This study aims to determine and evaluate the Performance of the Food Crops Agriculture Service in the 2018-2023 Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution Program (Case Study of Rice Farmers, in Seso Village, Ngada Regency). Using a qualitative descriptive approach with Atik Septi Winarsih's theory and Robbins' theory which highlights Responsiveness, Responsibility, Accountability, Punctuality, Work Commitment. The study involved 12 Informants.The results showed that in the subsidized fertilizer distribution program, employees of the Food Crop Agriculture Office of Ngada Regency have not carried out their duties in accordance with the needs of farmers on agricultural land, this is due to communication deficiencies such as in terms of providing infrastructure, fertilizer stocks, and the problem of changing fertilizer price increases and in terms of special training in accessing the E-RDKK system. One of the factors that hinders access to this system is that farmers do not understand the use of the E-RDKK system through android phones and the lack of knowledge that farmers have. The Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office has also not provided sufficient facilities and infrastructure on farms because there are many delays in distribution that take more time than the specified time. Services at the Ngada Regency Food Crop Agriculture Office have not been in accordance with the implementation in the field so that farmers' needs have experienced delays in service. Another form of participation that supports the sustainability of the subsidized fertilizer distribution program is by conducting socialization activities. The form of participation that is carried out is contrary to community expectations where the completion time is delayed from the time that should be determined.

This article aims to analyze the short story Destination of the Land of Twilight through the lens of contemporary existentialist theories, focusing on the concepts of freedom, anxiety, and absurdity. Through this approach, this article will explore how these themes appear in short stories and how the main character faces them in his life journey full of uncertainty. By connecting these contemporary theories with literary works, this article is expected to provide deeper insights into the interaction between literature and philosophy in describing the existential condition of humans in the modern world. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analytical approach to analyze the short story The Purpose of the Land of Senja by Seno Gumira Ajidarma through the lens of existentialist philosophy. The main focus of this research is to explore the philosophical themes contained in short stories, such as freedom, anxiety, and absurdity, which are concepts in existentialism. The theoretical approach used draws on the thought of contemporary philosophers, such as Michel Foucault, Alain de Botton, and Jean-Luc Nancy, to examine how these short stories reflect the human experience of uncertainty and the search for meaning in life. The data collection technique is carried out by text study, namely reading and reviewing short stories in depth to identify elements that reflect existential themes, as well as relevant literature reviews. The short story The Purpose of the Land of Senja by Seno Gumira Ajidarma depicts the existential journey of a protagonist who is trapped in the search for the meaning of life. The main character in this short story is depicted in a state of confusion, questioning the purpose of his life and the world around him. This search, which is depicted with the metaphor of "Land of Twilight", reflects the anxiety and uncertainty that is at the heart of existentialism.

Nutrition plays an important role in influencing health, especially in pregnant women. Adequate nutritional intake is very important to support the health of the mother and fetus. Malnutrition, such as Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), is a health problem that is often experienced by pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age and number of pregnancies (gravida) with the incidence of CED in pregnant women at the Pagar Merbau Health Center, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency, in 2023. This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, which observed independent and dependent variables only once at a time. The study sample consisted of 56 pregnant women selected using the Purposive Sampling technique. The results showed that most respondents had a high school education of 34 people (60.7%), with the least number of college graduates of 2 people (3.6%). Most respondents were unemployed or housewives as many as 30 people (53.6%), while those who worked as farmers, employees, traders, and laborers were 10 people (10%), 8 people (14.3%), 7 people (12.5%), and 1 person (1.8%). This study also shows that the more often a mother is pregnant, the less attention she pays to health and nutritional intake, because pregnancy is considered a common thing.

Restructuring is a step in overcoming financing problems that arise because debtors experience difficulties in fulfilling their obligations, which is known as default. The government, through the Financial Services Authority, asks banking institutions to identify debtors and provide financing restructuring policies with the aim of providing relief to the public, especially debtors, in financing payments. This research aims to find out how restructuring is implemented as an effort to manage problematic financing at KB Bank Syariah KC Surabaya. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach in the nature of library research, namely by using books and literature related to this research. The results of this research are that implementing restructuring of problematic financing in banks will benefit in the form of reducing Non-Performing Finance (NPF), which will ultimately have a positive impact on the overall health of the bank. Apart from that, from an economic perspective, the Bank will receive installment payments from debtors in accordance with the restructuring agreement that has been agreed between the bank and the debtor. The success of implementing financing restructuring depends on the intention and willingness of both parties, namely the debtor and financing, to work together in resolving financing problems that arise.
