Increasing police accountability and professionalism is critical in addressing abuses of authority within law enforcement institutions. These issues have become a major concern, especially when abuses undermine public trust and the integrity of law enforcement agencies. To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive approach that includes both preventive and repressive measures is necessary. Preventive efforts such as ethics education, professional training, and mental development programs are essential in cultivating a culture of integrity and professionalism within the police force. These initiatives help officers to better understand their responsibilities, adhere to ethical standards, and manage the psychological demands of their roles. On the other hand, repressive efforts, including law enforcement and the imposition of strict sanctions for violations, act as deterrents to unethical behavior. The effective enforcement of laws and policies is critical in holding officers accountable and ensuring that those who abuse their power are appropriately disciplined. Analyzing the implementation of ethics in police duties and the factors that either support or hinder both internal and external supervision is also necessary. By identifying weaknesses in the existing system, law enforcement agencies can better target areas that need reform. Furthermore, strengthening transparency within the police force and reforming the supervision system are crucial steps toward building public trust. Public participation in external supervision mechanisms is also a key factor. When citizens are actively involved in oversight, it fosters a sense of accountability and encourages police officers to act with more responsibility. In conclusion, by adopting an evaluation-based approach and pursuing reforms aimed at enhancing accountability and professionalism, police institutions can improve their effectiveness. These reforms will promote fairer, more transparent, and responsible law enforcement, ultimately leading to greater public confidence in the police and their ability to perform their duties justly.

Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension and signs of organ damage, with a multifactorial etiology involving maternal, genetic, and environmental interactions. This study aims to analyze determinants contributing to the occurrence of preeclampsia through a comprehensive literature review. The research method involved an in-depth analysis of 15 scientific journals, consisting of 8 national publications from Google Scholar and 7 international publications from PubMed, selected based on relevance, credibility, and publication date. Data from these sources were synthesized to identify common risk factors, biological mechanisms, and preventive measures. The findings indicate that the primary risk factors for preeclampsia include a history of chronic hypertension, obesity, gestational diabetes, nulliparity (first pregnancy), and a family history of preeclampsia. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly low calcium and vitamin D intake, are also significantly associated with increased risk. Furthermore, immunological factors such as abnormal maternal immune tolerance, as well as placental dysfunction leading to poor perfusion, play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The interplay between these factors suggests that preeclampsia is not caused by a single mechanism, but rather by a complex network of physiological, metabolic, and genetic influences. This complexity underscores the importance of early risk factor identification and intervention strategies during antenatal care. Preventive efforts may include nutritional supplementation, weight management, blood pressure monitoring, and targeted medical interventions for high-risk individuals. In conclusion, preeclampsia remains a significant contributor to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding its determinants enables healthcare providers to implement timely preventive measures and reduce its negative impacts on both mother and fetus. Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying these determinants, potentially paving the way for more effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Anemia is a common health problem among adolescent girls, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This condition is generally caused by insufficient iron intake, an unbalanced diet, and increased iron requirements during growth. Anemia not only impacts physical health but also affects concentration, productivity, and quality of life. Therefore, interventions based on nutrition education and the utilization of local food sources are crucial in sustainable anemia prevention efforts. One potential complementary therapy alternative is the consumption of herbal drinks based on moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). Moringa leaves are known to be rich in iron, vitamin A, and antioxidants that play a role in red blood cell formation. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of adolescent girls in utilizing moringa leaves as a natural source of iron. The target group is grade 10 and 11 female students at SMA Sejahtera Palembang, which was held in June 2025. The activity methods included a nutrition lecture on anemia and the importance of iron, an interactive discussion on the benefits of moringa leaves, and hands-on practice in making herbal moringa drinks (such as moringa leaf tea and moringa juice). The material was delivered using a communicative and participatory approach to actively engage participants. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the causes of anemia, the benefits of moringa leaves, and their willingness to consume herbal drinks as a preventative measure. Most participants also expressed interest in trying to make their own moringa herbal drink at home. This activity is expected to become part of school-based promotional and preventive efforts to address anemia in adolescent girls.

Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) are democratic processes conducted to elect Governors and Deputy Governors, Regents and Deputy Regents, as well as Mayors and Deputy Mayors. The General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) is the authorized institution responsible for overseeing the implementation of elections, including their various stages. Campaigning is an integral component of the election process, during which candidates utilize campaign props (Alat Peraga Kampanye/APK) to promote themselves to the public. In Lebak Regency, numerous violations have occurred regarding the installation of such props, underscoring the critical role of Bawaslu Lebak in ensuring compliance. This study aims to examine the authority exercised by Bawaslu Lebak Regency in supervising the installation of campaign props during the 2024 regional elections and to identify the challenges encountered. The research employs the theory of authority and the theory of supervision, using an empirical juridical approach and an analytical descriptive specification. Primary data supported by secondary data were obtained through interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that Bawaslu Lebak Regency implements both preventive and repressive supervisory measures. Preventive efforts include issuing advisories, conducting public outreach, and inter-agency collaboration, while repressive actions involve processing reports and findings of violations, as well as dismantling noncompliant campaign materials. The agency faces several obstacles, including low awareness among candidates and campaign teams regarding legal compliance, limited personnel for enforcement activities, resistance from various stakeholders, and the environmental issue of accumulated campaign waste.

Obesity is a growing global health issue affecting both developed and developing countries. Despite various preventive efforts, the prevalence of obesity continues to rise. One of the emerging approaches in managing obesity and its complications is by modulating gut microbiota balance. Gut microbiota plays a significant role in energy metabolism, inflammation regulation, and insulin sensitivity. An imbalance in gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, is frequently observed in obese individuals and has been associated with increased insulin resistance, a key feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aims to systematically review the relationship between gut microbiota imbalance and insulin resistance in obese patients, based on literature from 2016 to 2024. The literature search was conducted through accredited databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and others using the keywords “Gut Microbes,” “Insulin Resistance,” and “Obesity.” From 500 initial articles, 10 highly relevant journals were selected for further analysis. The review findings reveal a strong association between dysbiosis and increased insulin resistance through various mechanisms, including short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, activation of inflammatory pathways, and disruption of glucose metabolism. Several studies also suggest that interventions such as probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation may improve insulin sensitivity. However, more longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to establish a strong causal relationship. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining gut microbiota balance as a potential strategy in managing obesity and insulin resistance.

The increasing use of gadgets among medical students raises concerns about the health impacts, especially on sleep quality and eye health. Medical students have a high intensity of digital device use due to academic demands, which has the potential to cause excessive exposure to blue light (blue light), sleep disturbances, and eye fatigue (eye strain). This study aims to explore the relationship between the duration of gadget use with sleep quality and eye strain in medical students and to understand the factors that strengthen or weaken its impact. The research method used is qualitative descriptive based on a literature study by reviewing literature from scientific journals, books, and relevant documents. The results of the study showed that exposure to blue light can reduce melatonin production, disrupt circadian rhythms, and cause sleep disorders such as insomnia. In addition, long-term use of gadgets without sufficient rest increases the risk of digital eye strain, characterized by symptoms such as dry eyes, blurring, pain, and headaches. Medical students who are susceptible to intensive exposure to digital screens are at higher risk of this disorder. In conclusion, there is a strong interconnection between gadget use, sleep quality, and eye fatigue. Preventive efforts such as screen time management, use of blue light filters, and education about healthy visual habits are important to maintain the health and productivity of medical students.

One of the most important preventive efforts to protect children from sexual violence is sex education. The implementation of sex education is sometimes delayed or ignored because many people still misunderstand it as a method of education about sexual behavior. The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of providing sex education to children so that they can protect themselves from potential sexual exploitation. The approach used is a literature review of several books, scientific journals, and related policy documents. Based on the results of the study, children who do not receive sex education are more likely to experience violence, engage in inappropriate sexual behavior, and be exposed to misinformation from the media or their environment. It has been proven that appropriate sex education that is in accordance with the child's developmental stage helps children become more self-aware, understand their own body's limitations, and gain the ability to say "no" and ask for help. The conclusion of this study highlights that sex education is a form of early childhood education that involves the responsibility of parents, teachers, society, and government and does not explicitly teach sexual activity. The implications of this study indicate that integrated sex education from an early age can be a national strategy in preventing sexual violence against children.
