Road improvement projects require consistency between technical planning documents and field implementation to ensure that service quality, structural performance, construction time, and user safety are achieved. This article evaluates the conformity between planning and realization in the Pangkalan-Batas Jambi road improvement project in Rawas Ulu District, North Musi Rawas Regency. The study used a descriptive-quantitative evaluative approach based on field monitoring, project technical documents, comparative quantity analysis between contract and Contract Change Order (CCO), and identification of implementation constraints. The results showed that several work items changed during construction because initial planning data did not fully capture actual field conditions. Quantities increased for drainage excavation (+18.87%), roadbed preparation (+8.99%), aggregate class A base course (+12.51%), and AC-Base (+11.98%). Conversely, reinforced pipe culverts decreased (-58.33%), unsealed aggregate base/sirtu decreased (-43.50%), and tack/prime coat volume slightly decreased (-0.47%). The time schedule showed a minor delay of -0.13% in the first week but recovered in the second week, indicating effective field coordination. Main constraints included traffic interference, limited worker visibility, and equipment visibility. The study recommends more detailed site surveys during planning, stronger traffic management, stricter occupational safety implementation, systematic progress control, and routine post-construction maintenance to maintain road service life.

This study aims to identify and analyze the logical fallacies that arise in public conversations about environmental issues and natural resource management on Indonesian social media using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through scraping techniques using the Python programming language and subsequently analyzed using an informal logic framework to identify various forms of fallacious reasoning. The findings reveal the presence of multiple fallacies that substantially influence public understanding of causal relationships within environmental dynamics. These fallacies contribute to oversimplification, shifts in attention away from scientific evidence, and the emergence of distorted perceptions regarding structural factors in spatial planning and natural resource governance. This study contributes to environmental communication scholarship by emphasizing the importance of critical thinking literacy in improving the quality of public deliberation and supporting the formulation of evidence-based environmental policies.

The rapid development of digital service platforms, particularly online motorcycle taxi services, has transformed modern economic transaction patterns, where the relationship between drivers and consumers is categorized as an ijarah (service lease) contract. However, in practice, various forms of breach of contract (wanprestasi) frequently occur and potentially harm one of the parties. This study aims to analyze the concept of the ijarah contract, identify the forms of wanprestasi, and review them based on Sharia Economic Law principles. This qualitative normative research employs a literature-based approach, utilizing secondary data from classical fiqh books, DSN-MUI fatwas, the Indonesian Civil Code, and reputable academic journals, which are analyzed descriptively-analytically. The findings reveal that breaches occur in three typologies: unilateral cancellation by consumers (ta'addi), negligence and fictitious account manipulation by drivers (taqshir and tadlis), and disproportionate cancel fee policies by platforms, indicating structural dzulm. From a sharia perspective, the settlement of wanprestasi requires compensation (ta'widh) calculated based on actual loss without riba elements, while classifying technical obstacles as force majeure under a fault-based liability approach. This study implies the need to reconstruct the digital ecosystem so that it is not only formally valid but also enforces substantive justice based on maslahah (public interest), al-‘adl (justice), mas,uliyyah (responsibility), and tawazun (proportional balance)

This study examines the phenomenon of child marriage in Grobogan Regency by focusing on the relationship between child vulnerability and the effectiveness of child protection policies within a local context. Despite the revision of the legal minimum marriage age to 19 years through Law No. 16 of 2019, child marriage remains a persistent social issue. Data from the Religious Court of Purwodadi indicate that there were 562 cases in 2024, 463 cases in 2025, and 152 cases from January to April 2026, totaling 1,177 cases. This condition highlights a significant gap between policy formulation and its implementation at the local level. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the multidimensional vulnerability of children, particularly girls, which includes economic hardship, limited access to education, weak bargaining power within families, and strong socio-cultural pressures. The findings reveal that child marriage is not merely an individual choice but a structural outcome shaped by gender inequality and restricted capabilities. Furthermore, social norms and community influence play a crucial role in sustaining the practice, often overriding formal legal frameworks. Although various prevention efforts have been implemented through policy interventions, socialization programs, and institutional coordination, these efforts remain fragmented and insufficiently integrated. The study concludes that addressing child marriage requires a comprehensive and multisectoral approach that combines legal enforcement, economic empowerment, educational access, and transformation of social norms. Strengthening local governance capacity and community engagement is essential to ensure more effective and sustainable child protection policies.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR), Human Development Index (HDI), and zakat on poverty in Mandailing Natal Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) based on quarterly secondary data from 2015 to 2025. The analytical procedures included stationarity testing, optimal lag selection, Johansen cointegration testing, VECM estimation, Granger causality testing, as well as Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Variance Decomposition (VD) analyses. The findings indicate that all variables were stationary at the second difference level, with an optimal lag length of four, and exhibited a long-run cointegration relationship. The VECM estimation reveals that, in the long run, the Open Unemployment Rate has a positive and significant effect on poverty, while zakat has a negative and significant effect in reducing poverty. In contrast, the Human Development Index does not significantly affect poverty, which may be explained by the presence of a development time lag and employment mismatch between workforce competencies and labor market demands. The Granger causality test indicates a one-way causal relationship from the Open Unemployment Rate to the Human Development Index. Furthermore, the Variance Decomposition analysis shows that poverty variation is predominantly explained by its own shocks (96.25%), reflecting the persistence of structural poverty. Therefore, policy synergy through employment expansion and the optimization of productive zakat programs based on business empowerment is recommended to accelerate poverty alleviation in Mandailing Natal Regency.

The rapid expansion of digital finance services, particularly Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platforms such as Shopee PayLater, has significantly altered consumption patterns among university students. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Shopee PayLater usage and lifestyle on consumptive behavior, as to test the moderating role of financial literacy among Accounting Education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang (class of 2022). A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, with data collected via Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 63 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. Results show that Shopee PayLater usage positively and significantly affects consumptive behavior (path coefficient = 0.440, p = 0.000), as does lifestyle (path coefficient = 0.408, p = 0.003). Financial literacy, however, does not directly influence consumptive behavior (p = 0.676). Notably, financial literacy significantly strengthens—rather than weakens—the effect of lifestyle on consumptive behavior (interaction coefficient = 0.253, p = 0.019), while it does not moderate the relationship between Shopee PayLater usage and consumptive behavior (p = 0.712). These findings contribute theoretically by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior, demonstrating that BNPL accessibility and lifestyle orientation are stronger predictors of consumptive behavior than financial knowledge alone. Practically, this study suggests that financial literacy interventions must be accompanied by self-regulation strengthening and consumer protection policies to effectively curb excessive consumption driven by digital credit services.

The rapid growth of e-commerce has significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, particularly in how information is accessed and evaluated. This study aims to analyze the impact of online reviews on consumer purchasing decisions, with a specific focus on the mediating role of consumer trust. A quantitative research approach was employed using data collected from 150 e-commerce users through an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using regression analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between variables.The results indicate that online reviews have a significant and positive effect on purchasing decisions. Additionally, online reviews significantly influence consumer trust, which in turn positively affects purchasing decisions. The findings also reveal that consumer trust partially mediates the relationship between online reviews and purchasing decisions. This suggests that credible, high-quality, and consistent reviews not only directly influence consumer decisions but also indirectly affect them by building trust.This study contributes to the existing literature on electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) and consumer behavior by confirming the importance of online reviews in shaping purchasing decisions in digital environments. From a practical perspective, the findings highlight the need for e-commerce businesses to effectively manage online reviews, encourage authentic customer feedback, and maintain transparency to enhance consumer trust and improve sales performance.

This study examines the impact of transformational leadership on citizen satisfaction with public service delivery in Indonesian local government context through a cross-sectional survey of 384 citizens in Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated instruments measuring transformational leadership (MLQ) and citizen satisfaction (adapted SERVQUAL), then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly predicts citizen satisfaction with public service delivery (β = 0.672, p < 0.001), with inspirational motivation (β = 0.284, p < 0.001) and individual consideration (β = 0.267, p < 0.001) showing the strongest effects. The model explains 45.2% of variance in citizen satisfaction, with service responsiveness and reliability emerging as key mediating factors. Results demonstrate that transformational leadership practices significantly enhance citizen satisfaction with public service delivery in local government settings, where leaders demonstrating inspirational motivation and individual consideration achieve higher citizen satisfaction levels. Practical implications suggest that local governments should prioritize transformational leadership training for public officials, emphasizing inspirational communication and personalized attention to citizen needs to improve public service delivery effectiveness, thereby contributing to the growing literature on public leadership effectiveness in developing country contexts.

This study aims to examine the effect of Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment on Turnover Intention with Job Stress as a mediating variable among working Master of Management students. This study applies the Job Demands-Resources Model and Social Exchange Theory to explain the relationships among variables. A quantitative approach with a causal research design was employed. The population consisted of 95 working Master of Management students enrolled in 2025, and 50 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment have significant negative effects on Job Stress, while Job Stress has a significant positive effect on Turnover Intention. However, Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment do not directly affect Turnover Intention. Furthermore, Job Stress significantly mediates the effects of Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment on Turnover Intention. These findings indicate that reducing job stress is an important mechanism for lowering Turnover Intention among working students. The study contributes to the application of the Job Demands-Resources Model and Social Exchange Theory in the context of working graduate students.

Dimensi Integration menjadi faktor paling dominan, yang menegaskan bahwa kesiapan menuju ASC memerlukan proses transformasi digital yang berkelanjutan, terstruktur, dan terintegrasi.

This study analyzes the implementation of the Central Papua One-Stop Service Information System (Sipersateng) at the Central Papua Provincial Secretariat as a model for administrative innovation in the New Autonomous Region (DOB). The main focus of the study is to explore how a region with extreme infrastructure limitations can leapfrog or institutionalize towards an agile and transparent digital bureaucracy. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with a case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies to capture the dynamics of the transition from manual to digital systems. The results show that Sipersateng successfully reduced administrative process time by up to 60%. This success was driven by three main dimensions: institutional legitimacy through strong leadership commitment, technical resilience through offline-syncing features to address internet signal fluctuations, and significant changes in work culture. Adaptation strategies such as peer-mentoring methods for senior officials and mandatory policies through gubernatorial instructions proved effective in breaking down organizational cultural resistance. This study concludes that Sipersateng is not merely a technical tool, but rather a manifestation of Frontier Digital Bureaucracy that is able to mitigate the risk of maladministration and build public accountability in the newly formed province. This innovation demonstrates that geographic limitations are not a major barrier to achieving clean governance if supported by inclusive and adaptive system design. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to the public management literature on digitalization in regions with high structural challenges.

Kampung Batik Okra, located in Kranggan Urban Village, Bubutan District, Surabaya City, represents a community-based creative economy initiative officially inaugurated on 28 December 2022 by the Surabaya City Government. This study aims to analyze the facilitating role of the urban village administration in strengthening the creative economic capacity of residents through the batik industry, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors for community empowerment in Kampung Batik Okra. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Informants were purposively selected, encompassing village government officials, batik group administrators, artisans, and academic facilitators. The findings reveal that the urban village administration performs three principal facilitative roles: (1) facilitation of training and skill enhancement; (2) facilitation of market access and promotion; and (3) facilitation of multi-stakeholder partnerships. These roles contribute significantly to the strengthening of residents’ creative economic capacity, as evidenced by an increase in active artisans, product diversification, and expanded marketing networks. Nevertheless, limited human resource capacity within the village administration, inconsistent community participation, and restricted access to capital remain structural barriers requiring more systemic policy interventions. This research offers a conceptual framework of empowerment-based facilitating roles for urban villages, which may serve as a reference for developing creative economy villages in Indonesian urban areas.

One key measure of a region's economic growth is the employment rate, as it reflects the ability of the economy to absorb labor and improve community welfare. In Jambi Province, employment opportunities are influenced by several factors, including Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population growth, and the Human Development Index (HDI). This study aims to analyze the effects of GRDP, population growth, and HDI on employment growth rates across regencies and cities in Jambi Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis covering 11 regencies and cities during the period 2017–2023. The findings indicate that GRDP growth, population growth, and HDI simultaneously influence employment levels. Partially, population growth and HDI have significant effects on employment, indicating that improvements in human development and demographic dynamics contribute to labor absorption. Meanwhile, economic growth, as measured by GRDP, has a relatively small negative effect on employment. This suggests that economic expansion does not always generate proportional employment opportunities, possibly due to structural changes and technological developments. Therefore, policies aimed at improving human capital and labor market conditions are essential to support sustainable employment growth in Jambi Province.

This study examines the effect of workload and work-life balance on employee performance through job satisfaction among working master’s students in Jakarta. This population faces dual demands from professional and academic responsibilities, making the maintenance of job satisfaction and performance increasingly challenging. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model and Social Exchange Theory, this study investigates how job demands and resources influence employee outcomes. A quantitative causal approach was employed using data from 57 working master’s students collected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The results show that workload negatively and significantly affects job satisfaction but has no significant direct effect on employee performance. In contrast, work-life balance positively and significantly affects both job satisfaction and employee performance. Job satisfaction positively affects employee performance and fully mediates the relationship between workload and employee performance, while partially mediating the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance. These findings support the JD-R Model and Social Exchange Theory by highlighting the role of job satisfaction as a mechanism linking work conditions and employee performance. Practically, organizations and higher education institutions should support work-life balance and manage workload effectively to enhance satisfaction and performance among working postgraduate students.

Evacuation planning in spatial networks requires the identification of critical nodes that maintain connectivity, accessibility, and flow distribution during emergency situations. Existing approaches often rely on individual centrality measures, which capture only a single structural dimension of node importance and may therefore produce incomplete or biased prioritization. To address this limitation, this study proposes a Composite Centrality Framework for identifying critical nodes in meso-scale spatial networks with semi-structured connectivity. The network is modeled as a weighted undirected graph, and Degree, Betweenness, and Closeness Centrality are integrated into a unified composite index to capture complementary structural roles. The framework is implemented in MATLAB and evaluated using a real-world campus spatial network consisting of 30 nodes and a synthetic network comprising 16 nodes with comparable structural characteristics. The results reveal a highly uneven distribution of node importance, with a small set of structurally dominant nodes consistently identified across both networks. In the campus network, node P1 achieves the highest composite centrality score (0.2195) and ranks first across the individual centrality measures, indicating its dominant role in maintaining network connectivity, accessibility, and flow distribution. Quantitative evaluation demonstrates strong agreement between the composite ranking and the individual measures, with Spearman rank correlation coefficients of 0.94, 0.89, and 0.91 for Degree, Betweenness, and Closeness Centrality, respectively. However, only one node (P1) appears simultaneously in the top five of all rankings, highlighting the complementary nature of the individual centrality measures and supporting the need for multi-criteria integration. Sensitivity analysis across three weighting scenarios yields rank correlations exceeding 0.97, confirming ranking stability and methodological robustness. Overall, the proposed framework provides a balanced and reliable approach for identifying critical nodes and demonstrates potential applicability to evacuation planning and spatial network analysis in semi-structured environments.

Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively due to structural or functional disorders, commonly manifesting as dyspnea, fluid retention, and peripheral edema. Globally, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, with CHF affecting more than 55-65 million people worldwide. Objective: To perform comprehensive nursing care on patient Ny. A with cardiovascular system disorder: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in the Mawar I Ward of RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency. Methods: This study used a descriptive method through a case study approach. Data were collected via interview, observation, and physical examination. Results: Four nursing diagnoses were identified: ineffective breathing pattern, hypervolemia, activity intolerance, and knowledge deficit. Interventions included respiratory monitoring, hypervolemia management, energy management, and health education on disease process. After two days of nursing implementation, three diagnoses were resolved and one (hypervolemia) was partially resolved. Conclusion: Nursing care for Ny. A with CHF was carried out through assessment, nursing diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. Continued interventions are recommended, including fluid balance monitoring, diuretic collaboration, and edema and ascites monitoring.

Income inequality is a structural development problem that can trigger social conflict, affect long-term economic growth, and hinder the achievement of SDGs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that contribute to income inequality in East Java Province by combining demographic, social, and economic factors. The data used includes panel data from 38 districts and cities in East Java Province between 2017 and 2023 period. The analysis method used is panel data regression with a fixed effect model. To measure the effect of variables on income inequality, the testing was conducted partially and simultaneosly. The individual test results show that elderly dependency and poverty have a positive and significant relationship, while the human development index and economic growth are proportional but not significantly, and the open unemployment rate is not significant negative. Simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect on income inequality of 55.67 percent, with the remaining 44.37 percent influenced by variables outside the scope of this study.

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of autonomous goal-directed behavior, multi-step planning, tool use, multi-agent coordination, and iterative self-correction represent a transition from passive clinical AI tools toward systems that can participate in complex healthcare workflows. However, empirical evidence remains fragmented across clinical decision support, patient monitoring, and administrative applications, and no systematic synthesis has evaluated which agentic principles have been technically demonstrated and which have accumulated sufficient evidence to support responsible clinical deployment. We conducted a PRISMA-informed systematic review of peer-reviewed empirical studies published between January 2025 and April 2026. Searches across five bibliographic databases and Google Scholar, supplemented by citation tracking, identified 443 unique records for screening, of which 25 met the predefined PICOS and quality appraisal criteria. Evidence was synthesized using an evidence-informed seven-principle framework derived from the integration of agentic AI, clinical AI, and healthcare governance literature. This framework provides a structured lens for examining how agentic principles are evaluated individually and in combination, enabling a deployment-readiness perspective that extends beyond capability-focused assessments alone. The evidence base was concentrated on technical capability principles, whereas human oversight, safety, compliance, and equity-related evaluation received comparatively limited attention. Most studies remained at the laboratory, benchmark, or proof-of-concept stage, and none reported demographic-stratified performance outcomes. Overall, the findings suggest a structural asymmetry in agentic healthcare AI: empirical research is advancing agentic capabilities more rapidly than it is generating evidence for the oversight, safety, equity, and governance mechanisms required for responsible clinical translation.

Fractures are one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders caused by trauma, repetitive stress, or pathological factors. Supracondylar femur fracture is a type of femur fracture occurring at the distal 12 cm of the femur, and Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is the primary surgical intervention. Post-operative ORIF patients commonly experience impaired physical mobility and impaired skin integrity. This study aimed to provide comprehensive nursing care to a patient post-ORIF for right supracondylar femur fracture in the Mawar 2 Ward of RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency. A descriptive method with a nursing process approach was used, employing interview, observation, documentation study, and literature study. Nursing assessments conducted on February 8, 2026 revealed that the patient (Ny. S, female, 68 years) experienced pain at the surgical site with a scale of 7, inability to move both lower extremities (muscle strength score 2), and a post-operative wound approximately 10 cm in length with redness and edema. Two nursing diagnoses were established: impaired physical mobility related to neuromuscular disorders and impaired structural bone integrity, and impaired skin/tissue integrity related to invasive procedure effects. Nursing interventions included mobilization support, pain management, wound care, and collaborative administration of medical therapy. After two days of nursing implementation, both diagnoses were partially resolved. Discharge planning focused on gradual mobilization, independent wound care, and high-protein and high-calorie diet to accelerate recovery.

This study aims to analyze the influence of product knowledge, corporate image, relationship marketing, and trust on customers’ savings decisions at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) KCP Jakarta Duri Kosambi, as well as examine the moderating effect of word of mouth in the relationship between these variables. The background of this research is based on the relatively low number of customers at BSI KCP Jakarta Duri Kosambi, which only reached 515 customers by the end of 2023, despite the large Muslim population in Cengkareng District, which represents a significant potential market for Islamic banking services. This study employs a quantitative research method using a questionnaire distributed to 100 customers selected through accidental sampling techniques. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results indicate that product knowledge, corporate image, relationship marketing, and trust each have a significant positive effect on savings decisions, as reflected in their respective path coefficients and t-statistics. Furthermore, word of mouth is found to significantly moderate only the relationship between relationship marketing and savings decisions, while its moderating effect on product knowledge, corporate image, and trust is not significant. These findings suggest that BSI KCP Jakarta Duri Kosambi should strengthen marketing strategies focusing on customer knowledge, institutional image, relationship quality, and trust to enhance customers’ savings decisions.
