Maritime safety is one of the most crucial aspects of sea transportation, largely determined by the orderliness of vehicle loading on board. This study aims to evaluate vehicle loading practices on KMP Terubuk operating on the Semarang–Kumai route by examining vehicle spacing, the use of lashing equipment, transport productivity, and ship stability based on the metacentric height (GM) value. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method using primary data obtained from field observations and secondary data from PT Dharma Lautan Utama’s operational reports. The findings reveal that the average spacing between vehicles ranged from 15 to 20 cm, which is far below the minimum standard of 30–60 cm as regulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation Regulation No. 115 of 2016. Moreover, none of the vehicles were secured with lashing equipment, despite its availability on board. The transport productivity over the past five years has shown a significant increase in both passengers and vehicles; however, this growth has not been followed by adequate implementation of safety standards. Stability analysis demonstrated variations in GM values across trips, with several trips recorded below the safety threshold of 0.15 m, indicating unstable conditions. The study concludes that vehicle loading practices on KMP Terubuk do not yet comply with maritime safety regulations, thus stricter enforcement and monitoring of loading standards are urgently required.

The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata / KKN) of Nusa Nipa University Indonesia is one of the compulsory academic activities that reflects the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, particularly in the field of community service. This program aims to provide real contributions to village development, improve the quality of public services, and strengthen the relationship between students and the local community. One of the work programs carried out by the KKN group in Wolorega Village was the creation of a village name board as an identity marker for the Village Office.                                                                                                                                The background of this activity lies in the absence of a proper and representative village name board, which often caused difficulties for both local residents and visitors in locating the village office. This situation affected the effectiveness of administrative services. Therefore, the KKN students took the initiative to design and construct a new village name board to strengthen the village’s identity and improve public service facilities.  The implementation method included several stages: coordination with the village head and officials, designing the name board, procuring materials and equipment, constructing and painting the board, and finally installing it in front of the Wolorega Village Office. The entire process was carried out in collaboration with village officials and with active participation from the local community. The results of this activity show that the village name board was successfully built and installed. Its presence provides significant benefits, such as making it easier for the community to locate the Wolorega Village Office, clarifying the village’s official identity, and enhancing the image of the village government as a well-organized and professional institution. In addition, this activity received positive appreciation from village officials and the community because it effectively addressed an existing problem.  In conclusion, the creation of the village name board is not only a physical facility improvement but also a tangible form of contribution from the students of Nusa Nipa University Indonesia in supporting village development and improving public services in Wolorega Village.  

Ischemic stroke occurs when a thrombus, embolus, or vascular stenosis disrupts blood supply to the brain, causing vessel rupture and blood leakage into the surrounding neuronal space. A common clinical symptom of stroke is hemiparesis, or muscle weakness on one side of the body. Non-pharmacological management, such as range of motion exercises using mirror therapy, can support rehabilitation. Mirror therapy is a form of motor rehabilitation that engages the patient's motor imagery. The mirror provides visual stimulation to the brain, particularly the cerebral motor nerves on both the affected and unaffected sides, to assist movement in limbs experiencing hemiparesis. This study used a case study method, implementing nursing care and evidence-based nursing practice. Over six consecutive days of intervention, mirror therapy led to increased muscle strength. Prior to the therapy, muscle strength was recorded at. After the therapy, muscle strength improved to. These results suggest that mirror therapy can serve as an effective rehabilitation strategy to address impaired physical mobility in patients with ischemic stroke.

The Indonesian government has long faced complex armed conflicts, particularly in Papua, involving security forces and Armed Criminal Groups (KKB). This conflict has had a major impact, not only in terms of casualties involving the military and civil society, but also in terms of broader social and political impacts. A more security-oriented approach by the government is often questioned, because on the one hand, it exacerbates human rights violations, creates a negative stigma against the Papuan people, and further limits the space for constructive political dialogue. This ongoing tension has worsened relations between the central government and Papuans, who have long felt marginalized. In addressing these issues, it is important for governments to develop a more holistic approach, by strengthening protection of civil society, increasing transparency and accountability, and opening up space for inclusive dialogue between all relevant parties. A sustainable settlement requires not only security management, but also serious attention to the well-being, rights of the Papuan people, and recognition of their cultural diversity and political aspirations. Going forward, approaches that prioritize dialogue and reconciliation can open up opportunities to achieve a more just and sustainable peace.
