In Indonesia in 2020, there were 28,158 infant deaths, of which 20,266 (72%) occurred during the neonatal period. Among these neonatal deaths, 27.4% were caused by neonatal asphyxia. In West Kalimantan Province, there were 682 neonatal deaths recorded in 2023. The leading causes of neonatal mortality in 2023 were Low Birth Weight (LBW) and prematurity (32%), followed by asphyxia (24%). Based on the 2023 Sintang Regency health profile, the infant mortality rate was 9.6 per 1,000 live births. This study aimed to determine the relationship between LBW and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia. The research used an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Ade M. Djoen Sintang Regional Hospital from January to December 2023 using secondary data. The population consisted of all newborns at Ade M. Djoen Sintang Regional Hospital, totaling 104 infants. A total sampling technique was applied, resulting in a sample size of 104 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The Chi-square analysis produced a p-value of 0.0241 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant relationship between Low Birth Weight (LBW) and neonatal asphyxia. The Odds Ratio (OR) of 4.021 shows that LBW infants have a 4.021-fold higher risk of experiencing neonatal asphyxia compared to infants with normal birth weight.  

This research aims to analyze religious and structural values in Dede Soepriatna's short story "Titah yang Berkuasa" through an integrated religious and structural approach. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with content and structural analysis techniques, this study reveals various spiritual values implicit within the narrative of this contemporary Indonesian literary work. The analysis results demonstrate fundamental religious values such as destiny (qada and qadar), tawakkal (submission to God's will), sacrifice, betrayal, and divine justice. The character Roro Oyi represents spiritual steadfastness and surrender to the Creator amidst life's trials, while King Amangkurat's character critiques the abuse of power that contradicts moral-religious principles. Structurally, the short story presents a complex plot with effectively developed central conflict, multidimensional characterization, and rich symbolism that deepens the spiritual meaning of the narrative. The research findings confirm that literature can function as an effective medium for moral and religious education without sacrificing narrative integrity. The integration of religious and structural approaches provides a holistic perspective in understanding how spiritual messages are conveyed through formal beauty, offering a literary appreciation model that harmoniously combines ethical and aesthetic dimensions.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between online shopping activities and personal financial management among university students in Indonesia. The background of this research lies in the increasing digitalization of daily consumption, which has encouraged students to engage more actively in e-commerce transactions. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 100 undergraduate students through an online questionnaire based on Likert-scale indicators. The independent variables consist of buyer characteristics (age, gender, and income sources) and online shopping activities (frequency, spending amount, and shopping motivation). Meanwhile, personal financial management is measured through financial planning and spending control. The findings show that students demonstrate very high levels of online shopping activity and acknowledge the strong influence of demographic factors on their consumption behavior. Descriptive analysis also indicates high scores for financial planning and spending control, although intensive online shopping remains a potential risk to financial stability. The implications of this study highlight the need to strengthen financial literacy among students to help them develop healthier budgeting habits and reduce impulsive buying driven by digital platforms. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of digital consumer behavior and support the development of financial education programs for young adults.

Therefore, the application of risk management and mitigation is very important to minimize financing risks. This study aims to determine how risk management and mitigation are applied to murabaha financing at BPRS. The method used is descriptive qualitative with field research and data collection techniques in the form of interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that risk management has been implemented at PT. BPRS Mitra Mentari Sejahtera Ponorogo, emphasizing the stages of identifying and measuring risk through 5C+1S analysis (character, capacity, capital, condition of economy, collateral, and sharia), although it only focuses on the aspects of capacity and collateral as well as BI checking. The risk mitigation process is also carried out through insurance and the use of collateral, especially gold pawn. Although it has a positive impact, its implementation is not yet optimal, as indicated by the high level of problematic financing and an increase in NPF.

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) in the working area of Mulyorejo Public Health Center, where an aluminum factory is located, rank first among the ten most common diseases. This study aims to analyze the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and PM2.5 exposure on ARI complaints in the aluminum factory area of Payageli Village, Deli Serdang Regency. The cross-sectional observational study involved 160 housewives living within a radius of 10–1500 meters from the factory’s chimney. The analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. Results showed that 58.1% of respondents experienced ARI symptoms in the past month. The average ambient (outdoor) PM2.5 concentration measured from three sampling points was 12.3 µg/m³, which did not exceed the WHO standard (<15 µg/m³). The highest concentration was recorded in the southern direction (15.5 µg/m³). Bivariate analysis indicated that education (p = 0.010), direction of house location (p = 0.001), and indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.006) were significantly associated with ARI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most dominant factor influencing ARI was indoor PM2.5 concentration (p = 0.039), followed by education (p = 0.013) and direction of house location (p = 0.001). This study provides a scientific basis for air quality control and housing environment improvement to reduce the risk of environmentally related diseases in industrial zones.

This study aims to analyze the influence of profitability, liquidity, and leverage on firm value, both partially and simultaneously. The background of this study is based on the importance of firm value as an indicator of managerial performance and a factor that attracts investor attention. The approach used is quantitative with a causal-associative research type. The data used is secondary data obtained from the financial statements of 19 companies in the healthcare sector. Based on the analysis, the results indicate that profitability has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that good financial performance can increase market perception of firm value. On the other hand, liquidity and leverage do not show a significant effect on firm value. This indicates that these two factors do not significantly influence market assessments of companies in the healthcare sector that are the object of this study. However, simultaneously, all three variables are proven to have a significant effect on firm value, indicating that although their partial effects are different, all three factors have a collective contribution in shaping firm value. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that profitability is the main factor that plays a role in increasing firm value, while liquidity and leverage require further attention in a more specific context.

Constitutional Court Decision Number 121/PUU-XXII/2024, which eliminates the Civil Service Commission (KASN) and transfers its duties to the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) as the new institution responsible for supervising the merit system, has generated significant concerns regarding the autonomy and effectiveness of internal bodies that are often viewed as underperforming. Based on a normative analysis grounded in relevant legal principles and theoretical frameworks, this ruling is seen as creating a gap in the oversight mechanism intended to safeguard the neutrality and integrity of the state civil apparatus. The shift in authority also introduces the potential for overlapping responsibilities that conflict with the fundamental doctrine of checks and balances. Such structural inconsistencies may weaken the supervision of civil service behavior and reduce the accountability expected from government institutions. Ultimately, these issues risk diminishing public confidence in the state apparatus, as the absence of an independent oversight body can hinder efforts to ensure professionalism, fairness, and ethical conduct within the ASN system.

Fantasy eyelashes are eyelashes that are used to add an accent of beauty to fantasy eye makeup. Currently, fantasy eyelashes are rarely sold on the market, and most of them are relatively expensive with simple designs. The scarcity of fantasy eyelashes at relatively high prices has led the author to innovate by utilizing mother-in-law's tongue leaf fibers as the basic material for making fantasy eyelashes. The research aims to simplify the search for fantasy eyelashes needed by the public at an affordable price while using natural materials that minimize the risk of irritation, thereby presenting an entrepreneurial opportunity. The natural material used is the mother-in-law's tongue plant. This plant is an environmentally friendly ornamental plant that is easily found in the author's surroundings, highly beneficial for health as it filters toxins and air pollution, and has high economic value. This research employs observation, literature review, experimentation, documentation, and questionnaires. The author uses descriptive qualitative analysis, presenting research results in narrative form using words and sentences. The author offers a price of Rp. 35,000 per pair, which is competitive with market prices for fantasy eyelashes. Product validation was conducted through sensory testing with three expert validators, covering aspects such as texture, shape, neatness, and a rating of 15 in the “very suitable” category. The level of preference was assessed through a preference test with 60 respondents, covering statements 1 to 8, with results ranging from 241 to 300 indicating “very liked.” This study concludes that fantasy eyelashes made from mother-in-law's tongue leaves can compete and are favored by makeup artists and practitioners. 

This study examines the implementation of Green Disaster Management (GDM) policies by the Surabaya City Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) as a means to enhance disaster resilience through environmental sustainability. The research analyzes the integration of GDM principles across all phases of the disaster cycle pre-disaster, during response, and post-disaster recovery. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, participant observation, and document analysis at BPBD and pilot project sites, including mangrove conservation areas, green emergency posts, and eco-friendly reconstruction sites. The findings indicate that Surabaya has demonstrated significant commitment to embedding sustainability into disaster management through community education, environmentally friendly logistics, and eco-based mitigation measures. Nonetheless, challenges persist, such as limited funding, resistance from developers, logistical constraints, and societal perceptions favoring immediate response over environmental considerations. During disaster response, innovations such as solar-powered emergency equipment and waste segregation practices are being adopted, but their widespread application remains hampered by resource limitations. Post-disaster, efforts in eco-friendly reconstruction and reforestation programs have shown promising results but require enhanced public awareness and long-term maintenance. The success of GDM implementation depends on effective inter-agency coordination, political commitment, and community engagement. Despite progress, hurdles related to budget constraints, social resistance, and knowledge gaps fully hinder the adoption of green approaches. This study highlights the importance of strategic collaboration, policy support, and community participation to mainstream sustainability in disaster management continuously. Strengthening these aspects will not only improve Surabaya's disaster resilience but also contribute to sustainable urban development aligned with global frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

The rapid growth of financial technology has led to the emergence of digital wallets as an efficient and practical means of payment. One of the most widely used services in Indonesia is Shopeepay, particularly among Generation z, who are known for their adaptability to new technologies. This study aims to examine to influence of perceived usefulness (X1) and perceived risk (X2) on the intention to use digital wallets (Y), with Shopeepay payment method (M) as a moderating variable. This research employed a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 60 University students who actively use Shopeepay. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linier regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that perceived usefulness has a positive and significant effect on the intention to use Shopeepay (sig. 0,004<0,05). Perceived risk also shows a significant effect in thr multiple regression test (sig. 0,003<0,05), but becomes insignificant when tested with MRA (sig. 0,094>0,05). This suggests that impact of risk tends to weaken when moderated by the payment methode. Furthermore, the Shopeepay payment method itself does not significantly influence user intention (sig. 0,067>0,05) collectively, perceived usefulness and perceived risk significantly affect the intention to use Shopeepay (sig. 0,001).

This abstract summarizes the innovation in land administration services through the implementation of Electronic Land Rights Certificates (e-Certificates) by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). The policy responds to persistent challenges in conventional land certificate services, including lengthy bureaucratic procedures, limited transparency, and risks of document duplication and forgery. The study focuses on the implementation of e-Certificate services at the Surabaya City Land Office II, aiming to analyze the effectiveness of the innovation, supporting and inhibiting factors, and its impact on public service quality.

Limited-scope pilot implementation supports iterative system improvements, while observable outcomes include accelerated services and increased public trust. Key enabling factors consist of strong national policy support, advanced digital infrastructure in Surabaya, and organizational commitment. Conversely, constraints include limited human resources, resistance to organizational change, and data security concerns. Overall, the e-Certificate innovation at the Surabaya City Land Office II has generated new public value through faster, more efficient, and accountable services, establishing a model for advancing digital transformation in land administration across Indonesia.

This study analyzes the simultaneous and partial effects of Price (X1), Corporate Image (X2), and Service Quality (X3) on Customer Satisfaction (Y) in cargo shipping services at PT. Serasi Shipping Indonesia, Semarang Branch. The increasingly competitive maritime logistics sector demands a deep understanding of the determinants of business-to-business (B2B) customer satisfaction. Employing an explanatory quantitative design with a saturated population and sample of 100 corporate customers, data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis (SPSS v.22). The t-test results indicate that Price (t=3.813), Corporate Image (t=4.428), and Service Quality (t=2.398) individually have a positive and significant influence on Customer Satisfaction. Simultaneously (F-test, F=37.812), all three variables significantly influence satisfaction, explaining 52.7% of the satisfaction variance. The crucial finding highlights Corporate Image as the most dominant predictor of satisfaction (\beta=0.392). This suggests that in the high-value cargo sector, the company’s reputation and assurance function as primary risk determinants for B2B customers, surpassing the importance of price and purely functional quality. These results offer clear managerial implications for logistics firms in prioritizing the reinforcement of intangible assets to maintain a long-term competitive advantage.

The high incidence of risky sexual behavior among adolescents is caused by several factors, such as the environment and low selfcontrol. Adolescents living in former red-light districts are at higher risk of risky sexual behavior due to environmental factors and a lack of self-control. Therefore, appropriate psychoeducational media are needed to help improve adolescents' selfcontrol so that risky sexual behavior can be prevented. This study aims to determine the content validity of the ‘SCOUPER’ self-control psychoeducation module as a preventive measure against risky sexual behavior among adolescents in former red-light districts. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with a 3D model (Define, Design, and Develop). The define stage analyzed the needs of adolescents, the design stage developed the self-control psychoeducation module, and the develop stage included validity testing with rating scores by experts or validators. The data analysis used in this study was descriptive analysis with Aiken's V formula and validator input. The validity test results showed that the SCOUPER self-control psychoeducation module scored between 0.75 and 1,00 in the high – very high category. Based on the validity test results, the SCOUPER module can be concluded to be valid for use with some suggestions and improvements from the validator. The SCOUPER self-control psychoeducation module is valid in terms of content, construct, and language, and has the potential to be used as a preventive medium in preventing risky sexual behavior among adolescents, especially in former red-light districts.

Maritime safety is a crucial aspect and occupies a central position in all maritime operations, especially for Indonesia as an archipelagic country that heavily relies on sea transportation. A lack of knowledge about safety tends to result in material loss, medical issues, and loss of life, demanding extra attention as the number of maritime accidents increases. This study aims to analyze the influence of independent variables on Shipping Safety (Y) at the Tanjung Emas Semarang Port Authority Office (KSOP). The independent variables tested are Crew Resources (X_1), Telecommunication Equipment (X_2), and Pilotage (X_3). Using a quantitative approach with Multiple Linear Regression analysis on 100 respondents (operational staff and captains), the F-test results confirm that X_1, X_2, and X_3 simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on Shipping Safety. Furthermore, the T-test results show that Telecommunication Equipment (X_2) has the highest and most dominant influence compared to other variables in affecting Shipping Safety. The Adjusted R^2 value of 0.619 indicates that 61.9% of the variation in Shipping Safety can be explained by these three factors. This finding provides empirical validation emphasizing the technological imperative in modern port risk management, guiding policies toward prioritizing investment in communication devices to enhance maritime safety performance.

Digital transformation in higher education requires an information system that is able to manage academic processes effectively, including the management of students' final projects. At Stella Maris University Sumba, the process of registering titles, guidance, and archiving of final projects is still carried out manually, causing various obstacles, such as administrative delays, difficulties in monitoring the progress of guidance, and the risk of data loss. This research aims to design and implement a web-based information system that supports the process of submitting titles, guidance management, uploading documents, and storing final project archives in the form of a digital data bank. The development method used is a software engineering approach with the stages of needs analysis, designing using UML, implementation, and system testing. The system is built with a three-layer architecture that features document management and role-based access control to ensure data security and integrity. The results of the black-box test showed that all system functions were running as needed, while the usability evaluation using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire resulted in a score that indicated the system was feasible to use. The implementation of this system has been proven to increase administrative efficiency, simplify the guidance process, and provide a structured thesis repository that supports academic transparency and accountability. Thus, this information system is expected to be a sustainable solution in the management of final projects as well as a model for the development of academic digitalization in higher education.

Slope stability is a key concern in open-pit mining due to its impact on safety and operational efficiency. Mine X, located in Kalimantan Island, faces landslide risks on its high wall slopes. This study aims to model slope stability and determine safe and economical slope geometry. The analysis was performed using the Limit Equilibrium Method (Bishop Simplified), both analytically and numerically, through Slide 6.0 software by Rockscience Inc. Input data were obtained from five geotechnical investigation points provided by PT.X, including cohesion, internal friction angle, and saturated unit weight. Two lithologies were analyzed—claystone and sandstone—with slope height variations (5 m, 10 m, 15 m) and angles (26°, 45°, 51°, 59°), under dry and saturated conditions. Simulation results show that the factor of safety (SF) decreases with increasing slope height and angle, especially under saturated conditions. Sandstone demonstrates better stability than claystone. The recommended optimal slope geometry is 10 meters in height with a 59° angle, yielding a SF ≥ 1.25 and aligning with the PC-400 excavator's cutting capability. This study provides a technical reference for designing safe slopes that support mining productivity.

This study examines the collaboration between the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and community organizations, specifically the Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction (FPRB), in implementing community-based disaster mitigation policies in Tamanayu Village, Lumajang. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research explores the dynamics, processes, challenges, and successes of collaborative efforts in disaster risk reduction (DRR) at the local level. The analysis highlights the significance of participatory strategies, local knowledge, and community empowerment in enhancing disaster preparedness and resilience. The involvement of multiple stakeholders—including government, community members, academia, private sector, and media—underpins the practice of the Pentahelix concept, fostering an integrated approach to disaster mitigation. The findings reveal that effective collaboration depends heavily on mutual trust, shared understanding, and a robust institutional framework that embeds disaster mitigation within the social fabric of the community. Challenges identified include coordination issues, limited resources, bureaucratic barriers, and disparities in perception and capacity among stakeholders. Despite these obstacles, the community's proactive measures, such as self-organized simulations and local resource utilization, demonstrate increasing resilience and capacity. The study underscores the importance of strengthening local institutional support, continuous capacity building, and the integration of indigenous knowledge to ensure the sustainability of disaster mitigation efforts. Furthermore, strategic alignment and synchronization between BPBD's top-down policies and bottom-up community initiatives are crucial for effective implementation. The research provides valuable insights into how participatory governance and community empowerment can lead to more resilient societies capable of adapting to evolving risks, including climate-change impacts.

This study examines in depth the concepts of maysir, gharar, and riba as three practices that are prohibited in sharia economics because they are considered to cause injustice and imbalance in economic activities. Through an analysis of the postulates of the Qur'an and Hadith, this study confirms that the prohibition of maysir is based on the element of excessive speculation that harms one of the parties, gharar is rejected because it contains ambiguity in the object and contract, while riba is prohibited because it creates an unequal addition in financial transactions. In addition, the study highlights how other religions and various modern economic systems have paid attention to the principles that are in line with the prohibition of these three concepts, especially related to business ethics, social justice, and economic risk mitigation. A cross-faith perspective shows that universal values such as honesty, transparency, and balance are essential foundations for building a sustainable economic order. By combining normative perspectives and cross-tradition comparisons, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dangers of maysir, gharar, and usury, as well as the implications of the implementation of their prohibition in modern economic life. The results of the study are expected to be a reference in formulating economic practices that are fair, stable, and able to be widely applied in various communities.
