The Community-Based Sanitation Program (PAMSIMAS) is a government initiative aimed at improving community access to proper sanitation facilities, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in Tanjung Aman Village, Wampu District, Langkat Regency. A qualitative approach was used with a phenomenological method, focusing on the experiences and perceptions of local residents and village officials regarding program implementation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, involving 15 informants comprising residents, sanitation cadres, and village officials. The findings show that technically, the sanitation facilities function well; however, sustainability in usage faces challenges such as low community participation, weak maintenance systems, and the absence of binding local regulations. Community perception of the program is generally positive, particularly regarding improvements in environmental cleanliness and comfort in using the facilities, yet unequal access remains a significant issue. The study concludes that the success of PAMSIMAS largely depends on collaboration among the community, local cadres, and village policies. Strategic recommendations include the formulation of Village Regulations, regular training for cadres, and the establishment of a community-based sanitation management institution. With this approach, the program is expected to operate sustainably and provide long-term benefits to rural communities.

This study aims to empirically examine the influence of the Internal Control System (SPI), Regional Financial Accounting System (SAKD), Government Accounting Standards (SAP), and Transparency on the quality of financial statements in the Regional Government of Purbalingga Regency. The problem of the quality of financial statements is still an important issue in regional financial management, because quality financial reports not only function as a form of accountability to the public, but also as a basis for strategic decision-making for local governments. The research method uses a quantitative approach with questionnaire instruments distributed to 61 respondents, consisting of local government officials involved in the process of preparing financial statements and have met the research criteria. Data analysis was carried out using the inner model and outer model approaches, which resulted in an R-square value of 0.743 for the financial report quality variable. This value shows that the independent variables in this study were able to explain 74.3% of the variation in the quality of financial statements, while the rest was influenced by other factors outside the research model. The results of the analysis show that the SAKD and Transparency variables have a significant influence on the quality of local government financial statements. This confirms that a good financial accounting system and transparency in public budget management are the main factors that can improve the reliability, relevance, and accountability of financial statements. On the other hand, the SPI and SAP variables did not have a significant effect, which shows that the implementation of both still needs evaluation and improvement in order to make a real contribution to the quality of financial statements.

The existence of Final Waste Processing Sites (TPA) in urban areas often presents a dilemma between the need for waste management infrastructure and its environmental and social impacts on surrounding communities. This study aims to examine the impact of the TPA Terjun in Medan City on patterns of land use change and the socioeconomic conditions of nearby residents. The method used is quantitative, involving a survey of 150 respondents, and multiple linear regression analysis to test the influence of two independent variables namely, the characteristics of the TPA and public perception and response on community perceptions of environmental impacts. The results indicate that both independent variables have a significant simultaneous effect on public perception, with a model significance value of 0.022. Partially, the physical characteristics of the TPA have a significantly positive influence, while community perceptions and responses also contribute meaningfully. However, the low coefficient of determination (R² = 0.009) suggests that many other factors outside the model also influence perceptions of environmental impact. This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach in spatial planning and urban environmental management, particularly in relation to public facilities such as TPAs. Community participation, infrastructure quality, and zoning certainty are crucial factors in maintaining the balance between the functional needs of the city and the desired quality of the microenvironment.

The findings highlight the system’s capability to support local economic digitalization by providing an accessible and user-friendly marketplace for traditional market vendors and consumers.

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is abdominal pain, cramps and back pain experienced by women at the beginning of menstruation for 48-72 hours. This condition is most often experienced by women in their late teens to young adults (15-25 years) due to optimization of uterine function so that prostaglandin secretion increases. In Indonesia, the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea reaches 54.89%, with a significant impact on adolescent activities. One of the effective non-pharmacological methods to overcome primary dysmenorrhea is abdominal effleurage massage, which is performed directly on the site of pain so that endogenous analgesics (endorphins) are released and pain transmission to the cerebral cortex is inhibited. Purposes: To analyze the effect of abdominal effleurage massage on reducing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Research method: This study used a quantitative method with a pre-experimental one group pretest posttest design method. The population of this study was 45 adolescents. The sample was taken using a simple random sampling technique of 21 female students who experienced primary dysmenorrhea. Data collection was carried out using the NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) pain scale observation sheet. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Based on the analysis test using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, a significance value of 0.00 (p <0.05) was obtained, which means Ha was accepted. In other words, abdominal effleurage massage has an effect on reducing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Conclusion: There is an effect of abdominal effleurage massage on reducing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents.

The digital era has revolutionized educational systems, making digital literacy a vital competency for the 21st century. As such, educational administration plays a pivotal role in driving digital transformation within schools. This study used a qualitative approach with a multi-case study design, examining 20 secondary schools to assess how effective educational administration practices contribute to the sustainable implementation of digital literacy programs. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 60 educational administrators, participant observations, and the analysis of policy documents. The findings reveal that educational administration, when proactive, collaborative, and data-driven, significantly boosts student digital literacy. In fact, schools employing these practices experienced an improvement in digital literacy by up to 65% within two years of program implementation. The success of these programs was largely attributed to key factors such as visionary leadership, strategic allocation of resources, continuous teacher capacity development, and robust monitoring systems. Additionally, the research highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to digital literacy, where educational leaders understand the interconnections between various administrative functions and their impact on digital education. This includes integrating strategic planning, operational execution, developmental efforts, evaluation processes, and collaborative work between teachers and administrators. In response to these findings, the study proposes the Integrated Digital Literacy Administration Model (MALDT). This model offers a framework that can be adapted by educational institutions to enhance learning quality in the digital age. It emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to digital literacy administration, combining leadership vision with operational efficiency and continuous professional development. Ultimately, the adoption of such a model can help schools foster an environment where digital literacy is embedded into the core educational experience, ensuring students are adequately prepared for the challenges of the digital era.

Pharmacist professionalism is a key component in ensuring the quality of pharmaceutical services, encompassing not only compliance with technical and scientific standards but also a deep commitment to moral and ethical principles. In the Indonesian cultural context, the concept of "medicine as a trust" (obat sebagai amanah) reflects a profound sense of responsibility, where medicine is viewed not merely as a commodity, but as a mandate that must be preserved with integrity and accountability in health care practices. This article conceptually explores the relationship between pharmacist professionalism and the moral value of trust within the framework of the Nusantara constitutional theory. This theory emphasizes the integration of legal, cultural, and moral dimensions in shaping professional conduct in Indonesia. Using a descriptive-critical approach through literature review, this study investigates how trust functions as both a legal expectation and a cultural imperative in the practice of pharmacy. The findings highlight that trust must be internalized as a core value in pharmaceutical services—manifested through ethical decision-making, transparency in drug management, and a commitment to prioritizing patient welfare. Pharmacists are not only required to uphold professional standards, but also to carry out their duties as custodians of public trust. To realize this vision, the integration of the value of trust into pharmacy education, legal regulations, and clinical practice is essential. Educational institutions, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies must work collaboratively to instill this value as part of a pharmacist’s identity. In doing so, the profession can contribute more effectively to building a health care system that is just, culturally grounded, and centered on the well-being of the people.

Community participation refers to the active involvement of citizens in various stages of the development process, especially at the village level. A concrete example of community participation can be seen in the case study of Bendhung Lepen, located in Mrican Village, Yogyakarta. Bendhung Lepen is an irrigation canal that stems from the Gajah Wong River. Before its revitalization, the area faced numerous environmental problems, primarily due to household waste and pollution that contaminated the waterway and negatively affected the environment and public health. In response to these issues, local residents, along with relevant stakeholders, initiated an environmental conservation program. The main goal of this initiative was to restore the ecological function of Bendhung Lepen and transform it into a clean, green, and beneficial public space for the community. This study aims to measure the level of community participation in the environmental conservation program. Data collection methods included questionnaires for quantitative analysis and in-depth interviews for qualitative insights into community involvement. The results of the study show that community members were actively involved in various phases of the program, including planning, implementation, and evaluation. Stakeholders involved in the program included community leaders, youth groups, environmental organizations, and village officials. The forms of participation extended beyond voicing aspirations to contributing labor (through mutual cooperation) and materials (such as donations or supplies). According to Arnstein’s ladder of participation, the level of community participation in this conservation program falls under the category of "delegated power," which represents a high degree of participation. This means that the community was not merely involved as passive participants but was given real authority in decision-making and program management. These findings indicate that genuine and sustained community involvement plays a crucial role in the success of local environmental conservation efforts.

Digital transformation in government bureaucracy has become a strategic step to improve efficiency, accountability, and transparency, including in the management of regional legal products. In the Regional Secretariat of Tegal Regency, the process of submitting legal products is still done manually, which causes inefficiencies, delays, and a lack of document traceability. To address these issues, a web-based legal product submission application has been developed with document tracking features. This research uses the Waterfall system development method, and implements a FIFO (First In First Out) queuing system in the submission process, along with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for managing user access rights. The goal of this system is to create a faster, more transparent, and digitally documented application process. The implementation results show that the application is able to systematically and integratively manage the flow of submissions, corrections, verification, and the ratification of legal products. Features such as a Login page with CAPTCHA, analysis dashboards, tracking, and monthly reports enhance the monitoring and security functions of the system. This application can be an effective solution in supporting the digitization of regional legal bureaucracy, as well as providing ease and efficiency for regional officials in preparing and submitting drafts of legal products digitally.

Gorontalo Province is an area with a high level of disaster vulnerability, both from hydrometeorological disasters such as floods and landslides, as well as geological disasters such as earthquakes. This condition requires an integrated, modern, and sustainable disaster training facility. Unfortunately, until now Gorontalo does not have a representative disaster management education and training center to support community preparedness. This research aims to design a Disaster Management Education and Training Center that not only functions as an education and simulation place, but also integrates green architecture principles to create an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient learning environment. The method used is qualitative descriptive with primary data collection through observation, interviews with stakeholders, and field documentation. Secondary data were obtained from literature studies, disaster architectural precedents, and spatial planning regulatory studies. The design site was chosen in Limboto District with considerations of accessibility, development potential, and geographical conditions. Analysis is carried out on spatial, functional, and climatological aspects to produce an optimal zoning concept and the orientation of building masses according to the tropical climate. The design results show that an area of 19,371 m² can accommodate all space needs with the utilization of KDB of 25.4%. The application of green architecture is realized through the use of environmentally friendly local materials, natural lighting, cross ventilation, solar panels, and rainwater management systems. The simulation facilities for floods, landslides, earthquakes, and fires are designed based on experiential learning so that participants can experience disaster scenarios firsthand. This design is expected to be a model of sustainable tropical disaster architecture, replicate in other disaster-prone areas, and encourage the creation of a disaster-aware culture. This research also opens up further research opportunities related to energy performance evaluation and the application of digital technology in disaster education.

Introduction: Periodontal tissue is a supporting and protective tissue of the teeth consisting of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. One type of periodontal disease is gingival enlargement. The main factor that causes this disease is bacterial plaque, so gingivectomy treatment is needed. Gingivectomy is a procedure to cut excess gingival tissue with the aim of eliminating pockets and gingival inflammation, so that good physiological, functional and aesthetic gingiva is obtained. Case: A 19-year-old male presented to Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital with complaints of gingival enlargement, which had been occurring for the past six months, primarily affecting the upper right posterior and lower anterior gingiva. The patient reported no history of systemic illness and no known allergies to medications or food. Clinically, the gingiva appeared enlarged, soft in consistency, reddish in color, with blunted gingival margins. Periodontal pocket depths were recorded as follows: tooth 32 : 433, 31 : 423, 41 : 323 and 42 : 333. A diagnosis of gingival enlargement was established.. Management: The initial treatment consisted of scaling and root planing. However, no significant improvement was observed at the 7-day follow-up. Consequently, gingivectomy was performed on teeth 32, 31, 41, and 42. A follow-up evaluation was conducted 10 days post-operatively. Intraoral examination revealed periodontal pocket depths of 31 (2-1-1), 32 (2-1-2), 41 (2-1-2), and 42 (2-1-2). The patient demonstrated good oral hygiene, with a marked reduction in gingival enlargement. Nonetheless, mild edema and erythema persisted on the labial aspect of teeth 41 and 42. Conclusion : Gingival enlargement is an inflammation that occurs in the gingiva due to local factors, namely plaque bacteria. Treatment of gingival enlargement that does not shrink after scaling, root planing, must be performed gingivectomy so that good morphology and aesthetics are obtained.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), and lowerurinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are among the most prevalent urological conditions affecting agingmen. Over 30% of men above the age of 60 experience moderate to severe LUTS, often requiringmedical intervention. While the pathophysiology of BPH/BPE remains partially unclear, theandrogen receptor pathway—particularly the role of dihydrotestosterone—is well established. Agentssuch as finasteride and dutasteride target this pathway by inhibiting 5α-reductase. More recently,metabolic dysfunction and chronic prostatic inflammation have also been recognized as contributingfactors to the progression of BPE and LUTS. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms is criticalfor developing more effective therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ofdual therapy with tamsulosin and solifenacin in improving urinary symptoms and bladder function inpatients diagnosed with BPH. A total of 120 patients with bothersome urinary symptoms wereenrolled. Data was collected using a structured medical questionnaire, and the follow-up periodranged from 3 to 6 months. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in symptomseverity, with the mean score decreasing from 10.09 to 3.44 post-treatment. Additionally, the pre-void urine volume increased from 181.62 ml to 260.81 ml, indicating enhanced bladder capacity.However, no statistically significant change was observed in post-void residual urine volume. Theseresults support the incorporation of tamsulosin-solifenacin dual therapy into clinical protocols formanaging LUTS in BPH patients, particularly for those with storage-related symptoms.

This study aims to analyze the ability of students in the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Study Program to develop Lesson Plans (RPP) and implement teaching through microteaching activities. The RPP serves as a crucial tool for prospective teachers in designing a systematic and measurable learning process, while microteaching functions as an effective teaching practice medium to develop students’ pedagogical skills. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and interviews with final-year PGSD students enrolled in the microteaching course. The findings reveal that most students were able to develop lesson plans in accordance with the applicable curriculum formats (K13 and Merdeka Curriculum), including formulating learning objectives and outlining the sequence of learning activities. However, weaknesses were still found in formulating learning indicators, selecting appropriate models and methods, and integrating literacy, numeracy, and the elements of the Pancasila Student Profile. In implementing microteaching, students demonstrated mastery of the material and conducted learning activities in a structured manner. Nonetheless, some still faced challenges in classroom management, interactive communication, and the use of media and educational technology. The conclusion of this study indicates that PGSD students’ abilities in preparing lesson plans and conducting microteaching are in the “fairly good” category. However, they still require further guidance and training to be fully prepared as professional educators in the field. It is expected that through continuous evaluation and constructive feedback from lecturers, students can improve the quality of their lesson planning and teaching practices more optimally.
