Illegal fishing is a form of maritime crime that threatens the sustainability of marine resources and causes significant economic losses for the country, particularly for coastal communities such as those in Natuna Regency. This activity not only harms the fisheries sector but also impacts food security, social stability, and the marine ecosystem. This study aims to examine in depth the surveillance strategy implemented by the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) in combating illegal fishing practices in Natuna waters. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through in-depth interviews and analysis of Bakamla's strategic documents. The theoretical framework used refers to the concept of strategy according to Fred R. David (2016), which includes strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. The results of the study indicate that Bakamla has formulated a surveillance strategy by relying on 24-hour sea patrols, utilizing technologies such as the Automatic Identification Sistem (AIS), radio communications, and satellites, and establishing cross-agency collaboration including the Indonesian Navy, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and local government officials. The strategy was implemented through rotating patrols, outreach activities for fishermen and coastal communities, and the establishment of a public reporting channel to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding illegal activities. However, the implementation of this strategy still faces obstacles, including limited operational budgets, inadequate patrol fleets, and suboptimal response to public reports. Evaluation of the monitoring strategy showed positive impacts in the form of increased public awareness and participation, as well as a decrease in cases of fish theft in several vulnerable areas. However, the level of public involvement in reporting and independent monitoring still needs to be increased so that the monitoring strategy can be more effective and sustainable in safeguarding the sovereignty of Indonesia's marine resources.  

The research titled "Analysis of the Effectiveness and Efficiency of the Use of the Parish Budget of the Holy Spirit Nelle" aims to analyze the level of effectiveness and efficiency in the use of the budget at the Holy Spirit Nelle Parish during a specific reporting period.

Corporate Governance and Cross-listing are considered crucial factors in promoting corporate transparency and accountability, particularly in sustainability reporting based on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. A strong governance structure is believed to enhance the quality of ESG disclosure, while Cross-listing serves as an external pressure that reinforces a company's commitment to global reporting standards. This study aims to examine the influence of board size, board independence, institutional ownership, audit committee size, and Cross-listing status on the quality of ESG disclosure. The research focuses on companies in the energy and basic materials sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period, using ESG data sourced from Bloomberg. The sample consists of 18 companies with a total of 73 observations selected through purposive sampling. Hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that board size, board independence, institutional ownership, and Cross-listing have a positive and significant effect on the quality of ESG disclosure. Conversely, audit committee size has a negative and significant effect. These findings indicate that both internal pressure through governance mechanisms and external pressure through Cross-listing on foreign exchanges play an important role in driving the quality of corporate ESG disclosure.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder common in women of reproductive age, characterized by insulin resistance (IR), anovulation, and hyperandrogenism, often leading to infertility. Metformin is the first-line therapy used. However, inositol, especially myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI), have shown promising therapeutic potential. Direct comparison and optimal efficacy of both still require a comprehensive review. Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of inositol (as monotherapy or in combination) compared with metformin, placebo, or no intervention, in improving reproductive, hormonal, and metabolic outcomes in women with PCOS. Methods: Conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted in Pubmed and Ebsco databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the last 10 years. Studies evaluating inositol and/or metformin in women with PCOS and reporting reproductive, hormonal, or metabolic outcomes were included. Study selection and data extraction were performed independently by five reviewers. Results: Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this review. Metformin consistently showed improvements in insulin resistance and androgen levels. Myo-inositol also demonstrated efficacy in improving metabolic and hormonal parameters, as well as reproductive outcomes, often with a better tolerability profile, especially as monotherapy. The combination of metformin and myo-inositol has shown potential improvements in some reproductive functions (such as live birth rate) compared to metformin alone in some studies. However, other studies have shown comparable or superior efficacy of myo-inositol monotherapy with fewer side effects. Adjuvant therapies such as dexamethasone or calcium/vitamin D have shown benefits in certain subpopulations. Conclusions: Both inositol (especially myo-inositol) and metformin have significant therapeutic roles in the management of PCOS. Metformin remains an important intervention for metabolic dysregulation and hyperandrogenism. Inositol appears to be an effective and often better tolerated alternative, with significant reproductive benefits. The choice of therapy should be individualized based on patient phenotype and treatment goals.

The suggestions put forward are: Law enforcement against counterfeit money distribution crimes must require a structured and comprehensive strategy. One important step is to increase the capacity of law enforcement officers, including the police, prosecutors, and judges, through special training on counterfeit money crimes. Improving digital forensic and counterfeit money detection capabilities, including the use of the latest technology. This increase in competence will help officers identify the perpetrators' modus operandi and speed up the investigation process. In addition, the formation of a special unit or task force that focuses on handling counterfeit money cases can also strengthen the effectiveness of handling cases in the field. Then community involvement in preventing counterfeit money circulation must be optimized through broad public education regarding the characteristics of genuine and counterfeit money and reporting procedures if suspicious money is found. This awareness campaign can be carried out through mass media, social media, and cooperation with educational institutions. In the digital era, the use of information systems and technology such as counterfeit money databases and money circulation tracking systems is also an effective solution. By involving all elements of government, law enforcement, financial institutions, and the community, law enforcement against counterfeit money distribution crimes can be more effective, fair, and have a long-term impact.

The problem of election violations in the form of money politics continues to be a challenge in the democratization process in Indonesia, including in Gorontalo Regency. Although regulations have been strictly regulated in Law Number 7 Year 2017, the implementation of law enforcement against money politics still faces various obstacles. This study aims to analyze the obstacles faced by law enforcement officials, especially the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), in taking action against money politics violations during the implementation of the General Election in Gorontalo Regency. This type of research is empirical juridical research, with a qualitative approach and using interview techniques with Bawaslu commissioners as the main data source. The main findings show that the main obstacles come from weak evidentiary instruments, a deeply rooted transactional political culture in the community, and Bawaslu's limited authority in the law enforcement process. In addition, the lack of public participation in reporting violations is a factor that contributes to weakening the effectiveness of law enforcement. The conclusion of this study confirms that the success of law enforcement against money politics is largely determined by the synergy between strong regulations, independent and professional supervisory institutions, and public political awareness. Therefore, it is recommended that strengthening the institutional capacity of Bawaslu, reformulating regulations regarding the proof of money politics violations, and increasing public political education be prioritized in the electoral reform agenda in the regions.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
