Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is an important plantation commodity that makes a significant contribution to Indonesia's economy. One of the macro nutrients that plays a role in supporting plant growth is potassium (K), which is involved in various physiological processes. The effectiveness of nutrient utilization is not only determined by the amount of fertilizer applied but also influenced by the application method, especially during the early seedling phase. This study aims to examine the growth response of oil palm seedlings to variations in KCl fertilizer doses and different fertilizer application methods during the pre-nursery phase. The experiment was arranged using a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two treatment factors, namely KCl fertilizer dose and fertilizer application method, each with three replications. The KCl doses consisted of five levels, while the application methods included watering, broadcasting, and localized application (pocket). The observation data were analyzed using analysis of variance and followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% level if there were significant differences. The results of the study showed that there was no interaction between the dose of KCl fertilizer and its application method on all observed oil palm seedling growth parameters.

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 aims to examine the relationship between occupational nutrition and employee productivity through a systematic literature review. The background of this research lies in the increasing attention to workplace health and the growing evidence that nutritional status can influence physical performance, cognitive function, and work outcomes. A total of 74 articles were initially identified from databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Garuda, of which 12 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed further. The findings indicate that adequate intake of macronutrients and micronutrients—particularly iron, protein, and B vitamins—correlates positively with productivity levels.

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.

The pretrial institution serves to regulate the use of coercive measures by authorized organizations during the investigation and prosecution stages. The establishment of this institution is a primary priority aimed at protecting the rights of suspects, particularly in cases involving unlawful arrest or detention, the termination of investigations and prosecutions, and other similar circumstances. However, several weaknesses remain in both the design and implementation of this institution within the judicial system, resulting in insufficient protection of human rights for suspects, despite its regulation under positive law, namely Law Number 8 of 1981. Efforts to safeguard the human rights of suspects during the investigation process constitute the main focus of this study, which examines the legal status of pretrial procedures within Indonesia’s criminal justice system, the challenges in their implementation as a means of protection, the effectiveness of pretrial rulings in this context, and their implications for subsequent investigations.

A land certificate serves as the strongest form of ownership evidence; however, conflicts over physical possession frequently occur, leading to legal uncertainty. This study examines the legal protection afforded to legitimate owners of land certificates whose land is unlawfully possessed by third parties. The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia guarantees and protects the rights of Indonesian citizens, including their rights to acquire, own, and enjoy land ownership. The research employs a normative juridical method by analyzing relevant laws and regulations, such as the Basic Agrarian Law Number 5 of 1960 and Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. The data sources used in this study consist of both primary and secondary materials. The main issues addressed include the form of legal protection available to land certificate holders whose land is unlawfully controlled by third parties, and the legal remedies that may be pursued by the rightful owners to reclaim their rights. The findings indicate that legal protection for land certificate holders can be implemented through both preventive and repressive measures. Preventive protection is achieved through a land registration system that ensures legal certainty, while repressive protection is pursued through dispute resolution mechanisms in court. These mechanisms are expected to safeguard the rights of landowners and ensure the realization of legal certainty in a fair and equitable manner.

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.

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.

Land registration is a crucial mechanism in realizing legal certainty over land rights, particularly land with ownership status (hak milik). The Basic Agrarian Law (Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria/UUPA) Number 5 of 1960 explicitly regulates land registration as an effort to provide legal protection and certainty of rights for landowners. The purpose of this study is to understand the procedures of land registration for ownership rights to ensure legal certainty for landholders, as well as to identify the obstacles encountered in the registration process that hinder the achievement of such certainty. This study employs a normative legal research method by examining primary and secondary legal materials. The research focuses on analyzing regulations related to land registration to provide legal certainty, in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) No. 5 of 1960 and its implementing regulations, such as Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. The findings of this study indicate that the procedures for land registration both sporadic and systematic (through the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program or PTSL) function to ensure legal certainty and protect ownership rights. However, several challenges arise in its implementation, including low public awareness, land disputes or overlapping ownership claims, limited resources at land offices, and financial and time constraints. Therefore, to achieve the intended objectives, improvements in the administrative system of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) are required, along with increased public awareness regarding the importance of land certification.

This study aims to identify research trends related to women's empowerment in the tourism industry over the past ten years, from 2014 to 2024. The method used in this study is qualitative, using a literature review approach. The data was collected through the Scopus database, which resulted in 117 publication documents that met the criteria in the period 2014 to 2024. Data analysis was carried out using the VOSviewer application. The results of the study show that there are 117 publication documents related to women's empowerment in the tourism industry. However, the topic of women's empowerment has not been explored much from the perspective of tourism empowerment. Women's empowerment is considered important to be discussed in the context of tourism, as tourism activities provide new opportunities for women to access resources and employment. However, women's empowerment still faces various obstacles. Therefore, effective collaboration between stakeholders is needed to be able to increase women's empowerment, especially in the field of Tourism.

Ibnu Sina Yarsi Islamic Hospital Padang Panjang plays a crucial role in providing medical services to the community.

Strengthening internal capacity and resource optimization are necessary to achieve sustainable improvements in service quality.

The development of digital technology has encouraged the government to modernize public services, including in the field of land affairs. Traditionally, land registration has been associated with long, complex procedures that are often prone to abuse of authority. To address these challenges, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has begun implementing a digital-based land registration system. However, its implementation raises an important question: is this digital system truly effective in improving the quality of services at the Land Office, or does it instead create new obstacles? This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of land registration digitalization, particularly in terms of accessibility, efficiency, transparency, and the challenges encountered during its implementation. The research employs an empirical juridical method with qualitative analysis. The juridical approach is used to examine the legal foundations of land registration digitalization, including Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles, Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 on Land Registration, and the Ministerial Regulation of ATR/BPN No. 1 of 2021 on Electronic Certificates. The empirical approach involves direct observation of service processes at the Land Office and interviews with employees and citizens utilizing digital services. The findings reveal that digitalization of land registration has generally improved the quality of services at the Land Office. Administrative processes have become faster, land data are stored more securely, and service transparency has increased, as the public can monitor the status of their registration online.

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.

Findings reveal that crime rates in NTT are strongly influenced by social, economic, cultural, and geographical factors. The most prevalent crimes include assault, ordinary theft, traffic accidents, and mob violence. Major contributing factors consist of a local culture of violence, alcohol consumption, economic hardship, and low legal literacy. Polda NTT’s strategies involve preventive measures (routine patrols and public legal education), repressive actions (law enforcement and offender guidance), and humanistic approaches such as the Jumat Curhat program, which facilitates direct dialogue with the community.

This study examines the role of social media, particularly Twitter, as a digital da’wah medium that is fast, interactive, and easily accessible to users. However, the extent to which the use of Twitter can enhance communication confidence among students still requires empirical validation. The focus of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of Twitter use in influencing students’ communication abilities, especially in delivering da’wah messages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of Twitter usage on the communication confidence of students from the 2020 cohort. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. Data were collected through a structured, scale-based questionnaire, in accordance with the positivistic research paradigm that emphasizes objective and measurable hypothesis testing. The research population consisted of 62 students, from which 38 respondents were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling to ensure representation across all population strata. The findings reveal that the use of Twitter has a significant effect on the communication confidence of KPI IAI Al-Azis students from the 2020 cohort in delivering da’wah messages. Regression analysis results show a significance value of 0.050 < 0.05, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.614, indicating a strong relationship. These results suggest that the more frequently students engage with Twitter, the greater their confidence in expressing and disseminating da’wah messages through various digital formats such as text, images, and videos. Twitter thus provides an expressive platform that fosters interaction, encourages participation, and strengthens students’ digital da’wah communication skills.
