This study aims to examine the effect of village apparatus capacity on accountability in village fund management, with the village financial system (SISKEUDES) as an intervening variable in Letti District, Southwest Maluku Regency. The research assessed whether the competence, knowledge, and administrative ability of village officials can improve transparent and accountable fund management. This study employed a quantitative approach using a saturated sampling technique, involving all 42 apparatus members as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and the Sobel test to examine direct and indirect effects. The findings show that village apparatus capacity has a positive effect on village fund management accountability. This indicates that human resource capacity can support responsible planning, implementation, reporting, and evaluation of village funds. However, the village financial system does not significantly affect village fund management accountability. In addition, SISKEUDES does not function as an intervening variable in the relationship between village apparatus capacity and accountability. These results imply that strengthening human resource capacity remains more decisive than system use.

This study examines the transportation management flow at PT Xpresindo Logistik Utama Medan Warehouse and its impact on delivery accuracy. The research method used a qualitative approach through direct observation and interviews with warehouse managers and operational staff. The results showed that the distribution flow from receiving goods from Jakarta to shipping to customers in Medan was quite effective, although it was still dominated by manual systems such as the use of Delivery Notes and Excel records. The use of the Monstra tracking application was not evenly distributed, so fleet movement information was not always updated in real time, especially when demand volume increased at the end of the month. To improve efficiency, the study recommended the implementation of a Transportation Management System (TMS), digitalization of barcode/QR code-based inventory processes, and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboard to monitor delivery timeliness and fleet utilization periodically.

Preeclampsia remains a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Early detection and integrated management at the primary healthcare level are essential to prevent disease progression and improve maternal outcomes.  Modifiable risk factors such as maternal obesity, inadequate calcium intake, and poor clinical management contribute significantly to disease progression (WHO, 2021; Zhang et al., 2020). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an Integrated Maternal Health Model (IMHM) combining risk assessment, nutritional intervention, and clinical management for early prevention and control of preeclampsia in primary healthcare settings. A quasi-experimental cohort study was conducted among 104 pregnant women, consisting of 52 preeclamptic and 52 normotensive participants in community health centers in Medan, Indonesia. Data were collected across four antenatal visits, including blood pressure measurements, proteinuria (dipstick), calcium intake, supplementation adherence, and antihypertensive therapy. Statistical analyses included bivariate and longitudinal tests. The results showed that maternal obesity, history of preeclampsia, and hypertension were significant risk factors. Adequate calcium intake demonstrated a protective effect against preeclampsia (p < 0.05), consistent with recent evidence indicating that calcium supplementation can reduce the risk of preeclampsia by up to 49%. However, calcium supplementation did not significantly influence blood pressure among normotensive pregnant women. Antihypertensive therapy, particularly intensive nifedipine regimens, showed significant differences in blood pressure patterns across visits (p < 0.05). In addition, proteinuria levels significantly decreased over time (p < 0.001), indicating improvement in renal function. In conclusion, the IMHM is effective in improving maternal outcomes through a multi-component approach integrating clinical, nutritional, and monitoring strategies. This model provides a practical and scalable framework for early prevention and management of preeclampsia in primary healthcare settings.

Melasma is a chronic acquired hyperpigmentation disorder affecting sun-exposed facial areas and associated with ultraviolet exposure, hormonal influences, and genetic predisposition. This review aims to describe the mechanisms of action, effectiveness, and safety of topical depigmenting agents in melasma management. Hydroquinone remains the traditional gold standard through tyrosinase inhibition, while triple-combination therapy with retinoids and corticosteroids demonstrates superior reduction in Melasma Area Severity Index scores compared with monotherapy. Non-hydroquinone agents such as tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, niacinamide, cysteamine, and thiamidol show comparable efficacy with improved tolerability. Common adverse effects include erythema and irritation, with rare ochronosis linked to prolonged hydroquinone use. In conclusion, individualized multimodal strategies with strict photoprotection are essential for effective and sustained melasma control.

Atrophic rhinitis or ozena is a chronic infection of the nasal cavity characterized by progressive atrophy of the nasal mucosa and turbinate bones accompanied by the formation of foul-smelling nasal crusts. This condition is more commonly found in females, particularly during puberty, and is frequently associated with populations of low socioeconomic status and poor environmental sanitation. The exact etiology of atrophic rhinitis remains unclear; however, several factors are believed to contribute, including chronic infection by *Klebsiella ozaenae*, vitamin A and iron deficiency, chronic sinusitis, hormonal imbalance, collagen diseases, trauma, and genetic predisposition. Common clinical manifestations include nasal obstruction, thick greenish nasal discharge, crust formation, epistaxis, anosmia, and *foetor ex nasi*, which is often more noticeable to people around the patient. Anterior rhinoscopy typically reveals widened nasal cavities, turbinate atrophy, thin and dry nasal mucosa, as well as purulent secretions and greenish crusts. Diagnosis is established through history taking, ENT physical examination, and supporting investigations such as microbiological culture, histopathological examination, radiological imaging, and paranasal sinus CT-scan. Management may be conservative with antibiotics, nasal irrigation, nasal drops, vitamin A supplementation, and iron preparations, or surgical in severe cases or those unresponsive to conservative therapy.

This study evaluates the management audit of the procurement of goods and services for the 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) project managed by BAKTI Kominfo, with a primary focus on compliance with applicable regulations, the effectiveness of internal controls, and deviations at various stages of procurement. A qualitative approach was used, with analysis of documents, official news, and investigative audit findings from BPKP. The results indicate that the project procurement did not comply with Presidential Regulation No. 16 of 2018 and BAKTI Director Regulation No. 7 of 2020, with findings including tender manipulation, weak contract verification, and low levels of transparency. The planning process was also unsupported by adequate feasibility studies, while weak internal oversight exacerbated tender rigging and fund disbursements without proper verification. This study emphasizes the need for improvements in internal oversight, strengthening control mechanisms, and the implementation of e-procurement systems to enhance transparency and accountability in public procurement.

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is a relevant instructional approach in vocational education because it emphasizes authentic learning experiences and competency development aligned with industry needs. However, its implementation is often limited to pedagogical practices and has not been systematically integrated with educational management functions.

The research employed a qualitative literature review approach by examining national and international journal articles, academic books, and educational policy documents related to project-based learning, vocational education, and educational management. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through categorization, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings reveal that the successful implementation of PjBL is influenced by competency-based planning, effective organization of learning resources, authentic project implementation, and continuous evaluation through authentic assessment. Institutional readiness, teacher competence, digital technology, and industrial partnerships also contribute significantly to the sustainability of PjBL implementation in vocational education.

Integrity is a fundamental value in realizing clean, transparent, and accountable public sector governance. Various integrity assessment instruments have been implemented in the public sector in Indonesia, such as the Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Integrity Zone (ZI) by the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), and IntoSAINT developed by INTOSAI. However, all three still have limitations. This study aims to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of these three instruments and develop an alternative assessment tool, the Integrity Assessment Tool (IAT), which can be an alternative choice to the integrity assessment model in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach through literature studies and analysis of integrity policy documents, with a theoretical foundation of the OECD Integrity Framework and the Anti-Bribery Management System (SNI ISO 37001). The results show that the Integrity Assessment Tool is able to assess organizational integrity comprehensively and objectively through four main dimensions: history, performance, potential, and perception. This approach integrates quantitative, qualitative, and psychometric aspects to produce a more accurate and sustainable picture of the integrity position of public sector organizations. Theoretically, this research enriches the study of public sector integrity management, while practically, it provides guidance for government agencies in building a measurable, systematic, and sustainable integrity evaluation system as a basis for establishing a national model for integrity assessment.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing an application-based water payment system as a strategy to reduce consumer arrears. Payment delinquency remains a significant challenge in the management of water utility services, often driven by low payment discipline, limited access to transaction channels, and the inefficiencies of conventional manual systems. Employing a quantitative approach, this research utilizes comparative data collected before and after the implementation of the digital payment application, supported by statistical analysis to measure changes in consumer payment compliance. The findings indicate that the adoption of an application-based payment system has a substantial positive impact on reducing arrears, as reflected in increased payment timeliness and a decline in the number of delinquent consumers. Features such as ease of access, automated notifications, and transparent billing information are proven to enhance consumer compliance behavior. These results underscore that the digitalization of payment systems can serve as an effective solution for improving operational efficiency and supporting the sustainability of water utility services.

A Normocytic normochromic anemia is one of the most common types of anemia found in geriatric patients with chronic diseases or acute bleeding. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) may cause continuous blood loss resulting in decreased hemoglobin levels. This case report discusses a 72-year-old woman who presented to the Emergency Department of Cut Meutia Regional General Hospital with complaints of black stools for four days prior to admission accompanied by epigastric pain, nausea, weakness, and pallor. The patient had a history of long-term use of analgesic and anti-gout medications due to chronic joint pain, which was suspected to be a risk factor for UGIB. Physical examination revealed pale conjunctiva and tachycardia, while laboratory findings showed hemoglobin of 7.1 g/dL, hematocrit of 23.3%, MCV of 82 fL, MCH of 29 pg, and uric acid level of 11.56 mg/dL, leading to the diagnosis of normocytic normochromic anemia caused by UGIB accompanied by gout arthritis. The patient received intravenous fluid therapy, proton pump inhibitors, antifibrinolytic agents, gastroprotective therapy, packed red cell transfusion, and other supportive treatments. During hospitalization, clinical improvement was observed, including cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding, reduced epigastric pain, and increased hemoglobin level to 8.6 g/dL. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive management in geriatric patients with anemia caused by UGIB and comorbid gout arthritis.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Independent Board of Commissioners, Audit Committee, Family Ownership, and Voluntary Disclosure on Debt Costs in Basic Materials manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2021-2023. Using purposive sampling and multiple linear regression analysis, the results show that the Independent Board of Commissioners and Family Ownership have a negative and significant effect on debt costs, while the Audit Committee, measured by meeting frequency, has a significant positive effect, and Voluntary Disclosure has no significant effect. These findings indicate that increased independent supervision and family control can reduce debt costs, but a high frequency of audit committee meetings can create a greater perception of risk in the eyes of creditors. This study has important implications for management and regulators in improving the quality of corporate governance and supervision to reduce debt costs.
