This study aims to analyze the investment policies in Semarang City, focusing on Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2014 and its execution by the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research applies the policy implementation theory by Edward III, examining four variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results show that despite significant efforts to promote investment, the policy implementation still faces various challenges. These include suboptimal communication between agencies, limited human resources (HR) capacity, and misalignment between regional regulations and newer national policies, such as the Omnibus Law and the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. Although Semarang City has great investment potential supported by adequate infrastructure, the realized investment has yet to meet the set targets. Therefore, this study recommends an optimization strategy that includes simplifying licensing procedures, enhancing the capacity of apparatus, harmonizing regulations across government levels, and integrating technology to improve transparency and ease of investment.

Container loading and unloading procedures are a series of essential operational activities carried out to systematically, safely, and efficiently move containers from ships to the stacking yard or vice versa. This study aims to examine these procedures, analyze the effectiveness of their implementation, and identify the obstacles and corrective efforts encountered in the field. The methods used include field observation (field research) and literature review (library research). The results indicate that the procedural stages involve document preparation (Bill of Lading and Manifest), ship berthing, the utilization of various loading and unloading equipment (such as Gantry Crane, RTG, and Headtruck), and container arrangement within the Container Yard (CY). The process involves three main work stages: Stevedoring, Cargodoring, and Receiving/Delivery, which require close coordination among port operators, foremen, and Stevedoring Workers (TKBM). Implementation can be hindered by crane breakdowns, headtruck limitations, traffic congestion, and slow stevedoring performance. Effective solutions suggested include routine equipment maintenance, increasing HT fleet capacity, enhancing human resource competency through training, and coordinating traffic routes with relevant authorities. Optimal procedure execution is crucial for ensuring smooth logistics flow, time efficiency, and occupational safety.

Community service activities carried out by the Faculty of Animal Husbandry lecturer team integrated with the Thematic KKN program from the Halu Oleo University Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) Year 2024 were carried out in Soropia Village, Soropia District, Konawe Regency. Introducing the technique of making hatching machines and how to operate them to the community in Soropia Village. This is intended so that farmers can understand new technology in the poultry farming industry which functions to replace the role of mothers in incubating eggs and is expected to increase livestock productivity more optimally. Service activities in Soropia Village were carried out in two stages. The first stage was observation by conducting documentation data collection methods and discussions with community leaders as stakeholders. The results of the discussion showed that most of the community's understanding of egg incubators was still limited. The second stage involved developing a solution by designing and manufacturing a hatching machine, including procedures for its operation. The output achieved in this activity is an increase in insight and knowledge about automatic egg hatching machine technology.

The amendment of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia is a crucial legal and political mechanism within the dynamics of constitutional law. An amendment is understood as an adjustment of constitutional norms to remain relevant with changing times while preserving the state’s fundamental identity. Unlike a constitutional replacement, which is comprehensive and signifies the birth of a new constitutional order, amendments are partial and limited. Article 37 of the 1945 Constitution sets out strict procedures, including requirements for proposal, quorum, and substantive limitations that cannot be altered, namely the form of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This mechanism prevents arbitrary changes and safeguards legal and political stability. The 1999–2002 amendments demonstrate that the Constitution can be improved without disrupting national continuity. Therefore, amendments are viewed as an evolutionary form of constitutional reform, while replacement signifies radical change. This analysis highlights that the amendment procedure of the 1945 Constitution is designed to balance the need for flexibility with constitutional stability in Indonesia.

This research will analyze the increase in judges' salaries and its impact on fair decisions for justice seekers. Furthermore, it also aims to analyze what aspects need to be considered to achieve the ideal goal of the criminal justice process so that judges' decisions can fulfill a sense of justice. The method used in this study is the normative juridical writing method using secondary data obtained through literature study. The results of the study indicate that with an adequate salary increase, judges can focus more on their duties to provide fair decisions and are not tempted by external factors that can affect their independence. In addition, there are several aspects that need to be considered so that the criminal justice process can produce decisions that fulfill a sense of justice, including decisions must be based on the principle of substantive justice, namely justice that considers the material aspects of the case, not just formal procedures. Then there is also consistent application of the law, transparency and accountability. And no less important is respect for human rights. Thus, increasing judges' salaries can be one effort to improve the quality of law enforcement and justice in Indonesia.

This study aims to find out the process of Family Card (KK) administration services and identify the obstacles faced in its implementation at the Ngaglik Village Office, Serengat District, Blitar Regency. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of village staff and communities who had managed KK, who were selected by purposive sampling. Data analysis is carried out through three main stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the administrative services of the family at the Ngaglik Village Office have been running quite optimally. This is shown by the existence of clear service procedures, good officer responsiveness, and the implementation of a digital system in the administrative process. However, there are still several obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of services, including the lack of initial information received by the applicant, the slow response of communication through digital media, and the limitation of supporting facilities such as technology devices and adequate service spaces. These findings show the need to increase service capacity through strengthening information systems, officer training, and providing more representative support facilities. This research is expected to be an input for the village government in developing administrative services that are more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the community.

Employee performance is not merely a benchmark stipulated by an organization; rather, it constitutes a pivotal determinant that substantially contributes to the attainment of corporate objectives and long-term sustainability. Superior performance illustrates the extent to which employees are capable of executing their designated responsibilities, which subsequently exerts a direct influence on organizational productivity, efficiency, and growth trajectory. Among the multidimensional variables affecting performance, two particularly salient aspects are work discipline and work motivation. Discipline functions as a regulatory mechanism that ensures adherence to established norms, policies, and operational procedures, while motivation operates as an internal drive that fosters persistence, engagement, and consistency in accomplishing tasks. Collectively, these two dimensions are assumed to exert a decisive influence on performance outcomes. The present study endeavors to examine the impact of work discipline and work motivation on employee performance within CV Arga Jaya, located in Depok City. Employing a quantitative research design, this investigation utilizes multiple linear regression analysis facilitated through SPSS version 27. The study encompasses a population comprising employees from both administrative and operational divisions, yielding a total of 43 valid respondents. Data were elicited through the administration of structured questionnaires as the principal instrument. The empirical results reveal that work discipline (X1) and work motivation (X2) simultaneously exert a significant influence on performance (Y), corroborated by an F-count of 6.38 exceeding the F-table value of 3.23 with a significance level of 0.004. Partial analysis indicates that work discipline (X1) has a significant positive impact, with a T-count of 2.377 surpassing the T-table threshold of 2.021. Conversely, work motivation (X2) demonstrates no significant partial effect, as evidenced by a T-count of 1.339 and a significance level of 0.188. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.242 suggests that 24.2% of the variation in performance is explained by these factors, whereas 75.8% is attributable to variables beyond the scope of this study.

Loan distribution at KSP Kopdit Pintu Air Kewapante Branch can be said to be quite effective if the distribution procedures are followed properly, credit risks are managed appropriately, and the impact on members is positive. It is important to continue to conduct regular evaluations and improvements to ensure that loan distribution continues to provide optimal benefits for members and the cooperative.

A country in its efforts to prosper the people requires a lot of money. For this reason, financial resources are needed to finance the state, which come from Customs levies and other legal levies. Smuggling crime is a serious problem in the administration of the state economy, this is because if smuggling increases with various physical, or administrative forms, it will result in more money not being collected by a country, thus hampering the targets set by the state through customs levies which are expected to increase every year. Legal smuggling is an act that aims to avoid the application of national law so that the person concerned obtains a certain benefit according to his wishes. This smuggling consists of two types, namely physical smuggling and administrative smuggling. Legislation regarding smuggling offenses is contained in Law Number 17 of 2006 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs. And the parties responsible and related to the field of customs and excise must be more selective in checking export and import goods entering or leaving Indonesia, because misuse of procedures or authority will have a major impact on state losses.

Disc discs are the main component in a motorcycle braking system that functions to convert kinetic energy into heat energy through friction. The geometric design of the disc, including the diameter and number of holes, affects the effectiveness of braking as well as the heat dissipation ability. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in diameter and number of holes on disc discs on braking distance and disc temperature. The research method used was an experimental method with three variations in disc diameter (190 mm, 220 mm, and 260 mm) and three variations in the number of holes (30, 36, and 42 holes). The test was carried out through a controlled braking procedure at an initial speed of 40 km/h on flat road surfaces with stable weather conditions. Braking distance data is measured using ultrasonic sensors, while disc temperature is recorded with a high-accuracy infrared thermometer. The results showed that the diameter of the disc disc had the most significant influence on the braking distance. The larger the diameter, the greater the braking moment resulting so that the stopping distance becomes shorter. The number of holes in the disc also plays a role in heat dissipation because the holes enlarge the heat dissipation area. However, the increase in the number of holes tends to slightly increase the braking distance due to a reduction in the area of frictional contact field. The most optimal configuration is found on a 260 mm diameter disc with 42 holes, which results in the shortest braking distance of 8.25 meters and the lowest temperature rise of 4.47°C.  Statistical analysis using Two-Way ANOVA confirmed that the diameter and number of holes had a significant effect individually, but there was no significant interaction between the two. These findings confirm that the selection of the right disc dimensions is critical to improving braking performance, thermal efficiency, and rider safety.

This community service activity aimed to control the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are the main vector of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), through the making and utilization of ovitraps in Sawa Village, Sawa District, North Konawe Regency. The methods applied in this program included field observation and door-to-door socialization to the community regarding the function, benefits, and procedure of making ovitraps. The socialization was designed to provide practical knowledge and raise awareness among residents about the importance of preventing mosquito breeding as part of DHF control efforts. A total of 30 households were involved as direct participants in this activity, and 30 ovitrap units were successfully made and distributed evenly to each household. The results showed that the community responded enthusiastically and expressed interest in adopting the ovitraps as a preventive measure. In addition, participants reported gaining new understanding about their active role in maintaining environmental health and reducing the risk of DHF transmission. The involvement of the community not only ensured that the ovitraps were effectively utilized, but also encouraged sustainable behavior in mosquito control practices. Overall, this program demonstrated that simple, low-cost, and community-based interventions such as ovitraps, combined with education and awareness campaigns, can contribute significantly to reducing the breeding sites of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and lowering the potential spread of DHF in endemic areas.

An autoimmune condition that targets the joints is rheumatoid arthritis. The joints and surrounding tissues are inflamed due to this disease. Symptoms of this arthritis include joint stiffness, edema, and persistent discomfort. Women are more likely to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis than men, especially those between the ages of 40 and 75. Chronic pain is a sensory or affective experience that lasts >3 months, has mild to severe intensity, and can begin suddenly or gradually. This is related to real or functional tissue damage. To minimize the chronic pain experienced by rheumatoid arthritis patients, this case study aims to assess the effectiveness of cutaneous stimulation, also known as skin stimulation (foot massage). The nursing care method provided to patients with rheumatoid arthritis who complained of discomfort during five morning sessions using skin stimulation therapy (Foot Massage) is described in this case study using descriptive methodology. The application questionnaire was used to measure pain levels before and after the procedure, and the Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain Scale (Raps) was used to evaluate the results. After five sessions, the patient's pain level decreased, according to the case study findings. Conclusion: Discomfort is reduced by applying cutaneous stimulation (foot massage). Since foot massage helps alleviate pain, it can be used as an intervention for RA patients experiencing chronic pain.

This study aims to explore the meaning of hospitality as experienced by front office employees of five-star hotels in South Kuta, Bali, using a phenomenological approach. As the frontline in guest interactions, the subjective experience of employees significantly influences service quality, guest satisfaction, and the hotel's image. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 18 informants, observation, and internal documentation. Data analysis followed a descriptive phenomenological procedure to produce rich contextual descriptions. The findings indicate that hospitality for front office employees is complex and influenced by both internal and external factors, including professional identity, emotional labor, and the quality of interpersonal relations with guests. Although existing theoretical frameworks are relevant, there are gaps between theory and practice in stress management and the effectiveness of compensation. Recommendations include the development of emotional training programs, non-financial rewards, and employee involvement in job redesign and retention strategies based on competence development. These strategies are expected to improve job satisfaction, service quality, and guest loyalty.

Labor is the process of expelling the products of conception, namely the fetus and placenta, after reaching full term and being viable in the womb. There are two types of delivery: normal delivery and caesarean section (SC). Caesarean section (SC) is a surgical procedure performed through an incision in the uterine wall to deliver the fetus. Caesarean delivery is indicate in cases of cephalopelvic disproportion, breech or transverse fetal position, fetal weight exceeding 4,000 grams, or maternal health conditions that may endanger the mother and fetus. One of the common complications following caesarean delivery is pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. An intervention that can be applied to reduce post SC pain is Guided Imagery Therapy. Guided imagery therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention aimed at reducing and controlling pain by creating pleasant and relacing thoughts, focusing on breathing, and visualizing positive scenarios. This study employed a descriptive case study design using the nursing process from assessment to evaluation. The study was conducted on two patients with moderate pain (pain scale 4-6) after SC at TK II Putri Hijau Hosiptal Medan. The results showed that after the application of guided imagery therapy for three days with a duration of 40 minutes per session, pain levels decreased to mild (pain scale 1-3). In ptient I, pain decreased from a score of 5 to 3, an in patient 2, from a score of 6 to 3. In conclusion, guided imagery therapy was successfully applied in reducing post -SC pain levels and can serve as a reference for further research on pain reduction following caesarean section.

This research explores the role of the Dinas Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu (DPMPTSP) of Tangerang City in implementing an online permit system for billboard advertising as a form of digital transformation in public service. The study aims to analyze the institutional role of DPMPTSP, identify obstacles in the implementation of online licensing, and evaluate the improvement efforts undertaken. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with DPMPTSP officials, billboard organizers, and permit applicants, complemented by observation and documentation to ensure data validity through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that DPMPTSP plays a strategic role by providing 24-hour online access, simplifying licensing procedures, and offering direct assistance through the Public Service Mall (MPP), supported by responsive communication channels such as WhatsApp and Zoom.
