Integrating strategies and policies that strengthen these three aspects together can create a work environment that supports and motivates employees to work together effectively. Organizational identification, transformational leadership and Worker Identification have a significant effect on the willingness to cooperate in the post-integration phase of the acquisition.

Adolescence is very important to pay attention to because it is a transition period between children and adults, where physically they will experience specific changes. Adolescents must receive balanced nutritional intake according to their needs in order to achieve optimal growth and development and avoid nutritional problems. Nutritional problems that can occur in adolescents are malnutrition, chronic lack of energy (KEK), obesity and anemia (Sandra, Ahmad, & Arinda, 2017). An imbalance between the intake of food consumed causes problems of undernutrition and overnutrition. Malnutrition in adolescents results in decreased body resistance to disease, increased disease rates, abnormal growth, low intelligence levels, low productivity and stunted growth of reproductive organs in adolescents (Nurfiriani & Ratih, 2023). The aim of this service activity is to increase teenagers' knowledge about the importance of nutrition for teenagers, to support the growth and development of teenagers, to prevent the risk of nutritional problems and non-communicable diseases, so it is necessary to carry out health promotion efforts in the form of providing health education and evaluations to increase knowledge about nutrition so that it can increase adolescent awareness in maintaining health.

This study explores the integration of green practices into nursing protocols as a means of reducing the environmental impact of hospital care. Hospitals significantly contribute to global carbon emissions, and nursing practices are integral to healthcare operations, yet they often lack sustainability considerations. The aim of this research was to develop and implement a set of green-practice guidelines tailored for nursing staff to minimize carbon emissions and improve operational efficiency. Through collaboration with environmental experts, nursing staff, and hospital management, new guidelines were established focusing on waste reduction, energy-efficient practices, and sustainable procurement. A waste-audit assessment was conducted to analyze current waste management practices, while a pilot implementation was carried out in selected hospital wards. The results revealed an 18% reduction in carbon emissions following the integration of these green practices into daily nursing activities. Key contributors to this reduction included waste segregation, the use of reusable medical supplies, and energy conservation measures such as optimizing lighting and HVAC systems. However, challenges such as resistance to change, resource limitations, and the need for specialized training were identified during the pilot phase. Despite these barriers, the research highlights the significant potential for nurses to lead sustainability efforts in healthcare settings. The findings indicate that integrating green practices into nursing protocols can provide environmental, operational, and economic benefits, ultimately contributing to more sustainable healthcare systems. Future research should refine these protocols, explore their broader application, and assess long-term outcomes across various healthcare settings

This article examines the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities in implementing the merit system policy within the context of Indonesia’s bureaucratic reform, employing a narrative literature review approach using a triangulation of scholarly sources. Thematic analysis identifies five critical themes that hinder the implementation of the merit system: structural tensions between political patronage and meritocracy that create a hybrid spoils–merit system; significant institutional capacity gaps between central and local governments; digital transformation through platforms such as CAT, SmartASN, and SIPINTER as catalysts for transparency and objectivity; organizational cultural resistance rooted in patrimonial and seniority values; and the weakening of independent oversight exacerbated by the dissolution of KASN’s mandate. Although a progressive regulatory framework has been established through Law No. 5 of 2014, the implementation of the merit system remains constrained by persistent clientelism, limited institutional capacity, and cultural resistance. This study contributes to the theoretical discourse on Weberian bureaucracy, New Public Management, and good governance by confirming that the implementation of the merit system in developing countries constitutes a political–cultural transformation that requires fundamental changes in political incentive structures, institutional capacity, and organisational values. Managerial implications include strengthening independent oversight, making substantial investments in institutional capacity, accelerating inclusive digital transformation, and implementing systematic change management programs to expedite the transition toward a performance-based bureaucracy that is professional and integrity-driven in support of Indonesia’s Golden Vision 2045

This article examines the role of bureaucratic digitalisation in advancing good governance in post-New Order Indonesia based on a narrative literature review. Employing an integrative framework that connects Good Governance theory, E-Government, Digital Era Governance, and Institutional Theory, this study analyses literature published between 1998 and 2024 drawn from academic journals, policy documents, and national–international institutional reports. The findings indicate that, although Indonesia has achieved notable progress in digital regulation and infrastructure, reflected in the adoption of SPBE and the increase in the EGDI from 0.3690 (2012) to 0.6612 (2022), implementation continues to face severe structural and institutional constraints. Five key themes emerge: progressive policy development yet uneven implementation; a transparency paradox between rhetoric and practice; severe interregional digital divides; institutional resistance rooted in patrimonial administrative culture; and the ambivalent effects of digitalisation on public service quality. This study concludes that the digitalisation of bureaucracy has not fundamentally transformed good governance due to an excessive emphasis on technological solutions in the absence of institutional and cultural reconfiguration. Policy recommendations include contextual strategies based on local capacity, sustained investment in civil servant capacity building, and reforms to bureaucratic incentive structures. This study contributes to the e-government literature in developing countries by providing a critical analysis of the persistent gap between policy adoption and actual implementation.

Hospital Information Systems (HIS), or Sistem Informasi Rumah Sakit (SIRS), play a critical role in enhancing administrative efficiency, decision support, and healthcare service quality. However, their implementation and effectiveness vary significantly across healthcare settings, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aims to systematically evaluate the existing literature on HIS effectiveness, implementation barriers, and administrative impact. Using a PRISMA-based Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, we examined 14 high-quality studies from multiple scholarly databases including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Garuda. The review applied a hybrid thematic synthesis grounded in HOT-FIT and DeLone & McLean models, combined with a normalized quality scoring system. The findings reveal that HIS implementations positively influence administrative workflow, billing accuracy, and patient throughput, though outcomes are context-dependent. Key challenges include lack of interoperability, resistance to change, and insufficient training. Notably, regulatory mandates and national digital health policies were found to significantly enhance HIS adoption and sustainability. This review contributes a multidimensional synthesis of HIS performance, highlighting the importance of human, organizational, and policy alignment. It offers an evidence-backed framework for HIS evaluation that bridges theory and practice. We conclude that integrated, context-sensitive HIS models are essential for advancing hospital management and public health systems, and recommend further empirical studies on long-term impact and cross-sector integration.

Foundations are structural elements that play a crucial role in ensuring the stability and safety of buildings; therefore, understanding soil characteristics and stratification is a critical stage in geotechnical design. This study aims to analyze soil characteristics and stratification using Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data as a basis for determining safe and efficient foundation depth. The research method employed a quantitative–descriptive approach utilizing CPT test data obtained from two test points at the research site in Blitar City, East Java. The analyzed parameters include cone resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), and friction ratio (Rf), which were recorded continuously with depth in accordance with ASTM D3441-86. The results indicate that the shallow soil layer up to a depth of approximately 2.0 m is dominated by fine-grained soils with low qc values and high Rf values, making it unsuitable as a foundation bearing layer. The soil layer with the most favorable mechanical characteristics was identified at a depth of approximately 5.5–6.0 m, characterized by high and relatively stable qc values and low Rf values, indicating dense coarse-grained soil. Variations in the depth of hard soil layers between test points suggest lateral variability in subsurface conditions. These findings confirm that CPT data are effective for identifying soil stratification and providing preliminary recommendations for foundation depth in geotechnical planning.

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has a number of favorable characteristics, such as reproducing easily, rapid growth, resistance to sub-ideal environmental conditions, and survival in high salt water.

The method used in this research is the literature study method and direct testing in the field. From the results of this test, the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data from 1 test point was processed and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2019 software. The results of data processing and analysis were the maximum cone pressure (qc) value and the maximum number of sticking resistances (JHP), namely 650 kg/cm at a depth of 12.60 meters and 2496.00 kg/cm² at a depth of 15.00 meters. The maximum friction ratio (Rf) of 0.11% is at a depth of 14.00 meters, while the maximum Sticking Resistance Pressure (fs) value of 110 kg/cm² is at a depth of 14.00 meters.    

The use of antibiotics can cause drug resistance if their use is not appropriate, so alternative treatment from plants is needed, one of which is soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.). Chemical substances contained in soursop leaves can prevent development until they can kill bacteria, one of which is flavonoids. The purpose of this study was to determine whether soursop leaf methanol extract (Annona muricata L.) at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and can determine at what concentration soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata L.) can effectively inhibit Staphylococcus aureus. The simplisia extract was done by maceration strategy using methanol as a solvent. The antibacterial testing method uses the disc diffusion method and uses clindamycin as a positive control and distilled water as a negative control. The results showed that Annona muricata L. extract can provide antibacterial action at concentration variants of 25%, 50% and 75% which is characterized by the presence of transparent areas with an average diameter of 8.97mm, 11.36 mm and 13.3mm respectively with positive control with a diameter of 23.25 and negative control with a diameter of 0 mm. Soursop leaf methanol extract (Annona muricata L.) is able to suppress the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with the most effective concentration variant of 75%.    

This paper seeks to analyze the Black Lives Matter social movement that emerged from the anxiety of the American people towards various acts of racism that were rampant and even carried out by state officials. One of the most crowded cases was in 2018 when the arrest of George Floyd, who is black, experienced acts of violence committed by white police officers. Black Lives Matter began to emerge in 2013, becoming a form of community resistance that was initially initiated by three women from the black community who had a mission to eradicate white supremacy and build strength to overcome the rampant discrimination felt by the black race. The paper is wrapped in new social movement theory to help the author describe how Black Lives Matter became a small social movement that later went global and influenced political conditions in the United States.
