During verification, the QR Code is scanned and the extracted token is compared with records stored in the database. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system is capable of verifying document authenticity accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, Black Box Testing confirmed that all implemented functions operated as expected. Therefore, the integration of Base64 and Pepper contributes to improving the security and dependability of digital document verification.

Patient trust is a crucial variable in hospital management, determining clinical success, treatment adherence, and institutional loyalty. In the increasingly competitive and digitalized modern healthcare landscape, hospitals face unique challenges stemming from the inherent characteristics of healthcare services. This article presents a systematic literature review exploring the determinants of patient trust through the lens of hospital service characteristics: intangibility, inseparability, variability, and perishability. This study followed the PRISMA protocol and analyzed 150 articles published between 2010 and 2026 from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. The review results indicate that assurance and empathy are the most significant service quality dimensions in mitigating perceived risk due to intangibility. Meanwhile, the quality of therapeutic communication is a key factor in managing inseparability, and standardization of operational procedures is necessary to address variability. The study also identifies the role of digital technology and the physical environment as "tangible evidence" that strengthens hospital credibility. The managerial implications of this research emphasize the need for organizational culture transformation oriented toward humanitarian values ​​and transparency to rebuild public trust that has eroded in the post-pandemic era.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive malignancy associated with high morbidity, reduced survival, and impaired quality of life. Radiotherapy (RT) has been widely used as a bladder-preserving strategy, particularly for patients unsuitable for surgery or systemic chemotherapy. RT may also enhance tumor immunogenicity through programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) upregulation, providing a rationale for combination therapy with immunotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining immunotherapy and radiotherapy in MIBC treatment. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines using the PICO framework. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for studies published between 2016 and 2025. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and ROBINS-I. Of 105 identified studies, five met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Only one Phase II randomized controlled trial demonstrated low risk of bias in randomization and allocation concealment. ROBINS-I assessment indicated moderate to serious risk in confounding and participant selection domains. Clinical findings showed promising outcomes, with complete response rates ranging from 35%–50% and partial response rates from 25%–40%. Median overall survival ranged from 24–30 months, with favorable disease-free and progression-free survival outcomes. Combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy demonstrate potential to improve survival and disease control in MIBC; however, further rigorous clinical studies are needed to optimize patient-centered treatment strategies.  

Dualisme yang terjadi antara iman Kristen dan adat Batak sering sekali menjadi suatu hal yang digumulkan, khususnya bagi jemaat HKBP, terkait bagaimana kehidupan sehari-hari terkait kehidupan bergereja dan bermasyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali informasi tentang bagaimana sebenarnya dualisme tersebut dialami oleh jemaat HKBP Karang Bangun Resort Dame serta bagaimana pemimpin gereja menjadi jembatan bagi ketegangan yang terjadi antara aturan gereja dan tradisi adat. Dengan pendekatan yang kualitatif yakni studi pustaka dan wawancara yang mendalam terhadap empat narasumber yaitu: Jemaat, Sintua, Naposobulung/pemudi, dan pemimpin gereja/pendeta. Data ini kemudian dianalisis secara sistematis dengan teori otoritas antara Thomas F. O'Dea dan Max Weber, serta konsep Sahala yang dikaitkan dengan budaya Batak. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dualisme yang terjadi tidak dianggap sebagai konflik di mana Gereja ditempatkan sebagai prioritas utama. Pemimpin gereja menerapkan tiga otoritas yang diungkapkan oleh Thomas F. O'Dea dan Max Weber, yaitu tradisional, kharismatik, dan legal-rasional , yang dalam tradisi atau budaya Batak seakan-akan perwujudan Sahala. Penelitian ini sendiri seakan-akan menawarkan kontribusi yang orisinal dengan menunjukkan keberhasilan pengelolaan dualisme adat dan Gereja tanpa sistem birokratis.

Sandstone aquifers in tropical sedimentary basins are major groundwater reservoirs, yet their public-health safety is often underestimated when assessment is restricted to physicochemical quality. This review addresses the persistent mismatch between chemically acceptable groundwater and microbiologically unsafe water, especially in shallow, permeable aquifers exposed to intense rainfall, pit latrines, septic systems, dumpsites, agricultural runoff, and weak wellhead protection. A structured narrative synthesis was conducted using peer-reviewed hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical, microbiological, vulnerability, and environmental health studies from Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. The review focused on tropical sandstone aquifer systems in Africa, Asia, and South America. It examined lithological controls, major-ion evolution, microbial indicators, contamination pathways, WHO-based classification, Water Quality Index applications, contamination indices, multivariate statistics, GIS-based vulnerability mapping, and integrated hydro-microbial risk scoring. The synthesis shows that groundwater chemistry is governed mainly by silicate weathering, carbonate dissolution, cation exchange, shale interbeds, residence time, and anthropogenic inputs. However, chemical compliance does not confirm potable safety. Reported evidence includes TDS below 500 mg/L in chemically acceptable Nigerian basin aquifers, while all 12 shallow wells in Abeokuta tested positive for total coliform and Escherichia coli. Microbial loads increased during wet seasons, with Calabar groundwater recording total coliform increases from 76 to 468 CFU/100 mL and Salmonella/Shigella reaching 1081 CFU/100 mL. DRASTIC mapping further classified 21% of the Dahomey Basin as highly vulnerable. The review therefore proposes an integrated framework linking hydrochemistry, microbial evidence, vulnerability, GIS, and health-risk interpretation for safer, adaptive, and evidence-based groundwater governance.

The system is implemented using React.js for the frontend, Node.js with Express for backend services, and a GPT-based API for language generation. Unlike prior implementations, this research introduces a structured prompt optimization mechanism to enhance content relevance and consistency. Experimental evaluation was conducted using multiple datasets of marketing prompts, with comparisons against baseline GPT usage and manual copywriting. Quantitative results show that the proposed system achieves improvements in BLEU (+18.7%) and ROUGE-L (+21.3%) scores over baseline methods. Human evaluation involving 30 participants indicates a significant increase in perceived content quality, coherence, and persuasiveness (p < 0.05). System performance analysis demonstrates an average response time of 1.8–3.0 seconds and a GTmetrix performance score of 82%. The findings confirm that the proposed framework significantly enhances efficiency, scalability, and content quality, contributing to both applied AI systems and intelligent web-based content production.

Amidst rising global pressure regarding sustainability and cross-border trade, customs agencies are no longer viewed merely as gatekeepers but as strategic actors in global environmental governance through the Green Customs Initiative (GCI). This research aims to uncover the evolutionary patterns of GCI research within the context of adaptive policy, map its intellectual structure, and identify future thematic directions. The methodology employs a bibliometric analysis of documents sourced from the Web of Science database, utilizing VOSviewer software to perform co-authorship, bibliographic coupling, and co-word analysis.The results demonstrate that the dominance of scientific actors in this field is determined more by the strength of collaboration networks than by the mere volume of publications. The findings identify that the primary intellectual foundations of GCI research rest upon the critical relationship between environmental regulation, international trade, market responses, and eco-innovation. Furthermore, country-level analysis highlights the central roles of China, the United States, and the United Kingdom in shaping the knowledge structure of this domain. Overall, these findings underscore that the GCI has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that requires an adaptive policy framework to respond to the dynamics of ecological risks and global trade demands through institutional flexibility and cross-actor collaboration. By integrating environmental protection into border management and risk assessment, this study provides a strategic reference for customs authorities to move toward a more responsive and knowledge-based green customs administration.

The advancement of information technology has driven higher education institutions to manage their digital presence professionally, particularly through quality website management as a representation of institutional identity. Preliminary observations of the Universitas Graha Karya (UGK) website (ugk.ac.id) identified several issues, including inconsistent page layouts, inactive hyperlinks, and irregularly updated content. This study aims to analyze the quality of the UGK website based on three WebQual 4.0 dimensions—usability, information quality, and service interaction quality—and to determine improvement priorities using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 308 active students selected via purposive sampling using the Slovin formula at a 5% margin of error. Data analysis included validity testing, reliability testing, WebQual 4.0 analysis, gap analysis, and IPA Cartesian diagram mapping. Results indicate negative grand mean gap values across all dimensions, with service interaction quality recording the largest gap (-0.16), followed by information quality and usability (both -0.01). IPA mapping identified five indicators in Quadrant I as the main improvement priorities: ease of menu navigation (U2), relevance of academic information (IQ2), clarity of information language (IQ4), website access security (SI1), and ease of contacting administrators (SI4). The study concludes that UGK's website quality has not fully met user expectations and requires structured, user-oriented improvements.

The increase in activity and security threats on Ubuntu server causes the volume of system logs to become very large and difficult to analyze manually. This condition potentially leads administrators to experience delays in detecting abnormal activities, such as repeated login attempts and web access patterns related to online gambling promotions. Therefore, this research aims to develop a machine learning-based Early Warning System capable of automatically detecting anomalous activities. The system is developed using the Python programming language and runs on an Ubuntu server by utilizing authentication logs and web access logs as the main data sources. The anomaly detection model is trained using normal activity data collected directly from the Ubuntu server logs to learn standard system behavior patterns. During the operational phase, the system reads server logs in real-time, extracts activity features, and analyzes them using the Isolation Forest algorithm. Activities detected as anomalies trigger alert notifications via Telegram to the administrator without performing automatic blocking. The results show that the system is able to provide early warnings for suspicious activities, thereby helping to improve server security more effectively.
