Oral health is an important aspect in maintaining the quality of life of the elderly. However, the elderly often face challenges in maintaining oral hygiene due to decreased physical abilities, changes in cognitive status, and lack of knowledge and access to dental health services. This study aims to identify factors that influence oral hygiene in the elderly and to develop an effective community-based intervention to improve oral hygiene among the elderly. The methods used in this study included a survey of knowledge, attitudes, and oral hygiene practices before and after counseling, as well as direct observation of oral hygiene in 50 elderly in the local community. The intervention was carried out through counseling, training, and providing support from family and community. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge of the elderly, from 60% before counseling to 85% after. Positive attitudes also increased, with more than 80% of the elderly showing a stronger intention to maintain oral hygiene independently. Oral hygiene practices also improved, with 75% of participants reporting brushing their teeth at least twice a day after the intervention, compared to 40% before the intervention. In addition, family and community support play an important role in facilitating these behavioral changes. The conclusion of this study is that a comprehensive community-based intervention is effective in improving oral hygiene in the elderly. This approach, which combines education, attitude change, and social support, can be a model adopted in oral health programs in other communities to improve the quality of life of the elderly.

Digitalization of migration administration is a strategic step in increasing the efficiency and transparency of immigration and population management. This research aims to analyze the implementation of digital technology, such as the M-Paspor application, Immigration Management Information System (SIMKIM), and the Sobat Dukcapil platform, as well as the challenges faced in this process. Descriptive qualitative research methods were used by collecting data through literature studies, interviews and digital system observations. The research results show that digitalization has succeeded in speeding up administrative services, increasing the accuracy of biometric verification, and facilitating data integration. However, the main challenges include limited technological infrastructure, gaps in human resource competencies, resistance to change, and security and data privacy risks. The research conclusions emphasize the importance of multi-stakeholder commitment, increased infrastructure capacity, and clear regulations to ensure the sustainability of digital transformation. Digitalization has the potential to optimize public services, as long as it is accompanied by a holistic strategy to overcome technical, social and policy obstacles.

This study is a qualitative literature review aimed at exploring the challenges and opportunities of integrating generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in human resource management (HRM) practices. GAI, as an advanced technology, holds significant potential to enhance operational efficiency in HRM through the automation of administrative tasks, improved accuracy in performance evaluations, and the development of more interactive and adaptive employee training. However, its implementation also faces several challenges, including employee resistance to change and the unpreparedness of technological infrastructure. Furthermore, ethical issues such as algorithmic bias in recruitment processes are a major concern, potentially exacerbating inequities if not properly monitored. This research identifies that the success of integrating GAI into HRM depends on the organization’s readiness to address technological and ethical challenges, as well as the importance of careful planning. The findings provide valuable insights for organizations in designing effective strategies for GAI integration to improve performance and organizational dynamics while addressing potential risks.

This research was conducted in Indonesia to analyze and understand the influence exerted by exchange rates and bank interest rates on the Indonesia Composite Index (IDX). The researcher used a causal method with a quantitative approach. The type of data used was secondary data obtained from the Bank Indonesia website. Data collection techniques included literature review and documentation. Data analysis techniques involved multiple linear regression tests, classical assumptions, and hypothesis testing. The research results indicate that exchange rates partially have a significant influence on IHSG, while bank interest rates do not have a significant impact on IDX. Simultaneously, both interest rates and exchange rates together significantly affect IDX in Indonesia. Meanwhile, interest rates and exchange rates have a very strong correlation with IDX, with a percentage of 84.98%, and the remaining 15.02% can be explained by other variables not examined. Suggestions can be made for investors to be more careful and thoroughly examine changes in bank interest rates, taking into consideration factors such as central government policies other than Bank Indonesia. This way, the interest rates set by banks, offering the highest interest rates, can be an alternative in decision-making.

The purpose of writing this paper is to discuss efforts towards achieving international standard State Civil Service (ASN) status. The quality and capabilities of ASN are very important to achieve national development goals, because ASN is an important component in carrying out government functions and providing public services. In the era of globalization and global competition, increasing ASN competency is a demand that cannot be ignored. This research explores the challenges and opportunities faced in creating international standard ASN. One of the things that will be discussed is the importance of training and education to improve ASN capabilities; use of ICT to improve public administration performance; and the importance of ethics and integrity in ASN work. In addition, this paper will present several case studies from countries that have succeeded in achieving high achievements in developing international standard ASN. By comparing the various strategies and approaches that have been implemented, this paper will present recommendations and guidelines for other countries wishing to improve the quality and credibility of their ASN. This research uses qualitative descriptive analysis with literature analysis and case studies. Relevant data is collected from reliable sources, including scientific journals, government reports, and current academic publications. The research results show that achieving international ASN status requires synergy between various parties, including government, academics and the private sector. Changes are needed in the ASN education and training system, with an emphasis on developing competencies that are relevant to global demands. Apart from that, ASN's competitiveness in facing the digital era will be strengthened by the intelligent and sustainable application of information and communication technology. However, the process towards international standard ASN must also be accompanied by the application of high ethics and integrity at all levels of government organizations. An attitude of integrity and professionalism will shape public trust in ASN and strengthen its position as an important pillar in the implementation of transparent and accountable government, such as in the implementation of e-government. This paper increases understanding of the strategies and actions that can be taken to achieve international standard ASN. It is hoped that improving the quality of ASN will increase government effectiveness and increase public satisfaction with good public services.

Bureaucratic Pathology is a disease that eats away at the very foundations of life in a bureaucracy. Bureaucracy is synonymous with the impression of long and convoluted processes, as a result bureaucracy gets a negative image. There are realities experienced in the government bureaucratic environment, such as tortuous work procedures, uneven workload, slow, inefficient, rigid, lack of transparency, corrupt behavior, these conditions are described as sick bureaucracy or bureaucratic pathology. Research is used to determine the conditions and various kinds of bureaucratic pathological practices in Indonesia and how to prevent them in order to create an efficient bureaucracy. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach using literature study techniques. The research results show that the bureaucratic journey in Indonesia is closely related to national culture and is influenced by existing cultural problems. Culture and habits are difficult to change because they are closely related to aspects of morality, this is the beginning of the emergence of symptoms of bureaucratic pathology. The culture of extortion, bribery, slow service, complicated procedures, corruption, collusion and nepotism has become a habit for the Indonesian people. Therefore, efforts that can be made to prevent bureaucratic pathology are by changing the position and role of the bureaucracy that has been implemented so far. Apart from that, applying the principles of good governance can prevent bureaucratic pathology, especially corruption, collusion and nepotism, to create an efficient bureaucracy.

The purpose of writing reform papers is improvement; bureaucratic reform means a change of perspective, an increase in "will and determination", and a decrease in the likelihood of deviation.
