The administration of population services in Rumbai Timur District continues to face challenges following the regional expansion that required residents to update their civil documents. The SIPENDUDUK website was introduced to simplify digital submissions; however, its implementation has not been fully effective. A portion of the community, particularly older adults and individuals with low digital literacy, still struggles to navigate service flows and upload required documents. This study aims to evaluate the service quality of the SIPENDUDUK website in improving the effectiveness of civil administration services. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through observations and interviews with officers and service users. The findings indicate that although the website has facilitated administrative processes, its accessibility has not yet reached all user groups due to varying technological capabilities. The system shows adequate efficiency and stability, although several technical issues remain. Service security is maintained through controlled access and a simplified interface. User support is provided through direct assistance from the local office, including manual guidance and mobile outreach services. These results highlight that the success of digital services depends not only on system quality but also on user readiness. This evaluation is expected to contribute to improving the effectiveness, inclusiveness, and overall quality of population administration services in Rumbai Timur District.

Introduction: Conditions in Indonesia based on data from the 2019 Nutrition Status Study of Toddlers in Indonesia (SSGBI) are still relatively high, where the prevalence of stunting is 27.67%. The GADHIES model aims to clarify and facilitate work steps in carrying out health promotion and can complement the shortcomings of each of these models. The purpose of this service is to improve the competence of village midwives in health promotion by empowering the community to use local ingredients in making healthy and nutritious food as an effort to prevent stunting, as well as increase public awareness of the dangers of stunting in children. Method: The implementation of this activity goes through three stages of activities, namely planning, implementation and monitoring evaluation. During the planning, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) began first between the PKM team, the Puskesmas and village midwives. The implementation of the gadhies model health promotion model training for stunting prevention was carried out for 2 days which was attended by 15 village midwives, with 3 resource persons, lecture methods and interactive discussions using power point media, gadhies model posters, gadhies health promotion pocket books, and also the Gadhies Model Training Module. After carrying out this training activity, the team conducted monitoring and evaluation to see the improvement of midwives' competence on the gadhies model health promotion method. Results: There was a significant increase in midwife's competence in health promotion from 2 (13.3%) during the pretest to 14 (93.3%) during the posttest. There was a significant increase in maternal satisfaction with health promotion services by midwives from 4 (26.7%) to 15 (100%) after midwives received health promotion training on the Gadhies model.

This study examines the implementation of digital health services via the Mobile JKN application at the Payung Sekaki Community Health Center in Pekanbaru City and explores factors affecting service effectiveness, especially complaints about long waiting times. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on the Mobile Health Acceptance Model by Handayani et al. (2021), the study focuses on five constructs: ease of use, system availability, system responsiveness, health workers’ digital skills, and user trust. The results show that Mobile JKN has significantly simplified administrative processes, accelerated registration, and improved service efficiency at the health center. Effectiveness is supported by factors such as the application’s general ease of use, faster queue data processing, and adequate digital skills among staff. Users also show a high level of trust, though queue time estimation still needs improvement. Despite these benefits, complaints about long waits persist due to patients who register online but still queue manually and misunderstandings between Mobile JKN and e-Puskesmas queue numbers. Late patient arrivals also contribute to delays. Overall, Mobile JKN proves effective in enhancing digital health services, but further optimization is needed through better socialization of service procedures, accurate queue information, and improved system integration to maximize the advantages of digitalization.

Koordinasi kerja memegang peranan penting dalam menjaga stabilitas operasional usaha jasa, terutama pada usaha berskala kecil yang sangat bergantung pada kerja tim dalam satu waktu kerja. Namun, koordinasi sering kali tidak berjalan efektif akibat faktor internal seperti dominasi ego, komunikasi yang tidak terbuka, serta lemahnya peran kepemimpinan di lapangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana buruknya koordinasi kerja dapat mengancam keberlangsungan usaha jasa, dengan mengambil studi kasus pada Rental PlayStation ABC di Kota Surabaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara terstruktur terhadap tiga karyawan dari bagian kasir, runner, dan dapur serta satu orang manager. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa koordinasi kerja yang berantakan dipicu oleh kecenderungan mempertahankan ego pribadi, perbedaan cara menyampaikan informasi, serta kurangnya kejelasan peran dan pengawasan kerja. Kondisi tersebut berdampak pada ketidakseimbangan beban kerja, munculnya konflik antarbagian, menurunnya kualitas pelayanan, dan meningkatnya risiko gangguan operasional. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa tanpa pengelolaan koordinasi yang baik, usaha jasa berpotensi mengalami penurunan kinerja secara berkelanjutan.

Biodiversity is essentially a reflection of the number of species and individuals inhabiting a community, as seen in the Pteridophyta group. These plants, which have evolved to have differentiated roots, stems, and leaves, play an important role in forest systems, primarily as protectors of the soil surface from the effects of erosion, in addition to contributing to the decomposition of organic matter that produces nutrients, and being a major part of the producer chain in the trophic structure. The Jaboi hot spring area, located in the Sukajaya District of Sabang City, exhibits unique ecological characteristics, influenced by the presence of the Jaboi volcano, which gives rise to geothermal phenomena such as fumarole activity, hot steam emissions, and the emergence of high-temperature water flows. This geothermal dynamic directly causes alterations in the physical and chemical conditions of the local soil, thereby shaping habitat characteristics and influencing the existence of vegetation, including ferns. To date, there is little scientific information available on the diversity of ferns in this area. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine and measure the diversity of ferns in the Jaboi hot spring area. The study was conducted in October 2025 using an exploratory survey approach to determine plots and purposive sampling techniques for field data collection. Diversity analysis was based on the Shannon-Wiener index (Ĥ) formula. Based on the identification results, 15 species of ferns from a total of 6 families and 433 individuals were found. The diversity index obtained (Ĥ=2.490171) indicates a moderate level.
