting innovation sustainability, one of which is organizational culture. Organizational culture plays a role in shaping the behavior, values, and work methods of civil servants in providing services to the public. This study aims to analyze the role of organizational culture in supporting or hindering the sustainability of public service innovations. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study analyzes 20 relevant scientific articles from 2002 to 2025. The results indicate that hierarchical, rigid, and administratively-oriented organizational cultures hinder innovation sustainability. Other factors such as low leadership support, limited incentives, and resistance to change also strengthen these barriers. Conversely, an open, collaborative, and adaptive organizational culture to change enhances the likelihood of innovation sustainability. In conclusion, the success of public service innovations is greatly influenced by the organizational culture underlying the behavior of civil servants. Therefore, transforming organizational culture to be more innovative and adaptive is a strategic step to strengthen the sustainability of innovation.

This study aims to determine the effect of adding Buton Asphalt on the mechanical properties of Asphalt Concrete – Wearing Course (AC-WC) mixtures based on Marshall test parameters.

Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a leading commodity in aquaculture in Indonesia due to a number of advantages such as disease resistance, rapid growth, high survival rate, and feed conversion efficiency. Whiteleg shrimp contributes significantly to Indonesian fisheries exports, reaching 38.98% in 2021. To meet high market demand, increasing the productivity and quality of whiteleg shrimp is very important, where the quality of the shrimp is influenced by the quality of the fry. Good management, including selecting quality broodstock, proper handling of eggs and nauplii, and maintaining optimal water quality, is very important in producing quality whiteleg shrimp fry. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature on the growth length and life expectancy of whiteleg shrimp nauplii. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design with three different temperature treatments (26°C, 29°C, and 32°C). The whiteleg shrimp nauplii used had an average size of 328.24mm obtained from PT. Delta Windu Purnama Situbondo. The water quality parameters used are Temperature, pH, salinity, and DO. Delta Windu Purnama Situbondo. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.

The performance of Asphalt Concrete – Wearing Course (AC-WC) is greatly influenced by the characteristics of the mixture, one of which is the void value which plays a role in stability, durability, and resistance to damage. Rainwater is the most dominant environmental factor accelerating pavement damage through stripping mechanisms, bond release, and a decrease in the structural strength of the layer. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study on changes in void value with soaking duration, the relationship of void value to the design life of the road pavement, and an empirical model of the design life based on void value with variations in soaking in the mixture using a laboratory test approach. Based on the results of laboratory tests, it can be seen that changes in void values ​​due to variations in soaking time using rainwater indicate that the longer the mixture is soaked, the changes in VIM and VMA values ​​tend to decrease, while VFA increases. The relationship between VIM values ​​and the design life of road pavements in AC-WC layers due to soaking variations shows that the design life decreases sharply when the VIM value is <3%. Thus, long-term immersion can reduce the road life by more than 35% of its ideal design life and based on a simple empirical model equation to estimate the design life of the pavement based on the void value and immersion conditions, N0 = 12.5 years is obtained (Ideal mix design life at VIM = 4%).

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Globally, DM continues to pose a growing health challenge, particularly type 2 DM, which is closely associated with insulin resistance. In this condition, body cells fail to respond effectively to insulin, so even though the pancreas initially produces sufficient or excessive amounts of insulin, its effectiveness gradually declines. Over time, pancreatic beta-cell function deteriorates, further exacerbating chronic hyperglycemia. This persistent condition may lead to long-term complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases, through mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The prevalence of type 2 DM is expected to continue rising, including in Indonesia, highlighting the need for comprehensive management strategies. An important aspect of DM management is the assessment of health-related quality of life. Quality of life reflects an individual’s perception of their health status within social and cultural contexts. This can be evaluated using generic instruments such as the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. In this case report, the quality of life of a patient with type 2 DM was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disease’s impact on the patient’s daily life.

With growing antimicrobial resistance becoming a major health concern, there is an urgent need to explore alternative treatment options. This study examined the efficacy of copper sulfate pentahydrate (CSP) against eight microorganisms commonly implicated in vaginal infections. We tested three Candida species (C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. tropicalis) along with five bacterial species, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Gardnerella vaginalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The agar dilution test was performed at concentrations ranging from 0.0001M to 0.7M of CSP. We obtained an effect of CSP antimicrobial, which was concentration-dependent. Concentrations low ( ≤ 0.007M) did not influence growth significantly. We observed partial growth inhibition at medium concentrations (0.05-0.07M, equivalent to approximately 780 -1092 µg/ml) of the solution. The growth of bacteria and yeasts was fully inhibited at 0.05M and 0.07M, respectively. The dose required to kill the organisms (not merely inhibit their growth) was 0.25M (approximately 2014 µg/ml) across all microorganisms used, and we verified this by observing no growth when samples were inoculated into fresh media. These findings have indicated that CSP possesses good antimicrobial efficacy against typical vaginal pathogens at doses that may be applied in topical therapies. However, some additional research is required, especially the research that will investigate the toxicity on human cells and the production of suitable formulations to be used clinically.

The digital transformation of public administration represents a critical pathway toward modernizing governance, enhancing service delivery, and improving transparency in Indonesian government agencies.

This research contributes to theoretical understanding of digital government in developing nations and provides practical guidance for policymakers navigating the complexities of public sector digitalization.

The effectiveness of public sector organizations in delivering quality services and achieving their mandates depends critically on how they manage their human resources. This study examines the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices and organizational performance in Indonesian public sector organizations. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 312 public sector managers and HR professionals across 45 government agencies through surveys and 32 in-depth interviews. The research investigates five key SHRM dimensions: strategic recruitment and selection, performance management systems, employee development and training, compensation and rewards, and employee engagement. Findings reveal significant positive relationships between SHRM practices and multiple performance indicators including service quality, operational efficiency, employee productivity, and organizational innovation. Regression analysis demonstrates that SHRM practices collectively explain 47.3% of variance in organizational performance scores. Qualitative data illuminate implementation challenges including limited HR professional capacity, rigid civil service regulations, political interference, and resistance to performance-based management. The study identifies critical success factors such as top management commitment, alignment between HR strategy and organizational strategy, investment in HR analytics capabilities, and cultural transformation toward merit-based practices. Results indicate that high-performing public organizations distinguish themselves through systematic talent management, data-driven HR decision-making, continuous learning cultures, and stronger linkages between individual performance and organizational outcomes. This research contributes empirical evidence on SHRM effectiveness in public sector contexts and provides actionable recommendations for HR practitioners and policymakers seeking to leverage human capital for improved public service delivery.

Immature permanent teeth with open apices and pulpal necrosis present a significant challenge in endodontic treatment. Apexification procedures have been developed to stimulate the formation of a hard tissue barrier at the apex, thereby allowing adequate obturation. Objective: This case report aims to describe the evaluation of apexification treatment based on radiographic findings. Case Report: An 8-year-old boy accompanied by his mother presented to PKU Muhammadiyah Surakarta Hospital with a history of a fall one week earlier. The affected tooth had previously received a temporary restoration from another dentist. According to the patient’s mother, medication had been placed in tooth to devitalize the pulp prior to temporary filling. Clinical examination revealed that tooth 11 exhibited a fracture involving approximately half of the crown and extending into the pulp chamber. Discussion: Initial radiographic examination in 2018 indicated that immature teeth have lower structural resistance compared with mature teeth; therefore, endodontic intervention such as apexification is required to establish apical barrier and adequate obturation. The material used for apexification in this case was a combining calcium hydroxide and iodoform. In contrast to the initial stage, radiographic evaluation in 2024 demonstrated that root development had progressed to stage V. According to Cvek’s classification of root development, stage V (Cvek stage V) represents a condition in which root development is fully completed. Conclusion: Based on long-term clinical and radiographic evaluation in this case, apexification treatment proved effective in stimulating the formation of an apical barrier and supporting root maturation in immature permanent teeth.

Abstract: One of the most common harmful bacteria, particularly in hospitals, is Pseudomonasaeruginosa, which is also the most frequent cause of wound infections. Because it leads to antibioticresistance and persistent infections, one of the most significant virulence factors it produces isbiofilm. The goal of the current study is to prevent P. aeruginosa isolates from wound patients fromforming biofilms by using plantaricin, which is a peptide with broad-spectrum antibiotic generated byLactobacillus plantarum. In order to produce plantaricin, so that Lactobacillus plantarum isolates from rawbuffalo milk were screened. The plantaricin was then purified using ammonium salts and a gelfiltration column, with a final 40% recovery. The isolates of P. aeruginosa with more production tobiofilm from wound infections were tested for the inhibitory impact of pure plantaricin. The resultsshowed that the plantaricin reduced the development of biofilms in a dose-dependent manner, with alarger percentage of biofilm inhibition reaching 46–68% at 150 µg/ml.

Seren Village has abundant organic waste potential, particularly banana peel waste generated from banana-processing MSME activities and wood ash resulting from household firewood combustion. To date, this waste has not been optimally utilized and is often discarded, thereby posing potential environmental problems. This study aims to process banana peel waste and wood ash into an innovative, environmentally friendly shoe polish made from natural materials, while also enhancing the economic value and welfare of the community. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the women’s Family Welfare Empowerment Group (PKK) of Seren Village as the target participants. The shoe polish production process includes drying and grinding banana peels, mixing them with a wood ash solution that functions as a natural coloring agent, adding supporting materials, and heating the mixture until a ready-to-use shoe polish is obtained. The results indicate that the shoe polish produced from banana peels and wood ash has a solid texture, is slightly coarse, non-glossy, and has a relatively fast drying time of approximately one minute. In addition, the product shows good resistance to water splashes and does not damage the surface of shoes. The use of natural ingredients makes this shoe polish safer for health. The utilization of this waste has the potential to support MSME development, reduce environmental pollution, and sustainably improve the welfare of the Seren Village community.

This study explores the intersection of feminism and gender equality in Bali, analyzing how patriarchal norms, media portrayals, and religious customs marginalize Balinese women. Using Simone de Beauvoir’s concept of the “Other,” it examines why feminism faces resistance despite growing gender equality awareness. Through surveys and interviews with Balinese women aged 11–20, the findings reveal that many support gender equality but hesitate to identify as feminists due to cultural misconceptions and Western associations. The research highlights the need for educational initiatives and community discussions to integrate feminism into Balinese traditions, showing that culturally adapted advocacy is more effective than universalist approaches. It underscores the importance of feminist education, local leadership engagement, and promoting women’s roles within traditional structures, demonstrating that feminism and Balinese traditions can coexist without disrupting social harmony. Future research should explore generational shifts, digital media’s role in shaping perceptions, and comparative studies in other traditional societies to further bridge feminism and cultural values.

This study explores the integration of community driven learning practices in the adoption of educational technology and its impact on sustainability. With the rapid advancement of digital tools and platforms, higher education institutions have increasingly adopted online and hybrid learning models to enhance teaching and learning. However, despite the potential benefits, aligning institutional goals with community needs remains a significant challenge. This research utilizes a mixed methods approach, combining stakeholder surveys, policy analysis, and comparative case studies to evaluate the effectiveness of both top down and community aligned adoption models. The findings reveal that community driven models, which involve local stakeholders in the decision making process, lead to higher engagement, better adoption rates, and greater long term sustainability compared to top down approaches. Stakeholders, including educators, students, and administrators, reported that participatory decision making fostered a sense of ownership and ensured the relevance of adopted technologies. The study also identifies key sustainability factors, including participatory decision making, long term community engagement, and contextual relevance, which are crucial for ensuring that educational technologies remain effective and beneficial over time. However, challenges such as resistance to change, lack of resources, and unequal access to technology were found to hinder the successful implementation of sustainable models. The research concludes with practical recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers to adopt community aligned models and ensure equitable access to technology. Future research directions are suggested to further explore the balance between institutional innovation and community driven learning, with a focus on long term outcomes and the adaptability of these models across different educational contexts.

This study aims to analyze the evolution of Islamic civilization within the cultural landscape of Southeast Asia through a comparative study between Indonesia and Patani, Thailand. The research employs a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design based on literature review, examining the historical, social, cultural, and political developments of both regions. The findings reveal that the development of Islamic civilization in Indonesia occurred through an inclusive and adaptive process of cultural acculturation. Islamic values were integrated with local traditions, creating a moderate and harmonious religious pattern within society. In contrast, the development of Islam in Patani took place under conditions of political marginalization and state pressure, which fostered cultural resistance and strengthened the religious identity of the Malay Muslim community. These differences indicate that socio-political structures play a significant role in shaping the dynamics of Islamic civilization. The study confirms that Islam as a civilization is flexible and adaptable to different cultural environments; however, the form of adaptation is strongly influenced by power relations, social conditions, and local political contexts. This research is expected to enrich the study of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia through a comparative approach that integrates cultural and political dimensions more comprehensively.
