This research is motivated by the importance of school fund management as a post-conflict education recovery strategy in Dili City, particularly at SMP Akadiru-hun, which faces challenges such as damaged facilities, limited teacher capacity, and weak financial governance. A literature review indicates that Post-Conflict Education Theory and Educational Financial Management Theory emphasize efficiency, priority, transparency, and accountability as the foundation for education system recovery. This study used a mixed methods approach, with quantitative data collected in the form of questionnaires from 20 respondents and qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews with four key informants. The descriptive statistical analysis showed an average score of 17.85 for the Education System Recovery and Strengthening Index. Efficiency and Priority of Fund Use was 17.45, and Transparency and Accountability of Fund Management was 18.75. Pearson correlation analysis showed a moderate positive relationship between Education System Recovery and Strengthening and Transparency and Accountability in Fund Management (r = 0.360). In contrast, the relationships between Education System Recovery and Strengthening and Efficiency and Priority of Fund Use (r = -0.014) and Efficiency and Priority of Fund Use and Transparency and Accountability in Fund Management (r = 0.056) were very weak and insignificant. Qualitative findings confirm that school fund management that follows government standard operating procedures contributes to post-conflict education recovery, although internal transparency still needs improvement. This study concludes that efficient, targeted, and accountable school fund management can be an effective strategy in post-conflict education recovery.

The Papua Special Autonomy Fund (Dana Otonomi Khusus Papua) represents a key instrument of Indonesia’s asymmetric fiscal decentralization aimed at reducing historical inequalities, accelerating regional development, and promoting social justice for Indigenous Papuans. However, after more than two decades of implementation, concerns persist regarding its effectiveness in producing equitable welfare outcomes, particularly with respect to accountability, targeting accuracy, and distributive justice. This literature review critically examines existing scholarly research on the governance, implementation, and impacts of Dana Otsus Papua, with an emphasis on how institutional arrangements shape policy performance and equity outcomes. The study employs a narrative–critical literature review enriched with systematic elements, including transparent search procedures, explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria, and thematic synthesis. Peer-reviewed journal articles and reputable conference proceedings were analyzed using thematic analysis and conceptual mapping to identify dominant findings, methodological approaches, and research gaps. The synthesis reveals recurring patterns across the literature. Accountability mechanisms remain fragmented and weakly integrated across planning, budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation processes. Targeting accuracy is inconsistent, with fiscal benefits frequently failing to reach Indigenous Papuans as intended. Moreover, distributive justice outcomes depend more on institutional recognition, participation, and governance capacity than on the size of fiscal transfers alone. The review also highlights a critical gap in integrative evaluations that link governance arrangements, implementation processes, and equity outcomes. The article concludes that improving Dana Otsus Papua requires a shift from expenditure-focused assessments toward governance- and justice-oriented evaluation frameworks. The study contributes theoretically by integrating accountability, implementation, and distributive justice perspectives, and offers practical insights for strengthening oversight, refining targeting mechanisms, enhancing participatory governance, and embedding digital tools within accountability systems.

This study aims to analyze bureaucratic transformation and public service innovation in the dynamics of the administrative capacity of the Dili City government, specifically at the Cristo Rei District Office, in realizing responsive, accountable, and quality public services. The research approach employed a mixed methods approach, collecting quantitative data through questionnaires from 12 respondents and qualitative data through in-depth interviews with four key informants: Fernando Araujo (District Head), Marciana de Jesus Soares (Head of Administration and Finance), Jose Sarmento (Head of Program Planning), and Ernesto Mendonça (Head of Public Relations). Statistical analysis showed that institutional capacity had a very strong influence on public accountability (r = 0.806; p = 0.002), while bureaucratic responsiveness had a very strong influence on the quality of public services (r = 0.727; p = 0.007). The interviews revealed concrete practices of bureaucratic transformation, such as effective internal coordination, orderly administrative procedures, one-stop service, and responsiveness to citizen needs. This study indicates that institutional capacity and bureaucratic responsiveness are the dominant factors in improving service quality, while formal accountability needs to be made more open and participatory. The findings support the Theory of Administrative Capacity and the New Public Service, and offer recommendations to strengthen participatory mechanisms and make performance evaluation more transparent.  

Effective communication through the SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) method is a crucial component in improving patient safety and the quality of nursing care. However, nursing students often fail to systematically implement SBAR communication during clinical practice. This community service project aims to improve students' SBAR communication competency through mentoring-based training with an experiential learning approach at RSU Haji Medan. The method used was a pretest–posttest design without a control group involving 15 nursing students. The intervention was carried out through the stages of reinforcing the SBAR concept, direct mentoring in the treatment room, and observation- and reflection-based evaluation. Competency was measured using an observation sheet covering the aspects of Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation, communication clarity, and self-confidence. The results showed an increase in the average score from 65.6 in the pretest to 83.8 in the posttest, with an average increase of 18.2 points and all participants experienced an increase (100%). These findings indicate that experiential learning-based mentoring is effective in improving students' SBAR communication competency. In addition to improving individual skills, this program also contributes to building a culture of professional communication and supporting patient safety in the hospital environment

Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi. Transmission can occur through air or food contaminated with the urine and feces of typhoid sufferers, such as air used for drinking, cooking, and washing food. Symptoms of typhoid fever include a prolonged high fever, defined as an elevated body temperature of >37.5°C. Other symptoms can include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, and headache. This study aimed to treat children with typhoid fever. The method used was a case study of a five-year-old child with typhoid fever who was hospitalized for four days. The results showed that the child had fever, obesity, and decreased appetite. The child's problem was hypothermia, while cooling interventions were used to manage hypothermia, and one of the cooling procedures performed was the application of aloe vera compresses. The evaluation results showed that the hyperthermia resolved after four days of hospitalization. Based on this study, it is hoped that patients and their families can independently apply aloe vera compresses to treat hypothermia in children.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between public policy paradoxes, healthcare service quality, access to and continuity of postnatal care, and maternal mortality in Pekalongan Regency. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, involving 30 respondents for quantitative analysis using Spearman correlation tests and 5 key informants for in-depth interviews. The results indicate that policy paradoxes are strongly correlated with service quality and with access and continuity of care. Service quality also shows a robust correlation with access and continuity. All variables are significantly associated with maternal mortality, with access and continuity of care demonstrating the strongest correlation. Qualitative findings reveal implementation gaps in Ministry of Health Regulation No. 21 of 2021, where postnatal visits are often conducted only 2–3 times instead of the mandated four visits, with 10 out of 13 maternal deaths occurring during the postnatal period. The persistence of maternal mortality is attributed to inconsistent implementation of standard operating procedures, high workload, and socio-cultural factors. The study highlights the need to strengthen supervision, enhance human resource capacity, and promote cross-sectoral collaboration to optimize postnatal care services.
