The Bulusari Film Village Community possesses considerable potential as a community-based creative space, yet it continues to face limitations in technical film production skills and community management. This community engagement program aims to strengthen the community’s creative capacity and professionalism through training in scriptwriting, cinematography, production, and film editing, as well as reinforcing organizational management using the Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA) approach. The activities were implemented through five major stages, namely needs identification, formulation of alternative solutions, technical training, short film production mentoring, and strengthening of the community’s management system. The results demonstrate significant improvements in members’ technical competencies across all stages of film production, from pre-production to post-production. The community successfully produced a script and one short film with enhanced visual and narrative quality compared to their earlier works. In addition, the establishment of a new organizational structure, operational SOPs, and a simple administrative system effectively improved community governance. The program also broadened the community’s collaborative network with local government, educational institutions, and other creative groups. These findings indicate that PCA-based empowerment supports increased creativity, autonomy, and competitiveness among local creative communities in alignment with the SDGs, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Communities).

This research is entitled “Women’s Representation in Political (Analysis of the Low Number of Elected Female Legislative Members in the Sabu Raijua Regency DPRD in the 2024 Election).” The low representation of women in politics is a significant issue in various regions, including Sabu Raijua Regency. This study aims to analyse the low representation of women in politics and the factors that hinder women from becoming legislative members in the Sabu Raijua Regency DPRD in the 2024 elections using Gender Theory, which focuses on three derivatives of the theory, namely gender issues, gender ideas, and gender representation. The results of the study show that the obstacles faced by women are not only related to individual capabilities, but are also the result of social constructs influenced by gender issues, gender ideas, and gender representation. Women are often faced with domestic burdens, financial constraints, and a lack of training from political parties, which limits their political capacity. Patriarchal customs also reinforce the notion that men are more suitable for leadership, while women are seen as quota fillers. As a result, representation is more symbolic than substantial, as evidenced by the fact that only two women have won seats in the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), one of whom was through the PAW mechanism. Barriers include traditional norms, gender stereotypes, and social legitimacy; lack of support and strategy from political parties; and financial constraints and campaign capital.

Therefore, strengthening strategies are required through digitalization, training and certification, facilitation of MSMEs, and pentahelix synergy involving government, academia, business actors, communities, and the media. Through these measures, the implementation of the Tourism Law is expected to foster a tourism ecosystem that is competitive, inclusive, and sustainable at the local, national, and global levels.

Handling cases of domestic violence (KDRT) requires an approach that not only focuses on sanctions for perpetrators, but also on the comprehensive recovery of victims. One of the appropriate methods is restorative justice, which is focused on restoring social relations, psychological recovery for the victim, and the participation of all parties involved in the process of resolving the case. In this context, lawyers play a strategic role, not only as defenders of the law, but also as facilitators of a just and supportive restorative process for victims. This study aims to analyze in depth the role of lawyers in the implementation of restorative justice in domestic violence cases, as well as identify the challenges and opportunities faced in practice. The applied approach includes normative juridical and sociological with qualitative data analysis. The findings indicate that lawyers play a crucial role in ensuring victims ' rights are protected, providing trauma-sensitive legal assistance, and encouraging restorative agreements that do not harm victims. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of lawyers, the development of more comprehensive regulations, and cooperation between sectors to support the implementation of restorative justice that is efficient and in favor of victims of domestic violence.

This study discusses in depth the factors that cause and efforts to overcome the crime of trafficking in persons (TPPO) in the jurisdiction of the East Nusa Tenggara Police (NTT), which is known to have the highest number of trafficking cases in Indonesia. Using a juridical-empirical approach through interviews with nine resource persons consisting of law enforcement officials, women and child protection institutions, and the community, this study shows that although the substance of the law is quite adequate, its implementation is still weak and has not been able to cause a deterrent effect for perpetrators. Limited human resources, supporting facilities, and weak coordination between institutions are the main obstacles in the law enforcement process. Countermeasures are carried out through three main aspects, namely preemptive (counseling, socialization, and community economic empowerment), preventive (port supervision, formation of a monitoring team for illegal job vacancies, and cross-sector cooperation), and repressive (investigation, arrest, and legal process against perpetrators). This research also emphasizes the importance of increasing the capacity of the apparatus, synergy between agencies, and public education as sustainable steps in reducing the number of trafficking and protecting victims as a whole.

Ibnu Sina Yarsi Islamic Hospital Padang Panjang plays a crucial role in providing medical services to the community. However, challenges such as inadequate facilities, limited service space, and insufficient healthcare personnel have led to long queue times and schedule mismatches, adversely affecting patient satisfaction. This study analyzes strategies to improve service quality at the hospital using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving management, medical staff, and patients. Data validity was ensured by triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that strategies focusing on human resource development programs, performance-based budget management, and consistent application of standard operating procedures (SOP) have been implemented effectively. Despite this, limitations in human resources, budget, and physical infrastructure hinder optimal results. Strengthening internal capacity and resource optimization are necessary to achieve sustainable improvements in service quality.

The criminal justice system in Indonesia is very concerned about money laundering crimes that continue to grow along with technological advances and the complexity of modern economic crimes. This study examines in depth the legal provisions related to TPPU in Indonesia, which is based on Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes. This research aims to identify the role of prosecutors as law enforcers in applying elements of anti-trafficking at the investigation and prosecution stages, as well as to analyze various obstacles that arise in the evidentiary process in court. Using a normative juridical approach, this study utilizes literature analysis, court decision review, and evaluation of relevant legal provisions. The findings of the study show that proving preliminary crimes and the flow of funds from crimes requires public prosecutors to have a comprehensive understanding of money laundering mechanisms, including the placement, layering, and integration stages. In practice, prosecutors face various challenges, such as difficulties in tracing the origins of assets disguised through complex transactions, limited access to financial technology data, and lack of cooperation support between law enforcement and financial institutions. These obstacles often cause the proving process to be protracted and less effective. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of law enforcement officials, strengthen coordination between agencies, and use more optimal technology to support efforts to eradicate trafficking more effectively and comprehensively.

This research examines the implementation of the curator’s role in the bankruptcy process following the Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) based on Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations. The main objective of this study is to analyze the role, authority, and challenges faced by curators in carrying out their duties in accordance with Indonesia’s positive legal framework. This research employs a normative juridical approach combined with an empirical juridical approach, incorporating a review of legal literature, court rulings, and statutory regulations, as well as interviews with curators and supervising judges in commercial courts. The findings reveal that curators play a central role as administrators and liquidators of bankrupt estates, with the authority to inventory, secure, manage, and liquidate the debtor’s assets to protect creditors’ interests. Pursuant to Law Number 37 of 2004, curators are also responsible for overseeing the bankruptcy process, preparing reports, and ensuring that the distribution of liquidation proceeds is conducted transparently and equitably. However, the implementation of this role often faces obstacles such as limited curator competence and resources, external interference, the complexity of bankruptcy laws, and inadequate judicial supervision. This study emphasizes the importance of legal reform, professional capacity building, and the adoption of digital technology to enhance the effectiveness of Indonesia’s bankruptcy system. A professional, accountable, and integrity-driven curator is essential to achieving the fundamental objectives of bankruptcy law—ensuring fair, efficient, and transparent debt settlement for all parties involved.

This study is entitled "The Role of the Indonesian Transport Workers Federation (FSPTI) in Defending the Rights of Stevedoring Workers (TKBM) in Padangsidimpuan City". The background of this study is based on the importance of the existence of trade unions as a forum for workers' struggle in protecting and fighting for the normative rights of workers as guaranteed in Law Number 21 of 2000 concerning Workers' Unions/Labor Unions. In practice, many workers still face employment problems due to their weak bargaining position, lack of legal awareness, and low protection from employers. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the role of the FSPTI of Padangsidimpuan City in defending the rights of Stevedoring Workers, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of Law Number 21 of 2000 on the implementation of trade union functions at the regional level. The research method used is empirical juridical, with a qualitative approach that combines primary data through interviews, as well as secondary data through literature reviews of laws and regulations and related legal literature. The research results indicate that the Padangsidimpuan FSPTI plays a strategic role in advancing the interests of TKBM workers through advocacy, legal assistance, and negotiations with employers and local governments. However, the implementation of Law Number 21 of 2000 has not been fully effective due to challenges such as limited resources, low participant participation, and weak enforcement of labor laws. Overall, the FSPTI has made maximum efforts to advocate for the rights of TKBM workers, but further government support and organizational capacity building are needed to further optimize the union's function.

Outpatient services at community health centers experience a high and dynamic service burden influenced by evolving disease patterns in the community. However, the use of disease pattern data to support outpatient service management remains limited and is often restricted to administrative reporting purposes. This community service activity aimed to enhance the capacity of health workers and managers at Darussalam Community Health Center to utilize disease pattern data as a basis for managing outpatient service burden. A community-based participatory approach was applied through mentoring, training, and hands-on practice in data analysis using routine data from the Integrated Recording and Reporting System of Community Health Centers (SP2TP). The subjects of the activity were health workers and managerial staff at Darussalam Community Health Center. The results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ understanding and ability to analyze disease pattern data, reflected by an increase in average knowledge scores from a moderate to a high category. Behavioral changes were also observed, including increased data-based discussions, the emergence of internal change agents (local leaders), and the development of collective awareness regarding the importance of data-driven outpatient service management. This community service activity contributed to strengthening outpatient service management and fostering a data-driven work culture at Darussalam Community Health Center.

This study analyzes multi-stakeholder collaboration in innovation-based regional development planning at the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Sidoarjo Regency, emphasizing institutional mechanisms, data integration and digital innovation, joint financing schemes, and actor capacity and participation dynamics. The research focuses on the need to improve the effectiveness of development planning through planned, participatory, and data-driven intersectoral collaboration. Applying a qualitative case study approach, information was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of planning documents. It was then analyzed using data reduction, thematic grouping, and source triangulation techniques. The research findings indicate that institutional synergy has been realized through formal forums such as development planning meetings and group discussions. However, coordination remains suboptimal due to overlapping roles between regional government agencies and the lack of a sustainable collaborative mechanism. Digital data integration still faces challenges due to limited platform content and user technical capabilities, resulting in data utilization not fully supporting evidence-based decisions. In terms of financing, collaborative schemes have begun to be implemented but are inconsistent, particularly in combining funding sources from various sectors. The capabilities of actors show striking differences, which impact the quality of public engagement and the efficiency of facilitating the planning process. Overall, these results confirm that the effectiveness of innovative planning is largely determined by the integration of digital systems, strengthening collaboration between stakeholders, and enhancing institutional capacity. This study suggests designing a more organized, interactive, and long-term multi-actor synergy model.

This study aims to evaluate the actual sump capacity in accommodating mine water discharge, design a sump that fits field conditions, and determine the optimal pump capacity and system at PT Satria Alam Manunggal, Telen Orbit Prima Site. The research methods include field data collection (sump condition, water discharge, and pump capacity) and supporting data (rainfall, geological maps, and pump specifications). The design rainfall was calculated using the Gumbel method with a five-year return period, while water discharge was estimated from runoff, rainfall, and groundwater inflow. The results indicate that the existing sump, with a capacity of 508 m³, is insufficient to accommodate an inflow of 1.210 m³/s. Therefore, two new sumps were designed: the West Sump with a capacity of 38,400 m³ and the East Sump with 78,281 m³. Each sump employs a DnD 150-4H pump with a discharge rate of 480 m³/hour. The West Sump pump can drain water within approximately three days, while the East Sump requires about seven days. The trapezoidal sump design was chosen for its efficiency, structural stability, and effectiveness in sediment (TSS) deposition control, maintaining levels within safe limits. In conclusion, the design of the West and East sumps is considered optimal in accommodating mine water discharge and improving the overall effectiveness of the mine drainage system.

PT. Barito Bangun Nusantara is a company engaged in coal exploration and production activities, where the production is temporarily stored in a stockpile area before being processed or distributed. Stockpile management requires attention to several important factors, such as area design and stockpiling methods, so that storage runs effectively and does not cause a decrease in coal quality. This study was conducted on old and new stockpiles with the aim of analyzing the actual stockpiling conditions and providing technical recommendations regarding the ideal stockpile capacity and configuration. The research methods included field observation, primary and secondary data collection, and descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that both stockpiles experienced inefficiencies due to excess capacity. The actual tonnage reached 49,191.98 tons, exceeding the planned capacity of 35,000 tons, with a stockpile height reaching 9 m. This condition caused long stacking times and the FIFO system did not operate optimally. The study recommended an ideal stockpile capacity of 30,740.61 tons, with a maximum height of 8 m. The recommended angle of repose for the old stockpile is 30°, with a capacity of 11,542.19 tons, while for the new stockpile, it's 34°, with a capacity of 19,198.42 tons. This arrangement is expected to allow for a smoother unloading process and a more ideal stockpile.

Post-harvest handling of chili in Indonesia is still largely done manually, requiring a relatively long processing time and producing products with a non-uniform level of fineness. This condition impacts low production efficiency and the quality of processed chili. Therefore, the application of appropriate technology in the form of a chili flour machine is needed to increase production capacity and consistency. This study aims to analyze the effect of the number of blades and mesh size on the production capacity of a disk mill type FFC 15 chili flour machine. The research method used was an experiment with a factorial design, involving two variations in the number of blades, namely three and four blades, and three variations in mesh size, namely 0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 3 mm. Each treatment combination was carried out three times. The results showed that the number of blades and mesh size had a significant effect on the machine's production capacity. The best treatment combination was obtained by using four blades with a mesh size of 3 mm, which resulted in a production capacity of 6.84 kg/hour and a Composite Desirability value of 0.983. These results indicate that proper arrangement of machine components can increase the efficiency of post-harvest chili processing.  

Distribution transformers play a crucial role in delivering electrical energy from the distribution system to consumers to ensure power quality and supply continuity. However, in practice, overload conditions often occur due to increasing demand and load growth that exceed the transformer’s rated capacity. This situation can lead to reduced efficiency, increased power losses, and accelerated equipment aging. This study aims to analyze the performance of the CMY distribution transformer at PT PLN (Persero) ULP Labuan, which operates beyond its nominal capacity, and to propose an alternative solution through transformer mutation, namely the replacement of the existing unit with a transformer of more appropriate capacity based on load analysis results. The Least Square Method is employed to predict future load growth and determine the projected time when the transformer will again experience overload after the mutation. The results indicate that the existing 100 kVA transformer is overloaded and should be replaced with a 160 kVA unit. After the mutation, the loading percentage decreases significantly, the transformer’s lifespan is extended, and the reliability of the distribution system improves. Furthermore, the Least Square prediction suggests that the new transformer may experience overload again in future years if no further planning is carried out. Therefore, transformer mutation can be considered an effective and medium-term solution to enhance and maintain the reliability of the electrical distribution system within the operational area of PT PLN (Persero) ULP Labuan.
