Health financing is a subfield of health economics, where it refers to the amount provided by people at the individual, family, and community levels from public and private sources. The public and non-public sectors that work together to fund health care initiatives are all committed to improving health services and society as a whole. From the source of health financing, its implementation is directed at several main things, namely eliminating cost barriers to obtaining health services, equity in access to services, increasing efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation (resources) and adequate and acceptable service quality for service users. By making the implementation of the Social Health Insurance program and other private programs, health financing is more efficient and affordable for the community.

This research aims to analyze the implications of global political economy policies on women's empowerment in developing countries, especially in terms of access to economic resources, education, employment, and political participation. The research uses a literature review method by collecting and analyzing various academic references and relevant public policies to provide a comprehensive understanding of gender issues in the context of globalization. The results show that despite the existence of various affirmative policies such as women's quotas in parliament and economic programs for women, their implementation still faces various structural barriers, including patriarchal culture, limited resources, and low participation of women in decision-making. Other challenges include unequal access to education and training, and social stereotypes that hinder women's advancement. Proposed strategies include integrating gender analysis in policy formulation, increasing women's participation in strategic positions, strengthening regulations that protect women's rights, and gender-sensitive international cooperation. This research confirms the importance of a collaborative and sustainable approach involving various stakeholders to realize inclusive women's empowerment and real gender equality in developing countries.

The digitalization of healthcare services has emerged as a pivotal catalyst in modernizing Indonesia’s health system, delivering enhanced efficiency, accessibility, and integrated service quality. This study employs a qualitative literature review approach to explore the implementation of digital transformation strategies in hospitals, with a particular emphasis on ethical challenges and patient data security. The findings reveal that the adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and telemedicine accelerates service delivery and broadens medical outreach, especially in remote areas. Nevertheless, critical issues arise concerning the vulnerability of health data to breaches, misuse, and cyber threats, exacerbated by uneven digital infrastructure and limited technological literacy among healthcare professionals. Proposed strategies include strengthening data protection regulations, improving human resource capacity, and fostering cross-sectoral collaboration to establish a secure and ethical digital healthcare ecosystem. Through comprehensive management of these challenges, healthcare digitalization is expected to expedite the achievement of SDG 3 and bolster public trust in the national health system.

This study examined efforts to optimize the functions and roles of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Pemalang Regency in overseeing policies related to the use of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). The optimization focused on strengthening the oversight mechanisms, enhancing the technical capacity of the DPRD, and improving inter-institutional coordination to support accountable budget governance. The study was motivated by the persistent weaknesses in legislative oversight, as evidenced by various findings of budget irregularities, including overpayments, misuse of grant funds, and unilateral budget decisions by the executive. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through in-depth interviews with members of Commission C, the Budget Committee, and expert staff from the DPRD Secretariat, as well as through document analysis. The findings indicated that the implementation of DPRD’s oversight functions had followed formal mechanisms such as the evaluation of the accountability report (LKPJ) and the discussion of the General Budget Policy and Provisional Budget Ceiling (KUA-PPAS). However, the oversight had not been optimal due to limited access to information, insufficient technical capacity, and weak inter-agency synergy. The DPRD had formulated several optimization strategies, including internal capacity building, the use of digital information systems (SIPD), and strengthening coordination with the Audit Board (BPK) and the regional inspectorate. Therefore, optimizing the DPRD’s oversight function required systemic improvements encompassing institutional capacity, information transparency, and active public involvement in monitoring regional budgets.  

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Public Internet Program in Tanjungpinang City in supporting digital inclusion. Based on the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan document from the target of 100 points, only 34 public wifi points were realized. The evaluation was carried out using the theory of William N Dunn (2003), using six indicators, namely, effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation of 12 informants. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the program has been running but not optimal. This can be seen in the effectiveness indicator where the placement of access points is less strategic, because it is located in upper-class housing which generally already has its own internet access, then the network quality is less stable with the bandwidth provided of 20 Mbps through a scramble system where the ideal standard according to the IT perspective is 2 Mbps per user outside watching YouTube. In the efficiency indicator, from 2013-2023 the realization did not reach the target set at the beginning, then the lack of maintenance resulted in 8 internet points not working. The adequacy indicator has not been said to be optimal in meeting needs through value, opportunity, and method adjustment as evidenced by the fact that there is no national standard as a reference in program implementation and unclear location data collection. In the equity indicator, there is a mismatch in infrastructure facilities, small areas have not been reached, and there is 1 location point that is locked. The responsiveness indicator is good, but there is still low participation from the community. Finally, the accuracy indicator is directed towards the community, but the implementation is not in accordance with the needs, and has not reached the initial target.

The advancement of information technology has influenced judicial institutions to integrate digital systems into administrative and courtroom processes. The Kraksaan Religious Court has adopted the e-Court platform to enhance judicial service effectiveness and accessibility. This study evaluates the implementation of e-Court at the Kraksaan Religious Court, focusing on its impact on judicial efficiency, encountered challenges, and optimization efforts. Using a qualitative approach with interviews, observations, and document studies, the findings indicate that e-Court has streamlined case administration, improved time efficiency, and reduced costs for justice seekers. However, challenges such as limited technological infrastructure and low public awareness hinder its full potential. This study recommends strengthening public outreach, providing training, and improving technological infrastructure to optimize e-Court implementation at the Kraksaan Religious Court.

This research is conducted using the normative juridical method and aims to analyse the impact of the enactment of the Perppu on the regulation of non-minimum authorised capital in the establishment of a limited liability company. The Perppu on Job Creation changes several important aspects of the Limited Liability Company Law, including the elimination of the minimum authorised capital requirement. While these changes are intended to ease the establishment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM) and adapt to economic and technological developments, there are concerns regarding their impact on creditor protection and public confidence in limited liability companies established without clear authorised capital. The results show that the lack of clarity regarding authorised capital may negatively impact the company's credibility, access to financing, and legal protection. This change can also reduce trust from external parties such as investors, creditors, and business partners, and create uncertainty among employees and management.

Non-Civil Servant Government Employees (PPNPN) are a vital component in the operational activities of an organization. However, their performance management faces challenges in efficiency and standardization. This scientific paper examines the potential implementation of Google Sites as a platform for PPNPN performance management. The analysis focuses on the existing regulatory framework. The proposed model leverages the integration of Google Sites with Google Forms, Google Sheets, and other supporting applications provided by Google to digitize the performance management cycle, from planning, monitoring, and evaluation (based on indicators such as integrity, discipline, teamwork, communication, and service), to documentation and feedback. The main advantages of this platform include administrative efficiency, increased data transparency and accessibility, centralized data management, potential for consisten process, collaboration, and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, its implementation faces significant challenges related to the digital literacy gap among PPNPN with diverse roles, data security and privacy issues in the public sector, the need for robust change management, feature limitations compared to specialized HRIS systems, particularly in the Ministry of Finance where the research object's office is located, and the necessity for adequate supporting infrastructure. This research concludes that Google Sites offers a technically viable solution, but its success highly depends on the organizational and human resource readiness of both the HR managers and the PPNPN themselves.

This study explores the issue of slum settlements in Ledhok Timoho Village, located along the banks of the Gajah Wong River in Yogyakarta. The area faces complex social, economic, legal, and environmental challenges, mainly due to the legal uncertainty of Sultan Ground land where many residents live. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was applied. The findings reveal that unclear land ownership hinders residents’ access to public services and decent housing. Local initiatives such as TAABAH have been instrumental in advocating for residents’ rights, yet structural limitations persist. The study recommends implementing long-term residential concession schemes, replicating the livable village model through community participation, revitalizing basic infrastructure, and integrating human rights-based and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approaches. An inclusive and collaborative strategy is essential for slum settlement upgrading that is sustainable, equitable, and respectful of human dignity.

This study analyzes the implementation of an integrated information system in public services at the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Deli Serdang, particularly in the process of managing regional taxes. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the implementation of the integrated information system provides significant benefits in improving service efficiency, transparency, and taxpayer compliance. However, several challenges such as public digital literacy, data security, and resistance to change remain obstacles in its implementation. Therefore, solutions such as education, strengthening cybersecurity, and human resource training need to be applied to ensure the sustainability of this system. With continuous development, the integrated information system is expected to enhance the effectiveness of government administration and overall community welfare. The integrated information system implemented at Bapenda Deli Serdang also provides various conveniences, including integration with banks and financial institutions that accelerate the tax payment process and allow for real-time monitoring and evaluation of tax revenues. Additionally, the available digital public information services make it easier for the public to access information related to taxes and levies in a more transparent manner. Thus, the application of technology in this system not only increases efficiency but also contributes to improved tax compliance and the optimization of regional revenue.

The purpose of this study is to examine the service quality of PT. Pos Indonesia (Persero), Sukamerindu Branch, Bengkulu City. The method used is descriptive and qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.

This study evaluates the Mobile Samsat Car Program in North Surabaya using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model to assess the program's effectiveness in improving motor vehicle tax services. A qualitative method was applied, involving observation, interviews, and documentation analyzed descriptively. The context evaluation revealed that the program emerged due to the rising number of vehicles and limited public access to the main Samsat office. The input analysis showed limitations in human resources, operational vehicles, and service facilities, which hinder the delivery of inclusive public services. In the process aspect, the program showed commendable efforts in reaching the public, but coordination issues among agencies and lack of public outreach led to low participation. Regarding the product, the program has yet to significantly enhance taxpayer awareness and compliance. Overall, the CIPP evaluation indicates that while the Mobile Samsat Car Program is a relevant innovation responding to public needs, it still faces several implementation and outcome challenges. To optimize its impact, improvements are needed in resource availability, service processes, and public education strategies. With continuous development guided by evaluation findings, the program holds strong potential to offer effective, accessible, and efficient tax services across all social levels in Surabaya.

As the world’s largest archipelagic state, Indonesia holds a strategic geographical position that simultaneously renders it vulnerable to multifaceted maritime security threats. One of the most pressing recent issues is the construction of a coastal barrier (pagar laut) along the Tangerang coastline in Banten Province, which has raised significant legal, social, and environmental concerns. This study examines the legality of such structures through the lens of international maritime law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982. Employing a normative legal approach and qualitative analysis, this research assesses both national and international legal instruments relevant to maritime space governance. The findings indicate that the unauthorized construction of the coastal barrier violates several national regulations namely, laws governing coastal management, marine utilization, and environmental protection while also infringing upon core UNCLOS principles such as the right of innocent passage, freedom of navigation, and marine environmental protection. This study underscores the urgent need for integrated national maritime governance, regulatory harmonization, and cross-sectoral coordination to ensure compliance with international legal standards and safeguard public access to marine spaces. The Tangerang coastal barrier case exemplifies the rise of non-traditional maritime security threats in Indonesia, calling for more assertive and structured legal and policy responses.

This research examines the implementation of the principle of openness in the examination of cases in civil court proceedings in Indonesia, focusing on two main issues: (1) how the principle of openness is regulated and applied in civil court practices, and (2) what key obstacles hinder the implementation of this openness. The purpose of the study is to provide an in-depth overview of the mechanisms for implementing the principle of openness in the civil judicial process and to identify inhibiting factors that need to be addressed promptly in order to make the judicial system more transparent and accountable. This study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data were obtained through literature review, including legislation, legal doctrines, and relevant court decisions, and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the principle of openness is well accommodated normatively within Indonesia’s civil judicial system; however, its implementation still faces significant challenges, such as limited supporting facilities, inadequate dissemination among judicial officers, and the tension between protecting the privacy of parties and ensuring public access to information. To address these issues, improvements in technological infrastructure, human resource training, and internal policy revisions are essential steps to optimize the principle of openness in civil court proceedings.

The abolition of the National Examination (UN) as a national policy has marked a significant change in the education evaluation system in Indonesia. This policy was implemented with the aim of reducing psychological pressure on students and replacing it with a more holistic evaluation approach through the National Assessment (AN). However, this transformation has raised various issues, particularly regarding the aspects of equity and accountability in education quality. This study aims to analyze in depth the impact of the abolition of UN on the quality of educational evaluation by examining its implications for equitable access, fairness, and accountability systems at both national and local levels. This research uses a qualitative method with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, analyzing various scholarly literature sources and relevant policy documents published between 2020 and 2024. The findings indicate that although the UN was abolished with the intention of promoting fairness and reducing academic stress, the implementation of AN has yet to ensure equitable implementation of educational evaluations across regions. Moreover, the absence of a standardized, open, and quantitative evaluation indicator such as the UN has weakened transparency and accountability in education, both in the public's perception and in policy-making processes. Therefore, a new evaluation system is needed—one that is not only diagnostic in nature but also ensures data transparency, equitable access, and strengthened public accountability functions in education.

The implications of this study underscore the importance of continuous innovation and adaptability to market dynamics in maintaining business relevance and sustainability.

Economic development in today's world has grown rapidly, leading to numerous changes in human life. By investing in the capital market, it becomes one of the alternatives for financing the community's economy and is easily accessible to the public. One of them is to invest in bond securities in issuer companies. However, by purchasing bonds in the capital market with the issuer company, in addition to providing benefits through interest rates, there are risks, including if the issuer company goes bankrupt. Under these conditions, the holder of the unsecured bond will be positioned as a concurrent creditor, whose repayment is made after the separatist and preferred creditor. Although not guaranteed collateral, bondholders still obtain legal guarantees of their rights through information disclosure, the role of trustees, and arrangements within the applicable legal framework.
